Proposed Amendment No. 3 to W& K Agreement Approved:' Candace Horsley, ity Manager Page 2 July 23, 2007 Authorize the Execution of Amendment No. 3 to the Winzler & Kelly Consultant Service Agreement dated June 27, 2002 and the Expenditure of an Additional $6,000 from the Orchard Ave Bridge Fund for the Purpose of Incorporating Additional Design Changes BACKGROUND: On November 1, 2006, the City Council authorized the execution of Amendment No. 2 in the amount of $26,474.00 for the purpose of making major post final design changes to the Project Plans in response to comments received from the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, the California Department of Fish and Game and the US National Marine Fisheries Service as a result of the City's application for a Section 401 Water Quality Certification, a 1602 Stream Bank Alteration Permit, and a Corps of Engineer's 404 Permit. The City received a confirming letter from the NCRWQCB staff dated August 4, 2005 outlining the requested changes to the project design with the additional stipulation that the Ciry provide documentation indicating the method by which the City would require new development within the Brush Street Triangle to incorporate Best Management Practices (BMP) to achieve long term storm water treatment of road and onsite runoff for each new proposed development. Many of the requested changes affected adjacent private property as well as affecting infrastructure that would eventually be transferred to the County of Mendocino Transportation Department. On August 18 and October 28, 2005, City Staff met with Dan Thomas and George Rau to discuss the requested change in the relocation of the storm drainage outtall and the incorporation of bio-swales for road runoff. Mr. Thomas consented to locating the drainage ouffall to the west side of the bridge and outside the planned right of way and consented to placing bio-swales on his property under qualified conditions. On November 9, 2005, City staff met with representatives of the County Department of Transportation and Rural Communities Housing Development Corporation to discuss the relocation of the drainage outtall and the incorporation of bio-swales on private property. A consensus was reached whereby the outtall would be relocated to the west side of the bridge and the bio-swales would be located on the adjacent properties and be incorporated into the landscape design of the future private developments. The property owners would maintain the bio-swales and the City and County would hold the property owners harmless for any hazardous waste spills originating within the roadway and draining into the bio-swales. The Ciry received written notice from the NCRWQCB dated December 19, 2005, that the City's application for a Section 401 Water Quality Certification was denied, without prejudice, because the revised plans and. requested documentation had not been submitted. However, the notice did indicate that if the City submitted the requested design changes within one year of the date of the denial, the City's application would be re- activated and appropriate action taken. It was stipulated in Amendment No. 2 that the requested design changes would be incorporated into the plans and the revised plans submitted to the City by December 8, 2006. Winzler and Kelly submitted revised plans by the deadline, but because of the ongoing design effort taking place for the proposed multi- family, residential development on the adjacent RCHDC property (RCHDC Project), not all the design changes could be finalized. This was communicated to NCRWQCB staff in the City's letter dated December 12, 2006 with a request for an extension of time. It was stated that the City of Ukiah with the cooperation of other project stakeholders had resolved several major project issues and was very near in incorporating all of the requested changes into the Final Plans. Page 3 July 23, 2007 Authorize the Execution of Amendment No. 3 to the Winzler & Kelly Consultant Service Agreement dated June 27, 2002 and the Expenditure of an Additional $6,000 from the Orchard Ave Bridge Fund for the Purpose of Incorporating Additional Design Changes On January 23, 2007, the NCRWQB nofrfied the City in writing that the request for an extension to the application period for the Federal Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification had been denied and that the City would be required to submit a new application. At the request of Cathy McKeon, P.E. of Rau and Associates, Project Engineer for the RCHDC Project, City staff met with representatives of the County of Mendocino Transportation Department on March 8, 2007 to discuss requested changes to the proposed bio-swales that were to be located on private property. Because of site constraints and the need to locate the proposed residential structures closer to the west side of the proposed extension of Orchard Ave, the Project Engineer for the RCHDC Project requested that the City and County consider changing the typical street section to include the bio-swale within the street right of way between what would be the edge of pavement and the new curb. The need for benching the north side of Orr Creek was also discussed. The City and County staff agreed to locate the bio-swales or grassy swales in the street right of way and to include benching work under the proposed bridge including transitions to the existing bank configuration. The requested changes require additional revisions to the Final Plans which were not included in Amendment No. 3. Attached is Winzler and Kelly's estimate of the cost to make the additional changes to the Final Plans including revising the plan for the relocation of the grassy swales, changing storm drain inlet locations, and incorporating new grading under and adjacent to the bridge. Compensation would be made on a time and expense basis not to exceed the maximum compensation of $6,000. Staff believes the proposed cost for making the described changes is reasonable.

CONSULTING ENGINEERS Marc Solomon, Region Manager Date END OF AMENDMENT ITEM NO: 6a DATE: July 23. 2007 AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING THE AIRPORT INDUSTRIAL PARK PLANNED DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY: The owner of nine parcels (14.5 acres) in the southeast portion of the Airport Industrial Park has applied to change the land use designation from "Industrial/Automotive Commercial" and "Industrial" to "Light Manufacturing/Mixed Use." No development of this property is proposed at this time, but a number of potential developers have expressed interest in pursuing approval of retail commercial development. The existing "Industrial/Automotive Commercial" and "Industrial" land use designations do not permit retail commercial development unless it is automotive related, whereas the proposed land use designation would permit non-automotive related retail commercial development. Any future development proposal would be subject to the Use Permit process and require Planning Commission approval. The purpose of this Agenda Item is to facilitate the conduct of a public hearing, provide an opportunity for the Council to discuss the Planning Commission's recommendations, and potentially introduce the Ordinance amending the Airport Industrial Park Planned Development. The attachments to this ASR include the recommended Mitigated Negative Declaration and a complete version of the Airport Industrial Park Planned Development Ordinance with proposed language deletions illustrated by •-`-~,l~o~ and language additions highlighted in yellow. Language is being modified to reflect the proposed change in land use designations and to provide minor clarifications. The Land Use Map at the end of the Ordinance has been modified to reflect the proposed rezoning of parcels. (Continued on page 2) RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Conduct a public hearing; 2) Approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and 3) Introduce the Ordinance amending the Airport Industrial Park Planned Development. ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTION: Do not introduce the Ordinance and provide direction to Staff.

Recommended Mitigated Negative Declaration 2. Amended Airport Industrial Park Planned Development Ordinance 3. Planning Commission minutes, dated June 13, 2007 4. Map of Airport Industrial Park and Rezone Area. APPROVED: Candace orsley, City Manager 1 BACKGROUND: The Planning Commission Staff Report (Attachment No. 3) included background information regarding the Airport Industrial Park. It is reprinted here for the City Council. History of the Airport Industrial Park In 1979, the City proposed to annex the 138-acre Airport "Industrial" Park area into the City limits. Prior to annexation approval, the City obtained a State grant to prepare a Specific Plan for the area. In 1981, the City Council approved the Specific Plan and Planned Development zoning regulations to implement the plan. Shortly thereafter, the annexation was approved. The 1981 Planned Development regulations allowed only industrial land uses south of Commerce Drive. Office commercial uses were allowed in the northwest corner of the site north of Commerce Drive and up to Talmage Road. Highway oriented commercial land uses (motels, service stations, and restaurants) were permitted in the northeast corner of the site where Walmart, Jack-in-the-box and the Shell gas station are today. The Planned Development regulations were modified many times over the ensuing years for a variety of reasons. These reasons included amendments to allow more retail land uses, amendments to establish a more comprehensive and clearer set of development standards, amendments to allow the mixing of land uses, etc. As a result, the Airport Business Park has evolved into a development of retail stores, lodging facilities, restaurants, and professional offices. The Mendocino Brewing Company is the lone industrial land use in the Park. The Airport Business Park was commonly referred to as the Redwood Business Park until the City Redevelopment Agency acquired a number of parcels adjacent to the south. When this acquisition occurred, the entire area was then referred to as the Airport Industrial Park. Based on the evolution of development within the Park, it is now commonly referred to as the Airport Business Park. The Program Environmental Impact Report for Build-out of the Park-What is it? In 1995, the City Council certified a "Program" Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for build-out of the Airport Business Park. Build-out was based on a series of development assumptions that included types of land uses and building intensities and square footages. The EIR identified a number of significant impacts that would result from build-out and included a comprehensive mitigation program to reduce or eliminate these impacts. Over the years, the City has relied on the Program EIR and has consistently imposed the mitigations on all new development. To mitigate Walmart traffic, the Business Park property owners, Walmart, and the City made a number of improvements to Talmage Road, Airport Park Boulevard, and Hastings Avenue. Additionally, a Traffic Impact (Capital Improvement) fee was adopted for all future development, so that additional required street and intersection improvements could be funded as build-out occurred. The proposed rezoning prompted a concern about traffic impacts because the permitted uses under the proposed zoning classification would allow full retail commercial development where the existing development would not. Retail commercial development generates more traffic than industrial land uses or an auto-row type development. A traffic study was performed to evaluate this change and the results are discussed below. 2 The Planned Development Ordinance -What is it? As described above, the zoning regulations governing the Airport Business Park are contained in an Ordinance separate from the Ukiah Municipal Code. This "Planned Development" Ordinance implements the General Plan "Master Plan" designation for the site. It separates the 138 acre area into six land use categories that contain separate allowed and permitted land uses, development standards, an overall circulation plan, and a Section addressing discretionary review requirements. In 1999, the Planned Development Ordinance was amended by the City Council to designate the 32 acres west of Airport Park Boulevard and south of Commerce Drive to "Industrial/Mixed Use." This change broadened the types of uses that could be permitted in this area. The designation was changed again in 2004 to "light Manufacturing/Mixed Use" to provide for a compatible mix of light manufacturing activities, commercial land uses, professional offices, and limited low density residential uses. Site planning and design standards were adopted to require a higher level of architecture, landscaping and pedestrian oriented design. The applicant is requesting that this "Light Manufacturing/Mixed Use" zoning classification be applied to the subject area and replace the "Industrial/Automotive Commercial" classification. Why was the subject property zoned 'Industrial/Automotive Commercial? In 1997, the 16 acres south of the Friedman Brothers Home Improvement Store and east of Airport Park Boulevard were rezoned from °Industrial" to "Industrial/Automotive Commercial." The purpose of that rezoning was to encourage and attract automobile sales and related land uses while preserving opportunity for industrial development. The Existing Capital (TrafFc) Improvement Program -What is it? On May 7, 1997, the Ukiah City Council adopted resolution No. 97-70 establishing capital improvement fees which are imposed on undeveloped parcels within the Airport Industrial Park upon their development in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act. The capital improvement fees are imposed on development within the Airport Industrial Park for the purpose of financing the design and construction of street infrastructure improvements needed to mitigate traffic impacts to off-site intersections resulting from increased traffic generated by the new development within the AIP. The remaining required traffic improvements involve the intersections of the Hastings Ave./Washington St. and South State Street and Airport Park Boulevard and Talmage Road. The Hastings Avenue improvements include land acquisitions on the north and south side of the westbound approach to accommodate a new exclusive left turn lane and an existing through/right turn lane and the construction of larger curb returns to accommodate turning truck traffic. It also includes re-striping the eastbound approach to accommodate an exclusive left turn lane on Washington St., and extending the two northbound through lanes on South State Street north of Hastings Ave/Washington Street. The Talmage Road/Airport Park Blvd. intersection improvements include the widening of the north side of Talmage Road to accommodate a second left turn lane for westbound traffic and the planned mitigation improvement for the US 101 off-ramp at Talmage Road involves the widening of the north side of Talmage to accommodate the construction of an exclusive lane for 3 right turning vehicles. These improvements are in the currently in the design stage and construction is planned for Summer 2008. PROJECT ISSUES There are a number of issues associated with the rezoning request that deserve discussion. The following text identifies and analyzes those issues. 