STAFF REPORT
(Via PowerPoint presentation)
INT. DIR. OF DEV. SVCS. PONTON: Thank you,
Mr. Chair.
This evening we have before us a request for
project -- Walmart project for expansion, including the
Site Plan and Architectural Review, the Environmental
Impact Report, and the Sign Program.
The Project Summary -- very briefly, as the
Commission has -- many members of the Commission have
seen this before, but for the audience and our new
commissioners -- briefly, the proposed expansion is for
approximately 35,000 square feet to the existing Walmart
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 4
store located at 4325 Redwood.
Just for point of reference, Highway 101,
Redwood Drive, this is the proposed site (Indicating).
Again, the entitlements (Indicating).
The Proposed Project includes the expansion of
the building area, mostly on the south end of the
building. This would include an additional 35,000 -- a
little over 35,000 square feet of building area.
The major portion of the Project would be an
expansion of the building, which includes the addition
of the new grocery sales area, additional stockroom, as
well as grocery loading docks. It would also be
configured to include a vision center, pharmacy, and
photo lab inside.
The store would continue to have outdoor
seasonal sales in the parking lot, which are approved by
permit each season by the City.
Part of the Entitlement Request is for an
increase of extended hours. Currently, the store is
open from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. The Applicant has
requested an extension of those hours to full 24-hour
operation.
Additionally, the Applicant has indicated the
expansion will result in approximately 85 new jobs.
Briefly, Walmart proposes to add, as I
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 5
by blue tiles.
over to your left behind you there is an
enlarged poster that has the colors so you can get a
better idea of the proposed colorways.
There will be new bollard lights extending
along the length of the building, and a black iron fence
will extend around the exterior of the garden center.
Additionally, the outdoor space would be
covered with a vinyl -coated mesh and shade cloth. We'll
see a little bit more of that on the elevations.
Again, a little bit hard to see, but you can
turn to Building Elevations, Exhibit 3 in your binder.
The roofline, as noted in the upper diagram
and the first one on your exhibit, would range from
25 feet to 34 feet above grade. Currently, the zoning
code allows up to 65 feet. So, it remains under the
allowable height.
Starting at the south end of the diagram, on
the south end of the building to the east there is a
capped masonry half -wall, which [sic] the carts will be
stored. There is a top -roof detail with embedded
decorative blue tiles, and there is stucco and a masonry
wall below.
There is a long pedestrian walkway accented by
trellises covered with vines, colonnades, and archways.

mentioned, 35,000 square feet. But this chart shows a
little bit how that square footage is distributed.
Again, general merchandise sales, food sales, support,
stockroom, ancillary, and outdoor garden center. So,
going from approximately 131,000 square feet to just
over 166,000 square feet.
I know this slide is a little bit difficult to
see, but in your binders as Exhibit 2 -- I'll give you a
moment to get to that -- is an exhibit which gives you
some details in -- more easily read details.
The primary building expansion would consist
of the enlargement of the store to the south in this
area (Indicating). It includes an expansion -- slight
expansion to the north. It includes two loading docks
and expansion to the outdoor garden center, and there
will be a slight expansion in the front on the eastern
elevation. That would be to add new restrooms.
The store elevations are -- will be upgraded
as part of the store expansion. And in a few slides,
we'll get to some of the elevations.
The design features will include tile and roof
improvements, new colonnades, archways, columns,
cornices. And in keeping with the design style of the
center, the Mission -style theme, the building colors
will be a combination of light and earth tones accented
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 6
Additionally, under the archways, there is seating
planned along with bicycle parking.
In this elevation, a little bit difficult, but
look at your binder elevation, we do show the garden
center areas. And on this is the northern elevation,
where there is an architectural treatment not there now
that will create identification of the garden area and
then, of course, the shade cloth running here
(Indicating). So, the garden area will be screened and
enclosed.
The exterior elevations will be illuminated
with wall -mounted lights with lights shaded downward.
So, there will be controls so no overspillage [sic] onto
adjoining properties.
A little bit easier to see, both for the
Commissioners and members of the audience, are the
facades. And this would be on the eastern entry side of
the Project Conceptual View. There is a number of
colorways, shading, and you can note the architectural
features, including the trellises and roofline
treatments.
This is looking southwesterly towards the
front the eastern elevation. And you can note the
vinyl -covered trellises. So, it will be a departure
from the flat front currently now.

Again, the entryway (Indicating). And an
overall view of the total frontage improvements on the
east side (Indicating).
Part of the entitlements tonight before the
Commission is a Sign Program. The existing wall signage
would be removed and new signage would be installed.
The new signage would total approximately 435 square
feet compared to, currently, approximately 458 square
feet of signage.
The two signs on the new storefront -- there
will be two signs on the storefront on the east side, as
compared with six signs currently in place on the east.
There will be one sign on the west rear elevation of the
Project and it will be non -illuminated. So, it will be
a sign with no illumination.
So, briefly, this is the eastern proposed
elevation. Signage will be here (Indicating). Outdoor
signage here. And this will be the non -illuminated
signage on the rear of the western elevation
(Indicating). So, it's a little different as far as the
number of signs, currently and proposed.
I'd like to talk a little bit about
circulation and parking that is proposed for the site.
The access to the store would remain the same:
A full unsignalized point and a right -in, right -out on
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 9
the customer parking lot out to Redwood. That will be
signed and controlled by the Truck Circulation Plan.
Truck traffic will need to exit out onto Dowdell.
Primarily, general merchandise is off-loaded
in this area (Indicating). The two new below -grade
docks are proposed for the new grocery sales area.
Additionally, vendors will come in this way -- small
vendors -- to unload (Indicating). And there are small
doors on the western elevation for small vendors also.
I'd like to talk a little about the ADA
pedestrian access improvements for the site. This is
Exhibit 7 in your binders for a closer look at this.
There are improvements proposed to enable safe
crossings for the internal driveway to Walmart from
Millbrae Avenue or Redwood Drive. A marked pedestrian
access way in blue, the dotted blue line (Indicating).
So, pedestrians or bikes can come in this way
(Indicating) and, in a controlled crosswalk, come across
to the front sidewalk and into the entrances, or they
may come north and fall along the southern portion of
this driveway entrance using the same path of travel.
As part of the Project features, new existing
lighting is proposed to replace -- new lighting is
proposed to replace the existing. It will be
energy-efficient lighting. It will meet all the

Redwood; two unsignalized full access points on Dowdell.
There are no changes proposed to the current truck
delivery route, and I'll show that in the next slide.
The store expansion would reconfigure the
parking area to provide stalls and landscape to the
south of the expansion area.
Currently, the City -- oh, excuse me.
The proposed parking spaces will total 785
spaces. This exceeds the requirements for a store of
this size, which is 556 spaces. Bike racks would be
configured to hold a capacity of 38 spaces in the front
of the store.
And the parking lot landscaping will meet City
standards as required. That's one tree for every four
spaces and no further than six spaces apart.
As I mentioned earlier, this is the truck
delivery route (Indicating). This is Exhibit 6 in your
binders. Trucks may enter the unsignalized
entrance here (Indicating). They may continue up along
Millbrae and come down.
Trucks can pull into this area with the
loading docks or continue along inside to come around
and back in to the new proposed two loading docks on the
south area.
Trucks are not allowed to proceed out through
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 10
required light levels and the standards in our current
codes.
Lights will be fitted, as I mentioned earlier,
with cutoff shields so no light overlaps onto adjoining
properties.
Closed circuit security cameras are also
proposed for the Project. Those will be submitted to
the Department of the Public Safety for review prior to
installation. Additionally, lot security is provided by
Walmart employees and that will continue.
At this point, I'd like to turn over the
presentation to Mr. Grant Gruber of FirstCarbon
Solutions, who will discuss the EIR, Environmental
Impact Report, process during our evaluation.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Good evening, Grant.

MR. GRUBER: Thank you, Marilyn.
Good evening, Chair, Members of the Planning
Commission.
I'd just like to introduce the other folks
sitting here next to me. To my left is Mark Spencer.

He's with the firm of W -Trans. They did the traffic
study for the project.
To my right is Greg Tonkovich. He's the noise
analyst and did, obviously, the noise portion of the
EIR.
MR. TONKOVICH: Good evening, gentlemen.
MR. GRUBER: So, our Final Environmental
Impact Report and Partially Recirculated Final were
prepared to evaluate the Project's potential
environmental impacts. And the Final EIR and PRFEIR
incorporate by reference a Draft EIR and Partially
Recirculated Draft EIR.
To recap the events that have occurred to
date, on May 4th, 2009, the City issued a
Notice of Preparation. This is the very first step in
the environmental review process. And that NOP
circulated for 30 days.
On August 25th, 2009, the City issued a
Draft EIR for 45 days.
The City received a request to extend the
period, and thus it ended up being a 60 -day review
period.
The following slides provide a summary of the
EIR'S contents. I won't go through them, but the
highlights -- air quality, land use, public services,
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 13
And then on July 20th, 2010, the City Council
heard the appeal and reversed the Planning Commission
decision, certified the EIR, and approved the
entitlements.
Thereafter, on August 2010, Sierra Club and
Sonoma County Conservation Action filed a petition in
Sonoma County Superior Court challenging the City
Council's decisions.
So, in 2011, the Sonoma County Superior Court
ruling determined that the EIR was adequate with the
exception of needing to, first, address all
Transportation Demand Measures, known as TDM, proposed
in a comment letter on the EIR; and, secondly, reanalyze
the cumulative noise impacts from the Project.
On June 12, 2012, the City Council adopted a
resolution to rescind and set aside its certification of
the EIR and approval of the entitlements.
The City initially chose to address the TDM
measures and Cumulative Noise Analysis through
preparation of a Revised Final EIR. Consistent with the
Court's ruling, the City performed additional analysis
of TDM measures and Cumulative Noise Analysis contained
in the Final EIR.
Recirculation Of the Draft EIR was not
required under CEQA because the additional analysis

