RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH MAKING
FINDINGS PURSUANT TO PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE SECTION 21081 AND
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT ("CEQA") GUIDELINES
SECTION 15091 IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE MENDOCINO
BREWING COMPANY SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 95-19 SUBMITTED BY
THE MENDOCINO BREWING COMPANY
WHEREAS:
1. The City of Ukiah, as Lead Agency, has prepared an Environmental Impact Report ("EIR"),
consisting of a Draft Environmental Impact Report, dated March, 1995 ("DEIR"), and a Final
Environmental Impact Report, dated July, 1995 ("FEIR"), for the buildout of the Airport Business Park
and proposed Mendocino Brewing Company Site Development Project; and
2. The EIR has identified significant environmental impacts of the projects; and
3. The City Council has discussed the EIR, its conclusions and findings, and the
recommended mitigation measures; and
4. The City Council has certified the EIR; and
5. The City Council may choose to approve the Mendocino Brewing Company Site
Development Permit project; and
6. Public Resources Code Section 21081 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 provide that
the City shall not approve or cam/out a project for which an EIR has been completed which identifies
one or more significant environmental impacts, unless it makes specified findings;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Ukiah finds as follows:
1. The EIR was prepared and made available for public review and comment in full
compliance with the procedures set forth in CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines.
2. The EIR was considered by both the Planning Commission and City Council at
noticed public hearings on August 9, 1995 and August 16, 1995, respectively, which were conducted
in full compliance with all legal requirements.
3. The City Council has considered all documents submitted for consideration prior to
or during the hearings it conducted and all testimony presented during the hearings as well as the
EIR, the Staff Report, dated August 4, 1995, the recommendation of the Planning Commission, and
the Staff Report, dated August 11, 1995. The Staff Reports are incorporated herein by reference.
It has also independently reviewed and considered this resolution.
4. The project is described in the EIR, including the Airport Business Park DEIR at
pages 7, 8 and 9. This description is incorporated herein by reference. As a result of this project,
the Mendocino Brewing Company will be entitled to construct a 57,357 square foot beer brewing,
bottling and packaging facility and associated improvements on an 8 acre parcel within the Airport
Business Park.
5. The EIR evaluated the impacts of the project itself as well as its impacts in
combination with impacts from past, present, and probable future projects, including impacts from
the eventual buildout and completion of the Airport Industrial Park both as presently approved and
with possible future amendments to the Planned Development Ordinance. Those impacts, both
individual and cumulative, along with recommended mitigation measures and suggested conditions
of approval, are summarized in this resolution.
6. Measures designed to avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental
effects of the Mendocino Brewing Company (MBC) project identified in the EIR are set forth in the
Conditions of Approval for the MBC Site Development Permit Application No. 95-19.
7. Geology. The EIR geotechnical consultants determined that there were no significant
geotechnical constraints on the site. Site soils may be subject to expansion and/or some settlement.
It will be necessary to upgrade soils or construct proper foundations to ensure the future buildings
are not damaged by settlement. All necessary fill materials and activities must be properly
engineered to ensure the long-term integrity of future improvements.
Site grading and trenching will result in bared soils. The surface soils and poorly
consolidated terrace soils will be prone to erosion. This is a potentially significant impact since
eroded soils can adversely affect water quality and the aquatic habitat.
Geology Mitigations: The EIR recommends that The Mendocino Brewing Company
project be required to have a complete geotechnical investigation, and the applicants secure a
General Construction Activity Permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Geology Finding: The mitigation measures are reasonable and feasible, and the City
finds that their implementation will avoid or reduce to acceptable levels the geological impacts
resulting from the project. These measures will become conditions of project approval and will be
monitored dudng the grading and building permit process as well as during the construction phases
of the project.
8. Hydrology and Drainage. Much of the project site is below the 100-year flood
elevation. It will be necessary to import fill or build with elevated foundations in order to elevate
buildings above the flood elevation. The required filling can be accomplished without affecting soil
stability or drainage; in itself, the necessity for filling or building on elevated foundations is not a
significant impact.
Surface water runoff from the proposed project, like all commercial and industrial
development, will generate minor concentrations of a number of pollutants, including oil, grease,
nutrients from fertilizers, and heavy metals from roadway pavements.
Because buildings must be constructed so that their floors are at least one foot above the
100-year flood elevation, it will be necessary to fill lower portions of the property; the Redwood
Business Park already has a City-approved drainage plan that includes filling of areas below flood
elevations. Filling has already occurred in the northern portion of the site. After fill is placed on Iow-
lying portions of the property, flooding will be restricted to drainages ditches and infrastructure.