1. Anticipated Land Use: If the rezoning is approved, it is anticipated that retail commercial and restaurant land uses will likely be proposed. This is a change from the "auto- row" envisioned in 1997, and while consistent with the permitted land uses in the proposed Light Manufacturing/Mixed Use classification, would not result in light manufacturing, residential, or professional offices or a compatible mix of these uses. The °auto-row" opportunity has been established for ten years, yet only one auto dealership has proposed and approved. No industrial land uses have been proposed on the property for at least fifteen years, if ever at all, and the complexion of the entire Park has evolved from an original vision of predominantly industrial to a mix of professional offices, retail sales, restaurants and hotels. The interest in developing these types of land uses in the Park remains high. In the larger picture, the growth pressure in the Ukiah Valley has changed in the past ten years. There are currently large scale urban-type development projects proposed or contemplated outside the City limits, including an approximate 700,000 square foot commercial retail mall on the former Masonite property. This commercial project is controversial because of its size and location. One perspective is that intensive retail commercial development belongs in the City and efforts should be made to infill within the City limits before permitting this type of development outside the City limits. The proposed rezoning provides additional opportunity for this to occur. 2. Traffic: The Public Works Department required a Traffic Study to determine the existing levels of traffic, the projected traffic resulting from the proposed rezoning, and whether or not the existing traffic mitigation program was adequate to handle any increase in traffic volumes. The Study revealed that the existing required and planned Traffic Improvements for the Airport Business Park are adequate to handle the increase in traffic resulting from the proposed rezoning except for the Commerce Drive and Airport Park Boulevard intersection. This intersection will need a traffic signal to maintain the General Plan minimum acceptable Level of Service "D" for commercial intersections PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW: On June 13, 2007, the City Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and discussed the proposed re-designation of parcels within the Airport Industrial Park. After discussing a number of issues, including possible future amendments to the ordinance to allow more housing opportunities in the AIP, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and proposed Ordinance amendment. CONCLUSION: The owner of a number of parcels in the Airport Business Park is requesting approval to rezone the property. The likely development that would follow in the future would be retail commercial, restaurants, and similar uses. The proposed rezoning would allow for the City to provide additional opportunity for retail commercial development to infill within the City limits in an area that has evolved with these types of land uses. The traffic impacts resulting from the proposal have been analyzed and additional traffic mitigation is necessary, which will be required as future development occurs. 4 Attcschrr,ent # of MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION DATE: May 16, 2007 APPLICANTS: Redwood Business Park (Gary Ackers(rom, Agent) PROJECT NO.: Rezoning 06-46 LOCATION: 1285, 1295, and 1325 Airport Park Blvd., Ukiah, CA PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicants are proposing to rezoning 6 parcels from "IndustriallAUtomotive Commercial" to "Light Manufacturing/Mixed-Use" (8 acres), and 1 parcel from "Industrial" to "Light Manufacturing/Mixed-Use' (6.5 acres). ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING: The project site is boated in the southern portion of the Airport Business Park. The Mendocino Brewing Company bottling plant is located to the southwest and the retail shopping portion of the ABP is situated to the north, ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: City Staff conducted an Initial Environmental Study and analyzed of whether or not the proposed rezoning would have a significant adverse impact on the environment. It was concluded that while potentially significant adverse impacts could occur to traffc circulation, biotic resources, geology and soils,hydrology, visual quality, land use energy use, and air quality, the mitigation program contained in the 1995 certified Program Environmental Impact Report would successfully eliminate or reduce the impacts to insignifcant and acceptable levels. The Program EIR is referenced and incorporated herein. FINDINGS SUPPORTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION: 1.

Environmental Setting: The subject property consists of 9 parcels located in the southern portion of the Airport Business (Industrial) Park. The Mendocino Brewing Company is located to the south/southwest, and the Ken Fowler Automotive sales facility is situated to the north. Highway 101 boarders the site to the east, and Airport Park Boulevard runs north to south along the west side of the subject parcels. lO.Projed Description: The applicants are proposing to rezoning 6 parcels from "Industrial/Automotive Commercial" to "Light Manufacturing/Mixed-Use" (8 acres), and 1 parcel from "Industrial" to "Light Manufacturing/Mixed-Use" (6.5 acres). No development or construction are proposed as a part of the project. 11.PIans, Exhibits, and other Submitted Application Materials: The Rezoning application materials are available for review at the City of Ukiah Department of Planning and Community Development - 300 Seminary Ave., Ukiah. 12.Initial Study Prepared by: Ukiah Planning Department Staff 2 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Potential Impacts: City Staff conducted an Initial Environmental Study and analyzed of whether or not the proposed rezoning would have a significant adverse impact on the environment. It was concluded that while potentially significant adverse impacts could occur to Biotic Resources (Wildlife and Vegetation), Geology and Soils, Hydrology, Visual Quality, and Air Quality, the mitigation program contained in the 1995 certifed Program Environmental Impact Report would successfully eliminate or reduce the impacts to insignificant and acceptable levels. The Program EIR is referenced and incorporated herein. Additionally, a revised Traffic Study was prepared under contract with the Ciry of Ukiah Department of Public Works to determine what difference in traffic volumes would result from the proposed rezoning and whether or not the existing traffic mitigation (Capital Improvement Program) was adequate to accommodate any changes in traffc volumes. The Traffic Study, prepared by Omni-Means Engineers/Planners, reached a number of conclusions. First, the existing volumes of traffic in the Airport Business Park approximately what was projected in the Program EIR and subsequent studies for the level of current build-out. Second, the traffic resulting from the proposed rezoning on the subject property would exceed the volumes expected under the previous zoning designation. Finally, the existing traffc mitigation program (CIP) would not be adequate to ensure acceptable Levels of Service at the Airport Park Boulevard/Commerce Drive intersection. This conclusion is consistent with the conclusion reached in the W-Trans Traffic Study for the 2004 rezoning of the 32-acres west of Airport Park Boulevard. Both studies recommended a traffic signal at this intersection as a successful mitigation measure. Additionally, some lane re-striping on Talmage Road is necessary. No Potential Impacts Areas: Staff concluded that the proposed Rezoning of the subject 14.5 acres would cause no potential adverse impacts related to Agricultural Resources, Mineral Resources, Noise or Population and Housing. This conclusion is based on the fact that no agricultural land exists on or adjacent to the site, no mineral resources are located on or adjacent to the site, and the proposed change in zoning classifcation would not increase the local population or reduce or eliminate any housing stock. Based on the conclusions reached in this Initial Environmental Study, it has been determined that the proposed proiect, as mitioated, will not violate any of the signifcance criteria, and therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate for the project. 3 ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this protect and are discussed in this Initial Environmental Study: ,. ......,., ,~..,.,,.~ ~~ .,y~~~~~~~~a~ ropuiauon ' Re sour[es ,_ _ _ X ~Biological I Resources _ ~ Cultural _~ Resources X J i Geology and I Soils '~, Hazards and ~ i Hazardous i X "Hydrology and- V/ater Quality X ; ~__ Lan' d Use I Matenals _ - I Mineral ~ Noise ~ X Air Quality Resources i Public Services Recreation ~ X ' Traffic I Utilities 'Housing x Energy Use ~I DETERMINATION On the basis of this Initial Environmental Evaluation: On the basis of this Initial Study.

It included mitigation measures for alt the identifed impacts including those to Biotic Resources (Wildlife and Vegetation), Geology and Soils, Hydrology, Visual Quality, Land Use, Energy Use, and Air Quality. On October 18, 1995, the City Council adopted Resolution 96-23 certifying the Program EIR for the buildout of the Airport Industrial Park. In doing so, it made specific Endings for each identified impact and listed the mitigation measures adopted to successfully offset the impacts. The Council also made specific findings and prepared a statement of overriding considerations for some traffic impacts (extension of Airport Road to Townsend and Norgard Lanes). Resolution 96-23 is attached to this Initial Environmental Study and incorporated herein. Staff analyzed the rezoning proposal to determine if the proposed zoning could result in development that would cause different environmental effects than those identifed for the current zoning in the Program EIR. For Biotic Resources (Wildlife and Vegetation), Geology and Soils, Land Use, Energy Use, Visual Quality, Hydrology, Visual Quality, and Air Quality, it was concluded that the 1995 Program EIR mitigation program would adequately offset the impacts. This determination was based on the following: 1. The allowed building coverage for the proposed Light Manufacturing/Mixed-Use designation is the same as it is for the existing Industrial/Automotive Commercial and Industrial designations. 2. The hydrology, geology and soils on the site have not changed. 3. The biological setting of the site has not changed. 4. The historic and cultural resource setting has not changed. 5. The proposed Light Manufacturing/Mixed-Use designation contains architectural and landscaping standards intended to produce attractive well designed developments. 6. The landscaping standards contained in the Light Manufacturing/Mixed-Use designation are intended, in part, to result in energy conservation. The mitigation program contained in the 1995 Certified Program EIR are incorporated herein and included to the Initial Environmental Study as Attachment No. 1. For traffic and circulation, additional analysis was necessary. The "worst" case development scenario for the proposed zoning in terms of potential environmental impacts would be full commercial retail buildout of the subject area. This could cause different traffic/circulation and air quality impacts compared to those assumed and analyzed for the Industrial/Automotive Commercial and Industrial designations in the previously certifed Program EIR. 13 The following text addresses the pertinent environmental topics by discussing the settings, signifcance criteria, potential impacts, recommended mitigation measures, the impact signifcance after mitigation, and mitigation monitoring. 1. BIOTIC RESOURCES A. Setting: The site includes aman-made drainage ditch and pond that have, over time, evolved into biotic resources with habitat value. The pond area has been mapped and is designated as wetlands. While the 1995 Program EIR identifed the existing oak trees in the area as a significant biological resource, these trees are not located on the subject property. B. Significance Criteria: A significant impact to biological resources would occur if implementation of the project would cause: • Substantial direct or indirect effect on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local/regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or any species protected under provisions of the Migratory Bird treaty Act (e.g., burrowing owls); • Substantial effect upon sensitive natural communities identifed in local/regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the agencies listed above; • Substantial effect (e.g., fill, removal, hydrologic interruption) upon Federally protected wetlands under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act; • Substantially interfere with movement of native resident or migratory wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites; • Conflict with any local policies/ordinances that protect biological resources (e.g., tree preservation policy or ordinance); C. Impacts: The program EIR identifed the potential loss of Oak trees on the subject property as a potentially significant adverse impact. It also identifed the potential loss on wetlands (filing of existing pond) as a potentially significant adverse impact. Regardless of the zoning on the site, these potentially signifcant adverse impacts remain with any future development. D. Mitigation Measures: The Program EIR recommended requiring a tree protection plan for projects involving filling, clearing, excavation, construction, or other site development work, and that all Oak trees over 12 inches in diameter be preserved. The measures also included a requirement that if any 12 inch or larger Oak trees had to be removed, that three fifteen gallon size replacement Oak tress be replanted as part of the development. To mitigate the potential loss of wetlands, the mitigations measures included a requirement that no filing of the pond/riparian area be allowed. 