BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
JUNE 26, 2007 MEETING MATERIAL
This packet includes materials intended to facilitate a conversation about potential land use
alternatives for srudy in the EIR as part of the Ukiah Valley Area Plan (UVAP) reassessment
process continues. Specifically, the packet contains:
A. Initial Draft Land Use Menu;
B. UVAP Potential Land Use Alternatives Maps and Summary Tables;
C. Discussion Areas Map;
D. Discussion Area Land Use Alternatives Maps and Summary Tables; and
Appendix: Methodology and Assumptions.
The materials are tools that will help the Board of Supervisors select land use alternatives to
be studied as part of the EIR. A preferred alternative will not be selected at this meeting.
Following analysis of the potential impacts of the land use alternatives, additional meetings
will be held to review findings and determine the preferred land use plan for use in the
UVAP.
A. Initial Draft Land Use Menu
This document presents the range of land use classifications that are used u7 the UVAP Land
Use Alternatives. For each land use classification, the document defines allowable uses,
presents proposed development intensifies, and provides images that are comparable to what
the classification would allow. The Initial Draft Land Use Menu is intended to help readers
associate specific building types with each dassification and visualize future development
styles.
B. UVAP Potential Land Use Alternatives Maps and Summary Tables
Four potential land use alternatives for the entire UVAP area are presented as options fox
discussion and refinement. The first alternative represents a "no project" alternative, which
means it maintains all of the land use classifications currently in place under the existing
County General Plan. Land Use Alternative A, Land Use Alternative B, and Land Use
Alternative C represent different aggregated combinations of the land use options identified
during the Apri124, 2007 Policy Boards Study Session.
In addition to maps of the four alternatives, a summary table compares the amount of each
land use classification, and the potential developmt nt allowed, within each alternative.
Figures fox the City of Ukiah and the unincorporated region outside the Discussion Areas
have also been included for comparative purposes.

APPENDIX 1: METHODOLOGY AND PROCESS UTILIZED TO
QUANTIFY POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
WITHIN THE UKIAH VALLEY AREA PLAN
INTRODUCTION
The County of Mendocino Planning Team Staff in conjunction with the consulting team at Moore
lacofano and Goltsman developed a process to create a set of numbers that will be utilized in the
planning process. This document describes the process utilized to generate the information
supplied for the June 26, 2007 Board of Supervisor's Meeting on the UVAP.
INITIAL GIS DATA SOURCES
The land use analysis process began with a selection of base geographic data. These were as
follows:
• The UVAP Boundaries
• July 2006 Parcel Data for areas within the UVAP Boundary file
• City limits for Ukiah
• The nine Change Areas as identified by MIG
• The three Redevelopment areas
• 2004 and 2005 aerial images.
• County identified multifamily Rezone Project target sites
• City of Ukiah supplied layer identifying vacant and underutilized lands within city limits.
• City and County Zoning shapefiles
• Areas sloped at 15% or greater.
• City, County and State road segments.
These data sources were the initial ones drawn upon for land identification purposes. As the
process progressed, additional GIS layers were added or created. (Layers will be identified when
they are added or created)
PLANNING DOCUMENTS UTILIZED
Planning Team staff utilized the following documents for advice and guidance.
• The 2003 UVAP document
• The Mendocino County General Plan
• The Mendocino County Zoning Code -Inland Division
• The City of Ukiah Zoning Code
• The Mendocino County Redevelopment Project Report, Volume 1
• The 2004 Mendocino County Housing Element
PROFESSIONAL RESOURCES UTILIZED
Communication with a number of city and county planning professionals provided additional
guidance to the development of the baseline and alternative land use scenarios. These individuals
will be noted in the document at the appropriate section.
1. Staff overlaid UVAP parcel data over the 2005 aerial data, excluding tribal and governmental
lands. Staff selected all parcels that appeared to be vacant or under cultivation within the
areas described above in the inclusions section. Comparisons were made against the 2004
aerial for additional clarification. Later review of the aerials and field visits removed some
properties initially identified in this step.
2. The parcels identified as vacant or underutilized by the city of Ukiah Staff were added in.
Staff consulted with the Planning Director, Charley Stump and City Planning Commissioner
Judy Pruden to refine and update their identified parcels. Some properties were added and
others deleted.
3. The parcels identified as vacant or underutilized by the Redevelopment Agency were added
in. Many were already included from step 1, with the rest being included at this step.
