Staff presented the proposal as a new 13,925-square-foot metal building with 14 commercial vehicle service bays, a fluids room, break room, bathrooms and a small office. Staff said the site is currently a parking lot for the dealership and that the commercial service facility would be dedicated to large trucks rather than the general public. The proposed hours were stated as 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; staff estimated about 14 employees.

The project is located in a Light Industrial zoning district and within the Roseland Area Sebastopol Road Specific Plan boundary; staff said the general plan designation is Light Industry. Staff also said the project is statutorily exempt from CEQA. A major design-review hearing for the building was scheduled for the Design Review and Preservation Board later that afternoon.

An applicant representative thanked staff for coordination and described the project as a partnership between Ford Motor Company and Hansel Ford to provide commercial service locally. The zoning administrator asked about site access; staff and the applicant said primary access would be from Corby Avenue through the dealership property and that an existing curb cut on Wilgen Court would remain gated and used for emergency access only.

No members of the public were present in the hearing room for this item. The zoning administrator said the use is appropriate in the zoning district and signed the resolution approving the minor conditional use permit. She noted environmental compliance conditions are included in the resolution and reminded listeners that the action is final unless appealed to the Planning and Economic Development Department within 10 calendar days under zoning code section 20-62.030; the date given was Monday, Aug. 18, 2025.

The applicant will present the major design-review application before the Design Review and Preservation Board later in the day for architectural review and final design approvals required by the specific plan and zoning.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Santa Rosa Zoning Administrator Meeting - August 7, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A minor conditional use permit was approved for a new 13,925-square-foot Hansel Ford service building for commercial trucks at Wilgen Court, including 14 service bays; the project will go before the Design Review and Preservation Board for major design review later the same day.","taxTitle","Santa Rosa City, Sonoma County, California","taxId",3913,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6485873,"Zoning administrator signs off on new lobby building and landscaping at 3555 Round Barn Boulevard",324,800000,1124000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5548742-4f72ca2ff7fecad0fbf25560f701243d&start=800&end=1124","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5548742-4f72ca2ff7fecad0fbf25560f701243d/thumbnail_800000.jpg","/articles/6485873/Santa-Rosa-City/Sonoma-County/California/Zoning-administrator-signs-off-on-new-lobby-building-and-landscaping-at-3555-Round-Barn-Boulevard","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6485873-ab895914642da7d10e75416a8a476f32/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189622&Signature=Dg6Z-QqmWeXZK3n0QLPEqPithlyDW1E2JZVQimGdfSdOco9yrhbxZAqtlKEjqpWLoGYnHi3zrvYIjViBJNKCAxu0T259IFtOq5lcEg-d7eXm98HpsM4MBx98quohMMZhHkEoFQAnI55VUuvirPV-ZC23CtFA4EOK~Irq7LRZQ31ySmCUSg0hXsf3AOAq~ZB-KfN27TDtYABDhGQgcYmVXEIWtImRoVT5VPwcEj20u6T3GrksSFfn3UDU3BgEOk5PZX0qRWniL3IejXCtfcf1oIbekBp1xRvXbLMwICk2RI1KQx9DM36qnG5HErzyK3Bec3rHk9GwIPZcbYWP8jhoYg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The zoning administrator approved a minor design review permit on Aug. 8, 2025, to allow construction of a new lobby building with landscaping at 3555 Round Barn Boulevard, a property that was substantially damaged in the Tubbs fire and is now being rebuilt.

Planning staff said the project consists of a replacement lobby structure and associated landscaping and that it is located in a Planned Development zoning district with a General Plan designation of Retail and Business Services. The project was found categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as a replacement structure of substantially the same size, purpose and capacity.

Project lead Suzanne Hartman described site conditions and project details, including two entry points from the main road and an existing fire lane that will remain for emergency use. \"The zoning district is planned development or PD for short, which is a zoning district that implements general plan goals through specific site developments,\" Hartman said. She also noted conditions of approval requiring continuous maintenance of landscaping.

The applicant architect, Adrianna Cook of Aris Studio Architects, addressed neighbors’ concerns about materials and fire safety. \"The wood siding is an impregnated fire retardant over DensGlass, so it is a 1 hour wall. It is a class B cladding,\" Cook said, adding that the materials are selected with wildland-urban-interface fire risk in mind and that landscaping will be maintained with defensible-space practices.

Staff reported that public comments on the agenda raised questions about whether the existing fire lane is still in use, proposed building materials, and whether dead or dying vegetation had been removed; staff said the fire lane is existing and remains available for emergency access and that landscaping maintenance is required by condition.