14 All Wildlife and Vegetation mitigation measures contained in the 1995 Program EIR are incorporated herein by reference and included in Attachment No. 1 (Resolution 96-23). E. Impact Significance After Mitigation: The mitigation measures are expected to eliminate or reduce impacts to Oak Trees and wetlands to levels of insignificance. F. Mitigation Monitoring: All mitigation measures will be monitored by the Ukiah Planning and Public Works Departments according to the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program included in this Initial Environmental Study. 2. GEOLOGY AND SOILS A. Setting: The project site is blanketed by terrace deposits consisting of relatively stiff, dense gravel, sand, silt, and clay. These terrace deposits are covered on the surface by recent alluvial deposits. B. Significance Criteria: A signifcant impact to geology and soils would occur if implementation of the project would expose people or structures to major geologic features that pose a substantial hazard to property and/or human life, or hazards such as earthquake damage (rupture, groundshaking, ground failure, or landslides), slope and/or foundation instability, erosion, soil instability, or other problems of a geologic nature that cannot be mitigated through the use of standard engineering design and seismic safety design techniques. C. Impacts: The Certified Program EIR indicated that the Airport Business Park had no significant geologic constraints to development. However, to ensure that future building do not collapse or fail, it recommended requiring future development projects to submit Soils and Geologic reports when applying for building permits. Additionally, future developers will be required to obtain a General Construction Activity Permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board if not exempted by that agency. F. Mitigation Measures: All Geology mitigation measures contained in the 1995 Program EIR are incorporated herein by reference and included in Attachment No. 1 (Resolution 96-23). G. Impact Significance After Mitigation: The mitigation measures are expected to eliminate or reduce impacts to Oak Trees and wetlands to levels of insignifcance. F. Mitigation Monitoring: All mitigation measures will be monitored by the Ukiah Planning and Public Works Departments according to the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program included in this Initial Environmental Study. 3. HYDROLOGY A. Setting: The project site drains to the south and east under Highway 101 and makes its way to the Russian River. The existing pond is fed from a spring on or near the airport to the west, as well as from drainage running south along the east side of Airport Road. 15 B. Significance Criteria: Signifcant impacts associated with hydrology and water quality would result from a project if water quality standards or waste discharge requirements were violated; groundwater and surface water quality and quantity were substantially altered; drainage patterns were substantially altered that would increase erosion/siltation and increase surface runoff; increase runoff that would exceed capacity of existing or planned drainage systems or add a substantial source of pollution; located on a 100-year floodplain; or expose people to hydrological hazards such as flooding or inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow. C. Impacts: The program EIR identified a number of impacts related to hydrology including impacts on culverts, minor flooding, sediment transport, groundwater recharge, and water quality. H. Mitigation Measures: All hydrology mitigation measures contained in the 1995 Program EIR are incorporated herein by reference and included in Attachment No. 1 I. Impact Significance After Mitigation: The mitigation measures are expected to eliminate or reduce hydrology impacts to levels of insignificance. F. Mitigation Monitoring: All mitigation measures will be monitored by the Ukiah Planning and Public Works Departments according to the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program included in this Initial Environmental Study. 4. TRAFFIC/CIRCULATION A. Bettina: The Airport Business Park has been building-out over the past fifteen years, and traffic volumes in the area have increased accordingly. The Park is developed with retail uses, general commercial, professional offces, lodging facilities, industrial uses, and restaurants. Traffic at times is congested, particularly on the weekends during peak hours. B. Significance Criteria: According to the Ukiah General Plan Circulation Element, the minimum acceptable level of service (LOS) on City commercial. residential streets/intersections is LOS "D." Other criteria include whether the project would have substantial effects upon air traffc patterns; whether the project would increase traffic hazards due to design features; whether the project has inadequate emergency access; whether the project has inadequate parking capacity; and whether the project would create conflicts with adopted policies, programs and plans for alternative transportation. C. Impacts: The program EIR identifed a number of potentially significant traffic related impacts and recommended a detailed mitigation program. The City subsequently adopted aCapita/ Improvement Program to implement the mitigation measures that required future development to contribute funds towards the overall cost. The newly produced Omni-Means Traffc Study concluded that the project would cause the Airport Park Boulevard/Commerce Drive intersection to erode to a Level of Service "E", which is unacceptable for commercial intersections according to the General Plan. The Study recommended a traffic signal and crosswalks as a reasonable mitigation measure. 16 D. Mitigation Measures: All future development projects on the subject properties shall contribute their fair share of the cost for the traffc related mitigation measures as stipulated in the City's Capita/ Improvement Program for the Airport Business Park. Additionally, a traffic signal shall be required at the intersection of Airport Park Boulevard and Commerce Drive as future development occurs. In addition, some re- striping on Talmage Road is required and will be accomplished as part of the current Talmage Road improvement project planned for the Summer of 2008. E. Impact Significance After Mitigation: The mitigation measures are expected to eliminate or reduce traffc related impacts to acceptable levels. F. Mitigation Monitoring: The Traffic and Circulation mitigation measure will be monitored by the Ukiah Planning and Public Works Departments according to the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program included in this Initial Environmental Study. 6. AIR QUALITY A. Setting: The City of Ukiah is situated in the flat and narrow Ukiah Valley. The presence of the mountains on both the west and east sides of the valley create the terrain that tends to restrict the horizontal east-west movement of pollutants. The dominant wind direction in the Ukiah Valley is from the northwest to the southeast. Wind speeds in the central portion of the community are moderate, with wind speeds of 4 mph or less occurring over 60 percent of the time. While the potential for air pollution is high in the Ukiah Valley, the actual pollutant levels are relatively low due to the lack of upwind sources and the relatively low level of development in the local air basin. B. Significance Criteria: Air Quality Impacts would be significance if the project results in any of the following: • Conflicts with or obstructs implementation of any applicable Air Quality Plan; • Violates any Federal, State or local air quality standard; • Exposes sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations; or • Creates objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. C. Imaacts: The program EIR identified both short-term and regional air quality affects resulting from future development in the Airport Business Park. D. Mitigation Measures: All Air Quality mitigation measures contained in the 1995 Program EIR are incorporated herein by reference and included in Attachment No. 1 Additionally, the Mendocino Air Quality Management District requires all grading operations exceeding one acre in size to secure a permit from its office. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit for future development projects, the project proponents shall secure all required permits from the Mendocino County Air Quality Management District. E. Impact Significance After Mitigation: The mitigation measures are expected to eliminate or reduce impacts to air quality to levels of insignificance. 17 F. Mitigation Monitoring: All mitigation measures will be monitored by the Ukiah Planning and Public Works Departments according to the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program included in this Initial Environmental Study. ]. VISUAL QUALITY A. Setting: The project site lies adjacent to Highway 101 and the Ukiah Regional Airport. The Airport Business Park is reaching 50% buildout with a combination of retail, general commercial, lodging, visitor serving commercial, industrial, and restaurants. The site can be seen from Highway 101, South State Street, and the eastern end of Norgard Lane. B. Significance Criteria: Visual Quality impacts would be signifcant if the project resulted in the obstruction of any scenic view or vista open to the public, damage to significant scenic resources within a designated State scenic highway, creation of an aesthetically offensive site open to the public, substantial degradation to the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings, or generates new sources of light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area, including that which would directly illuminate or reflect upon adjacent property or could be directly seen by motorists or persons residing, working or otherwise situated within sight of the project. C. Impacts: The program EIR identified a number of potentially significant visual quality impacts resulting from the future development of the Airport Business Park. D. Mitigation Measures: All Visual Quality mitigation measures contained in the 1995 Program EIR are incorporated herein by reference and included in Attachment No. 1 E. Impact Significance After Mitigation: The mitigation measures are expected to eliminate or reduce impacts to Visual Quality to levels of insignificance. F. Mitigation Monitoring: All mitigation measures will be monitored by the Ukiah Planning and Public Works Departments according to the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program included in this Initial Environmental Study. 8. ENERGY USE A. Setting: Gas and electrical service is available to the subject property. Future develop will seek hook-up to these energy sources. B. Significance Criteria: According to the CEQA Guidelines a project would have a significant energy impact if it would: • Encourage activities which result in the use of large amounts of fuel or energy. • Use fuel or energy in a wasteful manner. 18 C. Impacts: The program EIR found that energy sources are available to serve the project site. However, it concluded that future development could consume large amounts of energy, particularly if not designed to be energy effcient and include capture passive solar design elements. D. Mitigation Measures: The recommended mitigation measures included compliance with Title 24 regulations and encouraging future development to attempt to reduce heating and cooling costs with building orientation and landscaping. E. Impact Significance After Mitigation: The mitigation measures are expected to eliminate or reduce impacts to Energy Resources to levels of insignificance. F. Mitigation Monitoring: All mitigation measures will be monitored by the Ukiah Planning and Public Works Departments according to the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program included in this Initial Environmental Study. 10. LAND USE A. Setting: The Airport Business Park have developed from an originally planned industrial park into a commercial center with retail, offces, restaurants, industrial, and visitor serving land uses. B. Significance Criteria: Signifcant land use impacts would occur if the project substantially conflicted with established uses, disrupted or divided an established community, or resulted in a substantial alteration to present or planned land uses. Proposed project consistency with the Ukiah General Plan and zoning and any other applicable environmental plans and policies is also evaluated in making a determination about potential land use impacts. C. Impacts: The 1995 General Plan designates the Airport Business Park as a "Master Plan Area." The Planned Development Zoning Ordinance for the Park implements this designation. The applicants are proposing to amend the Ordinance by rezoning a portion of the Park to potentially permit full retail commercial build-out where industrial and automotive commercial are currently permitted. No General Plan Amendment is necessary or required. Both the current and proposed zoning classifcation permit industrial or light manufacturing land uses, so that the opportunity for these uses would not change as a result of the project. The change that would be created by the project would be the potential for full retail commercial development to be permitted on the subject property where it currently is not. In terms of regional planning, the question is whether it makes sense to provide additional opportunity for retail commercial development in the City as an infll strategy when large urban style commercial development is proposed outside the City limits. Carefully infilling the City with commercial development in areas such as the Airport Business Park may make more sense than not providing the opportunity and essentially encouraging retail commercial sprawl in the unincorporated area of 19 the Ukiah Valley. Providing the opportunity must be balanced with environmental quality. The growing traffic congestion in the Airport Business Park is of concern, and it is clear from the recent Traffic Study that additional mitigation would be necessary to maintain the General Plan street and intersection level of service standard "D"' for the Commerce Drive/Airport Park Boulevard intersection if the subject property were to buildout with retail development. D. Mitigation Measures: The Traffic and Circulation mitigation measures will maintain the project's consistency with the Ukiah General Plan. E. Imoact Significance After Mitigation: Less than signifcant. F. Mitigation Monitoring: All mitigation measures will be monitored by the Ukiah Planning and Public Works Departments according to the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program included in this Initial Environmental Study. 20 RESOURCES USED TO PREPARE THIS INITIAL STUDY 1.

