(a)Approvals. The Agency shall not make any Disposition until and unless the following approvals have been granted: (1) Governing Body Approval. All Dispositions shall require prior approval by the Governing Body and shall be subject to any further terms and conditions imposed by the Governing Body as a condition for its approval.

Such documents may contain such terms and conditions, consistent with these Rules, as are required by the City on a city-wide basis or as the Agency determines are necessary or desirable to transfer fee title or any other real property interest in the Site, enforce the obligations of the Sponsor, effectuate the purposes of the Project, and otherwise protect the best interests of the City.