transportation, urban decay -- these are all issues that
were evaluated in detail.
This slide shows the four traffic impacts that
the EIR concludes are significant and unavoidable after
mitigation. All other impacts could be mitigated to a
level of less than significant or were less than
significant and do not require mitigation.
We'll talk about traffic later in the slide --
or, presentation.
After close of the public review -- public
comment period, the Final EIR that was prepared included
responses, public and agency comments, changes to the
Draft EIR as a result of those responses to comments,
and a minor errata which makes any corrections of the
Draft EIR.
On April 22nd, 2010, the Planning Commission
considered the Final EIR and voted 4-0 to deny
certification of the Final EIR.
The Planning Commission declined to consider
resolutions approving the proposed entitlements which
were contingent upon approval of the Final EIR,
effectively denying the application for the
entitlements.
On May 4th, 2010, the Applicant filed an
appeal of the Planning Commission's decision.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 14
amplified and clarified the original conclusions
contained in the Final EIR, but did not identify
significant new information. The Revised Final EIR was
released in November 2012.
On January 24th, 2013, the Planning
Commission certified the Final Revised EIR and
reapproved the Project Entitlements.
Two parties filed appeals following the
January 2013 Planning Commission action. The appeal
cited various objections, including a claim that the
City should have revised and recirculated the Draft EIR.
On March 4th, 2013, the Project applicants
submitted a letter to the City, stating that although
recirculation of the Draft EIR was not legally required,
the Applicant, nonetheless, requested that the City
recirculate those portions of the Draft EIR that were
revised to address the Superior Court's decision.
The City has a partially -- sorry.
In January 2010 -- or, excuse me -- January
10, 2014, the City issued a Recirculated Draft EIR that
addresses the Superior Court's decision, including,
first, the revisions to the Cumulative Roadway Noise
Analysis and Methodology and Thresholds of Significance
and, second, responses to an analysis of TDM strategies
that were proposed in a comment letter in the Draft EIR.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 16
Included with the Partially Recirculated Draft
EIR are two new technical appendices to support its
analysis. These changes are summarized in Table 2 of
the Staff Report and in the preface to the Environmental
Impact Report for the Rohnert Park Expansion Project.
As part of the preparation of the Partially
Recirculated Draft EIR, the City considered whether any
baseline conditions had changed since it released the
Notice of Preparation in May of 2009, and if so, whether
those changes affected the analysis of the two issues
the Superior Court found to be deficient.
The City identified four baseline conditions
that have changed since May 2009. The first is,
obviously, the completion of the U.S. 101 Wilfred
Avenue/Golf Course Drive West Interchange. The second
was the improvements to Wilfred Avenue/Golf Course Drive
West. Several planned land development projects,
including the Graton Rancheria Casino. And finally, the
relocation of the Rohnert Park SMART Station from near
the Walmart site to down by the Expressway.
The City determined that none of the
aforementioned changes would affect the TDM analysis or
the Revised Cumulative Noise Analysis.
So, again, the Partially Recirculated Draft
EIR is circulated for public review, which closed in
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 17
This is my final slide.
Because there are four significant unavoidable
impacts, a Statement of Overriding Consideration is
required.
Prior to approving a project for which
findings are made that one or more significant
unavoidable impacts could result because mitigation
measures or alternatives identified in the EIR are
unfeasible, CEQA requires that the City, as the lead
agency, find that specific overriding economic, legal,
social, technological, or other benefits of the project
outweigh the significant effects on the environment.
Due to the significant unavoidable impacts
remaining after implementation of feasible mitigation
measures, the Planning Commission would be required to
develop a Statement of Overriding Considerations
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act as
part of the EIR certification.
And with that, I'll turn it back over to
Marilyn.

February of this year, and then the City went preparing
responses to comments. And, again, the Partially
Recirculated Final EIR, which contains responses to
comments, incorporates the Partially Recirculated Draft
EIR by reference to respond to public comments and to
make minor refinements and clarifications to the
Partially Recirculated Draft EIR.
The revisions do not change the significance
of any of the environmental issue conclusions within the
Partially Recirculated Draft EIR.
The Partially Recirculated Final FIR was made
available for public review on August 1st, 2014.
So, CEQA requires, upon conclusion of the
Final EIR, to prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program. So, all of the mitigation measures
identified in the EIR are put forth into a separate
document, which is presented in a matrix format, to
allow the lead agency to actually implement them,
assuming the project is approved. And these mitigation
measures are required to a reduce the impacts to level
of less than significant.
And, again, the MMRP requires the mitigation
measures, the parties responsible for ensuring
compliance, and, finally, the timing of the mitigation
measure, when it's supposed to be implemented.

Grant.
At this point, I'd like to review the Project.
As you heard, Grant has gone over the EIR process today.
The City has responded to the Court's decision on the
EIR and has allowed additional public comment
opportunities throughout the preparation of this
Partially Recirculated Draft EIR.
The Partially Recirculated Final EIR does not
present any significant new information. As you know,
the Project is the same as we saw last year. There are
no changes in the Project description. As a result, the
Final EIR, as modified, is being presented to the
Planning Commission tonight for certification.
AS I mentioned, the Project is the same as
what was before you in 2010 and 2013, and is consistent
with the City's General Plan, Zoning, Development
Standards, Site Plan, Architectural and Sign criteria.
It's not changed since that time, and a discussion of
the Project's consistency with the General Plan
Development Standards is actually provided in your Staff
Report, dated April 22nd, 2010. It's the Agenda Item
Attachment Exhibit 11. So, everything regarding those
matters was included and is included in your
Staff Report.
It should be noted that the City has approved
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 20
two residential projects in the neighborhood of the
proposed Walmart Project since we've been here last.
The Planning Commission has been involved in those.
I'd like to call your attention to the
Fiori Estates Project, which is 244 residential units
just within a little bit over a mile from the Project.
Also, that project is currently under construction, with
residents moving in, in January 2015, estimated time.
Also, as discussed earlier this evening with
your resolution, as a reserve, 84 residential rental
units consisting of three- and four-bedroom townhome
rentals have been approved and expect to be delivered in
2016.
Immediately west of the site, as the Planning
Commission has seen, the preliminary plan underway is
the Northwest Specific Plan that is currently in
process, and the public review period for the
Environmental Impact Report on that project recently
closed early in August. That is under review by the
City and proposes 398 units. So, that is at the back
door of the Walmart, across Dowdell.
Briefly, I'd like to touch on one area as part
of the Environmental Impact Report. In 2009,
Bay Area Economics performed an Economic Impact and
Urban Decay Analysis. The conclusions of that analysis
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 21
Architectural Review, and adopting
Resolution 2014-30, approving the Walmart
Expansion Project Sign Program.
With that, Staff concludes their comments.
Staff and our team of consultants are available for any
questions or comments.
COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS OF STAFF & CONSULTANTS
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you, Marilyn, for
that excellent and comprehensive report. We appreciate
it.
And we'll start this off with you, John.
Questions of Staff?
COMMISSIONER BORBA: I have a question of
legal counsel.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Sure.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: What's our standard of
review?
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: Our standard
of review?
COMMISSIONER BORBA: Yeah.
What should we look at here and what should we
not look at here?

are also included in your Exhibit No. 11 in your
Staff Report. The conclusions in the report are still
relevant and applicable to the proposed Project.
It should be noted that since the time the
report was prepared, one grocery store cited in the
report, Pacific Market, has closed without the expansion
of Walmart's grocery operation. However, overall growth
demand could allow for the potential re -tenanting of
that project, and, as we know, we do have an applicant
there.
This evening, that concludes our presentation
of the EIR, the Site Plan and Architectural Review, and
the Sign Program. Based on these analyses and findings,
which are attached to the resolutions, staff recommends
the Planning Commission take the following actions:
Adopting Resolution 2014-28, certifying
the Walmart Expansion Project Final EIR and
Partially Recirculated Final EIR, making
California Environmental Quality Act
Findings of Fact, approving the Statement of
Overriding Considerations, and adopting the
Mitigation and Monitoring Program.
Additionally, adopting Resolution
2014-29, approving the Rohnert Park Walmart
Expansion Project Site Plan and
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 22
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: Well, the
only two issues that are new since the last time the
Commission has looked at this Project since the
Draft EIR are the Analysis of Transportation Demand
Management Measures and the updated Cumulative Noise
Analysis, as Grant pointed out.
The two questions that are really in front of
the Commission are, Do these address the points raised
by the Superior Court after the Petition was reviewed?
Staff feels that they do; legal counsel feels that they
do.
This is really just a matter of addressing
points that were raised by the Court. Everything else
about the Project and everything else about the
environmental review is the same.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: And did the Court's order
say that we were in -- well, what are you relying on to
say that we only have to look at these new issues and
not the entire EIR?
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: The
Petitioners in the earlier case -- and I apologize.
This microphone seems to have --
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: It's got a little
feedback there.
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: Yeah, it
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 24

does
The Petitioners raised a number of issues in
their Petition. They raised a subset of those issues in
their papers before the Court in their argument before
the Court.
All of those arguments were rejected except
two. The two arguments were that the City had not
adequately addressed the TDM measures that were raised
in a comment letter, and that the Cumulative Noise
Analysis needed to be done in a different way.
So, really, here the question is, Did the City
address all of the Transportation Demand Management
letters in that -- comments in that letter, and did the
City address the Cumulative Noise Analysis in the way
the Court recommended?
COMMISSIONER BORBA: With the passage of time,
would it not be reasonable to review the entire EIR?
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: This really
goes to the changed -conditions issue that Grant
addressed, that there are no changed conditions relating
to the balance of the EIR; therefore, there's really no
change that would warrant a revisiting of the
conclusions that are in the EIR.
And, also, those issues were raised by the
Petitioners in the lawsuit, and the Court looked at
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 25
COMMISSIONER BORBA: No.
I'm going to have some questions of the
consultants.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay.
Do you want to take that now?
COMMISSIONER BORBA: I'd rather not.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: I'd rather come back to
that
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Yes, sir.

those and didn't find that the EIR was invalid in those
areas.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: The City -- so, the
City's position in circulating this -- so, the City's
determination that we only need to look at two points is
based on legal advice?
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: It's based on
the Court's order.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: The Court's order. Okay.
Okay.
And in terms of the traffic and the noise
study, did you opine it was sufficient for your review?
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: The City
Attorney's Office has reviewed the environmental
documents that are before the Commission tonight, and we
have found them to be sufficient.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: And that's all I have for
you. Thank you.
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: Absolutely.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: And I certainly
appreciate you answering my questions.
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: Absolutely.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: Okay.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Do you have any
questions of any of the other City staff, John?
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 26
COMMISSIONER BORBA: Okay.
So, for the consultants, I guess I'm kind of
hung up on some aspects of the noise analysis.
That would be you?
MR. TONKOVICH: Yes.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: I reviewed the Partially
Recirculated Final EIR, in specific, the noise
contributions. There's some -- there's three or four
letters submitted from, it seems to be, other
consultants in the field -- engineers and so forth --
that have raised questions about the acoustical analysis
and some of the numbers you used. So, that's what I
want to ask you about. So, bear with me while I find
it.
There was a letter -- and I'm sorry. These
are not Bates -stamped or -- so, it's a little hard to
find, but I'm looking at Mr. Wolfe's letter.
Do you have that?
MR. TONKOVICH: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: In his final -- third
paragraph, he says:
"The City is not justified in using the
coarse net FICON thresholds as a measure of
what constitutes a considerable
contribution."
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 28
I didn't see a response specifically in the
City's response that addressed this net -- coarse net
FICON thresholds.
Maybe you can point me to that or explain that
to me
MR. TONKOVICH: Just to give you some
background, the Wolfe letter was a cover letter to the
watry letter. And the Watry letter goes into much more
detail of Wolfe's concerns. So, we provided greater
detail responding to the Watry letter than the Wolfe
letter.
MR. GRUBER: And those detailed responses
begin on page 2-32.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: Okay.
Is there a response to why we're not using the
coarse net FICON?
First of all, I don't even know what it means,
but I saw that it was raised, and I didn't see something
that referenced it. So, that's what I'd like to know.
MR. TONKOVICH: This Project refreshed my
history of noise a whole bunch, just making these
responses.
FICON was a federal agency that, back in 1980,
was one of the first agencies to come out with noise
standards. And it was an interagency discipline.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 29
land use compatibility noise standards and
policies, such as Exhibit 3.84 of the
Partially Recirculated Draft EIR, which was
taken from Figure 8.3-1 of the City's
General Plan.
"Essentially, the relevant
FICON standards are reflected in the City's
General Plan and were used as a basis for
assessing noise impacts."
COMMISSIONER BORBA: Okay. So, good. I
missed that reference. But thank you.
One of the other concerns expressed in the
responses -- or, the comments was that a commercial
standard was applied to an area that should have a
residential standard. And I think it was 70 versus 65.
MR. GRUBER: I believe you're referring to the
Good Nite Inn.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: Yes, Good Nite Inn. And
also, you know, we are going to have units in this area.
So, the question is, What's the standard -- 65
or 70?
MR. GRUBER: Yes. I believe the specific
question was about a particular segment of Redwood Drive
on which the Good Nite Inn was located. And in the
Partially Recirculated Draft EIR, we had used a

