I am licensed and practice: as a Civil Engineer. 'I arii passionate about civic improvements and urban planning. I Understand zoning codes, and how they apply to deVelopment. I have liyed- in a variety of vibrant communities and have seen aspects of development that work and those that do not . I hd\re, strong reasoning skills for considering impacts to the, corrirminity.

Imagine:yourself as a visitor t&Petaluma'?zWhat do you see physically economically and environmentally as Lyou.walk,around-.town? .:!4 �E�3;. !�'.�� v _ .. ,-. a �:�+ ,. � t.k 1 nix �. I see a strong and vibrant core which is pedestrian friendly-and with few, vacant store fronts. I. see aesthetically pleasant west side neighborhoods. I• see an under-utilized river frontage with decaying- railroad trestle. I see a heavily car oriented east side of town. I see the City's flag ship park Lucchesi overrun with geese, and housing an under-used community center. that is awkwardly designed and poorly located for serving the Community i see north south traffic routes which 'are efficient while east west traffic are slow and congested. I- see under-utilized land ih central Petaluma. I see opportunities for infill with the downtown core and extending north and south along Petaluma Boulevard. I see`,a beautiful surrounding environment including preserved hilltops. The General Plan;(Plan) is the guiding document and vision forSthe Gty " How would you interpret the polices and goals articulated in the plane How flexible would you be;and would;you feel comfortable not approving!, `specific land uses allowed•in'.tFie Plana ;`� 7HU . . . ., ;. . . ; ti °" , .. ,�_, +ri�: s" : .. . . I would review the proposed'development or planning issue and consider how it relates to the general plan's intent (IS guiding principles) , and explicit direction. I would review pertinent zoning code sections and specific plans.. I would consider the input of the public and the thoughts of the other members of the board and City Staff. Based on these inputs I would form my interpretation. I am a relatively literal thinker, I value and rely upon documented guidelines. I also value hearing disparate opinions and having, debates when considering decisions. I understand that in Petaluma the planning commission is an ,advisory board and we would not be approving or denying land uses. we would be making recommendations to City Council. In.this ;capacity I cam:see that the flexibility required' to make� a responsible recommendation may vary greatly depending on the issue'. I don't `believe it is the commissions role to recommend against land uses that are allowed by the general plan unless they violate:' other,planning- requirements, such..as zoning- code. However, I would. be comfortable making unpopular decisions if, SI believe them to be the responsible recommendation :on an issue. Page,2 > °;The growth management system has been an element of the`developrrient process !n Petaluma:since 1972. and an Urban Growih,Boundarywar adopted in 1998 to control the physical growth ofrPetaluma. With these (two major;policies^in m nd and given the pressure for ongoing growthrd unng the next decaderor so,what two or three+policies and programs'.would you promote to protect the�h!stonc 5cultural and+physical aspects.of. I would promote increasing :density, with multi-story mixed use pedestrian friendly development, in the vicinity of central Petaluma and infill development in downtown that complements the, historic atmosphere of the neighborhood. I vould promote walk-able and bike-able destinations at strategic locations on the east side to 'help those neighborhoods reduce their reliance onIcars for basic services . This could include zoning that allows for coffee Shops, delis, or neighborhood grocers . Similar, to the findings of the, Central Petaluma Specific Plan, I believe: that great opportunity exists for growth in Central Petaluma while taking advantage of the existing infrastructure and transportation corridors. ,How would you address cunenfrond future;flood!ng issues for Petalumo2 ' ¢ S,;' Coordination with the US Army Corps of Engineers• to develop a flood protection plan. Pursue public private partnerships for flood improvements to encourage 'projects that, will bring the the current flood prone areas out of the flood plain, and provide economic ',development. This may include recommending to the City Council that the City offer incentive programs or- low interest loans towards the.,goal of flood prevention. Remove flood prone areas from flood insurance requirements by remapping flood zones with FEMA when substantial ,progress is made toward completing the City' s plan. Evidence- from other areas including nearby Napa shows that flood improvements have a positive economic' impact by raising property values, and encouraging development in areas that were ,previously at risk. How would you address current and future`.traffic congestion rn Petaluma2�^ ; ;z 1: r c, ` , Increased congestion typically leads'to higher utilization ;and demand for public transportation. The majority of Petaluma"s congestion is a result. pf the departing morning .commute-traffic to Santa Rosa to the north. and Marin and other destinations to the south', and returning traffic in the evening. Promoting- use 'of -.the SMART train+'should be a- major focus of the future transportation planning, including efficient and timely local' :public transit ,from the SMART station to neighborhood destinations, east side office parks 'and the .Santa Rosa Junior College campus,., (SMART will also change the hight number- of vehicle trips currently going in the north/ !South directionl'to east/west trips heading -to- the SMART stations. Parking for the SMART (stations: wild !liave to'be considered carefully as it will have a significant congestion !impact on. the .station neighborhoods but will also provide significant' opportunities for business in those areas. Page 3 What infillpolicies doyou think should be adopted in?lighi of the Urban Growth Boundary passed by the voters? Multi story residential development with 1st story retail should be encouraged near downtown and the planned SMART train station, including i a combination of rental and occupier owned residential units in a i variety of price ranges with increased density, and commercial zoning around each station. d Infrastructure improvements and City incorporation should be planned for Petaluma Blvd. North to the a01 connector extending to the urban growth limits . Development along Petaluma Blvd. N. should be encouraged. This is an area with a high traffic capacity and a potential for current density above it ' s current development .

