City of Santa Rosa

Specific Plan Implementation

M-Group staff worked with City staff to amend the City’s Zoning Code to create a new zoning district for the Railroad Square area immediately surrounding the downtown train station. The new zoning district was developed to implement the Specific Plan while including particular sensitivity in order to facilitate compatible development in Santa Rosa’s historic downtown.

Zoning Code updates also included development of an expanded discussion of the significance and defining features for each of Santa Rosa’s six historic districts located within the plan area boundaries.
