1. 2021 Women's History Month Proclamation
Summary: Council to issue a proclamation recognizing March as Women’s History Month.
Background: The City celebrates and honors women and their contribution to our community annually during

Center Women’s. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Women’s History Month will be celebrated at an
outdoor event this coming August on the coast and will honor the 100-year anniversary of women winning the

ROCLAMATION
CITY OF UKIAH
RECOGNIZING MARCH 2021 AS “WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH”
WHEREAS, Women’s History Month is a celebration of women’s contributions to history,
culture and society and has been observed yearly during the month of March in Mendocino

and
WHEREAS, the celebration marks its 38th anniversary in Mendocino County to increase and
acknowledge the roles of women at all levels of the community and to become knowledgeable

creative, social, and political strength of women; and
WHEREAS, “Valiant Women of the Vote: Refusing to Be Silenced.” continues the theme from
2020 to extend centennial events canceled due to the pandemic. Celebrating the women who
have fought for a woman’s right to vote in the United States and the 100th year passage of the
19th Amendment to the United States Constitution officially giving women that right will carry
on with the declaration “Our History Is Our Strength”. The 2021 theme also recognizes the
intersecting forms of discrimination women have faced, and continue to face, throughout
American history and celebrates the diverse women who continue to struggle against
discrimination at all level and in all forms; and

to be at the core of the 2021 celebration of Women’s History Month.

In the past several years, Ukiah has taken proactive steps to
secure reliable water supplies for its residents and enable it to
be a trusted partner for our neighbors throughout the Valley
during times of water stress and drought.
These steps include:
Developing a state-of-the-art water recycling plant that
offsets demand on the Russian River by at least 30%
Developing and implementing an Urban Regional
Water Plan
Achieving a 20% reduction in per capita water use
by 2020
Modernizing productive groundwater wells and
building additional facilities
Developing emergency interties so that water can be
delivered to all our neighbors throughout the Valley
As the largest municipal supplier of water in the Valley,
Ukiah plays a critical role in water resource planning for the
entire Valley by coordinating with stakeholders and providing
leadership on water-saving and reuse strategies as well as
maximizing available supplies.
Ukiah
Ensuring Affordable and
Reliable Water Supplies for
2021 and the Years to Come
Source for Ukiah Water:
Ukiah lies in the Russian
River Watershed, and
depends on a combination
of Russian River water
and groundwater to meet
water-supply demands.
It has senior water rights
which makes Ukiah’s water
allocations and deliveries
more reliable, although
it is currently restrained
from delivering some of
that water to its neighbors
on the outer edges of the
Ukiah Valley with less
resilient supplies.
Attachment 1
Page 10 of 585
Sean White, Water & Sewer Directorswhite@cityofukiah.com
Overcoming Fractured Planning
For our 30,000 neighbors, there are TWELVE different water
agencies in the Ukiah Valley, some of which have overlapping
jurisdictions and management, competing governance structures,
and widely differing levels of water reliability. Better planning for
service territories and systems for collaboration amongst these
overlapping districts will avoid near-term water shortages and
help support smart, sustainable growth in the region.
Ukiah is working with our neighbors and the
State Water Board through the Mendocino
County Water Resiliency Task Force – looking
not only at strategies for 2021, but also at
longer term solutions that will secure our
water supply reliability and ensure ongoing
affordable service.
Preparing for Potential Drought
Conditions
Rain levels throughout the Winter have been
low, and our Valley will likely be subject to
drought conditions and water use restrictions
this year.
Ukiah’s recent investments in a diversified
water supply with modernized infrastructure
for groundwater and recycled water will help
protect the region in case of extended drought.
Collaboration and strategic PARTNERSHIPS
Maximizing the Ability to Deliver
Reliable Water
Given the lessons we learned during the last
drought in 2015, Ukiah continues to evaluate
ways to modernize water planning and
maximize the use of available resources to
most effectively meet the broadest needs in
the Valley.
Ukiah’s water experts and regional water
stakeholders are examining the limitations
of current governance structures and water
rights held by differing local districts. Key
changes to align service territories based on
resource availability could improve water
reliability and protect water affordability for
the whole Ukiah Valley.California’s 2019–2020 water
year was the third driest in the
Upper Russian River watershed
in recorded history.][

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approve Contract Amendment with Ukiah Waste Solutions for Biosolids Removal at the
Wastewater Treatment Plant
DEPARTMENT: Finance PREPARED BY: Seth Strader, Administrative Analyst
PRESENTER: Sean White, Water Resources Director
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Original Agreement
2. Amendment 1
3. Amendment 2
4. Amendment 3
5. Amendment 4
Summary: Council will consider approving a contract amendment with Ukiah Waste Solutions for Biosolids
Removal at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Background: The City of Ukiah’s Wastewater Treatment plants treats and processes approximately 1,700
tons of biosolids annually. Biosolids produced at the Wastewater Treatment Plant are treated to meet Class
“B” requirements per EPA 40 CFR, 503.
Biosolids are dewatered on a belt filter press with solids content 18% or greater. The biosolid hauling services
consist of leaving a trailer or drop box at the treatment plant to allow loading at staff’s convenience. When the
container is full, the contractor is called to remove and route the biosolids for an accepting, pre-approved
disposal site.
Discussion: On December 16, 2015, Council approved a two-year contract with Ukiah Waste Solutions for
the removal of biosolids. Please see Attachment 1 for a copy of the contract. On December 20, 2017, Council
approved Amendment 1, extending the agreement for another year and increasing cost from $48.00 $50.00
per ton; see Attachment 2 for a copy of this Amendment. Council later approved two similar amendments
adding additional years to the agreement and revising the price per ton. See Attachment 3 & 4 for copies of
these Amendments.
Staff is requesting the approval to amend the existing contract for one additional year, increasing the cost from
$54.00 per ton to $56.00 per ton. Please see Attachment 5 for a copy of the proposed Amendment 4.
Recommended Action: Approve contract amendment with Ukiah Waste Solutions for Biosolids Removal at
the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution to Approve Joining the Employment Risk Management Authority (ERMA) Joint
Powers Authority (JPA) for Employment Practices Liability Coverage.
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources /

PRESENTER: Consent Calendar
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Resolution to Participate in ERMA
Summary: Council will consider adopting a Resolution of the City of Ukiah to approve joining the Employment
Risk Management Authority (ERMA) Joint Powers Authority (JPA) for employment practices liability coverage.
Background: At its December 2, 2020, regular meeting, Council received information and a presentation
regarding the merger of the City's JPA insurance pool Redwood Municipal Insurance Fund (REMIF) and the
Public Agency Risk Authority of California (PARSAC) into a new pool called California Intergovernmental Risk
Authority (CIRA). On December 16, 2020, Council adopted Resolution 2020-67 approving and adopting the
JPA agreement to join CIRA.
Discussion: The City of Ukiah will officially become a member of CIRA on July 1, 2021. As part of the
transition process, CIRA will obtain employment practices liability (EPL) coverage for its members from the
Employment Risk Management Authority (ERMA).
ERMA is a risk sharing pool that provides EPL coverage and loss prevention services to California public
entities. They are the first and only statewide public sector EPL risk sharing pool with over 200 public entity
members; and are accredited by the California Association of Joint Powers Authorities. They offer a variety of
value-added benefits, such as training resources and workshops, investigation services, and access to legal
services, which includes Liebert Cassidy Whitmore (LCW), the firm the City currently utilizes, and an attorney
hotline providing one hour of free advice per month.
To be considered by the ERMA Board of Directors, the City is required to submit a Council Resolution
authorizing participation in ERMA, complete an application, and provide seven years of EPL loss information
and the most resent financial audit. If approved by the ERMA Board, the City would join as an underlying
member of CIRA.
Staff recommends that Council adopts a Resolution (Attachment 1) to approve joining ERMA for EPL
coverage.
Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution to approve joining the Employment Risk Management Authority
(ERMA) Joint Powers Authority (JPA) for employment practices liability coverage.

herein whether our entity had signed it individually or through an underlying Joint Powers
Insurance Authority.

to ensure a comprehensive approach to continue the forward progress and evolution of our agency and
service to our community. The Ad Hoc reviewed research and analysis regarding community demographics,
and City staff diversity demographics, and internal policies and procedures. The Ad Hoc concluded that a
Standing Committee would be the most effective and efficient mechanism to ensure extensive ongoing
community engagement from the diversity of demographic groups within the City of Ukiah, successful plan
development and implementation, and to provide a process for annual review, oversight, and updates as
necessary.
On October 7, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution 2020-59 to establish an eleven (11) member Equity

members of Native American tribes and communities in Mendocino County, members of the Hispanic/Latino
community, persons of color, people whose primary language is not English, youth ages 21 and younger, and
seniors 65 years and older.
On February 17, 2020, the Ukiah City Council appointed seven (7) applicants to the Equity and Diversity

Supplement to Application for Ukiah Diversity and Equity Committee
1. What is your understanding of the purpose, role and responsibility of the Diversity and Equity
Committee?
A. My understanding of the Committee is that it will work together with the Mayor, City Council
and possibly other entities within the city of Ukiah, to effect real diversity and equity among
under served and underrepresented groups. This will include being a voice for those needing
inclusion where discussions and plans will be developed to improve city services, work place
opportunities, and access to services and processes to enrich the living experience in and
around Ukiah.
2. What is your understanding of/and ability to meet the responsibilities of committee members in
regards to meeting attendance? (Can you attend regular committee meetings? Do you have any
scheduling conflicts or are there any other circumstances that would prevent you from regular
attendance?)
A. It is my understanding that the committee meets monthly for regular meetings and that these
meetings are currently being held remotely due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I am available for
meetings including those called due to urgent circumstances and if selected to serve; will
prioritize my participation to insure my availability.
3. How do you believe your own skills, experience, expertise and perspectives will be beneficial to the
work of the Diversity and Equity Committee?
A. I am an older adult (over age 65), and person of color. I hold a Masters’ Degree from USC in
Gerontology and currently work with older adults as Program Director of the Multipurpose
Senior Services Program, serving Mendocino and Lake Counties. I have extensive work
experience and training with older adults and their needs and desires. Most seek to remain at
home in the communities in which they have raised their families and spent their lives. They
seek the opportunity to live a decent quality of life in which they are not alone, are free of food
insecurity, can be safe from injury and abuse and merely seek to enjoy their twilight years in
peace.
I have engaged with the California Department of Aging’s Master Plan on Aging; AARP’s Age
Friendly Communities, and California’s Aging and Disability Resource Committee. I previously
served as a state certified Advocate for HICAP, and was a Volunteer District Liaison for AARP
California. I care greatly about older adults and will do everything that I can to be a voice for
their best interests, whenever and where ever, possible.
4. Are there any other City of Ukiah Committees/Commissions in which you are interested and on which
you would be willing to serve?
A. I am willing to consider other Committees / Commissions but have an absolute passion for
older adults.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Consider Approval of a Purchase of the Cardiac Arrest System Assessment from Resuscitation
Quality Improvement (RQI) and Corresponding Budget Amendment.
DEPARTMENT: Fire PREPARED BY: Eric Singleton, Battalion Chief
PRESENTER: Consent Calendar
ATTACHMENTS:
1. COVID-19 Information Sheet
2. Crews Using RQI
3. RQI Machine
Summary: Council will consider the purchase of the Cardiac Arrest System Assessment & Digital Training
(HeartCode-Complete) for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), Basic Life Support (BLS) course, Advanced
Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) course from RQI and
corresponding budget amendment. See Attachment #1 for additional information.
Background: All Fire Department staff must maintain licensure; the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA)
personnel must complete continuing education on skills maintenance and updates annually. All personnel are
required to maintain a current CPR certificate. Simultaneously, all EMTs must additionally have a BLS
certification, while Paramedics must also have a current ACLS and PALS certificate.
Discussion: As we move into the future, our goal and commitment is to bring our training in-house instead of
relying on outside resources. These external resources can become expensive for the department and
cumbersome to our team members when trying to schedule a time for all members to make the classes,
leading us to schedule multiple classes costing the department additional expenses. Furthermore, with the
current pandemic, we face new challenges with classes not currently being offered.
With this new equipment and program(s) (See Attachment #2 & #3), we can continue our mission of serving
the community. The didactic portion of these new classes is online instructor-based, which are self-paced.
The skills portion(s) is completed on computerized manikins, which provide up-to-date live feedback for the
student in a controlled environment. Additionally, with this new training style, we can provide quality training
quarterly instead of every two years annually for a fraction of the cost. Continual training optimizes staff
proficiency, which is proven to increase patient’s survivability in the field.
This program can not only serve the fire department, but it can benefit all city employees. According to the
American Heart Association, early continuous CPR substantially increases the chance of survival. Thus all
willing employees in the future can be trained for CPR taking advantage of self-paced learning. Additionally, it
allows for a safe learning environment following the current state and county regulations and social distancing
protocols.
The total program cost is $11,000 per year with a twenty-four-month term commitment. The cost would be
split between the City of Ukiah and the Ukiah Valley Fire District. Funding for this project is being requested
as new funding to come out of the general fund. This product’s yearly engagement fee is based on the
Page 57 of 585
Page 2 of 2
number of users; by incorporating more departments in the city, the cost could be distributed equally from
multiple funds.
Recommended Action: Approve the purchase of the complete RQI training program for $11,000 to be split
with the Ukiah Valley Fire District fifty-fifty and approve corresponding budget amendment.

Summary: Council will consider an appeal of the Hearing Officer's decision to grant approval of a Livestock
Permit for two goats at 1070 North Oak Street. This item was carried over from the February 17, 2021 meeting
to allow for timely notification of all parties.
Background: An application submitted by Ms. Angel Schramer under the City's revised Livestock Ordinance,
effective September 16, 2020, was deemed complete on November 9, 2020. The application from
Ms. Schramer was to keep two male goats in a backyard pen at her residence at 1070 North Oak Street. In
accordance with requirements outlined in Division 5, Chapter 2, Sections 4200 through 4211 of Ukiah City
Code (Attachment 1), Zoning Administrator Craig Schlatter conducted a public hearing on December 21, 2020,
and issued the Livestock Permit to Ms. Schramer, based upon the findings in UCC Section 4202- i.e. the
keeping of such animals would not create a hazard to public health or safety; would not constitute a public or
private nuisance; and would not otherwise seriously and injuriously affect living conditions or property values
in adjacent or neighboring properties. Zoning Administrator Schlatter also granted the permit subject to
conditions contained in the Staff Report for the Hearing (Attachment 2). The Zoning Administrator public
hearing is accessible on the City's website at www.cityofukiah.com/meetings, December 21, 2020 Zoning
Administrator Hearing.
On January 4, 2021, Ruth Van Antwerp and Charlene Light appealed the Zoning Administrator's decision
(Attachment 3). Per Ukiah City Code (UCC) Section 4206, appeals of Livestock Permits are to be heard by the
City's Hearing Officer. The City's current Hearing Officer is Mr. Matt Finnegan, an independent practicing
attorney who holds a contract with the City of Ukiah, in addition to currently one other jurisdiction, as the
Hearing Officer for administrative hearings such as the Livestock Permit hearing.
Hearing Officer Finnegan conducted a public administrative hearing of the appeal on January 19, 2020. The
entirety of this meeting, including public input and discussion, can be accessed on the City's website,
www.cityofukiah.com/meetings, by clicking on the "Livestock Permit Appeal Hearing" video for January 19,
Page 62 of 585
Page 2 of 3
2021. On January 29, 2021, the Hearing Officer issued his decision, denying the appeal and upholding the
decision of the Zoning Administrator to grant the Livestock Permit. His decision and exhibits are included as
Attachment 4.
In pages 1 through 5 of his decision, Mr. Finnegan lists in detail the reasons for denying the appeal from Ruth
Van Antwerp and Charlene Light and upholding the decision of the Zoning Administrator. Primary points are
summarized below:
- There was no sufficient evidence on the record of appeal that the permitted livestock at 1070 N. Oak Street
will create a hazard to public health or safety; or constitute a public or private nuisance; or otherwise seriously
and injuriously affect living conditions or property values in adjacent or neighboring properties.
- "Ukiah City Code 4203 limits the discretion of the Zoning Administrator." Because Mr. Finnegan did not find
sufficient evidence of the potential of or existence of: a public health and safety hazard, a public or private
nuisance, or "seriously and injurious" affect on Ms. Van Antwerp's property value or living conditions, Mr.
Finnegan concludes "the permit shall issue under Ukiah City Code 4203."
Regarding the two conditions Ms. Van Antwerp requested be placed on the permit, Mr. Finnegan notes on
page 4 of his decision:
"It is my opinion and ruling the first condition is beyond the intended jurisdiction of the livestock permit process
and such unrelated conditions would be something the Zoning Administrator should not have the authority to
order, consequently I will not place that condition on the issuance of the permit."
"The second condition is reasonably related to the livestock permit. However it is my opinion and ruling, the
lack of a visual barrier does not create one of the three conditions in Section 4202, therefore I will not require
that as a condition of the permit order."
On February 8, 2021, Ruth Van Antwerp appealed the decision of Hearing Officer Matt Finnegan (Attachment
5). Per UCC Section 4206, appeals of the Hearing Officer's decisions are considered and decided upon by the
City Council.
Attachment 6 is the Notice of Continuance posted on February 18, 2021.
Discussion: Ms. Van Antwerp has requested two extra conditions be placed upon the issuance of the permit-
that the animals be safe and dry and that the fence between the goats and Ms. Van Antwerp's property shield
the goats from any type of view. These conditions would be in addition to the conditions of approval already
approved by the Zoning Administrator. In his January 29, 2021 decision, the Hearing Officer refuted the
arguments made by the Appellant for these two extra conditions to be placed upon the permit, instead
affirming the issuance of the Livestock Permit as approved by the Zoning Administrator.
Additionally, Ms. Van Antwerp notes in her February 8, 2021 appeal that "The City has twice stated that the
goats cannot be seen from any other parcel." This statement implies the Hearing Officer is a representative of
the City, or can speak on behalf of the City, which is not true. As Mr. Finnegan notes in his opening remarks at
the January 19, 2021 Hearing Officer meeting, he is not an employee of the City, nor does he represent the
City. Mr. Finnegan is a practicing attorney, independent from the City, who has a contract with the City to
perform impartial, unbiased administrative reviews of certain permits such as the Livestock Permit.
Finally, there have been no changes to the project since the date of application that would warrant additional
conditions or any reasons for the upholding of the appeal (denying of the permit). Requirements outlined in
UCC 4200 require the Zoning Administrator and Hearing Officer to base decisions upon findings of fact within
the record, which has been accomplished through research, analysis, discussions with the applicant and
appellant, and site visits.
For these reasons, Staff recommends City Council deny the appeal of Ruth Van Antwerp, upholding the
Page 63 of 585
Page 3 of 3
decision of the Hearing Officer and approving the issuance of the permit to Ms. Angel Schramer, in
accordance with Ukiah City Code.
Recommended Action: Deny the appeal and uphold the Hearing Officer's decision based upon the findings
of fact in the record.

On September 16, 2020, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1206, amending the Ukiah City
Code (UCC) to authorize the Zoning Administrator to make determinations on livestock permits.
The ordinance outlines the process by which goats, among other livestock, may be kept within
the Ukiah City limits. UCC §4201 lists the information required in the application. Once an
application is deemed complete, Staff schedules a public hearing; during which the Zoning
Administrator reviews the application package, and determines if the keeping of the requested
animals would create or continue any hazards to public health or safety, constitute a public or
private nuisance; or otherwise seriously and injuriously affect living conditions or property values
in adjacent or neighboring properties (UCC §4202). If the Zoning Administrator find that none of
the conditions are or would be present, he/she shall issue the Livestock Permit. This permit may
be unconditional, or may contain such conditions as are deemed necessary by the Zoning
Administrator.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
An application was received by Angel Schramer, owner of 1070 North Oak Street, requesting to
keep two male goats in a 1,000 sf fenced pen, in the corner of her backyard as indicated by the
provided site plan. The application contains responses to the required information as follows:
Required Information Applicant's Response
Type and number of animals Two adult male goats, debudded and wethered
Place animals are to be kept:
1,000 sf fenced pen in corner of backyard (site plan
provided)
Length of time Applicant intends to keep such animals at
such place: For the duration of the animals' lives
How the area will be kept maintained and cleaned so as
not to create a hazard to public health or safety
The pen is deep cleaned weekly and maintained
daily.
Description of the supervision conditions of the animals -
feeding, cleaning, waste disposal, etc.
The water is changed every other day, or as deemed
necessary. They are fed alfalfa daily and get lots of
grains and vegetable scraps, and other treats. The
bedding and manure is cleaned and put into a
receptical for disposal.
Description as to why the applicant believes that the
keeping of the animals will not affect living conditions or
property values in adjacent or neighboring properties
The animals are quiet, they do not jump, they are
non-aggressive, do not smell, are regularly wormed
and vaccinated, and deter vermin and invasive
plans, and clear vegetation that could potentially
create fire hazards. They are not visible to any
neighbors, and fly traps are used in the livestock
pens. The slope of the yard does not cause runoff
off-site.
Other information as required by the Zoning
Administrator or Planning Staff
Staff performed a site visit. No additional
information was requested.

STAFF ANALYSIS
UCC §4202 requires Zoning Administrator determination if keeping the requested animals as
requested in the application would create or continue conditions which create a hazard to public
health or safety, constitute a public or private nuisance, or otherwise seriously and injuriously
affect living conditions or property values in adjacent or neighboring properties.
PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY. The Application contains a detailed description of the ways the pen
is maintained, both daily and through a weekly deep cleaning. The animals have been altered,
wethered and debudded, to make them calmer. During the site visit, Staff witnessed a flat, clean
pen, with a six-foot wooden fence between the yard and the adjacent parcels, with a shorter, wire
fence enclosing the animals. Both fences appear to be in sound condition. There are no platforms
or gathered debris upon which the goats could climb to escape the pen. There were no nuisance
insects noted during the site visit. The animals were calm, curious and gentle upon approach.
PRIVATE OR PUBLIC NUISANCE. The Application describes interaction with the goats and family
members on a regular basis. The pen is maintained and was not odorous at the site visit. No loud
sounds were heard from the animals during the site visit, and they are not visible from outside the
Project Parcel. A few toys and pumpkins were in the pen for entertainment of the goats. There
are no platforms or debris in the pen which would enable the goats to escape to neighboring
parcels. Staff did not observe any trees hanging over into the pen which could be damaged.
SERIOUS AND INJURIOUS AFFECT TO LIVING CONDITIONS OR PROPERTY VALUES IN ADJACENT OR
NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES. Please see above responses.

have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on
the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
• The site is essentially flat, with no significant chance of runoff.
• The animals are kept in a clean, open area, with sufficient shelter
• The Application describes maintenance for both the animals and the pen that is adequate
to keep their keeping from becoming a nuisance.

FINDINGS TO APPROVE LIVESTOCK PERMIT FOR THE KEEPING OF TWO GOATS BY
ANGEL SCHRAMER AT 1070 NORTH OAK AVENUE (APN 002-072-12);
FILE NO. 20-5887
The following findings are supported by and based on information contained in this staff report,
the application materials and documentation, and the public record, in accordance with UCC
Sections 9262 and 9263.
1. The proposed keeping of such animals would not create a hazard to public health or safety.
The Application contains a detailed description of the ways the pen is maintained, both
daily and through a weekly deep cleaning. The animals have been altered, wethered and
debudded, to make them calmer. During the site visit, Staff witnessed a flat, clean pen,
with a six-foot wooden fence between the yard and the adjacent parcels, with a shorter,
wire fence enclosing the animals. Both fences appear to be in sound condition. There are
no platforms or gathered debris upon which the goats could climb to escape the pen.
There were no nuisance insects noted during the site visit. The animals were calm, curious
and gentle upon approach.
2. The proposed keeping of such animals would not constitute a public or private nuisance.
The Application describes interaction with the goats and family members on a regular
basis. The pen is maintained and was not odorous at the site visit. No loud sounds were
heard from the animals during the site visit, and they are not visible from outside the
Project Parcel. A few toys and pumpkins were in the pen for entertainment of the goats.
There are no platforms or debris in the pen which would enable the goats to escape to
neighboring parcels. Staff did not observe any trees hanging over into the pen which could
be damaged.
3. The proposed keeping of such animals would not cause serious and injurious affect to living
conditions or property values in adjacent or neighboring properties.
The care and maintenance described in the Application is sufficient to ensure the keeping
of the animals will not cause serious and injurious affect to living conditions or property
values in adjacent or neighboring properties.
Based on the above analysis, the findings required for the Livestock Permit for the keeping of two
goats by Angel Schramer, at 1070 North Oak Avenue.

Schramer Livestock Permit
Two goats will be housed within a 1000sq ft pen on the back, south western side of the 16,000sq ft
property. The animals will be used as companion animals (not of value as livestock) for the remainder of
thier lives. The pen is deep cleaned once a week and maintained daily. Their bedding and manure is
cleaned up thoroughly and put into a receptical for disposal. The animals water is changed every other
day or as deemed neccesssary, they are fed alfalfa daily and get lots of grains and vegetable scraps, on
top of other healthy treats. The animals are very quiet and calm animals as they are weathered,
debudded and elderly. The primary caregiver of the animals is myself (Angel Schramer) but the animals
are cared for as a family; my children are invloved with 4H for homeschooling purposes and FFA
throught the Ukiah Highschool. As the property owners adjustments as needed to our property to
increase value and maintain the health and safety of our animals. The animals do not create a nuisance,
they are quiet, they do not jump, they are non-aggressive, they do not smell, are regularly wormed and
vaccinated, and help deter vermin and obnoxious plant species from encroaching onto our property and
clear vegetation that could potentially create fire hazards. They are not visible to any neighbors as we
have continuously progressed our fencing, we use fly traps commonly used in livestock pens and change
them out once a month. Our property does not create run off into anyones yards as the slight decline
would bring runoff into my own yard if anything. There is nothing for them to climb on, and they are
confined to their own area which provides open roaming area and a suitable covered shelter.

I live at 154 Gibson St. and thus received notice about Angel Schramer’s application for two resident goats. Since I am
unable to attend the hearing on Dec. 21, I wanted those concerned to know I have no objection to two goats moving in
at 1070 N Oak.

Good Afternoon,
I have a comment to make regarding the goats on Oak Street. I believe that for city residents to have livestock residing
on their property they should receive permission from the neighbors who will be affected. There should also be a
minimum distance required from the neighbor's property line. The city should also revisit what they consider as livestock
vrs pets.

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Please enter these comments into the record of the hearing for 1070 N. Oak St. Thank you.
The photos were sent earlier today to Ms. Turner.
Mr. and Mrs. Schramer have been illegally keeping goats at 1070 N. Oak Street for six months, with the City's
permission. I have lived at 1060 N. Oak St. since June 1999. Anyone thinking of living in or buying residential property in
Ukiah needs to know that the City can and will allow your neighbors to keep livestock.
The Schramer family or their ancestors have lived next door to me for 21 years.
Ukiah municipal code section 4202 states that the zoning administrator shall make an investigation. Has this already
happened? Please post the report of such an investigation. Do the Schramers follow local laws for
animal care? Is their dog properly licensed and vaccinated? Did someone
inspect my yard when I was not home? Was the investigation more thorough than the code enforcement visit in July
that left logs next to my six‐foot fence that the goats could scale? (photo attached) Does the report include the history
of police and fire calls to 1070 N. Oak St?
In spite of the fact that the goats at 1070 N. Oak Street present a private nuisance, a possible hazard to my and my pets'
health and safety, and lower my property value, I support the issuance of this permit with some conditions. One is that
all animals kept at 1070 N. Oak Street be treated humanely, kept warm, safe, and dry. Second is the goats are to be in
an enclosure that keeps them out of my dogs' sight and out of my yard.
In June, the goats were put in a pen in sight of my dogs. This excited my dogs and still does. The goats want to engage
my dogs. I covered most of the fence with very cheap panels so my dogs could relax. This material will likely not last
one winter. It is the owners' job to enclose their goats properly. In our community property state, the goats belong to
Mr.
Schramer and Mrs. Schramer.
I have seen Mr. Schramer punch his dog in the face. I did report this to
the police, and I was told I would need video to make a case. I have
heard the dog being hit and screamed at many times in the last eight years. I have heard it growl back at Mr. Schramer.
This is an unsafe situation.
Unlike Cloverdale, Santa Rosa, and Petaluma, Ukiah does not have standards
of humane and healthy animal care. A pet needs a warm place to live,
sheltered from cold and rain. Mr. and Mrs. Schramer's dog does not have this. This short‐haired dog sleeps on a pile of
fabric in the cold.
Please see photo taken Dec 10 at 7:15 a.m. It was 33 degrees. Please see photo of the dog after days of rain, taken
December 13. I saw a professional dog‐walker offer the Schramers a dog bed. It was in her hands, and they said no.
Fifteen years ago, I offered them a dog house and they said no.

The goats smell bad and attract biting flies. This is a lesser nuisance than other nuisances from 1070 N. Oak Street. The
machine or auto shop there works almost every night. The machines make noise. The loud vehicles intermittently make
even more noise. But the worst nuisance is Mr. Schramer screaming at his family, calling them names and using the F
word as much as possible. This home has a history of police calls and screaming fights.
Mr. and Mrs. Schramer have already lowered my property value. I will be obligated to inform any potential buyer that
they will be living next to an auto or machine shop that runs day and night, they will hear adults screaming the F word at
children, pets, and each other. They will smell goats, have more flies, and potentially be exposed to disease due to
runoff. Because of this I will not build an ADU (adjunct dwelling
unit.) My comfort in my warm bed is always marred by the knowledge that poor Buddy, the dog next door is sleeping in
the cold and rain. The goats are the lesser nuisance of all these conditions.
I support the livestock permit with the conditions that all animals at
1070 N. Oak Street are kept safe, healthy, warm, and dry.

This is a Notice of Appeal requesting an appeal hearing of the Zoning Administrator's decision, made on
December 21, 2020, which approved a livestock permit at 1070 N. Oak Street with no conditions. As the
person living closest to the goats (much closer than their owners) at 1060 N. Oak Street, I asked for two
conditions to be placed on the permit. The first is that the goat owners keep the goats out of sight with
appropriate fencing. The second is that all pets at 1070 N. Oak Street be treated humanely. Neither
condition exists at this time.
The investigation of the goats was incomplete and incorrect. It appears from the photo of the goats'
pen shown at the hearing that the investigator was not close to the goats or near the fence to see that it
allows for my pets and I to see the goats. Attachment 1 of the staff report states, "the goats are not
visible from outside the project parcel."
The report stated that there was no odor. The odor depends on the wind.
My front and back yard are one inch from the goats. The distance in the photo is many feet. I often smell
their foul odor. The investigation reported that the goats are vaccinated. What was the proof of
vaccination and against which diseases? Water runoff was also mentioned. I discussed runoff with a
hydrologist and she said a report from her would say that water runs downhill, so hiring her was not
necessary.
The staff report reads, "Both fences appear to be in sound condition."
The investigator did not inspect the fence that allows my dogs to stare at the goats and the goats to
challenge my dogs to play or fight. The dogs and goats can see each other between every vertical board
on the southern fence. The investigator did not see my cheap quick fix to block most of the line of vision
on the south fence, which will not last a winter. The investigator did not see the fabric behind the west
fence placed by the goat owners, which may last only a season also. The investigator did not see the
places where my dogs watch the goats. I commented at the hearing that it is the livestock owners'
responsibility to properly enclose their animals. The fence is held together with nails, not screws, and
animals can easily loosen the boards on the twelve‐year‐old south fence.
In spite of the facts that the goats are a nuisance and they lower my property value, I support the permit
with conditions. Since I have seen and heard Mr. Schramer strike and scream at his dog for eight years, I
Attachment 3
Page 97 of 585
am concerned for the health and safety of the goats and the dog. I fear that the goats could be hit by
Mr. Schramer. It is good that the goats have a warm and dry place to lie down, and Ukiah code should
require it for the dog as well. I documented in my hearing comments the lack of shelter for the
Schramer's dog. Why does Ukiah code not protect dogs from neglect?
Please do a kindness for this dog and require a warm and dry place for him also.
I support the permit with two conditions. I am asking that the Hearing Officer place these two conditions
on the permit. One is that the livestock is properly enclosed out of sight of the neighbors. Two is that
all animals kept at 1070 N. Oak Street are kept safe, warm, and dry.
Please do a thorough investigation and look at the fence.
Attached are 4 photos. I can be reached at 707‐472‐7514 to schedule a site visit.

Ukiah, CA 95482
I wish to appeal your decision made on December 21, 2020, which issues a permit for the Schramer
family at 1070 N. Oak Street to keep two elderly goats on their property, until you have thoroughly
checked out and documented your findings on both properties involved.
Ms. Van Antwerp, the neighbor at 1060 N. Oak Street, has stated certain conditions whereby she will
accept the permit; but these conditions have not all been met. She stated that there must be a sound
fence between the two properties and no visibility of the goats from her property, among other
conditions such as that the goats and all animals on the Schramer property be treated humanely.
The city needs to not only look at the Schramer's property, but needs to visit Ms. Van Antwerp's
property and note their findings. The city believes that there is a sound fence between the two
properties. With Ms. Van Antwerp's permission, I visited her property and found the fence not to be
sound and also visibility of the goats through two different slots in the fence. I could see the goats
through these spaces, as could Ms. Van Antwerp's dogs, which is one of Ms. Van Antwerp's concerns.
I realize addressing these concerns will take some time; but, since I believe neighbors should have input
on how the actions of their neighbors affect the value of their property and the peace and quality of
their lives, then it should be your duty to take the neighbor's concerns into consideration before issuing
livestock permits.
I want what is best for the goats, but I do believe that permission for livestock permits within city limits
should be issued only after considering and addressing the concerns of the neighbors. I am asking you
to appeal your decision until the valid concerns of Ms. Van Antwerp are met.
Thank you very much.

Dear Ms. Lawler:
This is my Notice of Appeal of the decision dated January 29, 2021, by Matthew J. Finnegan, Hearing
Officer, regarding the livestock permit at
1070 N. Oak Street. Mr. Finnegan referred to the “lack of a visual barrier” not being a reason to change
the decision of the Zoning Admnistrator. The City has twice stated that the “goats cannot be seen from
any other parcel.” The City also claims that said fence “appears to be sound.” The evidence provided by
the city shows one side of the fence from a distance of 70 feet, more or less. I request that the City
amend its investigation and findings based on an inspection of the fence from both sides at a close
distance. My property has been available for a site inspection since June 29, 2020, the day the goats
arrived without a permit.
I continue to ask that the permit be granted with two conditions: the goats cannot be seen from my
property, and that all pets at 1070 N. Oak St. be provided with adequate shelter.
Sincerely,
Ruth Van Antwerp

Ukiah City Council

Dear Councilmember:
I am appealing the lack of two conditions which I requested be applied
to the livestock permit granted to 1070 N. Oak Street. One is that the
goats cannot be seen by me or my pets. Two is that all animals at 1070
N. Oak street have sufficient shelter, which the goats have, but the dog
does not.
On June 29, 2020, two goats arrived at 1070 N. Oak Street. Twenty-one
days later, on July 20, 2020 their owner applied for a livestock permit
from the City of Ukiah.
On July 25, 2020, I realized that the goats could easily jump my 6-foot
deer and rabbit fence. I cancelled my appointments in order to stay
home and guard my yard. Both Code Enforcement and Officer Freeman of
the Ukiah police had previously seen the wood pile that the goats
climbed, and they took no action. Until I sent this photo to the City
(see attachment 1) the woodpile remained.
On September 2, 2020, the City Council amended the Livestock Permit
Ordinance to enable the Zoning Administrator to grant a permit. The
last paragraph of the Agenda Summary Report reads, “These amendments to
the Livestock Ordinance are intended to clarify the process for
permitting livestock. However, Staff intends to conduct a more
comprehensive review of the livestock and related ordinances and propose
more comprehensive amendments as time allows.” (italics are mine)
Six months later, this appeal of the Hearing Officer’s decision presents
an opportunity for the Council to make “time allow.” I request that
the Council clarify who is responsible to properly enclose livestock,
Page 152 of 585

their owners, or the neighbors with shared fences. Ukiah’s current code
has no standards of care for livestock.
The Staff Report on page 73 of your packet remains in error, referring
to the goats, “they are not visible from outside the Project Parcel.”
Attachment 2, video taken February 12 shows my dog enjoying the sight of
the goats. “Both fences appear to be in sound condition.” The south
fence is not sound and has not been inspected by the City to my
knowledge.
After a careful reading of Attachment 2 of the Staff Report, page 118 of
your packet, I realized that the goats not being visible from
neighboring parcels was already a condition of the livestock permit,
though the goats can be seen from my yard.
A more important action that the Council can take is to begin protecting
dogs in Ukiah. The municipal code does not require shelter for a dog
unless it is in a licensed kennel. Ukiah Code 4161 Division 5, 4161, D
14 reads, “Licensees shall provide proper shelter and protection from
the weather at all times.” There is no similar rule for dogs not in a
licensed kennel. I request that the City Council place the condition on
the livestock permit that all animals kept at 1070 N. Oak Street have
proper shelter and protection from the weather. On pages 96 and 97 of
the packet, you can see living conditions of the dog at 1070 N. Oak St.
This is where I see him when I walk up my driveway regardless of cold,
rain, wind, and snow. The Council can make Ukiah better by protecting
domestic animals. Require that dogs have sufficient shelter that
protects them from weather. Placing this condition on this livestock
permit will be a step towards improving animals' lives in Ukiah.
Fayetteville, Arkansas, has ordinances that protect animals. Section
92.02 A reads, “No owner shall fail to provide his animals with
sufficient food and water; shelter which provides protection from the
weather including four sides with opening, roof, and floor.
Fayetteville also has detailed provisions for livestock in section
164.04. These may provide examples.
Anyone considering moving to a residential zone in Ukiah needs to be
aware that the City can and will allow livestock next to your home.

