SANITARY LANDFILL The City of Ukiah also 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 projected life of the site exceeds 25 years. This facility represents a substantial public financial and service commitment in both initial land purchase and on-going operation and maintenance. Disposal of waste in an economic manner requires the sanitary landfill to remain in close proximity to urban areas and maitain capability with adjacent land uses. Increasing encroachment byresidentail, commercial or industrial development must be mitigated to insure the full life of the facility and the continued opportunities for solid waste disposal for not only the City of Ukiah but the entire Ukiah Valley and surrounding communities currently utilizing this resource. The City landfill is a major element in the Mendocino County Solid Waste Management Plan and is a basis for a required urlban service to residents from Boonville to Potter Valley.

The municipal Golf Course is operated by the City of Ukiah and though serving a regional population is considered a Community Recreational Facility within the confines of the City Limit". DEFICIENCY ANALYSIS To prevent deficiencies from occuring 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 railroad 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 the 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 Development is necessary 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. Initiate steps to begin land acquisition and development of the Civic Center in the central area. 2. 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. 3. Pursue an agreement with the School District for neighborhood recreation. -34- ARTERIAL CIRCULATION The following existing and proposed streets as indicated in Figure 4 are to be the basis of the Ukiah area's traffic circulation: Streets and Roads identified 1.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL General Plan Amendment 1983-C includes one requested area of land use change, "Marlene Street East", and modifications to the Community Facilities, Recreation and Community Design, and Circulation-Transportation and Scenic Highways Elements. LAND USE CHANGE--"MARLENE STREET EAST" The proposed land use change will not be adopted, and thus there is no environmental impact with respect to a new land use designation of the property. COMMUNITY FACILITIES, RECREATION AND COMMUNITY DESIGN ELEMENTS The proposed changes include a new large scale map of the City with existing park facilities, addition of existing parks to the park list in the Plan, and statements regarding need for parks and City's intent for use of in-lieu fees or required park dedication. CIRCULATION-TRANSPORTATION AND SCENIC HIGHWAY ELEMENT Proposed changes include a new large scale map of the City with the major circulation elements and a minor modification to the list of streets. EVALUATION OF PROJECT The documentation changes provide greater specificity and better graphics to the plan. There is no substantial change to the intent of the goals, objectives, and action programs of the Plan. There are no land use changes. General Plan Amendment 1983-C will not degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. The project will not achieve short-term environmental goals to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals and does not have cumulatively considerable impacts. General Plan Amendment 1983-C will not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
