NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Rohnert
Park does hereby find, determine and order as follows:
Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct.
Section 2. Findings. The City Council, in approving of Planning Application
No. PL2013 -019UP makes the following findings, to wit:
The proposed location of the Conditional Use is consistent with the objectives of the
Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located.
The proposed development conforms to the use and development standards of the
Wilfred/Dowdell Specific Plan as amended for the Village South area. Where
applicable, the development conforms to the commercial designation with the Specific
Plan zoning and to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant has also
applied for the required Development Area Plan and the proposed use is consistent with
the objectives of the Specific Plan.
2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be
operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare,
or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity and that the
operation and maintenance of the use will be compatible with the surrounding uses.
The proposed development on this property is a commercial use similar to the
surrounding uses in the immediate area and is therefore compatible with neighboring
uses. The developer is providing more than the required parking and queuing space for
the drive - through which also minimizes off site impacts on neighboring uses. The
developer will be performing street improvements on surrounding streets to facilitate
traffic flow from the development and to improve general traffic flow in the area. Based
upon evidence in the application, staff report and related materials, and MND, the
project will not have a negative impact on the public health, safety or welfare or be
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3. The proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this title.
The proposal will comply with all the required standards in the Zoning Ordinance and
the Wilfred /Dowdell Specific Plan because the Specific Plan refers to the C -R zoning
district for development standards. The Development Area Plan conforms to Section
17.06.400 Development area plans - Submittal and approval procedure.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that, based on the foregoing findings, the City Council
does hereby approve the Conditional Use Permit and Development Area Plan for the Project,
subject to the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit A, which are attached hereto and incorporated
by this reference; and
DULY AND REGULARLY ADOPTED on this 13th day of May, 2014.
