AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK, CALIFORNIA APPROVING A
SIXTH AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG
THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK AND PENN GROVE MOUNTAIN LLC REGARDING
THE SOUTHEAST SPECIFIC PLAN AREA
WHEREAS, Government Code § 65864, et seq., authorizes the City of Rohnert Park to
enter into development agreements which will provide certainty, definition and commitment to
developers as well as to necessary public improvements required by development; and
WHEREAS, the applicant, Penn Grove Mountain LLC, filed Planning Applications
proposing General Plan amendments (PLGP22-0001), an amended Specific Plan(PLSP22-0001),
a revised Development Area Plan(PLDP22-0001), an amendment to the Development Agreement
(PLDA22-0001), and modifications to conditions of approval for the Tentative Map (PLSD22-
0001), for the Southeast Specific Plan ("SESP") located south of the Canon Manor Specific Plan
Area, west of Petaluma Hill Road,and north of Valley House Drive(various APNs), in accordance
with the City of Rohnert Park Municipal Code ("RPMC"); and
WHEREAS,the proposed amendments would allow for a more gradual transition of
densities and for the addition of twenty-two single-family residential lots within the fourth phase
of the Project; and
WHEREAS, the City staff has evaluated the project and determined that it is consistent
with the City's current strategy for providing water service and that it will better serve the housing
needs of the city and the region; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the Project, Developer and City staff have negotiated a
proposed Sixth Amendment to Development Agreement("Sixth Amendment")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"), for the Property. The
Sixth Amendment negotiated by Developer and the City is attached to this Ordinance as Exhibit
A; and
WHEREAS, the Sixth Amendment, among other things, extends the terms of the
Agreement for 10 additional years, amends the Project to add 22 single-family homes to Phase 4
and modify the unit types, provides for a park payment in the amount of$180,000, modifies the
Affordable Housing Plan to increase the number of affordable units, increases the affordability
term of ownership units, and modifies the annual date on which fees are adjusted; and
WHEREAS,the City has prepared the Southeast Rohnert Park Phase 4 Southeast Specific
Plan EIR Consistency Review dated June 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference, and
determines that the proposed amendments will not result in new environmental impacts not
previously evaluated in a previously certified EIR,or a substantial increase in previously identified
impacts ("Consistency Analysis") and the City has otherwise carried out all requirements for the
Project pursuant to CEQA; and
WHEREAS, on July 13, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing at which
time interested persons had an opportunity to testify either in support or opposition to the proposal;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed and considered the information
contained in the proposed amendments to the Development Agreement and recommended
approval of the proposed amendments; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to California State Law and the Rohnert Park Municipal Code,
public hearing notices were mailed to all property owners within an area encompassing a 300 foot
radius of the subject property and a public hearing was published for a minimum of 10 days prior
to the public hearing in the Community Voice; and
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park does hereby ordain
as follows:
Section 1. Recitals. The above recitations are true and correct and material to this
Ordinance.
Section 2. CEQA Review. On December 7, 2010, the City Council of the City of
Rohnert Park certified the Final EIR for the Southeast Specific Plan 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 (2010
EIR). CEQA Guidelines section 15162 provides that"no subsequent EIR shall be prepared" for a
project unless the lead agency determines that (1) "substantial changes are proposed in the
project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR"; or(2) "substantial changes
occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken"; or(3) "new
information of substantial importance ... shows" one or more significant effects not discussed in
the original EIR, greater severity to previously-identified substantial effects, or newly-found
feasible mitigation measures that would substantially reduce significant effects. As described in
the Consistency Analysis, the proposed amendments will not result in new environmental
impacts not previously evaluated in the 2010 EIR, or a substantial increase in previously
identified impacts. The proposed amendments (addition of twenty-two lots, alterations to the lot
and street configuration, and amending the land use designation from Rural Estate Residential to
Low Density Residential), are minor and will not result in any changes to the proposed project
not previously analyzed in the 2010 EIR and no new information of substantial importance
shows any significant effects or newly found feasible mitigation measures that would
substantially reduce significant effects. Further, the amendments are consistent with the project
analyzed in the 2010 EIR. Therefore, no additional environmental review is necessary.
Section 3. Findings. The City Council, in approving Planning Application Nos. PLGP22-
0001, PLSP22-0001, PLSD22-0001, PLDP22-0001, and PLDA22-0001 Sixth Amendment for
Southeast Specific Plan, has considered the following factors and makes the following findings
pursuant to Government Code § 65867.5 and RPMC 17.21.040:
1. The proposed Sixth Amendment was considered at a public hearing
A duly noticed public hearing regarding the amended Development Agreement was
held by the City Council on August 8, 2023, 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 Sixth Amendment are consistent with the general
Ordinance 981
Page 2 of 5
plan and any applicable specific plan
The proposed Sixth Amendment is consistent with the General Plan, as
recommended to be amended, and would direct the Project's development in an
orderly manner that benefits the City.
