Coming Soon: A More Wonderful Putnam Park

Petalumas Scott Ranch property is known for its open meadows and iconic red barns. The land is right next to Sonoma Countys Helen Putnam Regional Park. Thanks to extensive community input and approval from the Petaluma City Council, we will be able to purchase 47 acres of the 58- acre Scott Ranch for parkland.

What’s Next for Scott Ranch?

Before Kelly Creek Protection Project can finalize the purchase of most of Scott Ranch from Davidon Homes, we need to complete a few required permitting and regulatory requirements. Examples of the work that is currently underway include:

  • Securing Landmark Designation for the red barn complex. This process includes public hearings with the City of Petaluma’s Historic and Cultural Preservation Committee and Planning Commission. These groups will make a recommendation to the City Council about this proposed designation, likely before the end of 2023.
  • Pursuing approval from the City of Petaluma for a new Parcel Map, which will separate the park extension parcel from the parcel for the residential development.
  • Completing the Site Plan and Architectural Review (SPAR) process for the planned residential development, so we can close escrow and complete the purchase of the 47 acres designated for the extension of Putnam Park.
