Factors Considered. The Planning Commission, in approving Planning Application No. PLSR16-0002, makes the following findings, to wit: A. That the developments general appearance is compatible with existing development and enhances the surrounding neighborhood. Criteria Satisfied The building design will be consistent with other structures in the immediate area including the existing Ashley Furniture, the planned Westside Public Safety Station (the colors of which directly compliment the Fairfield Hotel colors), the newly approved Cambria Hotel, and the remainder of the planned Five Creek project. The appearance of the hotel is also complimentary to the recently completed nearby Fiori Estates apartment complex. The hotel will be an attractive addition to the west side of town. Special care has been taken to ensure that all buildings within the adjacent Stadium Area Master Plan have a consistent architectural character, and while the Fairfield Inn is not within the SAMP, but merely adjacent to it, the design for the hotel has been carefully articulated so as to compliment this emerging area of the city. Architecture, landscaping choices, lighting elements, and overall site design components give the hotel and the emerging neighborhood around it a consistent look and feel that enhances what already exists. B. That the development incorporates a variation from adjacent on-site and off-site structures in height, bulk, and area; arrangement on the parcel; openings or breaks in the fagade facing the street; and/or the line and pitch of the roof. Criteria Satisfied. The new building has an attractive appearance with a variety of materials including stone, stucco in various tones, and faux wood cement board. There is articulation in the building walls including setback and variations in the roof height. The porte-cochere provides an inviting entrance to the building and further enhances its attractiveness with variation in bulk and fagade depth. A pool the rear of the hotel with an attractive metal fence. Attractive lighting and signage further enhances the visual quality of the structure. The rear of the hotel will provide an attractive frontage with lighting for the Hinebaugh Creek trail. While the hotel is set back from the planned Martin Avenue extension, landscaping, the height of the building, and the porte-cochere will insure the building maintains a visually attractive presence in this area of the city. C That the development will be located and oriented in such a manner so as to provide pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular connections with adjacent properties, as appropriate, and avoids indiscriminate location and orientation. Criteria Satisfied. Vehicular access to the property is from Martin Avenue, at the Dowdell Avenue intersection. There is vehicular access to Rohnert Park Expressway and Highway 101. There are bike lanes on Dowdell Avenue and access to the Hinebaugh Creek trail. There is bicycle access to the building from a trail along Hinebaugh Creek and from Rohnert Park Expressway via Redwood Drive. Pedestrian sidewalks will connect the hotel to adjacent developments including the Five Creek project and the public sidewalk system. Bicycle parking and EV charging will be provided onsite. The trail system will provide access to SMART. Sonoma County Transit runs busses in close proximity to the hotel site. Section 3. Environmental Clearance. A Mitigate Negative Declaration was prepared for the hotel project in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

A110 State of California — The Natural Resources Agency EDMUND G. BROWN JR., Governor DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE CHARLTON H. BONHAM, Director Bay Delta Region 7329 Silverado Trail / Napa, CA 94558 (707) 944-5500 www.wildlife.ca.gov September 8, 2017 Mr. Jeffrey Beiswenger Planning Manager City of Rohnert Park 130 Avram Avenue Rohnert,Park, CA 94928 Dear Mr. Beiswenger: Subject: Fairfield Inn and Suites, Mitigated Negative Declaration, SCH# 2017082034, City of Rohnert Park, Sonoma County The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) received a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) from the City of Rohnert Park for the Fairfield Inn and Suites (Project) pursuant the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). CDFW is submitting comments on the draft MND as a means to inform the City of Rohnert Park (City) as the Lead Agency, of our concerns regarding potentially significant impacts to sensitive resources associated with the proposed Project. CDFW ROLE CDFW is a Trustee Agency with responsibility under CEQA (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15386 and for commenting on projects that could impact fish, plant and wildlife resources. CDFW is also considered a Responsible Agency if a project would require discretionary approval, such as a California Endangered Species Act (CESA) or Native Plant Protection Act permit, a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement, or other provisions of the Fish and Game Code that afford protection to the State's fish and wildlife trust resources. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS California Endangered Species Act: Please be advised that a CESA permit must be obtained if the project has the potential to result in "take" of plants or animals listed under CESA, either during construction or over the life of the project. Issuance of a CESA permit is subject to CEQA documentation; the CEQA document must specify impacts, mitigation measures, and a mitigation monitoring and reporting program. If the Project will impact CESA listed species, early consultation is encouraged, as significant modification to the Project and mitigation measures may be required in order to obtain a CESA Permit. CEQA requires a Mandatory Finding of Significance if a project is likely to substantially restrict the range or reduce the population of a threatened or endangered species. (Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21001, subd. (c), 21083; CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15380, 15064, and 15065). Impacts must be avoided or mitigated to less -than -significant levels unless the CEQA Lead Agency Conserving Caffornia's Wifdffe Since 1870 Mr. Jeffrey Beiswenger September 8, 2017 Page 2 makes and supports f=indings of Overriding Consideration (FOC). The CEQA Lead Agency's FOC does not eliminate the Project proponent's obligation to comply with Fish and Game Code section 2080. PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY Proponent: Rohnert Park Lodging, LLC Objective: Construct a five story, 100 -room hotel and 105 parking spaces on a vacant, 1.83 -acre parcel Location: 405 Martin Avenue, Rohnert Park, Sonoma County, GPS coordinates 38.351083, -122.719778. The project is situated in upland, disturbed non-native grassland habitat adjacent Hinebaugh Creek. Timeframe: Approximately 10 months upon Project approval COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS CDFW offers the below comments and recommendations to assist the City of Rohnert Park in adequately identifying and/or mitigating the Project's significant, or potentially significant, direct and indirect impacts on fish and wildlife (biological) resources. Based on the Project's avoidance of significant impacts on biological resources, in part through implementation of CDFW's recommendations, CDFW concludes that an MND is appropriate for the Project. Environmental Setting MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Does the Project have the potential to threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, or substantially reduce the number or restrict range of a rare or endangered plant or animal? Comment 1: Section 2.4, Page 30 and Appendix B California Tiger Salamander Habitat Assessment Issue: The MND does not adequately support its conclusion that the Project would result in no impacts to California tiger salamander (CTS; Ambystoma callforniense). The MND relies on the Appendix B California Tiger Salamander Habitat Assessment (assessment), which does not include the below considerations. CTS Occurrence Record Overlaps Protect Area: A CTS adult occurrence record overlaps the Project area on Figure 2 of the Santa Rosa Plains Conservation Strategy (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2005). CTS Could Migrate to Project Area: Hinebaugh Creek provides a potential migration route between the Project area and potential breeding habitat 0.8 miles to the west. Based on a reconnaissance survey by CDFW staff on August 25, 2017, there are no migration barriers between the potential breeding habitat and the project area along Hinebaugh Creek and its adjacent walking path. Refugia for CTS are Present in Proiect Area: CDFW staff observed small mammal burrows and large soil cracks within the project area and the surrounding land that could Mr. Jeffrey Beiswenger September 8, 2017 Page 3 provide refugia. Staff also observed an active small mammal (vole or mouse) on contiguous land just north of the Project area. Specific impact: The Project may result in CTS injury, mortality, and habitat loss. Why impact would occur. The Project could directly affect CTS by crushing, killing, or injuring individuals by vehicles, equipment and workers during construction work, transport of supplies and workers, and on-site storage of construction materials and equipment. CTS could be killed or injured during earth -moving activities such as grading and trenching. CTS could be entombed in burrows or other suitable refugia during excavation, grading, or fill activities, or become trapped in trenches and pipes. CTS could desiccate during dispersal movements due to loss of burrows or other refugia. The proposed building and parking lot may result in the permanent loss of 1.83 acres of CTS upland habitat. The Project as proposed has the potential to result in take of CTS; therefore, CDFW recommends applying for a CESA Incidental Take Permit (ITP) (see proposed Mitigation Measure 1 below). Evidence impact would be significant: The CTS Sonoma County Distinct Population Segment qualifies an endangered and threatened animal under CEQA because it is listed as threatened pursuant to CESA and endangered under federal Endangered Species Act. [CEQA Guidelines, § 15380, subd. (c)(1)]. CTS is endemic to California and numerous populations have been extirpated. Upland habitat destruction from urban and agriculture uses are indicated as a major cause of population decline, which is also attributed to breeding habitat destruction, habitat fragmentation, effects of introduced non-native species, and artificial migration barriers (CDFG 2009). Based on the foregoing, Project impacts would potentially substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of CTS. Therefore, Project impacts to CTS would be potentially significant. Mitigation Measure 1: To reduce impacts to less -than -significant: CDFW recommends that the City of Rohnert Park require a thorough analysis of the potential for CTS within the Project area. If the potential exists, CDFW recommends that the City of Rohnert Park: 1) Revise the MND to identify potentially significant impacts to CTS described above and include avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures, such as: implementing seasonal work restrictions, pre -construction surveys by a qualified biologist, biological monitoring, and permanent protection and perpetual management of compensatory habitat, etc. This revision may require MND recirculation, whereby CDFW may provide additional comments on proposed mitigation measures. [CEQA Guidelines, 15073.5, subd. (b)(1)]. 