The issue with noise is, unlike
transportation, it is -- transportation analyzes
transportation. Noise comes from all sources, so it's
an impact from rail, impact from aircraft, impact from
cars. So, there wasn't one federal agency that analyzed
noise.
So, the FICON Committee was formed as an
interagency committee that included multiple --
Department of Transportation, Housing and Urban
Development -- there's like seven different agencies
that came together and made this report to have a
standard for federal agency -- to better analyze noise.
And then that became the basis for all the
states. California picked it up, and Caltrans picked it
up and used that as their basis for analysis of noise.
MR. GRUBER: Just, I think the key sentence
here is from page 2-33:
"The FICON recommendations for noise
thresholds have been widely cited in
published guidance issued by agencies such
as Caltrans" -- and this is a state
agency -- "the Governor's Office of Planning
and Research.
"Moreover, the City of Rohnert Park
General Plan incorporates this guidance into
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 30
commercial standard as the basis for assessing impacts.
And the argument was made, No, we should have
used a residential standard, because the Good Nite Inn
is a lodging facility.
And, again, we addressed this issue in the
Final EIR -- Partially Recirculated Final EIR on 2-37.
(Cell phone interruption)
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Hang on.
(To the audience) The Chair would like to
remind you to turn off all your phones, please.
MR. GRUBER: And I'll just read it from here:
"The City's General Plan defines the
noise standard for transient lodging, motels
and hotels, such as the Good Nite Inn, as
65 dB.
"As noted in the Partially Recirculated
Draft EIR, the standard for residential
properties is a lower 60 dB. Thus, under
the City's General Plan, the Good Nite Inn
would be subject to the 65 dB standard for
transient lodging, motels and hotels, rather
than the 60 dB residential standard."
COMMISSIONER BORBA: And what about the houses
behind Walmart in the rural area there?
What standards apply to them?
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 32
MR. TONKOVICH: The 60 dB. All houses, all
future residential areas were analyzed with the 60 dB.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: And the noise levels
you're predicting are in excess of 60 dB; is that
correct?
MR. TONKOVICH: There's a couple of streets
that are -- well, today they are exceeding the 60 dB.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: I know it's
inconvenient, but if you could speak into the
microphone, that would be great.
MR. TONKOVICH: Do you want us to go through
the streets that are --
COMMISSIONER BORBA: Yeah. Could you, so I
know? Or just tell me the page, but maybe you could
recite that for the public that may be watching.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: This is the EIR; right?
(Indicating)
MR. GRUBER: Yeah. So, this is the Partially
Recirculated Draft EIR, dated January 10th. The
relevant table is on page 3.8.A-12.
MR. TONKOVICH: We bolded and underlined the
ones that exceed the standards, to help you -- assist
you.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: Okay.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 33
And one the things we spent a lot of time
talking about in the Partially Recirculated Draft EIR on
page 3.8.A-17 is what -- in cases where you have a
roadway segment where the noise levels exceed the
General Plan standard, then that second step, what
increase would be required to be considered a
significant impact.
And so, that's where we have this sliding
scale. You can see it. We have it bulleted. And
because the worst-case increase is 7/loths of 1 decibel,
it's below either 3 decibels or 1.5 decibels, depending
on what the preexisting noise level is. And in no case
would the project trip that type of increase.
MR. TONKOVICH: It should be noted that
3 decibels is the threshold that an average person could
tell the difference of a noise increase. So, an average
person would never be able to tell -- or anybody could
ever tell a .7 decibel noise increase. Just, you can't
recognize it.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: Okay. Thank you.
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: Before we
move on, Mr. Borba, I just wanted to respond to what, I
think, got missed in your question.
You asked about why the 70 dB standard got
applied at the Good Nite Inn. And I just want to make

MR. GRUBER: I should note there is a two-step
process here. So, many of these roadways, under
existing conditions -- so, without the Project -- would
exceed the acceptable standard. So, the second step,
then, is, in that case with the Project -- cause a
substantial increase above the existing noise level.
And so, that was one of the things that the
trial court had asked us to take another look at and
apply a two-step standard in that regard.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: So, is it not fair to say
that an area which already exceeds the standard which is
then increased by additional traffic noise, the -- those
people may suffer a great impact?
MR. GRUBER: This brings us back to the
FICON report. So, FICON, actually, was studying the
question of what constitutes a substantial increase.
One of the key aspects of noise is that the
human ear, the threshold of perceptibility of a change
in noise is 3 decibels. So, while the Project will
increase noise levels on certain roadway segments, it's
well below 3 decibels.
In fact, I think the worst-case increase here
is -- it's like -- what? -- half a decibel? .5? .7?
7/loths of 1 dB is the worst-case increase
attributable to the Project.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 34
sure we covered it. I may have missed it.
While the Good Night Inn is transient lodging,
it would be ordinarily subject to a 65 dB standard. It
was treated as a 70 dB standard -- and this is addressed
on page 2-37 of the Revised Final EIR -- because it is
located behind commercial uses. It's screened by
commercial uses that are subject to 70 dB standard.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: Yeah. I read that.
Thank you. I appreciate you pointing that
out.

APPLICANT COMMENTS
MS. DAVIDOFF: Good evening.
THE WITNESS: Chair, Members of the
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 36
Commission, my name is Judy Davidoff. I'm with Sheppard
Mullin in San Francisco, and I represent the Applicant,
Walmart stores. Thank you for the opportunity to be
here tonight.
I wanted to first thank staff. Staff and the
City Attorney's Office have worked real hard on this to
be sure that the analysis complied with the Court order.
I'd also like to thank the City's team of
experts, some of whom are here tonight, who also worked
extremely hard considering all aspects of these issues.
As Marilyn said, this is the project that was
previously approved by the City. It's the same project.
There has been no change to the project.
The court remand, as indicated by Marilyn and
by Mr. Gruber, was limited to two issues dealing with
the Transportation Management Demand factors and
Cumulative Noise. All other aspects of the EIR were
upheld by the Court and found adequate.
The team of experts put together by the City,
as well as the City, thoroughly analyzed those issues
and, in our view, they did what the Court asked them to
do. And this is in total compliance with the Court
order.
We have our team of -- Project team here
tonight. If you have any questions, we have our civil
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 37
We've got 6:55 and we've got about 28 people

CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: All right. 7:30. So,
we've got 35 minutes.
Do you want to go for it?
COURT REPORTER: Let's go.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
(Whereupon the Public Comments commenced
at 6:59 p.m.)
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: All right. So, we're
going to start -- we're going to open up the Public
Comments portion here.
I'd like the following individuals to line up
on the left-hand side: Peter Alexander, Matt Myres,
Lauren Ornelas, Dan Kerbein, Andy McLean, Tony White,
Cynthia Stecker -- Strecker. I apologize if I blew
that -- Rick Luttmann, Marty Bennett, and Jessica Jones,
please.

CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 38
you've got two minutes -- and where you're from.
MATT MYRES: I'm Matt Myres. I live in
Windsor. I'm a former teacher and school principal, 34
years. I also served as a principal -- elementary
principal in the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School
District. I'm concerned about the impact of an
expansion. I'm concerned about Walmart anyway, but an
expansion, its impact on education.
Low-income children, when they start
kindergarten, on average, are about a year to 18 months
behind their middle-income peers when it comes to
academic preparation, conceptual development, so forth.
There's reason for that, but they're complex; not one
particular thing, but lack of access to resources, lack
of exposure to original language, lack of access to
healthcare and dental care, et cetera. There's other
factors.
That academic gap increases as kids get older.
More often that is evidenced by standardized tests and
other academic measures. On average, low-income
children score lower.
We need a multifaceted approach to
addressing the achievement and achievement gap. Schools
alone aren't going to be able to close the achievement
gap.

Presently, currently in the county, there's an
effort to have effective inside strategies, good
instruction, but also outside school strategies to
reduce the poverty and its impacts.
I think it's moving in the wrong direction.
If we -- if you approve the expansion of walmart, I
think we need to take -- we can do better. We need to
take a stronger stance to move us in a good direction
for our children.
Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you very much.
Lauren, please. Welcome.
LAUREN ORNELAS: Hi. I'm Lauren Ornelas. I'm
the founder and executive director of a nonprofit called
"Food and Empowerment Project." I live in Rohnert Park.
I'm speaking here today because I know that
part of the expansion of Walmart includes this grocery
aspect, and our organization works on access to healthy
foods in communities of color and low-income
communities. And more than not, what we found in our
work is that one of the biggest impediments to people
accessing healthy foods is the lack of a living wage.
There's no question that Walmart does not pay
their workers a living wage. They can quote their
executives, their management. It doesn't matter. I'm

And this is a big problems when it comes to accessing
healthy foods.
If this is an issue that Rohnert Park is
concerned about and is serious about, I would strongly
encourage the Planning Commission to figure out ways to
bring cooperatives into the City of Rohnert Park.
This would allow money to stay in the
community. We would have workers owning the
cooperative, which means the money stays in our
community. It's not going to Arkansas.
So, we need to figure out ways to empower our
community, empower our workers, bring the money here and
have this community thrive, and also meet the needs of
all members of our community.
I hope that you do not vote on expanding
Walmart.
Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you very much.
Dan, welcome.
DAN KERBEIN: Yeah. My name is Dan Kerbein.
I live in Santa Rosa. I'm the chair of the Sierra Club
Sonoma Group, and, of course, we did bring the
litigation that everyone has been talking about here
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 41 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 42
today
I'm not going to talk about the litigation,
and I'm not going to talk about the FIR. There's plenty
of room for discussion of that. It's very technical.
What interested me in all of the discussion
before and the recommendations that were made was the
term -- and I just love this phrase here -- that
"Walmart meets the overriding considerations of social
benefit."
And I think that what the next generations in
Rohnert Park are going to have to deal with is the
lack of social benefit that Walmart brings; okay?
I saw the design here. I -- I don't know. I
don't see the walkability.
You're the Planning Commission. You have the
opportunity to make sure that Rohnert Park, instead of
just being written off as a place where big boxes go and
everything's a strip mall, you have walkable
communities, you've got places that are people -friendly,
you have places where people don't have to drive to
shop.
That's what you have at -- that's what I see
at Walmart. I don't see walkability. I don't see a
bunch of smaller operators in there, smaller vendors in
that center. I don't see that encouraging -- what kind

