"ADMINISTRATIVE USE PERMIT ORDINANCE"
RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF UKIAH, STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL ADOPTION OF ZONING ORDINANCE
AMENDMENTS TO ESTABLISH AN ADMINISTRATIVE USE PERMIT PROCESS, CLARIFY
ANIMAL KEEPING REGULATIONS, AND CONSOLIDATE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
INTO ARTICLE 23 OF DIVISION 9 OF THE UKIAH CI TY CODE
WHEREAS, on December 7, 2022, the Ukiah City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-79
certifying the Environmental Impact Report for the Ukiah 2040 General Plan (State Clearinghouse
No. 2022050556}, which analyzed the environmental impacts of the City's General Plan and
included adoption of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and Statement of Overriding
Considerations; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 65850, the City is authorized to adopt zoning
regulations, including procedures for the issuance of use permits and performance standards for
land use consistent with the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, the proposed ordinance would establish a new Administrative Use Permit (AUP)
process for qualifying small-scale or neighborhood-serving uses; consolidate and reorganize
performance standards into a new Article 23 of Division 9, Chapter 2 of the Ukiah City Code;
clarify distinctions between commercial and personal animal keeping; and update land use
definitions for clarity and consistency; and
WHEREAS, the proposed ordinance implements key programs of the Ukiah 2040 General Plan
Agriculture Element, including Programs C, E, and I, by reducing regulatory barriers for
compatible small-scale agriculture and streamlining permit pathways for community-serving uses;
and
WHEREAS, the ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA}
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the "common sense exemption," as it can be
seen with certainty that the ordinance will not result in a significant effect on the environment, nor
authorize any physical development or new use types; and
WHEREAS, public notice of the Planning Commission hearing on the proposed ordinance was
provided in accordance with Assembly Bill 2904 and Government Code Sections 65090 and
65091, including publication in a newspaper of general circulation, posting at the Civic Center,
and online posting at least 20 days in advance of the hearing; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered all of the information presented to it, including
the Staff Report, public testimony, and supporting documentation; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the ordinance, considered all written and
oral testimony, and finds that the ordinance is in the public interest, supports streamlined
permitting for compatible uses, and is consistent with the General Plan and applicable state law.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Ukiah Planning Commission, based upon
evidence in the record and oral and written testimony presented at public hearings, and all
information contained in the record of proceedings related to the Administrative Use Permit
Ordinance, makes the following findings and recommendations:
1.The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.
Page 1 of 2
2. The proposed changes in the Administrative Use Permit Ordinance are consistent with the
City of Ukiah 2040 General Plan. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65860, a zoning
ordinance is consistent with a general plan if the City has adopted a plan and the various
land uses authorized by the ordinance are compatible with the objectives, policies, general
land uses, and programs specified in the plan. None of the zoning district articles being
modified affect conformity with the 2040 General Plan.
3. The proposed ordinance has been reviewed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)and has been found exempt from environmental review
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the "common sense exemption,"
because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the ordinance will have a
significant environmental effect.
4. That the City Council adopt an ordinance making the changes shown in the Administrative
Use Permit Ordinance, as shown in the attached Exhibit A.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission designates the City Clerk as the
custodian of the document and other materials that constitute the record of proceedings upon
which the Planning Commission decision herein is based. These documents may be found at the
office of the City of Ukiah Department of Community Development, 300 Seminary Avenue, Ukiah,
CA 95482.

