, N.C.S., adopting a mitigated. negative declaration of environmental effect for the Project;
and
NOW THEREFORE,- BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PETALIJIVIA AS FOLILOWS:
Section 1. PUD Findings
The City Council finds as follows in support of the Rezoning o Planned Unit District for The
Birches, a 21-Unit Single-Famil~Subdivision, at 870 Wood. Sorrel Drive (the Project
A. The proposed Amendment to Zoning Ordinance No. 2300 N.C.S., to amend the Planned
Community District (PCD) zoning :district to a Planned Unit. District (The Birches PUD)
to develop the site as a 21-unit single-family subdivision is in general conformity with the
Petaluma General Plan 2025. The proposed 21 residences comply with the 2025 General
Plan land use designation of the site as Medium Density Residential (MDR) which allows
17
a variety of residential types at a density of 8.1 to 18 dwelling units to the net acre. The
proposed density is compatible with that range, as .12:5 dwelling units to the net acre are
proposed. As the subject 2.2-acre parceLis essentially-flat, without native/protected trees,
accessible- from two public .streets, and immediately abutting other single-family
subdivisions; development at this density is appropriate. '
B. The proposed rezoning to PUD is.consistent with the,Petaluma Interim Zoning Ordinance
in that it incorporates the policies and guidelines of the Planned Unit District Chapter 19
of the Implementing Zoning Ordinance. The proposed development is planned on a
property which has a suitable relationship to one or more thoroughfares (Wood Sorrel
and Yarberry Drives), and said thoroughfare with the improvements required, is adequate-
to carry the traffic generated by the development: The Project is consistent with the
Zoning Ordinance because it' clearly results in a ...more desirable use of land and a better
physical environment than would be possible under any single zoning district. In
summary,. this project is similar to a project that could be developed under the single
zoning district R4. Development under the PUD will result,, both now and in the future,
in a project with larger setbacks abutting the existing residents than required by R4
(except at Lot 4), and therefore development under the PUD appears more compatible
with the existing neighborhood. For the neighborhood,; this will result in a better physical
environment than if the parcel were developed under a standard zoning designation.
Furthermore, the additional project. details and the additional regulation about future
modifications represent - to the City and specifically to .the nearest neighbors -cause for
finding that development of this land under the Birdies PUD is more desirable than
development under standard R4 zoning.
C. The public necessity, convenience, and general welfare clearly permit and will be
furthered by the proposed PUD zoning in that the' amended zoning designation will result
in single-family housing, a use that is appropriate and compatible with the existing
surrounding uses: The project plans present a.unified and organized arrangement of lots
and private streets, appropriate #o adjacent and nearby properties. Proposed landscaping
would further ensure compatibility. The proposed project would also require review and
approval by the Site Plan and Architectural Review Committee.
D. The .requirements of he 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 air quality
and noise impacts .generated by the proposed project.. In compliance with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, an .Initial Study was prepared
for the PUD rezoning of the property. 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. Viand provided to residents and occupants within 500 feet
of the site, in compliance with CEQA. requirements.
Section 2. Severability - '
If any provision of this ordinance, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held
invalid, the remainder of the. ordinance, including, the application of such part or provision to
other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in full force and
18
effect. To~this end, provisions of this ordinance. are severable. The City Council hereby declares
that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision; paragraph, sentence, clause, or
phrase hereof irrespective of the fact that any one or' more sections, subsections, subdivisions,.
paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases be held unconstitutional, invalid, or unenforceable.
Section 3. Effective Date
This ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days. after the date of its adoption by the
Petaluma City Council.
Section 4. Publication
The City Clerk_is hereby directed to post and/or publish this ordinance or a synopsis of it for the
period and in the manner required by the City Charter.

RESOLUTION OF TIIE PETALUMA CITE' COUNCIL
APPROVING THE UNIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND
DEVELOPMENT STANI)AItDS FOR
THE BIRCHES PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, APN 137-061-022
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission filed with .the City .:Council its report. set forth in its
minutes of March 24 and May 12, 2009, recommending approval of a Unit .Development Plan
and Development Standards for the.Birches Planned Unit Development ("the Project"); and
WI-IERE~AS, the City Council held a noticed public hearing on said Unit Development Plan and
Development Standards. on July 6 and August. 3, 2009; and
WHEI~AS, on August 3, 2009,, _in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), 14 .California Code of Regulations Sections .15000 eY seq. (CEQA Guidelines) and the
City of Petaluma Environmental Guidelines, the City `Council adopted Resolution No. 2009-
, N.C.S., adopting a mitigated negative declaration of environmental effect for the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE DE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby find:
The Plan clearly results in a more desirable use of -land. and in a' better physical
environment than would be possible under any single zoning district.
In summary, this project is similar to.a project that co_ uld be developed under the single
zoning district R4. Development under the PUD will result, both now and in the future,
in a project with larger setbacks abutting the existing; residents than required by R4
. (except. at Lot 4), and therefore development under `,the. PUD appears more compatible
with "the existing neighborhood. For the neighborhood, this will result in a better physical
environment than if developed. under a standard zoning designation. Furthermore, the
additional project details :and -the additional regulation about future modifications
represent - to the City and specifically to the nearest neighbors -cause for finding that
development of this land under the Birches PUD is more desirable than development
under standard R4 zoning..
2. The PUD District is proposed on property which. has a suitable relationship to one or
more thoroughfares; and said thoroughfare is adequate to carry any additional traffic
generated by the development.
