NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
HOUSING LEGISLATION ZONING CODE TEXT AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 20 OF THE SANTA ROSA CITY CODE, NECESSARY FOR CONSISTENCY WITH STATE LAW Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be conducted by the City Council on Tuesday, May 23, 2023, at or after 5:00 p.m. The purpose of the public hearing will be to receive public comment and recommendations prior to the City Council acting on the Housing Legislation Zoning Code Text Amendments.
The housing legislation zoning code text amendments ensure the City remains in compliance with any State laws which preempt local regulations. In 2022, the Governor signed a series of bills related to housing that affect local regulations. These govern parking mandates (AB 2097), parking at religious institutions (AB 2244), the Density Bonus Ordinance (AB 682 and AB 2334), development of housing on commercial parcels (AB 2011 and SB 6), and on land owned by local educational agencies (AB 2295). These State bills make changes to State law to remove barriers and create greater opportunity for building housing and require revisions to the City of Santa Rosa Zoning Code for consistency with State law. Staff has combined these revisions into a single Zoning Code text amendment for review and recommendation.
