City of Santa Rosa Zoning Administrator 9-10-26

The City of Santa Rosa Zoning Administrator held a meeting on September 10, 2026, to review a minor design review permit application for a new drive-thru restaurant at 131 College Avenue. The project includes site improvements such as nine vehicle parking spaces, one bicycle parking space, landscaping, lighting, a six-foot high concrete panel sound wall, and preservation of six heritage coast redwood trees. Staff confirmed the project complies with relevant California Environmental Quality Act guidelines and that traffic impacts were assessed and found not to negatively affect local traffic operations. After no public comments were received, the zoning administrator approved the project, noting the redevelopment of a long-vacant site and the preservation efforts. The decision is final unless appealed within 10 calendar days.
