4.050 Dedication Required and Exceptions.

Petaluma Municipal Code · 2026-09 edition · updated 2026-09-27 · Petaluma

A. Dedication Required. The developer shall dedicate any necessary right-of-way to the city to the alignment

established by plan lines established in Chapter 13.20 of the Petaluma Municipal Code, or to an alignment

consistent with applicable city right-of-way standards across the entire frontage or frontages and shall construct

public improvements (including but not limited to curbs, gutters, sidewalk, half street, water mains, storm drains

and sanitary sewers) across such frontage to current city standards, whenever a development project is located, or

which is proposed to be located:

 1.  Upon one or more streets or roads where future right-of-way plan lines have been established pursuant

 to Chapter 13.20 of the Petaluma Municipal Code; or

 2.  Upon one or more streets or roads which are not improved with existing curbs, gutters, sidewalks and

other contiguous street improvements across the frontage or frontages of the property upon which said

development project is located; or

 3.  Upon a parcel of real property which has frontage on a dedicated street right-of-way where no such

improvements have been constructed contiguous to the parcel upon which the development project is

 located. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the city from requiring construction of frontage

improvements pursuant to any other ordinance or regulation of the city.

B. Exceptions. Subsection (A) of this section shall not apply when any one or more of the following conditions

exist:

The Petaluma Implementing Zoning Ordinance is current through Ordinance 2907, passed September 8, 2025.

Ch. 4 Zone Districts and Allowable Land Uses | Petaluma Implementing Zoning Ordinance Page 5 of 38

 1.  Where a condition of any subdivision or parcel map requires dedication and construction or public

improvements as a condition of approval of the same development project.

 2.  Where the value of the construction is less than $10,000. This valuation may be raised by resolution of

the city council to compensate for inRation and increased building costs.

 3.  Where the proposed development project is clearly accessory, as determined by standards in the Zoning

Ordinance, to an existing use upon the property.

 4.  Where the development project consists primarily of the rehabilitation of an existing structure, when no

change of use will occur.

 5.  Where the developer establishes that the required dedication would render the real property upon

which the development project is to be constructed substantially valueless for any private use, but Qnal

determination of such fact shall be made only by the city council upon petition of the developer or owner.
