At its January 9, 2017 mecting the 111anning Commission considered the I)rojjCut ZIL a noticed

of 4 to 3 for the Amer dnients to the PCD Rcgalations and a vote o -I-`6 to I For the Running of
Deriny'sa No conditions Nverc added by the Planning Commission to either resolution
(Allachnients 5 and 0).
Thirteen people spoke durino public comment at (lie Planning Commission mecting on this item.

conditional uses within the Rancho Arroyo Pt -.'I) and more specifically for the PVAC property
would I'C,Lllt in file CIIIIIIS CIOS-illg.

A numNi, of'specific concerns were expressed that as church anwor School Occupying thQ, PVAC
facility would tic less desirable than mnoinumf ofIemdoti of the GO or could pose impacts
greator than the existing use such as traffic and loss ol'City reverittes. Other speakers included
the two owners, cjfPVAC and the Mef Firtmicial Officer ofthe (Aub who spoke aboUt CO-OrtS (()
tnakc the Cloh sell'-swst;iiniug, and efforts to sell it to another local Club, and about the, inability to
continue to operalc PVAC at as financial loss. Several speakers indicated that if PVAC is uriable
to runain in business, having anoln comnaMy type imer in 14, space, such as as chimoll and/or
a school. would be pre-fiarable to having it torri dm,\,ri,
.During deliberation and ultimately Ow vote cm the. itern, the nizajority of the planning
Cornaiission I -bund the following:
* The addition of conditional tins at 85 (Ad Corona Road retains the ability 11or PVAC' to
remain in operation,
* The addition of (lie conditional uses of Community Mccting Facility and School at the
pVAC site WOUld
0 Increase the likelihood of the cnisting hulls: kg being reused rather than demolished
(,.supporting General Plan Policy 1-11-7), and
0 Ilave minimal im,pact to the Business Park as it whole becausc the parcol is
physieully separatcd fi-om the rest of the business part<, arid becausc tic: parccl has
never operated as as business park use (the ClUb predates approval of the business
Pat),
However, three Planning Commissioners opposed the rcconimendalion based on one or more of
tile lollowing reasons:
• Preference that, if the Mh1dic Club closes, reuse of the propely be as a business park Ilse
already listed by (lie Rancho Arroyo 1"CD
• Concern that a1 non -Profit such as as church actilring the larkeay would result in loss of'
(74); teveruics
• Prelercrice that as ('1111 with all pi-qject details regarding the specific church and school be.
considered c-oricurmntly with the PCD amendment
• Concern that 85 Old Corona Road may not be a good location for as school, and that
hsdng school as a condihonally permitted LtSe may imply aNnoval tear- Sure use
No concern or opposition was noted regarding the other aspects of file [I(-']) amendment or the
Reof-lingofthe Dently's parcel action, both ofwhich are inn re house -keeping in nature.

In addition to Conimunity Meeting Facility avid School being listed as a con( fitimial use,,A (tic
lmkjorily of"parculs in tile City, it is especially relevant that hath arc listed as conditional uses

was created 111 1983, there was not a "Business llavfc zoning district option in the Zoning
Ordinance. If as development area envisioned itself riot as an 0111CC al -W ala-arae111CILIS1.601 MVU,

Zoning Or dinatice
U'lien the R.-uncho Arroyo Business Park IICD was adoptal in 1983, there was not a BUSiuCSS
Park zoning district. Ifus, the Rancho Arroyo PCO was based off" the Light Industrial zoning
district, modified to rest -tit in a "iliore harmonious and coordinated industrial deveklmnent" with
at Business Park ationlation. The conventional zoning designation ol"Business Park" was first
emuted in 21MS, to coincide with the General Plan &SWuliti011 OfFILBineSS Park. Co,nsistent with
this proposal, Conlmitfnill! ;Vfeeiing 1,,acili�y and Sihool are Sted ,;is Conditional Uscs within the
IZO's Business Park designation,

I am unable to attend the 1/10/2017 meeting for the above zoning amendment, I have concerns that
the addition of a chUrCh/86001 to the PGD will drastically siow and congest morning and afternoon
traffic on Corona Road and other roadways.
Why did the EIR not cover this in the transpoilation/traffic analysis?
Please add rnv concerns to the public opinion that will be given at the 111/20,17. 1 also want to submit
comments and concerns that the meeting notice was issued during the holiday week between
Christmas and New Years Eve and that only addressees within 500 feet of PVAC were given notice,
1 -his zoning amendment will impact one of the three roadways that Gross the city of Petaluma in the
east/west direction. I'm sure if this iSSUC was given proper public notification, the Outcome would not
be so profitable for the Domont Group and Would have a more favorable outcome for cottimuters,