Subject: Re: City council tonight 3/3/21
[EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is
safe.
Please add this into the meeting for tonight;
In response to Ruth Van Antwerps' recent letter, as she keeps stating that the fence is not sound on the south end of my
back yard where my goats are housed. How much will she be paying to fix the aspects of my fencing that her grape vines
and ivy ruined? Am I responsible for someone else causing damage to my property? Is Ruth in charge of my life and the
comings and goings of my family on my property, including the words we may use? Has Ruth not understood the many
times we have been in these meetings that my permit for my GOATS has nothing to do with any other animal on my
property? Ruth has been allowed on a public platform to attempt to impress the public with her "knowledge" of my
husband and his previous family member/members and use it years later to create issues for myself; whom she does not
know, will not have a face to face conversation with and has apparently made her new "project'. Her assumptions are just
that, assumptions. She does not know myself, how I operate, what my morals are, my standards of care for my family or
animals and has vehemently harassed me since June of 2020. Including posting my address with complete lies on
Facebook, contacting UDJ for a very one sided, slanderous article that included my name and address and has stopped at
nothing to attempt to get her way.
What I truly find disconcerting is that she claims to have lived on her property for 20 years, my husband 13 years, and his
dog, Buddy, for 7 years and lo and behold she uses her apparent care for the dog as means to get her way with a permit for
my goats 7 years into his (Buddy the dogs’) life as a primarily outdoor dog. I have lived here on this property less than 3
years, a half year spent on bed rest, was gone 6 months of that time due to my 16 month old son being born with a rare
birth defect, to finally come home in April during the Covid Pandemic and then have to deal with the constant harassment
of a neighbor I've never once had a conversation with.
If Ruth Van Antwerp is worried for the welfare of canines in Ukiah, why doesn't she use her relentless letter writing and
petition for a new ordinance instead of trying to enforce her own code upon myself within a separate ordinance? Why
waste everyone else's time and energy, and do something that apparently makes a difference for the community, not just
herself. Or maybe she can just move to Petaluma, Cloverdale, Santa Rosa, Windsor or FAYETTVILLE, ARKANSAS
since Ukiah just doesn't seem to fit the bill for her?
Aside from all of that, let's look at the fencing that Ruth is speaking of shall we? You will see that indeed there are gaps in
fencing that Ruth is showing in her video, you will also see that she removed the board that kept her dogs very small
opportunity at viewing the goats just so that she could sit with her dog and attempt to entice the dog to react to my goats
playing with eachother in their enclosure. . . as you will also see, the only gaps created have come from her ivy literally
pushing large vines between the fence that my husband built a number of years ago. In past instances if you look back you
will see that Ruth has insisted that my goats try to entice her dog, which obviously they are not even aware of the dog.
Ruth on the other hand is setting up an opportunity for her dog to see my goats, attempt to entice her own "predatory
animal" as she has stated in the past and claim that it is a fencing issue, rather than possibly an owner issue. I cannot walk
my own property without her dog growling nastily and barking at myself on a regular basis. BUT ENOUGH ABOUT
THE DOGS RIGHT?
My goats are fine, and if Ruth wants to fix what she broke then she by all means, can and should. Placing a condition on a
livestock permit that has nothing to do with livestock is outrageous, a waste of time, energy and money and quite frankly
is asinine. Ruth stated at the last appeal hearing that she doesn’t find the goats to be a nuisance. Why not leave it at that?

3. Recommended Vision Statement- 2040 General Plan
Summary: Council will discuss and possibly approve a Vision Statement for the 2040 General Plan.
Background: On February 17, 2021, Council considered and discussed four draft Vision Statements for the
2040 General Plan. See Attachment 1 for a copy of the February 17, 2021, Agenda Summary Report and
Attachment 2 for the four draft Vision Statements.
Although Councilmembers generally concurred on priorities related to the Vision Statement, there was
direction for a revision on final wording. By consensus vote, Council directed Staff to meet with Vice Mayor
Brown and Councilmember Rodin to discuss and possibly make a recommendation to the Council at the
March 3, 2021, meeting on a final modified Vision Statement.
Discussion: Staff met with Vice Mayor Brown and Councilmember Rodin and discussed wording for the
Vision Statements. Vision Statement #4 was selected by both Councilmembers, with the modification of
adding the word "safe" to reflect the City's focus on community safety and eliminating two redundant phrases-
the "that is" and "focus and" in the first sentence. The final modified Vision Statement would read:
"The City of Ukiah is a diverse, family-oriented, and friendly community connected to the beautiful, surrounding
natural open space areas that give the community its unique sense of place. Ukiah is a safe and resilient
community that is fiscally responsible, environmentally conscious, and inclusive. The city offers a great place
for people of all ages, incomes, and ethnicities to live, work, and visit."
This modified Vision Statement #4 is included as Attachment 3.
Staff recommends Council approve the modified Vision Statement #4 as the Vision Statement for the 2040
General Plan.
Recommended Action: Approve the modified Vision Statement #4 as the City's Vision Statement for the
2040 General Plan.

Summary: Council will discuss and possibly approve a Vision Statement for the 2040 General Plan.
Background: The City initiated the update to its General Plan through a joint workshop of the City Council
and Planning Commission on May 14, 2019. Since that time, City Staff and the City's advanced planning
specialists, Mintier Harnish, have collected a significant amount of input and feedback from the public via
community engagement events, workshops, comments emailed to Staff, and from comments submitted on the
City's General Plan website, ukiah2040.com. On January 14, 2020, summaries of this input (Attachment 1)
were posted on the website, as well as draft General Plan Vision Statements (Attachment 2). Staff also sent
an e-blast in both English and Spanish to the City's General Plan contact list notifying recipients of the posting
of these materials.
In March 2020, Staff and the City's advanced planning specialists completed the Existing Conditions and
Trends Workbook (due to file size, Attachment 3 contains pages 1-41 and Attachment 4 contains pages 42-
93). This Workbook, plus community input received thus far, a land use alternatives workshop scheduled for
March 31, 2020, and the Vision Statement, were to serve as the basis for preparation of the General Plan
document itself.
Unfortunately, due to the pandemic the land use alternatives workshop was put on hold. After collecting input
and suggestions from the City's Equity and Diversity Ad Hoc Committee and reviewing best practices for the
virtual hosting of major community engagement events, Staff rescheduled this land use alternatives workshop
as a virtual workshop for December 7 and 8, 2020. Approximately 40-50 people total attended the workshop,
which was held on two separate evenings.
With the land use alternatives workshop now completed, the City is back on schedule for preparation and
completion of the 2040 General Plan.
Discussion: To proceed, Staff is requesting Council discuss and possibly approve one of the four draft Vision
Statements, with any modifications desired, which will serve as a basis for the 2040 General Plan preparation
effort.
ATTACHMENT 1

Page 2 of 2
The General Plan Vision Statement and guiding principles are intended to reflect what community members
value most about Ukiah and the shared aspirations of what they envision their community being in the future.
The Vision Statement should be inspirational and establish key values for the General Plan's guiding
principles, goals, policies, and implementation measures. Great care was given to ensure that no singular
stakeholder group or myopic point overrode any four of the community drafted vision statements. The guiding
principles will provide an opportunity for more specific direction such as fundamental rules or doctrine that the
City will use to inform General Plan goals, policies, and implementation measures.
Recommended Action: Discuss and possibly approve one of four Vision Statements for the 2040 General
Plan.

The following provides a summary of community input received at the first two General Plan events held
in 2019 and input provided on the General Plan Update website (ukiah2040.com).
Community Workshop #1:
Topic: Existing Conditions and Trends, Identification of Issues and Opportunities, and Visioning
Location: Ukiah Valley Conference Center, Downtown Ukiah
Attendance: 75 community participants
The City hosted the first community workshop on the General Plan Update on September 24, 2019, at
the Ukiah Valley Conference Center in Downtown Ukiah. The Workshop lasted approximately two hours
and was attended by over 75 community members. The focus of Community Workshop #1 was to
familiarize the community with the Update process, introduce the City Planning team and the Advanced
Planning Specialists team assisting City staff through the process, as well as gather initial feedback that
would inform the upcoming phases of the Update. Workshop #1 also included a series of interactive
stations pertaining to Existing Conditions and Trends, Identification of Issues and Opportunities, and
Visioning. The stations were created to allow community members regardless of language and age to
participate and provide feedback for the future of Ukiah. Below is an overview of the stations and a
record of the public comments and feedback. All stations also included informational boards and
workshops translated into Spanish.
Station #1 – Existing Conditions and Trends Overview
Station #1 included posters that provided an overview of the General Plan process, key milestones, and
opportunities to become involved. Station #1 also had a series of informational boards that highlighted
the key findings from the Existing Conditions and Trends Workbook (slated for release in early 2020).
Boards included an overview of existing community information in a graphical format organized around
each Workbook chapter. Community members were able to read the boards and ask questions of City
staff and members of the Advanced Planning Specialists team in an open house style format. This
approach allowed for free-flowing dialogue with community members and spurred further discussion
about community expectations for the General Plan.

Station #2 – Identification of Issues and Opportunities
Station #2 included an exercise focused on the identification of issues and opportunities that the
General Plan Update should address. Participants were asked to use a series of sticky notes to write
down issues and opportunities that are important to them. At each of the tables for Station #2, the City
also provided a table map of Ukiah and its boundaries, and asked community members to mark on the
map specific areas that need addressing in the update or areas that the City should capitalize on and
maintain over the next 20 years.
The following pages provide a list of all issues and opportunities provided at Community Workshop #1.
There is no ranking or order to these ideas. These items are presented as written, without editing, and
do not necessarily reflect the views of the City. Any comments that contained profanities were removed.

Station #3 – Visioning
Station #3 included an interactive engagement exercise focused on soliciting feedback on a vision for the
City. The exercise used a “Mad Lib” style approach where community members could fill in a blank
vision statement for Ukiah using sample key attributes (i.e., adjectives, assets, and values) or fill in the
blanks with words they feel are appropriate. Participants placed these attributes on a magnetic board
to create their own vision. Once participants finished filling out their desired vision, they were
photographed with their vision statement. This exercise was highly successful and captured opinions
from a wide demographic. Below is the fill in the blank vision statement used at the events and the
following page show the list of attributes that participants used to create their vision for Ukiah.

There's no time to lose in addressing how our city deals with climate concerns! Emissions, disasters
power outages, power! New buildings. Let's be a model for what should be done for zero net energy.
We can do it! Use grants!
We need to also look at the demographics of school children. We have a growing population of
retirees.

Mendocino College needs a second road to North State Street.
PumpkinFest 2019:
Topic: Existing Conditions and Trends, Identification of Issues and Opportunities, and Visioning
Location: Downtown Ukiah
Attendance: Over 200 community participants
The City hosted a General Plan Pop-Up Booth at the Ukiah PumpkinFest on October 19, 2019, at the Alex
R. Thomas Plaza. The pop-up booth consisted of similar activities to those at Community Workshop #1.
Participants were able to view existing conditions posters as well as mark-up a map of the City where
they feel change should occur. The map feedback will help inform the Alternatives Process of the
General Plan update. As part of the pop-up booth participants were provided with a survey (in both
English and Spanish) to complete that included two exercises relating to a vison for Ukiah in 2040 and
issues that should be addressed as part of the update. Each of the activities and the results of the survey
are located on the following pages. General comment cards were also received from community
members who visited the pop-up booth, with all comments listed verbatim at the end of this document.

Vision for the Future (Page 1 of the PumpkinFest General Plan Survey)
Participants were asked to select three values, assets, and adjectives that describe Ukiah in 2040. These
three descriptors help derive each participants vision for the community over the next 20 years. This
exercise is like the mad lib exercise from Community Workshop #1, where all the selected descriptors
will help inform an overall Vision Statement and Guiding Principles for the General Plan Update. Since
PumpkinFest generally draws visitors from outside of Ukiah, the survey included an initial question that
asked where participants lived. This allowed for the disaggregation of feedback collected from those
who live in Ukiah and those who do not.
Values
Based on the feedback received the three values that participants highlighted the most were safety,
health, and education. All three value descriptors received were noted by more than 10 percent of
participants who took the survey.

Super excited about the downtown project. Please stop patching roads and start fixing them.
Mendocino road has become a racetrack, we need speed bumps.
We need a climbing gym
Need housing for lower income families that are not on welfare.
Keep working hard! Thanks

Participant Comments
River park would be great.
Please build a memorial statue to honor Pomo history and place it in the park that honors a rancher
i.e.., Alex Thomas Plaza - Please address global warming.
Need more events
I love Ukiah!
More activities for kids, nothing to do
Support our local schools
It would be great to provide more of our own local food, veggies, dairy, meat. Develop sustainable
energy sources - solar. Make more public transportation. Better hiking and biking trails.
Need another store/ stores in the downtown area
Use inmates to clean hwy & Lake Mendocino campgrounds (Sheriff Dept). Miniature golf course for
kids and family, water park, bowling alley...
Large amounts of money should not be spent on a "slogan" or a website when it easily could have
been provided by the college or community members through a contest.
Ukiah has huge potential but locals and outsiders alike need to feel safe in the community (going to
parks, walking downtown and other areas, etc.)
The proposed State Street changes will harm rather than help the downtown merchants. If streets do
not get immediate attention you will soon have muddy, rutted wagon trails - appreciate those that
have been done but if you proceed with the State Street Shannon Memorial Roadway you will be
pushing daily traffic onto the side streets. The light down School Street adds character to the
downtown. Nice to see them all working. Trash containers need to be maintained!
Our city officials need to listen and then heed citizens opinions and desires. For instance, (THE R
STREET DIET!) Decision made even though many citizens objected.
Major issue, Ukiah needs to get under control its homelessness.
The town seems to have more crime lately (i.e., theft, break-ins)
Use inmates to clean up our town, Lake Mendocino & campgrounds.
Need to look at economic diversity and also address cultural sensitivity, address homelessness.
Everything closes at 5 - not friendly for those that work 8-5.
I know we all want to keep the small town vibe, but at the same time, we need to be able to work for
a decent wage. Many of us commute to Santa Rosa and beyond to achieve this lifestyle.
I am a Mendocino county resident (30 years) and have been disappointed with our town/ county.
Considering moving to different county unless the county/ city starts addressing the transients, drug
use in our community, and low rated education system. I don't want to leave my hometown but am
so scared to raise my child here. Please let me know what we can do to help our town return to the
greatest small town in California.
The community events are great! I believe the sense of community is amazing. Don’t lose that!

Shop at local businesses. Thank you for the candy! And opportunity to help make a change in our
community!
Segregation
Thriving community is based on thriving industry. Allow us to thrive.
Right now Ukiah is doing great! Keep up the good work!
Park in Wagenseller neighborhood
Police need more Hispanic and women
I think we should spend more time on the people in our town, rather than the way the town looks.
There is a serious lack of intrigue in parks staying manageable and well kept. They are lumpy and
dangerous for athletic activity.
Pet friendly areas

Topic: Identification of Issues and Opportunities and Visioning
Location: General Plan Website (ukiah2040.com)
Attendance: 35 community participants
Identification of Issues and Opportunities
The General Plan website included a series of interactive exercises that focused on topics previously
covered at both Community Workshop #1 and the General Plan Pop-Up Booth at PumpkinFest. This was
meant to allow for those who were not able to attend either of the previous events the ability to submit
feedback related to the General Plan process. The following exercise asked participants to select their
five issues and opportunities that they feel the General Plan should address. The following table includes
all collected feedback from those who participated in the online exercise. These items are presented as
written, without editing, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the City. Any comments that
contained profanities were removed.
Top Five Identified Issues
Environmental Sustainability
Fix the roads/streets.
The need for in-fill housing
Road repair on low gap
Homelessness, homeless waste produced and cleanup
more bike lanes and pedestrian zones
Downtown is NOT attractive to tourists
Climate Chaos. Needs to be addressed at every level from individual to world and every institution
between. Ban idling, Support regenerative ag, agroforestry, emissions reduction.
Promote infill housing (e.g., condos, apartments, etc.) in underutilized, vacant, and blighted
properties and prioritizing properties closest to the downtown core. Do this by incentivizing
development, seeking developers, etc. Whatever it takes! The more people that live close to
downtown, the more vital the City will become and more jobs will be created and this will help the
overall economy.
Make the railroad depot functional- trains to the coast via Willits, fast train to bay area.
More accessible open space
Exercise infrastructure: Ukiah lacks trail systems and bike lanes, especially on the south side
Green space, open space
Street and sidewalk conditions
Affordable housing

Top Five Identified Issues
Our inability to resolve the Palace Hotel as a deteriorating eye-sore and enable a value added cleanup
of State Street across from and on the sides of this sad relic.
State Street traffic calming. It feels unsafe for pedestrians and generally too fast.
Annexation of growth areas
Public Services
Removal of signs when a business closes.
Is there a way the general plan can affect out homeless crisis
Road repair on empire
fire danger preparation on every level, more clearing, more fire roads, study all areas that have power
lines (especially forested) and make those a priority for safety
support to retrofit major facilities to use renewable energy
Unchanged small-town atmosphere in a changing world
Living wages for all. Require businesses to pay $15 minimum/hr tied to inflation from the 2016 dollar,
and attract businesses by offsetting their added cost (perhaps a sales tax or wealth tax
Secure a tax sharing agreement with the County so that the City can annex the urban areas of Ukiah.
The County needs to stop allowing development (other than industrial at Masonite) outside the City
limits. Sprawl is not part of Valley residents' vision for the Ukiah Valley!
Make the Palace hotel functional condos on the upper floor and shops on the ground floor and
mezzanine with central light well to roof.
Emphasis on "green" (low to zero carbon-emitting) building
Public Water: There aren't enough drinking fountains and the ones that exist are dirty and unfiltered
Fire safety
Broadband availability
Good roads
Addressing a grave need to put meaningful effort into upgrading the academic success of our
elementary and middle school children in terms of testing and outcomes.
Greater trail access and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists. For example, a path that connects
Low Gap to Orr Creek corridor to the East end of Bush near Kohls.
Services - Utility, Sewer and Water to areas that are beyond city limits
Transportation
Do something about the homeless population.
Denser housing options and raising building height limits
Road repair on n. State street
keep improving street conditions
more carbon neutral public transportation
Homeless people camp around city
Homelessness. Solutions include job creation, mental health counseling, street medicine including
plants/nutrition, not just allopathic, tiny home parks

Top Five Identified Issues
Enforce ordinances around property maintenance and signs. For example, Blue Drug on the corner of
Mill and Dora has looked HORRIBLE for at least 10 years. Does it have to be that way? Maybe a carrot,
versus a stick, approach would help?
re locate courthouse and replace that building with a town square like Healdsburg
Better protection/management of riparian areas
Inequity: the south side is far underdeveloped compared to the north side (green spaces, social
services, event space)
Safe pedestrian and bike travel around town, and in large store parking lots
Solar energy for government buildings
Jobs
A needed support by the powers that be to address other major buildings in town which are unable to
upgrade and remain viable, such as the Methodist Church Building.
Energy Resiliency. We need to be independent of PG & E supplying our energy. We need to break our
dependence on unsustainable and imported energy sources.
Airport Land Use - Densities and land use limitations need to be expanded upon or allow for greater
flexibility
Land Use
Better enforcement of traffic laws. Stop sign runners, red light runners, red curb parkers, failure to
use turn signals etc...
The need for a unified planning process and map so that we grow as a community in a smart way
rather than our current plot by plot process
Palace Hotel - are we waiting for it to fall down and become an emergency before something is done?
raising awareness of climate crisis and taking local action
Transportation. Add EV chargers at more locations, work with MTA to increase frequency of buses
and promote them & cycling over cars.
Maintain the plaza downtown. The drinking fountain area and area under the roof are dirty and not
very appealing to hang out around.
obtain easements for more bike/pedestrian trails away from the roads
Waste: How can we recycle? Do people know how to compost/ use green waste bins? Public
education
Transient issues - trash, crime, human waste, etc.
Trenching power lines
Safe streets
Addressing the inequity of salaries and income of community employees, particularly in the lopsided
salaries in administration in comparison to those of others in community.
Support for arts in the form of a truly community art center and shared and/or individual studios and
gallery space. Look to models such as the Willits center for the arts, and shared studios in Santa Rosa
for examples.

Top Five Identified Issues
Revised the UCC. Code should encourage and allow uses that the city wants and discourage land uses
the city wants to avoid. Code is dated
Fix the dilapidated tennis courts and make them dual pickle ball/tennis courts.
Historic preservation issues and how we can become a tourist destination.
Promoting family and community values
Re-focus away from rural factory farm uses to higher education, medical and assisted living facilities.
Public Transportation: I would like to see more regular routes up and down State street, with
incentive for regular use.
Upgrade Perkins street entrance to town - trees, flowers, improved building facades, etc.
Improving schools.
Going green.
Ensuring that our tree coverage does not continue to be destroyed without protections to create a
better environment through significant and increased number of heritage trees.
Identified Opportunities
Consider other issues (energy, transportation) as environmental sustainability
Attract a business that caters to all ages, that replaces the loss of the bowling alley and skating rink.
Historic preservation is one of the few things we are absolutely missing out on
Road repair on low gap
Attract more businesses to relocate here (software, consulting, etc) perhaps give certain tax
incentives to these businesses to entice them.
Nurturing collaborative efforts from local nonprofits, religious groups, schools, to address above
issues
Make downtown beautiful, clean up and make Ukiah more attractive to tourists
Urban agriculture in vacant lots and parks, to sequester carbon as organic matter and perennial roots
in soil. Possible works program for homeless.
The new streetscape planned for State Street is a huge opportunity for improving the vitality of
downtown Ukiah. How can the general plan help to promote this vitality?
Foster a long term vision of Ukiah becoming a many faceted cultural and educational center.
Green building resources and/or grants
Local Food System: with so much local talent and a year- round growing season, Ukiah could have a
more innovative and efficient food system
Increase sharing of buildings, resources between (for example) young people and senior citizens.

Identified Opportunities
Invest in the Mendocino County Brand (awareness through even more advertising, encouraging
events/festivals, etc.)
More alternative energy
Increasing the attractiveness and cleanliness of the entire downtown corridor.
Energy Resiliency. We already have an independent contract with PG&E. Let’s invest in our own
independent energy grid or multiple micro grids and always have our power up.
Annexation of growth areas
It would great to have something similar to Ft. Bragg's CV Starr Aquatic Center.
Is there a way to bring wine tasting rooms into a more generalized area so that we can attract more
tourists
attract retirement communities such as Del Webb and others to invest and build in Ukiah. Ukiah
businesses would benefit from residents and the services they would need. What's going to happen
the courthouse once moved? Make them condos.
we have beautiful nature, let's keep it protected and pristine, and promote local parks
Upgrade some old stores, invest in new stores
A 4 year university - working with Mendocino College to upgrade and/or look at Masonite Site.
There is eventually going to be a new courthouse on Perkins St. Is it too early to begin thinking about
how to re-purpose the existing courthouse? And the block with the library and City parking lot....how
could that become a vibrant part of our downtown, connecting the west and east sides of State Street
at Perkins once the new courthouse is in? Not to early to plan!!
develop mutual sharing of resources
Civic Engagement: incorporate local government into school curriculum and get kids involved early,
have local officials visit the classroom
Incentives for home owners to add on granny units
Cannabis Farms, Events and the tax opportunities they provide
Creative planning & zoning
Holding open forums for the community on the Palace Hotel as to what conditions are needed to
either eliminate or rebuild.
Incredible natural areas. We need to promote connecting to our open and natural spaces by bike and
foot.
Airport Land Use - Densities and land use limitations need to be expanded upon or allow for greater
flexibility
Build a homeless shelter that is designed for families only. Don't forget about the homeless school
kids. Check with the Ukiah Unified School District Office. They have a Liaison.
Set aside areas for future schools and medical facilities
Re-envision Alex Thomas Plaza as a gathering place not only for special events which seems to be the
current case but surrounded by cafes and restaurants for all day activity. Add a small play area for
children.

Identified Opportunities
support youth to be positively engaged in society - they are our future
Issue more building permits, allow the town to grow as prepare for more people to move into town
EV fast chargers non-tesla. Ukiah could become a stopping place for all long-range EV's to recharge,
not just Teslas. While the level 2's are good for folks working or spending extended time in town, a
few high speed chargers would entice long distance drivers to make a stop here and still spend a bit
hopefully.
I understand that annexation discussions with the County will resume. That is a huge opportunity for
the City to re-make Ukiah into an aesthetically pleasing and cohesive urban center.
Residential businesses: I would like to see new large businesses have a requirement for building
affordable residences on campus
Incentives for public to pick up trash
Increasing funding to Mendocino College
How can we not become another Bay Area commuting community
Setting a 95% tenancy of downtown buildings as a goal and setting guidelines on the number of
massage, nail, body building and hair salons allowed versus other businesses.
The Old Post office. Maybe it can become a community art and cultural center?
Services - Utility, Sewer and Water to areas that are beyond city limits
This is a sticky subject for Ukiah but a huge opportunity if curated properly. Since CA is embracing
cannabis and things are changing, explore teaming up with established medical centers or the UC
school system such as the Berkeley Cannabis Research Center or other campuses with medical
centers to study and explore the medicinal uses for Cannabis and CBD. Most of the reputable schools
already have started to explore this area of study. We are perfectly located in close proximity to farms
already. Why not capitalize on this and attract a medical facility? Take it all out of the dark and
capitalize on the positive health aspects.
Is it possible to consolidate things like the locations of medical offices? Would this help free up former
residential buildings? Will this make it easier for people to access medical care
support more nature engagement opportunities for youth
The Airport Business Park seems to be thriving. There is an opportunity there to direct some of those
revenues to the downtown to beautify it and promote the development of housing there. I hear from
many retired Ukiahans who want to sell their homes and exchange them for condos that are walkable
to downtown amenities. The opportunity is there, though I'm not sure what role government has
here beyond trying to promote and incentivize development. Seems like the private sector needs to
take off.
Rooftops: valuable space for energy efficiency and innovation, i.e. solar and rooftop gardens (would
also be great event space)
Increased support for trails, bike lanes, and other urban outdoor activities
Using our climate to our advantage, by using solar to become more energy independent (mitigates
issues with PSPS)

Require that any significant tree eliminated/lumbered/forested within the city that over 12 inches in
diameter must first be approved, and then be replaced somewhere in the city.
Our upcoming road diet! Maybe people will be able to compete with the fast and furious traffic of
State st.
Revised the UCC. Code should encourage and allow uses that the city wants and discourage land uses
the city wants to avoid. Code is dated
Does the current layout of our streets work? Could improvements be made? Could some streets be
extended or altered to make them work better (i.e. taking Hospital Drive straight through to Clara,
thus eliminating the dangerously sharp turn)
If we could only get that train moving again to bring more people and even commuters here to boost
the economy. Sonoma is doing it!
support holistic health - diet, exercise, environment, balanced lifestyle
Events: I really love the diversity and engagement in public events downtown-- keep up the great
work for the next 20 years!
Bring back Neighborhood watch programs
Increase Mendocino County wine brand awareness
Creating places for families and kids
Increasing community participation to develop a determined effort to increase school properties and
educational achievements.
Better interactive website. Including GIS look up, code look up. Search feature is broken.

Urban planning is a technical and political
process that communities use to guide
orderly development and resource allocation.
In 1971, the State made it mandatory for
every city and county to adopt a general plan
and required that local land use approvals be
consistent with the adopted general plan.
Ukiah’s current General Plan was adopted
in 1995. After 24 years, it is time to revisit
the General Plan to ensure that the policy
direction for the future is representative of
current community values and is responsive
to the changes of the next decade and
beyond. The Existing Conditions Workbook
is a snapshot of Ukiah in 2019, prior to the
Covid-19 Pandemic of 2020. While this is a
snapshot of 2019, some data may be older
based on availability of information.
This section provides an overview of the
Ukiah General Plan process, why it is
prepared, and why it is important.

What is in a General Plan?
A general plan represents the community’s aspiration for its future and establishes
the local government’s long-term framework for future growth and development. The
general plan contains the goals and polices upon which the City Council and Planning
Commission will base their land use and resource decisions. Typically, a general plan
is designed to address the issues facing the city for the next 20 years.
The general plan is made up of a collection of “elements,” or topics. There are
currently nine mandatory elements: land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open
space, noise, safety, environmental justice, and air quality. Communities can include
other elements that address issues of local concern, such as economic development,
community character, or urban design. Communities can also organize their general
plan anyway they choose, as long as they address each of the required elements.
A general plan has three defining features:
General – Provides
general policy
guidance for future
land use and
resource decisions.
Comprehensive – Covers a
broad range of topics, including
land use, housing, economic
development, infrastructure,
public safety, recreation, and
natural resources.
Long-Range – Provides guidance for
achieving a future envisioned 20 or
more years into the future.
What is the Existing Conditions and Trends Workbook?
This workbook tells the story of Ukiah – where it has been, where it is today, and the
trends that will shape its future. This workbook focuses on providing the foundational
information about the physical, natural, cultural, and economic conditions and trends
that sets the stage for updating the General Plan.

Page 219 of 585
What is the Difference between the General Plan and Zoning?
A general plan is distinct from zoning. Although both the general plan and the zoning
ordinance designate how land may be developed, they do so in different ways. A
general plan has a broad, long-term outlook that identifies the types of development
that will be allowed, the spatial relationships among land uses, and the general
pattern of future development. A zoning ordinance regulates development through
specific standards such as lot size, building setbacks, height, and allowable uses.
Under State law, all planning documents maintained, prepared, or approved must
be found to be consistent with the adopted general plan for the jurisdiction. This
relationship is illustrated on Figure 1-1. For land use, zoning is a key tool used to
implement a general plan. Zoning supports implementation of the general plan and,
therefore, must be consistent with the general plan. Upon adoption of the updated
general plan, a jurisdiction may need to amend the zoning ordinance and zoning map
to ensure consistency with the adopted general plan. Development projects must not
only meet the specific requirements of the zoning ordinance, but also the broader
policies set forth in the general plan.

Why Should We Update the General Plan?
Because the City’s current General Plan is more than two decades old, there are a
number of concerns that must be addressed through this update (Figure 1-2 and
below):
• To meaningfully engage the community. The General Plan is a pivotal
opportunity to bring the community together to learn and collaborate to define
a common vision and priorities for the future.
• To address major changes from the past two decades and prepare for shifts on
the horizon.
• To address new State laws (see next page for details).

History
Ukiah was incorporated into a city more than 140 years ago, and has existed as a distinct
community for more than 160 years. The history of Ukiah and the Ukiah Valley, and the
people who lived here, goes back even further. As Ukiah plans for the future, it is critical
to understand the past to help guide the future of the community.
Settlement and Early Growth, 1850-1920
Western settlers first settled in Ukiah in
the mid-19th century. In 1859, Ukiah was
designated the seat of Mendocino County
and was incorporated in 1876. During
Ukiah’s early history, the slow-growing
city remained relatively isolated. In 1889,
the railroad was extended to Ukiah and
the city became more accessible to the
region and country. Ukiah’s prime soils and
climate supported farming and agricultural
opportunities, which became a dominant
economic driver for the city. The dominant
crop during the early settlement period of
the city was hops.

Pomo People, Initial Settlement-1850
Before western settlement, the Ukiah Valley and
much of what is now Mendocino County, was
inhabited by the Pomo people. Known for their
intricate woven baskets, the Pomo primarily lived
in small groups and relied on hunting, fishing, and
foraging. With the arrival of western settlers, the
Pomo were driven off their land, their population
dropped dramatically, and they were eventually
forced onto reservations. Today, there are three
small reservations, called rancherias, in the Ukiah
Valley that are home to groups of Pomo.
The name “Ukiah” draws from the history of the
Pomo people. Ukiah is an anglicized version of the
Pomo word yokaya, meaning “deep valley.”

Page 223 of 585
The Growth Years, 1920-1960
Ukiah remained relatively small and
slow growing until the 1920s. In the
following decades, especially after
the end of World War II, the city grew
rapidly. This growth coincided with
the growth of the logging industry
in California’s northern coasts. The
redwood forests to the north of
Ukiah became extremely valuable for
lumber, and the logging industry in
the area grew rapidly supporting an
increase in employment and growth
in the region.
Today
Since the early 20th century, the logging industry has been
on a steady decline along the northern coast and other
industries have emerged. In 2020, Ukiah is the county seat
and largest city in Mendocino County. With both City of
Ukiah and County administrative offices within the city,
Ukiah boasts a large number of public sector employment
opportunities, particularly in education and social services.
Outside the public sector, the city is known for strong retail
and service industries and a bustling tourism industry
catering to travelers and adventurers looking to explore the
Valley.
Additionally, the city is surrounded by mineral rich
agricultural lands capable of supporting viticulture
operations. In recent years the region has seen an increase
in local vineyards opening adjacent to the city. The increase
in local wine production and processing reflects the
increasing popularity of the Ukiah Valley as a wine region
and destination.

Planning Area
As an important regional center in Mendocino County, the
City of Ukiah designed the existing (1995) general plan
as an areawide plan with a Planning Area encompassing
the Ukiah Valley. The resulting Ukiah Valley General Plan
(UVGP) included the city of Ukiah; the communities of
Calpella, Talmage, The Forks, Vichy Springs, Presswood,
Regina Heights, and El Roble; and goals, policies, and
programs that reflected a valleywide approach.
Following this effort, Mendocino County took the lead in
valleywide planning. Working with the City of Ukiah, the
County adopted the Ukiah Valley Area Plan (UVAP) in 2011
with the same Planning Area boundary as the previous
UVGP, shown below.
With the County heading long-range planning efforts in
the valley, the City of Ukiah may consider contracting
the Planning Area in order to refocus the general plan on
the incorporated areas of the city and areas likely to be
developed or annexed by 2040.

