Planning Commission Report
DATE: December 14, 2017
ITEM NO: 8.1
AGENDA TITLE: PLUP 17-0003
REQUEST: Consider a Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of a 24-hour elderly
residential care facility
LOCATION: 6084 Country Club Drive, APN 143-511-008
GP / ZONING: Low Density Residential/R-L: Low Density Residential
APPLICANT: Chris Townsend, Townsend Residential Design
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Resolution 2017-28 for a Conditional
Use Permit for the expansion of a 24-hour elderly residential care facility accommodating a
maximum of twelve ambulatory residents.
SUMMARY
The applicant has proposed expanding an existing small residential care facility into what is
considered a large residential care facility. Small residential care facilities (6 or fewer persons) is
a permitted use in the R -L: Low Density Residential District. Large residential care facilities (7
or more persons) require a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant has proposed a 976 square foot
expansion of the facility. It is located at the northeast corner of Country Club Drive and Emily
Avenue. Figure 1 on the following page shows the project's location.

Project Details
The expansion will entail an architecturally compatible addition to the rear of the structure as
well as the creation of additional off-street parking to accommodate guests and employees. The
expansion will enable the accommodation of 12 residents. There will be a total of two employees
onsite at all times. Residents are not permitted to own vehicles.

Building Elevations
The building looks residential in character and the front elevation would be maintained. An
architecturally compatible addition is planned for the rear of the structure that complies with
height, area, and setback limitations. It will match what currently exists in terms of form,
materials, and color.
Parking
The parking requirement for a residential care facility is one off-street parking space per 500
square feet of gross floor area. Seven off-street parking spaces are required for the expanded
facility as proposed. An additional parking space would be created in the front yard area by
widening the driveway area. The 50% front yard coverage limitation would be maintained.
Additional parking would be created by converting the side/rear driveway to a small, four -car
parking area. None of the parking improvements would require widening or changing the
existing curb cuts. Landscaping and fencing would screen most of the parking from Emily
Avenue and Country Club Drive and help to maintain the attractiveness of this parcel. There is a
Sonoma County Transit bus stop located in front of the parcel that is serviced by three routes: the
12, 14, and 54.

The site plan reflects changes to the property that will allow the expanded use to accommodate
the necessary access and parking while remaining generally residential in character. Screening in
terms of fencing and landscaping will minimize any visual intrusiveness of the additional off-
street parking. The two existing curb cuts will not be expanded or altered in any way.

PLANNING COMMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2017-28
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ROHNERT PARK, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT FOR A LARGE RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITY (MORE THAN SIX
PERSONS) AT 6084 COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE
(APN 143-511-008)
WHEREAS, the applicant, Chris Townsend of Townsend Residential Design, filed
Planning Application No. PLUP 17-0003 for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a large residential
care facility (more than six persons) at 6084 Country Club Drive (APN 143-511-008), in
accordance with the City of Rohnert Park Municipal Code;
WHEREAS, Planning Application No. PLUP 17-0003 was processed in the time and
manner prescribed by State and local law;
WHEREAS, on December 14, 2017, the Planning Commission reviewed Planning
Application No. PLUP 17-0003 during a scheduled and duly noticed public hearing at which time
interested persons had an opportunity to testify either in support of or opposition to the project;
and
WHEREAS, at the December 14, 2017, Planning Commission meeting, upon hearing
and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, the
Commission considered all the facts relating to Planning Application No. PLUP 17-0003;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROHNERT PARK DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct.
Section 2. Findin s. The Planning Commission, in approving Planning Application No.
PLUP 17-0003 makes the following findings, as required by Municipal Code section 17.25.014
(finding for conditional use permits), to wit:
A. That the proposed location of the conditional use is consistent with the objectives of the
zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located.
Criteria Satisfied. The expansion of the residential care facility is a use which is intended
for the Low Density Residential District. As stated in Section 17.06.080 (purpose of the
residential zoning districts), the intent of this district is to reserve area for a broad range
of dwelling types and densities, which meet the diverse economic and social needs of
residents consistent with sound standards of public health and safety. The residential care
facility is compatible with other surrounding uses and is the type of residential use
contemplated for the district.
B. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it
would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity, and that the
operation and maintenance of the conditional use will be compatible with the
surrounding uses.
Criteria Satisfied. The use is located in a low density residential area of the city on a
minor collector. The minimal parking and traffic it will generate will not be detrimental
to public health, safety, and welfare. Careful site design and consideration will insure that
the use and proposed modifications are compatible with the existing neighborhood. There
are no anticipated conflicts predicted to arise from the operation of a large (more than six
persons) residential care facility in this location.
C. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this
title.
Criteria Satisfied. The proposal has been reviewed for compliance with all applicable
provisions of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code including Section 17.06.030 Low Density
Residential District (a large residential care facility is allowed by Conditional Use
Permit), Section 17.10.020 Development Standards (proposed improvements comply
with all height, area, and setback requirements), and Section 17.16.030 Off Street Parking
Specific Requirements (seven parking spaces are required for this use based upon gross
square footage and landscaping is required).
Section 4. Environmental Clearance. This proposal is categorically exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class 1, Section 15301
minor addition to an existing structure, and as a Class 3, Section 15303 conversion of a small
structure.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission does hereby
approve Planning Application No. PLUP17-0003 subject to the following conditions:

City of Rohnert Park
Planning Commission Report
DATE: December 14, 2017
ITEM NO: 8.2
AGENDA TITLE: PLUP 17-0004
REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit to allow an increase in the Floor Area Ratio
(FAR) factor
LOCATION: 1516 Gary Court, APN 160-400-014
GP / ZONING: Low Density Residential/R-L: Low Density Residential
APPLICANT: Jerrod Marshall
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution 2017-29 for a Conditional
Use Permit to all an increase in the Floor Area Ratio factor for a residential property located
within the R -L Low Density district.
SUMMARY
The project site is located in the "G" residential section of Rohnert Park, east of Snyder Lane,
and is surrounded by single family residences to the north, south, east and west. The site
measures approximately 46 feet by 112+ for a total of approximately 5175 square feet. The
existing residence, including the garage, totals 1942 square feet.
Section 17.10.020 of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code provides for basic development standards
for all zoning districts in Rohnert Park. Currently, the Maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) factor
in a Low Density Residential district is 0.4. The applicant proposes to construct a 781 square
foot second floor addition that would bring the home's total size to 2723 square feet resulting in
a floor area ratio (FAR) of approximately 0.53.
Page 1
Figure 1 — Project Location
BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission may approve an increase of the F.A.R factor up to 0.55 by
Conditional Use Permit. The Municipal Code defines an F.A.R. as the "gross floor area of all
buildings on a lot divided by the building site area." Section 17.10.070 A of the Municipal Code
determines the maximum size of a home for a given single family residential lot using the
following equation:
600 sq. ft. + F.A.R. Factor (0.40) x Net lot Area
In applying this equation to the applicant's 5175 square foot lot, the maximum size of a home
that could be constructed on this lot is 2670 square feet, 53 square feet under the applicant's
proposed build out of 2723 square feet.
The following table illustrates the maximum F.A.R. that is allowed "by right" and maximum
F.A.R. that is allowed upon approval of a "Conditional Use Permit":

ANALYSIS
The Planning Commission may approve the Conditional Use Permit upon making the following
findings:
1. The maximum lot coverage for the site would not exceed that which is permitted for
the zoning district.
Criteria Satisfied: The maximum lot coverage in the "R -L" zoning district is 50 percent.
The lot coverage for this property will remain at/around 30 percent.
2. The required setbacks and height limitations of the zoning district can be met for all
structures.
Criteria Satisfied: The maximum building height currently allowed for the primary
residence by Section 17.10.020 of the zoning ordinance is 35'. The proposed second
story addition is well within this standard at 23'-5".

