14
Overall, there appeared to be strong support for each of the presented goals.,

A
f
f
I
Many felt that the goal was overly broad and several suggested that salaries and pensions should
be cut. Others noted that much that is proposed in this objective should already be a part of
standard business practices.
When respondents answered questions about th6-objective to provide safe and efficient
inirastrucfure, many mentioned that the Trestle downtown i"n the tu�nin.g basin should be
improved. It was agreed that roads needed to be fixed and that traffic could be improved with
better bike and pedestrian options. Some argued that the 2 °d SMART station was an important
infrastructure investment, A few suggested that expanding Corona could be done in place of
building out Rainier as a cross town. connector.
Improving communications was supported across the board. It was pointed out that
communications should be two way anc� be heard by those with decision making authority.
Some suggested that more outreach and better engagement with committees an- d commissions
would be helpful,,

somewhat resonated with them. This goal presented five objectives:
1. Preserve and protect Petaluma's environment with smart and efficient use of resources.
2. Promote sustainable building practices and active. conservation efforts to Petaluma
residents.
Both this goal and the related objectives received broad support filtom the many that responded to
this ques*fton in the survey. Some concerns were expressed about the cost benefits of some
environmental programs and weather those costs would make dousing more expensive. A
specific request for a local composting facility was suggested several times. There was also
broad support for water conservation and solar panels. any suggested that education would be
helpful

somewhat resonated with them. This goal presented three objectives:
1. aintain and enhance public safety and prepare for emergencies & disasters t1u%o-agh

space for public S afety, others wotTied about the budgat impacts. There were several concerns

1b

or reinforcing public safety capabilities, There were severa
marijuana dispensary while others opposed this along with
1 in support of allowing for a
local vaping retailers.
Finally, when it came to the City's work related to providing diverse housing opportunities,
many agreed that housing was a critical issue. Others wondered i*f the City could affect housing
affordability and suggested that other agencies might also be involved, There were many
comments1--n-1 favor'of rent control and a Housl*ng Commission.Others raised concerns about
building more housing that could not be supported by the City's current infrastructure and
service delivery capabilities..
An Economy that Prospers.0
:
When asked if this goal resonated., 46% a-.11,11,wered Yes, Another 32% answered the goal
somewhat resonated with them. This goal presented three objectives:
1. Attract and retain businesses that generate revenues I and provide jobs that pay living
wages.
2. Promote Petaluma as a destination.
3. Re-establish the Petaluma River as a clean and accessible waterway Open to commercial
and recreational traffic.
While the survey registered suppoit for al act g and r....Aammg businesses to P...Petaluma,many
people worry that infill development and business expansion could have negative impacts on the
Community. Several suggested that other issues, such as housing., permitting, costs of rent
downtown and talent needs should also be considered. There were several comments for and
against minimum wage and many comments for and against Spanish outreach and education for
business. Finally, marry favored helping oca small business over helping large, national
businesses.
In response to the objective to promote downtown as a tourist destination, there was agreement
that mote parking is needed. There were mixed' feelings about an -other Downtown hotel. It was
agreed that river dredging was ca•ztical and that local issues should take priority over attracting
tourl" S Finally, it was suggested that better transportation to and around downtown could limit
car dependence and mitigate traffic.
Finally, there was broad suppoit for river dredging with concerns of howl"t should be paid for
and maintained until a thoughtful, long -team plan is 11-1 place, Many noted that recreation
including bike and pedestrian paths should be the focus of river enhancement. Again, some
worried about the costs to maintain the river.
N
Spaces and Place's that Inspire: `
When askedi`f this goal- resonated, 49% answered yes. Another 39% answered the goal
somewhat resonated withthem. This goal presented fiveobjectives,
1. Envision and create a safe downtown thatis attractive, clean, and. can be enjoyed by a 11
ages.
2. Re -envision City -owned fairgrounds property.
3. Create inspirational spac.es.with diverse -.public art installations.
4. Enhance public spaces that are accessible, sustainable.and inspire. commumty
connections.
5. Equitably address and improve existing parks, park infi%astnicture., and ire]*-Magme new
space for,pla.
In the long form answers, respondents expressed a concern that the program seemed focused
more ontthe west side than the east side of Pealuma. Some. questioned w.hether creating a
downtown streets team was a goad idea. Across the board., the, community ..Would like more
parking and bathrooms downtown. Thexe was :also a lot of agreement that traffic flow should be
reviewed and improved if possible.
The answers were split between those who supported redeveloping the fl,irgrounds property and
those who wanted the. fairgrounds to remain as is. Several concerns arose about high density
housing on the site, that would not benefit Petaluma or the local neighborhoods. Finally, there
-a was some support for a City.adminisftaft"011 center on the property,.
When it came to public mt and spaces., many questioned the use of fiends on this priority, Theliz_.
were also many comments against the bathtub art proposal on Water Street., Finally, there were
several 1"n support as well as4 against the objective of investing in, and or upgrading, city property
and facilities.
The state of Petal a's parks was another important topic presented in this goal. There was
broad su o forublic parks, but also a lot of concern about how that would be
funded. any wished p maintenance could be prioritized and several requested
improvements to Lynch Creek Trail specifically. .
Proposed Goals
The final goals, while aspirational, reflect the picture of success for Petaluma, Many questioned
ea 1 of staff to accomplish all therODOSe goals in the two-year period. While chis 4
workplan is aspffational-by-design, staff felt that these goals and objectives are inter -dependent
and can be accomplished 1"n tandem. Note that this proposal i*s supported by City staff:
While some of the propose objectives and workplan items received co leting responses, each
. workplan item will require extensive PUblic outreach
before i*mplementation. Each item will
become part of a workplan whereby staff can research an issue, identify alternatives, and present
recommendations to the City Council for consideration and public discussion.
