The rezoning 17 action includes the PEP Housing Precise Development Plan and PD zoning regulations (“Project”) and will 18 allow development of 42 affordable senior housing units a community center and other site 19 improvements five parcels. 20 21 SECTION THREE 22 The Planned Development rezoning includes the PEP Housing precise development plans, 23 attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the PEP Housing PD zoning regulations, attached hereto as Exhibit B, 24 which are the development plans for the Project. 25 26 SECTION FOUR 27 Planning Department staff prepared an initial environmental study (IS) in order to evaluate the 28 potential impacts that could result from the Project. The IS identified potential impacts to Aesthetics, Air 29 Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Hydrology & Water Quality, and Noise. As part of the IS, 30 mitigation measures were identified that would reduce the impacts to less than significant levels; 31 therefore, a mitigated negative declaration (MND) was prepared for the Project. The Project proponent 32 has agreed to the mitigation measures included in the IS and MND. 33 34 SECTION FIVE 35 The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on May 27, 2015 after giving notice 36 of said hearing in the manner, for the period, and in the form required by the Ukiah City Code and 37 Government Code sections 65090 and 65091 to consider the Mitigated Negative for the PEP Housing 38 Planned Development Rezoning with precise development plan and PD zoning regulations. At the 39 meeting, the Planning Commission received public comment, discussed the initial environmental study, 40 requested additional information be included in the hydrology and water quality section of the IS. On 41 May 27, 2015 the Planning Commission voted 3-0 to recommend the City Council adopt the mitigated 42 negative declaration for the PEP Housing Planned Development Rezoning and Precise Development Plan 43 with Planned Development Zoning Regulations. 44 45 SECTION SIX 46 At the May 27, 2015 public hearing, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider the 47 PEP Housing Planned Development Rezoning and Precise Development Plan with Planned Development 48 Zoning Regulations. After receiving public testimony, considering the staff report, and due deliberation, 49 the Planning Commission voted 3-0 to recommend the City Council approve the PEP Housing Planned 50 Development Rezoning and Precise Development Plan with Planned Development zoning regulations. 51 52 1 SECTION SEVEN 2 The PEP Housing Rezoning and Precise Development Plan are hereby approved and subject to 3 the conditions of approval contained in the attached Exhibit C. 4 5 SECTION EIGHT 6 The precise development plan for the PEP Housing Planned Development, as required by Ukiah 7 Municipal Code section 9167(E), is approved. 8 9 SECTION NINE 10 The PD zoning regulations for the PEP Housing Planned Development, attached hereto 11 as Exhibits A and B, required by Ukiah Municipal Code section 9167(D)(3) and 9167(E)(1) supersede the 12 R3 zoning regulations and are hereby approved. 13 14 SECTION TEN 15 Based on the analysis and conclusions contained in the Initial Environmental Study, the City 16 Council concluded that the proposed Project would not have a significant effect on the environment and 17 adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration. 18 19 SECTION ELEVEN 20 21 The approval of the proposed Project is based on the following findings: 22 23 1. The Project, as conditioned, is consistent with the General Plan as described in the General Plan 24 attachment of the staff report. 25 26 2. The Project, as conditioned, is consistent with the findings required for adoption of an ordinance 27 establishing a Planned Development Combining Zone prescribed in Ukiah City Code section 9168(C) 28 based on the following: 29 30 A. General Plan: The Project includes a General Plan amendment to facilitate the project. It is 31 consistent with the goals and policies of the General plan as described in the General Plan 32 consistency section of the staff report. 33 34 B. Purpose and Intent of the Planned Development Combing Zone District: The proposed 35 Project would increase the supply of housing in Ukiah by constructing forty-two (42) senior 36 affordable units. The Project is required to construct frontage improvements, including curb, 37 gutter, sidewalk, and a walking trial connecting Main Street to the rail trail which provide an 38 amenity to the neighborhood. The Project through the precise development plan and PD 39 zoning regulations includes the preservation and protection of healthy native trees. The in-fill 40 project utilizes the site efficiently by constructing new 42 new senior affordable units, a 41 community center and site amenities on 1.5 acre site. 42 43 C. Complements and Compatible with Existing and Potential Development: The Project would 44 develop forty-two (42) senior affordable units on the 1.5 acre site. The surrounding 45 neighborhood is comprised of the area bounded by Main State Street to the west, North Coast 46 Rail Road tracks to the east, the Grace Hudson Museum to the north, and Cleveland Avenue to 47 the south. The Project is located within a developed urban area and surrounded by 48 commercial, public, single and multi-family uses. 49 1 The proposed PD Regulations identify the uses and development standards for the parcels included in 2 the PD. The PD regulations are based on the uses and development standards of the R3 zoning district 3 and modified to address the specific parcels and use (affordable multi-family). The density, and use 4 are compatible with and complementary to other development in the area. The Project was reviewed 5 by the Design Review Board who found the Project compatible with and complementary to other 6 development in the area and appropriate for the individual parcels on which the project would be 7 constructed. 