My oth g � at sfgeualif� on 2 am a Concerned Resident of Petaluma. What sets me apart from by y history of continuous involvement. I Joined Heritage Homes .,m Ne r of Petaluma in �1978; when,I was commuting io' San Francisca veryday. I worked on the 1980 House tour committee,; was=elected: to the board; and served as president; of Heritage Homes from July 1981 -.to July. 1983. As,presid.ent, I„attended meetings of the downtown association in discussing parldng and contributed ;to the,forming of the first Butter &z Eggs Day parade. I have been a Heritage Board Member 12 of the last 24 years. I was involved with the proper P lannng concerns of .he La Cbmbra (Victoria) project in West Petaluma, which led to my involvement in the award �...... _. Member. I ran for Citv a wininz 1987 Petaluma General Plan Update as a Transportation Committee D_ __ 1 .. e m January 1991 to July 1997 and July 1998 t Council in 1990,1994 and 199b. I served- on SPARC from. . o June 2000. I am willing to serve, as .its Planning representative. I am a graduate -of Leadership Petaluma. I was also involved as a member of The Central Petaluma Specific Plan Advisory .:ommittee as .a property owner. I have .been in the construction trade for over 32 years. I have had the.experiience of working for many businesses, as well as running my own. I feel the Cityis like, a business. One must•have vision, commitment, courage to fight. for what is,right, thewisdom to admit when"you are wrong, and the abilityto change. direction ifyou make a.inastake. I also believe in personal'property rights, feel it is importariftor be courteous, have common sense, and not micro manage planning projects. What do oiutions, bath long and short terra, for ,economic development you .see -.as the bests p eat = in Petaluma' The immediateshort-term needs w ;ha staff be • messy Friendly' and less ' would be to,have city s `.`Bus' ' obstructionist. All staff and commissions •need to realize, that :time is. money and we need to reduce . the amount of, red tape, that business must go through in .the permit process to be able to do the • , .simplest of changes.; If any sort of building/use pernut;ismeeded, there is still. & 4rS,Week wait Both P3 MX+..r'!� Planning and SPARC seem to think nothing cif bringing Aan applicant back for.further review ;of rrecommended changes without, giving them clear guideli�nes;as to the -changesthey want For the long term; I support the Chamber of Comm ercds11/lission Statement .='Support and�.improve.a : healthy business community in order to enhance the gualityoffe in file greater Petaluma are Imagine yourself . � y :. as ®visitor to 'Petaluma. '1Nh �_ y�u.�seeY,phys Ily; liy, dip , 9 ica econorni�a environmentally' as you walk around town? .: a during the daytime, I caai;t hel ibutiiotice all the trees. From the .� I drive into Petaluma g ytim p: freeway .I can 'see more green than.houses or roads. The next thing Ioice is the #all spires of: file churches and tall silos of the grain elevators. This shows our .historic 61dtionsihip to God. and agriculture. Then, as I drive down•the Boulevard, I -see a beaufful,Old City�� am i portant:downtownrore. -The Downtown and, -its, history is'what makes PetaluaJdifferenf>than.a citylike Rohnert Park. The Downtown needs to beprotected .and .embraced to be kepotJ41hrd. Itis Petaluma`s 1'focal• point I. also cy Tatewliich shows us that;Petaluma is a desirable' see a very low residential and commercial vacaai place to live and work Therefore_ I no longer see :a.liedr`oomtcommunity, but almost -a fully •self :sustaining economy of.Ili-Tech; :small to medium sized ]nanufaaL nng; 'a large service:industry,, and a fail" amount of retail. Petaluma needs to pronaote'Itself as i 's !ss' friendly", encourage more efd' coil wn ,to permit larger scale incubator style office/ commercial buildings while y g; office/Warehouse,complexes: the ;guiding .docurnent a the City. The . Gener®I :Plan.. �Idn)" as .- h ( and vision: for 'Holm► would you interpret the policies and goals articulated, in the plan? Howe flexible would. you be and .. . d in the Plan? wrould �!®u feel cornfortsable not appr®vinq specific land: ' The old General Plan. was assembled by staff, a consultant and input om five fifteen-memb in ut fr er citizen committees: This plan is so complete because. it,is. heavily based in residents' opinions, needs, " _ .... - by the,City likes, .and dislikes: I view the �iudelines_and, any othea specific policy direction evert it Council, as the foundation that•the planning w. The Ge . commission needs r .. . g o follow. neral Plan goes beyond simple "land use," and attempts, to maintain'the current quality of life.. I believe that the General Plan should be followed as closely as possible, and if a proven problem arises from a AdLrficular use that cannot'be,mitigated, I believe the. General Plan:should be interpreted in a more '•''festrictive rather thanin a liberal manner. Asa member of the transportation subcommittee .I participated in adding specific goals to the old General Plan, such as requesting zoning for spot commercial in larger. subdivisions, ;so it would not be necessary to drive to a major shopping center when the TV commercial asks the question "Got milk?". The G&G shopping center in the Corona -Ely Specific Plan is a good example, but I think too little too late. I believe in some flexibility, keeping in mind personal property rights, what was zoned. first, and `how the proposed use/building will affect the surrounding environment, but the planning commission is not a policy making body. Policy making is up- to the City Council. Therefore minor 'changes in implementation have, to be taken on a case by casebasis..

