The Omnibus Barry Farm Redevelopment Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2026
This bill amends the 2022 Barry Farm Redevelopment Act to allow the District Surveyor to officially record street and alley closing plans in multiple phases rather than all at once. The legislation sets specific deadlines for completing these records, requiring Phase 1A plans by December 2028, Phase 1B by December 2026, and Phases 2A and 2B by December 2034, contingent on approval from the District Department of Transportation. It directly affects the redevelopment process in the Barry Farm neighborhood by establishing a structured timeline for updating official land records as construction work is finished.

MINOR
The bill was reorganized and updated to clarify the timeline for recording street and alley plats in multiple phases. The most significant change is the correction of the deadline for Phase 1B plats from December 2026 to December 2030, while maintaining the 2028 deadline for Phase 1A and the 2034 deadline for Phases 2A and 2B. The bill also adds a new section requiring the Surveyor to record dedication plats for all phases by specific dates.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on the Barry Farm Redevelopment Act, but the applicability of the deadlines was adjusted to allow more time for Phase 1B work.
TIMELINE
The deadline for recording Phase 1B street and alley closing plats was extended from December 2026 to December 2030.
REQUIREMENT
A new requirement was added to record street and alley dedication plats for all phases by specific dates (2028, 2030, and 2034).
TECHNICAL
The bill text was restructured to separate the requirements for closing plats (Section 2) from dedication plats (Section 3) and corrected a typo in the citation of the original Act.
