SECTION 1. Findings for Adoption of Prezoning and Amendment of the Zoning Map
The City Council hereby makes the following findings concerning the prezoning of
property and amendment to City zoning map proposed by Planning Application No. PL2Q03-
031 SPpursuant to Rohnert Park Municipal Code section 17.25.073:
1. That the proposed prezoning is consistent with the general plan.
. Criteria Satisfied. The City General Plan designation for the project site. is
currently Mixed Use, Rural Estate Residential, Low Density Residential, Medium
Density and Residential. The project area is identified as a specific plan area in
the General Plan. The proposed Southeast Specific Plan (SESP) includes the
current uses identified in the General Plan and adds Public/Institutional and
Parks/Recreation to incorporate needed infrastructure and park sites to satisfy the
requirements for specific plans in the Zoning Ordinance. The Rohnert Park
Municipal Code Subsection 17.06.300 states that a Specific Plan District shall
apply to an area designated as appropriate for a specific plan in the General Plan;
therefore the proposed prezoning is consistent with the General Plan.
2. That the proposed zoning and/or amendment will be beneficial to and not
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare.
Criteria Satisfied. As discussed in the staff report, prezoning the Project site to
SP is consistent with the General Plan's vision for the project site. The proposed
prezoning district will be beneficial to public health, safety, and welfare by
. allowing a variety of residential, commercial, public, and recreational to be
established on the Project site. The proposed land uses inthe planned SP Zoning
District are compatible with existing and proposed development on surrounding
properties and as proposed incorporates numerous elements and mitigation
measures which will advance public health, safety, and welfare.
3. That with the proposed prezoning adequate and available sites remain to mitigate
the loss of residential density on the subject property to accommodate the city's
'Yair share" regional housing needs used by the.State Department of Housing and
, Development in determining compliance with Housing Element Law pursuant to
.Government Code Section 65863(b).
Criteria Satisfied. The proposed prezone on the site will allow the future
annexation and development of the site with residential uses that would enhance
the availability of housing in the City and assist in meeting the City's "fair share"
regional housing needs requirements as the proposed project on the site will be
subject to the requirements of a Development Agreement which includes an
Affordable Housing Plan consistent with the City's inclusionary housing
ordinance. Further, approximately 1,179 affordable units are approved or
proposed within the City's Urban Growth Boundary which are adequate to
accommodate the City's applicable affordable housing requirements.
SECTION 2. Adoption of Pre zoning and Amendment of the Zoning Map
Based on the findings set forth in the preceding section, the City Council ordains that the
official prezone adopted for Assessor's Parcel Number 47-111-030 containing approximately 80
acres in the area located northeast of Bodway Parkway and Valley House Drive shall be Specific
Plan District (SP) and further amends the Zoning Map as depicted on attached Exhibit A
attached hereto and by reference incorporated herein.
SECTION 3. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act.
The City Council has certified a Final Environmental Impact Report for the Southeast
Specific Plan, which evaluated the impacts of implementation of this ordinance, including
adoption of associated CEQA Findings, Statement of Overriding Considerations, and the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program in Resolution No. 2010-134.
SECTION 4. Effective Date.
This ordinance shall be in full force and effective 30 days after its adoption, and shall be
