Work Sheet page 14 - Varnhagen Property
Commissioner Davis stated that leaving this , property in agriculture would,
alleviate concerns over increases in density in that area. Mr. Salmons
responded that the designation on the proposed plan and the designation on
the existing General Plan would yield approximately the same development
potential; also, if the agricultural designation is applied to Varnhagen
because of being ag preserve, the same should be applied to other
William properties around the City. There was no further discussion.
REQUEST Remove the Varnhagen property from within the Urban Limit
Line.
ALTERNATIVES
a,. Restore the Urban Limit Line to the location shown on the
existing General Plan map.
b. Remove the Varnhagen property totally from. the Urban Limit
Line.
C. Maintain the Urban Limit Line as proposed, but change; the land
use designation to Agricultural to reflect the Williamson Act status
of the property.
d. Leave the Urban Limit Line and designations as proposed..
STA FF RECOM MENDATION: Alternative D
The designation as proposed is less intense than the existing
designation even though it covers the entire property, plus it gives
the City an opportunity to acquire Urban Separator all the way to
Western Avenue. r

c: Remove the Public and Institutional designation; redesignate that
portion of the property Thoroughfare Commercial; maintain the

and Ellis Street.
i
dti: Strengthen the policy guidelines in the ;text of the plan for all
Gateways proposed for the City to the, clear intent and
adequate direction for gateway . improvements as a condition of
development.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION ' Alternatives C and D.
Tihis would allow the property owners to retain the commercial use of
the land; but with appropriate policy direction, give the City the
opportunity to work with a developer of the site to create a gateway in
conjunction with future improvements. A Thoroughfare Commercial
designation on that site would not be typical of other "strip
commercial" development along East Washington since access could not
be from East Washington.

Hilligoss
Mr. Knox summarized fo.r the Commission the results of his review of the
letter from Derek Simmons, the attorney representing the Conrows.
Referring to pages 34 and 35 of the draft plan,, he stated that much of the
confus'ion on these pages comes from mixing the discussion of arterial
64
landscaping and gateways. Mr. Know continued by saying that staff
recommendation 3` -C (.Work Sheet page 39) should include both zoning, and
SPARC; and that the City is trying to assure that the location is
appropriately treated through design standards. He suggested.. that the
statement "land 'or open space easements .could be acquired" be deleted as
well as the paragraph on. page. 35 discussing the visitors center.. Finally,
he recommended ,approving staff's text recommendations as presented., and
that other language will be added on arterial landscaping. There was no
further discussion.
Alternative Recommended: D plus text changes on Recommendation

Work _Sheet: page 17 Lawrence.: Old Redwood/Goodwin
Commissioner Davis stated that he would support including Mr. Lawrence',s
property but not the property across Old Redwood Highway.. Mr. Salmons
stated that this area : had. complicated storm drainage problems and that. staff
was withdrawing its recommendation to include the Lawrence property' and
especially the properties on the south side of Old Redwood. He also stated
that annexation Of the property would ,include quite .a bit of roadway.
Commissioner Parkerson stated that the Commission should" be careful about
changing the, urban limit line that had been agreed .upon through the
sub" = committee process.. - Commissioner Hilligoss felt. that had. this request
been known earlier in the process it probably would have - been included
within the urban limit line. There was no further discussion.
REQUEST Include the property bounded by Old Redwood. Highway,
Denman Road and Goodwin Avenue within the Urban Limit Line.,
ALTERNATIVES
a. Leave the property ,outside the Urban Limit Line..
b.. Include -the property within the U "rb"an Limit Line under the
Special Commercial designation and .also consider bringing in the
properties between the south side of Old. Redwood Highway and
the NWPRR up to Ely Road with an Industrial designation -.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Alternative B.
The proposal represents a logical extension of the. Urban Limit Line to
Ely Road while staying north of the railroad, Properties in this area
are not covered by the Penngroye Specific Plan; but -Penngrove,
residents may object ,(as one has already done) . Including properties
south of Old Redwood might also result in needed improvements. to. the'
Ely Road and .Old. Redwood Highway crossings of Willow Brook.

Work 'Sheet page 18 - Scott Property: Corona / NWPRR
is
Since the situation with the Scott property is similar to that of the
Lawrence property (i.e., a request to be included, within the urban limit
line) , ' 'there was continued discussion by the Commission on changing the
urban limit line.
REQUEST Include property north of Corona Road and east :of the NWPRR
right = -way within the Urban Limit Line and the Corona /Ely Specific Plan
Area.
ALTERNATIVES
d. Leave the properties outside the Urban Limit Line as proposed.
b. Move the Urban Limit Line to include the Scott properties.
i
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Alternative A
The timing of including the Scott property within the Urban Limit Line
now, based on public discussions and, recommendations that have come
from the sub- committees and the GPCC, is not appropriate. Mr.
Scott's property may represent the next logical step in City's growth
and could be considered at some future General Plan update.

