REPORT - ADOPTION OF 2024 SANTA ROSA TOURISM BUSINESS

IMPROVEMENT AREA ANNUAL REPORT, BUDGET AND FUTURE

WORK PLAN, AND CONTINUATION OF THE ANNUAL ASSESSMENT

ON SANTA ROSA LODGING BUSINESSES

BACKGROUND: The Santa Rosa Tourism Business Improvement Area

(SRTBIA) was established by City Council in 2010 to fund programs

and activities that promote tourism and support local lodging

establishments. A 3% assessment is collected from overnight guests at

Santa Rosa hotels, with revenues dedicated to marketing and tourism

efforts that encourage overnight stays. After a 2% administrative fee,

30% of the remaining funds are managed by the City’s Economic

Development Division and 70% are directed to the Santa Rosa Metro

Chamber for tourism services and welcome center operations. The

SRTBIA Advisory Board, appointed by Council, provides

recommendations on fund expenditures and prepares an Annual Report

detailing activities, costs, and benefits to the Area, which the Council

adopts each year.

RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Economic Development

Department recommends that the Council, by resolution, approve the

2024 Santa Rosa Tourism Business Improvement Area (SRTBIA)

Annual Report, Budget and future Work Plan and the continuation of

the annual assessment on Santa Rosa lodging businesses as further

defined in § 6-56.300 et seq, in City of Santa Rosa code. This item has

no impact on current fiscal year budget.

16.1

PUBLIC HEARING - GENERAL PLAN 2050 MUNICIPAL CODE AND

ZONING MAP IMPLEMENTATION

BACKGROUND: In June 2025, the City Council adopted the General

Plan 2050, which establishes a long-term vision for Santa Rosa’s

physical development. Implementation of the General Plan occurs

through multiple avenues, including the review of new development

projects, guidance for City staff work plans, and direction for public

investments in infrastructure and facilities. In addition to these tools,

amendments to the Municipal Code, Zoning Code, and Zoning Map are

necessary to fully align the City’s regulatory framework with the General

Plan. The proposed Municipal and Zoning Code and Map amendments

serve to codify policies and land use changes already established in the

General Plan 2050. This package includes a Zoning Code text

amendment to create the Missing Middle Housing (MMH) Combining

District, along with a rezoning action to apply the MMH Combining

District to 1,991 parcels. In addition, as required by State law, 2,089

parcels citywide are proposed to be rezoned to ensure consistency

between zoning designations and the General Plan land use map.

Additional amendments include updates to Title 18 - Buildings and

Construction to streamline permitting for electric vehicle charging

infrastructure; revisions to Title 19 - Park and Recreation Land and

Fees to align park dedication and improvement requirements with

General Plan policies; and the elimination of the Growth Management

Ordinance in Title 21, which was removed from the General Plan 2050

to better support the City’s housing production goals.

RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission and the Planning and

Economic Development Department recommend that the Council

introduce three ordinances to 1) amend Municipal Code Titles 18, 19,

20 and 21 to implement the General Plan 2050; 2) rezone 2,089

properties to implement the existing General Plan land use designation;

and 3) rezone 1,991 properties to add the Missing Middle Housing

Combining District; and direct staff to bring forward a General Plan land

use amendment to resolve General Plan land use and zoning

inconsistencies for certain properties within the City. This item has no

impact on current fiscal year budget.

PUBLIC HEARING - DEVELOPMENT RELATED COST OF SERVICE

FEE UPDATE

BACKGROUND: In June of 2022, the Planning and Economic

Development Department contracted with MGT Consulting Group to

conduct a cost-of-service study evaluating the full labor and indirect

costs of providing development review services. On March 5, 2024, the

City Council adopted a comprehensive update to the Development

Services Fee Schedule based on MGT’s findings and approved several

fee subsidies and reductions to advance City development goals and

encourage participation in public health, safety, and appeal processes.

Over the past year, the Department has gathered community feedback

on the adopted fees and developed a series of minor amendments to

address this input and better align fees with current review times. Staff

recommends that all fees continue to adjust annually on July 1st in

accordance with changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Proposed

fee amendments will take effect 60 days from the date of resolution

adoption.

RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Economic Development

Department recommends that the Council, by resolution: 1) adopt the

proposed adjustments to certain development service fees; and 2)

authorize the Planning and Economic Development Director to adjust all

fee types identified within Exhibit A of the accompanying resolution on

July 1st of each year based on price changes as identified by the

Consumer Price Index.
