Development Department received an application seeking a Summary  
Vacation of the Public Service Easements for utility (PUE) and  
emergency vehicle access (EVA) for the commercial property located at  
4362 Highway 12. The EVA easement will be superseded by dedicating  
a new EVA easement from Highway 12 to serve the constructed  
self-storage facility. Since the development of the self-storage facility, a  
PUE along the entire lot frontage was dedicated in 2022 for public utility  
purposes including the future undergrounding of the overhead services  
along Highway 12. In addition, public water facilities have been  
relocated out of the existing PUE and fully encompassed within the  
dedicated PUE from 2022.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and  
Economic Development Department that the Council, by resolution,  
approve a Summary Vacation of two Public Service Easements for the  
commercial property located at 4362 Highway 12.

BACKGROUND: On April 22nd, 2025, the Planning and Economic  
Development Department received an application seeking a Summary  
Vacation of the Emergency Vehicle Access Easement for emergency  
vehicle access for the residential property 3901 Heathfield Place. The  
subject easements have never been used for emergency vehicle

Economic Development Department that the Council, by resolution,  
approve a Summary Vacation of an Emergency Vehicle Access  
Easement for the residential property located at 3901 Heathfield Place.  
16. 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.  
16.1**  
PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL  
OF THE ELM TREE STATION PROJECT  
BACKGROUND: On December 17, 2021, Conditional Use Permit and  
Design Review applications for the Elm Tree Station project (Project)  
were submitted. The Project includes the construction of a gas station  
with six gas pumps and four electric charging stations, and a  
3,448-square-foot general retail space with an 806-square-foot,  
one-bedroom apartment above located at 874 N Wright Road. The  
Project also includes the construction of an additional 432-square-foot  
general retail use and park-like amenities, including patio/trellis area,  
benches and picnic area, and a bike path that would traverse the  
eastern and southern boundaries of the project site from the Joe  
Rodota Trail to North Wright Road. On September 13, 2022, the City  
Council adopted Ordinance No. ORD-2022-10, which amended the  
Zoning Code to prohibit new gas station land uses. The ordinance  
included an exemption for any existing applications deemed complete  
for processing on or before the effective date of the ordinance. Because  
the Project was deemed complete on December 17, 2021 it is exempt  
from the ordinance prohibiting new gas stations. While City staff had  
recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit, on April 10,  
2025, the Planning Commission unanimously denied the application. On  
April 21, 2025, pursuant to City Code Chapter 15-24, the applicant  
appealed the decision of the Planning Commission. City staff’s position  
on the findings for granting approval have not changed; as such, the  
action before the Council includes two options: 1) accept the Appeal  
and approve the Conditional Use Permit, or 2) Deny the Appeal and  
uphold the Planning Commission’s denial.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and  
Economic Development Department that the Council consider the  
recommendations of the Planning Commission and City Staff and either  
1) by two resolutions, accept the Appeal and adopt an Addendum to the  
Elm Tree Station Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and  
approve the Conditional Use Permit for the Elm Tree Station Project; or  
2) by one resolution, deny the Appeal and uphold the Planning  
Commission’s denial of the Conditional Use Permit for the Elm Tree  
Station Project.  
16.2  
PUBLIC HEARING - PLACEMENT OF ANNUAL STORM WATER  
ENTERPRISE CHARGES ON THE SONOMA COUNTY PROPERTY  
TAX ROLL  
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. The amount of the  
annual charges of the Storm Water Enterprise for fiscal year 2025-26  
were adopted by the Santa Rosa City Council on June 17, 2025. This  
action only considers the manner in which the annual charges will be  
collected and not the amount of the fee.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Board of Public  
Utilities and Santa Rosa Water that the Council, by resolution, adopt by  
2/3 vote the Storm Water Enterprise Charge Report and approve  
placement of the Storm Water Enterprise charges on the Sonoma  
County Property Tax Roll, to be collected by the Sonoma County  
Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector at the same time and in the  
same manner as Sonoma County property taxes are collected, unless  
those charges do not meet the County minimum of $10 and/or parcel  
owner contact information is known to be incorrect.  
16.3  
PUBLIC HEARING - SUBMITTAL OF SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT  
TO THE HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS - AMERICAN  
RESCUE PLAN (HOME-ARP) ALLOCATION PLAN TO THE U.S.  
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT; AND  
APPROVAL OF SECOND AMENDMENT TO GRANT AGREEMENT  
WITH CATHOLIC CHARITIES HOME-ARP PROGRAM  
BACKGROUND: The proposed action will authorize the submittal of the  
Substantial Amendment to the City of Santa Rosa’s (City) HOME-ARP  
Allocation Plan to HUD. On April 30, 2025, HUD notified the City of an  
additional $4,095 in HOME-ARP funding, increasing the total allocation  
to $2,741,528. The Substantial Amendment also includes the  
reallocation of $100,000 from City Administration and Planning to  
subrecipient Supportive Services and Non-Profit Operating Costs,  
aligning with the City’s original intent to prioritize funds for programs  
that prevent and address homelessness. The proposed action will also  
approve a Second Amendment with Catholic Charities increasing the  
agreement by $104,095 for a revised total of $1,719,539 for the period  
January 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026. All funding changes are within  
the Federal HOME-ARP program allocation and have no impact on the  
General Fund.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and  
Community Services Department that the Council, by resolution: (1)  
authorize submittal of the Substantial Amendment to the HOME  
Investment Partnerships - American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP)  
Allocation Plan (Substantial Amendment) to the U.S. Department of  
Housing and Urban Development (HUD); (2) accept and appropriate  
additional HOME-ARP funds in the amount of $4,095 and reallocate  
$100,000 in HOME-ARP funds from City Administration and Planning to  
subrecipient Supportive Services and Non-Profit Operating Costs; (3)  
authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute, in a form  
approved by the City Attorney, any forms or documents required by  
HUD to implement the HOME-ARP funds; and (4) approve a Second  
Amendment to Grant Agreement with Catholic Charities of the Diocese  
of Santa Rosa DBA Catholic Charities of Northwest California  
HOME-ARP Program (Second Amendment) to increase the amount of  
the agreement by $104,095 for a total of $1,719,539 for the period  
January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026.
