TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council through City Manager
FROM: Heather Hines, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Introduction of Zoning Text Amendment to the City of Petaluma Implementing
Zoning Ordinance, Ordinance 2300 N.C.S., Table 4.4 (Allowed Land Uses and
Pen -nit Requirements for Commercial, Business Park, and Industrial Zones)
1-17.1vu1-W I
It is recommended that the City Council introduce an Ordinance approving a Zoning Text
Amendment to the City of Petaluma Implementing Zoning Ordinance, Ordinance 2300 N.C.S.,
Table 4.4 (Allowed Land Uses and Pen -nit Requirements for Commercial, Business Park, and
Industrial Zones) to require a Conditional Use Permit for the Recycling Facility use type in the
Industrial (1) and Business Park (BP) zoning districts.
DISCUSSION
Chapter 28 of the Implementing Zoning Ordinance (IZO) defines a "Recycling Facility," as
follows:
"This land use type includes a variety of facilities involved with the collection, sorting and
processing of recyclable- materials. Recyclable materials include reusable domestic containers
and other materials which can be reconstituted, re -manufactured, or reused in an altered
form, including glass, metals, paper and plastic. Recyclable material does not include refuse
or hazardous materials."
Presently, the Recycling Facility use type is permitted in the Business Park (BP) and Industrial
(1) zoning districts by -right, except that a Conditional Use Permit is required if, "part of the
facility is outdoor and adjacent to a sensitive receptor."
The proposed Zoning Text Amendment was initiated by the City of Petaluma in response to a
recent discussion about a potential commercial -scale Recycling Facility located at 879 Lindberg
Lane within the Industrial zone. The recycling facility would have been operated by a
commercial refuse/recycling business providing service to the Town of Windsor. The prospect of
this project raised concerns, on topics such as: (a) proximity of the property to sensitive
receptors; (b) potential for water quality degradation; (c) increase in traffic volumes; (d)
increased maintenance cost on public roads; and (e) an increased greenhouse gas emissions.

On July 11, 2017, the Planning Commission considered. the proposed Zoning Text Amendment
and, after closing the public hearing, voted unanimously to forward an approval recommendation
to City Council. The resolution and I staff report for the Planning Commission meeting are
included at Attachment 2.
To staff's knowledge, there is one Recycling Facility, consistent with the IZO use description,
located within the City limits. The Petaluma Re -Cycling Center is located at 315 Second Street
and, according to their website, they collect, sort and process materials such as aluminum cans,
plastic bottles, glass bottles and paper. This facility is located on an approximate 20,000 square
foot site and excludes collection services (and accompanying fleet of trucks). The site is also
located in the Urban Center (T5) zone and, therefore, subject to the SmartCode (i.e., not IZO
development standards).
To provide opportunity for discretionary review on a case by case basis for this land use, and in
order to address the types of concerns outlined above, it is recommended that IZO Table 4.4 be
revised to require a Conditional Use Permit for the Recycling Facility use in both the Business
Park (BP) and Industrial (1) Zones. The proposed zoning text amendment is consistent with
General Plan policy 10-P-4 which states, in relevant part,
"Minimize the risk to life and property from the production, use, storage, and transportation
of hazardous materials and waste by complying with all applicable State and local
regulations.
(C) Establish special zoning designations and environmental review processes that limit the
location of industry, research, and business facilities using hazardous materials. Require safe
distances between these sites and residential areas, groundwater recharge areas (see Chapter
8: Water Resources), and waterways."
The proposed zoning text amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), which states that CEQA applies
to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The
proposed amendments would not allow, either by -right or through a Conditional Use Permit, for
any new or different land uses. Therefore, the proposed amendments would not cause a
significant effect on the environment.
