The City of Santa Rosa is considering two annexation options to incorporate more county land into the city. The first would annex about 1,400 acres south of the city limits from about Bane Avenue in the west to just west of Petaluma Hill Road in the east. That area is twice the size of Roseland and has over 6,500 residents. The second option would annex all unincorporated areas within the city’s urban growth boundary. That would include the area south of Santa Rosa limits, an area around Rincon Valley, land east of Skyhawk and more than 30 county islands across the city. It would include over 3,600 acres and nearly 11,000 residents. Santa Rosa is only at the beginning stages of incorporating either plan which could take years.
