ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PETALUMA AMENDING THE ZONING
MAP CONTAINED IN THE IMPLEMENTING ZONING ORDINANCE, ORDINANCE NO. 2300
N.C. S., TO CHANGE THE ZONING OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 511 SONOMA
MOUNTAIN PARKWAY FROM R-4 TO R-2
APN 149-413-023
FILE NO. PLTS-13-0002
WHEREAS, Doyle Heaton with DRG Builder on behalf of Barbara Lee Gomes (1994 Rose L.
Avila Trust), submitted an application (File No. PLTS-13-0002) for a Zoning Map Amendment and
Tentative Subdivision Map to the City of Petaluma for the property located at 511 Sonoma
Mountain Parkway, APN 149-413-023 ("the Project" or the "proposed Project") for the purpose of
developing 21 single-family lots of 6,018 square feet to 8,009 square feet, and 6 landscaping and
bio-retention/storm drain detention treatment parcels A through F parcels, and,
WHEREAS, the City's Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider
the proposed Implementing Zoning Ordinance amendment on May 13, 2014; and,
WHEREAS, on July 7, 2014, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider
the proposed Zoning Amendment; and,
WHEREAS, on July 7, 2014, the City Council reviewed the CEQA evaluation for the Project
and adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act and the City of Petaluma
Environmental Guidelines; and,
WHEREAS, on July 7, 2014 the City Council approved the Zoning Map Amendment to
change the zoning of the property located at 511 Sonoma Mountain Parkway from R-4 to R-2,
based on the findings made below:
1. The proposed amendment to the Implementing Zoning Ordinance to Rezone the
subject parcel (149-413-023) to R-2 is consistent with and implements the Low Density
Residential land use classification of the General Plan as already existing for the
parcel.

2. The proposed rezoning results in a use that is appropriate and compatible with
existing surrounding uses. The project is consistent with the established character of
the surrounding neighborhoods and the low-density residential character within the
North East Planning Subarea of the General Plan and will be complemented by the
proposed project.
3. The proposed rezoning to R-2 is consistent with the Petaluma General plan Housing
Element policies which Promote residential development within the Urban Growth
Boundary (Policy 11-P-1.1) and Encourage the development of housing on
underutilized land (Policy 11-P-1.2).
4. The public necessity, convenience and general welfare clearly permit and will be
furthered by the proposed amendment because it will allow the development of
housing on underutilized land within the Urban Growth Boundary. The General Plan
proposes development of approximately 6,000 additional residential units and a build
out population of approximately 72,700. This represents an annual growth of rate of
nearly 1.2% per year. The project would add 21 new market rate dwelling units. The
project site is identified as Site 8 within the City of Petaluma Residential Land
Inventory Opportunity Sites, Appendix A to the City of Petaluma 2009-2014 Housing
Element, prepared in 2009. Payment of in -lieu fees will allow the city to continue to
fund affordable housing through land acquisition and assistance to non-profit
developers and other mechanisms, including the "silent second mortgage" program.
The proposed project would also require Site Plan & Architectural Review and
approval by the Planning Commission.
5. The requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) have been
satisfied through the preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project.
Mitigation measures have been proposed and agreed to by the applicant that will
reduce potential impacts to less than significant.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PETALUMA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Zoning Map contained in the Implementing Zoning Ordinance is hereby
amended to modify the zoning district of the property located at 511 Sonoma Mountain