4. Staff added Pipeline Project sites (if not already identified), specific requests by policy
makers (e.g. a Supervisor) and the County-initiated Housing Element Action 4.2 Multifamily
Residential Rezone Project.
Parcels identified in steps 1-4 were aggregated together into a new shapefile called
DEVELABLOCKS1. This file formed the basis for future calculations once all lands had been added
into the set.
At this point, the first part of the Potentially Developable Land identification process has been
completed. It is important to note that this phase identified a number of properties were
development is difficult or impossible due to regulatory or physical constraints. The succeeding
phases of this study will refine this selection, removing some parcels from further consideration and
assigning values to the rest.
Two other identification phases needed to be conducted before those steps could be taken.
UNREALIZED RURAL DEVELOPMENT
The Ukiah Valley contains a number of parcels with residential zoning classifications (RR-, RMR-,RL
and AG) that are more than twice their allowed minimum sizes (e.g. a 10 acre property zoned RR-5).
These properties should also be included in the overall development calculations as their zoning
classifications would allow for a relatively simple subdivision of land into smaller parcels, each of
which could result in a new residential unit being created. Staff was interested in determining how
many new residential properties in the UVAP region could be created in this manner and including
those figures in the overall calculations of future development. This phase was separated from the
preceding one due to the different nature and implications of this set of calculations.
Analysis proceeded as follows
1. Planning Team created a new field in the UVAP parcel record called DIV_PARC and placed
within it the calculated number of parcels that could be created by dividing the ACREAGE
field by the MINPARI field (minimum lot size).
2. All residential property types with a DIV_PARC value of under 2.00 (meaning less than 2
legal sized properties could be created from the existing parcel) were excluded from further
calculations.
3. All properties with a value of 2.00 or greater were coded as "Y--" and their respective zoning
classification to reflect that they could be divisible under the existing Zoning Code. The
DIV_PARC value was converted to an integer and placed into the NEW PARCEL field,
without rounding up to reflect the fact all new parcels must be at the minimum lot size and
that no "partial" parcels can be created. For example, a property with a DIV_PARC value of
3.98 would translate into a NEW_PARCEL value of 3.
4. The properties identified as "Y=' (able to be split) were overlaid against the existing data.
• If the block is in the Flood Plain or an Airport zone.
• If the property is currently being cultivated or under Williamson Act protection
Additionally, staff manually assigned an ID number and a short code for the type of development
possible for the property, which was based on the existing general plan and zoning code and a
review of nearby parcel development patterns with a similar zoning classification.
Examples of this include Commercial-Suburban or Residential-Multifamily. These codes were used
tc assist in determining the appropriate land use formulas to use to calculate the potential housing
units and leasable commercial space figures.
ADDITIONAL VARIABLE DEVELOPMENT
One additional factor-the coverage ratio-needed to be determined. The purpose of this variable is
to express the percentage of the commercial lot that would typically be utilized as leasable square
footage. Since the Mendocino County Inland Zoning Code does not express a maximum lot
coverage amount, staff utilized the existing built environment as a guide to determine the appropriate
coverage factor for each particular area. To determine the appropriate value, a series of tests were
performed on most of the existing commercial areas within the UVAP area. The test proceeded as
follows:
1. Staff created a shape that corresponded with the property lines of the commercial area
being surveyed. The total square footage was calculated.
2. Staff utilized the aerial images to "remove' an area equivalent to the building's footprints.
The square footage of the remaining area was calculated.
3. The remaining area was subtracted from the total area to produce a "covered" area total.
4. The covered area was divided by the (site) total to arrive at a coverage factor.
Results of these commercial tests were arranged to select the best overall variable for a variety of
situations in the No Project (Existing Plans) scenario. The following coverage ratios were used in
the No Project calculations and were added to the DEVELABLOCKS layer:
1.0 - Commercial Outparcels in existing shopping centers
0.66 -Central Ukiah average individual parcel coverage
0.50 - Calpeila "core" commercial parcel coverage
0.40 -Downtown Ukiah average overall coverage factor (used for the larger
developable areas)
0.30 -Typical non-downtown or core area commercial coverage factor
The 0.3 coverage factor predominated fairly consistently from large regional-retail shopping centers
to small service commercial spaces. Most areas identified for development utilized this ratio for the
No Project alternative.
Other coverage factors were added later for use with some of the alternatives. Those factors will be
discussed in the appropriate section.
HOUSING CALCULATION FORMULAS
Staff also calculated a set of formulas that would help determine the number of single family and
multifamily housing units that could be constructed on a developable parcel or area.
