ADDENDUM
Ukiah Municipal Airport Master Plan Report
The following specific changes to the July 1995 draft of the Ukiah Municipal Airport Master
Plan Report are proposed. Additional minor grammatical clarifications and correction of
typographic errors will be accomplished prior to printing of the final report.
Page 2-7— Delete heading and paragraph relating to Runway Width.
Page 5-11— Replace the last paragraph `Accordingly, . . . is next reconstructed."with the
following.
Airport user and City input strongly supports the maintenance of the runway
at its existing 150-foot width. Accordingly, the Airport Layout Plan depicts
the existing and future width of Runway 15-33 at 150 feet.
Page 7-9— Replace second and third paragraphs with the following, and delete adjacent
sidebar:
The City of Ukiah adopted a new General Plan on December 6, 1995. Work
on the Airport Master Plan has been accomplished simultaneously with
preparation of the new General Plan. Coordination was maintained during
the two planning efforts and the two documents are,with minor exceptions,
consistent. The following paragraphs highlight portions of the General Plan
which address airport-related concerns. Airport-related matters for which
amendment of the General Plan is recommended are listed on page 7-28. [As
added by this Addendum.]
Page 7-9— Fourth paragraph, modify as follows:
Delete fifth and sixth sentences, ". . . The plan calls . . . and industrial
uses. . ."
Modify seventh sentence to begin: "Most expansion of. . ."
Add sidebar entitled"Ukiah General Plan Residential Land Use Densities"
and listing the following:
Rural Residential <1 du/ac
Low Density 1-6 du/ac
Medium Density 1-14 du/ac
High Density 1-28 du/ac

Page 7-9— Fifth paragraph, replace with the following.-

ollowing:• Airport Element—This element of the General Plan focuses on the
role of the Ukiah Municipal Airport and the land use compatibility is-
sues associated with the airport's operations. No specific recommen-
dations regarding future development of the airport are made. Land
use compatibility policies are also kept in general terms,with the
emphasis instead being placed on future adoption of an Airport Over-
lay Zone which would set forth detailed compatibility criteria.
Page 7-12— Table 7A, modify as follows:
Change subtitle from "Ukiah Municipal Airport" to "Mendocino County
ALUC."
Below"Source" on second page of table, add: "Note: The criteria listed in
this table are the Countywide policies adopted by the Mendocino County
Airport Land Use Commission. Recommended modifications specifically
applicable to Ukiah Municipal Airport are discussed on Page 7-32."
Page 7-21 — Paragraph beginning `Although these. . .;fifth line should read:
. . . change to the extent that it unnecessarily creates . . .
Page 7-24— First full paragraph, replace second sentence with the following:
. . . City limits. The new Ukiah General Plan does not propose annexation in
this area. City acquisition of approach protection easements on this property,
as proposed in this Master Plan,would not necessitate annexation. However,
if negotiations with property owners results fee title rather than easement
acquisition of any of the parcels, then city annexation of those parcels would
be appropriate.
Page 7-28— "Land Use Designation"section, add third paragraph as follows:
. . . uses to the south.
The adoption of an Airport Overlay Zone as proposed in the new Ukiah Gen-
eral Plan is capable of largely eliminating this latter concern. The underlying
land use designations should nevertheless be modified in the area bordering
the north end of the Runway 15 Runway Protection Zone. A commercial or
industrial designation should be shown on the General Plan Land Use Map in
place of the present medium- and high-density residential designations. The
General Plan also should reflect the proposed City acquisition of approach
protection easements within and adjacent to both RPZs.

Figure 7J— Following page 7-32, modify as follows:
[Note: This revision supersedes the change proposed in the May 1, 1996
Addendum.]
Change the B2 zone east of the runway to a B1 zone.
Page 7-33— Replace first paragraph with the following:
[Note: This revision supersedes the changes proposed in the May 1, 1996,
Addendum. Also, the previously proposed change to the second paragraph is
no longer necessary.]
– The B2 zone north of the Airport largely encompasses existing devel-
opment. Some vacant land remains, however, and redevelopment of
other parcels is anticipated. The Infill policy (policy 2.1.6) of the
county-wide Compatibility Plan is applicable to the entirety of this B2
zone. This policy allows new development of a similar intensity to that
of surrounding, already existing, uses.
A survey of the area has been conducted to determine the current
types and intensity of uses. The following limits on future develop-
ment of this zone are set accordingly:
(1) New residential development is discouraged in this zone.
However,where such development is considered the best land
use for a particular parcel with regard to general city planning
factors, high-density, multi-family residential development
shall—because of its lower sensitivity to noise compared to
single-family residential uses—be deemed normally accept-
able. Any new multi-family residential development shall not
exceed 28 dwelling units per acre. Also, any proposed multi-
family development on a parcel of more than 4 acres shall
maintain a minimum of 30% open space (including major
landscaping areas, non-enclosed autombile parking lots and
driveways, and a share of adjacent streets). New single-family
residential uses shall continue to be regarded as normally
unacceptable.
..........Sidebar for above paragraph:
Note that using the standard multiplier of 1.92 people per multi-family
residence as prescribed by the California Housing and Community
Development Department, the 28 dwelling-units-per-acre density
equates to a maximum of 54 people per acre.
(2) Non-residential uses shall not exceed 90 people per acre.
(3) Routinely occupied portions of buildings shall not exceed two
stories in height (equipment rooms, etc., are exempt).
3
(4) Restaurants and motels are acceptable uses in the B2 infill
zone provided that they do not exceed the above two criteria.
(5) An existing school or hospital located within the B2 infill zone
may be expanded provided that the buildings are single-story
and the use does not exceed an intensity of 60 people per
acre.
– An existing school or hospital located within the C zone may be
expanded provided that the buildings are single-story and the use does
not exceed an intensity of 60 people per acre. [Note: intensities of up
to 150 people per acre are allowed for other uses in the C zone.]
Page H-12—Add the following as the second paragraph of Item 3e:
Four underground storage tanks were removed from the subject site (see Fig-
ure H1) on November 9, 1989, and petroleum hydrocarbon contamination
was discovered in the soil and groundwater. Eight monitoring wells were in-
stalled and the site is currently under strict monitoring by the California Re-
gional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The site is under directives
from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCG) to in-
vestigate and clean up a previously documented petroleum hydrocarbon re-
lease. Any monitoring well(s) damaged or destroyed during construction will
require repair or replacement. If any petroleum hydrocarbons are detected
during subsequent work or monitoring well(s) damaged, please notify Marti
Lyon at the RWQCB at (707) 576-2220 and George Hynek at the Mendocino
County Environmental Health Department at (707)463-4466 as soon as pos-
sible.