2) If take of CTS may occur, recommend that the Project proponent apply for a CESA ITP for CTS. CDFW Bay Delta Region staff is available to provide guidance on the ITP application process. Mr. Jeffrey Beiswenger September 8, 2017 Page 4 Comment 2: Appendix B Biological Constraints Report Issue: The MND Appendix B states that foothill yellow -legged frog (FYLF; Rana boylli) is not expected to occur in the Project area due to a lack of suitable habitat, However, the MND does not include the below considerations. FYLF CESA Protection: In July 2017, the Fish and Game determined that FYLF is candidate species under CESA. Candidate species are afforded the same protections as threatened and endangered species (Fish and Game Code section 2085). FYLF Occurrence Records in Vicinity: California Natural Diversity Database 2010 has a recorded occurrence of FYLF in Crane Creek approximately four miles west of the project area. The confluence of Crane creek and Hinebaugh Creek, adjacent to the Project Area, is approximately 1.8 miles east of the Project area and well within the species' mobility range. The species has been documented to travel along streams 4,547 feet per day up to 4.3 miles (Thompson et al. 2016). There is also a recorded occurrence in Copeland Creek approximately two miles southeast of the Project area. FYLF Potential Habitat in Project Area: Hinebaugh Creek and adjacent uplands including the Project area may provide suitable habitat for FYLF. Different life stages of FYLF use a variety of habitat types for development, foraging, and overwintering (Thompson et al. 2016). The species is most common along streams with rocky bottoms but has been found along streams with mud bottoms (Stebbins 1951). They have also been found in streams lacking a cobble or larger -sized substrate grain (Jennings and Hayes 1994). FYLF utilizes upland habitats adjacent to streams and have been observed 164 feet away from streams under rocks or other refugia (Nussbaum et al. 1983; Thompson et al. 2016; Zweifel 1955). Little information about FYLF terrestrial movements is known and the species may travel farther from streams. Specific impact: The Project may result in FYLF injury, mortality, and habitat loss. Why impact would occur: If FYLF is within or near the Project site, the Project may directly affect FYLF by crushing, killing, or injuring individuals by vehicles, equipment and workers during construction work, transport of supplies and workers, and onsite storage of construction materials and equipment. FYLF could be killed or injured during earth -moving activities such as grading and trenching, or become trapped in trenches and pipes. FYLF could desiccate during terrestrial movements due to loss of refugia such as rocks, logs, or vegetative cover. The proposed building and parking lot may result in the permanent loss of up to 1.83 acres of upland habitat. The Project has the potential to result in take of FYLF; therefore, a CESA. ITP from CDFW may be warranted (see proposed Mitigation Measure 2 below). Evidence impact would be significant. FYLF is listed as a candidate species and candidate species are afforded the same protections as threatened and endangered species (Fish and Game Code section 2085). Additionally, FYLF may be considered a rare species under CEQA (CEQA Guidelines, § 15380) because the species is nearly endemic to California and has been extirpated from a large portion of its historical range, and individual population sizes have declined (Thompson et al. 2016). Additionally, Thompson et al. (2016) designated FYLF as a Mr. Jeffrey Beiswenger September 8, 2017 Page 5 Priority 1 species due to the magnitude of threats it is facing. FYLF is also a CESA candidate species. Based on the foregoing, Project impacts may substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of FYLF. Therefore, Project impacts to FYLF would be potentially significant. Mitigation Measure 2: To reduce impacts to less -than -significant: CDFW recommends that the City of Rohnert Park require a thorough analysis of the potential for FYLF to utilize Hinebaugh Creek and the Project area, and strongly consider surveys for the species. If the potential exists, CDFW recommends that the City of Rohnert Park: 1) Revise the MND to identify the potentially significant impacts to FYLF described above and include avoidance, minimization and mitigation measures, such as: habitat assessment, pre -construction surveys by a qualified biologist and biological monitoring, seasonal work windows, stop work if FYLF are found nearby or on-site and consult with CDFW, etc. If found on-site or nearby, a CESA ITP and compensatory habitat may be warranted. Such a revision may require MND recirculation, whereby CDFW may provide additional comments on proposed mitigation measures. 2) If take of FYLF may occur, recommend that the Project proponent apply for a CESA ITP for FYLF. FILING FEES The Project, as proposed, would have an impact on fish and/or wildlife, and assessment of filing fees is necessary. Fees are payable upon filing of the Notice of Determination by the Lead Agency and serve to help defray the cost of environmental review by CDFW.

