Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: April 10, 2025
Item No: 6.1
Prepared by: Elliott Pickett, Associate Planner
Agenda Title: PUBLIC HEARING – SOMO Village 2N-A Tentative Map (File PLSD24-
0001) – Consider a recommendation to the City Council for approval of a
Tentative Map (CEQA: Consistent with the Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) and Supplemental EIR for the Sonoma Mountain Village Planned
Development)
Location: 28.4-acre site south of Camino Colegio, east of SMART Train ROW within
the SOMO Village Planned Development Area (APN: 046-051-053)
GP/Zoning: General Plan: Mixed Use / Zoning: SOMO Village Planned Development
Applicant/Owner: Matt Lawton For SOMO Village, LLC
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct a public hearing and adopt Resolution No. 2025-03
(Attachment 1) recommending City Council approval of a Tentative Map for SOMO Village
Phase 2N-A, subdividing Blocks 1, 6, and 19 of SOMO Village Planned Development into 82
residential lots, 3 large lots for future residential development, 3 park parcels, and associated open
space, common areas, and street right-of-way dedications.
BACKGROUND:
SOMO Village Planned Development Area (formerly Sonoma Mountain Village) includes approximately 176 acres in southeast Rohnert Park, generally bisected by Valley House Drive. The SOMO Village Final Development Plan was originally approved in 2010 and was amended in 2021. The project is designed as a mixed-use, sustainable community with homes within a five-minute walk of a Village Center, created from adaptive reuse of existing commercial and
industrial buildings.
In early 2021, the City Council approved a Large Lot Tentative Map, dividing the project site into blocks for future development. Later in 2021, the City council approved a Tentative Map for the first phase of project development (Phase 1N-A), which is currently under construction.
The developer has submitted an application to subdivide Blocks 1, 6, and 19 (Phase 2N-A) into
82 residential lots, 3 large lots for future residential development, 3 park parcels, and associated
open space, common areas, and street right-of-way dedications.

Figure 1: Location Map
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The proposed project is a tentative subdivision map for SOMO Village Development Phase 2N-A,
located at the northwestern corner of the SOMO Village Planned Development Area (See Figure 1). Phase 2N-A includes three residential blocks and a large park and open space area near the SMART train right-of-way. The proposed residential lots generally fall within the T4 General Urban Zone, with eight residential lots within the T3: Suburban Zone, and parks and open space within the CS: Civic Zone, as shown in Figure 2.
Page 3 of 10
Figure 2: Transects (Zones) within Phase 2N-A
Development Phase 2N-A will also require Design Review approval prior to construction. The Design Review application will include the house designs (floor plans, building elevations, roof plans), colors, and materials; neighborhood park design; landscaping including street trees; hardscape; and light standards. The design review will be conducted by the SOMO Village Design
Review Board (DRB), an appointed body of City staff, a SOMO representative, and an outside
design professional that was authorized by the SOMO Village Form Based Code (RPMC Article
XV.A, Section 17.06.820).
Layout and Circulation:
The proposed subdivision follows the block pattern and street grid established by the SOMO Village regulating plan (RPMC Article XV.A) and the SOMO Village Phase 0 Large Lot Final
Map.
This subdivision primarily takes vehicular access from Valley House Drive and from Wonder Way/Mitchell Drive, off Camino Colegio. The compact block structure of Phase 1N-A provides additional vehicle access points. The subdivision will also have three bicycle or pedestrian access points, in addition to streetside sidewalks. One connects to Camino Colegio, which will be
developed with a multi-use path, and two connect to the existing SMART multi-use path.
With a focus on creating an inviting, walkable street scene, alleys are utilized so that garages can be tucked away. On-street parking is generally allowed along streets, and the parking plan will be reviewed with the design review application.
Figure 3 displays the circulation network within the proposed subdivision, shown within the
larger context of the project.
Page 4 of 10
Figure 3: Phase 2N-A Circulation Diagram
Parks and Open Space:
This development phase includes three public parks, one private park, and a stormwater detention
feature, consistent with the SOMO Village Final Development Plan. A 0.2-acre pocket park is
located on Parcel D within Block 1 and will contain an open grassy area for play, surrounded by trees, shrubs, and other vegetation, with park benches and picnic tables. On the west side of the project site, there is a 2.8-acre public ballfield and park surrounded by a 3.9-acre private wetland observatory and preserves. This area will include informational signage and trails open to the public, including train access connecting to the adjacent SMART mixed-use path. A 0.9-acre
public park is located south of the ballfield and preserves, and is proposed to contain a shady grove with picnic seating, walking trails, a discovery playground, and splash pad. South of this
park is a 1.2-acre stormwater detention pond.
Figure 4 shows the location of these parks in the context of the SOMO Village Parkland
Dedication Plan. The proposed amenities for these areas are further described in Attachment 2.

