Conditions of Approval:
27
DocuSign Envelope ID: C3CBC05F-3007-4B93-A7D5-DED20741222C
California Environmental Quality Act
1. The requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) were satisfied
through the preparation of an Initial Study, the drafting of a Mitigated Negative Declaration
to avoid or reduce to a level of insignificance potential impacts generated by the Woodridge
Planned Unit District, and City Council approval of that Mitigated Negative Declaration
by Resolution 2005-053. When in 2017 and 2019 the project was considered for
downsizing to two vacant single-family lots rather than four vacant single-family lots and
for modified driveway access, use of an Addendum to the approved Woodridge Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was considered. The City of Petaluma, as Lead
Agency, ultimately determined that only minor additions or changes were necessary to
make the previous environmental document adequately apply to the 2 vacant lot project
and determined that an Addendum to the MND would sufficiently address any revisions or
changes to the project and/or that of the environmental setting. An Addendum to that Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared, dated February 13, 2019; it updates
the original Initial Study and Mitigation Measures to reflect the proposed downsized
project, particularly relating to changed tree conditions over the 15-year period since the
original arborist report and to modified driveway access. The Addendum along with the
adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration was considered in decision making regarding the
two vacant lot project as well as the current Site Plan and Architectural Review.
Furthermore, in addition to the previously prepared environmental documents, the
proposed project is categorically exempt under Section 15303 (New Construction or
Conversion of Small Structures) of the California Environmental Quality Act. The Class
3 exemption includes construction of one single-family residence located in a residential
zone. There are no cumulative impacts, unusual circumstances, or other factors that would
make the exemption inapplicable.
General Plan
2. The Project is consistent with the site's General Plan land use designation of Low Density
Residential since it consists of a single-family residential use. The Woodridge subdivision
was found compatible with the site's Low Density Residential designation, which intends
to accommodate single-family residential development at a density range of 2.6 to 8.0
housing units per net acre, though it is below this density range, based upon General Plan
Policies 1-1`4 (which provides an exception to minimum density for projects where an
existing residence is retained) and 1-P-16 (which promotes preservation of natural assets
and the reduction of hillside grading and paving); no change in density is proposed by this
SPAR.
Woodrid eg PUD
3. The project site is zoned PUD and its development is governed by the modified Woodridge
PUD (approved by City Council and the Site Plan and Architectural Review Committee in
2005 and modified in 2017 to correspond to the proposed downsizing of the development
to two vacant lots and in 2019 to correspond to the proposed modification of driveway
access). As demonstrated by the Planning Commission Doherty Residence staff report
dated March 23, 2021, the Project conforms to the 2019 modified Woodridge PUD
DocuSign Envelope ID: C3CBC05F-3007-4B93-A7D5-DED20741222C
standards (which will become vested upon recordation of the 2 vacant lot Final Parcel
Map), see Table l: Compliance and Architecture, as conditioned. The story poles were
installed as required and the required Visual Analysis from public streets prepared.
4. The Woodridge PUD required evaluation of the sensvity of the SPAR proposal, as
specified at Section 8.2 titled New Construction, can be made, as demonstrated by the
Planning Commission Staff Report (beginning at page 13), related to:
a. Responsiveness to potential privacy issues, particularly where lots abut existing
development.
b. Minimization of drainage and grading impacts, particularly as they relate to downhill
development and public views.
c. Avoidance of potential grading and irrigation impacts to existing trees (particularly
native oak trees).
d. Avoidance of view obstruction to neighboring properties on Olive Street, Raymond
Heights, Sixth Street, and Branching Way
Site Plan and Architectural Review
5. All the required findings for Site Plan and Architectural Review found at Implementing
Zoning Ordinance Section 24.010 (G)(1) can be made, as follows:
a. The appropriate use of quality materials and harmony and proportion of the overall
design.
As designed, the project uses painted Hardie board siding (board and batten and ship
lap) with wood trim and columns in the same color, a gray standing seam metal roof
with gutters and downspouts to match, gray stacked stone veneer, Ipe decking with a
horizontal cable railing with a wood top rail, and bronze aluminum clad wood windows
with simulated divided lites. The main mass of the buildings, the size and placement
of windows, and the use of varied roof forms, building articulation, and porches are in
harmony and in proportion with the overall building design.
b. The architectural style should be appropriate for the project in question, and
compatible with the overall character of the neighborhood.
The project consists of a two-story home and an ancillary one-story pool structure, as
well as site development, over nearly an acre. The project uses elements of traditional
American home design and symmetry, which is compatible with the overall character
of the traditional neighborhood. The design choices are appropriate in that they provide
visual interest to all four sides. The house is custom designed to the lot dimensions and
topography, and it achieves a primary objective of the Woodridge PUD to encourage
quality homes. The siting of the home, while not orientated to a public street as seen
with homes around the perimeter of the block, is respectfully sited, being no closer than
34 feet to any property line, retaining perimeter trees that provide screening, and
proposing four-sided architecture so that no existing home is faced with a blank wall
or utilitarian fagade.
