IMPACT:
In 1993, the City acquired property which had been abandoned railroad right
of way from the Sycan B Corp.. The principal purpose of the acquisition was
to facilitate the improvement of Pioneer Parkway, including the ultimate
expansion of the parkway to connect with Beltline Road. The extension,
Martin Luther King, Jr., Parkway, has now been constructed. The alignment
of the Parkway followed the right of way for a substantial portion, but did
not use this parcel of approximately 0.45 acres at the northern end of the
property acquired from Sycan B. The parcel is burdened by a number of
easements and is not suitable for construction or for any other public use.
One owner of abutting property has expressed an interest in acquiring the
property. The interested party is now constructing the Women's Care facility
and intends to use this parcel, if acquired, for additional parking.
Staff recommends that the property be offered for public sale consistent with
the provisions of Municipal Code Section 2.714 and the relevant provision
of Oregon Revised Statutes regulating the disposal of public property.