Figure 4: Parkland Dedication Plan and Phase 2N-A
Block 1
Block 1 is located at the north end of the site and includes 27 residential lots, divided between the T3 Suburban Zone and the T4 General Urban Zone (See Figure 5, below). Most of the larger lots
take access from common driveways; the remaining lots front onto Camino Colegio or Waldorf Lane, with garages accessed from a private alley. This block contains the pocket park and a bicycle and pedestrian access connection from Camino Colegio to Waldorf Lane. Lot 2 on the east end of this lot is the site of the future fire station. Under the SOMO Village Development
Agreement, SOMO is obligated to dedicate this lot to the City, which was completed with the first
final map. The developer is also required to provide a financial contribution for the permitting,
design, construction and installation of fire station prior to issuance of the 502nd building permit.

Block 6
Block 6 is located at the center of the development phase, south of Waldorf Lane, and includes 36 residential lots within the T4 General Urban Zone and three larger parcels (Parcels K, N, and P) for future residential development (See Figure 6, below). These lots are designed to front on Waldorf Lane, Wetland Way, and Witchhazel Place, with garage access taken from a shared
private alley system. Parcels J, L, and O will provide additional non-automobile access to the alley system and a connection point to World Avenue. Twelve parking spaces are provided off the shared alley around these lots to accommodate anticipated parking needs. Review of compliance with parking standards will occur with the Design Review application.
Figure 6: SOMO Village Phase 2N-A, Block 6
Parcels K, N, and P (1.2 acres, 1 acre, and 0.6 acres, respectively) are reserved for future
development. These lots are envisioned as cottage courts, with smaller homes centered around a
shared green space. Subdivision of these lots would require City review and approval, as well as
design review.
Page 7 of 10
Block 19
Block 19 is located at the south end of the site and includes 19 residential lots within the T4 General Urban Zone. These lots are designed to front on World Avenue and Wetland Way, with garage access taken from a shared alley system. Parcel R is proposed to be used for landscaping purposes. The parcel remainder south of Wetland Way is reserved for development with Phase 1S
(the first development phase to occur south of Valley House Drive).

