• EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In August 1998, Seifel Associates presented the Petaluma Community Development
Commission with a document entitled Petaluma Redevelopment Strategies. In the report, several
important strategies for the Redevelopment Agency were recommended. In 1999, the Agency
engaged Seifel Associates to implement one of the strategies and initiate a process to determine
the feasibility of amending the Central Business District (CBD) Project Area Redevelopment
Plan by expanding the Project Area boundaries and extending its life.
On January 16, 2001 the Petaluma Community Development Commission approved the
Preliminary Report for the Central Business District Redevelopment:Plan Amendment; received
the Draft Environment.-Impact'Report;.received the Draft.Amended and Restated Redevelopment
Plan for the Central Business.District Project; and authorized the distribution of same to affected
taxing entities. Subsequently; as required by State law, Redevelopment staff and consultants
conferred with the effected taxing entities concerning the proposed amendment.
On February 27, 2001,,the Planning Commission of the City of Petaluma held a noticed a public
hearing for the purpose of Determining the Adequacy of the Draft EIR; Considering Comments
on the Draft EIR; Identifying Any Revisions Desired in the Final EIR; and Authorizing the
Preparation of a Final EIR/Response to Comments. The Planning Commission also reviewed
and commented upon the Preliminary Report to Council and the Draft Amended and Restated
Redevelopment Plan for the CBD Project Area The Planning Commission adopted a resolution
recommending the approval and adoption of the Second Amendment to the CBD Project Area
Plan with several amendments.
On April 16, 2001, the PCDC and City Council held a joint meeting that resulted in the
following significant actions for each agency: PCDC: Adopted Report to Council and •
Submitted Report, the Proposed Amendment and the Final EIR to City Council; Approved
Restatement of Owner Participation & Business Re-entry Rules; and Found the Provision of Low

On May 21, 2001 the City'Council/PCDC.held.a public hearing in order to receive written and
oral testimony regarding„the proposed Amendment. After all testimony was received the joint
hearing was closed and the PCDC adopted Owner Participation and Business. Re-Entry
Preference Rules for the CBD Redevelopment Plan and a;resolution certifying the adequacy of
the FEIR. The City Council also gave direction that an ordinance be prepared that includes a
provision that the PCDC may delegate its eminent domain power to the City Council. The
PCDC directed that a resolution be prepared in order for the PCDC to delegate. its power of
eminent-domain to the City Council.
The next stage of the Plan..Amendment process is for the City Council to adopt findings in
response to written.cominents that were in opposition to the Plan Amendment. In addition the
City Council will introduce an ordinance approving and adopting the Second Amendmentto the
Redevelopment Plan for the Central Business District Redevelopment Projeet. With regard to the •
PCDC, it.will consider a_resolution delegating its power of.eminent domain to the City Council.
•
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
Amendment,to°the Redevelopment Project.
The purpose of the Report was to:
• Set forth-the reasons or the selection of the project area;
• 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 a description 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 CBD Project Area attheir 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 Government 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,:PTan,, 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 DEIR 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 Plan Ainendinent will extend various time and financial limits of the
Existing CBD Redevelopment Plan, as well as add territory (Added Area) to the CBD Project
Area (Existing Area). The proposed .Added Area' .consists of approximately 127 acres of
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).
The Redevelopment Plan Amendment will provide the Agency with needed additional legal and
financial resources to alleviate blighting conditions, implement the Central Petaluma Specific
Plan, and promote economic development in the Existing•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 the Redevelopment Plan in place at this time.
• On May 21, 2001 the City Council certified the Final E112. and,directed legal counsel to include a
provision in the Redevelopment Plan allowing the PCDC to.`delegate its power of eminent
domain to the City Council. Legal counsel also noted that any taking of property would require a
2/3 vote of the City Council.