The Open Space element of the General Plan includes goals and policies for the
development and preservation of parks and open space within the City and is
implemented by the Parks and Recreation Facilities Master Plan and Subdivision
Ordinance. These establish the process for the dedication of parkland or in lieu fee
to meet the needs of the City's growing population. Changes to the Project include
the payment of$180,000 to address parkland needs. This change is consistent with
the General Plan and Specific Plan.
Staff has also considered the need for housing in the region. Changes to the Project
will increase the provision of affordable housing by four units and the provision of
total housing by twenty-two units will extend the affordability term of affordable
ownership units and will assist in expediting the construction of the eight required
townhome affordable units. The Housing Element of the General Plan and the Land
Use Element of the Southeast Specific Plan address this need and the requirements
for the provision of on-site affordable housing, as implemented by the Inclusionary
Housing Ordinance (RPMC Section 17.07.020(N)). Changes to the project are
consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plan, as amended.
3. The provisions of the proposed Development Agreement are consistent with
Government Code§65867.5(C).
The Sixth Amendment satisfies the requirements of Government Code 65867.5(C)
which requires that a sufficient water supply be available for subdivisions that meet
the definition of "subdivision" in Government Code § 66473.7(a)(1) within the
Project, as required by Government Code § 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 Sixth Amendment
satisfies the required of Government Code 65867.5(C).
4. The City Council has given consideration to other pending applications and
approved projects; the traffic, parking, public service, visual, and other impacts of
the proposed development project 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
Ordinance 981
Page 3 of 5
meeting the city's housing needs; and to any comparable, relevant factor.
The proposed modifications to the development result in an increase in the number
of residential units in the project. The impacts of these changes on traffic, parking
public service are modest. The Southeast SPA has an approved Community
Facilities District (CFD) which generates special taxes to support public services.
The twenty-two new residential lots will pay these special taxes, which will
mitigate its impacts. The new lot configuration maintains adequate view corridors
to the ridges east of the city and the conditions of approval for the project require
landscaping to further reduce visual impacts. The infrastructure necessary to
support the twenty-two new residential units is planned and the units will pay the
City's Public Facilities Fee and Water Capacity charges, ensuring that they
contribute their fair share towards supporting infrastructure. The relatively modest
changes to the project do not substantially change the project, its relationship with
the City's growth management program or the magnitude of the project's economic
effects on the City.
Section 4. Approval of Sixth Amendment. The City Council hereby approves the Sixth
Amendment to the Development Agreement in substantially similar form as attached hereto and
incorporated herein as Exhibit A, with minor technical, non-substantive revisions as may be
approved by the City Manager in consultation with the City Attorney.
Section 5. Compliance with State Law.
A. The City will act in accordance with the provisions of Government Code sections 65856
and 66006.
B. After the City enters into the Sixth Amendment, the City Clerk will record the Sixth
Amendment with the County Recorder in accordance with Government Code section 65868.5.
C. In accordance with Government Code section 65865.1 and RPMC Section
17.21.050(A),the City will conduct an annual review of the Development Agreement,as amended,
to ensure compliance with its terms.
Section 6. Actions to Effectuate. The City Manager or Assistant City Manager is hereby
authorized and directed to provide written consent and certifications, execute documents and take
other actions on behalf of City, which are not expressly and specifically reserved for the City
Council, to implement and effectuate the terms of the Sixth Amendment.
Section 7. 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 Council of the City of Rohnert Park on August 8, 2023, and adopted on August 22,
2023, by the following roll call vote:
AYES: (5) Councilmembers Elward, Giudice, and Sanborn, Vice Mayor Hollingsworth Adams,

AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN
I. INTRODUCTION
The Southeast Specific Plan and accompanying Development Agreement meet the City of
Rohnert Park's inclusionary housing requirement. Under the proposed Development Agreement
and Specific Plan, the project will provide Low and Very Low income housing (as such terms are
defined in Section l7.07.020(N)(2) of the City's Municipal Code) as affordable rental housing, and
will provide Low and Moderate income housing (as such terms are defined in Section
l7.07.020(N)(2) of the City's Municipal Code) as affordable owner-occupied housing. As depicted
in the Specific Plan and Final Development Plan, a total of 76 Affordable Units are included in the
Project as follows: 36 apartment units in one apartment complex (Affordable Apartment
Complex); 28 Duet Units; and 12 Townhome Units. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized
terms contained in this Affordable Housing Plan shall have the meaning given to such terms in the
Development Agreement.