ANALYSIS:
The proposed tentative map was reviewed for conformance with the applicable goals, policies
and regulations of the General Plan, SOMO Village Development Agreement, SOMO Village
Final Development Plan, and Rohnert Park Municipal Code. General Plan The General Plan outlines high-level goals to develop compact, mixed-use, and pedestrian-
oriented areas, requirements for the systematic implementation of the City’s growth management and public facilities goals and policies, and describes the land-use framework for the SOMO Village Area. These goals are incorporated into the Final Development Plan and the Rohnert Park Municipal Code and the proposed tentative map is consistent with these goals. Development Agreement
The Development Agreement outlines certain project rights and obligations, including development rights and obligations to develop or contribute to on- and off-site infrastructure improvements. Staff are monitoring compliance with the provisions of the Development Agreement and have included relevant requirements within the proposed Conditions of Approval
for this tentative map.
Page 8 of 10
Final Development Plan The Final Development Plan includes the Planned Development Zoning and Regulating Plan which controls development of this site. The lots proposed by this tentative map comply with the transects of this Zoning and Regulating Plan. The Final Development Plan also outlines improvements and facilities for development in SOMO Village, including a Municipal Services
Plan, Parkland Dedication Plan, Street and Alley Plan, Bicycle Circulation Plan, and SMART Train connections. The proposed tentative map is consistent with these elements of the Final Development Plan.
Rohnert Park Municipal Code Rohnert Park Municipal Code (RPMC) Chapter 17.06 (Land Use Regulations) Article XV.A (Sonoma Mountain Village Planned Development Zoning District) provides specific development standards for development within SOMO Village. The lots depicted in the proposed tentative map are consistent with RPMC requirements for residential density, lot with, and lot configuration.
Other development standards outlined within the code, including setbacks, building height,
fences, landscaping, and design of private frontages will be reviewed with the Design Review application. Supplemental Reports
The applicant provided the required studies and information to supplement the tentative map application, including a Park Narrative (Attachment 2), a Commercial Parking Analysis
(Attachment 3), and a View Impact Analysis (Attachment 4).
The Park Narrative provides information on proposed park location, size, and improvements. This demonstrates that the parks will be developed consistent with the Final Development Plan and
approved Parkland Dedication Plan for the project.
The Commercial Parking Analysis outlines the parking available for the commercial core of SOMO Village throughout the phases of development. Development of Phase 2N-A will decrease parking availability in two commercial parking lots, but will benefit from recently increased parking capacity in two additional commercial parking lots. The commercial core of SOMO will
retain a surplus of 408 parking spaces after Phase 2N-A is developed.
The View Impact Analysis is provided in compliance with the conditions of the Final Development Plan and with the adopted project mitigation measures. This analysis demonstrates that the layout of lots and the anticipated building sizes will still provide view corridors, preserving views from the existing homes west of the development through to the Sonoma
Mountains. This analysis will be submitted again with the project’s Design Review application to
review the specific building locations and sizes proposed at that time.
Affected Agencies Pursuant to RPMC 16.10.090, affected agencies were provided with a copy of the complete application and given an opportunity to provide comments. Staff worked with the applicant to
address comments received through this process, as follows:
• Adding additional connection and construction details for the paths connecting to the SMART right-of-way.
• Including conditions of approval related to work done within the Sonoma County Water
Agency easement.

Findings for Tentative Map
The criteria by which tentative map applications are evaluated are provided in Section 16.10.090 (Tentative maps – Department review and referral) of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code. Approval of a tentative map requires the following findings to be made:
1. The tentative map is 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 the Zoning Code; 2. The site is physically suitable for the type of development; 3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development;
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; 5. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not cause serious public health problems; 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; and 7. Any proposed phases and their proposed sequence of construction are identified on the submitted map.
As described in detail in the Planning Commission Resolution (Attachment 1), the proposed tentative map is consistent with the General Plan and the Amended SOMO Village Final Development Plan. The streets and lots created by the tentative map comply with the development standards within the Final Development Plan. The subdivision is within the density range of the
T3: Suburban Zone and T4: General Urban Zone transects and the site is physically suitable for
the type and density of development.
An Environmental Impact Report and Supplemental EIR were prepared and certified for the SOMO Village Project, the tentative map is consistent with the project evaluated in the EIR and SEIR, and will not cause substantial environmental damage or injury to habitat, with mitigation
measures incorporated.
The subdivision design and improvements will not cause serious public health problems – in fact many of the design concepts support public health by encouraging walking and cycling as alternatives to driving.
The development will be consistent with the City’s land use policies and building code
requirements and the developer is also working to develop in accordance with the One Planet
Living Framework for sustainable development.
The Tentative Map provides for the easements necessary to support public access, use and utilities. This Tentative Map is proposing a single phase of development.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The development contemplated by this tentative
map was first analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report for the Sonoma Mountain Village Planned Development (certified by the City Council on August 10, 2010 with Resolution 2010-101). Changes to the proposed development were re-analyzed in a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report, which was certified by the City Council on March 9, 2021 with Resolution 2021-
028. The proposed tentative map is consistent with the analyzed project. Further, the tentative map does not require preparation of a new subsequent or supplemental EIR under CEQA
Page 10 of 10
Guidelines Section 15162 and 15163, because there is no involvement of new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. All of the pertinent mitigation measures from the EIR and SEIR will continue to apply to the project and no new effects could occur and no new mitigation measures are required. Therefore, no further environmental analysis is required.
The mitigation measures adopted with the original and supplemental Environmental Impact Reports are being monitored by City staff and included in the proposed conditions of approval as
appropriate.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: A public hearing notice denoting the time, date, and location of this
hearing was published in the Community Voice on March 28, 2025. Property owners within 300 feet of the project site and interested parties requesting notification were also mailed notices, and the notice was posted pursuant to State law and the RPMC.
Planning Manager Approval Date: 03/26/2025

