Dear members of the Santa Rosa City Council:

I am writing to express my personal concern for the potential re-permitting vote that would allow expansion of a detox facility in the residential/retail center at the corner of Hwy 12 and Mountain Hawk Dr. My perspective is that of a parent of ﬁve children, and I live on Mountain Hawk. As the President of the Rincon Valley Union School District, I also am mindful of all the children who attend the nearby elementary schools, Austin Creek and Sequoia; however, I do not speak on behalf of the board or the school district in this matter. That being said, in November 2022 the principal and staﬀ members of Austin Creek shared their concerns with the community about the proximity of the center to the school, particularly since the majority of students walk or ride bikes to school.

When you vote and hear public comment, please consider the youth of our community. I participated in the Nov 17, 2022 hearing and the community voice was clear and powerful. We respect the work of the facility, but remind you that zoning is intentional, especially near residential communities and schools in particular.

I urge you to stay the course, uphold standing zoning and previous board decisions, and compel the Pura Vida operators to ﬁnd an alternate location that can better serve its clients.

Thank you for your willingness to be on the council and make these diﬃcult decisions.

Dear Council Member Fleming,
As a resident of Santa Rosa and a supporter of the Skyhawk United coalition, I am writing to respectfully urge you to uphold the appeal of Planning Record PLN25-0136.

On November 13th, the Planning Commission was closely divided, approving this expansion by a narrow 4–2 vote. We appreciated the leadership of your appointee, Commissioner Charles Carter, who voted NO after recognizing that the project is fundamentally incompatible with our neighborhood.

Commissioner Carter correctly noted that the evidence presented did not support two critical legal findings:

Finding C (Compatibility):

The project proposes a 300% increase in intensity at 5761 Mountain Hawk Dr by consolidating operations from other locations. As Commissioner Carter observed, converting a Neighborhood Commercial (CN) plaza into a 24-bed regional institutional facility significantly alters the character of the site. It replaces a low-density setting with a high-intensity use that does not serve the day-to-day needs of District 4 or District 3 residents.

Finding D (Physical Suitability):

Placing 24 high-needs patients in a second-floor office suite (Suites 201–207) raises serious concerns about appropriate design. In a High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, the absence of a verified evacuation plan for 24 non-ambulatory patients from a second story—adjacent to a primary wildfire evacuation route for more than 400 homes—poses a public safety risk that cannot be overlooked.

In addition, this expansion would result in the permanent loss of 7 affordable housing units at 5671 Mountain Hawk Drive.

We cannot afford to reduce our mid-range housing supply to accommodate institutional consolidation.

We respectfully ask that you prioritize public safety, housing preservation, and zoning integrity by voting to uphold the appeal on March 24th.

Thank you for your time and consideration
Best,
Yue Yang

On November 13th, the Planning Commission was deeply divided, passing this expansion with a narrow 4-2 vote. We were heartened by the leadership of your appointee, Commissioner Charles Carter, who voted NO because he recognized that the project is fundamentally incompatible with our neighborhood.

Commissioner Carter correctly identified that the evidence provided did not support two critical legal findings:

Finding C (Compatibility): This project proposes a 300% increase in intensity at 5761 Mountain Hawk Dr by closing other locations. As Commissioner Carter noted, converting a Neighborhood Commercial (CN) plaza into a 24-bed regional institutional hub fundamentally changes the character of the site. It replaces a low density residential zone with a high- intensity facility that does not serve the day-to-day needs of District 4 or District 3 residents.

Finding D (Physical Suitability): Placing 24 high-needs patients in a second-floor office suite (Suites 201-207) is a failure of suitable design. In a High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, the lack of a verified evacuation plan for 24 non-ambulatory- status patients from a second story next to the major wildfire evacuation exit for 400+ homes is a public safety risk that cannot be ignored.

Furthermore, this expansion results in the permanent loss of 7 affordable housing units at 5671 Mountain Hawk Drive. We cannot afford to cannibalize our mid-range housing stock to accommodate institutional consolidation.

Please prioritize public safety, housing preservation, and zoning integrity by voting to uphold the appeal on March 24th.

Sincerely,

Dear Council Member Fleming,
I hope you are well. I’m a Santa Rosa resident and have been following the upcoming March 24 appeal regarding Planning Record PLN25-0136.

I appreciate the time and care the Council puts into reviewing these matters. I wanted to respectfully ask a few questions as you consider the appeal. Specifically, how is the proposed expansion being evaluated in terms of neighborhood compatibility and overall intensity at the Mountain Hawk Drive site? I’m also curious how the City is weighing public safety considerations, particularly evacuation planning in a high fire hazard area, as well as the loss of several nearby housing units.

I value thoughtful planning decisions that balance community needs, safety, and housing preservation, and I appreciate your attention to these concerns.

Thank you for your service to our community, and for considering resident input.

Sincerely,
Qunli Moldowan

Dear Council Member Alvarez,
As a resident of Santa Rosa, I am writing to urge you to uphold the appeal regarding the 24-bed expansion at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive (PLN25-0136).

While this project is located in District 3, the precedent it sets impacts every neighborhood in our city, including District 1. I am asking you to vote to uphold the appeal based on the following critical concerns:

Displacement of Residents: This expansion results in the permanent elimination of 7 affordable housing units at 5671 Mountain Hawk Drive. In the middle of a housing crisis, we should be protecting residential units, not allowing them to be cannibalized for regional institutional consolidation.

Equitable Zoning Protections: Every neighborhood—regardless of zip code—deserves the protection of our "Neighborhood Commercial" zoning laws. If we allow regional institutions to displace local services and retail in Skyhawk, it signals that neighborhood-serving spaces across the entire city are expendable.

Inadequate Patient Care: The plan to house 24 high-needs patients in a cramped upstairs retail suite (Suites 201-207) does not provide the dignity, space, or therapeutic environment required for successful recovery. We must demand higher standards of care for vulnerable individuals than a "warehouse" model above a shopping plaza.

Loss of Representation: Because our District 3 representative has been forced into a recusal that many legal experts believe is improper, we are relying on you to provide the oversight that our own representative cannot currently offer.

On November 13th, the Planning Commission was split 4-2, with the District 3 appointee (Terrence Sanders) and District 4 Appointee (Carled Carter) both voting NO. They recognized that this project is incompatible with a residential neighborhood.

Please stand for fair zoning and housing preservation by voting to uphold the appeal on March 24th.

Sincerely,
Hong Luo

Carter, who voted NO because he recognized that the project is fundamentally incompatible with our neighborhood.

Commissioner Carter correctly identified that the evidence provided did not support two critical legal findings:

1. Finding C (Compatibility):

This project proposes a 300% increase in intensity at 5761 Mountain Hawk Dr by closing other locations. As Commissioner Carter noted, converting a Neighborhood Commercial (CN) plaza into a 24-bed regional institutional hub fundamentally changes the character of the site. It replaces a low density residential zone with a high- intensity facility that does not serve the day-to-day needs of District 4 or District 3 residents.

2. Finding D (Physical Suitability): Placing 24 high-needs patients in a second-floor office suite (Suites 201-207) is a failure of suitable design. In a High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, the lack of a verified evacuation plan for 24 non-ambulatory-status patients from a second story next to the major wildfire evacuation exit for 400+ homes is a public safety risk that cannot be ignored.

Please prioritize public safety, housing preservation, and zoning integrity by voting to uphold the appeal on March 24th.

Dear Mayor Mark Stapp and 4th District City Council member Victoria Fleming I am Nancy Wang, a 49 year resident of Santa Rosa and past member of the Community Advisory Board for City of Santa Rosa for 12 years. I am concerned about the location of the proposed Rehab Center in a Santa Rosa neighborhood at the Skyhawk Shopping Center. In addition to losing seven affordable housing units, I am also concerned with the general safety of this residential neighborhood. Please consider the majority of voters in this vicinity and try to locate this needed facility in a more commercial area.

Thank you very much.

Dear Council Member Macdonald,
As your constituent in District 3 living in Skyhawk neighborhood, I am writing to urge you to UPHOLD the appeal and OVERTURN the Planning Commission’s approval of the Pura Vida expansion at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive.

While this project is located in the Skyhawk neighborhood, the decision you make on March 24th impacts the safety and stability of every Neighborhood Commercial (CN) zone in Santa Rosa, including those in our own district.

I am asking you to vote AGAINST this expansion for three critical reasons:

Zoning Integrity: Our General Plan defines "Neighborhood Commercial" as a space for daily local needs—groceries, coffee, and small-scale services. Converting a local shopping plaza into a 24-bed, high-intensity regional detox hub is a fundamental "Use Incompatibility." If this is allowed in Skyhawk, it sets a precedent that the local plazas in our district are also open to large-scale institutional conversions.

Biased Evidence: The Planning Commission was led to believe there was "neighboring business support." However, the applicant is the landlord for those businesses. The support of a tenant for their landlord is a financial necessity, not an objective community endorsement. Please prioritize the voices of hundreds of independent families over three dependent commercial tenants.

Regional vs. Local: This project is not a small "neighborhood home." It is a consolidation of multiple sites into one "Super-Center." This type of high-turnover medical institution belongs in a Medical or General Commercial district, not a quiet residential corridor adjacent to a creek and a high-fire-risk zone.

Please protect the "Complete Neighborhood" vision of Santa Rosa. Do not allow our neighborhood retail centers to be converted into regional institutional hubs against the overwhelming opposition of the residents who live there.

I look forward to your response and to seeing you at the hearing on March 24.

Sincerely,
Abhinav Koul

Dear Council Members,

My name is DJ Phimister. My wife and I live near the Skyhawk Village Shopping Center. I am a retired police officer. I have previously served as the supervisor for an investigations unit as well as for a narcotics unit. I am opposed to the application for a 24 bed Pura Vita Community Care Rehab Facility in the Skyhawk Village Center for a variety of reasons.

First, it is being proposed for a location for which it wasn’t designed. The shopping center is designed for the benefit of the local community. Emphasis on local. This is supposed to be a community center that focuses on the needs of the local community. The proposed rehab facility does not meet that criteria. They claim they have had clients from the immediate neighborhood in their current six-person facility. Medical confidentiality prevents there being any way to prove that, but if forced to quantify their claim I would bet that 90% or more of their clients come from somewhere else. Since they have stated the majority of their clients come from Kaiser referrals, there is a good probability that they not only don’t come from the neighborhood, they may not even come from Santa Rosa, or even Sonoma County. On it’s surface, my objection sounds like a typical case of NIMBY – Not in My Back Yard fears. It isn’t. I am solidly behind rehab facilities and what they strive to achieve, but in a location appropriate for their use. There are plenty of other locations within Santa Rosa that aren’t located in a neighborhood center. Choosing to ignore the purpose and rules established for this type of neighborhood community center changes the rules for every other existing neighborhood center. You will be establishing a precedent essentially removing the “serve the local neighborhood” provision from the criteria. Once done, anyone can put anything in the centers as the primary purpose will have been removed. Also, once approved for this center, what is there from stopping the owner from opening another 24 bed facility in any of the other small community shopping centers? Nothing, and he will have past precedence to point to supporting his application. I believe the Council has the authority, as well as the obligation, to say no to this proposal. It’s a bad idea and it doesn’t fit the intention of the Neighborhood Community Center.

Based on input from the Planning Commission meeting, I believe many people believe this facility will increase the number of beds available for rehab in Santa Rosa, something that is probably needed. But it won’t, as the owner has already said he intends to shutter his other facilities and incorporate them into this location. He has never run a facility with this many clients at one location before, so essentially it will be a business experiment which primarily benefits the owner financially. At the Planning Commission meeting I believe he stated the facility charges $24,000 per month per client. He will maintain the same income while removing the cost of maintaining at least two additional facilities, while simultaneously reducing staffing needs. Don’t be blind to the owner’s purpose. Allowing this will substantially increase his business’s bottom line. He may very well want to assist those with addiction. But he’s doing it for a profit and will be using the neighborhood as a business experiment, at the potential expense of the neighborhood. This is a rehab facility. 84 Drug and alcohol rehab have an expected number of failures. Without a doubt, people will fail in this program and will leave. It is upwards of 40% to 50%, depending on if you are talking about alcohol or drug dependency. The owner stated at the planning commission meeting that they can’t, and don’t, stop people from leaving. He said they will offer to call someone to pick them up or offer to call an Uber to take them where they need to go, but if they just want to walk out, they can do that. Which means we’ll have an addict, most likely in need of whatever their drug of choice is, wandering through the neighborhood. It can happen at any time of the day or night. To my knowledge there is no notification system for the neighborhood or contact with the police made. It is a recipe for disaster at almost four times the likelihood of occurring as the current facility. And statistically, it could occur up to 12 times a month.

The owner has stated he has the support of the local businesses. Understandable, since he owns the building, and their rent may very well depend on maintaining a good relationship with him. Him even asking them for their support creates a huge conflict of interest. It appears most everyone is willing to take the owner at his word as far as staffing, supervision, etc. are concerned. He has stated he doesn’t plan on adding an outpatient clinic (read that as a Methadone clinic) to the location but what is there to prevent it? It was in the original proposal and could be submitted for reconsideration the same way as the 24 bed facility is being considered.

I don’t believe the 24 bed facility should be allowed at this location, but if it is approved it needs to be done with enforceable conditions attached. As an example, he has given what will be the minimum number of staff on hand at any given time. Make that minimum a condition of the approval and determine who will enforce or check to see if they are abiding by that condition. If they violate it once, they receive a warning. A second time, they are fined a hefty sum. A third time and their CUP is pulled.

They have stated they will have trained staff on hand. What constitutes training? Based on the statement of a former employee at the Planning Meeting, it was one day on the job and the next night she was on her own with six clients. I received far more training when I worked at Taco Bell with a lot less at stake.

In their initial application there was a smoking area established for the clients who smoke.

That was later dropped because it was too close to the Scenic Highway. Their resolution was to not address it at all, to simply allow them to go wherever they can that will be within already established legal codes. Which would put them in the middle of the parking lot or on the trail behind the business. The trail is currently unlit at night and often the victim of graffiti, or used as a picnic area for others in the shopping center during the day. Without even addressing fire issues, it’s not hard to visualize conflicts which will occur with this practice. Is marijuana considered a drug and completely prohibited by anyone in this program? It seems logical that it would be prohibited, but it is legal in California so is it possible that what someone might be smoking by the creek could be marijuana? This 85 sounds outlandish and petty, but it’s been my experience that addicts tend to push the boundaries so it’s not outlandish that it might occur.

The areas in the hallway/walkways outside the facility should have security cameras installed with a 60-day requirement to maintain the recordings. This will aid law enforcement should any issues arise. I would also recommend the area/room where the medications are stored be covered with a security camera. The facility professes to be a non-medical facility but admits there is medication stored on site for the individual clients.

This is somehow administered to the clients without the staff being the ones who administer it. Covering this area with a camera and the same 60-day recording requirement will help prevent abuse/theft of the medications as well as make a police investigation easier should some abuse occur. All of the above requirements, and probably more, should be part of the conditions of the CUP .

