The original master plan envisioned 8 neighborhoods, a school and a 5 -acre park. Development began shortly thereafter, and in 1962, Rohnert Park became a city with 2,775 residents and 903 homes. For a short time, Sonoma State University was located in the city limits before moving just outside the City to their current location. However, the presence of the University and other Bay Area development trend resulted in a boom in population and growth through the 1980's. As the community's supply of developable land began to dwindle, the City turned its attention to the revitalization of older parts of the community. In response to the desire to ensure the sustainability of existing neighborhoods and commercial areas and curb urban sprawl, the City Council established the 1,711 -acre Rohnert Park Redevelopment Project Area by Ordinance No. 479 on July 14,1987. Five Year Implementation Plan 2004-05 through 2008-09 Long-term revitalization activities are guided by the 40 -year Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area. Redevelopment projects in the project area have included improvements to public facilities and infrastructure, renovation and construction of affordable housing, and partnerships with private industry to create jobs and expand the local economy. This implementation plan focuses on specific redevelopment goals and programs sought for the next five years. Notable Timeframes What is There? Who is There?

The City held ownership of a 10 -acre site for the future development of a local hospital. When it determined that neighboring communities had an excess of hospital beds in existing facilities, the City considered a partnership with the private sector for the development of alternative health care related facilities. After much searching for just the right thing, the City entered into an agreement with Kisco for the development of a 207 unit full-service affordable senior housing development which is based on wellness principles and strategies to strengthen and enhance the mind, body and spirit. Offering services, classes and facilities to promote and develop personal health habits based on six dimensions of wellness: emotional, intellectual, physical, spiritual, social and vocational. Golf Courses. The City owns two golf courses which comprise nearly 280 acres which are operated under a lease agreement with American Gold Corporation. These golf courses provide open green space at numerous street locations and for the back yards of almost 500 homes. In 2002, redevelopment provided $1.5 million dollars toward substantial upgrades to the courses including water detention ponds to relieve storm drain issues, added water features, improvements to the clubhouse and driving range and other new features in order to increase the usage of the facilities and to improve the open green space and public facilities. Rohnert Park Library. In the late 90's the community began expressing a desire for a new library facility to replace the existing smaller library. In 1999, the Community Development Commission issued bonds and contributed approximately $7 million dollars toward the development of a community library facility. The Arbors.

Redevelopment agencies use implementation plans to establish ten year objectives to achieve . compliance with State law in its affordable housing programs. These housing goals generally fall into three categories: • Housing Production — based on the number of housing units constructed or substantially rehabilitated over a ten year period, a redevelopment agency is to ensure that a percentage of these units are affordable to low and moderate income households. • Replacement Housing — another legal obligation for redevelopment agencies .to ensure that any housing units destroyed or removed as a result of an agency redevelopment project are replaced within four years. • Expenditures by Household Types specific requirements on the amount of housing set-aside funds an agency must spend over a ten year period on housing affordable to very low income households, low income households, and housing for residents under the age of 65. The housing program goals are described below. Housing Production To estimate the number of housing units that need to be affordable to low and moderate income households, the CDC estimated the total number units to be constructed or substantial rehabilitated in the Project Area and applied formulas established in State law. - The chart below summarizes the production goals over various time periods as required by Redevelopment Law. The number of affordable units required is based on statutory thresholds, and the CDC is responsible for ensuring that the appropriate number of affordable units is created during a ten year period.

Also includes restricted units constructed during this timeframe as follows: Arbors — 55 units (22 very low and 33 low); Centerville — 12 units (6 low and 6 moderate); Redwood Creek- 35 units (all low income); and Marchesiello —.7 units 4 moderate, 2 low and 1 very low As shown in the above table, the Project Area is projected to have a surplus of 155 affordable units, including 55 very low income units. This surplus could vary depending on the actual level of construction or substantial rehabilitation in the Project Area over the ten year forecast period. Any surplus units for this planning period may be applied to meet needs over the duration of the Redevelopment Plan. As described earlier in this Implementation Plan, the CDC anticipates development of affordable housing projects in the Project Area over the next 10 years which will put the CDC Page 19 ROHNERT PARK REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA Five Year Implementation Plan 2004-05 through 2008-09 in a good position to achieve its affordable housing production goals over the life of the Redevelopment Plan. Fulfillment of the projected housing needs is specifically anticipated to be accomplished through the completion of the following programs: • Vida Nueva. Provided the site is developed, the CDC anticipates the development of 24 very low income units at this location. • City Hall Reuse. Upon the abandonment of the current City Hall, the CDC may pursue development of a 24 unit affordable housing project. Over the next five years, the aforementioned housing projects could yield a total of 48 affordable units, including 36 very low income units. Other potential sites which would allow for possible infill residential units include the Downtown area, the Southwest Boulevard area (including the Southwest Public Safety Station), the Commerce Boulevard area, and the Sonoma Mountain Village area (former Agilent Site). Replacement Housing During the Implementation Plan period, the CDC does not anticipate that any CDC -assisted projects will result in the displacement or removal of housing units. Consequently, the CDC does not anticipate that any housing will need to be replaced at this time. Expenditures by Household Types Asof July 1, 2005, the CDC's low and moderate income housing fund had a balance of $3,001,5392 available. Over the five year period ending on June 30, 2009, staff conservatively estimates that the Project Area will generate approximately $12,000,0003 in 20 percent housing set-aside revenue. Additionally, in April of 2006, the CDC issued $26,760,000 in Housing Tax Allocation bonds which will provide for $25,901,072.11 in proceeds to be utilized to implement the Housing projects and programs identified in the CDC Five -Year Implementation Plan. Effective January 2002, expenditure of housing set-aside revenues is subject to certain legal requirements. At a minimum, the CDC's low and moderate income housing set-aside revenue is to be expended in proportion to the community's need for very low and low income housing, as well as the proportion of the population under the age of 65. Based on statistics from the Regional Housing Needs Assessment, used by local government to meet state requirement for affordable housing by category, and 2000 Census statistics, the following minimum thresholds for housing program expenditures would be required over the term of the Implementation Plan. z Source: 2004-05 Annual Report to State Department of Housing and Community Development, Unencumbered Balance 3 Source: RSG Page 20 ROHNERT PARK REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA Five Year Implementation Plan 2004-05 through 2008-09 Household Type Minimum Percentage of 2001-02 Housing Set -Aside 2003-04 Expenditures over 2005-06 Implementation Plan Very Low Income Households 31.5% Low Income Households 21.9% HouseholdsUnder Age 65 91.9% Notes: Percentage of very low and low income household_ expenditures based upon City of Rohnert Park Regional Housing Needs Assessment in which 276 (31.5 percent) of the 876 affordable units in the City's housing needs are applicable for very low-income households and 192 units (21.9 percent) are applicable for low income households.
