The Sale and Reuse Policies specifically highlight Discounted Sales, which offers a discounted price for projects with a public purposes and specifically includes urban agriculture (individual and community gardens and market and community-supported farms).

This policy may be a useful example of how to include specific vacant land reuse options in sales priorities.
