DATE: October 6, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Sunflower Hill at Grace Pointe - Amendment to the Affordable Housing
Assistance Agreement, Purchase and Sale Agreement, Land Lease
Agreement, and Acceptance of Land Dedication
Prepared by: Jason Earl, Senior Management Analyst
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving the First Amendment to the Affordable Housing
Assistance Agreement for the Sunflower Hill at Grace Pointe Project, authorizing the City to
enter into a purchase and sale agreement and land lease with Sunflower Grace, L.P., and
accepting a land donation. Sunflower Hill at Grace Pointe is a 60-unit affordable housing
development proposed to be constructed on a 1.88-acre property within the Dublin Centre
project. The purchase and sale agreement and lease would allow the developer to retain site
control until it is ready to acquire the site and begin construction and will strengthen its
applications for affordable housing financing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving the First Amendment to the Affordable Housing Assistance
Agreement, a Purchase and Sale Agreement, and a Land Lease Agreement with Sunflower
Grace, L.P.; and Accepting a Land Dedication for the 1.88-acre Affordable Housing Site Within
Dublin Centre.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no direct financial impact to the City. The Developer, Sunflower Grace, L.P., is solely
responsible for all direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
acquisition of the property. As provided in the lease, the Developer will pay the City rent of $1
per month, payable in advance, 12 months at a time. The Developer is responsible for all
taxes, assessments, and other charges that are levied and assessed against the property
during the term of the lease, and will further be responsible for maintaining, insuring, and
securing the property at its cost. As provided in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the
30

purchase price for the property to be paid by the Developer to the City is $1.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
On November 5, 2024, the City Council entered into an Affordable Housing Assistance
Agreement (AHAA) with Sunflower Grace, L.P., for the Sunflower Hill at Grace Pointe project
anticipated to be constructed on property at the corner of Dublin Boulevard and Brannigan
Street within the Dublin Centre project. Sunflower Grace, L.P., which includes affiliates of
Sunflower Hill and Satellite Affordable Housing Associates as general partners, is developing a
60-unit low- and very-low-income affordable housing project for those with intellectual and
developmental disabilities. Under the terms of the AHAA, Sunflower Grace, L.P., would acquire
the property directly from the master developer of Dublin Centre for the purpose of
constructing and operating an affordable rental housing development.
On February 4, 2025, the City Council approved an Affordable Housing Agreement with
Landsea Homes for the Dublin Centre project. As part of the project’s compliance with the
City’s Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance, Landsea Homes, the master developer, agreed to
donate the property, a 1.88-acre area of land at the corner of Dublin Boulevard and Brannigan
Street (Figure 1), to the City or its designated recipient for an affordable housing project.
Figure 1. Location Map
The Affordable Housing Agreement included an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication for the
affordable housing site, which binds the master developer to dedicate the property to the City.
On February 4, 2026, KL LB Buy 2 LLC, the land banker for the master developer and current
property owner, recorded the Irrevocable Offer of Dedication to the City, which allows the City
31
Page 3 of 5
to accept the dedication at any time.
As a non-profit affordable housing developer, Sunflower Grace, L.P., is actively seeking funds
from multiple sources to construct the Grace Pointe project. On October 7, 2025, in support of
the Developer’s funding effort, the City Council affirmed its intention to acquire the property
from the Dublin Centre master developer and declare the property to be exempt surplus land
pursuant to the Surplus Land Act. Receipt of the property from the City as exempt surplus land
(rather than being conveyed directly from the master developer) allows certain funding
applications, such as the Multifamily Housing Program administered by the California
Department of Housing and Community Development and the Multifamily Super Notice of
Funding Availability Capital funding, to be more competitive.
Sunflower Grace, L.P., is now requesting to lease the property from the City during the period
between the City’s acquisition of the property and its subsequent conveyance of the property
to Sunflower Grace, L.P. This arrangement would enable the Developer to demonstrate
additional site control until the Developer is prepared to acquire the site and begin
construction.
The current request is to amend the Affordable Housing Assistance Agreement for the
Sunflower Hill at Grace Pointe Project, accept the project site land dedication, and authorize
the City to enter into a purchase and sale agreement and land lease with Sunflower Grace,
L.P., as further described below.
Analysis
First Amendment to Affordable Housing Assistance Agreement
The AHAA for the Sunflower Hill at Grace Pointe project requires that Sunflower Grace, L.P.,
acquire the property from the master developer. The master developer used a land banker, KL
LB Buy 2 LLC, as part of its financial structure for the Dublin Centre project. At the time the
AHAA with Sunflower Grace, L.P., was executed, it was assumed that the master developer
would own the property when the property was ready to transfer. To reflect the change in
ownership and the City’s acquisition of the property from the land banker (rather than
Sunflower Grace, L.P., acquiring the Property), an amendment to the AHAA is necessary.
To provide for the transfer of the property from the City to Sunflower Grace, L.P., the
amendment includes the City’s standard Purchase and Sale Agreement and Option
Agreement. The Purchase and Sale Agreement obligates the City to convey the Property to
Sunflower Grace, L.P., only if it obtains approvals of all the necessary financing for the project,
as well as all necessary City land use approvals. The Option Agreement provides the City with
certainty after the land is transferred to the Developer by allowing the City to take the land
back if the project is unable to proceed. The First Amendment to the Affordable Housing
Assistance Agreement is included as Attachment 2, with the Purchase and Sale Agreement
and the Option Agreement included as Attachment 3.
Acceptance of Land Dedication
The Affordable Housing Agreement with the master developer required two actions prior to the
dedication of the 1.88-acre property. The first was the recordation of the Irrevocable Offer of
32
Page 4 of 5
Dedication, which was completed in February 2026. The second was the completion of
improvements such as rough grading and street frontage improvements, including, but not
limited to, curb, gutter, sidewalk, landscape, irrigation, and access roadways on all sides of the
property that are adjacent to current and future roadways. All improvements were completed
in September 2026, and the land is ready to be dedicated to the City.
Land Lease Agreement
Sunflower Grace, L.P., has requested to lease the property from the City during the period
between the City’s acquisition of the property and its subsequent conveyance of the property
to Sunflower Grace, L.P., This arrangement would provide additional site control until the
Developer is prepared to acquire the site and begin construction. The lease would also serve
to alleviate the City’s liability during this time. As outlined in the lease document, the Developer
is responsible for property maintenance and security as well as all taxes, assessments, and
other charges that are levied and assessed against the property during the term of the lease.
The Developer will not undertake any improvements while the property is being leased. The
physical improvements associated with the development of the Sunflower Hill at Grace P ointe
project will not happen until title to the property is transferred to the Developer. The lease
agreement is included as Attachment 4.
A resolution approving the First Amendment to the Affordable Housing Assistance Agreement
for the Sunflower Hill at Grace Pointe project, accepting the land dedication, and authorizing
the City to enter into a purchase and sale agreement and land lease with Sunflower Grace,
L.P., is included as Attachment 1.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Strategy 4: Housing Affordability
Objective A: Advance implementation of the Housing Element to increase the production of
affordable housing.
Objective C: Proactively identify and facilitate opportunities to attract multi-family housing
development on key sites.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This amendment to the Affordable Housing Assistance Agreement between the City of Dublin
and Sunflower Grace, L.P., and the other actions proposed to be undertaken hereunder, are
not subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant
to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 as they do not meet CEQA’s definition of a project and will
not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and CEQA Guidelines
Section 15061(b)(3), which provides that an activity is exempt from CEQA review when it can
be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect
on the environment.

