Transfer of Jurisdiction over a Portion of Lot 1008 in Square 1299, being a Portion of Reservation 357, S.O. 25-01882, Approval Resolution of 2026

This bill approves transferring jurisdiction over a 709-square-foot parcel of federally owned land (part of Reservation 357, Lot 1008 in Square 1299) from the National Park Service to the District of Columbia. It directly affects the District’s ability to manage a small public right-of-way area needed for a private redevelopment project - a vacant office building being converted to multifamily housing with ground-floor educational space. The transfer enables necessary building permits by providing access (ingress/egress) to the development, with the developer responsible for maintaining the land as public greenspace. This is a procedural administrative transfer with no new policy or cost to the District.
