WHEREAS, currently the Fitness/Health Facility land use is only permitted on Lot 1 of
the Lakeville PCD; and
WHEREAS, on September 27, 2016, the City's Planning Commission held a duly
noticed public hearing, pursuant to Implementing Zoning Ordinance § 19.040(E) and § 19.070, to
consider the Lakeville PCD modification, at which time all interested parties had the opportunity
to be heard; and
WHEREAS, on September 27, 2016, the Planning Commission considered the staff
report dated September 27, 2016, analyzing the application, including the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") determination included therein; and
WHEREAS, on September 27, 2016, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No.
2015-25 recommending the City Council approve the Lakeville PCD modification; and
WHEREAS, on November 07, 2016 after notice thereof having been duly, regularly and
lawfully given, a public hearing was held by the City Council to review the modification to the
Lakeville PCD, where all persons interested had the opportunity to be heard; and,
WHEREAS, public notice was published in the Argus -Courier and mailed to residents
and occupants within 500 feet of the Lakeville PCD area, in compliance with state and local law;
and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
A. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.
B. Based on the staff report, staff presentation, comments received and the public
hearing, the City Council makes the following findings based on substantial evidence
in the record:
Resolution No. 2016-173 N.C.S. Page I
California Environmental Quality Act
1. The Lakeville PCD modification is categorically exempt from the State CEQA
Guidelines and the City of Petaluma Environmental Guidelines per §15061(b)(3)
(Review for Exemption, General Rule) of the CEQA Guidelines, there is no
possibility that the application to modify the Lakeville PCD to include
Fitness/Health Facility as a minor conditional land use may have a significant
effect on the environment.
General Plan
2. The Project is consistent with the Business Park land use designation because the.
project maintains zoning district regulations that support professional offices,
technology park clusters, research and development, light industrial operations,
and visitor service establishments, with retail only as a secondary use.
3. The proposed modification to the Zoning District Regulations of the Lakeville
PCD is, for the reasons discussed in the September 27, 2016 City Council staff
report, consistent with the following Petaluma General Plan policies: Policy 1-P-
2 (use land efficiently by promoting infill development, at equal or higher density
and intensity than surrounding uses), Policy 1-P-7 (Encourage flexibility in
building form and in the nature of activities), Policy 1-P-9 (support continued
development and intensification of employment centers), and Policy 2-P-28
(support infill and intensification of business park/light industrial uses).
Implementin Zoning oning Ordinance
4. The Lakeville PCD modification does not entail new construction, improvements,
or alterations to the layout of existing lots in the business park. The addition of
Fitness/Health Facility as a Minor Conditional Use on Lot 20/21 of the Lakeville
PCD will not, in itself, create additional traffic on thoroughfares serving the area.
5. As a conditional use, the City retains the ability to review Fitness/Health Facility
land use applications that may involve new improvements to ensure compatibility
with existing conditions. Fitness/Health Facilities are currently a primary
permitted land use on Lot 1 of the Lakeville PCD. By including Fitness/Health
Facilities as minor conditional land uses Lot 20/21 of the Lakeville PCD, the
business park will allow greater flexibility in the type of commercial operations
that may operate in the business park and thereby supports Policies 1-P-2 and 1-P-
7 of the General Plan.
6. The Lakeville PCD is an employment node within the City of Petaluma. The
proposed modification to the Lakeville PCD will increase the type of businesses
that may be established within the Lakeville PCD and thereby supports
development and occupancy of existing commercial and industrial space on Lot
20/21 of the business park in support of Policies 1-P-9 and 2-P-28 of the Petaluma
General Plan.
Resolution No. 2016-173 N.C.S. Page 2
7. There is no unique quality to Fitness/Health Facilities, the architecture or the
management thereof, that would prevent or impair such a land use from
complying with applicable site and building design standards outlined in the
Zoning District Regulations for the Lakeville PCD as well as the Petaluma IZO.
The City of Petaluma currently has a number of fitness/health facilities operating
within City limits in industrial and business park conditions.
8. The Fitness/Health Facility land use is currently permitted on Lot 1 of the
Lakeville PCD. Furthermore, other uses that are not strictly industrial,
commercial service, or retail in nature are already permitted as conditional uses
throughout the Lakeville PCD, including Commercial Recreation facilities such as
bowling alleys, arcades, and miniature golf courses. The proposed Minor
Conditional Use on Lot 20/21 will not prevent the Lakeville PCD from serving its
central purpose to promote more harmonious and coordinated industrial
development.
9. Revisions to update terminology and formatting of the Zoning District
Regulations for the Lakeville PCD do not alter the intent, permitted uses,
standards, or guidelines of the document. The revisions improve consistency
between the Zoning District Regulations document and the Petaluma IZO by
standardizing synonymous terms and presenting the Zoning District Regulations
in a clearer format.
C. Based on its review of the entire record herein, including the November 07, 2016 City
Council staff report, all supporting, referenced, and incorporated documents and all
comments received and foregoing findings, the City Council hereby approves the
modification to the Lakeville Business Park Planned Community District to add
Fitness/Health Facility as a Minor Conditional Use on Lot 20/21 as shown in Exhibit
A.
Under the power and authority conferred upon this Council by the Charter of said City.
REFERENCE: I hereby certify the foregoing Resolution was introduced and adopted by the Approved as to
Council of the City of Petaluma at a Regular meeting on the 7`h day of November, form
2016, by the following vote:

the need for any on -street parking; such on -street parking is prohibited on street

to satisfy the intent of this section. All parking areas shall conform to the City of
Petaluma parking ordinance and to the following standards:

as to provide dust -free, all-weather surfaces. Each parking space
provided shall be designated by lines painted upon the paved surface
and shall be adequate in area. All parking areas shall provide, in addition
to parking spaces, adequate driveways and space for the movement of
vehicles which will likewise be so improved. Parking areas shall be
constructed according to plans approved as specified herein and
maintained thereafter in good condition.
