Document Description
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.