Hydrology/Drainage Mitigations: The project will not result in significant drainage
related impacts. However, mitigations measures are recommended to resolve the minor drainage
issues discussed above. These measures include, requiring all buildings to be elevated above the
100-year flood elevation; requiring developers to prepare Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans
and obtain General Construction Activity Permits from the Regional Water Quality Control Board; and
to share in the funding and construction of ditch stabilization measures on the ditch east of the 36-
inch culvert and on the ditch east of the twin 4-foot by 6-foot box culverts east of the freeway.
Hydrology/Drainage Findings: The mitigation measures are reasonable and
feasible, except for sharing in the funding and construction of ditch stabilization measures on the
ditch east of the 36-inch culvert and on the ditch east of the twin 4-foot by 6-foot box culverts east
of the freeway. The City finds that implementation of the remaining mitigation measures as
conditions of project approval will avoid or reduce to acceptable levels the Hydrology/drainage
impacts resulting from the construction of the project. These measures will become conditions of
project approval and will be monitored during the grading and building permit process as well as
during the construction phases of the project.
The City finds that the recommended mitigation measures concerning ditch
stabilization measures on privately-owned property agricultural property east of the freeway and
outside the City Limits are not the responsibility of the applicants and are not feasible, since the
applicant has no reasonable ability to enter upon private land to put improvements in place.
10. Biotic Environment: Development of the MBC building and associated
improvements could cause the removal of a number of native trees on the property. While the
project proposes to retain the large white oak trees, measures must be required to ensure their
viability during and after construction activities.
The MBC site does contain small tributaries which drain to identified wetlands. Development
of the MBC building, as proposed, will not require any alterations to these tributaries.
Biotic Mitigations: Recommended mitigation measures include the following:
a.
For any project involving filling, clearing, excavation, construction, or other site
development work, adequate protection of oak trees that are to be retained on the
site shall be provided. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, a tree protection
plan shall be submitted to the City. All work shall be done under the daily supervision
of an arborist. The tree protection plan shall include all measures to maintain tree
health as deemed necessary by an arborist. Measures include, at
b.
Co
a minimum, the following: fencing off the ddpline, minimizing fill, paving compacting,
etc. of soil within the ddpline, no stodng of petrochemicals or construction equipment
within the dripline, and no irrigation under oak trees.
For every Oak tree over 12 inches in diameter that must be removed, the applicant
shall be responsible for planting three (3) 15-gallon trees of the same species.
These trees shall be planted under the supervision of an arborist who shall
recommend a watering/fertilization regimen. The trees shall be planted prior to final
inspection and the grant of occupancy.
All viable oak trees over 12-inches in diameter shall be preserved.
d. New landscaping shall focus on native trees and plants.
e. No filling of the pond/riparian area shall be permitted.
Pdor to filling any potential wetlands, the applicants shall secure any required permits
from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and/or any other federal or state agency with
permit authority.
g. For every 1-acre of wetlands filled, 2-acres shall be constructed.
Biotic Environment Findings: All the mitigations measures are reasonable and
feasible, and the City finds their implementation as conditions of project approval will avoid or reduce
to acceptable levels the Biotic Environment impacts resulting from the construction and operation
of the project. These measures will become conditions of project approval and will be monitored
during the grading and building permit process as well as during the construction phases of the
project.
11. Air Quality: The impact of a proposed action is judged to be significant based upon
a criteria for significance. The legal criteria used for determining whether or not the indirect
emissions generated by automobiles attracted to the AlP at buildout are the State and Federal
Ambient air quality standards. The air quality specialist who prepared an impact assessment for the
EIR concluded that State and Federal air quality standards would not be exceeded as a result of
construction or operation of the project.
Air Quality Mitigations: Although no significant air quality impacts would result from
buildout of the AlP, a number of mitigation measures are recommended to avoid temporary dust and
particulate impacts during grading, and to decrease vehicle emissions associated with the project.
These measures include the following:
a.
All exposed or disturbed soil shall be regularly watered to avoid the transportation of
dust.
b.
Every attempt shall be made to keep all construction areas swept and clear of mud
and debris.
C.
Pdor to final inspection and the grant of occupancy, the applicants shall develop and
implement ventilation standards, if required by the Mendocino County Air Quality
Management District, for the malting, cooking, and drying portions of the facility so
as to dilute odors so that they are not objectionable beyond the boundaries of the
site.
d.
