City of Santa Rosa Design Review and Preservation Board 6-4-26

The City of Santa Rosa Design Review and Preservation Board held a meeting on June 4, 2026, focusing primarily on design review and preservation matters. Key procurement-related discussions centered on the major design review approval for the Stonehouse Hotel project located at 3331 and 3555 Highway 12. The board reviewed architectural plans, site layout, landscaping, and materials, with presentations from city staff and the applicant's architect. Public comments included both support and concerns regarding traffic, noise, and neighborhood impact. The board discussed conditions related to construction materials, including requiring a concrete sound wall with a high sound transmission class rating and specifying a non-white, non-reflective TPO roofing material. The board voted to approve the design review with these conditions as friendly amendments. Additionally, the board received a detailed presentation on the city asset naming and renaming policy, outlining a new standardized, community-driven process for naming city assets, which could impact future procurement and project naming opportunities.
