RECONVEYANCE WHERE PROPERTY DEEMED SUITABLE FOR MASS TRANSIT PURPOSES (§
33.2-1006)

If any real property that, under the provisions of § 33.2-1005, is or may
become eligible for reconveyance is deemed suitable for the mass transit
purposes of a public agency, authority, instrumentality, or public service
corporation or company, and such entity has submitted tentative plans to the
Commissioner of Highways for a mass transit facility utilizing such real
property, or portions thereof, and, prior to the eligibility of that real
property for reconveyance under this article, the Commissioner of Highways has
approved the use of such real property for mass transit purposes, such real
estate shall not be eligible for reconveyance under those sections. Upon the
formulation of final plans for the facility, the Commissioner of Highways is
authorized to enter into an agreement with any such entity for the conveyance of
the property to such entity. Any property or portions thereof not necessary for
the mass transit facility shall become eligible for reconveyance under the
provisions of § 33.2-1005 upon a determination of the final plans for the
facility. Such agreement shall provide for the payment to the Commonwealth of an
amount equal to that expended by the Commonwealth in the acquisition of such
real property, including proportionate administrative costs and costs under the
federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act
of 1970, as amended. Upon payment of the agreed consideration, the Commissioner
of Highways shall convey the specified property to the facility. However, if
construction of such planned facilities is not commenced within 10 years from
the date of the agreement between the transit agency and the Commissioner of
Highways, the persons who would otherwise have been authorized to petition for
reconveyance under § 33.2-1005 or their heirs or assigns may seek reconveyance
under the same procedures and on the same basis as established in § 33.2-1005.
		This section shall not compel the Commissioner of Highways to convey any such
property to such entities in contravention of any federal law or regulation
affecting the disposition of real property acquired for highway purposes when
such property is no longer needed for such purposes when such property has been
acquired with federal funding participation.