Omni-Means, June 2007 21 MITIGATION MONITORING Assembly Bill 3180 requires all public agencies to adopt a monitoring and reporting program whenever they adopt an EIR or "Mitigated Negative Declaration." The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for this Mitigated Negative Declaration requires the imposition of a number of important Mitigation Measures on future development projects. The primary approach to mitigation contained in this document requires that the mitigation measures contained in the previously certified AIP Subsequent EIR (Final - July, 1995 / State Clearinghouse Number 90030999) be imposed on all future development projects. City Staff have the responsibility to impose those mitigation measures on projects that are approved. Each future development project will contain a list of the required mitigation measures, who is responsible for ensuring implementation, and who is responsible for monitoring. The other primary mitigation measure contained in this document is for the City to require that a Traffic Signal be installed at the Commerce Drive -Airport Park Boulevard intersection. This can be accomplished by requiring a large development project to install the signal if at the time of the future development proposal, a nexus can be achieved between the impacts created by the proposal and the need to install the signal. The required lane re-striping on Talmage Road is being designed as part of the Talmage Road improvement project (CIP Program) and will be accomplished in the Summer of 2008. Alternatively, the City could modify the Airport Industrial Park Capital Improvement Program (Traffic Impact Fees) as necessary to include requiring a proportional share of the future cost of the traffic signal. City Staff have the responsibility to implement this mitigation measure subsequent to the adoption of the Ordinance amending the AIP Planned Development Ordinance. Planning and Public Works Staff have the responsibility to monitor the implementation of the mitigation measure. 23 ATTACHMENT NO. 1 Resolution 96-23 2z RESOLUTION N0. 96- 23 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH MAKING FINDINGS PURSUANT TO PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE SECTION 21081 AND CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT ("CEOA") GUIDELINES SECTION 15091 IN CONNECTION WITH THE ADOPTION OF THE AMENDED AIRPORT INDUSTRIAL PARK (AIP) PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE WHEREAS: 1. The Ciry of Ukiah, as Lead Agency, has prepared a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report ("EIR"), wnsisting of a Dratt Subsequent Environmental Impact Report, dated March, 1995 ("DEIR"), antl a Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report, daletl July, 1995 ("FEIR"), for the proposed Airport Intluslnal Park (AIP) Plannetl Development Ordnance Amentlments; and 2. The EIR has identified significant environmental impacts of the projects; antl 3. The City Council certified the EIR on August 16, 1995; and 4. The Ciry Council has chosen to etlopt an amentled Planned Development Ordinance IOr the Airport Intlustnal Park; antl 5. Public Resources Code Section 21081 and CEOA Guidelines Section 15091 Drovide that Ne City shall not approve or carry out a project for which an EIR has been completed which identifies one Or more significant environmental impacts, unless it makes specified findings; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Ciry Council of the Ciry of UWah finds as (OOWS: 1. The EIR was preparetl and matle avaitadle for public review antl comment in full compliance with the procedures set forth in CEOA and the CEOA Guidelines. 2. The EIR was consideretl by both the Planning Commission antl City Council al noticed public headngs on August 9, 1995 antl August 16, 1995, respectively, which were contlucletl in lull compliance wRh all legal requirements. 3. Tne Giry Council has consitlered all tlocumenls submitletl for consideration prior to or tludng the hearings it conducted antl all testimony presented tlurinq the heanngs as well as the EIR, the Staff Repod, daletl August 4, 1995, the recommendation of the Planning Commission, and the Staff Report, dated August 11, 1995. The Staff Reports are incorporated herein by reference. II has also intlepentlenlly reviewetl and consideretl This resolution. 4. The project is described in the EIR, including the DEIR on pages 7,8,9,10 antl 11 of the Redwood Business Park Component This description is incorporated herein Dy reference. 5. The EIR evaluatetl the impacts of the project, as well as its impact in combination with impacts hom past, present, and probable lu(me projects, including impacts from the eventual buildout and completion of the Airport Industha! Park Dotn as presently approvetl. Those impacts, both individual and cumulative. along with recommended mitigation measures and suggestetl conditions of approval, are summarized in Isis resolution. 6. Measures tlesignetl to avoitl or substantially lessen significant effects of future deveVopment projects within the Airporl Induslnal Park will be imposed on protects as builtlout occurs antl the significance Nresnolds itlentilied in the EIR are reached. In this way, full mitigation will be achievetl as tleveloDmert occurs and is phased over time within the AIP. 7. Geology. The EIR geotechnical consultants detertninetl Nat there were no significant geotechnical constraints on the site. Site soils may be subject to expansion and/or some settlement. It will be necessary to upgrade soils or construct proper fountlations to ensure the future builtlings are not tlamagetl by setllement. All necessary LII materials and activities must be properly engineered to ensure the Tong-term integrity of lulure improvements. Site grading and trenching will result in bared soils. The surlace soils antl poorly consolitlated terrace soils will be prone to erosion. This is a potentially significant impact since eroded soils can adversely aflecl water quality and ultimately the aquatic habitats of the Russan River. Geology Mitigations: The EIR recommends that all lulure individual projects be regwred to nave complete geotechnical investigations, and that lulure developers secure General Consimction Activity Pertni(s from the Regional Water Quality CoNrol Board. Geology Finding: Mitigation measures are reasonable, feasible, and effective. The Ciry lintls that implementation of IheSe mitigation measures will avoid or reduce to acceptable levels Ina geological impacts resulting from the builtloul of the Airport 4nduslrial Park. These measures will become contlitions of project approval and will be monitored by the Ciry Engineering antl Planning Department stall during the gratling and building penni(process as well as during the construction phases of all projects within the AIP. B. Hydrology end Drainage. euildout of the AIP will increase the amount of impervious surtaces on Ne site and, thus, increase the amount of runoff during the 70-year and 100-year storms. Increased flows Irom the site will have a minor impact on hooding east of the freeway, and could Slightly increase the extent and tluration of Ilootling on the orchard to the east. This orchartl impact, however, woultl not be causetl solely by the ste runoff; rather, it would typically occur only in conjunction with some ovemank Ilootling of the Russian Rver. Because builtlings must be conSWded so that their floors are at feast one loot above the 100-year hood elevation, it will be necessary to till lower Portions of the properly; Ina Retlwood Business Park alreatlyhas aCiry-approvetl tlrainage plan that includes tilling of areas below hood elevations. Filling has already occunetl in the northern portion of the site. AHer fill is placed on low-lying portions of Ina property, Ilootling will be rest ncled Io tlrainage ditches and infrastructure. Hydrology/Drainage Mitigations: Builtlout of the AIP untler the provisions of the revised Planned Development Ordinance will not result in significant tlrainage related impacts. However, mitigations measures are recommentletl to resolve the minor drainage issues discussed above. These measures inUUde. requiring al{ buildings to be elevatetl above the 700-year flocd elevation, requiring developers to prepare Sfortn Water Pollution Prevention Plans and obtain General Construction Activity Pertnils from the Regional Water Quality Control Board, and to share in the lu ntlinq antl construction of ditch stabilization measures on the tlilch east o1 the 36- inch culvert and on the ditch east of the twin 4-fool by 6-loot bbx culverts east of the Ireeway. Hydrology/Drainage Fintlings: Tne Ciry linds the mitigation measures reasonable, feasible, antl effective, except for sharing in the luntling and construction of ditch stabilization measures on the ditch east of the 36-inch culvert and on the ditch east of the twin a-toot Dy Efoct box culverts east of Me freeway. The Ciry linds that the recommended mitigation measures conceminq ditch stablfization measures On privately-ownetl agricultural property ea51 of the Ireeway and outside the Ciry Limits are not the responsibility of the apphcanis and are not feasible, since the applicant has no reasonable ability to enter u-on private land to put improvements in place. The Ciry lintls that implementation of the remaining mitigation measures as conditions of project approval will avoitl or reduce to acceptable levels the Hydrology/drainage impacts resulting Irom the buildout of the Airport Industrial Park. These measures will become conditions of approval for all future development projects, and will be monitoretl by the Ciry Engineering Department staff during me gmtling antl builtling permit process as well as during the constntction phases of the project. 9. Biotic Environment: Builtlout of the AIP under the provisions of the revised Planned Development Ordinance will eliminate open lieltls usetl for loraging by a number cl birds, mammals, and reptiles. It will also basically remove all existing vegetation from the site. Given the fact foal the property has been disked and used for agricultural purposes, antl roar considerable lilt activities have occurred, the EIR concludes that no significant impacts will occur to biotic environments, except for the passible removal of Valley Oak trees. In terms of wetlands on the RBP, the property owner has entered into an agreement with the Department of Fish and Game regartling the tlisposition of the wetland and small population of Bakels Meadowloam that existed on the sale. The Department of Fsh and Game has tletermined that this mitigation successfully oBesets the atlverse impacts on vegetation antl wildlile that were itlenlified in the Wal-Man EIR. To buildout the property containetl within the Airport Business Park (ABP) south of the RBP, it may be necessary to fill wetlands. To avoid significant loss of wetands, and potential impacts to biotic habitats, the EIR suggests a number of mitigation measures. Biotic Mitigations: Suggested mitigation measures include preserving Oak trees, and preclutlinq the filling cl the pontl/ripanan area on the Airport Business Park site. Adtlnionally, pemmit approval Irom applicable State andior Federal agencies would be requiretl poor to hllmg and wetland areas on the ABP Sile. Biotic Environment Fintlings: The Ciry finds that all mitigations measures are reasonable antl IeasiDle. The City tintls lusher that implementation of the mitigation measures as con tlilions of project approval will avoid or retluce to acceptable levels the Biotic Environment impacts resulting from the buildout of the Airport Industrial Park. These measures will become contlitions of approval for all future development projecLS, and will be monitoretl by Gry Engineering antl Planning Department stall during the grading and builtling permit process as well as during the construction phases of the projects. 10. Air Oual{ry: The impact of a proposed action is judged to be signilicant based upon criteria for significance. The legal criteria used for determining whether or not the intlirect emissions generated by automobiles alt racletl to the AlP at 6uiltlout are the Stale antl Federal Ambient Air Oualiry Standards. The air quality speciah5t who prepared an impact assessment for the EIR concluded that State antl Federal air rjualiry standards would not be exceetled a5 a result of 6uildoul of the AIP. Air duality Mitigations: Although no signilicant air quality impacts would result Irom buildout of the AIP, a number of mitigation measures are recommentled to avoid temporary dust and particulate impacts tlunng gratling, and to tlecrease vehicle emissions associatetl with the protect. These measures include the following. a. All exposed or tlisiurbetl soil shall be regularly watered to avoid the transportation of dust. b. Every attempt shall be matle to keep all construction areaz swept and clear of mutl antl debris. c. Bicycle parking lacililies shall be installed at the project site prior to final Inspection and the grant of occupancy. tl. The applicants shall participate in a Transpodation Management Association when it Is formed. Air Quality Findings: For the reason stated above, as well a5 the technical information contained in the EIR, the protect will not have a signilicant adverse effect on any State or Federal air qualify standard, and is, therefore, presumetl under CWA Guideline 15064(1) to have no significant adverse impact on air quality. However, the Ciry Council hods that futwe development projects will conlriDute to the cumulative formation of ozone antl shod-term paniculale matter In the Ukiah Valley. While the Ciry Council tintls further that this cumulative contribution o1 Doth ozone and paNCUlate matter is speculative and cannot feasibly be quantihetl with any degree of accuracy, measures should be taken to omit and reduce the amount of these air pollutants resulting from the projects. Therefore, the City Council tintls that the recommentletl mitigation measures designed to avoid or lessen tlust and paniculale matter, as well as vehicle emissions are reasonable and feasible. The Ciry tintls that measures will be effective in avoiding or retlucing impacts to an acceptable level when they become conditions of protect approval. They wJl be monitored Dy City Engineering antl Planning Department stat4 tlunng the gratling and building permit process as well as during the conswclion phases of all future projecLS. 