The above recitations are true and correct and material to this Resolution. Section 2. The City Council certified the Final FIR for this Project, including adoption of associated CEQA Findings, Statement of Overriding Considerations, and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, as described in City Council Resolution No. 2014 -155, approved on November 25, 2014 concurrently with the City Council's approval of this Resolution Section 3. Findings related to the General Plan Amendments. The City Council makes the following findings concerning the Northwest Specific Plan General Plan Amendments proposed by Planning Application No. PLGP2014 -0006: 1. That the proposed site is appropriate for development under the General Plan's Land Use Designations for the site. Criteria Satisfied. The proposed Northwest Specific Plan General Plan Amendments would be similar to the current General Plan land use designations but slightly reconfigured. The proposed amendments would remove the High Density Residential and Commercial- R/High Density Residential designations, and would add the Mixed -Use land use designation to the site. 2. That the proposed General Plan amendments would be consistent with specific policies in the Land Use Element of the General Plan relative to the proposed development. Criteria Satisfied. The proposed Northwest Specific Plan General Plan Amendments are consistent with specific policies in the Land Use Element of the General Plan applicable to the Northwest Specific Plan area. The policies establish a primarily commercial development with a mixed use land use designation for commercial and multi - family uses. The proposed Project proposes no changes to the existing policies envisioned in the General Plan and is therefore consistent with such specific policies. 3. That a duly noticed public hearing has been held to receive and consider public testimony regarding the proposed amendments to the General Plan Land Use Map. Criteria Satisfied. A duly noticed public hearing on the proposed Northwest Specific Plan General Plan Amendments was held on November 25, 2014. 2014 -156 4. That the proposed Project, including the proposed General Plan amendments, is consistent with the General Plan. Criteria Satisfied. The Northwest Specific Plan General Plan Amendments, and consistency of the Project with the General Plan, are discussed in the application materials, the Final EIR, the Specific Plan, staff reports, and submittals by the Project applicant. The City adopts the conclusions and analysis of those documents regarding General Plan consistency. The Project, including the Northwest Specific Plan General Plan Amendments, is consistent with the General Plan and will result in an internally consistent General Plan. S. Approval of the General Plan amendment will not cause the General Plan to become internally inconsistent. Criteria Satisfied. The Northwest Specific Plan General Plan Amendments and the remainder of the General Plan comprise an integrated, internally consistent and compatible statement of policies for the City. The various land uses authorized for the Project are compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan, as amended. The Project is compatible with and conforms to the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan. The Project furthers the objectives and policies of the General Plan and does not obstruct their attainment. The Project is compatible with and in harmony with the General Plan goals and policies. The Project is in harmony with surrounding neighborhoods, and the site is physically suitable for the proposed Project. 6. The City has considered and evaluated the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan and finds that the proposed General Plan amendments are in compliance with the General Plan. The General Plan comprises many objectives, policies, principles, programs, standards, proposals and action plans (each, a "Policy," and collectively, the "Policies "), as well as performance standards. The City recognizes that the Policies necessarily compete with each other. The City has considered all applicable General Plan Policies and the extent to which the Project conforms to and potentially competes with each of those Policies. The City has fully evaluated the extent to which the Project achieves each Policy, including those pertaining to compatibility of land use, protection of open space, standards regarding geology, soils and earthquake risks, hazardous materials, flood hazards and drainage, protection of water quality, protection of biological resources, transportation standards and goals, regional and local housing needs, jobs /housing balance, noise, protection air quality, protection of visual resources, standards for public services and utilities, protection of architectural and historic resources, the provision of housing for all sectors of the economic community, and the provision of employment opportunities for residents of the City. The City has also fully considered the Project's compliance with all goals, policies and 2014 -156 objectives in the General Plan, and finds the Project in compliance with the General Plan. 7. The City finds that the balance achieved by the Project among competing General Plan policies is acceptable. Criteria Satisfied. The Project achieves each applicable Policy to some extent, and represents a reasonable accommodation of all applicable competing Policies in the General Plan. The Project promotes the General Plan goals referenced in the CEQA Statement of Overriding Considerations approved by City Council in Resolution No. 2014 -155 on November 25, 2014 concurrently with the City Council's approval of this Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park does hereby adopt the Findings hereinabove; adopt and amend the General Plan Land Use Diagram and approve Application No. PLGP2014 -0006, General Plan Amendments for the Northwest Specific Plan area located south of Millbrae Avenue, west of Dowdell Avenue, north of Business Park Drive, and east of Langner Avenue, as described in the Northwest Specific Plan General Plan Amendments provided at Exhibit A, in its entirety, which is attached hereto and incorporated by this reference.

