Ord. 897
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Rohnert
Park makes the following findings, determinations and recommendations with respect to the
proposed map and zoning ordinance amendments;
Section 1. The above recitations are true and correct.
Section 2. The City Council approved the Final EIR for this Plan, as described in
City Council Resolution No. 2016-027 approved on March 22, 2016 concurrently with the City
Council first reading of this Ordinance.
Section 3. Findings for Enactment of Amendments to Zoning Map and Zoning
Ordinance. The City Council hereby makes the following findings concerning amendments to
the Zoning Map and Chapters 17.06 (Land Use Regulations), 17.07 (Land Use Footnotes/Special
Provisions) and 17.10 (Development Standards) of the Zoning Ordinance:
1. That the proposed amendments to the Zoning Map and Zoning Ordinance are
consistent with the General Plan 2020.
Criteria Satisfied. The proposed amendments are consistent with General Plan 2020
as amended by Resolution 2016 which will be adopted prior along with these
proposed amendments. The PDA Plan adheres to numerous existing general plan goals and
policies for housing diversity, infrastructure, transportation improvement, funding of
infrastructure and services, open space, walkable site planning with bicycle and pedestrian
trails, and accessibility to parks. The general plan amendments amend general plan land
use diagrams which are consistent with the proposed zoning map changes and with
the Central Rohnert Park, Priority Development Area plan. The general plan
amendments also add goals and policies to General Plan 2020 which are supportive of
the zoning ordinance text amendments, these include:
1. Adding a Downtown District Amenity Zone (DDAZ) to create new
development standards within the designated DDAZ boundary.
2. Adding a Station Center Planned Development (SCPD) to rezone the State
Farm site from its previous "Office" designation and allow for a mix of land
use appropriate adjacent to the new SMART train platform.
3. Rezoning certain "Mixed -Use" designations on the zoning map to
"Downtown Mixed -Use" and amending the zoning ordinance to encourage
more commercial development within a walkable downtown environment.
4. Rezoning certain "High Density Residential" designations on the zoning map
to "Downtown High Density Residential" to allow for up to 30 dwelling units
per acre and amending the zoning text accordingly.
5. Amending the 17.06 to add development standards for the new Regional
Commercial Overlay, DDAZ and SCPD zone.
6. Amending 17.07 (Land Use Footnotes/Special Provisions) to require
standards for residential development within the Downtown Mixed Use
designation.
Ord. 897
7. Amending 17.10 (Development Standards) to add standards for the DTR -H
and DRM-U zoning districts.
8. Amending 17.16 (Parking) to reduce parking standing within the PDA plan
area.
The zoning ordinance text amendments and general plan amendments work in conjunction
with the Plan to enhance the policy framework for the PDA area and to implement the
vision for a walkable downtown environment.
2. That the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance will be beneficial to the
public health, safety or welfare.
Criteria Satisfied. The proposed amendments will implement the vision for a
walkable, mixed-use downtown area established by Central Rohnert Park, Priority
Development Area plan and will be beneficial to the public health, safety and welfare
by creating more development activity, living and shopping opportunities in the
central part of Rohnert Park. An EIR was reviewed and certified for this project to
demonstrate that the Plan's impacts on the public health, safety or welfare have been
analyzed and minimized.
Section 4. Severability. The City Council hereby declares that every section,
paragraph, sentence, clause, and phrase of this ordinance is severable. If any section, ,paragraph,
sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance 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.
Section 6. Publication. The City Clerk is directed to cause this ordinance to be
published in the manner required by law.

Article I. - Residential Zoning Districts
17.06.010 - Purpose.
The residential districts are intended to achieve the following purposes:
A. Reserve residential areas for a broad range of dwelling types and densities, which meet the diverse
economic and social needs of the residents consistent with sound standards of public health and
safety.
B. Ensure the provision of light, air, privacy, and open space.
C. Protect residential neighborhoods from excessive noise, illumination, unsightliness, odors, dust,
dirt, smoke, vibration, heat, glare, and other objectionable influences.
D. Minimize congestion and avoid the overloading of public services and utilities. (Ord. 695 § 3, 2003)
(Ord. No. 854, § 2(Exh. A), 7-9-2013)
17.06.020 - Districts.
A. R -R: Rural Residential. This district is intended for very low-density residential development on
large lots of typically forty thousand sq. ft. or more that convey a "rural" or agricultural character.
