(1)
Agencies, excepting the Department of State Lands and Department of Transportation, are required by ORS 270.110 (Disposition of property not needed for public use) (1) to offer for sale properties which are:(a) Within the Urban growth boundary of any city, within an Urban reserve, within a Rural community, or within an Urban unincorporated community;
(b) Not being used for public purposes;
(c) Not needed for public use within five years of the last date the property was used for public purposes;
(d) Not set aside by deed, will, or other restriction for cemetery or burial ground use; and
(e) Not otherwise restricted as to use by dedication.
(2) Agencies are encouraged to develop strategic plans for their Real Property Interest holdings. Agencies may request assistance from the Division in preparing a strategic plan for their holdings.
(3) When an Agency determines that a Real Property Interest is, or will soon be, surplus to its needs, the Agency is strongly encouraged to create a disposition strategy for the property. Agencies may request assistance from the Division in preparing a disposition strategy. The strategy should consider:
(a) The Highest and Best Use of the Real Property Interest, consistent with the local planning goals;
(b) How the Real Property Interest might be marketed most effectively, given the nature of the interest and likely potential purchasers;
(c) How the economic return to the State might be maximized;
(d) Whether a Long-Term Lease is desirable; and
(e) How to promote the public purpose of increasing housing options for low-income individuals and families in this State as provided in ORS 458.445 (Authority to relinquish title to property).
