CITY OF PETALUMA PLANNING COMMISSION
DETERMINING THAT THE PROPOSED VACATION OF THE 1-FOOT WIDE NON ACCESS
EASEMENT ON PARCEL ONE ALONG NORTH MCDOWELL BOULEVARD AS SHOWN ON THE
PETALUMA VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER SUBDIVISION MAP RECORDED ON SEPTEMBER 16,
1981 IN BOOK 327 OF MAPS, PAGES 10-11, AND AMENDED BY CERTIFICATE OF
CORRECTION RECORDED SEPTEMBER 23, 1981 PER DOCUMENT NUMBER 81-54757,
SONOMA COUNTY RECORDS, IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PETALUMA GENERAL PLAN
WHEREAS, the Petaluma Health Care District of Petaluma, CA has submitted an
application to the City of Petaluma Planning Department requesting that the City vacate the
existing 1-foot wide non access easement shown on parcel one of the above referenced
subdivision map along the property frontage of North McDowell Boulevard; and,
WHEREAS, Petaluma Health Care District has requested the proposed vacation to
accommodate the right in and right out access to and from North McDowell Boulevard to
provide better site circulation; and,
WHEREAS, a median will be installed in North McDowell Boulevard as part of the adjacent
Deer Creek Plaza Shopping Center to prevent left turning movement conflicts into and outof
the proposed Lynch Creek Plaza Shopping Center;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY OF PETALUMA PLANNING COMMISSION
HEREBY:
1. Incorporates herein by reference the above recitals.
2. Finds that the proposed vacation is consistent with the Petaluma General Plan Policy
5-P-1 which calls for development of an interconnected mobility system that allows
travel on multiple routes by multiple modes. The proposed vacation would allow
access driveway directly onto N. McDowell Boulevard for the Lynch Creek Plaza
project (12-GPA-0236). The non-access easement is no longer necessary and the
recently approved Deer Creek Plaza Shopping Center project is required to install a
center median on North McDowell Boulevard which will prevent left turn in and out
movements, limiting the proposed driveway approach to right turn in and out only.