Bicycle parking facilities shall be installed at the project site prior to final inspection
and the grant of occupancy.
e.
The applicants shall participate in a Transportation Management Association when
it is formed.
Air Quality Findings: For the reason stated above, as well as the technical
information contained in the EIR, the project will not have a significant adverse effect on any State
or Federal air quality standard, and is, therefore, presumed under CEQA Guideline 15064(i) to have
no significant adverse impact on air quality.
However, the City Council finds that the project will contribute to the cumulative
formative of ozone and shod-term particulate matter in the Ukiah Valley. While the City Council finds
further that this cumulative contribution or both ozone and particulate matter is speculative and
cannot feasibly be quantified with any degree of accuracy, measures should be taken to limit and
reduce the amount of these air pollutants resulting from the projects. Therefore, the City Council
finds that the recommended mitigation measures designed to avoid or lessen dust and particulate
matter, as well as vehicle emissions are reasonable and feasible. These measures will become
conditions of project approval and will be monitored during the grading and building permit process
as well as during the construction phases of the project.
12. Visual Quality: Development of the MBC project will replace open space views near
the southern entrance of Ukiah with views of a "California Mission" style industrial building. The site
is not a scenic backdrop, designated open space, nor an especially valuable scenic resource.
Indeed, the immediate visual context wherein the brewery will be placed is an open field and lumber
storage yard. As such, the change in views is not deemed significant. However, a number of
mitigation measures are recommended to soften the change from vacant land to a developed parcel.
Visual Quality Mitigations: Recommended mitigation measures include the
following:
a. All riparian areas on the site shall be retained and/or enhanced.
b.
Pdor to the issuance of a building permit, a landscaping plan for the project shall be
submitted, that will include, but not be limited to plantings along the west side
of the site to screen views from the Norgard Lane neighborhood and South State
Street.
Prior to the issuance of a building permit, a lighting plan shall be submitted to the City
Planning Department for review and approval to ensure no conflicts with the City
Airport.
d.
Exterior lighting associated with the project shall include shielded, non-glare types
of lights. Sign lighting shall be kept to an absolute minimum.
Visual Quality Findings: Impacts to viewsheds and visual quality are highly
subjective and difficult to quantify. While no health risks are involved, significant adverse impacts
to visual quality can erode the local quality of life. The City Council finds that the Mendocino Brewing
Company project could have impacts on the visual quality of the project site. The City Council finds
further that the suggested mitigation measures contained in the EIR are reasonable and feasible,
and will adequately soften potential visual impacts to an acceptable level. The adopted mitigation
measures will become conditions of project approval and will be monitored during the building permit
process as well as during the construction phases of the project.
13. Noise: A noise analysis was conducted to assess specific impacts on the residential
neighborhood to the south. The MBC project in and of itself will not produce significant amounts of
noise that will impact surrounding land uses.
Noise Mitigations: Even though the project would not produce significantly adverse
amounts of noise, the following mitigation measures are recommended to limit or reduce shod-term
noise impacts:
ao
Construction activities shall be limited to 7:00 am to 5:00 pm on weekdays and 8:00
am to 5:00 pm on Saturdays.
b. Construction equipment shall be properly muffled and maintained.
Noise Findings: The City finds that all the mitigation measures are reasonable and
feasible, and that their implementation will avoid or reduce noise impacts to an acceptable levels.
The adopted mitigation measures will become conditions of project approval and will be monitored
during the building permit process as well as during the construction phases of the project.
14. Public Services: Development of the MBC project will not in and of itself have
significant adverse impacts on public services. Water is available to serve the project, and there is
sewer capacity to handle the initial 40,000 to 55,000 gallons of wastewater per day. The MBC plans
to incorporate major water recycling programs, including the broad application of landscaping
irrigation with treated wastewater. While the EIR indicates that project could potentially have an
impact on City police and fire services, it concludes that the City must determine if this potential
impact would be significant. With the payment of adopted developer mitigation fees to the Ukiah
Unified School District, it will not impact local school facilities.
Public Service Mitigations: Even though the project will not have significant adverse
impacts on public services, the following mitigation measures are intended to avoid or eliminate
impacts of the proposal:
ao
All development shall be constructed according to the requirements of the City Fire
Department, including, but not limited to the design and installation of a fire sprinkler
system.
b.
Co
d.
e.
go
The detailed construction plans submitted for a building permit shall include water
conservation devices on toilets, urinals, and faucets.
The Mendocino Brewing Company shall pay the required sewer/water connection
fees at the time of application for service.
