16. PUBLIC HEARINGS  
16.1  
PUBLIC HEARING - PETITION TO EXPAND THE  
TALBOT/MEMORIAL RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING ZONE TO  
INCLUDE THE 100 BLOCK OF SOTOYOME STREET  
BACKGROUND: Santa Rosa City Code 11-44.050 establishes that  
neighborhoods impacted by non-resident parking may submit a petition  
to the City Council to have their area added to the Residential Permit  
Parking Program (“Program”). Current restrictions on Sotoyome Street  
limit on street parking to two (2) hours, Monday through Saturday,  
between the hours of 9:00 and 6:00pm. The residents of the 100 block  
of Sotoyome Street have submitted a petition to be included in the  
Program. The Program was established to provide on-street parking  
relief in the form of time limited parking in neighborhoods being  
impacted by a high volume of non-resident parkers who are attracted to  
that area, such as Santa Rosa Junior College, the Fairgrounds,  
Memorial Hospital, and the periphery of downtown Santa Rosa.  
Residential units within the designated permit area are eligible for  
permits which exempt them from the posted on-street time limits.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Finance Department  
that the Council, by resolution, approve the petition to expand the  
Talbot/Memorial Residential Permit Parking Zone to include the 100  
block of Sotoyome Street.  
Attachments:  
Chad Hedge, Parking Manager- Finance Department, and Tania

16.2  
PUBLIC HEARING - FIRST 2025 GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT  
PACKAGE: 1) ADDENDUM TO THE PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED  
DUTTON AVENUE RESIDENCES MITIGATED NEGATIVE  
DECLARATION, GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT TO GENERAL  
INDUSTRY, AND REZONING TO IG (GENERAL INDUSTRIAL) FOR  
3150 DUTTON AVENUE; AND 2) HOUSING ELEMENT AMENDMENT  
(THIS ITEM IS CONTINUED TO THE JUNE 3, 2025, REGULAR  
MEETING)  
BACKGROUND: General Plan Amendments are considered three times  
per year in accordance with General Plan policy. This General Plan  
Amendment package includes two projects described below. On March  
13, 2025, the Planning Commission held public hearings for these same  
items during a regularly scheduled public meeting. During public  
hearings, the Planning Commission passed resolutions recommending  
approval to City Council.  
1. Dutton Avenue. The Dutton Avenue Development Project is a  
proposal to amend the General Plan land use designation for the  
property at 3150 Dutton Avenue from Medium Density Residential  
(8-18 units per acre) to General Industry and rezone the property  
from the R-3-18 (Multifamily Residential) to IG (General Industrial)  
to align with surrounding land use patterns, supporting future  
industrial development. The project includes an Addendum to the  
Dutton Avenue Residences Mitigated Negative Declaration,  
adopted in 2018, in accordance with the California Environmental  
Quality Act (CEQA).  
2. Housing Element Amendment. On August 7, 2024, the Local  
Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) approved the annexation  
of 34.93 acres, in northwest Santa Rosa, which was recorded by  
the Sonoma County Clerk’s Office on September 25, 2024.  
Following annexation, and pursuant to Government Code Section  
65584.07(d), the City received a request from the County of  
Sonoma to initiate a transfer of Regional Housing Needs  
Allocation (RHNA) units from the County to the City related to the  
annexation. On March 4, 2025, the City Council adopted a  
resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign a joint agreement letter  
with the County outlining the agreed upon RHNA transfer. On  
March 20, 2025, the Association of Bay Area Governments  
(ABAG) Executive Board approved the transfer agreement. As  
part of the transfer, the City is required to amend its 2023-2031  
Housing Element to reflect the new RHNA units. In reviewing the  
Housing Element, staff identified two minor clerical errors related  
to the title of Table 5-2 and a mathematical error in Table 5-11,  
which will also be addressed. On March 13, 2025, the Planning  
Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the Council  
adopt the proposed Housing Element Amendment. This  
proposed General Plan Housing Element amendment is part of  
the First 2025 General Plan Amendment Package.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning Commission  
and the Planning and Economic Development Department that the  
Council: (1) adopt, by resolution, an Addendum to the previously  
approved Dutton Avenue Residences Mitigated Negative Declaration;  
(2) adopt, by resolution, a General Plan Amendment to change the land  
use designation for 3150 Dutton Avenue from Medium Density  
Residential to General Industry; (3) introduce an ordinance rezoning  
3150 Dutton Avenue from R-3-18 (Multi-Family Residential) to General  
Industrial (IG), consistent with the General Plan land use designation;  
and (4) by resolution, amend the 2023-2031 Housing Element to reflect  
a transfer of Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) units related to  
the annexation of 34.93 acres, and two clerical edits to correct the title  
of Table 5-2 and correct a mathematical error in Table 5-11.  
This item was continued to the June 3, 2025, regular meeting.

REPORT - EXTENSION OF SANTA ROSA CITYBUS UNLIMITED  
RIDES FOR YOUTH PROGRAM  
BACKGROUND: In July 2021 the City initiated a pilot fare-free program  
for TK-12th grade youth riding Santa Rosa CityBus. This program was  
subsequently extended for an additional two years, through June 30,  
2025, using funding from the Sonoma County Climate Resilience Fund.  
The program has been successful in increasing youth transit ridership  
and has had numerous positive impacts on youth, families, and the  
community. The Transit Division seeks Council approval to extend the  
program through FY 2030 using state and local transit funds.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and  
Public Works Department that the Council, by resolution, extend the  
Santa Rosa CityBus Unlimited Rides for Youth (UR Free) program for  
TK-12th grade youth through June 30, 2030, subject to continued  
funding availability.
