Seconded by Karen Nau REZONING TWO PARCELS TOTALING .55 ACRES, APN 008-480-040 AND 008-480-015, TO PLANNED UNIT DISTRICT AND APPROVING THE UNIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS TO ALLOW FOR 5 RESIDENTIAL LOTS AT 3 EL ROSE DRIVE AND 2100 B STREET WHEREAS, by action taken on September 27, 2005, the Planning Commission considered the proposal and forwarded a recommendation to the City Council to approve the Rezoning to PUD; and, WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) have been satisfied through the preparation of an Initial Study and adoption of Resolution No. 2005-0179 N.C.S., approving a Mitigated Negative Declaration to address the specific impacts of the EI Rose Heights rezoning and subdivision; and, WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on the proposed project on October 17, 2005, after giving notice of said hearing, in the manner, for the period, and in the form required by Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S., as amended; and, WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the Rezoning. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council approves the Rezoning to Planned Unit District subject to the following Findings, Mitigation Measures, and Conditions: The proposed Amendment to Zoning Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S., to classify and rezone the subject parcels from Administrative and Professional Office (CO) to Planned Unit District (PUD) will result in a more desirable use of land and a better physical environment than would be possible under any single zoning district or combination of zoning districts. 2. The proposed uses comply with the Planned Unit District designation, which allows inclusion within its boundaries of a mixture of uses, or unusual density, building intensity, or design characteristics, which would not normally be permitted in a single use district, and to govern the development of residential projects.

The public necessity, convenience and welfare clearly permit and will be furthered by the proposed Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, reclassifying and rezoning the site to Planned Unit District. Pursuant to the provisions of Zoning Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S., and based upon the evidence it has received and in accordance with the findings made, the City Council hereby adopts an amendment to said Zoning Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S., so as to rezone said property herein referred to. The City Council hereby approves the Unit Development Plan and Planned Unit District Development Standards subject to the following Findings, Mitigation Measures, and Conditions: The Planned Unit District Development Guidelines describe permitted and accessory uses as well as those that would not be allowed to be established at this location. This specific list of uses prevents the creation of any nuisance to the existing surrounding uses. The requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) have been satisfied through the preparation of an Initial Study and the drafting of a Mitigated Negative Declaration to avoid or reduce to a level of insignificance, potential impacts generated by the proposed EI Rose Heights Planned Unit District. 3. In compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, an Initial Study was prepared for the rezoning of the site from Administrative and Professional Office (CO) to Planned Unit District (PUD). Based upon the Initial Study, a determination was made that no significant environmental impacts would result. A copy of this notice was published in the Argus-Courier and provided to owners and occupants within 500 feet of the site, in compliance with CEQA requirements. 4. The adoption of the PUD Development Standards, as conditioned, are in general conformity with the Petaluma General Plan and zoning regulations of the City of Petaluma as described in the project staff report. Additionally, the Fire Marshal and Engineering Division have prepared conditions of approval to address safety issues and design criteria for the design of the site. 5. The public necessity, convenience, and general welfare clearly permit the adoption of the proposed amendment in that the amendment will result in residential uses that are more appropriate and compatible with the existing surroundings uses. The density standard under the proposed Development Standards will be 9.08 units per acre which is appropriate for the site and consistent with the General Plan. The development standards for the proposed development present a unified and organized arrangement of buildings and facilities that are appropriate in relation to adjacent and nearby properties and adequate landscaping is included to ensure compatibility. The development standards shall also be reviewed and approved by the Site Plan and Architectural Review Committee. Ordinance No. 2227 N.C.S.
