WHEREAS, pursuant to the analysis in the Initial Study/MND, the Project does not make a
considerable contribution to the significant and unavoidable cumulative traffic and/or noise impacts

WHEREAS, pursuant to further analysis in the Initial Study/MND, including evaluation using the Bay
Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) recently adopted CEQA Guidelines`and 2010 Clean
Air Plan, the Project does not make a considerable contribution to a significant cumulative air quality or
greenhouse gas emission impacts found to be significant and unavoidable in the General Plan 2025 EIR,

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared in conformance with
Section 21081.6 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 15097 of the CEQA
Guidelines. This document has been developed to ensure implementation of mitigation measures and
proper and adequate monitoring/reporting of such implementation. This MMRP shall be adopted in
conjunction with project approval, which relies upon a Mitigated Negative Declaration.
It is the intent of this MMRP to: (1) document implementation of required mitigation; (2) identify
monitoring/reporting responsibility, be it the lead agency (City of Petaluma), other agency (responsible
or trustee agency), or a private entity (applicant, contractor, or project manager); (3) establish the
frequency and duration of monitoring/reporting; (4) provide a record of the monitoring/reporting; and
(5) ensure compliance. The City of Petaluma's Planning Commission has adopted those mitigation
measures within its responsibility to implement as binding conditions of approval.
The following table lists each of the mitigation measures adopted by the City in connection with project
approval, the implementation action, timeframe to which the measure applies, the monitoring/reporting
responsibility, reporting requirements, and the status of compliance with the mitigation measure.
Implementation
The responsibilities of implementation include review and approval by City staff including the
engineering, planning, and building divisions. Responsibilities include the following:
1. The applicant shall obtain all required surveys and studies and provide a copy to the City prior to
issuance of grading permits or approvals of improvements plans.
2. The applicant shall incorporate all applicable code provisions and required mitigation measures
and conditions into the design and improvements plans and specifications for the project.
The applicant shall notify all employees, contractors, subcontractor, and agents involved in the
project implementation of mitigation measures and conditions applicable to the project and shall
ensure compliance with such measures and conditions.
4. The applicant shall provide for the cost of monitoring of any condition or mitigation measure that
involves on-going operations on the site or long-range improvements.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015-03 Page 4
The applicant shall designate a project manager with authority to implement all mitigation
measures and conditions of approval and provide name, address, and phone numbers to the City
prior to issuance of any grading permits and signed by the contractor responsible for construction.
6. Mitigation measures required during construction shall be listed as conditions on the building or
grading permits and signed by the contractor responsible for construction.
7. All mitigation measures shall be incorporated as conditions of project approval.
8. If deemed appropriate by the City, the applicant shall arrange a pre -construction conference with
the construction contractor, City staff and responsible agencies to review the mitigation measures
and conditions of approval prior to the issuance of grading and building permits.
Monitoring and Reporting
The responsibilities of monitoring and reporting include the engineering, planning, and building
divisions, as well as the fire department. Responsibilities include the following:
The Building, Planning, and Engineering Divisions and Fire Department shall review the
improvement and construction plans for conformance with the approved project description and
all applicable codes, conditions, mitigation measures, and permit requirements prior to approval of
a site design review, improvement plans, grading plans, or building permits.
2. The Planning Division shall ensure that the applicant has obtained applicable required permits
from all responsible agencies and that the plans and specifications conform to the permit
requirements prior to the issuance of grading or building permits.
Prior to acceptance of improvements or issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, all improvements
shall be subject to inspection by City staff for compliance with the project description, permit
conditions, and approved development or improvement plans.
4. City inspectors shall ensure that construction activities occur in a manner that is consistent with
the approved plans and conditions of approval.
