Res. No....84..-2.7.?.... N.C.S.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Petaluma hereby denies the appeal of Mar-Mon Developers.
NOW BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby makes the
following findings as originally rendered by the Planning Commission:
1. The housing development project would have a specific, adverse
impact upon the public health or safety unless the project is
disapproved or approved upon the condition that the project. be
developed at a lower density.
2. There is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the
adverse impact identified pursuant to finding (1) , other than the
disapproval of the housing development project or the approval of
the project upon the condition that it be developed at a lower
density.
3. The findings mandated by Zoning Ordinance Section 19A-300 for a
rezone to Planned Unit District (P. U.D.) could not be made for
this project because of possible adverse impacts.
Examples of adverse impacts upon the public health or safety which
cannot be adequately mitigated include the additional number of
automobiles brought to the neighborhood by Valley Mist residents and
the resultant noise and congestion; exposure of dwelling units,
particularly those on the third story, to inhospitable noise from
surrounding land uses due to poor interfacing of residential and
industrial land uses; reduction in neighborhood privacy due to the
proposed building heights.
Under the power and authority conferred upon this Council by the Charter of said City.