You may submit additional sheets, if necessary, to complete your answers. Have you attended;any of the following meetings?: Planning Commission Orientation Session ❑ YES ❑ NO Date: Planning Commission Meeting ❑ YES ❑ NO Date: What'do,you`think,qualifies;you'Wsewe-on;the`Planning'Commission? As a 52 year resident of Petaluma, with 35 years of planning and construction experience, and my work on the Theatre District, Petaluma Health Center and many other Petaluma projects supervising architects and engineers,contractors and working with the City's planning and building departments, public works,water and school districts, I feel distinctly qualified to represent the City of Petaluma and our community. Having partnered with key stakeholders including community members, non profits, business leaders,local entities/agencies in planning and executing projects, I understand the complexities of good, sound sustainable planning. Page 1(^ Whatdo yauseetas the'bestsofutioris,rbothslong and.shorf term;tor economic development in Petaluma?; A short term plan would include retaining retail taxes andiimproving importation of job providing companies into currently vacant buildings. I would then consider higher density housing coupled with mixed use projects to minimize automobile use and would encourage/incentivize companies that hire"knowledge workers"(high tech,health care) with higher salary structures to locate here. This would bolster the local economy over the mid to long term, strengthen our tax base and improve our schools and community. "Imagine yourself"assn visitor to Petaluma_ What.do you see physically,economically;;and`environmentally as „you walk aroundltown8. I see the west side of Petaluma with its very walkable;pre WWII grid style planning as a great visiting hub for residents and newcomers to Petaluma. To preserve and enhance this asset, I would encourage more infill projects that would decrease automobile dependancy for employment and shopping. The east side of Petaluma,with its housing subdivisions,schools, shopping centers and automobile intensive needs is spread out such that walking isn't as encouraged and I would like to employ remedies that promote cycling and pedestrian activities. The Ge-riefat Flan (Plan)1s the guiding document vision for the City Howkwouldiyouiinterpret theppolicies and goals articulated in therplanz• Ijiow flexible;would you be and-would you feel,comfortable no-Jr approving specific land uses allowed ih'the Plan? The General Plan approved in 2008,active through 2025,is the guideline for land use and fee structures and is the basis for developers to design to. I support the infill development and higher density, mass transit friendly housing and commercial development referenced in the Plan. A specific area I might want to review closely is the 60 unit per acre,6 story allowable height(75 foot max) Central Specific plan adaptation east of downtown. I would be interested in how this type of structure might block the views of the downtown roof lines from the SMART station location and as the east side gateway to the downtown area. Page 2 6.1 The growth ma`-ndgementrs;ysteni:f os.been anielemenfof the..deVelopment`process in!Petalumarsince,1972, dhd<an Urban Growth1Boundary wavadoptediin•. 1998 to control the physical growth of Petaluma With these two major mind hand given ihe-pressure for ongoing[growth during"the next decade'or;so what two' or three,policies=and programs would;'you promote to protect the historic; cultural, and `physical aspects of 'Petaluma?' - Higher density infill programs should be considered in the urban core of town to continue the cycling and pedestrian opportunities envisioned with the City's "work-live-play"goals. The migration to more mass transit-friendly projects should be made more attractive to developers with incentives such as parking count reductions to incorporate fewer automobile intensive needs for work, shopping and recreation.This also would reduce the"parking lot massing"visible in many Petaluma business park projects. ^;How wouldiyouzaddress current and`future flooding:issu es fir Petaluma? I have worked with Petaluma City staff on flood mitigation and find that they are very knowlegable. However, negotiations with the federal government in relation to flood map updating and subsequent reasonable flood mitigation might be improved upon. I also support the city's continued collaboration with Congresman Huffman to excelerate dredging of the Petaluma river and support maintenance of our storm drain systems. How,ovould'you ad'dresslicurrent and future traffic+congestion_h Petaluma?. The East Washington Place traffic is showing signs of overcrowding with the first four retail stores open for business. This could have been avoided with more forethought and planning both at the E. Washington end of Kenilworth and the Lindberg pinched transition from Kenilworth.The Fairgrounds parking area to Johnson Drive is also a bottleneck, poorly designed and entitled.My hope is to help with mitigation and to avoid similar issues with future projects. I would encourage a fully comprehensive review of Petaluma traffic flow,patterns and congestion and encourage employers to offer their employees the option of staggering their work hours to minimize congestion on city streets and parking lots &garages. Page 3 g What infilf;policiesfdo you think should 6e`,adopted in,ligh't°,of;the Urb"an Grow th Boundary"'passed";byithe voteirsi?i I would support higher density and low income housing projects however some height restrictions and parking considerations should be reviewed as well as preserving the area's design integrity--this on a case by case basis. Another related infill policy thaf I support is a reduction in impact fees for second units to promote additional and necessary housing units in established neighborhoods. ,;Signature Date! �c.U..K 2q , 2013 Revised June 1, 2005 Page 4 p Inq 1 II -0 W 0 0 0 3 "" 0 CZ' co 0 0' 0 (D (2 0 ! -a k0- ' 'c< --n•—3 m I ->a 1 ' 3 –o 5 c ,A• r•-.,- r in H - 3 ,•:- CI• "Z 7 -% 0 , 0 0 /0.

