Summary

The Commission may immediately sell to people who lease them single residential lots that were won by competitive bid and do not have a Government-owned building, at the lot’s initial valuation shown in the lease. The Commission may also, as soon as possible, sell other lots to individual owners for single-family or duplex homes while following zoning rules the new city is likely to set (for Los Alamos, the likely local government zoning).