11. Vieusl Ouelity: The Airport Industrial Park a siluatetl in a highly visible location atljacent to State Highway 101. The AIP is also highly visible from Talmage Road, the residences along the western hills of the City, and a law other locations in the southem poNOn of the Ciry. Buildout of the AIP will completely change the views of the site. 6cisting views of vacant fields, Oak trees, a pear orchard, and a vineyartl could be replaced by views of a collection of commercial, industrial and office buildings. streets, signs antl parking lots. Night-erne views will also be altered with new views of lights and lighted signs. However, retention of the pond and riparian area within the southem portion of the AIP, as well as landscaping along the Highway 101 frontage. will provide a visual Duller a{onq Highway 101, and will breakup the massing of future buildings. The EIR concludes that the potential impacts to existing views and the visual quality of the area are subjective, and That the Ciry must decitle if they are significant. Visual ~uelity Mitigations: Tne EIR recommends extending the pondrripanan complex on the Airport Business Park into the Retlwootl Business Park to create a natural landscape corridor that will soften the visual effects of building out the AIP. It also recommends requiring shielded, non-glare NDes of lighting, the creation of a landscape zone along the Ireeway, a design review/process for the AIP, restrictive sign stantlartls, the retention of Oak trees, and the retention of existing landscaping. Visual Quality Findings: Impacts to viewsheds and visual quality are highly subjective and diNiwlt to quantify, While no health risks are involved, significant atlverse ~mpacis to visual quality can erode the local quality of life. The Ciry Council finds roar the buildout of the Airport Industrial Park coultl have potentially significant aWerse impacts on the visual quality of the project Bile. The Ciry Council finds further that the suggested mitigation measures contained in the EIR are reasonable and feasible, and will adepuately soften potential visual impacts to an acceptable level, except for extending the ponrllriparian complex on the Airport Busi ness Park into the Retlwootl Business Park, because there is no guaranteed long-term source of water to fill and nourish the extendetl pond. The adoptetl mitigation measures will become conditions of approval for future tlevelopment projects, and will be monitoretl by Ciry Planning Stall tlunng the building pennil process as well as during the construction phases of the projects. 12. Noise: AIP buildout traffic will increase noise levels on existing streets north of the site by one tlecibel or less. This amount is consideretl imperceptible and is not a significant impact. Shon4erm conswction noise. while not consitlered signilicanL ceultl be disruptive to the resitlenUal area north of the AIP. The construction of the required Southern access road when the AIP reaches 50-percent buildout, will result in significant noise impacts to the NorgaN Lane/TOwnsend Lane neighborhood. Even after mitigation, the EIR conUUdes Inat the impacts will remain significant. Noise Mitigations: The EIR recommends mitigation measures limiting construction times and regmnng heavy construction equipment to be properly muffled and maintained Adtliiionally, it is recommendetl that the final route for the southem extension avOitl altogether or as much of the Norgard Lanelfownsentl Lane residential neighborhootl as possible. To further reduce impacts to This neighbomooQ it is recommendetl that the CiN initially predutle Imck hallic. or insulate existing residential um6 to mitigate noise impacts. However, even wish These mitigation measures, ii i5 concluded that noise impacts will emam significant. It is possible that the City may [hoose to purchase and annex the residential prope Hies in ihrf neighbomootl, antl provide opportunity for retlevelopment of the properties into airport relatetl intlustnal uses. II this were to occur poor to the AIP reaching 50 percent Dwldout, the impact would become moot, because no residental properties would remain. Noise Findings: The Ciry finds Nat all mibgauon measures are reasonable and feasible. The City lintl5 further ~~alimplementation of measures/contlitions to restrict consW COOn Hours, requiring equipment to be muHletl antl maintained, and the tlesign of a southern access route avoiding the residential neighborhoods along Townsentl Land antl Norgartl Lane will avoid or reduce noise impacts to an acceptable levels. The adopted mitigation meazures will become contlil~ons of approval for future development projects, and will fie monitored by City Engineering and Planning Department stall tlunng the building permit process as well as during the consWdion phases of the project. II lutwe impacts should arise that have not been fully mitigated by these measures, which is highly speculative at this lime, the Cily Council Nrther tintls that any such sigmlicanl aWerse noise, 12Hic and salery impacts are ovemdden for the following reasons: STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS Traffic resulting from the extension of Airport Roatl to Townsend Lane and Norgartl Lane will result in increased truck antl automobile volumes, and noise. II mitigation measures prove Ineffective or impractical, i1 a final route does not avoitl Townsend Land and Norgard Lane altogether, or if the Ciry does not annex, purchase and redevelop the area Irom residential to intlustnal uses in the future, the City would accept these impacts because of the long-term economic, social, and health and salery benefits to the Ciry. The City finds that the sigmlicanl noise and safety impacts resulting from the extensidn of Airport Road to Townsend tanelNOrgard lane are overridden by the following social and economic benefits Of the builtloul of the Airport Industrial Park: a. The tong-Term economic benefit to Hie City oS Ukiah and the ability of the City to increase the job base and obtain a higher level of retail sales and property taxes outweighs the concerns regarding noise antl neighborhood impacts. Builtloul of the AIP will result in 1,332,000 square feet of industrial, office antl commercial stmctwes that will provitle hundreds of moderate fe high paying jobs to Ukiah citizens, represenfing a major expansion of the Ukiah economy. UnemploymeN in Ukiah is higher than the State average. Additional employment and expansion of the Ukiah economy will result in improved living [ontliuons for Ukiah residents antl retluced government costs for welfare benefits, unemployment insurance, and social sernces b. The bu ildou[ of the AIP will substantially inuease the assessed value of the project sle, which will in lum increase the property lax revenue of the Ukiah Redevelopment Agency (RDA). This atlditional tax revenue to the RDA will assist m Tne implementation of the retlevelopmeni plan, including the development oI low and moderate income housing. c. Buildout of the AIP will generate substantial amounts a1 sales lax to the Clry. !n addition, Lhe Ciry will receive substantial funtls per year in atltlitional fees far water, sewer and electncal services provitled to the project and in business license fees. These adtliUOnal revenues will De available Io meet the needs of general City government at a time when the City an6apates significant cuts in State funtling. tl. The extension of Airport Road and construction of a southem road connection to South State Street will improve area-wide IraHic circulation, reduce emergency vehicle response times, antl provide an important atltlitional evacuation route from the AIP area. It will also reduce traNic related impacts to Otner areas o1 the community, pa rticulady those north of the site such as on Talmage Road and its key intersecLOns. 13. Police and Fire Service: Both the Ukiah Police Department and Ukiah Fire Department believe that they can etleclively serve IDe builtlout of the AIP. However, me EIR concludes that while revenue will be generated as a result of sales and property taxes collected on new development within the PaM That could help iuntl expanded service, the municipal revenues may not be enough to maintain current levels of service. Atlditionally, for emergency vehicle access and circulation, as well as site evacuation, the EIR recommentls construction of Ine southem access road when the AIP reaches fifty percent buildout. Police end Fire Service Mitigations: Recommended mitigation measures include compliance with standartl building and lire codes, construction of the southem access road at lifN percent buildout of the AIP, and consideration of a lire and emergency protection mitigation lee for all new tlevelopment. Police and Fire Service Findings: The Ciry finds that all mitigation measwes are reasonable antl feasible, except for establishing a lire and emergency protection mitigation lee for all new development The Ciry Council iintls further that such a fee program is not necessary because the anticipatetl sales antl property tax generated from new tlevelopment within the AIP will substantially assist in the long4erm funtling of new equipment antl personnel The City Council finds further That the remaining mitigation measures imposed as contlitions of project approvals, will avoid or reduce to acceptable levels impacts on CiN Police and Fire Services. The adopted mitigation measures will become conditions of approval for future tlevelopment projects, and will be monitored by City Planning and fire Depadment Staff dunng the building permit process as well as during the construction phases o1 the projects. 14. Sewage Treatment and Disposal: Buildout of the AIP is expected to generate approximately 70,000 gallons per tlay (gptl) of wastewater. This figure could increase it the Mendocino Brewing Company facility is expanded in the future. The Ukiah Valley Sanitation Dfslnct (UVSD) has mdicaled d has the capacity to serve buildout of the AIP. Atltlitionally, a major trunk collector line crosses the eaStem part of the AIP. This trunk tine has amble capacity to transport wastewater genemted on the Bile. While the builtlout of the AIP will not have a significant atlverse impact on the capacity or operations of the UVSD facilities, the prolecl's increment of the potentially significant cumulative impacts on the UVSD's collection, treatment antl disposal tacitities should be minim¢ed. Sewer Mitigations: To minimize potential cumulative impacts, the EIR recommends requiring all tuture tlevelopmenl Io install water gonSefVation devices, that all sewage collectors for ilia AIP be tle5igned according t0 atloptetl codes, and that all development pay aDDropriafe connection tees at the time apptica6on is made. Sewer Treatment and Disposal Findings: The City finds that all mnigation measures when imposed as conditions of approval are reasonable antl feasible, and will be effective in avoiding or reducing impacts to an acceptable level. The atloptetl mitigation measures will become conditions of approval for tuture development projects, and will De monitoretl by City Planning antl Utility Department staff during the building pe nnil process as well as during the construction phases of the project. 16. Water: Basetl on the average intlustnal and commercial water tlemantl, buildoul of the AIP will require approximately 158.000 gallons per tlay of water. This equates to a peak summer demand of approximately 253,000 gallons per day. The CiN has the capacity to meet tnis increased tlemantl which is the equivalent of about 6.8 percent of the current pumping capacity. According to the City Water and Sewer Operations Supenntentlenl, in a memo tlated July 12, t 995 in response to issues raised in the FEIR, the Giry has a secure water ngM well into the tuture, and has a very reliable water supply system. Water Mitigations: Wnile the builtlout of the AIP will not have significant impacts on the City's ability to provide water, a number of mitigation measures are recomm¢nded to minimize the amount of water used for the project These measures include the inslallalion of water conservation tlevices, and the use of drought tolerant lantlscaping species and low water tlemantl irtigation tlevices. Water Service Findings: The CiN Inds that all mitigation measures when imposed as conditions of approval are reasanable and feasible to avoid or retluce impacts to an acceptable level. The atloptetl mitigation measures will become conditions of approval for tuture development projects and will be monitored by City Planning and Utility Department staff during the building permit process as well as during the consvuction phases of the project. 