PROPOSED OPENING
BACKGROUND: On March 9, 2018, neighborhood representatives of
the Kelsey Knolls area provided a petition to Transportation and Public
Works requesting that the Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) gate on
Kelsey Knolls be removed. Kelsey Knolls has been constructed to a
minor street standard and, at one point, was planned to be opened to
through traffic. The residents, at that time, requested the EVA gate to
remain closed. Due to the recent fire events, the residents have now
requested the gate be removed and the road opened to through traffic.
Other residents have requested the gate remain closed. Transportation
and Public Works, the Fire Department and the Police Department have
no objections to the proposed gate removal.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and
Public Works Department that the Council, by resolution, approve the

14.3 REPORT - SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENTS AND BOND PROCEEDS
DISBURSEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SANTA
ROSA AND SECTARIAN PROPERTIES, INC.
BACKGROUND: The Village Gardens project, a 110 lot residential
subdivision located at the intersection of Sebastopol Avenue and Boyd
Street, was left dormant with incomplete public improvements during the
recent economic downturn. Performance bonds were obtained from
the original developer to ensure the successful completion of the public
improvements associated with the project. The City and bonding
company entered into a Takeover Agreement, whereupon the surety
accepted the obligation of completing the remaining improvements. The
City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Minutes

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final May 1, 2018
surety ultimately determined that it would not complete the work and
instead tendered a sum of $1,186,340.98 to cover the cost of
completing the remaining public improvements. Sectarian Properties,
Inc., the current developer of the Village Gardens project, is requesting
a reimbursement equaling a portion of the amount tendered by the
surety in exchange for completing the public improvements for Village
Gardens.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and
Economic Development Department that the Council, by resolution,
approve the Subdivision Improvements and Bond Proceeds

City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Minutes
Page 13 of 20
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final May 1, 2018
approval, with minor changes, by the Planning Commission on February
8, 2018. On April 3, 2018, the City Council voted 6-1 to adopt the
sections of the ordinance that relate to temporary housing and
structures, and accessory dwelling units. Through a separate action,
the Council voted unanimously to continue proposed Sections
20-16.060 (Reduced Review Authority for Certain Uses), 20-16.070
(Modifications to the Design Review Process), and 20-16.080 (Changes
to an Approved Residential, Lodging or Childcare Facility Project) to the
April 24, 2018 City Council meeting. Direction was provided to staff to
develop specific criteria for those projects that would receive reduced
review authority, require that Zoning Administrator meetings for affected
projects be held in the evening, to include Emergency Shelters in the
list of uses for reduced review authority, excluding the Open Space
zoning districts, and to require monthly reports to Council on
implementation of the ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning Commission
and the Planning and Economic Development Department that the
Council introduce an ordinance amending Title 20 of the Santa Rosa
City Code, adding Sections 20-16.060 through 20-16.090 to Chapter
20-16, Resilient City Development Measures, to address housing needs

15.2 PUBLIC HEARING - PUBLIC HEARING AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION
OF THE 2016 - 2020 AMENDED CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND FISCAL
YEAR 2018/2019 ACTION PLAN, AND APPROVAL OF GRANT
AGREEMENTS FOR PUBLIC SERVICES, FAIR HOUSING, AND
City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Minutes
Page 15 of 20
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final May 1, 2018
HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH AIDS
BACKGROUND: The proposed action will authorize submission of the
2016 - 2020 Amended Consolidated Plan and the Fiscal Year
2018/2019 Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban
Development (HUD) and approve Grant Agreements for public services,
fair housing and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS
(HOPWA). The Consolidated Plan is being substantially amended as
required by the City’s Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) to include the
contemplation of the use of HOME Investments Partnership Act (HOME)
funds for tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA). The use of a portion
of HOME funds for TBRA could provide additional funding for rental
subsidies. Submission of the annual Action Plan and the Amended
Consolidated Plan is required by HUD so that the City can continue to
receive federal housing and community development funds from HUD in
the form of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME, and
HOPWA grants.
In the past, HUD has required Santa Rosa to submit its Plans by May
15, however, because the funding allocations for grantees have not yet
been announced by HUD, HUD has instructed its grantees to delay
submission of their Plans to HUD until 60 days after the date funding
allocations are announced by Congress, or August 16, 2018, whichever
comes first. Because the timing for allocation announcements is
uncertain, the Housing & Community Services Department recommends
that Council act on the Plans and the Grant Agreements now so that the
Plans can be submitted when HUD instructs the City to do so, Grant
Agreements can be executed as soon as actual grant allocation
amounts are certain, and there is no interruption in public services.
As directed by HUD, and because HUD will not execute its grant
agreements with the City until it receives Plans that include the actual
amounts Santa Rosa will receive, the Plans include the statement that
all proposed activities’ budgets are estimates and will be proportionately
adjusted from the estimated funding levels to match the actual allocation
amounts.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing & Community
Services Department that the Council, by resolution:
City of Santa Rosa

