Findings

DOYLE - Yes
LIBARLE - Yes
READ - Yes
TAR'R - Absent
KERSO'N - Yes
1. It has been the intent of the City of Petaluma and the Corona /Ely
Specific Plan to preserve Corona Road as a two -lane rural road„ and
by doing so, preserve the mature trees and natural features that exist .
along the road. Annexation of the road would necessitate
improvements to .current City standards and the probable loss of its
unique characteristics as well as a significant burden to those owners
required to improve their frontage.
2. The proposed annexation purposely excludes a number of small,
predominantly agricultural properties along Corona Road because the
owners have expressly objected. to being included in the annexation or
the properties have minimal development potential. If the City were
required to annex all of Corona Road, those small properties would
also have to annex to avoid becoming County islands.
3. Urban development and services will be focused away from Corona
Road and toward Sonoma Mountain Parkway. Extensions of sewer and
water connections will come from mains installed along the Parkway,;
and access, even to parcels immediately adjacent to Corona, will be
toward the Parkway.
4. Storm drainage for the developing: area will be directed away from
Corona Road and toward improvements within the Specific Plan area
(see Figure 3 -3 of the Specific Plan).
5. That portion of Corona Road in the annexation area is included in
order to facilitate improvements to Corona anticipated by the formation
of the North McDowell Assessment District and the interim. connection
of Sonoma Mountain Parkway to Corona. Traffic analysis completed as
part. of the preparation of the Specific Plan suggests that the Parkway
E
I
RM
Will redirect traffic that might otherwise use Corona Road, thereby
allowing Corona to remain at its present County configuration.
