Park makes the following findings, determinations, and recommendations with respect to the
proposed Tentative Map for Development Phase 1 N-A:
Section 1. The City Council finds that the above recitations are true and correct.
Section 2. Environmental Review. The City Council makes the following findings:
A. On July 22,2010,the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park certified the Program
EIR for the Sonoma Mountain Village 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. 2010-101.
B. On March 9, 2021, the City Council assessed the potential environmental impacts
associated with modifications to the SOMO Village Project and approved a Supplement to the
certified EIR (SEIR) and a Statement of Overriding Considerations as part of the SOMO Village
Project entitlements.
C. The proposed Tentative Map is consistent with the analysis in the Program EIR and
SEIR, implements existing land use approvals and will not result in additional environmental
effects. Therefore, no additional environmental review is necessary.
Section 3. Findings Regarding Tentative Map. The City Council hereby makes the
following findings pursuant to Government Code Section 66474 and Rohnert Park Municipal Code
Section 16.10.090:
1. The proposed map, and its design and improvements, are consistent with the
general plan and any applicable specific plan, any policy or guideline
implementing the general plan (including the city's design guidelines), or other
applicable provisions of this code.
Criteria Satisfied.The proposed Tentative Map is consistent with the General Plan
as proposed to be amended through the reclassification of Bodway Parkway,as well
as the Final Development Plan that applies to the property. The proposed Tentative
Map will implement the General Plan in that it will ensure that adequate
infrastructure is available in timely fashion to support the development proposed
by the General Plan and Final Development Plan.
The proposed Tentative Map is consistent with the SOMO Village Final
Development Plan. The Tentative Map depicts specific parcels for uses consistent
with those in the Final Development Plan including residential lots,a park,planned
roadways, and easements (for transportation and utility access). The improvements
shown on the Tentative Map are in the same configuration as in the Final
Development Plan.
The proposed Tentative Map has been designed to meet City standards which
provide satisfactory pedestrian and vehicular circulation, including emergency
vehicle access, and on-site improvements, such as streets, utilities, and drainage
facilities have been designed and are conditioned to be constructed in conformance
with City standards.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type of development.
Criteria Satisfied. The Tentative Map reflects the Final Development Plan for this
site,which is physically suitable for the proposed development.No major geologic
hazards have been reported on the site or other limiting conditions(e.g., slopes)that
would render it unsuitable for residential development.
Resolution 2021-098
2
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
Criteria Satisfied. The site is of sufficient size and shape and appropriately shown
in the Final Development Plan to allow the proposed density of development. The
subdivision has been designed to accommodate the development of 148 total
residences — a combination of single-family homes and townhomes — taking into
consideration the shape and topography of the site. This development is consistent
with the density ranges provided for in the Final Development Plan.
4. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat, absent a statement of overriding conditions.
Criteria Satisfied. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was processed and
approved for the Sonoma Mountain Village Planned Development (State
Clearinghouse No. 20070521116), which shows potential impacts related to the
development of the site with the proposed uses. The EIR includes adoption of
associated CEQA Findings, Statement of Overriding Considerations, and the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Subsequently, the City approved a
Supplement to the certified EIR (SEIR), which addressed modifications to the
SOMO Village Project and the various discretionary entitlements associated with
the project. The contents of the EIR and SEIR are incorporated herein by this
reference.
The proposed Tentative Map is consistent with the analysis in the EIR and SEIR
and would not result in additional environmental effects. The proposed Tentative
Map covers the redevelopment of existing paved parking areas which do not
contain habitat resources.
5. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not cause serious
public health problems.
Criteria Satisfied. The design of the Project is not expected to have negative
impacts on the health or well-being of project residents or occupants of the
surrounding land uses. The design of the Tentative Map is in conformance with the
City's General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Subdivision Ordinance. The
construction of all units within Phase 1N-A has been conditioned to comply with
all applicable City ordinances, codes, and standards including, but not limited to,
the California Building Code and the City's ordinances relating to stormwater
runoff management and controls. In addition, the design and construction of all
improvements for the subdivision has been conditioned to be in conformance with
adopted City street and public works standards, including standards for emergency
vehicle access. The proposed subdivision has been designed to provide safe,
adequate and well-connected bicycle and pedestrian facilities which support public
health both by encouraging physical exercise and reducing the use of vehicles and
attendant greenhouse gas emissions. The City's ordinances, codes, and standards
have been created based on currently accepted standards and practices for the
preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare.
Resolution 2021-098

6. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large,for access through or use of property
with the proposed subdivision, absent alternative, equivalent easements.
Criteria Satisfied. The Project will respect all existing easements, and any new
easements required by the Project have been incorporated on the Tentative Map.
7. Any proposed phases and their proposed sequence of construction are identified on
the submitted map.
Criteria Satisfied. The subdivision, SOMO Village Development Phase 1N-A,
will be constructed as a single phase as identified on the Tentative Map.
Section 4. Approval of Tentative Map. The City Council of the City of Rohnert Park
does hereby authorize and approve the proposed Tentative Map for SOMO Village Development
Phase 1N-A, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, subject to the recommended Conditions of Approval
