BACKGROUND
On September 9, 2021, Redwood Quality Management Company (RQMC) applied for a Director’s
Determination regarding the proposed 16-bed residential and outpatient mental health
rehabilitation center (MHRC) at 531 South Orchard Avenue. Ukiah City Code (UCC) §9088 allows
for a determination of appropriate use (Director’s Determination), “whenever a use is not listed in
this article as a use permitted by right or a use subject of a use permit in the C-1 zoning district.”
The Community Development Director determined the project description best fit the Guidance
Services (General) land use definition within the City Code. Guidance Services, defined as
“Provision to seven (7) or more individuals of counseling, guidance, vocational or recuperative
services to persons requiring rehabilitation assistance as a result of mental illness, alcoholism,
detention, drug addiction or similar conditions, either on a residential or daycare basis,” are not
listed in any zoning district article in the Ukiah City Code (UCC). The determination that the Project
could be conditionally permitted with Planning Commission approval of a Major Use and Site
Development Permit was based on the compatibility of Guidance Services with surrounding
existing or allowed uses; the fact that the Project site is the last vacant parcel in the neighborhood,
and its development would not be detrimental to the built-out surroundings; and a Guidance
Center use would have less of an impact on the neighborhood than other permitted uses in C-1
zoning district, such as auto repair or machine shop. The Director’s Determination is included as
Attachment 3.
On December 16, 2021, the Applicant completed a pre-development meeting with City Staff from
the City Manager’s Office, Electric Utility Department, Public Works Department, Police
Department, Community Development Department – Building Division, and Ukiah Valley Fire
Authority. Departmental input on the various aspects of the project were conveyed to the
Applicant. The Major Use and Site Development Permit application was received on April 11,
2022.

AGENCY COMMENTS
The Project was referred to the following responsible or trustee agencies with interest or
jurisdiction over the project: City of Ukiah Community Development Department - Building
Division, Public Works Department, Police Department, Electric Utility Department, Mendocino
County Air Quality Management District, Mendocino Transit Authority, and Ukiah Valley Fire
Authority. Agency comments were integrated into the Draft Conditions, and are included as
Attachment 5.
STAFF ANALYSIS
General Plan Consistency. The parcel has a General Plan designation of Commercial, the
purpose of which is to “identify where commerce and business may occur.” Examples of Allowable
Uses include “retail, service businesses, general commercial, shopping centers, shopping malls,
public facilities, places of public assembly, parking lots, and residential uses.” Another example
of the Project’s consistency with the General Plan is in the Community Facilities Element.
Community Facilities Element. Goal CF-9: Promote good personal health. Implementation
Measure CF-9.1(a): Promote and support organizations which are concerned with health issues
and that provide information to citizens to educate themselves about these issues. The
Community Facilities and Services Element discusses various aspects of hospital and emergency
medical care response and facilities. RQMC proposes to offer primary care services (health
services that cover a range of prevention, wellness, and treatment for common illnesses),
substance abuse treatment, medication support, whole person care case management, and
residential and outpatient mental health rehabilitation services within the proposed facility, for
support and assistance while the patient regains their ability to safely function on their own.
Increasing the inventory of beds available for residents needing mental health rehabilitative care
is part of the support for local health care and emergency response services.
Zoning Ordinance Consistency. The subject property is within the Community Commercial (C1)
zoning district, which “is intended to promote, and provide flexibility for commercial development,
and to encourage the establishment of community-wide commercial serving land uses.”
Use Permit and Site Development Permit. As indicated in the Director’s Determination
(Attachment 3), the Project is best categorized as a Guidance Services land use, providing
rehabilitative care on both an outpatient and residential basis. Guidance Services land uses are
allowed within the “C1” zoning district with approval of a Major Use Permit. In addition to a Use
Permit being required, a Site Development Permit is required for construction of the new building,
in accordance with UCC 9087.