16. Schools: Builtlou! of the AIP will generate new householtl5 antl, consequently, new students. The precise number of students depends on Ne types of businesses tnat will ultimately occupy the site. Using the stutlent generation factors maintained by the Ukiah Unilietl School District (UUSD), builtlout of the AIP could generate as many as 431 new households in the Distract and an atlditional 302 students- Based on a 10-year phased builtlout of the park, it is assumed that the student generation woultl total approximately 30 new students per year. While the cuttent atloptetl developer mitigabon lee of 5.26 per square fool of builtling may not sufficiently offset the impact of this many new slutlen(s on the capacity of the UUSD, the district has indicated that it only 'intends to collect this amount School Mitigations: No miligation5 required. School Findings: Basetl on the information conlainetl m the Final EIR. the Ciry finds Thal project wit! not have a significant adverse 1mpaG on the Ukiah Unilietl School District. 17. Land Use: Builtloul of the AIP will result in the loss or displacement of a small Dear orchard on Ina soulhem poRion Of the site, but this is not deemed significant since the City has committed this property to intlustrial type development antl has zoned it accordingly Additionally, the EIR condutles lhaf there will not be a [onllid with the Municipal AirpoR to the west of the site, and That the mitigation measwes contained in other impact categories will successNlly oft-set potential conflicts and impacts to land use. While development of the site woultl potentially conflict with goals and polities aimed at preserving agricultural land, the Gity has in IDe past determined Thal intlustrial use of the slle was more valuable than potential agricultural uses. The projects are consistent with the General Plan land use designation for the site, as amplified by the AIP PD Ordmartce, and this designation was apDlietl to be consistent with other Plan goals antl policies. The EIR indicates that the ezlension of AiryoR Road to Townsend Lane/Norgard Lane (southern access road) will substantially alter the neighborhood character along These streets. Statement of ovemdng cOnsideraGOns have been made regartling thane impacts in Section 13 (Noise) above. Land Use Mitigations: No mitigations repuired. Land Use Fintlings: Based on the analysis and inlonnation containetl in the EIR and this Resolution, the City Council finds that the Drojects will not have significant adverse impacts on lend use. 16. TraNic end Cireuletlon: Based upon reasonable traffic assumptions antl the proposed buiVdout projections and assumptions contained in Ne EIR, the registered professional traffic consultant determined th al the total trip generation for the Redwood Business Park (RBP) woultl be 22,490 two-way trips with 965 inbound and 1,220 oulbountl vehicle tops tluring the PM peak traffic Hour. Builtloul of the AirpoR Business Park (ABP) to the south woultl result in 1,530 iwo-way lops with 45 inbound and 160 outbountl vehicle trips tludng the PM peak traffic hour. Accortlingly, builtlout of the AIP will result in 24,020 daily two-way Trips with 1010 inbound and 1,380 outbound during the Evening Peak Traffic hour (4:30 - &30 PM). This amount of traffic will result in a tlegretlation of levels of service (LOS) at a number of nearby key intersections. Atltlilionally, there woultl be a number of roadway impacts and correspontling salary concerns. Based upon an assumetl distribution pattern, the following impacts to intersecpons would result from Builtloul of me AIP: t. Operation of the signalized South State SlreeVialmage Road intersection would deteriorate from LOS C!D to LOS D during the peak hour. 2, The signalizetl Talmage RoarUAiryort Park Boulevartl intersection would deteriorate Irom LOS A to an Unacceptable LOS E tludng the PM peak hour. 3. Both the Talmage Roatl unsignalized intersections with State Route 101 off-ramps would have Turning movements operating unacceptably aI LOS D q. The South State StreeVHastings Avenue-Washington Avenue signalzed iNersection operation would deteriorate from LOS B to an unacceptable LOS E. The Airport Park BoulevardrCommerce Drive unsignalized intersection woultl have stop sign controlled fuming and through movements Irom Commerce Drive operating unacceptably at LOS F. The FEIR. on pp. 94-108, IISLS a number of roatlway impacts and safety concerns, as well as cumulative traffic impacts. Additionally, the EIR intlicates that the extension of Airport Road to Townsend Lane'NOrgard Lane (southern access road) will result in Iraflic safey impacts along these slreeL. A Statement of ovenitling consitleraticns have been made regarding these impacts in Section 13 (Nose) above. TraNlc end Circulation Mitigations: Mitigation measures are recommended on p0. B8-i De in the FEIR to eliminate or reduce me impacts to levels of insignificance. Tnese mitigation measures would be implemented when threshold levels are met or exceetled. It is anticipated that necessary intesecion and roadway improvements will be accomplished as the AIP develops and traffic volumes meet the threshold limits. It should be noted mat it the anticipated traffic volumes are not generated as a result of the phased builtlouf of the AfP, certain mitigation measures would not be warranted. Additionally, the City Engineer lies disagreetl with mitigation measure No. 9 on page 100 0l the FEIR, and based upon his analysis, contained in the atlmini5lrative record, the City tldes not support th¢ conclusions leading to this mitigation measure: Mitigation No. 9 (in pan) on page 100 0l the FEIR: the construction of separate deceleration lanes on the approaches to all major driveways. Additionally, n should be noted That Table 5 contained on page 107 0l the FEIR lists the percent o1 PM peak hourtrattic at slutly intersections that is generated by the Redwood Business Park. This table will be used to determine percent responsibility requirements for the Redwootl Business Park, the City of Ukiah, and other propedy ownerstdevefopers within the Airport Intlustnal Park. TraNic and Circulation Findings: Basetl on the independent third-paM traNic study prepared by a regisleretl prolessional IraNic engineer, the Ciry Council finds that all recommended mitigation measures, except as intlicated above are reasonable and IeasiDle. The Gity finds further that as the Airport Industrial Park builds out, entl impact thresholds are met, the recommended mitigation measures will De implemented, and traffic antl circulation impacts will be avoided or reducetl to acceptable levels. The adopted mitigation measures will become contli6ons of project approval as the AIP builds out, and will be monitored by Ciry Engineering and Planning Department s1aN dudng the entitlement process as well as during the construction phases of future Drojecls within the AIP. The Ciry Council linds lunher Ihat intlividual Drojecls within the AirDOn Intlusinal Park Will contribute to the cumulative impacts to the levels of service of on and oN-site intersections and roads. The City Council shall establish off-site capital improvement fees for the Artport Industrial Park pursuant to Ukiah Ciry Cotle Section 9543 that will require all luture development in the Dark to conlrioute proportionately to the cost of implementing mitigation measures i1 impact thresholds requiring those mitigation measures are met. The Ciry Council linds 4hat this mitigation will reduce or avoid cumulative traffic impacts to acceptable levels. 19. Pro)ect Alternatives: After thoroughly considering project allemalives, in cluding the no~project alternative, and for Ne reasons stated in the staff report, tlated July 2B, 1995, The Ciry Council linds that none of the alternatives are feasible or will have fewer or less severe adverse environmental impacts than the Droposed project(s) site. Moreover, the City can more etteclively mitigate the potential adverse impacts at the proposed slle than any other locations.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH AMENDING THE AIRPORT INDUSTRIAL PARK PLANNED DEVELOPMENT The City Council of the City of Ukiah hereby ordains as follows: Section One The purpose of this amendment to the Airport Industrial Park (AIP) Planned Development Ordinance is to change the Land Use Designation on approximately 8 acres currently designated Industrial/Automotive Commercial to Light Manufacturing/Mixed Use, and to change the Land Use Designation on approximately 6.5 acres currently designated Industrial to Light Manufacturing/Mixed Use. Section Two The overall purpose of the Airport Industrial Park Planned Development is to provide for a coordinated development of compatible industrial, office, and commercial land uses. It details both allowed and permitted uses within each land use category, regulate nuisances, and provide development standards and design guidelines. The AIP Planned Development is consistent with the "Master Plan" land use designation for the property contained in the Ukiah General Plan. Section Three This ordinance also formally amends the Land Use Map that illustrates which land use designations are assigned to the various properties throughout the Airport Industrial Park. The The map shows the approximate 14.5 acres east of Airport Park Boulevard in the southern portion of the Park being redesignated from "Industrial/Automotive Commercial" and "Industrial" to "Light Manufacturing/Mixed-Use." The land use designations apply to the 138-acre Airport Industrial Park in the following manner: 1. Professional Office: Applies to the northwest portion of the site, bounded by Talmage Road on the north, Airport Park Boulevard on the east, and Commerce Drive on the south (approximately 12.6 acres). 2.

Roads and landscaping: Approximately 14.2 acres. 8. Total Acreage AIP: Approximately 138 acres. Section Four The Airport Industrial Park Planned Development was originally approved by City Council Resolution No. 81-59 on March 3, 1981, embodied in Use Permit No. 81-39. Itwas amended and further articulated in 1991 when the City Council adopted Resolution No. 91-4. In 1993, the City Council adopted a revised Ordinance (929) to allow "General Commercial" in addition to the approved "Highway Oriented Commercial" land uses in the area bounded by Talmage Road on the north, Highway 101 on the east, Commerce Drive on the south, and Airport Park Boulevard on the west. This Ordinance also Acreated- the Planned Development Ordinance out of what was previously a Use Permit. On May 1, 1996, the City Council adopted Ordinance 963, which amended the AIP Planned Development to make it a more organized and useable set of regulations. On June 19, 1997, the Planned Development was amended again by the adoption of Ordinance 964, which created an Industrial/Automotive Commercial Land Use Designation for the 16 acres directly south of the home improvement center/hardware store facility east of Airport Park Boulevard. On April 2, 1997, the Planned Development Ordinance was amended by the adoption of Ordinance 991, which permitted drive-thru restaurants on the lands designated as Highway Commercial. On November 3, 1999, the Ordinance was amended to designate the 32 acres south of Hastings Avenue and west of Airport Park Boulevard as Industrial Mixed-Use. On September 6, 2000, the Ordinance was revised to list hotels and sit-down restaurants as "allowed" uses in the Professional Office Land Use Designation. On January 7, 2004, the Ordinance was amended to change the "Industrial Mixed Use" designation to "Light Manufacturing Mixed Use," and to 3 establish new standards for commercial, professional office, light manufacturing, and low density residential land uses in the Light Manufacturing/Mixed-Use area that are separate from those contained in Section "G" of this Ordinance. Section Five Airport Industrial Park Planned Development, as amended herein, provides a mixture of industrial, commercial, low density residential, and office land uses within a Planned Development (PD), consistent with the City of Ukiah General Plan Master Plan land use designation. Section Six The Development Map (Generalized Land Use Map) for this Planned Development, as well as the design guidelines and development standards constitute the Concept Development Plan, as required by Article 14, Chapter 2 (Zoning) of the Ukiah Municipal Code. The Development Map (Generalized Land Use Map) attached as Exhibit "A", is approved. The Traffic Circulation Plan for this Planned Development is discussed in Section "I" on page 24, and the Circulation Map, attached as Exhibit "B", is approved. Section Seven Development standards not addressed in the Planned Development regulations shall be those specified in the City of Ukiah Zoning Code. Section Eipht Amendment to this ordinance requires City Council action. All Major Variance, Use and Site Development Permits for proposed developments within the Airport Industrial Park require City Planning Commission review and action. Minor permits are subject to the review and action by the City Zoning Administrator. Decisions on Major and Minor Variance, Site Development and Use Permits made by the City Planning Commission or Zoning Administrator areappealable to the City Council pursuant to section 9266 of the Ukiah Municipal Code. 4 Section Nine Some small commercial land uses maybe permitted on the Industrial designated land if they are primarily intended to provide commercial type services to employees within the Airport Industrial Park. Section Ten This version of the Airport Industrial Park (AIP) Planned Development supersedes all past versions, and shall govern and regulate the growth and development within the AIP.

