Introduced by Councilman Seconded by Councilman Michael Davis Brian Sobel AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 1072 N.C.S. AS AMENDED, BY RECLASSIFYING AND REZONING ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBERS 008-294-5,7,13, AND A PORTION OF 14, FROM R-1-6,500 TO R-C; BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, APPLICANT BE IT ORDAINED by the Council for the City of Petaluma as follows: 24 Section 1. The City Council finds that the Planning Commission considered an application 25 by the Petaluma Boys and Girls Club to amend Zoning Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S., as 26 amended, to reclassify and rezone certain lands on the south side of 8th Street between F 27 and G Streets, during a public hearing on July 23, 1991; after giving notice of said hearing 28 in the manner, for the period, and in the form required by said Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S. 29 as amended; and 30 31 Section 2. The City Council further finds that at said Planning Commission hearing on July 32 23, 1991, a motion to amend the zoning ordinance as requested failed because the motion 33 was not supported by asuper-majority of Commission members; and 34 35 Section 3. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 27-600 of Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S., as 36 amended, the Boys and Girls Club appealed the action of the Commission to deny the 37 proposed rezoning; and the City Council considered the appeal on August 19, 1991 during 38 which time public testimony was heard and considered prior to the Council rendering its 39 decision; and 40 41 Section 5. Pursuant to the provisions of Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S., as amended, the 42 Council moved to revise the proposal and reduce the subject site to include only the vacant 1 Ord. 1872 N.C.S. 1 portion of the .Boys and Girls Club parcel(portion of APN 008-294-14) and rezone said 2 portion to R-1-5,000 rather than to RC (Residential Compact), as previously proposed; and 3 4 Section 6. The Ordinance to rezone to R-1-5000 failed to gain final approval at the 5 September 3, 1991 meeting, and pursuant to Section 47 of the City Charter, the Council 6 moved to reconsider the Council action to rezone to R-1-5000 and to amend the General 7 Plan land use to "Urban Standard" at the September 16, 1991 meeting; and 8 9 Section 7. During the September 16, 1991 meeting additional public testimony was heard 10 and the City Council directed staff to prepare the appropriate draft legislation for a 11 Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment and Rezoning Ordinance to permit an 12 RC zoning as originally proposed, for adoption and introduction at the October 7, 1991 13 City Council meeting; and 14 15 Section 8. Pursuant to the provisions of Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S., as amended, the City 16 Council finds the following: 17 18 Findin s: 19 20 1. The proposed Rezoning is in general conformity with the General Plan policies of 21 encouraging infill development and will be consistent with the proposed "Urban 22 Diversified" land use designation. 23 24 2. Because the site is adjacent to sites already developed with duplexes, and already 25 zoned Residential Compact (R-C), the proposed change will result in a logical 26 continuation of the higher density residential area. 27 28 3. The proposed zoning will allow more flexibility in development design of the vacant 29 portion of the site and the concerns of the neighborhood regarding site design and 30 the nature of future development of the site can be further addressed through Site 31 Plan and Architectural Review Committee (SPARC) and/or Planning Commission 32 review. 4. Public necessity, convenience, and general welfare clearly permit the adoption of the proposed amendment because restrictions of the current zoning district make development of the odd shaped site impractical and without the change the land would remain useless to the community. 5. Although use of both Boys and Girls Club facilities is expected to increase as the population of the community grows, the development of an alternate Boys and Girls Club site at Lucchesi Park is expected to reduce existing noise, traffic and parking problems in the neighborhood, and transfer some of the expected increase in demand for these services to the Lucchesi site which is better designed to deal with impacts from larger gatherings. Ord. 1872 N.C.S. 2 1 Section 9. The City Council further finds that the requirements of California 2 Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, Section 15083, have been satisfied and hereby 3 incorporates by reference the Negative Declaration prepared and approved by Resolution 4 No. 91-258 for the project site. 5 6 Section 10. Pursuant to the provisions of Zoning Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S., as amended, 7 and based upon the evidence it has received and in accordance with the findings made, the 8 City Council hereby adopts amendment to said Zoning Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S. so as to 9 reclassify and rezone said property herein before referred to; and 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 Section 11. The City Clerk is hereby directed to post this Ordinance for the period and manner required by the City Charter. IF ANY SECTION, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase or word of this ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council of the City of Petaluma hereby declares that it would have passed and adopted this ordinance and each and all of the provisions thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more of said provisions be declared unconstitutional.
