Regular Meeting Minutes
Page 11 of 25
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final July 11, 2017
ordinance under Government Code section 65858 that went into effect
immediately and is effective for a period of 45 days. The 45-day period
is set to end on July 28, 2017.
The draft comprehensive cannabis ordinance is being finalized by staff
and will be published for public comment on June 30, 2017. The draft
ordinance and feedback received by the public will be presented to the

the Subcommittee, the draft will then go through public hearings before

to complete the public process of reviewing the comprehensive policy
and finalizing the regulations. Under Government Code section 65858,
Council may adopt a subsequent temporary urgency ordinance to
maintain the moratorium in effect for up to an additional 10 months and
15 days allowing time to complete the process. Under the City Charter,
five affirmative votes are necessary to adopt an urgency ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and
Economic Development Department that the Council adopt an urgency
ordinance to impose a temporary moratorium on the eligibility of the

14.6 REPORT - REAL PROPERTY TRANSFER TAX/AFFORDABLE
HOUSING ALLOCATION PLAN
BACKGROUND: Like many cities throughout the state and the nation,
City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Minutes
Page 22 of 25
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final July 11, 2017
the City of Santa Rosa faces an unprecedented housing crisis. This
crisis is arguably the result of inadequate funding for affordable housing
construction over previous decades, coupled with complex layer-caking
of regulation, as well as economic recession. Should the City of Santa
Rosa wish to encourage more housing construction to meet the rising
needs of the City’s low-to-moderate-income populations, and do so in a
way that promotes inclusionary housing practices, the City will need to
make incentive funding available (i.e. subsidies).
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Council, by
resolution, adopt a policy to increase the annual appropriation of Real
Property Transfer Tax (RPTT) to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund in
the amount of five percent (5%) each fiscal year, beginning FY 2018-19
and ending FY 2032-33.

14.2 REPORT - URGENCY ORDINANCE TO IMPOSE A TEMPORARY
MORATORIUM ON THE ELIGIBILITY OF THE LIMITED LIGHT
INDUSTRIAL (-LIL) COMBINING DISTRICT FOR MEDICAL CANNABIS
COMMERCIAL CULTIVATION
BACKGROUND: On June 13, 2017, the City Council approved a
temporary ordinance establishing a moratorium on the eligibility of the
Limited Light Industrial (-LIL) Combining District for medical cannabis
commercial cultivation. The temporary moratorium was an urgency
ordinance under Government Code section 65858 that went into effect
immediately and is effective for a period of 45 days. The 45-day period
is set to end on July 28, 2017.
The draft comprehensive cannabis ordinance is being finalized by staff
and will be published for public comment on June 30, 2017. The draft
ordinance and feedback received by the public will be presented to the
Medical Cannabis Policy Subcommittee in July. Following a review with
the Subcommittee, the draft will then go through public hearings before
the Planning Commission and the City Council in late 2017.
The moratorium on the eligibility of the Limited Light Industrial (-LIL)
Combining District for medical cannabis commercial cultivation is being
included in the draft comprehensive cannabis policy effort. Due to
expiration of the moratorium on July 28, 2017, additional time is needed
to complete the public process of reviewing the comprehensive policy
and finalizing the regulations. Under Government Code section 65858,
Council may adopt a subsequent temporary urgency ordinance to
maintain the moratorium in effect for up to an additional 10 months and
15 days allowing time to complete the process. Under the City Charter,
five affirmative votes are necessary to adopt an urgency ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and
City of Santa Rosa

14.6 REPORT - REAL PROPERTY TRANSFER TAX/AFFORDABLE
HOUSING ALLOCATION PLAN
BACKGROUND: Like many cities throughout the state and the nation,
the City of Santa Rosa faces an unprecedented housing crisis. This
crisis is arguably the result of inadequate funding for affordable housing
construction over previous decades, coupled with complex layer-caking
of regulation, as well as economic recession. Should the City of Santa
Rosa wish to encourage more housing construction to meet the rising
needs of the City’s low-to-moderate-income populations, and do so in a
way that promotes inclusionary housing practices, the City will need to
make incentive funding available (i.e. subsidies).
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Council, by
resolution, adopt a policy to increase the annual appropriation of Real
Property Transfer Tax (RPTT) to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund in
the amount of five percent (5%) each fiscal year, beginning FY 2018-19
and ending FY 2032-33.

15. PUBLIC HEARINGS
Public Hearing matters will begin no earlier than 5:00 p.m. or as soon
thereafter as the matters are reached on the agenda.
15.1 PUBLIC HEARING - ADOPTION OF REVISED ANIMAL SERVICES
FEES
BACKGROUND: Sonoma County Animal Services (SCAS) provides
sheltering, administrative, and field services for the City of Santa Rosa,
unincorporated areas of the County, the Town of Windsor, and is
responsible for rabies control for the entire County. SCAS is requesting
additional fee increases to help cover increasing costs of providing
services. Fees and penalties collected for some services delivered to
residents of the City of Santa Rosa are applied to offset the City’s net
cost for services.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Manager’s Office
and Sonoma County Animal Services that the Council, by resolution,
approve and adopt revised animal services fees.