ORDINANCE NO.
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH ADDING A NEW SECTION 9269
AND A NEW ARTICLE 23 TO DIVISION 9, CHAPTER 2 OF THE CITY CODE TO ESTABLISH
PROCEDURES AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR THE ISSUANCE OF ADMINSITRATIVE
USE PERMITS.
The City Council of the City of Ukiah hereby ordains as follows:
SECTION ONE. FINDINGS
1. It is a goal of the City to provide a streamlined process for administrative review and
determination on requests for uses and activities that have little to no impact on adjacent sites
and surroundings.
2. Administrative Use Permits (AUPs) provide a discretionary review process for uses requiring
case-by-case evaluation beyond ministerial permits but not rising to the threshold of a public
hearing. This process allows the City to impose conditions and ensure compatibility with
surrounding land uses while streamlining review to avoid unnecessary delays or complexity.
3. Establishing clear performance standards and permit requirements for these uses is necessary
to protect public health and safety, promote neighborhood compatibility, and ensure consistency
with the Ukiah 2040 General Plan. These standards provide a predictable framework for
reviewing uses such as animal keeping, outdoor dining, and live entertainment,while minimizing
potential nuisances and conflicts between adjacent properties.
4. Pursuant to the Ukiah 2040 General Plan, and specifically Agriculture Implementation Program
E, it is the policy of the City to reduce regulation for local agriculture by revising the Zoning Code
to allow low-intensity agricultural activities on residential parcels, including but not limited to
backyard beehives, chickens, and gardens. The revision includes objective use, development,
and environmental standards, along with minimal permit fee requirements.
5. Pursuant to the Ukiah 2040 General Plan, and specifically Agriculture Implementation Program
C, it is the policy of the City to adopt terminology and land use definitions consistent with those
utilized by adjacent jurisdictions within the Ukiah Valley to support regional planning and
potential future annexations.
6. Pursuant to the Ukiah 2040 General Plan, and specifically its Agriculture Implementation
Program I, it is further the policy of the City to facilitate and streamline the permitting process
for the establishment of community gardens within the City.

have an impact only on immediately adjacent properties and can be modified and/or conditioned to ensure
compatibility.

to the uses listed in Division 9, Chapter 2, Article 23 of this Code, subject to any exceptions or additional
requirements and standards as set forth in that Article..

"Broadband Deployment") of the Ukiah City Code, which are subject to separate review procedures and
standards.

administrative use permit.
F. Conditions of approval. The Community Development Director may apply reasonable conditions of
approval to bring the development into conformity with requisite performance standards.

permit and subject to performance standards;
2.The proposed use as conditioned conforms to the performance standards for the proposed use
as outlined in the Performance Standards set forth in Article 23 of this Chapter;
3. The site is physically suited for the type, density, and intensity of the proposed use, including
access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints, and can be conditioned to meet all
related performance criteria and development standards.
4. Any other findings required under Article 23 of this Chapter for the specific use;
5. The use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity, or to
the general welfare of the city;
H. Notice of decision. The Community Development Director shall prepare a written decision which shall
contain the findings of fact upon which such decision is based and conditions of approval, if any. The
decision shall be mailed and/or emailed to the applicant.
I. Appeals. Appeals of decisions on administrative use permits shall be filed within five (5) working days
of the issuance of the permit. Appeals shall be filed and processed in accordance with the procedure for
appeal of a determination regarding a minor discretionary planning permit as set forth in Section 9266 of
this Chapter.
J. Effective date of permit. An administrative use permit shall become effective at the end of the appeal
period as specified in Section 9266 of this Chapter, unless appealed.

Page 11 of 24
i
or structure to which it applies.
L. Extensions.An administrative use permit may be extended by the Community Development Director if
the findings required by Subsection H of this Section remain valid and application is made prior to
expiration.
M. Amendments---New application. Requests for changes in the conditions of approval of an
administrative use permit, or a change to site plans or operation that would affect a condition of permit
approval, shall be treated as an administrative use permit amendment. The procedures for filing and
processing an application for an administrative use permit amendment shall be the same as those
established for an initial or new administrative use permit application.
N. Revocation. An administrative use permit that is exercised in violation of a condition of approval or a
provision of this title may be revoked,as provided in the revocation procedures set forth in Section 9262.H
of this Chapter.
O. New applications following denial or revocation. If an application for an administrative use permit is
denied or revoked, no new application for the same, or substantially the same, administrative use permit
shall be filed within one year of the date of denial or revocation of the initial application, unless the denial
is made without prejudice.
P. Expiration. Administrative use permits are valid for one year unless a different expiration date is
stipulated at the time of approval, a building permit has been issued and construction diligently pursued,
a certificate of occupancy has been issued, or the permit is renewed and extended.

