JOINT MEETING
PCDC AND CITY COUNCIL
Recess to Joint Meeting with Petaluma Community Development Commission:
(cont'd. from June 20). The Council removed the wording relating to the
redevelopment agency ability to assume the right of eminent domain on residential
property. It was noted the City Council retains the power of eminent domain.
Principal Planner Michael Moore reviewed three redevelopment area boundary
options before the Council. The first option was the original map which included
properties beyond those fronting on Petaluma Blvd. The second option included all
buildable property fronting on Petaluma Blvd. North and those properties whose
owners expressed their desire to be included. This option would create islands of
property that would not be part of the area. The third option was to include all
property with buildable frontage on Petaluma Blvd. North and those contiguous to
Petaluma Blvd. North who request inclusion.
The EIR process was explained by Mr. Mike Moore, Principal Planner. The notes
and comments to the Draft EIR that have been received are included in the Final
document. The revenue calculations will be made after the boundary is determined.
In response to a question of timing of the proposed actions, staff advised the
Commission/Council that there would be a loss of approximately $400,000 in tax
increment revenue if the proposed actions were not adopted at this time.
The Council reaffirmed that flood mitigation is the Council's highest priority. Mr.
Sabo, counsel for these proceedings, reviewed the process that had transpired to
date, the public hearing has been held and he added that it is proper for the Council
to make their decision at this time.
P ,DC//Council 7/5/88 2
The Council agreed to adopt the third boundary option which would include all
property with buildable frontage on Petaluma Blvd. North and those who requested
inclusion and are contiguous to property fronting on Petaluma Blvd. North and
exclude properties that may have requested inclusion but are not contiguous to
Petaluma Blvd. in order to avoid creation of islands which are not in the district.
