City of Santa Rosa Zoning Administrator 6-4-26

The City of Santa Rosa Zoning Administrator held a special meeting on June 4, 2026, to review a minor design review application for the expansion of the Children's Museum of Sonoma County located at 1835 West Steel Lane. The project involves constructing a new 7,272 square foot two-story museum building, a 336 square foot maker space, and associated outdoor landscaping improvements. The existing single-story museum building will be demolished. The project complies with the city's general plan and zoning requirements, preserves all existing trees, and is categorically exempt from environmental review. The zoning administrator expressed strong support for the project, noting its community benefits and sustainability features, and approved the design review without additional conditions. No public comments were received during the meeting.
