RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA
DENYING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR DRIVE-THROUGH RETAIL SALES FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2000 SEBASTOPOL ROAD- FILE NUMBER CUP23-041 WHEREAS, an application was submitted requesting the approval of a Conditional Use Permit for drive-through retail sales operating from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., to be located at 2000 Sebastopol Road, also identified as Sonoma County Assessor's Parcel Number(s) 035-113-044; and
WHEREAS, on January 9, 2023, a neighborhood meeting was held, and on February 6, 2024, an additional informal meeting was held by staff at the request of neighbors, to receive comments and questions regarding the proposed drive-through; and WHEREAS, on February 12, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the application at which all those wishing to be heard were allowed to speak or present written comments and other materials; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has considered the application, the staff reports, oral and written, the General Plan and zoning on the subject property, the testimony, written comments, and other materials presented at the public hearing; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that after consideration of the reports, documents, testimony, and other materials presented, and pursuant to City Code Section 20-
52.050 (Conditional Use Permit), the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Rosa finds and determines:
C. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity would not be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity due to noise impacts, as well as traffic impacts that further exacerbate existing adverse traffic conditions on Kenmore Lane and Sebastopol Road; and
D. The site is physically unsuitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, due to inadequate ingress and egress and physical constraints that prevent adequate access to the site and operation of a queueing plan; and E. Granting the permit would constitute a nuisance and be injurious or detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare in the project vicinity due to inadequate ingress and egress resulting in impacts to the intersection of Stony Point Road and Sebastopol Road, the neighborhood, and the community at large.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Rosa does hereby deny a Conditional Use Permit for drive-through retail sales at 2000 Sebastopol Road.
