Section 3. Pursuant to the provisions of Zoning Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S., as amended, the
City Council finds as follows:
The proposed Prezoning of the Rockridge Pointe property to PUD is consistent with the
Petaluma .General Plan, and is in general conformity with the zoning regulations of the
City of Petaluma as described in the project staff report. Additionally, the Fire Marshal,
Police Department and the Engineering Division have conditions of approval to
address: safety issues and design criteria for grading, site improvements and construction
of the residences.
C�
2. The public necessity, convenience and .general, welfare clearly .permit the adoption of the
Prezoning in that the zoning designation will result in residential uses that are appropriate
and compatible with the existing surrounding uses. The project plans present a unified
and organized arrangement of residential lots and public streets, appropriate to adjacent
and nearby properties. Proposed landscaping would further insure compatibility. The
proposed project would also require review and approval by the Site Plan and
Architectural Review Committee.
