Tierra de Rosas Public Plaza

Tierra de Rosas Public Plaza

The City of Santa Rosa evaluated the project to determine consistency with the Roseland Area / Sebastopol Road Specific Plan EIR. The project includes an 1.01 acre outdoor privately maintained, public gathering place, which is part of a master development for the Tierra de Rosas project. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, the Project was determined to be exempt from further review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15183, in that: a. The Project will support mixed commercial, institutional and residential uses at the intensity called for by the Roseland Area/Sebastopol Road Specific Plan. b. There are no project specific effects which are peculiar to the Project or its site, and which the General Plan or Specific Plan EIRs failed to analyze as significant effects. The subject property is no different than other properties in the surrounding area, and there are no Project specific effects which are peculiar to the Project or its site. The project site is located in an area developed with commercial, institutional, and residential uses. The property does not support any peculiar environmental features, and the Project would not result in any peculiar effects. In addition, all Project impacts were adequately analyzed by the specific plan and general plan EIR. c. There are no potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts which the General Plan or Specific Plan EIRs failed to evaluate. The proposed Project is consistent with the use characteristics of the development considered by the General Plan or Specific Plan EIRs. The General Plan or Specific Plan EIRs considered the incremental impacts of the future development, such as the Project and planned Roseland Village project, and no potentially significant off-site or cumulative impacts have been identified which were not previously evaluated. d. There is no substantial new information which results in more severe impacts than anticipated by the General Plan or Specific Plan EIRs. No new information has been identified which would result in a determination of a more severe impact than what had been anticipated by the General Plan or Specific Plan EIRs. e. The project will undertake feasible mitigation measures specified in the General Plan or Specific Plan EIRs. The mitigation measures will be undertaken through Project design, compliance with regulations and ordinances, or through the Project’s conditions of approval. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15182, the density, design, and infrastructure planned under the proposed Project is consistent with the adopted Specific Plan in that the level and intensity of the proposed developments and the locations of the developments are consistent with the Specific Plan. No special circumstances or potential new impacts related to the Project has been identified that would necessitate further environmental review beyond the impacts and issues already disclosed and analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR. The Specific Plan EIR adequately addressed environmental issues related to the development of the entire Specific Plan area, including the subject property.