Section 3. Findings Regarding Tentative Map. The Planning Commission, in recommending to the City Council approval of the Tentative Map, hereby makes the following
findings pursuant to Government Code Section 66474 and Rohnert Park Municipal Code Section
16.10.090(E)(1):
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 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 and in that it will
provide for development included in the City’s strategy to meet its Regional
Housing Needs Allocation.
The proposed Tentative Map is consistent with the SOMO Village Final Development Plan, which controls this site. The Tentative Map depicts specific parcels for uses consistent with those in the Final Development Plan including
residential lots, parks and open space, planned roadways, paths, and existing and proposed 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 lots and blocks depicted in the proposed Tentative Map meet Municipal Code
requirements for development within the SOMO Village Planned Development Area. 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
Planning Commission Resolution 2025-03
Page 3 of 4
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 that would render
the residential portion of this site unsuitable for development. The sites reserved
for parks and open space are physically suitable for the proposed amenities, in that environmentally sensitive wetland areas will be conserved as open space, with parks and recreation amenities only proposed for developable land without environmental limitations.
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
Criteria Satisfied. The site is of sufficient size to allow for the proposed density of development proposed by the Tentative Map. The shape, topography, and physical characteristics of the site were taken into consideration during the development of the Tentative Map, and lots are placed appropriately to account for
physical factors. The Tentative Map is consistent with the density ranges provided
for in the Final Development Plan and complies with applicable density regulations
of the SOMO Village Planned Development Zoning District.
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 certified 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 City also adopted required CEQA Findings,
Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program for the project consistent with CEQA. 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 Tentative Map is consistent with the project analyzed in the EIR and SEIR, which are incorporated herein by this reference, and would not
result in additional environmental effects.
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 2N-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
Planning Commission Resolution 2025-03
Page 4 of 4
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.
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 not conflict with any 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 2N-A, is
proposed as a single phase of development.
Section 4. The Planning Commission does hereby recommend that the City Council make the findings set forth above and approve Application No. PLSD24-0001 for the Tentative Map for SOMO Village Development Phase 2N-A, attached hereto as Exhibit A, subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth in Exhibit B.

sponsor and/or their representatives shall initiate an informal consultation with the USFWS and CDFW to discuss measures to avoid a potential take of CTS during construction. Although details of these measures would be developed in consultation with the USFWS and CDFW, they would likely include:
• Retaining a qualified biologist, approved by the City, to conduct a preconstruction survey of the project site area to ensure that no potential upland retreat habitat has been created (i.e., through ground
squirrel activity) since the 2004 habitat assessment,
• Seasonal restrictions on grading and construction to avoid the wet season dispersal period (i.e., October
through March),
• Installation of drift fences around the perimeter of the construction area to prevent any CTS from moving
into the area,
• Providing compensation for loss of CTS upland habitat, as required by the USFWS and CDFW (either
through avoidance, or purchase of mitigation credits at a USFWS/CDFW approved bank), if any suitable
habitat is found during the preconstruction surveys referenced above, and,
• Retaining qualified biologists, approved by the City, to monitor the project site area during construction
to ensure that no CTS would be harmed.
• Assuming complete avoidance can be achieved, no incidental take permit from either CDFW or USFWS
would be required. However, if CTS are discovered to be present in the project site area, and a “take” of

Species Act) and CDFW (pursuant to Section 2081 of the California Endangered Species Act) to obtain an
incidental take permits for loss of any individual CTS. Details of the requirements of the Incidental Take Permit
would be developed during consultation with the USFWS and CDFW, but would likely include (but not be
limited to) the following.
• Preparation of a Biological Assessment pursuant to Section 7 of the FESA for submission to the USFWS
for their review.
• Retaining qualified, permitted biologists to monitor for, and potentially move CTS outside of the project