City of Rohnert Park
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: December 14, 2017
Agenda Item No: 8.3
Subject: Application No. PLDA17-0003 — Second Amendment to the Development
Agreement between the City of Rohnert Park and Penn Grove Mountain
LLC
Location: Southeast Specific Plan Area - northeast of the intersection at Bodway
Parkway and Valley House Drive
Applicant: Penn Grove Mountain LLC
BACKGROUND: The Sonoma Complex Fires, which took place in October 2017, destroyed
over 5,130 housing units in Sonoma County, exacerbating an already tight housing market. As
part of its response to this regional disaster, the City Council directed Development Services
staff to accelerate the construction of approved housing units to the maximum extent possible.
Phase 1 of the Southeast Specific Plan Area includes 105 residential lots, with all the site
improvements necessary to support the construction of housing units. However, the
Development Agreement (DA) between the Penn Grove Mountain LLC and the City limits the
project to 50 building permits until an in -tract water tank has been completed. Staff has analyzed
the City's water system and concluded that the existing system can support the buildout of Phase
1 of the Southeast Specific Plan Area without the water tank. Modifying the DA to allow Phase 1
to be completed without the water tank will allow 55 more residential units to be delivered to the
market within the next six to nine months. Construction of a water tank will take approximately
18 months, so the proposed DA amendment would allow for a meaningful acceleration of the
delivery of housing units.
ANALYSIS: The proposed second amendment modifies Section 4.12(C) of the DA to extend
the trigger for the water tank construction from the 501h residential building permit to the 106th
residential building permit. All other terms and conditions will remain the same. This will allow
the developer to complete its first phase of development, which has all the infrastructure to
support development, without additional delay.
Engineering staff has analyzed the City's water system and determined that it can support the
first phase of development in the Southeast Specific Plan Area, without the proposed tank. In
addition, the City's new water tank east of Petaluma Hill Road, which will be completed in 2018,
will provide reliability, redundancy and capacity for the water system, which was not
contemplated when the DA was originally written. City staff have made some modest upgrades
to existing chlorinator pumps, which has improved water pressure in the vicinity of the
development, further supporting the conclusion that water tank, or some similar type of capacity
improvement, can be deferred for a short time without adverse impacts to existing customers or
the new development.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was
certified by the City Council when it considered the project entitlements at its meeting of
December 7, 2010. The proposed DA amendment will not result in substantial changes in the
project or new information of substantial importance of the kind that would require additional
environmental review pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND INFORMATION: This item has been duly noticed by
publication in the Community Voice for Amendments to the Southeast Specific Plan
Development Agreement and posted at the prescribed locations in Rohnert Park. Property
owners within 300 feet of the project were mailed notices of the proposed application.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve a resolution recommending City Council adoption of
an ordinance approving the second amendment to the Development Agreement between the City
of Rohnert Park and Penn Grove Mountain LLC modifying the timing of Construction of a
Water Tank within the Southeast Specific Plan Area.
ATTACHMENTS:

Amendment to the Development Agreement between the City of Rohnert Park and Penn

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ROHNERT PARK, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL
ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO
THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
AND PENN GROVE MOUNTAIN LLC MODIFYING THE TIMING OF
CONSTRUCTION OF A WATER TANK WITHIN THE SOUTHEAST SPECIFIC PLAN

