The proposed Amendment is in conformance with the Petaluma General 13 Plan and will help to implement goals, objectives and programs of the 14 General Plan relating to the development of underutilized properties and 15 encouraging development within the Urban Limit Line. 16 17 The 1.9-acre parcel is underutilized, as the existing single-story residence 18 is unoccupied. The Mixed-Use designation allows a broader range of uses 19 to be developed at this site. 20 21 2. The proposed Amendment is deemed to be in the public interest to provide 22 for orderly development of appropriate office and professional uses. 23 24 The Mixed-Use designation at this location will not create a nuisance to 25 existing adjacent commercial and residential properties. 26 27 3. The proposed Amendment is consistent and compatible with the rest of the 28 General Plan and any implementation programs that may be affected. Reso. 99-84 NCS Page 2 of 4 2 1 2 The Mixed-Use designation at this site incorporates the policies to develop 3 underutilized properties of the General Plan. Additionally, the proposal 4 adheres to the design guidelines within the General Pan that are required 5 of properties,. which are along Gateway designations. 6 7 4. The potential impacts of the proposed Amendment have been assessed and 8 have been determined not to be detrimental to the public health, safety or 9 welfare. 10 11 The Mixed Use designation will not create any negative traffic impacts to 12 the existing Level of Service at the intersection of Ellis Street and Sturcon 13 Way or Ellis Street and East Washington. The detailed traffic study 14 indicates that there would be less of an impact to these intersections if 15 office/commercial uses were to be developed at this site than if residential 16 uses were to occur at this location. 17 18 5. The proposed Amendment has been processed in accordance with the 19 applicable provisions of the California Government Code and the 20 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). 21 Reso. 99-84 NCS Page 3 of 4 1 In compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental 2 Quality Act, an Initial Study was prepared for the General Plan 3 Amendment proposed for the site from Urban High to Mixed Use. Based 4 upon the Initial Study, a determination was made with the incorporation of 5 mitigation measures that no significant environmental effects would result. 6 A copy of this Notice was published in the Argus Courier and provided to 7 residents and occupants within 300 ft. of the site, in compliance with 8 CEQA requirements. 9 10 11 12 13 s:Acc-city council reports\Martin City Council Staff Report:doc/ed 14 Under the power and authority conferred upon this Council by the Charter of said City.