As proposed, allowing this facility will violate two City codes. It is being allowed in a Community Shopping Center, which by definition, does not fit with what the facility will provide. It is also within 1000’ of another facility. Because the other facility is for physically handicapped individuals, not addicts, and the fact that it is across Hwy. 12, it was deemed not to apply. I saw nothing in the provision allowing for such an exception. In addition to overlooking these two issues, the City will be eliminating seven units of affordable housing, as it will now be one facility once the planned remodeling connecting the interior of the apartments is completed. I believe when the 24 bed facility was proposed three years ago that during the Planning meeting discussion it was stated that the apartments would “stay on the books” because they would remain individual apartments with just multiple beds within the bedrooms. I don’t believe this is possible with the proposed plan. It will now be one facility and should have one address. Additionally, should they not convert the individual apartments to one address, then, technically, there would be seven facilities next door to each other, as they are all currently individual residences. As an example, if there were seven houses on a street with a facility in one of them, they would not be able to expand into the other six houses just by building a hallway connecting each of the houses and calling it one residence. The same should apply to apartments. Is the City willing to overlook the established regulations, establish precedent for every other community center and eliminate affordability housing just so one business can increase it’s bottom line at the potential expense of local neighborhoods? The City shouldn’t be willing to make such an accommodation. It is a total rationalization to say the benefits to the community outweigh the risks in this proposal. Again, the City has the authority, and I believe the obligation, to deny this expansion.

Gordan Graham, a world-renowned instructor on risk management has a saying – “Predictable is Preventable.” I’m sure he has probably provided instruction for some of Santa Rosa’s Police and Fire supervisory staff. We should listen to him. We can predict many of the potential problems this facility will create in this location. Not only for the neighborhood, but for the City. This is not a NIMBY situation. The facility should not be allowed here; it establishes a City-wide precedent, doesn’t fit the guidelines of the 86 intended use of the shopping center, and eliminates needed affordable housing. It is not a Community Care Facility dealing with elderly or developmentally disabled clients. It is a drug and alcohol rehab clinic, with notoriously high failure rates and with four times the number of clients than the owner has ever delt with before. There will be problems. But if for some reason it is allowed, clear, enforceable conditions should be established for the protection of the clients in the facility as well as for the community and adjacent businesses. Failure to abide by the conditions should be grounds for revoking their permit.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,

DJ Phimister

Subject: Rehab in Sky Hawk - what about the patients needs? Mayor Stapp,
As a 25 year paramedic and former firefighter, I can personally attest that having a rehab/detox center at the Skyhawk Center is a very bad idea.

Speaking from having run lots of medical aides and psych calls at facilities in the greater Sonoma region, this location seems completely ill suited. People in rehab/detox need opportunity to reflect and find themselves. As a member of the Anytime Fitness in the center, I can assure you they will have no peace or space to do so. Furthermore, there is literally a BAR downstairs with a decent volume of traffic. This seems really unfair and a clearly ignored contradiction to what I believe successful treatment looks like.

Lastly, the medical calls…as mentioned above. I’ve had to treat people with psychosis, DT, suicidal ideations, relapse, etc. Does anyone really think the upstairs tiny space above a crowded highway and shopping center is truly a place for such consistent medical issues to be dealt with? Let me assure you…it’s not.

I’m all for detox and rehab, but isn’t there a place that actually gives these people the space and peace they deserve?
Another perspective to consider,

Dear Council Member MacDonald,

Thank you for your dedicated service to our district. I am writing as a concerned constituent to ask you to champion our neighborhood at the upcoming appeal hearing.

I ask you to lead the Council in protecting the integrity of our zoning laws and the 'Complete Neighborhood' promise for all Santa Rosa families.

Beyond the above issue is the “FACT” that this facility was already denied a permit – unanimously - by this council in 2022 to operate at a smaller level at that same location in the first place. They then apparently chose to ignore that decision and open a 6 bed facility anyway. This is a fact that came to light in the last meeting where they were asking for the larger facility permit. It was shocking to almost everyone in the room, that these people were even still located there and doing business since, again, they had already been officially denied their permit. Most of the people could not believe that they were then granted a permit on this second round in spite of having COMPLETELY IGNORED the previous denial for a permit from the council.

My point is: If they are already not willing to adhere to requirements/rulings of the council and the rule of law, what is going to suddenly compel them to operate within any parameters or rules that are put in place for them? They should be completely denied simply based on the history that they continued to operate a business for which they were denied a permit already. Even IF the issue of being near a school, in a close-nit community, and the zoning law issues were somehow not worth consideration, this fact alone most certainly is. They have shown that they are not trustworthy and cannot be expected to adhere to ANY guidelines that are put in place for them.

Sincerely,

Shaun Moldowan

Dear Mayor Stapp,

I am writing to urge you to uphold the appeal regarding the expansion at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive. Our City’s General Plan was carefully crafted to ensure that Neighborhood Commercial (CN) zones serve the daily, essential needs of local residents.

Allowing a high-intensity, 24-bed regional institutional hub to displace the much needed affordable housing units is a direct violation of that vision. If we allow the conversion of neighborhood plazas in Skyhawk today, we are effectively signaling that the small shopping centers in our own district—which serve as the backbone of our central neighborhoods —are also open for institutional consolidation.

I ask you to lead the Council in protecting the integrity of our zoning laws and the 'Complete Neighborhood' promise for all Santa Rosa families.

Sincerely,

Shaun Moldowan

Dear Mayor Stap,
Thank you for your service and leadership in our city. I am writing as a resident of the Skyhawk community to respectfully urge you to uphold the appeal regarding the proposed expansion at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive.

Our City’s General Plan was carefully designed so that Neighborhood Commercial (CN) zones meet the daily needs of nearby residents and support the concept of complete neighborhoods. The small shopping center in Skyhawk was intended to serve local families with neighborhood-oriented services, not to become a high-intensity regional institutional facility.

This location is in the middle of a family neighborhood and along routes used daily by young people. Children walk through this area on their way to Austin Creek Elementary School, and there is also a gym in the same shopping center where many teenagers from Skyhawk walk to throughout the day to exercise and meet friends. For many families, this plaza is one of the few nearby places our kids can safely walk to on their own.

Allowing a 24-bed regional institutional hub in this location would significantly intensify activity in a center that was designed for neighborhood-scale services. It would also displace much-needed affordable housing units that residents have long hoped to see developed there.

If we allow the conversion of neighborhood plazas in Skyhawk today, it sends a signal that similar neighborhood shopping centers throughout Santa Rosa could also be converted away from serving the daily needs of local residents. 3/4/26, 1:31 PM Gmail - Uphold the Appeal for 5761 Mountain Hawk Dr https://mail.google.com/mail/u/2/?ik=c4a03c9f7b&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f:1858764843504356222&simpl=msg-f:1858764843504356222 1/2 93 As a parent and resident in this community, I care deeply about preserving the safety, character, and original vision of our neighborhood.

Dear Council member MacDonald,
I am a resident of Skyhawk and a parent of two kids who used to be at the nearby elementary school. I am writing to express concern about the proposed expansion of the Pura Vida detox center from 6 beds to 24 beds in our residential neighborhood.

While we respect the importance of recovery services, a facility of this size so close to an elementary school raises serious concerns regarding safety, supervision, traffic, and neighborhood compatibility. This expansion represents a significant change from the current operation and would have a disproportionate impact on families with young children.

I respectfully ask for your support in the March 24 City appeal and for your advocacy in ensuring that the safety and well- being of our community are prioritized.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dear Council Member Macdonald,
I am a resident of Skyhawk. I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the proposed expansion of the Pura Vida detox center from 6 beds to 24 beds in our residential neighborhood, and to respectfully ask for your support during the City appeal scheduled for March 24.

Our neighborhood is a quiet, family-oriented community, anchored by an elementary school and many young children.

While I recognize and respect the importance of providing treatment and recovery services, the scale and location of this proposed expansion raise significant concerns about safety, supervision, traffic, and the overall suitability of a large detox facility so close to a school and residential homes.

An expansion to 24 beds represents a substantial change in intensity and impact compared to the current operation.

Many residents were not aware of the full scope of this proposal until recently, and there is growing unease about whether appropriate safeguards, oversight, and community compatibility have been adequately considered. Parents are especially concerned about potential risks during school hours, drop-off and pick-up times, and after-school activities.

We believe there are more appropriate locations for a facility of this size that would not place such a burden on a neighborhood centered around young children. At a minimum, we are asking the City to carefully reconsider this expansion, ensure full transparency, and prioritize the safety and well-being of local families.

I respectfully ask for your support in the March 24 appeal and for your advocacy on behalf of our neighborhood. Your leadership and voice would mean a great deal to families who feel unheard and deeply concerned about the long-term impact of this decision.

Thank you for your time, your service to our community, and your consideration of our concerns. I would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss this further or provide any additional information if helpful.

Your Planning Commission appointee, Terrence Sanders, recognized that this project isn’t a good fit for our local shopping center and voted no. The site sits at a serious safety bottleneck in a high fire hazard area and along a main walking route for students at Austin Creek Elementary.

Dear Council Member MacDonald,
I'm an original homeowner in Skyhawk. I do like to share some facts about the disadvantage having a large 'service center' for a 24-bed detox.

As you can see, Mountain Hawk drive is winding. I found it it's quite challenging currently to access to Hwy 12 from Mt. Hawk Dr., for the fact that the traffic do come from Raters and Evening Way as well.

At numerous times, there are cars stop too far from parking lot into Mt.

Hawk await to getting out onto the road. I've seen cars including myself have to wheel back to the left hand side to avoid crashing into these cars.

This situation gets worse during school drop off and pick up time.

I wish there's direct access from the village parking lot into Hwy 12 to accommodate businesses in the village. Realistically, that's not the case and won't change this fact.

Long story short, it's a major safety concern. PLEASE DO NOT FINALIZE THIS 24 BED PROJECT!
On the other hand, I understand a business like Pura Vida wants to maximize their profit. But it's a wrong location to operate such facility, it shouldn't be in a simple yet prestige neighborhood like Skyhawk.

Once again, please help to preserve our special community! Sincerely,
Frances Ho

Thank you for your dedicated service to our district.

I am writing as a retired Law Enforcement Officer to ask you to vote against Pura Vida setting up a 24 bed detox facility in a neighborhood where so many young children are located along with an elementary school close by. Young children and a detox facility just don’t mix well together and should be kept far apart.

In my professional opinion, after 30 years of the law-enforcement, I will say we need to protect our children and their young minds against people and situations that they just are too young to understand. People with drug or alcohol abuse are not a good mix for young children. I feel it is our duty as adults to protect our children, therefore I am asking you to vote against Pura Vida detox facility.

Thank you,

Hi Dianna,
Thank you again for all the you do for our community.

I wanted to reach out regarding the upcoming appeal hearing to expand the Pura Vida addiction center in Skyhawk Village.

While I strongly support access to treatment for individuals struggling with addiction, I have serious concerns about the suitability of this particular location.

The site in Skyhawk Village is in close proximity to our school and residential homes. This raises significant concerns about neighborhood and student safety, daily activity impacts, and compatibility with the character of our area. This proposal does not align with the intent of the existing zoning standards and warrants a more cautious and protective approach.

I respectfully urge you to honor the recommendation of your appointed representative and uphold the appeal to ensure that District 3’s safety and zoning integrity are protected.

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration,

Dear Council Member MacDonald,
Thank you for your dedicated service to our district. I am writing as a concerned constituent to ask you to champion our neighborhood at the upcoming appeal hearing.

Your appointee to the Planning Commission, Terrence Sanders, correctly recognized that this project is fundamentally unsuitable for the Skyhawk Center and voted NO.

1. Zoning for 5761 Mountain Hawk is CN. Pura Vida clearly does not meet the needs of nearby residents even if it is for a large scale. The Conditional Use Permit Provision is supposed to meet the daily needs of the nearby resident which is for the safety and welfare of the residents, but PV does not even come close to be of major significance to our neighborhood.

2. This facility is located at a critical safety bottleneck in a high-fire-hazard zone. Placing recovering patients, near a high- risk wildfire location is considered risky due to the high vulnerability of the residents. The significant challenges in mobilizing them during emergency evacuations could negate their behavior caused by stress and anxiety during evacuations. There are also transfer issues to another suitable place when this happens. This was experienced by many facilities, i.e. Spring Lake Village residents during the 2017 Tubb fire.

3. It is directly on a primary walking route for students at Austin Creek Elementary.

Sincerely,
Noemi Issel

Dear Council Member MacDonald,
Thank you for your dedicated service to our district. I am writing as a concerned resident of the Skyhawk community to respectfully ask you to champion our neighborhood at the upcoming appeal hearing regarding the proposed Pura Veda expansion.

Our neighborhood is a family-centered community, and this facility sits directly along a primary walking route for children attending Austin Creek Elementary School, and a lot of our teens attending anytime fitness club. Many of our children walk or bike past this exact location every day. As a parent and neighbor, it is deeply concerning to consider quadrupling the occupancy of an institutional facility at what is already a traffic bottleneck in a designated high-fire-hazard zone.

In addition, this site is immediately adjacent to a bar and within a residential area where many families are actively working to support loved ones in recovery.

Expanding a cannabis-related business in such close proximity to both a school and an alcohol-serving establishment raises serious concerns about safety, neighborhood character, and the message we are sending to our children.

Your appointee to the Planning Commission, Terrence Sanders, carefully considered these factors and correctly recognized that this project is fundamentally unsuitable for this local shopping center. His vote to deny the expansion reflected the legitimate safety, zoning, and community concerns shared by many residents.

We are asking you to honor the recommendation of your appointee and protect the safety and integrity of District 3 by upholding the appeal. Our neighborhood should not be forced to take on additional risk in such a sensitive and already constrained location.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and continued commitment to serving our community.

Dear Council Member MacDonald,
Thank you for your dedicated service to our district. I am writing as a concerned constituent to ask you to champion our neighborhood at the upcoming appeal hearing.

To quadruple the occupancy of an institutional facility in such a sensitive location is a risk our district should not be forced to take. We are looking to you to honor the recommendation of your appointee and protect the safety and zoning of District 3 by upholding the appeal."
Sincerely,

Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Dear Council Member MacDonald,
Thank you for your continued service to our district. I am writing as a concerned constituent to respectfully ask for your support in championing our neighborhood at the upcoming appeal hearing.

Your appointee to the Planning Commission, Terrence Sanders, recognized that this project is fundamentally incompatible with our local shopping center and voted against it. The proposed facility sits at a significant safety bottleneck within a high fire hazard zone and along a primary walking route for students attending Austin Creek Elementary. These factors raise serious concerns about safety, traffic, and overall suitability.

Increasing the occupancy of an institutional facility in such a constrained and sensitive location would substantially intensify existing risks. Our community believes this is not an appropriate fit for the site, and we are asking for your leadership in upholding the appeal and preserving the safety, character, and zoning integrity of District 3.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Kevin Jiang

I am writing to urge you to uphold the appeal regarding the expansion at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive.

Our City’s General Plan was carefully crafted to ensure that Neighborhood Commercial (CN) zones serve the daily, essential needs of local residents. This would be the 2nd commercial care facility in our neighborhood, within 200 yards from our home, and it makes no sense and has no benefit to our residential community.

Young
children and a detox facility just don’t mix well together and should be kept far apart.

People with drug or alcohol abuse are not a good mix for young children. I feel it is our duty as adults to protect our children, therefore I am asking you to vote against Pura Vida detox facility.

Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Dear Mark Stapp,
I am writing to respectfully urge you to uphold the appeal regarding the proposed expansion at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive in Santa Rosa. Our City’s General Plan was carefully crafted to ensure that Neighborhood Commercial (CN) zones serve the daily, essential needs of local residents and preserve the “Complete Neighborhood” model that supports walkability, access to services, and community stability.