8 9 3. The PEP Housing Precise Development Plan, as conditioned, is consistent with the criteria for 10 evaluating the consistency of precise development plans with the purpose and intent of the Planned 11 Development combining district identified in zoning ordinance section 9167(F) as described below: 12 13 A. Circulation Needs and Impacts: The traffic technical memorandum prepared by LACO engineers 14 indicated that the number of trips potentially generated if the subject parcels were to be 15 developed consistent with current land use and zoning designations. Based on the current 16 allowed uses of the parcels (Ukiah City Code (Ord. 539 3 adopted 1961) and the ITE Land Use 17 categories assumed to best represent these uses were calculated that build out of the subject 18 parcels could be expected to generate 19 AM peak-hour trips and 15 PM peak-hour trips, or 2 to 3 19 more peak-hour trips than estimated Project-generated peak-hour trips. It was concluded that the 20 development of the PEP Sun House, and associated General Plan amendment and zone 21 classification, will not result in significant increase in traffic volumes, particularly when compared 22 to traffic volumes that could be generated by development of the subject parcels under the 23 current land use zoning designations. 24 25 B. Parking and Traffic Needs and Impacts: Based on the mixture of one and two bedroom units, 49 26 parking spaces would typically be required. However, 32 spaces or .75 spaces per unit are 27 proposed. The proposed parking is summarized in Table 5. Section 9198 (A) (7) allows for the 28 reduction in the number of parking spaces projects providing special needs housing, including 29 senior housing as follows: “In any district, the planning director may approve a reduction in 30 parking requirements not exceeding thirty percent (30%) for housing projects with at least four 31 (4) living units reserved for seniors, disabled persons, emergency shelters, transitional housing, 32 single room occupancies, or other special needs housing with reduced parking demand based on 33 factors such as age of occupants, disabilities, household size, or other factors that support a 34 finding of reduced parking demand” 35 36 C. Utilities and Public Services Needs and Impacts: City services are available to serve the Project. 37 The City has enacted mandatory water conservation measures and the residents of the Project 38 would be required to comply with any water conservation measures in place. The Project 39 includes drought tolerant landscaping and water conserving irrigation. The Project has been 40 reviewed by Public Works Department, Electric Utility, Fire Marshal, and Building Official and 41 there are adequate services and utilities to serve the Project. 42 43 D. Noise Needs and Impacts: The proposed Project would be similar in use, intensity, and density to 44 the surrounding neighborhood. The City’s noise ordinance would apply to this Project both 45 during construction and after occupancy. Mitigation measures and conditions of approval have 46 been applied to the Project to address construction related noise impacts. 47 48 E. Odor Needs and Impacts: The Project is a residential Planned Development; typically odors are 49 not associated with residential uses. 50 51 F. Private and Common Space Needs and Impacts: The project is providing on-site recreational 52 amenities including: a 1,600 sq. ft. recreation center, and community garden, open space and 53 walking trails. These amenities will provide residents recreational opportunities. The impact to 1 parks would be less than significant. 2 3 G. Trash Collection Needs and Impacts: The precise development plan identifies a location for the 4 trash/recycling enclosures. The onsite manager will responsible for disposal of the project’s 5 trash and recycling. 6 7 H. Security and Crime Deterrence Needs and Impacts: The project’s design provides built in crime 8 deterrence features including: exterior lighting, “eyes on” facing windows, security doors and 9 on-site manager. Development of the site as proposed could reduce the incidents of loitering in 10 the area since there would be fewer locations for loitering and more “eyes on the street.” The 11 Project was reviewed by the Police Department and no concerns related to security and crimes 12 were identified. 13 14 I. Energy Consumption Needs and Impacts: The Project is subject to the requirements of the 15 California Green Building Code Standards which includes specific requirements (materials and 16 light fixtures) to reduce energy consumption. Further, the project proposes the installation of a 17 22kW of photovoltaic system to offset energy use of the common areas of the project. 