Regional Setting
Located 45 miles north of Healdsburg and
155 miles south of Eureka, the City of Ukiah
spans more than 3,000 acres (4.6 square
miles). The city is regionally significant,
serving as the seat of Mendocino County and
the largest city in the county. It functions as
a center for commerce, recreation, medical
and social services, and cultural events.
The Ukiah Valley is approximately nine miles
long, running north to south, comprising
more than 40,000 acres along U.S. Route
101. The Russian River follows the valley,
winding through agricultural lands just
outside of Ukiah to the east. The valley is
approximately 630 feet in elevation, with
the hills of the Mendocino and Mayacamas
ranges that flank the valley reaching up to
3,000 feet in elevation.
The nearest major city to Ukiah is Santa
Rosa, a city of 175,000, which is located
approximately 60 miles to the south. Larger
urban centers including San Francisco and
Sacramento are approximately 100 miles
to the south and southeast. Ukiah’s relative
isolation from major population centers
increases its importance as a regional
center. Closer to Ukiah, there are several
small unincorporated communities in the
Ukiah Valley, as well as in the neighboring
Redwood Valley to the north. Figure 1-3
shows Ukiah's location in the region.
In 2019, the region surrounding Ukiah is best
known for its natural and scenic beauty.
Once called the “Gateway to the Redwoods,”
the city is a short drive from some of the
largest redwood forests in California,
protected in parks like Montgomery Woods
and the sprawling Jackson State Forest.
These massive trees grow natively in the city
and on the hills above the valley.WHY IS THE PLANNING AREA IMPORTANT?
Although the County has legal land use authority over
unincorporated areas of the county, the City of Ukiah provides some
services outside city limits but within the Planning Area. As part of
the General Plan, the City must evaluate current services in these
areas and analyze the feasibility of future services.

2. DEMOGRAPHICS
This Demographics section includes an
overview of Ukiah’s population and provides
a look at the distribution of that population
by age and race/ethnicity. Information on
employment and income can be found
in Section 3, Economics and Economy.
Having an understanding of the makeup of
the population will support Ukiah in better
gauging the needs of its residents.
Approximately 16,000 people call Ukiah
home. Over the last few decades, Ukiah has
become younger and more diverse. As the
community looks to the future, Ukiah must
evolve to meet the needs of its residents,
both current and future.

Population
Over the past several years, Ukiah’s population has
remained relatively static, hovering around 16,000
residents (Figure 2-1). As of the 2010 U.S. Census,
Ukiah had 16,075 residents. In the following years, the
estimated population dipped just below 16,000, before
growing to an estimated population of 16,296 in 2019.
Although population growth projections specific to
Ukiah are unavailable, the California Department of
Finance estimates that Mendocino County as a whole
will grow by six percent by 2040, or an average rate of
0.3 percent annually. Between 2010 and 2019, Ukiah
grew at a rate of 0.15 percent annually. If the city were
to continue to grow at this rate, it would see about just
over three percent growth by 2040.

Age
Ukiah has a population that, overall, is decreasing in age.
The median age, based on 2017 American Community Survey
estimates, is 34.8 years old, down from 35.9 in 2010. Much
of this change is due to an increased percentage of young
adults between 25 and 35 in the city, indicating that young
families are moving to Ukiah. This is a major divergence from
countywide trends, which suggest, on average, a much older
and increasingly aging population. The median age in the
county in 2010 was 41.5 years old; in 2017 the median age was
42.4 years old. Ukiah also has a high percentage of working
age residents between 25 and 54, which combine to make up
nearly 42 percent of the population, as shown in Figure 2-2.

Race/Ethnicity
As shown in Figure 2-3, Ukiah’s racial demographic is mixed. While a majority of
the population identifies as White (57.3 percent), nearly a third of the population
identifies as Hispanic or Latino (32.7 percent). This differs from Mendocino
County as a whole where just 24.5 percent of the population identifies as
Hispanic or Latino.
Approximately 30 percent of Ukiah residents speak a primary language other
than English. Countywide, only about 22 percent of residents speak a primary

Recent Job Growth
Between 2009 and 2017, Ukiah added 671
jobs at a compounded annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 1.33 percent (Table 3-3). This
growth rate contrasts with the stagnant job
growth experienced in Mendocino County
(-0.37 percent CAGR) during this same
period.
Industries with the largest growth between
2009 and 2017 were: Agriculture, forestry,
fishing and hunting, and mining (232
jobs added); professional, scientific,
and management (201 jobs added);
educational services and health care
(286 jobs added) and arts, entertainment,
recreation, accommodation, and food
service (219 jobs added). The economic
recession of 2010 caused industries
related to housing construction and home
purchases to shrink during this period,
including construction (222 jobs lost),
wholesale trade (48 jobs lost); and finance,
insurance, real estate and rental and
leasing (51 job lost).
Projected Job Growth
The California Employment Development
Department provides employment growth
projections for regions throughout the
state. In the North Coast Region, which
includes Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, and
Mendocino Counties, the largest projected
growth between 2016 and 2026 is in

FIGURE 3-3: REVENUE FROM TAXES
Revenue
Table 3-4 shows revenues for the City of Ukiah in 2017. In that year, the largest source of
revenue for the city was in charges for service, which brought in more than $35 million
and accounted for 57 percent of annual revenues. Taxes were the next largest source
at 27.5 percent of revenues, followed by grants (6.0 percent) and licenses and permits
(3.9 percent).
Figure 3-3 shows City revenues from taxes from Financial Year 2013-2014 through FY 2021-
2022. The figure shows actual revenues for FY 2013-2018 and projections for years after this
period. In Financial Year 2017-2018, the City of Ukiah received $17,036,826 in revenue from
taxes. Between FY 2014-2014 and FY 2017-2018 the city's revenues for taxes grew at average
rate of 11.43 percent per year. Tax revenues have been rising steadily over the past several
years in Ukiah, reflecting the relative health of the city’s economy. The City's annual budget
projects revenue from taxes to reach $21,231,843 in FY 2021-22. Revenue from taxes makes
up between 25 and 30 percent of the total revenue received over time by the City of Ukiah.

4. LAND USE
Land use policies, plans, and ordinances
guide development and shape the urban
fabric of the Ukiah Planning Area. This
section provides a snapshot of local
land use patterns in Ukiah and examines
existing and planned land uses in Ukiah.
The section also summarizes regional
plans and discusses how these plans
influence land use within the city of
Ukiah.
234. LAND USE //
Page 240 of 585
Notable Boundaries
The existing General Plan uses several terms to describe the city and
associated planning boundaries (Figure 4-1):
• City Limits: The political boundary that defines land that has been
incorporated into a city. Ukiah has land use authority over all land
within its city limits.
• Sphere of Influence (SOI): The Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCo) establishes the Sphere of Influence (SOI),
which defines the probable physical boundary and service area
of a local agency. An SOI typically includes both incorporated
and unincorporated areas within which the City will have primary
responsibility for the provision of public facilities and services.
The mapped SOI for Ukiah does not reflect the amended SOI that
was adopted by the City Council in Spring 2020, as this boundary
is under consideration for adoption by LAFCO. Adoption of a new
SOI is anticipated by Fall 2020.
• Planning Area: A general plan, pursuant to State law, must
address all areas within the jurisdiction’s Planning Area. The
Planning Area encompasses all incorporated and unincorporated
territory that bears a physical relationship to the long-term
planning of the city. For Ukiah, the Planning Area is defined as the
area within both the city limits and SOI.
3,071 acres
40,913 acres
40,913 acres
WHY ARE THE PLANNING AREA
AND SPHERE OF INFLUENCE SO LARGE?
The 1995 Ukiah Valley General Plan, although serving as
the City's municipal general plan, was designed as an early
area plan for the Ukiah Valley. This effort established a large
Planning Area/Sphere of Influence, as well as goals, policies
and programs that reflected an areawide approach.
In 2011, however, Mendocino County adopted the Ukiah
Valley Area Plan (UVAP), a comprehensive and long range
inter-jurisdictional planning document that defines how
the Ukiah Valley will develop in the future. Although the
regional approach of the 1995 General Plan was a worthwhile
planning effort ultimately leading to development of the UVAP,
the General Plan should be updated to serve as the City's
municipal general plan focused on the incorporated areas
of Ukiah and areas likely to develop by 2040. Although not
required by State law, the General Plan Update will seek to
achieve consistency with the UVAP.

FIGURE 4-2: EXISTING LAND USE BREAKDOWN, CITY OF UKIAH
Existing Land Use
Critical to the preparation of the updated 2040 Land Use Diagram, is
an understanding of the type and distribution of existing land uses
and development in the city. Existing land use data is provided by the
County Assessors Office and based on the taxed use for each parcel.
The existing land use of a property does not carry any regulatory
significance and may or may not be consistent with the current General
Plan land use designation or zoning for the property. However, this
information can assist in evaluating if past General Plan policies were
effective in directing new growth and if development is consistent with
the General Plan.
Ukiah city limits consist of 3,071 acres. Figures 4-2 and 4-3 show that
over 33.1 percent of this area is comprised of residential development
(i.e., single-family, multifamily, mobile home parks). Public and Quasi-
Public uses, which include care facilities, churches, schools, shelters,
and government-owned property, make up nearly 18.7 percent of the
city. Commercial areas comprise 12.2 percent of the city and are
concentrated along Main and State Streets and near Highway 101. Parks
and open space areas make up 9.74 percent of Ukiah, which include
parks, the Ukiah Valley Golf Course, and trails. Figure 4-2 shows a
breakdown of existing land uses.

Existing (1995) General Plan Land Uses
Since 1995, the existing General Plan has served as a guide for how land in the city
may be developed. The General Plan, and associated Land Use Diagram, assign
each parcel a particular use and establish broad development policies that shape
distinct neighborhoods, districts, and corridors, while preserving open space, parks,
and public use areas. Land use designations identify the types of development (e.g.,
residential, commercial, industrial), the density for residential uses (how many units
are permitted per acre), and the intensity for commercial and industrial designations
(the maximum allowed building bulk and lot coverage) that is permitted on each
parcel. Figure 4-4 diagrams existing general plan land uses.
The current General Plan, adopted in 1995 and amended in 2004, includes nine land
use designations:
• Rural Residential: Permits residential uses up to one dwelling unit per acre.
• Low Density Residential: Permits residential uses up to six dwelling units per acre.
• Medium Density Residential: Permits residential uses up to 14 dwelling units per
acre.
• High Density Residential: Permits residential uses up to 28 dwelling units per acre.
• Commercial: Permits retail and service businesses, as well as residential uses up
to 28 dwelling units per acre.
• Industrial: Permits manufacturing and major employment uses.
• Recreational: Permits parks and other recreational uses in the city.
• Public: Permits public uses, including all land owned by public agencies, such as
schools, public utility facilities, and civic centers.
• Master Planned Area: The Master Plan Area land use classification is to be
applied to the parcels contained within a Master Plan or a Specific Plan at the
time of adoption by the City or County. The master plan area depicted on the map
represents the Airport Industrial Park.

Existing Zoning
While the General Plan provides general guidance on the location, type, and density/
intensity of new growth and development projects over the long term, the City's Zoning
Ordinance provides detailed development regulations and use standards for each parcel
of land. The Zoning Ordinance includes a set of zoning districts that specify uses that are
permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibited within each district. Figure 4-5 depicts
existing zoning in the city. Table 4-1, found on page 32, shows a breakdown of existing
zones.
Ukiah has 14 Zoning Districts, organized as follows:
• R1, R1H, R2, and R3 are residential zones ranging from low density hillside single-family
to higher density multifamily. Combined, these residential zones account for more than
49 percent of the area within city limits and the majority of the west side. Residential
land uses range in density from 1 du/ac in R1H to 28 du/ac in R3.
• Industrial and commercial zones are Manufacturing (M), Community Commercial (C1),
Heavy Commercial (C2), and Neighborhood Commercial (CN). Commercial zones are
generally situated immediately west of U.S. Route 101 and along North and South
State Street, and account for approximately 15 percent of city. Height restrictions for
commercial zones are 50 feet in Manufacturing zones, 50 feet in Community Commercial
zones, 40 feet in Heavy Commercial zones, and 30 feet in Neighborhood Commercial
zones.
• The Public Facilities zone (PF) includes City facilities, parks, and public land. PF is the
largest zone in the city, containing approximately 24 percent of the city, including the
Ukiah Municipal Airport. Building heights in the Public Facilities zone are restricted to 30
feet for park, school, and fairground buildings, and 40 feet for utility facilities and safety
structures.
• Planned Development zones exist within the city, one for residential and one for
commercial. Planned Development zones are intended to encourage development by
providing more flexibility than is possible through the strict application of the Zoning
Code requirements and allowing flexibility of design and the application of new
techniques in land development. Large Residential Planned Development sites can be
found at the intersection of Empire Drive and Despina Drive, along North Orchard Avenue
just north of Clara Avenue, and along South Orchard Avenue just south of East Gobbi
Street. Commercial Planned Development is comprised of a large area bounded by
Airport Road to the west, U.S. Route 101 to the east, and Talmage Road to the North.
See the Introduction section of
this workbook for a discussion of
the difference between a General
Plan and Zoning Ordinance.

• In 2012 the City adopted the Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) to encourage the
development of a healthy, safe, diverse, compact, and walkable urban community.
The DZC created three downtown-specific zoning districts, shown on Figure 4-6:
◦General Urban (GU) zone allows for mixed-use and urban residential uses in a
wide range of building types, from single use and single-family to a mix of uses
and multifamily. GU zone allows for residential densities between 10 and
28 du/ac.
◦Urban Center (UC) zone allows for higher-density residential and mixed-use
buildings that may accommodate retail, office, services, local and regional civic
uses, and residential uses. This zone has a tight network of streets with wide
sidewalks, regularly spaced street tree planting, and buildings set close to lot
frontages. The UC zones allows for residential densities between 15 and
28 du/ac.
◦Downtown Core (DC) zone allows the highest density and intensity of
development by allowing a wide variety of commercial and residential uses
located in mixed-use buildings. This zone has small, walkable blocks with
regularly spaced street trees and buildings set at the frontage line. The DC zone
allows for residential densities between 15 and 28 du/ac.
Table 4-1 shows the distribution of existing zones in the city of Ukiah.
Zone Acres Percent
Community Commercial - C1 203 .5 7 .7%
Heavy Commercial - C2 138 .4 5 .2%

Public Facilities - PF 638 .3 24 .2%
Single-Family Residential - R1 626 .0 23 .7%
Single Family Residential, Hillside - R1H 489 .4 18 .6%
Medium-Density Residential - R2 75 .1 2 .8%

Land Available for Development
The City of Ukiah 2019-2027 Housing Element identified vacant parcels and
underutilized sites available for development within city limits. The vacant parcels
inventoried in the process are summarized by the following:
• Ukiah has nearly 120 acres of vacant land available for development within the city
limits (Figure 4-7 and Table 4-2).
• The majority of vacant land in Ukiah is designated for residential development
(113.64 acres).
• With 5.17 acres of vacant land, commercial zones comprise much of the remainder
of vacant land in the city.
• There is one vacant parcel in a Neighborhood Commercial zone (0.41 acres) and
one vacant parcel in a General Urban zone (0.1 acres).
Underutilized Sites
In the Housing Element process (2019), the City used parcel improvement value data
from the County Assessor to identify underutilized parcels. Underutilized sites were
classified as parcels where the improvement value was less than $20,000, which
suggested that the parcels were underutilized to a degree that would make them more
likely to redevelop within the planning period. Figure 4-8 shows underutilized sites in
Ukiah. Underutilized and vacant parcels are considered opportunity sites for future
development or redevelopment.

Other Notable City of Ukiah Plans
Design Guidelines
Ukiah established design guidelines in two steps, starting in 1992, when the
City adopted Design Guidelines for Commercial Structures within the Downtown
District. This effort was followed by adoption of Design Guidelines for Commercial
Structures Outside the Downtown District in 1996. These design guidelines provide
recommendations on the form, rather than use, of structures in the city. The City does
not have design guidelines for residential structures.
Ukiah Municipal Airport Master Plan
The Airport Master Plan, adopted by the City in 1996, serves as a framework within
which individual airport projects can be implemented. The Master Plan summarizes
airport inventory, role and activity, and financial plan, and establish standards for
airfield design and building area development. Importantly, the Master Plan analyzes
noise and safety compatibility issues and provides compatibility measures for impact
mitigation.
Regional Planning Efforts
Mendocino County Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Adopted in 1993, the Mendocino County Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan
(ACLUP) established the criteria and policies which the Mendocino County Airport
Land Use Commission use in assessing the compatibility between the public-use
airports in Mendocino County and proposed land use development in the areas
surrounding them. The ACLUP established airport compatibility zones, later adopted
by the City of Ukiah Municipal Airport Master Plan, that cover the southern area of
the city and unincorporated parks of Mendocino County. The compatibility zones do
not change the underlying zoning, but place additional development standards to
ensure that uses in those zones are compatible with both the needs and impacts of
the airport. Table 4-3 describes the airport compatibility zones, which are shown on
Figure 4-9.
Currently (2019), Mendocino County and the City of Ukiah are in the process of
updating the ACLUP with an updated land use plan for Ukiah Municipal Airport. The
new ACLUP is expected to be completed in July 2020.

Ukiah Valley Area Plan
The Ukiah Valley Area Plan (UVAP), adopted by Mendocino County in 2011, governs
land use and planning of the unincorporated areas of the Ukiah Valley. Although the
document does not cover the city of Ukiah, it does establish land use designations
and development standards within the City of Ukiah Planning Area/Sphere of
Influence.
The UVAP planning area is depicted on Figure 4-10.

5. HOUSING
Housing is a critical component of health
and well-being in a community. Individuals
and families require safe, adequate, secure,
and affordable housing. The City of Ukiah
strives to achieve a balanced housing
stock that meets the needs of all economic
segments of the community. This section
provides an analysis of housing trends in
Ukiah today.
Section 65302(c) of the California Government
Code requires that the City of Ukiah adopt a
Housing Element as part of the General Plan
to analyze issues of housing availability,
affordability, and needs within the community.
In addition, the Housing Element seeks to set
goals, policies, programs and implementation
strategies to address those issues.
Unlike the other elements of a General Plan,
Housing Elements are required to be updated
on a State-mandated review cycle. City Staff
prepared a draft 2019-2027 Housing Element
Update for public review in summer 2019.
Following the public review period, Staff
prepared a new draft, which was adopted by the
City Council on October 23, 2019 and certified
by the Department of Housing and Community
Development on December 5, 2019. The data
presented in this section was extracted from this
updated Housing Element.

Housing Units
State law requires each city and county to plan for its “fair share” of the statewide
housing need. This fair share is calculated through a process called the Regional
Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). For the sixth cycle RHNA projection period from
December 31, 2018, to August 15, 2027, the City of Ukiah was assigned a RHNA of
239 units. Even after accounting for the difference in the number of years in this cycle
compared to the 2014-2019 cycle, the 2018-2027 RHNA is significantly higher (more
than 200 percent) than the 2014-2019 RHNA at 45 units. Based on the amount of
housing production expected by the California Department of Housing and Community
Development from 2018 to 2027, the city will need to create the conditions for
sufficient housing production to meet its regional need (RHNA).
The City of Ukiah has implemented a variety of incentive-based programs over the
preceding five years in an attempt to increase housing production for all economic
segments of the community. These include creation of a housing trust fund known
as the Ukiah Housing Trust Fund, creation of a new Housing Division within the
Department of Community Development, development and implementation of a new
(2017) Housing Strategy designed to increase production of affordable and middle-
income market-rate housing, as well as other programmatic strategies. The result has
been a significant increase in new housing construction starts, all of which are infill,
as depicted below on Figure 5-1. Due to these efforts, the City was one of 12 cities and
counties out of 538 jurisdictions in full compliance with housing production goals.

Vacancy Rate
Vacancy rates are an important indicator of housing availability. High vacancy rates
usually indicate low demand, and low vacancy rates can indicate high demand and/
or an inadequate supply. Generally, a “healthy” vacancy rate for single-family homes
is 2 to 3 percent, and 7 to 8 percent for multifamily, to allow for normal housing
turnover.
According to the 2010 Census, the overall vacancy rate in Ukiah was 5.3 percent,
including units vacant for seasonal or occasional use, rented and sold units that were
vacant, and other unclassified vacant units. The data shows that vacancy rates in
nearly doubled between 2000 and 2010, likely due to the slumping economy at that
time. As the economy has recovered, the vacancy rates have declined from 2000
levels, as shown in Figure 5-2. In 2017, the overall vacancy rate was 3.0 percent.
While the rental vacancy rate fell slightly from 3.7 to 2.8 percent between 2010 and
2017, the owner vacancy rate dropped steeply to just 0.2 percent.
Understanding that Ukiah has low rental and owner vacancy rates seems to be
a sentiment shared by the community. In 2018, the City conducted a community
housing survey and found that over 70 percent of respondents listed the number one
issue or barrier to obtaining suitable housing was “home/rent prices” (55 percent) or
“lack of available housing inventory” (17 percent). The City received similar comments
at housing workshops that the City hosted in March and April of 2019.

Housing Mix
The California Department of Finance
estimates that in January 2018, the
majority (55 percent) of the city’s
housing stock was single-family
detached homes. The second most
common type of housing was multifamily
(19 percent), which includes apartments
and condominiums. In 2018, there were
significantly less 2- to 4-unit complexes
or mobile homes (Figure 5-3).

Age of Housing Stock
If not properly and regularly
maintained, housing can deteriorate
neighborhood housing conditions,
decreasing property values and
impacting neighborhood pride and
quality of life. Typically, housing
over 30 years of age is more likely
to have needs for rehabilitation.
Over 90 percent of all housing stock
in the city of Ukiah was built in
1989 or earlier and is over 30 years
of age. Only 10 percent of housing
stock is newer, and until quite
recently very few new housing units
were constructed.
Homeownership
Home equity is the largest single source
of household wealth for most Americans.
According to a 2013 survey conducted
by the Federal Reserve, the net worth
of the typical homeowner was 36 times
that of the typical renter. The national
homeownership rate has risen from
around 40 percent before World War II
to 69 percent in 2005, before dropping
to 64 percent in 2017. In comparison, in
2017 just 42 percent of Ukiah residents
owned their homes (Figure 5-5). This
contrasts with Mendocino County, where
59 percent of residents owned their
homes, and with the nation as a whole,
where 64 percent of residents owned
their homes.
Please note: housing units were produced in 2010 and later that are
not recorded on the above Figure. This analysis included data only
from ACS for consistency purposes.

Housing Prices
Median home prices in Ukiah and Mendocino County have been steadily
increasing since 2012. The median home sale price in Ukiah in 2018
was $350,350, which was slightly less than the countywide average at
$358,800. According to Zillow.com, the 2012 median home price was
$211, 000 in Ukiah and $217,000 in Mendocino County.
Housing Affordability
Many households throughout the country struggle to afford decent
housing. While higher-income households have more discretionary
income to spend on housing, moderate- and lower-income households
are limited in the range of housing that they can afford. A “cost-
burdened” household pays more than 30 percent of gross household
income for housing and utilities, while a “severely cost-burdened”
household is paying more than 50 percent. For renters, housing-related
costs may be the gross rent (contract rent plus utilities), whereas for
a homeowner, housing-related costs may include mortgage payment,
utilities, insurance, and real estate taxes.
Table 5-1 represents overpayment data by income group for Ukiah,
which is based on data from the 2011-2015 HUD Comprehensive
Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS). Approximately 53 percent of
renters paid more than 30 percent of their income on housing compared
to 36 percent of owners. The households with the highest incidence
of cost burden were very low-income renters, of which 79 percent
overpaid for housing. Other high incidences of cost burden were
found with low-income renters and owners, of which 70 percent and
69 percent respectively, paid more than 30 percent of their income on
housing. Extremely low-income households, both renters and owners,
experienced the highest cumulative overall incidence of cost burden
(69 percent and 73 percent, respectively) for all income groups.

Overcrowding
The Census defines an overcrowded household as having more than one person
per room, not including hallways, kitchens, or bathrooms. Severe overcrowding is
defined as households with more than 1.5 persons per room. A high prevalence of
overcrowding can indicate a community does not have adequate supply of affordable
housing, especially for large families. Overcrowding also tends to deteriorate existing
housing stock more rapidly. Therefore, maintaining a reasonable supply of housing
and alleviating overcrowding is important for enhancing the quality of life in Ukiah.
From 2013-2017, Ukiah had a higher rate of overcrowding in owner-occupied
households at 6.3 percent compared to statewide rate of 4.0 percent (Table 5-2).
However, statewide, there was significantly more overcrowding in renter-occupied
housing at 13.3 percent compared to 2.9 percent in Ukiah.
Homeless Population
In 2018, Mendocino County contracted with Robert Marbut, Ph.D. to produce a report
on homelessness in the county. The report, titled “Homelessness Needs Assessment
and Action Steps for Mendocino County,” presented observations and findings, and
recommended a series of actions for addressing homeless issues countywide. This
report counted between 172 and 188 individuals experiencing homelessness in Ukiah.
Both the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors and Ukiah City Council adopted the
report, but most of the recommendations were primarily applicable to Mendocino
County because the County facilitates and oversees the existing services to address
homelessness.
Previously, the 2017 Mendocino County Point-in-Time (PIT) Count reported a total
of 1,238 homeless individuals in Mendocino County. This included 113 individuals in
an emergency shelter, 47 in transitional housing, and 1,078 who were unsheltered.
Of the total count, there were 824 males, or 67 percent, and 1,026 white persons, or
83 percent. The PIT count did not identify the geographic location of the persons
counted.

6. TRANSPORTATION & CIRCULATION
Ukiah’s transportation network and services
provide mobility for residents, employees
and visitors, and serve goods movement
throughout the Planning Area. It’s easy to
think of transportation as primarily the
roadway network, serving vehicles; but this
network also serves bicyclists, pedestrians,
and buses.

Roadway Classifications
Freeways. Freeways are Federally-designated highways that include
multi-lane, bi-directional traffic separated by a barrier or median, with
at least two lanes of traffic per direction. Access points are restricted
to sanctioned interchanges, and on-and off-ramp locations. These
roadways are under Caltrans jurisdiction.
State Highways. State highways refer to roadways with no control of
access, which may be divided or have grade-separated intersections.
The State highways in Ukiah consist of U.S. 101 and State Route (SR)
222. U.S. 101 is an integral north-south arterial, connecting Ukiah to
unincorporated areas and the greater Ukiah Valley, and spanning from
Olympia, Washington to the north and Los Angeles, California to the
south. SR 222, named Talmage Road along its entire length, is a small
east-west spur route off of U.S. 101 in Ukiah that ends east outside of
the city of Ten Thousand Buddhas. SR 20, at the northern end of the
Planning Area, is an east-west route that connects U.S. 101 with the
city of Clear Lake and Interstate 5 to the east.
Arterials. Arterials serve major activity centers, as well as neighboring
areas, and the highest traffic volume corridors to provide a network of
continuous routes that facilitate local and interregional travel. Arterials
in the city of Ukiah include East Perkins Street, East Gobbi Street, and
Talmage Road (east-west), and North State Street and South Dora
Street (north-south).
Collectors. Collectors provide local access to the overall roadway
network, channeling traffic from local roadways into the arterial
network. Important collectors in the City of Ukiah include Low Gap
Road, North Bush Street, North and South Main Streets, State Street
south of East Gobbi Street.
Local. Local roads provide direct access to neighboring areas and
primarily facilitate local travel. In addition to roads within city limits,
which are City maintained, and County-maintained roads in the
Planning Area, some local roads in the unincorporated areas of the
Ukiah Valley are maintained by private property owners.
Roadways
Roadways within the Ukiah Valley consist of a network of State and
Federal highways, as well as City and County-maintained local roadways.
The connections between these roadway systems play an integral role
in connecting the city of Ukiah and Planning Area to Mendocino County.
Figure 6-1 provides a map of roadway classifications in the Ukiah Planning
Area. Figure 6-2 shows roadway classifications within the city of Ukiah.

Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)
Figure 6-3 displays total VMT occurring on local roadways and State
highways between 2001 and 2017 in the city of Ukiah. As shown, the
total VMT has fluctuated slightly over time, with a decrease in 2015
followed by an increase in 2016 and 2017. Total VMT was at its highest
point of 289,216 miles in 2017.Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is a
measure used in transportation
planning for a variety of purposes.
It measures the amount of travel
for all vehicles in a geographic
region over a given period of
time, typically a one-year period.
VMT is calculated by adding up
all the miles driven by all the cars
and trucks on all the roadways
in a region. This metric plays an
integral role in transportation
planning, policy-making, and
revenue estimation processes
due to its ability to indicate travel
demand and behavior.
SB 743. In 2013, the State of
California passed Senate Bill
(SB) 743, which mandates that
jurisdictions can no longer use
automobile delay – commonly
measured by Level of Service
(LOS) – in transportation analysis
under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). Beginning
July 1, 2020, jurisdictions must use
VMT to analyze the transportation
impacts of a proposed plan or
project under CEQA.
WHAT IS VMT?
FIGURE 6-3: STATE HIGHWAY AND LOCAL ROAD VMT, 2001-2017
Figure 6-4 displays the combined local road and State highway VMT
within the city of Ukiah on a per capita basis using Department of
Finance population statistics. Between 2001 and 2014, Ukiah VMT
fluctuated slightly between roughly 16 and 17 daily VMT per capita. In
recent years, VMT per capita saw a notable decline in 2015, followed
by an increase in 2016 and high point of 18 miles per capita in 2017.

Ukiah residents overwhelmingly
commute alone by car, with a notable
minority carpooling (Figure 6-5).
Additionally, four percent of residents
work from home.
Figure 6-6 displays the distribution
of commute type, including single-
occupancy vehicles (SOV), carpooling,
public transportation, and working from
home, from 1980 to 2017. As shown,
SOVs have remained the most common
commute modes in Ukiah over the past
few decades.

How Long are their Commutes?
Figure 6-8 displays the commute
patterns by direction of home census
block to work census block. Though the
majority of Ukiah residents commute
less than 25 miles to work, nearly a
quarter must travel more than 50 miles
for work each day (Table 6-1). Those
traveling 50 miles or more typically
commute to areas southeast of the city,
such as Santa Rosa, Sacramento, San
Francisco, and Petaluma.

Active Transportation
Active transportation in Ukiah takes place on 9.1 miles
of bike lanes and an extensive sidewalk network, which
is particularly robust through downtown and surrounding
areas. However, there are several areas in the city that
have gaps in the sidewalk network that prove as potential
barriers for walking trips.
Historically, walking and biking has fluctuated over time as
shown in Figure 6-9, which displays walking and biking as a
percentage of total transportation between 2009 and 2017.
Walking, as a means of transportation, was highest in 2009,
preceding a fluctuation, then an upward trend from 2014
to 2017. Similarly, biking as a means of transportation has
also fluctuated, but has been decreasing following a peak in
2014.

Aviation Facilities
The Ukiah Municipal Airport, located at the south end of
Ukiah, serves the region as a public use, general aviation
(GA) facility, and is expected to remain as such throughout
the 20-year planning horizon. The City of Ukiah has owned
and operated the Ukiah Municipal Airport since the 1930s.
The airport has embarked on a program of improving the
infrastructure of the airport, including improving pavement,
repairing buildings, parking areas, and adding security
fencing. These improvements are expected keep the airport
viable for many years to come.

7. PUBLIC FACILITIES, SERVICES, & INFRASTRUCTURE
One of the core responsibilities of a City is
to ensure provision of public facilities and
services to its residents. Public facilities
and services contribute to the quality of
life for both individuals and groups in the
community. A key consideration in the
General Plan Update process is planning
adequate public facilities, services, and
infrastructure to accommodate future growth
and changes. This section presents an
overview of these facilities and community
services within the city limits.
617. PUBLIC FACILITIES, SERVICES, & INFRASTRUCTURE //
Page 278 of 585
Overview of Public Services
Ukiah is a full service City
Power. Ukiah has its own Electric Utility Department that provides service to
residents in the city and the surrounding environs. The municipally-owned utility
operates the Lake Mendocino Hydroelectric Plant, one of the city’s major sources
of electricity. The electric utility serves 6,100 residential and 2,100 commercial
customers and has sufficient capacity to meet power needs for the foreseeable
future.
Wastewater. Ukiah’s Department of Public Works provides wastewater collection
and treatment for about two-thirds of the city, and operates its own wastewater
treatment plant. A separate agency, the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District (UVSD)
serves the remaining portions of Ukiah, as well as communities in the SOI.
Operated by the City, one wastewater treatment plant serves both the City and
UVSD. The treatment plant has a current (2019) capacity to add nearly 1,603
equivalent sewer service units (ESSUs) before reaching capacity. One ESSU is
equivalent to 210 gallons per day of typical domestic use.
Solid Waste. Ukiah contracts its solid waste, recycling, and composting to a private
company, Ukiah Waste Solutions, which serves residents within the city of Ukiah.
The unincorporated areas of the Planning Area are served by Waste Management.
Solid waste is transported to the Ukiah Valley Transfer Station, located at 3151
Taylor Drive in Ukiah. The transfer station is designed to receive 200 tons of waste
per day, and currently receives an average of 120 to 130 tons per day.
Water. Ukiah’s Department of Public Works provides water, primarily sourced from
wells, to much of the city. Millview County Water District provides water to North
Ukiah, and an unincorporated area bordering the city to the north. Willow County
Water District provides water to South Ukiah and an unincorporated area bordering
the city to the south. Finally, Calpella County Water District provides water to the
community of Calpella. All four agencies are expected to adequately meet existing
and future demands for water, including in the event of a dry year or multiple dry
years.
Storm Drainage. The Ukiah Department of Public Works manages the storm
drainage system within the city. According to the 2012 Municipal Services Review,
the capacity of the stormwater drainage system is unknown. Much of the city’s
stormwater is conveyed by surface flow along the curb and gutter. There are
intermittent storm drains throughout the city; however, there is no central trunk line
for all of the storm drains to collect and convey stormwater to the Russian River.
Communications. Broadband and cellular services are provided to residents
and businesses from a variety of private companies, including national retailers
Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint.
Natural Gas. Natural gas service is provided by PG&E.

Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Response
Fire protection and emergency medical
response services are provided by the
Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA),
which provides service to approximately
90 square miles in and around Ukiah
containing a resident population
of approximately 30,000. Within its
boundaries are historic downtown
buildings, county governmental buildings,
Mendocino Community College,
Dharma Realm Buddhist University, a
regional hospital, and all residential and

for the lower half of Lake Mendocino,
including the Coyote Dam, expansive
wildland urban interface areas, the Ukiah
Municipal Airport, US 101, and State Route

UVFA is staffed by 19 full-time safety
employees (Fire Chief, 3 Division Chiefs, 6
Captains, 6 Engineers and 3 Firefighters),
one full-time administrative-clerical
employee, and up to 25 dedicated

WHAT IS A DISADVANTAGED
UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY?
A disadvantaged unincorporated community
is a fringe, island, or legacy community in
which the median household income is 80
percent or less than the statewide median
household income.
WHAT IS A FRINGE COMMUNITY?
A fringe community is an inhabited and
unincorporated territory within the Planning
Area.
WHAT IS AN ISLAND COMMUNITY?
An island community is any inhabited and
unincorporated territory that is surrounded
or substantially surrounded by one or more
cities or by one or more cities and a county
boundary or the Pacific Ocean.
WHAT IS A LEGACY COMMUNITY?
A legacy community is any geographically
isolated unincorporated community that is
inhabited and has existed for at least 50
years.
Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities
Pursuant to Senate Bill 244 Disadvantaged
Communities (Government Code Section
65302.10), the City must identify each
unincorporated island, fringe, or legacy community
within the Planning Area. Once identified, the
general plan must provide a description of each
community; a map designating its location;
an analysis of water, wastewater, stormwater
drainage, and structural fire protection needs
or deficiencies; and an analysis of benefit
assessment districts or other financing
alternatives that could make the extension of City
services financially feasible.
To be considered a disadvantaged unincorporated
community (DUC), a community must meet two
criteria:
• The community must be comprised of no less
than 10 dwellings adjacent or in close proximity
to one another.
• The median household income in the community
must be 80 percent or less than the statewide
median household income of $67,169. Eighty
percent of the statewide median household
income is approximately $53,735.
In order to identify DUCs, the City first identified
unincorporated areas within the Planning Area that
had a median income that was 80 percent less
than the State median (Figure 7-3). Next, within
the areas identified, the City identified groupings
of ten or more dwelling units that were in close
proximity to each other and that were also similar
in form to the density of residential areas typically
located in suburban and urban communities. After
identifying these potential DUCs, the City reviewed
each to confirm they matched the intent of the SB
244 analysis and that the digital data sources used
match current realities.
Through this identification process, the City
identified 11 DUCs within the Planning Area. These
communities are depicted on Figures 7-4 and 7-5,
and in Table 7-2.

