The Rotten Robbie gas station on Healdsburg Avenue. On April 19, Sebastopol became the third city in the county to ban the development of new gas stations. (Petaluma and Rohnert Park beat us to it.) The ordinance also forbids existing gas stations from adding new fossil-fuel-based infrastructure (aka gas pumps), but left the door open for them to add renewable equipment, such as charging stations. While the ban forbids expansion of the fossil fuel infrastructure at existing stations, it allows them to replace existing equipment as needed.