3. ALTERNATIVES:
While it would delay the possible'expansion of the project area and the extension of the time
limit for debt collection in the Existing Area by about six 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 the City
from D Street to Washington Street and from Lakeville Street to Liberty and 5`h Streets. The
proposed Plan Amendment would add approximately 127 acres to the Existing Area, creating a
225-acre Amended Area.
As shown in Figure I-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 the Added Area is
generally bounded by Union Street, Western Avenue, Howard Street, and Liberty Street. The
eastern portion of the Added Area is generally bounded by D Street, McNear Avenue, the
Northwest Pacific Railroad,;aiid,Petaluma Boulevard (the western portion does not include the
• McNear Peninsula or McNearChannel).
4. FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
•
According.to the chart below, the Added Area of the CBD Project Area will have a property tax •
base assessed value of approximately $49 million„ All of the affected taxing entities will
continue:to receive,their share of property taxes from the base assessed value in both the Existing
and Added Area. Assuming a 1% property tax rate, the entities will continue to-receive about
$188,000 from theexisting area and about $488,000 from the Added Area.
Chapter IV of the attached Preliminary Report describes 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 feasibility of the
Amended Redevelopment Program by comparing available funding sources for the Amended
Project Area with.projected Redevelopment Program costs.

The CRL imposes specific time and fiscal limits on particular Agency activities for a new Plan or
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 time and fiscal limits
of the proposed Added Area would be the same.asthe limits oft new plan.
5. CONCLUSION:
In 1998, the PCDC approved and adopted the Petaluma Redevelopment Strategy which
recommended adding the portions of the Central Petaluma Specific Plan(Specific Plan) that are
not 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 approved a Report to Council which.established the feasibility of such an expansion and
set a date for a public hearing. All required notices have been mailed, filed and posted. On •,
May 21, 2001, the City Council certified the Final. EIR and the PCDC adopted owner
participation rules.

ATTACHMENT I
PETALUMA CITY COUNCIL
FINDINGS IN RESPONSE TO WRITTEN OBJECTIONS
The Petaluma City.;Council adopts the following findings in response to
written objections submitted to the Petaluma Community Development
Commission ("PCDC") up to, the close of the Joint Public. Hearing held on May
21, 2001 . These findings are based on the entire administrative record of
proceedings before the Council regarding the proposed Amended and Restated
Redevelopment Plan ("Redevelopment Plan") for the •Central Business District
Redevelopment Project
The City of Petaluma received seven separate written objections to the
Redevelopment Plan, some of which were signed by more than one person and
two of which were signed by the same person. Five of the comment letters
raised objections to provisions of the. Redevelopment• Plan granting the PCDC
limited power of eminent domain with respect to non-residential property in the
Central Business District.Project Area("Project Area"). One letter objected to the
expansion of the Project Area,on the grounds that such expansion would divert
tax increment from other uses. One letter raised, concerns about the funding
priorities identified in the Redevelopment Plan. An email communication to the
• City • asked whether, in the course of• its deliberations on the proposed
Redevelopment Plan, the Planning Commission had discussed the failure of
AT&T to provide cable{serviceTto the downtown area.
•
I. EMINENT DOMAIN
A. Objection •
Five comments were received that objected to the grant of eminent
domain authority to the .PCDC and/or the use of eminent domain for
redevelopment purposes in the .Project Area. These comments were received
from the following persons:
1. JoAnh Ritko Pozzi.(received.2/9/01)
2. Art and Helen .Hagopian (received 2/12/01)
3. Peter Rose(received 2/21/01)
4. Charles Gervasoni and Margaret Gambonini (received 4/27/01)
5. Donald A. Smith and Jean W. Smith (received 5/21/01)
B. Response
The proposed Redevelopment Plan would grant the PCDC eminent
• domain authority only with respect to non-residential property in the Project Area.
