AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
REPEALING CHAPTER 9.48 - "ALCOHOL OFFENSE/LOUD PARTIES" AND
REPLACING IT IN ITS ENTIRETY WITH CHAPTER 9.48—"ALCOHOL OFFENSES,
LOUD AND UNRULY GATHERINGS, AND SOCIAL HOST ACCOUNTABILITY" TO
IMPOSE STRICTER CRIMINAL AND CIVIL PENALTIES AGAINST ALCOHOL
OFFENSES AND LOUD PARTIES
WHEREAS, by Ordinance No, 581, the City of Rohnert Park enacted Chapter 9.48 in
1993, which regulates alcohol offenses and loud parties; and,
WHEREAS, by Ordinance No. 745, the City of Rohnert Park amended Chapter 9.48 in
2005, regarding alcohol offenses and loud parties; and,
WHEREAS, by Ordinance No. 852, the City of Rohnert Park amended Chapters 1.24
through 1.27 and sections 9.48.90 and 9.48.100 in 2012, which regulate public nuisances such as
alcohol offenses and loud parties, and include administrative procedures to assess civil penalties
against violators of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code; and,
WHEREAS, by Ordinance No. 863, the City of Rohnert Park amended Chapter 9.48 in
2013, regarding penalties for multiple responses to loud parties; and,
WHEREAS,the City of Rohnert Park,pursuant to the police powers delegated to it by the
California Constitution, has the authority to enact laws which promote the public health, safety
and general welfare of its residents; and,

contribute substantially and increasingly to the deterioration of residential neighborhoods; and,
WHEREAS,at times,the Department of Public Safety and other City personnel are called

the public health, safety and general welfare of residents and visitors to the City of Rohnert Park;
and,
WHEREAS, having considered the staff reports, presentations, other documentation and
testimony presented to the City Council at a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council
determines that the proposed amendments to the Rohnert Park Municipal Code will contribute to
the public health, safety and welfare, by facilitating the prevention, detection, investigation, and
enforcement against loud and unruly gatherings and alcohol offenses within the city, thereby
alleviating the health and safety hazards,unsafe conditions,and the impairment of property values
resulting from such conditions;
WHEREAS, pursuant to California state law and the Rohnert Park Municipal Code, a
public notice was published in the Community Voice for a minimum of 10 days prior to the
public hearing; and
WHEREAS, on August 25, 2020, the City Council conducted a public hearing at which
time interested persons had an opportunity testify either in support of or opposition to the revised
proposal;
NOW THEREFORE,THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK,
CALIFORNIA, does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. VALIDITY. The above recitations are true and correct and material to this
Ordinance. In making its findings, the City Council relied upon and hereby incorporates by
reference all staff reports,presentations, and other documentation presented to the City Council in
the meeting.
SECTION 2. FINDINGS

A. That the proposed amendments to the Rohnert Park Municipal Code will contribute to the
public health, safety and welfare, by strengthening penalties and enforcement mechanisms
pertaining to alcohol offenses and loud and unruly parties;
B. That enforcement of city ordinances is an essential government function and necessary to
adequately protect the public health and safety. The proposed amendments to Rohnert Park

and enforcement of violations pertaining to alcohol offenses and loud and unruly parties
and in doing so will support the goals of public health, safety, and welfare.
SECTION 3. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW.
The City Council finds and determines:
A. That adoption of this ordinance is not a project within the meaning of section 15378 of the
Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA")
because it has no potential to result in physical changes to the environment, either directly
or indirectly;

Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption
of this ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment; and
C. That the fee provisions of the proposed ordinance do not constitute a project under CEQA
Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), which says that the creation of government funding
mechanisms that do not involve a commitment to a particular project do not fall under the
auspices of CEQA.
