WHEREAS, an Initial Study was prepared and the results of the study indicated
that the proposed Rockridge Pointe project, as mitigated, will not cause any significant
adverse environmental impacts; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Petaluma held a public
hearing on October 22, 2002, on the subject application, heard testimony, and concluded
that the findings and conditions as amended were adequate and recommended to the City
Council approval of the proposed development; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council considered the Rockridge Pointe proposal on
March 3, 2003, and considered all written and verbal communications concerning
potential environmental impacts resulting from the project before rendering a decision.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council approves a
Mitigated Negative Declaration subject to the following Findings and Mitigation
Measures:
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION:
1. An Initial Study was prepared and demonstrated that there is no substantial
evidence that supports a fair argument that the project, as conditioned, would have
a significant effect on the environment.
2. The project does not have the potential to affect wildlife resources as defined in
the State Fish and Game Code, either individually or cumulatively, and is exempt
from Fish and Game filing fees because it is proposed on an small, undeveloped
site surrounded by development, with none of the resources as defined in the
Code.
3. The project is not located on a site listed on any Hazardous Waste Site List
compiled by the State pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the California Government
Code.
Resolution No. 2003-052 N.C.S.
4. The Planning Commission reviewed the Initial Study and considered public
comments before making a recommendation on the project.
5. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has been prepared to ensure compliance with
the adopted mitigation measures.
6. The record of proceedings of the decision on the project is available for public
review at the City of Petaluma, Community Development Department, City Hall,
11 English. Street, Petaluma, California.
MITIGATION MEASURES:
All mitigation measures contained and described in the Initial Study for Rockridge Pointe
are herein incorporated.
Under the power and authority conferred upon this Council by the Charter of said City.
