16. PUBLIC HEARINGS
Public Hearing matters will begin no earlier than 5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matters are reached on the agenda.
16.1 PUBLIC HEARING - PUBLIC HEARING TO REVIEW EVIDENCE OF
DEFAULT BY CORNERSTONE PROPERTIES II, LLC ON THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 410 B STREET, SANTA ROSA, CA APN
010-045-025
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to an Agreement of Purchase and Sale for Future Infill Development and Joint Escrow Instructions (“Agreement”), the City sold the property located at 410 B Street in downtown Santa Rosa (APN 010-045-025) (“Property”) to Cornerstone Properties II, LLC (“Cornerstone”) on August 27, 2021, subject to the requirement that Cornerstone satisfy specific development milestones by specified deadlines. The City has granted Cornerstone two extensions of the deadlines for completion of the development milestones, totaling an additional 2.5 years. Because Cornerstone did not complete the development milestones by August 24, 2024, the second extended deadline, it is in material default of the Agreement. After meeting with Cornerstone, City staff determined that Cornerstone is not likely to move forward with the timely development of the Property even if the City further extends the milestone deadlines and issued a notice of default on August 29, 2024. The Agreement stipulates that following issuance of a notice of default, the Council must hold a public hearing to review evidence of defaults by Cornerstone and may elect to repurchase the property from Cornerstone for the Call Purchase Price of $1,340,000 (which is equal to the original purchase price) in accordance with Section 23(d) of the Agreement if Council determines that Cornerstone is in default.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by Real Estate Services that the Council: 1) conduct a public hearing to review evidence of the defaults by Cornerstone Properties II, LLC “(Cornerstone”) on the property located at 410 B Street, APN 010-045-025 (“Property”) in Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report

connection with the Agreement of Purchase and Sale for Future Infill Development and Joint Escrow Instructions (“Agreement”); and 2) by resolution, elect to repurchase the Property for the Call Purchase Price of $1,340,000 in accordance with the terms of section 23 (d) of the Agreement to facilitate the revitalization of the City’s downtown and Council’s goal to create more housing.
