Position Papers
Rohnert Park's General Plan and update process
Rohnert Park has been in a General Plan update process for over ten years (ever since the Harvey Bell/Sierra Club lawsuit in 1990 that legally criticized the General Plan. The biggest problem with the General Plan processes have been the blatant ommission of the citizens in the process and discussion of issues. The current General Plan is yet another example - in spite of what our Mayor claims has been an open invitation to the public.
