The Planning and Economic Development Department recommended approval, and staff stated the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it replaces existing structures with substantially the same purpose and capacity.

The project covers two adjacent parcels (two APNs) within the city's North Station area combining district and the R3-30 zoning district, which is intended for medium- to higher-density residential uses. Staff presenter Suzanne Hartman said one existing carport will not be replaced because of an existing easement. The permit application did not include solar; applicant representative Dan Hughes told the administrator the new metal carports are structurally capable of supporting solar panels in the future, but any solar installation would require a separate permit review.

During the public comment period, a resident who identified herself as Janice Carmen spoke in favor of the replacement, and another attendee expressed appreciation for the investment in property maintenance. Staff said SPAC analysis found required findings can be met and reported no unresolved issues from review. Planning staff also said the project was reviewed for CEQA and determined to be a categorical exemption (staff referenced CEQA Class 2 and Class 3 exemptions during the presentation).

Zoning Administrator McKay approved the minor design review permit on the record. Staff announced that the action is final unless an appeal is filed with the city clerk within 10 calendar days of the decision; the meeting transcript records that date as March 3, 2024. The record posted with the decision will list the full conditions of approval and contact information for the planner.

Details recorded in the staff presentation: 23 replacement carports (one existing carport not replaced due to an easement); property located in the North Station area combining district and R3-30 zoning; project treated as a CEQA categorical exemption for replacing existing small structures. The applicant was present at the hearing and did not request additional conditions.

Carmen said the work began shortly after she returned from vacation and that she found no notice to neighbors. She said she looked for permits at the city and county and was told by city staff the project had the required permits; Carmen said staff later told her the activity was authorized by an encroachment permit.

Carmen said the work has damaged her driveway, sidewalk and the brick on the front of her house and that many unfamiliar people have been on the site. She said about three to five trees were reported as mitigated by the project team, but that she believed the number of trees removed was closer to 30 to 50 and that she could not find an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the work. Carmen said she attempted to raise the issue at a city council meeting and then followed up with planning staff and received some staff response but remained concerned.

The zoning administrator did not take immediate action during the public comment period; the matter was presented as a non-agenda comment for the record. Carmen asked for information and said she had submitted written requests to the planner. The transcript records that Carmen had conversations with city staff and that staff referenced an encroachment permit; no formal enforcement action or staff response was recorded on the meeting record beyond her statement that she had requested documents from staff.

Because this was a public comment rather than an agenda item, no vote or formal action was recorded in the hearing on the matter. The record reflects Carmen's request for staff-provided documentation; parties seeking official records or enforcement information should contact the Planning and Economic Development Department for project files and permit records.","A resident, identifying herself as Janice Carmen, told the zoning administrator she discovered clear-cutting on a six-acre property adjacent to her home, said the city cited an encroachment permit, and reported damage to driveway, sidewalk and landscaping and that she found no prior public notice or planning permits in records she checked.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6664698,"Zoning administrator approves reconstruction of Building D at Friends House, neighbors raise drainage and view concerns",927,1318000,2245000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2372273-397950a34667185e77d19cebd687a2d0&start=1318&end=2245","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2372273-397950a34667185e77d19cebd687a2d0/thumbnail_1318000.jpg","/articles/6664698/Santa-Rosa-City/Sonoma-County/California/Zoning-administrator-approves-reconstruction-of-Building-D-at-Friends-House-neighbors-raise-drainage-and-view-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6664698-7c74a6ab3b6e432f43e6e7b5c1af5a5d/orig.mp4?Expires=1775041690&Signature=Fc9AgI3S-vBGXbWzd-nJGSOSJxadztrcATMe2FNWuxk0jf-n6n8r5u9eOagSClivLaIdgHb04iR2iXNuKENSWnws-kfyuNHGvg40qsOn9SKqkrjKNDE6aa138kWr8y4tXOcwlV~2CZJqzKMArvXsxqskTJMpqRL~Fv0nhHaKspQ5kEwRKPFAWr2084vkBxw27Pv9EqZYhq4OrcV5qjSkX~dsVVF5uBY5qbQd3wWHQnpHiuJbSyfizGdhakUmoeJZf8S74uzAhN6rissu1b6A-hugeqOJd4CmyVex-twDzDf4-XXFSXrS27ubn6iEFXZbNkM~0GVNca-QCvYpS6nK4w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Santa Rosa zoning administrator approved a design review permit to demolish and reconstruct Building D at 684 Benicia Drive (Friends House rebuild). The applicant proposes to replace the existing Building D with a similarly sized building containing four two-bedroom units and additional exterior architectural details including roof dormers and siding.

