A. The mayor may, with the approval of the council by ordinance, negotiate a lease of city land without public auction or sealed bid and without voter ratification under the following conditions:

B. Leases authorized under this section shall be subject to all other requirements and conditions applicable to leases under this chapter, except that no appraisal of the leased property is required for a lease to a public utility under subsection (A)(3) of this section.

C. An application to lease city lands for a beneficial new industry under subsection (A)(1) of this section, or for a public purpose under subsection (A)(2) of this section shall be made in the same manner as other applications to lease city land and shall include a plan for development and use of the property requested. To approve an application under subsection (A)(1) of this section, the council must find that the proposed use of city land is for a beneficial new industry. To approve an application under subsection (A)(2) of this section, the council must determine that the proposed use of city land is for a worthwhile public service, that there will be no discrimination in providing the service, and that the use will be nonprofit. The city may, from time to time, make such other requirements as it deems proper before the issuance of such leases. The lessee’s failure to develop and use the land in accordance with the approved plan may result in revocation of the lease. (Ord. 08-16(SUB) § 2, 2008; Ord. 02-20 § 2, 2002; prior code § 7.16.110)
