Downtown Asset Surplus Strategy -Study Session #3
City Council Meeting
October 11, 2022
CCreating a Downtown City Asset Strategy
• The first study session in the downtown series was on August 23, 2022, Parking District Update, which provided a full update to Council on the current state of downtown parking. • The second in the series presented on September 13, 2022, focused on the Housing Action Plan, adopted in 2016 to facilitate the production of “Housing for All”. It also covered the 2019 Santa Rosa Civic Center Feasibility Analysis, which analyzed rebuilding the Santa Rosa City Hall Complex, to make way for housing and address deferred maintenance of City buildings. • Today's presentation covers the Surplus Lands Act, combines information and direction from the previous two sessions as well as the original January 2022 study session, and requests direction on the surplusing of downtown City owned assets.

rd Street (Third Street Garage/Parking Garage 5);
and
2) 700 5 th Street (Parking Lot 10); and
3) 500 5 th Street (Parking Lot 11)
*White House Site was not included at the time due to the civic center portion of strategy.
Council Direction from Jan 25 was:
1) Do NOT surplus parking lot 10, due to the specific needs of adjacent business
2) Consider surplusing White House site- with more info requested/needed on Civic Center Analysis
3) Surplus Garage 5 and Lot 11 – More information requested/needed on Parking

development requirements
• City Council closed session for consideration of
price and terms for long term lease or sale
• Submit a notice of availability to HCD making the
property available to approved affordable
housing sponsors

sponsors
Enter into agreement with housing
sponsor for development
If no interest from approved affordable
housing sponsors, then…
Project sounding, issuance of RFP to
private developers