Re; Conditional Use Permit for 85 Corona RO@Cl - PelaIL1111a Valley Athlok Club (P AC)
Doar Ks, Robbe and Petaluma Planning Commission,
I am writing to object to the change in zoning to allow the additional uses of a school
and/or church to the parcel at 85 Corona Road, now occuped by Petilunia, Valloy
Athletic Club (PVAG).
Not only will SLICII additional Lyses greatly aggravate the Current driving conditions on
Corona Road (I of only 3 heavily UtillZed cross-town connectors), but also impact traffic
mostly during peak commuter driving times in the mornings and late afternoons. The
waiting times to turn left or right from InclUstrial onto Corona (or left from Corona onto
Indnstnal) can be lengthy now and I would not be surprised to learn it the intersection
was prone to more than a few accidents, With the addition of a school, the traffic would
be, unbearable.
FLII'tlIP_rM0rC, I object to a change in the current use altogether, PVAG has been a
V,'!IIUOCJ COMMUnity resource for decades and, if possible, should rernain a socially
oriented health facility, Generations of local families, both members and non-niernbers
alike, have created rnernories, learned to swing, play tennis and racquetball, attended
summar camps, barbeq_Ues, and cornrhUnity events, such as non-profit fundraisers, craft
fairs, etc. The social benefits cannot be understated, Much more personal arid
comfortable than a coffee shop or restaurant/bar, IVAC is a positive, local gathering
Place for all Petalurnans to connect with their community. Please help save this highly
valued asset by derrying additional uses of school or church and exploring all options to
continue as a social and recreational health facility,
Thank you for your firne and consideration!
Sincerely,

I arra writing to object to the issuance of any additional Conditional Use permits for 85 aid
Corona Road. My belief is that any changes in zoning related to this property will be
detrimental to the welfare of Petaluma residents.
PVAC operates as a Commercial Recreational Facility providing tennis courts, racquetball
courts and a swimming pool. Other programs are offered as well but the primary identky of
PVAC is that of a recreational facility, There is no other tennis Club in Petaluma. The nearest
ones are Rolling Hills in Novato which is -10 inifes away and La Cantera in Santa Rosa
which is 16 miles away,
By moving forward with the recommendations of your staff to add two new Conditional Uses
to the property at 85 Old Corona Road, you will virtually ensure that Petaluma will no longer
have a racquet club. The expansion of conditional uses is being sought for the purpose of
converting the facility to something other than a Commercial Recreational Facility. And such
a change will be devastating to the members of PVAC and detrimental to Petaluma.
Only by preserving the current, and very limited Conditional Uses, does it help ensure that
the property at 86 Corona Road continues to provide recreational facilities including tennis
and racquetball. We objeict to any change in the Condition Uses including adding
"fitness/health facility" to the conditional uses Insofar as that, would also dirnillish the
likelihood that future owners would continue to maintain the tennis courts and racquetball
Courts. We urgo you to maintain the Commercial Recreational Facility designation ill arder
to help ensure that Petaluma continues to provide residents with a raCqUet club, swimming
pool and ensures that residents can continue to enjoy the only such facility within a ten mile
radius,
Petalurna has had competitive tennis teams playing at 85 Corona Road since 1998. During
that time 99 teams have gone to league championships. It has a history and it has a unique
