The agreement would require Safeway to dedicate to the City any rights-of-way needed to accommodate the bus turn-outs. It is proposed that one bus turn-out be located along the south line of Safeway's site which coincides with the north line of Gobbi Street and the other turn-out be located along Safeway's westerly line which coincides with the easterly line of South State Street. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the proposed agreement between Safeway and the City of Ukiah for the conveyance of land in exchange for public improvements and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement. Authorize the making of minor changes to the agreement subsequent to its review by Safeway. ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS: Do not approve agreement. Appropriation Requested: Citizen Advised: Requested by: Prepared by: Coordinated with: Attachments: N/A N/A Rick H. Kennedy, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Rick H. Kennedy, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Candace Horsley, City Manager David Rapport, City Attorney 1. Proposed Agreement Candace Horsley, City '~ager R:I\PW:kk ASAFEWAY Approve Agreement between Safeway, Inc., and City of Ukiah for the Conveyance of Land in Exchange for Public Improvements June 18, 1997 Page 2 The City-owned parcels which would be transferred to Safeway in exchange for the defined improvements are located to the north and east of Safeway's expanded site. Both of these parcels are remainders of former parcels which were acquired by the City for the extension of Main Street to Gobbi Street. The northerly parcel is 4 feet wide and 227.18 feet long containing 908.7 square feet more or less. The easterly parcel is of variable width from 6.83 feet to 8.88 feet and 80.17 feet long containing 632.6 square feet more or less. The cost to construct the two bus turn-outs is estimated at $20,000. This agreement has not been reviewed by Safeway and minor changes are anticipated. It is Staff's desire that the agreement be approved in concept prior to Safeway's land use permit being submitted to the Planning Commission and, therefore, Staff is requesting that the City Council approve the agreement with authorization for Staff to make minor changes to it. BACKGROUND Background information is provided in the Recital portion of the proposed agreement. It is to be emphasized that the public improvements that will be exchanged for City- owned and surplus land as called for in the agreement are not technically required as a result of Safeway's proposed project. While the Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact prepared for the project concludes that no significant cumulative air quality impacts would result from the new Safeway store, the document includes the bus turn-outs as mitigation in a "good faith" effort to reduce auto emissions, and the reliance on the personal vehicle. Safeway has voluntarily agreed to incorporate the bus turn-outs into the project in consideration for the exchange of City-owned, strip parcels, as well as to assist the City in its on-going efforts to reduce auto emissions and promote alternative modes of transportation. RHK:kk R: 1 \PW ASAFEVVAY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF UKIAH AND SAFEWAY, INC. FOR THE CONVEYANCE OF LAND IN EXCHANGE FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS This Agreement is made and entered on , 1997, in Ukiah, California, by and between SAFEWAY INC., hereinafter referred to as "Safeway" and the CITY OF UKIAH, hereinafter referred to as "City", a Municipal Corporation located in Mendocino County, California. RECITALS: . Safeway has applied for a Site Development Permit to construct a new 55,000 square foot supermarket store on an expanded site bounded on the east by Main Street, on the south by Gobbi Street and on the west by South State Street. This new supermarket will replace an existing 29,888 square foot Safeway Grocery Store located on the southeast side of the site described. . Safeway has and continues to acquire adjacent properties to the existing site to accommodate the new larger supermarket store. . The City owns in fee two (2) legal but non-buildable parcels to the north and east of Safeway's expanded site. The City-owned parcel to the north is four (4) feet wide and 227.18 feet long containing 908.7 _ square feet more or less. The City-owned parcel to the east is of variable width from 6.83 feet to 8.88 feet and 80.17 feet long containing 632.6 square feet more or less. These City-owned parcels are surplus properties and are remainders of parcels acquired for the extension of Main Street. Given their configuration and size these City-owned parcels have no beneficial use to the public. , Safeway desires to adjust the northerly property line of its expanded site which would involve the transfer of an equal amount of lands between Safeway and John A. Paju and Anna S. Wong. The contemplated property line adjustment would reconfigure the parcel owned by Paju and Wong whereby it would be separated into two (2) pieces by the City-owned northerly parcel. A portion of the City-owned easterly parcel conflicts with Safeway's proposed truck access to and from Main Street. o The Ukiah Planning Department has prepared a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact Report ("Report") for Safeway's Site Development Permit 97-17. Under the Cumulative Air Quality Impacts section of the Report, two bus turn-out facilities have been recommended as a mitigation measure addressing auto emissions and a measure promoting alternative transportation. One bus turn-out is to be located along Safeway's southerly boundary (Gobbi Street) and the other turn-out is to be located along Safeway's westerly boundary (State Street). Page 1 of 4 Agreement Between the City of Ukiah and Safeway, Inc. for the Conveyance of Land In Exchange for Public Improvements . The City proposes that Safeway construct at their cost the two proposed bus turn-outs including the dedication of required rights-of-way to accommodate the turn-outs in exchange for the conveyance of the northerly and easterly City- owned parcels described above to Safeway. AGREEMENT: Wherefore, in consideration of the above-recited facts and the terms and conditions as further stated herein, the parties hereby agree as follows: 1. Conveyance of public property in exchange for the construction of public bus turn-outs and the dedication of rights-of-way. The City agrees to convey to Safeway the two City-owned parcels ("the property") as described in the Recital of this Agreement and as shown on Exhibit "A", attached hereto and made a part of this Agreement in consideration of Safeway constructing at their sole cost two public bus turn-outs to be located as agreed to by Safeway, City, and the Mendocino Transit Authority (MTA). One bus turn-out will be located along the south line of Safeway's property which coincides with the north line of Gobbi Street. The other bus turn-out will be located on the west line of Safeway's property which coincides with the east line of South State Street. Safeway agrees to construct and complete the bus turn-outs prior to receiving a Certificate of Occupancy for the new supermarket. Safeway agrees to dedicate to the City, at no cost to the City, rights-of-way for street purposes needed to accommodate the bus turn- outs. Safeway agrees to construct the bus turn-outs in substantial conformance to the details and requirements set forth by MTA and the City. The City Manager is hereby authorized to sign on behalf of the City the conveyances of the property to Safeway. The City shall only be obligated to convey whatever interests it currently has in the the property and makes no warranties or representations concerning its title to the property. 2. Time of Execution: This Agreement shall be executed prior to the approval of Safeway's proposed lot line adjustment which will relocate and reconfigure the north line of Safeway's expanded site and which will consolidate individual parcels into one parcel. City shall convey City-owned parcels to Safeway prior to the approval of the lot line adjustment. 3. Term: This Agreement shall remain in effect until the parties complete their respective obligations stated in this Agreement. 4. Modifications: City or Safeway may, from time to time, request changes in the terms of this Agreement. Such changes, which are mutually agreed upon by and between City and Safeway, and approved by the City Council, shall be incorporated in written amendments to this Agreement. To be effective, all such changes as referred to in this section must be agreed upon in writing by both parties to this Agreement. Page 2 of 4 Agreement Between the City of Ukiah and Safeway, Inc. for the Conveyance of Land In Exchange for Public Improvements 5. Assignment: Safeway shall not assign any interest in this Agreement, and shall not transfer any interest in the same (whether by assignment or novation), without the prior written consent of City. 6. Application of Laws: The parties hereby agree that all applicable Federal, State and local rules, regulations and guidelines not written into this Agreement shall hereby prevail during the period of this Agreement. 7. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Any legal action concerning the agreement must be filed and litigated in the proper court in Mendocino County. 8. Integration: This Agreement contains the entire agreement among the parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral and written agreements, understandings, and representations among the parties.

Currently there are no such spaces in these locations. The Downtown Parking Improvement Program, adopted by Resolution No. 96-24 in 1995, provides direction for parking operation and improvements within the Downtown Parking District. The Plan allows the installation of two twenty-four minute spaces on each side of each block of School Street, with staff approval. The purpose of this provision is to encourage a turnover of parking spaces and meet the needs of businesses catering to customers on a short-term basis. Staff has reviewed the request with the City Engineer and determined there are no circulation impacts that would result from the installation of these spaces in this area. Pursuant to the Parking Plan, staff has approved the business owner's requests and will be coordinating with Public Works for installation. Attached for the Council's review are copies of the Downtown Parking Improvement Program, including page 2, Policy C, defining establishment of time zones within the Parking District.

