This existing single-story building offers the potential to expand to 2-3 stories, creating a valuable opportunity to contribute to the city’s growing demand for residential housing.

The existing building, constructed in the mid-1960s, features Mid-Century Modern architectural design. Its property line walls are composed of 8-inch reinforced masonry units, capable of supporting a second-story addition. The roof structure consists of premanufactured wood and steel trusses in good condition, spanning the entire width of the building.

City Approval &
Redevelopment Potential
The proposed addition and remodel have received preliminary approval from the City of Sebastopol Planning and Building Departments.
- If the remodel includes at least 400 SF of commercial space, with the remaining square footage designated for residential use, the project qualifies as a "preapproved use," requiring only design review approval before submitting for building permits.
- If the entire building is converted to 100% residential use, a planning commission approval is required for a "change of use." However, the City of Sebastopol has indicated support for such approval.
Included Materials & Support
- Preliminary plans for converting the building into three residential units and one retail space with initial approval from the city.
- Preliminary structural plans for cost estimation.
- A consultant is available to guide the construction plans through the permitting process. This property presents an exciting opportunity for redevelopment in Sebastopol’s evolving downtown corridor!