role to play in this community, For Many Of LIS, PVAC is aur primary connection to the
Petall.101cl community. We are proud of our teams (win or lose) and love representing our
H
town. In addition, the few public tennis courts in Petaluma couldn't possibly absorb the
people who now play on the seven, lighted courts at PVAG.,
Without PVAC, there would be no PVAC tennis teams for the first time since -1998. It would
be a loss to the PVAC community and r it Would also be an economic loss for the city of
Pe,talurna because tennis would become yet another thing that requires leaving town for,
Many Of LIS play three or rnore times a week all year round and each of U)ose trips to PVAC
is an opportunity to purchase goods and services in Petaluma. To buy gas in Petaluma, To
buy gifts in PetalUrna.To get groceries in Petaluma. To check Out now restaurants in
Potalunla.
Without PVAC, many of us would find another club to join so that we could continue to enjoy
being part of a team with a clubhouse for socializing and coming together with OLJr
tearnmates and that would r-nean that we'd be driving to another town several times a week
to play tennis. This Would have a negative impact on those of us driving and a negative
economic effect on Petaluma.
Instead of doing our grocery shopping in Petaluma, we might be buying our groceries in
Santa Rosa or Novato. We'd be buying a whole lot wore gas but not 'IlWaYS from to Petaluma
gas station. We'd have many more options for buying gifts and merchandise in the many
shops unit of town since we'd he there anyway- Why be limit to Petaluma shops when You
drive right by Montgomery Village two or three tirries a week?
Another econoi-nic impact for Petaluma relates to hosting our tennis matches, Since 1998,
there have been at least 2,730 US,I1r A matches played at PVAC, Since 2003, there have
been an additional 500 SNI` WTL (aka the Ladies League) matches played at PVAG. Each of
these matches brings at least 9-12 People to Petaluma to play tennis..
In other words, between USTA and SNMWTL alone, PVAC tennis has brought approximately
32,000 out-of-towners to Petaluma to play tennis and we can all attest to the number of times
our opponents have stated that they are-, going into town after the match to go shopping, oat
in one of our restaurants, or enjoying PetalUMA in v)m(-, other way.
In addition, at the end of each season, the captains are usually presented with a gift from the
mornbers of the team ono this is nimost universally a gift certificate from a Petaluma
business, That's another several hundred gifts purchased in Petaluma because of PVAC.
Besides the economic impact of taking away the ClUb and forcing many Of LIS to spend mare
time in Santa Rosa or Novato, the loss of the only racquet club in town also reduces the
unique attractiveness of Petaluma, For many people looking to relocate, Petaluma orfors
many appealing elements and having racquot club is certainly one thing that (listing UiShes
it from Sebastopol, Rohnett Park, Guerneville, and Sonoma,
We urge you to deny the request to expand the pernlifted uses of the property at 85 01 dr
Corona Road to help unsure that this unique Venue Will continue to Offer 8 Service that is not
available anywhere else in Petalurnaa
By denying this reCILIOSt, YOU will have helped prevent the devastating effect of PVAC being
closed which will sever a critical and unique source of connection to the Petaluma community
for the 1000 PVA C members.
By denying this request, you will also preserve the economic benefit that accrues from this
unique recreational facility and will help ensure that Petaluma rernains a well-rounded
community that has something for eveiyono in this increasingly diverse population,