While the Master Plan identified resources in excess of 1,400 parking spaces in the downtown, it also identified a number of deficiencies in the use of those resources. Collectively, these findings indicate the most efficient and cost-effective method of improving downtown parking is to maximize the utilization of existing resources, while remaining vigilant and responsive to increasing demands resulting from successful revitalization. This finding has become the foundation of the Program, and has led to the formation of the following goals, objectives and Program policies: Proaram Goals Goal 1. Maximize the utilization of existing parking resources. Goal 2. Provide flexibility and creativity in solving the parking problems associated with downtown revitalization. Goal 3. Enhance and diversify the parking scheme in the downtown. Goal 4. Increase pedestrian, bicycle, and mass transit access. Goal 5. Increase off-street parking resources in response to demand from new development and Redevelopment projects. Proc~ram Objectives 0-1. Utilize the existing parking lots for designated dOwntown employee parking. 0-2. Provide Incentives to ensure use of the existing parking lots by employees. 0-3. Enhance Identification of off-street parking lots. 0-4. Establish designated juror parking for the Courthouse. 0-5. Provide alternatives to individual vehicle use through the increase and enhancement of pedestrian, bicycle, and mass transit access, services, and parking facilities in the downtown. Downtown Parkinq Pro_qram Policies Policy A: Business Owner and Employee Parkinn It shall be the primary policy of the Downtown Parking District to ensure employee parking within the downtown core be concentrated off-street whenever possible, and that parking permits be available upon request. Downtown Parking Permits shall be issued on a specific location basis. Permits for off-street spaces may be made available in the areas designated in Exhibit "A." Policy B: Permit and Meter Fees The City Council may from time to time consider, adopt, and/or revise a Fee Schedule for metered and permitted public parking. Said Fee Schedules shall be reviewed by the Council during the annual budget process for the purpose of considering fee adjustments, or at such other times as the Council deems necessary. A volume discount shall be integrated into the adopted Fee Schedule for businesses, organizations, and/or agencies seeking to secure a minimum of six (6) or more parking spaces within the Parking District on an annual basis. Every effort shall be made to research and develop incentives for ridesharing to induce carpooling among downtown employees and shall also be incorporated into the Fee Schedule. Policy C: Time Zones Time zones Within the Parking District are enforced Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. only, and on-street parking within these time zones shall remain unmetered and free to the public during non-enforcement hours. The Parking District may, however, enforce parking regulations, time limits, and/or fees within off-street municipal parking facilities, seven (7) days per week, 24 hours per day in response to increased demand on resources. Parking regulations within each municipal facility shall be so posted and approved by the City Council. The Downtown Master Plan identifies the need for some short-term parking times within the Parking District to meet the specific needs of businesses and create high turnover of parking spaces. Time zones must be balanced to accomplish this goal while not overburdening enforcement and still creating the opportunity for 'browsing" in the downtown. To enhance the availability of parking resources and create turnover for the destination customer, 24 minute spaces shall be established along each block of School Street. The number of spaces so designated shall be determined by business needs and the overall number of spaces available within that block. In no case shall the number of 24-minute spaces exceed two per side of each block. Policy D: Metered Parkinp Metered parking shall be limited to the area of the District east of Pine Street; with the exception of School Street, between Smith and Clay Streets. On-street meters shall provide for up to a five (5) hour maximum, and off-street meters shall provide for a ten (10) hour maximum. This action is to encourage centralized long-term parking off-street. Policy E: Handicapped Parklnp Handicapped parking shall be placed within all municipal parking facilities at a ratio of one handicapped space per 25 standard spaces. On-street handicapped parking shall be provided on School and Main Streets, at the rate of one space per 500 lineal feet of curb frontage. This requirement may be satisfied by the provision of additional spaces within appropriately located municipal lots. Policy F: Parking Resource Improvement~ Parking facility improvements include landscaping and aesthetic upgrades, and the acquisition and the eventual construction of new facilities. Improvements to existing facilities shall be accomplished through the streetscape improvement Program and will include Iow intensity decorative security lights, enhanced pedestrian walkways through the lots, perimeter landscaping, and interior tree planters. All parking lot improvements will be completed in accordance with the Downtown Design Guide. On-street parking resources shall be increased where possible through the elimination of unnecessary loading zones, no parking zones, and the realignment of parallel spaces to diagonal spaces. The Redevelopment Agency will initiate negotiations with applicable property owners along the west side of Main Street for the purpose of securing long term leases on underutilized poorly configured parcels and inaccessible existing private lots. Acquisition of leases on these properties will allow the Agency to improve these properties through consolidation, coordination of circulation, and aesthetics. The net effect will be the creation of additional resources on currently undeveloped and highly underutilized properties, maximizing existing resources, while minimizing large acquisition costs. Policy G: Public Awareness The public awareness Program shall include an active campaign to promote not only identification of facilities but usage as well. City lots are currently identified by signage, however, landscape improvements should provide spotlighting of those signs along with security lighting throughout the lots. Informational flyers and brochures, including maps and type of parking available, shall be developed and distributed to downtown businesses, inserted in local publications, and distributed through utility billings. Workshops with downtown businesses should include counseling employees to promote a positive image of downtown shopping and parking. Policy H: Jury Parking Every effort shall be made to develop and maintain a Program which provides convenient, available, and if possible, complimentary parking for jurors encouraging them to shop and eat in the downtown while on jury duty. A specific Program shall be completed in cooperation with the Jury Commissioner's office and forwarded to the City Council for approval. Policy I: Requirements for New Development Parking requirements for new construction within the Parking District shall be calculated at one space per 350 square feet of net leasable space, eliminating hallways, closets, elevator shafts, restrooms, and mechanical equipment areas from the calculations. An in-lieu parking fee shall be established within the Parking District to assist development of private parcels and provide for future resources. The purpose of these fees is to allow property owners in possession of parcels too small to support development with on-site parking, to "purchase" off-site spaces. By opting for an in-lieu fee, these owners can increase the square footage of a project, making it economically feasible, while funding future improvements to public facilities to offset project impacts. This should facilitate new development on many of the smaller parcels which currently would require a cumbersome, and difficult to attain, variance. Policy J: Bicycle Parking The Downtown Parking Improvement Program provides for the addition of new bike racks strategically placed along downtown streets and within public lots. In addition, the adoption of this Program will provide developers with a. parking requirement exemption for new construction at the rate of three bike spaces per vehicle space, not to exceed the exemption of two (2) spaces per parcel, or 15% of total parking requirement, whichever is greater. Bicycle parking amenities will be incorporated into the landscape and pedestrian areas as well as within municipal lots. Bicycle traffic will be encouraged along all downtown streets. Bike lanes shall be included in future street improvements wherever possible. Policy K: Future Improvements Off-street parking facilities are lacking south of Church Street. This area should be targeted first for future parking expansion. Additional off-street parking may be needed north of Church Street, contingent upon development and/or revitalization of the Palace Hotel and the completion of potential restaurants in this area. Further improvements and increases in resources may include expansions of existing facilities and should be based upon demand created by future projects and the success of the revitalization effort. The Master Plan calls for close monitoring of parking demand, and development of resources in response to increases in that demand. With improvements in the impact of employee parking, the need for additional resources should be assessed at a future date. The City of Uklah and Ukiah Redevelopment Agency shall, in cooperation with the Mendocino Transit Authority, initiate a public transportation Program for the downtown. This Program shall include a designated shuttle service connecting the Redwood Business Park, Perkins Street Shopping District, and the Downtown Shopping District. Every effort shall be made to create this service through a public/private partnership with direct funding being provided through businesses and retailers within the service area. Rider charge to the public for this shuttle service should be complimentary, if possible. Future improvements identified in this Program are intended to ensure greater availability of both on- and off-street parking resources and provide the foundation to meet any increasing demands in accordance with the Downtown Master Plan. Policy L: Administration Parking development, Implementation, and administration of the Parking District will be the responsibility of the Redevelopment Agency in the course of carrying out the responsibilities of the Downtown Master Plan. Enforcement will remain the responsibility of Public Safety and the Redevelopment Agency will coordinate with the Traffic Engineering Committee in parking issues which may result in impacts to traffic circulation. 4.'URA:Parldng "Rev:l 0~4)5 EXHIBIT "A' On-Street Permit Locations dr Oak Street (Between Church & Seminary) 25 100% dr School Street (Seminary to Clay) 5 45% (Henry to Smith) 12 63% Pine Street (Henry to Smith) 5 45% (Smith to Standley) 5 41% (Perkins to Church) 5 41% (Church to Stephenson) 5 45% (Stephenson to Clay) 5 41% Bush Street (Smith to Standley) 10 71% (Standley to Perkins) 5 50% (Perkins to Church) 7 50% dr Seminary (State to School- median) 14 100% postable (School to Oak- median) 14 100% postable (School to Oak - curbside) 9 69% dr Clay Street (West of Oak) 10 50% dr Perkins (Oak to Pine) 4 57% (Pine to Bush) 4 50% dr Standley (Oak to Pine) 7 64% Smith Street (Oak to Pine) 2 40% (Pine to Bush) 4 57% ~ , TOTAL 157 I dr Prime locations to be utilized first I' 1 RESOLUTION NO. 96-24 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAHAPPROVINGAND ADOPTING THE DOWNTOWN PARKING IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WHEREAS, on June 5, 1992, the City Council and the Ukiah 5 Redevelopment Agency adopted the Ukiah Downtown Revitalization Master 6 Plan; and 7 WHEREAS, the Master Plan identifies an inefficient utilization of 8 existing resources and calls for improved management of those resources through the development of a Parking Improvement Program, of which 10 various elements are defined within the Master Plan; and 11 WHEREAS, the Downtown Master Plan Committee has continued to convene 12 and subsequently completed the proposed Downtown Parking Improvement 13 Program, as defined in Exhibit "A" of this document; and 14 WHEREAS, extensive public input from downtown merchants, businessmen, 15 and employees, as well as the City of Ukiah Traffic Engineering 16 Committee, Planning Commission, and general citizenry, has been sought 17 and included in the Program. 18 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that pursuant to directives 19 established in the Downtown Revitalization Master Plan, the City Council 20 does hereby approve and adopt the Downtown Parking Improvement Program. 21 PASSED AND ADOPTED this 18th day of October, 1995, by the following 22 roll call vote' 23 AYES: 24 NOES: ABSENT: 25 26 27 28 Councilmembers Mastin, Malone, Wattenburger, Shoemaker, and Mayor Schneiter.

