Three years later,in 1995,[he City adopted a new General = Plan,which called for the adoption of Design Guidellnes for all commercial development within the City limits. After considerable discussion, it was decided that the most appropriate way to proceed was to simply augment the existing Downtown Design Guidelines for application to commercial development projeCts outside the existing � '�, Downtown Deslgn District. The existing Design Guidelines for the downtown area remain unchanged and are included in this document as they were adopted in 1992. They will continue to be applied within the Downtown Design Districras they have since their formal adoption. New guidelines more applicable to the outlying commercial areas and commercial gateways have been prepared and are included as a separate chapter in this document. : The purpose of the Design Guidelines for projects outside the Downtown Design District is I) to implement the goals and policies of the Community Design Element of the General Ptan; 2) to provide design guidance and criteria for commerciai development; 3) to provide site planning and architectural excelience,as well as unity and integrity in the commercial urbanscape outside of the Downtown core;and�I) to provide attractive commercial areas along the major transportation corrldors outside the downtown that will stimulate business and city-wide ecanomic development. 5) to provide property owners, developers,architects,and project designers with a comprehensive guide for '� buifding design. ' The Design Guidelines are intended to address the concerns expressed by the Planning Commission and City Council regarding a lack of design guidelines for commercial development within the City, and ro fulfil the direction contained in the Community Design Element of the Uklah General Plan. , The Design Guidelines are applicable to all commercial development outside the existing Down[own Design Distrtrt, and are intended to be applied in a fair and reasonable manner, taking into consideration the size,configuratian,and location of affected and surrounding parcels,as well as the size,scope,and purpose of the individual development • ;� projects. Architects, project designers,and/or project applicants are expected to make a strong and sincere effort to comply with the Design Guidetines and contribute to the improvement of the City's physical image. Project applicant's,w[th the assistance of the[r architects and building designers,are expected to put forth a convincing creative effort when planning development and designing buildings. .�g_ Site Pl�nni�g Natural Site Features Compatibility With Generally, a designer should plan a project to fit a site's Surrounding Development natural conditions,rather than aiter a site to accommodate The placement and layout of buildings, parking areas, a stock building plan. landscaping, exterior lighting, and other site design features should be compatible with surrounding land uses Significant existing site features such as mature trees/ and architecture from both a functionai and aesthetic landscaping, lot size and configuration, topography, and standpoint. the relationship to surrounding development should be compelling factors in determining the development capacity Development should not create unattractive views for and design of projects. neighbors or traffic corridors.

Community Design�Page 1 � 2 COMMUN/TYDES/GN OI�iL1NtTY DESIGN IS an optional element that is not defined in California regulations. It is one of the more popular elecrive General P1an elements; more than 120 of California's 265 incorporated cities have design elements. Nearly half the State's counties and over half of its cides have D�sign Review boards. The Communiry Design Element is i�tended to establish policy parameters for accotnmodating all views of the area's appearance. The first section of this Element is about design guidelines and administration of guidelines. This is followed by a discussion of the components of design throughout the Valley. Within each section, there is an explanation box identifying to which land uses the section applies. 2.01 Design guidelines and sfandards 2.01.01 Summary of major findings �� uring the community visioning process for this element, the need to ensure that buildings are "amactive" and "�esthedcally pleasing" was stressed. Additionally, attractive landscaping of new commercial and industrial development was considered important.

City as a part of the 1992 Downtown Master Plan. Design guidetines need to be consistent between the City and the County to ensure that, through the application of a uniform set of criteria residents of the Valley as a whole know what to eapect in terms of design standards. By providing those wanting to build new swctures with similaz criteria, "design shopping" for the "cheaper" requirements can be avoided. The visuaI character of commercial and industrial developments within the Ciry of Uldah and outlying communities could be improved by developing and enforcing sign and landscaping standards. Such standards are especially important along the Highway 101 and the railroad corridors. } j Atlopted by the City CounGl:December 6,1�85 Ukiah Valley General Plan and Growth Management Program City of Ukiah�Mendocino County,Califomia VI.2. Commurnry Design�Page 2 Newer residential neighborhoods also present design opportunities during subdivision review. Increasingly narrow lots and ever larger garages are tuming many newer neighborhoods into monotonous streetscapes dominated by garage doors and driveways in place of inviting porches and facades which characterize older neighborhoods. Alleyways for accessing garages, roomy front porches, or other uadi- tional small town design characteristics could be encouraged through design standards to eucure that new neighborhoods mimic the positive visual qualities of the City's older neighborhoods. Counry staff will function as the primary reviewing body for design review once the Guidelines are adopted. Both the City and Counry staffs have the abiliry to draw upon technical advisors when needed, much as the City Planning Commission has provided design and technical advice for the Redevelopment design review process. 2.01.02 General Plan goals, poticies, and imptementing programs Goal CD-1: Establish a design review program appropriate for the Ukiah Valley.

Views of wooded or chaparra] covered mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for all parts of the City and the Ukiah valley. The City's western neighborhoods abut directly against wooded hillsides, while views of the steep Mayacama Mountains across the valley can be seen to the east down City streets.

