NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PETALUMA AS
FOLLOWS:
A. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.
B. Based on its review of the entire record herein, the Planning Commission makes the following
findings:
California Environmental Quality Act
a. A Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Suncrest Estates Planned Unit Development was
approved by the City Council in 1997, and applicable mitigation measures contained therein
were incorporated into the Suncrest Estates PUD guidelines.The project is consistent with the PUD
and as such complies with the adopted environmental document, and all applicable mitigation
measures have been incorporated as conditions of approval as shown in Exhibit 1 included herein.
In addition, the proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA under
Section 15303 (New Construction) which applies to construction of one single-family residence
located in a residential zone. As such, the project complies with CEQA.
General Plan
b. The Project is consistent with the Very Low Density Residential General Plan Land Use Designation
in that it provides a residential project on a property designated for residential uses with a density
range of 0.6 to 2.5 dwelling units per net acre.
c. The Project is, for the reasons discussed in the September 14, 2021 Planning Commission staff
report, consistent with the following General Plan policies:
Policy 1-P-2 Use land efficiently by promoting infill development, at equal or higher density and
intensity than surrounding uses.
Policy 1-P-3 Preserve the overall scale and character of established residential neighborhoods
Policy 1-P-16 Allow development in hillside areas that preserve ridgelines and are site sensitive.
Suncrest Estates Planned Unit Development
The project is, for the reasons discussed in the September 14, 2021, staff report consistent with the
applicable regulations and guidelines of the Suncrest Estates Planned Unit Development including
regulations and guidelines related to architectural design, grading, landscaping, privacy
considerations, and development of single-family residences.
Implementing Zoning Ordinance
d. The project is consistent with Implementing Zoning Ordinance Section (IZO) 16.060(K), and in
conformance with IZO Sections 16.060(H) and 16.060(I) in that, all required findings for single lot
development in a hillside area can be made as follows:
i. The project meets the objectives,standards,and guidelines of the Hillside Ordinance including
site design which avoids steeply cut slopes, conforms to the natural topography of the site,
minimizes grading to only those areas proposed for development, and utilized split level
foundations that help break up the mass of the structure. In addition, the architectural design
of the structure is consistent with the guidelines of the Hillside Ordinance in that it reduces the
overall bulk and mass using varied roof forms and elevations, building stepbacks, and
articulated facades, and proposes colors and materials which conform to the natural hillside
environment.
Planning Commission Resolution No.2021-17 Page 2
DocuSign Envelope ID:2B20D885-C2D5-416E-A49C-434D264B778E
ii. The proposed structure conforms to the 30-foot height limit specified in the Hillside Ordinance,
is sited to avoid privacy conflicts, and proposes a contemporary design that is compatible
with the varied architectural styles in the surrounding neighborhood. As such, the proposed
residence is compatible and complementary with the surrounding neighborhood with regard
to scale, design, and siting.
iii. The project site is a steeply sloped lot ranging from 28 to 40 percent. The residence is situated
on the lower portion of the lot and proposes to maintain the rear portion in its current natural
state including retention of existing trees, some of which are listed as protected species in the
City's IZO. Though the project proposes to remove four trees, none of the trees proposed for
removal are listed as protected in the City's Implementing Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore,the
project as proposed and conditioned will incorporate protective measures for trees located
on the adjacent property to the west. As such, the design and layout of the project is
respective of and protects the natural environment, consistent with this finding.
iv. Grading on the site will be minimal and is limited to the areas proposed for development
including circulation improvements and the building envelope. Retaining walls will be utilized
throughout the site to reduce the need to grade areas outside of the driveway and building
envelope and will be five feet or less in height, consistent with Section 16.050(F)(8) of the IZO
which establishes that retaining walls should not be higher than five feet. As such, the project
is consistent with this finding.
e. The project is consistent with Chapter 17 (Tree Preservation) of the Implementing Zoning
Ordinance, in that measures for protected trees on the adjacent property to the west have been
incorporated as conditions of approval in Exhibit 1, contained herein.
f. The project is consistent with Implementing Zoning Ordinance Section 24.010 - Site Plan and
Architectural Review, in that the project achieves satisfactory design quality and harmony as all
required findings in Section 24.010(G) can be made as follows:
i. The project proposes use of colors and materials that blend with the natural environment
including asphalt composition shingle and standing seam metal roofs in dark brown, smooth
finish cement plaster in white, natural wood-look fiber cement siding, and dark brown clad
wood window. In addition, the proportions of the overall design are articulated with
architectural features including varied roof forms and slopes, building projections, windows,
and accent siding that are harmonious with the overall design of the residence. As such, the
project is consistent with this finding and IZO Section 24.010(G)(1)(a).
ii. The proposed residence features elements of a contemporary architectural design which is
appropriate given that the PUD Guidelines encourage contrasting architectural forms, colors,
textures, and materials. Surrounding residences feature a variety of architectural styles that
differ from one another as well as from the proposed residence. The proposed residence
prominently features shed roof forms that are otherwise minimally present in the surrounding
neighborhood, providing additional variety of architectural design in the neighborhood. As
such, the architectural style of the residence is appropriate and compatible with the overall
neighborhood, consistent with this finding and IZO Section 24.010(G)(1)(b).
iii. The residence is located on a one-acre lot within a very low density residential neighborhood
where existing residences are characterized by large single-family homes on large lots. The
structure is sited consistent with applicable setbacks and is sited to respond to the natural
topography of the site, similar to other residences in the neighborhood and as such, the
project is consistent with this finding and IZO Section 24.010(G)(1)(c).
iv. As a residential development, the project is not proposing signs or outdoor advertising
structures, and therefore is not subject to this SPAR finding and IZO Section 24.010(G)(1)(d).
Planning Commission Resolution No.2021-17 Page 3
DocuSign Envelope ID:2B20D885-C2D5-416E-A49C-434D264B778E
V. The bulk and height of the structure has been designed in accordance with the established
PUD Guidelines and applicable height limits and is similar to the bulk and height of other
structures in the immediate neighborhood, which feature large, two-story residences with
varying roof heights and building stepbacks. The residence utilizes earth-toned colors which
are similar to those of surrounding residences and compatible with the surrounding natural
vegetation. As such, the project is consistent with this finding and IZO Section 24.010(G)(1)(e).
vi. The project will remove four unprotected trees to accommodate the new residence, and
existing trees on the adjacent property to the west will be protected during construction,
consistent with the City's regulations and recommendations provided by the project arborist.
The proposed landscape palette includes low to moderate water usage trees, shrubs,
perennials, grasses, and groundcovers which will be located between Wallenberg Way and
the residence, as well as along the west side of the new driveway, and along pedestrian paths
adjacent to the residence. As proposed and conditioned, the project is consistent with
applicable landscaping regulations including Appendix C of the SPAR Guidelines and as such
is consistent with this finding and IZO Section 24.010(G)(2).
vii. Access to the residence will be provided by the existing circulation system including
Wallenberg Way and Sunnyslope Road. The proposed driveway is located at the northwest
corner of the lot and has been designed consistent with applicable City standards. As such,
the project is consistent with this finding and IZO Section 24.010(G)(3).
C. Based on its review of the entire record herein, including the September 14, 2021 Planning
Commission staff report, all supporting, referenced, and incorporated documents, and all
comments received, the Planning Commission hereby approves Site Plan and Architectural
Review to construct a new single-family residential unit and associated site improvements,subject
to the conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