the report or certification prepared by the CASp inspector upon request (the “Report”). Lessee shall be
solely responsible for the cost of modifications or improvements required to comply with all applicable
accessibility standards under state or federal Regulations, as well as any other repairs, upgrades,
improvements, modifications or alterations required by the Report or that may be otherw ise required to
comply with applicable Regulations or accessibility requirements (the “Access Improvements”) to the
building necessary to correct any such violations of construction-related accessibility standards
identified by such Inspection as required by Regulations, which Access Improvements may, at Lessor’s
option, be performed in whole or in part by Lessor at Lessee’s expense, payable as Additional Rent

taxation, and that it is Lessee’s obligation under this Lease to pay or cause to be paid all of such property
taxes levied on Lessee’s interests in the Property. Lessee acknowledges that it understands that property
taxes may be levied on the Property despite the Lessor’s ownership of fee title to the Property and any

and assessed against the Property, including but not limited to possessory interest taxes and taxes on any

insurance in accordance with the insurance requirements shown in Exhibit “B” and incorporated herein by

or development on the Property without submitting to Lessor a plan and receiving Lessor's approval
thereof. Any such approved alterations, additions or improvements shall be made solely at the cost of

encumbrances. Lessor shall have the right to post and keep posted in a conspicuous place on the

covenants of this Agreement shall be deemed as a waiver at any time thereafter of the same or of any
other term, condition or covenant herein contained, nor of the strict and prompt performance thereof.

or option arising from any breach shall impair any such rights, power, privilege or option or be construed

on account of such default provided that Less ee commences to cure such default within such 30 -day
period and diligently pursues such cure to completion.
