Grant money is coming from the state to help Santa Rosa develop two downtown parking lots into housing. This week, the city council voted to move forward with negotiations with two development teams that would transform two large parking sites. A city-owned garage on Third Street and the former White House department store lot are set to be transformed into mixed-income housing. They have now received $9.5-million dollars from the California Housing and Community Development Department to pre-develop those lots. Upgrades that could be done include utility upgrades; new roads; parks and landscaping for irrigation; concrete work; urban greening; and development of a walking and bike path along with lighting.
