City of Santa Rosa Zoning Administrator 8-13-26

The City of Santa Rosa Zoning Administrator held a meeting on August 13, 2026, to review and approve two minor conditional use permits. The first was for the expansion of an existing residential care facility for the elderly at 2364 Melbrook Way, increasing capacity from six to nine residents with the addition of three new bedrooms. The project complied with zoning and development standards, and staff recommended approval, which was granted without further conditions. The second item was a minor conditional use permit and design review for a drive-thru coffee shop at 2249 Santa Rosa Avenue, involving modifications to the existing building, reconfiguration of the drive-thru lane, and extended hours of operation. The applicant agreed to a condition to accommodate bicycle and pedestrian service, enhancing multimodal access. Both projects received no public opposition, and the zoning administrator approved them with conditions as applicable. No specific contract awards or budget allocations were discussed.