We would like to request that the City set aside a minimum of two 24 minute parking spaces in front of our store, so that we can remain competitive. Also, we find that because of the increased use of the Conference Center, and lack of long term parking in the area, Saturdays have become a real problem - worse than week days - because there is no parking enforcement at all on Saturdays. We would request that there be enforcement on Saturdays in the immediate area of the Conference Center, even if it is limited to the hours of 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. We don't feel it is a problem throughout the entire downtown area, but just in the two or three blocks adjacent to the Conference Center. We will appreciate it if you can address these concerns, to the mutual benefit of all concerned. Thank you. Very truly yours, Triple S Camera Michael J.

DATE: June 18, 1997 REPORT SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION APPROVING NEGATIVE DECLARATION; ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CITY GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP TO REDESIGNATE 49 PARCELS OF LAND; INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE REZONING THE PARCELS SUMMARY: This General Plan Land Use Map Amendment and Rezoning project is the result of decisions made by the Ukiah City Council during the 1996-97 General Plan City-wide Rezoning Program. The Council determined that the new General Plan Land Use Designations on 48 parcels were inappropriate, because of existing development or incompatible surrounding land uses. Additionally, they concluded that the old Land Use Designations and zoning classifications were equally inappropriate, and directed staff to come back with a General Plan Map Amendment and rezoning project with appropriate designations and zoning classifications for the parcels. The Council provided direction by suggesting new Land Use Designations and Zoning Classifications for the subject parcels. Additionally, during the General Plan rezoning program, Mr. Charles Ruelle approached the Planning Commission and asked if his property on Bush Street could be redesignated and rezoned as a part of the program. The Commission recommended that the City Council not consider the request during that phase of the program, but rather consider it during the final General Plan Amendment and Rezoning "clean-up" program. Accordingly, Mr. Ruelle's request is included in this proposal. (continued on page 2) RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Adopt the CEQA Resolution approving the Negative Declaration; 2) Adopt the Resolution amending the General Plan Land Use Map to redesignate 49 parcels of land; and 3) Introduce the Ordinance rezoning the 49 parcels.

Planning Commission Staff Report, dated May 14, 1997 Planning Commission Minutes, dated May 14, 1997 APPROVED:~ ,~~~_ ~ Candace Horsier, City Manager Planning Commission Action On May 14, 1997, the City Planning Commission conducted a public hearing, and discussed the proposed General Plan Map Amendment and rezoning project. Based upon the analysis contained in the Planning Commission Staff Report (attached), the Commission supported staffs recommendation on all of the properties except the Charles Ruelle parcel. Ruelle Property: Mr. Ruelle is requesting that his Bush Street property adjacent to, and north of Orr Creek be redesignated from LDR (Low Density Residential) to MDR (Medium Density Residential), and rezoned from "R-I" to R-2." The parcel totals approximately 1.4 acres and is developed with 18 rental units, including a small single family residence. This density is inconsistent with the 13,-1 zoning, yet was permitted through past entitlements granted by the City. The property owner is seeking the "MDR" General Plan Land Use Designation and the corresponding "R-2" zoning classification because he wants to add an additional unit to the property. If it is redesignated to "MDR" and rezoned to "R-2", two (2) additional units could be proposed for the site. Under the current General Plan Land Use Designation and zoning, the property is not large enough to add any more units. At the Planning Commission meeting, staff recommended against the redesignation and rezoning because it would create an island of medium density residential land, and the property is essentially built-out. However, the Planning Commission disagreed with staff, and is recommending that the City Council redesignate and rezone the parcel as requested by Mr. Ruelle. They based their recommendation on the finding that the parcel is essentially developed to the "R-2" standard, and the further development of 1 or 2 additional units would not conflict with surrounding land uses or cause a significant change in density on the subject property. While staff does not entirely agree with the Commission's finding, we do not believe that the ramifications of the redesignation and rezoning of the subject parcel are significant enough to recommend against it. Also, redesignating and rezoning the parcel provides opportunity for potentially adding 1 or 2 rental housing units to the City's rental housing stock. Accordingly, staff suD~)orts the Planning Commission's recommendation. CONCLUSIONS: Staff considers this General Plan Amendment and Rezoning project as "housekeeping" in nature. The City Council provided specific direction for the proposed Land Use Designations and Zoning Classifications, and the Planning Commission is recommending adoption of the Resolutions and Ordinance. Staff supports the Commission's recommendation. 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2O 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 RESOLUTION NO. 97- RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH ADOPTING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT FOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND REZONING PROJECT 97-16 WHEREAS, during the 1996-1997 City-wide General Plan rezoning program, the City Council decided not to rezone a number of parcels consistent with the new General Plan Land Use Designations, and directed staff to initiate a General Plan Amendment and Rezoning project; and WHEREAS, the City Council provided further direction by suggesting appropriate Land Use Designations and Zoning Classifications for the Subject parcels; and WHEREAS, the proposed new General Plan Land Use Designations and Zoning Classifications for subject parcels are essentially more restrictive in terms of allowed and permitted uses than the existing General Plan Land Use Designation or existing zoning; and WHEREAS, in the few instances where the newly proposed Land Use Designations and Zoning Classifications would permit a potential intensification of land use, the increase is minor, all infrastructure is available to serve the parcels, and the minor intensification would not adversely impact surrounding properties or the environment; and WHEREAS, based on the analysis and findings contained in the Initial Study, staff is able to conclude that the proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning project would not have a significant adverse effect on the environment; and WHEREAS, based on the conclusions reached in the Initial Study, staff is recommending the adoption of a Negative Declaration for the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning Project; and Resolution No. 97- Page 1 of 2 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2O 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 WHEREAS, on December 11, 1996, the City Planning Commission reviewed, discussed, and approved the Negative Declaration for the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning Project, and is recommending final adoption by the City Council; and WHEREAS, on June 18, 1997, the City Council conducted a public hearing and discussed the Negative Declaration for the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning Project; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds, based upon the conclusions reached in the Initial Study (attached as Exhibit "A"), that the adoption of a Negative Declaration is appropriate for the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning Project.

Associated with this action is a proposal to rezone these parcels consistent with the new Land Use Designation. A comprehensive project description, which includes the exact locations of the subject parcels, as well as their existing uses is included with the Initial Study, on file with the City of Ukiah Planning Department. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING: The project area is characterized as a densely urbanized City setting with a mix of typical land uses, including residential, commercial retail, commercial services, and professional offices. The setting of individual properties recommended for rezoning include both densely developed and vacant land. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: The Initial Study of potential environmental impacts prepared by City staff does not identify any potentially significant environmental impacts resulting from the proposed rezoning project. Topics include earth, air, water, plant & animal life, noise, land use, natural resources, risk of upset, population, housing, transportation, public services, energy, and recreation. FINDINGS SUPPORTING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION: , Based upon the analysis, findings, and conclusions contained in the Initial Study, the project does not have the potential to degrade the quality of the local or regional environment. Based upon the analysis, findings, and in shod-term impacts that will create a Based upon the analysis, findings, and in impacts that are individually limited, conclusions contained in the Initial Study, the project will not result disadvantage to long-term environmental goals. conclusions contained in the Initial Study, the project will not result but cumulatively considerable. Based upon the analysis, findings, and conclusions contained in the Initial Study, the project will not result in environmental impacts which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. Based upon the fact that the majority of the groupings are down-zoning property to reflect existing well maintained development, together with the fact that the subject parcels are relatively small in both number and size, it is found that the actions will not result in significant adverse impacts upon the environment, nor will they result in growth inducement or significant cumulative impacts, and therefore a Negative Declaration is reasonable and appropriate. STATEMENT OF DECLARATION: After appraisal of the possible impacts of this project, the City of Ukiah has determined that there is no substantial evidence that the rezoning project will have a significant effect on the environment, and further, that this Negative Declaration constitutes compliance with the requirements for environmental review and analysis required by the California Environmental Quality Act.

