family subdivision on the vacant 2.2-acre parcel at 870 Wood Sorrel Drive, Assessor's Parcel No.
137-061-022; and,
WHEREAS,. on August 3, 2009, in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act

City of Petaluma Environmental Guidelines, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2009-1'36
N.C.S., adopting a mifigated negative declaration ofenvironmental effect for the Project; and,
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PETALUMA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. PUD Findings
The City Councif finds as follows in support of the Rezoning to Planned Unit District for The Birches,
a 21-Unit Single-Family Subdivision, at 870 Wood Sorrel Drive (the Project):
A. The proposed Amendment to Zoning Ordinance No. 2300 N.C.S., to amend the Planned
Community District (PCD) zoning district to a Planned Unit District (The Birches PUD) to
Ordinance No. 2343 N:C.S:
develop the site as a 21-unit single-family subdivision is in general conformity with the
Petaluma General Plan 2025. The proposed 21 residences comply with the 2025 General
Plan land use designation of the site as Medium Density Residential (MDR) which allows a
variety of residential types at a density of 8.1 to 18 dwelling units to the net acre. The
proposed density is compatible with that range; as 12.5 dwelling units to the net acre are
proposed. As the subject 2.2-acre parcel is essentially flat, without native/protected
trees,.aecessible from two public streets, and immediately abutting other single-family
subdivisions, development at this density is appropriate.
B. The proposed rezoning to PUD is consistent with the Petaluma Interim Zoning Ordinance in
that it incorporates the policies and guidelines of fhe Planned Unit District Chapter 19 of
the Implementing Zoning Ordinance. The proposed development is planned on a
property which has a suitable relationship to one or more thoroughfares (Wood Sorrel
and Yarberry Drives), and -said thoroughfare with the improvements required, is
adequate to carry the traffic generated by the development. The Project is consistent
with the Zoning Ordinance because it clearly results in a more desirable use of land and
a better physical environment than would be possible under any single zoning district. In
summary, this project is similar to a project that could be developed under the single
zoning district R4. Development under the PUD will Cesult, both now and in the future, in a
project with larger setbacks abutting the existing residents than required by R4 (except at
Lot 4), and therefore development under the PUD appears more compatible with the
existing neighborhood. For the neighborhood, this will result in a better physical
environment than if the. parcel were developed under a standard zoning designation.
Furthermore, the additional project details and the additional regulation about future
modifications represent - fo the City and specifically to the nearest neighbors -cause for
finding that development of this land under the Birches PUD is more desirable than
development under standard R4 zoning.
C. The public necessity, convenience, and general welfare clearly permit and will be
furthered by the proposed PUD zoning in that the amended zoning designation will result
in .single-family housing, a use that is appropriate and compatible with the existing
surrounding uses. The project plans present a unified and organized arrangement of lots
and private streets, appropriate to adjacent and nearby properties. Proposed
landscapingwould further ensure compatibility. The proposed project would also require
review and approval by the Site Plan and Architectural Review Committee.
D. The requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) have been satisfied
through the preparation of an Initial Study and the :drafting of a Mitigated Negative
Declaration to avoid or reduce to a level of insignificance, potential air quality and noise
impacts generated by the proposed project. In compliance with the requirements of the
California Environmental Qudlity Act, an Initial Study was prepared for the PUD rezoning
of the property. Based upon the Initial Study, a determination was made that no
significant environmental impacts would result: A copy of this notice was published in
the Argus-Courier and provided to residents and occupants within 500 feet of the site, in
compliance with CEQA requirements. ,
.Section 2. Severability
If .any provision. of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held
invalid, the remainder of the ordinance, including the application of such part or provision to
other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in full force and
effect. To this end, provisions of this- ordinance are severable. -The City Council hereby declares
Ordinance No. 2343 N.C.S. 2

2 or'phrase hereof irrespective of'the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions,

