Executive Summary:
Staff had evaluated the City property at 2989 E. Butler Avenue and it was determined that due to the future roundabout the development options for the property were very limited. The adjacent property owner had submitted plans to the City for the development of 40 bungalow homes on their parcel at 3001 E. Butler Avenue. Due to this adjacent development, Staff realized a potential opportunity to sell the City property and request affordable units to be built on the site. Staff was directed by the prior Council to offer approximately .74 acres of City property at 2989 E. Butler Avenue for sale and development to include affordable housing units. The City property was advertised at a minimum bid of $130,000 plus 5 affordable units in Solicitation No. 2019-67 and closed on Thursday, February 21, 2019. One bid was received. March 19, 2019 staff received approval to accept the bid by the City Council and enter into a Purchase Agreement and Development Agreement for the sale of the property. The sale is contingent on the City Council approval of the Development Agreement which will be brought to Council for consideration and approval on July 2nd, 2019.

The city will receive $130,000 from the sale of approximately .74 acres of vacant land and will also receive 5 affordable housing units.

Background and History:
The City's Real Estate Staff has been evaluating all city parcels to determine if there are any sites suitable for development in an effort to further the Council's Goal of Affordable Housing. Real Estate considered the City parcel at 2989 E. Butler Avenue and was informed by the City Engineering that there would be a future roundabout in that location and a majority of the parcel would be needed. Real Estate worked with Engineering and Planning to further evaluate the parcel to determine if any portion of the parcel could still be developed. Engineering determined that .74 acres of the 1.84 acres could be split off and sold. It was determined however that due to the future roundabout the development options for the parcel were very limited because access to the site would only be available off the future realigned Herold Ranch Road as a right-in right-out only after the construction of the roundabout (construction of roundabout TBD).
Meanwhile, the adjacent property owner had submitted plans to the City for the development of 40 bungalow homes on their parcel at 3001 E. Butler Avenue. Due to this adjacent development, Staff realized a potential opportunity to sell the remaining portion of the City parcel and request affordable units to be built on the site.
Staff was directed by Council on November 13, 2018, to offer approximately .74 acres of City property at 2989 E. Butler Avenue for sale and development to include affordable housing units. The City property was advertised at a minimum bid of $130,000 plus 5 affordable units in Solicitation No. 2019-67 and closed on Thursday, February 21, 2019. One bid was received. March 19, 2019, Council accepted the offer and directed Staff to enter into a Purchase Agreement and Development Agreement for the sale of the property. The Development Agreement will be brought before Council on July 2nd, 2019 for consideration and approval. The Purchase Agreement is contingent on Council Approval of the Development Agreement.
City parcel was acquired on April 14, 1970, from Ernest and Evelyn Chilson and recorded in document number 376 page 654.
