29
30 Findings for Approval of the PUD Development Plan
31

33 physical environment than would be possible under any single zoning district or
34 combination of zoning districts.
Resolution No. 99-g6 N.C.S. Page 1 Of 8

2 The proposed PUD will allow proposed office uses that are compatible with the existing
3 surrounding residential and commercial uses. Design guidelines have been prepared to
4 ensure that the architecture of the proposed buildings reflect the existing design of the
5 two-story house and pump house. The project has been conditioned to underground
6 overhead utility lines, which will result in a more attractive streetscape.
7
8 2. The proposed Martin Historic Plaza development plan is proposed on property which has
9 a suitable relationship to one or more thoroughfares (East Washington Street, Ellis
10 Street), and said thoroughfares with the improvements herein required, are adequate to
11 carry any additional traffic generated by the development.
12
13 The Mixed Use designation will not create any negative traffic impacts to the existing
14 Level of Service at the intersection of Ellis Street and Sturcon Way or Ellis Street and
15 East Washington. The detailed traffic study indicates that there would be less of an
16 impact to these intersections if commercial uses were to be developed at this site than if
l 7 residential uses were to occur at this location.
18
19 3. The plan for the proposed Martin Historic Plaza development presents a unified and
20 organized arrangement of buildings and service facilities which are appropriate in
21 relation to adjacent or nearby properties, particularly the existing residents of the multi-
22 family housing to the north of the proposal and commercial uses to the west of the
23 proposal. Adequate landscaping and screening is included. to ensure compatibility with
24 surrounding uses. Conditions have been incorporated requiring design and development
25 standards that are compatible with neighboring developments.
26
27 4. Adequate available public and private spaces are designated on the PUD Development
28 Plan. Through mitigation measures and project conditions, adequate building setbacks
29 and other project amenities are provided.
30

1 The PUD provides for specific design criteria and development .standards, which regulate
2 the proposed development at this site.
3
4 5. The development of the subject Martin Historic Plaza project in the manner proposed by
5 the applicant, and as conditioned, will not be detrimental to the public welfare, will be in
6 the best interests of the City, and will be in keeping with the general intent and spirit of
7 the zoning regulations of the City of Petaluma, with the Petaluma General Plan.
8
9 The project, as conditioned, complies with the applicable provisions of the Municipal
10 Code and the General. Both the Fire Marshal and Engineering Department have prepared
11 conditions of approval to address fire safety issues, and design criteria for the
12 construction of the buildings.
13
14 6. The Martin Historic Plaza project will help the City further the objectives, policies and
15 programs of the Community Character Element of the General Plan to:
16
17 Objectives:
18 (j) Preserve Petaluma's architectural heritage;
19 (k) Retain the unique qualities and. architectural flavor of downtown.
20
21 Programs:
22 (24) Formally identify significant historic buildings and areas.
23 (26) Create one or more historic preservation district(s).
24
25 7. The Martin Historic Plaza project is designed to be compatible with surrounding uses
26 because it will not result in a more intensive use of the land with characteristics that are
27 incompatible with neighboring commercial and multi-family residential uses.
