Ukiah, CA 95482
DATE: July 9, 2020
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Craig Schlatter, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Recommendation to the Mendocino County Airport Land Use Commission
on the Draft Ukiah Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan
____________________________________________________________________________
Background:
The Mendocino County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) adopted the original countywide
compatibility plan, the Mendocino County Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan (MCACLUP),
on October 21, 1993; the plan was revised June 6, 1996, to include the Ukiah Municipal Airport.
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.

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.
