WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 14-096-21 adopted by the Plan Commission of the City of Chicago (the "Plan Commission") on October 16, 2014, the Plan Commission recommended the sale of certain of the City Parcels, and by Resolution No. 15-006-21 adopted by the Plan Commission on January 15, 2015, the Plan Commission recommended the sale of the balance of the City Parcels; now, therefore,

SECTION 1. The above recitals are expressly adopted herein as the legislative findings of the City Council and incorporated herein and made a part of this ordinance.
SECTION 2. The Mayor or his proxy is authorized to execute, and the City Clerk or Deputy City Clerk is authorized to attest, quitclaim deeds, each such deed conveying a City Parcel to the respective Qualifying Property Owner (as that term is defined in the Large Lot Program Ordinance) selected by the Department, or to a land trust of which the Qualified Property Owner is the sole beneficiary, or to an entity of which the Qualified Property Owner is the sole owner and the controlling party, for the purchase price of One Dollar ($1.00) per City Parcel.
SECTION 3. Any deed conveying a City Parcel to a Qualifying Property Owner may contain such covenants as the Department reasonably deems necessary, including, but not limited to, covenants that require the Qualifying Property Owner for a period of five (5) years commencing on the date on which the City conveys title to such City Parcel to the Qualifying Property Owner (a) to remain in title to the City Parcel and (b) to maintain the City Parcel. The City shall have a right of reverter if the Qualifying Property Owner fails to comply with such covenants. The Department may require the Qualifying Property Owner to execute a reconveyance deed at the time the City conveys the City Parcel, for the purpose of facilitating the City's exercise of its right of reverter, if necessary.
