The downtown overlay and hotel are just the beginning of the changes facing Petaluma. Our city’s 20-year “General Plan” is being written right now and the volunteers working on this plan have big changes in mind for downtown.

This City Council Meeting on Feb. 3, 2025 is important because they will discuss a draft of the “Land Use Framework” of the General Plan. The Land Use discussion includes proposals to up-zone large areas of our city and allow for taller, bulkier buildings.

Come participate, learn about the process and make your voice heard!