Sewage collectors for the project shall be sized and constructed according to the
requirements of the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District.
All discharged wastewater other than typical domestic wastewater shall meet the
pretreatment requirements set forth by the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District.
The design of any on-site wastewater storage facility, such as a lagoon/pond, shall
meet all Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements for either irrigation
and/or discharge to the Russian River.
Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the Mendocino Brewing Company shall pay
the required Ukiah School District fees applicable to industrial development.
Prior to final inspection and the grant of occupancy, the Mendocino Brewing
Company shall prepare and submit a recycling plan/statement to the City Planning
Department for review and approval.
Scrap metal produced during construction shall be recycled.
Public Service Findings: The City finds that all the mitigation measures are
reasonable and feasible. The City Council finds further that a development impact fee program for
police and fire services is not necessary because the anticipated sales and property tax generated
from new development within the AlP will substantially assist in the long-term funding of new
equipment and personnel. The City Council finds further that the remaining mitigation measures
imposed as conditions of project approvals, will avoid or reduce to acceptable levels impacts on City
Police and Fire Services. The adopted mitigation measures will become conditions of project
approval and will be monitored dudng the building permit process as well as during the construction
phases of the project.
15. Land Use: The site consists of an open field used marginally as pasture land for
horses. According to the Final EIR, the underlying soils on the property are characteristic of those
used for agricultural purposes. The City has in the past determined that industrial use of the site was
more valuable than potential agricultural uses. The project is consistent with the General Plan land
use designation for the site, as amplified by the AlP PD Ordinance, and this designation was applied
to be consistent with other Plan goals and policies.
The site is due east of the southern end of the Ukiah Municipal Airport. The draft Airport
Master Plan places the site within the Extended Approach/Departure Zone. Development in this
"zone" is normally restricted to Iow intensity office structures, Iow intensity retail uses, single family
homes on existing lots, Iow intensity manufacturing, and food processing. Generally, the population
density for uses should be limited to a maximum of 60 people per acre. The proposed
industrial manufacturing project is consistent with all these guidelines, including population density.
The MBC project is proposed on 8 acres, and would normally have 40 employees on the site.
Land Use Mitigations: No mitigations required.
Land Use Findings: Based on the analysis and information contained in the EIR,
the City Council finds that the projects will not have significant adverse impacts on land use.
16. Traffic and Circulation: The MBC industrial building will generate a total of 400 daily
two-way tdps with about 11 inbound and 41 outbound vehicle trips during the PM peak traffic hour.
The majority of traffic will involve trucks rather than automobiles. The traffic would initially enter and
exit the site using Airport Road. After Airport Park Boulevard is extended to the site in the future,
some of the traffic would be expected to utilize this road as primary ingress to and egress from the
site. Because of the limited number of daily and PM peak hour trips, it is not anticipated that the
project will cause the LOS of any intersection to deteriorate to unacceptable levels.
However, the project will contribute to the cumulative degradation of the levels of service of
nearby intersections. While the project will not directly cause the LOS of any intersection to drop to
an unacceptable level, it will contribute to the following cumulative impacts:
Operation of the signalized South State Street/Talmage Road intersection would
deteriorate from LOS C/D to LOS D during the peak hour.
.
The signalized Talmage Road/Airport Park Boulevard intersection would deteriorate
from LOS A to an Unacceptable LOS E during the PM peak hour.
.
Both the Talmage Road unsignalized intersections with State Route 101 off-ramps
would have tuning movements operating unacceptably at LOS D.
,
The South State Street/Hastings Avenue-Washington Avenue signalized intersection
operation would deteriorate from LOS B to an unacceptable LOS E.
.
The Airport Park Boulevard/Commerce Drive unsignalized intersection would have
stop sign controlled tuning and through movements from Commerce Drive operating
unacceptably at LOS F.
The 400 daily two-way trips represents approximately 1.7 percent of the total daily vehicle
tdps within the Airport Industrial Park. Accordingly, the applicants shall be responsible to contribute
1.7 percent of the costs associated with improvements to the key intersections and roadways
impacted by their project.
Traffic and Circulation Mitigations: While the project will not have a direct
significant adverse impact upon traffic and circulation, it will contribute to the cumulative impacts
associated with buildout of the AlP. Accordingly, the following mitigation measures is recommended:
a.
