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 ADOPTION OF THE AMENDED
AIRPORT INDUSTRIAL PARK (ALP) PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE
WHEREAS:
1. The City of Ukiah, as Lead Agency, has prepared a Subsequent Environmental Impact
Report ("EIR"), consisting of a Draft Subsequent Environmental Impact Report, dated March, 1995
("DEIR"), and a Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report, dated July, 1995 ("FEIR"), for
the proposed Airport Industrial Park (ALP) Planned Development Ordinance Amendments; and
2. The EIR has identified significant environmental impacts of the projects; and
3. The City Council certified the EIR on August 16, 1995; and
4. The City Council has chosen to adopt an amended Planned Development
Ordinance for the Airport Industrial Park; and
5. Public Resources Code Section 21081 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 provide
that the City shall not approve or carry 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 DEIR on pages 7,8,9,10 and 11
of the Redwood Business Park Component. This description is incorporated herein by reference.
5. The EIR evaluated the impacts of the project, as well as its impact 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. 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 significant effects of future
development projects within the Airport Industrial Park will be imposed on projects as buildout
occurs and the significance thresholds identified in the EIR are reached. In this way, full
mitigation will be achieved as development occurs and is phased over time within the AlP.
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 poody
consolidated terrace soils will be prone to erosion. This is a potentially significant impact since
eroded soils can adversely affect water quality and ultimately the aquatic habitats of the Russian
River.
Geology Mitigations: The EIR recommends that all future individual projects be
required to have complete geotechnical investigations, and that future developers secure General
Construction Activity Permits from the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Geology Finding: Mitigation measures are reasonable, feasible, and effective.
The City finds that implementation of these mitigation measures will avoid or reduce to acceptable
levels the geological impacts resulting from the buildout of the Airport Industrial Park. These
measures will become conditions of project approval and will be monitored by the City
Engineering and Planning Department staff during the grading and building permit process as well
as during the construction phases of all projects within the AlP.
8. Hydrology and Drainage. Buildout of the AlP will increase the amount of
impervious surfaces on the site and, thus, increase the amount of runoff during the 10-year and
100-year storms. Increased flows from the site will have a minor impact on flooding east of the
freeway, and could slightly increase the extent and duration of flooding on the orchard to the east.
This orchard impact, however, would not be caused solely by the site runoff; rather, it would
typically occur only in conjunction with some overbank flooding of the Russian River.
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 drainage ditches and infrastructure.
Hydrology/Drainage Mitigations: Buildout of the AlP under the provisions of the
revised Planned Development Ordinance 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 City finds the mitigation measures
reasonable, feasible, and effective, 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 the recommended mitigation
measures conceming ditch stabilization measures on privately-owned 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.
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 buildout of the Airport Industrial Park. These measures will become conditions of
approval for all future development projects, and will be monitored by the City Engineering
Department staff dudng the grading and building permit process as well as during the construction
phases of the project.
9. Biotic Environment: Buildout of the AlP under the provisions of the revised
Planned Development Ordinance will eliminate open fields used for foraging by a number of birds,
mammals, and reptiles. It will also basically remove all existing vegetation from the site. Given
the fact that the property has been disked and used for agricultural purposes, and that
considerable fill activities have occurred, the EIR concludes that no significant impacts will occur
to biotic environments, except for the possible removal of Valley Oak trees.
In terms of wetlands on the RBP, the property owner has entered into an agreement with
the Department of Fish and Game regarding the disposition of the wetland and small population
of Baker's Meadowfoam that existed on the site. The Department of Fish and Game has
determined that this mitigation successfully off-sets the adverse impacts on vegetation and wildlife
that were identified in the Wal-Mart EIR.
To buildout the property contained within the Airport Business Park (ABP) south of the
RBP, it may be necessary to fill wetlands. To avoid significant loss of wetlands, and potential
impacts to biotic habitats, the EIR suggests a number of mitigation measures.