LIGHT MANUFACTURING/MIXED-USE DESIGNATION 1. Purpose and Intent The purpose of the Light Manufacturing /Mixed-Use land use designation is to provide for a compatible mix of light manufacturing activities, commercial land uses, professional offices, and limited low-density residential uses. The intent is to provide an opportunity for a diversity of land uses to locate near each other that would typically be viewed as incompatible, but because of creative site planning and design, they can function in harmony without adversely impacting one another. For 10 example, the Ordinance permits "live-work" land uses where small dwelling units can be incorporated into low intensity light manufacturing or warehousing operations. There is also opportunity for low-density apartments to be situated above commercial shops and professional offices. The purpose of the Light Manufacturing /Mixed-Use designation is also to promote Smart Growth and New Urbanism planning techniques. The Ordinance contains design standards that will lead to the development of office, light manufacturing, commercial, and residential uses in a pedestrian oriented, aesthetically pleasing, mixed-use neighborhood. The Ordinance requires light manufacturing land uses, if proposed, to be situated along the railroad tracks on the rear of the parcels, and to develop other land uses along the front of the parcels on Airport Park Boulevard, except forthe parcels east of Airport Park Boulevard where light manufacturing land uses can occur anywhere on the parcels within required yard setbacks. The majority of parking facilities are required to be situated in-between the light manufacturing and commercial land uses in the middle of the parcels, rather than along the Airport Paris Boulevard frontage. The land uses along Airport Park Boulevard are held to a higher design and site planning standard than the light manufacturing land uses, because it is situated in the more visible location, and because light manufacturing land uses are highly desired and a lesser design standard provides an inherent incentive. It is possible to develop full light manufacturing, office, or commercial land uses on a parcel, provided they are laid out and designed to be compatible with surrounding 11 land uses. Professional office and commercial land uses, if proposed as stand along developments must adhere to a high site planning and design standard. The regulations are intended to create a compatible mix of land uses with ample landscaping and strategic open areas, pedestrian walkways, and attractive architecture in an inviting scale, with hidden parking and practical functionality. 2. General Requirements a. Light manufacturing and warehousing land uses should be located along the railroad tracks on the western portion of the current parcels or anywhere on the designated parcels east of Airport Park Boulevard within required yard setbacks. Light manufacturing and warehousing can be situated along Airport Park Boulevard if it conforms to the site planning and design standards for commercial development. b. The majority of parking spaces for mixed-use development shalt be located in-between the light manufacturing/warehousing land uses and the land uses along Airport Park Boulevard. Every attempt shall be made to create parking that cannot be seen from public streets. c. Shared access is strongly encouraged between land uses on the same and adjacent parcels to reduce encroachments onto Airport Park Boulevard. d. Street trees and a meandering sidewalk are required along Airport Park Boulevard. e. The architectural facades for buildings situated along and facing Airport Park Boulevard shall be consistent with Section 5(f) of this Subsection, and shall be designed to soften height, bulk, and mass. f. The orientation, height, and design of buildings, as well as the theme for property development shall be based on creating compatibility between land uses. g. There is opportunity for low density residential land uses such as apartment units above offices or commercial spaces, but densities are limited west of Airport Park 12 Boulevard because of airport constraints to a total of 60 people per acre on a given parcel. 3. Permitted Land Uses a. Notwithstanding Subsection "K",all light manufacturing, commercial, professional office, low density residential, and mixed-use projects require the securing of a Use Permit from the City Planning Commission. The Use Permit process shall include an analysis of site planning and architecture, pursuant to Section 9262 of the Ukiah Municipal Code. 4. Required Findings a. Prior to approving a Use Permit for a project situated on land in the Mixed-Use designation, the Planning Commission and/orthe City Council shall make the following findings: 1. The proposed land use is consistent with the goals and policies of the Ukiah General Plan, the provisions of the Airport Industrial Park Planned Development Ordinance, the Ukiah Municipal Code, and the Ukiah Airport Master Plan. 2. The proposed land use is compatible with surrounding land uses and will not be detrimental to the public's health, safety and general welfare. 3. There is sufficient variety, creativity, and articulation to the architecture and design of the structure(s) to avoid monotony and/or a box-like uninteresting external appearance. 4. For all land uses other than light manufacturing, there is uniqueness and an exemplary approach to the site planning, design, and architecture, consistent with the Site Planning and Design Standards contained herein, that results in a quality and sophisticated development. 13 5. The Findings shall not be vague. The findings shall be sufficiently detailed to apprise a reviewing court of the basis for the action by bridging the gap between the evidence and the decision-maker's conclusions, and shall be based upon evidence contained in the administrative record. 5. Site Planning and Design Standards -Commercial Development The following site planning and design standards are specifically adopted for the Light Manufacturing/Mixed-Use Land Use Designation. They shall apply to all commercial, professional office, low-density residential, and mixed-use development projects not involving light manufacturing/ warehousing unless it is situated along the Airport Park Boulevard street frontage. The Development Standards contained in Section "G" and the Design Standards in Section "I" of this Ordinance shall apply to the Light Manufacturing/Mixed Use designation unless superseded by the following specific standards: a. Yard Setbacks: 1. Front: 25 feet from the Airport Park Boulevard right-of-way. Architectural features, such as bay windows, porches and landing spaces, column treatments, and similar features may extend up to two-feet into the required front yard setback. 2. Side and Rear: The side and rear yard setbacks shall be determined in the discretionary review process. Factors that shall be considered include, but are not limited to Building Code requirements, traffic circulation, landscaping requirements, softening of the bulk and mass of structures, and compatibility with adjacent structures and land uses. 3. Relief: Relief from the front yard setback requirements may be granted through the approval of a variance, pursuant to Chapter 2, Article 20 of the 14 Ukiah Municipal Code. b. Maximum Building Height: 1. The maximum height of any building or structure shall be 40 feet, provided it complies with the side-slope criteria for the Ukiah Airport. 2. Mechanical penthouse and equipment may extend an additional 10 feet beyond the maximum height provided it is adequately screened from view. 3. Relief: Relief from the height standards may be granted through the discretionary review process if a finding is made that the proposed height is compatible with the scale and character of the development on adjacent and nearby parcels and would not have an adverse impact on the health and safety of the general public. c. Minimum Lot Area: 1. The minimum lot area for parcels in the mixed-use area shall be determined through the subdivision and/or discretionary review process. In no case shall lots be created that are less than 20,000 square feet in size. d. Maximum Lot Coverage: 1. Commercial and mixed land uses may cover up to 40 percent of a lot provided that the site planning, architecture, parking, and landscaping are consistent with the requirements of the AIP Planned Development Ordinance. 2. Relief: Relief from the lot coverage standard may be granted through the discretionary review process provided a finding is made that the proposed lot coverage is compatible with the scale and character of the development on adjacent and nearby parcels and would not have an adverse impact on the health and safety of the general public. 15 e. Building Orientation: 1. Buildings shalt be shaped and oriented to take advantage of passive solar energy and solar collection in the winter, and to control solar cooling loads in the summer. 2. Buildings shall be shaped and oriented to be compatible with surrounding land uses in terms of noise, visual privacy, and functionality. f. Architectural. Design: 1. Buildings shall incorporate projecting columns, exterior wainscoting, framed panels, and/or other features to provide relief to large open blank walls. 2. Architectural features such as arches, raised and decorative parapets, decorated and flared cornices, extended eaves and overhangs, balconies, entry insets, and a variety of roof angles and pitches are required to make buildings unique and interesting. 3. Windows shall be used to break up the mass and volume of buildings into smaller components. Buildings shall use different shaped and framed windows in a coordinated theme. Awnings and other attractive window treatments are strongly encouraged. 4. All four elevations of buildings shah incorporate the architectural design requirements listed above in a reasonable and feasible manner. 5. The use of strong or loud colors as the dominant building color shall not be permitted. The dominant colors used on buildings shall be subdued and earth tone in nature. Colors of buildings shall be compatible with adjoining buildings. 6. Storage areas, loading docks and ramps, transformers, storage tanks, refuse collection areas, mechanical equipment, and other appurtenant items of poor 16 visual quality shall be screened by the use of masonry walls, landscaping materials, or decorative fencing. All roof mounted electrical and mechanical equipment and/or ductwork shall be screened from view by an enclosure which is consistent with the building design.

Internal access includes an extension ofAirport Road from the west into the southern portion of the site; Airport Park Boulevard from Talmage Road on the north, extending south to intersect with the Airport Road extension; and Commerce Drive from west to east in the northern portion of the AIP. All streets within the AIP shall be public. Property owners of parcels with frontage along the railroad right-of-way are encouraged to plan for possible future use of the railroad. K. DISCRETIONARY REVIEW The discretionary permit review process for development projects within the Airport Industrial Park (AIP) is the same as for discretionary permits elsewhere in the City. As articulated in Section 9 of this ordinance, a Site Development Permit or Use Permit is required for development projects proposed in the AIP. 1. Site Develoament Permits and Use Permits a. As articulated in Section 9 above, development projects within the Airport Industrial Park are subject to the Site Development or Use Permit process, depending upon the proposed use and its location. A Site Development Permit shall not be required for any development proposal requiring a Use Permit. Within the Use Permit review process, all site development issues and concerns shall be appropriately analyzed. b. All Major Use Permits, Variances, and Site Development Permits for proposed developments within the Airport Industrial Park require City Planning Commission review and action. Minor Use Permits, Variances, and Site Development Permits shall be subject to Zoning Administrator review and action. c. Decisions on Site Development and Use Permits made by the City Planning Commission and Zoning Administrator are appealable to the City Council 35 pursuant to Section 9266 of the Ukiah Municipal Code. d. Major modifications to approved Site Development Permits and Use Permits, as determined by the Planning Director, shall require the filing of anew application, payment of fees, and a duly noticed public hearing before the Planning Commission. Minor modifications to approved Site Development Permits and Use Permits, as determined by the Planning Director shall require the filing of a new application, payment of processing fees and a duly noticed public hearing before the City Zoning Administrator. e. The Planning Commission's decision on major modifications to an approved Site Development Permit, Variance or Use Permit is appealable to the City Council. The Zoning Administrator's decision on minor modifications to an approved Site Development Permit, Variance or Use Permit is appealable directly to the City Council. 2. Building Modifications a. Exterior modifications to existing buildings shall be designed to complement and harmonize with the design of the existing structure and surrounding developments. b. A Site Development Permit shall be required for all substantial exterior modifications to existing structures, site design elements, and landscaping within the Airport Industrial Park. The application procedure shall be that prescribed in Article 20 the Ukiah Municipal Code. Section Twelve Whenever a use is not listed in this Planned Development Ordinance as a permitted or allowed use in any of the land use designations, the Planning Director shall determine whether the use is appropriate in the land use designation where the subject property is situated, and make a decision as to whether or not it is an allowed or permitted land use. In making this determination, the Planning Director shall find as follows: 1. That the use would not be incompatible with existing nearby land uses, or 36 the allowed and permitted land uses listed for the particular land use designation. 2. That the use would not be detrimental to the continuing development of the area in which the use would be located. 3. That the use would be in harmony and consistent with the purpose and intent of the Airport Industrial Park Planned Development Ordinance and Ukiah General Plan. 4. In the case of determining that a use not articulated as an allowed or permitted use could be established with the securing of a Use Permit, the Planning Director shall find that the proposed use, is similar in nature and intensity to the uses listed as allowed uses. All determinations of the Planning Director regarding whether a use can be allowed or permitted in any land use designation within the Airport Industrial Park shall be final unless a written appeal to the City Council, stating the reasons for the appeal, and the appeal fee, if any, established from time to time by City Council Resolution, is filed with the City Clerk within ten (10) days of the date the decision was made. Appeals maybe filed by an applicant or any interested party. The City Council shall conduct a duly noticed public hearing on the appeal in accordance to the applicable procedures as set forth in this chapter. At the close of the public hearing, the City Council may affirm, reverse, revise or modify the appealed decision of the Planning Director.