Allowing a high-intensity, 24-bed regional institutional hub to displace much-needed affordable housing units undermines that vision. The CN designation was not intended to accommodate large-scale institutional uses that draw from a regional population and fundamentally alter the character and purpose of neighborhood-serving centers.

If we permit the conversion of neighborhood plazas in Skyhawk today, we risk setting a precedent that signals small shopping centers throughout our city—many of which provide critical goods, services, and gathering spaces—are open for similar institutional consolidation. This would weaken long-standing planning principles and erode residents’ trust in the consistency of our zoning policies.

I respectfully ask you to lead the Council in protecting the integrity of our zoning framework and in honoring the commitments made in the General Plan. Preserving neighborhood-serving commercial spaces and ensuring appropriate placement of institutional facilities are essential to maintaining balanced growth and protecting the quality of life for Santa Rosa families.

Thank you for your leadership and careful consideration of this matter.

Sincerely,
Kevin Jiang

Dear Council Member MacDonald,
Thank you for your dedicated service to our district. I am writing as a concerned constituent to ask you to champion our neighborhood at the upcoming appeal hearing.

To quadruple the occupancy of an institutional facility in such a sensitive location is a risk our district should not be forced to take. We are looking to you to honor the recommendation of your appointee and protect the safety and zoning of District 3 by upholding the appeal."

Pura Vida Recovery Service / Drug Rehab Facility - Appeal March 24, 2026 1 message

Mayor Stapp, Vice Mayor Okrepkie, and Council Members,
I am writing to you as I am opposed to the request for an increase in client capacity, from 6 to 24, for the Pura Vida Drug Rehab facility located at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive. This location and “facility” is clearly not appropriate for a community shopping center primarily visited by local families and children, and friends.

Although rehab for any drug-induced addiction is a good thing to do, proper facilities to prevent additional problems are also a necessity. The proper location for any rehab facility should consider all parameters of their placement choice.

Here are my concerns as a resident of the Skyhawk community.

From what information I have learned, the Skyhawk Village Center was originally created and permitted with restrictions and purpose: to benefit the community of the newly built Skyhawk housing neighborhood. The retailers and business providers included in that site were to be specifically for the Skyhawk Community and its surrounding existing neighbors. That has continued with occasional businesses changing and have been restricted to follow the previous City designation within the Skyhawk Village Center. Therefore, there is a specific conflict with this expansion request and continual restrictions by now allowing a drug addiction rehab business via a for-profit organization that deals solely with drug addiction clients who are not part of the Skyhawk Community. The clients and staff will not be integrating with the residents surrounding this Skyhawk Village Center. This then does not fulfill any benefit for the local community as originally permitted and required. And, is a conflict of what each homeowner was promised by City ordinance when purchasing their home.

Also, with the City following CA State designations and financial compensation for maintaining and increasing
affordable apartment housing, this conversion of seven (7) affordable apartments will be removed, only to house 24 revolving clients. This then eliminates seven (7) affordable housing apartments in your total accounting. Is the City of Santa Rosa obligated to advise the State of California of the elimination of affordable housing, instead of retaining the building’s original purpose as apartments?
If a client fails protocol during the program’s allotted time frame (weeks to months), they can be terminated in the program immediately and asked to leave for the violation. Or, the client can abruptly leave, by choice, sober or under the influence. We were advised by the owner during the previous Planning Commission meeting, of Pura Vida’s three options for client to abruptly leave the program should this occur, as the clients are not allowed to have a vehicle onsite with them during treatment:
- call a friend or family member for transportation.
- Pura Vida would call a taxi type vehicle.

Should a client choose the taxi type option, there is no certainty that a client, possibly under the influence of an illegal drug, or possibly without available cash, would stay in the vehicle beyond the driveway or even just get out while being driven down Highway 12. It is not unheard of that someone under the influence of drugs will exit a moving vehicle.
- or, they can walk away on foot, no matter the time of day or night.

If the now former client is on foot, day or night time, it will then move into this third potential results of pedestrian travel:
*As the clients are mostly referrals from various medical facilities after qualifying for detox treatment assistance, they will probably be looking for “home territory”, as most likely they not local residents. So, how do they get back to their residence after an abrupt unplanned exit?
- They will need money for any overnight housing, or procure a vehicle 3/4/26, 6:17 PM Gmail - Pura Vida Recovery Service / Drug Rehab Facility - Appeal March 24, 2026 https://mail.google.com/mail/u/2/?ik=c4a03c9f7b&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f:1858783845214963854&simpl=msg-f:1858783845214963854 1/2 140
for travel .
- Sadly, people under the influence often resort to the easiest ways:
a) burglary to homes or vehicles for needed items,
b) theft of vehicles for transportation,
c) vandalism due to potential altered behaviors under the influence of a drug,
d) trespass on residential property for overnight stay - or - hiding from any follow up by Pura Vida employees or law enforcement if there is some sort of mental health risk.

Sanitation and hygiene may also be an issue if this is the course taken.
e) pedestrian travel if the wayward client has nowhere to go, and now wanders the local residential areas for options that may present to themselves (an unlocked vehicle for shelter is an example).
f) should the former client meet up with a resident at their home, conflict, verbal or physical, is a possibility.

Lastly, consideration should be two-fold. If the clients become a distraction or create a negative environment for the existing businesses and their customers in Skyhawk Village Center, the residents from all neighborhoods that now frequent the Village Center, will cease to frequent the existing businesses. This may then cause the businesses to close and/or move to a less complicated and threatening location. Or, the businesses may have their employees leaving due to any negative interactions with Pura Vida clients. We did not hear that there would be any restrictions on clients interacting with citizen customers, businesses, and employees of businesses, etc. Additionally, that loss of these businesses and community participation will certainly diminish all tax dollars previously received, and possibly limit the entire area’s resale of a strong and steady housing area. Few people WANT to live next door to those with drug addiction difficult issues…..would you? Sadly,
the recidivism rate is still so high...some agencies reporting 40-50% relapsing. And, some of the potential clients in this Pura Vida Recovery Service rehab organization may in fact be trying this path again.

I mention all these potential events with a community of those struggling with drug addiction not as a NIMBY, but as someone who has some limited exposure to that behavior’s impact on others. I had a cousin who struggled his entire early teens and into his adult life with addiction. The havoc he caused in his own neighborhood, and that of all others he wandered through was difficult. The neighbors were always calling his house for someone to come get him or “control him”. He was VERY difficult when he was “using”. After MANY MANY “rehab facilities”, and frequently removed from them, he was eventually deemed a Ward of the State and into a well-respected locked facility near the Mojave Desert, far from his home, transportation or residential neighbors. However, he was constantly having drugs taken away from him because of aberrant behavior, aka “high”. Those drugs were brought by friends there to visit, or were often passed to him through the locked fencing outside the SECURED FACILITY . Pura Vida's facility is in no way as secure as the one my cousin was in. Especially with the well concealed creek area, picnic table and lawns at the rear and side of the building. Additionally, I spent 25 years as a public safety communications employee, taking a plethora of calls involving drug abuse. Some were minor, and some were fatal, with emotional trauma at every level for all involved. We all read about these sad events
in the news every day. When these issues occur in a residential neighborhood, the entire neighborhood is impacted.

A rehab facility is usually a good thing if run properly and located in a safe environment - for the client, the staff, and the surrounding population. This company appears to be cutting overhead costs by selling its current several single family homes ("consolidating") and moving clients to this crowded and limited client facility. Pura Vida’s profit margin increase should not be at the detriment of residents in the Skyhawk area and its surrounding neighborhoods. Two Planning Commissioners had some very good reasons to vote no for the initial step to proceed. I would encourage you to discuss with them their positions. This decision is now up to you all to prevent an intentional negative impact on your constituents and community on a whole.

Thank you for your time and consideration of my concerns.

With regard,
Kathleen Ramazzotti

Dear Mayor Stapp,
I am writing to respectfully urge you to uphold the appeal regarding the proposed expansion at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive.

Santa Rosa’s General Plan was carefully designed so that Neighborhood Commercial (CN) zones serve the everyday needs of local residents. Converting this site into a high-intensity, 24-bed regional institutional facility would displace much-needed affordable housing and move away from that vision.

Allowing this change in Skyhawk could also set a precedent that neighborhood shopping centers across Santa Rosa may be repurposed for institutional uses rather than serving local communities.

How does the city plan to preserve the intent of Neighborhood Commercial zoning if conversions like this are allowed? And how will Santa Rosa ensure that neighborhood-serving spaces remain available for residents in the future?
I respectfully ask you to help protect the integrity of our zoning laws and the City’s commitment to “Complete Neighborhoods” for Santa Rosa families.

Thank you for your time and service to our community.

Dear Mayor Stapp,
I live in the Skyhawk neighborhood. One day, as I was turning right from our community onto Highway 12, I saw a man who appeared to be under the influence crossing the road toward Skyhawk Plaza. I had to brake suddenly to avoid hitting him—it was extremely dangerous. The man’s eyes looked unfocused, and he seemed unaware of his surroundings and unable to make safe judgments.

I would like to bring this to your attention in case additional safety measures or patrols can be considered for this area to help prevent accidents.

Thank you for your time and concern.

As a Santa Rosa resident, I am writing to urge you to uphold the appeal regarding the proposed expansion at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive. Our City’s General Plan was carefully crafted to ensure that Neighborhood Commercial (CN) zones serve the daily, essential needs of local residents.

Allowing a high-intensity, 24-bed regional institutional facility to displace much-needed affordable housing units directly undermines that vision.

Community Concern Regarding Proposed Expansion of Pura Vida Detox Center 1 message

Dear Mayor Stapp,
I am a resident of Skyhawk and the parent of a child who used to attend the nearby elementary school. I am writing to respectfully express my concern regarding the proposed expansion of the Pura Vida detox center from 6 beds to 24 beds within our residential neighborhood.

Our community is home to many families with young children, and the facility is located very close to an elementary school. While we understand and support the importance of treatment and recovery services, the proposed expansion represents a significant increase in scale and intensity that raises concerns about safety, supervision, traffic, and overall compatibility with a family-centered neighborhood.

Many residents only recently became aware of the full scope of this expansion, and there is growing concern among parents and neighbors about the long-term impact on the surrounding community. We respectfully ask the City to carefully review the proposal and consider whether a facility of this size is appropriate in such close proximity to a school and residential homes.

With the City appeal scheduled for March 24, I hope you will take into account the concerns of families in our neighborhood and support a thoughtful review of this expansion.

Thank you for your time and for your leadership in serving our community.

Sincerely,
Jinhui Yang

Dear Mayor Stapp,
I am a resident of Skyhawk and I am writing to express my concern regarding the proposed expansion of the Pura Vida detox center from 6 beds to 24 beds in our residential neighborhood.

I am particularly concerned about three issues:

1. Safety of the young kids. – Close proximity to our school is definitely a safety concern for the school and kids living in the community.

2. Zoning compliance – A facility of this size may not align with the residential zoning in our area.

3. Impact on property values – The presence of a large detox center so close to homes and the elementary school could negatively affect home values and the character of our neighborhood.

I respectfully ask that the City carefully review this proposal and consider the long-term effects on families, children, and the community. Your support during the March 24 City appeal would mean a great deal to local residents.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Dear Council Member MacDonald,
Thank you for your dedicated service to our district. I am writing as a concerned constituent to ask you to champion our neighborhood at the upcoming appeal hearing.

Your appointee to the Planning Commission, Terrence Sanders, correctly recognized that this project is fundamentally unsuitable for our local shopping center and voted NO. This facility is located at a critical safety bottleneck in a high-fire-hazard zone, directly on a primary walking route for students at Austin Creek Elementary.

To quadruple the occupancy of an institutional facility in such a sensitive location is a risk our district should not be forced to take. We are looking to you to honor the recommendation of your appointee and protect the safety and zoning of District 3 by upholding the appeal." Sincerely,
Cynthia DeMoore

Dear Council Member Bañuelos,
I am closely following the 5761 Mountain Hawk Dr appeal. I am shocked that this project involves the elimination of 7 affordable housing units much needed in Santa Rosa.

We as a family with 2 kids have stayed there in one of those units when we moved to this neighbourhood. When we moved out from there two couples working as chef in a restaurant moved in as an affordable living option.

I highly recommend that we do not allow regional institutional hubs to cannibalize our residential housing stock.

Furthermore, the 'upstairs' nature of this facility above a neighborhood plaza is a poor design for 24 rehab/detox patients, offering minimal space for the specialized care they require to reflect and find themselves.

This is a bad precedent for both housing and healthcare. Please join the over 500+ residents opposing this project and vote to uphold the appeal.

Dear Mayor Stapp,
I'm an original homeowner in Skyhawk. I do like to share some facts about the disadvantage having such a large 'service center' for a 24-bed institutional facility.

At numerous times, there are cars stop too far from parking lot into Mt.

Hawk await to getting out onto the road. I've seen cars including myself have to wheel back to the left hand side to avoid crashing into these cars.

This situation gets worse during school drop off and pick up time.

I wish there's direct access from the village parking lot into Hwy 12 to accommodate businesses in the village. Realistically, that's not the case and won't change this fact.

Once again, please help to preserve our special community! Sincerely,
Frances Ho

I am closely following the 5761 Mountain Hawk Dr appeal. I am shocked that this project involves the elimination of 7 affordable housing units much needed in Santa Rosa. We cannot allow regional institutional hubs to cannibalize our residential housing stock.

I personally am a victim of a meth addict breaking into my home in Skyhawk almost three years ago. The man that came into our home was high and carrying drugs on him at the time, besides scaring the world out of me he also stole. He has just, this month, been sentenced to prison after
walking out of a rehab facility last year.

When I think of all the small children in our neighborhood and especially with the elementary school nearby, I am shocked that you and the other Council Members would even consider this. With only very limited bus lines to Skyhawk, if someone were to walk out of the facility, they would be in this neighborhood of families and small children because there is not easy access to go elsewhere.

This is a bad precedent for both housing and healthcare. Please join the over 500+ residents opposing this project and vote to uphold the appeal.

Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>
Dear Natalie Rogers Bañuelos,
I am closely following the appeal regarding the project at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive in Santa Rosa. I was surprised to learn that this proposal involves eliminating seven affordable housing units that are badly needed in our community. At a time when housing availability remains a major concern, we should not allow regional institutional facilities to displace residential housing that local families depend on.

Furthermore, the “upstairs” configuration of this facility above a neighborhood plaza raises serious concerns about whether it is an appropriate setting for a 24-bed rehabilitation/detox program. Patients in recovery require thoughtful environments with adequate space and supportive design features that promote reflection, stability, and healing. Placing such a program above a commercial center does not appear to provide the kind of environment that best supports those goals.

Approving this project would set a troubling precedent—both for protecting scarce housing and for ensuring that healthcare facilities are thoughtfully located and designed for the populations they serve.

I respectfully ask you to listen to the more than 500 residents who have voiced concerns and vote to uphold the appeal.

Doing so would help preserve much-needed housing and maintain the integrity of our neighborhood planning.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Kevin Jiang

development is not the place. The purchase of this property seems very calculated and it is unfortunate that the purchaser does not even live in our area to see the effects of their proposal on our community.