permit, allowing Penn Grove Mountain LLC to complete the first phase of its development more
quickly; and
WHEREAS, City staff has evaluated the request and determined that it will accelerate
the delivery of housing units without adverse impacts on the City's water system or the City's
ability to provide water service; and
WHEREAS, Penn Grove Mountain LLC and City staff have negotiated a proposed
amendment to the Development Agreement in accordance with the requirements of Government
Code § 65864, et seq., and Chapter 17.21, "Development Agreement Procedure," of the Rohnert
Park Municipal Code ("RPMC"), and the proposed amendment is attached to this Resolution as
Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park has certified the Final EIR
prepared for the Project and the City has otherwise carried out all requirements for the Project
pursuant to CEQA; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment will not result in any substantial changes in the
project or new information of substantial importance of the kind that would require additional
environmental review pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to California State Law and the RPMC, public hearing notices
were mailed to all property owners within an area encompassing a three hundred foot radius of
the subject property and a public hearing was published for a minimum of 10 days prior to the
first public hearing in the Community Voice.
WHEREAS, on December 14, 2017, the Planning Commission held a public hearing at
which time interested persons had an opportunity to testify either in support or opposition to the
proposed amendments to the Development Agreement; and
LA #4815-0476-8287 v3
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the information
contained in proposed amendments to the Development Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City
of Rohnert Park makes the following findings, determinations and recommendations with respect
to the proposed amendments to the Development Agreement:
Section 1. The above recitations are true and correct and material to this Resolution.
Section 2. On December 7, 2010, the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park
certified the Final EIR for this Project, including adoption of associated CEQA Findings,
Statement of Overriding Considerations, and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program,
as described in City Council Resolution No. 2010-134.
Section 3. Findings for Adoption of Development Agreement. The Planning
Commission, in recommending approval to the City Council of Planning Application No.
PLDA17-0003 Development Agreement Amendment for Southeast Specific Plan, hereby makes
the following findings pursuant to Government code section 65867.5:
1. The proposed Development Agreement Amendment was considered at a public
hearing
Criteria Satisfied. A duly noticed public hearing regarding the amended
Development Agreement was held by the Planning Commission on December 14,
2017, in conformance with the notice provisions of Government Code §§ 65090
and 65091 and the requirements of the RPMC section 17.21.030.
2. The provisions of the proposed Development Agreement are consistent with the
general plan and any applicable specific plan
Criteria Satisfied. The proposed Development Agreement amendment is
consistent with the General Plan and would direct the Project's development in an
orderly manner that benefits the City.
The proposed amendment would defer the construction of a required water
storage tank in order to accelerate delivery of housing units. Staff has evaluated
the impact of the proposed change on the City's water system and determined that
it will not adversely impact water service. This determination includes evaluation
of improvements made to existing chlorination pumping and the improvements
resulting from the construction of the City's Water Tank #8, which was not
anticipated to be complete when the development agreement condition was
proposed.
Staff has also taken into consideration that acute need for housing and region and
believes that this amendment, which will accelerate the delivery of the first phase
of the Specific Plan, provides benefits that are consistent with City's General
Plan.
3. The provisions of the proposed Development Agreement are consistent with
Government Code 65867.5(C).
Criteria Satisfied. The proposed amendment to the Development Agreement
satisfies the requirements of Government Code 65867.5(C) that requires that a
LA #4815-0476-8287 v3
sufficient water supply be available for subdivisions which meet the definition of
"subdivision" in Government Code 66473.7(a)(1) within the Project, as required
by Government Code section 66473.7(b)(1). The City prepared a Water Supply
Assessment to examine the demands of new development and assesses the City's
supply sources to meet the demands. Based on the City's Water Supply
Assessment, it was determined that sufficient sources exist to meet the demands
of the City's general plan buildout using a combination of surface water,
groundwater and recycled water. The SESP is included in the City's General Plan
and, therefore, the City's Water Supply Assessment accounts for increases in the
population and use associated with the SESP development. Because the Project is
consistent with the prior analysis and sufficient water supply is available for this
project, no additional analysis is needed and the proposed Development
Agreement satisfies the required of Government Code 65867.5(C).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, based on the findings set
forth in this Resolution and the evidence in the staff report, the above -referenced Findings, and
all other Project applications considered by the Planning Commission concurrently with the
proposed Development Agreement, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City
Council approve an amendment to the Development Agreement, substantially in the form set
form set forth at Exhibit A hereto.