These groupings are analyzed and discussed below: Group #1' Electrical Substations This group only involves two (2) parcels, which are developed with a City of Ukiah electrical substations. The first parcel is situated at the southwest corner of Low Gap Road and Oak Street, and is The General Plan Land Use designation is "C" (Commercial), and it is currently zoned "P-D" (Planned Development). The second parcel is located on the southeast corner of Gobbi Street and Orchard Avenue and is designated "MDR" (Medium Density Residential), and is zoned "P-D." These Land Use Designations and zoning classifications are inappropriate for these important public facility, and therefore it is proposed that the designations be changed to "P" (Public), and they be rezoned from "P-D" (Planned Development) to "P-F" (Public Facility). It is not anticipated that the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning actions could have adverse impacts on the environment for the following reason: a. The parcels are fully developed with electrical substations serving the City of Ukiah. The proposed Land Use Designation and zoning classifications would merely acknowledge the existing development, and would reduce the "redevelopment" opportunities currently enjoyed under the existing Land Use designation and zoning. Group #2: Single Family Residences at Low Gap Road and Pine Street This grouping consists of five (5) parcels developed with single family residences, and zoned "R-I" (Single Family Residential). The General Plan designated them "HDR" (High density Residential) because of their close proximity to existing high density development, the County Government Complex, commercial services, etc. However, both the Planning Commission and City Council concluded that the "MDR" (Medium Density Residential) Land Use Designation was more appropriate because it would provide a transition between existing Iow and high density developments in the area. Therefore, it is proposed that these parcels receive the "MDR" Land Use Designation and corresponding "R-2" zoning classification. It is not anticipated that the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning actions could have adverse impacts on the environment for the following reason: a. The proposed action would essentially "downzone" the property from what was evaluated and assumed in the General Plan and associated EIR, and the potential redevelopment of the parcels 10 would result in less density and intensity of development. Group #3: Vacant land situated in the vicinity of South Dora Street & Beacon Lane This parcel is located adjacent to the east side of the Keegan Medical Office Complex. The General Plan designated the property as "MDR" (Medium Density Residential), and the current zoning is "R-3." During the General Plan rezoning program, the Planning Commission and City Council agreed that because of existing single family residential development to the south and east, the parcel should be rezoned to "R-I" rather than "R-2." Accordingly, it is proposed that the parcel be redesignated "LDR" in the General Plan, and rezoned to "R-I." It is not anticipated that the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning actions could have adverse impacts on the environment for the following reason: a, The proposed action would essentially "downzone" the property from what was evaluated and assumed in the General Plan and associated EIR, and the potential redevelopment of the parcels would result in less density and intensity of development. Group ~4 and #5: Single family residentially developed land on Porzio Lane These seven (7) parcels are designated as "HDR" in the General Plan, and currently zoned "C-1" (Light Commercial) and "C-2" (Highway Commercial/Restricted Industrial). During the General Plan rezoning program, the Planning Commission and City Council concluded that the "MDR" (Medium Density) Land Use Designation and corresponding "R-2" zoning classification were more appropriate because of the close proximity to the airport approach and departure zone. Accordingly, it is proposed that these parcels be redesignated to "MDR" in the General Plan, and rezoned to "R~2." It is not anticipated that the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning actions could have adverse impacts on the environment for the following reason: a, The proposed action would essentially "downzone" the property from what was evaluated and assumed in the General Plan and associated EIR, and the potential redevelopment of the parcels would result in less density and intensity of development. Group #6: 680, 684, 690 Orchard Avenue These three (3) parcels are situated along the west side of Orchard Avenue just north of Gobbi Street, and are developed with professional offices and a single family residence. The General Plan designates them as "HDR," and they are currently zoned "C-N" (Neighborhood Commercial). During the General Plan rezoning program, the Planning Commission and City Council concluded that because of the "C-1" (Light Commercial) zoning along both sides of Orchard Avenue between Gobbi Street and Kings Court, the "C-1" classification makes sense for the subject parcels. Accordingly, it is proposed that these three (3) parcels be redesignated to "C" in the General Plan, and rezoned to "C-1." It is not anticipated that the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning actions could have adverse impacts on the environment for the following reason: Two (2) of the parcels are currently being used as commercial offices, and the third is a small parcel fully developed with a single family residence. They are all located on a High Intensity 11 Development Corridor, as stated in the General Plan, and the parcels to the north, south, and east are zoned for commercial development. Group #7: 511,513, 517, 523, and 611 Oak Street These five (5) parcels are located along the east side of Oak Street between Mill Street and Clay Street, and are developed with single family residences and a small apartment complex. They are currently designated "C" (Commercial) in the General Plan, and zoned "R-3" (General Multiple Residential). The Planning Commission and City Council concluded that these parcels represented "transition" property from the commercial development to .the east and the single family residential development to the west. Therefore they directed that they be redesignated to "MDR" in the General Plan, and rezoned to "R-2." It is not anticipated that the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning actions could have adverse impacts on the environment for the following reason: ao The proposed action would essentially "downzone" the property from what was evaluated and assumed in the General Plan and associated EIR, and the potential redevelopment of the parcels would result in less density and intensity of development. Group #8:857 and 875 Oak Street These two (2) parcels are located along the east side of Oak Street between Gobbi Street and Freitas Avenue, and are developed with a high density apartment complex. They are currently designated as "MDR" in the General Plan, and zoned "C-1." The Planning Commission and City Council concluded that they should be designated according to the existing development because the apartment complex is well maintained and its location meets the General Plan criteria for high density development. Accordingly, it is proposed that these two (2) parcels be redesignated "HDR" in the General Plan, and rezoned to "R-3." It is not anticipated that the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning actions could have adverse impacts on the environment for the following reason: ao The parcels are fully developed with the type of development allowed in the "R-3" zoning district. No further intensity or density of development would be possible under the "R-3" zoning, and the site meets all the General Plan criteria for high density development. Group #9: Cherry Court These 19 parcels are located along both sides of Cherry Court, and are developed with single family residences, a duplex structure, condominiums, and a pre-school/professional office. They are designated as "MDR" in the General Plan, and are currently zoned "C-1." During the General Plan rezoning program, the City Council concluded that because of their close proximity to both their existing land uses and close proximity to commercial land uses, the "C-N" (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning classification was appropriate. Accordingly, it is proposed that the parcels be redesignated to "C" in the General Plan, and rezoned to "C-N." It is not anticipated that the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning actions could have adverse impacts on the environment for the following reason: The overall density and intensity of development allowed or permitted in the "C-N" district is less than allowed or permitted in the "R-2" zoning district. The "C-N" district is intended to provide 12 compatible Iow intensity residential and neighborhood serving commercial land uses, as opposed to the multiple family residential land uses allowed and encouraged in the "R-2" zoning district. Group #10: 155, 165, 175 Luce Avenue These three (3) parcels are located along the south side of Luce Avenue between State Street and South Street, and are developed with two (2) professional offices and a single family residence. They are designated "HDR" in the General Plan, and are currently zoned "C-1." The Planning Commission and City Council concluded that these parcels fit the criteria for the "C-N" (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning district, and therefore directed the redesignation to "C" in the General Plan, and their rezoning to "C-N." It is not anticipated that the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning actions could have adverse impacts on the environment for the following reason: a. The overall density and intensity of development allowed or permitted in the "C-N" district is less than allowed or permitted in the "C-1" or "R-3" zoning districts. The "C-N" district is intended to provide compatible Iow intensity residential and neighborhood serving commercial land uses, as opposed to the medium and high density multiple family residential land uses allowed and encouraged in the "R-2" and "R-3" zoning districts. Group #11: Ruelle Property I 2-111-40, 41 These two (2) parcels are located along Bush Street and North Oak Street, and are fully developed with residential units consistent with the "R=I" zoning. The property is designated as "LDR" in the General Plan and is currently zoned "R-I." This property was not a formal part of the General Plan rezoning program, because its current zoning is consistent with the new General Plan Land Use Designation. However, during the General Plan rezoning program, the property owner approached the Planning Commission and asked if his property could be redesignated and rezoned as a part of the program. The Commission did not suggest that the City Council direct staff to initiate this General Plan Amendment and rezoning, but indicated that they would take a second look during the final General Plan Amendment and Rezoning "clean-up" program. Staff recommends against redesignating and rezoning these parcels for the following reasons: 1. All surrounding zoning is "R-I" 2. The property is essentially built-out DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL CUMULATIVE AND GROWTH INDUCING IMPACTS: The purpose of this discussion is to determine if the General Plan Amendments and Rezonings could foster economic or population growth, or the construction of additional housing, or could result in cumulative long-term impacts. Based upon the fact that the majority of the groupings are down-zoning property to reflect existing well maintained development, together with the fact that the subject parcels are relatively small in both number and size, it is not anticipated that the actions will result in growth inducement or significant cumulative impacts upon the environment. 13 3. CONCLUSIONS: Based upon the discussion, findings and conclusions contained in above text, staff is able to conclude that the proposed General Plan Amendments and associated Rezonings will not have a significant adverse impact upon the environment, and therefore a Negative Declaration is reasonable and appropriate. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE: a. Potential to degrade: Does the project have the potential to 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 species, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? YES [~ NO [~ b. Short Term: Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environments one which occurs in a relatively, brief, definitive period of time. Long-term impacts will endure well into the future). YES [~ NO C. Cumulative: Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect on the total of those impacts on the environment is significant). YES [~ NO 14 d, Substantially Adverse: Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? YES [~ NO $. DETERMINATION: On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described within the initial study have will be incorporated into the design of the project or required by the City of Ukiah. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT shall be required.