Zoning Administrator Amy Nicholson said the design review findings could be met under the proposed design and conditions and signed the resolution of approval. She reiterated that the decision is final unless appealed to the Planning and Economic Development Department within 10 calendar days under zoning code section 20-62.030; the date given for appeals on this item was Monday, Aug. 18, 2025.

No members of the public spoke in the hearing room on this item. The project will be subject to the listed conditions of approval, including ongoing landscape maintenance and requirements tied to defensible space.","A minor design review permit was approved for a replacement lobby building and landscape improvements at 3555 Round Barn Boulevard; applicants emphasized fire-resistant materials and ongoing landscape maintenance in a site rebuilt after the Tubbs fire.",{"_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},6485878,"Zoning administrator approves Art House mixed-use permit at 620 Seventh Street",434,292000,726000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5548742-4f72ca2ff7fecad0fbf25560f701243d&start=292&end=726","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5548742-4f72ca2ff7fecad0fbf25560f701243d/thumbnail_292000.jpg","/articles/6485878/Santa-Rosa-City/Sonoma-County/California/Zoning-administrator-approves-Art-House-mixed-use-permit-at-620-Seventh-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6485878-a93b68d6f2aacd7053edd0fea234b55f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189622&Signature=JPXkriar2omjuGDjLUCcNqf-3hyc6ojW~fNLWi49cIViOc~udbnjaa1xaxZLXSfwSJc4~qwtw3Ev63zqeTv142r~rcf4retoTpHLJY~x4acIypMR4KOUSmdZwYG8GMEvUAH9ZGai~BosdHcc5ErKPDu2OvfuR2WFe3nXVeDJe-cFtHIbm-CFPWPSGpqrP-d~XXEKdHXrZ7aJ7mC-Ntt4uC-E~vY~4vkJLRZ2qGD8g77M~GWxi6dLbJtgggjDD~RAPOgpFKA5QDRQN5dibf-z~8hd-SJXpL5WDhIDtM6OG-oFJhVDS4F4wcEVo5Pq8T98Z1vjpIvJ9CR0zcCTvu7hFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Santa Rosa zoning administrator approved a minor conditional use permit on Aug. 8, 2025, allowing a mixed-use project called the Art House at 620 Seventh Street to operate with hotel and residential units.

Staff presented the project as a change of use from a previously approved multifamily development. \"So the project before you this morning, zoning administrator Nicholson, is the Art House, mixed use hotel and residential. It's located at 620 Seventh Street,\" the planner said. Staff said the project consists of 22 units — 12 designated for hotel use and 10 for longer-term residential occupancy — and that the proposal is consistent with the city's Core Mixed Use land-use designation.

The planning and economic development department recommended approval, concluding the project qualifies as infill development and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. Staff told the zoning administrator all required findings could be made and that the applicant had agreed to the conditions of approval.

The applicant attending the hearing noted two clarifications for the record: that the zone would ordinarily permit the uses but a minor conditional use permit is triggered because the site is adjacent to a residentially zoned property across Seventh Street; and that the final resolution contained an inconsequential error referencing maintenance of street trees on Humboldt Street, a frontage the property does not have. \"There is an error, but it is inconsequential in the final condition on the resolution. It calls out, our obligation in this project for maintaining the street trees on Humboldt Street. The property actually has no frontage on Humboldt Street,\" the applicant said, and asked to follow up with staff to correct the condition.

Zoning Administrator Amy Nicholson said she would accept a follow-up correction to the condition and signed the resolution of approval after concluding that the findings could be met. She noted the action is final unless an appeal is filed with the Planning and Economic Development Department within 10 calendar days pursuant to zoning code section 20-62.030; for this item, the appeal deadline was stated as Monday, Aug. 18, 2025.

No public speakers were present in the hearing room on this item, and staff said the department had received some written comments (including favorable comments and some questions about taxes and short-term rentals), which staff considered not applicable to the land-use decision and better directed to other agencies. The applicant also clarified there was no public investment or affordability requirement associated with this project, contrary to one commenter’s assertion.

The resolution of approval and the clarified condition on street-tree maintenance will be finalized in the record; the zoning administrator signed the resolution pending that correction.","The Santa Rosa zoning administrator granted a minor conditional use permit allowing a 22-unit mixed-use project at 620 Seventh Street with 12 hotel units and 10 long-term residential units; staff and the applicant will correct a condition that mistakenly refers to Humboldt Street.","actionData","errors"]
