10 de Noviembre - Reunión del Concejo Municipal de Santa Rosa

Santa Rosa City Council meeting, November 10, 2026 (as identified by the meeting title; metadata gives November 11 UTC). The Council discussed California Senate Bill 10 and possible zoning changes to allow up to 10 homes on eligible residential parcels. Staff described potential infrastructure, fire, flood, affordability, and workload considerations, and estimated that substantial work could not begin until summer 2027; the state deadline for adoption is January 1, 2029. Council members generally favored further analysis, with interest in a targeted approach focused on areas such as transit corridors and the downtown, rather than citywide implementation. Staff was asked to return with options and additional detail. Consultant support and shared resources with nearby jurisdictions were mentioned as possibilities, but no consulting expenditure or other procurement action was approved.

The Council also adopted the 2026 multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and Santa Rosa annex, unanimously according to the transcript. Staff said plan adoption is required for eligibility for certain FEMA hazard-mitigation grants and supports capital improvement projects; the city annex includes 28 mitigation actions. The Council heard proposals for a staff policy and ordinance amendment concerning city cooperation with immigration authorities, but no vote on those proposals is evident in the transcript. No contract awards, vendor selections, or bid approvals were identified.