18 19 J. Design Needs and Impacts: The design of the project is based in part on the historic Sun House 20 and Grace Hudson Museum. The design incorporates similar design features such as: roof 21 pitches, materials, and colors. 22 As required by City Code the Project was reviewed by the Design Review Board (DRB) on both: 23 January 8, 2015 and March 3rd 2015. DRB provided the applicant design comments that were 24 into the Project. Furthermore, some of the DRB recommendations will be included as conditions 25 of approval. Therefore the project would not degrade the existing visual character or quality of 26 site and its surroundings and the project would infill a vacant lot and the proposed density would 27 be consistent with existing development in the area. 28 29 K. Relationship to Physical Features: The in-fill project site is surrounded by existing residential 30 development and commercial uses. The project site is not known to contain any species 31 identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or 32 regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 33 and therefore the Project would have no impact on candidate, sensitive, or special status species. 34 There are no riparian areas or riparian habitat on the in-fill subject parcels or other sensitive 35 natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the 36 California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service. Therefore, the Project 37 would have no impact on these resources. 38 The infill site is partially paved and contains no wetlands, marshes, vernal pools, or other water 39 courses on the parcels included in the Project. Therefore, the Project would have no impact on 40 these resources. 41 42 No migratory path for wildlife species, no connection with any wildlife habitat, no water courses 43 are located on the parcels included in this Project. 44 45 L. Consistency of Architectural Features: The design of the project is based in part on the historic 46 Sun House and Grace Hudson Museum. The design incorporates similar design features such as: 47 roof pitches, materials, and colors. The Project was reviewed by the DRB who found the design of 48 the Project compatible with the neighborhood and made recommendations to differentiate the 49 house plan on each parcel. Some of the recommendations from the DRB have been incorporated 50 into the design of the individual house plan in order to customize each plan. 51 1 M. Balance and Integration with Neighborhood: The size and height of the project is consistent 2 with other structures in the neighborhood. The Project includes open space similar to 3 neighboring Grace Hudson Museum. The design of the house plan was based in part on the 4 design of historic Grace Hudson Museum. 5 The Project was reviewed by the Design Review Board who found the Project to be consistent 6 and compatible with other residential development in the neighborhood and appropriate for the 7 individual parcels included in the Project. Based on the above, the Project is consistent with this 8 requirement. 9 10 N. Building Design: The size and height of the project is consistent with other structures in the 11 neighborhood. The Project includes open space similar to neighboring Grace Hudson Museum. 12 The design of the house plan was based in part on the design of historic Grace Hudson Museum. 13 14 O. Density: As required by City Code the Project was reviewed by the Design Review Board (DRB) 15 on both: January 8, 2015 and March 3rd 2015. DRB provided the applicant design comments that 16 were into the Project. Furthermore, some of the DRB recommendations will be included as 17 conditions of approval. Therefore the project would not degrade the existing visual character or 18 quality of site and its surroundings and the project would infill a vacant lot and the proposed 19 density would be consistent with existing development in the area. The project is achieves 28 20 units per acre, the highest allowable density per the City’s Zoning Ordinance. 21 22 3.Planning Department staff prepared an Initial Environmental Study (IS) in order to evaluate the 23 potential impacts that could result from construction and implementation of the PEP Housing Planned 24 Development Rezoning, Precise Development Plan and PD Zoning Regulations. The IS identified potential 25 impacts to Aesthetics, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Hydrology & Water Quality, 26 and Noise. As part of the IS, mitigation measures were identified that would reduce the impacts to less 27 than significant levels. A Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program has been prepared for the Project and 28 the project proponent has agreed to the mitigation measures. 29 30 4. Notice of the Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and notice of the Rezoning and 31 Precise Development Plan was provided in the following manner: 32 33  posted at the County Clerk on April 29, 2015; 34  mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the parcels included in the Project on April 29, 35 2015; 36  published in the Ukiah Daily Journal on April 30, 2015; 37  posted on the Project site on April 28, 2015; 38  posted at the Civic Center (glass case) on April 28, 2015; 39  posted on the City’s Web site April 28, 2015. 40 41 5.
