A draft environmental impact report for a proposed luxury hotel in Petaluma has found that the project would have minimal significant impacts. The report addresses concerns about aesthetics, cultural resources, and land use. The proposed six-story hotel which is associated with celebrity Chef Charlie Palmer, has been met with public opposition. Many residents have raised concerns about parking, traffic, and the impact on the city’s historic downtown. The report will be available for public review and comment until October 7th. The city council will then consider the report and make a decision on the project.
