Res. No..........9~J.-.3.0.1.... N.C.S.
Findings for PUD Amendment No. 2:
1. The amended development plan as conditioned, results in a more desirable use of
the land, and a better physical environment than would be possible under any single
zoning district or combination of zoning districts.
2. The amended plan for the proposed development, as conditioned, presents a unified
and organized arrangement of buildings which are appropriate in relation to
adjacent and nearby properties and associated proposed projects, and adequate
landscaping and/or screening is included if necessary to insure compatibility.
3. The natural and scenic qualities of the site will be protected through the
implementation of conditions of approval pertaining to landscape areas and
adequate available public and private spaces are designated on the Unit
Development Plan.
4. The development of the subject property, in the manner proposed by the applicant
and conditioned by the City,. will not be detrimental to the public welfare, will be in
the best interests of the City and will be in keeping with the general intent and spirit
of the zoning regulations of the City of Petaluma and with the Petaluma General
Plan.
5. The development is proposed on property which has a suitable relationship to one
or more thoroughfares (Sonoma Mountain Parkway) to carry any additional traffic
generated by the development.
6. The use of a private court and common driveways as proposed for cluster units
contributes to a more efficient use of land than would be possible through use of
standard public streets, and enforcement of conditions of approval and applicable
provisions in the project CC&R's will ensure that the development will function
adequately as designed.
7. This project has complied with the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) through preparation and certification of the Corona/Ely
Specific Plan EIR, and is exempt from further review, based upon Section 15182 of
the CEQA Guidelines, consistency with the Corona/Ely Specific Plan.

4 ownership of these areas.
