15.3 PUBLIC HEARING - SECOND, 12-MONTH AUTOMATIC TENTATIVE
MAP EXTENSION
BACKGROUND: Beginning on the evening of October 8, 2017, and
continuing for days thereafter, a series of wildfire events damaged or
destroyed thousands of residential and commercial structures within the
City of Santa Rosa. On October 9, 2017, the City Manager, in his
capacity as Director of Emergency Services, proclaimed the existence
of local emergency in the City, which proclamation was ratified by the
City Council on October 13, 2017. Prior to the wildfires, the Council had
identified “housing for all” as a priority due to the City’s ongoing, unmet
housing needs. As a result of both the devastation of the wildfires and
the previously existing housing shortages, the Council has stated the
need for measures to address housing Citywide. The proposed
ordinance will add a second 12-month automatic extension to tentative
maps and associated entitlements valid on October 9, 2017 and subject
to a previous one-year extension by City Council Ordinance No.
ORD-2019-001.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning Commission
and the Planning and Economic Development Department that the City
Council introduce an ordinance amending City Code Chapter 20-16 -
Resilient City Development Measures to add a second 12-month
automatic extension for all tentative maps and associated entitlements
that were valid on October 9, 2017, and subject to a previous one year
extension by City Council Ordinance No. ORD-2019-001, to address
housing needs and economic development within the City following the
Tubbs and Nuns fires of October 2017.