Setbacks. The front yard for multiple story buildings is a minimum of five feet (5’) from the street
right of way line. Rear and side yards are zero, except if the parcel abuts on an R1, R2, or R3
zoning district. The Project site is surrounded by Community Commercial (C1) parcels and the
highway and does not abut a residential zoning district. The Project Parcel does not share a lot
line with a street from which access is provided, which is the definition of a front lot line. The Site
Plan shows a 66-foot setback from the west lot line, five feet from the north, 16 feet from the west,
and 16 feet from the south lot lines, in compliance with minimum yard requirements.

Parking. Parking requirements for land uses within the C1 zoning district are outlined in UCC
§9086. Because parking regulations are not specifically identified for Guidance Services,,
Professional Office, which includes medical and counseling services, was used for the purpose
of determining parking. According to §9086, parking for Professional Office is assessed at one
space per 300 sf. At 11,571 sf, 39 spaces are required (11,571 sf/300 sf = 38.57). The Site Plan
shows 31 spaces (including two Accessible and five compact spaces) and two five-space bicycle
racks, for a total of 33 proposed spaces. The Applicant requests relief from six of the required
parking spaces. UCC Section 9067.D allows for relief from the parking requirements “through the
discretionary review process, providing a finding is made that there is a unique circumstance
associated with the use or property that results in a demand for less parking than normally
expected.” The Applicant asserts that the demand for parking is reduced due to the staggered
work shifts, limited visitor access, use of off-site telework, and minimal parking needed for
residential clients. The Mendocino Transit Authority (MTA) bus stop for Local Route 9 is 400 feet
away, at the corner of the driveway and South Orchard Avenue. The east side of South Orchard
Avenue has interconnected sidewalks. Staff recommends approval of the requested relief of six
parking spaces, due to the planned use of off-site, tele-health services, close access to transit,
and pedestrian amenities, resulting in a unique circumstance for this land use and parcel with less
of a parking demand at this location than normally expected.
Height. The maximum height allowed in the “C1” Community Commercial Zoning District is fifty
feet (50’). The Applicant proposes a two-story building, with a maximum roof height of thirty feet,
one inch (30’ 1”).
Landscaping. Section 9087 of the UCC requires a minimum of 20% of gross area of the parcel
for landscape coverage, with a minimum of 50% of that area dedicated to live plantings. The
proposed Site Plan complies with the required area, a total of 5,114 sf (20%) in a 25,573 sf parcel.
Of the 5,114 sf of landscaping, 4,489 sf (88%) is live plantings. The trees in the parking lot and
along the east lot line are selected from the City’s Required Parking Lot Tree List. The shrubs and
ground cover were selected for drought tolerance characteristics.
The Applicant requests permission to place the parking lot trees within tree wells, rather than
within linear planting strips continuous with parking spaces, and to reduce the number of trees
from eight to seven. UCC §9087.D.1.c requires, “Parking lots with twelve (12) or more parking
stalls shall have a tree placed between every four (4) parking stalls within a continuous linear
planting strip rather than individual planting wells, unless clearly infeasible. Parking lot trees shall
primarily be deciduous species, and shall be designed to provide a tree canopy coverage of 50%
over all paved areas within 15 years of planting. Based upon the design of the parking lot, a
reduced number of trees may be approved through the discretionary review process”.
With 33 proposed spaces (including the two bicycle racks), eight trees are required, unless a
reduction is approved by the Planning Commission. The original Landscape Plan, included in the
Application materials (Attachment 4), shows the eight trees in 1.57 sf tree wells at every four
parking spaces rather than in linear planting strips, in order to maximize parking spaces. At the
recommendation of the Design Review Board to increase the area of the tree wells and place
them in conjunction with the wheel stops, the Applicant submitted two revised site plans
(Revisions 1 and 2, included as Attachment 6). Revision 1 includes all eight trees along the
western lot line, in 33.75 sf tree wells, in conjunction with compact parking spaces. Alternative 2
shows the trees in the larger tree wells, but with the tree closest to the building removed, and the
two trees remaining along the front of the building where there is greater distance between the
trees and the front of the building.

