Project Summary
• On May 28, 2002, the Santa Rosa City Council adopted Resolution No. 25260, which granted a Utility Certificate (File No. UC02-004) to the existing uses operating on nine unincorporated properties with contaminated wells along Todd Road, including the subject property located at 369 Todd Road which was operating as an auto body shop at the time the certificate was granted. • On January 28, 2020, the Sonoma County Permit & Resource Management Department granted a limited five-year term Use Permit for an indoor cannabis manufacturing, distribution, and transportation operation located within three existing industrial buildings, located at 369 Todd Road. One of the conditions of the approval requires that the applicant/operator obtain a City of Santa Rosa Utility Certificate prior to building permit issuance. 2 Project Location

4 Analysis
Per Council Policy No. 300-02 – General Rule, City water and/or sewer service may be extended to an existing use which is situated outside the City limits but within the City’s Ultimate Urban Boundary if:
• the existing use is legal
• the existing use is consistent with the City’s General Plan
• a public health hazard exists with respect to the use’s existing water and/or sewage disposal system and the
requested connection to the City’s water and/or sewer
system would remove the health hazard.
