The City of Santa Rosa is a Charter City formed pursuant to the provisions of the California Constitution.  The City’s Charter provides the fundamental framework for the City’s governance.  It is, in essence, the City’s “constitution.”  The City Charter is subject to periodic review for possible revision or refinement.  Any proposed amendments to the City Charter are subject to approval by the City’s voters.  

Section 12 of the City Charter requires review of the Charter not less than every 10 years, with the review to be conducted by a committee to be appointed by the City Council.  The last Charter review began in 2011 and resulted in proposed revisions placed on the November 2012 ballot.  In accordance with Section 12, the City Council has directed that a new Charter review begin this fall. That review may result in proposed revisions, additions or deletions to the existing Charter.  Any proposed changes to the Charter will be placed on the November 2022 ballot for voter consideration.

APPEAL OF ZONING ADMINISTRATOR ACTION ON THE DESIGN REVIEW FOR THE CASA ROSELAND PROJECT LOCATED AT 665 &amp; 883 SEBASTOPOL ROAD, SANTA ROSA, CA (FILE NO. DR21-001).

BACKGROUND: On June 1, 2021, the Zoning Administrator approved the Casa Roseland project, a project that includes the demolition of existing structures and the construction of a 4-story, 75-unit multi-family, affordable housing project in the Roseland Priority Development Area, located at 665 &amp; 883 Sebastopol Road.

BACKGROUND: The City of Santa Rosa is required under the federal Clean Water Act to obtain and comply with a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharges from the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (Storm Water Permit).  To comply with permit requirements and to control and reduce flooding, property damage, erosion, and storm water quality degradation in the City, the Council, in 1996, added Title 16 to the City Code, which created a Storm Water Enterprise and Utility (“Storm Water Enterprise”) as an agency of the City.  Under Title 16, the City Council is authorized to prescribe and collect charges (special assessments) for the services and facilities of the enterprise.  The Council’s intention to collect the Storm Water Enterprise charges on the Sonoma County Property Tax Roll was stated in Resolution 22880, adopted in 1996, which levied the annual charges.