Staff recommends Landscape Plan Alternative 2, with the increased tree well size in lieu of the
linear parking strips, and the removal of the tree closest to the building, due to the limited area on
the parcel for parking, the increased area of the tree wells, and the likely conflict between the
canopy of the mature tree and the front of the building.
Lighting. The proposed lighting includes downward directed wall scones and LED parking lot
lighting. Placement of the parking lot lighting was designed to coordinate with the tree placement,
and will be downward directed and Dark Sky compliant.
Signage. Signage is described in the Project Description as, “etched and cutout metal with low
intensity backlighting. The facility sign would be mounted on the west facing wall of the
transformer and generator enclosure structure.” Images of the proposed signage were not
included in this permit application, and would require a Sign Permit prior to installation.
Design Guidelines. The Project is subject to the City of Ukiah’s Design Guidelines for Commercial
Projects Outside the Downtown Design District and was reviewed by the Design Review Board
(DRB) on May 26, 2022. The DRB recommended Planning Commission approval of the Project
with the following recommendations:
• Increase the size of the tree wells, and place them in conjunction with wheel stops and
compact parking spaces; and
• Consider an alternative color to the proposed Antique White.
In response to the DRB recommendations, the Applicant submitted two possible revisions to the
Landscape Plan, as discussed above. RQMC has decided to keep the Antique White, unless
directed to change the color by the Planning Commission. Staff recommends approval of the
modified parking, reduced tree count, and larger tree wells, as discussed above, and defers color
selection to the Planning Commission. The draft Minutes from the meeting are included as
Attachment 7.
Airport Land Use Compatibility. The Project Site is located within the Zone 6 Traffic Pattern
Compatibility Zone. Professional offices and in-patient medical, including mental hospitals are
Normally Compatible uses within this zone, with a Maximum Sitewide Average Intensity of 300
people/acre, and Maximum Single-Acre Intensity of 1,200 people/acre. The Applicant describes
a maximum of 47 staff, with staggered schedules, and 16 residential clients. Additional people
may visit the site for meetings, but there is neither the meeting space nor parking to accommodate
the 300 people density maximum. The maximum density has been included as a condition of
approval.
In summary, the proposed land use and Project meet all of the criteria listed for Airport
Compatibility Zone 6 and are not included in the list of land use actions requiring mandatory formal
ALUC review listed in Chapter 2 of the UKIALUCP. As such, the Project is determined to be
consistent with the UKIALUCP and does not require formal ALUC review.
With the exception of the request for relief from the aforementioned parking and landscape
requirements, the proposed Project meets all applicable zoning code regulations. Findings to
approve the Use Permit and Site Development Permit (including the two requests for relief) are
included in Attachment 1 and Conditions of Approval are included in Attachment 2.

ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
The project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed Project
is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Article 19
§15332, Class 32, In-Fill Development Projects for the following reasons.
a) The Project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable
general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designations and regulations.
By Director’s Determination, dated October 6, 2021, the proposed project was determined
to be a land use most similar to Guidance Services, and similar to other permitted uses
within the Community Commercial (C1) Zoning District. The proposed project is consistent
with goals, objectives, and policies in the following General Plan Elements: Community
Facilities, Circulation & Transportation, and Land Use, based on the points discussed
above in the Staff Analysis.
b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five
acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
The Project Site is within the Ukiah City limits on a property that is approximately 0.6 acres.
The site is adjacent to Highway 101 to the east, and developed parcels with professional
office, supportive housing uses to the north, west, and south. The Project Site is currently
vacant, with regularly mowed grasses.
c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threated species.
The site is currently vacant, generally flat, and covered by grasses which are routinely
mowed. Minimal grading is proposed which will not substantially alter the natural grade.
The nearest water body, Gibson Creek, is located ±380 feet to the north.
d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise,
air quality, or water quality.
