Document Description
The 80-acre Southeast Specific Plan (“SESP”) area is bounded to the north by the Canon Manor Specific Plan Area, to the east by Petaluma Hill Road and undeveloped land, to the south by Valley House Drive and undeveloped land, and to the west by Bodway Parkway and land in the Sonoma Mountain Village Planned Development.
The Project proposes modifications to the previously approved architectural styles of home plans for the Rural Estate land use (Lots 4-15 and 30-36) in Phase IV of the Southeast Specific Plan (SESP). The Project proposes minor modifications to the Development Area Plan within the Rural Estate residential land use area (a portion of Phase IV). Specifically, new home plans for Rural Estate homes and an Executive Estate home plan option on Lots 4-15 and 30-36 of Phase IV are proposed. The proposed amendment would remove the previously approved “Spanish Colonial” and Italianate” architectural styles and allow prospective homeowners the option to choose from a modified and expanded list of approved architectural styles including "Farmhouse," "Spanish," " Modern," and "Craftsman." No other modifications are proposed to Phase IV.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Section 15182(c), Residential Project Consistent with a Specific Plan
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed Project, which modifies the list of architectural styles for already approved residential development, is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15182(c), Residential Project Consistent with a Specific Plan and Public Resources Code Section 21155.4. These sections provide a statutory exemption for residential projects that are consistent with a Specific Plan for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was previously certified. The approved residential buildout of the SESP, including the specific parcels comprising Phase IV (Lots 4-15 and 30-36), underwent environmental review as part of the SESP Environmental Impact Report (EIR) certified by Rohnert Park’s City Council on December 7, 2010 (SCH# 2003112011), as
described in City Council Resolution No. 2010-34. The proposed amendment represents a minor design modification that remains consistent with the SESP as analyzed in the certified EIR.
