Скачать или смотреть Santa Rosa’s Oldest Building & a 162-Unit Housing Proposal | Carrillo Adobe Explained

Santa Rosa’s oldest building, the Carrillo Adobe, is finally getting attention - because a 162-unit townhome project is being proposed around it.

The project comes from Swenson, a major Bay Area infill developer known for large, complex urban sites. Their concept places 23 three-story buildings on about 10.7 acres, while the remaining land - including the Adobe - would become a dedicated Adobe Park.

From a planning standpoint, the proposal does fit Santa Rosa’s General Plan, with density landing right in the city’s allowed range. It’s infill housing, near transit, and aligned with state housing goals.

But here’s where it gets complicated.

Because the Carrillo Adobe is a protected historic resource, and the site includes Native American archaeological layers and Santa Rosa Creek, this project will almost certainly require a full Environmental Impact Report (EIR) under CEQA.

That means detailed analysis of:

Historic preservation

Creek and riparian impacts

Traffic

Noise and vibration

Tribal consultation

Best case?
The Adobe is finally restored, protected, and opened to the public - for the first time in decades - while adding housing during a shortage.

Worst case?
A long, contentious debate over density, traffic, and preservation.

Let me know what you think - is this the right place for new housing, or should the Adobe stay untouched?
