21 Section 1. The City Council finds that the Planning Commission filed with the City
22 Council its report set forth in its minutes of October 22, 2002, recommending the adoption of an
23 amendment to Zoning Ordinance Section 1072 N.C.S., as amended, by classifying and prezoning
24 certain lands being more particularly described as the 123-acre Assessor's Parcel Nos. APN 020-
25 030-037, 039, 013 and 015.
26
27 Section 2. The City Council further finds that said Planning Commission held a public
28 hearing on said proposed amendment on October 22, 2002., after giving notice of said hearing, in
29 the manner, for the period, and in the form required by said Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S., as
30 amended.
31
32 Section 3. Pursuant to the provisions of Zoning Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S., as
33 amended, the City Council finds as follows:
34
35 1. The proposed Prezoning of the Rockridge Pointe property to PUD is consistent
36 with the Petaluma General Plan, and is in general conformity with the zoning
37 regulations of the City of Petaluma as described in the project staff report.
Ordinance 2148 N.C.S.
Page 1
1 Additionally, the Fire Marshal, Police Department, and the Engineering Division
2 have prepared conditions of approval to address safety issues and design criteria
3 for grading, site improvements and construction of the residences.
4
5 2. The public necessity, convenience and general welfare clearly permit the adoption
6 of the Prezoning in that the zoning designation will result in residential uses that
7 are appropriate and compatible with the existing surrounding uses. The project
8 plans present a unified and organized arrangement of residential lots and public
9 streets, appropriate to adjacent and nearby properties. Proposed landscaping
10 would .further insure compatibility. The proposed project would also require
11 review and approval by the Site Plan and Architectural Review Committee.
12
13 3. The requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) have been
14 satisfied through the preparation of an Initial Study and the drafting of a Mitigated
15 Negative Declaration to avoid or reduce to a level of insignificance, potential
16 impacts generated by the proposed project. In compliance with the requirements
17 of the California Environmental Quality Act, an Initial Study was prepared for