In tandem with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's (MTC) Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS), Caltrans mission signals a modernization of our approach to evaluate and mitigate impacts to the State Transportation Network (STN). Caltrans' Strategic Management Platz 2015-2020 aims to reduce Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) by tripling bicycle and doubling both pedestrian and transit travel by 2020. Our comments are based on the MND. Additional comments may be forthcoming pending final review. Project Understanding The applicant proposes to construct a Fairfield Suites & Inn at 405 Martin Avenue in the City of Rohnert Park. The proposed building is a five -story structure with 100 rooms; the first level will contain a porte coch&e, covered drop off area, a lobby with lounge seating and waiting area, breakfast bar and seating, business services area, a fitness center, an outdoor pool and linear fire pits. The proposed building footprint will be approximately 11,670 square feet (so with a combined total building area of approximately 57,670 sf. The applicant proposes to construct 105 parking spaces, including electric vehicle parking spaces and a designated bicycle parking area. Access to the site is provided via a shared driveway with Ashley Home Store at the Dowdell Avenue/Martin Avenue intersection. The applicant proposes a secondary access for emergency vehicles at the southeast corner of the project site to the Ashley Home Store parking lot on the adjacent parcel. The proposed access for emergency vehicles will not reconfigure any existing roadways. The project site is regionally accessed approximately 0.4 miles northwest of the US 101/Rohnert Park Expressway interchange. "Provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient transportalior system to enhance California's econoow and livability" Mr. Jeffrey Beiswenger, City of Rolinert Park September 8, 2017 Page 2 Project Description: Please address the following: • Total number of hotel employees; • Number of bicycle parking spaces; and • Identify the public street connection of the proposed secondary access for emergency vehicles. Lead Agency As the Lead Agency, the City of Rohnert Park is responsible for all project mitigation, including any needed improvements to the STN. The project's financing, scheduling, implementation responsibilities and monitoring should be fully discussed for all proposed mitigation measures. Operations Analysis We are concerned with the projected increase in generated trips, which have the potential to create significant speed differentials and increase the number of conflicts on the STN. Queuing vehicles can potentially encroach on the mainline and ramps at the US 101/Rohnert Park Expressway interchange, and overflow of left -turning vehicles beyond the available storage. This could present a significant conflict due to the speed differential between exiting vehicles and highway traffic. To reduce these potential impacts, the applicant should work with Caltrans in order to determine a fair -share contribution. Please provide a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) which analyzes trip generation, distribution, and storage capacity. A TIS is necessary to determine the scope and significance of issues that may arise from the project's potential conflicts. The California Enviroiunental Quality Act (CEQA) does not exempt these types of operational concerns from evaluation. Travel Demand Analysis In Caltrans' Smart Mobility 2010: A Call to Action for the New Decade, this project falls under Place Type 4 Suburban Communities – Corridors, which includes areas with a low level of integration of housing with jobs, retail service, poorly connected street networks, low levels of transit service, a large amount of surface parking, and inadequate walkability, moderate community design and variable regional accessibility. Given this Place Type and intensification of use, which typically leads to high levels of VMT and corresponding low levels of active transportation, please submit a VMT analysis resulting from the proposed project including: A vicinity map, regional location map, and site plan clearly showing the project's location in relation to the STN. Clearly identify State right-of-way, bicycle paths, and transit facilities within the study area. A VMT analysis pursuant to the City's guidelines or, if the City has no guidelines, the Office of Planning and Research's Draft Guidelines. Projects that result in automobile VMT per capita greater than 15 percent below existing (i.e. baseline) city-wide or regional values for similar land use types may indicate a significant impact. If necessary, mitigation for increasing VMT should be identified. Mitigation should support the use of transit and active transportation modes. Potential mitigation measures that include the requirements of other agencies—such as "Provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient nwnspo•tation .sustem to enhance California's economy and livability" Mr. Jeffrey Beiswenger, City of Rohnert Park September 8, 2017 Page 3 Caltrans—are fully enforceable through permit conditions, agreements, or other legally - binding instruments under the control of the City. Potential safety issues for all road users should be identified and filly mitigated. The project's primary and secondary effects on pedestrians, bicycles, disabled travelers and transit performance should be