ALTERNATIVES FOIL PROVIDING 1'HE SERVICE Police Chief Dennis DeWitt said that given the emotional stress of having to euthanize sick and/or unwanted animals and stresses resulting from workload demands and a .facility that is operating near its functional capacity and in need of repair and enlargement, there is a fast turnover of staffing of the Animal Control Center. He suggested that the City Council authorizes staff to look at alternative methods for providing animal control services to determine whether there is a better way to accomplish the task or whether to proceed with capital improvements and expansion of the Animal Control facility. Thee Council concurred with his recommendation and authorized him to look- at alternative methods of providing animal control services for the City, oY imprv~e. ~po~ P.eser,t 52rvic~• BURGLAR ALARM FALSE ALARIVIS Police Chief DeWitt advised the Council that there are a number of business establishments that have excessive false alarms resulting in emergency responses of Police ersonnel. During an 8-month period in 1988, the Officers responded (2 to a vehicle to 1,077 alarms. Only 10 of those were legitimate alarms, and the 1,067 false alarms took Officers out of circulation. for a minimum of 711 hours of Officer time. The Chief recommended an amendment to the Alar-m Ordinance setting forth a fee schedule for excessive (over six occurrences), false alarm activity. Events such as power outages and other alarm soundings beyond the control of the contracting party would not be tabulated in the maximum alarm occurrences. The Council consensus was to include the following details in the regulations: - Six false alarms and you're out of the Police Burglar Alarm response picture - The six separate alarm soundings are to be counted on a rolling 365 day basis - A minimum administration fee of $30 per alarm contract per commercial establishment be established - Residential alarm systems are excluded from these regulations Staff will prepare the necessary documents to implement amendments to the Burglar Alarm regulations within 60 days.

City Engineer Hargis said, "S.ome of the projects we have projected to cost out as to a.future:.build-year; where we have. built some kind of inflation factor in," and; "some of the. projects are kind of. a nebulous ,nature; when we'talk about 7 million and'-10 million dollar. project, where we .don't even have any rough idea of the plan,, those are kind of grab numbers based upon what. data we could get.

Council meeting. James Parthuin, 322::Baranof Drive,, said 1VIr. .