If it is determined by the USACE that these features are jurisdictional, then the project sponsor would have the following options: avoidance, removal and replacement mitigation, or a combination thereof. If the avoidance option is adopted, a minimum 100 foot wetland buffer zone setback would be established. The project sponsor shall coordinate with the USACE to ensure that the most feasible mitigation option is incorporated. Where avoidance of existing wetlands is not feasible, then mitigation measures shall be implemented for the project related loss of any existing wetlands on site, such that there is no-net loss of wetland acreage or habitat value. Wetland habitat acreage replacement can be greater than the acreage of wetlands that fall under the jurisdiction of the USACE and/or the RWQCB.
Wetland mitigation shall be developed as a part of the Section 404 CWA permitting process, or for non-

jurisdictional wetlands, during permitting through the RWQCB and/or CDFW. Mitigation is to be provided
prior to issuance of grading permits for phases with the potential to impact wetlands. Mitigation could include
purchase of the appropriate amount of credits from a Santa Rosa Plain mitigation bank. The exact mitigation
ratio is variable, based on the type and value of the wetlands that would be affected by the project, but
agency standards typically require a minimum of 1:1 for preservation and 1:1 for the construction of new
wetlands. In addition, a wetland mitigation and monitoring plan shall be developed that includes the
following:
• Descriptions of the wetland types, and their expected functions and values;
• Performance standards and monitoring protocol to ensure the success of the mitigation wetlands over a period of five to ten years;
• Engineering plans showing the location, size and configuration of wetlands to be created or restored;
• An implementation schedule showing that construction of mitigation areas will commence prior to or
concurrently with the initiation of project construction; and
• A description of legal protection measures for the preserved wetlands (i.e., dedication of fee title, conservation easement, and/or an endowment held by an approved conservation organization, government agency or mitigation bank).
Mitigation is to be provided prior to the issuance of grading permits for phases with the potential to impact wetlands, the project sponsor shall acquire all appropriate wetland permits. These permits may include but are not limited to a Section 404 Wetlands Fill Permit from the USACE, or a Report of Waste Discharge from the RWQCB, a Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the RWQCB, and, if necessary, a Section 1601 Streambed Alteration Agreement from the CDFW
Gp19 Consistent with MM 3.3-3, In addition to the wintering and nesting season surveys, pre-construction surveys
shall be conducted by a qualified biologist, approved by the City, within 14 days prior to the start of ground-
disturbing work activities in known or suitable habitat areas. If burrowing owls are discovered during that
survey, development of buffers or implementation of passive exclusion may be needed (MM 3.3-3(b) through
3.3-3(d)). A final clearance survey shall be conducted no more than 24 hours before ground disturbing
activities All surveys shall be conducted in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation
(CDFG 2012).
If the above surveys do not identify any burrowing owls on the project site, no further mitigation would be
required. However, should any individual burrowing owls or burrowing owl nests be located, Mitigation
Measure 3.3-3(b), Mitigation Measure 3.3-3(c), and Mitigation Measure 3.3-3(d) shall be implemented
If burrowing owls are discovered in the project area, the project sponsor shall notify the City and CDFW. A
qualified biologist, approved by the City, shall implement a routine monitoring program and establish a fenced
exclusion zone around each occupied burrow. No construction activities shall be allowed within the exclusion
zone until such time that the burrows are determined to be unoccupied. The buffer zones shall be a minimum
of 100 160 feet from an occupied burrow during the non-breeding season (September 1 through January 31),
and a minimum of 656 feet from an occupied burrow during the breeding season (February 1 through August
31).
The project sponsor shall provide appropriate passive
relocation mitigation for project-related effects on the burrowing owl in consultation with CDFW. No
relocation shall occur during the breeding season (i.e., passive relocation of burrowing owls can only be