The Council determined that the new General Plan Land Use Designations on 48 parcels were inappropriate, because of existing development or incompatible surrounding land uses. Additionally, they concluded that the old Land Use Designations and zoning classifications were equally inappropriate, and directed staff to come back with a General Plan Map Amendment and rezoning project with appropriate designations and zoning classifications for the parcels. Additionally, during the General Plan rezoning program, Mr. Charles Ruelle approached the Planning Commission and asked if his 2 parcels could be redesignated and rezoned as a part of the program. The Commission recommended that the City Council not consider the request during that phase of the program, but rather consider it during the final General Plan Amendment and Rezoning "clean-up" program. Accordingly, it is included in this proposal. This project is quasi-legislative in nature and does not require City Planning Commissioners to visit the site prior to formulating a recommendation to the City Council. PROJECT LOCATION: Generally Citywide DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Department recommends thatthe Planning Commission recommend City Council APPROVAL of the General Plan Map Amendment and associated Rezoning proposal. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: The City of Ukiah, as Lead Agency, has prepared a an Initial Study of the potential environmental impacts associated with this General Plan Amendment and Rezoning project. Based on this study, it has been concluded that the project would not have a significant impact on the environment, and therefore a Negative Declaration is appropriate for the project. GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATIONS: Various ZONING DISTRICTS: Various PROJECT DESCRIPTION' The project involves eleven (11) groupings of properties as depicted in the table below: Assessor Existing and Existing and Parcel Number Location Current Use proposed General Proposed Plan Land Use Zoning Designation Classification 002-072-10 Low Gap Road & Oak Electrical substation C to P Rezone from P-D to 003-181-01 Street / Gobbi Street P-F and Orchard Avenue LDR to P Rezone from R-1 to P-F 1-430-11, 12, Low Gap Road & Single Family HDR to MDR Rezone from R-1 to 13,22,24 Pine Street Residential R-2 3-471-13 South Dora Street & Vacant MDR to LDR Rezone from R-3 to Beacon Lane (vicinity) R-1 3-040-65 through 68 Porzio Lane Single family HDR to MDR Rezone from C-1 to residential R-2 3-040-71 through 73 Porzio Lane Single family HDR to MDR Rezone from C-1 to ~'esidential R-2 2-320-29, 33, 34 680, 684, 690 Single Family Orchard Avenue Residences, HDR to C Rezone from C-N to Professional Office C-1 2-271-2, 4, 6, 8, 10 511, 513, 517, 523, Single Family 611 Oak Street Residences and a C to MDR Rezone from R-3 to small apartment R-2 complex 3-031-20, 38, 43 857 and 875 Oak Apartment complex MDR to HDR Rezone from C-1 to Street R-3 3-050-37, 39, 51, 55, Single family 56, 63, 68, 69, 70 Cherry Court residences, duplex, MDR to C Rezone from C-1 to through 80 condominiums, pre- C-N school 3-074-3, 4, 5 155, 165, 175 Luce Single family Avenue residence and 2 HDR to C Rezone from C-1 to professional offices C-N 2-111-40, 41 747, 749, 751, and 18 residential units on 753 North Bush 1.4 acres * Existing: LDR * Existing R-1 Street; 980 North Oak * MDR proposed by * R-2 proposed by Street the property owner the property · Staff recommends owner retaining LDR * Staff recommends retaining R-1 STAFF ANALYSIS: Group #1: Electrical Substations This group involves two (2) parcels, which are developed with City of Ukiah electrical substations. The first parcel is situated at the southwest corner of Low Gap Road and Oak Street, and is designated "C" (Commercial) in the General Plan. The current zoning is "P-D" (Planned Development), which was apparently assigned in 1982. The second parcel is located on the southeast corner of Gobbi Street and Orchard Avenue and is designated "MDR" (Medium Density Residential). The zoning of this parcel is also "P-D." These Land Use Designations and zoning classifications are inappropriate for these important public facilities, and therefore it is proposed that the General Plan Land Use designations be changed to "P" (Public), and they be rezoned from "P-D" (Planned Development) to "P-F" (Public Facility). Group #2: Single Family Residences at Low Gap Road and Pine Street This grouping consists of five (5) parcels developed with single family residences, and zoned "R-I" (Single Family Residential). The General Plan designated them "HDR" (High density Residential) because of their close proximity to existing high density development, such as the County Government Complex and nearby commercial businesses. However, both the Planning Commission and City Council concluded that the "MDR" (Medium Density Residential) Land Use Designation was more appropriate because it would provide a transition between existing Iow and high density developments in the ar. ea. Therefore, it is proposed that these parcels receive the "MDR" Land Use Designation and the corresponding "R-2" zoning classification. Group #3: Vacant land situated in the vicinity of South Dora Street & Beacon Lane This parcel is located adjacent to the east side of the Keegan Medical Office Complex. The General Plan designated the property as "MDR" (Medium Density Residential), and the current zoning is "R-3." During the General Plan rezoning program, the Planning Commission and City Council agreed that because of existing single family residential development to the south and east, the parcel should be rezoned to "R-I" rather than "R-2." Accordingly, it is proposed that the parcel be redesignated "LDR" in the General Plan, and rezoned to "R-I." Group #4 and #5: Single family residentially developed land on Porzio Lane These seven (7) parcels are designated as "HDR" in the General Plan, and currently zoned "C-1" (Light Commercial) and "C-2" (Highway Commercial/Restricted Industrial). During the General Plan rezoning program, the Planning Commission and City Council concluded that the "MDR" (Medium Density) Land Use Designation and corresponding "R-2" zoning classification were more appropriate because of the close proximity to the airport approach and departure zone. Accordingly, it is proposed that these parcels be redesignated to "MDR" in the General Plan, and rezoned to "R-2." Group #6: 680, 684, 690 Orchard Avenue These three (3) parcels are situated along the west side of Orchard Avenue just north of Gobbi Street, and are developed with professional offices and a single family residence. The General Plan designates them as "HDR," and they are currently zoned "C-N" (Neighborhood Commercial). During the General Plan rezoning program, the Planning Commission and City Council concluded that because of the "C-1" (Light Commercial) zoning along both sides of Orchard Avenue between Gobbi Street and Kings Court, the "C-1" classification makes sense for the subject parcels. Accordingly, it is proposed that these three (3) parcels be redesignated to "C" in the General Plan, and rezoned to "C-1." Group #7:511,513, 517, 523, and 611 Oak Street These five (5) parcels are located along the east side of Oak Street between Mill Street and Clay Street, and are developed with single family residences and a small apartment complex. They are currently designated "C" (Commercial) in the General Plan, and zoned "R-3" (General Multiple Residential). The Planning Commission and City Council concluded that these parcels represented "transition" properties from the commercial development to the east and the single family residential development to the west. Therefore they directed the redesignation of the parcels to "MDR" in the General Plan, and rezoned to "R-2." Group #8:857 and 875 Oak Street These two (2) parcels are located alon~ the east side of Oak Street between Gobbi Street and Freitas Avenue, and are developed with a high density apartment complex. They are currently designated as "MDR" in the General Plan, and zoned "C-1 ." The Planning Commission and City Council concluded that they should be designated according to the existing development because the apartment complex is well maintained and its location meets the General Plan criteria for high density development. Accordingly, it is proposed that these two (2) parcels be redesignated "HDR" in the General Plan, and rezoned to "R-3." Group #9: Cherry Court These 19 parcels are located along both sides of Cherry Court, and are developed with single family residences, a duplex structure, condominiums, and a pre-school/professional office. They are designated as "MDR" in the General Plan, and are currently zoned "C-1." During the General Plan rezoning program, the City Council concluded that because of the close proximity to commercial land uses, and the residential nature of the small neighborhood, the "C-N" (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning classification was appropriate. Accordingly, it is proposed that the parcels be redesignated to "C" in the General Plan, and rezoned to "C-N." Group #10:155, 165, '175 Luce Avenue These three (3) parcels are located along the south side of Luce Avenue between State Street and South Street, and are developed with two (2) professional offices and a single family residence. They are designated "HDR" in the General