dwelling, the CCRs shall reflect this change.
WHEREAS, the eight conditions of approval to recommend non-binding changes to the project are
intended to encourage development that aligns with community interests, and reflect Commission
preferences in order to guide integration of similar elements into future development proposals, and to
inform future amendment of Citywide housing policy and development standards; and
WHEREAS, the eight recommended changes to the project to be added as conditions of approval will
be as follows:
1. The color palette shown on Sheet CS1 in the Architectural Plans should be additionally
documented using paint color formulas and incorporated into the CCRs to ensure that
any repainting is completed only with the approved colors shown on Sheet CS1.
2. For pathway and building lighting facing Adobe Creek, or within the Bio-retention
area, consider light placement and height to minimize spill-over lighting to the Adobe
Creek riparian corridor. In addition, to the extent practicable, consider lighting that is
motion sensitive to only provide illumination when needed.
3. Where feasible, avoid the use of vinyl windows in accordance with Section 7.120.E.1.d
of the Petaluma IZO.
4. Consider expanding the list of trees to be planted in the front yards and consider
replacing Arbutus marina and Olea europea with other species to maximize tree canopy
coverage and lifespan.
5. Consider increasing the use of natives, to be at least 60% of the total plant palette.
6. Consider enhancing the appearance of the projecting overhangs proposed for the three-
story buildings by adding corbels, brackets, or other appropriate detailing.
7. Consider using architectural design elements and/or color to add interest and to better
define or enhance the entries to each dwelling.
8. Consider hiring construction workers from the local labor pool.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission as follows:
I. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.
II. Based on the staff report, staff presentation, comments received, and the public hearing, the
Planning Commission makes the following findings based on substantial evidence in the record:
A. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Planning Commission finds:
1. That the Creekwood Housing Development Final EIR (SCH #2022100452), inclusive
of the Draft EIR, Final EIR, references, appendices, and all attachments thereto were
prepared and completed in compliance with the requirements of CEQA Guidelines
Section 15132.
2. That the Final EIR Certified by the City Council, along with the Findings of Fact
regarding potentially significant effects of the Project, the Statement of Overriding
Considerations which balanced specific economic, legal, social, technological, and
other benefits of the Project with its unavoidable environmental impacts related to
greenhouse gases and vehicle miles traveled, and the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program, are adequate for the purpose of considering SPAR and address this
Docusign Envelope ID: DC93AA24-ECCB-4AEA-997C-3CE3A36D845E
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2025-01 Page 6 of 10
action as part of the Final EIR’s scope.
B. General Plan. The Planning Commission finds that the project is consistent with the 2025
General Plan as follows:
1. The proposed project is consistent with Policy 1-P-2 in that it promotes the efficient
use of land by developing an infill site designated Medium Density Residential in the
General Plan at a density that is similar to the adjacent residential uses to the south with
the same land use designation as the project, at a residential density of 14.49 dwellings
per acre that is within the allowed density range for the Medium Density Residential
land use category.
2. The proposed project furthers Policy 1-P-14 by including new landscaping, including
new street trees along the Casa Grande frontage and new trees along the private street,
in the front yards and in the open space areas of the site. The project also includes onsite
parking and pedestrian access improvements including a five-foot sidewalk along the
Casa Grande frontage and along the interior private street, and 10-foot-wide multi-use
path along the riparian corridor on the easterly edge of the site with connections to the
sidewalk along the interior private street. In addition, the robust planting plan, including
street trees and low-growing shrubs are included along the Casa Grande frontage and
along the interior private street to help integrate and blend the development with the
surrounding residential uses. Additionally, the riparian corridor along Adobe Creek on
the easterly edge of the site maintains a buffer between the proposed development and
the single-family neighborhood on the opposite side of the creek. Therefore, the project
provides an effective transition between existing low-density single-family uses to the
east and the medium-density multifamily use to the north.
3. The proposed project is consistent with Policy 1-P-48 because it would connect to
existing infrastructure with capacity to serve the site. The project would connect to the
existing water, sanitary sewer and joint trench mains within the Casa Grande Road
right-of-way. A network of storm drain inlets and pipes would collect storm water
runoff from the site and convey the water to two on-site storm water detention/quality
areas for treatment before being discharged into Adobe Creek. The design of the storm
water treatment facilities for the site is based on a Storm Water Treatment and Control
Plan prepared in compliance with the Bay Area Storm Water Management Agencies
Association guidelines.
4. The proposed project is consistent with Policy 1-P-49, because while the project would
result in the removal of one protected tree, and seven ornamental and non-native fruit
trees, the removal could not be feasibly avoided, and 88 new trees would be planted at
a number well in excess of those to be removed. In addition, two mitigation trees would
be planted in accordance with IZO Section 17.065, to offset the loss of the protected
tree.
