B 26-0764 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

The Omnibus Barry Farm Redevelopment Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2026

This bill temporarily amends the Omnibus Barry Farm Redevelopment Act of 2022 to allow the District's Surveyor to officially record street and alley closing plans in multiple stages rather than all at once. It directly affects the Barry Farm redevelopment project by establishing specific deadlines for recording these plans for different phases, with Phase 1A due by December 2028 and later phases due by December 2034. The legislation requires that each phase be approved by the District Department of Transportation before its corresponding plan is recorded, ensuring the process aligns with ongoing construction work. The act includes a provision that it will automatically expire 225 days after it takes effect.

Introduction → Engrossment · 2 edits
MINOR
This diff reflects only the transition from Introduction to Engrossment status for the Omnibus Barry Farm Redevelopment Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2026. The substantive policy text is unchanged; the only differences are formatting adjustments (line renumbering, header changes) and the addition of the 'ENGROSSED ORIGINAL' designation indicating the bill passed the D.C. Council.
TECHNICAL

The bill header changed from a blank introduction page with Chairman Phil Mendelson's name to an 'ENGROSSED ORIGINAL' designation, indicating the bill was formally adopted by the Council.

Line numbering and formatting were adjusted throughout, including repositioning of the bill number and purpose statement, but no policy language was altered.
