18-0193 115.2Resilient City Development MeasuresCC- Public HearingPUBLIC HEARING - RESILIENT CITY DEVELOPMENT MEASURES 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.

The proposed Resilient City Development Measures were prepared to facilitate these priorities. The draft ordinance was unanimously recommended for approval, with minor changes, by the Planning C to waive reading of the text and introduce as amendedPass Action details Video Video