South Orchard Avenue is deemed a Collector road, serving to move traffic from local
streets to arterial road (Perkins and East Gobbi Street s). As of 2019, the Pavement
Condition Index (PCI) value was Very Good (93 PCI). The local agencies did not request
a traffic study during the review of this project.
The majority of services would take place inside the facility, with outdoor recreation in the
fenced area adjacent to the highway. Besides minimal automobile noise, operation of the
facility is not anticipated to be a significant source of noise. After construction is completed,
no activities are proposed that would significantly impact air quality. The Project Site is not
near any water bodies, and is outside the flood plain. City of Ukiah water and wastewater
connections are proposed and service is available. Lastly, the project has been reviewed
and conditioned by several departments and agencies to reduce potential impacts from
traffic, noise, air quality and water quality, with their recommendations included in the draft
Conditions of Approval (Attachment 2).
e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The project site is within the City limits and would be served by City utilities and public
safety agencies.

FINDINGS TO ADOPT A MAJOR USE AND SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT TO DEVELOP A
16-BED RESIDENTIAL AND OUTPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH REHABILITATION SERVICES
FACILITY AT 531 SOUTH ORCHARD AVENUE (APN 002-340-47); FILE NO. 22-6999
The Community Development Department’s recommendation for conditional approval of a Major
Use Permit and Major Site Development Permit to develop a 16-bed residential and outpatient
mental health rehabilitation facility at 531 South Orchard Avenue; APN 002-340-47, is based in
part on the following findings, in accordance with UCC §9082, §9083, §9085, §9086, §9087,
§9088, §9198, §9262, and §9263.
Major Use Permit Findings
1.The proposed land use is consistent with the provisions of the Ukiah City Code as well as the
goals and policies of the City General Plan.
By Director’s Determination, dated October 6, 2021, the proposed project was determined to
be a use most similar to Guidance Services, and similar to other permitted uses within the
Community Commercial (C1) Zoning District.
The proposed project is consistent with goals, objectives, and policies in the following General
Plan Elements: Community Facilities, Circulation & Transportation, Safety, and Land Use.
The Project would promote good personal health through the inpatient and outpatient mental
health rehabilitations services (Goal CF-9.1). These services are to be supported as they are
“concerned with health issues and…provide information to citizens to educate themselves
about these issues” (Implementation Measure CF-9.1(a)). The inclusion of two five-space
bicycle racks complies with Circulation & Transportation Element Goal CT-3, designing new
development to be as accessible by foot, bicycle, and transit as it is by auto.
2.The proposed land use is compatible with surrounding land uses and shall not be detrimental
to the public’s health, safety and general welfare.
The Project Site is located within the Community Commercial (C1) zoning district, and is
designated Commercial (C) in the General Plan. Located at the end of a short, paved two lane
road, the Site is outside the flood plain, outside the Downtown Design District, and is within
the Airport Land Use Compatibility Zone 6 (Other Airport Environs). Neighboring uses include
administrative offices ((Social Services, School District, and labor union offices), high density
supportive housing, and Highway 101. At the intersection of the driveway and Orchard
Avenue, the County recently completed an 8-bed mental health rehabilitation center.
The Project would be serviced by the City’s water, sewer, electric, police, and fire services. In
addition, the project has been reviewed by the following agencies to ensure compliance with
the Ukiah City Code and other codes and regulations relating to health and safety: Ukiah
Valley Fire Authority, City of Ukiah Public Works Department, City of Ukiah Police Department,
City of Ukiah Electric Utility Department, and City of Ukiah Community Development
Department – Building Division. Comments have been included as Conditions of Approval, as
appropriate.

Major Site Development Permit Findings
1. The Major Site Development Permit, as conditioned, is based in part on the following findings,
in accordance with §9263:
A. The proposal is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the City General Plan.
Please see above response.
B. The location, size, and intensity of the proposed project will not create a hazardous or
inconvenient vehicular or pedestrian traffic pattern.
