ADOPTION OF A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND APPROVAL OF
CIRCULATION AND PARKING ALTERNATIVE "B" FOR THE WATER STREET
PORTION OF THE PETALUMA RIVER ACCESS AND ENHANCEMENT PLAN
WHEREAS, an Initial Study was prepared and the results of the study indicated that the
proposed project will not cause any significant adverse environmental impacts; and,
WHEREAS, the Petaluma Community Development Commission (PCDC) considered
two Circulation and Parking Alternatives (Alternatives B & E), for the Water Street Portion of
the Petaluma River Access and Enhancement Plan, on September 9, 2002, and considered all
written and verbal communications concerning potential environmental impacts resulting from
the project and the merits of the project before rendering a decision;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the PCDC approves a Mitigated
Negative Declaration and Project Alternative "B" based on the findings below.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
AND THE PROJECT:
1. An Initial Study has been prepared and proper notice provided in accordance with
CEQA and local Guidelines.
2. Based upon the Initial Study and comments received, potential impacts could be
avoided or reduced to a level of insignificance by mitigation measures attached as
conditions of approval. There is no substantial evidence that the project, as
conditioned, would have a significant effect on the environment and the Mitigated
Negative Declaration reflects the lead agency's independent judgment and analysis.
3. A monitoring program has been included to ensure compliance with the adopted
mitigation measures.
4. The project does not have the potential to affect wildlife resources as defined in the
Fish and Game code, either individually or cumulatively and is exempt from Fish and
Game filing fees.
5. The project is not located on a site listed on any Hazardous Waste Site List compiled
by the State pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.
