Section 4. Pursuant to the provisions of Zoning Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S., the City

additional traffic generated by the development.

24 contained therein has been reviewed and considered by the Commission prior to
25 project approval.
26
27 2) Based on the information contained in the FEIR, find that significant adverse
28 effects may result from the project. And, further, that in accordance with Section

33

36
Ord. 1856 N.C.S.
Z
a. Land LTse and Open Space: Significant alteration of rural character due to
the replacement of approximately 90 acres of open space and potentially
reproductive agricultural land with urban uses.
b. Population 1-Iousing: Significant increase in the population and housing
growth, including development of approximately 130 new housing units in
addition to incorporation of existing housing units into the City Limits.
c. Transportation: Project related traffic increases would contribute to
cumulative traffic increase and related operational and neighborhood quality
impacts in southwest Petaluma.
d. Visual: Views of rural undeveloped areas and the rural character of South D
Street and Sunnyslope Road would be replaced by suburban type
development.
e. Municipal Service: There would be an increase for all municipal services,
including water, sewer, police and fire protection, schools, community park
facilities, solid waste disposal, and maintenance.
f. Noise: Construction and project related increases in traffic will increase
noise.
g. Air Quality: Project generated traffic would contribute to significant
cumulative local and regional increases in the levels of air pollutants.
4) Overriding public interest warrant the approval of the project, though there are
unavoidable adverse effects. In accordance with Section 15093 of the State of
California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, the reasons for this decision are:
1) That the project will allow for the development of additional housing sites; 2)
The project will improve the project area infrastructure; and 3) The project will
make it possible for residents to receive a higher level of municipal services.
Section 7. Pursuant to the provisions of. Zoning Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S., and based
upon the evidence it has received and in accordance with the findings made, the City
Council hereby adopts an amendment to said Zoning Ordinance No. 1072 N.C.S. so as to
Ord. 1856 N.C.S.
3
