Parcels meeting the following criteria shall be sold without competitive bidding as an entire parcel only:
A. The parcel has been determined not to be an economically viable unit of property to other than a preferential interest based upon consideration of such characteristics as size, shape, access, zoning, or other factors that may affect the economic value and use of the parcel.
B. A nonpreference sale of the parcel would create a nuisance and/or cloud upon an existing interest in the property and could unreasonably diminish the value of such an interest.
C. Priority of preference.
1. First priority is given to any possessory interest.
2. If no possessory interest exists, priority is given to abutting property owners.
3. If there is a conflict between two (2) or more possessory interests or two (2) or more abutting property owners, the auditor may direct that the property be bid as between the two (2) conflicting possessory interests. (Ord. 3.65, 4-7-1997, eff. 4-28-1997)
