Background:

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt an ordinance approving and authorizing a Purchase and Sale Agreement between the City of Houston, as Seller, and Niazi Family Investments, as Buyer, in connection with the sale of a parcel of vacant land at George Bush Intercontinental Airport/Houston (IAH).

 

SPECIFIC EXPLANATION:

In 2005, the City of Houston, through its Houston Airport System (HAS), purchased this parcel of land from the previous owner as part of a noise mitigation program.  The property is located south of IAH, near the intersection of Aldine Westfield Road and Greens Road. 

 

HAS has determined the property to be surplus to its needs and canvassed other City departments, but none were interested in acquiring it .  The property was  subsequently offered for purchase to an abutting property owner, Niazi Family Investments.  They accepted the offer of $225,000.00, which is based on appraisal.