The house is larger than most other homes of the neighborhood, but its siting on nearly
an acre, where most area houses sit on less than a '/4-acre, is anticipated to ease any
29
DocuSign Envelope ID: C3CBC05F-3007-4B93-A7D5-DED20741222C
incompatibility. Additionally, the larger house size is compatible with the General Plan
West Hills subarea description of the area as one with a wide range of home styles and
sizes, rather than one with a homogeneous house size. The proposed structures are also
considered compatible through their compliance with standards set forth in the
modified Woodridge PUD.
c. The siting of the structure on the property, as compared to the siting of other structures
in the immediate neighborhood.
The two-story home is sited at least 34 feet from the nearest property line, roughly in
the center of the nearly one -acre lot. This central siting is similar to the recently
approved Nelson house at Lot 1 of the modified Woodridge PUD. The setbacks
required by the Woodridge PUD are larger than the norm for the block to provide a
buffer to the infill development and in respect of the existing neighborhood. The
proposed siting is consistent with the Woodridge PUD building envelope; the required
setbacks are 30 feet to the upper and side property lines and 40-50 feet to the lower,
Branching Way -facing properties; the proposed house exceeds those setbacks.
d. The size, location, design, color, number, lighting, and materials of all signs and
outdoor advertising structures.
No signs are proposed with the subject application (other than required construction
period signage). Therefore, this finding is not applicable.
e. The bulk, height, and color of the proposed structures as compared to the bulk, height,
and color of other structures in the immediate neighborhood.
Structures in the immediate neighborhood consist of single-family residences in
established residential neighborhoods. The proposed single-family home will be
constructed adjacent to the previously approved single-family home on Woodridge Lot
1 to the west. The proposed bulk, height, and color of the proposed new single-family
home will be compatible with the existing adjacent single-family homes in that the
bulk, while greater than most neighboring structures, is eased by the larger lot, the
larger setbacks, the varied house components and roof segments, and the existing and
proposed vegetation. The two-story height of the proposed house is compatible with
the residential neighborhood of one- and two-story homes, and the simple color palette
of gray with natural wood accents is compatible with the neighborhood. The house is
also in compliance with the approved PUD standards, particularly the height
requirement which is specific to the hillside situation. Furthermore, the house is
proposed 20 feet downslope of the highest end of the building envelope and utilizes a
one-story arrangement from the upslope vantage, which lowers the house's location on
the hillside. From the public vantage below, this minimizes the amount of house visible
to principally its roof and rooftop dormers. As viewed from private homes up the hill,
this increases views over the house. House colors in the neighborhood vary widely;
the dark color proposed for the house and roof results in it blending with the
surrounding dark vegetation behind it on the hillside (as seen from the public vantages
along Branching Way and Sixth Street).
£ Landscaping to approved City standards shall be required on the site and shall be in
30
DocuSign Envelope ID: C3CBC05F-3007-4B93-A7D5-DED20741222C
keeping with the character or design of the site. Existing trees shall be preserved
wherever possible and shall not be removed unless approved by the Planning
Commission.
The proposed landscape plan includes trees planted from 244nch box containers,
consisting of a variety of native and non-native species. In addition to the trees, shrubs
and ground cover plantings are proposed around the house. The understory of the pool
deck and the retaining walls are proposed to be screened by landscaping. All plant
material proposed is in the Low or Moderate category of the Water Use Classification
of Landscape Species (WUCOLS).
As discussed under Tree Removal and Preservation section of the Planning
Commission staff report, small oak #79 is the only protected tree to be removed to
accommodate construction of the Doherty Residence, and this removal was previously
approved by the 44ot Woodridge PUD and Subdivision. The 2019 Addendum to the
Mitigated Negative Declaration also considered loss of larger oak #80 likely, but the
Doherty Residence site plan was designed to preserve it. Generally, existing trees are
retained, especially along property lines where they can continue to act to screening
between neighboring residents; 35 of 36 on -site trees will be retained, including 22
Protected trees. The proposed landscape plan is consistent with City standards
including tree protection measures pursuant to Mitigation Measures Biological
Resources 1 through 4.
g. Ingress, egress, internal circulation for bicycles and automobiles, off-street
automobiles and bicycle parking facilities and pedestrian ways shall be so designed as
to promote safety and convenience and shall conform to approved City standards.
Ingress and egress to the proposed house will come from the previously approved
driveway over 20 Branching Way, near 22 Branching Way. The driveway is designed
and conditioned to the specifications of the Fire Prevention Department and the
Department of Public Works and Utilities. Six offsite parking spaces are provided,
which is appropriate given the distance to public street parking (on Branching Way);
guest parking may also be accommodated in a tandem manner on the driveway. In the
single-family context, bicycle parking is presumed to be available within the
residence/garage. A sidewalk system exists on Sixth Street and on portions of
Branching Way.