Mohit Q: What do'you think qualifies you to serve the Planning Commission?, A: I have%an independent,democratic attitude and a sincere:interest'in.improving our City and community. I bold dn University.iHealthcareAi ministration,'anda Post-Masters in Planning from George gt I was recognized and honoredbythe City of Bowie, Maryland for developing and publishing a detailed study establishing the need for ahospital complex in the city: I was a member of-the Board of Directors of a planning commission tasked with the expansion and construction of healthcare facilities and services for San Diego, Riverside and Imperial counties. I was also the Director of Planning and Development for the establishment of a 150 million- dollar medical care'facility overseas . I developed,,authored, and received approval from the State'of California Health Services Commission for the expansion of Desert Hospital and Medical Center. Thus, I have extensive experience compiling, interpreting,'and presenting data relevant to the needs of municipalities. Q: What do you see asthe'best solution, both long and short term,.for economic development.in Petaluma? A: Petaluma is.a beautiful city with great potential for further economic and cultural growth. • Well-considered planning;with community involvement and easily-accessible.core retail centers will improve both the aesthetic appeal and fiscal sustainability of our City. Improved access (both pedestrian and vehicular)to our unique neighborhood retail shops, cafes and recreational facilities,the reduction of traffic congestion in the City's center and an increase in parking is i likely to increase revenues and Contribute to the City's revenue base. Providing innovative incentives may also,encourage businessestto relocate to Petaluma. These incentives may include assigning an,appropriate member of the City's development staff to serve as a point of contact for all city processing and permits; a reduction in utility connection fees; and tax incentives for companies.Willing to locate in retail-Poor areas of the City. A"Site Selection and Permitting Assistance Department" should be established to help businesses locate appropriate sites and guide:them:through the permitting process. This Department would, in turn, make site recommendations to the City Planning Commission for review and approval. Q: Imagine yourself as a visitor to Petaluma: What do you see physically,economically, and environmentally as you walk around town? A: Petaluma isa charming city with a small-town, mid 19th Century feel.The buildings in the downtown area and along the water front are proud examples of the City's dedication to the preservation of its heritage- botharchitectural and historical. Most of the City's tourist- , attractions,are located downtown in West.Petaluma, with several newer, large retail centers near the freeway. The topography of the.City is mostly flat,with a gradual rise into the residential.neighborhoods on the west side of town. Highway101 divides'West and East Petaluma. East Petaluma is primarily residential and currently lacks a coreretail/shopping area. • The verdant hills around the City's urban and residential core are breathtaking and give -7 q it • j Applicant: Robert B. Mohit Petaluma a distinctly agricultural,.eco-conscious feel. Apshortdrive:from.downtown and you find yourself surrounded by rolling,hills,dairies,vineyards,;farms,;and-pastures. Q: The General Plan Plan is the guiding document and vision.for the City: How would you ( ) � B g interpret the olicies and; oals articulated in the plan?How flexible would you be and would you feel comfortable hot approving specific land uses allowed in=the plan? A: The policies and goals articulated in the City's General Plan for Petaluma provide an excellent roadmap for the Commission, but the Plan does not-and'cannot- provide definitive guidance in every instance. The Plan is'a living