Approve Sale of Downtown City Blocks (Chevron & Johns Parcels) to 908 Group for $11M

The Commission approved selling two downtown city-owned parcels totaling approximately 5 acres—the Chevron block and Johns block—to the 908 Group for $11,000,000. A substitute motion was adopted specifying that if the transaction falls through, a new RFP process would be conducted and brought back to the Commission, rather than negotiating with the second-ranked proposer. The substitute motion passed 4-1 with Commissioner Williams-Cox dissenting.
