ORDINANCE NO. 979
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK,
RESCINDING ORDINANCE 928 AND TERMINATING THE DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK AND LAULIMA
DEVELOPMENT, LLC, FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATION CENTER (APN 143-
040-124 AND APN 143-051-089)
WHEREAS, Government Code § 65864, et seq., authorizes the City of Rohnert Park to

WHEREAS, Laulima Development, LLC, filed Planning Application No. PROJ18-0001
proposing the Station Avenue Final Development Plan("FDP"),Conditional Use Permit("CUP"),
Tentative Map("TM")and Development Agreement("DA") for a proposed project("Project")on
a 32 acre parcel located at 6400 State Farm Drive (APN 143-051-072 and 143-051-089)

requirements of Government Code § 65864,et seq., and Chapter 17.21, "Development Agreement
Procedure" of the RPMC, which was adopted by City Council Ordinance 928 on November 27,
2018; and
WHEREAS, the Project did not advance, and the City of Rohnert Park purchased the
Property; therefore, the Development Agreement is no longer necessary; and
WHEREAS, according to Section 17.21.060 (Adherence to development agreement, and
amendment or cancellation by mutual consent) a DA may be terminated by mutual agreement of
the parties and cancellations shall be processed in the same manner as an original application and
shall be subject to the same procedural requirements; and
WHEREAS,pursuant to California State Law and the RPMC,public hearing notices were

property and a public hearing was published for a minimum of 10 days prior to the first public

WHEREAS, on June 27, 2023, the City Council held a public hearing, at which time
interested persons had an opportunity to testify either in support or opposition to the termination
of the Development Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Rohnert
Park as follows:
SECTION 1. Recitals. The above recitations are true and correct.
SECTION 2. CEQA Review. The termination of the Development Agreement is not a"project"
under CEQA as it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the
Ordinance No.979
Page 1 of 3
environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect change and is not an activity that will be
undertaken. Further,even if the termination was a project, it would be exempt under the"common
sense exemption" in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) as it can be seen with certainty that
there is no possibility the termination would have a significant effect on the environment. In
addition,the EIR adopted for the Central Rohnert Park PDA,that covers the Property,will continue
to remain in effect.
SECTION 3. Findings. The termination of the Development Agreement is consistent with the
City's General Plan as the Property can develop consistent with the General Plan without the
Development Agreement in place. The City Council has considered other pending applications
and approved projects; the traffic, parking, public service, visual, and other impacts of the
proposed amendment upon abutting properties and the surrounding area; ability of the applicant to
fulfill public facilities financing plan obligations;the relationship of the project to the city's growth
management program;the provisions included, if any, for reservation,dedication,or improvement
of land for public purposes or accessible to the public; the type and magnitude of the project's
economic effects to the city of Rohnert Park, and of its contribution if any toward meeting the
city's housing needs.
SECTION 4. Termination. Based on the findings set forth in this Resolution and the evidence in
the staff report,the City Council adopts this ordinance to rescind Ordinance 928 and terminate the
Development Agreement. The City Manager or designee is authorized to take any and all actions
to effectuate the termination of the Development Agreement, including without limitation,
recording a Notice of Termination in the Official Records of Sonoma County.
SECTION 5. Severability The City Council hereby declares that every section, paragraph,
sentence, clause, and phrase of this ordinance is severable. If any section, paragraph, sentence,
clause or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason found to be invalid or unconstitutional, such
invalidity, or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining
sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases.
SECTION 6. Effective Date. This ordinance shall be in full force and effective 30 days after its
adoption, and shall be published and posted as required by law.
This ordinance was introduced by the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park on June 27, 2023
and DULY AND REGULARLY ADOPTED this 11th day of July, 2023 by the following roll call
vote:
