b) Generation of excessive ground borne

c) For a project located within the vicinity of a
private airstrip or an airport land use plan or,
where such a plan has not been adopted, within
two miles of a public airport or public use airport,
would the project expose people residing or
working in the project area to excessive noise
levels
Significance Criteria: The Project would have a significant impact if it temporarily or permanently exceeded local noise standards in the vicinity of the Project, generated excessive ground borne noise or vibration; or would expose people residing or working in the area to excessive noise levels from public airports or private airstrips.
Environmental Setting: The Ukiah City Code does not contain thresholds for analyzing noise impacts from construction-related noise, but guidance documents from the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Highway Administration provide information on maximum noise and vibration levels associated with construction equipment and thresholds of significance for analyzing such impacts.
Although the Ukiah City Code does not contain thresholds of significance for analyzing constructionrelated noise, UCC §6054, Construction of Buildings and Projects, states that it shall be unlawful for any person within a residential zone, or within a radius of five hundred feet (500’) therefrom, to operate equipment or perform any outside construction or repair work on buildings, buildings or projects or to operate any pile driver, power shovel, pneumatic hammer, derrick, power hoist or any other construction type device (between the hours of 7:00 p.m. of one day and 7:00 a.m. of the next day) in such a manner that a reasonable person of normal sensitiveness residing in the area is caused discomfort or annoyance unless beforehand a permit therefor has been duly obtained from the Director of Public works.
The UCC’s Noise Ordinance (Division 7, Chapter 1, Article 6) that establishes ambient base noise level standards that apply to specific zoning districts within the City of Ukiah. These are specific to operation (not construction). “Ambient noise” is the all-encompassing noise associated with a given environment, being usually a composite of sounds from many sources near and far. For the purpose of the Noise Ordinance, ambient noise level is the level obtained when the noise level is averaged over a period of fifteen (15) minutes without inclusion of noise from isolated identifiable sources, at the location and time of day near that at which a comparison is to be made. Land uses exceeding these standards for long periods of time are considered to be significant.
Discussion: (a) Less than significant impact. Construction activities such as the proposed demolition could result in periodic increases in the ambient noise environment and generally occur when construction activities occur in areas immediately adjoining noise-sensitive land uses, during noise-sensitive times of the day (typically early morning or nighttime), or when construction activity occurs at the same precise location over an extended period of time (e.g., pile driving in one location for 8-10 hours in a day, or over a duration of several successive days). Certain land uses are particularly sensitive to noise, including schools, hospitals, rest homes, long-term medical and mental care facilities. Residential areas are also considered noise sensitive, particularly during the nighttime hours.

The nearest “sensitive receptor” (includes schools, libraries, child care facilities, health care facilities, senior facilities, and residences) is the Mendocino County Library (Ukiah Branch), located at 105 North Main Street, approximately 68 ft (0.1 mi) north of the site. Additional sensitive receptors in the area include the following: residences including the Circle Trailer Park, located at 317 North Main Street, approximately 676 ft (0.13 mi) north of the site; a single-family residence located at 412 South Main Street, approximately 763 ft (0.14 mi) south of the site; and Adventist Health Ukiah Valley Hospital, located at 275 Hospital Drive, approximately 1,087 ft (0.21 mi) northeast of site. The nearest school is South Valley High School, located at 429 South Dora Street, approximately 1,880 ft (0.36 mi) southwest of the Project site.3
Equipment for demolition would include a mechanical ram, dump truck, pickup truck, excavator, backhoe, front end loader, bobcat & stinger for concrete demolition. According to the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Default Noise Emission Reference Levels and Usage Factors (2017), maximum noise levels (at a 50-foot distance) for equipment that would be used for the Project are listed below in Table 1.
Table 1, Typical Construction Equipment Noise Levels

Backhoe 78
Mechanical Ram 90

The main source of existing noise at the Project site is from vehicles driving by, as the Project is located at a fairly busy intersection (Perkins Street and Main Street within downtown Ukiah. For reference, normal conversation is approximately 60 dBA, vehicles passing by are approximately 70- 80 dBA, and a gasoline-powered lawn mower is 90 dBA. There are no quantitative standards for construction noise levels specified by either the Ukiah General Plan or the UCC. However, UCC Section 6054 restricts construction activities within a residential zone, or within a radius of 500 feet therefrom, to the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Although the Project would not be located within a residential zone, it would adhere to these regulations intended to lessen noise impacts to sensitive receptors.
3 Instilling Goodness Elementary appears on Google Earth as being located near the Mendocino County Superior Court House, located at 100 North State Street. However, it was confirmed that the school is located in Talmage approximately
2.5 miles southeast, and there are no classes at this location. 4 Lmax is the maximum sound level measured during a single noise event (at 50 ft in this case). dBA is the measurement of noise in decibels on a weighted scale for judging loudness that corresponds to the hearing threshold specific to the human ear.

The Federal Transit Administration’s Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual (2018) identifies a daytime noise levels of over 90 dBA for extended periods of time as a noise level where adverse community reaction could occur at residential land uses within 500 ft of the noise. As shown in Table 1, the range of noise associated with equipment used for the Project would be 75 to 90 decibels (dBA) at 50 feet away from the noise source. Maximum noise levels generated by the Project would reach up to 90 dBA at times with the use of a mechanical ram and stinger (jack hammer) for concrete demolition. However, the nearest residence is approximately 676 ft away from the Project, which is beyond the distance identified as resulting in an adverse impact to adjacent residential uses.
While the library is approximately 68 ft away from the Project, existing noise levels in the Project area associated with passing vehicles is 70-80 dBA. The Project could result in an increase of up to 10 dBA with the use of the mechanical ram and stinger, but would likely be lower, as it is more than 50 ft away and library users would be located inside the building. Additionally, operation of each piece of equipment over the temporary three-week period would not be constant throughout the day, as equipment would be turned off when not in use. Lastly, Project construction will occur Monday through Friday, during daylight hours, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., in accordance with the City’s Noise Ordinance. As such, noise impacts associated with the Project would be less than significant.
(b) Less than significant impact. Project construction can generate varying degrees of ground borne vibration, depending on the construction procedure and the construction equipment used. Operation of construction equipment generates vibrations that spread through the ground and diminish in amplitude with distance from the source. The results from vibration can range from no perceptible effects at the lowest vibration levels, to low rumbling sounds and perceptible vibration at moderate levels, to slight damage at the highest levels. Similar to the discussion in the noise analysis in criteria (a) above, the City does not contain specific standards or thresholds related to groundborne vibration.
However, the Federal Transit Administration’s Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual identifies 0.2 inches per second peak particle velocity (in/sec PPV) as the level at which potential damage could result to non-engineered timber and masonry buildings.5 Additionally, Caltrans identifies 0.24 in/sec PPV as the level at which vibration is distinctly perceivable to humans. Based on ground-borne vibration levels for standard types of construction equipment provided by the FTA, of the equipment proposed to be used for Project construction, the use of the stinger jack hammer would be expected to generate the highest vibration levels (typically 0.035 in/sec PPV at a distance of 25 feet). Due to the Project’s proximity to the nearest sensitive receptor (library, approximately 68 ft away) and the fact that the operation of equipment would produce vibration levels below the aforementioned thresholds, the Project would not result in significant groundborne vibration, and impacts would be less than significant.
(c) Less than significant impact. The Project parcel is located approximately 1.1 miles north of the Ukiah Municipal Airport within Airport Compatibility Zone 4 (Outer Approach/Departure Zone) of the UKIALUCP, which has the potential to result in some overheard noise during approach and departure.
The UKIALUCP does not contain any policies related to demolition of existing buildings. According to Table 3A of the UKIALUCP, many uses such as a variety office, commercial and retail uses are listed as conditionally compatible, subject to density, height, and use development standards. However, no development is proposed at this time. All future development would have to comply with the

Significance Criteria: The proposed Project would result in significant impacts to the local population or housing stock if it directly or indirectly induced substantial unplanned population growth or displaced a substantial number of people or housing such that the construction of replacement housing would be required.
Environmental Setting: The City of Ukiah is approximately 4.72 square miles in size and located within Mendocino County. Overall, the City of Ukiah’s population has increased moderately over the past nearly 30 years, with a more accelerated increase in the last four years. Projections from the California State University Chico Center for Economic Development- Mendocino County Economic/Demographic Profile show this trend continuing. As described in the City’s Housing Element (2019) of the General Plan, the City’s annual growth rate between 1990 and 2018 averaged approximately 0.3%. Between 2000 and 2010, the City added 545 residents, or 3.7%, to its population.
According to the California Department of Finance, the population in the County of Mendocino was 59,985 in 2018 and 16,226 in the City of Ukiah. The 2020 Census data identifies the City of Ukiah population as 16,607.
Discussion: (a-b) No Impact. The Project would not involve the construction of new homes or businesses, or the extension of roads that would induce population growth, nor would the Project displace any people or housing, as no residences are located on-site. No impact.

