A split Rohnert Park City Council on Wednesday approved a $1 billion Codding Enterprises’
housing and commercial project that has been hailed as a model for environmentally
responsible development.

It is to be developed on a 175-acre site that formerly housed the Hewlett-Packard and
Agilent manufacturing campus, on the city’s southern edge.

The project is “exactly what we need in terms of stimulating economic development in this
city,” Councilman Jake Mackenzie said of the project, called Sonoma Mountain Village.
Mackenzie, Mayor Pam Stafford and Vice-Mayor Gina Belforte voted to approve a general
plan amendment changing the designation of the area from limited industrial to mixed use,
which allowed the project to proceed.

On that key vote councilmembers Amie Breeze and Joe Callinan — who voted to approve the
project’s environmental impact report — voted no.
They argued, respectively, that that the project was wrong for Rohnert Park, would strip the
city of land that could be used for industrial development and proposed too many
residences.

The development would add 1,694 residential units, from apartments to single family homes,
to the city and with them a projected 4,400 residents by 2022. It also foresees 825,000
square feet of commercial, retail and office space.

Callinan said the project “has great potential” but would add too many new residences. “My
gut is just telling me that it’s too many houses,” he said.
