CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY FACILITIES, RECREATION AND COMMUNITY DESIGN EDUCATION The Ukiah Unified School District has imposed a School Impact Fee on residential development to fund school facilities expansion in anticipation of increased school enrollment. There is no designated sunset date for this program. The Mendocino-Lake Community College District provides two year community college program for portions of Mendocino and Lake Counties. The College is developing its permanent location near Hensley Creek, west of the freeway. PUBLIC SAFETY Existing City Public Safety facilities include the police station located at 300 Seminary Avenue and two fire stations, one located at 300 Seminary Avenue and the other on North State Street, northerly of the State Street/U.S. 101 Freeway interchange. Other emergency services in the form of the Sheriff's office, hospitals and private ambulance services and California Division of Forestry are located within the valley although not under the jurisdiction of the City. The existing police station is adequate for this plan. CEMETERY The Russian River Cemetery District operates a 47-acre burial ground on Low Gap Road in Ukiah. Sixty-three percent of the land, 30 of the 47 acres, is now in use. In order to more~ efficiently utilize the available land, the former density of 500 plots per acre has been increased to 1,200 plots per acre. Since the State prohibits above ground burial in its cemetery dis- tricts, additional acreage is in order for the Russian River Cemetery Dis- trict. FAIRGROUNDS The Twelfth District Agricultural Association runs the Redwood Empire Fair, located on a 49.8 acre site. SUN HOUSE The City of Ukiah owns the structure and surrounding grounds of the Grace Carpenter Hudson residence. Known as the Sun House, the facility is a regis- tered State Historical Landmark and is listed in the Federal Register. A museum has been built in conjunction with preservation of the house and immediate environ§. A significant collection of paintings and early Pomo Indian artifacts is housed at the site. AIRPORT The City of Ukiah owns and operates a municipal airport encompassing approximately 165 + acres. The FAA has a pilot service station available at the site. There is no scheduled air carrier operating from the airport, though there is significant private and charter aircraft activity. Commuter bus service is operated from the airport to Santa Rosa and San Francisco Airport. -31- EXHIBIT F SANITARY LANDFILL The City of Ukiah owns and operates a 200 + acre sanitary landfill located outside of the City, east of the Russian River. Franchise City service and individual hauling are accommodated. The landfill site has a limited capacity which should be preserved for use by the City of Ukiah residents. This facility represents a substantial public financial and service commitment in both initial land purchase and on-going operation and maintenance. Dis- posal of waste in an economic manner requires the sanitary landfill to remain in close proximity to urban areas and maintain compatibility with adjacent land uses. Increasing encroachment by residential, commercial or industrial development must be mitigated to insure the full life of the facility and the continued opportunities for solid waste disposal for the City of Ukiah. The City landfill is a major element in the Mendocino County Solid Waste Management Plan. EXISTING PARKS The existing developed and undeveloped parks within the planning area are summarized in Table IV.

Ukiah Lit. Leag. Assoc.) Total 38.8 acres -32- EXHIBIT G In addition to those neighborhood and community facilities outlined above, regional recreation facilities exist at Lake Mendocino (1,670 acres), Low Gap Regional Park (80 acres), the 12th District Fairgrounds (48.7 acres), the Municipal Golf Course (130 acres) and Mill Creek Park. The municipal Golf Course is operated by the City of Ukiah and though serving a regional popu- lation is considered a Community Recreational Facility within the confines of the City Limit. DEFICIENCY ANALYSIS To prevent deficiencies from occurring through future development, the City has adopted an ordinance requiring land dedication or in-lieu fees for park purposes. The dedication requirement (5.0 acres per 1,000 population) meets the needs for neighborhood, community and regional parks. The area bounded on the north by Gobbi Street, on the east by U.S. 101, on the south by Talmage and on the west by the City boundary does not include adequate park, open space or recreational facilities to accommodate the residential uses in this locale. Future development within this area shall be required to provide land or in-lieu fees to meet this need. Emphasis shall be placed on providing useable open space integrated with each particular development. The utilization of the Park Dedication Ordinance shall be to improve existing or purchase new property which would provide recreational facilities for the subdivision from which these fees are paid. Standards for the utilization of these funds will be determined on an individual basis depending upon the needs of the particular subdivision. The plans for Planned Developments are neces- sary as part of the development to insure the best design possible. TRAILS/LINKAGES Trails provide recreation to the hiker, jogger, bicyclist, or equestrian; and they allow the linkage of other recreation/open space/cultural sites. The specific location and design of the trails shall be compatible with adjacent uses. Coordination with Mendocino County to implement a trail system is necessary. Bike trails may be used for purposes of transportation as well as recreation and may be of two types; bike trail or bike route. ACTION PROGRAM 1. Maintain coordination between the City and schools, so that each can be aware of mutual problems and planned activities. The City Council should consider school needs in all planning activities. 2. Pursue an agreement with the School District for neighborhood recreation. 3. Well planned hillside development is encouraged. The hillsides are a prime component of Ukiah's image and the view of them should be protected and enhanced. High rising construction that interferes with a satisfying vista should be prohibited; ascending development that eats into the scrub covered slopes should be controlled. This involves careful -35-