That represents 3 projects, Fairway Meadows, Country Club Estates Unit III,. and Park Place V. Principal Planner Michael Moore noted there are 698 building allotments available for allocation and he added there is no obligation on the part of the City to reallocate forfeited allotments. Mr. Moore reviewed the allotment status and requests in fine detail. . 491 Anticipated Commitments for 1990 - Muirwood (now known as Adobe Creek) Development Agreement guarantees them 100 allotments per year under certain conditions.. They lost 46 allotments in 1988 when they asked for and were granted only 54 allotments. With the 46 for 1988 plus 100 for 1989, they are eligible. for 146 allotments. - Corona-Ely area has been committed 300 allotments based on an agreement, in principle, developed with the Council subcommittee and the developers under the condition that an assessment. district be formed for construction of Sonoma Mountain Parkway. This will be formalized through individual development agreements. - Projects on less than fve acres represent 45 allotments annually, pursuant to Council direction. Under Five Acres - It was suggested the system be amended so that at the end of each year, the '. number of units built in the "Under Five Acres" category would be subtracted from the estimated number of units in that category. The resulting difference 'between those numbers ;(representing .unused allotments) would then be added to the next `year's,.number of iinitsk available for allocation to development in general: Staff noted that in 1988, 35~ units of the "Under Five Acres" category represent final building permits. ' _ 1Vlajor Subdivisions - Another suggestion was to amend the Growth Management System so that if an allotment is not used, it is not lost forever. (211 allotments were forfeited in 1988; however, they 'are added to the allotment pool for the succeeding year). Page 40, Vol. 25 April 17;:1'989 - It was no ed the allocation for the Corona Ely area will be :approximately '300 units per.year for approximately 5 years. - It was suggested .the Building Industry'should be aware that if developers come in and. grab the allotments without -some- pzetty good assurance they are ,goingg to meet the dates,. a certain anourit of. them will`disappear. Developers need. to `be aware that tieing up allotments and not meeting. the target dates causes a~.loss of potential. building. - Sarto Rocheleau, ,101..; Vallejo - ,Bodega Vista .,South. Subdivision - 17 units -noted his requirements include street .construction, and the type of phasing of the subdivision will impact his ability'to do the required public improvements. - Leonard.Jay --'Country Club Estates II.I - 7~3 unrts -said their request 'is based on a General Plan designation of 21ots per. acre over the. entire project. The financing, infrastructure .and all .off=site improvements. are based on that degree of development.. He said that thirty five reservations.for, 199U would provide sufficient .cash flow for them. to proceed with the public, improvements: The Council noted that approval of allotments did' not assure a ,build-out averaging 2units per acre, because there is.notspecific development detail at this time. - Jon Joslyn, Young America -Park ;Place V - G2 units - (This phase of. Park Place. is proposed: for the vacant site bounded by :Rainier, Acadia. and Maria.. 'The $4 allotments received. in :1989 for single fariuly .detached at 5.5 dwelling units' per acre, were forfeited at tfie end oflast year. Their 1990 allotment application is based on asingle-family attached project of 10 units per acre. The :neighborhood. has requested the Council reduce the density to match the existing residences. In addition, a proposed General- Plan :amendment that could :affect ,this site was discussed in November; 1988', but no conclusion'was reached untl'th'e Park Place V development. was decided. to be 10 units -peracre or 5.5units per,.acre. He requested either the 142 townhouse all'otments'thatthcy are presently on.record for or the 84~ allotments .for the single family. density. In conneetron~wth a single family designation, he requested that the expired allotments from last year be reissued for that project. In the event that they do not receive -last:.y""ear's allotments reissued, they would like to request 95 for. this year and the balance for. next year on a new single family project. - Chuck McKee,. Duffel Company -came to the microphone to clarify the 146 :Adobe Creek allocations and 25 units for Fairway Mead®ws. They anticipate-rrequiring no more tha n atotal of 124 allotments for Adobe -Creek (1Vluirwood) .in .1989 and request that, of the remaining 76 allotments due to Adobe Creek this ye"ar, 50 go to the_Fairway Meadows'Subdvision. It was moved ~by Larry T.encer, and seconded by Lynn. Woolsey, °1n~e came up with the allotment number of 500 based on service capacity~~~and -past• histgry.~ We also said that in those years where we had.. a greater request for; allotments than. we had ;available. allotments;. we would have Development Objectives.. This would be something that we tried once before, and. it worked with somewhat-limited success a number of:years ago. " h. ,fir ,i C6.. Apri117, 1989 Vol. 25, Page 41 It seems to me that if you grant everything that has been requested, which far exceeds the 500 units or even the 698 units, that development objectives mean very little. Also, most of the applicants, the seven proposals cited; are developrrient objectives I -think "three or four of there had at least met one criterion by accident more than design. They happen to be on the west side of Petaluma. I would propose that, just so .you have something to look at, we take Option Number Two which has a total of 783 units;. and you take out Park Place V and Fairway Meadows; that reduces it down to 671 units: Y,ou grant all requests for Westside development, and you grant on the .Eastside reservations that had been made before and the,two projects, one of them has a development agreement the other has had tentative discussions with the Council that being the Corona Ely. Throw that out for the first- round. This is about 25 or 261ess than staff's second ,cut, maybe a different way of allotting them. Larry moved' Balshaw seconded'to adopt, allotments for the next year of 671 units, excluding Fairway Meadows and Park Place V, but including Adobe Creek, Corona Ely area - 300, Meadow Park - 19, Westridge - 71, Bodega Vista South - 17, and Country Club III - 73. Jon Joslyn asked for an opportunity for discussion for being totally eliminated. Vice Mayor Davis said he thought we had discussion, it's a question of just taking roll at this point.
