APPROVAL OF A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE
MARTIN FARM SUBDIVISION
AT 1197 EAST WASHINGTON STREET AND PRIVATE MARTIN CIRCLE;
APN 007-361-022
WHEREAS, an Initial Study of potential environmental impacts was prepared and the
results of the study indicated that the proposed Martin Farm subdivision project, as mitigated,
will not cause any significant adverse environmental impacts; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Petaluma held public hearings on
March 8 and May 10, 2005, on the subject application, heard testimony, and concluded that the
findings and conditions as amended were adequate and recommended to the City Council
approval of the proposed development; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council considered the Martin Farm subdivision proposal on Jurie
20 and July 18, 2005, and considered all written and verbal communications concerning potential
environmental impacts resulting from the project before rendering a decision.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council approves a Mitigated
Negative Declaration subject to the following Findings and Mitigation Measures:
1. An Initial Study was prepared and demonstrated that there is no substantial
evidence that supports a fair argument that the project, as conditioned, would have
a significant effect on the environment. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was
drafted to avoid or reduce to a level of insignificance, potential noise, biological,
transportation/traffic, and historic resource impacts generated by the proposed
project.
2. The project does not have the potential to have a significant adverse impact on
wildlife resources as defined in the State Fish and Game Code, either individually
or cumulatively and is not exempt from Fish and Game filing fees.
3. The project is not located on a site listed on any Hazardous Waste Site List
compiled by the State pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the California Government
Code.
4. The Planning Commission reviewed the Initial Study and considered public
comments before making a recommendation on the project.
5. That a Mitigation Monitoring Program has been prepared to ensure compliance
with the adopted mitigation measures.