helped our two young daughters become water -friendly and safe throughout several surnmors of swim

I was troubled to learn of the offer from a local church to buy the property. I Understand there is as hearing

Dear Planning Commissioners:
I am writing to voice my objection to the proposed zoning amendment and Conditional
Use Permit changing the use of the Petaluma Valley Athletic Club, also known as PVAC,
to a church and a school.
The current zoning does not allow the use of a church and school. There are several
reasons to reject the change in zoning and the Conditional Use Permit. These reasons
include the loss of the community's only tennis and racquetball courts in town, flooding
issues, parking problems and the significant traffic impacts to one of the few crosstown
connectors in Petaluma.
I writethis letter With some reservation. I am a current mernber of PVAC who has played
wallyball in the racquetball courts on most Monday nights since 1994. My children
learned to swim in the pool and my family uses the facility for exercise several days a
week, where we have made some Of Our closest friends. I consider the owners, Rob
and Martha Domont, longtime friends of ours after they purchased the club. They are
good, supportive community members who worked hard to revive the health Club frorn
its run-down condition when they bought it. I respect them and wish thern success in
their business. I appreciate their desire to take a step towards retirement with what is
probably a generous offer from the church based on the development potential of the
property under a rezoning,
WyAlowl', "A
TOM IMMEMEEMMIMM111
The Petaluma Valley Athletic Club is the only health club facility with tennis and
racquetball courts in Petaluma, Its closure Would be a significant loss, lessening
the qual4 of life in Petaluma, and its community health and activity. In recent
years it cited a membership of more than 1,000 members, PVAC was until
recently the only modern health club in town. Even with two other health Clubs
constructed in Petaluma in the past few years, RVAC appears to be a vibrant
club requiring the use of an overflow gravel parking lot leased from the city. What
makes PVAC different from the other health clubs in town is seven lighted tennis
courts and three inside courts for racquetball, handball arid wallyball, No other
facility in town has any tennis or racquetball COUrts. The Junior Racquetball
program at PVAC started in 1998 and has helped put Petaluma on the map, with
four current National Champions and one World Champion, Heather Mahoney,
recognized by the Petaluma City Council in 2016.
The club already doesn't have enough parking for Its current members. The 360
Church's plans to demolish the tennis courts and build a private school and large
church facility. The church's current location is in the warehouse district, and its
Harvest Christian School population has doubled in recent years to 160 Students,
kindergarten through eighth grade, The 360 Church wants to expand its student
Population, even adding a high school.
I ur 101 ui I M =aiul 117 11711 dbi 7 or a r7,231-117 T
a church and a scho.l, The city is told the rnaln use of the site at this time is for
Sunday morning service as a church, The tennis courts would be demolished to
construct a campus to move Harvest Christian School to the site in the future.
There is no mention in the city staff report of the impact of the school the Church
wishes to build on the site, other than to allow for the rezoning and take upthe
impact later. There are no evaluation of the traffic, parking, or flooding impacts of
such a school or for the special events at the Church, I disagree with the staff
report when it states there is no possibility the rezoning would have a significant
effect on the environment.
City staff suggests it would allow an "evolution" in use for the site, from a tennis
and racquetball club to a church and school. If the building was vacant or if the
business was struggling, the language of an evo]V!Flg use might make SernSe.
However, the health club appears to be a viable business so the Idea of creating
an evolution in the zoning doesn't make sense. Maybe PVAC will go the way of
Adobe Creek Golf Course and eventually shutter its doors, or another use may
be required, but as the only tennis and racquetball facility in town that doesn't
appear to be the case. There have been no meetings informing members of that
possibility,
The future development of the property may reduce the effectiveness of the city's
multi-million dollar investment in the Petaluma River flood control project, a joint
venture between the city of Petaluma and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
There is already a flooding problem at the PVAC location. The parking lot
regularly floods during heavy storm systems, and the Club has used sand bags at
top of Its steps to protect the building, Most recently the club was closed on
Sunday due to flooding, The health club building has a small footprint, Th. test of
the land is undeveloped, with a pool, tennis courts and a basketball court, all
SUrrounded by lawn and gravel areas. It may not be an appropriate location for
future development. The Church intends on tearing out the tennis courts and
developing the remaining four acres, That could mean less undeveloped land tot,
absorption, or to act as retention ponds, which uneans it could create more
flooding to other businesses and residences along the Petaluma River.
I IMMUNE!. 00, -4
Future traffic may be worse if the rezoning is allowed. A school and church at tll--.
PVAC location would add to the traffic frustration of ■. citizens, creating
possible gridlock during certain hours and pushing more traffic onto the other
overcrossings. The traffic gridlock that developed during the construction of the
new overpass at Old Redwood Highway shows how dependent the city is on
Corona Road. The gridlock will only get worse with 30 crossings each weekday
for the new SMART train service and development of the Corona Reach with a
train station, the Brody housing development and future infill, There could be
safety concerns, The Corona Road overcrossing, has only one lane in each
direction, Any gridlock makes it difficult for emergency vehicles from the
Petaluma Police Department or Petaluma Valley Hospital to pass over Corona
■ to respond to emergencies at Kenilworth Junior High School, Cinnabar
Elementary School or other locations.

to save it. The school was $150.000 ill debt io as bm* in Kansas and they did not even
have the nioncy to pay the teachers what was owed Ilitit surnmer in 2005,
T'he follow In dav I wrotc a letter to the bank in Kansas askino them to forgive the debt

I)elicvcd I could build a good sc.hool. At the time I \wis a sales rep making $1%000 a
year and at the height. ol'nay career. I decided to qnit and help the school, Imancing
myself the first year. The sccond year the enrollment began to grow and I was mmucd the
I,XCCLI(iVC DiFCCtOt, I hired. a principal and stal.T. as needed.
The first vear everything was going great Lintil we weeived as letter from 1he Baptist
Church that we were renting froin. Tficy were not going to ex(elld mil. lQme and Willited
Lis to leave immediately. At that point in 21006, the school was paying $j,800 ni(:)nihly

