Resolution No. 8s-~8s N C.S.
of the City of Petaluma, California
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ISSUANCE OF A
NEGATIVE DECLARATION PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FOR A GENERAL PLAN/EDP LAND USE
DESIGNATION AMENDMENT FOR AP No's 007-412-51 & 52
AND A RANCHO ARROYO PCD ZONING REGULATIONS
TEXT AMENDMENT TO PERMIT NEW CAR DEALERSHIPS
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has recommended the issuance of a
Negative Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) for the following project:
1. Amendment to the General Plan/Environmental Design Plan Land
Use Designation from "Industrial" to "Service Commercial" for two
parcels totaling 15± acres west of 101 Freeway, between Corona
Road and Old Redwood Highway, Sonoma County Assessor's Parcel
No's 007-412-51 and 52; and
2. Amend the Petaluma Zoning Ordinance text by adding to the
Rancho Arroyo PCD Zoning Regulations an 11th conditional use:
"New car dealerships with appurtenant facilities, not including
major engine repair or body repair."
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the issuance of said Negative
Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act is hereby
approved, based on the following findings:
1. Because the site has long been under cultivation, contains no trees or
riparian habitat, appears to be a meadowland of the type common in
the area, and is designated an area of low likelihood of archaeological
significance, the project does not substantially reduce the habitat of a
fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife species to drop below
self-sustaining levels, to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce
the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or
animal, or eliminate important examples of periods of California history
or prehistory .

2. Preliminary environmental review concerns with possible aesthetic
impacts of development. of this site .adjacent. to the .freeway will be
adequately addressed in standard ~ site plan and architectural review of
the project..
3. Traffic and circulation impacts of the project identified in preliminary
environmental review have been detailed in a traffic study for this
project and the required mitigation measures of that study will be
undertaken as required with a fair share of the costs borne by this
project. The mitigation measures will be undertaken upon review of
detailed proposals when the Planning Commission considers conditional
use permits for .facilities on this site.
4. The project as conditionally approved does not have the potential to
achieve short term to the disadvantage of long term environmental
goals .
5. Because there are no planned additional phases of the project, and
because any new dealership will require a conditional use permit from
the Planning Commission, the project does not have impacts which are
individually limited but cumulatively consider-able.
6. Because traffic impact mitigations have been identified in a traffic
study and will be conditions of approval of use permits for any auto
dealerships on the site. and because Zoning Ordinance performance
standards for noise, glare, etc. will apply and because Fire Code
provisions on storage of flammable materials and fire safety will be
considered in review of any development proposals on the site, the
project does not have environmental effects which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings either directly or indirectly.

7. The project impact on flooding in the community will be mitigated by
payment of Flood Mitigation Fees. In addition, the project shall
participate in the proposed Denman Dam Assessment District, should it
be formed. Any Flood Mitigation Fees paid prior to formation of this
Assessment District would be credited against this assessment.
8. The traffic and circulation impacts of the project will in part be
mitigated by participation in future Highway Overpass and. Road
Improvement Assessment District if such District is formed.
Under the power and authority conferred upon this Council by the Charter of said City.