Significance Criteria: The Project would result in a significant impact to public services if it resulted in a requirement for increased or expanded public service facilities or staffing, including fire or police protection, schools and parks.
Environmental Setting: Police protection services for the entire City limits is provided by the Ukiah Police Department, while the Mendocino County Sherriff’s Department provides police services for areas outside of the City limits. Fire protection services in the City are provided by the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority. Educational facilities in the City are provided by the Ukiah Unified School District (UUSD) and County Office of Education. Additionally, there are several private and charter schools serving residents within the City of Ukiah. As mentioned below in Section 16, Recreation, of this Initial Study, there are 13 City parks, a municipal golf course, and a skate park managed by the City of Ukiah, as well as other recreational facilities in the area.
Discussion: (a) Less than significant impact. The City of Ukiah Police Department and Ukiah Valley Fire Authority are responsible for emergency response at the Project site, including during demolition activities. Because the Project does not propose development, the Project will not have a substantial effect on their ability to serve the area, nor would it result in the need for additional resources. Similarly, the Project would not result in an increase in population that would impact schools or parks in the area. As such, the Project would not result in result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any public services.

Analyzing Traffic Impacts?
c) Substantially increase hazards due to a
geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or

(e.g., farm equipment)?
d) Result in inadequate emergency access?
Significance Criteria: Impacts to transportation and traffic would be significant if the Project conflicted with a local plan, ordinance or policy addressing transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities; conflicted with CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15064.3(b), which contains criteria for analyzing transportation impacts; substantially increased hazards due to geometric design features; or resulted in inadequate emergency access.
Traditionally, transportation impacts had been evaluated by using Level of Service (LOS) analysis to measure the level of congestion on local roadways. However, on September 27, 2013, Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill (SB) 743 into law, initiating an update to the CEQA Guidelines to change how lead agencies evaluate transportation impacts under CEQA, with the goal to better measure the actual transportation-related environmental impacts of a given project. Starting July 1, 2020, lead agencies are required to analyze the transportation impacts of new projects using vehicle miles traveled (VMT), instead of LOS. VMT measures the amount of additional miles produced by the project. If the project increases car travel onto the roads excessively, the project may cause a significant transportation impact.
In 2018, the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) published a Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (2018) which is intended to provide advice and recommendations for evaluating VMT, which agencies and other entities may use at their discretion. As discussed further below, the Technical Advisory offers that screening thresholds may be used to identify when land use projects, such as small-scale residential projects, should be expected to cause a less-than-significant impact without conducting a detailed traffic study.
On behalf of the Mendocino Council of Governments (MCOG), Fehr & Peers, prepared a Senate Bill 743 Vehicle Miles Traveled Regional Baseline Study (Baseline Study; May, 2020) to provide an overview of SB 743, summarize VMT data available for Mendocino County, discuss alternatives for and recommend VMT measurement methods and thresholds for lead agencies in Mendocino County, and recommend transportation demand management (TDM) strategies for reducing VMT on projects in Mendocino County.
The following local plans have historically addressed transportation within the City of Ukiah: 2017
47 Demolition Permit for Two Buildings Over 50 Years Old 101 and 105 South Main Street
Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration
City of Ukiah
Ukiah Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, City of Ukiah Safe Routes to School Plan (2014), Mendocino County Rail Trail Plan (2012), Ukiah Downtown Streetscape Improvement Plan (2009), and the City of Ukiah General Plan (Circulation and Transportation Element amended in 2004).
MCOG’s Regional Transportation Plan (2017) and Section 5, Circulation and Transportation, of the Ukiah Valley Area Plan (2011) addresses transportation within the larger Ukiah Valley. The Baseline Study incorporated applicable goals and policies from each of these documents into the methodology and analysis when formulating its screening tools.
A lead agency has discretion to choose the most appropriate methodology to evaluate a project’s vehicle miles traveled. If existing models or methods are not available to estimate the vehicle miles traveled for the particular project being considered, a lead agency may analyze the project’s vehicle miles traveled qualitatively.
Environmental Setting: The City of Ukiah generally lies west of U.S. 101 between the U.S. 101/North State Street interchange, and the U.S. 101 / South State Street interchange. Three major interchanges along U.S. 101, Talmage Road, Gobbi Street, and Perkins Street (from south to north), provide access to southern and central Ukiah. The City of Ukiah is developed in a typical grid pattern with streets generally oriented north to south and east to west. Bicycle lanes are located throughout the City and public transit is provided by the Mendocino Transit Authority (MTA).
The Project site is currently accessed via both Perkins Street and Main Street, both City-maintained two-lane roads that are developed with sidewalks but no bike lanes in the Project area. The nearest MTA bus stop is located in front of the library, approximately 130 ft north of the Project site at the intersection of North Main and East Stanley Street.
Discussion: (a-d) Less than significant impact. No change to the City’s circulation system, transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities would be required or is proposed to occur with implementation of the Project. Access, including emergency access, is currently provided through existing driveways and City streets. The Project does not propose any modifications to access or other transit-related facilities on-site or in the immediate vicinity. As such, impacts to this criterion (c and d) would be less than significant.
Because the Project does not propose new development, this analysis focuses on temporary impacts to the circulation system that may occur during the construction (demolition) phase. The Project has been reviewed by Staff, as well as the Public Works Department to analyze the Project’s impacts to traffic and circulation. Staff relied upon the Office of Planning and Research’s (OPR) Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (Technical Advisory; 2018) and the Mendocino Council of Governments’ (MCOG) Senate Bill 743 Vehicle Miles Traveled Regional Baseline Study (Baseline Study; 2020) which are intended to provide recommendations and screening thresholds for evaluating traffic impacts by the way of Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). One useful tool within these documents for small scale commercial Projects, are the thresholds identified to determine when such projects should be expected to cause a less-than-significant impact without conducting a detailed traffic study. Specifically, as noted in OPR’s Technical Advisory, absent substantial evidence indicating that a project would generate a potentially significant level of VMT, or inconsistency with a general plan or other transportation related document, projects that generate or attract fewer than 110 trips per day generally may be assumed to cause a less-than- significant transportation impact. This is further supported in MCOG’s Baseline Study that identifies construction of up to 50,000 sf of commercial buildings in urban areas as less than significant. VMT analyses are most appropriate for analyzing operational impacts or large-scale construction projects that produce significant traffic trips and/or vehicle miles traveled. However, these screening thresholds have been conservatively used for analyzing impacts associated with the Project.

Demolition would include a temporary increase in traffic associated with ingress and egress of vehicles and equipment to and from the Project site via South Main and Perkins Streets. As noted in the Project Description, demolition would take approximately three weeks with a crew of six construction workers.
All work would be performed Monday through Friday, during daylight hours (between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and p.m., depending on the season). Construction equipment would be staged on-site and all activities will be performed within the site boundaries. It is anticipated that two to three dump truck trips a day would be necessary to transfer demolished materials for disposal and recycling.
Construction equipment and trucks would utilize existing driveways and access routes on Main and Perkins Streets and travel to the quarry, transfer Station and recycling center via U.S. Highway 101.
No road closures are required or anticipated for the Project.
The Project is anticipated to produce up to five dump truck trips per day, in addition to six vehicle trips for construction workers, for a total of 11 trips per day. Because the Project’s daily trips would be less than the 110 trips screening threshold identified by OPR, the Project does not involve new construction, and does not conflict with the City’s General Plan or other local plans intended to address circulation, the Project can be presumed to not result in a significant impact to traffic. As such, a subsequent detailed traffic study is not required and impacts would be less than significant.

Significance Criteria: An impact to tribal cultural resources would be significant if the Project were to substantially reduce the significance of a tribal cultural resource, a listed or eligible historic resource, or a resource considered significant by a California Native American tribe. Tribal cultural resources include “sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to

a California Native American Tribe” that are eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register) or included in a local register of historical resources. Lead agencies are required to “begin consultation with a California Native American tribe that is traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the Proposed Project.” The consultation process must be completed before a CEQA document can be certified.
Environmental Setting: As discussed in Section V.5, Cultural Resources, areas that are most typically culturally sensitive include those adjacent to streams, springs, and mid-slope benches above watercourses because Native Americans and settlers favored easy access to potable water.
Tribes known to be present within the Ukiah area include (but are not limited to) the following:
• Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians
• Guidiville Indian Rancheria of Pomo Indians
• Hopland Band of Pomo Indians
• Pinoleville Pomo Nation
• Potter Valley Rancheria
• Redwood Valley Little River Band of Pomo Indians
• Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians
• Yokayo Tribe, not federally recognized
Discussion: (a) Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. As described in Section V.5, Cultural Resources, because the Dragon’s Lair building qualifies as a local historic resource under CEQA that would be demolished, the Project would result in a significant impact to that resource if not properly mitigated. Under CEQA, feasible Mitigation associated with alteration or demolition of historic buildings is most commonly directly related to efforts for preserving the architecture and/or the building’s appearance. However, because the Project proposes to demolish the buildings and does not propose new development at this time, mitigation measures related to architectural preservation are not appropriate. Mitigation Measure CUL-1 would require photo documentation of the building to catalogue its existence and Mitigation Measure CUL-2 requires an educational plaque to be erected on-site to acknowledge its historic significance related to the 1917 fire. Because the Project proposes to demolish the building that is not historically significant for its architecture, and does not propose new development at this time, these mitigation measures are considered adequate for reducing impacts to less than significant levels. As such, impacts to historic resources would be less than significant with implementation of mitigation.
Discussion: (b) Less than significant. As described in Section V.5, Cultural Resources, of this Initial Study, the site is considered to have a “low potential” for cultural and archeological resources. In accordance with AB 52, a notification proving the opportunity for consultation was sent to the Guidiville Rancheria of California but no response requesting formal consultation was received. Regardless, construction of the Project will be required to adhere to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5 (e-f) which specifically addresses what to do in the event that human remains or archeological resources are accidentally discovered.

Environmental Setting: The majority of City properties are served by City water, sewer, electricity and trash collection as summarized below.
Electric. The City of Ukiah’s Electric Utility Department provides electric services to properties within the City limits, while Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) provides services to properties outside of the City.
Water. There are five major providers of community water services in the Ukiah Valley. The City of Ukiah serves customers within the City, while Rogina Water Company and Millview, Calpella, and Willow County Water Districts serve the unincorporated areas. The City of Ukiah 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) was adopted by City Council on June 2, 2021. The UWMP considers several growth scenarios including an additional 2,500 and 5,000 hookup scenarios and determined that there is capacity through the 2045 planning horizon to serve these growth projections.

Solid Waste. The Ukiah landfill, outside City limits on Vichy Springs Road, stopped receiving municipal solid waste in 2001 and the City is working on capping the landfill. Solid waste generated in the Ukiah Valley is exported for disposal to the Potrero Hills Landfill in Solano County. The Valley’s solid waste disposal system consists of a large volume transfer station, Ukiah Transfer Station, which receives waste for export.
Discussion: (a-c) No Impact. The Project does not propose new development or alteration of the following: water, wastewater treatment or storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities. The Project would not use water, with the exception of a water truck to mitigate dust, as needed. As such, there would be no impact to these utilities and services systems.
Discussion: (d & e) Less than significant impact. As noted in the Project Description, demolished concrete and rebar will be off hauled and recycled at a local rock quarry. Dump trucks would off-haul debris and deliver to the Ukiah Transfer Station & Recycling Center, where metal materials would be recycled and non-recyclable materials would be disposed of. All waste produced from Project activities would be disposed of at the Ukiah Transfer Station in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal regulations. Impacts related to solid waste would be less than significant.
Mitigation Measures: None

a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency
response planor emergency evacuation plan?
b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors,
exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose
project occupants to pollutant concentrations from
a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire?
c) Require the installation or maintenance of
associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel
breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or
other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that
may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the
environment?
d) Expose people or structures to significant risks,
including downslope or downstream flooding or
landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope
instability, or drainage changes?
Significance Criteria: Impacts to wildfire would be significant if the Project were located in or near a State Responsibility Area (SRA) or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones and substantially impaired an emergency response plan; exposed Project occupants to wildfire pollutants or uncontrolled spread of wildfire due to site conditions such as slope and prevailing winds; require the installation or maintenance of infrastructure that could exacerbate fire risk; or expose people or structures to significant risks as a result of post-fire runoff, slope instability or drainage changes.
Environmental Setting: All lands within the City of Ukiah are within the jurisdiction of the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority. None of the lands within the City of Ukiah are located within a California Department of Forestry (CalFire) State Responsibility Area (SRA). However, some parcels within the western boundary of the City limits are designated as “Very High” fire severity within the Local Responsibility Area (LRA). The Project site is not located in an area identified as having a High or Very High fire severity risk.
As discussed in Section 9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, the County’s EOP plan and MJHMP address emergency operations, natural disasters (including wildfire), as well as mitigation strategies to reduce potential risks. The City of Ukiah adopted its “jurisdictional annex” chapter of the MJHMP on November 18, 2020. Hazards identified for the City of Ukiah include earthquakes, wildfire, dam failure, flood and pandemic. Table 1-13 of the City’s jurisdictional annex lists each hazard and mitigation action for City of Ukiah.
Discussion: (a-b) Less than significant impact. The Project site is accessed via existing driveways and roads, and there are no components of the Project that would conflict with, or impair the adopted MJHMP, EOP, or other adopted emergency response plan or emergency evaluation plan. As described in Section 9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, the Project site is not located within a High or Very High fire severity zone. Because the Project site is developed with pavement, and the Project
53 Demolition Permit for Two Buildings Over 50 Years Old 101 and 105 South Main Street
Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration
City of Ukiah
does not propose new development within a High or Very High severity zone, it would not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires. The use of gasoline-powered equipment will be used in accordance with all existing Building Code and Fire Code regulations intended to reduce fire risk (such as the use of spark arresters, for example).
Discussion: (c-d) No impact. The Project would not require the installation or maintenance of infrastructure such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities that would exacerbate fire risk. In addition, the Project would not include earthwork in a sloped, undeveloped area or other components that could result in downslope or downstream flooding or landslides as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes. No impact would occur.
Mitigation Measures: None.
21. Mandatory Findings of Significance
MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. Significant
Impact
Less Than
Significant
with
Mitigation
Less Than
Significant
Impact
No Impact
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade
the quality of the environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, substantially reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or
animal or eliminate important examples of the
major periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Does the project have impacts that are
individually limited, but cumulatively considerable?
("Cumulatively considerable" means that the
incremental effects of a project are considerable
when viewed in connection with the effects of past
projects, the effects of other current projects, and
the effects of probable future projects)?
c) Does the project have environmental effects
which will cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Discussion: (a) Less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated. As described and analyzed throughout the Initial Study, impacts to Air Quality, Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources could be significant. However, with the implementation of mitigation measures, all impacts would be reduced to less than significant. Specifically, temporary activities associated with demolition over the three-week construction period could result in direct significant impacts to Air Quality, but would be reduced to less than significant with the implementation of Mitigation Measures AQ-1 through AQ-3, requiring adherence to Mendocino County Air Quality Management District regulations. The Tom’s Glass building is not located on a local, state, or federal historic register. Therefore, no impact to historic resources would occur as a result of its demolition. However, because the Dragon’s Lair building qualifies as a local historic resource under CEQA that would be demolished, the Project would
54 Demolition Permit for Two Buildings Over 50 Years Old 101 and 105 South Main Street
Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration
City of Ukiah
result in a significant impact to that resource if not properly mitigated. Mitigation Measure CUL-1 would require photo documentation of the building to catalogue its existence and Mitigation Measure CUL-2 requires an educational plaque to be erected on-site to acknowledge its historic significance related to the 1917 fire. Because the Project proposes to demolish the building that is not historically significant for its architecture, and does not propose new development at this time, these mitigation measures are considered adequate for reducing impacts to less than significant levels. As such, impacts to historic resources would be less than significant with implementation of mitigation.
The Project would result in either no impact, or less than significant impact to all other resources. See Section V, Evaluation of Environmental Impacts, for more information. (b) Less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated. Cumulative impacts are generally considered in analyses of Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Noise, and Traffic.
As discussed throughout the Initial Study, the Proposed Project would have less than significant impacts on these resources or less than significant impacts with implementation of mitigation measures described herein. Short-term construction impacts associated with the Project would not significantly contribute to cumulative impacts in the area as there are no known past projects nor current projects within the vicinity of the site. Based on the findings and conclusions contained in the Initial Study, cumulative impacts related to the Proposed Project would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
(c) Less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated. Based on the findings and conclusions contained in the Initial Study, the Proposed Project would not have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. Impacts would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated.

Historic Resource Evaluation – UPDATED Jan 2022
5 Project Overview & Executive Summary
Prospective buyers of the property at 101 South Main Street in Ukiah, California, are assessing the historic character of the building as part of the decision making process. They hired Alice P. Duffee, an architectural historian and preservation planner with APD Preservation LLC, to evaluate the historic character of the property and identify what features, if any, render the property historically significant. This report is the result of that evaluation.
The parcel was the site of early commercial development in Ukiah, dating to 1857 when Absalom Tidwell Perkins built a livery on this corner of the country crossroads. That original building was replaced by a second livery/hay barn in 1890. Ukiah’s June 1917 fire destroyed that second building, and a third structure was built on the site y bat least by 1921. From 1921 to 1963 the building served as a feed store under four different businesses. With the modernization of Ukiah, the building was converted to retail space in 1963.
Modifications made to that building at that time included infilling two open bays with windows, replacing the front doors, replacing and reconfiguring the awning, and installing an additional window. The false front that most defines the building was modified in 1938, but retains its basic early twentieth century appearance.
The building has remained in retail use almost continuously since 1963.
The building at 101 South Main Street dates from 1921, is included in Ukiah’s 1985 “Historic Resources Survey,” and is included in the State of California’s “Built Environmental Resource Database (BERD)” with a designation of “5S2,” meaning that a local government has recognized the resource as “eligible for local listing or designation.” Where the previous local survey form suggests that the building is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), I defer to the State of California’s more recent determination that the building is significant at the LOCAL level and not the national level.
Further evaluation and research of the property confirms that the information in the earlier reconnaissance level survey is correct and that the building appears to be significant for its association with the post-fire redevelopment of Ukiah (criterion 1). Its period of significance is 1921 (its inferred construction date), and the building retains enough physical integrity to convey its early twentieth century commercial origins, which render it historic. The building in its current dilapidated state, however, does not appear to be significant for its architectural merit.
Based on extensive research of the development of this parcel, it is my professional opinion that the building qualifies as an historic resource under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The character defining features of this historic building are as follows:
• False front with pronounced box cornice on west elevation • One-story
• Rectangular footprint with clipped corner at northwest corner • Entrance on the clipped northwest corner
• Gable roof
• Pressed tin siding on west and north elevations, corrugated metal siding on east and south • Irregular window placement

Site Location
The building at 101 South Main Street sits on the southeast corner of the intersection of Perkins Street and South Main Street on the east side of the City of Ukiah. Both Perkins and South Main streets have multiple lanes of two-way traffic; South Main Street has limited street parking on the west side. The area is medium density commercial structures from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries interspersed with sparse landscaping.

7 Figure 2: Aerial View of Project Area, Google Maps 2020 Description
The commercial building on the property is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Perkins Street and South Main Street, fronting on both streets. It is one-story with a roughly rectangular footprint, with the northwest corner clipped to accommodate the primary entrance. The gable-roofed, wood frame structure is clad in corrugated metal and capped with corrugated metal roofing. The west and north elevations are faced in pressed tin to simulate rusticated, coursed, ashlar stone (see photo 37).
The west elevation, fronting South Main street, is dominated by a false front that extends above the gable end of the roof and is capped with a pronounced box cornice. While the street-facing side of the false front is faced with pressed tin, the rear is faced with corrugated metal (see photos 38, 39 and 40). The element is purely decorative. The 1937 marketing video of Ukiah indicates that, originally, this feature wrapped around both street-facing facades of the building. A 1938 aerial, however, shows that the northern section, facing Perkins Street, had been removed (see figures 22 and 23 below).
A corrugated metal awning extends the length of the west elevation and wraps around the northwest corner to shelter the primary entrance. A scalloped detail obscures the edge of the awning and adds a modicum of visual interest (see photo 32). The awning appears to be a modern replacement for a previous awning that appears in the 1937 video.
This elevation has three windows. The northernmost window appears in the 1937 video and appears to be original to the building. It is a fixed wood sash, single-paned window topped by a 6-paned transom window.
The frame is simple board surround with a slightly projecting sill (see photo 33). The middle and southern windows appear to be later additions to the building, most likely when the building was converted from a feed store to a retail shop in 1963. The middle window replaced an open bay, and consists of a 2-paned, fixed sash set in an aluminum frame. A three-part, glass, jalousie transom extends across the width of the window. The surrounding frame is similar to the original window, except that the newer window has no

8 projecting sill. The southern-most window matches the middle window and appears to have been installed in 1963 to provide more light to the interior spaces (see photo 35).
The primary entrance is on the clipped northwest corner and consists of a pair of half-glass French doors with raised panels beneath arched glass panes (see photos 30 and 31). The door has a glass, jalousie transom and simple board frame. The doors are not original to the building, as evidenced by images from 1937 and 1948 (see figures 22 and 25 below).
The north elevation, fronting Perkins Street, has three original windows at irregular intervals and an infilled bay on the eastern corner. The original windows all have multi-lite, wood transoms. The western-most window is identical to the flanking window on the west elevation. To its east lies a set of three multi-paned windows framed as a single unit. Another single-paned, wood frame window is roughly centered on the elevation (see photos 46 and 48). The bay at the eastern corner has been infilled with corrugated metal and a small, single pane, wood framed window (see photo 47). The building’s concrete foundation is visible on this elevation.
The east elevation has no openings and is covered with a mural of ionic columns that was painted in July 1982 by Neil Phillip Anderson and Rita Lowitt, according to the signature at the bottom right of the artwork (see photos 44 and 45).
The rear of the building (the south elevation) has a variety of mechanical equipment and a single pedestrian door at the eastern corner. A simple wood porch with four wood steps accesses the paneled rear door (see photos 41, 42 and 43).
Historical Context of Ukiah
The project area lies within the early “Rancho Yokaya,” which was an 8-square-league (35,541-acre) tract of land granted by Mexican Governor Pio Pico to Cayetano Juárez in 1845 in payment for Juarez’s decade of service to the Mexican government. The grant extended sixteen miles along the Russian River, from the southern end of Ukiah Valley to the northern end of Redwood Valley and ranged from one to two miles wide. It encompassed all of present day Ukiah.
The area remained sparsely settled by either Mexican or European settlers through the first half of the nineteenth century, though the Pomo Indians maintained a strong presence in the area. Around 1856 Samuel Lowry built a log cabin near what is now the northeast corner of Perkins and Main Street, and became Ukiah Valley’s first white settler. Lowry was born in Connecticut around 1818 and had come to Placer County with the Gold Rush.1 2
In 1859 Mendocino County was officially carved out of Sonoma County, and Ukiah was selected as the county seat. The town was nestled between the coastal range of mountains and the Russian River, in the heart of the Ukiah Valley. The name Ukiah came from the Indian word “Yo’Kia,” meaning deep valley.

9 The town grew steadily, though it remained a
relatively remote outpost in the hinterlands of
Northern California for several more decades.
Through the 1860s-1880s, access was
restricted to overland routes, with San Francisco
being a two-day journey via stagecoach.4
The area around the intersection of the current
Perkins and Main streets was one of the earliest
settlement locations for the town. Lowry had built
his log cabin in this location, and then sold the
160-acre parcel to Absalom Tidwell Perkins in
1857.5 6
Perkins, his wife Elizabeth, and their five children
relocated to Ukiah from Yuba County, north of
Sacramento. 7 Within a year, Perkins built a
house for his family near the southwest corner of
the current Perkins and Main streets, took over
Lowry’s blacksmith shop on the northeast corner
of the intersection, built a store to the west on
Main Street and built a schoolhouse south of
Perkins Street and west of State Street.8 On the
southeast corner of Perkins and Main, on the
site of the current Project Area, Perkins built a
“feed stable for the accommodation of freighting
teams.”9 By 1860, Ukiah had approximately 25
dwellings and a budding commercial district. 10
A.T. Perkins was possibly “the most important
man of the region in those days.”11 In 1863 he launched a local newspaper, the Constitutional Democrat.
Perkins was also a silent partner of “one of the leading mercantile establishments of early days in Ukiah.”12 His blacksmith/wagon shop was considered the largest on the north coast. In 1873 he shut down his blacksmith shop and turned his attention to his dry goods store.13 A.T. Perkins, however, continued to work as a blacksmith, and was mortally kicked by a horse he was shoeing. After a two-week period of paralysis, A.T. Perkins died in Ukiah on August 27, 1879.14
Meanwhile, the town continued on its trajectory of steady growth. Ukiah was officially incorporated in 1872 and a more substantial courthouse replaced the earlier structure. The new building was quite a bit grander, and cost the county $40,000.15 County Court convened in the new hall for the first time in March 1873. At this time the town boasted a variety of stores, four churches, seven saloons, and two livery stable. Ukiah’s streets were surveyed and laid out in 1876.

Both towns, however, are in Yuba County north of Sacramento.

Ukiah’s sparse population and relative remoteness delayed the arrival of the railroad. On August 30, 1869, San Francisco & North Pacific Railroad (SF & NPRR) drove in its first railroad stake in Petaluma; it reached Santa Rosa in 1870 and Cloverdale in 1872. In 1886 the Cloverdale and Ukiah Railroad was formed to extend the SF & NPRR north to Ukiah; the line was completed in 1889, twenty years after it began in Petaluma. The improved transportation network did open up Mendocino County to greater commercial and industrial growth, though the population did not expand rapidly. 18 Figure 6: Ukiah Population, 1880 to 2010

11 On Monday, June 1917, the town of Ukiah changed forever. At 3:00 pm a fire was spotted at a Chinese restaurant on the west side of State Street, between Perkins and Church streets. The flames quickly consumed the modest frame structure and
spread to the adjoining Fashion Livery on the north. Strong winds pushed the flames east, forging a two-block wide path of destruction from State street to the railroad tracks. The area was rebuilt over the next decade, showcasing the resilience of the community.

Like communities up and down the west coast, growth of Ukiah skyrocketed after World War II as veterans returned home and took advantage of numerous government programs designed to promote home ownership and community stability. Between 1940 and 1950, the population of Ukiah nearly doubled, jumping from 3,731 to 6,120.
Today, Ukiah boasts a population over 16,000 people. It has a solid commercial district spiraling out from State and Perkins streets.

12 History of 101 South Main Street
From its earliest days, the project area has been in the midst of Ukiah’s commercial heart. Beginning in 1856, Samuel Lowry built a blacksmith shop on what today is the northeast corner of Main and Perkins Streets, across from the project area. In 1857, Lowry sold a 160-acre parcel, including the project area, to the pioneering Perkins family who was relocating to the area from Arkansas via Yuba County. A. T. Perkins ran his own blacksmith shop out of the facility on the property, and built a supporting “feed stable for the accommodation of freighting teams” across the road on the site of the current project area.19 In 1878, Perkins sold the parcel to Robert McKindley, who continued to run the livery until 1885, when David Frost purchased the property. The 1885 and 1888 Sanborn Fire Insurance maps show two adjoining, 1-story, wood-frame buildings, one used for hay and one as a wagon shed.
I.N. Stapp and W.J. Ellis purchased the property in 1887. Wallace Johnson Ellis was a Civil War Veteran who relocated to Ukiah around 1876, following his marriage to his second wife, Orlena A. Brown Ellis.
In 1889, Ellis tore down A.T. Perkins’ original stable on the project area, and in 1890 he bought out his business partner.20 By 1891, the newspaper reported that Ellis was erecting a new, 26’ x 50’ building for Buckle & Keenan on the site. The building was intended to be two stories, but within a week the Dispatch Democrat reported that the building was reduced to one story.21 While the corner building (on the project area) was a blacksmith shop, Ellis operated his “Ellis Feed Barn” on the rest of the property (see Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps below). George Clark took over operation of the “Ellis Feed Barn” in 1903.
W. J. Ellis died October 7, 1909, leaving the property to his wife, Orelena.
Orlena Ellis continued to rent out the commercial buildings on the property.
In June 1917 an epic fire cleared the entire block bounded by Perkins, Main, Church and the railroad, including the project area. In July 1921, following the fire, the Ukiah Republican Press reported that Mrs. W. J.
Ellis planned to rebuild the structure, which would measure 30’ x 150’.22 It is not clear if Ellis actually did rebuild the property, though.
In October 1920 Orlena Ellis sold
the property to William Martin Cox,
though the deed does not specify
whether there was a structure on it.
Cox was born in 1860 in Ukiah,
and was a general merchant. Most
notably, he operated a hardware
store.

13 By 1921 the building was standing and was the new home to Holz Feeds. The 1929 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map shows the building on the site, in its existing configuration, including the clipped northwest corner (see figure 16 below). That building still stands on the site at 101 South Main Street and is the project area.
Stamped sheet metal had been available since the 1870s, when it was showcased by Kittredge Cornice & Ornament Company at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. The popularity of this cladding material, as well as full metal storefronts, soared as a result of more economical fabrication methods and the expanded distribution channels presented by the transcontinental railroad in the 1880s. Manufacturers blanketed the country with hundreds of thousands of catalogs, promoting their metal storefronts as more durable and fire resistant than traditional wood clapboards, as well an economical means of ornamentation. 1905 George L.

14 Between 1870 and 1930 there were more than forty-five architectural metal manufacturers in ten states.
The majority of these firms were located along rail lines near raw materials in states including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and New York. By 1905, George L. Mesker & Co. was advertising that his products were in every state of the country.
By the second decade of the century, however, the popularity of the metal storefronts was waning. Cox’s metal building on South Main Street was at the tail end of the trend.
Cox died from injuries sustained in a car accident on July 6, 1921. His widow, Eugenia, inherited the property, which was eventually sold to W.T. Robuson after her death in 1937.

16 The building remained in constant use as a feed store from 1921 until 1963, through four different businesses: Holz Feed Co., H & W Feed Co., M. Vonsen Co., and Mercer Feed Co. The building’s proximity to the railroad depot on the east side of the block made it an attractive commercial venture.
A 1937 marketing film made to promote and showcase local businesses in Ukiah includes footage of the building as it appeared shortly after its construction (see figure 20 below). The building has been slightly modified since then.
The fenestration on the north elevation retains its 1937 appearance, though the west side has changed with the open bay being replaced by two windows. The primary entrance has also been changed from its original 6-paneled doors with multi-paned transom to the current half-glass door with jalousie transom (see photo 31). The awning has been replaced and redesigned to wrap around the northwest corner to shelter the entrance. An aerial photograph from 1938 indicates that the false front across the north elevation was removed between 1937 and 1938 (see figure 21 below).

19 Figure 26: 1957 Aerial of Ukiah (Cartwright Aerial Surveys, CAS-1957) In 1963 the building was transformed into retail space and became the site of “Schuler’s Surplus Sales.” A building permit from July 17, 1962, states that air conditioning was installed in the structure, supporting the hypothesis that the building was repurposed at this time. It is probable that the bay on the west elevation was replaced with two windows at this time to better enclose the space for retail use. The use of jalousie transoms on these two windows also supports this date, given the popularity of jalousie windows in the 1950s and 1960s. The front door appears to have been replaced at this time with the current half-glass French doors with jalousie transom. These replacement doors provided significantly more light to the interior.
This change of use was indicative of the changing face of Ukiah at mid-century. The modern town needed general retail space instead of feed stores, wagon sheds and blacksmith shops.
The building has remained in consistent use as a commercial facility since 1963, cycling through at least seven tenants, as outlined in the “Table of Tenants” below. The current business, “Dragon’s Lair,” has been in the building since 1995.

4. determined by the lead agency, through the presence of substantial evidence, to be historically significant because of its association with significant events, association with significant persons, architectural distinction, or potential to yield information important in history or prehistory.
The building at 101 South Main Street is identified in the 1985 “Ukiah Historic Resource Survey” and the 1999 “City of Ukiah Architectural Survey” as historically significant. It is included in the State of California’s “Built Environmental Resource Database (BERD)” with a designation of “5S2,” meaning that a local government has recognized the resource as “eligible for local listing or designation.” Where the previous local inventory suggests that the building is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), I defer to the State of California’s assessment that the building is significant at the LOCAL level and not the national level. (See Appendix B for copies of local inventory forms.)
CRITERIA
According to the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), a building, structure or object is eligible for listing in the California Register if it meets one or more of the four following criteria:24 Criteria 101 South Main Street
1. Associated with events that have made a
significant contribution to the broad patterns
of local or regional history or the cultural
heritage of California or the United States.
This commercial building is directly associated
with the post-fire, early twentieth century
commercial development of the east side of
Ukiah.
2. Associated with the lives of persons
important to local, California or national
history.
While the property was initially developed by
one of Ukiah’s founding fathers (A.T. Perkins),
the current building was built after that period.
It is not directly associated with any persons
significant to local, state or national history.

22 3. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a
type, period, region or method of
construction or represents the work of a
master or possesses high artistic values.
The utilitarian building is not architecturally
distinctive and does not possess high artistic
values.
4. Has yielded, or has the potential to yield,
information important to the prehistory or
history of the local area, California or the
nation
Even though no archeological surveys have been
conducted on this site specifically, there remains
a possibility that buried archaeological deposits
could be present and that accidental discovery
could occur. In keeping with the CEQA guidelines,
if such archaeological remains are unearthed,
work at the place of discovery should be halted
immediately until a qualified archaeologist can
evaluate the finds. Should archeological
resources be discovered, avoidance and
preservation in place would be the preferred forms
of mitigation.
Prehistoric archaeological indicators include:
obsidian and chert flakes and chipped stone tools;
grinding and mashing implements (e.g., slabs and
handstones, and mortars and pestles); bedrock
outcrops and boulders with mortar cups; and
locally darkened midden soils. Midden soils may
contain a combination of any of the previously
listed items, with the possible addition of bone and
shell remains and fire-affected stones.
Historic period site indicates generally include:
fragments of glass, ceramic, and metal objects;
milled and split lumber; and structure and feature
remains, such as building foundations and
discrete trash deposits (e.g. wells, privy pits,
dumps).
INTEGRITY ANALYSIS
Integrity is the ability of a property to convey its historic significance. It consists of seven aspects: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association.25 Integrity Element 101 South Main Street Conclusion

the northeast corner of the north elevation, infilling
a bay on the west elevation and adding two
windows to the west elevation.
These changes, however, do not impede the
structure’s ability to convey its 1921 origins as a
commercial building. At the same time, the
building retains its basic utilitarian design.
Setting (“physical
environment”)
The nineteenth and early-twentieth century
commercial setting has been gradually converted
into a modern commercial intersection. Only two
buildings from the early twentieth century (post
1917 fire) remain to tell the story of the commercial
history of this block.
COMPROMISED
Materials
The original materials remain predominantly intact
on all four elevations, though they have been
patched and replaced in-kind over the past
century.
INTACT
Workmanship
(“evidence of labor
and skill”)
The utilitarian building does not display notable
workmanship. N/A
Feeling (“expression
of the aesthetic or
historic sense of a
particular period of
time”)
The site itself retains its basic light
industrial/commercial feeling, though the
surrounding area has been altered. Almost all of
the other light industrial buildings in the area have
been demolished and replaced with modern
commercial buildings, including the mid-century
post office across the street and the modern
buildings directly east and south of the project
area. The block no longer services agricultural
functions of the surrounding area.
INTACT
Association (“direct
link between an
important historic
event or person”)
The property directly retains its early commercial
associations. The building appears basically as it
did when it was built around 1921, with minor
changes to the fenestration, roof line and
entrances.
INTACT
CHARACTER DEFINING FEATURES
The National Park Service defines character and “character defining features” as:
those visual aspects and physical features that comprise the appearance of every historic building. Character-defining elements include the overall shape of the building, its materials, craftsmanship, decorative details, interior spaces and features, as well as the various aspects of its site and environment.26

