B 26-0039 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Closing of a Portion of a Public Alley and Dedication of Land for Alley Purposes in Square 756, S.O. 24-00310, Act of 2025

This bill allows St. Joseph's Church in Ward 6 to close a 270-square-foot portion of a public alley adjacent to its property and dedicate 105 square feet of its own land to widen the alley at the northern end. The changes are required to support the church's construction of a new 5,220-square-foot community facility for events, food services, and disaster response. The bill formally approves the closure and dedication as requested in the church's 2023 application, following support from local agencies and ANC 6C. It directly affects St. Joseph's Church and the public alley access in Square 756.

The bill text was converted from its 'Engrossed' draft version to the final 'Enrolled' version ready for signature. The substantive policy content remains identical, with only minor formatting adjustments, corrected legal citations, and the addition of standard signature lines for the Council Chairman and Mayor.
TECHNICAL

Corrected a legal citation in Section 2 to change the code reference from '§ 9-202.01' to '§ 9-201.01'.

Added standard signature blocks for the Chairman of the Council and the Mayor at the end of the document.

Adjusted line breaks and spacing to conform to the final enrolled format, though the legislative text itself is unchanged.