Biotic Mitigations: Suggested mitigation measures include preserving Oak trees,
and precluding the filling of the pond/riparian area on the Airport Business Park site. Additionally,
permit approval from applicable State and/or Federal agencies would be required prior to filling
and wetland areas on the ABP Site.
Biotic Environment Findings: The City finds that all mitigations measures are
reasonable and feasible. The City finds further that implementation of the mitigation measures
as conditions of project approval will avoid or reduce to acceptable levels the Biotic Environment
impacts resulting from the buildout of the Airport Industrial Park. These measures will become
conditions of approval for all future development projects, and will be monitored by City
Engineering and Planning Department staff during the grading and building permit process as well
as during the construction phases of the projects.
10. Air Quality: The impact of a proposed action is judged to be significant based
upon 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 buildout of the AlP.
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.
bo
Every attempt shall be made to keep all construction areas swept and clear of mud
and debris.
C.
Bicycle parking facilities shall be installed at the project site pdor to final inspection
and the grant of occupancy,
do
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 future development projects will contribute to
the cumulative formation of ozone and short-term particulate matter in the Ukiah Valley. While
the City Council finds further that this cumulative contribution of 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.
The City finds that measures will be effective in avoiding or reducing impacts to an acceptable
level when they become conditions of project approval. They will be monitored by City
Engineering and Planning Department staff during the grading and building permit process as well
as during the construction phases of all future projects.
11. Visual Quality: The Airport Industrial Park is situated in a highly visible location
adjacent to State Highway 101. The AlP is also highly visible from Talmage Road, the residences
along the westem hills of the City, and a few other locations in the southern portion of the City.
Buildout of the AlP will completely change the views of the site. Existing views of vacant fields,
Oak trees, a pear orchard, and a vineyard could be replaced by views of a collection of
commercial, industrial and office buildings, streets, signs and parking lots. Night-time views will
also be altered with new views of lights and lighted signs. However, retention of the pond and
riparian area within the southern portion of the AlP, as well as landscaping along the Highway
101 frontage, will provide a visual buffer along Highway 101, and will break-up the massing of
future buildings. The EIR concludes that the potential impacts to existing views and the visual
quality of the area are subjective, and that the City must decide if they are significant.
Visual Quality Mitigations: The EIR recommends extending the pond/riparian
complex on the Airport Business Park into the Redwood Business Park to create a natural
landscape corridor that will soften the visual effects of building out the AlP. It also recommends
requiring shielded, non-glare types of lighting, the creation of a landscape zone along the freeway,
a design review/process for the AlP, restrictive sign standards, the retention of Oak trees, and
the retention of existing landscaping.
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 buildout of the
Airport Industrial Park could have potentially significant adverse 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, except for extending the pond/riparian complex on the Airport Business Park into
the Redwood Business Park, because there is no guaranteed long-term source of water to fill and
nourish the extended pond. The adopted mitigation measures will become conditions of approval
for future development projects, and will be monitored by City Planning Staff during the building
permit process as well as during the construction phases of the projects.
12. Noise: AlP buildout traffic will increase noise levels on existing streets north of
the site by one decibel or less. This amount is considered imperceptible and is not a significant
impact. Short-term construction noise, while not considered significant, could be disruptive to the
residential area north of the AlP.
The construction of the required southern access road when the AlP reaches 50-percent
buildout, will result in significant noise impacts to the Norgard Lane/Townsend Lane
neighborhood. Even after mitigation, the EIR concludes that the impacts will remain significant.
Noise Mitigations: The EIR recommends mitigation measures limiting
construction times and requiring heavy construction equipment to be properly muffled and
maintained. Additionally, it is recommended that the final route for the southem extension avoid
altogether or as much of the Norgard Lane/Townsend Lane residential neighborhood as possible.
To further reduce impacts to this neighborhood, it is recommended that the City initially preclude
truck traffic, or insulate existing residential units to mitigate noise impacts. However, even with
these mitigation measures, it is concluded that noise impacts will remain significant.
It is possible that the City may choose to purchase and annex the residential properties
in this neighborhood, and provide opportunity for redevelopment of the properties into airport
related industrial uses. If this were to occur prior to the AlP reaching 50 percent buildout, the
impact would become moot, because no residential properties would remain.
