Durham County Property Inventory
Body

Request For Board Action:
Agenda Text
The County Manager recommends that the Board receive the attached Durham County Property Inventory and provide direction as appropriate. The attached Property Inventory supplements a map and list of County-owned property provided in February 2018 that included the location and assessed value of all County-owned property. The attached list is divided into several categories for ease of use. In addition, since the Board has also expressed interest in determining whether there are County-owned properties suitable for affordable housing, columns have been provided to indicate whether the property is within the City limits, zoning classification, and whether the parcel is within 1/2 mile of the planned light rail corridor.
The list includes several parcels that the Manager has flagged for further study with respect to how they fit into the County’s long term real estate portfolio that are outlined in the supplemental attachment. It is important that any recommendations or decisions regarding potential reallocations of County-owned properties take into account the upcoming County CIP and Facility Master Plan, which are slated to go to the Board in early 2019.
Alignment With Strategic Plan: The attached Durham County Property Inventory supports Goal 5 “Accountable, efficient and visionary government”
Resource Persons: Jane Korest, Open Space & Real Estate Manager; Nancy Mitchell, Senior Real Estate Officer, Peri Manns, Deputy Director of Engineering and Environmental Services
County Manager’s Recommendation: The County Manager recommends that the Board receive the attached Durham County Property Inventory and provide additional direction as appropriate.
