NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT
PARK DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct.
Section 2. Findings. The City Council, in approving Planning Application PL2001-
035GP /RZ /SR/UP (General Plan Amendment) makes the following findings; to wit:
General Plan Amendment PL2001 -035GP
1. That the proposed site is appropriate for development under the General Plan Land Use
Designation of Regional Commercial. The proposed Costco project would further the City's
goal of seeing commercial development at this underutilized location. It is situated behind
1
commercial developments along Redwood Drive and would be a logical extension of this
pattern of development.
2. That the proposed General Plan Amendment would be consistent with specific policies in the
Land Use Element of the General Plan relating to regional commercial development. The
Land Use Element of the City's General Plan directs that the Regional Commercial
designation provide for big -box stores that attract consumers from outside the City.
Development of this project would be consistent with this direction.
3. That a duly noticed public hearing has been held to receive and consider public testimony
regarding the proposed amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map. Duly noticed public
hearings regarding this General Plan Amendment were held by the Planning Commission on
July 12, 2001, and by the City Council on July 24, 2001.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council does hereby approve
Application No. PL2001- 035GP /RZ /SR/UP: General Plan Amendment for 14.45 acres located
on the northerly side of the Martin Avenue Extension, west of Redwood Drive (APN 143 -040-
093, -095, and -098) from Industrial and Public /Institutional to Regional Commercial, as
depicted on the map attached hereto as (Exhibit "A ") and by reference thereto incorporated
herein.