I have a keen understanding of new real estate development and existing renovation and the land use issues that arise as a result of such proposed construction. As a practicing architect ,for the :past seventeen years, I have personally been involved in a multitude of projects'' requiring governmental approval at all levels. I have designed and overseen construction projects in six western states and maintain active professional licenses in California, Arizona; °Colorado, and New Mexico. My higher education combines �"a , B'S'. in Business Management and a Master of Architecture that provides,'' me 'the fundamental tools to have insight .and understanding of all issues associated with land' use development, both from the City s perspective as well as that of the Applicanth My degree in Architi Master of ArchiteciufE • �. techniques and Archi Petaluma's land use ,no .1V .t'% In addition, I am farm] and objectives as they; that the City confront., finalized and implement Question Two: That :do you see as development in Petalh There is no single ansv. e four-year program. While obtaining this .ed, and became .proficient in Urban Design both of which have direct relevance to it. Petaluma General Plan including its policies J am- also familiar with the predominant issues General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan is both long and short term, for economic However, as the ,commuhit,� bontinues to grow, economically, it is imperative that we maintain a cultural ;;and ,_econ0' flub --balance between the historic downtown business district and, newer economic .centers around the perimeter of the city center. We cannot allow additional lands to becometvacant and underutilized in and around the city center. In the short term, the City of Petaluma should focus on its own economic health. Therefore, new development proposals should be carefully reviewed to insure that short • term economic impacts do riot place additional burden on the City. Once the City has returned to economic vitality, the City of Petaluma should direct and promote economic growth that is in keeping with either the current or the new General Planas well as the Downtown. Specific Plan. Directing growth that is in ,the City's best interest could be in, the .form of reduced development, fees, tax incentives, and an overall lessening of .land use restrictions to .insure that .land development occurs where it is best suited to maintain the economic and cultural balance, noted above and have the least impact on our natural and built environment. To summarize, the City needs to financially position -itself in the' -short-term to become, more proactive and less reactive towards long-term economic development. Question Three: Imagine yoursefas a visitor to Petaluma 'What do you. see physically; economically, and environmentally as you walk around town? �= In 199L I was a. first time visitor.to,`Petaluma. Here's my recollection of that'visit 'F = As .I arrived :heading Northbound on the 101, I `had'heard that Petaluriia'vaas�a.mce town. But,,. I did not know where town was, so my wife and I exited the .freewaRlt Lakeville Street and guessed at heading west towards the grain;elevators (they&NN—isible< indmark fiom'the,freeway). , >• "'°J • Heading :down Lakeville Street we saw what could only , )a descnbed.�as a� blighted _ . farming- community with run down buildings, cement ,plants, weed filled!fields,.: junkyards ,. and ,a rough. road. This was not what we expected. 'Nor did it;..encourai;6: usKthat •a wond'erful' and historic town lie'less than a, mile: away. Reaching Washington Street, I was. in- .awe ls.eeirig the old ,railroad' atationnwhile ,asking Myself. `.`Wh don't the, do somethin with that that"s a' eat old Y Y Y g g� N Turning up Washington, we could see. town for the first time while 'keeping, the grain elevators. 'in our perspective as. a landmark. We drove through ,town,,�,ui,�aa�flash :gazing down historic streets on each side. We turned. around. and looked'for omplace to :park. Eventually we ended up back near` the railroad station and parked.'i]n4a:di ,P, a. -and -walked. up Washington to town. 'The river? Not even inviting nor did we pay any;attention to it. a.', .... After walking town for only .an hour or two, -we leftTor Napa to :to'tluough .the wine -country-never Expecting to return to Petaluma. . Not much has changed since and I am sure that first time visitors Have a similar experience,, no matter what direction or perspective they come from. • Question Four: The General Plan (Plan) is the guiding document and vision for the City. How, would you interpret'ahe policies and goals articulated in the plan? Rowflexible exible would you be and would you feel comfortable not approving specific land uses allowed in the Plan? With assistance from the Community Development Department, I would interpret the policies and goals exactly as they are written and described in the General Plan. Each land use development 'should be considered on a case -by -case basis. There are numerous scenarios whereas flexibility would be, appropriate when it comes to policy interpretation. However,. I would have significant reservations in approving, a land use proposal that would have a negative impact on the City's 'financial position and/or any project that cannot fully mitigate harmful impacts to both the natural and.the built environments. I would favor projects that help 'to revitalize the downtown ;and riverfront areaiii' I :also favor the establishment of•:a'ssessment districts for infrastracture improvern6ii tOa require implementation prior to development approval. An excellent example, Hof; -this' is'., the Lakeville Widening Assessment District and the .Lakeville Sound Wall',` sessment ��.

