The City of Santa Rosa’s Planning & Economic Development Department’s over-the-counter review is now accessible starting at 8:30 a.m. to address a desire for earlier access to the front counter.  This expansion effort, using existing resources, has provided some immediate relief to customers through reduced wait time averages.

We will continue to monitor the impact to our customers, compared with our baseline data, and are reaching out to customers, both residential and commercial/developers, through a survey to understand where additional hours of operation will have the largest and most beneficial impact.

To better understand our community’s broader service counter access needs, and so that we may begin strategically planning according to those needs, the Planning & Economic Development Department asks for your feedback.  In addition to filling out the survey, please share this link widely, as it’s open to anyone who does business with the department, whether personal or business, local or not local.

Member in need of new home

Pacific Coast Cutters had a fire at their shop on July 1, and thankfully no one was injured, but due to the damage to the building they need to relocate. They would like to find a permanent new home with more space than they currently have but are open to a short term lease as they would like to vacate the building so repairs can begin. Currently they are leasing approximately 500 sq ft of office, 2000 sq ft of shop & indoor storage space and 6500 sq ft of outdoor storage space. Like most members of the ECA the shop area would be used to repair vehicles and equipment, indoor storage area for housing saws, blades and hand tools and the outdoor storage or yard to park utility trucks, compressors & generators. Pacific Coast Cutters have been at their current location since 1991 and although the Petaluma area would be preferred they are looking at all possibilities.

If you know of a location that they could move to contact Cathy Stallman at 707-974-5810 or via email at pcc@sonic.net or pcc@pacificcoastcutters.com.