5. The proposed project is consistent with Policy 4-P-3, as detailed in the Biological
Resources Analysis prepared for the project, because the site does not contain suitable
habitat for state or federal endangered, threatened, or rare species, and while it does
contain suitable habitat for nesting birds, to comply with the MMRP, a bird nesting
survey will be performed by a qualified biologist to prevent any incidental takes.
6. The proposed project is consistent with Policy 4-P-19 because it will be constructed
consistent with the requirements of the Building Code and will encourage renewable
Docusign Envelope ID: DC93AA24-ECCB-4AEA-997C-3CE3A36D845E
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2025-01 Page 7 of 10
energy by including rooftop solar.
7. The project is consistent with Policies 5-P-22, 5-P-23 & 5-P-31 because pedestrian and
bicycle site access will be provided by the five-foot-wide public sidewalk along the
Casa Grande frontage of the project site and the new sidewalk along the private street.
8. The project is consistent with Policy 7-P-27 because the project is not located with the
City’s mapped Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) and the project was reviewed for
compliance by the City’s Fire Department, and, through compliance with the City’s
Emergency Operations Plan, the proposed project would not impair implementation of
or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency
evacuation plan and would not expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly,
to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires.
C. 2023-2031 Housing Element. The Planning Commission finds that the project furthers the
policies and programs of the Housing Element as follows:
1. The project is consistent with Policy 1.4 of the 2023-2031 Housing Element in that the
project will add to the mix of housing types available through the inclusion of detached
and attached single-family dwellings consisting of 3 detached dwellings, 16 duplex
dwellings and 24 triplex dwellings, to include nine affordable housing dwellings would
be dispersed throughout the site in compliance with the City’s Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance, IZO Section 3.040.
2. The project is consistent with Policy 1.5 of the 2023-2031 Housing Element because it
will include 14.49 dwellings per acre, which is above the midpoint of the 8.1-18.0
hu/acre density range allowed by the Medium Density Residential land use designation.
3. The project is consistent with Policy 2.2 and 2.3 of the 2023-2031 Housing Element
because it was processed under Housing Accountability Act, which provided
streamlined review and limited the number of public hearings. Therefore, this
application for affordable and market rate housing has been processed with greater
certainty
4. The project is consistent with Policy 3.3 of the 2023-2031 Housing Element because
the project would provide affordable housing for five low-income and four moderate-
income households.
5. The project furthers Policy 6.4 of the 2023-2031 Housing Element because it integrates
nine affordable dwellings interspersed throughout the development in an existing
neighborhood which includes attached and detached single-family housing and
multifamily senior housing.
6. The project is consistent with Program 4 of the 2023-2031 Housing Element because
the project makes efficient use of land zoned for Medium Density development by
proposing 59 dwelling units attached (56 attached in triplex or duplex format)
dwellings and three detached at a density of 14.49 dwellings per acre.
Docusign Envelope ID: DC93AA24-ECCB-4AEA-997C-3CE3A36D845E
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2025-01 Page 8 of 10
D. Compliance with IZO Sections 3.040 & 4.020.G, IZO Tables 4.2 & 4.9, and IZO Chapter
11. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed uses are allowed by-right as
permitted uses within the R4 zone, and the site would be developed consistent with all
applicable development standards of the R4 zone, including but not limited to, those
pertaining to setback, height, lot coverage, usable open space, and residential density, the
project provides at least 15% of the units for low and moderate income households, and
the project provides more than the minimum number of the automobile and bicycle parking
spaces.
E. Site Plan and Architectural Review Findings. The Planning Commission finds that the
project is consistent with IZO Section 24.050.E in that the required findings can be made
as follows:
1. The project is consistent with IZO Section 24.050.E.1 because the building features
and materials result in a project that includes quality materials that is harmonious and
in proportion on this site, and in relation to the residential development adjacent to the
project, by using exterior finishes that consist of smooth finish stucco, horizontal siding
and vertical batten and board siding, and articulated rooflines with composition
shingles, the use of six color palettes consisting of earth tone tans and greys with
blueish/greys and reddish/brown accents to differentiate each dwelling on the site, jogs
in the building footprint that help reduce the apparent size and mass of the buildings,
and the patterns and use of varied exterior finishes, door and window trim, and porch
columns, add details reminiscent of Farmhouse, Cottage, and Contemporary design
styles. Also, the proposed bulk and mass, general site layout, and architectural design
is very similar to the adjacent development in the Makenna development.
2. The project is consistent with IZO Section 24.050.E.1.a because the architectural styles
are appropriate for the project, and compatible with the character of the neighborhood.
The project contains three design styles: Farmhouse, American Cottage, and
Contemporary. Design elements include horizontal and vertical siding with board and
batten elements and modest roof pitches on the Farmhouses buildings, window shutters
and shingle siding accents on the American Cottage buildings, and horizontal siding,
stone accents, shed roof elements, and metal roof accents on the Contemporary design
buildings. In addition, the design choices are appropriate in that they provide visual
interest to the streetscape and complement the scale and design of the single- family
residences in the neighborhoods to the south and east and the Casa Grande Senior
Apartments to the north.
