SUMMARY FOR ORDINANCE
CONVEYING INTEREST IN PROPERTY TO THE
URBAN REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF PITTSBURGH
SUBMITTED FOR COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 15, 2005
The Allegheny County Department of Economic Development is requesting approval for the conveyance of the County's share of the below listed parcels (located within the City of Pittsburgh) to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) of Pittsburgh. Upon the completion of the transfer, the URA will develop these areas and build new green-design houses on the lots. The development of the new houses will improve the surrounding community, establish a taxable lot, and increase the supply of new housing available to eligible and interested parties. The parcels include:
Block/Lot Ward Address Assessed Value
11-E-284|99|225 Dinwiddie Street $ 26,400
11-E-285|99|223 Dinwiddie Street 117,300
11-A-181|99|307 Dinwiddie Street 3,100
23-F-200-A 25 22 Alpine Avenue 1,900
Total Value $148,700
The lots are currently owned by three taxing bodies per a tri-party resolution. The three taxing bodies are the City of Pittsburgh, the City of Pittsburgh School District, and Allegheny County. Similar requests for the transfer of properties have been made to the City of Pittsburgh and the City of Pittsburgh School District for their interest in these parcels.
The County Solicitor is in the process of reviewing these transfers.
The three taxing bodies will split the consideration received for the four parcels referenced above, as outlined in the ordinance.
