Introduced by Councilmember

Seconded by Councilmember
Matt Maguire
AN EXTENSION TO THE INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE
CITY OF PETALUMA TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING THE RECEIPT,
PROCESSING OR APPROVAL OF PERMITS FOR
COMMUNICATION TOWERS AND/OR RELATED FACILITIES
Be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Petaluma, County of Sonoma, State of
California, as follows:
26 SECTION 1: The City Council found on December 18, 1995 that the provisions of the
27 Petaluma Zoning Ordinance insufficiently addresses the special nature of communication
28 towers and/or related facilities and that such communication towers and/or related
29 facilities present a potentially significant impact to the community's scenic vistas and
3o viewsheds which are of vital importance to the community character, historic flavor and
31 tourist industry economy as well as a potential impact to the provision of
32 communications without interference.
33
34 SECTION 2: The City Council found that the establishment of additional
35 communication towers and/or related facilities without specific guidelines and procedures
36 for the review of such facilities, could degrade the quality of life in Petaluma and.
37 adversely affect the health and welfare of the community and its residents.

3 Interim Ordinance suspending receipt, processing or approval of permits for
4 communication towers and/or related facilities within the City for 45 days.
s
6 SECTION 4: The City Council finds that specific regulations and standards .should be
7 established and adopted in the Petaluma Municipal Code, and possibly the Zoning
8 Ordinance to regulate communication towers and/or related facilities and that additional
9 time is needed to review, establish, and adopt said regulations and standards; and that,
l0 therefore an extension of the Interim Ordinance for a period not to exceed 120 days is
1 l necessary to allow the establishment and adoption of these regulations.
12
13 SECTION 5: Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Petaluma Municipal Code or
l4 any other Ordinance or regulations of the City of Petaluma to the contrary, no application
i 5 for communication towers and/or related facilities shall be accepted, processed, approval
16 or granted while this Ordinance is in effect.
17
18 SECTION 6: With regard to any .application for communication towers and/or related
19 facilities under review by the City, unless exempted by the original Interim Ordinance, no
20 further processing shall occur.

23 and/or related activities in use or which has received approval of a conditional use permit
24 prior to the date of the adoption of this Ordinance.

27 reason held to be unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision
28 shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council