This facility above a neighborhood plaza is a poor design for a 24- bed rehab/detox, offering minimal space for the specialized care they require, right next to a bar/restaurant.

This is a bad precedent for both housing and healthcare. Please join the residents opposing this project and vote to uphold the appeal.

Sincerely,
Rhonda and Rich Glenn

Dear Council Member Bañuelos,
I am closely following the 5761 Mountain Hawk Dr appeal as a resident of the Skyhawk community. I am shocked that this project involves the elimination of 7 affordable housing units that are so badly needed in Santa Rosa. We cannot allow regional institutional hubs to cannibalize our residential housing stock.

Furthermore, the “upstairs” nature of this facility above a neighborhood plaza is a poor design for 24 rehab/detox patients, offering minimal space for the specialized care they require to reflect and recover.

This location is also in the center of a very active family neighborhood. Children regularly pass through the plaza on their way to Austin Creek Elementary School, and there is a gym in the shopping center that many teenagers from Skyhawk walk to every day at different times. The plaza functions as one of the few walkable gathering places for our local youth.

This is a bad precedent for both housing and healthcare. Please join the over 500+ residents opposing this project and vote to uphold the appeal.

Sincerely,
Lara Atieh

Dear Council Member Bañuelos,
I’m following the 5761 Mountain Hawk Dr appeal and am very concerned. This project removes 7 affordable housing units that Santa Rosa badly needs. Why are we allowing housing to be eliminated for this use?
I’m also troubled by the plan to place 24 rehab/detox patients in an upstairs facility above a neighborhood plaza. Is that really an appropriate setting for people who need space, quiet, and specialized care?
This proposal seems like a bad precedent for both housing and healthcare in our city. I urge you to listen to the more than 500 residents who have expressed opposition and vote to uphold the appeal.

URGENT: The Disenfranchised Voice of District 3 – Appeal of 5761 Mountain Hawk Dr.

Dear Mayor Stapp and Members of the Santa Rosa City Council, We are writing to you today regarding the upcoming appeal for the Pura Vida expansion at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive. As you are aware, Council Member Dianna MacDonald has made the ethical decision to recuse herself from this matter due to her early and steadfast involvement in supporting our neighborhood’s safety.

While we respect the integrity of this decision, it leaves the hundreds of families in Skyhawk and the greater Rincon Valley area—the residents most directly impacted by this project—without a direct voting voice on the Council floor. Because District 3 is effectively disenfranchised on this issue, we are looking to the remaining six of you to provide the rigorous oversight and protection that our neighborhood requires.

In addition to our previously stated concerns regarding fire safety, school walking routes, and the violation of Neighborhood Commercial (CN) zoning, our coalition has identified two critical flaws in the Planning Commission’s approval that demand your intervention:

1. The Elimination of Affordable Housing Units

The proposed expansion at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive will result in the permanent loss of up to six affordable housing units at 5671 Mountain Hawk Drive. In a city facing a historic housing crisis, we cannot allow a regional institutional consolidation to cannibalize existing residential stock. This project moves Santa Rosa backward on our housing goals.

2. Physical Inadequacy of the "Upstairs" Facility
The applicant intends to house 24 high-needs detox and rehab patients in a cramped upstairs space above a neighborhood retail center. This physical layout is fundamentally unsuitable for the therapeutic needs of 24 individuals. It lacks the necessary outdoor space and clinical "milieu" required for successful recovery, creating a high-intensity environment that is entirely incompatible with the quiet, service-oriented nature of the shopping plaza below.

When the Planning Commission voted 4-2 to approve this project, the District 3 appointee (Terrence Sanders) voted NO. He recognized that this project fails the tests of compatibility and suitability.

Because we have no vote from our district representative on March 24, the burden of protecting our community falls to you. We ask you to look at the technical evidence, prioritize the preservation of our housing, and protect the integrity of our neighborhood zoning.

We respectfully ask you to uphold the appeal and deny the permit.

Sincerely,
David Chen

Dear Council Member Bañuelos,
I am closely following the 5761 Mountain Hawk Dr appeal. I am shocked that this project involves the elimination of 7 affordable housing units which is already badly needed in Santa Rosa.

YOU cannot allow regional institutional hubs to cannibalize our residential housing stock. Instead, YOU and I should be enabling and encouraging the Live/Work setup that this address currently offers. Why disable them when it will be a big plus to the daily needs of our community?
Furthermore, the 'upstairs' nature of this facility above a neighborhood plaza is a poor design for 24 rehab/detox patients, offering minimal space for the specialized care they require to reflect and find themselves.

This is a bad precedent for both housing and healthcare.

Please join the over 500+ residents opposing this project and vote to uphold the appeal.

Dear Mayor Stapp,
I’ve just come inside from photographing the cars parked next door in the Recovery Home at 5679 Queen Anne Dr. It’s a mess, and it looks like a used car lot, and it’s illegal because it’s not parked on the driveway. Point of it is there are between 7 and 13 cars parked there EVERYDAY for the 4 patients housed there. IMAGINE what a mess it will be for a 24 bed facility, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ME!! What are we trying to do with this part of Santa Rosa? What’s your vision for Santa Rosa and our peaceful middle class community?
In 2017 when I moved here, and the recovery home was forced down our throats, the operative psychology was that the patients from Sonoma Development Center will recover better if they are in residential homes, away from the dormitory like setting in SDC. AND NOW?
The operative psychology seems to be that that’s no longer true, that patients must be housed in a dormitory like setting, just like the SDC, so they can recover better.

Why the switch in operative theories?? This end run by the planning commission enables an already wealthy businessman to make more money—nothing to do with the recovery of addicts because the applicant has NEVER RUN a facility like this and can cite ZERO research to claim it’s better for patients.

I ask you to lead the Council in protecting the integrity of our zoning laws and the 'Complete Neighborhood' promise for all Santa Rosa families.

Regards,

Dave Paul

Furthermore, this plan eliminates 7 affordable housing units at 5671 Mountain Hawk Drive, displacing residents to consolidate a regional medical-model hub. We must ask: is it truly 'pro-recovery' to house vulnerable individuals in a cramped second-story commercial suite without adequate outdoor space or quiet for reflection?

Dear Council Member Rogers,
As a supporter of recovery services in Santa Rosa, I am writing to ask you to uphold the appeal for Planning Record PLN25-0136. While we all want to see individuals succeed in their journey to sobriety, the proposed 24-bed expansion in upstairs Suites 201-207 at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive fails the very people it intends to serve.

Please Uphold the Appeal for Planning Record PLN25-0136 – 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive

Dear Council Member Rogers,
As a supporter of recovery services in Santa Rosa, I am writing to respectfully ask you to uphold the appeal for Planning Record PLN25-0136. While we all want to see individuals succeed in their journey to sobriety, the proposed 24-bed expansion in upstairs Suites 201–207 at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive raises serious concerns about whether the environment is appropriate for those it intends to serve.

As an LMFT, you understand that recovery requires peace, reflection, stability, and adequate physical space for healing.

Cramming 24 high-needs clients into a limited upstairs retail space—situated directly above a neighborhood shopping center—risks creating a high-stress, institutional environment that is the opposite of a therapeutic milieu. Recovery programs are most effective when they provide calm, supportive surroundings that allow individuals the time and space to rebuild their lives.

In addition, this plan eliminates seven affordable housing units at 5671 Mountain Hawk Drive, displacing residents in order to consolidate a regional medical-model hub. At a time when Santa Rosa continues to face a housing shortage, removing existing affordable units is a troubling tradeoff.

We should absolutely support recovery services in our community—but we should also ensure they are located in settings that truly support healing and do not come at the expense of much-needed housing. A more appropriate facility, with adequate space and a supportive environment, would better serve both patients and the broader community.

Please vote to uphold the appeal and encourage the development of recovery services in locations that provide patients with the dignity, space, and supportive setting they deserve.

Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration.

Sincerely,
Kevin Jiang

Dear Council Member Bañuelos,
I am closely following the 5761 Mountain Hawk Dr appeal. I am shocked that this project involves the elimination of 7 affordable housing units much needed in Santa Rosa. We cannot allow regional institutional hubs to cannibalize our residential housing stock.

This is a bad precedent for both housing and healthcare. Please join the over 500+ residents opposing this project and vote to uphold the appeal.

Dear Vice Mayor Okrepkie,
I respectfully ask for your consideration regarding Planning Record PLN25-0136:

Given the site’s location in a High Fire Hazard Zone, is it safe to house 24 non-ambulatory patients on a second-story retail suite?
Does a 24-bed institutional facility truly serve the day-to-day needs intended for CN zoning? Should we allow the loss of seven affordable housing units at 5671 Mountain Hawk Drive? Can cramped upstairs suites provide the space and peace necessary for patient recovery? The Planning Commission split 4–2, with Commissioners Sanders and Carter voting NO. Could you help prioritize safety, housing, and neighborhood integrity by upholding the appeal on March 24th?

Dear Vice Mayor Okrepkie,
I am writing to urge you to uphold the appeal for Planning Record PLN25-0136. We recognize your unique perspective as a former Planning Commissioner and as a representative of a district that has intimately understood the devastating consequences of inadequate wildfire evacuation routes.

Our appeal is rooted in two critical planning failures that we believe require your oversight:

We cannot ignore the lessons of Coffee Park! Placing 24 non-ambulatory-status residents on a
second-story retail suite in a fire-prone corridor is a risk our city should not take.

Incompatibility with Neighborhood Commercial (CN) Zoning: The General Plan mandates that CN zones serve the "day-to-day" needs of local residents. Expanding to a 24-bed regional institutional hub provides no local service and displaces the very retail that supports our community’s "village" character.

Loss of Critical Housing Stock: This expansion results in the elimination of 7 affordable housing units at 5671 Mountain Hawk Drive . We should not be cannibalizing our residential housing to accommodate institutional consolidation.

The Planning Commission was split 4-2 on this decision, with Commissioners Sanders and Carter voting NO because they recognized these suitability flaws.

Please prioritize the safety of our residents and the integrity of our zoning by voting to uphold the appeal on March 24th.

Sincerely,
Richard Pollock

To quadruple the occupancy to 24 "under-care" patients—individuals who cannot independently drive or evacuate—creates a dangerous liability. We cannot ignore the lessons of Coffee Park! Placing 24 non- ambulatory-status residents on a
second-story retail suite in a fire-prone corridor is a risk our city should not take.

Loss of Critical Housing Stock: This expansion results in the elimination of 7 affordable housing units at 5671 Mountain Hawk Drive. We should not be cannibalizing our residential housing to accommodate institutional consolidation.

The Planning Commission was split 4-2 on this decision, with Commissioners Sanders and Carter voting NO because they recognized these suitability flaws.

Please prioritize the safety of our residents and the integrity of our zoning by voting to uphold the appeal on March 24th.

Sincerely,

Dear Vice Mayor Okrepkie,
Why create another huge problem when it can be avoided? I am writing to urge you to uphold the appeal for Planning Record PLN25-0136.

I am closely following the 5761 Mountain Hawk Dr appeal. I am shocked that this project involves the elimination of 7 affordable housing units much needed in Santa Rosa. We cannot allow regional institutional hubs to cannibalize our residential housing stock.

This is a bad precedent for both housing and healthcare. Please join the over 500+ residents opposing this project and vote to uphold the appeal.

URGENT: Restoring Representative Voice for District 3 – Legality of Recusal 1 message

I am writing on behalf of Skyhawk United regarding the legal status of Council Member Dianna MacDonald’s participation in the upcoming March 24th appeal hearing.

Based on legal counsel, we believe the instruction for Council Member MacDonald to recuse herself is a misapplication of the Political Reform Act and an unnecessary disenfranchisement of over 20,000 District 3 residents. Council Member MacDonald’s involvement with the founding of a community advocacy group does not constitute a "financial conflict of interest" under California law; rather, it is the highest form of constituent representation.

We respectfully request that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Request a Re-Evaluation: We ask the City Attorney’s Office to provide a public, written justification for the recusal that specifically identifies a "disqualifying financial interest."

2. Allow Participation: In the absence of a direct financial conflict, we ask that Council Member MacDonald be permitted to fulfill her constitutional duty to represent her constituents by participating in the deliberation and the final vote.

3. Preserve the Record: If the City continues to bar her participation, we will be forced to include this "Denial of Representation" as a primary point in any potential future litigation regarding the validity of the Council's decision.

The 600+ residents who signed our petition deserve a full Council . This number is growing every day. A significant
number of residents (about 20%) are from outside District 3. We have seen the mandate from every single council district.

We ask that you prioritize the democratic rights of District 3 and all other districts, and ensure a fair, complete hearing on March 24th.

Sincerely,
David Chen, Skyhawk United

Inadequate Patient Care: The plan to house 24 high-needs patients in a cramped upstairs retail suite (Suites 201- 207) does not provide the dignity, space, or therapeutic environment required for successful recovery. We must demand higher standards of care for vulnerable individuals than a "warehouse" model above a shopping plaza.

Please Uphold the Appeal for the 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive Expansion (PLN25- 0136)

Dear Council Member Alvarez,
As a resident of Santa Rosa, I am writing to urge you to uphold the appeal regarding the proposed 24-bed expansion at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive (PLN25-0136).

While this project is located in District 3, the precedent it sets impacts every neighborhood in our city, including District 1. I respectfully ask you to vote to uphold the appeal based on the following critical concerns:

Displacement of Residents: This expansion results in the permanent elimination of seven affordable housing units at 5671 Mountain Hawk Drive. In the midst of a housing crisis, we should be protecting residential units, not allowing them to be converted or displaced for regional institutional consolidation.

Equitable Zoning Protections: Every neighborhood—regardless of zip code—deserves the protection of our "Neighborhood Commercial" zoning laws. Allowing regional institutions to displace local services and retail in Skyhawk sends a signal that neighborhood-serving spaces across the entire city are expendable.

Concerns About Patient Care Environment: The proposal to house 24 high-needs patients in a limited upstairs retail suite (Suites 201–207) raises concerns about whether the facility would provide the space, dignity, and therapeutic environment necessary for effective recovery. Our community should support solutions that ensure the highest standards of care for vulnerable individuals.

Loss of Representation: Because the District 3 representative has recused themselves from this matter, the community must rely on the broader City Council to ensure careful oversight and a balanced decision.

On November 13, the Planning Commission vote was split 4–2, with the District 3 appointee (Terrence Sanders) and District 4 appointee (Carled Carter) voting no. Their votes reflected concerns that the project may not be compatible with a residential neighborhood.

I respectfully ask that you consider the broader impact of this decision and stand for fair zoning, housing preservation, and thoughtful planning by voting to uphold the appeal on March 24.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Kevin Jiang

Dear Council Member Alvarez,
I’m a Santa Rosa resident writing to ask that you consider upholding the appeal regarding the proposed 24-bed expansion at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive (PLN25-0136).

While the project is in District 3, the precedent affects neighborhoods across the entire city. The proposal would eliminate seven existing affordable housing units at 5671 Mountain Hawk Drive at a time when housing is already scarce.

I’m also concerned about converting “Neighborhood Commercial” space into a regional institutional use, which could weaken zoning protections intended to preserve services and businesses for local residents. In addition, housing 24 high-needs patients in an upstairs retail suite raises questions about whether the space can truly provide the environment needed for successful recovery.

With the District 3 representative recused, your thoughtful consideration is especially important for residents who want to ensure neighborhood concerns are represented.