101 S. Main Street, Ukiah, Mendocino County.
Historic Resource Evaluation – UPDATED Jan 2022
24 The following table addresses the standard elements of “character defining features” as applied to 101 South Main Street.
Feature 101 South Main Street
Shape 1-story. Rectangular footprint. Clipped at NW corner.
Roof and roof features Gabled roof with false front on the west elevation fronting South Main Street.
Openings
Entrance at the clipped NW corner. Irregularly spaced window openings of varying sizes and shapes across the west and north elevations. No windows on the south or east sides.
Note: The current front door is a replacement feature in the location of the original doors ,and the southern windows on the west elevation are not original to the building. Both of these modifications date to 1963.
Projections
Porch at SE corner. Metal awning with corrugated metal roof across the west elevation.
Note: The current awning is a replacement awning in
roughly the same location as the original feature.
Trim & Secondary Features None.
Materials (from a distance) Metal.
Setting Medium Density Commercial.
Materials (at close range) Pressed tin. Corrugated metal.
Craft Details None.
Conclusion
The building at 101 South Main Street dates from 1921, is included in Ukiah’s 1985 “Historic Resources Survey,” and is included in the State of California’s “Built Environmental Resource Database (BERD)” with a designation of “5S2,” meaning that a local government has recognized the resource as “eligible for local listing or designation.” Where the previous local inventory suggests that the building is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), I defer to the State of California’s more recent determination that the building is significant at the LOCAL level and not the national level.
Further evaluation and research of the property confirms that the information in the earlier reconnaissance level survey is correct and that the building appears to be significant for its association with the post-fire redevelopment of Ukiah (criterion 1). Its period of significance is 1921 (its inferred construction date), and the building retains enough physical integrity to convey its early twentieth century commercial origins, which render it historic. The dipalidated utilitarian building does not appear to be significant for its architectural merit (criterion 3).
Based on extensive research of the development of this parcel, it is my professional opinion that the building qualifies as an historic resource under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The 1-story, gable-roofed, wood-framed commercial building has a roughly rectangular footprint, with the NW corner clipped to accommodate the primary entrance. It is clad in corrugated metal and capped with corrugated metal roofing. The west and north elevations are faced in pressed tin to simulate rusticated, coursed, ashlar stone. The west elevation, fronting South Main street, is dominated by a false front that extends above the gable end of the roof and is capped with a pronounced boxed cornice. The street-facing side of the false front is faced with pressed tin; the rear is faced with corrugated metal. A corrugated metal awning extends the length of the west elevation and wraps around the northwest corner to shelter the primary entrance. A scalloped detail obscures the edge of the awning and adds visual interest. This elevation has 3 windows. The northernmost window is a fixed sash, single-paned window topped by a 6-paned transom window. The frame is simple board surround with a slightly projecting sill. The middle and south windows have fixed sashes set in aluminum frames.
Glass, jalousie transom top the windows. The frames have no projecting sills. The entrance is on the NW corner and consists of a pair of half-glass French doors with raised panels beneath arched glass panes. The door has a glass, jalousie transom and simple board frame.

(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The parcel was the site of early commercial development in Ukiah, dating to 1857 when Absalom Tidwell Perkins built a livery on this corner of the country crossroads. The original building was replaced with a second livery/hay barn in 1890. Ukiah’s June 1917 fire destroyed the 2nd building, and a 3rd structure was built on the site by at least 1921. From 1921-1963 the building served as a feed store. The building was converted to retail space in 1963. Modifications made at that time included infilling 2 open bays with windows, replacing the front doors, replacing and reconfiguring the awning, and adding an additional window. The false front that most defines the building was modified in 1938, but retains its basic early 20th century feeling. The building has remained in retail use almost continuously since 1963.The building is significant for its association with the post-fire redevelopment of Ukiah. It stands as the only remaining building to tell the story of how this block functioned as a service hub for agricultural commerce in the region. The building retains enough physical integrity to convey its early 20th century commercial origins.

*P3a. Description (CONTINUED):
The north elevation has 3 original windows at irregular intervals and an infilled bay on the eastern corner. The original windows have multi-lite, wood transoms. The western-most window is identical to the flanking window on the west elevation. To its east lies a set of 3 multi-paned windows framed as a single unit. Another single-paned, wood frame window is roughly centered on the elevation. The bay at the eastern corner has been infilled with corrugated metal and a small, single pane, wood framed window. The building’s concrete foundation is visible on this elevation.
The east elevation has no openings and is covered with a mural of ionic columns that was painted in 7/1982 by Neil Phillip Anderson and Rita Lowitt, according to the signature at the bottom right of the artwork. The rear of the building (the south elevation) has a variety of mechanical equipment and a single pedestrian door at the eastern corner. A simple wood porch with 4 wood steps accesses the paneled rear door.

FINDINGS TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND AUTHORIZE ISSUANCE OF A DEMOLITION PERMIT FOR TWO STRUCTURES OVER THE AGE OF 50 YEARS OLD LOCATED AT 101 AND 105 SOUTH MAIN STREET (APN 002-231-01) FILE NO. 21-6155 & 21-6623
1. The City of Ukiah, as the Lead Agency, prepared an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISMND) for the Project (SCH No. 2022030389) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
2. The Lead Agency (City) consulted with all applicable responsible agencies and trustee agencies.
3. The Draft ISMND was circulated for public review from March 14, 2022 through April 15, 2022.
No public comments on the ISMND were received during the public review period.
4. The ISMND analyzed areas of potential impacts and based on the conclusions reached within it, the Project would not significantly impact any environmental resources for the following reasons:
a. Temporary ground disturbing activities associated with demolition would have an impact on Air Quality and Cultural/Tribal Cultural Resources. However, mitigation measures identified within the Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program (Section VIII of the ISMND) would adequately reduce all impacts to less than significant.
b. The Project would result in a less than significant impact to Aesthetics, Biological Resources, Energy, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gases, Hazards Materials, Land Use, Mineral Resources, Noise and Public Services. c. The Project would have no impact on Agriculture and Forestry Resources, Hydrology and Water Quality, and Population and Housing.
5. Based on the findings and conclusions contained in the ISMND, the proposed Project would not have environmental effects which would cause substantial adverse effects on humans, either directly or indirectly; and there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the City of Ukiah (including the ISMND and any comments received) that the Project would have a significant effect on the environment.
6. Based upon the analysis, findings, and conclusions contained in the ISMND, the Project will not result in impacts that are individually limited, but cumulative considerable.
7. The Notice of Availability for the public review period, and the Notice of Intent to adopt the ISMND and conduct a public hearing was provided in the following manner, in accordance with the Ukiah City Code and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15073:
Provided to property owners within 300 feet of the Project parcel, as well as agencies and departments with jurisdiction or interest over the project on March 14, 2022; provided to interested parties who submitted written comments on the Draft ISMND during the public review period on March 14, 2022; posted on the City’s CEQA webpage on March 15, 2022 and March 7, 2022; published in the Ukiah Daily Journal on March 16, 2022; posted on the

8. The ISMND and record of proceedings of the decision on the Project are available for public review at the City of Ukiah Community Development Department, Ukiah Civic Center, 300 Seminary Avenue, Ukiah, CA.
9. On December 28, 2021, the City’s Demolition Review Committee (DRC) held a public meeting and reviewed the Demolition Permit, in accordance with Ukiah City Code Section 3016(e).
The DRC meeting was properly noticed in accordance with 3016(d). The DRC determined that the two buildigns do not meet the criteria outlined in UCC 3016(e), and as such, recommended that City Council authorize issuance of the Demolition Permit to demolish the two structures.
10. On May 4, 2022, the City Council held a public hearing in accordance with UCC 3016(g) to receive public comment and consider the DRC’s reccomendation, as well as approval of the ISMND for the Project.
11. The City Council determined that the two buildings do not meet the criteria outlined in Section UCC 3016(e), and as such, authorized issuance of the Demolition Permit and adopted the ISMND and via Resolution Number 22-XXXX; this decision reflects the City Council’s independent judgment and analysis.

