RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with EAH, Inc., a non-profit corporation, for the development of affordable senior housing and approximately 1,250 sq.ft. of space to be used for senior citizens programs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. Staff project costs are covered by the Housing Successor budget.
BACKGROUND:
The County, in its capacity as Housing Successor to the Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency, is the owner of approximately 0.98 acres of vacant real property located near Willow Avenue and San Pablo Avenue in Rodeo, California (Assessor’s Parcel No. 357-120-074). The County is also the owner of 189/199 Parker Avenue, Rodeo, the site of the existing Rodeo Senior Center. However, the County is exploring the possibility of selling the 189/199 Parker Avenue site, and relocating senior services. Since EAH, Inc. developed the 50-unit senior housing, Rodeo Gateway Apartments, adjacent to the vacant real property, the Department of Conservation and Development is seeking to execute an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with EAH.