Thank you for your time and for considering a vote to uphold the appeal on March 24th.

Sincerely,
Qunli Moldowan

Dear Vice Mayor Okrepkie, I am writing to urge you to uphold the appeal for Planning Record PLN25-0136. We recognize your unique perspective as a former Planning Commissioner and as a representative of a district that has intimately understood the devastating consequences of inadequate wildfire evacuation routes.

Our appeal is rooted in two critical planning failures that we believe require your oversight:

Incompatibility with Neighborhood Commercial (CN) Zoning: The General Plan mandates that CN zones serve the "day- to-day" needs of local residents. Expanding to a 24-bed regional institutional hub provides no local service and displaces the very retail that supports our community’s "village" character.

Loss of Critical Housing Stock: This expansion results in the elimination of 7 affordable housing units at 5671 Mountain Hawk Drive. We should not be cannibalizing our residential housing to accommodate institutional consolidation.

Therapeutic Failure for Patients: Housing 24 high-needs patients in a cramped upstairs commercial suite (Suites 201-207) does not provide the peace or space necessary for successful recovery. It is a "warehouse" model that fails both the patients and the neighborhood. The Planning Commission was split 4-2 on this decision, with Commissioners Sanders and Carter voting NO because they recognized these suitability flaws. Please prioritize the safety of our residents and the integrity of our zoning by voting to uphold the appeal on March 24th.

Sincerely,
Cherry Fang

Let’s use Common Sense and avoid creating another problem in our community.

As a resident of Santa Rosa, I am writing to urge you to uphold the appeal regarding the 24-bed expansion at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive(PLN25-0136).

We must demand higher standards of care for vulnerable individuals than a "warehouse" model above a shopping plaza.

Loss of Representation:Because our District 3 representative has been forced into a recusal that many legal experts believe is improper, we are relying on you to provide the oversight that our own representative cannot currently offer.

On November 13th
, the Planning Commission was split 4-2, with the District 3 appointee (Terrence Sanders) and District 4 Appointee (Carled Carter) both voting NO. They recognized that this project is incompatible with a residential neighborhood.

Dear Vice Mayor Okrepkie,
I am writing to urge you to uphold the appeal for Planning Record PLN25-0136. We recognize your unique perspective as a former Planning Commissioner and as a representative of a district that has intimately understood the devastating consequences of inadequate wildfire evacuation routes.

Our appeal is rooted in two critical planning failures that we believe require your oversight:

Fire Safety & Evacuation Bottlenecks: This facility is located in a High Fire Hazard Severity Zone with limited egress. To quadruple the occupancy to 24 "under-care" patients— individuals who cannot independently drive or evacuate—creates a dangerous liability. We cannot ignore the lessons of Coffee Park! Placing 24 non-ambulatory-status residents on a
second-story retail suite in a fire-prone corridor is a risk our city should not take.

Incompatibility with Neighborhood Commercial (CN) Zoning: The General Plan mandates that CN zones serve the "day-to-day" needs of local residents. Expanding to a 24- bed regional institutional hub provides no local service and displaces the very retail that supports our community’s "village" character.

Loss of Critical Housing Stock: This expansion results in the elimination of 7 affordable housing units at 5671 Mountain Hawk Drive. We should not be cannibalizing our residential housing to accommodate institutional consolidation.

Three years ago, over 400 people from the Skyhawk community signed a petition seeking to BLOCK the proposal to establish a permanent 24-bed Addiction Services center in Skyhawk Village under the guise of a community services center. The Planning Commission voted against the Minor Use Permit after a public hearing on 12/8/2022 where many residents spoke against it.

Now Pura Vida is re-submitting the application to try a second time to get a Minor User Permit to operate a 24-bed recovery center. Such a recovery center is too close to Austin Creek Elementary. It blocks traffic and takes customers away from other small businesses. Worst of all, it also violates the Santa Rosa city General Plan and creates a liability for the city should you continue to support this proposal.

Please take steps today to block this proposal.

Three years ago, over 400 people from the Skyhawk community signed a petition seeking to BLOCK the proposal to establish a permanent 24-bed Addiction Services center in Skyhawk Village under the guise of a community services center.

The Planning Commission voted against the Minor Use Permit after a public hearing on 12/8/2022 where many residents spoke against it.

Now Pura Vida is resubmitting the application to try a second time to get a Minor User Permit to operate a 24-bed recovery center. Such recovery center is too close to Austin Creek Elementary.

It blocks traffic and takes customers
away from other small businesses. Worst of all, it also violates the Santa Rosa city General Plan and creates a liability for the city should you continue to support this proposal.

Please take steps today to block this proposal.

Cc: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], "Madigan Daniel P." <[email protected]> Dear Planning Commission,
As a concerned resident of the Skyhawk community I would like to relay serious concerns I have about the proposed Pura Vida facility just minutes from my home.

I offer my concerns with the recognition of the need for facilities that offer help to those who suffer from addiction.

Having a family member who has suffered from this for years I am very much aware of the impact it has on families and those around them that have to deal with it. I am very sympathetic to the suffering involved.

But I am concerned about what consequences a facility like this would have on Skyhawk and whether it is a good fit for us.

In my view there are three substantial reasons why a 24 bed detox/recovery center may not be suitable for Skyhawk:

1. Austin School is a short walk from the proposed location (less than 90 seconds by car).

2. At 24 beds the scale of the operation is not a good fit for the surrounding neighborhood.

3. And, is a recovery facility for drugs and alcohol which would be basically situated above a tavern a good idea? Other concerns I have regarding the proposed facility:

Will this site be for detox and residential treatment?
Does Pura Vida plan to offer outpatient treatment?
Will patients with a history of violence be treated here? Will there be 24 hour onsite security personnel?
If residents are allowed to have visitors what assurances do we have that they will be clean and sober? How many times has police, fire, or other city services been called to any of the other Pura Vida sites in Santa Rosa? There are other concerns as well but those cited are what resonate with me the most.

With so many empty commercial/industrial sites in Santa Rosa is it not feasible for Pura Vida to consider one of them as a better option
than locating this facility in a family neighborhood?
Thanks in advance for reviewing my concerns.

Respectfully,
Daniel P. Madigan

Dear Planning Commission,
Its pretty disheartening to see that you have abandoned all pretense of following the science and the procedures of the State of California, State Senator Mike McGuire,North Bay Regional District director Nancy Bargman, Supervisor Susan Goins, and the 2016 Santa Rosa City Council. Together they have already determined that going from smaller to larger is against their science and against their policies.

I was one of the 400 people who worked to block the earlier application of Pura Vida and one of 100 to block the location of patients from the Sonoma Development Center to a residence right next door to me in Redtail Estates, next to Skyhawk.

The reasoning given was these agencies were following the dictates of the State of California Lanterman Act of 1967 which clearly concluded that patients recover better in smaller residential settings than in larger, dormitory-like conditions. No discussion—"we have funded this for years”, Mike McGuire explained to me, indicating that the science is sound.

What’s the matter with the science now? Changed your minds did you? All of a sudden it makes sense to go from a small setting of 6 to a large dormitory-like setting of 24? Where is the science on that? HUH? Got any proof? Got Data? The Second reason is that there is no ‘future plan” Exactly what are you trying to do with the city of Santa Rosa? Turn it into a massive drug rehab center at the head of the Sonoma Valley appellation district? That’s pretty good for tourism. “Come see our
rehab center”
Three years ago, over 400 people from the Skyhawk community signed a petition seeking to BLOCK the proposal to establish a permanent 24-bed Addiction Services center in Skyhawk Village under the guise of a community services center.

The Planning
Commission voted against the Minor Use Permit after a public hearing on 12/8/2022 where many residents spoke against it.

Now Pura Vida is re-submitting the application to try a second time to get a Minor User Permit to operate a 24-bed recovery center. Such a recovery center is too close to Austin Creek Elementary.

It blocks traffic and takes customers away from other
small businesses. Worst of all, it also violates the Santa Rosa city General Plan and creates a liability for the city should you continue to support this proposal.

Please take steps today to block this proposal. Follow the precedents of the previous City Council, the State of California, Sonoma County, and the North Bay Regional District.

Go from Large to Small, not Small to Large.

24 bed Detox facility - File No. PLN25-0136

DJ Phimister <[email protected]> Thu, Nov 6, 2025 at 10:54 AM To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], Skyhawk United <[email protected]>, DJ Phimister <[email protected]>
My name is DJ Phimister and I live near the proposed Detox facility at 5761 Mountain Hawk Dr. I recently saw the sign advising this facility will come before the Planning Commission next Thursday. I was one of the 40 people who spoke out against the facility about three years ago when it was first proposed and denied. I'm surprised it is being resubmitted, as I don't know of any major changes to their first proposal. I'm also somewhat surprised I didn't receive any written notification of the Planning meeting, especially since I spoke out against it three years ago. How long has the City known of the application, and is there some reason we have such short notice on the proposal? Although I believe the facility has admirable goals, it is in the wrong place with insufficient
guidelines to hold them accountable. Accountability is only one of many concerns I have about the facility. Their literature implies they are not a medical facility but it was determined three years ago that they do control all medications for their clients. They also say the clients will be mostly off-site during the day and confined to their room in the evening and overnight, however it was determined three years ago that this isn't a locked facility, so the clients can leave anytime they wish.

There will
be nothing to stop them from going out at 10:00 at night to smoke a cigarette or talk to a friend. Three years ago we were told that people who violate the rules would be terminated from the program, however recidivism is a common occurrence with substance rehab and second chances are standardly part of a program. Enforcement would be left up to the staff on hand and there is nothing to hold them to any kind of standard as to what would constitute a dismissable event or events. Staffing is also a concern. They have listed what their maximum staffing would be, but no indication of what their minimum staffing will be.

The
numbers for overnight staff were not listed in the paperwork I have seen, so it is plausible they would only have one staff member on site for 24 clients. Regardless, even if they say they are going to have two or more, there is currently nothing to hold them to any staffing requirements.

Should this facility be approved, this issue, along with many others should be addressed in a conditional use permit. All of these issues and more should be discussed with the owner and Planning representatives to make sure the Commissioners have a full view of the potential impacts of approving this facility and appropriate concerns are addressed in a conditional use permit. I offered three years ago to participate in such a meeting, but it never happened.

Ultimately, we
ended up with about 40 people speaking when it came up before the City. Our speaking time was extremely limited and it was not really the best way to address all of the concerns. I am again offering to participate in such a meeting if it can somehow be arranged prior to the meeting next Thursday.

Please let me know if you would like a full list of all of my concerns prior to next Thursday. I do have more, but with time so short, I wanted to get something in quickly to try and determine the best way to address my questions & input.

Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.

Best Regards,
DJ Phimister

first off, we never received a notice (attached) about this from SR city planning commission.

I live at 5460 Pine Hill Court less than .5 miles from this location via streets or on a straight line less than .4 miles. nor have any of our immediate neighbors heard about this until today via emails from others. secondly, this was attempted a few years ago and was rejected and it should be rejected again for all the same reasons. This is an area of a small cafe/market, a gym that operates 24 hours a day, financial offices etc. and a public transportation stop and a main throughfare for children, autos from Austin Creek school (how is this going to affect the lofty reputation of this school...so desirable at present it gets mentioned in every property listed for sale or rent in the area). all these schools, residents, patrons require a secure location with ample parking and less exposure to possible and probable detoxing patients that are unsteady mentally and physically. Do not allow this to proceed. eric anderson

I'm an original homeowner in Skyhawk. I do like to point out some facts about the disadvantage having a large 'service center' for a 24-bed detox.

At
numerous times, there are cars stop too far from parking lot into Mt. Hawk await to getting out onto the road. I've seen cars including myself have to drive back to the left hand side to avoid crashing into these cars.

Long story short, I wish there's direct access from the village parking lot into Hwy 12 to accommodate businesses in the village. Realistically, that's not the case and won't change this fact.

It's a major safety concern. PLEASE DO NOT APPROVE THIS 24 BED PROJECT! On the other hand, I understand a business like Pura Vida wants to maximize their profit. But it's a wrong location to operate such facility, it shouldn't be in a simple yet prestige neighborhood like Skyhawk.

Once again, please help to preserve our special community! Sincerely,
Frances Ho

Subject: Addition Services Center in Skyhawk Village
Dear Planning Commission,
I am writing to express my strong opposition against the application by Pura Vida to operate a 24-bed addiction recovery center in Skyhawk Village.

We have lived in Skyhawk community since 2005, and are both retired. On our morning walks, we pass the Austin Creek Elementary School every day, and see quite a few young kids walking to the school alone or in small groups of 2-3, without their parents accompanying them. The addiction recovery center in such close vicinity certainly raises serious safety concerns.

We have attended the the commission hearing several years ago for the same issue. We were very relieved that the Commission had rejected such proposal last time. As far as we can see, nothing has changed in the last three years with regard to this application. We do not see any reason for the Commission to make a different decision this time.

We strongly hope that the Commission will place the
safety of our children on top of any budget/financial considerations.

Since our retirement, we have considered (then rejected) the possibility of moving out of California and relocate to a place with lower costs of living. Skyhawk community and our neighbors are the reason we stayed. We hope that the Commission will help maintaining the safety of this community.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey Ye family

Three years ago, as a Skyhawk resident, I signed a petition seeking to oppose the proposal of establishing a permanent 24-bed Addiction Services center in Skyhawk Village under the guise of a community services center.

The Planning Commission voted against the Minor Use Permit after a public hearing on December 8th, 2022.

Now Pura Vida is re-submitting the application to try a second time to get a Minor User Permit to operate a 24-bed recovery center. Such a recovery center is too close to Austin Creek Elementary which raises a major safety concern for the children and their families. Additionally, it will worsen the existing traffic congestion. Furthermore, the recovery center will have negative impact to the businesses in the Skyhawk Village.

We respectfully urge you to reject this proposal.

Now Pura Vida Recovery Services is once again trying to persuade the City that this would be a good location for another one of its facilities.

It is our understanding that Pura Vida is an inpatient and outpatient facility that treats dual diagnosis disorders, which include substance abuse as well as mental health conditions. While we have no doubt the services provided by this privately-owned company are valuable, the placement of these facilities must be carefully considered by the City. Concentrating a population of recovering addicts and people with mental health concerns at the entrance of a neighborhood with an elementary school less than a mile from the intended location is not ideal. There have to be many other locations in Santa Rosa that are more suitable and would provide the same level of accessibility for the Pura Vida residents.

We are very proud to live in Santa Rosa, which is a model for the rest of the country with its inRESPONSE mental health crisis team. We hope that it will make thoughtful decisions that include all of its residents when being presented with these kinds of proposals.

Dear Planning Commission,
Three years ago, over 400 people from the Skyhawk community signed a petition seeking to BLOCK the proposal to establish a permanent 24-bed Addiction Services center in Skyhawk Village under the guise of a community services center.

The Planning Commission voted against the Minor Use Permit after a public hearing on 12/8/2022 where many residents spoke against it.

Now Pura Vida is re-submitting the application to try a second time to get a Minor User Permit to operate a 24-bed recovery center. Such a recovery center is too close to Austin Creek Elementary.

It blocks traﬃc and takes
customers away from other small businesses. Worst of all, it also violates the Santa Rosa city General Plan and creates a liability for the city should you continue to support this proposal.

Please take steps today to block this proposal. The community doesn't welcome the proposal.