The Project would be located at the end of a driveway which ends in highway fencing,
minimizing vehicular and pedestrian traffic impact. The Applicant requests relief from six
required parking spaces, offering the inpatient portion of the on-site services, reliance on
telemedicine, and staggered shifts as reasons the land use will result in a reduced
demand for on-site parking due to reduced traffic impact.
C. The accessibility of off-street parking areas and the relation of parking areas with respect to
traffic on adjacent streets will not create a hazardous or inconvenient condition to adjacent
or surrounding uses.
The Project proposes 31 parking spaces for employees, patients, and visitors; with two five-
space bicycle racks. The parking lot is spaced for safe ingress and egress. Vehicles and
pedestrians would be able to access the site as the driveway continues onto the parcel. The
parking for the parcel adjacent to the west is accessible prior to the Project Site. Parking for
adjacent parcels to the south is accessed from a separate driveway, located to the south of
the Project Site’s driveway. All of the proposed parking spaces are located in such a manner
that will not create a hazardous or inconvenient condition to adjacent or surrounding uses.
D. Sufficient landscaped areas have been reserved for purposes of separating or screening
the proposed structure(s) from the street and adjoining building sites, and breaking up and
screening large expanses of paved areas.
The Project complies with the required 20% landscape (with no less than 50% in live
plantings) minimum described in UCC §9087. The Project Landscape/Site Plan includes
trees along the eastern and western parcel lines as visual screening from neighboring
buildings and the highway. The north and east property lines will have a seven-foot redwood
fence. There is additional landscaping next to the building’s front entryway.
E. The proposed development will not restrict or cut out light and air on the property, or on the
property in the neighborhood; nor will it hinder the development or use of buildings in the
neighborhood, or impair the value thereof.
Light and air will be impacted to the level common for new construction. The parcel will be
developed in compliance with the Community Commercial design and development
standards. The west and south property lines will be open for air circulation. The parking lot
will have downward pointing, dark sky compliant lighting with similarly positioned sconce
lighting on the outside of the building. The Project is contained within a single parcel, and
the proposed use of mental health rehabilitation services complements the existing healt h
services in the neighborhood, rather than impairing their value.

F. The improvement of any commercial or industrial structure will not have a substantial
detrimental impact on the character or value of an adjacent residential zoning district.
The Project Site is surrounded by the Community Commercial (C1) zoning district, with
Highway 101 adjacent to the east. There are no adjacent residential zoning districts.
G. The proposed development will not excessively damage or destroy natural features,
including trees, shrubs, creeks, and the natural grade of the site.
The site is currently vacant, generally flat, and covered by invasive weeds and grasses
which are routinely mowed. Minimal grading is proposed which will not substantially alter
the natural grade. Existing trees will remain, with additional trees and drought resistant
shrubs and ground cover proposed. Low Impact Development design features, including
a rain garden have been integrated into the project to provide adequate site drainage.
H. There is sufficient variety, creativity, and articulation to the architecture and design of the
structure(s) and grounds to avoid monotony and/or a box-like uninteresting external
appearance.
The proposed two-story structure includes a variety of surface materials with coordinated
colors, with articulation in the roof lines and floor sizes. The Design Review Board made
recommendations of approval of the project, with additional recommendations regarding the
tree wells and possible alteration of the proposed Antique White paint color. They did not
make any recommendations for alterations to the architecture.
California Environmental Quality Act
1. The project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed
project is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Article 19 §15332, Class 32, In-Fill Development Projects for the reasons described in the
staff report.

RQMC Project Description
For Use Permit and Site Development Permit Application
531 S. Orchard Ave. Ukiah
Over View of Project
Redwood Quality Management Company (RQMC) is submitting a Use Permit Application and a Site
Development Application to construct a new office building at 531 S. Orchard Avenue in Ukiah.
This undeveloped parcel of land is located in the C-1 zoning district. Per the City of Ukiah’s
Director’s Determination Letter dated October 6, 2021, this project is considered to be General
Guidances Use and is consistent with permitted uses within the C-1 zoning district.