conducted during the non-breeding season). Mitigation can be conducted either on the project site, or at an
off-site location that is approved by the CDFW. Preference is for on-site within open space areas, if possible.
The CDFW shall be consulted regarding the implementation of avoidance or passive relocation methods, and may require preparation of a Burrowing Owl Exclusion Plan, consistent with Appendix E of CDFG 2012). All activities that would result in a disturbance to burrows shall be approved by CDFW prior to implementation.
Gp20 Consistent with MM 3.3-4, if construction is to occur between March 15 through August 30, the project
sponsor, in consultation with the CDFW, shall conduct a pre- construction nesting bird survey of the project
site within 14 days of when construction is planned to begin. The survey shall be conducted by a qualified
biologist, approved by the City, to determine if any birds are nesting on or directly adjacent to the project site.
The project sponsor shall avoid all active bird nests located in and directly adjacent to the project site during
the breeding season (approximately March 15 through August 30) while the nest is occupied with adults
and/or young. This avoidance could consist of delaying construction to avoid the nesting season. Any occupied
nest shall be monitored by a qualified biologist, approved by the City, to determine when the nest is no longer
used. If the construction cannot be delayed, avoidance shall include the establishment of a non-disturbance
buffer zone around the nest site. The size of the buffer zone shall be approved by the CDFW. The buffer zone
shall be delineated by highly visible temporary construction fencing

Gp21 Pre-construction roosting bat surveys and evaluation of roosting habitat suitability for pallid bat shall be conducted by a qualified bat biologist familiar with these species within 14 days prior to any tree removal or construction activities that occurs during the breeding season (April through August). A qualified bat biologist shall have experience performing roosting bat surveys, and be able to identify guano and urine stains at a
minimum. For trees, roosting habitat characteristics to be determined by the qualified bat biologist would be
height and structure of the tree, presence of obscuring foliage, peeling or loose bark, cracks or gaps within the
trunk or crotch of the tree, and/or presence of woodpecker holes. If the qualified biologist determines that
the tree does not provide potential roosting habitat for pallid bat listed above, no further mitigation is
required.
Trees or structures determined to have potential roosting habitat shall be removed after the time when bat
maternity roosts would be vacated (typically beginning in July/August), but before hibernation begins
(typically in October/November). For pallid bat, this would limit tree removal to the time period from
September to early October (Western Bat Working Group 2018). The trees shall be removed in the late
afternoon hours or close to dusk so that any bats potentially using a tree as a day roost will be active and able
to leave the roost, and if so, will be minimally impacted by thermal stress and able to locate an alternative
roost nearby.

specifications, inclusive of earth-disturbance required for the project, that instruct operators of site-grading
and excavation equipment to be observant for unusual or suspect archaeological materials that may surface from below during site-grading and excavation operations. Archaeological materials include features such as concentrations of artifacts or culturally modified (darkened) soil deposits including trash pits older than fifty years of age.
In the event that unknown archaeological remains are discovered during subsurface excavation and
construction, land alteration work in the vicinity of the find shall be halted and a qualified archeologist

consulted. Prompt evaluations could then be made regarding the find and a resource management plan that
is consistent with CEQA requirements could then be implemented. If prehistoric archeological deposits are
discovered, local Native American organizations shall be consulted and involved in making resource
management decisions. All applicable State and local legal requirements concerning the treatment of cultural
materials and Native American burials shall be enforced.
If subsequent investigations result in the recording of prehistoric archeological sites that cannot be avoided
and preserved, and the importance of the cultural deposits cannot be determined from surface evidence,
then subsurface testing programs shall take place to make such determinations. Testing procedures shall be
designed to specifically determine the boundaries of sites, the depositional integrity, and the cultural
importance of the resources, as per CEQA criteria. These investigations shall be conducted by qualified
professionals knowledgeable in regional prehistory. The testing programs shall be conducted within the
context of appropriate research considerations and shall result in detailed technical reports that define the
exact disturbance implications for important resources and present comprehensive programs for addressing
such disturbances.
Measures similar to the ones described below would also apply:
• Avoidance of an archaeological site through modification of the roadway plan line that would allow for the preservation of the resource
• Covering or “capping” sites with a protective layer of fill; this could be a good way of mitigating situations
where public access may be increased as a result of development. Archaeological monitoring during the
filling process would be recommended
In circumstances where archaeological deposits cannot be preserved through avoidance or
capping, data recovery through excavation would be the alternative.
This measure would consist of excavating those portions of the site(s) that would be adversely affected. The
work shall be accomplished within the context of detailed research and in accordance with current
professional standards. The program should result in extraction of sufficient volumes of archaeological data so
that important regional research considerations can be addressed. The excavation should be accomplished by
qualified professionals and detailed technical reports should result.
In considering subsurface testing and excavations of prehistoric archaeological sites, consultation with the
local Native American community is essential; all aspects of the programs, including the treatment of cultural
materials and particularly the removal, study and reinternment of Native American burials shall be addressed.
All applicable State and local legal requirements concerning these issues shall be strictly adhered to.

