15.2 REPORT - SANTA ROSA HOUSING - REPORT #1: FUNDING
RESOURCES
BACKGROUND: The City Council conducted the first of two study
sessions on October 20, 2015, to define affordable housing needs,
document current housing inventory, document existing housing
programs and funding and to estimate the costs of achieving affordable
housing production as set forth in the City’s General Plan Housing
Element.
The second study session was held on November 10, 2015, to consider
opportunities and actions for increasing affordable housing supply and
conserving and rehabilitating existing affordable housing, and to provide
direction for pursing affordable housing production, funding and related
regulatory and procedural reforms.
As the result of the second study session the Council directed staff to
return with a housing action plan that:
• Shifts housing production emphasis toward higher density
development and “infill” sites
• Increases production of market rate housing
• Increases private-sector production of affordable housing units
• Increases City investment and participation in housing production
City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report
Page 12 of 16
City Council FEBRUARY 23, 2016
During the past two months City staff has collaborated to development
two key components of the requested housing action program; 1)
Planning Department regulatory and procedural reforms; and 2)
Expanded and new programs to increase housing supply. The
recommendations set forth in this Staff Report initiate a process of
program development and review that will occur over the next several
months.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and
Community Services Department that the Council, by motion, direct staff
to: 1) Sustain existing level of General Fund support for the City’s
homeless and housing programs; 2) Develop a set of regulatory and
financial incentives to offset Housing Impact Fees, charged to rental
housing projects and consider increasing the Housing Impact Fees
(within the limits set forth in the Nexus Study) to encourage on-site
production of affordable rental housing units; 3) Following completion of a
Commercial Linkage Fee Nexus Study, consider imposing the fee at a
level deemed not to inhibit desired commercial development; 4) Seek
voter approval of a tax measure supporting housing programs and
homeless services; 5) Consider short-term General Fund investments in
housing programs and planning services to stimulate housing production
and economic development; 6) Consider increase housing program
funding using an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) or
similar tax increment mechanisms.

15.4 REPORT - AMENDMENT TO CITY COUNCIL POLICY NO. 000-50,
TRAVEL AND EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT POLICY FOR EXPENSES
INCURRED BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND
COUNCIL-APPOINTED MEMBERS OF CITY BOARDS,
COMMISSIONS, AND ADVISORY COMMITTEES
BACKGROUND: The proposed amendment updates the policy to ensure
per diem rates are designed to reimburse travelers for their actual costs.
In order to ensure proper reimbursement, the policy uses the U.S.
General Services Administration (GSA) identified per diem rates for
specific areas of travel. Use of the GSA determined rates is the most
efficient way to ensure proper reimbursement as their published rates are
updated annually and are variable depending on the travel area.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Finance Department
that the Council, by resolution, adopt the amended Council Policy No.
000-50, Travel and Expense Reimbursement Policy for Expenses

15.5 REPORT - SUPPLEMENTAL PAY FOR EXEMPT MANAGEMENT
EMPLOYEES ASSIGNED SIGNIFICANT EXTRA WORKLOAD
City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report
Page 14 of 16
City Council FEBRUARY 23, 2016
BACKGROUND: City Council has approved a number of pay policies to
address an employee assuming more complex duties which are above
their current job classification through “Out of Class” pay; and “Acting”
pay for employees assuming duties of a higher classification. There is
currently no policy to address employees being assigned extra duties
and work volume within their job classification, resulting in significant
extra workload. Exempt management employees are not eligible for
overtime. Recent organizational changes have required employees to be
assigned to special project teams or assume responsibilities in multiple
departments where a staff shortage may exist.
The “Supplemental Compensation” will serve as a tool for the City
Manager to compensate employees for work assignments which exceed
normal workloads. The “Supplemental Compensation” is intended to be
temporary and not meant to be a permanent pay adjustment.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Manager’s Office
and the Human Resources Department that the Council, by resolution,
approve a policy to temporarily supplement compensation for exempt
management employees.

16.1 PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING CODE TEXT AMENDMENT -
ORDINANCE TO ALLOW COMMERCIAL CULTIVATION OF MEDICAL
CANNABIS WITH A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - FILE NO.
REZ15-007
BACKGROUND: In response to recent state legislation, the Medical
Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act (MMRSA), and unanimous City
Council direction provided on January 19, 2016, staff has prepared an
ordinance adding Chapter 20-46, Titled Medical Cannabis Cultivation to
City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report
Page 15 of 16
City Council FEBRUARY 23, 2016
the Santa Rosa City Code. This Chapter as proposed would allow the
commercial cultivation of medical cannabis in the General Commercial
(CG), Light Industrial (IL), General Industrial (IG), Business Park (BP),
and Limited Light Industrial (LIL) Districts with a Conditional Use Permit.
The ordinance would apply only to commercial cultivation; it would not
apply to personal cultivation which is exempt by state law. On January
19, 2016, the City Council also initiated (7-0-0) a zoning code text
amendment effort to comprehensively address medical cannabis. The
ordinance would be in effect until such time as the City completes the
comprehensive policy.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning Commission
that the Council adopt an ordinance adding Chapter 20-46, Medical
Cannabis Cultivation to the Santa Rosa City Code, to retain local control
and permit commercial cultivation of medical cannabis in the Light
Industrial (IL), General Industrial (IG), and Limited Light Industrial (LIL)
with a Conditional Use Permit until such time as the City completes its
comprehensive effort to regulate medical cannabis.