8. OPEN SPACE, PARKS, & RECREATION
Parks and recreation provide many benefits
to a community, including economic, health,
environmental, social, and overall quality of
life. Open space also serves many important
recreational, natural resource, and cultural
purposes. It offers places for wildlife habitat,
wilderness protection, enhanced groundwater
quality, recreational use, historic landscapes,
and visual corridors. The Open Space, Parks,
and Recreation section outlines existing open
space, parks, recreation facilities, and access
conditions in Ukiah.
738. OPEN SPACE, PARKS, & RECREATION //
Page 290 of 585
Open Space
Despite abundant open space in the Ukiah
Valley, open space within the city is limited
to Ukiah parks (discussed on page 76) and
Low Gap Park, an 80-acre open-space park
operated by Mendocino County. Located just
across Low Gap Road from Ukiah High School,
Low Gap park includes formal recreation
facilities, including playgrounds, tennis courts,
and an archery range. The vast majority of
the park, however, is comprised of open
space with walking and hiking trails woven
throughout.
Branching from Low Gap Park, the City View
Trail winds its way through the western hills.
This approximately 1.5 mile long extension
to existing trails in Low Gap Park has been
designed by the Ukiah Valley Trails Group for
the benefit of the entire community. Intended
as a multi-use trail, for hikers and bikers alike,
it will offer breath-taking vistas of the Ukiah
Valley with an eye toward the preservation
and appreciation of native California flora and
fauna.
Within the Planning Area, open space
recreational opportunities exist within County
and Federal parks, as well as along the
Russian River.
Operated by Mendocino County, Mill Creek
Park is a 400-acre park consisting of several
separate parcels along Mill Creek. Located
outside the town of Talmage, the park is
situated in a narrow canyon at the foot of Cow
Mountain on the eastern side of Ukiah Valley.
Mill Creek Park is home to a mixed forest of
oak, madrone, bay, and other indigenous trees.
Mill Creek runs through the center of the park,
and there are several nature trails that lead
guests throughout the park's wooded hills,
treating them to wildflowers in the spring and
spectacular views of Ukiah Valley year-round.
There are two Federal open space recreation
areas within the Ukiah Planning Area: Lake
Mendocino and Cow Mountain. These areas
attract Valley residents as well as people from
throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
The Lake Mendocino Recreation Area
occupies 5,110 acres in the northeastern
portion of the Ukiah Valley, including the
vast surface area of the lake itself. Operated
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Lake
Mendocino is a multi-purpose reservoir,
offering day-use facilities, boat launching
locations, and overnight campground sites.
The 60,000-acre Cow Mountain Recreation
Area is located in the Mayacamas Mountains
and is managed by the Bureau of Land
Management. Approximately 1,296 acres of
this area falls within the Ukiah Valley and
is accessible from Mill Creek Road. Cow
Mountain offers back country recreation such
as hiking and horseback riding trails, hunting,
camping, and off-highway vehicle use.
The Russian River provides various
recreational opportunities, such as swimming,
fishing, inner tubing and picnicking. Public
access to the Russian River is only allowed
at specified public access points. There are
four public access points to the river near
the city of Ukiah: the City’s Softball Complex
in the northeast portion of the city, the Vichy
Spring-Perkins Road crossing, Riverside Park
located at the end of Gobbi Street, and the
Talmage Road crossing.
Agricultural Lands
The Planning Area is home to a number of
productive agricultural parcels and hosts
one of the largest concentrations of organic
farmers in the State. Agricultural land in the
plan area is predominately comprised of
vineyards and fruit orchards (primarily pear
and apple) but also includes other row crops
and pasture. Agricultural production has been
an important part of the area's economy for
generations and agricultural lands provide
a pastoral quality that helps define the
character of the Ukiah. There is widespread
public interest in preserving agricultural
lands. Open spaces within the Planning Area,
including agricultural lands, are shown on
Figure 8-1.

Water Quality
The City of Ukiah draws its water from the Russian River and three active
groundwater wells. Water derived from each well varies depending on
demand and the time of the year. According to annual water quality
testing reports, the City of Ukiah’s water quality is considered to be safe
and reliable. During emergencies, the City of Ukiah has the ability to
purchase water from neighboring water systems: Millview County Water
District and Willow County Water District. As of 2019, the City reported
that the water that it produces and distributes meets and exceeds State
and Federal standards for drinking water quality. These results are
published each year in the Annual Water Quality Report.
Water Recycling
Water recycling is reusing treated wastewater for beneficial purposes
such as agricultural and landscape irrigation, industrial processes, toilet
flushing, and replenishing a ground water basin (referred to as ground
water recharge). By providing an additional source of water, water
recycling can decrease the diversion of water from sensitive ecosystems,
decrease wastewater discharges, and reduce pollution. Recycled water
can also be used to create or enhance wetlands and riparian habitats.
The City of Ukiah has finished construction of its recycled water system.
Phases 1-3 are complete and produce recycled water for customers
including agriculture, industrial uses, and landscaping, including a variety
of municipal agencies. Phases 1-3 can return approximately two-thirds
of the plant's capacity to beneficial use. Phase 4 has been designed
and funding is being identified to complete this final phase. Phase 4 is
designed to subscribe 100 percent of the treatment plant's capacity.

Air Quality
Overall air quality in the Planning Area
is generally good when compared with
statewide and nationwide averages.
Similar to the rest of California, ozone
and particulate matter are the pollutants
of most concern in the area. Air quality
monitoring in the Ukiah area reports
particulate matter from 2015 to 2017 did
not exceed California standards for more
than eight days in a year. Ozone pollution
in the area has been well below the
average national and State thresholds.
Major pollution sources for the city of
Ukiah are transportation emissions such
as diesel particulate matter.
Biological Habitat
The City has protected several types of
oak species in an effort to revitalize the
neighboring oak forest. Protected tree
species in the city are black oak, blue oak,
coast live oak, cork oak, interior live oak,
oracle oak, Oregon oak, valley oak, white oak,
native California oak, California buckeye,
California bay, and California/coast redwood.
Trees on the protected species list include
designated landmark trees, trees in riparian
corridors, and trees planted as part of
mitigation efforts or conditions of approval.
Species listed as threatened or endangered
within the Planning Area include the northern
spotted owl, foothill yellow-legged frog, red-
bellied newt, chinook salmon, and steelhead
trout. Riparian woodland and riparian
forest along the Russian River (Figure 9-1)
provide habitat for naturally occurring plant
species including box elder, button willow,
blackberry, wild rose, wild grape, and coyote
bush. Wetlands within city limits are on the
Parducci Wine Cellars’ grounds.
Air quality issues following the 2018 Camp Fire
closed Mendocino County Schools and many
government offices.
This white oak in Todd Grove Park is one of the few
remaining large oaks in the park.

10. HAZARDS & SAFETY
Natural hazards in the Ukiah region are
similar to those in the greater northern
California area. Earthquake, wildfire, and
drought are of the highest concerns, as
well as an increased number of high heat
days and localized flooding.

Earthquakes
Earthquake severity is measured by the Modified
Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale. The MMI measures
ground shaking severity at a given site according
to damage done to structures, changes in the earth
surface, and personal accounts. An earthquake’s
ground motion is what will cause building and
infrastructure damage along fault lines. The MMI scale
is illustrated in the graphic on the right. Peak ground
acceleration (PGA) is used to measure earthquake
intensity by quantifying how hard the earth shakes in a
given location.
The closest fault zone to Ukiah is the Maacama Fault
Zone, which is approximately 2 miles east of the city
limits. In the event of an earthquake, Ukiah would
experience strong shaking (level of VI on the MMI
scale) with a peak ground acceleration rating of 80,
which would result in quick acceleration of the earth.
Such an earthquake can result in considerable damage
to poorly built or designed structures, and slight
damage to buildings designed to withstand severe
ground shaking. Actual damage caused is dependent
on the severity of the earthquake, the specific
buildings and infrastructure involved, and other various
factors. Figure 10-1 shows seismic hazards and peak
ground acceleration in the Ukiah Planning Area.
Liquefaction occurs when seismic waves pass through
granular soil, causing some of the empty spaces
between granules to collapse and can cause severe
damage to properties. It is the act of a soil’s behavior
becoming similar to liquid due to ground shaking from
an earthquake. During an earthquake, the area of Ukiah
is not highly susceptible to liquefaction; however, there
may be moderate risk of liquefaction along creeks and
rivers.
Maacama fault produced a reported 5.6 earthquake
in the Ukiah area in 1869 as well as an abundance of
microquakes in recent years.
Earthquake Hazard and Probability Maps produced
by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) show
that the entire population, all non-critical facilities,
and all critical facilities and infrastructure in Ukiah is
located within a violent shaking range (78-100 percent
acceleration due to gravity).
WHAT IS THE MODIFIED MERCALI INTENSITY SCALE (MMI)
MMI measures ground shaking
severity at a given site according
to damage done to structures,
changes in earth surface and
personal accounts.
In the event of a large
earthquake, Ukiah is expected
to experience an intensity of
VI on the MMI, which would be
expected to result in strong
shaking.

Wildfire
Regionally, the Ukiah Planning Area is near
other zones of high or very high wildfire
severity to the west, southwest, and
northwest, although there is less of a threat
from those areas because of their relative
distance from Ukiah. Brush fires in the area
are common during the summer but are
generally extinguished before developed
areas sustain much damage. While the city
is not in an area of high fire hazard severity,
Ukiah’s proximity to the Mendocino Range
does pose a threat of wildfire spreading
into the city where the range meets the
western portion of the city limits.
California law requires CAL FIRE to identify
the severity of fire hazard statewide. CAL
FIRE identified Fire Hazard Severity Zones
based on factors such as fuel, slope of the
land and fire weather. CAL FIRE assigns
responsibility for each zone to either the
State or a local jurisdiction. Fire hazard
severity zones near the city of Ukiah are
shown on Figure 10-2.
Previous large fires in the surrounding
area also posed a threat to the city of
Ukiah, such as the Mendocino Complex
Fire (Ranch Fire). The Ranch Fire began
off Highway 20 near Potter Valley just
northeast of Ukiah in the summer of 2018
and was not fully extinguished until the
beginning of 2019. The fire burned a total
of 410,203 acres throughout Mendocino,
Lake, Colusa, and Glenn counties.
Ukiah's geography and proximity to
wildlands puts the city in danger. The
State's Fire-Hazard Severity Map shows
the city is surrounded. In 2019, CAL FIRE,
Mendocino County, and the City of Ukiah
established fire breaks along the western
hills to prevent a catastrophic fire from
escaping the wildlands and traveling
through the city.
Droughts
California is susceptible to dry periods,
and times of extended drought are
likely to occur in the future. Drought is a
result of lower than average rainfall over
extended periods of time. Projections
show average annual precipitation in the
area could decrease from 39.6 inches
per year to 32.7 inches per year over
the next 20 years. This reduction in
rainfall would be worsened by a similar
reduction in Sierra snowpack in the
future, which provides much of the water
for California in dry summer months.
Droughts may therefore become more
prevalent in future decades and Ukiah is
likely to be affected.
Between 2011 and 2014, the State
of California experienced the driest
period in recorded history. The resulting
drought lasted from 2012 to 2017, dried
up wells, and killed millions of trees. The
California Drought Monitor designated
Mendocino County in a "severe drought"
in April 2013 and County Supervisors
declared a drought emergency by
January 2014. After nearly three years
of drought, the County was downgraded
from drought conditions in March 2016
following a series of El Nino driven
winter storms. Although most areas of
the State were out of drought conditions
by 2017, the State of California wasn't
declared totally drought-free until March
2019.

Extreme Heat Events
An extreme heat day is defined by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as any
day where temperatures reach above 90 degrees
Fahrenheit. Temperatures above 90 degrees
are associated with health risks especially for
seniors, those with respiratory concerns, and other
sensitive groups. Ukiah averages approximately
63 days of extreme heat annually , as well as
occasionally experiencing heat waves where more
than four extreme heat days occur consecutively.
Cal-Adapt projections show that the average of
both extreme heat days and heat waves in Ukiah is
expected to increase substantially, with an average
of 79 extreme heat days expected by the year
2040.
Flooding
Major flood-related concerns in the Ukiah Valley
include flooding as a result of heavy storms and
the potential failure of the Coyote Dam at the base
of Lake Mendocino. Ukiah is primarily susceptible
to flooding on the eastern border of the city limits,
although localized flooding may occur in other
areas. Areas within a 100-year floodplain have
a 1 percent chance each year of flooding, while
areas in a 500-year floodplain have a 0.2 percent
chance each year of flooding. The 100-year and
500-year floodplain extends the length of Russian
River from the northeastern city limits through
the southeastern city limits of Ukiah (Figure 10-
3). Areas within the city limits along Gibson Creek
and Doolin Creek are in the 100-year and 500-year
floodplain as well.
According to the Ukiah Valley Area Plan, in the
event of a hypothetical total dam failure, water
would flow north up the Russian River channel
to a point north of Highway 20 before stopping,
and south well past the boundaries of the Ukiah
Planning Area. The main channel of flooding would
likely follow U.S. 101 or State Street, whichever is
further west. In the southern portions of the Valley,
the Army Corps projects that most segments of
U.S. 101 south of Talmage Road will be under
water and that the community of Talmage would
likely have portions of its west side inundated.
Resiliency Efforts in Ukiah
Ukiah seeks to keep residents and assets as
safe as possible in the event of a disaster
through land use controls, hazard mitigation
and emergency response efforts, and
community programs. The City also works
with Mendocino County on a number of plans
and programs.
Resiliency efforts in Ukiah include:
• Participation in the Mendocino County
Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan
• Participation in the North Coast
Opportunities Disaster Preparedness
Training Programs
• Trainings for residents in Community
Preparedness and Resilience Skills
• Upgrades to buildings and infrastructure
to comply with building and fire codes
• Supporting the Mendocino County
Emergency Services Division
• Water conservation measures and
programs
• Support for and information on creating a
Family Disaster Plan for residents
• Fire breaks installed in western hills in
2019 by CAL FIRE, Mendocino County, and
the City of Ukiah
• Controlled burn days by CAL FIRE

Summary: The City Council will review the proposed Low Gap Road and Bush Street Roundabout project,
and provide Staff input for the future direction of this intersection.
Background: The City has worked with Mendocino Council Of Governments (MCOG) and Ukiah Unified
School District (UUSD) to find solutions to the traffic issues that occur in the AM Peak when school is in
session. The intersection of Low Gap Road and Bush Street has long-been a difficult, congested area during
peak hours, as identified in the City’s Citywide Circulation Study, adopted February 2007. A subsequent in-
depth study by GHD, “Ukiah Traffic Analysis for Schools and Surrounding Areas,” (Attachment 1) completed in
December 2020, recommends construction of either a roundabout or a traffic signal at the Low Gap Road and
Bush Street intersection:
“A single lane roundabout is recommended to improve circulation and reduce queueing. This improvement will
also reduce conflict points for pedestrians crossing the intersection, and reduce the crossing distance at any
one time (see Figure 2 of Attachment #1).
A traffic signal was considered at this location, but is not the preferred alternative at this time. Analysis of
traffic operations with a signal at this location is included in Appendix C of Attachment #1.”
Since the adoption of the Study, Staff has continued to explore improvements at this intersection, including
possible grant funding opportunities.
Project Funding History:
On December 7, 2015, the Mendocino Council of Governments (MCOG) Board adopted the 2016 Regional
Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP), which was developed using a Fund Estimate (FE) adopted by
the California Transportation Commission (CTC) in August of 2015. That FE provided no funding capacity for
new programming, and identified a funding shortfall in the early years of the five-year Statewide Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP) period. In response to that FE, the Mendocino County 2016 RTIP proposed
delays of many locally funded projects.
At the February 3, 2016, meeting Staff provided an update to City Council regarding the proposed amendment
Page 313 of 585
Page 2 of 2
to the MCOG RTIP project funding. Since then, there have been further developments in RTIP
funding. Funding for the various RTIP projects can be used only for the specified RTIP project. If an agency
decides not to use the funding for the specified project, then the funding is reprogrammed to MCOG or the
State for use on projects in other jurisdictions.
At the MCOG board meeting on April 12, 2016, Staff heard a presentation regarding the revision to the first
amendment of the RTIP. At the April 12th meeting, MCOG staff stated that funding (environmental, design,
and right of way) for the N. Bush Street and Low Gap Road roundabout has been restored to the 2016 RTIP.
However, the 2016 RTIP is being amended to delete the construction funding for the roundabout. Proceeding
with the environmental and design phases of the project will allow the City to fully vet the design and
functionality of the roundabout solution at this intersection.
Discussion: Since 2016, Engineering Staff has had several meetings with stakeholders and performed a
great deal of preliminary engineering to find a solution to the issue at this intersection. It is clear from initial
investigations with several private engineering firms that the allotment of design funds available for this project
is inadequate. Currently, there is $115,000 available for engineering and right-of-way. Engineering Staff has
determined that this amount should be $300,000. It is also clear that the traditional roundabout is not likely a
solution for this intersection. Engineering Staff has provided attachments (Attachment 2 and Attachment 3) for
examples of the likely solution for this intersection. The examples are “mini-roundabouts” discussed in a
technical summary provided by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) and a constructed example in St.
James Minnesota provided by the Minnesota DOT. This option, which utilizes more paint and less concrete, is
a less expensive solution (see Attachment 4).
Analysis from Engineering Staff has determined that the new construction costs are estimated to be
approximately $500,000. This shows that the gross project costs including Engineering and Construction are
in the neighborhood of the original grant amount of $896,000. However, the available funding is in the wrong
project phases. Engineering Staff has discussed this issue with MCOG Staff. These funding changes are
possible but require action by the California Transportation Commission (CTC). An application needs to be
filed immediately for these changes. Therefore, City Staff is seeking City Council authorization to submit an
application to the CTC for modification of funding related to the proposed project.
Recommended Action: Authorize Staff to submit an application to the CTC for modification of funding related
to the proposed project.

1.Introduction
The City of Ukiah Department of Public Works retained GHD to provide a comprehensive traffic
analysis of schools in northwest Ukiah and their immediate surroundings to identify safety and
congestion issues. This report presents existing conditions, needs, and recommended
improvements for walking, bicycling, and driving in northwest Ukiah.
1.1 Planning and Policy Context
This report builds on previous planning efforts in the Ukiah community, helping the City fulfill its goal
to improve the quality of life for residents by providing safer and better connected transportation
networks (City of Ukiah Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan).
Two intersections in the project area have already been identified or programmed for
improvements. New signal poles were recently installed at the intersection of North State Street and
Low Gap Road that include left turn signal heads and allow for an eight-phase cycle. The
intersection of North Bush Street and Low Gap Road has been identified as a potential roundabout
location, with $115,000 funded through the City’s Short-Range Improvement Program.
Recommended improvements draw from these and other existing plans, including the Ukiah Safe
Routes to School Plan and the Ukiah Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
Improving multimodal connectivity, particularly near schools, is an explicit goal in several local and
regional plans.
The Mendocino County Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program and City of Ukiah Safe Routes
to School Plan both seek to improve the quality of life for students by promoting physical activity
and improving air quality
The 2017 Mendocino County Regional Transportation Plan notes a need for intersection
improvements along North State Street in the study area, among other transportation
improvements
The 2017 Mendocino County Active Transportation Plan presents a regional framework for
improving bicycling, walking, and transit throughout the county
The City of Ukiah Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan includes policies and infrastructure
recommendations to improve conditions for bicycling and walking in the City and create a better
connected network for active transportation
The City of Ukiah General Plan Circulation Element and the City of Ukiah Citywide Circulation
Study provide objectives and policies related to level of service (LOS) and model existing and
future circulation and operations

2.Existing Conditions
2.1 Activity Generators
Public schools located in the project area include Ukiah High School, Frank Zeek Elementary
School, and Orr Creek School for Special Education. The Ukiah Adult School and Ukiah
Independent Study Academy are also located in the project area, but may have atypical
transportation patterns compared to other campuses.
The Ukiah Unified School District recently altered the schedule for many of the schools in their
district in an attempt to alleviate congestion by staggering start times.
In addition, several Mendocino County administration facilities and offices are located in the study
area. These include the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office, Juvenile Hall, and Probation Services;
Mendocino County Planning and Building Services; County Administration offices; and General
Services. These facilities are located primarily along the south side of Low Gap Road.
2.2 Existing Infrastructure
1.Street Network
The study area includes streets from local to arterial roadways. Regional access is provided
primarily by US 101. Circulation within the study area is provided by the following streets.
North State Street is a four-lane, north-south, undivided arterial roadway that runs between Low
Gap Road and Empire Drive within the study area. State Street is the primary connector between
northern and southern Ukiah.
Low Gap Road is a two-lane, east-west, undivided major collector facility that runs between State
Street and Despina Drive within the study area.
Despina Drive is a two-lane, north-south, undivided residential roadway that runs between Low
Gap Road and Empire Drive within the study area. Despina Drive currently has a speed limit of 25
MPH.
North Bush Street is a two-lane, north-south, undivided residential roadway that runs between,
Low Gap Road and Empire Drive within the study area. Frank Zeek Elementary School and the
Ukiah Adult School are both present along North Bush Street.
Empire Drive is a two-lane, east-west, undivided residential roadway that runs between Despina
Drive and North State Street. Empire Drive currently has a speed limit of 25 MPH.
2. Pedestrian Network
Sidewalks are present along all roadways in the study area, with no notable gaps in pedestrian
facilities. In some areas, utility poles, sign posts, and other obstructions reduce the passable width
of sidewalks below minimums required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These
Page 319 of 585
GHD | Final Report | 11176246| Page 5
obstructions were primarily observed in the project area on Low Gap Road and on North State
Street.
Marked crosswalks are provided along North State Street at the intersections of Empire Drive,
Bricarelli Drive, and Low Gap Road. Yellow school crosswalks are marked at the following
intersections:
North State Street and Mazzoni Street
North State Street and Magnolia Street
North Bush Street and Low Gap Road
North Bush Street and Arlington Drive
Midblock on Low Gap Road near the Mendocino County Jail driveway
Despina Drive and Low Gap Road
Despina Drive and Capps Lane
Despina Drive and Empire Drive
3.Bicycle Network
Class II bicycle lanes currently exist in the study area along Low Gap Road, Despina Drive, and
North Bush Street. Except for a segment of Low Gap Road west of North Bush Street, all streets
with bicycle lanes also have on-street parking.
At the intersection of North Bush Street and Low Gap Road, gaps are created in the bikeway
network when bicycle lanes on all approaches end 100 to 250 feet before the intersection.
4.Transit Network
Mendocino Transit Authority provides transit service on two local routes within Ukiah and three
regional routes that offer connections to nearby destinations. The Ukiah Unified School District also
operates eleven school bus routes within the community.
Transit stops in the project area are located near each school and along North Bush Street and
North State Street.
2.3 Existing Traffic Operations Analysis
1. Level of Service
Traffic operations are measured using “Level of Service” (LOS), a qualitative metric for traffic
conditions. Letter grades A through F are assigned to intersections or roadway segments and
represent progressively worsening traffic conditions. In general, LOS A represents free-flow
conditions with very little delay, and LOS F represents over-capacity conditions with long delays and
queues.
Page 320 of 585
GHD | Final Report | 11176246| Page 6
Mendocino County’s Ukiah Valley Area Plan establishes standards for acceptable LOS that apply to
multiple intersections in this project area:
For State Routes and all Mendocino County arterials and collectors, LOS D is acceptable
For local roads, LOS C is acceptable
The City of Ukiah General Plan includes interim standards for acceptable LOS that apply to this
project:
At signalized or all-way stop controlled intersections, LOS D is acceptable
At intersections with stop controls only on side streets, LOS E is acceptable, except where side
streets have very low traffic volumes and LOS F conditions may be acceptable
Six intersections in the study area were selected for analysis using existing traffic volumes,
intersection controls, and lane geometries. Table 1 presents selected intersection operations for AM
and PM peak hours under both school year and summer conditions.

TWSC 22.3 C 13.3 B 9.5 A 9.0 A
As shown in Table 1, three intersections were found to operate at an unacceptable LOS during the
school year:
North State Street and Empire Drive operates at LOS D due to high eastbound left-turn
volumes on Empire Drive
North Bush Street and Low Gap Road operates at LOS D due to low peak hour factors on some
movements
Despina Drive and Capps Lane operates at LOS D due to heavy school traffic on Despina Drive
making it difficult to turn off of Capps Lane
Page 321 of 585
GHD | Final Report | 11176246| Page 7
All study intersections currently operate at or above acceptable LOS during summer months, likely
due to the absence of regular school-related traffic.
Additional detail on this traffic operations analysis is provided in Appendix A. Traffic counts and
turning movements are documented in Appendix B, and model outputs are provided in Appendix C.
2.Queues
Due to the complex interaction between the pedestrians, vehicles, and school crossing guard at the
intersections of N. Bush Street & Low Gap Road, a SimTraffic analysis was performed to determine
the impact these various modes have on the circulation system. The SimTraffic model was modified
to better align with what was observed in the field. Due to the limitations of the program, the AM
peak hour queues reported in SimTraffic do not match the observed AM peak hour queues.
Table 2 presents the Existing School Year Queue Lengths in the AM and PM peak hours.

Westbound Through/Right 141 94
Southbound Left/Right 97 80
Queues are mostly acceptable, with the exception of the eastbound through lane at the intersection
of N Bush Street and Low Gap Road. The queues exceed the available storage of the turn pocket
for the northbound left lane during both the AM and PM peak hour, and for the eastbound left and
northbound right lanes during the PM peak hour.
Based on field observations, there are extensive queues at the above study intersections that were
not reflected in the modeled queue lengths. At the intersection of N. Bush Street & Low Gap Road
the eastbound, westbound, and southbound queues exceed capacity. This is largely due to the
Page 322 of 585
GHD | Final Report | 11176246| Page 8
number of pedestrians and the crossing guard. Despite the crossing guard only motioning to stop
traffic in two directions, the entire intersection would stop instead, bring all traffic to a standstill while
students crossed. This, coupled with slow decision-making at the intersection, greatly increased the
queue length compared to what was simulated.
At the intersection of Despina Drive & Low Gap Road, there was a consistently long queue in the
westbound direction. The queue in the eastbound direction did not appear until after the school had
officially started and is due to the vehicles that dropped off students at the school. The long
westbound queue is due to a combination of students crossing and slow decision-making at the
intersection.
2.4 Collisions
Collisions at the intersections in the study area were reviewed for the period of 2011 to 2017 from
both the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) and Transportation Injury Mapping
System (TIMS). The collisions during this period can be summarized as follows:
1. North State Street and Empire Drive: four injury collisions, three of which involved
pedestrians. One severe injury, two visible injury, one complaint of pain. There were also
three property damage only collisions.
2. North State Street and Low Gap Road: four visible injury and five complain of pain
collisions. In addition, nine property damage only collisions were reported.
3. North Bush Street and Low Gap Road: one property damage only collision.
4. Despina Drive and Low Gap Road: one severe injury just north of the intersection, and one
property damage only collision.
5. Despina Drive and Capps Lane: one visible injury, and two complaint of pain injury
collisions, both of which involved pedestrians.
6. Despina Drive and Empire Drive: one property damage only collision.
3.Needs & Recommendations
Recommended infrastructure improvements are described in the following chapter, along with a
summary of the challenge or concern that each improvement is intended to address.
Recommendations are organized by numbered locations that correspond to intersection numbers
from Table 1 and add additional numbers for other spot or corridor locations.
Figure 1 on the following page presents a concept-level overview of recommended improvements.
Where applicable, designs for individual recommendations are provided in additional detail. These
detailed concepts are also presented in Appendix D.

Improvements are being developed at this location as part of the North State Street Study Project.
2.North State Street at Brush Street
Improvements are being developed at this location as part of the North State Street Study Project.
3.North Bush Street at Low Gap Road
Challenges
Yellow transverse crosswalks are marked on all legs of the intersection, and all approaches are
stop controlled. On the northwest side of the intersection, a pedestrian refuge “pork chop” exists
between the southbound right turn and through lanes.
There is sufficient pedestrian traffic during morning and afternoon periods, and sufficient vehicular
traffic, to have a crossing guard stationed at the northwest corner of the intersection. The current
crossing guard typically crosses both the north east/west leg and the west north/south leg, waiting
on the “pork chop.” Morning and afternoon queueing have been documented.
Recommendations
A single lane roundabout is recommended to improve circulation and reduce queueing. This
improvement will also reduce conflict points for pedestrians crossing the intersection, and
reduce the crossing distance at any one time. See Figure 2.
A traffic signal was considered at this location, but is not the preferred alternative at this time.
Analysis of traffic operations with a signal at this location is included in Appendix C.

Challenges
Yellow transverse crosswalks exist on the eastern and northern legs of this intersection; a yellow
crosswalk with zebra markings is located on the western leg. All three approaches are stop
controlled. A single diagonal curb ramp exists at each northern corner, and a single perpendicular
curb ramp exists on both south corner.
The northwest corner, at the High School parking lot, allows for unconstrained turning movements
and provides enough room for right turning vehicles to pull alongside left turning vehicles.
Recommendations
A single lane roundabout is recommended to improve circulation and reduce queueing. This
improvement will also reduce conflict points for pedestrians crossing the intersection, and
reduce the crossing distance at any one time. See Figure 3.
Alternately, curb extensions and/or a traffic signal could be installed at this intersection. See
Figure 4 and Figure 5. Appendix C presents analysis of traffic operations at this intersection if a
signal were installed. Average delay would be reduced from 31.7 seconds to 26 seconds in the
AM peak hour and from 32.9 seconds to 22.7 seconds in the PM peak hour, coinciding with a
change in LOS from D to C for both AM and PM. Appendix E presents the signal timing sheet
for the signal alternative.

5.Despina Drive at Capps Lane
Challenges
Yellow transverse crosswalks are marked on all three legs of this intersection. Only the Capps Lane
approach is controlled with a stop sign.
There is a narrow gap in the school fence on the west side of this intersection which is heavily used
by students walking onto the campus. An unpaved path has been worn into the field.
Parents dropping off and picking up students also use this school access. Existing on-street parking
on Despina Drive provides a place for drivers to pull over while students enter and exit vehicles, but
can also create conflicts and visibility challenges for pedestrians crossing Despina Drive.
Recommendations
Install curb extensions on all corners of the intersection, including a large curb extension
spanning both crosswalks on the west side of the intersection. This will improve visibility
between drivers and pedestrians, reduce pedestrian exposure by shortening crossing
distances, and will discourage passenger loading and unloading in the intersection. See Figure
6.
Upgrade the existing marked crosswalks to yellow high visibility crosswalks. This will enhance
conspicuity of the intersection for oncoming drivers.
Improve the pedestrian gate and unpaved path to meet standards for ADA accessibility and
Class I shared use paths. Although bicycling is unlikely to be permitted on this path, these
improvements will provide a safer and more accessible path onto campus for pedestrians.
Paving the pathway will also support walking to school during winter months when rain may
make an unpaved path impassable.
6.Despina Drive at Empire Drive
Challenges
Yellow transverse crosswalks are marked on the east and south legs of this T-intersection. Only the
Empire Drive approach is controlled by a stop sign. A single diagonal curb ramp is provided on each
of the northeast and southeast corners, but no curb ramp is provided to access the sidewalk on the
west side of Despina Drive.
Existing on-street parking on Despina Drive provides a place for drivers to pull over while students
enter and exit vehicles, but can also create conflicts and visibility challenges for pedestrians
crossing Despina Drive at this location.
Recommendations
Install curb extensions at each end of the crosswalks on the east and south legs of the
intersection. This will improve visibility between drivers and pedestrians and reduce pedestrian
exposure by shortening crossing distances.
Upgrade the existing marked crosswalks to yellow high visibility crosswalks. This will enhance
conspicuity of the intersection for oncoming drivers.

7.Empire Drive
Challenges
Ukiah has few designated bicycle facilities, but Class II bicycle lanes exist on both Despina Drive
and Bush Street. The nearest east-west bicycle facility connecting these streets is Low Gap Road,
which may be uncomfortable for some bicyclists due to its higher speeds and traffic volumes.
Recommendations
Implement a Class III bicycle route on Empire Drive from Despina Drive to State Street. This will
provide a bicycle connection on a quiet, low-stress street for students traveling to schools in the
area.
8.Low Gap Road
Challenges
Class II bicycle lanes currently exist on Low Gap Road through the project area, which are relatively
narrow and offer little separation between bicyclists and traffic. The posted speed limit on Low Gap
Road is 30 mph, with the 85th percentile surveyed at 33 mph. Multiple schools, community buildings,
and businesses have driveway access off of Low Gap Road, which creates potential conflicts
between bicyclists and drivers turning in or out of driveways.
Recommendations
Upgrade existing bicycle lanes to Class II buffered bicycle lanes. This will improve comfort for
bicyclists by providing additional separation from moving traffic, and may have a traffic calming
effect by narrowing the width of vehicle lanes.
Highlight bicycle lanes with green markings where they cross driveways. This will increase
visibility of the bicycle lane for drivers and reinforce that drivers turning across the bicycle lane
must yield the right of way to bicyclists.
9.North Bush Street near Arlington Drive
Challenges
Yellow transverse crosswalks are marked on all three legs of this intersection. All three approaches
are controlled with stop signs. The west side of this intersection is a driveway providing access for
school buses to drop off and pick up students. The curb on the west side of Bush Street is marked
red and parking is prohibited within the intersection and approximately 50 feet to the north and
south.
In addition to the school bus driveway located at the Arlington Drive intersection, three other
driveways south of Arlington Drive provide access to the school’s parking lots. Each of these
creates a potential conflict with pedestrians walking along the sidewalk.
Page 333 of 585
GHD | Final Report | 11176246| Page 19
Recommendations
Install curb extensions on the west end of both crosswalks on the west side of the intersection.
This will improve visibility between drivers and pedestrians, reduce pedestrian exposure by
shortening crossing distances, and will discourage passenger loading and unloading in the
intersection while preserving bus access to the bus loop driveway.
Upgrade the existing marked crosswalks to yellow high visibility crosswalks. This will enhance
conspicuity of the intersection for oncoming drivers.
Mark yellow high visibility crosswalks across driveways. This will enhance visibility of
pedestrians for drivers entering or exiting driveways.
10. Ukiah High School Parking Lots
Challenges
Four driveways off Despina Drive and Low Gap Road provide access to staff and student parking
lots at Ukiah High School. Each of these creates a potential conflict with pedestrians walking along
the sidewalk and bicyclists traveling in bicycle lanes. A skate park located south of Low Gap Road
has created demand for a crossing from the school, but no crosswalk exists. This contributes to
students darting across the roadway.
In addition, vehicle circulation within the student and visitor parking lot at the corner of Low Gap
Road and Despina Drive is currently challenging at congested school arrival and dismissal times.
The high school has a mix of students who drive themselves to school and students who are
dropped off by a parent or other adult. Long queues form at the exit driveways, exacerbated by
queues on both Low Gap Road and Despina Drive that form at the stop-controlled intersection.
Within the parking lot, exiting drivers are currently funneled to routes that conflict with drivers
accessing drop-off areas. Large sections of curb are currently marked red and parking is prohibited,
contributing to underutilized curb space for drop-off that could facilitate smoother operations.
Recommendations
•Reconfigure internal parking lot circulation and student drop-off as shown in Figure 7.
•Mark yellow high visibility crosswalks across driveways. This will enhance visibility of
pedestrians for drivers entering or exiting driveways.
•Highlight bicycle lanes with green markings where they cross driveways. This will increase
visibility of the bicycle lane for drivers and reinforce that drivers turning across the bicycle lane
must yield the right of way to bicyclists.
•Mark a yellow high visibility crosswalk and install a rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB)
across Low Gap Road aligned with the pedestrian path on the high school campus and the
skate park. This will increase visibility of pedestrians crossing the road and encourage
crossings to occur at a single designated location.
•This configuration will result in a net loss of 53 parking spaces, which should be within the
typical amount of unused spaces in the lot on a daily basis.

