RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF UKIAH ESTABLISH A
POLICY REGULATING THE USE OF
HANGARS LEASED AT THE MUNICIPAL
AIRPORT
WHEREAS,
1. At the Ukiah Municipal Airport the City leases airport hangars and land which upon
which the lessee is required to construct and use a hangar; and
2. A standard provision in said leases requires the lessee to use the hangar exclusively
for the storage of aircraft and related purposes; and
3. Airport hangars are commonly used for the storage of aircraft and other personal
property; and
4. The City Council has determined that the use of hangars for the storage of such items
as cars and boats do not conflict with the aviation uses of the airport or the interests of the City or
its citizens as long as hangars are used for the storage of aircraft as the principal use; and
5. In order to provide a workable policy regulating the use of leased hangars at the
airport that is applied even handedly to all lessees and meets the reasonable needs of the lessees
and promotes the principal use of the airport for aviation related uses;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council adopts the following
policy governing the use of leased hangars at the municipal airport:
1. Nothwithstanding any more restrictive provision in an airport lease which was
effective on or before the date this resolution is adopted, the following rules shall govern the use
of airport hangars leased from the City and airport hangars constructed by lessees on property
leased from the City:
A. The lessee must use the hangar for the storage of aircraft. Storage of aircraft
means that not less than one fixed wing airplane or helicopter is regularly housed in the hangar
when the aircraft is not in use. If no aircraft is stored in the hangar for a continuous period of ten
days without the prior approval of the airport manager, the City may assume that the hangar is
not being used for the storage of aircraft and that the lessee is in violation of this policy.
B. As long as the hangar is used for the storage of aircraft, a lessee may store
other personal property in the hangar such as, but not limited to, boats and cars, in addition to,
tools and equipment which are related to the storage, maintenance, repair, modification or
assembly of aircraft.
C. A lessee may not store or permit the storage of property on the grounds
outside the hangar. However, this prohibition shall not prohibit a lessee from parking vehicles or
aircraft on the grounds outside the hangar or permitting such use of the grounds outside the
hangar as long as:
(1) Any motor vehicles are operable and not parked for more than 48
continuous hours in any seven day period without the prior approval of the airport manager; and
(2) No other personal property, except aircraft, are kept on the grounds
outside the hangar for more than 24 continuous hours in any fourteen day period.
2. This policy only relates to lease provisions governing the permitted use of hangars and
does not affect any other provision of the lease, including, but not limited to, provisions
addressing, improvements and modifications, maintenance and repair, storage of toxic
substances, permits, compliance with laws, and utilities.
3. Any lease at the municipal airport of a hangar or land on which the lessee is required
to construct and use a hangar shall contain provisions which are consistent with this policy,
unless the City Council specifically approves more restrictive provisions in a particular lease.