of produce is going to be sold in there? Are the
products going to come from local producers? I don't
think so.
I think the Walmart business model is to drive
out small businesses. It's to put everything on
shipping containers from toxic factories in China, and
then bring it here, take the money back out, as our
previous speaker said -- out to Missouri or wherever it
is they come from.
I just don't see where this is going to be
planning for the city of the future, of the 21st
century. And that is really what our difference with
this entire Project is. That's what you have here with
a super store.
Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you very much,
Dan.
Andy, please.
ANDY MCLEAN: Hello. My name is Andy McLean.
In the spirit of disclosure, I'll say I live in Cotati,
but the back four feet of my yard is in Rohnert Park.
I'd like to address the issue that was just
discussed, the social benefits, and I'd like to make it
a little more concrete.
You know, in Cotati, we had a fistfight over
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 44
1
2
3

the approval of the Lowe's store. Well, it's no secret
that Cotati is constantly flirting with bankruptcy. And
without saying why I think that is, I will say that
Lowe's helped save the City's bacon.
Also, I'd like to point out that sales tax
revenue is one of the contributors to the SMART Rail
Plan. And we have a depot directly across from walmart
on the SMART Rail line that is, in part, being financed
by big -box retailers from sales tax revenues. So, this
is something that you should consider. It's not only
going to help the City of Cotati, but I think it's going
to help society in general.
And when we talk about walkability, I'd point
out to you that the first items on the agenda were
something like 500 units of new residential housing all
within walking distance of walmart. That sounds pretty
walkable to me.
I'm not a big fan of walking. You can tell
that by looking at my waist. But when you come right
down to it, you're not going to be able to get much
closer to Walmart than those new developments.
Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you very much.
Tony, please. I'm sorry.
Did I go out of turn?
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 45
Walmart, by its own admission, has increased
its carbon footprint and, actually, today is less
dependent on renewable sources of energy than it was a
few years ago. So, it's increased its carbon footprint.
It's doing less than its competitors, in terms of
turning more to clean energy.
And, finally, the low-wage policy by itself is
such that people working there, if they get a full-time
job -- but even as a full-time employee, you probably
can't afford to live in Rohnert Park or anyplace else in
Sonoma County. And, therefore, employees very often --
not just here, but across the Country -- rely on
subsidies. Subsidies for housing, for food stamps, and
for medical care.
So, do you want to essentially subsidize a
very large, profitable corporation and the wealthiest
family in the world?
Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you very much.
Now it's your turn. Sorry about that.

TONY WHITE: My name is Tony White. I live in
Santa Rosa, but I taught at Sonoma State for 40 years
and have spent a lot of time in Rohnert Park.
First of all, I'm a member of the job --
North Bay Jobs With Justice, formerly the Collation of
Sonoma County. I'd like to speak against the
certification of the EIR and the approval of the Walmart
expansion.
While I object to or am critical to the
employment practices of Walmart and the races to the
bottom with low wages, the lacking benefits, that by
itself is not sustainable economically for Rohnert Park
or Sonoma County. However, I'd like to address the
environmental issues.
We live in a very beautiful area. We've
adopted or voted for coastal protection, urban growth
boundaries. We have the SMART public train down the
road in the future. We have Sonoma Clean Power. We
also have energy independence, and we have a go -local
cooperative.
From my point of view, the whole Walmart model
violates all those attempts protect our environment,
improve the quality of life, reduce carbon emissions.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 46
he talked to me of the difficulty that many building
contractors have in simply getting paid by Walmart
for the work that they've done to expand a regular store
into a supercenter. And I will leave with you a copy
of the newspaper article to which I'm making reference;
okay?
It spoke of, described, one person, a painting
contractor, who was absolutely delighted to have Walmart
doing the work they were doing. He got the bid. It was
to be a year-long job. So, he worked on along, but in
July, Walmart stopped paying him. So, he kept going
along on promises until October, when he decided he'd
finally had enough and filed a mechanic's lien.
Now, I'm sure you know this is a legal
procedure. So, what that means is that one small
business person is in court up against an army of
lawyers from Walmart who can easily drown a person with
court filings and that sort of thing. So, that's
exactly what happened.
And in December, this person settled. He had
filed a mechanic's lien for a little over $50,000. He
settled for $14,300.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you, Cynthia.
Thank you. Sorry. I apologize.

Doreen Avenue in Rohnert Park. I'm 44 years on the

Living Wage Coalition and the North Bay Jobs With

I was astonished to read in this morning's
Press Democrat that two of the ten people in the City
government who are tasked with deciding this issue have
already made up their minds and have publicly announced
that they are in support of this Project.
So, I raise the question, What are we doing
here tonight? What is the point of a public hearing?
I think that a lot of people have come out
here tonight to express their opinions, and the notion
that people have already made up their minds how they're
going to go vote means we're making a mockery of this
process.
I call on Commissioner Adams to recuse herself
from the vote tonight, because otherwise this process is
irretrievably tainted.
As to the other four members of the
Commission, I don't know whether you have made up your
minds. I hope that as a matter of honor, if you have,
you will recuse yourselves as well.

CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Actually, we're not
going to do that this evening. If you'll go ahead and
take your full two minutes, we'll let her take her full
two minutes as well.
MARTY BENNETT: Okay.
I have two reasons I want to focus on tonight
why you should deny this Project. And I've been
involved in the whole five-year campaign against the
Project.
First, General Plan policy LU -7 specifically
encourages supermarkets to be located close to where
people live in order to provide convenient grocery
shopping and encourage people to travel by foot and
bicycle to do their grocery shopping.
The expansion of Walmart by 40,000 square feet
to add a full grocery component is clearly at odds with
LU -7, since the Walmart is located in a regional
shopping center away from all but a handful of
residential homes.

If you are not outraged on my behalf about
this, maybe you'll be outraged on your own behalf,
because the other person who has already made up his
mind publicly is our Mayor, Joe Callinan, who has a vote
on the City Council. So, he's made up his mind before
even hearing from you. He doesn't care what the
Planning Commission says any more than he cares what the
public says. He's made up his mind.
Mr. Callinan says he is very impressed with
Walmart's business model. He thinks that it should be
used by governments. He's totally unclear on the
concept.
Walmart's business plan is to offer low prices
by shifting a lot of the cost of business onto the
taxpayer's dime. They pay their people so little that
they can qualify for food stamps and WIC and TANF and so
on. I'd like to see how that works in government.
Is the government going to subsidize itself?
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you, Rick. I'm
going to have to cut you off there.
RICK LUTTMANN: I would just add, this is not
laissez-faire capitalism; this is laissez-faire
uncapitalism [sic].
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay. Thank you.
Marty, please. Welcome.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 50
Walmart's original economic survey indicated
that this store will draw customers from a wide area,
and, therefore, the addition of the supermarket
component is not intended to serve nearby families, but,
instead, will pull grocery shoppers from other existing
neighborhood -serving facilities. The Project is out of
compliance with the General Plan.
Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you very much.
And before we bring our next speaker up, I'd
like to call the next ten, please.
So, Val Hinshaw, please. And Thomas Phillips,
Nancy Atwell, and Sue Dewey, and Michael Montgomery, and
Kandy Messner -- sorry if I blew that -- Ray Messner,
and Joy Rhode, and Myrna Spiegler. Please come on up.
And welcome, Jessica. Sorry about that.
JESSICA JONES: No worries.
Good evening, Planning Commissioners. As a
resident of Rohnert Park for 24 years, I would like to
comment on the proposed Walmart Supercenter.
As we know, the City of Rohnert Park is
largely defined by its neighborhoods with their own
letter designation.
When the General Plan was adopted, it
specifically provided for convenient
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 52
1
2
3
4
neighborhood -serving facilities often anchored by a
supermarket. One of these locations is the Mountain
Shadows Shopping Center where the closed Pacific Market
is being replaced by a 35,000 square foot Walmart
Neighborhood Market.
This type of neighborhood -serving supermarket
is precisely what the General Plan, Policy LU -7,
envisioned. Now, however, Walmart would like to also
add a full 35,000 square -foot -plus grocery to their
existing 131,000 square foot general retail store.
When this Project was last reviewed by the
City of Rohnert Park, Walmart claimed the expansion
would conveniently serve areas east of 101 in the
direction of the Pacific market. Now, they are
occupying the Pacific Market space. That argument no
longer applies, since it's much easier for these
residents to shop at the Mountain Shadows area.
This leaves the proposed walmart Supercenter
with no convenient and consistent neighborhood base and
would require Walmart to draw and negatively impact more
conveniently, the other located [sic) supermarkets.
This will put some of the supermarkets at risk
of closure. Since Policy LU -7 encourages close -by
supermarkets to allow for convenient shopping by foot
and bicycle, this expansion will contradict this policy.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 53
your packet. We have E-mailed that to you, and I'd like
to read that to the Committee to put that into the
record for the meeting this evening.
"The Sonoma County Democratic Party
Resolution Opposing the Proposed

walmart has resubmitted an Environmental
Impact Report to expand its current store in

166,788 square feet to become a supercenter
which sells both nontaxable groceries
and general merchandise, and the impact upon
small, locally -owned independent businesses,
local grocers and unionized national grocery
stores that pay decent wages and benefits
has been shown to be such that for every
supercenter that opens in a county, two
local grocery stores will go out of
business;

Another supercenter is not needed in
Rohnert Park, and tonight, as a Rohnert Park resident, I
ask that our Planning Commissioners, City leaders,
residents of Rohnert Park look beyond themselves and
beyond the promised lower prices and promised low-wage
jobs, and look at the bigger picture. Think about
quality, and think about the world we want our children
to live in.
Please vote no on this project and preserve
our existing neighborhood supermarkets.
Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you, Jessica.
Perfect timing, too.
Val, please come up.
VAL HINSHAW: Thank you.
My name is Val Hinshaw. I live in Santa Rosa.
I'm a member of the Sonoma County Democratic Party
specialty committee, and our members live all throughout
Sonoma County, and we are concerned with issues that
include environmental justice, economic fairness,
environmental impact, and sustainable growth, among
other things.
And after much discussion back in March of
this year, our committee passed a resolution
opposing the Walmart Supercenter, a copy of which is in
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 54
Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Mexico,
but it also is one of the worst anti -union
employees in America, with the result that
not one Walmart store has been unionized,
and those Walmart workers who attempt to
organize experience unlawful surveillance
and interrogation" --
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Unfortunately, I'm going
to have to cut you short.
VAL HINSHAW: -- therefore, we oppose it.

nice evening.