Foreword
This technical summary is designed as a reference for State and local transportation officials, Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) Division Safety Engineers, and other professionals who may be involved in the design,
selection, and implementation of mini-roundabout intersections. Because experience with mini-roundabouts
is limited in the United States, the information presented here draws primarily upon guidance and experience
from other countries with reference to American guidance as appropriate. This technical summary explores the
unique characteristics of mini-roundabouts while reinforcing the need to apply the principles-based approach
common to all roundabout design. It provides readers with an overview of the key considerations for planning,
analysis, and design of single-lane mini-roundabouts.
Section 1 of this document summarizes the characteristics of mini-roundabouts. Section 2 presents benefits of
mini-roundabout intersections compared to alternative intersection solutions. Sections 3-6 provide an overview
of user, location, operational and design considerations respectively.
The information presented herein is a summary of principles outlined in the FHWA document Roundabouts: An
Informational Guide [1] and the forthcoming 2nd Edition [2] (hereafter referred to as the Roundabout Guide),
which is in progress at the time of this writing and due to be published in 2010. Specific considerations for
single-lane and multilane roundabouts are summarized in a separate FHWA document titled Roundabout
Technical Summary [3]. Figures are from the Roundabout Guide unless otherwise noted.
This publication does not supersede any publication; and is a Final version.

Introduction
Mini-roundabouts are a type of roundabout characterized by a small diameter and traversable
islands (central island and splitter islands). Mini-roundabouts offer most of the benefits of regular
roundabouts with the added benefit of a smaller footprint. As with roundabouts, mini-roundabouts
are a type of intersection rather than merely a traffic calming measure, although they may produce
some traffic calming effects. They are best suited to environments where speeds are already low
and environmental constraints would preclude the use of a larger roundabout with a raised central
island. Mini-roundabouts are common in the United Kingdom (U.K.) and France and are emerging in
the United States (including states such as Maryland and Michigan), Germany, and other countries.
This technical summary focuses on single-lane
mini-roundabouts. Because experience with mini-
roundabouts is limited in the United States, the
information presented here draws primarily upon
guidance and experience from other countries with
reference to American guidance as appropriate. This
technical summary explores the unique characteristics
of mini-roundabouts while reinforcing the need to
apply the principles-based approach common to all
roundabout design. It provides readers with an overview
of the key considerations for planning, analysis, and
design of mini-roundabouts.
The information presented herein is a summary of
principles outlined in the FHWA document Roundabouts:
An Informational Guide [1] and the forthcoming 2nd
Edition [2] (hereafter referred to as the Roundabout
Guide), which is in progress at the time of this writing
and due to be published in 2010. Specific considerations
for single-lane and multilane roundabouts are
summarized in a separate FHWA document titled
Roundabout Technical Summary [3]. Figures are from the
Roundabout Guide unless otherwise noted.

Characteristics of Mini-RoundaboutsSection 1:
A mini-roundabout is a type of intersection that can be used at physically-constrained locations in
place of stop-controlled or signalized intersections to help improve safety problems and reduce ex-
cessive delays at minor approaches [1]. Figure 1 illustrates the design features of a mini-roundabout;
these features are described further later in this summary. Mini-roundabouts generally have an
inscribed circle that is small enough to stay within the existing right-of-way (or within the existing
curb lines if adequate space is available). Mini-roundabouts operate in the same manner as larger
roundabouts, with yield control on all entries and counterclockwise circulation around a mountable
(traversable) central island.
Mini-roundabouts are distinguished from neighborhood
traffic circles primarily by their traversable islands and
yield control on all approaches, which allows them to
function as other roundabouts do. Neighborhood traffic
circles are typically built at the intersections of local
streets for reasons of traffic calming and/or aesthetics.
They typically are operated as two-way or all-way stop-
controlled intersections and frequently do not include
raised channelization to guide approaching traffic
into the circulatory roadway. At some neighborhood
traffic circles, left-turning vehicles must turn in front
of the central island, potentially conflicting with other
circulating traffic.
To help promote safe operations, the design of mini-
roundabouts generally aligns passenger cars on the
approach in such a way as to naturally follow the
circulatory roadway and minimize running over the
central island to the extent possible. Due to the small
footprint, large vehicles are typically required to over-run
the fully traversable central island (as shown in Figure 1).

Benefits of Mini-RoundaboutsSection 2:
Mini-roundabouts are emerging in the United States as a potential intersection type. They may
be an optimal solution for a safety or operational issue at an existing stop-controlled or signalized
intersection where there is insufficient right-of-way for a standard roundabout installation. Of course,
mini-roundabouts are not always feasible or optimal solutions for every problem. The benefits of
mini-roundabouts, and some constraining factors (derived largely from international experience,
particularly in the U.K., where mini-roundabouts were invented), are described below [4].
Motorists 3.1
As with other types of roundabouts, mini-roundabouts
can enhance the safety for drivers, including older
drivers, by:
Allowing more time to make decisions, act, and react; •
Reducing the number of directions in which a driver needs •
to watch for conflicting traffic; and
Reducing the need to judge gaps in fast traffic accurately. •
Attention should be paid to the placement of signs and
pavement markings to make them clear, visible, and
Compact size – • A mini-roundabout can often be
developed to fit within existing right-of-way constraints.
Note that mini-roundabouts are generally not
recommended for intersections with more than four legs.
However, in some cases there may be adequate spacing
between legs to allow for two closely-spaced mini-
roundabouts.
Operational Efficiency –• A mini-roundabout may
provide less delay for a critical movement or for an
overall intersection in comparison to other intersection
alternatives. However, as with all roundabout types, mini-
roundabouts do not provide explicit priority to specific
users such as trains, transit, or emergency vehicles.
Traffic Safety – • Mini-roundabouts have been used
successfully in the U.K. to improve safety at intersections
with known crash problems, with reported crash rate
reductions of approximately 30 percent as compared to
signalized intersections [5].
Traffic Calming – • Designed properly, a mini-roundabout
reduces speeds and can be implemented as part of
a broader traffic calming scheme. The low-speed
environment also enhances the intersection for non-
motorized users. However, mini-roundabouts cannot
provide the same level of speed reduction as their larger
counterparts and thus are less suited for roadways with
speeds exceeding 30 to 35 mph (50 to 55 km/h).
Access Management –• A mini-roundabout can be
used to provide efficient access to a new or existing
development. However, in the cases of large trucks and
other large vehicles, the diameter may be too small to
accommodate U-turn maneuvers that would be readily
accommodated at a larger roundabout.
Aesthetics – • In comparison to full-size roundabouts,
mini-roundabouts do not allow opportunities for
landscaping in the central island. As with comparably sized
traditional intersections, landscaping opportunities are
limited to the periphery of the intersection.
Environmental Benefits –• A mini-roundabout may
offer an environmental benefit compared to conventional
intersections through reduced delay, fuel consumption,
and vehicle emissions.
User ConsiderationsSection 3:
The various user types of a mini-roundabout have unique characteristics that should be considered
in the planning and design process. Some of the characteristics of four user groups—motorists, pe -
destrians, bicyclists, and emergency vehicles—are discussed here; a more complete discussion can
be found in the Roundabout Guide.
Page 409 of 585
FHWA | Mini-Roundabouts 5
Location ConsiderationsSection 4:
As noted previously, mini-roundabouts are an intersection form that may have some traffic calm-
ing properties. Because of their design characteristics, mini-roundabouts are most effective in lower
speed environments in which all approaching roadways have posted speed of 30 mph or less and
an 85th-percentile speed of less than 35 mph (55 km/h) near the proposed yield and/or entrance
line [6]. For any location with an 85th-percentile speed above 35 mph (55 km/h), the mini-round-
about can be included as part of a broader system of traffic calming measures to achieve an appro-
priate speed environment.
There are a number of locations where mini-
roundabouts are commonly found to be advantageous
and a number of situations that may adversely affect
their feasibility. As with any decision regarding
intersection treatments, care should be taken to
understand the particular benefits and trade-offs for
each project site.
Common Site Applications4.1
Mini-roundabouts can be used at existing intersections
to replace two-way stop control, all-way stop control,
or a traffic signal. Mini-roundabouts can improve
the operation of an intersection by reducing the
dominance of the traffic flow from one direction over
others, facilitating access and reducing delay to minor
street movements, and improving overall intersection
capacity [4].
Mini-roundabouts generally have a narrower range
of applications than other types of roundabouts. The
following applications represent some of the situations at
which mini-roundabouts may be advantageous (further
discussion can be found in the Roundabout Guide):
Space-constrained locations with reasonable •
approach speeds (30 mph [50 km/h] or less)
– Because mini-roundabouts require less space than
larger roundabouts, they may be a solution where a
larger roundabout will not fit, provided that speeds are
reasonable.
Residential environments – • Mini-roundabouts offer
a low-speed, low-noise intersection option that requires
little ongoing maintenance.
unambiguous to all users, including older drivers. Trucks
and other large vehicles can be accommodated at a
mini-roundabout by using mountable islands. Further
details on design vehicles are provided later in this
technical summary.
Pedestrians3.2
Pedestrians are accommodated at pedestrian crosswalks
around the perimeter of the mini-roundabout. The
splitter islands at mini-roundabouts typically do not
provide the same degree of refuge as those at other
roundabouts, thus typically requiring pedestrians to
cross the street in one stage (as with many conventional
intersections).
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that all new
and modified intersections, including roundabouts, be
accessible to and usable by people with disabilities. The
accessibility of mini-roundabouts to pedestrians with
vision disabilities has not been specifically researched
but is not expected to require treatments beyond those
provided for similar single-lane roundabouts. Further
discussion can be found in the Roundabout Guide.
Bicycles3.3
Mini-roundabouts are generally located in environments
where bicyclists are comfortable negotiating the
roundabout as a motor vehicle. In the event a bicyclist
desires to navigate the intersection as a pedestrian,
sidewalks and crosswalks are provided.
Emergency Vehicles3.4
Because of the traversable design of the central island
and splitter islands, emergency vehicles are unlikely to
have significant difficulty negotiating a mini-roundabout.
Page 410 of 585
6 FHWA | Mini-Roundabouts
Intersections with high delay –• A roundabout can
be an ideal application to reduce delay at stop-controlled
intersections that do not meet signal warrants.
Site Constraints4.2
Due to their smaller proportions, mini-roundabouts are
not suitable for all locations. Certain site-related factors
may significantly influence the design, requiring that a
more detailed investigation of some aspects of the site
be carried out. A number of these factors (many of which
are valid for any intersection type) are listed below:
High volumes of trucks will significantly reduce the •
capacity of a mini-roundabout, as trucks will occupy most
of the intersection when turning [1]. Additionally, high
volumes of trucks overrunning the central island may lead
to rapid wear of the roadway markings.
Mini-roundabouts are not recommended in locations •
in which U-turn truck traffic is expected, such as at the
ends of street segments with medians or other access
restrictions. However, in the expectation that U-turns are
likely to occur, the design of a mini-roundabout should
accommodate U-turns for passenger cars. Due to the
small inscribed circle diameter, larger vehicles may not be
capable of making a U-turn movement.
Locations with light volumes of minor street traffic may not •
provide a suitable location for a mini-roundabout. Major
street vehicles may become conditioned over time to
ignore the intersection control due to a lack of minor street
vehicles presence, which requires major street drivers to
slow and proceed cautiously through the intersection. One
rule of thumb used in the U.K. is to have at least 10 percent
of the total intersection volume generated from the minor
street [7]. Another measure used in the U.K. is that mini-
roundabouts should not be considered at intersections
with volumes below 500 daily vehicles on the minor street
[6].
Challenges for other types of roundabouts, including •
physical complications, proximity to significant generators
of traffic, and proximity to other traffic control devices
(e.g., signalized intersections, at-grade rail crossings) or
bottlenecks, etc., may make it politically or economically
infeasible to construct a mini-roundabout. These and other
conditions are discussed further in the Roundabout Guide
and in the Technical Summary on Roundabouts.
The existence of one or more of these conditions does
not necessarily preclude the installation of a mini-
roundabout. Experience in the United States is limited to
date, but there may be comparable conditions in other
countries where mini-roundabouts have successfully
overcome one or more of the conditions listed above.
To address these conditions, additional analysis, design
work, and coordination with affected parties may be
needed to resolve conflicts and help in the decision-
making process. In some cases, the conditions identified
above cannot be overcome, and another intersection
type may be more suitable.
Operational AnalysisSection 5:
Mini-roundabouts are generally recommended for intersections in which the total entering daily traf-
fic volume is no more than approximately 15,000 vehicles. While a mini-roundabout may perform
acceptably at higher volume locations, there has been limited experience for such sites in the United
States. Multilane mini-roundabouts have been used in the U.K. but are rare elsewhere.
Operational performance models for mini-roundabouts
have not been developed for U.S. conditions as of this
writing. The calibration to U.S. drivers of international
models, such as those from the U.K., has not been
determined as of this writing.

FHWA | Mini-Roundabouts 7
Mini-roundabout design applies many of the same
principles used for other types of roundabouts,
including:
Provide slow entry speeds and consistent speeds through •
the roundabout by using deflection;
Provide smooth channelization that is intuitive to drivers;•
Provide adequate accommodation for the design vehicles; •
Design to meet the needs of pedestrians and bicyclists; •
and
Provide appropriate sight distance and visibility.•
The Roundabout Guide and/or the Technical Summary
on Roundabouts provide more detailed design
guidelines [2, 3]. The remainder of this document
focuses on the design aspects and considerations that
are unique to mini-roundabouts.
Horizontal Design6.1
Mini-roundabout design applies many of the
same principles and details of the design of larger
roundabouts but with different emphasis areas.
Given that the central island of a mini-roundabout is
fully traversable, the overall design should provide
channelization that naturally guides drivers to the
intended path. Sub-optimal designs may result in drivers
turning left in front of the central island (or driving over
the top of it), improperly yielding, or traveling at excess
speeds through the intersection. The following key
horizontal design areas for considerations are highlighted
below: size, design vehicle, design speed, central island,
entrance line placement, and splitter islands.
Size6.1.1
A mini-roundabout is often considered as an alternative
to a larger, single-lane roundabout due to a desire to
minimize impacts outside of the existing intersection
footprint. Therefore, the existing intersection curb line
is a typical starting point for establishing the mini-
roundabout inscribed circle diameter. Mini-roundabouts
should be made as large as possible within the
intersection constraints. However, a mini-roundabout
inscribed circle diameter generally should not exceed
90 ft (30 m). Above 90 ft (30 m), the inscribed circle
diameter is typically large enough to accommodate the
design vehicles navigating around a raised central island.
A raised central island provides physical channelization
to control vehicle speeds; therefore, a single-lane
roundabout design is preferred where a diameter greater
than 90 ft (30 m) can be provided.
Design Vehicle6.1.2
The location and size of a mini-roundabout central
island (and the corresponding width of the circulatory
roadway) is dictated primarily by passenger car swept
path requirements. The island location should be at the
center of the left-turning inner swept paths which will be
near, but not necessarily on, the center of the inscribed
circle. The off-tracking of a large design vehicle should
be accommodated by the footprint of the central island;
meanwhile, passenger cars should be able to navigate
through the intersection without being required to over-
run the central island.
As with single and multilane roundabouts, it is desirable
to also accommodate buses within the circulatory
roadway to avoid jostling passengers by over-running
Design ConsiderationsSection 6:
The geometric design of a mini-roundabout, as with other types of roundabouts, requires the
balancing of competing design objectives. Roundabouts operate most safely when their geometry
forces traffic to enter and circulate at slow speeds. Poor roundabout geometry has been found to
negatively impact roundabout operations by affecting driver lane choice and behavior through the
roundabout. Many of the geometric parameters are governed by the maneuvering requirements of
the design vehicle and the accommodation of nonmotorized users. Thus, designing a roundabout is
a process of determining the optimal balance between safety provisions, operational performance,
and accommodation of design users. For these reasons, roundabout design techniques are difficult
to standardize, and there is rarely only one “right” way to design a roundabout.
Page 412 of 585
8 FHWA | Mini-Roundabouts
the central island. However, for very small inscribed
circle diameters, the bus turning radius is typically too
large to navigate around the central island while staying
within the circulatory roadway, thus requiring buses to
travel over the central island. The potential trade-off to
designing for a bus instead of a passenger car is that the
design may result in a wider circulatory roadway and
smaller central island.
Design Speed6.1.3
The location of the central island should allow for all
movements to be accommodated at the intersection
with counterclockwise circulation. Designing the central
island size and location to provide deflection through
the roundabout will encourage proper circulation and
reduced speeds through the intersection.
Central Island6.1.4
The central island is typically fully traversable and may
either be domed or raised with a mountable curb and
flat top for larger islands. Although painted central
islands are commonly used in the U.K., flush central
islands are discouraged in other countries to maximize
driver compliance. Composed of asphalt concrete,
Portland cement concrete, or other paving material, the
central island should be domed using 5 to 6 percent
cross slope, with a maximum height of 5
in (12 cm). Although fully mountable and
relatively small, it is essential that the central
island be clear and conspicuous. Islands
with a mountable curb should be designed
in a similar manner to truck aprons on
normal roundabouts.
Placement of Entrance Line6.1.5
The entrance line is integral to the
geometric design of a mini-roundabout,
and incorrect placement can introduce
undesirable driver behavior. Figure 2
illustrates one particular situation where the
design allows passenger cars to turn left in
front of the central island. In this case, the
combination of the intersection skew angle,
small size of the central island, small size of
the splitter islands, and large width of the
circulatory roadway makes it comfortable
for a driver to turn left in front of the central
island instead of navigating around it
introducing the risk of drivers taking this
undesirable action.
Two possible design improvements are illustrated in
Figure 3: (a) advancing the entrance line forward, or (b)
simultaneously enlarging the central island and reducing
the circulatory roadway width, with the entrance line
coincident with the inscribed circle of the roundabout.
For the option of advancing the entrance line forward,
the outer swept path of passenger cars and the largest
vehicle likely to use the intersection are identified for all
turning movements, and the advanced entrance line is
placed at least 2 ft (0.6 m) outside of the vehicle paths.
Skewed approaches are one particular situation where
advancing the yield line may be beneficial to discourage
vehicles from making a left-turn in front of the central
island. However, this may result in a reduction of
capacity, as advancing the yield line may affect yielding
behavior at the entry.
Splitter Islands6.1.6
As with larger roundabouts, splitter islands are generally
used at mini-roundabouts to align vehicles, to encourage
deflection and proper circulation, and to provide
pedestrian refuge. Splitter islands are raised, mountable,
or flush depending upon the size of the island and
whether trucks will need to track over the top of the
splitter island to navigate the intersection. In general,
Figure 2: Undesirable Design that Allows Left Turns in Front of Central Island
Page 413 of 585
FHWA | Mini-Roundabouts 9
raised islands are preferred over flush islands. The
following are general guidelines for the types of splitter
islands under various site conditions:
Consider a • raised (nontraversable) island if one or more of
the following conditions exist:
All design vehicles can navigate the roundabout without -
tracking over the splitter island area;
Sufficient space is available to provide an island with a -
minimum area of 50 ft2 (4.6 m2); and
Pedestrians are present at the intersection with regular -
frequency.
Consider a • mountable (traversable) island if:
Some design vehicles must travel over the splitter -
island area and truck volumes are minor; and
Sufficient space is available to provide an island -
with a minimum area of 50 ft2 (4.6 m2).
Consider a • flush (painted) island if:
Vehicles are expected to travel over the splitter -
island area with relative frequency to navigate the
intersection;
An island with a minimum area of 50 ft -2 (4.6 m2)
can not be achieved; and
The approach has low vehicle speeds (preferably -
no more than 25 mph [40 km/h]).
Figure 4 displays recommended longitudinal dimensions
for splitter islands at mini-roundabouts. In some cases it
may not be feasible to achieve the dimensions in Figure
4 due to narrow approach widths. Where necessary, the
islands may only extend between the entrance line and
the crosswalk. More details related to the design of the
pedestrian refuge area are discussed in the next section
on Pedestrian Design Treatments.
In some cases, sufficient space may be available to
provide a raised island within the pedestrian refuge
area, but does not extend fully to the entrance line. An
example of a raised island being terminated prior to
the entrance line to accommodate the design vehicle

is illustrated in Figure 5. If raised islands are
used, care should be taken to ensure that
they are visible to approaching motorists.
Pedestrian Design 6.2
Treatments
At conventional intersections, pedestrian
ramps and pedestrian crossings are typically
located near the curb returns at the corners
of the intersection. When converting to a
mini-roundabout, these corner pedestrian
crossing locations will likely require
relocation. The pedestrian crossing is
recommended to be located 20 to 25 ft (6.1
to 7.6 m) upstream of the entrance line to accommodate
one vehicle queue ahead of the crossing.
Where a mountable or raised splitter island is used, the
walkway through the splitter island should be “cut-
through” instead of ramped. This is less cumbersome for
wheelchair users and allows the cut-through walkway
to be aligned with the crosswalks, providing guidance
for all pedestrians, but particularly for those who are
visually-impaired. The cut-through walkway should be
approximately the same width as the crosswalk, ideally a
minimum width of 10 ft (3 m).
Sidewalk ramps are provided to connect to the sidewalks
at each end of the crosswalk. Wherever sidewalks
are separated from the roadway by a planting strip,
ramps do not need flares and instead can have curbed
edges aligned with the crosswalk, which provide
alignment cues for pedestrians with visual impairments.
A detectable warning surface consisting of raised
truncated domes, as required by the Americans with
Disabilities Act, should be applied to each ramp.
Where a minimum splitter island width of 6 ft (1.8 m) is
available on the approach, a pedestrian refuge can be
provided within the splitter island. In some cases, the
available roadway width may not be sufficient to provide
an adequate refuge area, in which case pedestrians
will need to cross in one stage. Where a pedestrian
refuge is provided, the refuge area must be defined with
detectable warning surfaces that begin at the curb line
and extend into the cut-through area a distance of 2 ft
(0.6 m). This results in at least 2 ft (0.6 m) of clear space
between detectable warning surfaces on a splitter island.
Detailed standards for detectable warning surfaces can
be found in the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG)
and through the U.S. Access Board [8].
Bicycle Design Treatments6.3
Since typical on-road bicycle travel speeds are
approximately 12 to 20 mph (20 to 30 km/h), the speeds
of vehicles approaching and traveling through mini-
roundabouts are similar to those of bicyclists. Bicyclists
are encouraged to navigate through a mini-roundabout
as if they were a vehicle. Where bicycle lanes are
provided on the approaches to a mini-roundabout, they
should be terminated to alert drivers and bicyclists of the
need for bicyclists to merge into traffic. One suggested
practice is to terminate the bike lane at least 100 ft (30
m) upstream of the entrance line, provide a 50-ft (15-m)
taper ending prior to the crosswalk at the roundabout
entry, and use a dotted bike lane stripe for the last 50 to
200 ft (15 to 60 m) prior to the beginning of the taper [1].
For a more detailed description of bicycle design
techniques, refer to the Roundabout Guide.
Sight Distance and Visibility6.4
The principles of sight distance and visibility at mini-
roundabouts are consistent with other roundabouts and
other intersections. Detailed guidelines for evaluating
sight distance and visibility are provided in the
Roundabout Guide [2] and the Technical Summary on
Roundabouts [3].
Vertical Design6.5
Mini-roundabouts should generally be designed to
be outward draining to place the central island at the
highest point of the intersection for maximum visibility.
This technique of sloping outward is recommended
primarily because it:
Promotes safety by raising the height of the central island •
and improving its visibility;

Promotes lower circulating speeds; •
Minimizes breaks in the cross slopes of the entrance and •
exit lanes; and
Drains surface water to the outside of the roundabout. •
This is consistent with most standard intersection
grading, where the high-point is located near the
center of the intersection and slopes towards the outer
curbs. Therefore, in most retrofit situations, installation
of a mini-roundabout would not necessarily require
significant grade modifications to the intersection.
Pavement Markings and Signs6.6
At mini-roundabouts, pavement markings and signs
work together to create a comprehensive system to
guide and regulate road users. Pavement markings and
signs are simpler at mini-roundabouts than at other
types of roundabouts.
The Federal Highway Administration has published the
2009 Edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices, which includes major revisions and additions
related to signage and markings at roundabouts. For
more detailed guidelines, designers
should refer to the 2009 MUTCD and the
Roundabout Guide [2, 9].
Pavement Markings6.6.1
Pavement markings for mini-roundabouts
are largely similar to those for other
roundabouts. However, because the
islands may be either flush or mountable,
additional pavement markings can be used
to improve the visibility of key features,
including the direction of circulation and
splitter islands. A sample pavement marking
plan for a mini-roundabout is given in
Figure 6. A wide white dotted line is used to
designate the entrance location, similar to
other roundabouts. Some optional features
include the following (not necessarily
shown on Figure 6):
Pavement marking arrows in the circulatory •
roadway in front of each entry to indicate
the direction of circulation;
Yield lines and/or legends; •
For flush splitter islands, an appropriate hatching pattern •
(e.g., a diagonal hatch similar to those used for marking
obstructions, such as those shown in Figure 3B-15 of the
2009 MUTCD [9]) within the splitter island envelope to
further emphasize the splitter island location;
Rumble strips or raised pavement markers within the •
envelope of a flush splitter island to discourage light
passenger vehicles from driving over top of the islands; and
Yellow color over the entire central island.•
If the entire center island is colored yellow, an anti-skid
surface is recommended to increase surface friction
and avoid slick surfaces, particularly for bicycles and
motorcycles. A textured surface that provides a visible
differentiation from the circulatory roadway and is
accompanied by a solid yellow line may also be used.
Note that vehicles overrunning a textured surface may
create additional noise, which may be perceived as a
problem in residential areas.
Signing6.6.2
The principal difference in signing at mini-roundabouts
compared to other roundabouts is that no signs can
Figure 6: Sample Pavement Marking Plan for a Mini-Roundabout
Page 416 of 585
12 FHWA | Mini-Roundabouts
be located within the fully mountable central island. As
a result, the Circular Intersection (W2-6) warning sign
is typically used on each approach in advance of the
YIELD sign. YIELD signs are typically placed as close as
practical to the entrance line and can be supplemented
with a Roundabout Circulation plaque (R6-5P). Advance
directional guide signs and exit guide signs are typically
unnecessary given the size of the mini-roundabout and
the nature of the approach roadways (generally low-
speed local streets). However, standard street name
signs should be used and are typically mounted on the
same posts as the yield signs (similar to conventional
intersections). Figure 7 gives a sample signing plan for a
mini-roundabout.
For splitter islands that are either painted or are fully
mountable, KEEP RIGHT signs cannot be used. KEEP
RIGHT signs may be provided for raised non-mountable
islands, particularly where a pedestrian refuge is
provided; however, care should be taken to ensure the
sign does not obscure the view of the central island
approaching the mini-roundabout. Some agencies
are experimenting with illuminated bollards to mark
splitter islands.
Lighting6.7
It is important that mini-roundabouts, including their
pedestrian crossing areas, be visible to
approaching drivers. Consideration needs
to be given to ensuring the intersection
is conspicuous at night, which may mean
providing additional street lighting. The
Design Guide for Roundabout Lighting [10],
published by the Illuminating Engineering
Society, is the primary resource that should
be consulted in completing a lighting plan
for all roundabout types including mini-
roundabouts. The Roundabout Guide also
provides a summary of lighting principles,
and the same principles for lighting
traditional intersections apply to mini-
roundabouts.
Landscaping6.8
Landscaping of mini-roundabouts is
minimal due to the traversable nature
of the central island and (often) splitter
islands. However, it is possible to provide
landscaping around the perimeter of the intersection.
Any landscaping that is provided should be designed
to minimize roadside hazards and to maintain adequate
stopping and intersection sight distance throughout the
roundabout.
Other Design Details and Applications6.9
More design details and applications of mini-
roundabouts exist than are covered in this technical
summary; however, some of the more notable
considerations are described below:
Right-turn bypass lanes –• Roundabouts and mini-
roundabouts can employ right-turn bypass lanes similar
to those used at conventional intersections. Bypass lanes
are designed either to yield to exiting traffic or to form
an additional lane next to exiting traffic (which may then
merge into the exiting traffic).
Access management – • Driveways in the vicinity of
roundabouts and mini-roundabouts may experience
restrictions in access similar to those in the vicinity of
signalized intersections. Mini-roundabouts may offer the
opportunity to include driveways as a curb cut or a fully
developed approach with splitter islands depending on the
volume characteristics and other factors.
Figure 7: Sample Signing Plan for a Mini-Roundabout
Page 417 of 585
FHWA | Mini-Roundabouts 13
At-grade rail crossings –• At-grade rail crossings
through or near a mini-roundabout introduce challenges
related to the control of the rail crossing itself, queue
clearance on the tracks, and the associated effects on the
mini-roundabout. Mini-roundabouts have been installed
near at-grade rail crossings in the U.K.
Evacuation routes –• Mini-roundabouts can be located
on evacuation routes by using similar manual control
treatments (e.g., flagging, police control) that are used at
other types of intersections. Vehicles are allowed to travel
over the central island, if necessary.
Bus stops –• Bus stops can be provided on either the
entry or exit side of a mini-roundabout. Bus stops should
not be provided within the circulatory roadway. Pedestrian
access to and from the bus stop, including the location of
the bus stop relative to the nearest crosswalk, should be
carefully considered.
Refer to the Roundabout Guide for additional
information on these and other topics.
CostsSection 7:
Construction costs for mini-roundabouts vary widely depending upon the extent of sidewalk modi-
fications or other geometric improvements and the types of materials used. In most cases, mini-
roundabouts have been installed with little or no pavement widening and with only minor changes
to curbs and sidewalks as shown in the example in Figure 8. Construction costs have ranged from
about $50,000 for an installation consisting entirely of pavement markings and signage to $250,000
or more for mini-roundabouts that include raised islands and pedestrian improvements.
A benefit-cost analysis may be useful for programming
purposes, as it is recognizes that not all of the benefits
and costs can be quantified by pure construction costs.
The safety, operational, and environmental benefits
of mini-roundabouts can be quantified
and compared to the initial construction
and ongoing maintenance cost over the
life cycle of the roundabout. Although
research is needed on the service lives of
mini-roundabouts in the United States,
they are likely to be comparable to the
intersections they replace, depending on
construction materials, weather conditions,
traffic conditions, and other factors. When
compared to signalized intersections, mini-
roundabouts are likely to have longer service
lives due to less maintenance. More detail
can be found in the Roundabout Guide.

Mini-roundabouts in Minnesota
Benefits of Roundabouts with
a Smaller Footprint and Lower Cost
By William Stein, P.E.The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), cities, counties, and the
consultant community have made great strides in utilizing a broader range of
intersection types to solve transportation problems in Minnesota. By the end of
the 2018 construction season, MnDOT and local agencies will have constructed
29 restricted crossing U-turn (RCUT) intersections, six diverging diamond
interchanges (DDI), two continuous Green T intersections,
and more than 100 roundabouts.

tation Engineers (NCITE) Summer

CASE STUDY
ATTACHMENT 3
Page 422 of 585
Early studies of mini-roundabouts in the U.S. indicate peak
hour capacity of about 1,500 entering vehicles per hour.
Capacity will vary based on the proportion of left-turn, straight
through, and right-turn demands from each approach. A higher
proportion of left-turn demand results in lower intersection
capacity. High right-turn demand results in higher capacity.
Shakopee—An Early Minnesota Success
The first mini-roundabout constructed in Minnesota at a location
with significant traffic was in Shakopee at the intersection of
Vierling Drive and Spencer Street (County Road 79). The pre-con-
struction intersection was All-Way STOP control with a four-lane
cross section on Vierling Drive and two-lanes on Spencer Street.
The intersection experienced poor operations, particularly in the
AM and PM peak hours, with backups as long as 6 minutes along
the north leg of the intersection during the PM peak.
Figure 1: Peak-hour conditions at the All-Way STOP before construction.
In 2012, Scott County and the City of Shakopee worked with
the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Office of Safety
Research and Development (R&D) to explore the feasibility of a
mini-roundabout at this location. Microsimulation traffic analysis
indicated that operations at the intersection could be dramatically
improved with a mini-roundabout.
The County and City moved forward with design and public
outreach and the mini-roundabout was constructed in 3 weeks in
June 2014, within the existing right of way (See Figure 2). Improved
traffic operations were evident immediately and confirmed through
video and traffic counts collected by the Office of Safety R&D as
part of a national study. The post construction data collection was
on November 19, 2014 shortly after some snowfall. The highest
15-minute count was 306 vehicles from 7:30 a.m. to 7:45 a.m.
(equivalent to 1,224 vehicles per hour [vph]). The highest hourly
vehicle count was 1,109 vph from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The long
queues on the north leg have been eliminated. The more efficient
operations also reduce fuel use and emissions.
Another innovative solution that has gained a foothold
in Minnesota is mini-roundabouts. There are currently eight
mini-roundabouts in operation with several others programmed or
in the planning stages.

Characteristics of Mini-Roundabouts
Mini-roundabouts are most often used on urban and suburban
collectors and should not be confused with small traffic calming
circles that are sometimes used on residential streets. They can
provide similar safety and operational benefits to standard
roundabouts but on a much smaller footprint—normally within the
area of the existing intersection. They are also more cost effective.
Costs vary depending on the site, but a general construction cost for
a mini-roundabout is around US$200,000. Standard roundabouts
can be $1 million or higher, particularly for multi-lane roundabouts
and roundabouts with significant approach reconstruction.
Characteristics of mini-roundabouts include:
Smaller size. The inscribed circle diameter is less than 90 feet.
Acquiring additional right of way is normally not needed.
Raised but traversable central island. A raised island provides
physical channelization to reduce vehicle speeds. But the island
is designed to be traversable, with no signs, landscaping, or
other vertical objects. This allows trucks and other large vehicles
to off-track over it, particularly for left turns.
Splitter islands at the roundabout entrance are also normally
raised, traversable, and free of vertical objects at the approach.
Mini-roundabouts are used in urban and suburban locations
where speeds are reduced. Most locations have speeds 35 mph or
lower on the connecting roadways. Some have been installed in
locations with 45 mph speeds.
Volumes of large vehicles should be relatively low at mini-round-
about locations. Transit corridors with large buses or busy truck
routes may not be the best site for a mini-roundabout.