14.1 REPORT - KELSEY KNOLLS EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS GATE
PROPOSED OPENING
BACKGROUND: On March 9, 2018, neighborhood representatives of
the Kelsey Knolls area provided a petition to Transportation and Public
Works requesting that the Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) gate on
Kelsey Knolls be removed. Kelsey Knolls has been constructed to a
minor street standard and, at one point, was planned to be opened to
through traffic. The residents, at that time, requested the EVA gate to
remain closed. Due to the recent fire events, the residents have now
requested the gate be removed and the road opened to through traffic.
Other residents have requested the gate remain closed. Transportation
and Public Works, the Fire Department and the Police Department have
no objections to the proposed gate removal.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and
Public Works Department that the Council, by resolution, approve the
opening of the Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) Gate on Kelsey Knolls
between Altruria Drive and Baldwin Way to through traffic to evaluate
traffic impacts.

14.2 REPORT - APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY 2018/19
SUBREGIONAL SYSTEM OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE,

BACKGROUND: The Subregional System, managed by the City of
Santa Rosa per Agreement, is a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment
facility serving five member agencies (Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park,
Sebastopol, Cotati, and the Sonoma County South Park Sanitation
District, each hereinafter referred to as “User Agency” or collectively as
“User Agencies”). The Laguna Treatment Plant is a tertiary-level
treatment facility permitted for 21.34 million gallons per day (MGD)
average dry weather flow. The operating Agreement requires that the
City annually prepare a Preliminary Budget and Allocation of Costs for
the Subregional System and notify the User Agencies of these costs by
May 1st of each year. The Agreement further requires that the
proposed budget and allocation of costs be reviewed by the
Subregional Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), the Board of Public
Utilities (BPU) and the Council of the City of Santa Rosa prior to
noticing the partners of operating and debt service costs due.
The Preliminary Subregional System Operations and Maintenance
(O&M) Fund budget request is $35,161,214, the Subregional System
cash-funded Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is $11,739,000 and
the Subregional System debt service due is $22,319,235.

14.3 REPORT - SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENTS AND BOND PROCEEDS
DISBURSEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SANTA
ROSA AND SECTARIAN PROPERTIES, INC.
BACKGROUND: The Village Gardens project, a 110 lot residential
subdivision located at the intersection of Sebastopol Avenue and Boyd
Street, was left dormant with incomplete public improvements during the
recent economic downturn. Performance bonds were obtained from
the original developer to ensure the successful completion of the public
improvements associated with the project. The City and bonding
company entered into a Takeover Agreement, whereupon the surety
accepted the obligation of completing the remaining improvements. The
surety ultimately determined that it would not complete the work and
instead tendered a sum of $1,186,340.98 to cover the cost of
completing the remaining public improvements. Sectarian Properties,
Inc., the current developer of the Village Gardens project, is requesting
a reimbursement equaling a portion of the amount tendered by the
surety in exchange for completing the public improvements for Village
Gardens.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and
Economic Development Department that the Council, by resolution,
approve the Subdivision Improvements and Bond Proceeds
Disbursement Agreement between the City of Santa Rosa and
Sectarian Properties, Inc.