The identified parcel has a total area of 25,573 square feet. The proposed new two story office
building has 1st floor of 7,593 square feet and a total of 11,571 square feet including the 2nd floor.
The total paved area will be 11,316 square feet. The total landscaped area will be 5,114 square
feet. The total sidewalk area will be 1,550 square feet. The site plan has 31 parking spaces and
two 5 space bicycle racks. The site plan also shows the required emergency fire access and turn
around areas, the required percentage of landscaped area and storm runoff accomadation.
The parcel is located at the end of short, paved, two lane road that services the neighboring Social
Services Administration building (to the west of the property) and the new RQMC office building.
Bodering the south property line is the newly re-purposed homeless housing project, Live Oaks
Commons. To the east of the property is the 101 freeway. To the north of the property is an office
park. There are a variety of office and social service buildings in the surrounding area.
RQMC is planning to relocate the services and functions currently conducted at their present
location (350 E. Gobbi Street) to this new office building. In addition to its current administrative,
mental health and medication support services, RQMC is planning to also provide primary care
services, substance abuse treatment and operate a 16 bed, Mental Health Rehabilitation Center
(MHRC) in this new building.
Project Description
The project design consists of a single story south wing which has its own entrance and primarily
houses the MHRC program (please see the following narrative for a more complete description of
the MHRC program). The MHRC area has 16 individual bedrooms, a large common area, activity
and service rooms, a dining area and kitchen. Every two bedrooms has its own toilet and sink.
There are also 4 individual showers (2 ADA accessible), an ADA accessible bathroom, laundry
room, storage room and janitor’s closet. The central common area has a clear story to allow
natural lighting into the building. The MHRC has an attached, fenced outdoor patio area off the
eastside of the building. This outdoor area is designed to offer leisure and excerise activity space.
The north wing of the building is two stories. The ground floor houses the main entrance with a
lobby, stairway and elevator. Along the north side of the ground floor are 12 offices that
accomadate the medication support servies, mental health and substance abuse services and
primary care services. The ground floor also has an ADA accessible bathroom.

The RQMC administration offices are on the second floor. Accessed by stairs and an elevator. On
this second floor are thirteen offices, a conference room, breakroom and two ADA accessible
bathrooms. There is also a back exit and exterior stairway.
The exterior of the building will have a combination of metal and hardiboard siding. The colors
will be a warm mix of terra cotta hues. The roofing material will be ribbed metal roofing of a
complimentary color.
Landscaping will make use of droubt tolerant plants and trees (see landscaping plan). The east
and north property lines will have architectural redwood fencing. The signage will be etched and
cutout metal with low intensity backlighting. The facility sign will be mounted on the west facing
wall of the transformer and generator enclosure structure.
Mental Health Rehabilitation Center (MHRC) Program
The new MHRC will provide time limited, secure, transitional housing and intensive Rehabilitation
and Medication Support services to Medi-Cal beneficiaries who are 18 years or older and require
placement in an adult residential setting. Residents of the MHRC are persons who have serious
mental health symptoms and impairments and need 24-hour support and assistance while
regaining their ability to safely function on their own. When a resident is able to safely function
independently, he or she will transition to other local community residential settings. This housing
and treatment resource is a critical part of the Mendocino County Continuum of Care that is
currently missing in the local efforts to address mental health needs and homelessness.
Residents, while in placement, will have access to Psychiatric and Medication Support Services,
Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, Primary Care and Nursing Care Services, Case
Management and Transitional support services as well as recreational activities, food and laundry
services and social, vocational and community engagement opportunities. These services and
resources will be primarily provided by either staff from the RQMC on-site Clinic or will be
employees of the MHRC.
