2. BACKGROUND:
•
On April 16, 2001, the PCDC adopted,the Report to Council, a.public document
designed to provide background.information to the PCDC and taxing entities
• affected by-the proposed Amendrnentto the Redevelopment Project.
,The purpose of the'Repoi t was to:
• Set forth.the-reasons Tor the selection of the projectarea;
• Show blight and urbanization evidence;
• Explain programs and activities the Agency intends to implement to
• eliminate..blight;
. • Propose financing mechanisms for such-programs!and;activities; and
• Provide'adescription of how the projects will eliminate blight.
Also on,April 16,•2001;the PCDC adopted the Final EIR.; A"Draft Environmental .
Impact Report had been prepared and was circulated on January 12, 2001 after
which there was a 45-day comment period for the public to provide comments. •
The Planning Commission -reviewed and commented upon the Draft EIR , the
Preliminary Report to Council and the Draft Amended and Restated
•Redevelopment Plan:for the CBD Project Area at their,meeting of February 27,
2001. ;. ••
• 'Pursuant to Section 33346 of The Community Redevelopment Law;.the,Planning •
'Commission found that the!proposed Second Amendment"to the Redevelopment
Plan for the Central Business,District Redevelopment Project conforms to the
General Plan of the City of Petaluma:
Additionally, pursuant to Section,65402 of the Goveinment.Code, with respect to
public activities which may be undertaken within the area added by the Second
Amendment and•the original Project Area pursuant to'the Redevelopment Plan, as
amended by-the Second Amendment, the Commission determined such-activities
and undertakings conform to the General Plan of the City of Petaluma and
forwarded the DEW to the City Council of Petaluma, including Commission
comments, and authorized the preparation •of a Final ER at the end of the
comment;period. •
In summary, the proposed Plant Amendment will extend various time and
financial limits of the Existing CBD RedevelopmenntPlan; as well as add territory
(Added Area)','to•.the CBD Project Area(Existing, Area). The proposed Added
Area consists,of approximately 127 acres 6f commercial, industrial and residential
land uses located to the west and'east of the Existing,Area: Figure I-2 in the
attached Report shows the location of the Amended'Area (the combination of the
Existing Area and Added Area).-
r
i
The Redevelopment Plan Amendment will provide the Agency withs needed 0.
additional legal and financial -resources to alleviate blighting, ,conditions,
itn P lament the Central .Petaluma Specific Plan, and promote- economic
development in the Eiistingr Area, The Amendment is proposed to-enhance,the
Agency's ability to eliminate'blight in-the:Amended Area'in .a more effective
manner than is.possible under,ItheRedevelopment Plan in,place.at this:time: .
.

3.„ALTERNATIvES: .
1
'While it would delay the possible expansion of'the project area and th"e?extension
of the time limit for debt:collection;in the Existing:Area by ab out, x
si :months,;the;
City"Council could. expand the ;project area boundaries 'to include additional, ,
property beyond what is already contemplated and approved, for -study., .
Otherwise, the;CBD Project Area(the Existing Area) consists of .
approximately 98 acres'and encompasses the majority of the:historic downtown '
.
core of thelCity from.D. Street'to Washington Sheet and from,Lakeville.,StreeVto
Liberty and 5"' Streets: The proposed Plan,Amendment would-add approximately
127,acres'to'the Existing^,Area,;creating a225-acre-Amended-Area. ,
. As ,shown in'Figure 1-2 ;in the attached Report;to Council, the'proposed,Added
Area is located in two areas, to the west and east of the Existing.: Area The
western portion of theEAdded-Area isrgenerally bounded by Union Street, Western •
Avenue, Howard Street, and L'
'ilierty Street. The eastern portion of the Added
Arearis generally bounded by D ;Street, M cNear;Avenue, the Northwest Pacific
Railroad, iand and Petaluma Boulevard (the western portion does not include the
•
McNear.Peiiinsula or McNear'Channel).
4. rFuvANGAL IMPACTS:-._ , . .
'1 According to,the chart below the Added Area of the.CBD Project.Area Will have
.I .a property tax 'base assessed value of approximately $49 million." All of the
affecte t
d axing entities will continue to'reCeive their share of property taxes from
i the base-assessed value in both:thelExisting',andAdded Area:: Assuming a 1%
property tax rate, the entities will continue to receive about $188,000; from the .
existing'area and about,$488',000'from the,Added Area.
Chapter IV of thelattached Preliminary,R'eporrde"scribes.the:proposed methods for .
financing the proposed Redevelopment. Program projects and 'activities in the
Amended ;Project Area if the Plan Amendment is adopted. Chapter, IV• also .
• demonstrates the financial feasibili t}' of the Amended Redevelopment Program by
comparing available funding sources for then Amended Project .Area. with
-projected Redevelopment:Program costs: ..

