RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH APPROVING AN
AMENDMENT TO THE UKIAH GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP AND AN
AMENDMENT/MODIFICATION TO GENERAL PLAN FIGURE VI.2-KK: DOWNTOWN
MASTER PLAN AREA MAP — MOUNTANOS GPA / 517 SOUTH MAIN STREET, UKIAH
WHEREAS, the City adopted its current General Plan, including land use maps in
December, 1995; and
WHEREAS, the City adopted Figure V1.2-KK (Downtown Master Plan Area Map) when it
adopted its General Plan in December, 1995; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Mark Mountanos has applied for a General Plan Amendment to change
the land use designation on APN 002-186-02 (334 North Main Street) from Commercial ("C") to
High Density Residential ("HDR") to facilitate a Planned Development housing project (see
Exhibit "A"); and
WHEREAS, the proposed General Plan Amendment includes the replacement of
General Plan Figure VI.2-KK (Downtown Master Plan Area Map) with the Downtown Master
Plan Area map found in the 1992 City Council adopted Downtown Revitalization Master Plan
(Exhibit "B"); and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment is deemed to be in the public interest because it
will facilitate an infill housing project in close proximity to alternative transportation, shopping,
medical services, parks, and other important services as called for in the Ukiah General Plan
Housing Element; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment is consistent and compatible with the other goals
and policies of the General Plan, particularly the housing element, which identifies a strong
need for housing in and near the historic downtown; and
WHEREAS, it appears that Figure V1.2-KK was included in error in the General Plan and
that the Downtown Area Master Plan map found in the City Council adopted 1992 Downtown
Revitalization Master Plan should have been included in the General Plan as Figure VI.2-KK
when it was adopted; and
WHEREAS, the potential impacts of the proposed General Plan amendment have been
assessed and have been determined not to be detrimental to the public health, safety, and
general welfare because it would not create traffic, noise, or other impacts to the neighborhood,
nor would it be out of character in terms of use and design because other high density
residential development are in the area; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment has been processed in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the California Government Code and the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). An Initial Study was prepared and demonstrated that there is no
substantial evidence that supports a fair argument that the project, as mitigated, would have a
significant effect on the environment. The Initial Study and the Notice of Intent to Adopt a
Mitigated Negative Declaration were publicly notices as required. The amendment has been
processed as required by the California Government including the requirement to provide public
notice of the project and public hearing; and
