William thank you and I am in support of the Roseland development project you're about to discuss thank you so any other comments I don't see anybody going to the podium so excuse me with that I'll go ahead and close this public comment portion and go on to commission business our statement of purpose is that we are charged with carrying out the California planning and zoning laws in the city of Santa Rosa duties include implementing of plans ordinances and policies relating to land use matters assisting in writing and implementing the general plan and area plans holding public hearings and acting on proposed changes to the zoning code zoning map general plan tentative subdivision maps and undertaking special planning studies as needed so with that we'll move on to commissioner reports are there any commissioner reports seeing none we'll move on to we don't have anything other so we'll move on to department report yes thank you chair weeks members of the commission Jessica Jones deputy director of planning I don't have much to report other than just to let you all know that we will be canceling our October 12th planning commission meeting we don't have any items for that meeting so you'll have the night off we do have one item tentatively scheduled for the October 26th planning commission meeting and that is the continued 7-11 alcohol conditionally use permit item and we're just going to kind of see as we move forward if we're going to have a full commission for that meeting so we will be in touch with the commission but as of right now we at least have that item for that meeting date that's all thank you so item six statements of abstentions any abstentions okay so then we'll move on to consent items which we have none so right on to our one item for tonight which is a report item it is a request to phase road Rosalind village subdivision tear daily rossus tentative map 6 6 5 and 8 8 3 Sebastopol road it is an exparte item so we'll go ahead and start with commissioner Holton I visited the site I have nothing further to disclose thank you vice chair Duggan I did not visit the site specifically but I have been to the food park so I know of the site thank you commissioner Peterson I have nothing to disclose thank you commissioner Sanders I have visited the site and I have nothing to disclose and I also visited the site and have nothing to disclose so with that miss Nicholson thank you chair weeks and members of the commission Amy Nicholson supervising planner and the item before you is again a request to phase the Rosalind village or tear day rossus subdivision map the slide here shows a graphic of the three proposed phases and I'll explain them in a bit more detail in just a moment just as a refresher for the commission this project has been before you a number of times first was back in February of 2019 when the tentative map was approved along with some associated entitlements and this action was appealed to the city council who upheld the commission's approval in June that map approval was valid for 24 months and then the state actually passed an assembly bill which extended the life of the map by an additional 18 months more recently in March the commission acted on a one-year time extension for the map and so that brings the map to a new expiration date of December 25th of this year in August of this year our department received a phasing request and then an amended request in September the project site is located just south of highway 12 in southwest Santa Rosa and is comprised of 665 and 883 Sebastopol Road the site is within the Rosalind area Sebastopol Road specific plan area and priority development area and is designated for medium-density residential development as well as retooned business services development the slide here shows the approved tentative map and there are no proposed changes to this configuration with this request so the map approved a total of four lots and then also a parcel a lot one includes the affordable housing site and then lot two is proposed to be market rate housing lot three is like a non-residential civic space lot four was proposed to be a kind of retail or Mercado building and then parcel a is like a civic Plaza so this slide shows the three different phases phase one is on the left side of the screen in the pink color and that includes lots one and lots three and then the streets which provide access to these lots and then phase two includes lots two and three and four I must have misspoken perhaps it looks like that narrative is incorrect so actually phase two would just be lots two and four and then phase three would be improvement of parcel a which again is that kind of park public Plaza space title 19 of the city code is what governs subdivisions and so that's the area that we're focusing on today for our analysis and section 19 28 to 6 0 governs the filing of multiple final maps oftentimes the Commission might see a request for a phased tentative map and so that's acted on during the public hearing for that map in this case this is after the fact and so there is a process which requires that the planning Commission and City Engineer approve or allow this phasing after the map has been approved and this can be done without a public hearing concurrence of the Commission to allow the filing of multiple maps does not affect the expiration date so again that's December 25th of this year and just for the Commission's information there are a total of four one-year extensions available for this project this request is consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act in that it implements land uses that are consistent with an adopted specific plan and it also meets the requirements for a statutory exemption under sequel guideline section 15182 so with that the planning and economic development department recommends that the planning Commission by resolution approve the request to phase the Rosalind Village subdivision or to your dearest tentative map and I'm happy to answer any questions along with Gabe Osborne acting director of planning and economic development he's here as well and knows a lot more about subdivisions than I do and then we also have a representative from the applicant team here thank you thank you are there any questions of staff at this time okay seeing none I will go ahead and open the public comment portion for this item if you have a comment on this item please go to the one of the podiums seeing nobody rise I will go ahead and close the public comment portion on the of this item so any final questions nope okay so would someone like to make a motion for the resolution commissioner Holton I'd like to make a resolution of the planning commission of the city of Santa Roja approving the request to phase the Rosalind Village Tierra delas de las Rosas subdivision located at 665 and 883 Sebastopol Road assessor's part of soul number 125 111 037 and 125 101 031 and a way to get the reading a second second okay so that was moved by commissioner Holton seconded by vice chair Duggan so we'll go ahead and start with commissioner Holton for comments I'm familiar with the prior extension and this is really well presented by staff thank you very much and yeah I'll be in support of of approving the request to phase the tenant map thank you so commissioner Sanders I'll also will I can make all the findings to approve the basing of the map so commissioner Peterson I can also make all the required findings you vice chair Duggan I can also make all the required findings and I also can make all the required findings so with that if we could have the vote please commissioner Holton I commissioner Peterson I commissioner Sanders I vice chair Duggan I chair weeks I so that passes with five eyes commissioner Carter and Cisco being absent and I would like to note that this action is final unless an appeal is filed with the city's clerk's office within 10 calendar days of today's decision pursuant to zoning code section 20-62 point 030 and we have no public hearing items tonight so with that we will adjourn the meeting thank you