Work Sheet page 19 - Petaluma School District
On this item Mr. Salmons suggested Alternative C be 'the staff
recommendation if further study bears out the need. Mr. Knox presented
new wording in the form of .Alternative E which the Commission then took
actioni on.
.:
Y oQUO�o�
REQUEST Establish an elementary school. site (10 -15 acres) in the vicinity
of "I" Street Extension.
REQUESTED BY :, Petaluma School District
B.ACI;GRO:UND The school district anticipates a need for an additional
elementary school site on the west side, centrally located in the southwest
corner of the City. Presently, the draft hand Use Map does not show a
site in the area.
ALTERNATIVES
a. Leave the draft Land Use Map as proposed with no school site
shown.
b. Request that the school district justify the need for new . site,
with additional data, and select several alternative sites for
consideration by the 'Commission and Council.
c. Amend the, General Plan text to express the need for a new site
in the southwest corner of the City.
d. Select a centrally located site in the "I" Street extension area.
e. Request data from : Petaluma. School .District regarding the need. for
a new school. site in the southwest corner of the. City. If the
data so justifies, amend the General Plan text accordingly.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Alternative B.
Without knowing 'the districts needs beyond a parcel size and general
location, it 'is difficult to ask the Planning Commission to select a site
on behalf of the district. In the 'It" Street area there are only two or
three properties large enough to accommodate the District's needs.
Staff will be happy to work with the district to develop site
alternatives that can be considered for the General Plan Land. Use

The discussion focused on the nature of mixed use and the kind of uses
that might. be allowed. The Commission again stressed the need to clarify
the definition in the General Plan as much as possible.
I
i_
REQUEST Change the Public and Institutional designation on the property
at Oak and Kentucky Streets. (Department of Motor Vehicle site, A. P. No.
006-162'-1).
ALTERNATIVES :
aa. Leave the property as Public and Institutional until such time as
j the current use changes.
b . Change the designation to Mixed Use which would permit specified,
commercial or office uses and could also include residential.
c,. Change the designation to a strictly commercial designation based
on a review of the surrounding area (this will .mean changing
i other designations, as well) .
I
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Alternative
B
Since the property is privately owned
and does not fit the Public and
Tnstitutional definition as stated in
the text of the General Plan, the
Mixed Use designation might better
apply on this site and would offer
commercial opportunities (to be further
defined through the Zoning
Ordinance) as well as residential. .

STAFF' RECOMMENDATION Alternative A.
The Rural Residential designation has been placed on the properties
along the west side of Petaluma_ Boulevard North in an attempt to hold
new development to a minimum until a 'Specific Plan can be prepared
for the area. It is the least intensive residential designation. Also
the boundary lines may be adjusted as part of the Specific Plan when
the provision of City services can be analyzed in greater detail.

Work Sheet page: 24 - Neighborhood Park near Oak Creek Apartments
Commissioner
Tarr stated that he was looking for an
actual park site in the
area. not just
access to the Floodway. Commissioner
Davis also felt a• park
was' needed
in this area because existing parks
were quite far away.
Commissioner
Hilligoss expressed; her opposition
to Floodway access.
Mr. Salmons
explained that in this I area the City
has acquired a public
access easement near Oak Creek apartments.. Chairperson Read' stated that
there -needs to be further clarification of the kind of
park it will be since a
neighborhood
park implies having certain types of amenities that. would not
be permitted
in the Floodway,: Mr: Salmons ,proposed that the could
straddle the
,park
flood-way area so portions would be out of the floodway and
able to accommodate
park equipment and furniture.
Mr. Knox recommended
.that, the :reference to neighborhood park be amended
to read public park to
provide some
flexibility in how the !area is treated.
REQUEST A .neighborhood park on property near the intersection of the ,
Petaluma River and the NWPRR (.vicinity of Oak Creek Apartments and
Rainier overcrossing) .
ALTERNATIVES
a. Provide,, through policy and program statements in the text of the
plan, for 'recreational. uses in Floodway areas and allow public
access, at designated points along the Floodway.
b. Designate a portion of the property in question as 46gbbor}TOarl
Public ,Park.
C. Leave as proposed on the draft land use Map and in the text.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Alternative A

sizeable amount of land that is now undevelopable under present

Since the Mixed Use includes residential uses,, extending it the full
depth of both properties could' provide an easier transition from
commercial to residential.. Also, by placing the designation over the
entire property, a project for the site would have to- consider overall
integration of uses,. A split designation, as is the case now, would
njot necessarily* require that integration and could create compatibility
problems. The Commission should consider a similar change to all
properties now split between Mixed Use and a residential designation.

Work Sheet page 30 Properties on Northside of Bodega Avenue
The Commission took action on this item without d- iscussion.
REQUEST Change the designation of residential properties on the north
side of Bodega Avenue (,between Webster and Paula)' to Urban Standard (2.1
to 5.0 du /ac) to be consistent with .properties on the south side.
ALTERNATIVES
a. Leave designations in the area as proposed (Suburban).
b. Change the designation on the north side properties to Urban
Standard as requested.
STAFF RECOMMENDA'TION:, Alternative A.
The Suburban - . designation is applied in this area. because of
topography (the land rises steeply from Bodega), the unusual
dimensions of the properties (long' and narrow)- and lack of access
other than to Bodega Avenue. For these reasons, these properties
cannot support a higher density designation.. By contrast, all of the
77
i nn (r�l
properties on the south side of Bodega (between Webster and Bantam)
have been subdivided to„ the maximum extent, the land is comparatively
flat, and all have access to Bode, from an existing street network.
Hence the higher density designatn.