THOMAS PHILLIPS: I'm on the board of the
Peace and Justice Center Sonoma County, and I
represent the Peace and Justice Center on the board of
North Bay Jobs With Justice.
Both the Peace and Justice Center and North
Bay Jobs with Justice really watches out for people who
are marginalized in our community. I oppose the
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 56

expansion of Walmart.
Walmart opponents usually cite environmental
things, traffic, absentee landlordism, low wages and
benefits, and predatory pricing. People who defend
Walmart generally like the low prices, as we all do.
It's a business model that basically pays really low
wages and provides really low benefits.
Exports. They exported a million and a half
jobs to China in the last ten years because of the
production -- the amount of products Walmart
manufactures in China.
An example of predatory pricing. In 2000, the
Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer
Protection accused Walmart of selling butter, laundry
detergent, and other staples at low cost to force
competitors of out of business.
In 2006, Berry Lynn, who is a senior fellow of
the New American Foundation, said that Walmart's
constant demand for lower prices caused Kraft Foods to
shut down 39 plants, let go of 13,500 employees, stop
production of a quarter of its products because Kraft
was unable to compete. This is the kind of company you
have -- that we have in our community and that wants to
expand.
Regarding labor relations, most revealing is a
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 57
it was stated before, the General Plan Policy LU -7
specifically encourages supermarkets to be located close
to where people live, and that encourages people to
travel by foot and bicycle to do grocery shopping.
This is in a section of town that has very few
residents in it, and I think that's clearly at odds with
the LU -7 plan. The original economic plan says that it
would draw customers from a wide area.
And it's not intended to serve local families,
because there aren't very many in that section of town.
It would be drawing from other sections. That's not
what we want in Rohnert Park, the "Friendly City."
I spoke before about my concerns about the
Pacific Market going out of business several years ago
when we had this hearing. And it has. They can't
compete.
Now, Walmart has bought the lease there and is
opening another grocery store. I don't want Walmart
owning my section of town.
And consider the space that they're going to
have in this town. They're going to control prices,
sales, and other things for other retailers.
The small businesses and the local owners are
gonna have problems, possibly go out of business.
Rohnert Park could become blighted. It's just gonna

CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you.
NANCY ATWELL: First, I'd like to say that, as
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 58
change the nature of Rohnert Park. We don't need
another low -price grocery store. We have three already.
And you bring two of those now into this
section of our town. It's gonna change. My property
values, crime, and other things are going to happen,
because of research showing what happens in their
parking lot.
I don't want my section of town controlled by
Walmart. There's too many other grocery stores in our
city that already have the impact, and I think it will
really negative -- it's going to have a negative impact.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you very much,
Nancy.
And I'm hoping the next one is Sue.
SUE DEWEY: Yes.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: _Thank you, Sue. Please,
welcome. And tell us where you live.
SUE DEWEY: I'm Sue Dewey. I've lived in
Rohnert Park 35 years, a retired school teacher.
I have supported Walmart throughout this whole
fiasco, and I'm flabbergasted with the number of people
from outside of Rohnert Park who tell us what we should
do and what we're not doing. I resent it.
And ever since I've lived here, when you go
somewhere, You're from Rohnert Park? And we're still
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 60

getting it.
How dare they judge us. We have a need here
in Rohnert Park for people who are lower socio [sic]
income. They need that area.
People come from Petaluma and Santa Rosa to
shop here. we're draining money from those two cities.
And yet they can put in a huge Target at Coddingtown?
What would happen if Walmart was going to
Coddingtown? How dare they would do that.
Well, I just am sick of it. And I think the
expansion of Walmart will do good. It will bring more
tax dollars into the City, so we can help the children.
We have open borders now. These children will be all
across the nation. Walmart is not the cause of all of
our failures.
Look to the government. Go to Washington.
There are other companies that are doing the same thing
that Walmart is doing. They're successful. Workers are
working there because they do get a fair wage. They do
good get benefits.
And I'm tired of outsiders telling us what to
do. We should be proud. We're Rohnert Park, and we're
doing very well.
Thank you very much.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you, Sue.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 61
does offer.
Walmart is also known for its very aggressive
antiunion stance to help maintain the status quo. I
just want to say, I'm not a member of any union and
never have been.
Pacific Market is a good example of losing
locally -owned businesses that keep our money locally,
and turning them over to, you know, the
multibillionaires, the Walmart family, the Waltons.
So, the Environmental Impact Report really
isn't just about structure and traffic; it's also about
its other impact, its economic impact, which impacts all
of us. It makes this a liveable community or not.
Our sales -- and the point that sales tax
revenue, which does come on in, dwarfs what we actually
pay as taxpayers.

to cut you short. If you'll give your remarks to Suzie,
she'll make sure it's circulated.

MICHAEL MONTGOMERY: Good evening. My name is
Michael Montgomery. I live in Santa Rosa, but I still
consider myself an insider, actually. I'm here to
address more the economic impact of Walmart.
You've heard some of this already. I got my
information from the Americans For Tax Fairness. I have
two handouts I'll be passing out. I'd like to have it
distributed to the Commissioners.
Nationally, Walmart employs 1.4 million
employees, and we subsidize with our taxes to the point
of $6.2 billion every year. And that's things like
Medicaid, food stamps. But looking at just California
alone, there are over 80,400 employees of Walmart in
California.
California taxpayers pay almost $1.4 billion
for food stamps a year and $355 million in MediCal and
such. we're paying, as California taxpayers, almost
$2 billion a year to subsidize Walmart and what they're
doing.
And the reason they're doing that, not only
low wages, but underemploying their employees, is so
that they're not eligible for the benefits that Walmart

CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: No? Okay.
Then you must be Joy.
(No response)
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: No?
And Myrna?
Okay. Please good right ahead.
MYRNA SPIEGLER: I am Myrna Spiegler, and I
live in the County of Sonoma. I don't live within the
city limits -- you can't hear me? Okay.
I'm Myrna Spiegler, and I live in the County
of Sonoma, not within any city limits.
The North Bay Jobs With Justice is part of
a broader collation that opposes the proposed Walmart
Supercenter Project.
I want to address the issue of wages in the
proposed supercenter and the impact of low wages on
workers in local and state government.
The supercenter says they will employ 400
employees. The average hourly wage for Walmart
employees was $8.81 in 2013. This wage level is well
below the living wage for Sonoma County, at $20.51 an
hour.
That was circulated by the California Budget
Project. And that rate enables two parents working
full-time to support two children and to pay for
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 64

housing, food, healthcare, transportation, and
child care. And that would be a total annual income
from families of $85,000.
Clearly, Walmart employees are not making that
much money. The income for a full-time Walmart worker
at the average hourly wage, employed 52 weeks a year and
32 hours a week -- that's considered full-time by
Walmart -- is only $15,576.
Most Walmart workers are part of the working
poor. The Census Bureau says the working poor is
individuals and families with one member with reportedly
[sic] employed income in the last year; a total income
from a family of four, which is below 200 percent of the
federal poverty level.
So, that means that these people are eligible
for the benefits that we were talking about --
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Go ahead and finish your
statement.
MYRNA SPIEGLER: -- the benefits that are
being supplied by the government and our social
networks.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you. Thank you
very much.
BEN BOYCE: My name is Ben Boyce -- I was
actually Number 13. I didn't get called earlier.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 65
work at Walmart or the people who, you know, want to
shop there, but we do not want to see this business
model become entrenched any further than it already is
It's a bad trend that we want to reverse.
And, in conclusion, I'd like to say that I
think it would be incumbent upon the Commission to
consider revisiting the market analysis in the EIR,
which is dated back to the depths of the recession.
It's much different market conditions now.
And at the very least, that should be revisited, so we
have a more -- a better picture of what the actual
impacts would be.
Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you. Thank you
very much.
I have 7:34, so we'll recess for 15 minutes
and return.

CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: We called your name.

BEN BOYCE: NO.
I just went outside to get --
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Why don't you do it
right now then.
BEN BOYCE: My name is Ben Boyce. I'm a
graduate of Sonoma State Masters of Public
Administration program. I serve as the secretary
for the Accountable Development Coalition, and I'm a
long-time member of the Living Wage Coalition.
And in my brief two minutes here, I would like
to explain -- or, frame to people why there's such a
persistent opposition to Walmart expansion in many
locations, because our biggest issue is with the
business model that Walmart is -- by which Walmart has
actually driven down wage standards in the
United States, particularly in the retail sector.
It is a quantifiable fact that Walmart's
business model is essentially parasitical on the public
sector health and welfare services. We are subsidizing
Walmart through our tax money, so they can offer these
low wages to their employees. And that's what we're
about.
I have no issue with the many good people who
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 66
please, and Tina Hansen -Keys.
Thank you. Please tell us your name and where
you live.
BARBARA GIORDANO: My name is Barbara
Giordano, and I am a resident of Rohnert Park, but I
have to say, I'd be very concerned if I lived outside of
Rohnert Park, because Walmart expects to make use of a
whole bunch of us customers, way beyond the confines of
Rohnert Park. Anyway, I wish to make this argument
against the plan.
The proposed 170,000 square foot Walmart
Supercenter is located about a mile and a half from the
site of the planned City of Rohnert Park SMART Train
Station.
The Association of Bay Area Governments and
2006 state legislation, AB -32, mandate that counties and
cities encourage smart growth and transit -oriented
development with good jobs and higher density housing
located nearby mass transit hubs and stations accessible
by bike and pedestrians.
However, the hourly -- the average hourly wage
at the supercenter will be $8.81 an hour, and the annual
income for a full-time Walmart worker employed 52 weeks
a year and 32 hours a week, which is considered
full-time by Walmart, will be only $15,576.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 68
1

Most of the workers at the Walmart will be the
working poor and will not be able to afford to live in
the community where they work and access mass transit
like the SMART Train.
The Press Democrat recently reported
that average rents have soared by 13 percent over the
last year to $1,521 a month for the typical two-bedroom
apartment, and the rental market is now extremely tight.
Most workers at the supercenter will drive to
more affordable housing markets in other cities and
counties. There is a growing mismatch between jobs and
housing in the region, given the stagnation of wages and
the relative rise of housing costs.
The supercenter is not good planning in regard
to locating grocery stores convenient to neighborhoods,
nor will the supercenter promote smart, compact, and
equitable growth, or a living wage.
I urge you to deny the Project.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you very much.
Kelly?
KELLY SCULLION: Good evening, Honorable
Planning Commission. My name is Kelly Scullion. I
am the new director of the Rohnert Park
Chamber of Commerce, and at the Chamber of Commerce, our
mission is to create an environment in Rohnert Park in
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 69
group in the county, with over 7,000 members, many of
whom live in Rohnert Park, and we are opposed to the
Walmart for various reasons that people have stated, in
terms of the environment, in terms of equity, subsidies
that the Government would be obliged to provide.
But I'd like to pick up on something that
Dr. Luttmann said about really having an open mind,
because we canvassed this community in 2010 and got
2,500 signatures of people opposed to the Walmart. And
so, what I take away from that is, this really is a very
divided community, and still is. So, I would really
suggest that you really listen to what people are
saying.
I would also like to pick up on something else
that Dr. Luttmann alluded to in an article he wrote
about the -- which I had read -- in Mexico about the
bribery scandal, which was really a defacement of one of
the Great Pyramids in that area.
And, you know, the immigrants from
Central America and Mexico, including my wife who is
from Costa Rica -- that's the fastest growing population
in this county. And I don't think that's really very
cool. It seems to me that's kind of like an Ugly
American Award that Walmart had there. So, I think
that's something to be very sensitive on in this

which businesses can thrive economically, socially, and
culturally, while improving the quality of life in the
community.
As a local Chamber member, Walmart has
continually proven themselves to be a trusted partner we
can rely on in our community, actively engaged with
local charitable organizations and important civic
causes.
I have seen firsthand their charitable and
generous donations to anyone who comes and says, Please,
we have this cause, We have something that we would like
a donation for.
And as -- we do support Walmart's remodel
plans and hope you vote to reapprove the Walmart
proposal.
Thank you.

