RESOLUTION DENYING APPEAL OF PLANNING
COMMISSION DENIAL bF REDWOOD PLAZA SHOPPING CENTER
WHEREAS, Olga Lucas requested approval of a use permit to allow
13,000 sq.ft:. of shopping center buildings plus a fast food restaurant, to
be called Redwood Plaza., located on 1.6 vacant acres at 5310 Old Redwood
Highway, Sonoma County Assessor's Parcel No. 137-010-79; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered this application during
public hearings on March 24, April 14 and. May 12, 1987, at which time the
application was denied due to placement of the fast food restaurant near Old
Redwood Highway which was inappropriate in terms of traffic circulation and
creating a strip commercial effect along this road; and
WHEREAS, the applicant appealed this decision in accordance with
applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the appeal was considered by the :City Council on June 29,
1987, during which time public testimony both written and verbal prior to
the Council rendering its decision;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that based on the evidence
:presented and the recommendation of~ the Planning Commission, the City
Council. of the City of Petaluma hereby adopts the following findings:
1. The proposal did ~ not provide for satisfactory. location of the fast
food pad site, nor development compatibility with adjacenf
par.ceis.
2. The project as proposed has potential adverse effects that are
cumulatively considerable because of the "strip commercial" nature
of the project design and the. resultant traffic and aesthetic
problems it entails, particularly from the location of the fast food
restaurant.
3. The proposed site design was considered pursuant to Zoning
Ordinance Section. 21-300 and was found to be detrimental to the
community's health and welfare with regard to siting of the fast
food restaurant building, relation of buildings with regard to
adjoining uses, the activity level in relation to existing adjacent
uses, and the creation of an apparent strip commercial area along
two busy thoroughfares rather than an integrated shopping
center.
4. Mitigation measures suggested by the Planning Commission were
not adequately incorporated into the site design.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Petaluma denies, without prejudice, the appeal of Olga Lucas,
thereby upholding the Planning Commission's decision.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that it is the direction
of the City Council per majority consensus that if a use permit is granted
for a shopping center and fast food restaurant on the subject parcel
pursuant to subsequent application that:
1. the fast food restaurant be located away from Old Redwood
Highway in the rear half of the site,
2. the amount of on-site parking be adequate for all proposed uses,
and
3. the design of the proposed median island in Old Redwood Highway
be reviewed by the City Engineer who shall consider all future
development in the area when approving its design.