Councilmembers,
My name is Alyssa Ballard and I’m a professional historian with nine years experience in Mendocino County historical institutions and a lifelong resident of Ukiah. I am writing as a member of the City of Ukiah’s Demolition Permit Review Committee (DPRC), and as a concerned citizen, so I will divide my letter into two portions so as to not intermix my roles.
As a member of the DPRC:
On December 28, 2021, the DRPC met to review a demolition permit for 101 and 105 S. Main Street in Ukiah. I sit on this committee with Tim Eriksen, Craig Schlatter, Matthew Keizer, and the final seat is vacant. For 105 S. Main Street, the votes were three out of three in attendance to demolish. For 101 S. Main Street, the votes were two for demolition and one vote against demolition. My reason for writing is that I would like to explain my vote against the demolition of 101. S. Main Street in Ukiah.
The duty of the DPRC is to research the historical, cultural, and architectural significance of the subject structure; evaluate the feasibility of rehabilitating or relocating the structure if it is deemed historical; in the event that the structure is found to have historic or architectural significance, determine if the salvaging of historic materials is feasible. The committee then offers a recommendation to the City Council regarding whether any of the criteria listed in the Ukiah City Code Section 3016(E) apply to the subject structure, and whether or not the Demolition Permit should be issued, issued with conditions, or denied.
Per Ukiah City Code Section 3016(e):
In reviewing proposed permits, and formulating recommendations to the city council, the demolition review committee shall consider any information provided during the meeting, and shall use the following criteria. The structure:
1. Has a special or particular quality such as oldest, best example, largest, or last surviving example of its kind; or
2. Exemplifies or reflects special elements of the city’s cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, or architectural history; or
3. Is strongly identified with persons or events significant in local, state, or national history.
Per UCC Section 3016(f), if the Demolition Review Committee finds that any of the criteria listed in subsection (e) apply to the building proposed for demolition, it shall recommend denial of the permit to the City Council.
ATTACHMENT 6
2 When discussing the historic importance of a building, in this case, it is the structure’s historic importance to Ukiah that is in question, and not the structure’s historic importance on the state or national level.
I voted “no” because I believe #1 and #2 under UCC Section 3016(e) apply to 101. S. Main Street for the following reasons:
1. The State of California’s Historic Resource Evaluation (1999 Update) states “This pressed metal-clad building is an excellent example of its type and the only one left in Ukiah.” This is not a factor that can change with time. Fulfilling #1 of UCC Section 3016(e)
2. State of California’s Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO) identifies the building status code as “5S2”, meaning that the local government has identified it as individually eligible for local listing.
3. A Historic Resource Evaluation prepared by Alice P. Duffee*, a Historic Preservation Planner for APD Preservation LLC was ordered in January 2020 by a prospective buyer of 101 S. Main Street. The report stated:
a. “it is my professional opinion that the building qualifies as an historic resource under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)” 1 b. “It stands as the only remaining building to tell the story of how this block functioned as a service hub for agricultural commerce in the region.” Fulfilling #1 and #2 of UCC Section 3016(e)
c. “…the building does appear to be significant for its association with post-fire redevelopment in Ukiah.” Referring to Ukiah’s devastating fire of 1917. Fulfilling #2 of UCC Section 3016(e)
*Duffee has an MS in Historic Preservation, has a BA in Architectural History, is a member of the California Historical Consultants, and has 25+ years of experience.
I reviewed all the research in the Historic Resource Evaluation, the material produced by the state, and did my own independent research, and came to the conclusion that 101 S. Main Street is historically significant to Ukiah and agree with all the points made above. I feel this 1 Duffee issued an update in November 2021 in the form of a letter (and later a revised HRE that was not provided until the CEQA was released in March 2021), as the State of California updated its guidelines. Duffee stated that it was her professional opinion that the building still fulfilled criterion A (now 1) meaning it is significant to the history of Ukiah’s early commercial development but it no longer fulfilled criterion C (now 3) as listed on the State of California’s Historic Resource Evaluation (1999 Update). The criteria states, the building “embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region or method of construction or represents the work of a master or possesses high artistic values,” which is the standard of significance for architectural merit. This only means the state no longer views it as officially eligible for historic status on the state or national level. It does not change the assertion that it is the only commercial building of its type left in Ukiah and historically important locally. Vernacular commercial buildings are rarely considered a “work of a master” or as possessing high artistic values”.
3 should exclude 101 S. Main Street from demolition based on the criteria set by Ukiah City Code 3016(e) and that is why I voted “no”.
Through the City of Ukiah’s current demolition process it is our duty to first determine whether the building is historic (does it fulfill #1, #2, #3, of UCC 3016 e). Only after that determination is made should current condition, use, or any other issues/topics pertaining to the building be discussed. They are not factors in the determination of the building’s historic status in Ukiah.
As a professional historian and a concerned member of the public:
Historic buildings are an important part of what gives a city or town its character. They are the physical representations of a town’s cultural history. They help give people a sense of place and connection to the past. Historic buildings add character to an area and give the area more prominence compared to the homogenized landscapes that dominate larger cities and suburbs.
A major reason we celebrate and love downtown Ukiah is because of its unique historic buildings. That uniqueness is also what attracts investment and tourism.
Most of our loved historic buildings in Ukiah’s downtown would not qualify for official state or national historic registers and are listed in the State of California’s Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO) classification system (updated March 2020) as “5S2” (local government has identified it as individually eligible for local listing) which is the same listing as 101 S. Main Street. Some examples of Ukiah buildings that are listed as “5S2” are the Marks Building (102 S.
State Street), the White Building (111 N. State), the Rudee Building (117 N. State), the Eversole Building (304 N. State), the Dowling Building (301 N. State), the Gillespie Building (238 N. State) and countless more. If we do not protect buildings coded as “5S2”, Ukiah’s entire historic downtown, sans a couple of buildings, could be lost.
It should also be noted that everything that has been listed for 101 S. Main as potential hurdles (cost-prohibitive to bring up to code, condition, etc.) can be said for almost all of our historic buildings downtown. Many of the issues are not unique to this building; rather they are quite common issues one will run into while owning a historic structure. In my opinion they do not directly point to demolition as the only possible solution. Additionally, 101 S. Main Street is one of three historic commercial structures left of the east side of Main Street.
Finally, per proposed mitigation measures in the CEQA, if we deem a building worthy enough of a plaque to commemorate its existence, why not try to preserve the building while we still have it?
I ask that you please consider the information I have laid out above when the matter comes before the City Council. Thank you for taking the time to read my statements.

4 Addendum:
I have attached to this letter a portion of the original Historic Resource Evaluation (HRE) that was prepared for prospective buyer of 101 S. Main Street, Douglass Hilberman, AXIA Architects, Santa Rosa, in January 2020. This evaluation was prepared by Alice Duffee who made a site visit in January 2020 as part of her research. A revised version of the evaluation was released with the CEQA and Notice of Public Hearing in March 2022 (after the Demolition Review Committee had already met).
This version states on the cover page “Revised January 2022 for Todd Schapmire”. I noticed that the revised Project Overview & Executive Summary (page 5 in both versions) left out some important conclusions made by Duffee in the original. These were statements regarding factors that have not changed since the original was published and I’m unsure why they were left out of the revised version. I do not know if you will receive the original HRE so I have attached a few pages with highlighted portions directing you to these statements and items I have referred to in my letter.
The word “dilapidated” was also not used anywhere in the original HRE but is included in the revised version. I do not believe there have been any significant changes to the condition of the building in two years.

Historic Resource Evaluation
Project Overview &Executive Summary
Prospective buyers of the property at 101 South Main Street in Ukiah, California, are assessing the historic character of the building as part of the decision making process. They hired Alice P. Duffee, an architectural historian and preservation planner with APO Preservation LLC, to evaluate the historic character of the property and identify what features, if any, render the property historically significant. This report is the result of that evaluation.
The parcel was the site of early commercial development in Ukiah, dating to 1857 when Absalom Tidwell Perkins built a livery on this corner of the country crossroads. That original building was replaced by a second livery/hay barn in 1890. Ukiah's June 1917 fire destroyed that second building, and a third structure was built on the site y bat least by 1921. From 1921 to 1963 the building served as a feed store under four different businesses. With the modernization of Ukiah, the building was converted to retail space in 1963.
Modifications made to that building at that time included infilling two open bays with windows, replacing the front doors, replacing and reconfiguring the awning, and installing an additional window. The false front that most defines the building was modified in 1938, but retains its basic early twentieth century appearance.
The building has remained in retail use almost continuously since 1963.
The building at 101 South Main Street dates from 1921, is included in Ukiah's 1985 "Historic Resources Survey'' (updated in 1999) and is included in the State of California's inventory of historic resources with a status code of 3S, meaning that it appears to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
Intensive evaluation and research of the property confirms that the information in the earlier reconnaissance level surveys is correct and that the building does appear to be significant for its association with the postfire redevelopment of Ukiah (criterion 1 ). It stands as the only remaining building to tell the story of how this block functioned as a service hub for agricultural commerce in the region. Its period of significance is 1921 (its inferred construction date), and it retains enough physical integrity to convey the early twentieth century commercial origins that render it historic.
Based on extensive research of the development of this parcel, it is my professional opinion that the bulldlng gyaHfles as an historic resouree under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The character defining features of this historic building are as follows:
• False front with pronounced box cornice on west elevation • One-story
• Rectangular footprint with clipped corner at northwest corner • Entrance on the clipped northwest corner
• Gable roof
• Pressed tin siding on west and north elevations, corrugated metal siding on east and south • Irregular window placement
Methodology

7b. Briefly describe the present physical dw:ription of the site or structure and describe anv major alterations from iu otlgln1I condition:
The small one story coml!!ercial building is rectangular in form, with an angular corner. The main body of the building has a gabled form roof, behind the tall parapeted facade wall of the shop front. A molded tin cornice projects from the top of the wall, and a canopy extends over the ground floor shop windows and angled entry. The north elevation contains a large window and two smaller grouped ones all with multi-paned upper portions. The frame building is sheathed with pressed metal panels, patterned to rese~ble courses of rusticat ed stone. Signs have been added to the facade and the corrugated metal sheathing rear of the store has been painted with stylized Greek columns.
Alterations include some modifications to openings on sides and rear of building, minor additions to the south elevation, and some interior remodeling. A tromp l'oeil painting of large clas9ical columns was painted across the rear of the building around 1981-82.