Furthermore, the Redevelopment Plan notes that the PCDC has delegated the
City Council Findings •
6/4/01
1of5
ATTACHMENT I
•
exercise of its eminent domain authority to the Council. By limiting the use of
eminent domain to non-residential property, the Redevelopment Plan ensures
that PCDC activities will not.displace Project Area residents from their homes. In
taking note of the PCDC delegation' of its eminent domain authority to the
Council, the Redevelopment Plan ensures that the Council may be held
democratically accountable for the use of eminent domain in the Project Area.
Although no specific property is currently identified for the possible Use of
eminent domain and although the Redevelopment Plan provides that eminent
domain will be used only as a last resort, the ability to use eminent domain to
acquire non-residential property will facilitate the assemblage of parcels-and the
use of property to fulfill the goals set forth in the proposed Redevelopment'Plan.
The PCDC has recently adopted Owner Participation and Business. Re-
Entry Preference Rules for the Redevelopment Plan, which provide further
support to property owners who intend to redevelop their own properties.
The power of eminent domain is derived from the Federal Constitution,
California State law and the Redevelopment Plan itself. Federal and State law
provide that any public agency acquiring property by eminent domain must
acquire that property for a public purpose and pay just compensation to the •
property owner: Just compensation is'the fair market value of the property_The •
maximum time period that the Council would be able to exercise eminent-domain
on the PCDC's behalf is 12 years from the amendment of the Redevelopment
Plan. The Redevelopment Plan specifies further terms and conditions under
which the PCDC would be able to utilize eminent domain.
State law provides additional protections for property owners and tenants.
Prior to the Council exercising the PCDC's power of eminent domain to acquire
non-residential property, the PCDC would be required to make,every reasonable
effort to reach a negotiated settlement. with property owner(s) based on the
appraised fair market value of the property. In addition, a resolution of necessity
must be adopted by 5 out of 7 Council members indicating why the use of
eminent domain is necessary in order to further the goals of the 'Plan. If a
property were to be acquired through eminent domain, the PCDC would have to
provide relocation benefits to owners and/or tenants, in addition to the payment
to the owner of just compensation for the property'itself, based on its fair market
value. The property owner could also be entitled to certain Federal and State`tax
benefits if property is acquired under threat ofeminent domain.
FINDING: Based on the above discussion, the City Council hereby finds
that the granting to the PCDC of eminent domain authority for the
acquisition of non-residential property is necessary for the success of
redevelopment'in the Project Area

ATTACHMENT I
II. USE OF TAX INCREMENT IN EXPANDED PROJECT AREA
A. Objection,
In a letter to the Mayor dated February 5, 2001., JoAnn Ritko Pozzi
objected to the expansion of the Project Area "because of the diversion of funds
from the current funding breakdown to other projects."
B. Response
•
The primary source of financing for the Redevelopment Program has
been, and will continue to be, tax increment revenue generated by the increase
in property values within the redevelopment area. The general purpose of
redevelopment is the elimination of blighting conditions: The completion of a
redevelopment program results'in a project•area that is physically enhanced and
economically stronger due to the elimination of blighting conditions. •
The Redevelopment Program, described in Chapter III Of the Report to
Council, dated April 2001, is specifically,designed to stimulate private investment
and alleviate physical and economic blighting-conditions in the Amended Project
Area.
• In many communities, redevelopment projects have led to the stabilization
of property tax rolls;and tax receipts for taxing entities within project areas. As a
result, these communities have avoided declines in tax revenues due to
worsening conditions and erosion of property values. In most redevelopment
project areas, the investment of public redevelopment funds to leverage private
investment has resulted in substantial increases in,property values over time due
to rehabilitation, new construction and property appreciation. Thus, the
expenditure of tax increment dollars for redevelopment activities in the Central
Business District is not necessarily a drain on the tax revenues that would
otherwise go to other taxing entities, but rather an investment that will ultimately
result in enhanced property values, higher than would have resulted without
redevelopment, and consequently enhanced revenues for all taxing entities.
FINDING: Based on the above discussion, the City Council hereby finds
1) that the purposes of using tax increment for redevelopment activities in
an expanded Project Area include the alleviation of physical and economic
blighting conditions and The stimulation of private investment and
economic growth that would not, otherwise occur, and 2) that such
investment and`growth will result in greater tax revenues overall.