Kim and Michael mentioned as man named Jim Happ who had some availabic, space and

owner. Jim f)crrybct-i-y arid lie. ended tip renting us the spne al, 3700 Lakeville I 1\vy,
Kim, Nfichael and I rushed through as CUP and I did a $ 1 million remodel in 52 days for
S, 100,000 that I had raised (110 WCCh IICI'01-0 With 1111,11tilAC failli I iCS it] the CO III M III) I ty
helping accomplish this. To this day it is lino vii as (lie, 52 -day miracle of Harvest
Christian School. I lowever, Kim, Nlicllacl, tile I kIrvo:st Bom'd and rnyselfalways
belicved, that this was as temporary place since Lakeville flighway can be as bit pivcarious
and it was ill as commercial building. Since 2006, 1 have, continued to look, roc as
permanent facility.
In 2009 T started 360 (111.11 -Ch OfTetalutila and resigned my position Its Executive Director
at the school. The school had. a great 121'01.11) 01, Staff alld board rnunhus over it.
I lowever, I did remain oil the FXeCtltiVe Board for the BUilding Corujillucc frying;. to find
it permanent solution- Ill 2012 1 received as $1.6 nilillon donation :liar the church to buy
the old Norflibay Constnuction propeily (879 & 901 Lindberg La ale & 431 Pavran St.)
and helleved this would solve all the problems. I planned to bring the school there, but it
ended up that zoning WOUld [lot permit as school. *file church did moverorward with the
purchase, but Harvest remained ill ',,I tOLI-h SitUati011 paying,$'22,000 as month For rent, We
knew it vvould not be sustainable.
This past year., I was a pproac lied by as fricild who believed that the Petaluma Valley
Athletic Ch -ib nii--,,ht be a good fit, for the school. I ptirsued that lot- Ow school, but the
SC11001 coUld riot aff'ord it oil their own. Considering that the city Would not likv me

Below is listed what 360 Leadership would be willing to do to receive an
amendment and CUP for a school and a Church at 85 Old Corona Road.
We currently are selling three properties at the following price,,;:
431 Payran Street for 4.4 million dollars
LEEMLMMMM=
901 Liudberg Lane for 1.6 million dollars
Two of these properliesare Currently under n0o-PrOfit status and the city does not
receive property tax from them, We Would be willing to concede to not sell those -
three properties to another tax exemption non-profit company,
Below is a general overview of [lie taX Lluestion that many PVAC menibers have
brought tip as a reason to oppose this project.
Rob and Martha Domont purchased Petahu-na Valley Athletic Club SOMMIICIT in the
late nineties for around a million dollars. If we sell roughly 10 miltion, dollars of
property that enters back into the tax base, not to mention the company or
companies that purchase the properties will also bring other revemie streatris to the
city, and in return We PUrChd.Se the Doniont's property for around) million dollars
and receive a Church to exemption, that would yield a 4 million dollar property tax
increase to the city.
Also, the ftict that we occupy 7 acres of prime industrial property that would return
back to the industrial zone for industrial uses which we know the city would like to
have becaUSO of the lack of industrial space available in Petaluma.
Harvest Christian School also occupies 18,000 square feet of prince, office location on
Lakeville Highway.The owner does not receive a tax exemption on the SC11001, but

Dear Mr. Irving;
Aft0chl11cl-if 7,13
As requested, W -Trans has completed a preliminary comparison of the potential trip generation associated with
the proposed 360 Church as compared to the existing Petaluma Valley Athletic Club that is located at 85 Old
Corona Road,
p.m. peak hour. The proposed conversion of the athletic club to a church use is therefore expecte to result in
On fw�e�L�
t #2-n6im-
i`ewer p.m. peak hour trips, The trip generation comparison is indicated In Table 1.
Note, ksf -1,000 square feet of building area
Because the project is expected to result in fewer trips on the roadway network than currently exist, it can
reasonably be expected to have a less than significant, and in fact beneficial, Impact on traffic and circulation.
Thank you for giving W -Trans the opportunity to provide these services. Please call if you have any questions.