RESOLUTION OF THE PETALUIVIA CITY COUNCIL
APPROVING TIIE UNIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR
TIIE BIRCHES PLANNED"UNIT DEVELOPMENT, APN;137-061-022
WHEREAS, the .Planning. Commission filed. with the City Council its report .set. forth in its
minutes of March 24 aria May T2, 2009, recommending approval of a Unit Development Plan
and Development Standards for the Birches Planned Unit Development ("the Project"); and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a noticed public hearing on said Unit Development Plan and
Development Standards on July 6 and August 3, 2009; and
WHEREAS, on August 3, 2009, in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), 14 California Code of Regulations Sections 15000 et seq. (CEQA Guidelines) and the
City of Petaluma Environmental Guidelines, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2009-136,
N.C.S., adopfing.amitigated negative declaration of environmental effect:for the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that. the City Council does hereby find:
1. The Plan clearly results in a more desirable use of land and in a better physical
environment than would be possible under any single zoning district.
In summary, this project is similar to a project that,.could be developed under the single,
zoning district R4. Development under the PUD will, result, both now and in the future,
in .a project with larger, setbacks abutting the existing residents than required by R4
(except at Lot 4), and therefore development under the- PUD appears more compatible
with the existing neighborhood. For the neighborhood, this will result in a better physical
environment than if developed under a standard ,zoning designation. Furthermore, the
additional project details and' 'the additional regulation about future modifications
represent - to the City and.specifically to the, nearest neighbors -cause for finding that
development of this land under the Birches PUD is more desirable than development
under standard R4 zoning..
2: The PUD District is proposed on property which. has a suitable relationship to one or
more thoroughfares, and said thoroughfare is adequate to carry any additional traffic
generated by the development.
The Project sits directly on Wood Sorrel and Yarberry Drives and access to the 21 single-
family homes will be via a private street, that connects between these existing public
streets. The traffic impact study prepared -for the proposed project concluded that the
levels of service (LOS) at the three studied intersections of North McDowell
Boulevard/Southpoint Boulevard, Wood Sorrel Drive/Southpoint Boulevard, and Wood
Sorrel Drive/Yarberry Dr7ve-would be unchanged at LOS A or B, in the existing condition,
if project traffic were to be added. The study also. concluded that the three intersections
would be at LOS A or B (Table 5 -Traffic. Analysis) under both the future conditions
scenario and the future plus project conditions scenario. In conclusion, when the subject
5
site is fully ,developed as proposed, the study intersections are expected to operate at the
same .levels of service in both the existing and the projected future condition with or
without the project, and with only an incremental increase in delay due to these added
project trips. The traffic study also evaluated the proposed circulation and determined. that
the sight distances, from each proposed street .connection is equal to or great than the
Caltrans standard of 275 feet.
3. The plan for the proposed development presents a unified and organized arrangement of
buildings and service, facilities which are appropriate in relation to adjacent or nearby
properties and adequate landscaping and/or screening is included if necessary to insure
compatibility.
The rear yard setbacks of the proposed single-family units are similar to adjacent
residential subdivisions which were also developed as, Planned Unit Districts. Care has
been taken (and. conditions adopted) to ensure privacy between the turn-around area and
the nearest property line so that privacy to those backyards is not unduly impacted. Site
Plan and Architectural Review of house and landscaping design will further ensure that
the development arrangement is appropriate to the neighborhood. The PUD
Development Standards will further ensure ~ than the impact of later additions/
modifications is minimized.
4. The natural and scenic qualities of the site are protected, with adequate available public
and private spaces designated on the Unit Development Plan.
The project site lacks any significant natural. or scenic .qualities; it is vacant, flat, and
without native or protected. trees. Some of the off- ite redwood trees are large enough to
be considered protected trees .and extra precautions and bonding is required for these.
Each. residential lot has between .8:76 to 1,502 square feet of usable open space, far more
than would be required by R4.
5. The development of the subject property, in the manner proposed by the applicant, will
not be detrimental to the public welfare, will be in the best interests of the City, and will
be in keeping with the general intent and spirit of the zoning regulations of the City of
Petaluma, with the Petaluma General Plan, and with any applicable plans adopted by the
City.
An Initial Study that evaluated potential. environmental impacts associated with the
project determined that no significant. unmitigated environmental effects would result
from this proposal. The project utilizes land efficiently by promoting infill development,
at equal or higher density and.intensity than: surrounding uses, while preserving the overall
scale and character of the established residential .neighborhoods. On site, narrow streets
with a sidewalk. on each side,have been utilized with the .aim of creating apedestrian-
scaled street environment. Extensive street trees are proposed to improve air quality and
aesthetics. -The project is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan.
NOW, TI~EItEFORE DE IT RES®L.VED that this Resolution shall become effective upon the
effective date of Ordinance No. 2343 N.C.S., Approval of Rezoning to a Planned Unit District
6
(PUD) for The Birches Subdivision, .which is thirty (30) days after the date of the adoption of
said ordinance by the Petaluma City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby
approve, pursuant to the provisions of Zoning Ordinance No. 2300 N.C.S. and based upon the
evidence contained in the record of proceedings and/or received at or before the hearing of this
matter, The Birches Unit Development Plan set .forth in Exhibit A and the Development
Standards for The Birches Planned Unit District set forth in Exhibit B, subject to the conditions
set forth in Resolution No. 2009- , N.C.S., approving the Tentative Subdivision Map.

date.
B. All grading .and excavation shall conform to the geotechnical investigation
reporE prepared for this project by Bauer Associates.. The project's
geotechnical engineer and the City of Petaluma. shall approve the grading
plans.
V. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
A. The architectural desigh objectives for The Birches are to create a
community following the Traditional Neighborhood Design concept. The
most important aspect in the TND concept is a pedestrian friendly
neighborhood. The:architecture achieves this by pairing homes according
to garage location. The garage in one plan inthe pair is forward, while the
garage. of the other' plan is deeply .recessed, thus forming a °two-pack"
concept. The°finro-pack" concep# ensuresthatthe street-scene will not
be dominated by garages. Additionally, all plans include functional front
porches to further promote. a pedestrian .friendly streetscape. These
porches further promote TND by creating a. softer street edge for every
house. Also, all "garage forward" plans will have. architectural elements
pulled in front of the garage for varied articulations and massing.
The architectural ,themes, Craftsman, Bungalow and .Cottage, were
chosen to reflect the context of`the City of Petaluma: Materials and colors
true to each style are used for each elevation. Inthe-Craftsman theme,
shallow .pitched roofs,. long overhangs, exposed rafter tails, tapered wood
columns, enhanced gable-end details, out lookers, .roof brackets, lapped
sidings, stone Veneers, decorative-porch railings and other authentic
details are incorporated to further enrich the characteristics of this style.
The Bungalow theme,, utilized shallow pitched. roofs, extended. fascia
details at gable-end .roofs, enhanced gable-end trusses, detailed out
.lookers, tapered :stone veneer columns with wood posts, tongue and
.groove sidings,.. stone veneers, pot shelf brackets, decorative porch
railings and.various trimsto further enhance the theme. In the Cottage
theme, steeper -roof pitches are used, as well as, wood posts with brick
veneer bases, decorative~porch railings, enhanced gable-end louvered
details, Cottage style shutters,. mixture of lapped sidings and 'shingles,
brick veneers and authentic trims. Trellises are added to some of the
"garage forward" plans to further enhance the elevations. Porte-
Cochereswith gates are included in some deep recessed garage plans to
Promote privacy'and safety for the homeowners. Careful details and
expressive styling will ensure that Thee Birches will be an attractive and a
valuable addition to the Petaluma.
