That the PCD Development Standards allow for the continued operation of the
existing uses, and will result in more appropriate and compatible uses in the
district.
The proposed PCD will allow for a mix of uses commercial/office and residential
that is compatible with the existing surroundings uses. Design
guidelines/development standards have been prepared to ensure that the
proposed uses and structures are compatible with the surrounding uses. The
proposal results in a more desirable use of the land than would be possible under
any single zoning district or combination of zoning districts. The PCD would
provide a group of commercial, office and residential uses to supply the day-to-
day needs of the surrounding area.
2. That the plan for the proposed development presents a unified and organized
arrangement of buildings and service facilities which are appropriate in relation
to adjacent or nearby properties, and that adequate landscaping and/or
screening is included to ensure compatibility. Conditions have been
incorporated requiring design and development standards that are compatible
with neighboring developments.
3. That the proposed project has complied with the requirements of CEQA through
the preparation and adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for
this project, which addresses the potential environmental impacts associated
with its development, and a determination was made that no significant
environmental effects would result; therefore, no further environmental review is
required.
4. Adequate available public and private spaces are designated on the Planned
Community District Development Plan. Through mitigation measures and project
conditions, adequate building setbacks and other project amenities are
provided.
The Planned Community District provides for specific design criteria and
development standards, which regulate the proposed development of the site.
5. The development of the subject property project in the manner proposed by the
applicant, and as conditioned, 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.
The project, as conditioned, complies with the applicable provisions of the
Municipal Code and the General Plan. Both the Fire Marshal and the Engineering
Section have prepared conditions of approval to address fire safety issues, and
design criteria for the construction of the buildings.
6. The Park Square (a.k.a., Park Central) proposal will help the City further the
objectives, policies and programs of the Petaluma General Plan.
The project as proposed supports a number of Policies of the Petaluma General
Plan such as:

7 within the project site and within proximity to public parks. The subject property is in
8 close proximity to Rocky Dog Park, Adobe creek and Shollenberger Park. The
9 project will provide bike lanes along both sides of Casa Grande Road from
10 Lakeville Highway to the old tallow plant and along both sides of Technology Lane.
11
12 Land Use and Growth Management Element.
13
14 Policy 23. Convenience shopping in proximity to residential shall be encouraged.
15 The project will provide neighborhood-oriented shopping in approximately 26,000
16 square feet of commercial/retail space adjacent to the Lakeville Highway and

18 feet of commercial, R&D, office and other retail uses. as defined in the Park
19 Square PCD Development Standards/Guidelines, excluding residential and home
20 occupation uses on the parcel east of Telecom Lane.

23 where adequate City facilities are available or will be provided with
24 development. Park Square will rely on new site infrastructure just constructed to
25 serve a previously approved business park. All roads and utilities have adequate
26 capacity to serve the proposed development.
27
28 Open Space, Conservation, and Energy Element.
29
30 Policy 25. Developers shall provide adequate drainage and erosion control
31 during construction. The developer will be required to conform to City and State
32 regulations by providing an erosion control and storm water pollution prevention
33 plan, which shall be adhered throughout the project construction.

38 population. The needs include creek side systems; trail ways for pedestrians,
39 joggers, and bicyclists, and non-traditional types of recreation such as habitat
40 restoration projects, community gardens, and skateboarding. The proposed
41 project will provide private and public open spaces within the project. The
42 proposed project includes the installation of bikeways and is in close proximity to
43 Rocky Dog Park, Adobe Creek and Shollenberger Park.