Public notice was published in an eighth page ad in the Argus Courier on July 6, 2017. No
specific public comment has been received in response to this public notice as of preparation of
this report. Similarly, notice of the July 11th Planning Commission meeting was published in an
eighth page ad in the Argus Courier on June 29, 2017. No public comments were received prior
to the Planning Commission meeting, and no members from the public attended the July I Ith
Planning Commission hearing.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 2017-14
a
Page 7
DATE: July 11, 2017
FROM: Heather Hines, Planning Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7A
SUBJECT: Zoning Text Amendment to the. City of Petaluma Implementing Zoning
Ordinance, Ordinance 2300 N.C.S., Table 4.4 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit
Requirements -for Commercial, Business Park,. and Industrial Zones)
It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending that the City
Council approve a Zoning Text Amendment to the, Implementing Zoning Ordinance, Table 4.4,
to require a Conditional Use Permit for the Recycling Facility use tYPe.in the*Industrial'(1) and
Business Park (13P) zoning districts (Attachment A).
Chapter 28 of the Implementing Zoning Ordinance (IZO) defines a "Recycling Facility," as
follows:
"This land use type includes a variety of facilities involved with the collection, sorting and
processing.of.recyclable materials. Recyclable materials include reusable domestic containers
and other materials which can be reconstituted, re -manufactured, or reused in an. altered
form, including glass, metals, paper and plastic. Recyclable. material does not include refuse
or hazardous materials."
Presently, the Recycling Facility use' e is permitted in the, Business Park (BP) and Industrial
t3T
(1) 'Zoning districts by -right, except that a Conditional Use Permit is required if,. "part of the
facility is outdoor and adjacent to a sensitive receptor."
The proposed. Zoning Text Amendment was,initiated by the City of Petaluma in response to a
recent discussion about a potential commercial- ' scale Recycling Facility locating at 879 Lindberg
Lane. within the Industrial zone. The -recycling facility would have been operated by a
commercial refuse/recycling business providing service to the Town of Windsor. The prospect of
this project raised concerns, including by City Councilmembers, on topics such as: (a) proximity
of the property to sensitive *receptors; (b) potential for water''quality degradation; (c) increase in
traffic volumes; (d) increased maintenance cost on public roads and (e) an increased greenhouse
,a-7

gas emissions.
To staff's knoWledRe, there is one Recycling Facility, consistent with the IZO use description,
located within the city limits. The Petaluma Re -Cycling Center is located at 315 Second Street
and, according to their Website, they collect, sort and process materials such as aluminum cans,
plastic bottles, glas's bottles and paper. This facility is located on an approximate 20,000- square
foot site and excludes collection services- (and accompanying fleet of ti-ucks). The site is also
located. in the Urban Center (T5) zone . and, therefore, subject to the SmartCode (i.e., not'IZO
development, standards).
To provide opportunity f6r discretionary review on a case by case basis for this land -use and in
order to address the types of concerns outlined above, it is recommended that IZO Table 4.4 ' be
revised to require a Conditional Use Permit for the 'Recycling Facility use in both the Business
Park (13P) and Industrial (1) Zones. A draft resolution recommending the City Council make this
change is included at Attachment A..A redline version of the change is also included at
Attachment B.
The proposed zoning text amendment is consistent with General Plan policy 10-P-4 which states,
in relevant part,
"Minimize the risk to life and property from the production, use, storage, and transportation
of hazardous materials and waste by complying with. all. applicable State and local
regulations.
(C) Establish special zoning designations and environmental review processes that Limit the
location of industry, research, and business facilities using hazardous materials. Require safe
distances between these sites and residential areas, groundwater recharge areas (see Chapter
8: Water Resources), and waterways."
The proposed zoning text amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality*
Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), which states that CEQA applies
to project -which have the potential for causing a significant. effect on the environment. The
proposed amendments would not allow, either by -right or through a Conditional Use Permit, for
any new or different land uses. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty the proposed amendments'
would not cause'a significant effect on the environment.
Public notice was published in an eighth page ad in the Argus Courier on June 29, 2017. No
specific public comment has been received in response to this public. notice as of preparation of
this report.