With ;these two major policies ,in ,mand, and:gaven ahe,*: F; pressure for .ongoing growth -during the next decade or so,, what'•two aor tee polac�e and programs would you promote to; protect`the historic, cultural, and ph ysical.aspects,,� M4 of Petaluma? ;" IM41 I believe that the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) is more thana`bounda that the UGB's importance lies in the spirit and intent behind this edge c any development around or near this boundary must respect -the voter's Therefore, both infill development within the , city s center andk-wfea; `6re � , e' ge P , v development along the City's boarders are two important policies;. that�LMust, 'be o all land _use applicants. maintained and promoted tOR To implement these two policies, the City must continue to develop, waysandjR ans that promote such .infill as proposed by the Downtown Specific Plan and the riverfrorit. Once these plans are integrated into the new General Plan, we should then focus on Lakeville Street (between' 101 and. Washington) and the Caulfield Extension. Development proposals north and east of the city, nearing the UGB, are contrary to these policies and • goals. Question Six: How would you ,adchress current and future fln oodi . issues for Petaluma? g Well, it was a hard pill to swallow, but we have learned a lesson about, development in the Petahinia River flood' plain. Simply put all, development proposals upstream from the P.ayran and Downtown riverfront areas'must maintain zero -net -fill and zero -net -runoff policies to insure . that ther . e are no additional cumulative effects of flooding by development. on a case -by -case basis, such zero -net policies can be maintained, -then such land use applications sS6uld_ be considered for approval on I the same basis and merit as if the proposal-w-kie,bi6f,upstfeam from the Payran and Downtown areas of the river.- 3 How,ivquIdj'yMu.,,`iid& current and future traffic congestion in Petaluma!, This, -is -a `large question 'aind has r'many components to..4ts answer.

Plan. • Also within our community, -we must recognize that, the current street system will not accommodate additional traffic burden without significant repair.. Some, of this street 'repair, especially that in close proximity to proposed development, §houldbe born by,the land use applicant. ® Finally, in my tenure as, an Architect,, I have witnessed many occasions in other • communities where the'land'use`appli'cant has been required to pay a substantial share if not the 'entire share of the cost for infrastructure improvement including special,, assessments for 'streets,' parks, and schools. It seams to me that, from the projects built within the past fifteen years, land use applicants have been able to develop'within .the City with little 'or no infrastructure expense with the only exception'being the Lakeville Industrial Park. - With our street system in considerable disrepair and in needof updating to handle traffic flows, I would 'encourage the community to consider passing the costs of such improvements on to the land use applicant as. appropriate for the scale and magnitude , o f,the :proposal. �4a k Question Eight:"k a, • ,.' What infzll poledo you, ^think should be adopted in light of the Urban Growth Boundary passedby,te.voters? I am a strong7supporter .:for adaptive reuse of existing buildings and land uses and have professionally'designednuinerou_s projects requiring such reuse or renovation. o One important�tlung,rtonote.:regarding infill development is that, not all development •needs to occur :onevacant -.unoccupied land. Some•, infill development should be targeted at existing land� est that= no -longer fit within the City's General Plan Land Use Map or within a Specific'PTa az' These existing, -land uses, may .house legitimate business enterprises yet detour or detract from the over, y I'mgpoal of lthe tCity's future. Therefore, the City may need to provide incentives aid, ogr idiected at such business enterprises to encourage relocation to a more appropriate,- ocation _within the community. }^a m, a . Case in point�rA`1'" ^ , " W shave. a' number of automobile wrecking yards and cement - ties :along Lakeville Street. Can you imagine a mixed -use .commercial/residential development adjacent to these existing . =,4usiriesses? Or, can -you imagine a large-scale corporate employer +� rwanting to have their corporate headquarters nearby? I don't think ' any of us can envision that as a possibility. if However, . I M - existing -'businesses have a right to_operate at their current locations. ." '.�°,w San ','policythat I would support is to provide existing business, not meeting the current s - dard or;711crite 'a for downtown redevelopment, a series of incentives to relocate. Depending on !.the particular situation, such incentives could be in the form of land swaps, environmental clean-up, tax breaks, etc. • Another in -fill policy that I favor is historic renovation and preservation. This includes development adjacent to historically sensitive buildings. Petaluma's historic character and riverfront location is ideally suited for Live -work environments. With that in, mind, I would support some larger scale mixed -use developments especially if they are closely connected to the downtown district. by means of walking and bicycle paths and juxtaposed -adjacent to current or future mass transportation opportunities. �10 0
