Overcrossing, Highway 101, and Commerce Boulevard and Avram Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the existing sewer mains under Claussen Overcrossing, Highway 101, and
Commerce Boulevard and Avram Avenue will need to be rehabilitated; and
WHEREAS, the nature of the project is to rehabilitate existing infrastructure by inserting
cast in place pipe into the existing sewer main in a manner that minimizes surface disruption and
does not increase the capacity or footprint of the existing sewer; and
WHEREAS, the plans and specifications for the Claussen Overcrossing and Highway
101 Sewer Main Investigation and Rehabilitation (Project No. 2015-10) were designed by GHD,
Inc. and approved by the City Engineer; and
WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provides an exemption
for repair and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure and an analysis has been prepared that
documents the applicability of this exemption.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Rohnert
Park as follows:
1. The above recitals are true and correct and material to this Resolution.
2. In making its findings, the City Council relied upon and hereby incorporates by
reference the staff reports, presentations, analyses and all other related materials.
3. Project No. 2015-10 is exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Section
15301, for the repair and rehabilitation of existing facilities, because the project
involves no expansion of an existing sewer main, as is more particularly described
in the exemption analysis dated February 29, 2016.
4. The plans and specifications for the Claussen Overcrossing and Highway 101
Sewer Main Investigation and Rehabilitation (Project No. 2015-10) are hereby