Noise Findings: The City finds that all mitigation measures are reasonable and
feasible. The City finds further that implementation of measures/conditions to restrict construction
hours, requiring equipment to be muffled and maintained, and the design of a southern access
route avoiding the residential neighborhoods along Townsend Land and Norgard Lane will avoid
or reduce noise impacts to an acceptable levels. The adopted mitigation measures will become
conditions of approval for future development projects, and will be monitored by City Engineering
and Planning Department staff during the building permit process as well as during the
construction phases of the project.
If future impacts should arise that have not been fully mitigated by these measures, which
is highly speculative at this time, the City Council further finds that any such significant adverse
noise, traffic and safety impacts are overridden for the following reasons:
STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
Traffic resulting from the extension of Airport Road to Townsend Lane and Norgard Lane
will result in increased truck and automobile volumes, and noise. If mitigation measures prove
ineffective or impractical, if a final route does not avoid Townsend Land and Norgard Lane
altogether, or if the City does not annex, purchase and redevelop the area from residential to
industrial uses in the future, the City would accept these impacts because of the long-term
economic, social, and health and safety benefits to the City.
The City finds that the significant noise and safety impacts resulting from the extension
of Airport Road to Townsend Lane/Norgard Lane are overridden by the following social and
economic benefits of the buildout of the Airport Industrial Park:
a. The long-term economic benefit to the City of Ukiah and the ability of the City to
increase the job base and obtain a higher level of retail sales and property taxes outweighs the
concems regarding noise and neighborhood impacts. Buildout of the AlP will result in 1,332,000
square feet of industrial, office and commercial structures that will provide hundreds of moderate
to high paying jobs to Ukiah citizens, representing a major expansion of the Ukiah economy.
Unemployment in Ukiah is higher than the State average. Additional employment and expansion
of the Ukiah economy will result in improved living conditions for Ukiah residents and reduced
government costs for welfare benefits, unemployment insurance, and social services.
b. The buildout of the AlP will substantially increase the assessed value of the project
site, which will in turn increase the property tax revenue of the Ukiah Redevelopment Agency
(RDA). This additional tax revenue to the RDA will assist in the implementation of the
redevelopment plan, including the development of Iow and moderate income housing.
c. Buildout of the AlP will generate substantial amounts of sales tax to the City. In
addition, the City will receive substantial funds per year in additional fees for water, sewer and
electrical services provided to the project and in business license fees. These additional
revenues will be available to meet the needs of general City government at a time when the City
anticipates significant cuts in State funding.
d. The extension of Airport Road and construction of a southem road connection to
South State Street will improve area-wide traffic circulation, reduce emergency vehicle response
times, and provide an important additional evacuation route from the AlP area. It will also reduce
traffic related impacts to other areas of the community, particularly those north of the site such
as on Talmage Road and its key intersections.
13. Police and Fire Service: Both the Ukiah Police Department and Ukiah Fire
Department believe that they can effectively serve the buildout of the AlP. However, the EIR
concludes that while revenue will be generated as a result of sales and property taxes collected
on new development within the Park that could help fund expanded service, the municipal
revenues may not be enough to maintain current levels of service. Additionally, for emergency
vehicle access and circulation, as well as site evacuation, the EIR recommends construction of
the southem access road when the AlP reaches fifty percent buildout.
Police and Fire Service Mitigations: Recommended mitigation measures include
compliance with standard building and fire codes, construction of the southern access road at fifty
percent buildout of the AlP, and consideration of a fire and emergency protection mitigation fee
for all new development.
Police and Fire Service Findings: The City finds that all mitigation measures are
reasonable and feasible, except for establishing a fire and emergency protection mitigation fee
for all new development. The City Council finds further that such a fee program 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 approval for future development projects,
and will be monitored by City Planning and Fire Department Staff during the building permit
process as well as during the construction phases of the projects.
