History

This plan limited the number of building permits to 500 annually for a five year period beginning in 1972. With its large stock of historic buildings, Petaluma has been used as the filming location for numerous movies set in the 1940s, '50s, and '60s (see list of movies below). Because of the region's soaring population in the sixties, the city enacted the “Petaluma Plan” in 1971. Petaluma pioneered the time-controlled approach to development. The stated objectives of Petaluma's time controlled growth management were to ensure orderly growth; to protect the city's small town character and surrounding green space; to provide a variety of housing choices; and to maintain adequate water supply and sewage treatment facilities.
