Santa Rosa’s Decision to Allow Duplexes, Small Apartments in Single-Family Neighborhoods Sparks Controversy
The Santa Rosa City Council has approved sweeping zoning changes allowing duplexes and small apartment buildings on nearly 2,000 properties previously zoned for single-family homes. This move aims to expand housing options in the city, particularly for working-class residents, young families, and older adults. The changes will not immediately lead to construction but will allow the city to plan for future growth. The new zoning will include development standards to maintain the character of neighborhoods, with projects meeting these standards allowed by right. The council also approved other zoning changes to align with the General Plan 2050, including streamlining permits for certain types of housing and economic development projects.
