PASSED AND ADOPTED this 19th day of June, 1991 by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Wattenburger, Shoemaker, Schneiter and Mayor Henderson. NOES: Councilmember McMichael ABSENT: None AT,ST: /' i' : / , Clerk C6~een B. Henderson, Mayor MITIGATION PROPOSALS To eliminate the identified potential impacts, the following mitigation measures are to be implemented or assurances made that measures will be incorporated with the issuance of each building permit: 1. Structures on Lot Nos. 4, 5, and 6 must have fire-retardant roof covering. Natural fuel modification will be required within 30 feet of any structure. 2. Grading and drainage construction be scheduled so that it is completed between April and November 1, when rainfall is very low and infrequent, with all runoff diversion devices in place at that time. 3. During construction a drainage plan be provided for each lot to be implemented during daily grading activities. 4. Erosion control seeding be done on slopes of 15% or greater. 5. Ail grading be performed in accordance with the Uniform Building Code Chapter 70. 6. A specific grading plan be submitted for Lot Nos. 5 and 6 prior to issuance of any building per~its to assure that unstable earth conditions will not result. 7. Should archaeological materials be discovered during future development, all activity be temporarily halted in the vicinity of the find and that a qualified archaeologist be retained to evaluate the find and to recommend mitigation procedures, if necessary. 8. Only those trees be removed as labeled on a plan to be approved by the Planning Commission. Alternatives to the proposed project which could be considered would include the following: 1. The elimination of Lot No. 6 would decrease .any disturbance to the hillside. Access to the remaining lots could be provided by a private driveway, rather than a dedicated street, thereby decreasing the amount of ].and to be paved. 2. Development of the property with clustered housing on the flat lands, with access from a private driveway would provide room for some commonly held recreational activities; i.e., swimming pool, picnic areas, courts. 3. Six parcels meeting R-1 zoning requirements could be established along Highland Avenue retaining the remaining area, other than the existing house, as open space. ~CITY OF UKIAH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MICHAEL F.

(A short-term impact on ttle environment is one which occurs in a rela- tively brief, definit[ve period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into tile future. ) .. c.

(A project may impact on t~ or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatiVely snall, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant.) d.

Discussion of Environmental Evaluation · (Narrative .description of environmental impacts.) Yes ~[~ybe No x "' X x IV. Determination (To be conpleted by the Lead Agency.) On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COJLD NOT have a significant effect on tile environment, and a N~ATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. Date I find that although the proposed project could have a significant · effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this c~mse because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A N~GATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED. I find the proposed project ~thY have a significant effect on the 'environment, and an ENVIRON},{ENTAL IMPACt REPORT is required. For City of Ukiah (Note' This is only m suggested rom. Public agencies are free to devise their own format for inttial~studies.) -6- III. DioJUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALbA'~ JN 1. (a&e) Any cutting into the hillside or street development will increase the possibility of erosion. Erosion control measures, such as seeding or construction of retaining wall, should be taken. 1. (b&c) Road grading and building pad preparation will disrupt material surface overcover, existing soil, and modify ground surface relief features. 3. (b&f) Any paving or overcovering of soil will change the drainage pattern and the rate of absorption. 4. (a) The existing Walnut trees and certain other trees (some diseased) will be removed to allow for development. 5. (c) Changes in the number of' species in the vicinity may be impacted. Development may alter the migration of deer in the area. The degree of impact at this time is not anticipated to be great. 6. (a) Noise will be increased during periods of construction. After development, noise should be that typically associated with single-family living. Ye 18. Addition of street lighting will produce new light typical of a residential street. Development of Lot No. 6°will somewhat decrease the scenic vista of the hillside. Construction of residential units along Highland Avenue may reduce view of western hills and eliminate some trees.