Plan, and are currently zoned "C-1 ." The Planning Commission and City Council concluded that these parcels fit the criteria for the "C-N" (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning district, and therefore directed the redesignation to "C" in the General Plan, and their rezoning to "C-N." Group #11: Ruelle Property I 2-'111-40, 41 These two (2) parcels are located along Bush Street and North Oak Street, and are fully developed with residential units consistent with the "R-I" zoning. The property is designated as "LDR" in the General Plan and is currently zoned "R-I." This property was not a formal part of the General Plan rezoning program, because its current zoning is consistent with the LDR Land Use Designation. However, during the General Plan rezoning program, the property owner approached the Planning Commission and asked if his property could be redesignated and rezoned as a part of the program. The Commission recommended that the City Council not consider this request during that phase of the program, but rather consider it during the final General Plan Amendment and Rezoning "clean-up" program. The larger (1.4 acre) parcel is developed with 18 rental units, which includes I small single family residence. This density is inconsistent with the R-1 zoning, yet was permitted through past entitlements granted by the City. The property owner is seeking the "MDR" General Plan Land Use Designation and the corresponding R-2 zoning classification because he wants to add an additional unit to the property. Under the current General Plan Land Use Designation and zoning, the property is not large enoug.h to add any more units. The smaller parcel fronting Oak Street is developed with a well maintained single family residence. After careful review of the history of the property, a detailed site investigation, and review of the goals and policies of the new General Plan, Staff recommends against redesignating and rezoning these parcels for the following reasons: . The General Plan Land Use Designations and zoning classifications assigned to surrounding parcels are exclusively "LDR" and "R-I." Assigning the MDR Land Use Designation and R-2 zoning would create an island of medium density residential land in a "sea" of existing Iow density residential parcels. , The property is essentially built-out. The existing development represents a "hybrid" between the "R-I" and R-2" zoning classifications, and is denser than the established single family residential neighborhood surrounding the site. . The location where the property owner would like to build an additional rental unit is situated behind the single family residence on the larger parcel. The small house fronts Bush Street, and at one time was situated on its own parcel of record. The property owner merged the small parcel into the larger property, and now would like to place a rental unit in the back yard of the single family residence. In staff's opinion, this would constitute an "overbuilding" of the property, and would effectively remove the outdoor living area of the single family residence, and therefore is inappropriate. ~ DUPLEXES DRWEWAY 1 f°u"i x s GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY: While staff regards this General Plan Amendment project as "house-keeping" in nature, we did conduct a General Plan consistency analysis to determine if the Land Use Designation changes.and rezonings would invalidate other aspects of the General Plan, or would be inconsistent with the goals and policies of the plan. Based upon the nature of the proposed General Plan Amendment project, we focused our analysis on the Housing, Traffic/Circulation, and Land Use Elements. Housing Element In terms of the Housing Element, the proposed General Plan Amendment project would result in a decrease in HDR, MDR, and LDR designated parcels, and a net increase in commercially designated parcels. The following table contrasts the three residential designations: LAND USE DESIGNATION LDR PARCELS LOST PARCELS GAINED NET DIFFERENCE -1 MDR 23 17 -6 HDR 18 3 -15 * C 6 25 +19 Of these 18 lost HDR parcels, 12 are going to MDR, and 6 are going to C, which potentially allows high density residential development. Vacant Land Survey: The main focus of the Housing Element is on vacant land. Changing the designations from MDR or HDR to LDR on vacant land could jeopardize the important goals for providing opportunities for medium and higher density housing in the City. However, only one (1) of the parcels is vacant, and the vast majority are developed with land uses which conform to the proposed designation and zoning classification. The vacant parcel is currently zoned R-3, and would be rezoned to R-I. The Planning Commission and City Council agreed that because this parcel is essentially surrounded by single family residences, the R-1 zoning makes the most sense. However, this action does represent a minor adverse change to the vacant land survey. Housing Production Goals: The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning project would not adversely affect the housing production goals of the Housing Element, because once again, the focus is on vacant land. In addition, even though a considerable number of developed parcels are being changed from residential to commercial, there is opportunity in the C-1 and C-N zoning districts for residential development. Overall Housing Mix: The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning does not jeopardize the City's ability to provide opportunity for a mix of housing types, because the important vacant land acreages for MDR and HDR land would not be changed. Additionally, by redesignating a number of parcels to the commercial designation, and rezoning them to C-N, provides opportunity for mixed residential and commercial land uses in strategic portions of the community. Conclusions: For the reasons listed.above, it is staff's conclusion that this General Plan Amendment and Rezoning project, as directed by the City Council, does not invalidate or jeopardize the integrity of the Housing Element. Circulation & Transportation Element One of the primary policies of the Circulation/Transportation Element is to ensure that dense, high intensity development occur along High Intensity Development Corridors and streets capable of handling the associated traffic loads. Accordingly, staff evaluated the proposed Land Use Designation changes and Rezonings to determine if existing high intensity development was located appropriately in terms of the City street system. The majority of parcels with Land Use Designation changes involving the assignment of a higher intensity designation are located on major streets, such as Orchard Avenue, and Oak Street. Others involve parcels situated on smaller streets in very close proximity to major roadways, such as Cherry Court and Luce Avenue. In all cases, the parcels are currently developed with commercial or medium density residential land uses. Staff is able to conclude that the proposed Land Use Designation changes are consistent with the goals and policies of the Circulation/Transportation Element. Land Use Element The Land Use Element requires that Land Use Designations be assigned according to the goals and policies of the entire plan. Generally, the guiding factors used to assign designations, along with the various goals and policies of the plan include 1) development constraints, such as slopes, noise contours, and floodplains; 2) resources, such as riparian corridors and agricultural lands; and 3) infrastructure, such as sewer and water service, fire protection, and roadway capacity. These factors create siting criteria and characteristics that are used to fine tune the allocation of land uses in the plan. Staff reviewed the existing land uses on the subject parcels in terms of the siting criteria and characteristics, and has determined that the proposed land use designations are in conformance, and therefore the proposal is consistent with the land patterning policies of the Land Use Element. We also found no inconsistencies between the proposed Land Use Designations and the Non- Conforming Land Use section of the Land Use Element. The majority of changes are the result of "mistakes" in the land patterning, rather than concerted efforts to phase-out specific land uses. Staff is able to conclude that the proposed Land Use Designation changes are consistent with the purpose, goals, and policies of the Land Use Element. CONCLUSIONS: The newly adopted City General Plan provides new Land Use Designations for a number of properties in the community. However, during the Citywide rezoning program, the City Council determined that both the old and new de.signations were inappropriate, and directed this General Plan amendment and rezoning project to assign new Land Use Designations and zoning classifications on the parcels. Based on a detailed analysis, staff has determined that the new Land Use Designations and zoning classifications would not invalidate or cause inconsistencies in the goals and policies of the General Plan. Based upon the surrounding land uses, and existing development on the Ruelle property, staff has concluded that the parcel is effectively built-out, and that assigning a Land Use Designation and zoning classification that would permit additional density would be inappropriate and out of character with the surrounding neighborhood.