City of Rohnert Park
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: April 10, 2025
Item No: 6.2
Prepared by: Elliott Pickett, Associate Planner
Jenna Garcia, Housing Manager
Agenda Title: Receive the Annual Report on the Status of the General Plan and Housing Element for Calendar Year 2024 (This is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA))
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive the Annual Report on the Status of the General Plan and
Housing Element for Calendar Year 2024.
BACKGROUND: Government Code Section 65400 requires local jurisdictions to submit an Annual
Progress Report on the status of policies and programs of the jurisdiction’s adopted General Plan and
Housing Element and on the progress made toward reaching the jurisdiction’s Regional Housing
Needs Allocation (RHNA) targets. This report must be provided to the jurisdiction’s legislative bodies
and submitted to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Department of
Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1st of each year. This report was provided to
the City Council on March 25th, has been submitted to the State, and is now being provided to the
Planning Commission for informational purposes.
This report provides the City of Rohnert Park’s progress in implementing the City’s General Plan 2020
and its progress toward meeting the City’s RHNA during the 2024 calendar year.
ANALYSIS: All cities and counties are required to adopt a General Plan to guide future development
within their jurisdiction. The City of Rohnert Park’s current General Plan 2020 was adopted in 2000,
and has been amended a number of times since then. General Plan 2020 includes the following
mandatory components:
• Land Use
• Transportation (addresses Circulation)
• Open Space
• Environmental Conservation (also addresses Air Quality)
• Health and Safety
2
• Noise
• Housing
In 2023, the City adopted a comprehensive update of the Housing Element as required by state law. A
comprehensive update to the General Plan (General Plan 2040) is expected to be completed and ready
for adoption in Summer or Fall 2025.
General Plan Progress:
In 2024, the City continued implementing policies and working toward goals in the currently adopted
General Plan (General Plan 2020), while continuing work on the General Plan update (General Plan
2040). Through these policies, the City has continued operational practices and implemented new
programs for safety, fiscal responsibility, sustainability, cohesive community development, and
worked toward the best means of meeting the needs of the residents and priorities of the City Council.
The City’s 2024 accomplishments, guided by the General Plan, include the development of new parks
and infrastructure for new development, support for local businesses, the preparation of a landfill
diversion plan, and flood safety improvements through interdepartmental coordination. Progress in
meeting specific goals is outlined in Attachment 1.
Housing Element Progress:
The Housing Element is one of the mandated elements of the General Plan and must be updated on a
set schedule, consistent with the eight-year cycle of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)
process. The City is currently reporting under its 2023 Housing Element, which covers the period
between 2023 and 2031. The Housing Element Annual Progress Report for Calendar Year 2024
(Attachment 2) reports units entitled, permitted and occupied from January 1, 2024 through December
31, 2024; and is organized by affordability level.
Housing affordability is measured as a percentage of area median income (AMI), which is calculated
and updated regularly by HCD. The base income is defined by a household of four and adjustments are
made by HCD for other household sizes. The most current data for Sonoma County, which became
effective on June 1, 2024, is summarized in Table 1 below.
Table 1: 2024 Area Median Income (AMI) Levels
For the Housing Element 2023-2031 cycle, Rohnert Park’s total RHNA is 1,580 units, with the
affordability profile presented in Table 2.

The Housing Element Annual Progress Report RHNA Progress table (copied as Table 3 below)
presents the total number of housing units permitted in the City from the beginning of the RHNA cycle
(June 30, 2022) through December 31, 2024. This data is compared to the Regional Housing Needs
Allocation (RHNA) by income level for the current cycle, providing a comprehensive overview of
progress toward meeting housing needs across different income categories.