The Project sits. directly on Wood- Sorrel. and I'arberry Drives and access to the 21 single-
family homes will be via a private street that connects between these existing public
streets. The traffic; impact study prepared .for the proposed project concluded that the
levels of .service (LOS) at the three studied intersections of North McDowell
Boulevard/Southpoint Boulevard,. Wood Sorrel Drive/Southpoint Boulevard, and Wood
Sorrel Drive/Yarberry Drive would be unchanged at LOS A or B, in the existing condition,
if project traffic were to, be: added. The study also concluded that the three intersections
would '.lie at.LOS A or B (Table S -Traffic Analysis) under both the future conditions
20
-'~
scenario and the future plus .project conditions scenario. In conclusion, when the subject
site is fully developed as proposed, the study intersections are expected to operate at the
same levels of service in both the existing and the projected future condition with or
without the project, and with only an incremental increase in delay due to these added
project trips. The traffic study also evaluated the proposed circulation and determined that
the sight distances from each proposed street. connection is equal to or great than the
Caltrans standard of 275 feet.
3. 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 adequate landscaping and/or screening is included if necessary to insure
compatibility.
The rear yard setbacks of the proposed single-family units are similar to adjacent
residential subdivisions which were also developed as Planned Unit Districts. Care has
been taken (and conditions adopted) to ensure privacy between the turn-around area and
the nearest property line so that. privacy to those back yards is not unduly impacted. Site
Plan and Architectural Review of house and landscaping design will further ensure that
the development arrangement is appropriate to the neighborhood. The PUD
Development Standards will further ensure that the impact of later additions/
modifications is minimized.
4. The natural and scenic qualities .of the site are protected, with adequate available public
and private spaces designated on the Unit Development Plan.
The project site lacks any significant natural or scenic qualities; it . is vacant, flat, and
without native or protected trees. Some of the, off-site redwood trees are large enough to
be considered protected trees and extra precautions and bonding is required for these.
Each residential lot has between 876 to 1,502 square feet of usable open space, far more
than would be required by R4.
5. The development of the .subject property, in the manner proposed by the applicant, 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, with the Petaluma General Plan, and with any applicable plans adopted by the
City.
An Initial Study that evaluated potential environmental impacts associated with the
project determined that no significant unmitigated environmental effects would result
from this proposal. The project utilizes land efficiently by promoting infill development,
at equal or higher density and intensity than surrounding uses,. while preserving the overall
scale and character of the established residential neighborhoods. On site, narrow streets
with a sidewalk on each side have been utilized with .the aim of creating apedestrian-
scaled street environment. Extensive street trees are proposed to improve air quality and
aesthetics. The project is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan.
21
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Resolution shall become effective upon the
effective date of Ordinance No. N.C.S., Approval of Rezoning to a Planned Unit
District (PUD) for The Birches Subdivision, which is thirty (30) days after the date of the
adoption of said ordinance by the Petaluma City Council.
NOW, TIEREFORE BE IT FUIZTIIER RESOLVED. that the City Council does hereby
approve, pursuant to the provisions~of Zoning Ordinance No, 2300 N.C.S. and based upon the
evidence contained in the record of proceedings and/or received at or before the hearing of this
matter, The Birches Unit Development Plan set. forth in Exhibit A and the Development
Standards for The Birches Planned Unit District set forth in Exhibit B, subject to the conditions
set forth in Resolution No. 2009- , N.C.S., approving the Tentative Subdivision Map.

V. ARCHITECTURAI. DESIGN
A. Thearchitectural design objectives for The Birches are to create a
community following the Traditional Neighborhood Design concept. The
most important,aspeet in~the TND concept is a pedestrian friendly
neighborhood: The~architecfure achieves Phis by pairing homes according
to garage location. The garage in one plan fn the .pair is forward, while the
garage of the other plan'is deeply recessed,. thus forming a "two-pack°
concept. The "two=pack" concept ensures that;the. street-scene will not
be d'ominated'by garages. Additionally, aH plans include functional front
porches to further promote a pedestrian friendly streetscape. These
porches further promote TND by creating.. a softer street edge for every
house: Also, all "garage forward" plans: will have architectural elements
pulled in front of°the garage for varied articulations°and massing.
The architectural'themes, Craftsman, Bungalow and Cottage, were
chosen to reflect he context of the City of Petaluma. Materials. and colors
true to.each style are used for each elevation. ~In the Craftsman theme,
shallow pitched roofs, long overhangs, exposed rafter tails,. tapered wood
columns, enhanced'gabte-end details, out lookers,,roof brackets, lapped
sidings, stone. veneers;., decorative porch, railings and other authentic
details are incorporated to further enrich the characteristics of"this style.
The Bungalow theme; ,utilized shallow pitched roofs, :extended fascia
details at gable-end. roofs, enhanced gable-end trusses, detailed out
lookers, Papered stone veneer columns with wood- posts, tongue and.
groove sidings, stone:veneers, pot shelf brackets,: decorative porch
railingsand.various trims to further enhance the theme. In the Cottage
theme;: steeper roof-pitches are used; as well as wood posts with brick
veneer bases, decorative porch railings, enhanced gable-end louvered
details, Cottage style: shutters,. mixture oflapped sidings and shingles,
brick veneers and authentic trims. Trellises are added to some af`the
"garage forward"plans to further enhance the elevations. Porte-
Cocheres with gates are included in some deep recessed garage plans to
.promote' privacy and safety #or the homeowners. Careful details and
expressive styling will ensure that The Birches will be an attractive and a
valuable addition to the Petaluma.