•
The CRL imposes specific time and fiscal limits'on particular Agency activities
for new Plan pr for;the territory added to an existing plan., These time limits
affect the amount of tax increment revenue an agency'can receive. Under the
. proposed Plan Amendment, the timeand fiscal limitsof the proposed Added Area
would be the same as the lunits-of anew plan.
•
5. CONCLUSION: '
• hi 1998, the.PCDC.approved and adopted the Petaluma Redevelopment Strategy
which recommended adding the portions of the Central Petaluma Specific Plan
(Specific Plan) that arenot currently in either the City's Central Business District
(CBD) or Petaluma Community Development (PCD) Redevelopment Project •
• Areas. In. FY 2000-01, Seifel Consulting was hired to prepare a CBD Plan
Amendment to, expand the,CBD Project Area On April 16, 2001, the PCDC

- expansion and set a date for"a public hearing. All required notices-have been
mailed, filed and posted.

Subject ,Central Petaluma Specific Plan,Specifically Eminent Domain,and'the ROSE property
at the corner of Di Street and Petaluma Boulevard South.
In January 2001, I attended the city council meeting regarding adopting the Central Petaluma
- Specific Plan and the use df.emineiivdomain. It was disturbing to.hear-,some council members talking so
casually about taking a persons property."to;complete a project'
My Grandfather and Grandmother emigrated from Sweden, arriving in Petaluma about 1909
and eventually became ch ickeri ranchers on Magnolia. Avenue. At some point my.Grandparents
purchased the parcel known-as 115 Petaluma Boulevard South andlater.in 1946 building-on that site, the
building that exists today. This building was,erected to house a Rec'Truck Sales and Service Agency that
would be run by my parents and their partners the Schindlers. Eventually my parents bought out the
Schindlers and changed,from trucks to cars. They',operated on this site until they retired in 1979. Over
the years my mother managed the office and'.nn father managed everything g'else. My'father would arrive
at-least an hour before everyone'else to accept commuters cars scheduled for repair-and to sweep the floors
and clean the restrooms Gradually Met the:32w.years'.that they worked onrthis'site, they accumulated the
remaining four parcels'-to complete the,entire'block.
Upon their retirement my parents leased the dealership to -operations known as Petaluma'
Chrysler Plvtnoutlt;Durelli Chrysler,Plymouth and latly Autoworld. Finally with Au toworld,inoving out
to the auto mall we decrded,to explore a higher and better:use for'our propem.,My expertise has been in
computers but:for.the last year or so I have put aside my aspirapons.to!tend to the matter of my fathers
well being and that of the family property..As my father apprwaches his 90th birthday, he faces the
', prospect that the City'of-Petaluma might snatch his dreams of a comfortable income for himself and his

Lastly, I would like to speak to the issue of thy tenants. They,feel completely displaced and
bombarded by rumors.and feelings of uncertainty. They feel'forced from the core`of,the downtown with
` ven few>options for relocation around the,penmeter of the city They feel that She Croy of Petaluma.has
abandoned them At least until",we all have°to'dnve to Santa Rosa or Novato to have our cars worked on.

