Development.
Mitigation Measure 3.7-2: Comply with all applicable
state and local regulations, including Community
Care state licensing requirements, for handling of
medical wastes and other hazardous materials.
Impact 3.7-2: Operation of the Project would require the storage, use, and transport of
hazardous or biomedical materials.

Project
Applicant.
Compliance with these regulations would reduce impacts
to a less than significant level.
Postconstruction.
The purpose of the Project’s Care Center is to provide services specifically for patients with
Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia. The Care Center operates as a residential
care/assisted living facility and is not licensed to provide skilled nursing services, such as
giving injections, maintaining catheters, or doing colostomy care for residents. Residents
needing medical attention would be treated at the nearby hospital or, if they require skilled
nursing care, would be transferred to an appropriate facility.
State of
California
(Community
Care Licensing).
The operation of the care facility would not require the storage, use, and transport of
biomedical materials. The Proposed Care Center would not be generating medical waste as
defined by the California Medical Waste Act including, for example, used needles or blood or
tissue samples. The facility would meet all licensing and permitting requirements set forth by
the Community Care Licensing Division of the California Department of Social Services
(State Licensing).
Expired or leftover pharmaceuticals would be disposed of in an appropriate fashion according
to Sonoma County Waste Management Agency policies. There would be no liquid oxygen
used onsite; however, nonliquid oxygen may be used if prescribed by a physician for a
respiratory condition. Nonliquid oxygen would be used in such cases under the preapproval
of state licensing with notification to the local fire authority. Emergency generators would not
be used onsite. Safety equipment would be on battery backup per Uniform Building Codes,
which is accepted by state licensing. Minimum quantities of customary pool, laundry,
housekeeping, and kitchen maintenance cleaning supplies would be stored in locked
cabinets or rooms onsite. Fencing, required signage, and secured storage for cleaning
materials would be provided. Vehicle maintenance would not be performed onsite.
Vegetation Management Plan.
Prior to issuance
of grading permit.
Impact 3.7-3: The Project would expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss,
injury, or death involving wildland fires.

Mitigation Measure 3.7-3: Comply with all applicable
State and local regulations, including Santa Rosa Fire
Department requirements, for fire safety.
Prior to approval
of the
Improvement
Plan.
The Project applicant will submit a Vegetation
Management Plan to the Santa Rosa Fire Department for
approval before obtaining a grading permit. The plan will
specifically address proposed buffer zones and fire breaks
within the property and shall comply with Uniform Fire
Code and state requirements for vegetation management.
In addition, all units shall have approved fire sprinkler
systems.
The City has building code and fire code regulations relating to construction and fire
protective measures in areas identified as Very High Fire Severity Zone, which applies to the
Project site, which is in the Montecity Heights Very High Fire Severity Zone. In addition,
Chapter 7A of the California Building Code includes requirements for those areas considered
to be within the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area in accordance with Public Resources
Code, Section 4201 through 4204, and Government Code, Sections 51175 through 51189.
Much of the area is developed with urban uses and adjacent structures are constructed using
fire resistant materials. To further minimize fire risk, proposed structures onsite would be
designed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. For example, site buildings
would be equipped with fire suppression sprinklers in accordance with state licensing
requirements. Building design would be required to include smoke barriers and 2-hour
separation walls and doors. The Project site would include buffers and firebreaks.

Health Division.
Mitigation Measure 3.7-5: Submit plans and
specifications to the Environmental Health Division
for review and approval.
Impact 3.7-5: Operation of the Project could subject its residents to hazards inherent in
facility design.
Review by the Environmental Health Division will promote
incorporation of appropriate safety provisions in the
Project.
Before the issuance of any building permits and the start of any construction, plans and
specifications for any proposed swimming pool or spa would be submitted to the
Environmental Health Division of the Health Services Department for approval. Review of the
permit application by this agency would include safety provisions—if not already included in
the design—for the pool or spa, restrooms, showers, equipment rooms, cleaning supply
rooms, and fences.
