PUBLIC COMMENT

ratio of 3.0. Also the consideration of the Roberts Avenue

underpass for reconnection of Roberts Ave and Railroad Square

Districts.

that have chosen to not rebuild related to fire insurance concerns,

the possibility of consolidating some of those single family lots,

rezoning the Chanate property, stated that the County has made

their housing goals and that the City should not take on their

numbers as it is not a well-developed plan to take over those 1800

units, and recommended tracking inclusionary housing fees.

Eric Fraser spoke on the outreach related to the Housing Element

and the public participation in the process, expressed appreciation

for the access to paper copies of the Housing Element.

Richard Lane spoke and expressed appreciation related to all the

work on the Housing Element, that new construction and rezoning is

adding new cars and residences on a rural road, and safety ingress

infill housing, asked regarding the City's current policy on parking

requirements and possibility of reducing those requirements for

Santa Rosa has taken a better look at vacation rentals issue than

other agencies within County of Sonoma and that the City's overall is

lower than those countywide.

Dylan Prindle spoke on "NIMBY-ISM" and it being a problem in

future developments, on the need for more density housing to be

built for increased housing opportunities, density along transit

corridors, and make single family zone areas more bicycle and

pedestrian friendly.

Evan Wiig spoke on the need for the Housing Element to include

more infrastructure focused on bicycle safety and connectivity of

future developments.

Calum Weeks, Generation Housing, spoke on the importance of this

process, proposed reduction of minimum number of parking

14.1

REPORT - PARKING FEE SCHEDULE REVISIONS

BACKGROUND: The Parking District currently offers free first hour

parking in Garage 1 (7th St.) and Garage 12 (1st St.) and has done so

since 2017 to encourage more vehicles to use our underutilized

garages. In conversations with the Executive Director of the Downtown

Action Organization (DAO), it was suggested that the District consider

establishing a more consistent parking fee schedule to make it easier

for businesses and the DAO to promote parking in the downtown

garages. This includes offering the first hour free in all five parking

garages.

The Parking District has offered free weekend parking in the garages

during the holidays beginning in 2017. This program has been

successful in providing support to downtown merchants during the

holiday season by offering ample free parking in the downtown and

allowing for continuous of street parking.

Staff plans to work with the DAO on marketing materials to promote

these new garage fees and encourage the convenience of garage

parking.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Finance Department

that the Council, by resolution, approve changes to the Parking fee

Schedule to provide in the five public parking garages effective July 1,

2022: 1) first hour free parking ; and 2) free weekend parking Saturdays

and Sundays from the first Saturday after Thanksgiving through New

Year’s Day annually.

REPORT - PROPOSED CITY CHARTER AMENDMENTS

BACKGROUND: Section 12 of the City Charter requires a review of the

Charter not less than every ten 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. Ten years have now passed and, last August,

2021, the Council directed the establishment of a new Charter Review

Committee and the initiation of a new review.

The Charter Review Committee met every other week for more than six

months (with adjustments for holidays) and issued its final report on

May 24, 2022. The Committee recommended that three ballot

measures be placed on the ballot for the voters’ consideration in

November 2022: (1) a ballot measure to amend Charter Section 4 to

increase Council compensation; (2) a ballot measure to amend Charter

Section 4 to reflect the City’s district-based election of Council

members; and (3) a ballot measure to update and modernize the

language of the Charter.

The Committee also recommended that at least one additional measure,

to expand voting rights in local elections to noncitizens, be further

evaluated and researched for possible action in the future. Proposals

for action on that recommendation will be brought to the Council at a

later date.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Charter Review

Committee that the Council, by motion, introduce three measures to be

placed on the November 2022 ballot for the voter’s consideration: (1) a

ballot measure to amend Charter Section 4 to increase Council

compensation, by tying Mayor and Council compensation to a

percentage of the City’s Area Median Income; (2) a ballot measure to

amend Charter Section 4 to align with the City’s district-based election

of Council members; and (3) a ballot measure to update and modernize

the language of the Charter, including provisions to remove ambiguities,

to provide additional flexibility in City operations, and to ensure gender

and citizenship neutrality.
