Cotati Downtown Specific Plan
City of Cotati
Cotati, California June 2005 to present
As part of a team including Moule & Polyzoides Architects and Urbanists, and Crawford, Multari & Clark,
Strategic Economics is providing market and fiscal analysis for the Downtown Cotati Specific Plan. The City of
Cotati sits midway between Santa Rosa and Petaluma, Sonoma County's largest cities and the area's major
centers for commercial activity. The retail market assessment studied the potential for Cotati to reduce its retail
leakage to these larger commercial centers by repositioning its downtown as a destination for neighborhood
commerce. The consultant team is recommending that the City of Cotati also enhance its unique musical and
progressive culture to ultimately make Downtown Cotati a tourist destination of its own. This work has involved
regular meetings with city staff. The specific plan is currently in administrative review.