And I just wanted to read that for you.
Thank you for your comments.

I was gonna speak to the talking points, but I
think that we all know this whole dog and pony show.
It's like, again, I'm a little weary this week.
And I think the people here know about
Walmart. I think you've heard about Walmart; you know
what they do. And I was gratified to hear some of the
people speak up about workers' wages and benefits and
having a say at their job and what that means.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 73

Today, in my office, I had 26 shining, smiling
faces, because they all had jobs. It was their first
day of orientation, and just to see the relief on some
of their faces because they have a job now... They've
been looking for a long time.
We work with students that have to go around
their hours. We work with people that are on Social
Security and can make a -- only can make a limited
amount of money. So, we work with those hours.
If we can get 85 more people to work and off
of the system, well, wouldn't that be just -- I mean,
for me, that would be great. It would be heartwarming,

But, certainly, you also know how Walmart
pollutes. You also know that -- about the workers in
Bangladesh who were crushed making cheap plastic and
clothing for Walmart. You know about the pollution that
walmart has left everywhere. You know about the pain
Walmart causes. You know this.
And, basically, you're either going to make it
okay for yourself to continue to support a really
soul -crushing company that is everything -- almost
everything that is wrong with our country and our
culture right now, or you're not.
You're either going to stand up and say you
get it; you see that this is what's wrong with the
United States: People have to work three or four
different jobs to make it, don't get to spend time their
kids; and you're going to see the trashing that they do
to the environment everywhere they go.
And if you choose to make it okay for yourself
in the short run, because you want that money, there's
really nothing anybody here can say. And you all have
to live with yourselves, and we all have to live
with the consequences.
So, I'm sorry I went off my points, but I just
had to keep it real, because this week has been a very
tough one in this county, and I think we have to stop
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 74
just because they know that now they have a place to go
and a home to go to.
Walmart is a big family, and they support each
other. when one of us is in trouble, all of us come to
their sides. And I just think it's a shame that people
just keep throwing it out there that -- you know, we
wouldn't be working there for 20 years if it wasn't any
good.
So, there's a lot of places that we can choose
to work and we choose not to work. And we choose to
stay there. And I love the Walmart family.
Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you very much.
Tina Hansen -Keys, please.
TINA HANSEN-KEYS: Hi. I'm Tina Hansen -Keys.
I live in Rohnert Park, and I've been in the community
since '71.
I've been at Walmart since day one, almost 23
years now. Walmart is not just the four walls; it is
very much the community. I've watched kids growing up
through a walmart career, and they're now having their
children.
Walmart actually has groups of people that
come and meet, and they walk the Walmart aisles as a
group, as exercise. My neighbors go there during the
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 76
wintertime and when it's too hot to exercise. So, it's
not just part of, you know, shopping. It's -- people
get together at McDonald's and have their coffee and all
that.
walmart donates a lot to the community. I'm
part of the donation for the food. And every month, we
donate $2,000 of food. with the expansion, that would
actually donate more profit to the community for
the food banks.
We donate our clothing. We donate different
things throughout the four quarters that we have. We
donate $3,000 through a web site that we do for
different charities that you need. People come in and
ask for gift cards, all this stuff.
So, Walmart is not just shopping and trying to
get money. We're actually out there doing community
work. We're not always with our signs, saying, We're
Walmart, but we're out there as a group, helping out the
community.
So, thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you very much.
I'd like to call the next eight speakers up.
Catherine Sullivan -- oh, I'm sorry.
Did you have a speaker card and we didn't call
your name?
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 77
fixed incomes, and Walmart can aid, you know, in their
households.
I'm very excited to be a part of the
Neighborhood Market, because it's a full-service grocery
store. I know that people are just waiting, and they're
biding for this little expansion of ours to offer
groceries.
Again, I also believe that the customer base
in the county -- not just Rohnert Park, but in the
county, can support all the grocery stores.
We will always be -- we will always have the
largest target on our back, because we are the largest
retailer in the world. There are reasons why we are,
and I appreciate being a part of this company. And I
hope that you can understand and think about everybody,
you know, in consideration -- how it will help
everybody.
That's all I wanted to say. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you very much.
I'd like to call up Catherine Sullivan, Connie

your -- there you are.
JOY RHODE: I'm sorry.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: No.
Go right ahead, please. Hi, Joy.
JOY RHODE: Hello, Council.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: It's not Council; it's
the Commission.
JOY RHODE: Thank you very much for having
me -- letting me speak.
I am an associate of Walmart. I have been
with them, collectively, 15 years. This is my third
time back to 1755, the store that we want to expand to a
supercenter. I have been -- I've just been promoted to
the Neighborhood Market that we will be opening
October 1st, in the back of -- on Golf Course Drive.
Walmart is -- to me, it's -- it's a wonderful
company. It's a good family company. I believe -- my
belief is that a supercenter would definitely benefit
Rohnert Park and the areas, the county, because people
need affordable merchandise. A lot of people are on
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 78
store manager at the Rohnert Park Walmart that we are
looking to expand.
I actually first visited Sonoma County while I
was on my honeymoon in May of 2013, and actually fell in
love with the community and knew that this was a
community that my husband and I wanted to relocate to.
When I saw the position for the store manager
at the Rohnert Park store opened (sic], I was one of the
first applicants in, because that was going to afford me
the opportunity to come into this area. And I'm so glad
I did.
Everyone here has been so nice and welcoming,
and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the
community and the neighbors and friends that we are
making.
I first started my career 12 years ago, as a
holiday weekend cashier. It was just a job. I needed
extra money for Christmas for my kids. And from that
point, I decided, Okay, well, let's explore what this
Walmart career can mean for me.
I became a full-time associate six months
after I had gotten started as a supervisor. I worked my
way through the ranks as an hourly supervisor and was
promoted to assistant manager. I have been in the
salaried manager position for 7 of the 12 years that
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 80
1
2
3
4
I've been with the company.
And the thing I love most about the company is
the opportunity that it affords every single one of our
associates. It's not uncommon for our management team
to be promoted from within the ranks. The store manager
at the store I came from started as a cart pusher,
part-time.
So, it's throughout Walmart's history that we
promote from within. And the opportunity has afforded
itself based on what the individual wants to see, as far
as their career with Walmart, not just who -- not
just -- I have the pleasure of leading 276 associates in
the Rohnert Park store --
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: I'm afraid your time is
up. Thank you.
Connie, please. Welcome.
CONNIE ROBESON: Hi. My name is Connie
Robeson, and I've lived in Rohnert Park for almost a
quarter of a century. Pretty impressive, eh?
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Yes.
CONNIE ROBESON: Well, I'm against the
expansion. I think that Walmart is kind of a -- it's a
blight on our cityscape. They've already got the store
over at Mountain Shadows.
Why do they need more -- I mean, how much do
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 81
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you.
George Niles, please.
GEORGE NILES: Thank you.
My name is George Niles. I'm in Santa Rosa.
I think it's important to let you know that I am a
former Walmart employee. I started with Walmart in
2001. I was there till 2013.
They hired me. I was 62 years old at the
time, in terrible health.
Guess what? I was on their group insurance.
Yes, I had sick leave. Yes, my wage, it wasn't -- it
was okay. It wasn't that bad. I hear 13,000; I was
around 30—
So, they even offered me to go into
management. Because of my health, I didn't want to go
into management, because I'm in poor health. My monthly
prescriptions are $2,000 a month. Guess who took care
of most of that? walmart's group insurance.
I am now 75 years old, and I support Walmart
100 percent, and I ask you to give them consideration,
because some of the stuff I heard tonight, I have great
difficulty listening to.
Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you. And you look
great for 75, by the way.

they need? That's the big question. They want more and
more. They're insatiable.
Also, I'm against their business practices in
terms of exploiting people in other countries because
they outsource the manufacturing. And as one speaker
brought up earlier, 1,100 people were crushed at the
Rana factory in Bangladesh.
And I think those people need to be mentioned,
because that's part of their business practice, to get
it cheap. Don't care about the circumstances in which
they work. Just get it cheap, cheap -- cheap as they
can.
And then the other thing is, I believe that
Walmart -- part of their business model is getting
corporate welfare, because they rely on our social
services system to -- because they pay their employees
so little, they have to rely on that, the social
services, to get health and additional food and all
that. It's corporate welfare.
Why are they allowed to get this corporate
welfare -- I think that's a really big question -- when
they have -- I think they're the wealthiest family and
the wealthiest company in the world. That's a big
question.
So, that's it. Thank you.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 82
Scot, please. Good evening, sir.
SCOT STEGEMAN: Thank you. I just want to
make a couple points.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Sure. Tell us where
you're from.
SCOT STEGEMAN: Sure. Scot Stegeman.
Sebastopol.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you, sir.
SCOT STEGEMAN: I have some concerns not about
Walmart, per se, itself, but about the environmental
documents that are coming along with it, specifically,
two things. One was mentioned, which is the economic
implications.
The Original EIR had an enormous market share
analysis, primary and secondary market areas, reaching
all the way down to the south end of Santa Rosa and the
north end of Petaluma. And it was an enormous effort to
determine what was going to happen economically.
The EIR you have before you now ignores that
entirely. There is not a single word about market share
outside of Rohnert Park itself.
That is a huge, gaping hole in your
information, because those sorts issues drive jobs.
They drive traffic. They drive where people shop. And
all of that is what you're dealing with now.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 84
Secondly, the baseline for the Project is
what -- how the world stood the instant that the Project
began moving forward. The Staff Report and the EIR says
that the City determined that since then, in that five
years, there has only been four projects that had to be
added to the list, which is crazy, because during that
interval, the City has been pumping residential and
commercial projects through the State's CEQA
clearinghouse. On a regular basis, an enormous number
of units are moving through. These are -- these are not
built. They don't have to be built to be categorized in
that process.
So, what's happening is, it looks like that
there's not a lot of activity going on, but all of that
activity, in fact, needs to be reflected, as well,
in the -- in this EIR, because what you've got is a
tremendous amount of activity that's not reflected
in the document.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: I'm afraid I have to cut
you off. Thank you very much, sir. I apologize.
Linda, please, you're next. Welcome.
LINDA PARK: I'm Linda Park, and I live at
1265 Camino Coronado in Rohnert Park. I'm a mental
health clinician and have been working in Rohnert Park
for over 40 years, seeing patients -- psychotherapy,
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 85
benefits as they used to, or maybe to lower their prices
or go out of business.
So, I'm very concerned about that.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you very much.
Greg, please.
GREG MONROE: Good evening. How you doing?
First of all, I want to say, wow, and thank
you, and sorry for y'all. Thank you, because y'all guys
get the opportunity to make the decision. Sorry for
you, because you've got to hear some of the things I've
listened to.
I wasn't going to speak, but I chose to speak
because of my opportunity with Walmart.
Just to let you know, my name is Greg Monroe.
I'm retired military.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: You live where?
GREG MONROE: I live in Santa Rosa.
I didn't need Walmart. I chose Walmart. I
was at a job that I was making really good money, but I
chose Walmart, just like everybody that comes into any
company, because of the opportunities. It's not because
of the amount of money you make; it's because of the
opportunity you've got to grow.
As you heard, the store manager -- she started
off as a cashier, and now she's a store manager. So,