Let alone, the small business in Skyhawk Village do not need a detox center as their neighboring partner. Homeslice is truly a slice of HOME - being a community restaurant and BAR which on any given night, you will see friends/families/children from the Rincon Valley community and beyond. This makes zero sense to put in a detox center where there is a bustling bar/dining venue downstairs.

We had the privilege of dining at Homeslice this past Saturday night when they hosted a Dine & Donate to celebrate their family business in Santa Rosa for over 25 years. This is a local family-owned restaurant and bar who kindly donated 25% of their profits on Saturday night to give back to 4 local little leagues. THESE ARE THE TENANTS AND NEIGHBORS in SKYHAWK VILLAGE that should be there and should be supported by YOU, THE CITY! NOT A DETOX FACILITY!!

Dear Planning Commission,
Three years ago, more than 400 residents of the Skyhawk community signed a petition opposing the proposal to establish a permanent 24-bed addiction services center in Skyhawk Village, which was presented under the guise of a “community services center.” After a public hearing on December 8, 2022—during which many residents voiced their objections—the Planning Commission voted to deny the Minor Use Permit.

Now, Pura Vida has resubmitted the application in an attempt to obtain approval once again. This proposed 24-bed recovery center remains an unsuitable fit for our neighborhood. It is located too close to Austin Creek Elementary School, would increase traffic congestion, and could negatively affect local small businesses by reducing customer access. Most importantly, it conflicts with the Santa Rosa City General Plan and could expose the city to liability if the proposal moves forward.

We strongly urge the Planning Commission to uphold its previous decision and once again deny this permit.

Sincerely,
Kevin Jiang

My name is Lan Sun, a resident of the beautiful Skyhawk neighborhood. As a parent of a 5-year old girl, I am deeply concerned about the potential of establishing a 24-bed detox center in Skyhawk Village.

Now Pura Vida is re-submitting the application to try a second time to get a Minor User Permit to operate a 24-bed detox center.

Such a detox center is too close to Austin Creek Elementary.

It blocks traffic and takes customers away from other small businesses. The proximity of this detox center to an elementary school poses safety threats to our children and could cause a harmful impact on our community. This proposal also violates the Santa Rosa city General Plan and creates a liability for the city should you continue to support this proposal.

Please take steps today to block this proposal. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Now Pura Vida is re-submitting the application again to get a User Permit to operate a massive 24-bed recovery center in the middle of a neighborhood. I moved to the Skyhawk community for the school and safe neighborhood. The worst part of this proposal is the lack of communication and inclusion from the city. The Skyhawk United association found out about this application 10 days ago which does not provide enough time to review the proposal. In addition, it violates the Santa Rosa city General Plan and creates a liability for the city should you continue to support this proposal.

Furthermore, I am shocked by the short notice for the reapplication. I am a taxpayer and voter- providing such shockingly short notice for such a volatile and divisive issue is simply wrong. I do not deserve to be marginalized in such a manner.

My children have frequented the area behind the building for the last few years. It is one of the best spots for my kids to catch tadpoles. We love to metal detect in the area to find clues to the long abandoned homestead that once stood there. I and other parents do not leave our children there alone. This is because of the folks frequently smoking and gathering at the picnic table behind the building. Recently I had one attempt to engage in a conversation with my 10 year old. When I firmly told him to "back off" he said he is allowed as "I am staying up there" pointing to the apartments. Prior to this I assumed it was just the local homeless/residents. I now know (after the skhawk community meeting 11/12) it is the folks already enrolled in the rehab. I am shocked that after this proposal was rejected that this facility was allowed to expand. I have rights. I do not deserve to be marginalized. We deserve time to discuss and the city must respond and explain what has changed since the last rejection.

Please take steps today to block this proposal.

24 bed Addiction Services Center

Rogerio Pereira <[email protected]> Sat, Nov 1, 2025 at 6:23 PM To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Dear Members of the Planning Commission,
Three years ago, more than 400 Skyhawk residents united to oppose the proposal to establish a permanent 24-bed Addiction Services center in Skyhawk Village—presented misleadingly as a “community services center.” After careful review and a well- attended public hearing on December 8, 2022, the Planning Commission rightly denied the Minor Use Permit based on overwhelming community opposition and clear incompatibility with our neighborhood.

Now, Pura Vida is attempting once again to push through the same proposal—a 24-bed recovery facility in a location that remains completely unsuitable. This site sits dangerously close to Austin Creek Elementary School, poses significant traffic and parking issues, threatens the vitality of local small businesses, and violates Santa Rosa’s General Plan. Approving it would expose the City to unnecessary legal and community backlash.

The residents of Skyhawk have spoken before, and we are speaking again—this facility does not belong here. We urge the Commission to stand by your previous decision and deny this application once more, decisively and permanently.

Respectfully,
Rogerio Pereira

Cc: [email protected], [email protected], Skyhawk United <[email protected]> Dear Members of the Planning Commission,
I respectfully request that you deny the proposal to establish a permanent 24-bed Addiction Services center in Skyhawk Village. While I fully recognize the importance of addiction treatment and the valuable work these organizations do, this type of facility is not appropriate for a residential neighborhood.

Skyhawk Village is a small, community-oriented commercial area that serves the surrounding homes. The local businesses here are invested in maintaining a safe, welcoming environment that supports nearby residents and contributes positively to property values. These businesses rely on good relationships with the community and have a vested interest in keeping the area attractive and harmonious.

By contrast, a 24-bed detox facility does not depend on neighborhood support or participation. Its patients and visitors are not members of our community, and the operation of such a facility could introduce safety, parking, and compatibility challenges inconsistent with the character of Skyhawk Village. This location simply does not provide the infrastructure or setting suited for an intensive residential treatment program.

I urge the Commission to consider
alternative locations in areas zoned for medical, institutional, or commercial services that can better support this important mission without negatively impacting a residential neighborhood.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dear Council Member / Chairperson / Planning Official,
I am writing as a concerned resident of Skyhark Neighborhood to formally express my opposition to the proposed establishment of a detoxification or rehabilitation center (Pura Vida Recovery Services) at 5761 Mountain Hawk Dr. CA 95409. While I understand and support the importance of providing treatment and recovery services for individuals struggling with addiction, I strongly believe that placing such a facility in the middle of a residential area is inappropriate and potentially harmful to our community.

Our neighborhood is primarily residential, home to families with young children, seniors, and long-term residents who value the safety, stability, and quiet character of this area. The introduction of a detox center could significantly alter the environment by increasing traffic, emergency medical responses, and the presence of individuals in crisis — all of which raise safety and security concerns.

Additionally, there is the potential for negative effects on property values, local small businesses, and community cohesion.

We respectfully request that this proposal be reconsidered and relocated to a more suitable zone with appropriate infrastructure and distance from residential homes, schools, and parks.

We urge the City Council / Zoning Board / Planning Commission to deny the permit or zoning variance for this facility at the proposed location. Instead, we encourage city officials to work collaboratively with the organization behind this project to identify alternative sites that can both meet their mission and protect the character and safety of existing residential neighborhoods.

Thank you for considering the concerns of our community. I, along with many of my neighbors, would appreciate the opportunity to speak further on this issue at the next public hearing.

Sincerely,
Wanhua Yang

Placing a recovery facility so close to an elementary school raises serious safety and security concerns for our children and families. Many students walk or bike to school each day, and the increased traffic and activity associated with such a center would significantly heighten risks in the area.

In addition, a facility of this nature could negatively impact the safety, stability, and quality of life within our community. Skyhawk is not zoned or designed for high-intensity medical or treatment operations. The introduction of this facility would disrupt the sense of safety and tranquility that residents have built and maintained for years.

This proposal also violates the intent of Santa Rosa’s General Plan, which aims to protect residential neighborhoods and support small local businesses. The establishment of a 24-bed recovery center would divert customers away from nearby small businesses, reduce property values, and weaken community trust.

While we recognize the importance of recovery and support services, such facilities should be located in appropriately zoned areas—not adjacent to a school and family neighborhood.

For these reasons, I respectfully urge the Planning Commission to deny this permit application in order to preserve the safety, integrity, and well-being of our community.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Xiaoming Lin ( Mason Lin )

Three years ago, over 400 people from the Skyhawk community signed a petition seeking to BLOCK the proposal to establish a permanent 24-bed Addiction Services center in Skyhawk Village under the guise of a community services center. The Planning Commission voted against the Minor Use Permit after a public hearing on 12/8/2022 where many residents spoke against it.

Now Pura Vida is re-submitting the application to try a second time to get a Minor User Permit to operate a 24-bed recovery center. Such a recovery center is too close to Austin Creek Elementary.

It blocks traffic and takes customers away from other
small businesses. Worst of all, it also violates the Santa Rosa city General Plan and creates a liability for the city should you continue to support this proposal.

Please take steps today to block this proposal.

Yanling.

Cc: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Dear Members of the Planning Commission:

I’m writing as a long-time resident of the Skyhawk community, someone who deeply cares about the safety and character of our neighborhood. Three years ago, over 400 of us came together to oppose the proposal for a 24-bed addiction services facility in Skyhawk Village. We spoke up because we believed—and still believe—that our neighborhood is not the right place for a facility like this. The Planning Commission listened then, and we were grateful when you voted to deny the permit after hearing our concerns in December 2022.

Now, Pura Vida is trying once again to push this same project through, and many of us are heartbroken to see it return. Nothing about the situation has changed. The proposed location is still just steps away from Austin Creek Elementary, where our children walk and play every day. It would bring more traffic, safety concerns, and disruption to a small community that was never meant to host such a facility. It would also impact the small local businesses that depend on a calm, family-friendly environment to survive.

We built this neighborhood to be a safe and peaceful place for our families—a place where kids can grow up surrounded by caring neighbors and a strong sense of community. This proposal threatens to undo that. I respectfully ask that you once again stand with Skyhawk residents and protect the neighborhood we’ve worked so hard to build.

Please, do not approve this permit. Our community has spoken clearly before, and we are asking you to hear us again.

With sincere gratitude,
Yanzhu Wen

Dear Chair Weeks and Planning Commissioners:

Skyhawk United, a group of concerned Skyhawk residents, will be attending the Planning Commission tomorrow evening because we are opposed to the Pura Vida Minor Conditional Use Permit. We have actively participated in the development review process so far and shared our concerns about how the proposed treatment facility will negatively affect our neighborhood and the Skyhawk Village shopping center. After reviewing the staff report and resolution, we are concerned that staff’s work is incomplete, does not contain pertinent facts and analysis, and is unfairly biased toward approval of the proposal. Here are our Top 5 areas of concern. 1) The staff report acknowledges that Skyhawk Village was established as a Neighborhood Center within close proximity to the Skyhawk neighborhood. The select General Plan policies analyzed in the staff report do not acknowledge the fundamental purpose of neighborhood centers as part of community planning. The following two policies should have been included in the staff report given that the Skyhawk Village shopping center is a living example of these policies:
a. LUL-E – Promote livable neighborhoods by … ensur[ing] that everyday shopping, park and recreation facilities, and schools are within easy walking distance of most residents.
b. UD-G-1 – Establish a defined center – such as a park, school, neighborhood shopping center, or a transit stop – at the core of large residential projects.

It is frustrating that the staff report only highlights General Plan policies that support the project and does not examine other policies that relate to neighborhood quality of life and the purpose of the Skyhawk Village shopping center.

The staff report acknowledges that the site’s General Plan and zoning are inconsistent.

This is a problem. The staff report explains how the proposed use can be allowed through a Minor Conditional Use Permit but does not acknowledge the detrimental effects that will occur to Skyhawk Village’s function as a Neighborhood Center. Further, the staff report does not acknowledge the project’s inconsistency with the purpose of the CN Commercial Neighborhood zoning district: Uses in these centers are intended to provide for the day-to-day needs of local neighborhoods and workplaces, but not to be of such scope and variety as to attract substantial traffic volumes from outside the neighborhood.

2) Like the Town and Country shopping center in the Grace Tract, the Bellevue Ranch neighborhood center in Bellevue Ranch, and the Oakmont Village shopping center in Oakmont, the Skyhawk Village neighborhood center was created to serve the Skyhawk neighborhood. Converting the neighborhood center to a community-serving center is inconsistent with the General Plan and with the vision for the Skyhawk planned community.

323

122 Calistoga Rd. #175, Santa Rosa, CA 95409

3) The whole project involves both the Large Community Care Facility and conversion of ground floor commercial space into an outpatient addiction treatment facility. The staff report does not acknowledge that both land uses were part of the original project description submitted with the application and does not acknowledge that the Applicant revised the project description in November 2022 to omit reference to the second component. It appears that staff and the applicant are working together to hide the full proposal from the Commission in an effort to piecemeal the project review process.

4) The staff report includes an evaluation of select General Plan policies, including LUL-F pertaining to maintaining a diversity of neighborhoods and varied housing stock, and concludes that a recovery center provides further diversity. This minimal analysis fails to acknowledge that if Skyhawk Village becomes a rehab center, the existing rental apartments will no longer be available to families who may wish to rent apartments in the Skyhawk neighborhood so that children can attend the high quality schools.

5) The staff report does not acknowledge any of the land use consistency issues raised by community members, particularly in the letter from me dated November 28, 2022. It appears that staff is trying to diminish the legitimate concerns of the community by focusing the report exclusively on information that supports approval of the project.

Our Request
Based on all of these concerns, as well as our concerns stated on my letter to you dated November 28, 2022, we respectfully request that the Planning Commission 1) Deny the Minor Conditional Use Permit for the Pura Vida Facility, and 2) Issue a permanent injunction against a large (> 6 persons) Community Care Facility at Skyhawk Village.

Proposed Skyhawk Village Rehab Center
Sandy Litzie <[email protected]> Thu, Nov 17, 2022 at 12:43 PM To: [email protected], [email protected] Cc: [email protected], Skyhawk United <[email protected]> More than 800 people from the Skyhawk and Skyhawk-adjacent communities have signed a change.org petition, and over 400 a door-to-door-circulated petition, seeking to block establishment of a permanent Addiction Services Center in Skyhawk Village. Each of us believes this project is highly inappropriate for the proposed location. Our concerns include:

Proximity to schools and other outdoor areas frequented by children Proximity to multiple variably-vacant residences, inviting break-ins Increased traffic on already congested Highway 12, impacting emergency egress Negative impact on the site's current tenants e.g., loitering, reduced parking availability Increased liability to the City of Santa Rosa for unintended consequences of the Center's activities Additionally, the proposal fails to provide for any professional security patrol, especially at night. Only a single staff person is proposed to manage 24 residents overnight and during emergencies. This minimal staffing is inadequate to ensure the safety of the Center's clients, the Village Center, and nearby residents.

Please reject this proposal as it is incompatible with the local community.

Butler Cellars <[email protected]> Thu, Nov 17, 2022 at 3:02 PM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Dear Councilpersons and Members of Santa Rosa Planning Commission, In less than a month, over 400 people from the Skyhawk community have signed a peon seeking to BLOCK the proposal to establish a permanent inpaent/outpaent addicon services center in Skyhawk Village under the pretext of a Community services center, which it is not. This addicon recovery center does nothing to serve our community and poses a danger to our children, families, homes, parks, and school. It will likely impact traﬃc and will impede neighbors from accessing and patronizing the businesses for which the Village was planned and designed. These include a ﬁtness center, coﬀee, restaurant, oﬃces, and spa this neighborhood relies on and that youth/students also frequent.