Creeks flowing from the western hills'flow through parts of the ciry and contain vestiges of native vegetation. However,because of urban development, some of the natural scenic qualiry of these creeks has been diminished. Public vantage points in terms of views of the river and area creeks are also somewhat limited. Througt,out Ukiah and in scattered azeas throughout the valley are surviving groves of valley oak forests which originally carpeted much of the valley's floor. Because of theu large size, these remaining trees provide a significant silhouette and add immeasurably to the visual character of the azea. Many outstanding large trees of all species, which are significant visual resowces and part of the heritage of the communiry, can be conserved or protected through creative site design. Part of the role of communiry design in maintaining this panorama and the attractive first impression of the Valley is to ensure that fhe areas in which "urban scale" development is likely to occur-Ukiah, , Calpella, The Forks, and Talmage—continue to be separate and distinct areas. These areas are considered likely to develop due to the availabiliry of public services and community facilities. Retaining this requires green space between the communities.

For the General Plan, there are two levels of gateways. The first level is the gateways into the Valley—US 101, Highways 20 and 253, and Eastside Road. In general, most participants in the visioning process find that the entry points to the Valley present an attractive panorama of orchards, vineyards, and traes. The natural appearance of the Valley is well-recognized as attractive and beautiful. ) Adopted by the City Counpl:December 6,1695 Ukiah Vatley General Plan and Growth Management Program Cfty of Uklah�Mendoclno County,California VL2.

To a lesser excent this is also true of Perkins Street, Gobbi Street, and Talmage Road. Outside the Ciry's immediate downtown area, much of State Street is dominated by a typical strip development type of streetscape.

[Timefiame forc�mpletion: Ongoing planning period ♦ Measure applies to: City and County ♦ Agency/Depertment responsible: City Planning Department and County Department of Planning and Buildingj 2.05 A sense of p/ace "sense of place" is a term that refers to a subjecdve posidve faling that one is able to experience in a location. While there is no "hard and fast" definition as to what constitutes a "sense of place," effectively it is how a communiry or azea is described, its comfort level, and the positive feelings to return to the azea. A sense of place is an nnportant part of the success of a communiry. If there is no belief or feeling of belonging to a commutiry,the area does not become on�'s home or place to which there is a desire to return. While much of the General Plan deals with facts and figures proposing policy programs with goals that can be measural in numbers, the Communiry Design element addresses the subjecave issues of ssthetics. The attracdveness of the Valley—from its panoramas to individual build- ings — is going to be measured be different standards from one person to the next. The purpose of defining a sense of place is to try and provide the parameters within which design standazds will ultunately be developed. � Adopted by the City Counul:pecember 6,1065 Ula3h Valley General Pian end Cirowth►ul8naqemettt proqram Clty of Uklah�Msndxino Counry,Callfornfa VI.2.

Many of these residential neighborhoods contain homes or business buildings of similar age or character. As buildings age, the care and upkeep may differ from structure to structure. When this occurs, some residential neighborhoods may have homes that are in "pristine" condition while others provide opportunities for rehabilitation or restoration, or may even warrant demolition. When older buildings are demolished and replaced by newer buildings, it is important to ensure that the fabric of the neighborhood is not visually overwhelmed by newer construction. � Maintaining a neighborhood's residential character is important for its long-term stability. If the comfort or appearance of a neighborhood changes significantly, the existing residents may feel a loss and may wish to move from the area. i ; Adopted by me Cfty Coundl.December 6,1 D95 Ukiah Valley General Plan and Growth Management Program CFty oi Ukiah�Mendocino County,Califomfa VI.2.

A common solution is to construct "sound walls" between the residences and the road generating the noise. Technically, sound walls must be of adequate height to block the line-of-sight between the noise-generating vehicles and the noise .`r .. �<i%•`.•'.?:i<:titi{?ti��:•:2{2Y:ry,W,p;Sr,r,•��,%•i]i;p;{:'J.^:;:::?;:::i:::4}}::•}:•:+.{:7}Y.:}iii: rece��ers. se onolithic w ls 1' e 1'he m aI in man urban y . :;.:.+>`:::>°:°> �<��:'.>:<.`��i��>::::�::::<.<:: ::::<:.,:::�::.::,� ...::: �`�� :>::;:�?"�t i�1a�..�2::.: . ::: . ��>: �'...... .�Ff:```''':,`�:<:�,:;::: freewa s. ere is si nificant concern at �>:.>:>;;:�:;;;;>;;;:;;;;;;;;::.:;:.;:<.;;;:>:.;;:;;:.::.>;;:.:::.;;��.::.>�::::::::::::�::��:.> ,.;:: .:::.

Communiry Design O Page 16 and cable television—underground. Undergrounding utilities takes the wires from the skyline and places them out of sight. 2.07.0!(C) Publlc p/aces Public facilities and buildings sometimes leave design considerarions out of the budget in order to save funds. This often re:sults in unattractive public buildings. Because public buildings often set the tone for the areas in which they are located they should adhere to quality design standards. Therefore they should be subject to the same design guidelines as private development. Parking 7ots are often public areas to which little attention is directed during the project design. Changes in the Ciry's approach to parking lot design are apparent in the approved plans for WalMart and K-Mart, both parking azeas which required extensive landscaping. As parking areas are built or improved throughout the Ciry, more conscientious design standards are to be incorporated in order to downplay �"fields of asphalt." 2.07.02 General Pian goals, policies, and implementing programs �oal CD-14: Require design standards for sound walls and other noise barriers.