family counseling.
My experience with people who come work at
Walmart is, they don't work enough hours to qualify for
health insurance, or if they do, they can't afford to
buy the policy, or if they buy the policy, it is very
poor.
My main concern is mental health, which we
hear constantly about how the nation has to provide
better mental health or we're going to keep seeing what
we're seeing, which is very rageful, angry, deprived
people acting out in various ways.
And so, in some funny way, I have subsidized,
over the years Walmart employees, as well as some other
retail employees, because their retail employees --
employers do the same thing. They keep the hours low so
people don't qualify for healthcare.
Now they can get the Affordable Healthcare
Act. I just got one of those people, and they were
allowed three mental health visits, and then they had to
meet a $6,000 deductible, which is impossible on the
income of $15,000, average, a year.
So, what I also see is Raley's, or places like
that, beginning to fight to lower their benefits and
lower their wages, hiring new people at lower wages as a
compromise with the unions, providing not as good a
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 86
it's an opportunity.
Just like myself, I came into Walmart
because of the opportunity. I came in as an assistant
manager, which is a salaried member, which means I got
the opportunity, just like anyone else, to move up if I
choose to. If I choose not to, then I won't.
But it's an opportunity. It's not about the
money all the time. And all I'm hearing today is about
money, money, money.
Everyone in here, the minimum wage is not set
by Walmart. The minimum wage is set by the state.
Walmart pays its employees, which is
associates, by minimum wage. And you notice we say
"associates", we don't say "employees." And that's
something because of the history of Walmart. If you
know what the history is, it's because Sam Walton
traveled across the country, and he chose to call his
people "associates," not "employees," because of the
partnership.
Walmart, I've heard a lot about the education.
We do a lot about -- for the schools. We give a lot
back. Just like you hear people talking about grants
and everything else.
Also, if you know anything about Walmart,
Walmart launched a program last year about hiring some
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 88
of the military after they get out.
So, there's a lot of things about Walmart, and
all I'm hearing about is the negative, negative,
negative.
Just a few minutes ago, I had Mr. Bennett
approach me and ask me have I been visiting the
casino -- which Mr. Bennett was up here talking
earlier -- have I visited a casino, and I'm not -- it's
important about the employees, not the company.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: I'm afraid I'm going to
have to cut you off.
GREG MONROE: Yeah, I know. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you for your
service.
GREG MONROE: Absolutely. Thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Chris, please.
CHRIS SIMMONS: My name is Chris Simmons.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: More importantly, who is
this?
CHRIS SIMMONS: This is Jamie (Indicating).
We call her the "Peanut."
My name is Chris Simmons. I have lived in
Rohnert Park since 2006. I love the city. I've been an
employee at Walmart since 2008. Started off as a bike
assembler. And I also held another job with a local
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 89
situation.
And just to let people know, too, when I did
lose my job -- and I'm not going to say the name of the
company -- we did try to apply for assistance, and we
didn't qualify, because we made too much.
So, I just want to pinpoint that out. And the
money that I do earn from Walmart, I can pay the rents
here in Rohnert Park. I do go shopping at Safeway, the
99 Cents Store, Food Maxx, and other places, and Target
too.
So, thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you, sir. And
thanks to little Peanut as well.
Lani, you're in the hot seat.
LANI ERICKSON: Thank you.
My name Lani Erickson. I live at 655
Enterprise Drive in Rohnert Park. I've lived there for
the past three -and -a -half years.
I've worked at Walmart for the past seven
years. I transferred here three -and -a -half years ago
and have worked here my whole time here in Rohnert Park.
I just wanted to speak on the subject of
Walmart paying its employees a living wage.
In the three -and -a -half years I've worked
here, three of them have been -- I've been putting

company that recently left Rohnert Park.
I was laid off in 2011. Both my wife and I
worked for Walmart, and because of Walmart, we have been
able to stay in Rohnert Park, live, and my kids to go to
the schools, which, I think, have been the best for my
kids.
I want to point out, too, that my wife and I
don't just shop at Walmart -- and we live -- we're going
to be living right across the street from the new
marketplace -- but we also shop at other stores here.
So, the money that I earn at Walmart also supports other
businesses within Rohnert Park. I just went to Little
Caesars tonight for dinner, to make it quick for the
kids.
But if it wasn't for Walmart, my family and I
would be out of a lot of things. We would have had to
move out of Rohnert Park. We would have had to move
into areas that, otherwise, I wouldn't live in.
And, you know, I'm -- I'm proud of working for
Walmart. I have a choice to leave. I haven't left,
because, you know, I'm moving up.
I got promoted to customer service manager,
and then promoted to department manager. I'm looking
on -- for my way up, you know. And if it wasn't for
them, you know, like I said, we would have been in a bad
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 90
myself through school for those last -- for the last
three years. I'm both a full-time employee and
full-time student, and I've had nothing but wonderful
cooperation from our personnel, who have been working
with my school schedule wonderfully.
They could have easily put me to part-time, as
during the school seasons, sometime I have to take
vacation just to make sure that I'm getting enough time
in on my schoolwork. I don't want to miss any. But
they do everything they can to keep me full-time so I
can keep full benefits. They've never asked if I could
go to part-time.
I was very nervous about coming up. I wasn't
planning on speaking, but the talk about the benefits
just made me rather angry.
I'm one of the few students I know in my
school who have benefits or who have -- who do not live
with the constant fear of, if they get sick, what are
they going to do, what are they going to do with
themselves if something goes wrong.
And I don't have to worry about that. If I
get sick, I'm covered. I have full benefits, and I'm
very grateful to Walmart for that.
And just -- thank you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you very much.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 92
So, I'd like to give a last call here to Kandy
Messner or Ray Messner or Christine Wright or Dmitria
Pickard or Brewster.
(No response)
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay. They are not
present, but their remarks will be entered into the
record.
And at this point, I'd like to give
Ms. Davidoff an opportunity to come up and address any
of those public comments.
You said you would like to have that
opportunity, and I will afford you that.
MS. DAVIDOFF: Thank you. I don't think we
have any further comments.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay. Fantastic.
(Whereupon the Public Comments
concluded at 8:25 p.m.)
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: We're going to need to
take a little bit of a break, I believe, just a short
break.
How short a break, Marilyn?
Five minutes?
INT. DIR. OF DEV. SVCS. PONTON: 15 --

proposed expansion is consistent with City of
Rohnert Park's General Plan.
Even now, one and two neighborhoods coming on
line in the west side of Rohnert Park are neighborhoods
that will need grocery stores and services. There are
other businesses operating at an expanded time frame,
where those workers do need grocery stores and services.
So, with that, I'll turn it over to Grant --
excuse me for a moment.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: He's not here.
INT. DIR. OF DEV. SVCS. PONTON: He's on his
way. So, just for a moment, we'll touch on a few of the
items that were brought up related to transportation and
other issues.
So, Grant, I'll turn it over to you.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Grant, you're in the hot
seat
MR. GRUBER: Sorry about that.

read into the record. And we'll come back in exactly 15
minutes.
(Off the record from 8:25 p.m.
until 8:45 p.m.)
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay. Welcome back.
We'd like to reconvene.
We'll start off with comments from Staff, and
then we'll move to the Commissioners.
STAFF COMMENTS AFTER PUBLIC HEARING
INT. DIR. OF DEV. SVCS. PONTON: Thank you,
Chair.
Tonight we heard a number of questions and
comments. Staff would like to take this opportunity to
touch on a few and respond. And we thank the public and
the concerned residents for coming out. So, we would
like to respond to some of those topics that were
brought up this evening.
Briefly, the question of General Plan
consistency was raised. Staff has found in our studies
and review of this policy and the General Plan that the
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 94
Draft EIR reexamine the economic urban decay?
And the reason is, the trial court identified
two particular topics that needed to be reexamined. And
so, CEQA allows EIRs to be limited to very specific
issues. That's the reason why.
I should note the trial court did not make any
ruling on the Urban Decay Study, so it's really
outside the scope of the court decision. So, the City
did not need to reexamine those conclusions.
And, again, as Marilyn mentioned in her staff
presentation, the findings of the Urban Decay Study
still remain valid too.
There was a statement made that, you know,
only four specific baseline conditions were reexamined
in the Partially Recirculated Draft EIR.
You may recall those were about the new
interchange at U.S. 101/Golf Course Drive West, the
relocation of the SMART Station, the widening of Golf
Course West Drive as part of the casino, and, of
course, the development of the casino and some of these
other projects in the Wilfred-Dowdell Specific Plan
area.
The reason those four subjects were
reexamined -- and by the way, they were found not to
have any material bearing on the conclusions of the
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 95 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 96
Partially Recirculated Draft EIR -- was because they
were most germane and relevant to those topics. And,
again, those two topics were Transportation Demand
Management and the Cumulative Roadway Noise Analysis.
You know, a land use development project on
the other side of town would not have any bearing on
those conclusions; thus, it was not included in that
list of items.
There was a comment about greenhouse gases. I
just want to note that was one of the issues the
trial court reviewed and did uphold the adequacy of.
So, again, we did not reexamine greenhouse gas
emissions.
I would like to note we received a letter
dated August 13th from the Law Firm of
M.R Wolfe & Associates. The letter made several points.
Several of these items were discussed previously in the
questioning by Commissioner Borba.
I would just like to note for the record that
one of the first claims in the letter was that the
Partially Recirculated Draft EIR did not do a proper
analysis of the cumulative noise impacts.
And, again, this was a comment that was
previously made by Mr. Wolfe and was previously
addressed at length in the Partially Recirculated
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 97
INT. DIR. OF DEV. SVCS. PONTON: Not at this
time
COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS & COMMENTS AFTER PUBLIC HEARING
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay.
Commissioner Borba, would you like to ask any
questions or make may comments?
COMMISSIONER BORBA: I guess I have a question
of Counsel again.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: Grant referenced the
Court's order again, and specifically told us that the
Court's order did not require us to look at economic
decay as part of the analysis.
And you're the attorney, so, I mean, is that
consistent with your view?
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: Yes.
The Court really only looked at -- sent us
back to address two issues, and those are the ones we
we've talked about several times tonight: The
Transportation Demand Management Measures that were
raised in a comment letter that the Court felt we hadn't
adequately addressed; and the Analysis of Cumulative

Final EIR, beginning on page 229, continuing through
230. If you'd like to read it, you can refer to those
pages.
And, then, finally, in same letter, Mr. Wolfe
reiterates a comment he originally made back in February
about where should -- When measuring noise impacts,
where should it be? Should it be at the property line,
or should it be at the building facade?
Again, this is discussed at great length here
in the Final EIR. For the record, the page numbers are
page 2-38 through 2-43.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: And what was that
determination?
Was it at the property line, or was it at the
building, at the facade?
MR. GRUBER: Well, we used the building
facade.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay.
MR. GRUBER: But for the sake of argument, we
also looked at the property line, and there's no
difference in any conclusions.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay. Thank you.
MR. GRUBER: And that concludes my comments.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Will any of the other
staff like to make any comments, Marilyn?
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 98
Noise Impacts, which the Court felt we hadn't done in
the right way.
So, we did both of those things that the Court
requested, but the urban decay issue was not part of
what the Court found inadequate about the EIR.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: So, would it be improper
of us to address that or...
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: It's not
within the scope of what is being addressed by the
Partially Recirculated documents, so it's really not in
front of the Commission tonight.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: But doesn't it also
require us to adopt a Statement of Overriding Conditions
[sic] ?
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: Not as to
urban decay type impacts. They're really just --
COMMISSIONER BORBA: Noise and traffic?
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: Yes. I would
really -- I would defer to Grant for the specifics of
what they are. There were four issues. I believe they
revolve around noise and traffic at four intersections.
MR. GRUBER: We had a slide at the
presentation that listed -- they're all
transportation -related impacts. Noise was found to be
less significant.

CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Would you like to go

COMMISSIONER BORBA: No. That's okay. I

COMMISSIONER ADAMS: Excuse me, Mr. Chairman.
I would like to have him go back to that slide. And I
believe Commissioner Haydon would as well.
COMMISSIONER HAYDON: I have a comment.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Well, let's go back to
the slide, and we'll let John finish his comments while
we move on to something else.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: I haven't made a comment.
I'm asking questions of Staff.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay. All right. So,
let's just hold that slide right now.
And, then, John, why don't you go ahead and
continue, and then when we get to Susan, we'll go back
to the slide.
Go ahead, John.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: NO.
Again, I'm just asking questions of staff, not
making comments, but my question was answered by the
City Attorney.

at the slide.
But Ms. Adams?
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay. Cool.
COMMISSIONER ADAMS: Is this the slide we saw
before?
MR. GRUBER: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER ADAMS: I'm going to defer to
Commissioner Haydon.
COMMISSIONER HAYDON: And I don't have a
question, necessarily, on the items on the slide. I
think I'm clear that those are identification of
unacceptable impacts as part of the EIR analysis.
I guess my question, comment, consternation is
with regard to the Statement of Overriding
Considerations and our purview in looking at the balance
of both the listing identification of the impacts and
making a series of considerations that are benefits.
And is the "Urban Decay or Other Issues" still
part of that balance?
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: To the extent
that your question is directed at significant and
unavoidable impacts, urban decay is not among the four
that are listed on the slide. These are the significant
and unavoidable impacts that would be at issue there.
COMMISSIONER HAYDON: Correct.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 101 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 102
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: Also, urban
decay was not part of what the Court found inadequate
about the EIR. It's really outside the scope of
what the EIR was set to address and outside the scope of
what the Court found inadequate.
So, I hope that answers your question.
COMMISSIONER HAYDON: That does. Thank you.
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY VISICK: I did want to
add one other detail. There was a point raised in
one of the comment letters that I didn't want to get
lost here -- also raised by Mr. Wolfe.
He suggested that additional analysis that was
included in Appendix M to the Partially Recirculated
Final Environmental Impact Report -- this is, the
analysis that shows that the noise results would be the
same whether they were measured at the facade of the
building or measured at the property lane -- he argued
that was information that should, itself, be
recirculated for public comment and review.
CEQA really limits the information that needs
to be recirculated to significant, new information. And
so, here, all that analysis does is bolster the
conclusions in the EIR and affirm that there would be no
significant impact if it had been measured at the
property line.

It doesn't reveal a new, significant impact.
it doesn't result in the imposition of a new mitigation
measure. It's not the type of information that needs to
be recirculated for public review.
So, I just wanted to make sure we got that on
the record as well.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay.
Do you want to resume?
COMMISSIONER BORBA: No,
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Susan?
COMMISSIONER ADAMS: No.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Susan?
COMMISSIONER HAYDON: No, not at this time.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Vice -chair?
COMMISSIONER BLANQUIE: Yeah. No. My
question was about urban decay, and I think we've
examined that pretty carefully, so...
(Audience requests repeat of comment
into microphone.)
COMMISSIONER BLANQUIE: I said, my question,
if I had one, was about urban decay, and that's been
adequately explored just in these past several minutes,
of course. So, I don't have any further questions than
that.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay. And neither does
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 104
the Chair.
Okay. So, at this point, do we want to move
forward and move toward the Resolutions?
The Chair will entertain a motion for the
first resolution. We need to take these in order.
COMMISSIONER BORBA: I probably want to make
comments first.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay. Please.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS PRIOR TO VOTE
COMMISSIONER BORBA: This is a very -- this is
a very emotional issue in our community, I think, just
as it is in every community in America, because of the
disparity between people that earn more wages versus
people that earn less, and benefits, and the impact on
society. That's an important debate.
What I -- I remember the last time this was
here, suggesting to Walmart that the submission of it at
that time was premature, that it had to go back for
further public review. And I was concerned about the
traffic studies -- not as much about the noise at this
point, but mainly about the traffic studies and the
impact.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 105
As a volunteer member of the Planning
Commission here in the City of Rohnert Park, I am very
committed to the principle of protecting the right of
every citizen and business owner who wants to legally
and lawfully expand their business here in Rohnert Park.
In order to protect ourselves, we have to
protect others, even if we don't like their business
model, because if we don't protect the rights of
others, the next person or project who will be denied a
permit is likely your own.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Thank you.
Commissioner Haydon.
COMMISSIONER HAYDON: Thank you.
I'd like to acknowledge and recognize the body
of work and the analysis that has been prepared and
before us tonight to examine, and all of the public
comments received in writing and verbally, and for your
time and attention to this matter.
I have been personally involved in meeting
with Walmart staff, with the new neighborhood store
coming in my neighborhood, and trying to make it the
best store that it can be.
Yeah. This is tough to be so restricted,
however, I'd like to speak to the EIR and the impacts.

And Walmart did put it back through, and I
applaud that. You know, I don't applaud many of the
labor practices that we read about and hear about, but I
do applaud the submission of that for further review and
public comment.
I do note that Walmart's opening up the other
store in Rohnert Park. I am worried about market
competition with two stores, but I'm told that that's
not an issue for us to consider tonight, that our review
is limited to whether the additional Environmental
Review included in the PRFEIR complies with CEQA.
So, that's just the analysis of the traffic
and the noise. And, essentially, I'm being told nothing
further.
I do appreciate the staff, with their comments
on that, in giving us this Supplemental Report. And I
have not made up my mind, and I really won't until
there's a motion.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay.
Commissioner Adams?
COMMISSIONER ADAMS: After reviewing the
Recirculated EIR and listening to comments this evening,
I find the additional environmental review performed in
responses to the Court's direction satisfies the City's
obligation under CEQA.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 106
And it's my feeling that the benefits that are stated
in the Statement of Overriding Considerations do not
outweigh the list of unavoidable and unacceptable
impacts to traffic that our community and our region is
worthy of. I don't -- I don't see the true balance
there.
And it's our fundamental role to advise
broadly on these matters of planning and CEQA
compliance. I see that, you know, Benefits Number 3
through 10 really don't stand alone to outweigh these
impacts that would be borne on our community.
And I feel that -- this may be very
oversimplified -- but Walmart has expanded, is expanding
in the neighborhood format. I'm concerned about the
impacts of the super -sizing of the existing footprint.
And I support the remodeling and the upgrades,
and think that that -- those plans are very attractive.
So, those are my remarks this evening.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay. Thank you.
Commission Blanquie?
COMMISSIONER BLANQUIE: Yeah. I have
evaluated, to the best of my ability, all the written
materials to include the staff environmental reports,
legal counsel's reports, the public comments, and to
include even the Walmart employees.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 107 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 108
And I see very clearly how divisive this is
for our community, and the responsibility placed before
us at this juncture, but I support the Statement of
Overriding Conditions [sic], and I think the mitigation
alternatives outlined have been carefully weighed,
measured, and presented.
So, I'm leaning that way.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay. Thank you.
I would concur with Commissioner Adams, her
sentiments. I think that the expansion of Walmart from
130,000 square feet for an additional 35,000 square feet
is warranted.
I think it is -- I think the Consideration
[sic) of Overriding Concerns is accurate. I think
that -- legally, I think Walmart has a right to expand,
and I think it would be good for our town.
My feeling on the expansion at the Mountain
Shadows site is that, that shopping center was in
terrible need of an anchor, and I'm very pleased that
Walmart is providing that.
My experience, personally, like Commissioner
Haydon, in terms of Walmart having programs for healthy
food, for utilizing local people, has been positive.
So, it's been, honestly, my personal
experience -- and I've referred local people to Walmart,
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 109
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay.
Any discussion?
(No response)
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: All those in favor?
(Commissioners vote.)
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Opposed?
COMMISSIONER HAYDON: No.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay.
(Motion carries.)
COMMISSIONER ADAMS: And I'd like to make a
motion, Mr. Chairman, Planning Commission Resolution
2014-29, Resolution of the Planning Commission, City of
Rohnert Park, California, approving the Site Plan and
Architectural Review for a Walmart expansion located at
4625 Redwood Drive, Rohnert Park, California.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: We have a motion on the
table, and require a second.
COMMISSIONER BLANQUIE: Second.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Discussion?
(No response)
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: All those in favor?
COMMISSIONER ADAMS: I'd like to make one
comment.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Sure.

and I've watched it happen -- so, my experience would be
180 degrees to some of the comments that were made with
regards to the blight and dividing our community and the
"soul -crushing" comments, et cetera. I think that those
are inaccurate.
And I found Walmart to be a very good, giving
community partner, and I think that they have a right to
do what it is that they want to do. And that's about
all I have say on that.
So, at this point, I would like to ask the
Chair -- excuse me, the Commission if anyone would like
to put forward a motion.
COMMISSIONER ADAMS: Mr. Chairman, I'd like to
move that we approve Planning Commission Resolution No.
2014-28, resolution of the Planning Commission of the
City of Rohnert Park, California, certifying the Final
Environmental Impact Report and the Partially
Recirculated Final Environmental Impact Report, adopting
Statement of Overriding Consideration and Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program for Walmart expansion
located at 4625 Redwood Drive in Rohnert Park.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay. the Motion has
been made.
Do we have a second to that motion?
COMMISSIONER BLANQUIE: Second.
LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 110
didn't go into the looks of the place -- when they're
going to be finished with it.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: True.
COMMISSIONER ADAMS: We talked more about a
lot of other things. And I just want to make a comment
that I think -- I think the work that's been put into
that is very nicely done, and I appreciate Walmart
making those changes, especially taking care of the
landscaping in the surrounding areas.
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Yeah. I would agree
with that.
So, we have a motion on the table, and a
second.
And any more discussion?
(No response)
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: All those in favor?
(Commissioners vote.)
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Okay.
(Motion carries.)
CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Number 2 is unanimous.
And then we have the final resolution.
Would anyone like to make a motion?
COMMISSIONER ADAMS: I'd like to make a
motion, Planning Commission Resolution approving

CHAIRPERSON GIUDICE: Any discussion?

like to make a comment.
I don't believe we've ever had an applicant
come in and take less signage than they were allowed --