14. Sewage Treatment and Disposal: Buildout of the AlP is expected to generate
approximately 70,000 gallons per day (gpd) of wastewater. This figure could increase if the
Mendocino Brewing Company facility is expanded in the future. The Ukiah Valley Sanitation
Distdct (UVSD) has indicated it has the capacity to serve buildout of the AlP.
Additionally, a major trunk collector line crosses the eastem part of the AlP. This trunk
line has ample capacity to transport wastewater generated on the site.
While the buildout of the AlP will not have a significant adverse impact on the capacity or
operations of the UVSD facilities, the project's increment of the potentially significant cumulative
impacts on the UVSD's collection, treatment, and disposal facilities should be minimized.
Sewer Mitigations: To minimize potential cumulative impacts, the EIR
recommends requiring all future development to install water conservation devices, that all
sewage collectors for the AlP be designed according to adopted codes, and that all development
pay appropriate connection fees at the time application is made.
Sewer Treatment and Disposal Findings: The City finds that all mitigation
measures when imposed as conditions of approval are reasonable and feasible, and will be
effective in avoiding or reducing impacts to an acceptable level. The adopted mitigation
measures will become conditions of approval for future development projects, and will be
monitored by City Planning and Utility Department staff during the building permit process as well
as during the construction phases of the project.
15. Water: Based on the average industrial and commercial water demand, buildout
of the AlP will require approximately 158,000 gallons per day of water. This equates to a peak
summer demand of approximately 253,000 gallons per day. The City has the capacity to meet
this increased demand which is the equivalent of about 6.8 percent of the current pumping
capacity. According to the City Water and Sewer Operations Superintendent, in a memo dated
July 12, 1995 in response to issues raised in the FEIR, the City has a secure water right well into
the future, and has a very reliable water supply system.
Water Mitigations: While the buildout of the AlP will not have significant impacts
on the City's ability to provide water, a number of mitigation measures are recommended to
minimize the amount of water used for the project. These measures include the installation of
water conservation devices, and the use of drought tolerant landscaping species and Iow water
demand irrigation devices.
Water Service Findings: The City finds that all mitigation measures when
imposed as conditions of approval are reasonable and feasible to avoid or reduce impacts to an
acceptable level. The adopted mitigation measures will become conditions of approval for future
development projects and will be monitored by City Planning and Utility Department staff during
the building permit process as well as during the construction phases of the project.
16. Schools: Buildout of the AlP will generate new households and, consequently,
new students. The precise number of students depends on the types of businesses that will
ultimately occupy the site. Using the student generation factors maintained by the Ukiah Unified
School District (UUSD), buildout of the AlP could generate as many as 431 new households in
the District and an additional 302 students. Based on a 10-year phased buildout of the park, it
is assumed that the student generation would total approximately 30 new students per year.
While the current adopted developer mitigation fee of $.28 per square foot of building may not
sufficiently offset the impact of this many new students on the capacity of the UUSD, the district
has indicated that it only intends to collect this amount.
School Mitigations: No mitigations required.
School Findings: Based on the information contained in the Final EIR, the City
finds that project will not have a significant adverse impact on the Ukiah Unified School District.
17. Land Use: Buildout of the AlP will result in the loss or displacement of a small
pear orchard on the southem portion of the site, but this is not deemed significant since the City
has committed this property to industrial type development and has zoned it accordingly.
Additionally, the EIR concludes that there will not be a conflict with the Municipal Airport to the
west of the site, and that the mitigation measures contained in other impact categories will
successfully off-set potential conflicts and impacts to land use.
While development of the site would potentially conflict with goals and policies aimed at
preserving agricultural land, the City has in the past determined that industrial use of the site was
more valuable than potential agricultural uses. The projects are 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 EIR indicates that the extension of Airport Road to Townsend Lane/Norgard Lane
(southem access road) will substantially alter the neighborhood character along these streets.
Statement of overriding considerations have been made regarding these impacts in Section 13
(Noise) above.
Land Use Mitigations: No mitigations required.
