Santa Rosa General Plan and EIR

Dyett & Bhatia prepared a new General Plan for the Bay Area’s fourth-largest city, located in Sonoma County. The major challenges addressed included preparing a Plan to foster a “livable city”, promoting downtown-centered growth, and the amount and character of infill development.

Alternatives examined as part of the General Plan included a neighborhood-oriented development pattern, that would maximize accessibility and a “hub and spoke” form, with development clustered in infill locations along major arterials leading to downtown.