Planning Commission Report
DATE: December 14, 2017
ITEM NO: 8.4
SUBJECT: PLDA17-0001 - Third Amendment to the Development Agreement between
the City of Rohnert Park, SOMO Village LLC and SOMO Village Commercial
LLC for development of property located at Valley House Drive and Bodway
Parkway.
LOCATION: Valley House Drive and Bodway Parkway (APN 046-051-040, 046-051-042,
and 046-051-045)
REQUEST: Continue a Public Hearing on Amendments to Sections 4.07 and 4.11 B of the
Development Agreement
APPLICANT: Eric Reid, SOMO Village LLC
Background: In August 2010, Sonoma Mountain Village was approved as a Planned
Development for a mixed-use community on the 175 acres former Hewlett Packard/Agilent
technology campus. The approval included a Development Agreement (DA). The DA guarantees
is a description of the development project indicating the permitted uses of the property, density,
building height and size, phasing of development, provisions for the reservation and dedication
of land for public purposes and additional information that may be required for development of
the property. The DA contains specific requirements and time lines that must be adhered to by
the developer. During the required 2015 review of the DA, it became apparent that the developer
had missed a required deadline contained in Section 4.07, related to construction of a portion of
the SMART multi -use path. It was also apparent that the developer was likely to miss a required
deadline contained in Section 4.11(B) related to the construction of an all-weather soccer field.
This constituted a technical breach of the DA.
Staff and the City Attorney's office have been working with the developer through a series of
letter agreements to bring the project back into compliance with the DA. Since 2015, the
Developer has worked with SMART to construct the multi -use path and has deposited funds with
the City to guarantee the construction of the soccer field. The various letter agreements
contemplate an amendment to the DA, which will formalize the changed conditions, extend the
deadline for construction of the soccer field and bring the Developer back into compliance.
Page 1
While staff, the City Attorney and the Developer have been working closely together to complete
the amendment to the DA, there are still several technical issues that need to be clarified and the
amendment is not yet ready for Planning Commission review. Staff is recommending continuing
the noticed public hearing until these technical issues can be resolved. Staff anticipates the item
will be ready for Commission review early in 2018.
Environmental Determination: An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified by the
City Council when it considered the project entitlements at its meeting of August 24, 2010. The
proposed DA amendment will not result in substantial changes in the project or new information
of substantial importance of the kind that would require additional environmental review
pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines.
Public Notification: This item has been duly noticed by publication in the Community Voice for
Amendments to the Sonoma Mountain Village Development Agreement and posted at the
prescribed locations in Rohnert Park. Property owners within 300 feet of the project were mailed
notices of the proposed application. Staff is recommending continuing the noticed public hearing
until the final language of the amendment is available.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends tabling the noticed public hearing until the
proposed amendments are ready for Planning Commission review.

