Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared for the proposed Santa Rosa General Plan 2050 (also known as Santa Rosa Forward), along with the associated Specific Plan and Santa Rosa City Code (SRCC) amendments, and Community-wide Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy (GHG Reduction Strategy), herein referred to as the “proposed project.” The purpose of the MMRP is to ensure the implementation of mitigation measures identified as part of the environmental review for the proposed project. The MMRP includes the following information:
The full text of the mitigation measures;
The party responsible for implementing the mitigation measures; The timing for implementation of the mitigation measure; The agency responsible for monitoring the implementation; and The monitoring action and frequency.
The mitigation measures in this MMRP shown in Table 6-1, Santa Rosa General Plan 2050 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, shall be applied to all future development anywhere in the EIR Study Area. The City of Santa Rosa must adopt this MMRP , or an equally effective program, if it approves the proposed project with the mitigation measures that were adopted or made conditions of project approval.

Action 6-1.5: As recommended by the
California Air Resources Board, the City shall
require projects that would result in
construction activities within 1,000 feet of
residential and other land uses that are
sensitive to toxic air contaminants (e.g.,
hospitals, nursing homes, day care centers), as
measured from the property line of the
project, to prepare a construction health risk
assessment in accordance with policies and
procedures of the Office of Environmental
Health Hazard Assessment and the Bay Area Air
District (Air District) California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines that identifies
mitigation measures and appropriate
enforcement mechanisms capable of reducing
potential cancer and non-cancer risks below
the Air District threshold.

Action 6-1.6: The City shall require an
operational health risk assessment for new
industrial or warehousing development
projects that 1) have the potential to generate
100 or more diesel truck trips per day or have
40 or more trucks with operating diesel-
powered transport refrigeration units, and 2)
are within 1,000 feet of a sensitive land use or
Overburdened Community, as defined by the
Air District. The operational HRA shall be
prepared in accordance with policies and
procedures of the State Office of
Environmental Health Hazard Assessment and
the Air District. If the operational HRA shows
that the incremental cancer risk exceeds 10 in
a million, the noncancer hazard index of 1.0, or
the thresholds as determined by the Air
District, require the project applicant to
identify and demonstrate measures that can
reduce potential cancer and noncancer risks to
acceptable levels.
