# §2347. Sale of lots to lessees or individual owners

- (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the [Commission](/usc/42/2304.md?p=a) is authorized, immediately upon passage of this chapter, or immediately upon the inclusion of the [community](/usc/42/2304.md?p=b) within the provisions of this chapter, to offer for sale to the lessees [single](/usc/42/2304.md?p=m) residential lots, which were leased by competitive bid and which do not have a Government-owned building thereon, at a price equal to the initial valuation of the lot as stated in the lease.
- (b) The [Commission](/usc/42/2304.md?p=a) is authorized to offer for sale, as soon as possible, other lots, to individual [owners](/usc/42/13641.md?p=4), upon which [single family](/usc/42/2304.md?p=m) or duplex [houses](/usc/42/2304.md?p=c) may be erected, taking into consideration the zoning restrictions the new city is likely to enact with respect to those lots. The zoning restrictions to be taken into account at Los Alamos shall be those which the local government is likely to enact with respect to those lots.
