3 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PETALUMA AS
4 FOLLOWS:
5
6 Section 1. Findings. Pursuant to Implementing Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 25, based on
7 the Historic and Cultural Preservation Committee /Planning Commission's recommendation, City
8 staff report and public hearing, the City Council adopts the Zoning Text Amendments, as
9 described above and set forth herein, based on the findings made below:
10
11 1. The proposed amendment to the Implementing Zoning Ordinance Chapter 15 to
12 clarify and modify the review authority of the Historic and Cultural Preservation
13 Committee and Planning Commission is consistent with the reconstituted Historic and
14 Cultural Preservation Committee and requirements of the Certified Local
15 Government Program and implements the Chapter 3 of the Petaluma General Plan.
16 2. The proposed text amendments to IZO Chapter 15 are consistent with the following
17 General Plan policies and programs: Program 3 -P -1 -F (Pursue CLG Status), Program 3-
18 P -1 -1- (Historic Preservation Theory and Practice), Program 3 -P -2 -E (Advantages of
19 CLG Program), Policy 3 -P -4 (Appreciation for Petaluma's Cultural Heritage), Program
20 3 -P -4 -D (Opportunities for Education), Program 3 -P -5 -13 (Compliment Historic
21 Preservation Goals),
22 3. The proposed Zoning Text Amendment is consistent with the public necessity,
23 convenience and general welfare because it will enhance the city's ability to
24 preserve cultural and historic resources, preserve the unique attributes of Petaluma
25 that create a sense of unique identity for residents and visitors alike, and to improve
26 and facilitate participation and understanding of preservation.
27 4. The requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) have been
28 satisfied through the determination that no physical development is proposed as part
29 of the code modifications to reconstitute the HCPC. California Environmental Quality
30 Act (CEQA) Section 21065 defines, in relevant part, a "project," as, "an activity which
31 may cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably
32 foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment." In considering whether the
33 project would result in any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical changes to the
34 environment, staff concluded, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064, that it
35 does not constitute a project and is therefore, not subject to CEQA.
36 Section 2. Implementing Zoning Ordinance Chapter 15 is hereby amended as shown in
37 Exhibit A.
38 Section 4. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to
39 any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the ordinance, including the
40 application of such part or provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected
41 thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. To this end, provisions of this ordinance are
42 severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section,
43 subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase hereof irrespective of the fact
Ordinance No. 2597 N.C.S. Page 2
1 that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or
2 phrases be held unconstitutional, invalid, or unenforceable.
3 Section 5. This ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after the date of its
4 adoption by the Petaluma City Council.
5 Section 6. Posting /Publishing of Notice. The City Clerk is hereby directed to post and /or
6 publish this ordinance or a synopsis of it for a period and in the manner required by the City
7 Charter.

Exhibit A
Chapter 15 Preservation of the Cultural and Historic Environment
15.010 — Purpose
It is hereby found that structures, sites and areas of special character of special historic, architectural or
aesthetic interest or value have been and continue to be unnecessarily destroyed or impaired, despite
the feasibility of preserving them. It is further found that the public health, safety, and welfare require
prevention of needless destruction and impairment, and promotion of the economic utilization and
discouragement of the decay and desuetude of such structures, sites and areas. The purpose of this
Chapter is to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the public through:
A. The protection, enhancement, perpetuation, and use of buildings, structures, sites, objects, and
districts, including archaeological sites, that are reminders of past eras, events, and persons
important to local, state, or national history, or which provide significant examples of
architectural styles of the past or area landmarks in the history of architecture, or which are
unique and irreplaceable assets to the City and its neighborhoods, or which provide for this and
future generations examples of the physical surroundings in which past generations lived.
B. The development and maintenance of appropriate settings and environments for such
structures.
C. The enhancement of property values, the stabilization of neighborhoods and areas of the City,
the increase of economic and financial benefits to the City and its inhabitants, and the
promotion of tourist trade and interest.
D. The enrichment of human life in its educational and cultural dimensions by serving aesthetic as
well as material needs and fostering knowledge of the living heritage of the past.

25
26 15.070 - Review of Applications to Construct, Alter, or Demolish Designated Structures or Structures in
27 Designated Areas
A. Standards for Review. When evaluating applications, the Historic and Cultural Preservation
Committee shall use the California Register of Historic Resources criteria outlined in Section
15.060(A)(1 -4), the Secretary of the Interiors Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for
Rehabilitating Historic Buildings, and shall consider the architectural style of the building, design,
arrangement, relationship to surrounding buildings and historic character of the area, texture,
materials, color, and any other pertinent factors. Applications shall not be approved unless:
1. Landmark Sites. The proposed work shall not adversely affect the exterior architectural
characteristics or other features of the landmark, and, where specified in the
designating ordinance for a publicly owned landmark, its major interior architectural
features, nor adversely affect the character or historical, architectural, or aesthetic
interest or value of the landmark and its site.
Historic Districts. The proposed work shall not adversely affect the exterior
architectural characteristics or other features of the property which is the subject of the
application, nor adversely affect its relationship in terms of harmony and
appropriateness with its surroundings, including neighboring structures, nor adversely
affect the character, or the historical, architectural, or aesthetic interest or value of the
district. In addition, applications shall be consistent with standards included in the
designating ordinance.
15.080 - Showing of Hardship in Cases of Proposed Alteration, Demolition, or Construction
51 If the applicant presents facts clearly demonstrating to the satisfaction of the authorized reviewing
52 body that failure to approve the application will cause immediate and substantial hardship because of
53 conditions peculiar to the particular structure or other features involved and not created by an act of
Ordinance No. 2597 N.C.S. Page 9
1 the owner, the reviewing body may approve such application even though it does not meet the
2 standards set forth in either this chapter or designating ordinance. In this context, personal, family or
3 financial difficulties, loss of prospective profits and neighboring violations are not justifiable hardships.
4 The reviewing body may require the applicant to provide documentation, such as structural engineering
5 reports, verifying hardship.
6
7 15.090 — Director Referral to Historic and Cultural Preservation Committee
8 The Director may refer other projects which are not designated as landmarks or which are not located

however, that if final action on the designation has not been completed one hundred
eighty (180) days after initiation of designation proceedings, the permit application may
be approved.

appearance of the structure involved, may be performed pursuant to this section. In the event
