Public Hearing
11.1Public HearingPUBLIC HEARING - SANTA ROSA GENERAL PLAN 2050 FINAL EIR, GENERAL PLAN 2050 AND SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENTS BACKGROUND: The Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) evaluates the potential impacts of the General Plan 2050, including the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy, the General Plan Errata, and associated Specific Plan Amendments, together referred to as the “Project”. An EIR is intended to inform decision-makers and the general public of the potential significant environmental impacts of a proposed Project. The EIR also considers the availability of mitigation measures to minimize significant impacts and evaluates reasonable alternatives to the proposed Project. Santa Rosa’s General Plan plays the foundational role in regulating land use in the city; it is the top-level planning document, providing direction for all zoning regulations, ordinances, guidelines, and area or specific plans. The General Plan 2050 Final EIR has been available for a 10-day review period prior to the Planning Commission making a recommendation regarding certification. The proposed General Plan 2050, including the Communitywide Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy, the General Plan 2050 Errata, and the associated Specific Plan Amendments, have also been available for a 10-day period prior to the Planning Commission making a recommendation regarding adoption of the Project. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and Economic Development Department that the Planning Commission, by two resolutions, recommend to the City Council 1) certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) and approval of the Statement of Overriding Considerations, Findings of Fact, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; and 2) adoption of General Plan 2050 and associated Specific Plan amendments.
