POLICY RESOLUTION NO. 19
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF UKIAH REGARDING PREZONING OF AGRICULTURAL
AREAS WITHIN THE SPHERE OF INFLUENCE
WHEREAS, the Local Agency Formation Commission of Mendocino County
has adopted the Sphere of Influence for the City of Ukiah which extends
from Highway 20 on the north, to Boonville Road on the south and from
ridge to ridge, east to west, and
WHEREAS, properties with active agricultural operations are located
within the City's Sphere of Influence, and
WHEREAS, the City of Ukiah desires to ensure proper Planning and
Zoning within the Sphere of Influence through General Plan and Prezoning,
and
WHEREAS, the Mendocino County Farm Bureau has stated that urban
services are not currently required for agriculture production properties
and it does not believe such areas need to be prezoned, and
WHEREAS, the City of Ukiah is committed to the preservation of
agriculture within its Sphere of Influence and respects the position of
the Mendocino County Farm Bureau.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that:
1) agriculturally zoned properties south of Gobbi Street within the Sphere
of Influence as crosshatched on Exhibit "A" shall not be prezoned by the
City of Ukiah, and
2) the City concurs with the position of the Farm Bureau that if such
agriculturally zoned parcels cease viable agriculture operations,
non-agricultural development shall not take place until such time as the
property is annexed to the City of Ukiah, and
3) the City agrees to initiate proceedings for implementation of buffer
zones, as currently exist in the County, to protect agricultural
operations contiguous to proposed development, and
