APA Northern California Chapter Award, 2001 “Because of a lot of hard work by people who refused to allow their disagreements to keep them from focusing on their mutual concern for their community, Rohnert Park is moving toward a consensus on what the city's future should be. … The Rohnert Park General Plan is a breakthrough.” Press Democrat, June 15, 1999 “The General Plan took two years of hard work … Measure N is unique for its wide array of endorsers, including the Greenbelt Alliance, the Rohnert Park Chamber of Commerce, and the Sierra Club.” Press Democrat November 4, 2000 Dyett & Bhatia prepared a General Plan for the City that was adopted in Fall 2000, breaking a seven-year planning deadlock, and winning endorsement from the development and the environmental communities; the proposed Urban Growth Boundary was affirmed by 73 percent of the voters in the November 2000 elections. The Plan marks a departure from the City’s current master-planned community pattern, promoting: greater integration between the City and Sonoma State University with a new high-intensity pedestrian-oriented University District with a mix of uses linking the campus with the community; balanced neighborhoods; increased connectivity and accessibility; and a network of open spaces along an armature of creeks. In 2008, the City embarked on a technical update of their 2000 General Plan, and again hired D&B to do the job. Notably, this update includes a new Sustainability Element and a Housing Element Update, both now well underway. See the General Plan at the City of Rohnert Park website. |
