This is a text about historic preservation in Peru that says "estaba en proceso una 'sesión en uso' en beneficio de la ciudad" - I don't know if this is a commonly-used term in Peru, or in business or government. I'm looking for an equivalent expression in U.S. English, not just the individual words.

In this context of historic preservation, *land-use rights* and its 'cesión' makes more sense. Thanks, Robert!

Comment: "I think cesión must have been misspelled in the original, and that threw me off. But this makes total sense. Thanks very much."

cession of use
I'm posting this simply to let people know that "cede" and "cession" do exist in English, so "cession of land-use rights" is an option.
Cession(noun) -> the formal giving up of rights, property, or territory by a state.
"the cession of twenty important towns"
synonyms: surrender, surrendering, ceding, conceding, concession, relinquishment, yielding, giving up, handing over, transfer, transference, transferral, granting, grant, bequest; More