document;oneithat'must+be interpreted and applied by the members;of the Planning Commission with the Plan's ultimate goals in mind. Projects and/or land uses expressly prohibited:by the Plan)should either be,denied or redesigned to comply with the Plan. In those;instances, however.,wherela project or land usels'hot expressly prohibited bythe,Plan, I believe I;could beflexible on,a,case-by-case basis, provided I could be convinced that the,project and/or land use served the best interest of our community, economically, environmentall •and socially'. i Q: How would.you addresscurrentand future flooding issuesforPetaluma? A: In recent years we have witnessed a considerable warthingtrend in+our world due to CO2 emissions. These warming trends are expected to continue and accelerate in the years to come, resulting iirsevere weather changes, including.unexpected.rain storms and floods. Petaluma issurrounded'byhills and situated along{a waterway with a history of flooding during severe storms. Flooding'is,.therefore, a matter of great,concern. Petaluma should continue to • revise and update its Floodplain and Floodway Regulations and.ensure that watersheds and riparian areas remain undeveloped. The City should also consider'rimplementing regulations requiring'drainage channel inspections on',all private property prior to the close of escrow. Finally,the City should;also:consider offering training courses in disaster preparedness. Q: How would you address current and future traffic congestion in Petaluma? A: The City seems to lack adequate parking near the:down town area and some of the parking currently available is unsuitable. For example, Petaluma Boulevard, which'currently allows parallel parking on both'sides of the•street, is too.narrow to:comfortably accommodate parking and traffic. A public parking facility needs to be built near the downtown area Alternatively, a "a park-and ride" area:outside of town- perhaps in connection with the efforts,to bring back the. Petaluma Trolley- could beused to shuttle people,to and from downtown. All new residential and commercial„buildings should be required to provide adequate.off-street parking.as a condition of approval. The City may also wish.to,explore whether the provision,of public bicycles:for use in the flatter sections of the downtown area would be a viable alternative for residents,andtourists. Public bicycle programshave,been implemented with great success in Europe and'several cities here in the U:S. (e:g:,.Denver, Colorado) also have them. Finally,traffic studies should'be conducted with:an eye to the creation of a comprehensive plan to relieve traffic congestion by, inter alia,-iinproving bicycle lanes, and facilitating'pedestrian access to and from public transportation. • Applicant: Robert B. Mohit • Q: Whatinfili policies.doyou think should be adopted inlight of'the:Urban Growth Boundary passed by the voters? A: In,general, I agree with the City's Policy,outlined in Table 4.9-I, of promoting: nfill development at equator higher density.and intensity than surrounding uses. However, I strongly believe that one of the main attractions of our City is its peaceful, residential neighborhoods. As more and more people flee the congestion and urbanity of larger cities to live and raise their families here, (choosing to commute longer for the peace and quiet of our smaller, but vibrant community), we should strive to preserve Petaluma's unique character. Thus,the objective of the City Planning Commission should be to plan for, inevitable increase'in the City's population in a manner consistent with;the City's guiding principles and,to preserve the City's historical character and natural environment. The City should not develop and build homes, businesses, or offices close together in every parcel ofiland without-allowing for open space, parks, recreation areas, and walking paths. • • p II ti rx 4 `RECE1') E® FP' G 1 ��7.