Single Family
• NP_DU_SF - Number of permissible single family homes that could be constructed under
the existing plans
• NP_DU_MF - Number of permissible multifamily homes that could be constructed under the
existing plans. Unlike MUMFRMX, these units are located in residential zones, typically the
R-2 and R-3 zones.
NP_AG, NP_OS -Square footage of newly created AG/Open Space land (not used in the
No Project Scenario)
• NP_COMMENT -Short descriptive narrative on the particular area.
These, when combined with the descriptive fields and identified formulas form the No Project data.
NO PROJECT CALCULATIONS
Staff manually entered the appropriate values and text to the following fields based on GIS analysis:
NP_USE, NP_TYPE, NP_RET, NP_COVFAC, N_FLRS, NP_DU_AC and NP_COMMENT
Using the calculated formulas, the geographic area tool, along with standard spreadsheet functions
staff filled in the rest of the No Project table fields.
Two types of commercial area calculations were preformed within the UVAP region. For potentially
developable areas that encompassed single parcels or small groups of them within an already-built
area (infill) staff utilized one of the standard commercial area coverage factors listed above. For
larger developable areas where an internal street network did not exist, staff utilized the 0.40 factor
that corresponds to the entire downtown core of Ukiah to determine potential the leasable
commercial square footage.
ERROR CORRECTION
Staff and consultants to reviewed the resulting data in order to identify errors of any type.
Crosschecks were also made on the mathematical calculations.
ALTERNATIVE SCENARIOS
As directed by the Board of Supervisors, staff developed a set of potential alternative land use maps
for each discussion area. These maps were based on the range of expressed visions for the
discussion areas from the March 10, 2007 Design Workshop and feedback from the Joint Policy
Board meeting on April 24, 2007. In several discussion areas, conflicting visions gave rise to
different alternatives.
MAP CREATION
Staff created the specific alternative maps for each of the various Discussion Areas, had them
reviewed by the consultants and calculated the resulting area figures. Those maps were then
overlaid against the development blocks to narrow down the calculations to only those areas
previously identified as developable.
ALTERNATIVES FIELDS
The following fields were created for all three alternative scenarios:
• Ax NAME -Alternative Number and name
• Ax_USE12 A3_TYPE12 -First one or two uses possible in the development block

Honorable Board of Supervisors
501 Low Gap Road, Room 1090
Ukiah, Ca 95482
RE: Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Selection of Potential Land Use Altemadves for the
Ukiah Valley Area Plan
1onorable Chair Smith and Members of the Board
We urge you to assess the various land use alternatives in light of the vision and principles that were
unanimously endorsed at the April 24~h joint study session. VG'c believe that application of the vision
and principles, and other relevant data, to the land use alternatives will logically suggest some as
being more appropriate than others.
1~'or example, the UVAP Economic Background Report prepared by Economic & Planning Systems,
indicates a need for only 200,000 additional square feet of retail development countywide by 2025.
Moreover, the Applied Development Economics report submitted June 19~h, suggests a need for
slightly over one million square feet of retail in the trade area-which includes all of Lake County and
parts of Humboldt and Sonoma-by 2026. Given an exacting ina~enaory of between 2.6 and over 5.2
million square feet of commcrciallp zoned land in the Valley (according to the "UVAP Totals" page
included in your packet), there is no compelling reason to rezone additional land fox commercial
purposes, including retail.
The "UVAP Totals" page also shows that there axe 1,414 housing units that can be developed in the
Valley with current zoning. Given the current requirement to rezone ~0 acres count}nvide to
accommodate multi-family residential, a significant portion of which is likely to be in the Ukiah
Valley, there appears to be little need at this time to designate significant additional land for housing
development In keeping with the UVAP vision and principles, additional needed housing can most
appropriately be provided with inftll and mixed use development that is sensitive to the small town
rural character of our area.
A fair and equitable agreement on tax sharing will reduce or eliminate economic competition, thereby
positioning the City and County- to make land use decisions based on sound planning principles
rather than anticipated revenue accordingly, we believe that a tax sharing agreement and
consideration of related issues ought to be an integral part of the process and that their timel}'
resolution will have a significant bearing on the successful implementation of the Ukiah Valley Area
Plan.
~Ve look forward to working collaboratively with you on these vitally important issues.
Very Truly Yours,
Mari Rodin Doug Crane Phil Baldwin John McCowen Benj Thomas
