PUBLIC HEARING, NEW ZONING ORDINANCE 1� The public hearing for adoption of the proposed zoning ordinance was held. Mr. N. Knox, of Livingston & Blayney, was present to give a brief resume of the proposed ordinance stating that said ordinance is a precise document for the control and development of land with- in the City of Petaluma. He further stat.ed that the zoning ordi- nance is prepared in two parts, the.t.ext of the ordinance and the map. Although the Council and Planning Commission have made several changes, the ordinance is basically the,same as it was prepared by Livingston & B`layney. Mr. Knox commented on two changes; first., wherever the wo d "transmission lines" was proposed to be eliminated, a new sentence- be added stating that routes of proposed electric transmission lines shall be submitted to the Planning Commission for approval prior to acgIu;1sition of rights -of -way. Mr. Leonard J. Stratfhous:e, with the land department of P.G,E.,was in the audience and made node of this change. The, second item Mr. Knox commented on was his belief that use permits should still require a public hearing. Commissioner Stanley,, acting, chairman, invited anyone in the audience to speak regarding the zoning ordinance. Mr. James Scott., 651 Central Ave.., asked what effect the ordinance and zoning map will have on his property. (Mr. Scott is developing property in the Central Ave. area). He was informed that this public hearing was only in regard.to what-should be allowed in the various zones and was not d'd'a'ling with specific areas until the zoning map is up for adoption.. There being no further comments forthcoming, the public hearing was declared closed and the meeting was adjourned.
