<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Gladstone owns the old library property (135 E. Dartmouth), which is no longer needed for library purposes. The City would like to redevelop the property into another unknown use, which could potentially require
a sale or lease.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Although not used as a park, the property is zoned in an area where park use is permissible. Because of this, the Charter prohibits the City from selling or leasing the property without voter approval.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If approved, this measure would authorize the City to sell or lease the property if a sale or lease is required for the chosen redevelopment plan. This approval is contingent on the City providing an opportunity
for public input before Council approves any sale or lease.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">At this time, there are no specific redevelopment plans for the property. The City seeks voter approval to allow for flexibility in planning for redevelopment and to take advantage of opportunities that may
arise between election cycles. The City intends to engage in community outreach to formulate ideas for redevelopment, which could include public or private uses.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
