The Feb. 24, 2025 meeting of the City Council will focus on the approval of the Final Environmental Impact Report for the “Downtown Economic Opportunity Overlay” and a first reading of the ordinance to make this overlay part of Petaluma’s zoning code.

This overlay will allow for 6+ story buildings in the heart of Petaluma’s historic downtown. It is a big step for the developer to get around our zoning codes and pave the way for making their monolithic hotel a reality in Petaluma. This is a chance for the community to make their voices heard. Show up and speak out against the up-zoning of our historic downtown to benefit a Newport Beach hotel developer!