ATTACHMENT I
III. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN BUDGETARY"PRIORITIES'
•
A. Objection
In a separate letter to the Mayor dated May 21, 2001,. Ms. Pozzi objected,
• to certain funding priorities identified in the.Five-Year Implementation Plan for the
.Project (2001-2006). Specifically, Ms. Pozzi objected to use of redevelopment
funds for Petaluma Visitor's Bureau activities. Ms. Pozzi stated that in the past,
such activities had been funded through a transient occupancy tax. She stated
that redevelopment funds should be used instead for physical improvements.
Ms. Pozzi further expressed concern about a lack of public parking on B and D
Streets and about "the real cost of the earthquake retrofit."
B._ Response -
Ms. Pozzi's May 21, letter does not appear to raise objections to the proposed'
Redevelopment Plan itself. It is expected that the PCDC will consider the issues
she has raised when setting budgetary priorities. Ms. Pozzi is encouraged to
make further comment at that time At this time the Council notes that funding •
the Petaluma Visitor's Bureau as.a redevelopment project promoting,tourism`and.
business patronage is consistent with the goals,identified in the Redevelopment
Plan of 1) eliminating adverse physical and economic conditions in the Project
Area, 2) providing an environment conducive to social and economicgrowth, 3)
promoting economic vitality in. Petaluma's Central Business District by attracting
new jobs that will employ Petalumans, 4) encouraging new development and
mixed uses, 5) enhancing the downtown, 6) promoting public access and
recreational opportunities along the river, 7) helping to integrate river orientation.
by rehabilitating older shopping centers, and 7) reinforcing the role of the Central
. Business District as a center for transit and non-vehicular modes of travel'..
Encouraging visitors to come to Petaluma and providing ways for them to spend
money while they are here is an important part of the City's redevelopment .
strategy.
With respect to parking in the area of B or D Streets, as development
occurs over time parking may be developed in those areas. In,fact, the PCDC's.
Five-Year Implementation Plan identifies $2,000,000 for the development of
public parking in the Project Area.
With respect to earthquake retrofit for buildings within the Project Area,
$355,000 has been identified in the Five-Year Implementation Plan.
•
City Council Findings - •
6/4/01
4 of 5
ATTACHMENT I
FINDING: Commenter's letter objecting to funding priorities identified in
the Five-Year Implementation Plan for the Project.does not raise objections
to the proposed Redevelopment; Plan. Nonetheless, the Council has
offered a detailed response to her comments, and it is expected that the
PCDC will consider the issues she has raised when setting budgetary
priorities.
IV. AT&T
A. Comment
•
On March 13, the City received an email message from Dianne Reilly
Torres asking whether the Planning Commission had, during its consideration of
the Central Petaluma Specific Plan, discussed the matter of AT&T's failure "to
provide cable service to the downtown area per the AT&T audit which is on the
City Council agenda next week.
B. Response
Ms. Torres has not raised an objection to the Redevelopment Plan.
Nonetheless, the Assistant City Manager has provided clarification as
•
follows:
The•recent audit does not require extension of cable to all
of the central business district at this time. As part of the
transfer agreement from ICI to AT&T, it was agreed that
AT&T would'work with the City to extend service downtown
as the area was redeveloped.: The City long ago required
undergroundiog of transmission lines in the downtown
area. To have the cable company trench new lines
independently of the redevelopment of the area would be
very expensive and would have a negative impact on all
cable users as AT&T would be able to pass along those
costs to all system subscribers:. Additionally, most of the
downtown businesses do not desire cable service.. In fact;
many of the residential and businesses who do desire
television service have selected satellite service even when

findings have been:adopted, in response to each written objection of an affected property

noticed public hearing. .
