Notice shall be given by describing the property to be sold or conveyed, stating the proposed monetary consideration or lack thereof, and stating the City Council's intent to approve the sale or conveyance.

SECTION 1.(c)  For purposes of this act, a single‑family residential zoning district means a zoning district established by the City's zoning ordinance which allows a single‑family dwelling as a permitted use.