Planning Commission Report
DATE: December 14, 2017
ITEM NO: 8.5
SUBJECT: PLCF17-0001 Finding of Consistency with the General Plan to Complete
CDBG Funded Improvements
LOCATION: Various locations citywide
REQUEST: Consider adoption of Resolution 2017-31 finding that proposed Rohnert Park
Senior Center Accessibility Improvements are consistent with General Plan
2020 and eligible for CDBG and other funding resources.
APPLICANT: City of Rohnert Park
Summary
The Planning Commission is charged with the responsibility for ensuring that City projects and
actions are consistent with goals and policies of the adopted General Plan. It is requested that the
Planning Commission review the proposal to apply for CDBG funds for the Rohnert Park Senior
Center Accessibility Improvements for FY 2018-2019. The determination of General Plan
consistency is needed prior to the use of CDBG funding resources.
Discussion
The City of Rohnert Park is preparing a grant application for funding through the FY 2018-19
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program administered by the Sonoma County
Community Development Commission. The funding application requires a certification of
projects' consistency with the Rohnert Park General Plan.
The Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") Program was created by the federal
Housing and Community Development Acts of 1974 and 1987, with its primary objective being
the development of viable communities through the provision of decent housing, a suitable living
environment and the expansion of economic opportunities, primarily for lower income persons.
The Sonoma County Community Development Commission ("SCCDC") is the designated local
administrative body for the CDBG Program.
Page 1
All funding proposals from municipalities must be submitted to the SCCDC with city/town
council resolutions endorsing proposed projects. Staff is seeking Council endorsement of the
Rohnert Park Senior Center Accessibility Improvements ("Project") at the December 12, 2017
City Council meeting.
The Project includes interior and exterior accessibility improvements to the Senior Center
building at 6800 Hunter Drive, within the Central Rohnert Park Priority Development Area. The
immediate neighborhood around the Senior Center is characterized by a greater concentration of
lower-income households compared to the rest of Rohnert Park, having a median household
income of $29,468, which is 50% of the Rohnert Park median household income of $58,317. The
neighborhood also has a greater concentration of older senior households, with 28% of
households having I or more persons 65 years or older, compared with 20% overall in the city.
The Project is eligible for CDBG funds, meeting the following goal and objective in the Sonoma
County CDC FY 2018-19 Funding Policies pertaining to target populations and public facilities
accessibility:
• Goal 2.3.1.1.
Assist in creating and/or replacing infrastructure systems and public facilities that meet the
needs of lower income people, people with disabilities, and other special needs
subpopulations county -wide.
• Objective 2.3.2.2.
Construct, renovate, or install access modifications to reduce or eliminate architectural
barriers to meet the special needs of persons with disabilities and the elderly in accordance
with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) in public facilities, including but not limited to
public parks, restrooms, youth centers, senior centers, fire stations, libraries, and community
recreation facilities.
The Project will build on the existing Senior Center Restroom Renovation (Project No. 2015-07),
which is currently funded with $109,200 in 2007R Bond Proceeds, approved with the FY 2016-
17 Capital Improvement Plan Budget adopted by the City Council on June 14, 2016. The
additional upgrades that would be made possible with CDBG funding include widening the
hallway adjacent to the restrooms, upgrading the ramp and parking spaces for the facility, and
addressing other non ADA -compliant issues with built-in elements and fixtures throughout the
building. The total Project cost is estimated to be $231,800, including environmental clearance,
design, project management, construction, permits and construction contingency.
General Plan Consistency
The proposed activities and improvements have been reviewed for consistency with the goals and
policies of the Rohnert Park General Plan 2000, and have been found to be consistent. Specifically,
the CDBG funding is consistent with the following policies of the General Plan:
Open Space, Parks and Public Facilities
OS -H Ensure adequate funding for parks and recreation facilities acquisition,
development, and maintenance.
PF -K Provide recreational and cultural facilities serving residents and visitors.
Page 2
PF -37 Use the City's Capital Improvement Program, Public Facilities Fee Program,
federal and state grant funds, and other funding sources to implement
community -wide or area -wide improvements that cannot be conditioned as
part of private development projects.
Analysis
The CDBG funding application seeks to bolster the approved City funds for the Senior Center,
which is consistent with General Plan Open Space Goal OS -H to "ensure adequate funding
for... facilities acquisition, development and maintenance."
Furthermore, as the Senior Center is in the Central Rohnert Park PDA, this Project is consistent
with General Plan goals specific to that area. Public Facilities Goal PF -K calls for the City to
"provide recreational ... facilities serving residents and visitors." The Project will result in the
Senior Center being compliant with most current Americans with Disability Act standards, thus
making the facility fully accessible to a broad range of users. Finally, the project meets Public
Facilities Goal PF -37 to "use the City's Capital Improvement Program..., federal and state grant
funds to implement improvements that cannot be conditioned as part of private development
projects."
Environmental
The recommended finding of consistency is not a project pursuant to Section 15378 of the
California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (CEQA) and additionally, since this is a
consistency finding the previous environmental documentation for the General Plan is adequate
CEQA documentation.
Public Notification
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65401 and City Ordinance, no public hearing is required to
report on this CDBG funding application's consistency with the General Plan.
Recommendation
Based on the analysis and findings of this report and the attached resolution, Staff recommends
that the Planning Commission, by motion, adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 2017-31
reporting to the City Council that the Rohnert Park Senior Center Accessibility Improvements
project is consistent with General Plan 2020 and eligible for CDBG and other funding.
