Santero Way Specific Plan Update

Santero Way Specific Plan Update

The City of Cotati is preparing an update to the Santero Way Specific Plan (SWSP) to update land use designations and realize the vision of a residentially focused transit-oriented neighborhood, within walking distance to the Cotati SMART Station, that also allows for mixed-use and neighborhood-serving retail development, community-serving uses, and transit-serving uses. The designated land uses will be linked to design standards and guidelines and establish a planning framework to facilitate and guide future development. Anticipated plan changes include 1) potential expansion of the plan boundary to add one or more parcels up to 4 acres; 2) potential rezoning of up to nine parcels up to 15 acres outside the Plan Area, but within 0.5 mile of the Cotati SMART Station; 3) development standards and design guidelines to ensure compatibility with existing land uses and project objectives. Rezoning would occur on 12 parcels to allow between 25-35 dwelling units per acre, and a floor area ratio (FAR) of at least 1.0 for commercial development. A total of 769 residential units and 651,365 square feet of commercial development would be allowed in the project area with the proposed project.
