The 1996 plan was based upon the development proposals provided in the 1996 Ukiah Municipal Airport Master Plan, a plan which no longer fully reflects the city’s planning for the airport, including the 2015 Airport Layout Plan. The MCACLUP also predates the latest guidance provided by Caltrans in the 2011 California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook. The planning effort to prepare an updated compatibility plan for the Ukiah Municipal Airport was initiated by the City of Ukiah with support from the County of Mendocino and the Mendocino County Airport Land Use Commission. As part of the update process, the City of Ukiah and County of Mendocino desire to present the draft Ukiah Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (UKIALUCP) to both the City and County Planning Commissions at a joint meeting for a recommendation to the ALUC regarding the UKIALUCP. Discussion: Given this joint approach to preparation of the UKIALUCP between the County, City, and ALUC, content for the July 16, 2020 joint Ukiah and Mendocino County Planning Commissions meeting has been posted on the County’s website at the below link. A separate resolution of the Ukiah Planning Commission making a recommendation for UKIALUCP adoption to the ALUC is included as Attachment 1 to this Staff Report. https://www.mendocinocounty.org/government/planning-building-services/meeting- agendas/planning-commission Recommendation: Staff recommends Planning Commission adopt the resolution in Attachment 1 recommending the Mendocino County Airport Land Use Commission adopt the Draft 2020 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for Ukiah Municipal Airport.
