of the City of Petaluma, California
ESTABLISHING 1990 DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES
WHEREAS, the City's Growth Management System requires the City Council
to set Development Objectives each year for applicable new residential
projects; and,
WHEREAS, the purpose of Development Objectives is to pro-actively inform
the development community of the City's expectations for new residential
projects subject to the growth management system; and,
WHEREAS, the Development Objectives are advisory and not binding on any
project; however, a project's compliance with said Development Objectives
may be used by the City Council as a means of determining the number of
allocations a project may receive in years when the demand for allocations
exceeds their availability: and,
WHEREAS, the Development Objectives are not intended to supercede the
policies of the .Petaluma General Plan, and. that all residential projects are
expected from the outset to satisfy those policies applicable to the project.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Petaluma City Council hereby
sets the following Development Objectives for the 1990 Calendar year:
1. Alternative housing projects such as modular or self-help cooperatives
are encouraged.
2. Joint development of adjoining smaller parcels is encouraged when it
will result in a better overall project design.
3. Projects in newly developing areas (i.e., not infill projects) in the
Urban Diversified (up to 10 du/ac) or Urban High (up to 15 du/ac)
General Plan land use categories should provide private open space,
recreation facilities or public open space maintained by a landscape
assessment district for the benefit of its residents when dedicated
public recreation facilities are not required as a condition of approval.
4. Maintain an average Eastside/Westside development ratio of 65 percent
and 35 percent, respectively, over a three (3) year period.

5. Increase the stock of multi-family housing in newly developing areas
where permitted by the General Plan.
6. Work with affected school districts to ease potential impacts resulting
from new development.
7. Maintain the integrity of the Urban High and Urban Diversified land
use categories in newly developing areas by requiring that development
projects on sites with those designations have an overall density of not
less than 67% of the maximum allowable General Plan density.
8. Public sidewalks in new residential developments shall be designed to
meander and undulate along the street.
9. Developers are encouraged to provide some portion of their commitment
to affordable housing in the form of on-site units instead of in-lieu
fees. The number of units provided on-site should be consistent with
Program 12 of the Housing Chapter of the General Plan; however,
projects providing less than the minimum percentage will also be
expected to pay a balance of in-lieu fees to fulfill their obligation.
