Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct.
Section 2. Factors considered. The Planning Commission, in approving Planning
Application No. PLUP16-0001 makes the following factors, to wit:
.4. That the proposed location of the conditional use is consistent with the objectives of the
zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located.
Criteria Satisfied. The addition of a microbrewery and restaurant with outdoor seating
will be an attractive addition to the existing building and site and will provide a lively and
active use at a prominent location in Rohnert Park. The restaurant and microbrewery will
be compatible with other restaurants in the immediate area and is the type of use
contemplated for the district. The Regional Commercial District is intended to allow
operations that provide goods and services that serve the community and outlying areas,
and a restaurant and microbrewery are examples of such uses.
B. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it
would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity, and that the
operation and maintenance of the conditional use will be compatible with the
surrounding uses.
Criteria Satisfied. The use will not be open for excessive or abnormally late hours and
public health, safety, and welfare will be preserved by the improvements proposed to the
front sidewalk and patio area. There are not anticipated conflicts predicted to arise from
the operation of a microbrewery or restaurant with patio space in this location. Public
Safety has reviewed the planning application. Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) is
concurrently reviewing this proposal in order for the applicant to secure and maintain a
Type 75 Small Brewery License.
C. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this
title.
Criteria Satisfied. The proposal has been reviewed for compliance with all applicable
provisions of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code including Section 17.06.060 Regional
Commercial District Permitted Uses, Section 17.07.020.5 Outdoor and Sidewalk Cafe,
Section 17.16.030 Off Street Parking Specific Requirements, and microbreweries.

requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA Class 1 Section 15301 reuse of
an existing building.