St. James—Mini-roundabouts in a Constrained
Urban Setting
Two mini-roundabouts were constructed as part of an urban recon-
struction project along Mn Highway 4 in St. James. The context
is much different than the Shakopee location as the mini-round-
abouts are in a more constrained location through a small City
downtown area. The intersections were previously signal controlled,
connecting a street with a wide cross section and parallel parking
(See Figure 3).
Figure 3. One of the St. James intersections before construction with signal
control and a wide cross section.
Figure 2. Mini-roundabout at County Road 79 and Vierling Drive, Shakopee.
In addition to the operational improvements, pedestrian safety
was improved which was a particularly important community
goal with the intersection’s proximity to Shakopee West Middle
School and nearby residential areas. The sidewalk and trail network
around the intersection were fully connected. The mini-roundabout
geometry shortened pedestrian crossings and reduced conflict points.
Before and after video clips of the Shakopee mini-roundabout
are available from the FHWA—Minnesota Division, upon request.Downtown Aesthetics Concept

geometry at this location was challenging. The intersection has 5
legs, some significantly skewed, and the south leg of 4th Avenue
is slightly offset. There are two entry points in the eastbound
direction, one serving drivers on Washington Street and one
serving drivers on Military Road. Washington Street is one-way
on one side of the intersection and two-way on the other. The
pedestrian crossings were long and also skewed.
Figure 6. Difficult geometry and long pedestrian crossings at the Anoka
intersection.
Figure 7. Reconfigured intersection with mini-roundabout.
During development of this project, the District worked very
hard on outreach to the public and local elected officials. Several
options were explored with the City and the public prior to
choosing mini-roundabouts. The primary reasons for selecting the
mini-roundabout option included:
Reduced vehicle delay through the intersections compared to
signals or all-way STOP control.
Shorter pedestrian crossings.
The proven safety performance of roundabouts.
$600,000 lower construction cost compared to constructing
new signals.
On-street parking for adjacent businesses could be maintained.
Parking was maximized by incorporating back-in, angle
parking on one side.
A graphic of the proposed design, including aesthetic treatments
is shown in Figure 4. MnDOT and the City of St. James received a
$934,000 Federal Accelerated Innovation Deployment grant for this
portion of the project.
In addition to the more urban context, another challenge at this
location are agricultural trucks that use this section of Highway 4.
In addition to traditional design tools like AutoTurn, the District
striped out the geometry of the mini-roundabout design in a
parking area and tested it with a WB-62 truck and a school bus to
ensure that the design was feasible from that perspective.
The construction of the mini-roundabouts was completed in the
fall of 2017 (See Figure 5). A video on how to drive the mini-round-
abouts and use the back-in, angle parking can be viewed here: www.
dot.state.mn.us/d7/projects/hwy4stjames/howto.html.

The City reconfigured the intersection with a mini-roundabout,
shown in Figure 7, that introduced similar and more intuitive
approach geometry at each leg. Of particular note are the much
shorter pedestrian crossings that are perpendicular to the approaches,
which are especially beneficial near a heavy pedestrian location.
Intersections that are No Longer “Alternative”
Mini-roundabouts and several other less common intersection
types have been proven in Minnesota and should no longer be
viewed as “alternative” or “innovative.” Rather, they should
be viewed as standard designs that should be a routine part of
intersection control evaluation. In addition to roundabouts and
mini-roundabouts, RCUT, DDI, and continuous Green T intersec-
tions all fall into this category.
There are several intersection types that have not yet been tried
in the state that would have similar benefits. Signalized, urban
expressways with safety and operational problems are excellent
candidates for the Superstreet concept. The first signalized
RCUT is scheduled for construction in 2019 at the intersection
of Mn Highway 65 and Viking Boulevard in East Bethel. See this
website for excellent animations that were created for this project:
www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/projects/hwy65rci. Other intersection
types that would be good solutions at certain locations include
the median u-turn (Michigan Left) or thru-turn intersection, the
quadrant roadway, the displaced left turn intersection, and others.
Minnesota should continue to lead the way in using a broad
range of intersection types, including mini-roundabouts, to design
projects that deliver high performance at reduced cost. itej

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Update on Emergency Repair of the Yosemite Drive Water Main and Determine that Emergency
Conditions Continue to Require the Emergency Repair.
DEPARTMENT: Public Works PREPARED BY: Jarod Thiele, Public Works Management Analyst
PRESENTER: Tim Eriksen, Public Works Director/City Engineer
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Resolution 2020-63 Yosemite Drive Water Main Emergency Work
Summary: The City Council will review the status of the emergency award of contract to repair the Yosemite
Drive Water Main, to comply with Public Contract Code Section 22050.
Background: At their regular meeting of November 4, 2020, the City Council voted to adopt a resolution
finding that emergency conditions would not allow sufficient time to publicly bid the repair of the Yosemite
Drive Water Main. Please refer to Attachment 1 for a copy of the resolution.
The City Council awarded a contract to Wipf Construction under Public Contract Code Section 22050 to repair
the Yosemite Drive Water Main. That section allows such repairs without competitive bidding in an emergency,
if the City Council on a 4/5 vote makes specified finding. However, please note, that staff solicited quotes from
two additional companies before making the award recommendation.
Discussion: Under Public Contract Code 22050, Subsection (c)(1) the City Council is required to review the
emergency action taken on November 4th at every regularly scheduled meeting thereafter until the action is
terminated.
In reviewing the action, the City Council must determine whether the emergency conditions excusing
competitive bidding continue for the repair of the Yosemite Drive Water Main. It must make that finding by a
4/5 vote.
The water main, water services, and trench paving work are complete. The final work to reconstruct the
portion of the street damaged by the repeated water main breaks is anticipated to begin in the next couple of
weeks.
Recommended Action: Determine that emergency conditions continue to require the repair of the Yosemite
Drive Water Main without competitive bidding.

RESOLUTION NO. 2020-63
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH APPROVING PURSUANT TO
PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE SECTION 22050 THE EMERGENCY PROCUREMENT WITHOUT
PUBLIC BIDDING OF CONSTRUCTION SERVICES TO REPAIR THE WATER MAIN ON
YOSEMITE DRIVE
WHEREAS:
1.During normal operation of the City of Ukiah’s Water Distribution System, a portion of water
main failed repeatedly on Yosemite Drive; and
2.Without the normal operation of this water main, the City is unable to provide necessary and
immediate services to its residents which could lead to public health hazards; and
3.With damage caused to public property including streets, curb, gutter; and
4.With damage caused to private property including driveway aprons and driveways; and
5.The City Engineer estimates that it would take 120 days to develop plans and specifications to
bid the construction work required to repair the water main and damaged public and private
property, to advertise requests for bids, to award the bid and to commence construction and an
additional 2-3 weeks to complete the work; and
6.Under Public Contract Code Section 22050(a)(1) in the case of an emergency, the City,
pursuant to a four-fifths vote of the City Council, may repair or replace a public facility and
procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes, without giving
notice for bids to let contracts; and
7.Under Public Contract Code Section 22050(a)(2) before the City Council takes such action, it
must make a finding, based on substantial evidence set forth in the minutes of its meeting, that
the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids, and that
the action is necessary to respond to the emergency;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that:
1.Based on the foregoing recitals and information, the City Council finds that an emergency condition
exists that must be repaired to avoid public health hazards that could result, if the repair work was
put out for competitive bids in compliance with the procedures required by the Uniform Construction
Cost Accounting Act.
2.The City Council authorizes the procurement of construction services to repair the water main and
damaged public and private property without providing notice inviting bids.
3.The City Council authorizes the City Procurement Officer to contract with Wipf Construction to repair
the backwash basins at the WTP on the amount of $178,642.

4.Awarding a contract to repair the water main and damaged public and private property is
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act as
a Class 2 categorical exemption, because it involves the replacement or reconstruction of existing
utility systems and/or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of capacity. (14 CCR §15302.)
5.The emergency action taken by this resolution shall terminate upon the City Council’s approval of a
certificate of completion for the water main and public and private property repair work.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
This project combines two separate components: Downtown Streetscape and utilities. For purposes of
tracking project funding, the consultant’s invoices shall bill separately for the grant eligible and non-grant
eligible components.
This proposed project involves streetscape improvements along State Street from approximately 1000 feet
from the south side of Mill Street to the north side Gobbi Street and approximately 800 feet from the north side
of Henry Street to the north side of Norton Street. Specific components of the project include the following:
sidewalk widening, construction of curb ramps and bulb outs, relocation of drain inlets and pi pes, construction
of Low Impact Development (LID) storm water enhancement features, relocation of existing street lights,
installation of new street lights, installation of new traffic signals, installation of street furniture and street trees
and irrigation system and replacement of water and sewer systems.
Sidewalk Improvements
Sidewalk improvements are proposed on State Street from the south side of the Mill Street intersection to the
north side of the Gobbi Street intersection and the north side of the Henry Street intersection to the north side
of the Norton Street intersection. Sidewalk improvements are intended to address damaged areas, cross slope
issues and accessibility requirements, and would not extend beyond the public right of way or property lines.
Where new sidewalk, driveway and ramp improvements conform to private improvements at the public right
of way or property lines, temporary construction easements (TCEs) will be obtained for any work required on
private property. The widened sidewalks would accommodate new planter areas, street trees and irrigation,
tree grates, street furnishings (benches, recycling and trash containers, bicycle racks, signage, bollards, street
lights etc.), outdoor restaurant/café seating opportunities, and other street beautification and pedestrian
amenities. The width of new sidewalks is expected to be between 8 feet and 15.5 feet depending on the existing
right of way and property lines, and to provide consistency in width throughout the downtown area.
Curb Ramps, Bulb Outs and Medians
New ADA compliant pedestrian curb ramps will be constructed at intersection pedestrian crossing locations .
Specifically, intersections on State Street within the Project area will be retrofitted with bulb-outs at the south
side of Mill Street and at the north side of Henry Street and the intersections of Scott Street and Norton Street
as reflected in the Ukiah Downtown Streetscape Improvement Plan adopted by the Ukiah City Council. Bulb-
outs would extend out into the street 6 feet to 8 feet to reduce street crossing distances for pedestrians, slow
down traffic, and provide additional space for sidewalk, landscape and LID improvements. Raised medians are
also proposed on State Street south of Mill Street to north of Gobbi Street and south of Norton Street to between
Scott Street and Henry Street. The medians provide an opportunity for additional street trees and landscaping.
Relocation of Drain Inlets and Street Lights
Minor reconstruction or relocation of curb inlets and associated storm drain piping is expected to facilitate new
curb lines and for incorporation with LID features. The replacement and addition of streetlight poles is
expected along State Street to facilitate new sidewalk and bulb out improvements.
Road Diet and Lane Modifications
A road diet is proposed to be constructed on State Street between Mill Street and Gobbi Street and Henry Street
and Norton Street. The intent of the road diet improvements is to transform the existing four-lane State Street
cross section into a three-lane cross section with one travel lane in each direction and a two-way left-turn
Page 437 of 585
City of Ukiah Request for Proposals
Page 5 Downtown Streetscape & Utilities Project Phase 2
(TWLT) lane in the center. The TWLT lanes would transition to left turn pockets at intersections . The purpose
of the road diet is to maintain or enhance the State Street corridor vehicular capacity, reduce intersection
congestion by providing center turn pockets that allow left turning vehicles to move out of the main flow of
traffic, enhance pedestrian visibility and safety, and provide space for streetscape and p edestrian
improvements.
Signal Modifications
Signal modifications would be made at each of the three State Street signalized intersections in the project area
(Gobbi Street, Scott Street, and Norton Street) to provide vehicle detection, improve signal co ordination, and
replace signal heads to support the above described road diet improvements and new signal phasing and
timing. Traffic Signal replacement at the intersection of Scott Street and Norton Street will include all poles,
mast arm poles, signal heads, pedestrian facilities, cabinets and the installation of Iteris Vantage Next Camera
Detection System. The intersection of Gobbi Street will involve painting the existing traffic signal poles and
installation of Iteris Vantage Next Camera Detection System.
Paving and Markings
This project also proposes to rehabilitate the surface of State Street with new hot mix asphalt pavement
between Henry Street and Norton Street and Mill Street and Gobbi Street as well as new striping and pavement
markings to accommodate the road diet, transitions at the northerly and southerly project limits, and other
street improvements.
Utilities
Sanitary Sewer – Replace existing 6-inch sanitary sewer with a new 12-inch line for the entire project limits of
State Street, approximately 1,800 lineal feet, complete with new manholes, etc. In addition, new sewer laterals
with cleanouts are proposed for all services along the project limits.
Water Main Line –Abandon 2 existing 6-inch PVC water main lines and install one 12-inch water line for the
entire project limits of State Street for approximately 1,800 lineal feet, complete with new water valves, fire
hydrants, etc. In addition, new water and fire service lines with meter boxes and backflow devises (as required)
are proposed for all services along the project limits.
Electric, Phone and Cable – A Rule 20, joint trench to accommodate electric and communication facilities will
be designed separately by the City of Ukiah Electric Utility and provided to Consultant to resolve conflicts and
incorporate into final design. The Electric Utility will acquire any easements needed for its facilities. Consultant
will be responsible for identifying obstructions and obstacles between the Joint Trench Design and the
Downtown Streetscape and Utilities Design and resolving all conflicts. Consultant will also be responsible to
incorporate the Electric Utility’s Joint Trench Design into to the 30%, 60%, 90% and final design submittals.

RE: Proposal for Downtown Streetscape, Road Diet, & Utilities Project Engineering Design &
Right of Way Services - Phase 2
Dear Mr. Benson and Selection Panel Members:
GHD is pleased to submit the following Proposal for professional engineering design and right-of-way
(ROW) services for the Downtown Streetscape, Road Diet, & and Utilities Project - Phase 2 (“Project”).
We are privileged to be part of the transformative Phase 1 project, which marks a significant new chap-
ter in the successful evolution of the historic Downtown Ukiah corridor. Like Phase 1, GHD recognizes
the Phase 2 Project is much more than a roadway engineering project. It will create the northern and
southern gateways into the welcoming heart of Ukiah. This project will continue the growth and revital-
ization of Downtown Ukiah and will be the entry to the City core for decades to come.
GHD has supported the City on this Project since the planning stages in 2009, assisting with Caltrans
coordination, the environmental compliance process and other items. In Phase 1 our role extended be-
yond design, right-of-way and construction support, and included environmental and hazardous mate-
rials, Caltrans funding support and community outreach support. In Phase 2 we are prepared to con-
tinue to support the City as much or as little as needed to overcome challenges and take advantage of
the opportunities to develop a welcoming and timeless design and with the right level of community en-
gagement. To deliver on this promise we are bringing the same proven team from Phase 1 with some
adjustments considering the smaller size of this Phase. From our experience with Phase 1 we under-
stand how to address all the complexities and bring the expertise and availability required to successful-
ly complete the Project within the City’s schedule.
Our team will be led by Project Manager Jeremy Schmal, PE, with senior support from Principal in
Charge Matt Kennedy, PE, TE. Jeremy was the Deputy Project Manager under Matt in Phase 1. He
was a key design lead and has been very engaged in construction and the uncovering of previously un-
known information that can only be discovered once demolition and excavation occur. Jeremy brings
the management talents and the core engineering skills required to successfully deliver Phase 2 and in-
tegrate it with the Phase 1 improvements.
We have included mostly the same team of subconsultants from Phase 1, including WRT for the land-
scape and streetscape design, Cinquini & Passarino, Inc. for land surveying, and AR/WS for right-of-
way. GHD will perform all other civil, stormwater, utility and traffic engineering on the project. We have al-
so included CHS, a certified DBE, to provide an independent validation of the corridor traffic operations
to confirm lane geometry, queuing and operations. While not specifically requested by the City, we have
identified other optional or recommended services, which can be implemented as needed, including

geotechnical engineering, hazardous materials assessment, and utility potholing. Our goal with a broad
service offering is to have the capability to address all potential pitfalls and provide the City with options
to make the most informed decisions for the best outcome possible. This is a truly unique Project that
the entire GHD Team is excited to continue to work with the City on this important project.
Our proposal describes our team, experience, individual and collective qualifications. We also describe
our technical approach to the Project, and how we will provide an integrated utility design, address the
pavement rehabilitation, and engage with the City early in a design workshop to develop feasible con-
cepts that achieve the City’s goals. Our Team is experienced, truly committed and excited at the oppor-
tunity to continue working with the City on this transformational Downtown improvement project.
Sincerely,
GHD

GHD | Proposal for City of Ukiah: Downtown Streetscape, Road Diet & Utilities Project - Phase 2 | 3
Executive Summary2.
GHD has assembled the ideal Team for the Ukiah
Downtown Streetscape, Road Diet and Utilities
Project Phase 2. In addition to our extensive qualifi-
cations on similar projects, including Phase 1, as a
long-time partner of the City, we are truly commit-
ted to helping the City deliver the next phase of this
high-profile Capital Improvement Project. To illustrate
this commitment, our Team has already started on
planning and preliminary design with drone flights,
urban design renderings, property owner research,
and a contamination search. Understanding the im-
portant nature of the project and the City’s commit-
ment to revitalizing the downtown State Street corri-
dor, we have established an approach will enable the
City to achieve its goals.
The following are unique values GHD brings to the
City and are highlights in our proposal:
• Same team that delivered the Phase 1 project
on-time allowing the City to secure the funding
and stay on budget.
• Unmatched downtown road diet expertise along
the former Highway 101 corridor.
• Proven team on the delivery of comparable

Qualifications and Experience
The project requires a thoughtful approach and
a team with an outstanding track-record and ex-
pertise in the delivery of complete street/road di-
et projects - including within downtowns and city
corridors. Complete Streets, Green Streets, Smart
Streets, Road Diets, or by any other name, GHD
has provided municipal roadway solutions and revi-
talization projects for communities across Northern
California and is ready to apply that expertise on
the Ukiah Downtown Project. Our extensive experi-
ence of planning and design provides a “real world”
perspective when determining the optimal improve-
ments for your community and adjacent owners.
GHD is hopeful that, through our proposal and ex-
tensive qualifications, we illustrate our ability to pro-
vide the City with the most highly qualified team for
this Project.
Organization and Approach
With over 90 years in business and over 70 years
in northern California, GHD brings the strength and
stability of 10,000 staff across the globe with a local
presence. With eight offices in Northern California
and over 400 staff in the west, GHD has the resourc-
es and expertise to see the project through from de-
sign through construction.
GHD is excited to bring the same Team that deliv-
ered Phase 1 to the City, and to continue the part-
nership we formed into Phase 2. The composition
of the key GHD Team members and their roles:
GHD - Prime, PM, Civil, Traffic, Environmental,
Electrical, Structural, Utilities, CTC/CT Processing;
CHS - Traffic Advisory and Traffic QA/QC; WRT
- Landscape Architecture, Irrigation, Outreach
Materials; AR/WS - Right-of-Way (ROW) Consulting;
C&P - Topography Survey, ROW Survey, ROW
Legals. This is an established Team - members of
this Team have worked together for over 15 years,
including the delivery of multiple similar downtown
projects.
Our team will be led by a proven, dual-licensed
PE/TE Principal-in-Charge, Matt Kennedy and
Project Manager, Jeremy Schmal, PE, who both
have recently completed relevant road projects for
the City that have included pedestrian improve-
ments, utilities, traffic signals, LID and other com-
mon elements.
Our project management approach includes early
stakeholder meetings, outreach to adjacent proper-
ty owners, and continual communication across the

Team and with the City. We will hold regular meet-
ings to review key elements of the project and to
keep the critical path in view at all times.
Scope of Work (and Technical
Approach)
GHD’s Team has delivered multiple projects similar
to the Ukiah Downtown Project, namely the City’s
Downtown Streetscape Phase 1. Through this ex-
perience, we have developed a comprehensive, de-
tailed scope of work to deliver this high-profile proj-
ect on time. We have established a list of the mile-
stone deliverables to ensure a coordinated project
delivery.
Visualizing the transformation: The improvements
to these segments of State Street will continue the
transformation of Ukiah’s Downtown. Our Team has
already flown the corridor with a drone and created
a birds-eye visualization. Continuing the streetscape
design process, widened sidewalks, lane reductions,
new street trees, high-visibility crosswalks, deco-
rative paving, and corner seating in bulb-outs are
shown.
The project team will utilize the lessons learned
during the design of Phase 1 to immediately hit the
ground running on the project. After the kick-off, we
are excited to explore different design elements that
can be incorporated into Phase 2 that may not have
fit in Phase 1, but also to continue the designs vet-
ted as part of the Phase 1 project. These design el-
ements include asphalt stamped/colored paving,
unique LID stormwater treatment areas, pedestri-
an-scaled decorative streetlights, identity features,
raised medians, and expanded architectural features.
We will prepare additional graphics to communicate
the design ideas for use in public outreach efforts.
We propose to hold an initial scoping meeting with
the City to review opportunities to reduce the cost
of the project and shorten the schedule. For exam-
ple, we would consider the use of “Permits to Enter”
as an alternative to conventional TCEs as was do-
ne during Phase 1. Our right of way consultant, AR/
WS secured approval early from Caltrans Local
Assistance and was able to save substantial time and
money securing the right to construct the conforms
on private land. Other anticipated technical challeng-
es are similar to Phase 1 and the team will evaluate
the solutions used in that project to determine if the
challenges can be overcome with similar improve-
ments. Our approach is to formulate and discuss in-
novative ideas to each problem as early as possible
and partner with the City to arrive at solutions that
address as many concerns as possible without com-
promising on the City’s goal for welcoming northern
and southern entries into the downtown area.
Schedule, COI, Litigation,
PSA, Federal Aid
GHD will initiate the project and advance work as
quickly as possible to keep the project schedule and
milestone deadlines on track.
GHD does not have a conflict of interest for the proj-
ect. Additionally, GHD has worked with the City on
numerous projects and is confident that we can
agree to terms on project contracting. GHD has pro-
vided all the requested Federal forms in the RFP; we
propose to review other Federal forms that may be
required with the City. We also included expertise in
federal funding requirements and grants manage-
ment assistance should the City have this need.
Team Commitment
GHD is thankful to the City of Ukiah for this oppor-
tunity and extends our Team’s highest commitment
to the delivery of this exciting project. Though ap-
proach and qualifications are paramount to the proj-
ect, we recognize that commitment is the intangible
component that drives a successful project.

GHD | Proposal for City of Ukiah: Downtown Streetscape, Road Diet & Utilities Project - Phase 2 | 7
The Right Team
For over 60 years, GHD has been active in the de-
sign and development of numerous high-visibility
fast-track CIP projects in Northern California. We are
a recognized leader in the design of multi-discipline
infrastructure projects. Sensitive to community and
agency concerns, we offer strong project manage-
ment to keep projects on schedule and within bud-
get. GHD’s “total project” expertise and service-ori-
ented approach will be vital to the team-oriented ap-
proach to this project.
The projects listed in this section demonstrate the
technical capabilities and experience of our proj-
ect team’s work similar to the City’s Downtown
Streetscape, Road Diet and Utilities Project Phase 2.
They illustrate our ability to address complex issues
and demonstrate our history of working as a collab-
orative team. Client references are included within
the detailed project descriptions and on page 13.
GHD has completed over 50 streetscape improve-
ment projects across California. In particular, GHD
has successfully delivered numerous similar former
Caltrans-funded corridor redevelopments and revi-
talization projects. This specific expertise affords us
a unique understanding of the inherent design and
management elements in a project of this nature,
including potential challenges and opportunities.
These challenges and opportunities have led GHD
to develop various innovative solutions and resulted
in improved project outcomes.
While straightforward in concept, we recognize that
this project is complex at the management, detailed
design, and construction levels. We have done it
successfully for the City before, and have an estab-
lished and proven project approach that proactively
address project issues before they become prob-
lematic, infuses innovative solutions, and helps lead
the City to successful project delivery.
GHD’s projects performed in California, summarize
the depth and breadth of our relevant experience.
Collectively, our extensive state-wide experience,
united with a local team, provides the City with the
assurance that the final project will, most important-
ly, be designed appropriately to promote safety and
functionality, but will also be designed to reflect and
enhance the City’s unique character.
GHD has selected the six most relevant projects de-
livered in the last five years upon which to expand.
As described above, these projects include simi-
lar elements and services to those which the City is
seeking.

City of Willits Main Street Road Diet
Project Objective
Willits is one of many small, charming cities in the
forested Northern California County of Mendocino. Until
recently, it was bisected by US 101 - one of the most
heavily-traveled roads in the area. It has long been both
lifeblood, bringing summer tourists and conduit for the
daily transport of goods statewide, and a scourge - a
source of massive congestion and safety concerns. As a
state-owned and operated highway, it had been difficult
to truly transform the City’s main artery into a thread that
binds the community together. With the completion of a
highway bypass in November 2016, this dynamic
changed; the City and its people could guide Main
Street’s future.
Project Description
Working with Caltrans in preparation for the opening of
the bypass and the transfer of this three-mile segment of
road, the City hired WRT to lead the redesign of this now
local thoroughfare - from state highway to the center of
community life. Now, unburdened of regional traffic and
under the jurisdiction of the City, it was important to
employ a robust community outreach effort to ensure that
Main Street became exactly what the people of Willits
needed and wanted. The cornerstone of the process was
a week-long community charrette anchored by a series of
meetings with stakeholders, emergency responders, and
the public. Provided with a downtown store front as a
base of operations, WRT staff and transportation and
engineering team members drew inspiration from the
historic downtown masonry buildings, stories from
long-time residents, and the creeks coursing from the
surrounding hills crossing Main Street at bridges. As part
of the WRT team, Bill Silva served as GHD's Project
Principal, and Matt Wargula served as the Coordinator
with Caltrans.
Project Outcome
The Main Street Willits Corridor Plan - which addresses
topics including traffic calming, pedestrian safety, street
trees, and community gateways - was unanimously
approved by City Council on December 6, 2016. The
project was completed on time and within budget, and
GHD's final fees were below budget. Relevancies include:
• Federally-funded
• Road diet
• Pavement rehabilitation
• Pedestrian
enhancements
• Extensive Caltrans
coordination

GHD | Proposal for City of Ukiah: Downtown Streetscape, Road Diet & Utilities Project - Phase 2 | 9
Ukiah Downtown Streetscape and Road Diet
Project Objective
The Downtown Streetscape and Road Diet project
included the design of new streetscape and utility
improvements along State Street from Mill Street to Henry
Street, approximately 9 city blocks. The project also
includes improvements on Perkins Street and Standley
Street from School Street to Main Street.
The intent of the road diet improvements was to
transform the existing four-lane State Street cross section
into a three-lane cross section with one travel lane in
each direction and a two-way left-turn (TWLT) lane in the
center and parallel parking on both sides of the street.
The TWLT lanes would transition to left turn pockets at
intersections.
Project Description
Specific components of the project included sidewalk-
widening and construction of curb ramps and bulb outs
for ADA compliance and pedestrian safety, relocation of
drain inlets and pipes, construction of Low Impact
Development (LID) storm water enhancement features,
installation of new streetlights, and installation of street
furniture. New traffic control signals will be installed at Mill
Street, Perkins Street and Standley Street.
Sidewalk improvements, ranging from 8 feet to 15 feet,
were designed to ADA accessible standards and included
bulb-outs with RRFBs and stamped asphalt at each
street intersection, intended to enhance pedestrian
safety. New sidewalks, driveways and ramp
improvements conform to existing private improvements
at the public right of way or building faces. The widened
sidewalks include new planter areas, street trees, tree
grates, street furnishings (benches, recycling and trash
containers, bicycle racks, signage, bollards, streetlights
etc.). Along Perkins Street and Standley Street, outdoor
restaurant/café seating have been enhanced with the
widening of sidewalks.
The road diet portion was designed to maintain and
enhance the State Street corridor vehicular capacity,
reduce intersection congestion by providing center turn
pockets that allow left turning vehicles to move out of the
main flow of traffic, enhance pedestrian visibility and
safety, and provide space for streetscape and pedestrian
improvements. Utility improvements on State Street
included approximately 2,700 lineal feet of new, 8-inch
PVC sanitary sewer line, complete with new manholes,
service laterals and cleanouts, and approximately 2,700
lineal feet of new 12-inch PVC water main line, complete
with new water valves, fire hydrants, and water service
lines with meter boxes.
Project Outcome
The project is currently under construction with an
anticipated completion date of June 2021.

East Broadway Road Complete Street
Project Objective
The Broadway Corridor is the first and largest
infrastructure project from Measure A funds and will
include improved and widened sidewalks, new pavement,
increased public real estate at intersections, bike lanes,
and a road reconfiguration that will slow down vehicles in
what business owners and residents alike have described
as a “speedway” for drivers desperate to connect to
Downtown or access the 710 further west.
Project Description
GHD was selected to redevelop a 2 mile segment of East
Broadway in the city of Long Beach, CA, to create a
multi-modal street that will improve overall mobility and
the quality of life for residents in the area. The segment
starts just east of downtown at Alamitos Avenue and
goes east through Alamitos Beach to Bluff Park, ending
at Redondo Avenue. In the before project conditions,
East Broadway is a 4-lane undivided roadway without any
left-turn lanes between Alamitos Avenue and Molino
Avenue and a 2-lane roadway with two-way left turn lane
between Molino Avenue and Redondo Avenue.
The project converts the segment to a 2-lane roadway
with left-turn lanes at each signalized intersection, cycle
tracks (on-street bicycle lanes separated from through
traffic by parallel parking and a buffered area), and side
boarding island transit stops (in-street raised refuge
islands dedicated to waiting and boarding areas for
transit passengers enabling in-lane transit stops and
improved accessibility and removing transit vehicle/
bicycle conflict). This redesign creates a “complete street”
that will be safe and accessible. The project also
addresses non-compliant ADA facilities and a steep
roadway cross-slope due to abandoned/buried railroad
tracks and existing development throughout the segment.
Some of the challenges that the team overcame on this
project included: transit facilities location, public outreach,
steep driveways, pavement design, coordination with
multiple agencies, improve roadway profile, and ADA
compliance.
Project Outcome
The design phase was completed within schedule and
the project is projected to be completed by April 2019.
The City of Long Beach is very pleased with GHD’s
performance on this project. Relevancies include:
• Federally-funded
• Downtown
• Road diet
• Complete street
• Separated bikeway
• Public outreach

GHD | Proposal for City of Ukiah: Downtown Streetscape, Road Diet & Utilities Project - Phase 2 | 11
The roundabouts will reduce the four-lane facilities to two
lanes and close gaps in existing bicycle facilities by
providing Class II bicycle lanes and shared-use paths.
The drainage improvements for the project include
mitigating the 150-year event and decreasing flood risks
in areas near the roundabout intersections. GHD
provided stormwater quality Low Impact Development
(LID) design and flood mitigation via a detention basin to
reduce the flooding impacts and enhance water quality
treatment to the maximum extent practicable, while
reusing existing infrastructure.
Project Outcome
The solution was the installation of roundabouts along
three streets, which provide the capacity to handle the
existing and future traffic, while reducing the number of
through lanes from four to two. This allowed for room to
accommodate bicycles, pedestrians, and vehicles all with
minimal right of way impacts. Relevancies include:
• Federally-funded
• Downtown
• Road diet
• Complete street
La Quinta Village, a Road Diet Project
Project Objective
La Quinta was seeking to improve their pedestrian and
bicycle safety with the use of roundabouts. The goal was
to transform three heavily vehicle-dominated corridors
with three parks, an elementary school, and other
destinations into pedestrian, bicycle, and neighborhood
electric vehicle-friendly complete streets with five
roundabouts.
Project Description
GHD assisted the City in preparing the Cycle 3 ATP Grant
application by providing the conceptual design,
preliminary costs estimates, cost/benefit analysis, and
assisting with the preparation of various narrative
responses. Being awarded funds through the ATP grant
program, the City hired GHD to perform the work to bring
the complete street to design and completion.
The project will provide three complete street corridors
that include five roundabouts, a road diet that reduced
travel lanes to provide bicycle lanes, and various
pedestrian crossing improvements.

construction activities with Caltrans District 1, PG&E,
Comcast, AT&T, California Department of Fish and
Wildlife, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and other
stakeholders. GHD also prepared all of the traffic
analyses and traffic impact studies for the project
environmental documents. This effort included developing
and analyzing four different alignment and intersection
alternatives for the Talmage Road Interchange
improvements.
Project Outcome
A key challenge overcome by the project was to develop
a cost-effective and feasible method to accommodate
existing shallow utilities while still achieving the design
Traffic Index. GHD worked closely with subgrade and
pavement fabric manufactures to design a pavement
section of reduced thickness compared with a traditional
design that improved bearing capacity while also
increasing the design life of the pavement. To improve
pavement tensile strength and longevity the project used
a high strength aramid fiber reinforcement (Kevlar® type
fibers) in the hot mix asphalt mix design. Relevancies
include:
• Caltrans coordination
• Adjacent to the Hwy 101 Interchange project
• Pedestrian enhancements
The project was recently recognized by the American
Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC), receiving the
“Public Works Project of the Year” by the ACEC North
Coast Chapter, and an Honor Award in the ACEC
California 2019 Engineering Excellence Awards.
Redwood Business Park Transportation Improvements
& Talmage Road Interchange
Project Objective
The objective of this project was to improve roadways

commercial business and retail area of the City.
Project Description
GHD was the Engineer of Record for this $7.1 million
project to improve roadways and stormwater quality in
the Redwood Business Park commercial business and
retail area of the City. The project was required to allow
for the planned development of the business park and

materials, street furnishings, unified signage, water
features, and pedestrian crosswalks. the project included
acquisition of a parcel and building demolition. Project
permitting included RWQCB, NOAA, NMFS, Fish &
Wildlife, among others.
The project included the narrowing of Healdsburg Avenue
(from two to one lane in each direction), widening of
sidewalks, extensive landscaping, street furniture, and
installation of parking along the Avenue. A vital part of the
design process included working with the residents,
downtown property owners, and merchants through an
extensive outreach and education process to vet urban
design components, landscape palettes, and
construction-sequencing plan to ensure the appropriate
design and continued access to the businesses in the
project area.
Project Outcome
The existing, signalized five-way was reconstructed as a
single-lane roundabout to improve safety, capabity and
the community's image. An abandoned gas station was
acquired and demolished, and disruptions to nearby
businesses and the flow of traffic were avoided for this
highly visited tourist destination. Relevancies include:
• Road diet
• Downtown/former Highway 101
• Public outreach
• Pedestrian enhancements
• GHD with AR/WS on the team

GHD | Proposal for City of Ukiah: Downtown Streetscape, Road Diet & Utilities Project - Phase 2 | 15
Organization and Approach4.
Project Background
The City of Ukiah has been working towards com-
pleting the revitalization of State Street for de-
cades. Many of the components of the Downtown
Streetscape, Road Diet and Utilities Projects (both
Phase 1 and Phase 2) were identified in the Ukiah
Downtown Streetscape Improvements Plan Final
Report, dated July 1, 2009. This report was the
culmination of a shared vision in many stakehold-
er meetings and public workshops. Along with the
traffic analysis to support the vision the report laying
out the framework for the Streetscape Projects was
published.
In 2019, the City selected GHD to deliver Phase 1
of the project, which included improvements from
Mill Street to Henry Street, and also Perkins Street
and Standley Street from State Street to School
Street. This first phase was the “downtown core”
where a majority of the shops and restaurants are
located. Phase 1 is currently in construction, with
GHD serving to supplement the City’s Construction
Management team.
Phase 2 of the project includes the sections of State
Street that bookend Phase 1 and will complete the
entry gateways into the downtown core.
Due to environmental and funding constraints the
utility portion of Phase 1 was broken out as a sepa-
rate project and bid separately from the streetscape
and road diet, which created additional challenges.
Fortunately, Phase 2 will combine all of the improve-
ments into one comprehensive set, adding efficiency
to the design and construction of the project.
Phase 2 presents many of the same challenges and
constraints as phase 1 but has a less aggressive
schedule and the benefit of the lessons learned by
the team during Phase 1. As expanded on in this
section of our proposal, the GHD team is prepared
to take those lessons and deliver a quality project
while leveraging our experience to streamline the
schedule and project budget.
Roles and Team Organization
GHD has assembled a talented team with an em-
phasis on demonstrated technical ability and proven
track-record. Our core team has worked together
developing and delivering downtown improvement
plans, complete streets/road diets and corridor solu-
tions for numerous Northern California destination
locations, including similar cities in Mendocino and
Sonoma Counties where Highway 101 once ran
through their downtowns.
Through this experience, we have developed valu-
able skills to efficiently complete complex, high-pro-
file projects by integrating seamlessly and operat-
ing as an extension of City staff. As illustrated in the
Organizational Chart in the upcoming pages, we
offer a comprehensive and experienced team and
have access to a large network of additional resourc-
es to deliver a quality project, within budget, and on
schedule to help the City achieve its goal.
The Team is streamlined to be responsive and effi-
cient, yet dynamic, including technical expertise in
planning, urban design, public outreach, civil, traf-
fic, low impact development (LID), and utility design,
as well as extensive experience with utility provid-
ers, City Electrical Department, CEQA/NEPA com-
pliance, permitting, hazardous materials (HAZMAT),
Caltrans Local Assistance and CTC coordination,
and urban core construction.
Team Composition
GHD staff proposed
for this assignment
have decades of ex-
perience successfully
developing concepts
for and designing
similar downtown
corridors and com-
plete streets projects. This will provide the City the
peace of mind that comes with having the right pro-
fessionals with the right experience planning, design-
ing, and supporting environmental compliance and
public outreach for this project. Within this section,
we present our most relevant experience providing
planning, public outreach, engineering, environmen-

The experience gained in delivering these projects
helps to inform our decisions when composing the
team in a way to ensure success. Our team will pro-
vide the City with knowledgeable, comprehensive
and thorough design development and a proven
public outreach approach based on our established
processes and lessons learned. Our combined ex-
perience and collaborative history enables us to
bring value and innovation to this project.
The GHD team is composed of the same key mem-
bers from GHD that delivered the Phase 1 project, as
well as the return of WRT, AR/WS and Cinquini and
Passarino. The Phase 2 project team also includes
the addition of subcontractor CHS into a Traffic role.
Not only will CHS bring the technical expertise to
help confirm the proposed traffic modifications in the
Ukiah Downtown Streetscape Improvements Plan
Final Report, but they also bring a fresh, creative per-
spective to the project.
Staff/Facilities Available
GHD has identified key staff that are all available and
ready to work on your project, as shown in the or-
ganizational chart on the following page. Work will

Project and Management
Approach
GHD will manage and primarily staff the Project out
of our Santa Rosa office and with the same team
that delivered the Ukiah Downtown Streetscape
Phase 1 Project. With this local office, we will be
able to be responsive, present, and centralized for
effective team interaction and productivity. The con-
sistency of our proven project team with its intimate
project knowledge and experience enables the
team to be ready to go from day one. Matt Kennedy,
Principal-in-Charge, and Jeremy Schmal, Project
Manager, will work closely to manage the GHD team
members and subconsultants. They have success-
fully delivered several other projects and will com-
municate regularly to make sure individual team
member responsibilities are met.
Although not as fast-paced as Phase 1 of the proj-
ect, Phase 2 has a funding deadline in April 2022,
which does not allow for much time to handle un-
foreseen delays. Our management approach will
strengthen communication with the City and across
the team and allow for multiple operations to be un-
derway simultaneously under coordinated manage-
ment. As shown in Section 6, Schedule of Work and
highlighted throughout our proposal, our approach
will streamline the right of way and design processes
and allow for multiple operations to be underway si-
multaneously under coordinated management.
Since the Project is high-profile and on a timeline,
not only must our technical approach be sound,
GHD’s project and management (“project manage-
ment”) approach must be well conceived and exe-
cuted. The following is a summary of the key consid-
erations of our project management approach.
Key Management Considerations
Opportunity/
Innovative Approach Further Discussion and/or Team’s Value
1 | Turnkey Services
Operate as an extension of City staff.
Use “lessons learned” during the design and
construction of Phase 1 to improve both design and
efficiency.
Utilize GHD’s diverse in-house expertise resources
(traffic, pavement, electrical, LID, geotechnical,
construction sequencing, structural, HAZMAT, NEPA,
etc.).
Experience and expertise in the Caltrans/Federal
Funding processes, including the LAPM, etc.
GHD is accustomed to holding the role of City Engineer,
District Engineer, or other agency positions. Municipal project
development and delivery has been our primary focus for over 60
years in California. We recognize the intricacies of redevelopment
projects like this Project, verses overlaying rural roads or working
in new subdivisions.
The project team will be made up of many of the same key players
as the Phase 1 design. Our team understands the issues in the
corridor, understands the City’s intent and knows how to deliver it.
Furthermore, regarding the Ukiah Downtown’s federal funding
approval process, GHD has multiple former Caltrans staff and has
expertise in taking roadway projects through the CTC process.
2 | Responsiveness to Stakeholder Needs
Knowledge of Ukiah, the community, and local
process will be paramount to establishing trust and
feeling of responsiveness to stakeholders, especially
adjacent property owners.
Strengthen and augment the City’s outreach and
communication efforts by providing support as
needed.
Reach out to third party utilities that are not controlled
by the City immediately to start coordination.
Address any other stakeholder concerns.
GHD’s PIC and other key team members have been delivering
projects for the City for over two decades and have been
exceptionally effective on recent efforts. Our recent relevant
experience, relationships, and knowledge of the community and
interest groups will accelerate coordination, bring trust, and build
consensus most expeditiously.
WRT and GHD have led and participated in numerous proactive
and customized outreach programs on nearby downtown projects,
including the Ukiah Downtown Streetscape Project Phase 1. Our
team knows what it takes to establish an Engagement Program
that is effective and responsive to stakeholder needs.
GHD has excellent working relationships with the third-party
utilities and will ensure contact is made immediately to avoid
delays in their participation of the project.