Land Use Findings: Based on the analysis and information contained in the EIR
and this Resolution, the City Council finds that the projects will not have significant adverse
impacts on land use.
18. Traffic and Circulation: Based upon reasonable traffic assumptions and the
proposed buildout projections and assumptions contained in the EIR, the registered professional
traffic consultant determined that the total tdp generation for the Redwood Business Park (RBP)
would be 22,490 two-way tdps with 965 inbound and 1,220 outbound vehicle trips during the PM
peak traffic Hour. Buildout of the Airport Business Park (ABP) to the south would result in 1,530
two-way trips with 45 inbound and 160 outbound vehicle trips dudng the PM peak traffic hour.
Accordingly, buildout of the AlP will result in 24,020 daily two-way tdps with 1010 inbound and
1,380 outbound during the Evening Peak traffic hour (4:30 - 5:30 PM). This amount of traffic will
result in a degradation of levels of service (LOS) at a number of nearby key intersections.
Additionally, there would be a number of roadway impacts and corresponding safety concerns.
Based upon an assumed distribution pattem, the following impacts to intersections would
result from buildout of the AlP:
,
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 turning movements operating unacceptably at LOS D.
1
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 tuming and through movements from Commerce Drive
operating unacceptably at LOS F.
The FEIR, on pp. 94-108, lists a number of roadway impacts and safety concems, as well
as cumulative traffic impacts.
Additionally, the EIR indicates that the extension of Airport Road to Townsend
Lane/Norgard Lane (southem access road) will result in traffic safety impacts along these streets.
A Statement of overriding considerations have been made regarding these impacts in Section 13
(Noise) above.
Traffic and Circulation Mitigations: Mitigation measures are recommended on
pp. 88-108 in the FEIR to eliminate or reduce the impacts to levels of insignificance. These
mitigation measures would be implemented when threshold levels are met or exceeded. It is
anticipated that necessary intersection and roadway improvements will be accomplished as the
AlP develops and traffic volumes meet the threshold limits. It should be noted that if the
anticipated traffic volumes are not generated as a result of the phased buildout of the AlP, certain
mitigation measures would not be warranted. Additionally, the City Engineer has disagreed with
mitigation measure No. 9 on page 100 of the FEIR, and based upon his analysis, contained in
the administrative record, the City does not support the conclusions leading to this mitigation
measure:
,
Mitigation No. 9 (in part) on page 100 of the FEIR: the construction of separate
deceleration lanes on the approaches to all major driveways.
Additionally, it should be noted that Table 5 contained on page 107 of the FEIR lists the
percent of PM peak hour traffic at study intersections that is generated by the Redwood Business
Park. This table will be used to determine percent responsibility requirements for the Redwood
Business Park, the City of Ukiah, and other property owners/developers within the Airport
Industrial Park.
Traffic and Circulation Findings: Based on the independent third-party traffic
study prepared by a registered professional traffic engineer, the City Council finds that all
recommended mitigation measures, except as indicated above are reasonable and feasible. The
City finds further that as the Airport Industrial Park builds out, and impact thresholds are met, the
recommended mitigation measures will be implemented, and traffic and circulation impacts will
be avoided or reduced to acceptable levels. The adopted mitigation measures will become
conditions of project approval as the AlP builds out, and will be monitored by City Engineering
and Planning Department staff during the entitlement process as well as during the construction
phases of future projects within the AlP.
The City Council finds further that individual projects within the Airport Industrial
Park will contribute to the cumulative impacts to the levels of service of on and off-site
intersections and roads. The City Council shall establish off-site capital improvement fees for the
Airport Industrial Park pursuant to Ukiah City Code Section 9543 that will require all future
development in the park to contribute proportionately to the cost of implementing mitigation
measures if impact thresholds requiring those mitigation measures are met. The City Council
finds that this mitigation will reduce or avoid cumulative traffic impacts to acceptable levels.
19. Project Alternatives: After thoroughly considering project altematives, including
the no-project alternative, and for the reasons stated in the staff report, dated July 28, 1995, The
City Council finds that none of the altematives 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.