"Prior to issuance of any permit ("Building Permit") for any portion of the Project
under the Uniform Building, Plumbing, Electrical or Mechanical Codes as adopted in
the City, applicants shall enter a written agreement with the City that requires them
to pay their proportionate share of the cost of constructing the road and intersection
improvements required as mitigation measures in the EIR for the buildout of the
Airport Industrial Park. The amount of the contribution shall be determined by a
Resolution or Resolutions adopted by the City Council pursuant to Ukiah City Code
section 9543 ("the resolutions"). Notwithstanding the provisions of said section, the
Mendocino Brewing Company or its successors, shall pay the fee or fees imposed
upon it pursuant to this condition not later than sixty (60) days following adoption of
each said resolution, unless the resolution is adopted before a building permit is
issued to the Mendocino Brewing Company for the construction of the project. In that
event the Mendocino Brewing Company must pay the fee at the time the building
permit is issued. In lieu of a cash payment to the fund for off-site capital
improvements created by the resolutions, the Mendocino Brewing Company may
agree to deposit the funds upon demand by the City and provide security for that
agreement satisfactory to the City, including a letter of credit, certificate of deposit or
bond."
Traffic and Circulation Findings: The City finds that the mitigation measure is
reasonable and feasible, and that when implemented as a condition of project approval will
adequately avoid or reduce cumulative traffic impacts associated with the Mendocino Brewing
Company project.
17. Project Alternatives: After thoroughly considering project alternatives, including the
no-project alternative, and for the reasons stated in the staff report, dated August 4, 1995, The City
Council finds that none of the alternatives are feasible or will have fewer or less severe adverse
environmental impacts than the proposed project(s) site. Moreover, the City can more effectively
mitigate the potential adverse impacts at the proposed site than any other locations.
18. The project is consistent with the goals and policies of the City General Plan, and
conforms to all use and development standards established in the Airport Industrial Park Planned
Development Ordinance.
19. The project proposes to cover approximately 20 percent of the property, where the
EIR assumes approximately 30 percent coverage, which represents a less intense and impacting
project than analyzed in the environmental document.
20. The project will not result in significant adverse impacts to the visual quality of the
area because the structures have been sensitively designed by limiting the height of the majority of
the building to 35 feet, breaking up the bulk and mass with architectural features, and by proposing
an aggressive landscaping program. Additionally, the site has been designated and zoned for
industrial development for many years, and the development of a large structure has been
anticipated and expected.
21. The project will not produce traffic that will cause significant adverse impacts to the
levels of service of existing intersections, because the approximate 3,362 daily two-way vehicle trips
would not drop the LOS below acceptable levels (LOS C).
22. Adoption of recommended conditions 2, 3, and 4 will avoid or reduce to acceptable
levels the geologic impacts of the project, because the soils on the site will be adequately prepared
to support improvements; foundations and retaining walls will be engineered in accordance with soil
conditions and structure type; earthquake construction standards will be met; and soil erosion and
sedimentation will be properly minimized.
23. Adoption of recommended conditions 9 and 10 will avoid or reduce to acceptable
levels the noise impacts of the project, because construction activities will be limited to normal and
routine construction hours, and equipment will be properly muffled.
24. Adoption of recommended condition 11 will avoid or reduce to acceptable levels the
potential impact on the operation of the City Fire Departments, because the building and site
improvements will meet the requirements of the Fire Department, including a sprinkler system, fire
hydrant placement, and building access and construction.
25. Adoption of recommended conditions 12, 13, and 14 will avoid or reduce the levels
of potential impacts to the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District (UVSD), because water conservation
devices will be required, all hook-up fees will be collected, and all improvements will be designed
and constructed according to UVSD requirements.
26. Adoption of recommended condition 15 will avoid or reduce the level of potential
impact on local schools, because the Ukiah Municipal School District will receive adopted and
required development impact fees.
27. Adoption of recommended condition No. 37 will assist in the long-term mitigation of
cumulative traffic impacts, and will off-set the impact resulting from the contribution of traffic
generated by the Mendocino Brewing Company project.
28. All the recommended conditions are feasible and required. The City finds that the
conditions will reduce potential impacts to less-then-significant levels.
29. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the proposed addition will not be
detrimental to the health, safety, comfort or general welfare of persons residing or working within the
neighborhood, or be detrimental to property or improvements around the site, or be harmful to the
general welfare of the City, because it has been sensitively designed, will not produce hazardous
or toxic substances, and all potential impacts have been mitigated with conditions of approval.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: The following conditions of project approval shall be made a
permanent part of the project, shall remain in full force regardless of property ownership, and shall
be implemented in order for the Use Permit to remain valid. (The term "mitigation" is placed at the
end of those conditions which reflect mitigation measures contained in the EIR).