3 | Quality & Timeliness of Deliverables
Perform over-the-shoulder reviews with City staff to
engage input at key stages of a fast-tracked design
phase.
Implement independent review of deliverables,
including constructability reviews.
Follow GHD’s ISO 9001 project quality guidelines, as
applicable.
Consistent, clear communication is vital to complete, timely
documents.
GHD’s QA/QC Manager Matt Wargula, will oversee project quality.
In addition to the cross-team reviews, GHD will utilize internal tools
to qualify the project management effort and track progress.
4 | Budget Adherence
Remain on point (scope) whenever possible and
quickly communicate any potential need for deviation
to City.
Utilize BST software for project financial management.
GHD’s budget management processes will track with Item 3,
above, regarding project management.
Monthly invoices and a supplemental summary report will be
provided to clearly illustrate financials for all three separate funding
sources.
5 | Project Schedule Adherence
Regular communication between GHD’s PM and
the City’s PM is an essential component of schedule
maintenance.
Project team with intimate knowledge of the corridor.
Communicate and begin to address major challenges
early in the process so no late surprises.
Maintain a shared and living action items list that can be added to,
maintained, and utilized by the project team and the City.
Initiate simultaneous data collection, design, ROW, and processing
efforts where possible.
Coordinate early with City utilities and third-party utilities.
All members of the project team, from survey to right of way to
design have recently worked in this corridor and are set to hit the
ground running.
Turnkey Services
Our ability to provide turnkey services is achieved
through proper staffing and training. First, GHD’s
approach to this project started years ago with the
selection of a knowledgeable, Principal-in-Charge
with vast experience in the City Ukiah and a Project
Manager with years extensive knowledge of road-
way design and years of public outreach and mu-
nicipal project delivery experience. Our Project
Manager will be supported by our strategic teaming
partners WRT, AR/WS, CHS, and C&P to provide
the City with staff that are exceptionally skilled at the
work required and will allow for our team to operate
quickly and effectively as an extension of staff.
Since the beginning, GHD has been fully vested in
municipal engineering and the delivery of municipal
projects. For this project, we are prepared to assist
with the preparation of staff reports, work with oth-
er departments, take stakeholder phone calls, and
address budget and progress questions as they
develop. Our proposed Principal-in-Charge, Matt
Kennedy, has been supporting the City on numerous
projects and is fully aware of the challenges that City
staff can face.
Responsiveness to Stakeholder
Needs
GHD assembled this team in response to stakehold-
er needs. We will use our collective knowledge of
the project, City, agencies, special interest groups,
and adjacent owners to make sure all voices are
heard from the outset of the project and used to in-
form the design. Internal and external communica-
tion will be paramount to confirming each stakehold-
er is satisfied, or at least know they have had an in-
fluence on the process.
Quality and Timeliness of
Deliverables
Through our Project Manager, this team will operate
as an extension of City staff, collaborating with City
staff as needed throughout project development.
We will employ time-tested GHD tools and systems,
including our internal management software and our
ISO certified Practice Quality Management System.
Over our 90-year history, GHD has developed the
staff, software, and operating procedures that al-
lows us to remain competitive and consistently pro-
duce high-quality engineering and environmental
documents.

Budget Adherence
GHD recognizes the complexities of this project and
that the project has a reasonable, yet aggressive
schedule to get to construction. A sampling of fac-
tors that could affect budget and that will be moni-
tored closely include:
• Grant processing
• Adjacent owner outreach/coordination
• Doorway/ADA conform design
• Utility coordination/collision avoidance
• ROW acquisition/processing
• DSA approval (if needed)
Section 5 of this proposal includes other manage-
ment techniques and tools that we will use to moni-
tor and control cost.
Project Schedule Adherence
GHD recognizes that due to the timing of federal
funding and the desire to meet the construction win-
dow of this project, the project schedule is very im-
portant The combination of our location, resources,
knowledge of the corridor, expertise, and past ex-
perience on multiple local projects just like this, the
Ukiah Project will allow us to be the Team most likely
to deliver the project on the most aggressive sched-
ule possible. That noted, we will need to proactively
manage our time and efforts to achieve the de-
sired schedule. We will regularly update a Microsoft
Project schedule with the tasks from the detailed
project scope throughout the project. The sched-
ule will be referenced at each regular Team meeting,
which will ensure all parties are on the same page
and that critical path items are held top of mind.
A project risk review will be done to identify any po-
tential fatal flaws or drivers that would impact the
project schedule. Sample risk items include ROW,
private utilities, HAZMAT, construction sequencing,
etc. These items will be tracked and vetted to clear
the path for the project as required. The approach to
the project schedule is discussed further in Section
5, along with the Scope of Work narrative.

Technical Approach
In preparing our technical approach and detailed
Scope of Work, we have revisited the Phase 1 proj-
ect design in the context of extending the improve-
ments approximately 1 block to the north and south
in Phase 2. There are several key issues that we
have identified and will address in our technical ap-
proach. These issues and our proposed approach to
addressing them are described in detail below and
covered in the various Scope of Work tasks.
Pavement Rehabilitation Design
One of the most beneficial and visible parts of this
project for the motoring public is the pavement re-
habilitation and the comfort of driving on a nice,
smooth roadway surface. Under this finished prod-
uct is the requirement to provide a stable pavement
structural section that and performs up to or beyond
its anticipated service life, while balancing the poten-
tially high cost of pavement rehabilitation.
GHD is proposing to utilize the information gath-
ered during the design and construction of Phase
1 to develop paving strategies for the Phase 2 sec-
tions of the project. Having learned that there is no
Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) and that the base
is cement treated, we propose to save the cost of
a geotechnical investigation and rely on the Phase
1 analysis that we know to exist to eliminate guess
work and provide the best design solutions for these
segments.
The existing pavement section completely chang-
es at Smith Street. North of Smith Street it is tongue
and groove PCC panels, and south of Smith Street
it is asphalt concrete over cement treated base.
Meaning the sections north of Henry and south of
Mill are quite different and require different design
strategies.
Northern Segment: The existing PCC roadway is
an excellent base to overlay. We propose to main-
tain and overlay most of this existing pavement
section. State Street north of Henry does not have
the same design constraints as the block south of
Henry Street, which was completely replaced in
Phase 1. The segment between Smith Street and
Henry Street was lined with store fronts and had a
non-standard crown. Although there are a few door
conforms north of Henry Street they appear to be
higher than the existing sidewalk and in areas where
the existing curb is greater than 6-inches. These
conditions enable wider sidewalks, a higher gut-
ter flowline, and ADA compliant sidewalk slopes.
The pavement conform at the new gutter can be
achieved by removing and replacing the PCC road-
way within 3-ft of the proposed curb and gutter with
a standard HMA section, while and an HMA overlay
of the existing PCC roadway. The overlay would vary
to achieve the desired centerline crown and cross
slopes.
Southern Segment: During the Phase 1 utility re-
placement project, it was discovered that the PCC
roadway believed to exist under most of State Street
was actually Cement-Treated Base (CTB). The CTB
extended across the roadway up to 3 to 4 feet from
the existing curb and gutter. It was well-compacted
and stable. Based on this new information, a change
in design was initiated to leave the CTB in place and
to mill and replace the HMA. We recommend the
same approach for the southern segment with se-
lect dig-out repairs where needed to address local
failures. The resulting overlay would incorporate a
Sidewalk at State Street and Henry Street

geosynthetic interlayer and 4-5” of HMA and would
correct the non-standard cross slope issues.
An overlay or other pavement treatment was con-
structed at the south end of the project, approxi-
mately 200 feet north of Gobbi Street to the inter-
section with Gobbi Street. GHD will further evaluate
if this section of roadway would be a better candi-
date for a traditional mill and overlay, further reducing
pavement costs.
Integrated Utility Design
The City of Ukiah Electric Department is design-
ing the undergrounding of power and telecommu-
nications under a separate project, and the Public
Works Department would like to incorporate that
design into the replacement water and sewer design
drawings. This approach is similar to what GHD ac-
complished in Phase 1, except that in Phase 1 the
utility improvements were constructed under a sep-
arate contract from the streetscape and road diet
improvements.
The delivery of the utility design in Phase 1 was gen-
erally uncomplicated, but integrating the electrical
improvements did present some challenges be-
cause the drawings were not prepared to scale and
were not tied to any coordinate system. GHD was
able to take the Electric Department’s design, ro-
tate it and translate it to the State Plane Coordinate
system used for the project, and overlay it with the
water and sewer design to identify conflicts. The
alignments of the water and sewer were estab-
lished early in the project with the City to facilitate the
abandonment of the existing water mains and install
the new sewer in the same alignment as the exist-
ing. Adjustments to the duct banks were then made
to eliminate the conflicts and more precisely locate
them.
In Phase 1, the underground power and telecom be-
tween Mill Street and Clay Street were generally lo-
cated under the west State Street sidewalk and con-
structed after the new water main was complete and
the existing water lines under the sidewalks could
be abandoned/removed. GHD was able to pro-
vide an updated layout to the Electric Department’s
designer with suggestions to maintain connection
points and eliminate conflicts. While it occurred late
in the design process, this approach was able to ad-
dress all the Electric Department’s and Public Works
Department’s utility location requirements and inte-
grate the design to allow for a phased approach to
construction. Having more time in Phase 2 will allow
for a more integrated and coordinated utility design
in both the plans and the technical specifications.
We understand the City would like to integrate the
water and sewer replacement with the electrical
undergrounding in a joint trench design to avoid
conflicts. We see this approach as very viable, and
there appears to be adequate space on the west
side of State Street for a joint utility trench that
achieves utility separation requirements. It is likely
preferable to maintain the sanitary sewer in the ex-
isting alignment, as was done in Phase 1, to simplify
new lateral connections and minimize conflicts with
new and existing utilities.
In Phase 2, the City is considering new medians with
street trees in both the south and north segments. In
Phase 1 medians with street trees were not included
in part because of the potential future sewer access
challenges they present, including planting street
trees directly over the sewer main. In the design
workshop GHD will revisit the option for medians in
the segment between Gobbi Street and Mill Street
where the sewer is generally located along the State
Street centerline. In the north between Henry Street
and Norton Street the sewer is located on the east
side of State Street, and a median/street tree/sewer
conflict should not be an issue.

Northern Segment Streetscape
Design
The existing curb to curb dimension of the north-
ern segment of the project is approximately 64
feet. North of Henry Street, the Ukiah Downtown
Streetscape Improvement Plan proposes a 58 foot
curb to curb roadway width, with medians and
street trees, while the new Phase 1 width from Smith
Street and Henry Street is 53 feet. If medians are in-
cluded in this segment, a wider curb to curb with is
desirable. Whether or not medians are included the
new curb and gutter will need to move inward ne-
cessitating the removal and replacement of the ex-
isting curb and gutter, sidewalk and possibly also
trees. Bulbouts will be similar to those constructed
in Phase 1 and could also integrate LID and land-
scape/stormwater features.
The right of way constraints are similar to those in
Phase 1, but without as many storefronts. This will
allow for greater flexibility in design, particularly ver-
tically as the design seeks to preserve the existing
PCC roadway and not alter drainage patterns.
In this segment the sewer is located east of the cen-
terline and a new planted median could be a wel-
coming gateway feature with trees, landscaping and
other possibilities. There are a number of driveways
to consider, so the exact location and dimensions of
medians must be carefully studied to preserve prop-
erty access. We are planning for these discussions
early in the project during the design workshop.
GHD will examine any available records and as-built
drawings of the creek crossing to determine the best
course of action to accommodate sidewalk widen-
ing and pavement rehabilitation. An important con-
sideration is the Gibson Creek crossing. During the
early design workshop different options will be pre-
sented including ideas to highlight the importance
of Gibson Creek and enhance greenspaces and pe-
destrian features.
Southern Segment Streetscape
Design
Unlike the northern segment, the southern seg-
ment presents opportunities to reduce hardscape
and project costs by utilizing existing hardscape im-
provements. Not only is the pavement section differ-
ent from the northern segment, but the width of the
roadway also changes. From Mill Street to Seminary
Avenue the curb to curb width reduction was subtle
at about 1-ft on either side from 55 feet to 53 feet.
Continuing this curb line south to Gobbi Street will
require careful consideration in the context of pre-
serving existing sidewalks and street trees while also
achieving the goals of the road diet.
The existing curb and gutter and sidewalk south
of Mill Street are generally in good shape and GHD
would propose to leave as much of the hardscape
in place as possible. The corners will be upgrad-
ed with new bulbouts and curb ramps, and most
of the driveways in this section of roadway are not
ADA compliant and need to be upgraded. There
are also several frontages along the Rite Aid and
Safeway developments that appear to be in good
shape and ADA compliant. The Safeway driveways
are non-compliant and will need to be replaced, but
the remaining hardscape features, including the bus
stop can remain. GHD will explore options that pre-
serve as much of the existing hardscape and land-
scape as possible and present these at the design
workshop with the City.
There is also maturing landscaping that could be
preserved and integrated into the design. Many of
the existing tree wells are undersized between Mill
Street and Gobbi Street, but there is an opportunity
to sawcut and remove a portion of the sidewalk ad-
jacent to the roadway to increase them. Selection
of the proper trees for these spaces is important to
the long-term development of tree health. Also, ma-
ny of the existing trees may meet the City’s current
criteria for street trees in the area and there could be
an additional cost savings in keeping existing trees.
The design team will evaluate the corridor and iden-
tify locations of new trees and evaluate existing trees

Addressing Environmental
Requirements and Hazardous
Materials
Similar to Phase 1, GHD is aware that there may
still be abandoned/former heating oil tanks (USTs)
within the project limits. These were abandoned in
place when PG&E installed gas mains downtown. A
number of them were removed in the Phase 1 util-
ities project, and most were found to be mostly or
completely drained. During design we will work with
the City to update and refine the UST removal and
abatement language in the specifications to improve
the process based on the outcome of Phase 1.
GHD has performed an initial Geotracker review of
potential contamination sites within the Phase 2 ar-
ea. Our initial investigations indicate four closed
clean-up sites between Gobbi Street and Mill Street,
and one active remediation site at 406 North State
Street, a former Shell station at the corner of Henry
Street. With this information in mind, we can perform
a more detailed hazmat review and depending on
the outcome recommend further testing and/or in-
clude appropriate language in the specifications re-
garding management, characterization and disposal
of trench spoils
GHD has the internal resources to address the all
contamination which may be encountered and can
work with the City to tailor the approach depend-
ing on whether pre-work is desired or if construction
phase remediation is an acceptable approach. We
can also provide as needed CEQA/NEPA support
should the need arise.
Early Design Workshop
One of the first tasks to be completed is the topo-
graphic and utility survey, which will be performed
by our subconsultant C&P who also performed the
Phase 1 survey. Their survey work, which will tie into
Phase 1, will be critical to understanding the exist-
ing geometry and utilities and will provide the con-
text for the geometric layout of the Phase 2 street
scape and road diet. At completion of the survey
and basemap development we will organize a de-
sign workshop with the City and key stake holders
to review the opportunities, constraints and options
for the Phase 2 improvements. The workshop would
occur in early March. We will request the layout for
the underground electrical and telecom prior to the
workshop and will overlay this on to the mapping to
identify and resolve early layout conflicts. Our goals
for this meeting are to develop concept layouts for
new curbs/gutters and bulbouts, feasible median
locations, alignments for water and sewer and ad-
justments to the underground duct banks, as need-
ed. This early engagement with the City will help
to accelerate design and could lead to schedule
reductions.
Public Outreach Assistance
In Phase 1 the City Manager’s Office led the com-
munity outreach efforts, with the GHD Team sup-
porting with graphics and renderings for community
meetings and the City’s website, powerpoint pre-
sentation, flier graphics for utility bills, and commu-
nication assistance. We also attended public meet-
ings, met with the tree advisory group and assisted
in fielding some calls.
While the City did not request public outreach assis-
tance with Phase 2, we have included a task to pro-
vide a similar level of support, and we are prepared
to assist as much or as little as the City needs. We
have included effort to develop renderings as part of
the design and will provide these for the City’s public
meeting and other public outreach efforts. If selected
for this project we will work with the City to tailor this
task to meet the City’s specific needs for Phase 2.

GHD | Proposal for City of Ukiah: Downtown Streetscape, Road Diet & Utilities Project - Phase 2 | 31
Detailed Scope of Work
The City of Ukiah is proposing an improvement proj-
ect on State Street, from the north side of Gobbi
Street to the south side of Mill Street and the north
side of Henry Street to the north side of Norton
Street. The project will combine three separate
components: Downtown Streetscape, Rule 20
Undergrounding and water and sewer utilities.
This scope is to provide professional engineering and
related services for the construction of the improve-
ments. Anticipated disciplines include civil, survey
(topography/ROW), LID, electrical, utility coordination
and design, traffic, landscape architecture, right of
way (ROW), geotechnical, environmental compliance
and hazardous materials.
Given that the project involves different funding sourc-
es, it is understood that invoicing will be done sepa-
rately for each component. To avoid complexities may
arise during the invoicing and the State/Federal reim-
bursement processes, GHD will keep the tasks of the
projects associated with each funding source sep-
arate. The GHD Team will work with the City during
project setup to use the knowledge and procedures
that worked on Phase 1 to confirm invoicing.
Below is a Detailed Scope of Work that describes the
specific services, tasks, and deliverables to be com-
pleted by GHD. Assumptions and exclusions relat-
ed to the contract work are listed after the scope or
services.
Task 1 - Project Management and
QA/QC
Management activities will consist of a project man-
agement plan and internal coordination, maintaining
an action item matrix, project schedule, agency co-
ordination, project meetings (including agendas and
minutes), Caltrans Local Assistance coordination,
field reviews and meetings and quality assurance/
quality control as stated in the following sub sections.
1.1 - Project Management and Internal
Coordination

could lead to schedule reductions.
1.7 - Progress Reporting/Invoicing
Prepare and submit monthly progress reports with
invoices in accordance with the City requirements
clearly separating and identifying the separate project
components (Streetscape and Utility). Control of proj-
ect costs will be accomplished through a work-break-
down structure invoice format; data on each task will
include current charges, to-date charges, estimated
percent complete, and remaining balance - all by sep-
arate project components and individual task.
Deliverables
• Monthly progress and budget summaries submit-
ted electronically (email) with monthly (hard copy)
invoices in a format consistent with the LAPM
requirements for the downtown streetscape
project
1.8 - Quality Assurance/Quality Control
GHD senior staff will continue to perform quality con-
trol review throughout the project duration and the
project manager will perform a quality assurance au-
dit prior to major submittals to the City (per ISO 9001
Certification). Engineer level staff will perform the reg-
ular quality control reviews/checks and manager level
staff will perform the quality control reviews/audit prior
to major submittals. The QA/QC review documenta-
tion be kept at the GHD office and will be made avail-
able for review by the City.
Deliverables
• Red-lined review comment and response sheets
Task 2 - Surveys, Mapping and Site
Data
2.1 - Background Research
This task will consist of data collection and review of
activities, including assembling available information
from the City and identifying additional data and in-
formation that is required to properly design the im-
provements. GHD will request and review any readily
available reports, studies, as-built/development plans
from the City to identify roadway alignment, structur-
al sections, other built features, ROW, near-term and
future projects planned in the area and/or by the City
and other pertinent information.
2.2 - Surveys and Mapping
Cinquini & Passarino (C&P) will perform the topo-
graphic surveys necessary for the design of the
streetscape, road diet and utilities improvement proj-
ect. All topographic mapping will be at a drawing
scale of 1 inch = 20 feet, unless otherwise request-
ed, with a one-foot contour interval. The topograph-
ic survey will include the following:
• Topographic survey coverage area will include
State Street beginning 200 feet south of Gobbi
Street to the previous survey limit at Mill Street
and the previous survey limit at Henry Street to
200 feet north of Norton Street
• The width of the survey will be from face of build-
ing to face of building. If the building face is not
located at the back of sidewalk, C&P will map 10
feet beyond the back of sidewalk.
• Topographic survey will include all necessary
work to produce a topographic map, including
features such as, but not limited to; building
corners and elevations, curb lines, water meters,
sewer cleanouts, valves, manholes (including
rim, invert and pipe information), utility markings
on the pavement, utility poles, driveway and
doorway locations, sidewalks, trees four (4) inch-
es and larger, retaining wall or decorative walls,
and any other pertinent information that could
apply to the project during design.
• Topographic survey will be provided on North
American Vertical Datum of 1988.
• Topographic map to horizontally relate California
Coordinate System of 1983, Zone II.
C&P understand that time is critical on this project
and we have prepared a critical path workflow to
assist with the schedule. We propose to locate the
survey control set with Phase 1 of the project and
set additional control where needed and then im-
mediately begin the topographic mapping, all upon
receiving notice to proceed. Upon completion of the
field mapping we will begin the office processing and
drafting.
Deliverables
• Topographic survey - information shall be
complete and comprehensive for design use;
shall include all surface features within the
proposed project limits and construction zone
Services Provided by City
• Any existing topography information (in electron-
ic format where available)

2.3 - Site Visit (with City)
Following the kick-off meeting GHD will perform a
site visit with the City to review field conditions and
develop an early understanding of the project de-
sign. Field investigations will be performed by GHD
engineers and subconsultants and coordinated with
City staff to identify existing surface features, areas
of improvements, any potential alternatives, and
photograph the site to serve as the basis for defining
the constraints.
2.4 - Utility Potholing
GHD will review existing utility information and noti-
fy the City of any conflicts with proposed improve-
ments after preliminary alignment of the sewer and
water are determined. For identified utility conflict
locations, GHD will propose those locations for pot-
holing. The anticipated utilities to be affected or be in
potential conflict include sewer, water, storm drain,
gas, dry utilities (traffic signal conduit, u/g electric,
etc). To collect data for the accurate design of these
utilities, utility potholing is proposed to collect field
verified subsurface information. For consideration, it
is anticipated that approximately 10 potholes will be
required for the project (approximately 1 pothole per
150 LF of roadway).
Deliverables
• Depth, size and material of identified utilities
Services Provided by City
• No cost encroachment permit for completion of
pothole activities
2.5 - Geotechnical Investigation (Optional)
If requested by the City, GHD will perform
geotechnical investigation services and prepare a
geotechnical report to support the project design.
This geotechnical information will be used to design
the LID components, recommend pavement struc-
tural sections, determine overlay/PCC depths and
identify possible issues with utility construction. It is
anticipated that geotechnical services will include
the following:
• 5 borings to a depth of 5-6 feet, which would re-
quire traffic control, and possibly a utility locator
• Run perc tests in 2-3 holes to get infiltration
characteristics
• Standard R-value and Atterberg testing
• Groundwater Level (if occurring within boring
limits)
Deliverables
• Draft Geotechnical Report
• Final Geotechnical Report
Services Provided by City
• No cost encroachment permit for completion of
coring activities
• Any recent existing ADT vehicle counts or calcu-
lated Traffic Index for State Street
If the optional task of a geotechnical investigation
is not completed, the design team will utilize the
geotechnical information collected as part of Phase
1 and update the pavement recommendations in the
context of the Phase 1 construction and this Phase 2
project.
Task 3 - Outreach and Coordination
with Adjacent Properties
3.1 - Community Outreach
The goals of the GHD Team for this task are to assist
the City to:
• Inform/remind the community about the project
• Build a database of interested people to remain in
contact with during construction
• Combine in person and online engagement to
maximize contact
• Target downtown merchants and property
owners
The GHD Team will prepare printed and online ma-
terials as requested by the City to inform the public
about the project and associated events. Emphasis
will be placed on downtown businesses and property
owners.
Deliverables
• Provide information for City hosted website -
project information, meeting notifications, and
sign up for notices
• Project Information Sheet: A written project sheet
can be distributed by the City. Meetings and the
website URL will be included
• Meeting Flyer (1)
• News Articles (2)
• Targeted Emails and Calls (5): The GHD Team

will participate in calls to strategic individuals to
discuss the project. During the conversation,
GHD will learn about their interest, opportunities,
challenges, and test our engagement strategy
Meetings
Public Workshop: The GHD Team will participate in
a meeting to present the project including mobili-
ty, safety, LID, and community character features.
Attendees will have the opportunity to see and dis-
cuss the proposed design features illustrated on dis-
play boards. Rendered plans, sketch views, and ma-
terial samples will be shared. The illustrative materials
can be used by the City for subsequent display in a
storefront the library, or City Hall. The GHD Team will
be available to discuss the proposed design and set
future goals for construction logistics and communi-
cations during construction. Project representatives
will remain available for an additional half-day in order
to provide the greatest flexibility to interested people.
3.2 - Adjacent Property Owner Coordination
The GHD Team will make contact and coordinate
with adjacent property owners, as needed, to dis-
cuss project impacts and modifications proposed
to occur in the public ROW adjacent to their proper-
ties. Potential impacts include sidewalk and driveway
modifications, landscaping and site furniture.
Deliverables
• Field notes, suggestions, and questions gath-
ered from coordination activities having potential
effects on proposed improvements
Services Provided by City
• All available property owner information for
potentially affected parcels
Task 4 - Utility Coordination
4.1 - Water, Sewer and Storm Drain
Coordination
The purpose of this task is to gather all information
regarding the City’s water, sewer and storm drain
systems (wet utilities) within the project area and en-
sure they are accurately displayed in the plans. As the
design of the proposed improvements progresses,
potential conflicts will be identified and transmitted to
the City for their review.
This task supplements but does not include the de-
sign of the new 12-inch sanitary sewer main and
new 12-inch water main in State Street, including
new services, laterals and abandonment of existing
mains, laterals and services. It is assumed that the
City has completed all planning and analysis neces-
sary for determining the size and capacity of the new
mains.
Deliverables
• Exhibits identifying potential conflicts
Services Provided by City
• All available information on location (horizontal
and vertical) of known existing water, sewer and
storm drain lines within the project vicinity
4.2 - City Electric Utility Coordination and
Design
At project onset, GHD will request CAD design files
for the City Electric Utility’s undergrounding project
to review the layout and identify potential conflicts.
GHD will engage the City’s Public Works and Electric
Departments if conflicts are identified to develop
solutions.
The design of the new joint trench will be completed
by the City Electric Utility with the design incorporat-
ed into the overall design prepared by GHD.
Deliverables
• Exhibits identifying potential conflicts and
solutions
Services Provided by City
• Design files in CAD format for the joint trench at
each project phase
4.3 - Utility Relocation of non-City Owned
Facilities
Plans will be submitted to all utility companies with
facilities identified within the project limits including
but not limited to PG&E (gas), AT&T, and Comcast.
If conflicts are identified and the need for relocations
are determined, GHD will coordinate with the affect-
ed utility company. The design will be prepared to
avoid potential conflicts whenever possible, but it is
anticipated that relocations will be warranted. GHD
will handle preparations of the Notice to Owner and
accompanying documentation needed for the relo-
cation in compliance with the LAPM.

Task 5 - Environmental Compliance
& Support
5.1 - Environmental Clearance
It is our understanding that the City has or will be ac-
quiring all environmental clearances for Phase 2.
This task includes a limited number of hours for a
GHD environmental specialist to collaborate with the
design team and the City on environmental compli-
ance, if needed. This task includes time for meet-
ings and conference calls, assisting with a notice of
exemption for the proposed utility improvements,
coordination on Caltrans-related matters, and iden-
tifying key environmental considerations surrounding
the project if the need arises.
5.2 - Hazardous Materials Assessment and
Support (Optional)
The costs of managing contaminated materials can
be significant and encountering contamination unex-
pectedly can result in project delays and higher con-
struction costs. GHD will complete a hazardous ma-
terials corridor study.
The corridor study will be completed using existing
publicly available information to identify sites and
areas where contamination is known or potential-
ly present in the project area. GHD will review data
available for each of the contaminated or potential-
ly contaminated sites along the project corridor to
determine if soil contamination is likely to be found
in the material that will be excavated during the
project.
A report will summarize the findings of the corridor
study, including a map identifying contaminated and
potentially contaminated sites.
If warranted, GHD will recommend conducting lim-
ited soil borings to confirm contamination and tabu-
late estimates of volume, tonnage and costs associ-
ated with contaminated soil disposal, and regulatory
process requirements if underground tanks or con-
tamination is encountered.
Task 6 - ROW Engineering
6.1 - ROW Consulting
AR/WS will provide right of way services to GHD for
the City’s Downtown Streetscape Project - Phase
2. Services include preparation and solicitation of
voluntary permits to enter and construct from up to
31 property owners along S. State St. between 1) E.
Gobbi St. to E. Mill St. and 2) W. Henry St. to Norton
St.
Section 8.09.10.00 Construction Permits and
Permits to Enter and Construct of the Caltrans Right
of Way Manual states “When temporary rights are
needed to perform work for the grantor’s benefit, a
Permit to Enter and Construct or Construction Permit
may be used.” Based on our understanding of the
project, soliciting Permits to Enter and Construct
(PTECs) from the grantors is an appropriate approach
to gain access to private property along S. State St.
AR/WS previously worked with GHD on Phase 1 of
the project and employed this approach. All AR/WS
services will comply with pertinent sections of the
Caltrans Right of Way Manual.
Permits to Enter and Construct
• AR/WS will review the properties that will require
PTEs and identify owner contact information.
• With input regarding project construction and
project needs from GHD, AR/WS will prepare
draft PTEs for GHD and City review and approval.
• Notify property owners with a letter and PTE
Agreement for signature, and follow up with prop-
erty owners.
• Continuous coordination with property owners to
obtain voluntarily signed PTE. Follow up will be
primarily by phone calls, email correspondence
and personal meetings. Personal meetings are
limited to a total of 45 for the entire project.
• AR/WS will coordinate on-site meetings with
project Team members, property owners and/ or
tenants, as necessary (included in the 45 person-
al meetings above).
• AR/WS will serve as the point of contact for prop-
erty owners and tenants and will be available to
respond to inquiries.
• Develop and utilize a project status report that will
keep GHD and City informed of progress and will
address critical milestones, status, scheduling,
and areas of concern.
6.2 - Record of Survey
Cinquini & Passarino will create Record of Surveys as
required.
Deliverables
• Record of Survey

For purposes of schedule and scoping, it is under-
stood that condemnation will not be required for ac-
quisition of any property for the project.
Task 7 - Design
It is understood that invoicing will be separated be-
tween grant eligible and non-grant eligible funding
and tasks will be broken out as such. For ease un-
derstanding, the designs of the different attributes of
the projects have been combined in the scope of the
design phase of the project.
7.1 - 30% Plans, Specifications, and Estimate
GHD’s design efforts will include the civil, survey (co-
ordination), landscape architecture, storm drain, utili-
ty, electrical, traffic, technical reports, and engineering
design. The 30% design will include all aspects of the
project, including the Downtown Streetscape, Utilities
and Rule 20 Undergrounding Project improvements.
GHD will prepare 30% plan set that will reflect the
work completed previously through the design work-
shop and community engagement and reflected in
the reports and plans outlining the project intent and
illustrating anticipated improvements. The Team will
begin designing as the topographic survey informa-
tion becomes available, and potential issues and
challenges will be communicated early to the City’s
team so resolution can be reached early and avoid
impacting deliverables.
GHD staff will perform a site visit and note existing
drainage patterns along the length of the project seg-
ment. GHD shall seek to collect surface runoff and
convey it to existing drainage systems and/or newly
constructed LID compliant facilities. In addition, GHD
will prepare a site-specific hydrology and hydraulic
analysis at the culvert to evaluate existing capacity/
flooding concerns.
This project will need to comply with the storm wa-
ter management requirements of the Storm Water
Low Impact Development Technical Design Manual
developed by the City of Santa Rosa and County of
Sonoma, as related to the MS4 Permit. Preliminary
LID layouts will be included with the 30% Submittal,
with the Storm Water Control Plan and additional cal-
culations to be submitted at 60%.
GHD anticipates that the 30% plan set will include
Title Sheet, Typical Sections, Construction Details,
Traffic Striping, Utilities, Rule 20 Undergrounding,
Street Lighting, Landscape Plans and Irrigation Plan.
Layouts will show R/W (TCE) needs, profiles, rough
grading, and drainage, including potential LID facil-
ities. The plan and profile drawings will include pro-
files of the proposed centerline and other applicable
surface features.
GHD has allowed three weeks for City review. GHD
will prepare plans using AutoCAD C3D 2018 or
newer version. Signing and striping plans will be up-
dated from the conceptual format to a construction
document format.
Deliverables
• 30% plan set, and cost estimate (four hard-copy
full size sets) and electronic submittal (pdf)
Services Provided by City
• City will distribute 30% documents and gath-
er comments and will provide one comment
package to GHD from Public Works and one
comment package from the City Electrical Utility
7.2 - 60% Plans, Specifications, and
Estimate
GHD’s design efforts will include the civil, survey (co-
ordination), landscape architecture, storm drain, util-
ity, electrical/street lighting, traffic, and City Electric
Utility. The 60% design will include all aspects of the
project, including the Downtown Streetscape and
Utilities Project improvements. In the budget analy-
sis for the remainder of design efforts, GHD identi-
fied the following four tasks involving the disciplines
noted above:
• Plan Preparation
• Specifications
• Quantity Calculations
• Cost Estimation
GHD will prepare 60% PS&E that will incorporate
responses to the City’s comments on 30% plan set
and also include various refined/additional contract
details. GHD will also provide the City with project
special provisions. GHD will request the current City
Special Provisions standard boilerplate that also in-
cludes the front end portion of the specifications.
GHD will prepare the project specifications using
Phase 1 as an example.
The plan and profile drawings will include profiles of
the proposed centerline and other applicable sur-

Conflict of Interest Statement7.
To the best of our knowledge, GHD Inc. does not have any past, present, or future Conflicts of Interest of any
kind (financial, business, or other relationship) that would result from performing work under this contract for
the City of Ukiah as outlined in this RFP.
GHD Inc. does not have any current clients who may have a financial interest in the outcome of this contract
or the construction projects that will follow.
GHD Inc. does not have any financial interest or relationship with any construction company that might sub-
mit a bid on construction projects under this contract.
To eliminate or avoid any actual or perceived conflicts of interest in the future, GHD commits that no person
having any such interest shall be employed or retained by us under this Agreement. We will not hire the City’s
employees to perform any portion of the work or services specified, including secretarial, clerical and similar
incidental services except upon the written approval of the City.
Litigation8.
GHD trusts the City will appreciate that due to the commercial sensitivity and confidentiality of any litigation
in which GHD may be presently involved, GHD is not at liberty to disclose the information sought. However,
we point out that as a component of its prudent risk management practices, GHD obtains high-quality pro-
fessional liability insurance in the world market and domestically in the US to provide cover in the industries in
which it operates.
As a consequence of engaging in business, there are sometimes claims asserted which may or may not give
rise to litigation. The details and progress of any such claims are by necessity commercially sensitive and re-
main in confidence. We are able to inform you that there have been claims notified in the normal course of
business, none of which we believe are material to the services which are the subject of your RFP.
There are however presently no significant ongoing contract failures, no criminal matters, and there have been
no judgments against GHD Inc. within the last five years.

