located in the northwest portion of the City from its current designation, P -I (Public

General Plan Amendment, Rezone, and Stadium Area Master Plan Final Development Plan
(SAMP) amendments (the "Project "), in accordance with the City of Rohnert Park Municipal
Code ( "RPMC "); and
WHEREAS, in conjunction with the rezoning of the project site from P -I to P -D, the
Project proposes that the City Zoning Map be amended to designate the entire project site as a P-
D zoned area and within the SAMP boundaries, as provided in the Proposed Zoning Map
Revision attached hereto as Exhibit 1; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration
prepared for the Project; recommended its certification by the City Council; and has otherwise
carried out all requirements for the Project pursuant to CEQA; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to California State Law and the RPMC, an eighth page public
hearing notice was published for a minimum of 10 days prior to the first public hearing in the
Community Voice; and
WHEREAS, on October 24, 2013, the Planning Commission held a public hearing at
which time interested persons had an opportunity to testify either in support or opposition to the
proposal; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed and considered the information
contained in Planning Application No. PL2013 -041 for the proposed rezoning of property and
recommended approval by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, on November 12, 2013, the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park held a
public hearing at which time interested persons had an opportunity to testify either in support or
opposition to the Project. At that meeting the Council approved Resolution No. 2013 -154
adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Resolution No. 2013 -155 amending the General
Plan Land Use Diagram regarding the Project and introduced this Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the
application for the proposed Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Rohnert
Park does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council makes the following findings concerning the SAMP
amendments:
1. That the proposed zoning and /or amendment is consistent with the General Plan.
873
Criteria Satisfied. The rezoning of the Project site from P -I to P -D is proposed
concurrently with an amendment to the General Plan redesignating the site's land use
designation from Public - Institutional to High Density Residential, which will allow
residential uses on the project site. Rezoning the site to a P -D classification is
consistent with the General Plan, as amended, because the P -D zoning designation
accommodates a range of residential, commercial and industrial land uses, which are
mutually- supportive and compatible with existing and proposed development on
surrounding properties (see Rohnert Park Municipal Code § 17.06.200). The P -D
zoning implements the SAMP and additionally, the P -D rezoning proposed for the
Project site provides for residential uses as discussed in the staff report, and such use
is consistent with the High Density Residential land use designation provided in the
amended General Plan Diagram. The proposed rezoning is, in all other respects,
consistent with the proposed General Plan Amendment.
2. That the proposed zoning and /or amendment will be beneficial to and not detrimental
to the public health, safety, or welfare.
Criteria Satisfied. Rezoning the project site from P -I to P -D will be beneficial to
public health, safety, and welfare by allowing residential uses to be established on the
project site. Pursuant to the Rohnert Park Municipal Code, areas zoned P -D
accommodate a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial land uses, which
are mutually - supportive and compatible with existing and proposed development on
surrounding properties (see Rohnert Park Municipal Code § 17.06.200). The project
site is located immediately adjacent to the SAMP and the parcel adjacent to the
southern boundary of the project site is within the SAMP and is designated for high
density residential uses. The Project proposes to utilize the project site and the
adjacent parcel to develop 94 of the high density residential units allocated in the
SAMP.
3. That a duly noticed public hearing has been held to receive and consider public
testimony regarding the proposed rezoning and amendment to the Zoning Map.
Criteria Satisfied. A duly noticed public hearing regarding introduction of the
rezoning and Zoning Map amendment was held on November 12, 2013 was held by
the City Council on November 12, 2013 in conformance with the notice provisions of
Government Code §§ 65090 and 65091 and the requirements of the RPMC.
SECTION 2. Approval of Rezone of Project Site and Amendments to Zoning Map. The
City hereby approves the rezone of the project site from P -I to P -D and the amended Zoning Map
in substantially similar form as attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit 1.
SECTION 3. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The City
Council has adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration, which evaluated the impacts of
implementation of this Ordinance, as described in Resolution No. 2013 -154 approved on
November 12, 2013.
SECTION 4. Severability. The City Council hereby declares that every section, paragraph,
sentence, clause and phrase is severable. If any section, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of
873
this article is for any reason found to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity, or
unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining sections,
paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases.
SECTION 5. Effective Date. This ordinance shall be in full force and effective 30 days after
its adoption, and shall be published and posted as required by law.
This ordinance was adopted by the Council of the City of Rohnert Park on November 26, 2013,