Section 4. The City Council hereby finds and determines that:
• a. Significant blight remains within the Existing Area and the Added Area
and is blighted in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 33031, and said blight
cannot be eliminated without (i) expanding the Project Area; (ii) limiting the number of
• dollars of taxes that may be divided and allocated to the Commission pursuant to the
Redevelopment Plan, and (iii) limiting the principal amount of bonds representing tax
allocation bonded indebtedness that can be outstanding at any one time and payable in
whole or in part •from tax allocation attributable to the.Project; extending the time in
which eminent domain authority may be exercised on non-residential property in the
Project Area; and, enharicing;,and•augmenting projects and activities to be undertaken by
. the Commission pursuant to the Amendment Plan. •
b. The Amendment will enable the Project• Area to be redeveloped in
conformity with the Community Redevelopment Law and in the interests of the public
peace, health, safety and welfare. This finding is based upon the fact that redevelopment
of the Project Area, as• contemplated by the Redevelopment Plan, as amended by the
Amendment, will implement the objectives of the Community Redevelopment Law by
aiding in the elimination and correction of the conditions of blight and deterioration in the
Project Area; provide for planning, development, redesign, clearance, reconstruction or
rehabilitation of properties which=need improvement; providing additional employment
opportunities, and providirigfor'higher economic utilization of potentially useful land.
c. The adoption and carrying out of the Amendment is economically sound
and feasible. This finding,:is based upon the fact that under the Redevelopment Plan, as
proposed to be amended, the Commission will be authorized to seek and utilize a variety
of potential financing resources, including tax increments; that the nature and timing of
public redevelopment assistance will depend on the amount and availability of such
financing resources, including tax increments generated by new investment in the Project
•
Area; and that under the Redevelopment Plan, as proposed to be amended, no public
redevelopment activity will be undertaken unless the Commission can demonstrate that it
has adequate revenue•to finance the activity.
d. The Amendment conforms to the General Plan of the City.of Petaluma,
including, but not limited to, the community's housing element, which substantially
complies with the requirement. of Article 10.6 (commencing with Section 65580) of
Chapter 3 of Division.l of Title 7 of the Government Code: This finding is based on the
report of the Planning.Commission that the Amendment conforms to the General Plan of
the City of Petaluma.
e. The carrying out of the Amendment will promote the public peace, health,
safety and welfare of the City of Petaluma and will effectuate the.purposes and policies
of the Community ''Redevelopment Law. this finding is based upon the fact that
redevelopment; as contemplated by the Redevelopment Plan, as amended by the
• Amendment, will benefit the Project Area by correcting conditions of blight and by
coordinating' public and private actions to stimulate development and improve the
economic, social and physical conditions of the Project Area.
f The elimination of blight and the redevelopment of the Project Area
• cannot be reasonably expected to be accomplished by private enterprise acting alone
without the aid and assistance of the Commission. This finding is based upon the
r
continued existence of blighting influences, .,including the lack of adequate public
improvements, and the inability of individual.developers to economically remove these
blighting influences without public' assistance to acquire. assemble sites for
development, and the provisions of public improvements, facilities and utilities, the
inability of low- and moderate-income persons to finance;needed improvements, and the
inadequacy of other governmental programs and financing mechanisms to eliminate
blight, including the provision of necessary public improvements and facilities.
g. The time limitation and the limitation on the number of dollars to be
allocated to the Commission that are contained in the Redevelopment Plan, as amended
by the Amendment, are reasonably related to the proposed projects:to be implemented in
the Project Area and to the ability of the Commission to eliminate blight within the
Project Area.
Section 5. Each individual public activity/improvement or private development
action within the Project Area and/or in furtherance of this Redevelopment Plan that will
require a discretionary approval by the Agency or the City will, ata minimum, be subject
to a preliminary California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review to determine if
the activity, improvement, or development action then requires preparation of a negative
declaration, a mitigated negative declaration or a subsequent or supplemental
environmental impact report in accordance with the applicable standards of CEQA and
• the CEQA guidelines.