Motion carried. 9. PUBLIC HEARINGS 9B. Rezoning 06-46, as filed by Redwood Business Park to rezone 6 parcels from "Industrial/Automotive Commercial" to "Light Manufacturing/Mixed Use" (8 acres), and 3 parcels from "Industrial to "Light Manufacturing/Mixed" (6.5 acres). The property is located in the Southern portion of the Airport Industrial Park, east of Airport Park Boulevard (APN 180- 080-58,59, 64-67 and 180-110-8-10). Planning Director Stump stated the owner of nine parcels (13.5 acres) in the southeast portion of the AIP has applied to change the zoning from "Industrial/Automotive Commercial" and "Industrial" to "Light Manufacturing/Mixed Use." He provided a brief history of the AIP, noting that developments are governed by the AIP Planned Development Ordinance No. 1051 as addressed on page 2 of the staff report. The AIP PD Ordinance provides for specific site planning, landscaping, and building design standards for aesthetic purposes and has been amended several times over the years to accompany the various land use developments. Planning Director Stump advised in 1995, the City Council certified a program EIR for build-out of the AIP based on a series of development assumptions that included types of land uses, building intensities, and square footages. The document identified a number of significant impacts that would result from build-out whereby a comprehensive mitigation program to reduce or eliminate these impacts was implemented. The EIR mitigation program has consistently been imposed for all new developments. The issue of traffic has been a major concern in this area wherein the City made a number of improvements to Talmage Road and other streets in the area, as well as in the AIP. A traffic impact/capital improvement fee was adopted for future developments. Planning Director Stump stated the intent of the current zoning designations for six of the parcels was to encourage and attract automobile sales and related land uses while preserving the opportunity for industrial development for the remaining three parcels. The "auto row" opportunity and/or industrial land uses have not been proposed where the original vision of predominately industrial use has evolved to a wide variety of uses to include a mix of professional office, retail sales, restaurants and hotels. If the rezone is approved, it is anticipated that retail/commercial and restaurant land uses will likely be MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION June 13, 2007 Page 11 proposed, which have been the predominate types of developments that have occurred in the AIP. Abroad range of land uses would be allowed with the proposed mixed use zoning designation to allow for manufacturing, retail/commercial, professional office development opportunities and/or a mix of these. The issue of traffic has been a major concern as the AIP continues to builds out. A traffic Study was required to determine the existing level of traffic, the projected traffic resulting from the proposed rezone, and whether or not the existing traffic mitigation program was adequate to handle increased volumes of traffic in which the study determined the existing required and planned traffic improvements for the AIP are adequate to handle increased traffic except for the Commerce Drive and Airport Park Boulevard intersection. This intersection will need a traffic signal. Exhibit "A" shows a layout of the land use for the AIP. Commissioner Mulheren addressed the issue of increased traffic in the area as the AIP builds out, and noted the widening of the left-turn lane to two lanes into the AIP will help mitigate the traffic congestion. However, if a very large retail establishment were proposed for the AIP such as COSCO, alternative plans for traffic improvements would have to be studied because the Talmage/Airport Park Boulevard intersection as it currently operates would not be able to handle the increased traffic. Planning Director Stump concurred, and noted a primary concern at the Talmage/Airport Park Boulevard is to be able to accommodate the large trucks where traffic impact fees are being collected to make the necessary improvements. Commissioner Landis addressed the proposed mixed-use component in conjunction with allowing for residential buildings in an area near the Airport in terms of safety. Planning Director Stump noted a distinction between the land uses, particularly for mixed- use and the accompanying density constraints for compliance with the Airport Compatibility Zone regulations. Residential developments must be consistent with the Airport Compatibility Zone where the land is situated in terms of the density issue. High density residential developments on the west side of Airport Park Boulevard would not be allowed because of the close proximity to the Airport. However, the Airport Compatibility Zone on the east side of Airport Park Boulevard is different because this area is further from the Airport whereby density could be higher for residential development. It may that at some future point the AIP PD Ordinance may need to be amended to accompany more residential development, if such development is proposed. Commissioner Molgaard supports allowing senior housing in the area because there are many services within walkable distance. There was a discussion about the likelihood of affordable housing in the area where people would have the opportunity to live/work in the area. Chair Pruden commented the parcels at the southern end of the AIP are environmentally sensitive and the most beautiful with the natural riparian habitat allowing for nice living opportunities. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED: 7:30 p.m. MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION Page 12 June 13, 2007 Applicant Gary Akerstrom commented on the history and reasons for the separate assessor's parcel numbers in connection with the zoning designations of the parcels being considered for rezone as shown on Exhibit "A" of the staff report. The City owns redevelopment property at the southern end of the AIP and because of land constraints, close proximity to the Airport, and other related issues/regulation compliance issues, this property has never been developed. While the potential for residential development in this area exists, it may not be feasible due to the constraints/restrictions. It may be that RDA monies could be considered for certain development projects proposed in the AIP. He was not supportive of developing low income housing in the AIP because of problems relative to this issue wherein the safety of children is a primary concern. Industrial development in the AIP has not been feasible in the AIP due to land constraints, traffic impact problems, cost factors, compliance with the AIP PD Ordinance regulations, and other relative restrictions where competition with industrial development in the County cannot compare. Therefore, a rezone makes good sense as it would provide the opportunity to promote developments providing for a compatible mix of light manufacturing activities, commercial land uses, professional offices, and limited low density residential uses that would highly complement the existing uses, meet the needs/services of the community, 'pencil out' economically, as well as provide the opportunity to do some architecturally pleasing developments that preserve/enhance the natural beauty of the land. The "auto row" opportunity has been in place with the current zoning designation for some time where only one dealership has been proposed and approved and no industrial land uses have been proposed for the perspective zoning designations in the last 15 years. The growth pressure/patterns in the Ukiah Valley have changed where there are currently large scale urban-type development projects proposed and being considered outside of the City limits. It may be that intensive retail commercial development belongs in the City and efforts should be made to consider infill developments and/or apply the mixed-use component where feasible. The proposed rezone provides the opportunity for this to occur. Lisa Mammina expressed concern about traffic on Commerce Drive and supports that traffic studies have been conducted in this regard. She expressed interest in constructing a freeway on-ramp to the south on property currently owned by the RDA. She addressed the community's need for affordable and senior housing, and commented if the Form Based Zone project had been in place when the Walgreens project was being considered, there may very well be a different scenario wherein the project would incorporate amixed-use residential component thus creating alive/work environment. She recommended the Commission have a discussion about density in the AIP and how the existing requirement can restrict certain types of developments. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED: 7:54 p.m. Chair Pruden commented the rezone would allow the Planning Commission the opportunity to plan well for what developments would be most appropriate and to make sure new projects and land uses are developed to their best and highest potential incorporating appropriate design standards rather than the 'piece meal' fashion that has typically been the case in the AIP. The Commission concurred that the rezone would provide the opportunity to plan for some very nice projects. MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION June 13, 2007 Page 13 The Commission expressed concern about the existing infrastructure in the AIP, particularly the lack of sidewalks on Airport Park Boulevard, recognizing the need for developments to be more pedestrian friendly, especially if residential uses are allowed. Planning Director Stump in response to discussions regarding the application of mixed- use, Smart Growth, Green program concepts in the AIP, he noted the purpose and intent section on page 10 of the Amended AIP PD Ordinance addresses the concepts of Smart Growth and New Urbanism and states, "the purpose of the Light Manufacturing/Mixed-Use designation is also to promote Smart Growth and New Urbanism planning techniques. The Ordinance contains design standards that will lead to the development of office, light manufacturing, commercial, and residential uses a pedestrian or oriented, aesthetically pleasing mixed-use neighborhood." This section further states "the Ordinance permits "live- work" land uses where small dwelling units can be incorporated into low intensity light manufacturing or warehousing operations." This is the type of zoning opportunities that could be proposed for the properties proposed for rezoning. There was Commission discussion regarding the likelihood of affordable housing and/or low- income housing opportunities in the AIP. The density requirement regulating development would likely impede on these types of development, since higher density units would probably be the types of developments proposed because they would be the most economically feasible. The Commission agreed it may be necessary to look at further amending the AIP PD Ordinance to address allowing for a residential component in the AIP. Chair Pruden commented while the Ordinance allows for housing, the element of housing would have to go through a different mechanism in order to attract a developer interested in doing a housing project because it must 'pencil out' economically.

SUMMARY: During the winter storm event of 2005/2006 the easement that provides access to the City of Ukiah's fish hatchery parcel was significantly damaged. This damage was caused by a culvert that filled with storm debris and was overtopped with storm water that eroded the out slope of the road. Staff from both FEMA and the City inspected this site and FEMA has guaranteed funding for the repair of the site. As City Staff further analyzed this site it was determined that significant soil stabilization will be required. Continued on page 2 RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1.

Staff took special care to discuss this issue with FEMA staff to understand the process and that these design expenses will be funded by FEMA. Special geotechnical engineering skills are necessary for this design. Two firms who possessed these skills were requested to propose on this project. They are Rau and Associates and SHN. Staff escorted both engineering firms to the site and discussed the project. Rau and Associates opted to not propose on the project. SHN has proposed on the project and their proposal is attached (Attachment 1). Staff has discussed the project timeline with SHN and they are committed to putting resources necessary to keep this project on its aggressive timeline. This timeline is such that the construction is scheduled to be completed by October 18, 2007. PROJECT INFORMATION The project site is located near the end of the active road. The road is rarely used and staff considered not repairing this slide based on the fact that there is little use. However, the property owner and staff have concerns that if this slide is left as it is that it may impact Gibson Creek with sediment load. It is for this reason that staff is recommending the design and ultimately the reconstruction of this road.

Dir. Public works/City Engineer Citv of Ukiah 300 Seminary Avenue Ukiah, CA 9482 SUBJECT: ENGINEERING SERVICES -FISH HATCHERY ROAD REPAIR PROJECT Dear Mr. Eriksen, SHN is pleased to provide this proposal to perform geotechnical review, surveying and design engineering tasks related to work required for the FEh7A authorized slide damage to the existing access road from West Standley Street to the site of the former Fish Hatchery. As you realize, this work is in an environmentally sensitive area, adjacent to Gibson Creek, and contnmed sliding, if left unabated, could further threaten the creek. Our proposed scope of services to be provided is to prepare contract documents fw• the purpose of competitive bidding to return fl1e condition of the road such that it will provide seasonal access limited to light pickup loading. Work will include site reconnaissance, soils investigation and geotechnical design recommendation memorandum, localized topographic survey, setting temporary controls, and TIN preparation, preparation of design/construction drawings and specifications, incidental support of bid process, preparation of an Engineer's Opinion of Probable Construction Costs, periodic geotechnical observations of cut and fill, compaction testing during placement of fill, identification of storm water pollution and erosion control measures, and incidentals related to the work. Our proposal does not include obtaining approvals of agencies other than the City of Ukiah, or mitigations for other earthwork repairs outside the area of this identified FEMA authorized repair area. It also does not offer the extensive geotechnical investigation necessary if a higher level of service is desired for the road. SHN proposes to provide these services for aNot-to-Exceed amount of $21,500 as detailed in Exhibit 1 attached to this letter, and Exhibit 2, SHN's current fee schedule. Final compensation for the work will be the total accrued cost for the hours expended at the hourly rates stated in Civil • Environmental • Geotechnical • Surveying Construction Monitoring • Materials Testing Economic Development • Planning & Permitting tax tram ~ rtl( 4S7 1i3tl4 n1-11-Of 1!•OL ry blr.
