Summary of PR 26-0736: Hill East Phase II Bundle 2 Disposition Term Sheet Amendment Approval Resolution of 2026

Purpose and Intent

This legislation is a Resolution introduced by Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, designated as PR 26-0736, during the 26th Council Session of the District of Columbia.

The core aim is to approve an amendment to the term sheet related to the disposition of Hill East Phase II, Bundle 2. In practical terms, it seeks formal council authorization to modify the terms governing the sale or disposition of a specified parcel or project component within the Hill East development area, specifically for Phase II Bundle 2.

Key Provisions and Changes

Approval of Amendment: The bill authorizes the Council to approve an amendment to the existing disposition term sheet for Hill East Phase II, Bundle 2. This implies changes to conditions, financial terms, timelines, or performance requirements previously negotiated.

Disposition Term Sheet Context: A disposition term sheet typically outlines principal terms for the sale or transfer of publicly held property, including price, timelines, development commitments, public benefits, and compliance obligations. The amendment would adjust those terms as negotiated with the private developer or development partner.

Potential Adjustments (inferred typical content): While the exact text of the amendment is not provided here, common elements that could be amended include: purchase price or consideration, scheduling milestones, affordability requirements, housing mix, public space or infrastructure contributions, revenue-generating mechanisms, or risk allocations (e.g., timing of payments, contingencies).

Affected Parties and Stakeholders

District of Columbia Government: Specifically, the Council (and its Committee on Human Services) and relevant district agencies involved in property disposition and development oversight.

Hill East Phase II, Bundle 2 Developer/Proponent: The private or public-private partner currently engaged in the Hill East Phase II development who would be bound by the amended disposition term sheet.

Local residents and community: Potential beneficiaries or impacts related to housing, public amenities, infrastructure, or service commitments included in the disposition terms.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

Introduction: PR 26-0736 was introduced on June 1, 2026, by Chairman Mendelson.

Sponsorship: Co-sponsored by Council Chair Phil Mendelson.

Committee Referral: On June 23, 2026, the bill was referred to the Committee on Human Services for review and consideration.

Next Steps: After committee review, the bill would typically proceed to full Council consideration, potential public hearings, and voting. If approved, it would move to the Mayor for signature or veto, and then be implemented according to approved timelines.

Potential Implications

Legal/Transactional: Formal approval of the amended term sheet would legally authorize the revised terms for disposition, binding the District and the developer to those terms.

Development Outcomes: The amendment could influence timelines, affordability, public benefits, and the overall success and characteristics of Hill East Phase II, Bundle 2.

Public Interest: Any changes to public space, housing affordability, revenue commitments, or infrastructure could affect public access, neighborhood services, and fiscal planning.
