14
15 1. The site is likely to be subject to strong ground shaking produced by
16 earthquakes, thereby possibly causing damage to structures.
17
18 2. The site consists of expansive soils which cause seasonal moisture
19 fluctuation to subgrade, thereby resulting in cracking and/or
20 structural problems if slabs/foundations are constructed on native
21 soils.
22
23 3. Corrosion of uncoated steel and concrete due to soil or other alluvial
24 material contact.

12 RED®. ~ ~ y ~ N C ~
1 1. The regulations mandated under Article 16 and Chapter 17.3 of the
2 City Municipal Code, if implemented, would mitigate the impact on
3 flood conveyance within the Petaluma River drainage system. Article
4 16 is designed to protect public safety, minimize property damage and
5 public expenditure; Chapter 17.3 gives the City the ability to raise
6 revenues to provide for flood control improvements through drainage
7 impact fees.
8
9 2. The applicant shall conduct an analysis of the revised site plan prior
10 to approval by the Planning Commission to verify that the site grading
11 and building plans will not cause a backwater or other adverse effect
12 to the private properties beyond the project property lines for the
13 estimated 100-year recurrence floodwaters. The U.S. Army Corps of
14 Engineers hydraulic model HEC-2 or an equivalent method shall be
15 used for the evaluation. Said hydraulic analysis shall be subject to
16 review and approval by the Director of Engineering and the Sonoma
17 County Water Agency (SCWA).
18
19 3. An analysis of the capacity of the restored Holm Road ditch
20 (including the Clegg property, AP No. 007-811-018) shall be
21 performed to determine that the 10-year frequency storm
22 reoccurrence will be contained within this facility and that adequate
23 capacity exists within the Holm Road ditch to accept additional runoff
24 from the project during the 10-year frequency storm. Said analysis
25 shall be subject to review and approval by the Director of Engineering
26 and the SCWA prior to the approval of the revised site plan by the
27 Planning Commission. The developer shall make necessary
13
RE~~o 9 4~ 2 9 5 N C~
1 improvements to the Holm Road ditch to provide necessary hydraulic
2 capacity.

4 4. Construction provisions mandated in Article 16 that would mitigate
5 flood impacts include building anchors, the use of materials resistant
6 to flood damage, and the design and construction of building systems
7 to prevent flood waters. Appropriate plans shall be submitted to the
8 Chief Building Official.
9
10 5. The theater parking lot shall be posted with signs advising theater-
11 goers of the potential for inundation of the parking lot during major
12 flood events.
13
14 6. A Relocation Plan shall be developed by the proponent to include an
15 early warning device, monitored by the on-site security, to provide a
16 timely evacuation of persons and/or vehicles at time of inundation of
17 the parking area(s). The relocation plan shall be subject to review
18 and approval by City staff prior to issuance of the first Certificate of
19 Occupancy. An indemnification agreement, satisfactory to the City
20 Attorney, shall be executed prior to issuance of the first Certificate of
21 Occupancy to hold the City harmless in the event of damage or loss of
22 life occurs in spite of or due to failure of the Relocation Plan.
23
24 7. Until such time as the Petaluma River has been improved (the Army
25 Corps of Engineers' report), containment/improvement to the upper
26 channel reaches (Denman and Willow Brook) are not feasible as they
27 would cause adverse effects downstream. Therefore, all properties
14 R~~®.94 ®29 5NC~
1 that contain the Willow Brook overflow path shall allow this flow to
2 pass through the sites in an unobstructed manner.
3
4 The site, as presently proposed, places buildings in the direct flow
5 path. Therefore, development of the site shall be redesigned, in
6 conformance with local City standards and applicable FEMA
7 constraints, to eliminate this direct conflict.
8
9 The applicant shall conduct an analysis of the revised site plan prior
10 to approval of the revised site plan by the Planning Commission to
11 verify that the site grading and building plans will not cause a
12 backwater effect to the private properties beyond the project property
13 lines for the estimated 100-year recurrent floodwater. The U.S. Army
14 Corps of Engineers' hydraulic model HEC-2 or an equivalent method
15 shall be used for the evaluation. Said hydraulic analysis shall be
16 subject to review and approval by the Director of Engineering and the
17 Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA).
18
19 8. This development shall contribute, prior to issuance of building
20 permit or Certificate of Occupancy, a proportionate share of the cost
21 of the City Project No. 9855 for the Holm Road ditch Channel
22 Restoration. This ratio shall be based upon the revised project's ratio
23 of runoff from on-site to runoff from the watershed. (Estimated cost:
24 total City project $225,000; site runoff increase [10 year] is 5.1 cfs;
25 basin Q [flow at end of Holm Road at old pump station in drainage
26 channel] is 116 cfs. Percent flow increase into basin from theater site
27 4.4%. Contribution approximately $9,900).