I believe I would bring a wide range ofskills to the Planning Commission. As a project manager at a local business, I have worked with almost every sector of the community including regulators, contractors, consultants in many different fields, workers, lenders and many city government departments. My ability to communicate with all these groups will;allow me to bring together diverse interests to find reasonable solutions toithe issues facing Petaluma. My work in local business has given me an understanding of many°diverse fields, including wastewater and regulatory compliance, and a firsthand experience of cost/benefit analysis when undertaking major projects in and around Petaluma. My background in organic vegetable farming helps me understand the challenges faced in modern agriculture and the needs of food processors. And finally, all these experiences, as well as my Biology`degree, have trained me to look at specific issues in the context of the widergoal. Please state reasons why you want to become a member of this Board, Commission or Committee, including what specific objectives you would be working toward as a member of this advisory body: I have lived in the Petaluma community for ten years. I have benefitted from the work prior commissioners have completed in service to the community, and I would like to do my part to continue improving my community. As stated above, I believe my wide range of experiences will be of benefit to the Planning Commission and I would like to put them to use to serve'the community. One of my specific objectives is to help Petaluma become a hub for unique and innovative food producers. I would like to help find the balance between healthy economic growth and maintaining the small town feel of Petaluma. 6/g/5 $'1 . .

I will be an excellent planning commissioner because I wish to help facilitate sustainable development and measured growth in our town. I have been living and working in Petaluma for 10 years. My career in cheesemaking and project management has given me the opportunity to engage first hand, in the processes involved in planning department permitting and the workings of city government.Because of these experiences, I can contribute to the long-term health of the community, the continued connection between our agricultural heritage and to the vitality of our food production companies located in our city's limits. Asa homeowner and a 'member of+the community,'I have a vested interest in seeing the peaceful charm and entrepreneurial vitality of the Petaluma community maintained while allowing for smart and measured growth. What do you see as'the best solutions, both long and short term, for economic development in Petaluma? • Identify industries and businesses that fit the character of the Petaluma General Plan, such as small and medium-scale food producers. • Find ways to provide incentives to these industries as well as proper infrastructure to meet their needs. • Create clear pathways and guidelines for businesses to use when considering a Petaluma location. Imagine yourself as a visitor to Petaluma. What do you see physically, economically, and environmentally as you walk around town? Petaluma is in a unique location in the North Bay. More than any other town in the area, it serves as an interface between rural agriculture and urban consumers. The town is surrounded by rural lands that produce great agricultural products and is positioned along major thoroughfares that allow access to labor and markets. This mix of urban accessibility and proximity to agriculture places Petaluma in an ideal location to process these goods and become the central point for regionally sourced products. It is also this positioning that gives Petaluma much of its natural beauty. The Petaluma River, the surrounding hills, proximity to the ocean and wine country and unique microclimate all make Petaluma the ideal hub for small, artisan food