The Planning Commission held a public hearing to provide direction on the location of the proposed Zoning Map Amendment and General Plan Amendment on July 27, 2022. The Planning Commission voted in favor of recommending that the City Council approve a proposed Zoning Map Amendment and General Plan Amendment, rezoning the subject parcel from Public Facilities (PF) to Community Commercial (Cl), and changing the land use designation from Public (P)to Commercial (C) ("Amendments"). 2. The 0.65-acre Project site is located on the corner of East Gobbi Street and South Orchard Avenue at 701 South Orchard Avenue (APN 003-181-01). The Project proposes to rezone the existing parcel, currently zoned as public facilities (PF), to community commercial (CII). The Project also requires a general plan amendment to change the land use designation from Public (P) to Commercial (C). A rezone is required because the site is no longer under City ownership or used for public purposes. While the Project would rezone the property from PF to C1, creating the potential for future commercial and residential development opportunities, no development is proposed at this time. 3. The Zoning Map Amendment is consistent with the findings required for adoption of an ordinance to approve a Zoning Map Amendment and General Plan Amendment as required by Ukiah City Code § 9265. 4. The Project site is surrounded largely by commercial and residential uses. Other Cl zoned parcels (with Commercial General Plan designations) currently exist immediately west and north of the site. No development is proposed. However, future development of the site would require adherence to all C1 zoning regulations. The Project supports General Plan goals and policies related to commercial and economic development, as it would provide an opportunity for commercial (or other) development on-site. As such, the proposed Amendments would be consistent with the City's General Plan and zoning code. 5. Notice of the proposed Project and Amendments was provided in the following manner: provided to property owners within 300 feet of the project parcels, as well as agencies and departments with jurisdiction or interest over the project on June 21, 2022; posted on the City's webpage on June 22, 2022; published in the Ukiah Daily Journal on June 24, 2022; posted on the Project site on June 28, 2022; and posted at the Civic Center (glass case) 72 hours prior to the public hearing.