Dear Council Member,
Por us, you can imagine, how this is one of the most important letters we have ever written, so
please excuse its length. Martha and I are the current owners of the property at 85 Old Corona
Road (PVAC). We wanted to be clear with that we are supportive of the modification to our PCD
Zoning that the Planning Commission recomrnended for approval at the March 6- meeting. We
are hopeful that the City Council will grant their request and approve a change to the Rancho
Arroyo PCD zoning regulations to add Church and School to the list of conditional uses for our
property.
As You may recall in 1998 we went in search of a business to buy to create a future and a source
of retirement for L15 and to find a business where we could help others in need. When we came
upon Rancho Arroyo, it was in a deplorable condition, 4 months behind in the mortgage and
was about to go into bankruptcy. We knew immediately that this was the business we wanted
to take on and that Petaluma was the town where we wanted to dedicate ourselves to growing
our future and helping others. We purchased the business and property with the Bank allowing
us to assume the current loan and borrowing money from our family. We took a membership of
tinder 300 and grew it to over 1,000 over the coming years. We are family-oriented people and
we treated everyone who walked in like family, providing a safe environment for people of all
ages, to live a healthy lifestyle. We worked 14 hour days, 7 days a week for years to make our
drearn a reality while helping others. We know that we have saved lives, made people happier,
gave them a safe refuge and paid Our good fortune back in every way we could think of to
individuals and our Petaluma community. We have offered free memberships for any individual
going through cancer treatment as a haven to float in the pool or take exercise classes or a
place to get Out of their own house for a while. We have had countless birthday parties,
receptions and memorials, as well as raising money for individuals and groups, even as recent
as the fire victims by the Washington Street exit to 101. In 2014 we were Proud to be named
Small Business of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce, where we shared with other
honorees that were also PVAC members and friends, such as Jude Prokoff, Henry Lasky, Cas
Banaszak, and the President of the Chamber of Commerce at the time, Tony Sarno,
A few years prior to this, we held out hope as the community got together to keep corporate
bookstores such as Barnes and Noble and Borders out of town to protect Copperfield's that this
same support Would be forthcoming for us as well. When Club One was approved, we knew
that it would only be a matter of time before other clubs Would carne to Petaluma as well. We
knew that two or more clubs in town could not support the financial levels that were necssary
to maintain profitability for Our type of business. This knowledge was confirmed when Club One
becarne Active and then was bought by St, Joseph's Health. When City Sports opened their
doors at a price of $35 a month, although our fees were grossly under market for a four -acre
Club with so many activities, we lost more and more members to the cheaper club in town. As
we stated at the Planning Commission hearing, we have tried for almost two years to find
another buyer. We spoke to a number of individuals and a number of big club operators, both
regional and local to see if there was any interest in our, property. Not one was interested, not
one person or group, as the competition with the Big Box Clubs was too Much. We also
M
discussed this with various nae rnbers of PVAC that were interested in making it a morriber-
owned club.'rbe discussion quickly ended when no one was able or willing to guarantee a
mortgage and investment. It is a great idea, but financially not a practical one. There has not
been one car dealership that has expressed interest in our property either. Since the Planning
Cormilission meeting there have been three different P VAC members inquiring about
purchasing the property to keep it an athletic facility, None of them had the financial ability or
desire to proceed. I do know of some looking at the Old Adobe Golf Course as a possible
.Solution for a club, of which we have been very SLJPPOI'tiVP-. Since the Planning Commission
meeting on January 10,,^, and even before as knowledge of this possibility becarile Public
information, our business has been financially impacted in a very negative way, with people
leaving, prospective members not joining and staff looking for other jobs and leaving too, It has
enhanced our feeling that there is no other alternative for us than to support the sale of this
property. We cannot see any other alternative than to sell this property to the Church if the
City Council will allow them to have a zoning, addition to include Church and School as
conditional uses on our property. If the proposed changes do not pass, we do not know what
we will do after 19 years of serving Petaluma and helping it to be as better City than whet) we
arrived, One thing we do know is that it will be devastating to us.
We Would like to add Our thoughts Oil some of the opinions that were brought LIP at the
Planning Commission meeting, Although traffic does not have anything to do with this request
to list additional conditional uses at our property, we think it is important to note that when
Staff stated the current traffic usage of 1650 arrivals per week, this was based on a visit list with
as membership of under 1000 adults. This was based on membership numbers in the Fall, one of
the slower months of the year for our business. This was a number that was also based on the
lowest number of memberships that the club has experienced in over a decade; in recent years
MVAC had a membership of over twice that number. Additionally, Our visit list does not include
the vast number of visitors that came, to the Club for daily events such as tennis matches,
camps, swim lessons, and guests, where most would be driving in cars with only one person in
them and most coming between the hours of 8:30 to 1pn-i. Although camps and swims lessons
were mostly, but not exclusively field in the summer months, we can assure You that the
