PUBLIC HEARINGS 14.1 PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION FORMING THE SANTA ROSA RAILROAD SQUARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT DISTRICT AND LEVYING THE ASSESSMENT IN CONNECTION THEREWITH (This item was continued from the October 29, 2019, Cancelled Meeting) BACKGROUND: On September 10, 2019, District property owners met the requirements of the Community Benefit District (CBD) Ordinance by submitting qualified petitions requesting the initiation of proceedings to establish the District. A Santa Rosa Railroad Square Community Benefit District Management District Plan, certified by a qualified District Assessment Engineer, was prepared and submitted to the Santa Rosa City Clerk. This Plan was made available on the City’s website and in hard copy at the City Clerk’s Office. City of Santa Rosa Regular Meeting Minutes Page 10 of 17 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final November 5, 2019 On the same date, Council adopted a Resolution of Intention (Council Resolution RES-2019-141) to establish the District. The Resolution of Intention states that the assessment proposed to be levied and collected for Fiscal Year 2019-2020 is $231,826.09. The amount to be levied and collected for the subsequent years may be increased by a vote of the property owner Board of Directors by an amount not to exceed five percent (5%) per year. Due to the special benefit nature of assessments levied within a CBD, program costs are distributed amongst all identified specially benefited properties based on the proportional amount of special program benefits each property is expected to derive from the assessments collected. The purpose of the assessments is to fund physical improvements, attract new customers, and increase business sales through maintenance, special events, marketing and other such activities. The methodology used for the assessment is calculated based on a given property’s linear frontage, lot size square footage, and building square footage. Future residential condominiums constructed within the District will have a separate calculation as identified in the management district plan included in this packet, in that linear frontage and lot size are not relevant to residential condominiums. A more detailed breakdown of the assessment methodology can be found in Section 4 of the Management District Plan. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and Economic Development Department that the Council hold a public hearing to consider oral and written testimony regarding the formation of a community benefit improvement district, and tabulate all assessment ballots returned to the City pursuant to procedures set forth in the Resolution of Intention; and, if the assessment balloting does not result in a majority protest, then waive first reading and approve the resolution forming the Santa Rosa Railroad Square Community Benefit District and levying and collecting the Assessment in connection therewith.

Because the property is located within the South Park Planned Development Community, and the South Park Policy Statement does not permit the use, the approval is contingent upon the property being rezoned into the CG (General Commercial) zoning district, which is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Retail and Business Services. The South Park Policy Statement, which governs allowable uses in this area, limits commercial uses and allows industrial uses that are not consistent with the General Plan. Because similar conditions apply to several contiguous properties south of 900 Santa Rosa Avenue, both the Planning Commission and staff are recommending that the rezone boundary be expanded to include 33 additional properties for General Plan consistency. All of these parcels are within the South Park Planned Development area and are within an area designated as Retail and Business Services on the General Plan land use diagram. As shown on the Boundary Map exhibit, the properties are along the east side of Petaluma Hill Road and Santa Rosa Avenue, south of Bennett Valley Road and north of Colgan Avenue. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning Commission and the Planning and Economic Development Department that the Council introduce an ordinance to rezone the properties located along the east side of Petaluma Hill Road and Santa Rosa Avenue, south of Bennett Valley Road and north of Colgan Avenue, into the CG (General Commercial) zoning district for General Plan consistency.

A Santa Rosa Railroad Square Community Benefit District Management District Plan, certified by a qualified District Assessment Engineer, was prepared and submitted to the Santa Rosa City Clerk. This Plan was made available on the City’s website and in hard copy at the City Clerk’s Office. On the same date, Council adopted a Resolution of Intention (Council Resolution RES-2019-141) to establish the District. The Resolution of City of Santa Rosa Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report Page 8 of 12 City Council NOVEMBER 5, 2019 Intention states that the assessment proposed to be levied and collected for Fiscal Year 2019-2020 is $231,826.09. The amount to be levied and collected for the subsequent years may be increased by a vote of the property owner Board of Directors by an amount not to exceed five percent (5%) per year. Due to the special benefit nature of assessments levied within a CBD, program costs are distributed amongst all identified specially benefited properties based on the proportional amount of special program benefits each property is expected to derive from the assessments collected. The purpose of the assessments is to fund physical improvements, attract new customers, and increase business sales through maintenance, special events, marketing and other such activities. The methodology used for the assessment is calculated based on a given property’s linear frontage, lot size square footage, and building square footage. Future residential condominiums constructed within the District will have a separate calculation as identified in the management district plan included in this packet, in that linear frontage and lot size are not relevant to residential condominiums. A more detailed breakdown of the assessment methodology can be found in Section 4 of the Management District Plan. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and Economic Development Department that the Council hold a public hearing to consider oral and written testimony regarding the formation of a community benefit improvement district, and tabulate all assessment ballots returned to the City pursuant to procedures set forth in the Resolution of Intention; and, if the assessment balloting does not result in a majority protest, then waive first reading and approve the resolution forming the Santa Rosa Railroad Square Community Benefit District and levying and collecting the Assessment in connection therewith.

Because the property is located within the South Park Planned Development Community, and the South Park Policy Statement does not permit the use, the approval is contingent upon the property being rezoned into the CG (General Commercial) zoning district, which is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Retail and Business Services. The South Park Policy Statement, which governs allowable uses in this area, limits commercial uses and allows industrial uses that are not consistent with the General Plan. Because similar conditions apply to several contiguous properties south of 900 Santa Rosa Avenue, both the Planning Commission and staff are recommending that the rezone boundary be expanded to include 33 additional properties for General Plan consistency. All of these parcels are within the South Park Planned Development area and are within an area designated as Retail and Business Services on the General Plan land use diagram. As shown on the Boundary Map exhibit, the properties are along the east side of Petaluma Hill Road and Santa Rosa Avenue, south of Bennett Valley Road and north of Colgan Avenue. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning Commission and the Planning and Economic Development Department that the Council introduce an ordinance to rezone the properties located along the east side of Petaluma Hill Road and Santa Rosa Avenue, south of Bennett Valley Road and north of Colgan Avenue, into the CG (General Commercial) zoning district for General Plan consistency.
