11. REPORT ITEMS
11.1
BACKGROUND: In 1992, the City of Santa Rosa developed and adopted the Water Efficient Landscape Policy which applies to Commercial, Industrial and Institutional development, Park and Greenbelt development, and common areas of Single Family and Multi Family development. This policy was revised in 2007 and a Residential Landscape Policy was also created and implemented that year.
The Water Conservation in Landscaping Act of 2006 (AB 1881) required the Department of Water Resources, not later than January 1, 2009, by regulation, to update the model ordinance in accordance with specified requirements, reflecting the provisions of AB 2717. AB 1881 requires local agencies, not later than January 1, 2010, to adopt the updated model ordinance or equivalent or it will be automatically adopted by statute. In response to this legislation the City convened a regional stakeholder group (Napa, Marin, Sonoma and Mendocino) that reviewed and modified the State Ordinance to create a stronger more cohesive Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Board of Public of Utilities and the Department of Utilities, that the Council, by resolution and ordinance introduction:
1) Limit the application of the Water Efficient Landscape Policy Resolution No. 21142 and as amended by City Council Resolution No. 26846 and the Single Family Landscape Policy as adopted by City Council Resolution No. 26690, to development projects that have a completed application for Building or Grading Permit, Plan Check, Design Review or Utilities Certificate, on file prior to January 1, 2010; and
2) Enact Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (Chapter 14-30) to the Santa Rosa City Code.
5:00 P.M.

BACKGROUND: On August 27, 2009, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution (6-0-1) recommending rezoning of the site located at 1683, 1725, 1767, 1777, and 1875 Petaluma Hill Road from R-1-6 Single Family Residential to the R-3-30 Multi-Family Residential district. The rezoning would achieve consistency with the site's Medium High Density Residential General Plan land use designation, implementing General Plan Policy H-C-4 which calls for rezoning of Medium and Medium High Density sites of two acres or more concurrent with adoption of the Housing Element to facilitate the development of higher density sites.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning Commission and the Community Development Department that the Council introduce an ordinance rezoning property located at 1683, 1725, 1767, 1777 and 1875 Petaluma Hill Road to the R-3-30 Multi-Family Residential district.