The plans also appear to violate the Santa Rosa city General Plan, was not legally veed, and would create a liability for the City should it be approved. Imagine an impaired client falling down the concrete stairs, assaulng someone, not being able to get to a hospital in me, or starng a ﬁre. Many addicts smoke. We lost our enre home and all possessions in the Glass ﬁre not far from the Village on Mountain Hawk Drive. If someone ﬂicks a lit cigaree oﬀ a balcony, it could be disastrous.

Furthermore, the locaon is not suitable for an inpaent/outpaent addicon center for many other reasons. In addion to violang the intended usage of the Village, clients would not have adequate access to necessary social services they require, being able to collect their checks, doctor appointments, access to a hospital, meeng with parole oﬃcers, aending court dates, etc.

I was a Director at the County of Sonoma for many years. I saw ﬁrsthand the eﬀects of addicon; many who suﬀer also have severe mental health issues. While I witnessed unseling behavior on a daily basis by unstable, agitated individuals, including weapons, drug needles, assaults, the, vandalism, screaming, I believe it beer to concentrate on a locaon with access to needed resources and services such as mental health, medical, and law enforcement as we did at the County.

In conclusion, The Village is not a suitable locaon, denies adequate access to those who need services, puts the neighborhood at risk, raises safety concerns, and opens the City to potenal liability and ligaon. Please take appropriate steps today to deny this proposal. It is not consistent with Skyhawk and the basic principles on which it was planned and founded. We appreciate your understanding and consideraon.

Best regards,

Dear Sachnoor Bisla,
First of all, I am a retired Clinical Psychologist and I worked for County mental health and substance abuse services for over thirty years. I am very familiar with both inpatient and outpatient drug treatment services. I live across Highway 12 from Skyhawk Village. I have concerns about developing a drug treatment program at Skyhawk Village, and I wish to explain my reasons.

An obvious reason people don't want certain businesses located near their homes is that they may decrease property values. However, I want to focus on client centered reasons that could prove problematic for those potentially receiving treatment at the proposed drug and alcohol program at Skyhawk Village. I see a number of challenges in the proposal with regard to the residential treatment component specifically. There are supposed to be seven upstairs apartments for residential living. The proposal says a night supervisor is going to check the vitals of new clients every hour, conduct a bed check every fifteen minutes for the first twenty- four hours, and then take vitals (of all clients?) every four hours after that. I don’t see how it is a good practice to have a staff member climb up outside stairs every fifteen minutes for twenty- four hours for new admissions, and to continue to climb up stairs every four hours for twenty- four residential clients. Even if an elevator is used, the procedure seems problematic. In the detox units I’m familiar with, the staff member can walk from the nursing station or office down a corridor to peer into the rooms of the clients to see how they are doing. At the Skyhawk location it appears as if the staff member would have to go outside, go upstairs or an elevator, and knock on the doors of seven individual apartments waking up all the residents several times an hour when new clients arrive. That seems very disruptive to clients experiencing withdrawal.

When clients from the seven apartments are going to groups during the day at the same time, they will either all be trying to fit into a small elevator at once, or they will use the outside stairs. Having clients who are going through the agitation, anxiety, depression, confusion, nausea, perceptual difficulties, and/or hallucinations of withdrawal, e.g., as is possible with alcohol withdrawal, negotiating outdoor stairs seems unsafe. Even if the clients are receiving sedatives as part of their treatment, having to go up and down stairs while detoxing and on medication seems dangerous. Also, a high percentage of clients in substance abuse recovery programs also experience mental health disorders which can easily exacerbate negative symptoms and complicate both symptoms and drug treatment regimens.

What also seems problematic is having people going through alcohol/other drug withdrawal in their own upstairs “apartment” that opens directly to the outdoors. I don’t see how adequate client supervision can take place in such an environment. In the programs I’m familiar with clients were frequently trying to slip away from the facility to either have a cigarette or to obtain more of their drug of choice. People in recovery often remain addicted to smoking cigarettes, and having direct unsupervised access to the wooded park behind the facility is a set-up for a late-night cigarette smoked on a balcony being flicked into the bushes of a park in a high fire danger zone. I don’t know if any of the clients will be court-ordered to receive treatment, but that certainly can influence a client’s level of commitment to recovery and program compliance.

From my experience, saying clients in recovery will “follow guidelines” is not what happens in practice, especially when there is minimal supervision. I’m not trying to demean clients choosing to work on their addiction, but alcohol/drug addiction is so powerful that people struggling with it have often learned to “game systems” and manipulate others in order to obtain 330
their drug of choice. Healthy people in everyday life don’t always follow “the rules” and individuals coping with stresses of drug withdrawal are no exception. In the case of the proposed treatment program at Skyhawk Village, the consequence of error of an anxious, stressed out, or depressed individual going through withdrawal and not following program rules and subsequently flicking a lit cigarette off a balcony, or sneaking down outside stairs at night during winter, or having a friend bring their drug of choice to their outside apartment at night to “take the edge off” could be disastrous.

The proposal says clients must remain within the facility except for program related activities, but it seems that the very act of leaving an upstairs apartment to walk to a downstairs office involves leaving the facility and poses potential problems related to people navigating outside stairs while in withdrawal. The alternative is taking an elevator that comes out next to a bar.

The proposal says a similar facility of theirs is located near a bar, but that doesn’t mean it is a good practice.

The alcohol and drug treatment programs I worked for were located in areas of the community where clients had easy access to social services. Our clients needed to be able obtain their unemployment checks, SSI checks, or General Assistance checks and I imagine residential clients of the proposed treatment programs would have similar needs. The nearest social service office is miles away. How are they supposed to obtain their checks if they are in residential treatment for 30 days? The bus service near Skyhawk Village seems spotty at best.

Taking a long, unsupervised bus ride downtown for a client in recovery seems like a set-up for problems with regard to having to deal with the stresses of waiting at bus stops and being exposed to people who are not currently working on their addiction.

Transportation issues could also play an adverse role in the medical well-being of the clients.

The drug treatment programs I worked for were close to hospitals and/or medical clinics where clients had relatively easy access to medical care when needed. How will the on-site medical workers manage an inpatient client who is withdrawing from alcohol and experiences delirium tremens or has a seizure? Waiting for an ambulance could be problematic.

With regard to outpatient services, the proposal says family members will drive many of the clients to their groups so parking won’t be a problem. However, what are the family members going to do while their loved one is receiving treatment? Are they going to drive all the way back into town and drive back, or are they going to “hang around” at Skyhawk Village, wait in their cars, listen to music, or visit (smoke in) the adjacent park? Having clients who are dealing with the stresses of withdrawal who are negotiating concrete outside stairs, receiving treatment and smoking cigarettes in a fire zone, miles from their doctor, miles from social services, and 100 feet from a bar doesn’t seem like a practical location to build a drug treatment facility.

Sincerely,

Philip C. Hoile, Ph.D.

Skyhawk Village Pura Vida Rehab application for a 24 bed Community Care Facility DJ Phimister <[email protected]> Wed, Nov 23, 2022 at 7:45 PM To: [email protected], [email protected] Cc: Kathie Ramazzotti <[email protected]>, DJ Phimister <[email protected]>, [email protected], [email protected]
Dear Councilmembers and Planning Department,

My name is DJ Phimister. My wife and I live near the Skyhawk Village Shopping Center. I was recently made aware of a proposal to establish a 24-bed outpaent detox and addicons facility for substance abusers in the shopping center. If my understanding is correct, the facility will house clients for 7 to 30 days and is part of a recovery program for alcohol and drug abuse issues. The facility is owned by someone with other similar facilies, although they are of a much smaller nature than the one proposed for the Skyhawk Village Center. We have a multude of quesons and concerns about this proposal, which we have listed below. Perhaps these can be addressed at the upcoming Planning meeng on December 8th.

What types of medicaons will be dispensed at the facility? Methadone is just one prescripon drug commonly used to taper someone oﬀ opioids. It is illegal for someone to drive under the inﬂuence of Methadone. If that drug is going to be dispensed on an outpaent basis at the facility, then there is the likelihood of clients driving to or from the facility while under the inﬂuence. If it is dispensed to clients living on site, then there will be people at the site who will be in various stages of tapering oﬀ opioids. Human nature would dictate that they are not going to sit in their room 24 hours a day.

They will most likely end up going to and from work during the week and walking around the shopping center or nearby parks in the evenings and weekends. Methadone will cause drowsiness. Are we going to end up with people sleeping in the parks or around the shopping center? I know this sounds reaconary, but it really isn't. It is a predictable outcome of having upwards of 24 people with substance abuse issues living on site, as well as possibly having others in and out to pick up their medicaons on a regular basis. What security precauons will be maintained for the medicaons? Will the staﬀ dispensing the medicaon always have the proper license/credenals to do so?

How many outpaent clients can be expected on a daily basis? Are there, or will there be, limitaons on outpaent numbers? One or two people a day would probably not be much of an issue. Having 20 to 30 people a day coming to the facility for medicaons or counseling for problems that typically have a 40% to 50% relapse rate is an almost stascal certainty to be a problem.

Will the outpaent clinic be dispensing syringes? Will there be a needle exchange program as part of the funcons of the outpaent clinic, or only if it is necessary for the medicaon being administered? Will the live-in clients be given syringes so they can self-administer their medicaon? If so, who will track, recover and dispose of the needles? If no program is in place, we'll end up ﬁnding needles on the sidewalks, and in the parks, shopping center and nearby school yards.

Will a staﬀ member be on site to address issues with the client’s 24 hours a day, or just during business hours? Even if someone is on site, how willing or obligated will they be to confront someone who is not following the rules?

Will clients living on site be commung to work during the day? The increased traﬃc from this alone would be problemac at an intersecon that already has a high rate of issues, without including the probability of someone driving under the inﬂuence of a prescripon drug.

There is a bar right next door to the proposed facility. Probably not a good idea for anyone recovering from alcohol issues. The bar is not going to know if someone is a client of the facility and would most likely serve them. In the eyes of the Alcohol Beverage Control, any problems the client might cause would be aributed to the establishment, which could cause them problems with their license.

332
Will the clients be allowed visitors and/or aer-hours guests? If yes, will it be supervised? If allowed without supervision it will be a recipe for disaster. If visitors are not allowed, who will supervise and enforce such a rule? Certainly not the police - having a guest is not a crime. Again, will staﬀ be on site 24/7 and if so, would they be willing or capable of enforcing such a restricon? A few years ago, I lived on the west side of town, near a half-way house for recovering alcoholics. We, and the rest of the neighborhood, found out about the facility when a vising "guest" got into an argument with a friend (client) who was living at the half-way house. The argument escalated and the client ended up stabbing the guest who later died. It was an extreme situaon, but later analysis indicated that there was no on-site supervision, and the clients regularly drank or came home intoxicated. There were approximately six beds at that facility; this proposed facility will have four mes that.

Liability. Who will be liable for any problems associated with this facility? Will the business owner be personally liable if a client somehow, even accidentally injures someone, or only the business? If so, are there minimum insurance limits which can be required? Will the City of Santa Rosa incur some of the liability? Security. Will there be security personnel on site or only staﬀ members for the recovery programs? If my math is correct, it looks like there will be as many as four clients per apartment. What are the odds four people with substance issues can live in a room together, and all get along, without there being some sort of problem? 24 hour on-site personnel seems like it should be a given. Can monitored video surveillance (and maintained recordings) of the common areas, hallways and walkways be a requirement? I would think it would be crical to be able to see what goes on and who comes and goes from the facility. It would also be a great invesgave tool for law enforcement, potenally saving many hours of invesgaon should an incident occur.

Not the right place. My understanding is the Skyhawk Shopping Center was built to provide a service for the local community - a place where residents could walk to or stop by to pick up commonly needed items or services. The proposed facility does not meet those criteria at all. I haven't had an opportunity to speak to the business owners yet, but I can't imagine any of them would be in support of such a facility at this locaon. A business or industrial area, away from temptaons such as the bar next door would be far more appropriate. This neighborhood has a large populaon of both seniors and children who use the parks and shopping center, or just take neighborhood walks, on a daily basis. Although the purpose of such a facility is admirable, we need to factor in the fact that recidivism and failures can, and will, occur on a fairly regular basis. The best way to limit the impact of the downside of the proposal is to choose an appropriate locaon. A wise man once said, "If it's predictable, it's preventable." The outcome here is predictable - someone will get hurt. The way to prevent that is to put it in a more suitable locaon.

Planning Department Override. The Planning Department may decide to override or adjust the stated purpose of the shopping center and approve this facility. Should that occur, a very structured Condional Use Permit should be a requirement of the approval. Arcles of the Use Permit should include the issues previously stated. I'm sure there are others which could be brought up at a meeng involving the local residents, the facility owner and the Planning Department. Approval of this project without a thorough Condional Use Permit would enable the owner to change any promised condions without repercussions. On-site staﬀ, security precauons, etc. could be adjusted or ignored at the choosing of the owner. In my opinion, the Use Permit should include quarterly reviews for the ﬁrst year. The review could expand to annually aer the ﬁrst year if there are no major issues, or issues that are idenﬁed or encountered are addressed by the owner on a mely basis. Sancons should also be in place to revoke the use permit if the owner/business does not comply with the condions.

If possible, I would be happy to speak to, and answer quesons about the above issues at the December 8th meeng.

Thank you for your me and consideraon.

Dear Commission Chair and Commissioners, November 26, 2022 My name is Maryann Poni, I live at 5725 Evening Way, Santa Rosa. I moved into Skyhawk Community 23 years ago in 1999. I am a retired Law Enforcement Sergeant, retired from San Francisco Sheriff’s Department. I am speaking against the proposal by Pura Vida to open a 24 bed facility in Skyhawk Village located on the corner of Hwy 12 and Mountain Hawk Drive.

We moved into Skyhawk district because it was a family neighborhood where children are free to run outside. Where our two grandsons could play outside and enjoy our beautiful weather and roam its many areas and where it’s safe from traffic and fast moving cars.

This letter is to voice my concern about the 24 bed proposal by Pura Vida Recovery Services in Skyhawk Village. Presently the site is zoned for Neighborhood Commercial which allows 6 or fewer clients. I know those who built this community thought to protect the children in this area because this area was built around Austin Creek Elementary school. People moved to this community specifically to send their young children to Austin Creek Elementary school. I am concerned with the safety of our children and the traffic if the Pura Vida Recovery is increased from a 6 beds to a 24 bed facility. In my line of work, after 30 years, I have seen so many horrific sights of young children hurt. Many are hurt during a drinking spree by an alcoholic or drug addict. Young children are innocent and need our protection. Alcoholics and children don’t mix and should not be around one another. Yes, alcoholics need a place for recovery but not next to a neighborhood built around children. We as adults need to protect our children and putting a 24 bed faculty for alcohol recovery does not meet that need, in my opinion. In this area a 6 bed faculty is manageable but not 24 beds. Please vote down this proposal and protect our children and the neighborhood they live in.

Thank you,
Maryann Poni

This is a project that needs to be stopped now; before the developer has time to further influence SR City.