Approximately 4364 -1,301 net acres would be developed within the UGB, including infill sites. An additional 50 acres would be developed for community fields outside the UGB. The table breaks out acreage by area of the city: areas inside the 1999 City limits and three areas outside the 1999 City limits, the eastside (north of the SSU campus), Canon Manor and southeast (south of the SSU campus), and the westside (west of Dowdell Avenue). Most areas that are planned for new development are residential in use, totaling about 640 acres. Amendments to the General Plan in 2010 have resulted in the designation of certain developed and undeveloped lands from an industrial designation to mixed use and parks /open space. An additional 550 acres outside the UGB and inside the SOI would be used for parks and open space. Figure 2.3 -1 compares land uses in 1999 to those resulting from full buildout of the General Plan. Table 2.3 -1: General Plan Buildout: Net Acreaee of New Development 1. Includes 24 acres in the Wilfred /Dowdell specific plan area. 2. Includes neighborhood parks, linear parks, community fields, and creek corridors. The community fields Capproximately 50 acres), are located inside the Sphere of Influence, but outside the Urban Growth Boundary. 3.

These figures do not include second residential units and reflect anticipated 55% buildout with Sonoma Mountain Village throw h 2020. Source: Dyett &Bhatia (Rev. 084009/14) Table 2.3 -3 summarizes the buildout population and employment under the General Plan. Population and employment are based on estimates of housing units and non - residential building floor area, which are derived from the acreage estimates in Table 2.3 -1. Population is expected to increase at an average annual rate of 1.0 percent between 1999 and 2020. Approximately 10,322 residents will be added to the city, reaching a total buildout population of approximately 51,332. Whereas, jobs are planned to increase at a yearly rate of 1.9 percent under the General Plan, reaching a total buildout of 29,479 jobs. Because jobs will increase at a faster rate than population, the ratio of jobs to employed residents is expected to increase from 1.04 to 1.22. 2 -25 MW� Urban Growth Boundary • • • • • • • Proposed Sphere of Influence b� l� l Figure 2.4 -1 Specific Plan and Planned DevelopmentAreas Revised 09/14 Rohnert Park General Plan LU -17 As part of the project approval process, require development of the non - residential component of the land use program as a condition of residential development, with phasing and intermediate check points to ensure that land uses are balanced at intermediate stages in the development process.

Development Outside of the Current City Limits (but within the Sphere of Influence) Over half of the City's regional share of housing for the planning period is to be provided within the current city limits. However, significant residential growth is planned to occur in areas outside of the current City limits, but within the City's Sphere of Influence (SOI). This is an important point, since only annexation approval is needed from LAFCO, not a SOI amendment; the City had specifically initiated SOI amendments at the time of the adoption of the current General Plan in 1999 (with the updated SOI approved by LAFCO in 2002). There are several specific plans that the City and developers are actively engaged in, that are planned to be annexed and adopted by 2011; all of these specific plans are already a part of the City's adopted General Plan and within the SOI. 2002 Sphere of Influence The City's Sphere of Influence is comprised of the area within the current City limits and five areas outside of it: the Northwest, Northeast, and Southeast specific plans, the 25 -acre Wilfred /Dowdell Specific Plan area (proposed for a commercial center), and the Canon Manor neighborhood. The Canon Manor rural subdivision, an unincorporated area located immediately south of Sonoma State University, was once accessed by graveled roads and supported by individual water wells and septic systems. In the past, the subdivision was plagued by failing sewer systems and contaminated water supplies, however roads have now been paved water and sewer lines have been installed. Potential development of the Canon Manor area as provided for by the General Plan includes ap- proximately 113 Rural Estate Residential infill units and 191 Low Density Residential units south of Alice Drive. Expanded Urban Growth Boundary The Land Use and Growth Management Element of the General Plan provides for potential con- struction of 2,465 dwelling units outside of the City limits (but within the 2002 SOI), distributed among the various specific plan areas as shown in the following figure and Table 9.5 -2.

