RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH APPROVING A
DEMOLITION PERMIT FOR TWO STRUCTURES OVER 50 YEARS OLD
LOCATED AT 101 AND 105 SOUTH MAIN STREET, UKIAH, CA (APN 002-231-01)
WHEREAS:
1. The City of Ukiah, as the Lead Agency, prepared and adopted an Initial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISMND) for the Project (SCH No. 2022030389)
under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) on May 18, 2022.
2. The City Council previously determined that the structure located at 101 South
Main Street qualifies as a local historic resource.
3. The Mendocino -Lake Community College District (MLCCD) is the current
applicant for the Demolition Permit and has demonstrated that the original
Mitigation Measure CUL-2, which conditioned demolition on approval of a future
development incorporating salvaged materials, is infeasible due to state funding
requirements that require site readiness prior to final design approval.
4. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the City prepared an Addendum to
the previously adopted ISMND to revise Mitigation Measures CUL-2 and CUL-3 in
order to maintain enforceable cultural resource protection regardless of future
development timing or changes in jurisdictional oversight.
5. The Demolition Review Committee reviewed the Addendum at a public meeting
on November 20, 2025, and recommended approval of the demolition permit
subject to revisions to Mitigation Measures CUL-2 and CUL-3, including increasing
the minimum requirement for salvaged or visually similar pressed metal siding to
850 square feet and removing consultation requirements with the Mendocino
County Historical Society.
6. The City Council has independently reviewed and considered the Addendum to
the ISMND, the previously adopted Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program,
the administrative record, and the recommendations of the Demolition Review
Committee.
7. The City Council finds, on the basis of the whole record, that the Addendum does
not result in any new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified impacts, and that the Project, as mitigated, will
continue to reduce the significant environmental impact associated with demolition
of 101 South Main Street to a less -than -significant level.
8. The City Council finds that the Addendum reflects the City's independent judgment
and analysis of the environmental effects of the Project and appropriately supports
reliance on the previously adopted ISMND pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections
15162 and 15164.