I doubt that there are any Rincon Valley residents that would think this facility belongs here. Traffic (pedestrians and cyclists), poor emergency vehicle and emergency evacuation egress, proximity to schools, proximity to residences (with multiple empty homes during the day and night inviting break-ins). I would also surmise that a number of these residents of the facility could be smokers as well. Will they be allowed outside to smoke? And if so what are their safety measures for outside smokers in a area of high fire risk?
From their downloads: “8 spaces designated for tenant #1(Anytime Fitness), 4 spaces designated for tenant #2 (Massage Envy), 0 spaces designated for tenant #3(Edward Jones)” I don’t know who came up with 8 spaces for Anytime Fitness users; I think that this is poorly estimated, as its more likely much greater during morning hours. As the parking lot currently is in use I have had to park on hiway 12 to visit here.

The entire Sky Hawk Market complex was a mistake when it was originally constructed due to poor access off of Mountain Hawk and a parking lot that has way too narrow of driveways and too many obstacles to navigate through etc.

Consider this a written request to have an open meeting as well as ON SITE signage outlining the project.

Subject: Detox and Addiction rehab in Santa Rosa
Hello,
I am a Skyhawk resident and homeowner at 5946 Sunhawk drive, 95409.

I have been following and reading up on the rehab center proposed for the skyhawk village. I strongly feel this is the wrong place for a rehab center. Consider the following:
~We already suffer from a critical shortage of lower income housing. This is true throughout California but also especially true in our neighborhood. We will be removing apartments from circulation in order to place a controversial drug rehab center. This is nonsensical.
~We have a small community center that caters to the community. Is that really the signage we want at the main (and really, the only viable) entrance to the community? ~On what planet is it a good idea to place an alcohol detox and rehab center above a full bar? ~I know for absolute certainty that the two main businesses are very concerned- a gym and a restaurant/bar. As you may or may not be aware- we have been through a long string of failed businesses in that center. Rickys Eastbound is the first successful restaurant in the location- a locally owned business. The traffic, smoking, loitering that is endemic to these centers is inappropriate. How do I know this? I attended one. The risk is real.

The history is factual. I made a game of outsmarting the center staff- and succeeded. If you want to know my simple tricks- I am happy to share. The glossy brochures always promise close staffing and watch. The truth was they slept often and paid minimal attention. I spent most of my free time smoking and hanging out with like minded folks. I recently elected to not join the gym under which the facility will be located. I don't want to take my children to a gym surrounded by this element. The gym owner expressed his understanding but also noted I was far from the first to rethink my decision to join based on the pro vida situation.

~Its location to a coveted elementary school makes this wholesale inappropriate and inherently dangerous. This is the main entrance and exit for these families and children.

~You may recall the recent incident in skyhawk in which a high man walked into an open house and trapped a woman upstairs. She slammed closed the door, opened a window and began frantically screaming outside. This was enough to startle the man into bolting. He was later found hiding. Guess what he failed twice? Addiction rehab.

~In following Ben P- he has proven himself to be a deceiving and shady character. He floods the next door conversations acting as a homeowner and keeps referencing a petition. In reviewing the comments- aside from Ben and his non skyhawk cronies- NONE- I repeat NONE of those in support are from the skyhawk neighborhood. It seems quite clear Ben is asking those he knows (or previous clients) to flood the conversations with supportive (and often directly insulting) comments.

~This is far from my area of expertise- but it seems that these facilities are unregulated. Ben P (The owner I believe) is free to do what he wishes without oversight. Does this sound wise to you?

As someone who eventually got sober and went on to be a tax paying member of our community and homeowner- I can attest to the need for the facilities. While their success rates are low- they are an important piece of the "addiction puzzle". However- these facilities should never be located in quiet neighborhoods adjacent to schools. While these desperate folks attempt to clean up (or are forced to attend by desperate family members as I was) they make mistakes. Addiction- while being treated- clouds judgement. And desperation during what is nearly always a slow moving crisis creates significant risk to those around them. I can say this not 338
just as someone who attended, failed and eventually cleaned up but also as someone who has made a career out of understanding addition and pain. I (along with my wife) am a CRNA- a nurse anesthetists. I understand the desperation of the families. I understand and empathize with the unyielding power of addiction. I also understand the dark underbelly this disease draws. This is the absolutely worng place for this facility.

I am begging you- for the sake of our community, business owners and especially children- please find a more suitable location for this endeavour. Provida MUST NOT be placed in the Skyhawk shopping center.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Drew <[email protected]> Tue, Nov 15, 2022 at 9:37 AM To: [email protected], [email protected] Cc: [email protected], Skyhawk United <[email protected]> Council Members and Members of Santa Rosa Planning Commission, As a physician who cares for thousands of members of this community I strongly oppose the Skyhawk Village Addiction Rehabilitation center. Through my years of education and experience I understand the need for this type of treatment facility, however, this facility does not belong near a residential community and in close proximity to Austin Creek Elementary School.

Furthermore, it needs to be closer to easier access to resources and acute medical care should an unfortunate overdose event occur. I also question Pura Vida’s commitment to care, and their incentive for financial gain, and I also question the level of success they have achieved in the past at other facilities.

The initial zoning of the Skyhawk Village structure means it just not intended for a large medical inpatient facility with scalable outpatient and controlled substance pharmacy services. Not only would our residents and children suffer negative consequences, but also the adjacent businesses in Skyhawk Village would suffer loss of busniess. Having just starting to recover from intense COVID restrictions I’m afraid it would force the gym, Ricky’s, massage spa and other to close as this crowded rehab facility would deter business. There are much better alternative locations that would serve our community and patients more optimally, including sites near downtown Santa Rosa with access to transit, hospital care (Memorial), banks, food, parking, away from threat of fires, and further concentration of resources. Not within one of the Santa Rosa’s residential communities. Please protect your tax payers, constituents/ voters and the safety, and health of our children, elementary education and already established, prosperous, cohesive community.

Dear Councilpersons and Members of Santa Rosa Planning Commission,

In less than a month, over 400 people from the Skyhawk community have signed a petition seeking to BLOCK the proposal to establish a permanent Addiction Services center in Skyhawk Village under the guise of a Community services center. This addiction recovery center does nothing to serve our community, poses a danger to our children as well as our senior citizens who frequent the shops in Skyhawk Village. This 'Center' will increase the already congested intersections as well as traffic in the area (and into the adjacent residential neighborhoods), and will take customers away from our gym, coffee shop and restaurant. Worst of all, it also violates the Santa Rosa City General Plan and creates a liability for the City should the Council and Planning Commission continue to support this proposal!

Please, we ask you to take steps today to block this proposal. We love the Skyhawk Community and the basic principles on which it was planned and founded. This proposal seeks to destroy the very fabric of why we love Skyhawk and the surrounding community. An Addiction Services Center does not belong in a residential area. Please keep it from happening here.

[email protected] <[email protected]> Sun, Nov 27, 2022 at 6:45 PM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Dear Members of the Santa Rosa Planning Commission,

From the very beginning of the Skyhawk Community sales in 1995 the sales brochures and material showed the entry to Skyhawk to be a commercial center. All of the homebuyers assumed this would mean businesses such as a grocery store, coffee shop, ice cream store, banking or other standard commercial pursuits. These businesses would enhance and support the community.

Later the concept of living units was added. Live work units were trending and successful throughout the Bay Area. No one thought much about the new direction of adding living units because it was a residential community and the units just added more neighbors.

No one considered that the residential units could suddenly be transitioned to an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center with temporary housing for patients.

This type of housing creates a great amount of additional traffic near the entrance to Skyhawk. Parking is another issue. When my wife and I recently walked by the center there were only six free parking spots.

The proposed use projects 24 adults living in 6 units of approximately 1,180 square feet. The recovering tenants will not be long term but supposedly move away at the end of their rehabilitation and immediately be replaced by others in the program.

This transient population will not at all enhance the living environment of Skyhawk and potentially could detract from the community. We strongly oppose the approval of drug and alcohol rehabilitation units in the Skyhawk neighborhood.

Sincerely
Hal and Diane Sackett

Council members and member of the Planning Commission:

I know other neighbors of mine have written you to express their concern that a drug rehab center is being planned for our little Skyhawk Village. The news is distressing to our neighborhood because we are clearly a residential area with a few, quiet businesses in Skyhawk Village. We're also a geographically isolated development, with a stream and ravine separating us from St. Francis and no other developments of any kind bordering us. So adding a rehab center so close to our homes is jolting and seems out of keeping with the character of our neighborhood. Not to mention the proximity to the Austin Creek school. The number of cars planned to be in the tiny parking lot speak to how disruptive this center would be to us. And that the center would have people coming for appointments as well as residents add to the congestion that's not in keeping with our current traffic patterns.

The "study" done by the business indicates that the center will have no disruptive affect on the homes nearby. Adding such a trafficked enterprise to our streets will be disruptive. Allowing our children to walk to school with no adult doesn't seem like a safe practice. Not to mention, what are the residents of the center supposed to do? Skyhawk offers only a coffee shop, a restaurant and neighborhood walks to them. A bus isn't even available to residents.

We're also concerned about the devaluation of our homes. As we're researched drug rehab centers that are in residential areas, studies show property values are negatively affected.

Please consider the negative impact on Skyhawk and seek a more suitable building for this center--for the sake of home owners as well as those who would reside in the rehab center. --

As a better option for this type of business, I would suggest The Stonehouse at 3550 Sonoma Hwy. As this property is currently for sale and has an active use permit with the City of Santa Rosa as a “Community Care Treatment Program”. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/3555-Sonoma-Hwy-Santa-Rosa-CA/26159340/

We oppose the Pura Vida Recovery Services project’s proposed location at 5761 Mountain Hawk Drive for multiple reasons. We do not think it will be good for the community, which has an elementary school within walking distance of this site. Also, the location would not be convenient for many of those who are seeking treatment for drug addiction, which could be a deterrent for many.

We respectfully ask the City to find a more appropriate location.

My family and I are original owners building on dirt and moving in September of 1996. We have raised our 3 children in this house and have spent many tens of thousands of dollars in property taxes including paying in for 25 years for a bond that funded building all the streets and infrastructure in Skyhawk.

We do not need, want or will we accept drug addicts coming into our neighborhood Especially so close to our elementary school.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Dear Councilpersons and Members of Santa Rosa Planning Commission,

My husband and I bought our home in Skyhawk in 2016 for the sole reason that it was a secluded community with paved walking paths, parks, and nearby schools where we knew we could raise our children in a safe neighborhood with other families surrounding us . Since 2016, we have loved living here and the community of neighbors that has come together to support one another during fires, evacuations or just keeping an eye out for each other in the neighborhood is what makes this neighborhood so special and attractive to the working class in the community.

The proposed rehab would rob my children of this safe neighborhood they call home, where they are allowed to roam on their bicycles with friends. I would no longer feel safe allowing them this freedom, with a drug & alcohol rehab just doors away. I would no longer feel safe allowing my teenage daughter to walk with friends to the local Colleen's coffee shop to enjoy weekend muffin treats with a rehab facility in the same center.

Additionally, this rehab will block traffic in Skyhawk Village and take customers away from our local coffee shop and family owned restaurant. These businesses will not survive with this rehab. Worst of all, it also violates the Santa Rosa city General Plan and creates a liability for the city should you continue to support this proposal!!

I will be travelling tomorrow and unable to attend the zoom meeting. Please see my questions below that I sent to the project planners and city council. I think the answers to these questions will demonstrate that the project is improperly sited.

Also: I am willing, if the City votes to proceed, to contribute to a legal fund. (Hopefully, there are lawyers in Skyhawk who would be willing to work pro bono.) I fear that the community will ultimately have to mount a legal challenge and sue to stop this insanity.

Regards,
Mark

Dear Sachnoor Bisla,
I understand that you are the project planner for the Pura Vida Recovery Services project proposed for 5761 Mountain Hawk #101. The location appears problematic, as
Sky Hawk Park is directly across the street from this site, with its community benches and a toddlers' playground. A walking path leads straight to Austin Creek Elementary School, which has a playground and open space regularly used after school hours by neighborhood children without adult supervision. Children walk to and from school unsupervised along these paths.

As a nearby home owner, taxpayer, and voter with with a wife and young children, I have would like the city to answer the following questions:

What would you advise parents to do in terms of supervision to ensure the safety of our children near the facility? What additional policing is the City of Santa Rosa committing to the Sky Hawk and Rincon Valley communities to ensure the safety of its residents and especially its children? Will courts ever order low-level convicted criminals to be treated at this facility? What percentage of patients are expected to be Santa Rosa Council District 3 residents and what percentage will be from other Santa Rosa Council districts?
What will be the service area for this facility, Santa Rosa or all of Sonoma County? If all of Sonoma County, what percentage of patients are expected to be from outside Santa Rosa? What other sites in Sonoma County offer the services that the Pura Vida Recovery Services project plans to offer? 380
Unlike many parts of Sonoma county, Sky Hawk and Rincon Valley do not have a large problem with drug addicts and the often attendant homelessness. Can you help me understand the motivation / reasons for siting the project in this community?
Thanks in advance,
Mark Elbert

A high percentage of paents experience mental health disorders and can not really control themselves as I learned from one of my friends whose son had drug issues. Safety, traﬃc, Rehab accidents and more do not do any good to the community that has high populaon density but risks. It has very negave impact to our Ausn Creek elementary school kids. Plus the rehab is in Skyhawk village where there are business including a bar, which does not help rehab work.

We really don't think this is a praccal locaon to build Rehab at Skyhawk Village. Please listen to voice and help us not to approve this proposal.

Dear Councilpersons and Members of Santa Rosa Planning Commission, I am writing to you all as a concerned citizen regarding the application for a permit to utilize the Skyhawk Village Center for the purposes of an adult rehabilitation center. While I am in favor of helping people that are struggling with the fight to release themselves from the grips of drugs, I am also concerned that this location is the correct place to house such a facility. To this end I would like to ask that you reconsider the application for this use and do not approve the application for using the Skyhawk Village as a adult rehabilitation center. There are several reasons for this concern, and I would highlight my most important ones;

1. The location was and is intended to service the community of Skyhawk and I am struggling based on the original intended use of this location how the council sees it fit to even consider such an application 401

2. The next concern I have is that the location is not conducive to the successful rehabilitation of the residents, given that it’s located in the center of 4 different residential areas.

3. It understood that the applicant proposes to provide 24hr care for the 24 bed facility with only 12 staff, which does not seem like the residents will be well cared for from a more practical basis.

4. In less than a month, over 400 people from the Skyhawk community have signed a petition seeking to BLOCK the application to establish a permanent Addiction Services center in Skyhawk Village under the guise of a community services center. This addict recovery center does nothing to serve our community and poses a danger to our children. It blocks traffic and takes customers away from our coffee shop and restaurant.

Stop the Skyhawk Village Rehab!
Deshmukh, Susheel <[email protected]> Tue, Nov 15, 2022 at 5:18 PM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, Skyhawk United <[email protected]> Dear Councilpersons and Members of Santa Rosa Planning Commission, In less than a month, over 400 people from the Skyhawk community have signed a petition seeking to BLOCK the proposal to establish a permanent Addiction Services center in Skyhawk Village under the guise of a Community services center. This addict recovery center does nothing to serve our community and poses a danger to our children. It blocks traffic and takes customers away from our coffee shop and restaurant. Worst of all, it also violates the Santa Rosa city General Plan and creates a liability for the city should you continue to support this proposal!! Please take steps today to block this proposal. We love Skyhawk and the basic principles on which it was planned and founded. This proposal seeks to destroy the very fabric of why we love Skyhawk. Please keep it from happening here.
