Eydie Tacata, Sr. Public Works Analyst
PLCI23-001/City of Rohnert Park/FY 2023-24 Two-Year Capital
Improvements Program/General Plan Consistency
Citywide
Applicant/Owner: City of Rohnert Park
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
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. 2021-20
reporting to the City Council that the proposed FY 2023-24 Capital Improvements Program is
consistent with the Rohnert Park General Plan 2020.
BACKGROUND:
The Planning Commission is charged with the responsibility for ensuring that adopted plans are
consistent with goals and policies of the adopted General Plan. The Planning Commission is
being requested to review the attached proposed FY 2023-24 Two-year CIP Capital
Improvements Program (CIP) to determine consistency with the General Plan. The FY 2023-24
Two-year CIP will be considered for adoption by the Rohnert Park City Council at an upcoming
meeting.
The CIP is a document that addresses the long-term capital improvement needs of the City (i.e.
public facilities, infrastructure improvements, and capital equipment needs). The CIP provides a
relatively long-term (five-year) strategy for physical facility and infrastructure investment, to be
approved annually in concept by the City Council.
Section 65401 of the California Government Code requires that for agencies that have adopted a
general plan, a “coordinated program of proposed public works ensuing fiscal year” (i.e. a capital
improvement plan) is to be “submitted to the city planning agency for review…as to conformity
2
with the adopted general plan or part thereof.” The Planning Commission has been charged with
this responsibility by the City Council. The determination of consistency (or “conformity” as it is
sometimes called) is needed prior to the City Council’s adoption of the CIP. The Council will use
the Commission’s determination for this purpose.
The proposed FY 2023-24 CIP is attached for the Commission’s reference. Staff has reviewed
these projects and recommends the adoption of the attached resolution on finding the CIP
consistent with the General Plan. A discussion of the General Plan policies pertaining to the
proposed Capital Improvement Program projects follows.
ANALYSIS: The CIP has been reviewed for consistency with the goals and policies of the
Rohnert Park General Plan 2000 and has been found to be consistent. The following paragraphs
summarize the findings of consistency with the General Plan for each of the program areas in the
CIP.
City Facilities. The CIP includes a concerted effort to maintain buildings, focusing on
maintenance projects like emergency repairs at Gold Ridge Center for a preschool program,
interior improvements at the Community Center, and continued implementation of the City’s
updated Americans with Disabilities Act Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. In 2022, the City
completed a comprehensive Facilities Condition Assessment (FCA) of 62 City-owned facilities,
and this upcoming budget year, the most critical projects as identified by FCA will be prioritized
and implemented.
These projects are consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies:
General: Maintaining the ability of the City to maintain its facilities and provide adequate services
to its residents is consistent with the overall intent of both the public facilities and health and safety
elements of the General Plan.
Parks and Recreation. The CIP includes major maintenance and capital replacement projects for
parks and recreation facilities throughout the City, including the renovation of Honeybee Pool and
replacing playground equipment at Lydia Park. The CIP also includes the construction of new
recreational facilities, including a new multi-use trail to Crane Creek Regional Park to provide
access from the urbanized area of Rohnert Park to nearby open space resources.
This project is consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies:
OS-B: Maintain land surrounding the city as open space for the enjoyment of scenic beauty,
recreation, and protection of natural resources of the community.
OS-E: Maintain publicly owned open space areas in their natural state; provide public access
in a manner that is compatible with the conservation of habitat.
OS-F: Provide an integrated system of parks and trails throughout the City to meet the
community’s recreational needs.
OS-H Ensure adequate funding for parks and recreation facilities acquisition, development,
and maintenance.
3
Transportation. The FY 2023-24 CIP includes the design and construction of a new segment of
Dowdell Avenue serving expanding development on the west side of Rohnert Park. An ongoing
program of traffic signal system infrastructure replacements will help to ensure adequate traffic
flow and integration with the new automated traffic management system. Pavement preservation,
including crack seals, slurry seals, and cape seals will occur in many residential neighborhood
streets throughout Rohnert Park will occur this upcoming year. A sidewalk inventory and condition
assessment will be conducted this summer to provide data for a prioritized program of sidewalk
repairs over the upcoming years. The future of active transportation will also be addressed in this
CIP with the start of the Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan update in conjunction with Sonoma
County Transportation Authority’s update to the Countywide Active Transportation Plan. The
preliminary engineering phase of the Highway 101 Bike/Ped Overcrossing at Copeland Creek will
also begin this upcoming year.
These improvements are consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies:
CD-I Ensure that neighborhood streets provide an attractive physical environment for
motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists.
CD-J Maintain the character of existing neighborhoods while undertaking streetscape and
signage improvements in selected areas.
CD-K Provide safe, convenient, and comfortable pedestrian connections within commercial
centers and between commercial centers and adjacent sites and residential
neighborhoods.
TR-A: Promote safe and efficient vehicular circulation throughout Rohnert Park.
TR-B: Maintain high levels of mobility along all major street segments and at major
intersections.
TR-C: Build new roads and improve existing roadways, where necessary, in conjunction with
new development.
TR-F: Encourage alternative modes of travel….
TR-2: Ensure that mitigation measures are coordinated with roadway improvements
programmed for funding through transportation-related impact fees.
TR-6, TR-11, and TR-12: Use the City's Capital Improvement Program as a means to prioritize
and undertake roadway improvements….; to prioritize and undertake the intersection
improvements….; and establish priorities for roadway improvements and prepare an
action program for implementation.
TR-N: Promote safe, efficient, and comfortable circulation for cyclists and pedestrians
throughout Rohnert Park.
TR-R: Continue to develop a comprehensive network of bikeways that promote bicycle
riding for transportation and recreation.
Water System. The proposed CIP includes various improvements to the water system, including
upgrading water pipelines; replacing large commercial water meters; replacing aging well pumps
4
and motors; and upgrade of controls and telemetry to better monitor well production and overall
distribution and flow water supply and fire suppression. A new water tank is also planned to serve
new development on the east side of town.
These projects are consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies:
PF-E: Provide sufficient quantities of water for Rohnert Park residents and businesses, while
ensuring that safe groundwater is not exceeded.
PF-11: monitor the operation of the municipal well field on a monthly basis to ensure that
production does not exceed the recharge rates….
Wastewater System. The proposed CIP includes projects that preserve the sewer collection
system such as sewer line replacements and inflow-and-infiltration strategies in the older section
of Rohnert Park and manhole rehabilitation.
These projects are consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies:
PF-D: Ensure that adequate wastewater facilities and services are available to meet the needs
of existing and new development.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: 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 the Capital Improvement Program’s consistency with the
General Plan.