Dear Mr. Thompsori-
I.have attended twoo-meetings of property owners and concerned citizens regarding the
above topics. At or after each meeting Irespectfullyrequestedcopies of the questions
and answer that were written down.the first time by Bonnie Gaebler and;the!second time
by a young woman with long hair who's name I did not get. I have yet to receive a copy
of these questions. Thefirst set was said to`be enclosed with;the:agenda for the second
meeting and Mr:'Marangella publicly assured us that the second set would be mailed to
those persons,attending the two public meetings.
I hereby respectfully request that:those documents be sent tome before,the public
meeting#3. 'Since we were told that the meetings were to obtain;feedback for the
Council and the Agency, I would hope that these comments and questions were provided
to the'Council.
i I hereby protest the,addition of the'power of eminent domain to the'authority of the
•Redeveloptnent.Area anywhere in the city of Petaluma,or'any other city as
unconstitutional,;unnecessary, and not in the best interests ofthe citizens of the

Questions:&Answers
The following is a summary of the questions and answers that were discussed at the meeting.
Whilethis portion of the summary is riot a.detailed accountofahe discussion, it nonetheless
provides the reader with a.good,sense of The content of the discussion.
•
Question;#1: Does the CommunityDevelopment Commission have the"power to superimpose
its will upon the property owners in the project area or do: they.:have to put the proposed
expansion to a majorityvote?
Answer: The City Council/PCDC is elected to represent the interests,of the entire community
and its therefore empowered by redevelopment law to have the..final;say in all matters involving •
the amendment of project area plans.,
Question #2: How was thearea tote added determined?
Answer: The expansion roughly includes,the area covered by;°the Central Petaluma Specific
Plan, which is not currently in eitherrof:the City's existing redevelopment,areas. This was done
in order to use redevelopment funds to implement the specific plan as part of an objective to
eliminate blighting influences in the expanded area The Council/PCDC was also interested in
creating gateways to the City at the following locations:
• Petaluma Blvd. South • E. Washington/Bodega
.• Additionally, the time limit fonissuing debt in the current plan will expire in 2001 after which time
the Agency will be unable to incur debt for new projects and programs- in the district. By
amending the redevelopment area,-the Agency:extends:its ability to incur debt to 2011. In the
added area of the district, debt can be incurred through 2021,: This will provide the additional
resources necessary to,implementthe Central Petaluma-Specific Plan.
Question,#3: Whattaboutthe remainder of Central:Pettaluma Specific Plan area that is not part
of the proposed CBD Project Area expansion? Why wasn''t it included in the CBD expanded
area?
Answer: The remainder'of the Central Petaluma Specific Plan area is located within the City's
other redevelopment area„the Petaluma Community,Development Project Area.
Question;#4: If-the CBD+Project Area:is expanded,.whatis the impact of the;loss;of revenue on
.services provided by the County and other taxing a gencies currently receiving a portion of
property taxes.from the area? •
• Answer: Most services within.the;proposed expanded area are currently provided by the City
' of Petaluma The way redevelopment works is that those agencies currently receiving a share
• of property taxes from the;expanded area keep that share is frozen at the current level.
As 'property values in the expanded area. increase, (either through new development
rehabilitations; resale or by the 2% annual inflation •factor provided under Proposition 13),
approximately 70% of thSiitreasedi incremental taxes are allocated to the CBD Project Area
Theiremaining'30%d of the increase in°property taxes is allocated to the other taxing agencies as
• follows:
•59% Schools •18/o County of Sonoma •13%-City of Petaluma ••5% Community College

redevelopment plan, the total assessed value of property within the 'project area is
established (called the frozen base). For the duration of the redevelopment plan, up to
05 years, most of the property tax reyenues generated from increase's in the.asse'ssed
- value- above the frozen base, called tax increment revenue, will be allocated to the
City of Petaluma, California -