evaluated, including countermeasures and trade-offs resulting from mitigating VMT increases. Access to pedestrians, bicycle, and transit facilities must be maintained. Vehicle Trip Reduction Given the intensification of use and the opportunities to reduce VMT, we encourage the City to establish a Transportation Management Association (TMA) in partnership with other developments in the area to pursue aggressive trip reduction targets with Lead Agency monitoring and enforcement. In addition, the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) elements described below should be included in the program to promote smart mobility and reduce regional VMT and traffic impacts to the STN: • Project design to encourage walking, bicycling, and convenient transit access; • Ten percent vehicle parking reduction; • Commuter subsidy for transit, caipool, and vanpool for patrons and employees on an ongoing basis; • Onsite TDM coordination; • Transit and trip planning resources such as commute information kiosk; • Enhanced bus stops including bus shelters; • Electrical vehicle (EV) charging stations and designated parking spaces for EVs and clean fuel vehicles; • Carpooling incentives, dedicated parking spaces and guaranteed ride home for carpooling employees; • Bicycle share membership; • Bicycle route snapping resources and bicycle parking incentives; • Secured bicycle storage facilities; • Showers, changing rooms, and clothing lockers; • Fix -it bicycle repair station(s); and • Decrease headway times and improve way -finding on Sonoma County Transit and Golden Gate Transit bus routes to provide a better connection between the project, nearby Rohnert Park Express Bus Pad, the future Rohnert Park Sonoma -Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) Station, and regional destinations. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs should be documented with annual monitoring reports by an onsite TDM coordinator to demonstrate effectiveness. If the project does not achieve the VMT reduction goals, the reports should also include next steps to take in order to achieve those targets. Also, reducing the parking supply can encourage active forms of "Provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient uransportalion system to enhance Califaa•nia's econoniv and livability" Mr. Jeffrey Beiswenger, City of Rohnert Park September 8, 2017 Page 4 transportation, reduce regional VMT, and lessen future transportation impacts on US 101 and other State facilities. These smart growth approaches are consistent with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy goals and would meet Caltrans Strategic Management Plan sustainability goals. For additional TDM options, please refer to Chapter 8 of Federal Highway Administration's Integrating Demand Management into the Transportation Planning Process: A Desk Reference, regarding TDM at the local planning level. The reference is available online at: http://www.ops.fliwa.dot. gov/publications/thwahop 12035/fbwahop 1203 5.pdf. For information about parking ratios, please see MTC's report, Reforming Parking Policies to Support Smart Growth, or visit the MTC parking webpage: http://www.mtc.ca.gov/planning/smart—growth/parking. Multinodal Planning This project is located within close proximity of a Priority Development Area (PDA) in the City of Rohnert Park. PDA's are identified by the Association of Bay Area Governments as areas for investment, new homes, and job growth. To support PDA goals, the project should be conditioned to ensure connections to existing bike lanes and multi -use trails to facilitate walking and biking to the project site. Specifically, the proposed project should connect to the existing Laguna De Santa Rosa Trail, existing Class II bike lanes on Dowdwell Avenue and Redwood Drive, and the proposed SMART Trail, as shown in the 2008 Rohnert Park Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan. The applicant should coordinate with the City of Rohnert Park and Sonoma County Regional Parks to consider providing public access from Dowdell Avenue to the Laguna De Santa Rosa Trail, south of the proposed project site. A direct connection to the trail would provide hotel guests, as well as residents on Dowdell Avenue with improved access to recreational activities on the trail. Providing these connections with streets configured for alternative transportation modes will reduce VMT by promoting usage of nearby Sonoma County Bus Routes 12, 44, 44X, and 48, Golden Gate bus routes 72, 74, 101 and 101 X, and the fiiture Rohnert Park SMART Station. Moreover, the project should be conditioned to provide a fair share contribution toward the City of Rohnert Park's proposed Class Il bike lanes on Labath Avenue west of the project site and Martin Avenue east of the project site that would connect to existing bike lanes on Dowdell Avenue and Redwood Drive. Traffic Impact Fees Given the potential of increased levels of VMT and proximity to US 101, the project should be conditioned to contribute fair share impact fees. These contributions would be used to lessen future traffic congestion and improve multimodal forms of transportation in the project vicinity. The mitigation measures should be detailed in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting plan and the fair share information should also be presented in the final environmental document. Required roadway improvements should be completed prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy.
