A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
APPROVING THE DRAFT CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND NON-BINDING
PRELIMINARY STAGE TERM SHEET PURSUANT TO THE EXCLUSIVE
AGREEMENT TO NEGOTIATE BETWEEN THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK AND
CENTERCAL PROPERTIES LLC FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF 6400 STATE FARM
DRIVE
WHEREAS,the City is the owner of an approximately 29.88-acre parcel of real property,
commonly known as 6400 State Farm Drive in Rohnert Park, California, Assessor Parcel Number
143-051-072-000 ("Property"); and
WHEREAS, City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for development of the
Property on November 1, 2023, with a deadline to submit qualifications by January 18, 2024; and
WHERAS, the City reviewed all submissions received in response to the RFQ and
determined that CenterCal Properties, LLC ("CenterCal") would be best suited to develop the
Property; and
WHEREAS, the City and CenterCal entered into an Exclusive Agreement to Negotiate
("ENA") dated October 22, 2024, governing an exclusive relationship to negotiate in good faith
during two (2) phases of the overall "Negotiation Period": the Preliminary Stage and the DDA
Stage, for the eventual purchase and sale and development of the Proeprty; and
WHEREAS, during the first phase of the Negotiation Period, known as the Preliminary
Stage, City staff have reviewed and commented on the Draft Conceptual Design prepared by
CenterCal and negotiated a non-binding Preliminary Stage Term Sheet; and
WHEREAS, the DDA Stage of the Negotiation Period does not commence unless and
until the City Council approves the Draft Conceptual Design and non-binding Preliminary Stage
Term Sheet before the expiration of the Preliminary Stage of the Negotiation Period; and
WHEREAS, since the initial approval of the ENA, the City Council has twice approved
extensions of the Preliminary Stage of the Negotiation Period to Dec. 31, 2025; now,therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park that it hereby finds as
follows:
1. The City previously certified and approved an Environmental Impact Report
("PDA EIR") prepared in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA") and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan ("PDA MMRP"), in
connection with the approval of the Central Rohnert Priority Development Area Plan ("PDA
Plan") and the Station Center Subarea and Downtown District Amenity Zone ("DDAZ") which
encompasses and governs land use of the Property.
2. The ENA anticipates that CenterCal Properties will pursue land use entitlements
that are consistent with the PDA Plan and the DDAZ and any development resulting from the
execution of this ENA will be subject to the provisions of the PDA MMRP.
3. Notwithstanding that this action to approve the Draft Conceptual Design and non-
binding Preliminary Stage Term Sheet is exempt from CEQA because it does not qualify as a
"project"pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15320,
15378 and 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the City's
action would cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable
indirect physical change in the environment, reliance on the PDA EIR for purposes of approval of
the Draft Conceptual Design and non-binding Preliminary Stage Term Sheet is also appropriate at
this time as there are no substantial changes to the project contemplated by the term sheet, no
substantial changes to the circumstances under which the project contemplated is undertaken, and
there is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known at the time the PDA
EIR was certified, which would otherwise require the preparation of a subsequent EIR or
supplement to the PDA EIR in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and 15163,
respectively.
4. Furthermore, as provided in Sections 5 and 9 of the ENA,the land use entitlements
required for any development of the Property remain subject to further CEQA review, and the City
retains all discretion in accordance with the law to evaluate the environmental impacts of any
proposed development on the Property proposed by CenterCal to the extent not adequately
addressed in the PDA EIR; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park that the Draft
Conceptual Design, attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the non-binding Preliminary Stage Term
Sheet Negotiation Matters Pursuant to Exclusive Agreement to Negotiate between the City of
Rohnert Park and CenterCal Properties, LLC, attached hereto as Exhibit B, are hereby approved;
and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Manager is hereby authorized to execute and to
take all actions necessary to implement the non-binding Preliminary Stage Term Sheet on behalf
of the City of Rohnert Park.
DULY AND REGULARLY ADOPTED BY TH ► COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ROHNERT PARK ON this 18th day of November, 2' .
