Housing Element The City of Petaluma is located 40 miles north of San Francisco in southern Sonoma County. Bisected by the Petaluma River and under the beautiful backdrop of the Sonoma Mountains, the city remains a unique, geographically defined community with a distinctive character, derived from its geography and physical diversity. Petaluma has a history of maintaining a “small town” atmosphere, even as its population and economic base have become increasingly urban. A burgeoning telecommunications industry has evolved in the last decade, attracted to Petaluma’s abundant resources, business climate, and quality of life. This change in the economic culture of the City has had significant impacts, particularly in the choice, cost and availability of housing.
The City's 1999-2009 Housing Element is the foundation of our affordable housing production and program implementation.