The Southeast Area also includes about 15 -20 acres of Rural Estate Residential land. A higher floor ratio would be allowed for a mixed -use area if it were to include residential development as part of commercial structures (1.0 as opposed to 0.4) to encourage the development of housing in this area. A total of 475 units are proposed for the Southeast area, 72 of which would be affordable per the City's 15 percent inclusionary housing ordinance. ��►���tt�1�80�-- £�r�(a{1 F�, rz; �; ��kr- Reti�dea��x�• �H���- t= �3Eflf#- ��tansErtkEl�ral�?s '�- 0-- fe•:;i- +ltiaiiy Clte:4gtlal asp i1��1litzFtil�trest Sr 3ctic- 1'ta�irek�}��1r�itil�t3'�ii� Wilfred ed A yentie extension CO :) "�a' l- i•= .•le�iiNiit -1� ID 44 CD •17 .1 ed s •c.ribinT� n-- c- r�- �•�- r- rrr""'c'�+ �zo -- c° -n"zE 3$ 4Ljl13�13et+t4 are the tiltfl'4iiiiHll[i im3aaraloF 0 Hle -We!;' 011d H0141-, atW- bey( -)P - and -that rtsidenF +, -wies: A f4 -000 111:11f4 H]-e Nr be aPaol- 'afile•Per -4he City's 15 per-eent inclusionany housing ordinance. Timing of Development General Plan buildout is envisioned to occur by 2020, at an average growth rate of 225 housing units per year. The actual timing of development will depend on a number of factors, including: ■ Market demand for housing • Preparation and approval of specific plans • Availability of water and wastewater disposal services, and • Annexation approval. AGENCY AND FUNDING RESOURCES Agencies and programs that address housing needs within the City of Rohnert Park are already in place. Community Development Commission State law authorizes local governments to establish one or more redevelopment project areas to eliminate blight, and to expand and improve the supply of low and moderate - income housing. Re- development agencies may use the power of eminent domain to assemble and acquire sites for housing, both within and outside of a project area. They may also issue revenue bonds to finance infrastructure and provide long -term, low- interest loans for construction and rehabilitation. Addi- tionally, funds may be generated by tax increment financing, which captures for a time, all or a portion of the increased tax revenue that results from greater private investment in a project area. 9 -70 Rohnert Park General Plan Table 9.7 -1: Rohnert Park Quantified Objectives (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2014) 9 -122 Income Category Extremely Very Low Low Moderate Above Low (less (between (between (between Moderate than 30% 30 -50% of 50 -80% of 80 -120% of (over 120% ofAMI) AMI) AMI) AMI) of A MI) Total New Construction University District 247 1,398 1,645 Creekwood Apartments 14 82 96 Old City Hall Site 55 0 55 Vida Nueva 24 0 24 City Center (mixed use) 15 85 100 Southwest Shopping 15 Center 85 100 Southeast Area SP 71 404 475 Northeast Area SP 164 926 1,090 +thwest Area SP 44552 7-65331 4NM Stadium Area SP 53 305 358 Sonoma Mountain 452 Village 1.440 1,892 T tal 4 31.168 9—,S S 114 6,46476.350 Rehabilitation Owner - Occupied Housing Rehab Program 6 7 18 2 0 33 Rebuilding Together 61 66 0 0 0 127 Total 67 73 18 2 0 160 Conservation /Preservation 0 0 0 0 0 0 Grand Total (New Construction, Rehab, at d Conservation/ 111i eservativn) 44, - 741.326 X25,116 7� 10 R INA 2007 -2014 6US31 95287Q 4 541.433 S41rce.
