COMMUNITY OVERVIEW. The City is located approximately 55 miles north of San Francisco and 20 air miles from the Pacific Ocean and is considered part of the North Bay region of California in Sonoma County. It covers almost 42 square miles and lies on the Santa ▇▇▇▇ Plain within the Laguna de Santa ▇▇▇▇ watershed, a major tributary of the Russian River Watershed. Prominent terrain features east of the city include ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Peak, Mount Hood, and Sonoma and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mountains. Santa ▇▇▇▇ is a desirable place to live with its warm climate, redwood trees, rolling hills, beautiful scenery, and location as part of California’s wine country. It features state, county and city parks with diverse recreational opportunities, urban creeks, open vistas of the Mayacamas Mountains, all while supporting a vibrant agricultural economy featuring vineyards and wineries. Its thriving downtown includes three distinct shopping districts, five historic neighborhoods, art galleries, restaurants, wine tasting rooms, and brew pubs. There are currently eight designated Preservation Districts in Santa ▇▇▇▇ including Burbank Gardens, Cherry Street, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ Park, Railroad Square, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, St. ▇▇▇▇, and West End Street. The Project Area is approximately a 2-mile radius from several nodes around the City's administrative boundary, however, the western side of the community is not addressed in this Plan as per SRFD (see Figure 2, Project Area Map).