With 286 market-rate units permitted since July 1, 2022, the City is on track to meet its goal of 686
units for the “above moderate-income” level. In the second year of its 8-year RHNA cycle, the City
has issued permits for 42% of the overall units in this income category.
Figure 1 below illustrates the City’s RHNA allocation for above moderate-income (blue) compared to
units permitted June 30, 2022 through December 31, 2024 for above moderate-income units (orange.)
Figure 1: RHNA Above Moderate-Income Allocations
Compared to Permitted Units through Dec 2024
The City is currently not meeting its housing targets for lower-income and moderate-income
categories. Although it has made some progress in the very low-income category, permitting 69 out of
the 399 required units (17% of the target), it is significantly behind in meeting the RHNA targets for
low-income and moderate-income housing. To date, the City has only fulfilled 5% and 2% of the
overall RHNA targets for these categories, respectively.
The City's current shortfall in meeting its affordable housing targets is influenced by several factors,
including the timing of planned developments such as Downtown and SOMO Village. The Downtown
project is anticipated to deliver 100 affordable units, while SOMO Village is expected to provide over
200 affordable units during this cycle. Other developments, like Redwood Crossings (11 affordable
units), Snyder Lane Commons (6 affordable units), and Willowglen Phase 4/Townhome Phase (12
affordable units), also include affordable housing.
Additionally, the City can count Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) toward its affordable housing
goals. Over the past two years, the City has averaged about 15 ADUs annually, up from around five
per year in previous years. As these projects progress and more permits are issued, the number of units
in these income categories is expected to rise. However, the City relies heavily on its Housing Element
5
programs to promote and incentivize affordable housing development. An update on these programs is
provided below.
Figure 2, below, illustrates the City’s RHNA allocations (blue) compared to units permitted through
June 30, 2022 (orange) for each of the below-market-rate income levels.
Figure 2: RHNA Below-Market Rate Allocations Compared to
Permitted Units through Dec 2024
The City's 2023 Housing Element incorporates several programs and policies designed to support the
development of housing across all income levels. The City has already initiated the implementation of
many of these programs and will continue this process over the next six years. A detailed report on the
status of Housing Element program implementation is included in Attachment 2. Certain aspects of
program implementation require City Council action, such as considering amendments to the City's
Municipal Code.
Some key actions taken by the City in 2024 to support Housing Element program goals include:
• Approved Snyder Lane Commons, a 32-unit townhome project which includes six affordable
units.
• Approved recordation of Southeast Specific Plan Phase 4 which will result in 76 units upon
completion.

Among the key Housing Element programs that staff intend to take action on in 2025 are:
• Updates to align the City's Municipal Code with recent changes in state law.
• Creation of a dedicated website for housing developers featuring a map, housing site summaries, and other tools to facilitate housing development.
• On March 25, 2025, the City Council will consider a resolution to submit an application with a local nonprofit housing developer to Homekey+ for converting an existing hotel into a 68-unit permanent supportive housing project.
• Staff is currently evaluating potential anti-displacement strategies and plans to present
recommendations to the City Council in 2025.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: This action is not a project under CEQA Guidelines Section
15378(b)(5) because the receiving the Annual Report on the General Plan and Housing Element is an
administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. No
additional environmental analysis is necessary.

Annual Report on the Status of the Rohnert Park General Plan
Calendar Year 2024
Government Code Section 65400 mandates that the planning agencies of cities submit an annual report on
the status of the General Plan and progress on the implementation to their legislative bodies, the
Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) each year. The report must address each City’s progress in its General Plan
implementation, including the progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs. The intent of this
requirement is to ensure that the General Plan directs all land use decisions and remains an effective guide
for future development. The information that follows complies with the Government Code requirements
related to the provision of an annual report on the status of the Rohnert Park General Plan.
Status of the Rohnert Park General Plan
The Rohnert Park General Plan was adopted in July 2000 and has been amended a number of times to stay
current. The General Plan includes the following mandatory components:
• Land Use
• Transportation/Circulation
• Housing
• Open Space (Parks and Recreation)
• Noise
• Health and Safety
• Environmental Conservation (including Air Quality)
During 2024, the following amendments to the General Plan were approved:
• Resolution No. 2024-022: The General Plan Diagram and figures within the General Plan were
updated to reflect the expansion of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria’s Tribal Reservation
• Resolution No. 2024-046: The Land Use Element of the General Plan was updated to allow for
additional development within the University Specific Plan Area for the Snyder Lane Commons
Townhomes.