Planning staff said the project is located in a medium-density general plan land-use designation and a Planned Development (PD 0116) zoning district and that the project was determined to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it reconstructs a structure in the same footprint. Staff reported no unresolved issues from internal review but summarized public comments that raised concerns about drainage, flooding, and the building's massing and effect on neighbors' views.

Several nearby residents spoke in opposition or with concerns. Becky and Jeff Wislow, neighbors at 630 Venetia Drive, said the new building would block mountain views and expressed concern that the proposed building covers more square footage at the elevation visible from their property than the existing building. They also raised long-standing concerns about surface drainage and how runoff from Friends House might affect their property. Another public commenter (Janice Carmen) said neighbors' views and previous Coastal Commission complaints over height had been longstanding issues.

The applicant's development manager, Marissa Segala of Rockwood Pacific, said the rebuild is driven by structural and drainage issues that make remodeling infeasible and that the project design was intended to maintain consistency with Friends House's character. Segala said the project team will address drainage on site as part of the rebuild. Staff and the zoning administrator confirmed the proposed building height is within the applicable maximum for the PD district; the transcript and staff referenced the maximum height as 35 feet in the applicable zoning standard.

After public comment and applicant remarks, Zoning Administrator McKay approved the design review on the record. Staff advised the approval is final unless appealed within 10 calendar days; the meeting transcript contains inconsistent references to the appeal deadline (the transcript records both March 3, 2024 and March 3, 2025 at different points). The zoning administrator cited compliance with the zoning height limit and noted the project will proceed with conditions of approval and the applicant will address drainage as part of construction.","The zoning administrator approved demolition and reconstruction of Building D at 684 Benicia Drive to replace a failing building with four two-bedroom units; neighbors objected to drainage risks and potential view impacts, and staff said the proposed height complies with applicable zoning limits.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":42,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6664702,"Zoning administrator approves exterior renovation and continued drive-through for Habit Burger Grill at 2280 Santa Rosa Avenue",799000,1130000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2372273-397950a34667185e77d19cebd687a2d0&start=799&end=1130","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2372273-397950a34667185e77d19cebd687a2d0/thumbnail_799000.jpg","/articles/6664702/Santa-Rosa-City/Sonoma-County/California/Zoning-administrator-approves-exterior-renovation-and-continued-drive-through-for-Habit-Burger-Grill-at-2280-Santa-Rosa-Avenue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6664702-010d2ee4e56d2a40fa0a7f54be29c130/orig.mp4?Expires=1775041690&Signature=DrkWeHC9WhSwbuvhyZfysSyj0vCfaP5-TEoX7y4VYebfbaQ98nkasq8Y6u7ElpYF48057KuSNkqKGSL5o3KlVAoUISViN6-wlkA5wDrCl7OBI83-Tk2ET9rWLm1Kw4GSpsh3E~~d8Jo36xUT9Tj9jrPFKj0T2oPzw428F2r7kc2z4-3yjvi7Mii72VwsSFqia84~0ZgenzuUXA6K5jncPJHNWGXRbrwnm~kfm3Vo~0yrSjcLVa7iC7MO66XPTkWZBOe48sbLeaXEziSyzbCxEGRVIIg2JLTPz93hB2NiHHGA7vLCgHqgBj5-X8HXv5iZyJ4ouC9QxvNw325LKUILNw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Santa Rosa zoning administrator approved a design review permit to renovate the building at 2280 Santa Rosa Avenue for a Habit Burger Grill. Planning staff presented proposed exterior changes including removal of the existing patio canopy, addition of a tower cap and brick veneer detail, expansion of the trash enclosure, and a new patio railing; the project will retain the existing drive-through configuration.

Planning staff reported the site is within a general commercial zoning designation in the Costco shopping-center area and that the project had been reviewed for traffic and environmental effects. Staff said the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a minor alteration to an existing structure and that Transportation and Public Works reviewed the traffic report and raised no concerns; staff reported a two-year accident history review found no problem at the location and recommended no transportation improvements.

The applicant's representative, Matt Clark of Habit Burger, was present and did not request changes. A member of the public, Janice Carmen, asked questions about photographic detail in the staff packet and vehicle circulation through the drive-through; staff described site circulation and said the drive-through functions from the adjacent parking lot area. The planner explained the drive-through access ties into the shopping-center circulation and that ordering and vehicle queuing would occur within the existing drive-through footprint.

Zoning Administrator McKay approved the design review on the record and noted the action is final unless an appeal is filed with the city clerk within 10 calendar days; staff announced March 3, 2024 as the appeal deadline in the transcript. The final conditions of approval and the project plans are available from the Planning and Economic Development Department.","The zoning administrator approved design review for exterior alterations at the former Mountain Mike's site to accommodate Habit Burger Grill, with staff saying the project is categorically exempt under CEQA and the traffic review raised no concerns.","actionData","errors"]
