1 Seetion 4. Pursuant to the Provisions of Zoning Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S., as amended
2 the City Council finds as follows:
3
4 Rezoning F'indin~s:
5
6 1. The development plan as conditioned results in a more desirable use of the land and
7 a better physical environment than would be possible under any single zoning
8 district by allowing the construction of large single family units with substantial area
9 of landscaping along the creek in a separate open space parcel.
10
11 2. The plan for the proposed development, as conditioned, presents a unified and
12 organized arrangement of buildings which are appropriate in relation to nearby
13 properties and the PUD plan will be reviewed by SPARC to insure compatibility.
14
15 3. The development of the Liberty Farms property in the manner proposed by the
16 applicant, and as conditioned by the City, will not be detrimental to the public
17 welfare, will be in the best interest of the City, and will be in keeping with the
18 general intent and spirit of the Corona/Ely Specific Plan, the Zoning Regulations
19 and the General Plan of the City of Petaluma.
20
21 4. The circulation pattern of the proposed Planned Unit Development Plan has been
22 reviewed in the context of the development of the adjacent Colabianchi, Corona
23 Creek, Matelli and Chiosi properties, and has been designed to be compatible with
24 the adjacent circulation patterns. Cumulative traffic impacts from the development
25 of the Corona/Ely area have been addressed and mitigated through the
26 implementation of the Corona/Ely Specific Plan.

1 S. 'The proposed project has complied with the requirements of CEQA pursuant to
2 Section 15182 of the Guidelines, through preparation and certification of the EIR
3 for the Corona/Ely Specific Plan on May 1st, 1989 (Resolution No. 89-123 N.C.S.),
4 which addressed the potential environmental impacts associated with the
5 development of the Liberty Farms parcel, and no further environmental analysis is
6 necessary.
7
8 6. Allowing the maintenance road on the southeast side of "Stonehenge Way" to
9 function as the pedestrian sidewalk within the Corona Creek flood corridor will be
10 consistent with the purpose of the flood control corridor and will improve access to
11 the creek. The reduction in creek corridor width by 5' will not negatively impact the
12 hydrology of the creek corridor. The purpose of the corridor is to mitigate the loss
13 of open space and mitigate the biological impacts of the Corona/Ely Specific Plan.
14
15 7. The natural and scenic qualities of the site will be protected through the
16 improvement, dedication and preservation of the Corona Creek corridor in
17 conformance with the Corona/Ely Specific Plan. T'he development plan provides
18 for adequate public open space along the creek and adequate private open space in
19 the individual front and rear yards.
20
21 IF ANY SECTION, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase or word of this ordinance is for
22 any reason held to be unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision
23 shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of
24 the City of Petaluma hereby declares that it would ha~e passed and adopted this ordinance
25 and each and all provisions thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more of said
26 provisions be declared unconstitutional.
