NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION Of THE CITY OF PETALUMA AS
FOLLOWS:
A. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.
B. Based on its review of the entire record herein, the Planning Commission makes the following
findings:
General Plan
1. The proposed construction of the Safeway Fuel Station project at 335 South McDowell
Boulevard is, for the reasons discussed in the May 8, 2018 Planning Commission staff report,
Planning Commission Resoluiion No, 2018-21 B Page 1
6-4-1
consistent with the following Petaluma General Plan policies: Policy 1-P-2 (Promote infill
development), Policy 1-P-6 (mixed-use development) 1-P-11 (Land use intensification at
strategic locations), Policy 1-P-14 (street trees), Policy 2-P-5 (Strengthen the visual and
aesthetic character of major arterials), Policy 4-P-10 (Electric Charging stations), Policy 5-P-42
(expand bus transit), Policy 6-P-29 (Integrate Art), Policy 10-P-3 (Protect Public Health and
Welfare), and Policy 10-P-4 (Transport of Hazardous Materials).
2. The Project is consistent with the "Community Commercial" General Plan land use designation
because the project contributes to the variety of commercial services provided to the larger
the region from this area of Community Commercial property.
Implementing Zoning Ordinance
3., The Project is consistent with all development standards of the C2 Zoning District including, but
no limited to, those pertaining to building height, setbacks and off-street parking requirements.
4. All the required findings for Site Plan and Architectural Review approval found at
Implementing Zoning Ordinance §24.010 (G) (1) can be made, as follows:
a) The .Project includes the use of quality materials and is in harmony with and in proportion
with the overall design through its use of single -story architecture with building articulation
that employs varying depths and balances solid and transparent fagade materials in the
form of stucco and concrete masonry unit walls stucco, and glass windows with metal
aluminum trim; the use of metal, stone, and concrete finishes; added accent to the main
,entrance; metallic awnings; and consistent detailing forthe proposed canopy. Articulation
is applied on all building elevations appropriately.
b) The Project's building form, materials and architectural style is appropriate for the Project
and compatible with the overall character of the area. The proposed facades include
varying depths and materials divided into low, mid, and upper level strata to provide visual
variety. Architectural detailing is carried through to all structures. The area features similar,
rectilinear, simplistic commercial structures oriented to passing vehicle traffic on South
McDowell Boulevard and Maria Drive and pedestrian on-site.
c) The proposed site design frames the interior of the lot and more clearly defines the
boundaries of the site than current development, particularly along the southern property
line adjacent to Maria Drive. Positioning the structure approximately five -feet (5 ft.) from
the property line at this location establishes a pedestrian friendly building edge along the
street. Further, the building is designed with an entry to the kiosk from Maria Drive that
orients the building for customers walking on the sidewalk. The location of the canopy and
the kiosk are located at approximately the same depth as the adjacent building along
South McDowell Boulevard. This positioning enhances the streetscape because it
maintains consistent siting of structures on the east side of the South McDowell Boulevard.
d) The project identifies new building signage consisting of two new signs on the convenience
store and on the canopy. The project also includes a price sign elevation. However, this
signage is representative only and is not proposed as part of the application. An
application will be submitted in the future for signage on the north and south elevations of
the convenience store, on the east and west edge of the fueling canopy, and for a
monument signage on the site. Proposed signs generally fit within the area of the canopy
and the kiosk. Additionally, signage is generally consistent with location, number and size
requirements of the sign code and sign program, although staff will ensure that any future
application for project specific signage will be consistent with the sign code and sign
program.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2018-21 B Page 2
6-4-2
e) The project is harmonious with adjacent structures in terms of bulk, height, and color. The
architecture is, like adjacent buildings, simple in form and design. Immediately north of the
site is a bank and commercial retail store that is approximately one -and -a -half- to two
stories in height. This building is comprised of rectilinear features with strong square cut
elements. Similar bulky square cut features that are simple in design and form are used in
the canopy over the fuel pumps and portions of the fagade of the kiosk. To the west of the
site, across South McDowell Boulevard are single story single family homes. The
convenience store bulk, at 697 square feet, is similar in size to the single family homes, and
the earth tone color scheme of the homes compliments the beige and taupe color
scheme of the project. Similar to other structures, the single story nature, architectural
expression and color scheme of the project compliment the structure to the south
because the structure to the south is a single story building, with a rectilinear form, and
earth tone color scheme. East of the project is the Safeway grocery store. The color
scheme of the project matches the color scheme of the Safeway grocery store, with each
being comprised of beige and taupe tones. Similarly, the vertical bands that extend up
the face of the fuel canopy and the convenience store are also found on the grocery
store. Additionally, the proposed trash enclosure employs the same materials (concrete
masonry unit walls and standing seam metal roof, and metal doors) color scheme, and
resembles a similar square bulk as the proposed convenience store and canopy, and is
therefore consistent with other existing structures in the immediate neighborhood of the
project site. For these reasons the project is harmonious with the bulk, height, and color
schemes of other structures in the immediate neighborhood.
f) Proposed landscaping serves three functions: to screen structures on the lot and soften
views from Maria Drive and South McDowell Boulevard, and to provide stormwater
retention on-site. Denser landscaping is proposed along the west and south property
boundaries to increase screening, particularly with respect to the queueing lane for the
proposed trash enclosure. The project also includes landscaping along Maria Drive, along
the back of the proposed improved bus turnout. This landscaping will provide a buffer
between the bus turnout and the parking lot for the shopping center. Further, the project
preserves key street trees at the corner of South McDowell Boulevard and Maria Drive, and
the trees along Maria Drive as well. The project would remove two street trees to
accommodate the improved transit facility, but proposes two new 24 -inch box red maples
behind the bus stop.
g) Circulation patterns will not be substantially altered by the project. A new accessible
pedestrian path is proposed to connect the convenience store to the existing sidewalk on
Maria Drive, with bicycle parking positioned at a logical location - at the terminus of the
pathway at the building. Vehicle access follows the predominant current pattern. New
access is provided to the site from the east. This area will allow for queuing of vehicles so
as to not impede the drive aisle on the adjacent property. The project also provides a new
egress to the north to facilitate internal circulation in the shopping center.
C. Based on its review of the entire record herein, including the May 8, 2018 Planning Commission
staff report, the June 26, 2018 Planning Commission staff report, all supporting, referenced, and
incorporated documents and all comments received and foregoing findings, the Planning
Commission hereby approves Site Plan and Architectural Review for the Project, subject to the
conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
