WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, using their independent judgment, reviewed the

staff report, public testimony, and all evidence presented both orally and in writing; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of
Rohnert Park, California, hereby makes the following findings:
A. The Planning Commission, at a public hearing on January 11, 2018, reviewed the
applicant's request for a one-year extension of the approvals of the Site Plan and
Architectural Review and Sign Program for the Project, and all evidence in the
record related to the Project including the staff report, public testimony, and all
evidence presented both orally and in writing.
B. The Planning Commission finds that a one-year extension of the approvals of the
Site Plan and Architectural Review and Sign Program for the Project is consistent
with the approved plans for the Walmart expansion and with the Rohnert Park
Municipal Code Sections 17.25.035 B. and 17.27.030 H. 1.
C. The Planning Commission finds that a one-year extension of the approvals of the
Site Plan and Architectural Review and Sign Program does not necessitate further
environmental review of the Project under CEQA, because the City Council has
certified a Final Environmental Impact Report and Partially Recirculated Final
Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 2009052008) for the Project.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission
does hereby approve the applicant's request for a one-year extension of the approvals of the Site
Plan and Architectural Review and Sign Program for the Walmart Store expansion located at 4625
Redwood Drive (APN 045-055-004) subject to the following conditions:
The applicant shall comply with all applicable sections of the City of Rohnert Park
Municipal Code.