Medication Support and Primary Care Clinic Program
The new facility at 531 South Orchard Avenue will also deliver a variety of ancillary services that will
include:
o Medication Support Services (Psychiatric care for MHRC residents and Mendocino County Medi-Cal
beneficiaries with Specialty Mental Health services)
o Primary Care Services (for residents of the MHRC)
o Specialty Mental Health and AOD Services (for residents of the MHRC)
o Whole Person Care Case Management Services
Administrative Offices
The RQMC administrative offices will be located on the second floor of the new building. The
RQMC administrative functions will support the services provided by the Medication Support and
Primary Care Clinic as well as the MHRC program. The administrative offices of RQMC also

provides oversight and quality improvement services for Mendocino County Community Based
Organizations who deliver Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health services for Mendocino County Medi-
Cal beneficiaries.
RQMC Staffing Plan and Parking Needs
Staff Work Approaches and Schedules
RQMC will employ approximately 47 people after it moves into the new office building. A majority
of these staff will be using a flexible work schedule that includes tele-commuting, tele-health
services, flexible and/or offset work hours. Many of the staff are also part time employees. This
configuration of staffing and work schedules significantly reduces the needed number of parking
spaces for staff. In addition, a large number of patients participate in their services via Tele-Health
modalities. This also reduces the number of on-site parking spaces needed for clients. Finally, the
majority (85-90%) of residents residing in the 16 bed MHRC will not have vehicles or be driving
during their time at the facility. Those patients that do end up using their own vehicles will be in
the process of transitioning to a community living situation.
Projected On-Site Staffing and Parking Needs
Due to the number of staff that will be utilizing Tele-Commuting and Tele-Health options, flexible
work schedules, offset work schedules, and/or are part time employees, the use of Tele-Health
modalities by patients and the level of care needs of residents of the MHRC and visitors, it is
calculated that RQMC’s new facility will need a maximum of 29 parking spaces.
The following detailed description of staffing plans for each program explains the method for
determining the expected number of needed parking spaces for RQMC’s new office building.

The MHRC provides nursing, supervision and daily living care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
This means that many of the MHRC staff work night, weekends or swing shift hours. Even
though the MHRC has a large number of staff a majority pf the employees work hours that are
not during the regular business day. This results in the MHRC needing fewer than normal staff
parking spaces for the MHRC program.
Less than 85-90% of the residents of the 16 bed MHRC will have a vehicle on site during the
time that they are residents in the MHRC facility. This translates into approximately 1.5
parking spaces. Do to the high level of supervision needed by the MHRC residents, visitors will
be scheduled so that there are a limited number of visitors at any-one-time at the facility.

Interoffice Memorandum
To: Mireya Turner, Planning Manager
From: Jason Benson, Senior Civil Engineer
Date: May 4, 2022
Re: Major Use & Site Development Permit at 531 S. Orchard Avenue
The Department of Public Works has reviewed the above noted project and
recommends the following conditions of approval for the facility:
1.All driveway and parking areas shall be surfaced with asphaltic concrete
(2-inch asphalt 6-inch aggregate base), concrete, or other surfacing so as
to provide a durable, dust free all-weather surface which shall meet the
requirement of all applicable laws and the approval of the Director of
Public Works.
2.All work within the public right-of-way shall be performed by a licensed
and properly insured contractor. The contractor shall obtain an
encroachment permit for work within this area or otherwise affecting this
area. Encroachment permit fee shall be $45 plus 3% of estimated
construction costs.
3.Applicant shall upgrade existing sidewalk along subject property frontage
to meet ADA requirements, including at the existing driveway approach at
Orchard Avenue. Public sidewalk improvements outside of the street
right-of-way will require a sidewalk easement dedicated to the City.
4.To complete our review of the building permit application, provide a listing
of all proposed plumbing fixtures throughout the structure. Appropriate
sewer fees will then be applied.
5.Prior to issuance of the building permit, final improvement plans,
including a detailed erosion control plan, shall be required, to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer.
6.Applicant shall submit a complete Preliminary SUSMP pursuant to
Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 of the Low Impact Development Technical
Design Manual.
7.Capital Improvement fees for water service are based on the water meter
size. A fee schedule for water meter sizes is available upon request.
Additionally, there is a cost for City crews to construct the water main
taps for the proposed water services to serve the project