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 - RESILIENT CITY DEVELOPMENT MEASURES
(This item was continued from the April 24, 2018, Regular Meeting)
BACKGROUND: Zoning Code Chapter 20-16, Resilient City
Development Measures, was prepared to address housing needs and
economic development Citywide following the Tubbs and Nuns fires of
October 2017. The draft ordinance was unanimously recommended for
approval, with minor changes, by the Planning Commission on February
8, 2018. On April 3, 2018, the City Council voted 6-1 to adopt the
sections of the ordinance that relate to temporary housing and
structures, and accessory dwelling units. Through a separate action,
the Council voted unanimously to continue proposed Sections
20-16.060 (Reduced Review Authority for Certain Uses), 20-16.070
(Modifications to the Design Review Process), and 20-16.080 (Changes
to an Approved Residential, Lodging or Childcare Facility Project) to the
April 24, 2018 City Council meeting. Direction was provided to staff to
develop specific criteria for those projects that would receive reduced
review authority, require that Zoning Administrator meetings for affected
projects be held in the evening, to include Emergency Shelters in the
list of uses for reduced review authority, excluding the Open Space
zoning districts, and to require monthly reports to Council on
implementation of the ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning Commission
and the Planning and Economic Development Department that the
Council introduce an ordinance amending Title 20 of the Santa Rosa
City Code, adding Sections 20-16.060 through 20-16.090 to Chapter

15.2 PUBLIC HEARING - PUBLIC HEARING AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION
OF THE 2016 - 2020 AMENDED CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND FISCAL
YEAR 2018/2019 ACTION PLAN, AND APPROVAL OF GRANT
AGREEMENTS FOR PUBLIC SERVICES, FAIR HOUSING, AND
HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH AIDS
BACKGROUND: The proposed action will authorize submission of the
2016 - 2020 Amended Consolidated Plan and the Fiscal Year
2018/2019 Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban
Development (HUD) and approve Grant Agreements for public services,
fair housing and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS
(HOPWA). The Consolidated Plan is being substantially amended as
required by the City’s Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) to include the
contemplation of the use of HOME Investments Partnership Act
(HOME) funds for tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA). The use of a
portion of HOME funds for TBRA could provide additional funding for
rental subsidies. Submission of the annual Action Plan and the
Amended Consolidated Plan is required by HUD so that the City can
continue to receive federal housing and community development funds
from HUD in the form of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG),
HOME, and HOPWA grants.
In the past, HUD has required Santa Rosa to submit its Plans by May
15, however, because the funding allocations for grantees have not yet
been announced by HUD, HUD has instructed its grantees to delay
submission of their Plans to HUD until 60 days after the date funding
allocations are announced by Congress, or August 16, 2018, whichever
City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report
Page 11 of 14
City Council MAY 1, 2018
comes first. Because the timing for allocation announcements is
uncertain, the Housing & Community Services Department recommends
that Council act on the Plans and the Grant Agreements now so that the
Plans can be submitted when HUD instructs the City to do so, Grant
Agreements can be executed as soon as actual grant allocation
amounts are certain, and there is no interruption in public services.
As directed by HUD, and because HUD will not execute its grant
agreements with the City until it receives Plans that include the actual
amounts Santa Rosa will receive, the Plans include the statement that
all proposed activities’ budgets are estimates and will be proportionately
adjusted from the estimated funding levels to match the actual
allocation amounts.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing & Community
Services Department that the Council, by resolution:
• Authorize submission of the 2016 - 2020 Amended Consolidated
Plan and the Fiscal Year 2018/2019 Action Plan to the U.S. Department
of Housing & Urban Development (HUD);
• Approve the Fiscal Year 2018/2019 Grant Agreements for public
services, fair housing, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS
(HOPWA) funds in the estimated amount of $648,469; and
• Authorize the City Manager to execute the Grant Agreements with
service providers, the annual federal funding agreements with HUD,
and any additional forms or documents required by HUD to implement
the 2016 - 2020 Amended Consolidated Plan and the Fiscal Year
2018/2019 Action Plan.