II. AFFORDABLE APARTMENT COMPLEX
A. Obligation to Construct
The Developer shall either (1) construct the Affordable Apartment Complex in accordance
with plans and specifications approved by the City, or (2) donate land within the Project, to one or
more non-profit housing developers in place of actual construction. Prior to donating the land to
the non-profit, the land must be appropriately zoned, buildable, free of toxic substances and
contaminated soils. Prior to donating this land to the non-profit, the Developer shall ensure that
the lots are fully improved with infrastructure, adjacent utilities, completed grading, all applicable
fees have been paid, and compliance with all applicable conditions of approval and mitigation
measures. The non-profit to whom the Developer donates the land shall have a minimum of five
years' experience in development, ownership, operation, and management of similar sized
affordable rental housing projects, and shall demonstrate that it has the capacity to construct and
operate the affordable housing apartment complex.
The Affordable Apartment Complex will be constructed on parcel "D" located at the corner
of Bodway Parkway and Valley House Drive. The Parties acknowledge that parcel "D" is expected
to be adequate to accommodate the Affordable Housing Complex, subject to formal site plan
review by the City and confirmation by the City that the Affordable Housing Complex complies
with the Specific Plan, the Project Approvals and Applicable Law.
Irrespective of who constructs the Affordable Apartment Complex, construction shall be
completed no later than the market-rate units that are part of the Project. In recognition of the fact
that Developer may phase construction of the market-rate or commercial units, for purposes of this
Exhibit D
4859-8378-8131 v10
Affordable Housing Plan, the phrase "completed no later than market-rate units" shall mean no
later than the City's issuance of a building permit for the 225th market-rate residential unit.
The Developer shall provide in its transfer documents donating land within the Project to
a non-profit housing developer for a reversion in fee to Developer of the land upon which the
Affordable Apartment Complex is to be constructed if the Affordable Apartment Complex has not
been constructed as required by this Affordable Housing Plan. If the non-profit housing developer
has not completed construction of the Affordable Apartment Complex as set forth in this
Affordable Housing Plan, then the Developer will be required to complete construction of the
Affordable Apartment Complex itself. Developer shall do so at Developer's sole expense, and
Developer shall complete construction of the Affordable Apartment Complex no later than
issuance of the building permit for the 290th market-rate unit.
City shall not be obligated to issue any additional building permits beyond the 290th
building permit until the Affordable Apartment Complex is satisfactorily completed, as evidenced
by a final certificate of occupancy, according to the terms of the Agreement and this Affordable
Housing Plan.
B. Affordability
The Affordable Apartment Complex shall consist of 36 Affordable Units. Eighteen (18)
apartments shall be rented to households at or below 50% of area median income (Very Low
Income); seventeen (17) apartments shall be rented to households at or below 80% of area median
income (Low Income); and one (1) apartment shall be rented to a household at or below 120% of
area median income (Moderate Income.) Affordable Rent shall be set as defined by the Rohnert
Park Municipal Code. This section may be modified administratively by the Parties as long as it
is consistent with the intent of the Development Agreement and the City’s Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance.
C. Affordable Housing Agreement
Affordable rental properties shall be restricted for 55 years and owner-occupied affordable
housing units shall be restricted for 45 years as is required by the Rohnert Park Municipal Code.
In order to ensure that these affordability restrictions remain in place, the Developer or the non-
profit to whom the Developer donates land, shall enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement
with the City in a form and content acceptable to the City Attorney. The Affordable Housing
Agreement shall be recorded against the Affordable Apartment Complex parcel or project site
prior to the issuance of the building permit for the 100th market rate residential unit. The
Affordable Housing Agreement shall include at least the following terms:
1. The requirement to construct the Affordable Apartment Complex in accordance
with this Affordable Housing Plan.
2. Provisions restricting the rental of the Affordable Apartments to low and very
Low Income Households at an Affordable Rent as defined by the Rohnert Park
Municipal Code for 55 years.

standards set forth in Rohnert Park Municipal Code Section 17.07.020, Footnote (N), subsection
9. Specifically, the Affordable Units shall be comparable in number of bedrooms, exterior
appearance, and overall quality of construction to the market-rate units in the same project. With
prior approval from the City Manager, the Affordable Units may have different square footage or
interior features from the market-rate units in the Project so long as the interior features are still of
good quality and are consistent with contemporary standards for housing. In its approval of the
Development Agreement for this Project, the City specifically approves and authorizes the
clustering of the 36 affordable apartment units in the Project.
E. Marketing/Implementation
Developer or its designated affordable housing developer shall prepare and implement a
marketing and implementation plan for the rental of the Affordable Apartments. The plan must be
in a form and content reasonably acceptable to the City and include, among other things, the
following:
1. A plan to market the Affordable Apartments to eligible households.
2. Procedures for the rental of the Affordable Apartments, including the slotting
of applications and creation of a waiting list, eligibility determination, income
certification, and annual re-certifications.

Units shall be sold to Moderate income households at an Affordable Sales Price.

terms:
1. The requirement to construct the Affordable Housing Unit(s) as provided herein
and in partnership with a third-party administrator acceptable to City;
