Turner, Interim Senior Planner Page 4 of 17 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12a Department of Community Development Planning Division 300 Seminary Ave. Ukiah, CA 95482 Staff Report Object Development and Design Standards 1 DATE: July 14, 2020 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Mireya G. Turner, Interim Senior Planner – Special Projects SUBJECT: Consideration of Draft Objective Development and Design Standards for New Residential Development, including duplexes, triplexes, four-plexes, and multi- family projects with five or more units, and recommendation to City Council ATTACHMENTS 1. Public Review Draft of proposed Objective Development and Design Standards 2. Draft Minutes of the June 25, 2020 Design Review Board meeting SUMMARY The Planning Commission will consider the draft Objective Development and Design Standards for New Residential Development, including duplexes, triplexes, four-plexes, and multi-family projects with 5 or more units, in order to provide recommendations to the City Council, consistent with the City’s approved SB 2 Planning Grant work plan and 2019-2027 Housing Element. The Draft Objective Standards have been revised since it was originally scheduled for the meeting on June 10, 2020, and are included as Attachment 1. BACKGROUND The 2019-2017 Housing Element Update, approved by the City Council on October 23, 2019, and certified by the state Department of Housing and Community Development on December 15, 2019, states as Goal H-1: Conserve, rehabilitate, and improve the existing housing stock to provide adequate, safe, sustainable, and decent housing for all Ukiah residents. Implementing Program 1e supports this goal: “Develop standards and design guidelines for residential development in Medium Density Residential (R-2) and High Density Residential (R-3), Community Commercial (C-1) and Heavy Commercial (C-2) zoning districts.” These standards would, “both facilitate development at the allowable densities and provide guidance and certainty in design standards to ensure quality housing is developed in the community.” Completion of this task is due by the end of the 2020 calendar year. SB2 grant funds enabled Staff to accelerate this program. As described in the grant application, the City’s Project “Priority Policy Area (PPA) 1” is to establish, “Zoning revisions to streamline multi-family housing production, by-right housing; development of objective design and development standards; and development of zoning recommendations for additional housing incentives.” Page 5 of 17 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12a Department of Community Development Planning Division 300 Seminary Ave. Ukiah, CA 95482 Planning Commission Staff Report Objective Development and Design Standards 2 Objective development and design standards offer developers the opportunity to save time in the entitlement approval process by removing the need for design review of individual projects. The Objective Standards allow for flexibility while holding a development project to standards in order to produce housing that fits and complements the City’s residential character. City Planning Staff and Mintier Harnish, Planning Specialists subcontracted for this portion of the grant work plan, have submitted this Public Review Draft for the Design Review Board’s consideration and input. Review and comments on the Objective Standards by the public, Design Review Board, Planning Commission, and City Council will provide Staff with the guidance needed to draft appropriate amendments to the City’s zoning ordinance, to incorporate objective development and design standards. The Design Review Board met on June 25, 2020 to review the draft objective standards. The Board adopted a recommendation of approval to the City Council, and requested the following comments be conveyed: • Remove A.9.c Street-Facing Structures. Structures at the street shall have a front entry oriented to the street. • Add an indoor parking option to A.14 Parking and Circulation • Remove 14.a.f.b Carports shall be located no more than 5 feet from the dwelling units they serve. • Amend B.7.c.1 to read: “Non-reflective standing seam metal roofs in shades of tan, brown, black, red, and light blue.” • Amend B.8 Screening to read, “All screening of ground-mounted, wall-mounted, and roof- mounted equipment shall be painted in accordance with the approved color palette for the project. Visual screening shall be installed if ground-mounted or wall-mounted equipment faces the street.” • Add requirement, “The edge of veneers should not be obvious, such as by avoiding vertical joints at exterior corners.” The draft Minutes of the meeting are included as Attachment 2. STAFF ANALYSIS GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY The 1995 Ukiah General Plan consists of thirteen elements, each describing a different aspect of the community’s vision. This vision guides development for the Ukiah community, as well as provides the Community Development Department with priorities approved by the public, as listed in the goals and implementing programs. The Housing Element Update incorporated significant public input, and was adopted by the City Council on October 23, 2019, making it part of the Ukiah General Plan. Certification by the state Department of Housing and Community Development established that the 2019-2027 Housing Element Update was in full compliance with state Housing Element Page 6 of 17 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12a Department of Community Development Planning Division 300 Seminary Ave. Ukiah, CA 95482 Planning Commission Staff Report Objective Development and Design Standards 3 law (Article 10.6 of the Government Code). The development of standard design and development guidelines for new residential construction, excluding single-family residences is included within the Housing Element as Goal H-1 Implementing Program 1e. As an Implementing Program, the standards are consistent with the General Plan. ZONING ORDINANCE. When approved by the City Council, the Objective Standards will be added to a comprehensive Zoning Ordinance Amendment to integrate the standards and guidelines into the Ukiah Municipal Code to keep the Zoning Ordinance consistent with the General Plan, as required by state law. AGENCY COMMENTS An Administrative Review Draft of the Objective Standards was circulated to the City of Ukiah Community Development Department – Building Division, Public Works Department, Electric Utility Department, and Police Department. No changes were requested by these Departments. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) defines a project as an activity which may cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and which is any of the following (Sections 15378 and 21065): (a) An activity directly undertaken by any public agency. (b) An activity undertaken by a person which is supported, in whole or in part, through contracts, grants, subsidies, loans, or other forms of assistance from one or more public agencies. (c) An activity that involves the issuance to a person of a lease, permit, license, certificate, or other entitlement for use by one or more public agencies. Review of the Objective Development and Design Standards for recommendation by the Planning Commission is not a project within this CEQA definition, and therefore, a CEQA determination is not required.

Page 8 of 17 CITY OF UKIAH OBJECTIVE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS| June 2020 1 Objective Design and Development Standards FOR NEW RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTON Revised Public Review Draft – June 18, 2020 California is in the midst of a housing crisis in which communities throughout the State are challenged with accommodating their fair share of housing production. The housing shortage has prompted the State legislature and Governor to enact new laws requiri ng cities and counties to streamline housing approval by establishing a by-right, ministerial approval process for all new residential construction, excluding single-family homes. Key to ministerial approval is the replacement of subjective design guidelines and discretionary review with objective design standards and ministerial approval. In October of 2019, the City of Ukiah adopted an updated Housing Element for the 2019 -2027 planning cycle. This update brought about substantive changes in format and content from the previously adopted Element to address the multitude of State law changes. Following Housing Element adoption, Ukiah has prepared objective design standards that remove barriers to and reduce costs for new residential construction, excluding single-family homes, while still protecting the residential character of its neighborhoods.
