Additionally, this proposal incorporates the policies and guidelines of the PUD-Planned Unit District of Article 19A of the Zoning Ordinance. 3. 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 pre-zone said property herein referred to. The City Council hereby approves the Unit Development Plan and Planned Unit District Development Guidelines subject to the following Findings, Mitigation Measures, and Conditions: 1. The Planned Unit District Development Guidelines describe permitted and conditional 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. 2. 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 Woodridge Planned Unit District. In compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, an Initial Study was prepared for the rezoning of the site from R1-6,500 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 residents and occupants within 500 feet of the site, in compliance with CEQA requirements. The adoption of the PUD Development Guidelines, 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 Guidelines will be 2.6 units per acre (without the private street) which is appropriate for the site and consistent with the General Plan. The guidelines for the proposed development will present a unified and organized arrangement of buildings and' facilities that are appropriate in relation to adjacent and nearby properties and adequate Ordinance No. 2206 N.C.S.

The guidelines shall also be reviewed and approved by the Site Plan and Architectural Review Committee.
