Logan City staff told a public hearing that the city intends to convey a vacant parcel near 3rd South and 1st East to Bragg on the condition it be developed for low‑income housing.

City staff member Craig explained that state law requires a public hearing before disposing of real property of this size and that the conveyance document will include a deed restriction requiring the site to be used for low‑income housing. "Bragg must develop this property within five years. If the property is not developed or is not used for low‑income housing, it'll revert back to the city," Craig said. Staff and the mayor said Bragg will still need to pursue rezoning and planning‑process approvals before building.

The council and staff framed the property transfer as part of the city's moderate‑income housing efforts. Mayor Daines said the parcel is downtown, near transit routes and services, and that the city used affordable‑housing funds when it purchased the property. "We are not in a position to build or run housing, but Bragg could do that. So our part of the deal would essentially be the property," the mayor said.

Several residents spoke in support during the hearing. Dr. Gail Yost, who identified herself as the neighborhood vice chair and a nearby homeowner, said the neighborhood has long needed this kind of housing and described experience working with Bragg in the 1980s. "We have long needed something like this in our neighborhood so that we can say we're a neighborhood of goodwill and taking care of others," Dr. Yost said. Resident Gideon Martin said Bragg has actively helped the community and urged the council to proceed.

Council members said they would proceed with paperwork to gift the parcel so Bragg can prepare a project and apply for rezoning and planning approvals; no council roll‑call vote was required at the public hearing. Staff repeatedly noted the project must still pass required land‑use reviews, neighbor notifications and any subsequent hearings. The council also said that if the deed restriction is violated or the development is not substantially completed within five years, the property would revert to city ownership.

Next steps: staff will finalize conveyance documents and Bragg will proceed through rezone and planning processes that include public notice and hearings.
