13. REPORT ITEMS
13.1 REPORT - SOUTHEAST GREENWAY EXISTING CONDITIONS,
OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS REPORT AND PROPOSED
INITIATION OF GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT, REZONING AND
ASSOCIATED ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
BACKGROUND: In July 2015, the Council entered into a Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) with Caltrans, Sonoma Land Trust, and the
Southeast Greenway Community Partnership. The Partnership is
comprised of City of Santa Rosa, Sonoma County Regional Parks,
Sonoma County Water Agency, Southeast Greenway Campaign, and
Landpaths. Preparation of a report assessing existing conditions and
plans to identify opportunities and constraints affecting the approximately
57 acre site comprised of undeveloped Highway 12 right of way between
Farmers Lane and Spring Lake Regional Park in southeast Santa Rosa
was a component of the MOU.
The report titled “Southeast Greenway Existing Conditions,
Opportunities, and Constraints” was prepared by City staff to provide
background information. A key issue identified in the report is that the 57
acre site does not currently have a General Plan designation. If the
Council adopts the resolution initiating a General Plan Amendment and
Rezoning of the site with initial direction about future land uses, a
Request for Proposal will be issued and City staff will bring a contract for
planning and environmental consultant support for the project to the
Council by January 2016. A key component of the community planning
process will be public engagement and participation.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Manager’s Office
that the Council, by motion, accept the report titled “Southeast Greenway
Existing Conditions, Opportunities, and Constraints” and, by resolution,
initiate a General Plan Amendment and Rezoning of the approximately
