environment than would be possible under any single zoning district or combination of
zoning districts.
The proposed uses comply with the Special Industrial/Office Park General Plan designation,
which allows for acampus-type development for employers who would contribute to the
City's objective of increasing employment densities. Additionally, this proposal incorporates
the policies and guidelines of the PUD-Planned Unit District of Article 19A of the Zoning
Ordinance.
2. The public necessity, convenience and welfare clearly permit and will be furthered by the
proposed Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, reclassifying and rezoning the subject
property to Planned Unit District.
The Planned Unit District Guidelines/Development Standards describe permitted and
conditional uses as well as those that would not otherwise be allowed to be established at this
location. This specific list of uses prevents the creation of any nuisance to the existing
surrounding uses.
3. The requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) have been satisfied
through the preparation of a Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR), which analyzed the
potential environmental impacts of the General Plan Amendment, and represents an adequate
documentation of the environmental implications and possible mitigation measures of the
proposed project for use in decision-making. The City Council has made written findings for
each significant impact, which are supported by substantial evidence in the record, and all
feasible mitigation measures, as identified in the Final EIR prepared for the Redwood
Technology Center are herein incorporated into the project and/or as conditions of project
approval. A copy of Notice of Availability of the Draft EIR was published in the Argus
Courier and provided to residents and occupants within 300 feet of the site, in compliance
with City of Petaluma CEQA requirements.
Section 4. 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 reclassify and rezone
said property herein referred to, in accordance with the recommendation of the Planning
Commission.
Section 5. The City Clerk is hereby directed to post this Ordinance for the period and in the
manner required by the City Charter.

reason held to be unconstitutional, unlawful or otherwise invalid by a court of competent.