19. Briefly state historical trtd/or architectural importance !include dates, events, and personi associated with the site.) In 1878 Robt, McKinley purchased the SE corner of Perkins and Hain from A.T.
Perkins, McKinley lived in a house on the site and shared the lot with a feed stables he owned. The McKinley family kept a part interest in the bueiness until 1885. In 1889 the old stablee were torn down and new blacksmith - wagon shop structure was built by the Ellis family who then owned the property, In 1917 the big downtown fire destroyed all the buildinge on the lot. The W,M, Cox Company bought the property from the Ellis' in Oct. 1920. The Cox family had owned generol merchantile and grocery etores in Ukiah for many years. A deed transfer from the Cox Co. to widow in March 1922 implies that the building was on site,
In 1925 Eugenia Cox, widow of W.M~ leased the building to W.R. Hildreth and F,M, Wilson (see 216 w. Henry) for 72 moths at $100 a month with permission to let them place a large pair of scales on the premises, For 111any years this building was used to buy and sell produce, hay and clean grain.
The structure is representative of a type of co111111ercial structure co11111on to its era.
It is a rather rare survivor of the type in Ukiah, and is located prominently. Its surf acing lllaterials and form create a rather strong image of past lifestyles,

Subject: to the council
Dear City Council Member
My name is Edith Lucas, owner of The Dragon’s Lair at 101 S Main St here in Ukiah.
I understand that you will be reviewing the request for permission to demolish the building at our location sometime soon; and that, per the hearing conducted by the planning department on Dec 28, the committee reviewing the application was split two to one in favor of granting that permission.
With things not looking so good for us, I have been reviewing my options as to where to put my business if you all decide in favor of demolishing.
As I’ve been looking around, I’ve noticed a lot of vacant spaces, many in ill repair, and it just struck me like never before… why tear something down that is occupied and working? For a landmark, it is extremely well known and with the addition of my business, would seem to embody the city motto of Far Out Nearby.
It brings people in to Ukiah from near to very far away on a regular basis to enjoy that experience.
But even if it wasn’t my business in that building, I believe it is still interesting enough to be a really unique part of what makes our city special.
I know you are tasked with evaluating the building impartially and on certain criteria, but it appears that even that evaluation is not able to be done completely impartially. So, even though I can understand the position of my landlord – a local guy who I trust has the best interest of the place - downtown Ukiah, into which he has invested so much time and money – at heart, I still think it is not a slam dunk nor should it be.
Can it be proven that the end result will not be just another abandoned building, empty lot or modern architectural misfit?
I wish that local government could facilitate the collaboration of interested parties in taking care of old buildings such as the one at 101 S Main. The Mendocino County Historical Society thinks of it as worth preserving.
I’m not in a position to do it alone, but I would certainly be willing to be a part of a group who wanted to buy it and do what it takes to maintain it.
Over the years, my responsibilities to my employees, my customers and things like paying sales taxes, utility bills and all the other operational expenses have always taken priority over building maintenance for me, especially since neither my current nor my past landlord were interested in giving me a lease.
I recently had some remedial wiring done on the inside of 101 S Main St and I passed the fire marshal’s inspection, it wasn’t that hard.
I can imagine that, with the will to do it, maintenance solutions can be found for the old building, it is definitely not too far gone in my opinion.
My current landlord has offered me the option of one of his buildings at 121 N State St.
It is still an unfinished shell inside and is also very old with what appears to be a condemned upstairs. It has an earthquake warning for unreinforced brick and the entryway next door to the south on State St appeared to be occupied by a homeless person when I went by yesterday. With minimal parking and not much exposure to the public, you can imagine that it is not my first choice. In fact, on the issues of earthquake safety and general personal safety, our current location feels a whole lot safer to me.
Either way, I am a believer in what’s best for everyone, so I’m ready to go with the decision that you will be handing down.
Thank you for your time and attention,
Sincerely,
Edith Lucas
Dear City Council Member,
Edith Lucas here again with a P.S.
Well now I really am in a quandary.
I have shared my opinion and point of view with all of you.
And I have heard from my landlord that it would be better for me in the long run if you approve his application to demolish because I would probably get to stay there longer since he doesn’t even have any plans or a time frame in place for that action and it would seem that it could be a long time before a prospective developer is ready to buy and develop.
He has said that he wouldn’t even sell to someone who’s plans he didn’t like. And I’m sure the city has many guidelines that have to be followed when constructing anything so close to the heart of our precious downtown.
I am many things but I do not consider myself to be a visionary (like my landlord) when it comes to creating a city.
I want to trust that the best really will take place for everyone involved and I especially do not want to be in an adversarial relationship with my landlord! I don’t envy your position in having to make this decision.
Thank you again for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
Edith Lucas

RE: Broker Opinion of Value for 101 South Main Street
Dear Ms. Irace,
For the Historical Demolition Review Committee to assess whether a viable market exists for the subject building, an assessment of market value versus cost to repair the building must be made. As you know, I am the owner of the subject property and the applicant for the demolition permit, however I am also the top producing commercial real estate agent in Mendocino County. Given that I am the applicant, I feel it necessary to verify my credentials for making an assessment on value to you and the committee. Attached you will find real estate agent production for commercial and investment real estate closed transactions in Mendocino County since January 1, 2020 from BAREIS MLS that clearly show I am qualified to provide this assessment.
The subject property consists of two buildings that are approximately 3,200 square feet and 2,800 square feet for a total of approximately 6,000 square feet.
Attached is data on commercial sales in central Ukiah since January 1, 2019 which range in sales price per square foot from $37.50 to $213.89. Currently in the downtown area there are two properties on the market, 301 North Main Street has been on the market for 276 days for $161.29 per square foot and 214 East Perkins has been on the market for 637 days at $96.23.
Not included in the attached information is the off market sales of 102 South State Street for approximately $140 per square foot on April 30, 2021 and 295 North State for approximately $125 per square foot on June 1, 2021.
The attached data clearly shows that dilapidated buildings in Ukiah sell for $100/SF or less and that the high end of the market is about $200/SF. Since we are assuming bringing the building up to current codes and the subject property would be in excellent condition, we can round up and safely say that the absolute best case scenario for improved value of the subject property is $250/SF which is $1,500,000.
ATTACHMENT 7
2 | Page
I have consulted with two very reputable builders, Cupples & Sons Construction and Western Builders, regarding the cost to update the building which would require bringing it to current codes. Both came up with the same opinion completely independent of one another that it would cost $400 - $500 per square foot to make such improvements. Attached are letters from both companies with their opinions. Therefore it would cost approximately $2,400,000 - $3,000,000 to repair the building and after those repairs the building would be worth $1,500,000 at the absolute best case scenario. If you take into account the $420,000 that I paid for the property and do not even count any appreciation that has occurred, I would lose somewhere between $1,320,000 and $1,920,000. Unfortunately, based on current real estate values and the cost to repair the building, a viable market to repair the building simply does not exist.
Please feel free to call or email me anytime with questions.
Sincerely,
Todd Schapmire Jr.

Ukiah, California 95482
RE: 101 and 105 South Main Street, Ukiah, CA
Dear Mr. Schapmire,
We have reviewed the buildings at 101 and 105 South Main Street. 101 South Main is an approximately 3,200 square foot wood framed, metal/tin sided building in extremely poor condition. 105 South Main Street is an approximately 2,800 square foot wood framed, metal sided building in extremely poor condition. In order to bring these buildings up to code and safety standards a complete remodel of the buildings would be necessary, including but not limited to, electrical, plumbing, roof structures, roof surfaces, sub-floors, floorings, fire suppression systems, and reconfiguring both the buildings and sites to be ADA compliant.
In essence to update these buildings to current code, we would have to build a new building inside the existing shell. It could be done, however, the costs will be exorbitant and you will still end up with some functional obsolescence. To complete a formal bid, I would need to get compensated for my time which I estimate to be approximately $2,000 - $3,000 for this specific
project. However, I can tell you with absolute certainty you are looking at a minimum of $400 per square foot and probably more likely $500 per square foot. Based on 6,000 square feet, you are looking at a $2,400,000 to $3,000,000 project.
Please feel free to contact with any questions or if you would like to discuss further.
Sincerely,
Casey Cupples

RE: 101 S. Main St, Ukiah
Dear Todd:
We have completed an extensive review of the property and two buildings located at 101 S.
Main Street in Ukiah CA. The existing structures on the site are in poor condition and fail to meet current building codes and standards. Upgrading the existing structures to meet current code and market rate standards would require extensive repairs and enhancements. