GENERAL PLAN ]:MPLEMENTATI'ON
2003-2004 Attachment ~
There are nearly 500 implementation measures contained in the Ukiah General Plan. While some
are project specific like establishing Creek Master Plans, many are implemented on a daily basis and
are considered ongoing and routine. Many of the ongoing and routine implementation measures
pertain to and provide direction for the review of development proposals. For example, OC-22. l(a),
states, "When reviewing proposals for development, require that all valley oaks on the project be
identified, and ensure that all reasonable efforts have been made to protect the trees." Planning
Staff accomplishes this as a routine task when reviewing proposed development projects.
Specific Implementation projects that we have been working on over the past year include:
1. The Sign regulation revisions
2. The Hillside zoning regulation revisions
3. The Doolin Creek Habitat Enhancement and Public Access Plan
GENERAL PLAN :I:MPLEMENTAT]:ON
2004-200S
Staff will continue to implement the routine and ongoing implementation measures during
development proposal review and as otherwise directed in the General Plan. Staff anticipates
completing the revisions to the Sign and Hillside regulations, and adoption of the Doolin Creek Study
early in 2005. The major project specific implementation measure Staff recommends for the 2004-
2005 fiscal year is to begin implementation of the newly adopted Housing Element.
1. Completion of the Sign regulation revisions
2. Completion of the Hillside zoning regulation revisions
3. Completion of the Doolin Creek Habitat Enhancement and Public Access Study
4. Implementation of Housing Element
- Zoning Ordinance revisions to facilitate infill and mixed-use development
- Inclusionary Housing Ordinance
