NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Petaluma hereby upholds the appeal of Christensen/Coates based on the
following findings:
l. The proposed industrial/office building, as conditionally approved, will
not degrade the quality of the environment.
2. The project will not achieve short-term goals to the disadvantage of
long term goals because the expected delay in Lakeville Highway
frontage improvements and sound wall construction is not significant.
3. The project does not have impacts which are individually limited but
cumulatively considerable because of the conditions of approval.
4. All other uncontested SPARC conditions shall remain in effect.
5. The revised conditions of approval, setforth below, are consistent with
previous approvals and development patterns on this parcel.
6. It is the City's intent to swiftly pursue and form an assessment
district for the improvement of Lakeville Highway pursuant to the
adopted Plan Line Study.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Petaluma hereby amends the three contested conditions of
approval to read as follows :
1, The applicant shall participate in an assessment district to improve the
parcels' frontage along Lakeville Highway, provide a traffic signal at
Casa Grande/Lakeville intersection, and to construct a soundwall
pursuant to the adopted Lakeville Highway Plan Line Study .
2. Casa Grande Road shall be improved concurrent with building
construction as required by the City Engineer.
3. A$15,000.00 contribution towards sound wall design shall be made
within 30 days from date of this resolution which will be credited
towards the project site's contribution in the assessment district. If
no assessment district is formed within two years of payment, the
contribution shall be refunded.
Under the power and authority conferred upon this Council by the Charter of said City.