J pROJECT REVIEW General Plan Amendment/Rezoning No, ~)7-16, as initiated by the City Planning Department. This proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning project involves .changing the General Plan Land Use Designatior~ end zo.ni.n.g on 50 parcels as directed by the City Council during the 1996-97 Citywide General Plan Rezoning Program. During that process, the City Council determined that both the previous ~nd new General Plan Land Use Designations, ~8 well as the current zoning, were ina_Dpro_Driat~- for the subject parcels. They directed steff to initiate a _Dro_iect to change the Land U8~ Designations and zoning classifications. Senior Planner Stump reported that during the rezoning program for the General Plan over the last year, the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council that they not rezone certain properties according to the new General Plan use designation, but suggested the General Plan be amended at the end of the program and the properties be rezoned at that time. The Council agreed, and therefore this is a project that is returning to the Commission, Both the new and the old General Plan land use designations and zonings were unacceptable to the Council and the Commission. This recommendation is a~ attempt to satisfy the direction of the Council for applying General Plan designations and rezonings to properties consistent with the thought process of the Council and the Commission. There are 48 parcels recommended for action; however, one property owner, Charles Ruelle, sought to include his property in the original rezoning action. Staff advised the Commission that Mr. Ruelle's property was presently consistent with the zoning and land use designation, so therefore was not a topic for those proceedings. However, the Commission did suggest that Mr. Ruelle be allowed to have his request considered during this process. The property encompasses one and a half acres on Bush Street, near the creek, and contains 18 units. He is requesting that it be redesignated from Iow density residential to medium density residential, and that the zoning be changed from R-1 to R-2, which would allow two additional units; however, it is his desire to construct only one additional unit. Staff believes the property is essentially built out, and even though technically one unit could be placed at that location, staff feels that to stay consistent with the flavor of the neighborhood, the desires of the General Plan Steering Committee, and the Planning Commission and City Council during the General Plan process, the Iow density, residential designation and R-1 zoning are the most appropriate and should be retained. Discussion followed wherein Mr. Stump reviewed what had transpired during the past year's rezoning process, and clarified that Mr. Ruelle would be adding one single-story unit behind the existing house, thus eliminating its yard space and increasing the density of the site. During the General Plan process, the steering committee felt that any additional density in that area MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION Page 4 May 14, 1997 would begin to erode the single family residential flavor of the neighborhood, and that although the City had previously granted variances for increased density in the R-1 zone, it was no longer legal to do so. They determined the current density was adequate given the nature of the neighborhood on the property's surrounding sides. Chairman Pruden suggested the Commission discuss Mr. Ruelle' General Plan Rezoning Amendment. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED: 7:35 p.m. s request separate from the Charlie Ruelle, 980 North Oak, property owner, presented a drawing illustrating his plans for the site, including remodeling the western unit, constructing a new car port, installing a new driveway and storeroom, enlarging and fencing the back yard, and planting of Cedrus Deodora trees along the northern wall behind the apartments to provide a buffer zone for privacy between the R-1 and R-2 units. Discussion followed during which the Commissioners consulted the large display maps to clarify which area Mr. Ruelle was requesting be rezoned to R-2. It was determined that, although staff's opening discussion referred to two parcels, the rezoning was being requested for the one parcel upon which the 15 rental units and house are located. Mr. Ruelle clarified that initially he did request the rezoning extend to Oak Street; however, he came to believe that would be too abrupt a change and thus would be content with the rezoning of only the 1.4 acres to R-2. Discussion followed wherein it was determined that Mr. Ruelle amended his request to consider only the one parcel for R-2 designation, and that the staff report should be amended to reflect such to provide Council with the accurate information. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED: 7:47 p.m. Commissioner Larson asked if this clarification would have any effect on staff's recommendations regarding the rezoning. Mr. Stump replied it would not. Discussion followed regarding staff's rationale against rezoning the Ruelle property and the creation of an island of medium density residential land among existing Iow density residential parcels. It was noted that "spot zoning" had been approved in previous hearings, and islands such as R-1 allowed in commercial zones. Further discussion followed regarding past variances and actions relative to rezoning. Mr. Stump stated the Planning Commission and City Council have not always decided to zone property according to what is located on it. Part of the philosophy behind the General Plan is to look at land use patterning and make changes where changes should occur and evolve a property into what it should be instead of what it is today. In this case Mr. Ruelle's property has been zoned R-l, but based on past City actions, has been built to a denser degree. Giving it an R-2 designation would allow potential increased density on the property. MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION Page .6 May 14, 1997 Chairman Pruden commented that the Ruelles are superb property owners and it is difficult to refuse their request. However, her concern is that 20 years from now they may not own this property, and that giving 1.4 acres an R-2 designation could create future problems in the neighborhood relative to the increased density. She stated that she agrees with staff's findings that the current density works well and provides a nice housing project. Commissioner Correll stated he agreed that the Ruelles were good owners, and has observed the fine quality of their other properties around town. Although he, too, has concerns relative to the density 20 years in the future, he felt that a poor steward of the property would make the units look bad regardless of whether it was zoned R-1 or R-2, and that it should be zoned R-2 because it was already built to that density. Commissioner Larson stated it was his opinion that making the area an R-2 would not significantly increase the density or create problems. The problems are created by bad ownership and lack of responsibility and maintenance of the property. People who do not want to maintain their property find ways around any conditions the Planning Commission may set. Although he is not strong on R-2 zoning, he sees no reason why the zoning should not reflect what is actually happening there, and therefore supports the change to R-2. Commissioner Puser stated she agreed with Commissioner Larson, although she also shares Chairman Pruden's concerns, but that she would support the change to an R-2 zoning. ON A MOTION by Commissioner Larson, seconded by Commissioner Puser, it was carried by the following roll call vote, to recommend to the City Council the adoption of the Negative Declaration for the Citywide General Plan Amendment #2/Rezoning (97-16).

PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED: 8:07 p.m. MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION Page 6 May 14, 1997 Commissioner Larson inquired regarding the electrical substations, and if there was any possibility they could come under the ownership of another utility company should the City give up the electric business. Mr. Stump replied the substations could be sold to another company in the same way the City could sell any of its properties, and that there are various properties with the public land use designation that could be considered for rezoning in the future. He commented that the substation located on Low Gap Road was going to be scaled down to use for City electrical purposes, and that there was no intention to sell the property at this time. Commissioner Correll commented that a widening process was scheduled to occur on Low Gap Road down to State Street, and that all of the phone cabling had been moved underground since the City had indicated they were going to widen the intersection to accommodate the Orchard Avenue extension. Discussion followed relative to public district zoning.

The Chamber's volunteer board of directors represents over 500 businesses employing thousands in the greater Ukiah area. Funding request for Tourism, Relocation and Economic Development: $19,000.00 The City of Ukiah has historically invested in this effort by providing funding to support specific efforts of the Chamber. The Chamber needs the City of Ukiah's continued support so that we can continue to provide benefits to the city residents, the general community and area visitors that reach beyond the needs of our members. These areas include our efforts to promote tourism, relocation and economic development. We would like you continue your support at the current level. The Chamber has historically kept track of the following: 1. Walk in traffic requesting information. 2. Written inquiries which request for various information and publications. 3. Telephone calls that request various verbal information as well as print materials. In the past 12 months the Chamber has served the following inquiries: Written inquiry: 2,153 Walk-in visitors/tourists: 8,092 Telephone inquiries: 20,763 Total served 31,008 It costs an estimated $1.50 to $15.00 per contact in materials, staff time, postage and overhead costs to fulfill each request. Based upon the contacts during the fiscal year 1996-97, the City contribution was $0.63 per contact. Your funding helps to allow us to continue to provide this service for residents and visitors. The small investment we are requesting will provide returns to the City in sales and bed tax dollars many times over. The Chamber's efforts in tourism support, relocation support, the annual Fourth of July Celebration, community promotion and economic development ensure that the Ukiah Area will continue to be seen by it's residents and others as a premier place to visit, live & do business. The Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce has worked well with the City of Ukiah and we look forward to continuing this public/private partnership. Sincerely/j/ ?

DATE: June 18, 1997 REPORT SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY AIR QUALITY MITIGATION POLICY FOR DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS SUMMARY: In response to concerns expressed by the Mendocino County Air Quality Management District (MCAQMD) and other interested parties regarding the potential cumulative effect that development projects have on local air quality, staff has prepared a Resolution establishing a temporary air quality impact mitigation policy. The proposed policy directs the City to attempt to comprehensively mitigate all identified air quality impacts resulting from development projects with the goal of maintaining and enhancing local air quality. It includes a Table of Air Quality Mitigation Measures that can be applied to projects, depending on their size and scope. The policy is intended to be applied to all discretionary development projects as an interim measure until the MCAQMD completes a comprehensive Air Quality Mitigation Plan for the local air basin. The MCAQMD has indicated that a Request For Proposals (RFP) is being prepared for the first phase of the plan, which could be completed, and advanced for consideration by the County Board of Supervisors this year. Attached for the Council's use is a Glossary of Air Quality Terms, prepared by staff to assist the Council in understanding the commonly used complex terms and phrases associated with air quality issues. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution establishing a temporary air quality mitigation policy for development projects. ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTION: 1. Do not adopt the Resolution, and provide direction to staff.

The project shall provide a development pattern that discourages auto-oriented uses in areas adjacent to bus stops and other transit facilities. 30. The project shall provide for an on-site child care facility. 31. 32. NOTE: The project shall provide a development pattern that encourages pedestrian and bicycle use by providing paths and building access which are physically separated from street and parking lot traffic and that eliminates physical barriers such as walls, berms, landscaping,and slopes that impede the use by pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transportation vehicles. The project shall provide shower/locker facilities, where appropriate, for bicycling and pedestrian commuters. Other comparable and legal mitigation measures may be used in lieu of or in conjunction with the measures listed above. Where additional measures are contemplated, they must be reviewed and approved for use by the City Planning Department in consultation with the Mendocino County Air Quality Management District. Resolution No. 97- Page 4 of 4 GLOSSARY OF AIR QUALITY TERMS Any discussion of air pollution issues requires an understanding of terms that have a technical meaning. The following Glossary of Air Quality Terms provides definitions of the most commonly used air quality/air pollution terms. 1. Air Toxics. Any air pollutant for which a national ambient air quality standard does not exist (i.e. excluding ozone, carbon monoxide, PM-10, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide) that may be reasonably anticipated to cause cancer, developmental effects, reproductive dysfunctions, neurological disorders, heritable gene mutations or other serious or irreversible chronic or acute health effects in humans. 2. Ambient Air Quality. The atmospheric concentration (amount in a specified volume of air) of a specific compound as actually experienced at a particular geographic location that may be some distance from the source of the relevant pollutant emissions. The ambient air quality levels actually measured at a particular location are determined by three (3) major factors: 1) the types, amounts, and locations of pollutants emitted into the atmosphere; 2) the physical processes (meteorology) affecting the distribution, dilution, and removal of these pollutants; and 3) any chemical reactions that transform pollutant emissions into other chemical substances. 3. Area Source. The agglomeration of many air pollutant sources that have Iow emission rates spread over a large area which are too numerous to treat individually. An example of this would be a parking lot. 4. Attainment Area. An area considered to have air quality as good as or better than the National Ambient Air Quality Standard as defined in the Clean Air Act. An area may be an attainment are for one pollutant and a non-attainment area for others. 5. Best Available Control Measure (BACM). A term referring to the "best" measures (according to EPA guidance) for controlling small or dispersed sources of particulate matter, such as roadway dust, woodstoves, and open burning. 6. Best Available Control Technology (BACT). The most stringent emission limit or control technique that has been achieved in practice that is applicable to a particular emission source. 7. Carbon Monoxide. A colorless, odorless gas, formed by the incomplete combustion of fuels, which is toxic because of its tendency to reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. 8. Cumulative Impact. As defined by CEQA, cumulative impacts refers to two or more individual effects which, when considered together, are considerable or which compound or increase other environmental impacts. The individual effects may be changes resulting from a single project or a number of separate projects. The cumulative impact from several projects is the change in the environment which results from the incremental impact of the project when added to other closely related past, present, and reasonable foreseeable probable future projects. Cumulative impacts can result from individually minor but collectively significant projects taking place over a period of time. 9. Emission Factor. The rate at which pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere by one source or a combination of sources. 10. Greenhouse Effect. A term used to describe the warming of the earth's atmosphere due to accumulated carbon dioxide and other gases in the upper atmosphere. These gases absorb energy radiated from the earth's surface, "trapping' it in the same manner as glass in a greenhouse traps heat. 11. Hydrocarbons (HC). These gases represent unburned and wasted fuel. They come from incomplete combustion of gasoline and from evaporation of petroleum fuels. 13. Indirect Source. Any structure or installation which attracts an activity which creates emissions of pollutants. For example, a major employment center, a shopping center, an airport, or a stadium can all be considered to be indirect sources. 14. Inversion. Temperature inversions limit the amount of vertical mixing of air and thus trap pollutants in the lower atmosphere where people breathe. Inversions are characterized by a layer of warmer air above a layer of cooler air, a reversal of the normal decline in temperature with increasing altitude. 15. Nitrogen Dioxide (NO=). A reddish brown gas that is a byproduct of the combustion process and is a key to the ozone production process. 16. Nitrogen Oxides (NOx). Chemical compounds containing nitrogen and oxygen; reacts with volatile organic compounds, in the presence of heat and sunlight to from ozone. It is also a major precursor to acid rain. nationwide, approximately 45 percent of NOx emissions come from mobile sources, 35 percent from electric utilities, and 15 percent from industrial fuel combustion. NOTE: The terms "nitrogen oxides" and "oxides of nitrogen" are often used interchangeably to refer to the combination of nitric oxide (designated by the chemical symbol NO) and nitrogen dioxide (designated by the chemical symbol NO2). This combination of nitrogen oxides is often designated by the symbol NOx. Occasionally, some additional nitrogen compounds are accounted for in the NOx measurements or estimates. There are, in fact, seven different oxides of nitrogen, although the terms "nitrogen oxides", "oxides of nitrogen", and NOx generally refer only to the combination of NO and NO2. 17. Non-point Source. A pollutant source introduced from dispersed points and lacking a single, identifiable origin. An examples is automobile emissions. 18. Oxidant. The production of photochemical reactions in the atmosphere between reactive organic gases and oxides of nitrogen. 19. Ozone. A compound consisting of three oxygen atoms, that is the primary constituent of smog. It is formed through chemical reactions in the atmosphere involving volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, and sunlight. Ozone can initiate damage to the lungs as well as to trees, crops, and materials. There is a natural layer of ozone in the atmosphere which shields the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. 20. PM-10. The current standard for measuring the amount of solid or liquid matter suspended in the atmosphere ("particulate matter including dust"). Refers to the amount of particulate matter over 10 microns in diameter. The smaller PM-10 particulates penetrate to the deeper portion of the lung, affecting sensitive population groups such as children and people with respiratory diseases. 21. Plume. The volume of air containing any of the substance emitted from a point source. 22. Point Source. A source of pollutants which may be traced to a discrete point of emission. 23. Pollutant Emissions. The amount (usually stated as a weight) of one or more specific compounds introduced into the atmosphere by a source or group of sources. In practice, most pollutant emissions data are presented as "emission rates" (amount of pollutants emitted during a particular period of time). 24. Precursor. A chemical compound that leads to the formation of a pollutant, reactive organic gases and nitrogen oxides are precursors of photochemical smog. NOTE: Organic compound precursors of ozone are routinely described by a number of variations on three terms: hydrocarbons (HC) organic gases (OG), and organic compounds (OC). These three basic terms are often modified by adjectives such as total, reactive, or volatile. The result is a rather confusing array of acronyms: HC (hydrocarbons), THC (total hydrocarbons), RHC (reactive hydrocarbons), TOG (total organic gases), ROG (reactive organic gases), TOC (total organic compounds), ROC (reactive organic compounds), and VOC (volatile organic compounds). An additional term, NMHC (nonmethane hydrocarbons), is also used on occasion. It is important to know that HC, RHC, ROG, ROC, VOC, and NMHC imply a grouping of chemicals limited to those that play a meaningful role in smog photochemistry. The phrase "reactive organic compounds" (ROC) is often the most accurate ozone precursor terminology. 25. Reactive Organic Gases (ROG). Classes of hydrocarbons (olefins, substituted aromatics, and aldehydes) that are likely to react with ozone and nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere to form photochemical smog. 26. Sensitive Receptors. Members of the population who are most sensitive to air quality include children, the elderly, the acutely ill, and the chronically ill. 27. Stationary Source. A source of air pollution that is not mobile, such as a heating plant or an exhaust stack from a laboratory. 28. Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). A heavy, pungent, colorless air pollutant formed primarily by the combustion of fossil fuels. It is a raspatory irritant, especially for asthmatics and is the major precursor to the formation of acid rain. 29. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). A group of chemicals that react in the atmosphere with nitrogen oxides in the presence of heat and sunlight to form ozone: does not include methane and other compounds determined by the EPA to have negligible photochemical reactivity. Examples of VOC's include gasoline fumes and oil based paints. 0 U 0 :~ U 0 ! U 0 c- O U J~ 0 U