Professional Services Agreement9.
Contract Acceptance
GHD has reviewed the proposed contract agreement and does not have any issues nor need any changes.
Proposal Terms
GHD affirms that the terms of this proposal shall remain in effect for 90 days from the date this proposal is
submitted.
BST Accounting/Management Software
GHD utilizes BST accounting/project management software. The BST software is specifically designed for
A&E firms/contracts and is designed to meet 48 CFR Part 16.301-3, 49 CFR Part 18, and CFR Part 31 re-
quirements and guidelines. This system has been proven on many federal projects in the past few years.
BST conforms to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. GHD followed the set up instructions that pro-
vides for the segregation of direct costs/indirect costs, identification and accumulation of direct costs by con-
tract, and accumulation of costs under general ledger control. Our system provides a consistent method for
allocation of indirect costs to intermediate and final cost objectives.
The GHD accounting system includes a labor distribution system. This is accomplished by assigning a proj-
ect account number, billing group, task numbers, and subtask numbers. Also a labor distribution system that
charges direct and indirect labor to the appropriate cost objectives.

Jeremy Schmal has over 14 years of experience in civil engineering
working with the public sector. He has performed project management
and project engineer duties on numerous multi million dollar public
works transportation improvement projects, including roundabouts,
roadway widening, utility relocation, intersection improvements and traf-
fic signals, and pedestrian improvement projects. Jeremy also has expe-
rience in construction management, where he has acted as Resident
Engineer and Lead Inspector. Other experience includes traffic engineer-
ing, analysis and planning, federal aid funding, high visibility pedestrian
projects, and construction and bid support.
Project Experience
• Deputy Project Manager | Ukiah Streetscape and Road Diet |
Ukiah, CA | This federally, state and locally funded project includes a
road diet through downtown Ukiah reducing the travel lanes, improv-
ing parking and pedestrian improvements, adding landscaping and
rebuilding the roadway, which includes sections of old concrete
Highway 101 for a half mile of State Street. The project also includes
modification of three traffic signals and sewer and water main
replacements.
• Project Engineer | Healdsburg Five Way Intersection |
Healdsburg, CA | The project included constructing a five way
roundabout, as well as extensive utility improvements. The proj-
ect replaced the existing five legged signalized intersection with a
single lane modern roundabout with an at grade heavy rail cross-
ing traversing through the center of the intersection. The project
also replaced the sanitary sewer trunk main, water mains, storm
drain and reconstructed a box culvert through the intersection.
Responsible for finalizing the plans and specifications and assist-
ing through the bid process through to contract award. Once in
construction he assisted the construction manager handling design
changes and clarifications, RFIs and submittals.
• Project Manager | Devlin Road Segment H and Vine Trail
Extension Project | American Canyon, CA | Managed all aspects
of design of this roadway project through a greenfield in the City of
American Canyon. The nearly 1-mile long new roadway included
design of the extension of the Vine Trail, which is a multi-use master
planned trail through Napa County. It also included right-of-way
acquisition, design of a new box culvert, utility design and coordina-
tion, and LID storm water solutions, such as bio-retention. The road-
way cuts through areas of wetlands which required mitigations and
coordination with multiple government agencies.
• Project Manager | City Hall Campus Sidewalk Reconstruction
| Santa Rosa, CA | Managed pedestrian facility improvement and

Kevin Stankiewicz is a senior traffic engineer with 21 years of experience
involving traffic operation analyses, traffic simulations, traffic forecasting,
coordinated signal timing, signal design, signing and striping plans,
construction traffic control and intelligent transportation systems design.
He has been the traffic lead on corridor studies and large development
traffic impact studies. Kevin has successfully managed projects to be
completed on time, on budget and meeting quality standards. He also
has a track record of preparing PA/ED documents, microscopic traffic
simulation calibration reports, traffic sections for the Environmental
Impact Statement and Environmental Impact Reports, and traffic impact
studies that have been accepted by the client.
Project Experience
• Traffic Engineer | 20th Street SE BAT Lane | Lake Stevens,
WA | Led the traffic operations microscopic simulation analysis in
SimTraffic and the writing of the Traffic Analysis Report for the addi-
tion of a westbound High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV), and Business
Access and Transit (BAT) lane. Met calibration targets by correct
replication of the long westbound queue. Also determined queue
storage lengths needed for left turns to guide the design. The proj-
ect goal was to provide an uncongested westbound lane so that
transit vehicles and high occupancy vehicles can bypass the long
westbound queues in the AM peak period.
• Traffic Engineer | I-405 Express Toll Lanes Between Bellevue
and Lynnwood | Bothell, WA | Prepared the Intersection Control
Evaluation report for the I-405/SR 522 interchange improvements.
The ICE evaluated standard intersections and a diverging diamond
interchange design. The proposed designs added three traffic
signals in order to provide SR 522 access to the I-405 median
Express Lane ramps, posing a challenge to coordinate the closely
spaced signals to maximize the intersection throughput capacity.
Successfully coordinated the interchange signals for both alternative
designs, performing the analysis in VISSIM to more accurately model
the operations of a diverging diamond configuration. The standard
intersection design has been incorporated into the corridor project.
• Traffic Engineer | Highway 99 Sea-to-Sky Corridor Study |
Squamish & Whistler, BC, Canada | Led the traffic operations
analysis and directed the coding of a VISSIM model of the entire
Highway 99 corridor from West Vancouver to Whistler to accu-
rately reflect the conditions of combined ski and commute traf-
fic. A VISSIM model was developed to address both signals and
interchanges in the corridor, passing sections, and multiple hours
of analysis need for the 83-mile-long corridor. Also calibrated the
simulation model to FHWA targets and modified the corridor traffic
simulation model with three year traffic projections. Developed and
tested an increased transit use scenario that eliminated the queuing
by diverting enough person trips from auto to bus.
• Traffic Engineer | Patullo Bridge Replacement | New
Westminster & Surrey, BC, Canada | Performed Synchro inter-
section analysis for new and modified signals on both approaches
to the Patullo Bridge. Developed and tested several alternative
intersection configurations using Synchro and examined alternate
access to the Scott Road Skytrain Station, including new signal
warrant analysis. Translink and the British Columbia Ministry of
Transportation are planning to replace the old Patullo Bridge, poten-
tially including improving the bridge approach structures.

Communities, a California Corporation, for a Mixed-Use Project to Include Commercial and Affordable
Housing Units on Three City-Owned Parcels on 210 East Gobbi Street.

Summary: The City Council is asked to authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a Disposition
Agreement with Danco Communities, a California corporation, for a mixed-use project to include commercial
and affordable housing units on three City-owned parcels at 210 East Gobbi Street.
Background: The City of Ukiah is one of only 29 jurisdictions (cities and counties) in the State of California
that is meeting the State's housing mandates. This is primarily due to the City Council and Staff taking a
proactive approach to sourcing housing in the city, often creating out-of-the-box solutions to address
challenging situations.
In 2019, the City of Ukiah purchased three parcels at 210 East Gobbi Street at Village Circle with the intention
of soliciting development of a mixed-use project on the site. At the same time, the City entered into an
Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (Attachment 1) with Danco Communities, the same developer responsible
for the existing Summercreek Village affordable housing project on Village Circle.
Staff and Danco Communities have been working through the predevelopment stages of this project and now
have a draft Disposition Agreement for consideration.
Discussion: Given the complexity of undertaking low and moderate-income developments and the unique
features of the site, Staff believes the agreement with Danco Communities presents the best opportunity to
achieve the City’s mixed-use development objective for the property. The draft Disposition Agreement
includes language that, among other things, preserves the property for affordable housing and ensures the
ongoing maintenance of the property.
The project is proposed to include 17 studios, 17 one-bedroom apartments, 19 two-bedroom apartments, and
18 three-bedroom apartments, plus a community room and commercial units fronting Gobbi Street. The site is
ideal for this project, as it is on a primary business corridor, conveniently located to services (grocery, drug
stores, medical facilities, and major employment centers) and public transportation.
Danco Communities proposes to purchase the property from the City at fair-market value with terms over 55
years, thereby preserving the project for affordable housing for the entire term. The affordable units shall be
allocated at between 30-80% of area median income. Revenue from that purchase shall be placed back into
Page 522 of 585
Page 2 of 2
Ukiah's Housing Trust Fund in order to further benefit future affordable housing projects.
Danco Communities is working to meet nearing deadlines for the application for tax credits, an important
financing tool for affordable housing projects. Staff is working with the developer on financing options and
other details of the Disposition Agreement. Therefore, in the interest of meeting tax credit financing deadlines
and expediting the further development of housing in Ukiah, Staff recommends the authorization for the City
Manager to negotiate and execute the Disposition Agreement between Danco Communities and the City of
Ukiah. At the time of agenda publication, the draft Disposition Agreement was not available (see Attachment
2, a placeholder); it will be provided in advance of the City Council meeting.
Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a Disposition Agreement with
Danco Communities, a California corporation, for a mixed-use project to include commercial and affordable
housing units on three City-owned parcels at 210 East Gobbi Street.

accordance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, orders and regulations of all federal, state,

5.2 Purpose of Restrictions on Transfer.
This Agreement is entered into solely for the purpose of the development and operation

Disposition Agreement Danco-City of Ukiah.2021 (DevRevisions030121) 30

purposes a transfer or disposition of the Property; and
(e) The fact that the Property is not to be acquired or used for speculation, but only
for development and operation by the Developer in accordance with the Agreement; and
(f) The importance to the Housing Successor and the community of the standards
of use, operation and maintenance of the Property.
The Developer further recognizes that it is because of such qualifications and identity that the
Housing Successor is entering into this Agreement with the Developer and that Transfers are
permitted only as provided in this Agreement.
5.3 Prohibited Transfers.
The limitations on Transfers set forth in this Article shall apply throughout the Term.
Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, the Developer represents and agrees that the

Any Transfer made in contravention of this Section shall be void and shall be deemed to
be a default under this Agreement whether or not the Developer knew of or participated in such
Transfer.
5.4 Permitted Transfers.

(e) The removal by the investor limited partner of a general partner of the Developer and
its replacement pursuant to the terms of the Developer’s Partnership Agreement.
5.5 Effectiveness of Certain Permitted Transfers.
No Transfer of this Agreement permitted pursuant to Section 5.4 (other than a Transfer
pursuant to a Secured Financing under Section 5.4(a) or (b)) or Section 5.6 shall be effective
unless, at the time of the Transfer, the person or entity to which such Transfer is made, by an
instrument in writing reasonably satisfactory to the Housing Successor and in form recordable
among the land records of Mendocino County, shall expressly assume the obligations of the
Developer under this Agreement and agree to be subject to the conditions and restrictions to
which the Developer is subject arising during this Agreement, to the fullest extent that such
obligations are applicable to the particular portion of or interest in the Development conveyed in
such Transfer. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the holder of a Secured Financing
whose interest shall have been acquired by, through or under a Secured Financing or shall have
been derived immediately from any holder of a Secured Financing shall not be required to give
to Housing Successor such written assumption until such holder or other person is in possession
of the Property or entitled to possession of the Property pursuant to enforcement of the Secured
Financing.
In the absence of specific written agreement by the Housing Successor, no such Transfer,
assignment or approval by the Housing Successor shall be deemed to relieve the Developer or
any other party from any obligations under this Agreement.

requested by the Developer. In connection with such request, there shall be submitted to the

PROMISSORY NOTE
(City Loan)
$[_________] __________ __, 202__
For value received, [______________], a California limited partnership (hereinafter referred to
as “Maker”), promises to pay to the order of The City of Ukiah, a municipal corporation
(together with any future holders of this Note, “Holder”), at 300 Seminary Avenue, Ukiah, CA
95482, or as directed otherwise in writing by Holder, the principal sum of [______________
($___________)]. This Note is secured by the Deed of Trust (as defined below) on real property
upon which Maker intends to construct a 70-unit multifamily apartment complex and related
improvements (the “Project”). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Maker’s Amended and Restated Agreement of
Limited Partnership dated as of _______, 202___ (“Partnership Agreement”). [Capitalized terms
to be revised based upon the selection of the Tax Credit Investor.]
1. The Loan. This Promissory Note (the “Note”) evidences the obligation of the Maker to
the Holder for the repayment of funds loaned to the Holder by the Maker (the "Loan") as a seller
carryback to pay Project property acquisitions costs.
2. Interest. This Promissory Note (“Note”) shall bear simple interest at 3% annually.
3. Payments. Annually each year during the term of this Note commencing on the first
Payment Date following the Final Closing, Maker shall pay to Holder the Net Cash Flow
remaining after payment of items noted as clauses (__) through (__) of Section [_____] of the
Partnership Agreement. Accompanying each payment of Net Cash Flow, Maker shall provide
Holder with a detailed accounting of all revenue sources and expenses used to calculate Net Cash
Flow. Maker shall maintain accurate financial records in compliance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principals (“GAAP”) which are auditable and available to the Holder to review,
copy and audited during regular business hours. If any audit or review of such revenues and
expenses establishes that Net Cash Flow was greater than reported to Maker, Holder shall pay
all costs incurred by Maker to conduct the Audit in addition to liquidated damages of __% of the
understated amount.
4. Maturity Date. The principal amount of this Note along with all accrued and unpaid
interest and/or other amounts due shall be due and payable on the fifty-fifth (55) anniversary of
the date of issuance of certificates of occupancy for the Project (the “Maturity Date”); provided,
Page 567 of 585
Page 39
however, that the Maturity Date may be accelerated in accordance with the terms and provisions
of this Note.
5. Security. Payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is secured by that certain
Subordinated Deed of Trust (the “Deed of Trust”), of even date herewith, and made by Maker, as
trustor, to Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, as trustee, for the benefit of Holder,
as beneficiary, which encumbers real property in the County of Mendocino, State of California,
as more particularly described in Exhibit A to the Deed of Trust, together with the improvements
located thereon.
6. Default. If any of the following events (“Events of Default”) shall occur:
(a) a default in the payment when due of any amount hereunder and such payment is
not made within 10 business days after Maker received written notice thereof;
(b) failure to pay all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the indebtedness
evidenced by this Note on the Maturity Date; or
(c) any breach or default under the Deed of Trust past any applicable notice and cure
period,
then, subject to the provisions of the Deed of Trust, all sums of interest and principal remaining
outstanding under this Note shall be deemed automatically and immediately due and payable,
without any declaration or other determination by Holder and without notice of default,
presentment, demand, protest, or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by Maker. The rights of Holder under this Section 6 are in addition to other rights and
remedies which Holder may have.
7. Notice and Cure. [_____________] (the “Limited Partner”) or any other successor entity
in such entity’s capacity as a limited partner of the Maker, shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure any defaults hereunder following 10 business days notice (with respect to
monetary defaults) and 30 business days notice (with respect to non-monetary defaults). In the
event such default requires the removal of the general partner of Maker, the Limited Partner shall
have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to effectuate such removal and cause such
cure. Any default cure tendered by the Maker’s Limited Partner shall be accepted or rejected as
if tendered by the Maker. In the event Maker is provided notice by Holder under the Loan
Documents, Holder shall provide the Limited Partner with simultaneous written notice at the
following address:
[_______________]
8. Prepayment. The principal amount of this Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at
any time without penalty.
9. Interest Rate After Acceleration or Maturity. When this Note becomes due in full,
whether by acceleration (upon an Event of Default or otherwise), by the occurrence of the
Maturity Date, or in any other manner, if Maker fails to pay all amounts due the unpaid principal
Page 568 of 585
Page 40
and interest (if any) balance and costs incurred (and any judgment or decree with respect thereto)
shall, from and after the date due, bear interest until paid at an annual rate of ten percent (10%)
per annum.
10. Waivers by Holder. Holder shall not by any act of omission or commission be deemed to
waive any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver be in writing and signed by
Holder, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver as to any one event
shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of such right or remedy as to the
same event on any other occasion or as to a different event on the same or any other occasion.
11. Waivers by Maker. Maker waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of non-
payment, notice of protest, and protest of this Note and all of the notices in connection with the
delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of the payment of this Note. Maker
consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be
granted by Holder with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and to the release
of the collateral or any part thereof with or without substitution and agree that additional makers,
endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may become parties hereto without notice to them and without
affecting their liability hereunder.
12. Application of Payments. All payments under this Note shall be made in lawful money
of the United States of America. Payments shall be credited first against any costs or expenses
due under this Note, then to any accrued interest (if any), and finally to principal.
13. Interest Rate Limitation. In no event shall the interest rate charged under this Note
exceed the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. In calculating whether any interest
exceeds the lawful maximum, all such interest shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread
over the full amount and term of all principal indebtedness of Maker to Holder, and if through
any contingency or event, Holder receives or is deemed to receive interest in excess of the lawful
maximum, any such excess shall be deemed to have been applied toward payment of the
principal of any and all then outstanding indebtedness of Maker to Holder, or if there is no such
indebtedness, shall immediately be returned to Maker.
14. No Acceleration Upon Transfer or Refinancing. The Maker shall be permitted to sell or
refinance the Project or any interest therein, and, provided such transferee agrees to assume
Maker’s obligations under this Note, the Note shall not become due and payable.
15. Non-Recourse. This Note shall be non-recourse to the Maker, the partners of Maker, and
its or their successors or assigns, and Holder shall look solely to the Property (as such term is
defined in the Deed of Trust) and other collateral granted to the Holder under and pursuant to the
Deed of Trust for satisfaction of its obligations under this Note.
16. Enforcement Costs. Should suit on this Note or foreclosure of the Deed of Trust be
commenced, Maker agrees to pay the costs of foreclosure and such additional sums as a court
may adjudge reasonable as attorneys fees in any suit.
17. Governing Law. Maker hereby agrees and acknowledges that this Note shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Any alteration, change or
Page 569 of 585
Page 41
modification of or to this Note, in order to become effective, shall be made by written instrument
executed by both Maker and Holder.

DEED OF TRUST
(CITY LOAN)
NOTE: This deed of trust contains a subordination clause which may result in your
security interest in the property becoming subject to and of lower priority than the lien of
some other or later security instrument.
THIS DEED OF TRUST is made as of ____________ by [____________], a California
limited partnership (“Trustor”), in favor of COMMONWEALTH LAND TITLE INSURANCE
COMPANY (“Trustee”), for the benefit of THE CITY OF UKIAH (together with any successor
to its rights, duties and obligations), a municipal corporation and existing under the laws of the
State of California (“Beneficiary”).
TRUSTOR, in consideration of the indebtedness herein recited and the trust herein
created, irrevocably grants and conveys to Trustee, in trust, with power of sale, that real property
located in the County of Mendocino, State of California as more fully described in Attachment A
(“Real Property”).
TOGETHER with all the improvements now or hereafter erected on the Real Property,
and all easements, rights, appurtenances and rents (subject however to the rights and authorities
given herein to Beneficiary to collect and apply such rents), all of which shall be deemed to be
and remain a part of the property covered by this Deed of Trust; and all of the foregoing,
together with said property and the Real Property are hereinafter referred to as the “Property”.
TO SECURE to Beneficiary the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by a Promissory
Note, of even date herewith, and extensions and renewals thereof (herein “Note”), in the
principal sum of $_____________.
Trustor covenants that it is lawfully seized of the estate hereby conveyed and has the
right to grant and convey the Property, and that, to the best of Trustor’s knowledge, the Property
is unencumbered except for encumbrances of record. Trustor warrants and will defend generally
the title to the Property against all claims and demands, subject to encumbrances of record.
Page 572 of 585
-3-
A. To protect the security of this Deed of Trust, Trustor agrees as follows:
1. Preservation and Maintenance of Property. Trustor agrees to keep the Property in
good condition and repair to the extent of available funds; not to remove or demolish any
building thereon; to the extent of available insurance proceeds to complete or restore promptly
and in good and workmanlike manner any building which may be constructed, damaged, or
destroyed thereon and to pay when due all claims for labor performed and materials furnished
therefore; to intentionally comply with all laws affecting the Property or requiring any alterations
or improvements to be made thereon; not to commit or permit waste thereof; not to commit,
suffer, or knowingly permit any act upon the Property in violation of law or which constitutes a
nuisance under applicable law.
2. Charges; Liens. Trustor shall pay at least ten days before delinquency all taxes
and assessments affecting the Property, including assessments on appurtenant water stock; when
due, all encumbrances, charges, and liens, with interest, on the Property or any part thereof,
which appear to be prior or superior hereto; all costs, fees, and expenses of this Deed of Trust.
Trustor shall give prompt sufficient notice to Beneficiary of any default under any mortgage,
deed of trust or other security agreement with a lien on the Property to provide Beneficiary with
adequate time to protect its legal interests.
3. Hazard Insurance. Trustor shall keep the improvements and personal property
now existing or hereafter erected on the Property insured against loss by fire, vandalism and
malicious mischief by a policy of standard fire and extended all-risk insurance with sufficient
policy limits to cover the full costs of repair or replacement.
Subject to the rights of senior mortgagees, the insurance policy shall be issued in the
name of the Trustor and the Beneficiary, as their interests appear. The insurance policy shall
contain an endorsement which provides that any proceeds shall be disbursed and used to repair
or rebuild any such improvements so damaged or destroyed.
The full replacement value of the improvements to be insured hereunder shall be
determined by the company issuing the policy at the time the policy is initially obtained.
4. Defense of Security. Trustor agrees to appear in and defend any action or
proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or
Trustee; and to pay all costs and expenses, including cost of evidence of title and attorneys’ fees
in a reasonable sum, in any such action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may
appear.
5. Reimbursement of Costs. Trustor agrees to pay immediately and without demand
all reasonable sums expended by Beneficiary or Trustee pursuant to the provisions hereof, with
interest from date of expenditure at the maximum amount allowed by law in effect at the date
hereof.
Page 573 of 585
-4-
6. Right to Cure. Should Trustor fail to make any payment or to do any act as herein
provided, then Beneficiary or Trustee, but without obligation so to do and with 10 business days
(for payment defaults) and 30 days (for non payment defaults) notice to or demand upon Trustor
and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereof, may make or do the same in such
manner and to such extent as either may deem necessary to protect the security hereof,
Beneficiary or Trustee being authorized to enter upon said Property for such purposes; appear in
and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or
powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance,
charge, or lien which in the judgment of either appears to be prior or superior hereto; and, in
exercising any such powers, or in enforcing this Deed of Trust by judicial foreclosure, pay
necessary expenses, employ counsel, and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees. Beneficiary may make
or cause to be made reasonable entries upon and inspections of the Property, subject to tenant
leases, provided that Beneficiary shall give Trustor notice prior to any such inspection specifying
reasonable cause therefor related to Beneficiary’s interest in the Property, provided, however,
that Beneficiary and Trustee will provide Trustor’s limited partners with written notice and a
reasonable opportunity to cure upon receipt of such written notice. In the event the limited
partner tenders a cure for Trustor’s default, such cure shall be accepted or rejected on the same
basis as if made or tendered by Trustor.
B. It is mutually agreed that:
1. Condemnation Award. Subject to the rights of senior mortgagees, any proceeds
of any insurance on the Property or award of damages in connection with any condemnation for
public use of or injury to the Property or any part thereof is hereby assigned and shall be paid to
Beneficiary who may apply such moneys received by it to any indebtedness secured hereby and
in such order as Beneficiary may determine, or at option of Beneficiary the entire amount so
collected or any part thereof may be released to Trustor. Such application or release shall not
cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to
such notice. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Trustor is not then in default
and proceeds are sufficient therefor, or additional funds are made available to be sufficient
therefor, such proceeds shall be applied to the restoration of the Property.
2. Late Payment. By accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due
date, Beneficiary does not waive its right either to require prompt payment when due of all other
sums so secured or to declare default for failure so to pay.
3. Release and Subordination. At any time or from time to time, without liability
therefor and without notice, upon written request of Beneficiary and presentation of this Deed of
Trust and Note for endorsement, Trustee may reconvey all or any part of said property; consent
to the making of any map or plat thereof; join in granting any easement thereon; or join in any
extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.
4. Reconveyance. Upon written request of Beneficiary stating that all sums secured
hereby have been paid, upon surrender of this Deed of Trust and the Note to Trustee for
cancellation, and upon payment of its fees, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the
Page 574 of 585
-5-
Property. The recitals in any reconveyance executed under this Deed of Trust of any matters or
facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.
5. Rents, Issues, and Profits. As additional security, Trustor hereby gives to and
confers upon Beneficiary the right, power, and authority, during the continuance of these Trusts,
to collect the rents, issues, and profits of the Property, reserving unto Trustor the right, prior to
any default by Trustor in payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in performance of any
agreement hereunder, to collect and retain such rents, issues, and profits as they become due and
payable. Upon any such default, Beneficiary may at any time without notice, either in person, by
agent, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any
security for the indebtedness hereby secured, enter upon and take possession of said property or
any part thereof, in its own name sue for or otherwise collect such rents, issues, and profits,
including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation
and collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, and
in such order as Beneficiary may determine. The entering upon and taking possession of said
Property, the collection of such rents, issues, and profits, and the application thereof as aforesaid,
shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done
pursuant to such notice.
6. Notice. Except for any notice required under applicable law to be given in
another manner, (a) any notice to Trustor provided for in this Deed of Trust shall be given by
delivering it or by mailing such notice by certified mail return receipt requested addressed to
Trustor at [___________], c/o Danco Communities, 5251 Ericson Way, Arcata, CA 95521 Attn:
President, with copies to: [_______INVESTOR____________]
Attention: [________________], or at such other address as Trustor may designate by notice to
Beneficiary as provided herein, and (b) any notice to Beneficiary shall be given by certified mail
return receipt requested to Beneficiary’s address stated herein or to such other address as
Beneficiary may designate by notice to Trustor as provided herein. Any notice provided for in
this Deed of Trust shall be deemed to have been given to Trustor or Beneficiary when given in
the manner designated herein two (2) days after deposit into the United States Mail, or on the
date when personally served on the Trustor or Beneficiary.
7. Assignment. Trustor shall be permitted to assign the Note and this Deed of Trust
and provided such transferee agrees to assume Trustor’s obligations under the Note and this
Deed of Trust, the Note shall not become due and payable.
8. Powers of Sale. Upon default by Trustor in payment of any indebtedness secured
hereby or in performance of any agreement hereunder, after the expiration of applicable notice
and cure periods, all sums secured hereby shall immediately become due and payable at the
option of the Beneficiary. In the event of default, Beneficiary may employ counsel to enforce
payment of the obligations secured hereby, and shall execute or cause the Trustee to execute a
written notice of such default and of its election to cause to be sold the Property to satisfy the
obligations hereof, and shall cause such notice to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of
each county wherein the Property or some part thereof is situated.

Prior to publication of the notice of sale, Beneficiary shall deliver to Trustee this Deed of
Trust and the Note or other evidence of indebtedness which is secured hereby, together with a
written request for the Trustee to proceed with a sale of the Property described herein, pursuant
to the provisions of law and this Deed of Trust.
Notice of sale having been given as then required by law, and not less than the time then
required by law having elapsed after recordation of such notice of default, Trustee, without
demand on Trustor, shall sell the Property at the time and place fixed by it in said notice of sale,
either as a whole or in separate parcels and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to
the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. Trustee
may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and
place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement
at the time and place fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser
its deed conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or
implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the
truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Trustor, Trustee, or Beneficiary, may purchase at
such sale.
After deducting all costs, fees, and expenses of Trustee and of this Deed of Trust,
including cost of evidence of title and reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with sale, Trustee
shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then
repaid; all other sums then secured hereby; and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons
legally entitled thereto.
9. Trustor’s Right to Reinstate. Notwithstanding Beneficiary’s acceleration of the
sums secured by this Deed of Trust due to Trustor’s breach, Trustor shall have the right to have
any proceedings begun by Beneficiary to enforce this Deed of Trust discontinued at any time
prior to five days before sale of the Property pursuant to the power of sale contained in this Deed
of Trust or at any time prior to entry of a judgment enforcing this Deed of Trust if: (a) Trustor
pays Beneficiary all sums which would be then due under this Deed of Trust if the Note had no
acceleration provision; (b) Trustor cures all breaches of any other covenants or agreements of
Trustor contained in this Deed of Trust; (c) Trustor pays all reasonable expenses incurred by
Beneficiary and Trustee in enforcing the covenants and agreements of Trustor contained in this
Deed of Trust, and in enforcing Beneficiary’s and Trustee’s remedies as provided herein,
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees; and (d) Trustor takes such action as
Beneficiary may reasonably require to assure that the lien of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary’s
interest in the Property and Trustor’s obligation to pay the sums secured by this Deed of Trust
shall continue unimpaired. Upon such payment and cure by Trustor, this Deed of Trust and the
obligations secured hereby shall remain in full force and effect as if no acceleration had
occurred.
10. Successors and Assigns. This Deed of Trust applies to, inures to the benefit of,
and binds all parties hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors,
and assigns. The term Beneficiary shall mean the holder and owner of the Note secured hereby;
or, if the Note has been pledged, the pledgee thereof. In this Deed of Trust, whenever the
context so requires, the singular number includes the plural.
Page 576 of 585

11. Other Sales, Actions, or Proceedings. Trustee is not obligated to notify any party
hereto of pending sale under any other deed of trust or of any action or proceeding in which
Trustor, Beneficiary, or Trustee shall be a party unless brought by Trustee.
12. Substitution of Trustee. Beneficiary may from time to time or at any time
substitute a Trustee or Trustees to execute the trust hereby created, and when any such
substitution has been filed for record in the office of the Recorder of the county in which the
Property is situated, it shall be conclusive evidence of the appointment of such Trustee or
Trustees, and such new Trustee or Trustees shall succeed to all of the powers and duties of the
Trustee or Trustees named herein.
15. Subordination. Trustor’s indebtedness evidenced by the Note is and shall be
subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all amounts then due and payable
(including, but not limited to, all amounts due and payable by virtue of any default or
acceleration or upon maturity) with respect to: (i) [senior construction loan TBD].
16. Extended Use Agreement. In order to receive an allocation of federal low-income
housing tax credits, Trustor will be required to record against the Real Property in the real
property records of the County in which the Property is located, an “extended low-income
housing commitment” (as defined in Section 42(h)(6)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (“Code”)) (“Extended Use Agreement”). Beneficiary acknowledges and agrees that,
in the event of a foreclosure of its interest under this Deed of Trust or delivery by the Trustor of a
deed in lieu thereof (collectively, a “Foreclosure”), Beneficiary agrees to comply with the
following rule contained in Section 42(h)(6)(E)(ii) of the Code: For a period of three (3) years
from the date of Foreclosure, with respect to any unit that had been regulated by the Extended
Use Agreement, (i) none of the eligible tenants occupying those units at the time of Foreclosure
may be evicted or their tenancy terminated (other than for good cause, including but not limited
to, the tenants’ ineligibility pursuant to regulations of Section 42 of the Code), (ii) nor may any
rent be increased except as otherwise permitted under Section 42 of the Code.

ITEM NO: 2019-62
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Receive Updates on City Council Committee and Ad Hoc Assignments, and, if Necessary,
Consider Modifications to Assignments and/or the Creation/Elimination of Ad Hoc(s).
DEPARTMENT: City Clerk PREPARED BY: Kristine Lawler, City Clerk
PRESENTER: Mayor Crane and Various Councilmembers
ATTACHMENTS:
1. 2021 City Council Special Assignments
Summary: City Council members will provide reports and updates on their committee and ad hoc
assignments. If necessary, the Council may consider modifications.
Background: City Council members are assigned to a number of committees and ad hoc activities. These
assignments are included as Attachment 1.
Discussion: Previously, the City Council discussed having more time allocated to reporting on committee and
ad hoc activities. Often, the Council Reports section of the regular agenda is rushed due to impending
business (i.e., public hearings), and not enough time is afforded for reports beyond community activities.
In an effort to foster regular updates on committee and ad hoc assignments, this item is being placed on the
agenda to provide the City Council members an expanded opportunity to report on assignments and modify
assignments as necessary.
Recommended Action: Receive report(s). The Council will consider modifications to committee and ad hoc
assignments along with the creation/elimination ad hoc(s).