producers. The General Plan (Plan) is the guiding document and vision for the City. How would you interpret the policies and goals articuiated'in the plan? Supplemental Questionnaire for Planning Commission.Candidates How flexible would you be and would you feel;comfortable not approving specific land uses allowed-in the Plan? There has been much thoughtful arid balanced.long-term planning for the city. I would strive to follow through with the vision of the General Plan. That being said, each case merits individual consideration. It is important to consider that businesses refer to the General Plan as a guiding document when looking to locate or expand.in Petaluma. In order to facilitate business growth in' Petaluma, consistent government policies are a must. Although I would be comfortable rejecting a specific land use, long term ramifications of these actions should limit taking decisions against the General Plan to extreme cases only. The growth managementsystem ha's been an element of the development process in Petaluma since 1972, and an Urban Growth Boundary was adopted in 1998 to control the physical growth of'Petaluma. With these two major policies in mind, and giventhe pressure for ongoing growth during the next decade or so, what two or three policies and programs would you promote to protect the historic, cultural, and physical aspects of Petaluma'? We are fortunate to have urban growth boundaries in place in Petaluma. Thanks to forward thinking citizens, we have been able to concentrate housing and commercial development within the city's core. It would be good to look at opportunities in east Petaluma for housing infill and neighborhood retail development, especially around the Santa Rosa Junior College campus. Some of the shopping malls on McDowell Street could use an infusion of capital and energy. Perhaps incorporating rental housing on these properties would help re-vitalize them? Improving bicycle and walking pairs throughout the city would help our traffic congestion issues and would help keep our citizens healthy. How would you address current and future flooding issues for Petaluma? Floodingissues in Petaluma need to be considered in the context of the entire watershed. Land use policies need to be combined with structural solutions that are designed with theentire watershed in mind. Larger solutions to flood problems need to be considered regionally, and should include the possibility of downstream flood plain modification to decrease the hydraulic loadiof the Petaluma River during storm events. Locally, solution's should include planning that limits vulnerable construction in the flood plain as well as incentivizing programs to help mitigate high inflows to flood prone areas. 90 Supplemental Questionnaire for Planning Commission Candidates i Use of construction methods that maintain or ihcrease1the water infiltration ability of a,site should be favored over river containment systems such as dykes and levees. How would you address current and future traffic congestion in Petaluma? I would favor policies that increase the walkability of Petaluma as well as increase the ease of crosstown bike;access to provide alternatives to vehicular traffic. I would work with the Petaluma Police Department and Public Works to find and,implement'new traffic control technologies to even the flow of vehicle traffic. What infill policies do you think should be adopted in light of the Urban Growth Boundary passed by the voters? Infill should be encouraged irrespective of the urban growth boundary. One large deterrent to infill is that the older parts,of town lack the utilities and infrastructure needed for development•„Areas for infill should be highlighted and policies to upgrade) infrastructure encouraged. City government needs to provide the infrastructure for businesses to thrive. Businesses cannot be expected to shoulder infrastructure costs without support from the city.

