RESOLUTION NO. 91-51
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH
DECLARING THAT THE CITY OF UKIAH WILL NOT CONSIDER
INDIVIDUAL APPLICATIONS FOR AMENDMENT OF ITS GENERAL
PLAN UNTIL COMPLETION OF THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT/
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY
WHEREAS:
1. Under Government Code Section 65350, cities are required to
amend their General Plans and elements thereof as provided in Article 6,
of Chapter 3, Division 1, Title 7 of the Government Code; and
2. Government Code Section 65351 requires the City to provide
opportunities for the involvement of citizens, public agencies, and other
community groups, through public hearings and other means, in the process
of considering changes to the City's General Plan; and
3. Government Code Section 65358 authorizes the City Council to
decide when it is in the public interest to amend all or part of an
adopted General Plan; and
4. Section 65358 further authorizes the City Council to determine
the manner by which amendments to the City's General Plan may be
initiated; and
5. In Ukiah City Code ("UCC") Section 9260, the City Council has
authorized the amendment of the City's General Plan, whenever the public
necessity and convenience and the general welfare require such amendment;
and
6. UCC Section 9261 provides that an amendment to the General Plan
may be initiated by a verified petition of one or more property owners
affected by a proposed amendment; and
7. In November 1990, the City formed the Growth Management Steering
Committee, composed of representatives of divers interests within the City
and the Ukiah Valley, to oversee the development of a comprehensive Growth
Management Plan for the City and the Ukiah Valley and comprehensive
revisions of all elements of the City of Ukiah General Plan; and
8. The City contemplates that the process of developing these plans
will take 18 months and involve the formation of separate citizen advisory
groups to address each element of the General Plan and the solicitation of
input from all economic, ethnic, institutional, and political groups in
the community; and
9. The Growth Management Plan/General Plan Revision process
currently underway furthers the letter and the spirit of Government Code
Section 65351 and should result in a comprehensive and integrated General
Plan that reflects the planning goals of all interests within the City of
Ukiah; and

10. Piecemeal amendments to the General Plan, pending completion of
this process, could undermine or frustrate the goal of developing and
implementing a comprehensive planning document for the City of Ukiah; and
11. Land use issues for individual properties may be addressed
during the land use considerations of the comprehensive planning process;
and
12. For the reasons stated above, the City Council finds and
declares that during the time that the Growth Management Plan/General Plan
Revision Project as described herein is underway, piecemeal amendments to
the General Plan initiated by individual property owners are not in the
public interest and are contrary to the public convenience and necessity
and the general welfare of the City of Ukiah;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that:
1. The City Council will not consider petitions under UCC
Section 9261 by individual property owners to amend the General Plan of
the City of Ukiah until after the City Council adopts revisions to the
General Plan of the City of Ukiah which develop out of the Growth
Management Plan/General Plan Revision process currently underway; and
2. The Department of Community Development is directed to list any
land use change proposal for a specific property and include it for
consideration in the Growth Management Plan/General Plan Revision land use
evaluation process; and
3. The Department of Community Development is directed not to
accept applications under UCC Section 9261 to amend the General Plan of
the City of Ukiah until after the City Council adopts revisions to said
General Plan that develop out of the process currently underway or until
further instruction of the City Council.
