Through a resolution duly approved by its municipal legislature, any municipality may request from the Government of Puerto Rico, its agencies, instrumentalities or public corporations, or from any other government entity which is the titleholder of the lot involved, the gratuitous transfer of the usufruct of any lot or part thereof that is uncultivated or vacant, and located within the urban limits of its municipal boundaries. The term “part” shall be understood to be any piece of land with an area of not less than fifty (50) square meters, nor more than four thousand (4,000) square meters. For the purposes of this chapter, the islands or pieces of land which are part of the highway or street division system, or which are being used by government entities that own them for the purposes provided in their respective organic acts, shall not be considered as uncultivated or vacant lots nor parts thereof.