These districts are located at the perimeter of the city and provide a transition from the more
urban development to the open space/agricultural areas outside of the city. This district is
consistent with the "Estate Residential" general plan designation.
B. R -E: Estate Residential. This district is intended for very low-density residential development on
large estate size lots of typically seventeen thousand sq. ft. or more. This district also is located at
the perimeter of the city to provide a transition from the more urban development to the open
space/agricultural areas outside the city. This district is consistent with the "Estate Residential"
general plan designation.
C. R -L: Residential -Low Density. This district is comprised of four sub -districts: R -L-5,000, R -L-6,000, R-
L -8,000, and R -L-10,000 (Note: numbers represent minimum lot size). These sub -districts are
intended to promote the development of single-family detached dwellings in a suburban setting
with a variety of minimum lot sizes. This district is consistent with the "Low Density" general plan
designation. The floor area ratio for this district is 0.40.
D. R -M: Residential -Medium Density. This district is intended for attached and detached single-family
housing and duplexes as part of a planned residential development with a minimum lot size of
three thousand seven hundred sq. ft. Multi -family housing is not permitted. Side-by-side duplexes
not separated by a property line or without individual heating systems are permitted. This district is
consistent with the "Medium Density" general plan designation. The floor area ratio for this district
is 0.55.
Page 1
E. R -H: Residential -High Density. This district is comprised of two sub -districts: R -H-2,000 and R -H-
1,800 (Note: numbers represent minimum lot area per unit). These subdistricts are intended to
permit a wide range of housing types, ranging from single-family attached to multi -family, and are
intended for specific areas where higher densities may be appropriate. This district is consistent
with the "High Density" general plan designation. The floor area ratio for this district is 1.15. (Ord.
695 § 3, 2003)
F. DTR -H: Downtown Residential -High Density. This district is located within the Central Rohnert Park
PDA planning area as identified in the general plan and is intended to allow for residential
development proximate to the downtown area. This district is consistent with the "High Density"
general plan designation. Unless otherwise specified, all special provisions, development standards
and other requirements and limitations shall be the same as the R -H district.

Article III. - Industrial Zoning Districts [No proposed changes to sections 17.06.080 through 17.06.100]
Article IV. - Mixed -Use Zoning Districts
17.06.110 - Purpose.
The Mixed Use District and the Downtown Mixed Use District encourage the siting of compatible
businesses, stores, institutions, service organizations, and residences in close proximity to one another
so as to create self-sufficient neighborhoods within the city. The district promotes such neighborhood
development in order to minimize reliance on the automobile, resulting in a reduction in vehicle miles
traveled and traffic congestion. These districts are intended to create pedestrian -oriented environments
that provide access to residents' basic everyday requirements, foster an active street life, enhance the
vitality of local businesses, and provide employment opportunities close to home for residents of the
city. The preferred pattern of development will be ground floor commercial uses, with residential and/or
office uses located on the upper floor(s). Special urban design amenities (pedestrian facilities,
landscaping, public spaces, etc.) would be included in the district to create recognizable, pedestrian
friendly activity centers. On-site parking would be provided for residential uses and parking for
businesses would generally be on -street and in parking garages or off-site parking lots. Convenient
vehicular and pedestrian/bicycle access from surrounding neighborhoods and transit service would also
be components of this district. (Ord. 695 § 3, 2003)
(Ord. No. 854, § 2(Exh. A), 7-9-2013)
17.06.120 — District Descriptions.
M -U: Mixed Use District. This district allows for the development of integrated centers that
combine a supportive mix of land uses, either within the same building or in clusters of buildings. This
district is consistent with the "Mixed Use" general plan designation. The floor area ratio for this district
is 1.5 for non-residential projects, and 2.0 for mixed residential/residential projects. (Ord. 695 § 3, 2003)
DTM-U: Downtown Mixed Use District. This district allows for the development of integrated
centers that combine a supportive mix of land uses, either within the same building or in clusters of
buildings. This district is consistent with the "Downtown Mixed Use" general plan designation. The floor
area ratio for this district is 1.5 for non-residential projects, and 2.0 for mixed residential/residential
projects. Non-residential development is required within this designation and residential development is
only permitted as part of a mixed use project.