weekly usage was well over 2,000 to 2,500 vehicle arrivals per week, mostly Monday through
Friday, With all of the traffic we created there was never a complaint to our business or to nay
knowledge to the City about the amount of traffic at tile Club. For the Church, and if there is a
school, the vast majority of traffic., which is considerably less than what has been there in the
past, would still be less than today. It should also be noted that there will be a reduction of
traffic on Lakeville Highway, the school's current location, where the roads are heavily
impacted with traffic and will be more so as new development is completed in that area. In the
end, however, that is not really the point now as this is just about an addition to the current
zoning.
This brings up a very important issue, that although it was discussed that there may be or
Would be an application down the road for a Conditional Use permit for a school, that is not
what was in front of the Planning Commission or will be in front of the City Council at this tit -no.
As we are all aware, this is strictly an addition to the zoning to add Church and School to the
existing use of conditional uses at PVAC, nothing more or nothing less.
We would hope we can all agree that schools are a positive asset for any COMMUnity. There is
an opinion that this is not a good place for a school, which seers a subjective opinion based
mostly either frons a prejudice against the closure of the Club or perhaps against organized
religion or maybe it is just personal for those that will be affected by this vote. This community,
as well as all com rnu Ili ties, needs public and private schools and places where values and
positive traits can be taught to our community and future generations. By having a valuable
asset such as this in the community it can only raise property values and create a better
community, in general. of course, there are some that do not want it in their area, similar to
people wanting low-income housing or a halfway houses for those in need, just not in their
neighborhood, We think it is important to realize that this group has been looking for a location
to build a positive faith based Church and School that has the samegeneral principles that we
have had all these years operating as a Health Club. Please remember that the Club was at this
location in 1987, before any of the other buildings or car dealerships. There is a school on
Industrial just a few blocks north of our property, To my knowledge there is no objection frorn
Henry Hansel and could possibly be great benefit and increased income to the City as well if this
project is to be allowed.
if there is a consideration of a loss of property tax revenue, the property tax that will come to
the City from the sale of the current Church's two properties in another Industrial area on the
south side of town will equal or surpass the amount of revenue that is paid to the City currently
by PVAC. Therefore, we believe that this is not a viable reason to reject the application for a
change in zoning simply to include a Church and School.
The rnain opponent to this is a longtime club member of PVAC who does not want the club to
change USage'r as there is not another location for him that allows his form of exercise. This
individual wrote to me that he was objecting to this because he felt it was not a good place for
a Church. When I wrote him back, I asked hinl One Simple question, "If your best friends owned
the Club would you still be objecting to this? He never replied. It makes US wonder about the
veracity of his intent.
In closing, we want to say that we have loved the hard work and positive results that we have
created over the last 19 year's in Petaluma, with Your help and the help of so many cithers. This
is not what we had hoped would happen, but the business climate and corporate competition
that corner with growth has changed the playing field. It is nothing new, but this time it is
obviously personal. We need your help and ask that the zoning addition of a Church and .School
be allowed, as this location will prove to be not only the only location available, but the best
suited space, as well. We understand that some, would think it better if the Church and school
were in a neighborhood filled with homes and sidewalks so people could walk to the facility,
but the true reality is that people do not walk any more- T'hey drive cars, as children have after
school events such as soccer, baseball and ballet. Tirne 5ct)edL)Iil7g for this generation of
children is packed and well arganized, as we all have other places to go and things to get done,
and even more so for those with more than one child. This property is close to the highway to
help mitigate, street traffic away from neighborhoods where any traffic is not optimum for
homeowners. it would be nice to see this beautiful area with a number of large growth
Redwoods on the property and an institution that brings a positive environment to our
community stay intact.
What is truly the question in front of you is that Our 4 -acre property has been used since 1978
to provide a safe place for individuals, couples and farnllie5 of Petalurria residents to enjoy a
healthy lifestyle. A place where people of all ages learned about different aspects of life be it
sports, health, or even the baby5itting we did with education in mind, not watching television
or playing video games, We helped others and were a resource for the patrons of this City. Now
that we can no longer have this ClUb here, it would seem that this group will keep the Soul Of
this location as a similar use, a place where others can learn and enjoy and create positive and
lifelong memories would be a similar and best use for this location. in order for this to happen,
it is Up to VOU to add the requested zoning of church and school to this property.
Thank You for taking the time to read this. If You would like to discuss this further, we are
happy to meet at Your MnVCIIiOVICC.
Respectfully submitted,
Rob and Martha Domont

In consideration ol-everything that I have read in the nmspapct� etc., I helieve blocking

Passing this aniend.ment would allow the DomonVs to sell their property, which they