3. The project is consistent with IZO Section 24.050.E.1.b because the siting of the
dwellings on the property is appropriate for the site and as compared to the siting of
other structures in the neighborhood. The proposed three-story buildings are limited to
the northern portion of the site adjacent to the parking lot for the Casa Grande Senior
Apartments. The balance of the site would contain two-story dwellings; the setback for
dwellings that would abut Casa Grande Road would be the same as what exists on the
Casa Grande Senior Apartments or Makenna site, and setback for the 13 dwellings that
would abut Makenna would exceed the setback present for the Makenna site.
4. The project is consistent with IZO Section 24.050.E.1.c because the size, location,
design, color, number, lighting, and materials of all signs and outdoor advertising
structures will be considered if signs are proposed and when a sign permit application
is submitted.
Docusign Envelope ID: DC93AA24-ECCB-4AEA-997C-3CE3A36D845E
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2025-01 Page 9 of 10
5. The project is consistent with IZO Section 24.050.E.1.d because the bulk, height, and
color of the proposed structures are appropriate as compared to the bulk, height, and
color of other structures in the neighborhood. Two-story single-family structures are
located on adjacent properties to the east and south and the two-story Casa Grande
Senior Apartments are located to the north. Casa Grande High School is located to the
west, across the street from the project site. The mass and height of the surrounding
structures are comparable to the mass and height of the proposed project. Likewise, a
range of colors are used including neutral tones and earthtone tans. The 13 dwellings
that would abut the Makenna site would mirror the building width and height present
on the Makenna site.
6. The project is consistent with IZO Section 24.050.E.2 because new landscaping would
be installed in accordance with applicable City standards and appropriate for the site
and compatible with the character or design of the neighborhood in that proposed
landscaping would include 50 new native and 38 new non-native trees, and the
proposed landscaping is compatible with the character of the neighborhood and only
trees necessary to allow reasonable development of the site are proposed for removal.
In addition, the proposed landscaping to be installed in the bio-retention area of the site
would also include pedestrian pathways and bench seating similar to what was installed
for the adjacent development in the Makenna development.
7. The project is consistent with IZO Section 24.050.E.3 because ingress, egress, internal
circulation for bicycles and automobiles, off-street automobile parking, bicycle parking
facilities, and pedestrian ways are designed to promote safety and convenience and
conform to approved City standards. In addition, pedestrian access would be provided
by a five-foot-wide public sidewalk along the Casa Grande Road frontage of the project
site and along the interior private street. Two-car garages would be provided for each
triplex with vehicular access along driveways serving two sets of triplexes. Each duplex
would be provided with individual driveways that can accommodate two cars plus a
one-car garage. Eight parallel parking spaces are provided on the segment of the private
street on which the triplexes front, and 17 perpendicular parking spaces are provided
on the easterly segment of the private street.
8. The project is consistent with IZO Section 24.050.E.4 because the project was
professionally designed by a CA-licensed architect with extensive local experience and
is of good character and quality.
9. The project is consistent with IZO Section 24.050.E.5 because an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the project and certified by the City Council on
December 16, 2024, demonstrating compliance with CEQA.
10. The project is consistent with IZO Section 24.050.E.6 because the proposed structures
and use, subject to any conditions which may apply, conforms with the applicable
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and applicable policies and programs of the
City’s General Plan and any applicable specific plan, and the proposed use will not,
under the circumstances of this application, constitute a nuisance or be detrimental to
the public welfare of the community. In addition, the proposed land use of new
dwellings is allowed by right, and the layout and design of the new dwellings will not
constitute a nuisance or be detrimental to the public welfare of the community as they
conform with the applicable requirements of the Implementing Zoning Ordinance and
applicable policies and programs of the Petaluma General Plan.

F. Tree Removal Findings. The Planning Commission finds that findings to deny the removal
of a healthy tree that is required for this project cannot be made because the project was
designed to limit the need to remove native trees within the riparian corridor, however, one
native, a California Buckeye, would need to be removed to facilitate the proposed
stormwater outfall into Adobe Creek. Because of slope and other native trees, relocating
this outfall is not feasible, without impacting other native trees near Adobe Creek. For these
reasons, the trimming, thinning or other treatment called for by IZO Section 17.060.E.1.b,
is not a feasible alternative. In addition, the removal of the tree is consistent with IZO
Section 17.060.E.2, because the removal will not result in problems with drainage, erosion,
land instability, or loss of windscreen as they are small, dispersed trees on a flat site that
do not provide these benefits. Two mitigation trees would be planted in accordance with
IZO Section 17.065.
G. Based on its review of the entire record herein, including the March 11, 2025, Planning
Commission staff report, all supporting, referenced, and incorporated documents and all
comments received and foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves Site
Plan and Architectural Review for the Creekwood Housing Development, located at 270
& 280 Casa Grande Road, subject to the conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit
A, for the project depicted in Exhibits B, C, D, E, F & G.
