Taylor MountainINITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATIONParkingAlthough not required by CEQA, the adequacy ofthe proposed parking supply in the Master Planwas analyzed to ensure that sufficient parkingwould be provided to meet projected demand.As shown in Table B.3.14-13, in the near-term(prior to completion of the Farmers LaneExtension), it is expected that 124 parkingspaces would be provided and at full buildout ofthe park, 137 parking spaces would be provided.ADA compliant parking will be provided at allstaging areas. Since parking at the Bath-Wattstaging area would be limited to service vehiclesand disabled users with a pre-approved permit,and therefore not available to the generalpublic, its parking supply was not included in thetotal parking supply.Table B.3.14-13. Proposed Parking supply*Location Near-term Full BuildoutKawana Terrace(Interim Staging Area)48 0Petaluma Hill Rd 35 35Kawana SpringsResort24 75Linwood Ave 17 17Farmers Ln 0 10Total 124 137* Parking at Bath-Watt would not be open to the generalpublic and therefore is not included.Additionally, the Petaluma Hill Road, Kawana Springs Resort and Linwood Avenue staging areaswould provide parking for horse trailers, and could be used as overflow parking during peakdemand periods. Considering that a maximum of 141 vehicles are expected to travel to andfrom the Preserve during peak weekend periods, of which 70 trips are expected to be inbound,but 71 would be outbound allowing for turnover, the supply of at least 137 standard parkingspaces plus additional horse trailer and disabled accessible parking is expected to be sufficient.Although not included in the parking inventory, the horse trailer parking areas would help meetthe parking demand and could be used as overflow vehicle parking during peak periods whennot occupied by horse trailers.Final B-120 September 2012

Additionalinformation regarding stormwater drainage is provided in Section B.3.8, Hydrology. The TaylorMountain Preserve property is outside of the City of Santa Rosa’s city limits, urban growthboundary, urban services boundary and Sphere of Influence (SOI). The northern propertyboundary abuts the urban services, urban growth and SOI boundaries. Because the majority ofthe property is outside of the urban services area, it is not served by public services (e.g., watersupply, sewer hookup and stormwater infrastructure). The northern section of property off ofPanorama Drive (Bath-Watt parcel) and the Linwood Avenue parcel are within the City’s UrbanServices area, but there is no plan to pursue City services in these locations. The property hasonsite springs and wells. The existing residence is served by a springs and septic system. Theexisting portable toilet that serves recreational visitors is serviced by the Regional ParksDepartment.On the Sonoma County groundwater availability map (Sonoma County, 2004), the entireproperty is shown as Zone 3 – limited groundwater area. However, given the presence ofsprings and a well on the property, and existing and historic use of the onsite aquifer fordomestic and commercial purposes, there are likely areas within the 1,100 acres that havegroundwater potential for additional well development. As described in the hydrology section,the aquifer appears to be shallow, as indicated by springs and associated wetlands on theproperty.September 2012 B-121 Final