the requirements and procedures for the Administrative Use Permit process.)The performance standards
listed in this Article are intended to explicitly describe the required location, configuration, design,
amenities and operation of specified uses. The performance standards also mitigate potential adverse
impacts on the neighborhood and maintain harmonious uses in the area.The performance standards are
consistent with the goals and policies of the City's General Plan.
§ 9381 ANIMALS WITHIN THE CITY

may be amended, shall be allowed in any zoning district provided that all standards set forth in the
definition in Section 9278 apply.
An application for an Administrative Use Permit allowing exceptions to the standards in Section 9278 may
be authorized under Section 9269 of this Chapter. Issuance of an Administrative Use Permit in that
instance will require the following findings:
1. Compliance with Applicable Laws.The keeping of the animal(s)will not violate any provision of
the Ukiah City Code or any other applicable provision of law.
2. Humane Treatment of Animals. The keeping of the animal as proposed will not result in an
animal receiving inhumane treatment.
3. Odors. The keeping of the animal will not result in obnoxious odors at nearby properties

adverse effect on the health, sanitation, safety or welfare of an occupant of the premises or other
nearby residents.
8. Procreation. The keeping of the animal(s)will not result in procreation which adversely affects
nearby properties or the natural habitat.
C. Beekeeping and Apiaries.

use permit provided they comply with the following standards and requirements:
a. Colony density
L The minimum lot size required for an apiary shall be 4,000 square feet.
ii. The maximum number of hives allowed in an apiary shall be determined
based on lot sizes as follows:
1. 4,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet: 2 hives
2. 10,001 square feet to 43,560 square feet: 4 hives
3. On any lot of 10,001 square feet in size or larger, more than four
beehives may be kept, provided there is an additional lot area of 2,500
square feet for each hive. If a skep, barrel, log gum, or other container are
used instead of boxes for a hive, the dimensions of the hive shall not
exceed the limits of this subsection.
b. Care and Maintenance
i. Hives should not be kept or maintained within any required front yard area.
Hives located within the side and rear yard areas of a lot should maintain a
minimum of a 10-foot setback from side and rear property lines to the hives.
ii. Hives and apiaries shall be kept in a manner that facilitates inspection and
shall be maintained in a sound and usable condition.
iii. In all instances, there shall be one adequate and accessible water source
provided on site and located within 20 feet of the beehive(s). The water source
shall be maintained so as not to become stagnant.
iv. A flyway barrier at least six feet in height but no greater than seven feet in
height shall be erected parallel to the lot line between the hive opening and any
lot line located within 25 feet. The flyway barrier shall consist of a wall, solid
fence, dense vegetation, or a combination thereof extending five feet beyond the
hive in each direction. A flyway barrier of dense vegetation shall not be limited to
seven feet in height provided that the initial planting is four feet in freight and the
vegetation normally reaches six feet in height or higher. Barriers shall be
Page 14 of 24
i
maintained in good condition so that all bees are forced to fly at an elevation of at
least six feet above ground level.
2. All beekepers are required to register their bee colonies with the Mendocino County
Agriculture Commissioner and adhere to all state laws related to the keeping of bees,including
California Food and Agricultural Code, Division 13, Chapter 1, as may be amended from time
to time. Beekepers must also notify the Agriculture Commissioner upon relocation of bee
colonies.
D. Nonconforming Animal Keeping, Declaration of Public Nuisance. The City Council declares to be a
public nuisance any lot where animal keeping is operating in a manner that is not in conformance with
this Section.
E. Other Applicable Laws. Nothing in this Section shall exempt any property from enforcement under
applicable nuisance, animal control, or public health laws. The Community Development Director may
require an administrative use permit if the number, condition, or management of noncommercial animal
keeping poses a risk to health, safety, or welfare.
9382 OUTDOOR SALES AND DISPLAY PROJECTS
Outdoor sales establishments are allowed in all Commercial (C-N, C-1, C-2), and Manufacturing Zoning
Districts provided that they occur for no more than thirty (30) days within a twelve (12) month period, in
