REPORT - APPROVAL OF REAL PROPERTY EXCHANGE  
AGREEMENT FOR CITY HALL CAMPUS (90 & 100 SANTA ROSA  
AVENUE (PORTION), 631 & 655 1ST STREET) AND 520 3RD  
STREET; DECLARATION OF EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND; AND  
RELATED ACTIONS  
BACKGROUND: The proposed Exchange Agreement advances vital  
community benefits in Downtown Santa Rosa while delivering a fiscally  
responsible strategy to reduce taxpayer exposure to the significant  
costs, risks, and long-term liabilities associated with the current City  
Hall facility.  
By exchanging a severely deteriorated City Hall Campus for the  
property at 520 3rd Street, the City can establish a centralized  
"one-stop" civic hub, eliminate more than $100 million in capital  
liabilities, and reposition core downtown land for private investment. To  
execute this strategy, the City will convey the Exchange Property to  
MOTS LLC (while retaining a 1.61-acre portion of 100 Santa Rosa  
Avenue that contains critical Santa Rosa Creek and Matanzas Creek  
flood control infrastructure), acquire 520 3rd Street, and appropriate  
$4,500,000 from previously assigned General Fund Reserves and  
$46,868 from available General Fund Reserves for the net purchase  
price differential of $4,546,868 based on valuations informed by  
independent appraisals and facilities reports. This action also declares  
the Exchange Property as exempt surplus land pursuant to California  
Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(C), approves a nominal rent ($2)  
leaseback of portions of the Exchange Property for up to two years  
during facility renovation, and establishes the framework to maintain  
continuous public service delivery throughout the transition.  
RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager's Office, Transportation and  
Public Works, and Finance Departments recommend that the Council  
take the following actions:  
1. Adopt the enclosed Resolution of the Council of the City of Santa  
Rosa Declaring Certain Real Property Located at 90 Santa Rosa  
Avenue, a portion of 100 Santa Rosa Avenue, 631 1st Street and  
655 1st Street to be Exempt Surplus Land Pursuant to  
Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(C), and Making Findings  
under the California Environmental Quality Act and CEQA  
Guidelines Section 15162 That No Further Environmental Review  
is Required; and  
2. Adopt the enclosed Resolution of the Council of the City of Santa  
Rosa Approving the Real Property Exchange Agreement Between  
the City of Santa Rosa and Museum on the Square, LLC,  
Adopting CEQA Findings, and Authorizing the City Manager to

Documents.  
This item is requesting appropriations for one-time funding.

SANTA ROSA AMENDING SANTA ROSA CITY CODE CHAPTER  
14-21, WATER WASTE REGULATIONS, TO INCLUDE DEFINITIONS,  
PROHIBITIONS ON IRRIGATION OF NONFUNCTIONAL TURF,  
COMPLIANCE DEADLINES AND ENFORCEMENT PROVISIONS  
BACKGROUND: The City’s Water Waste Regulations, first adopted in  
1999 and last revised in 2023, defines water waste and authorizes  
customer notification, penalties and potential water service  
disconnection in cases of unaddressed violations. Since the  
Regulations were last revised, California Assembly Bill 1572 was signed  
into law in 2023 prohibiting the irrigation of nonfunctional turf with  
potable water at certain property types and establishing compliance  
timelines, including a mandate that local water providers codify the  
regulatory prohibition by January 1, 2027, and thus necessitating an  
update to the Water Waste Regulations.  
RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Public Utilities and Santa Rosa  
Water recommend that the Council approve the first reading and  
introduce an ordinance amending Santa Rosa City Code Chapter 14-21  
Water Waste Regulations to include clarifying definitions, a prohibition  
for irrigating nonfunctional turf with potable water, compliance deadlines  
per affected property type, enforcement provisions, and make other  
clarifying changes. This item has no impact on current fiscal year  
budget.

PUBLIC HEARING - PLACEMENT OF ANNUAL STORM WATER  
ENTERPRISE CHARGES ON THE SONOMA COUNTY PROPERTY  
TAX ROLL  
BACKGROUND: The City of Santa Rosa is required under the federal  
Clean Water Act to obtain and comply with a National Pollutant  
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit and Waste Discharge  
Requirements for Discharges from the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer  
Systems (Storm Water Permit). To comply with permit requirements and  
to control and reduce flooding, property damage, erosion, and storm  
water quality degradation in the City, the Council, in 1996, added Title  
16 to the City Code, which created a Storm Water Enterprise and Utility  
(“Storm Water Enterprise”) as an agency of the City. Under Title 16, the  
City Council is authorized to prescribe and collect charges (special  
assessments) for the services and facilities of the Enterprise. The  
Council’s intention to collect the Storm Water Enterprise charges on the  
Sonoma County Property Tax Roll was stated in Resolution 22880,  
adopted in 1996, which levied the annual charges.  
RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Public Utilities and Santa Rosa  
Water recommend that the Council, by resolution and following a public  
hearing, adopt by a two-thirds vote the Storm Water Enterprise Charge  
Report and approve placement of the Storm Water Enterprise charges  
on the Sonoma County Property Tax Roll for collection by the Sonoma  
County Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector. Parcels with  
charges below the County’s $10 minimum or with known incorrect  
owner contact information would be excluded from the tax roll. This item  
has no impact on the current fiscal year budget.