The downtown has great economic potential; particularly if its historical character is exploited as a regional destination.

That said, it is still directly connected to the countryside and Petaluma's agricultural roots. 1 1 � The:;Gen,01.10lon'IPIa n) ,isethe guiding docurment`a 4 vision°tor the,City a How wou dryou interpret tf e poliraes, ,and goals a Gticulated'n\theplan?

Using baseball as a metaphor, it's useful to think of the General Plan as°the strike zone, and to see the Planning Commission as the umpire. The Commission's job, as the umpire, is to call a consistent game based on thestrike zone it is given. The goal is predictability. This works for both sides of the managed growth equation-for the developer and the community. But because the plan itself seeks a.holistic approach to planning in general, not every development scenario can be foreseen. Inevitably, there will be situations that call for amendment and modification. However,.adherence to the planshould remain.a high'triority If a change is to occur, there must be compelling evidence that overriding social benefit is in the balance. ,.The growth onogement system has be°entian element of the developmentt'process in Petaluma since 1972,' #,"; an-d an, Urban Growith;Boundary;,was,adopted in 119998 to con troltthe physical growth of Petaluma r What heser twormajor policies in mind anted°givenythe pressure for ongoing growth;during the,'ext decadeter so what,wo'jll orthreme apo lica s and programs wouldiyou promotelto,protect te historic cultural npysical aspecs$oui , Petolu et 4_71 _ # _ .i _ . _ vt,• Residential Growth At or near the center of town, or neartransportation hubs such as tne,SMART Station, promote higher density business, commercial and residential development.

Infrastructure: Mobility and Water Management Traffic congestion, pollution and water supply shortfalls present significant challenges to the quality of life in the near future. Require that all new development evaluate traffic impact to the cumulative area flow, as well as to the immediately adjacent.flow on adjoining streets or roads. Maintain current offset fees to help underwrite the construction of increased traffic mitigation elements and alternate transportation modes.

For all development, it is important to consider recharge areas, impervious material footprints, percolation ponds, and drainage SWales, among other items, to restrict system wide storm water run-off and pressureon the river.

Some of the funding for this network could be provided by developers, but only With guidance from the city. Chief among these would. be public transport, with expanded frequent and regular interval S along the Washington Street corridor, perhaps for no charge to provide an incentive for its utilization. Additionally, adopting counterintuitive measures, such as,traffic calming;-:road diets, and reduced levels of auto service may also help foster An increase in alternative'modesiof transportatieh such as more safe bike paths. -7.

Tile key is:to bring:more business.and residential activity to downtown,'continue to enhance the riverfront, and move„forward with the SMART Station Area Plan. On the Eastside of town, existing retail malls, both large,and small, can be redeveloped for mixed useas economic conditions change. This would'represent a partial fulfillment of the,General'Plan's directive to emphasize the neighborhood characteristics of Petaluma. Using community input as a guide, the City could create incentives for stakeholders to,begin a process of converting underperforming malls into neighborhood squares and infilling them With businesses that better meet evolving needs. This kind of development policy would provide local residents with$goodsand services right where they live, and . simultaneously alleviate some pressure on:the traffic grid. Replacing tracts,of asphalt with landscaping, mini parks,and community squares:would, over time, convert satellite malls into real neighborhoods and hubs. They would support pedestrian activity, and include bike•path connections to the rest of the city, along with bike racks. 174 "E s Q( j <x ' ++, � x a r i =- m 1.'^':.. . ! sc r ` a "7 ,' , i;u P g} a'3`a`it, `, e *r-�`” 7' ° ah - .r� 6` ii `kI 7 tr A �t tSign lure r4 H' Date ' " ;,, ''.t`t 6'rt 't f Wiz,/ /ZS AO/3 Revised June 1 , 2005 � O ( , �`` y °,�s co 3y, 03 m'3 c p� ga dO.a�i .C3 F7L, ai-No ••.±. a� ?� Q cD.

Overall, I work hard with the stakeholders to achieve the best possible outcome for-all involved.

Wehave.a new housing element comingthrough ABAG in the next year that will determine how much funding we have available for new growth (housing and transportation funding) as we protect our existing infrastructure: Ensuring we,produce:housing that is appropriate to the need is key. We have an aging population,seeking:affordable housing that is.walkable to their immediate needs and provides quality of lifein their out years. Webavea young, diverse community coming up as well. Being perceptive to the needs of these populations is important as we set policy for growth. Transit Oriented Development allows for desificationof population without straining infrastructure because people are placed within walking distance of public transportation and commercial resources needed. This produces a higherquality of life fat the residents and built in eustomers for the commerce. 1 ItiriS. 11 (f$- am,a`A° r�" it 5 " ,u&:-k o, ,lf �' �q.ti'� How,would;youladdress currenf anchfuture flooding is�sues`uo Retaluma?� � vto r- a ,V4„ p_, $ al%irtWnirr ..f, .n�l..rt....
