2 rezone a 1.9 acre parcel, Assessor's Parcel Number 007-361-022, to be known as

4 with the Petaluma General Plan.
5
6 The proposed professional uses comply with the Mixed-Use General Plan
7 designation which allows a combination of residential, commercial or retail uses
8 on one parcel. Additionally, this proposal incorporates the policies and guidelines
9 of the Historic District Guidelines of Article 17 as well as the Planned. Unit
10 District of Article 19A of the Zoning Ordinance.
11
12 2. The public necessity, convenience and general welfare clearly permit and will be
13 furthered by the proposed Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, reclassifying and
14 rezoning the Martin Historic Plaza site to PUD.
15
16 The Planned Unit District Design Guidelines describe permitted and conditional
17 uses as well as those uses which would not be allowed to be established at this
18 location. This list of uses prevents the creation of any nuisance to the existing
19 adjacent commercial and residential uses.
20
21 3. The requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) have been
22 satisfied through the preparation of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
23 Declaration to avoid or reduce to a level of insignificance, potential impacts
24 generated by the proposed Martin Historic Plaza PUD.
25
26 In compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act,
27 an Initial Study was prepared for the rezoning of the site from R-1 6,500 One
28 Family District to Planned Unit District. Based upon the Initial Study, a
29 determination was made that with the incorporation of mitigation measures, no
30 significant environmental effects would result. A Notice of Intent to adopt a
31 Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. A copy of this Notice was
32 published in the Argus Courier and provided to residents and occupants within
33 300 ft. of the site, in compliance with CEQA requirements.

2 4. The subject property has a number of structures having a special historic
3 architectural and aesthetic interest and value, which would qualify it as a Historic
4 District. Additionally, the proposed rezoning is in conformance with the Petaluma
5 General Plan and will help to implement goals, objectives and programs of the
6 General Plan relating to the preservation of Petaluma's historical heritage. The
7 subject property has one or more individual structures or other features having a

14
15 The creation of a Planned Unit District (PUD) at this location specifically intends
16 to re-use an underutilized historic structure. Interior renovations will occur, but no
17 changes to the exterior of the structure are proposed. The PUD allows the
18 retention of existing structures, which have been deemed to be significant to the
19 Petaluma area. The new buildings will be designed to reflect the historical
20 character of the site.
21
22 Establishing a Historic District Overlay formally signif es that the structures at
23 this location are prominent landmarks. The preservation of these structures
24 ensures that they will remain as part of Petaluma's heritage and enhance its
25 character.
26
27 The preservation of the structures at this location and the PUD guidelines ensures
28 that any additional interior or exterior modification will be regulated by Article 17
29 of the Zoning Ordinance.