Page 11
The Planned Development Zoning District is intended to 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. P -D zoning districts shall encourage the use of
flexible development standards designed to appropriately integrate a project into its natural and/or
man-made setting and shall typically be intended for projects that provide for a mix of land uses to serve
identified community needs. Furthermore, the P -D zoning process may be used to implement the
various specific plans adopted by the city. Once established, the P -D zoning district becomes, in effect
the zoning for the area within its respective boundaries.
(Ord. 695 § 3, 2003)
17.06.210 - General provisions.
A. P -D zoning districts with commercial and/or industrial components may be established on a parcel
or parcels of land having a contiguous area of at least three acres or, if in a M -U District, at least
one and one-half acres. P -D zoning districts for residential developments may be established on a
parcel or parcels of land having a contiguous area of at least one acre. Within a specific plan area, a
P -D zoning district may be designated for properties totaling less than three acres in size, provided
the district is consistent with the specific plan.
B. Each P -D zoning district shall include specific development standards designed for that particular
district, including minimum lot sizes, setbacks and open space requirements, architectural and
landscaping guidelines, and maximum building heights and lot coverage. In establishing these
standards, the requirements for existing zoning and P -D zoning districts may be reviewed and
modifications to these standards may be made as appropriate. Varying residential densities may be
established for specific areas within each district. Once approved, as part of a final development
plan (see Section 17.06.250), all standards, densities, and other requirements shall remain tied to
that plan and to the property designated by that district, unless formally amended by city council
action (see Section 17.06.280.) If no specific standards are proposed for any or all portions of a P -D
district, the applicable general standards of the zoning ordinance shall apply.
C. A P -D zoning district may include a combination of residential, industrial, and commercial uses
within either the same or adjacent buildings within the district, so long as such mixed uses are
consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan. Industrial, commercial and
residential components within the same P -D districts shall share a similar or compatible
architectural theme and maximize pedestrian access between the two.
D. In situations where a subdivision of land (e.g. a tentative map) is undertaken in conjunction with
the establishment or implementation of a P -D zoning district, such subdivisions shall be processed
concurrently.
(Ord. 695 § 3, 2003)
17.06.220 - Uses permitted.
Any and all uses otherwise permitted in the city of Rohnert Park may be included in a P -D zoning
district, provided such uses are permitted or conditionally -permitted by the zoning ordinance and are
shown on the approved final development plan for that district.
Page 12
(Ord. 695 § 3, 2003)
17.06.230 - Relationship to existing general and specific plans.
All standards, requirements, densities, land use designations and other contents of an approved
final development plan shall be consistent with the city's general plan and any applicable specific plan.
(Ord. 695 § 3, 2003)
17.06.240 - Application.
Application for a P -D zoning district shall be made by a person, or the authorized agent of a person,
having a legal or equitable interest in the affected property. In addition to the required application
submittal forms available from the planning department and specified supporting materials including
the fee pre scribed by the city council, the following shall also be required for all requests to establish a
P -D zoning district and shall be submitted at the preliminary development plan and final development
plan stages, as outlined in Section 17.06.250:
A. A listing of the development standards proposed for the P -D zoning district (e.g., setbacks, lot
sizes, building heights);
B. A listing of the uses that will be permitted and/or conditionally -permitted in the P -D zoning
district;
C. A phasing plan indicating the approximate date when construction of the first development
phase of the P -D zoning district is scheduled to begin and tentative completion dates for the
remaining phases.
(Ord. 695 § 3, 2003)
17.06.250 - Procedure.
A. Preliminary Development Plan. In establishing a P -D district, a preliminary development plan shall
be prepared for the proposed P -D zoning district.
1. Parks and Recreation Commission Recommendation. The preliminary development plan shall
be submitted to the parks and recreation commission for a recommendation with regards to
any proposed parkland dedication. The recommendation of the parks and recreation
commission to the planning commission shall be based upon the criteria listed in Section
16.14.020(K)(1)(a) of this code.
2. Planning Commission Approval. The planning commission will hold a public hearing to consider
the preliminary development plan, the recommendation of the parks and recreation
commission with regard to any dedicated parkland, and whether the land uses proposed and
their interrelationships are generally acceptable and consistent with the general plan and any
applicable specific plan. The commission shall indicate conceptual approval or disapproval of
the preliminary development plan. Such conceptual approval shall not bind the planning
commission to approval of the final development plan, which shall be subject to
environmental analysis and public hearings.
Page 13
B. Final Development Plan. Once a preliminary development plan has been approved by the planning
commission, a final development plan to rezone the property to P -D district may be submitted to
the city. If subdivision within the district is necessary, then a tentative map may also be applied for
at this time.
Parks and Recreation Commission Review. If any changes to dedicated parkland have been
proposed since preliminary development plan approval, staff will schedule a public hearing
before the parks and recreation commission after receipt of a complete application. The
recommendation of the parks and recreation commission to the planning commission shall be
based upon the criteria listed in Section 16.14.020(K)(1)(a) of this code.
Planning Commission Approval. Following appropriate environmental review of the plan, the
planning commission shall consider the application for a final development plan at a public
hearing. After the hearing, the planning commission shall forward any new recommendation
of the parks and recreation commission with regard to any dedicated parkland. The planning
commission will also make a recommendation to the city council based on a review of the
environmental impacts of the plan, the appropriateness and interrelationships of the proposed
uses, any effects on traffic circulation due to development of the plan, the quality of the
suggested site plan design, consistency with the general plan and any applicable specific plan,
and other details of the proposed district. A favorable recommendation must include the
findings listed in this title for a final development plan (see Section 17.06.260).
3. City Council Approval. At the city council's public hearing, it may approve or deny the final
development plan or return the matter to the planning commission for further evaluation. If
the application for a final development plan is approved, the property shall be rezoned as a P-
D zoning district and so indicated on the zoning map for the city.
C. A use permit shall be required prior to the construction of any phase of an approved P -D zoning
district. A use permit for any or all phases of the development may be processed concurrently with
the final development plan. It is the intent of the use permit to further clarify the details of the
development phase being considered and to ensure that each component complies with the
established provisions of the district. The use permit is intended to refine the final development
plan and implement the conditions of approval attached to the final development plan. Use permit
approval shall be required prior to final map recordation for all projects within a P -D zoning district.
The planning commission may grant a use permit, provided that the proposed development phase
is in substantial conformance with any approved final development plan for that property and the
conditions thereof. In approving a use permit for a phase of the P -D zoning district the planning
commission may add conditions of approval, which are consistent with the intent and provisions of an
approved P -D zoning district and help to implement that district. For P -D zoning districts containing
commercial and/or industrial components, a Master Use Permit may be approved which will generally
or specifically describe those tenants that may utilize those components.
(Ord. 787 § 4, 2007; Ord. 695 § 3, 2003)
17.06.260 - Findings.
The planning commission shall recommend approval of a final development plan to the city council,
provided the planning commission finds the following:
Page 14
A. Each individual component of the development can exist as an independent unit capable of
creating an environment of sustained desirability and stability, and the uses proposed will not
be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses but instead will have a beneficial
effect which could not be achieved under another zoning district;
B. The streets and thoroughfares proposed meet the standards of the city and adequate
infrastructure can be supplied to all phases of the development;
C. Any commercial component complements other uses in the development;
D. Any residential component will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding
neighborhood and community and will result in densities within the P -D district that are no

Article XI. — Commercial Overlay District
17.06.620 - Purpose.
The Commercial Overlay District is intended to permit additional commercial development with
existing industrial areas which are proximate to Highway 101, such as the Commerce Boulevard. The
district would ensure that there are locations for new commercial users within such areas and would
allow for their timely approval as principally -permitted uses, while continuing to allow for uses that are
more industrial in nature.
17.06.630 - Overlay districts.
A Commercial Overlay District may be combined with an Industrial Zoning District by a change of
district to include the overlay in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 17.25.070 of this title. A
Commercial Overlay District shall be designated by the letter "C" following the industrial district
designation.
17.06.640 - Permitted uses.
In addition to the uses allowed in the underlying zoning district, the following is a list of permitted
land uses within the commercial overlay designation. Permitted as follows:
P = permitted
C = conditionally -permitted by planning commission
A = administrative permit
Z = certificate of zoning compliance
T = temporary conditional permit
I = uses allowed as incidental to a primary use
Uses involving chemicals may also be subject to requirements regarding hazardous materials
(footnote 11), in which case more restrictive requirements shall apply. Land uses that are not specifically
listed are not permitted unless determined, by the planning and community development director, to be
Page 16
substantially similar to a listed use. If the listed land use is followed by a number or a section reference
in parenthesis, that number or reference directs the reader to the corresponding land use footnote or
special provision which follow this chapter.
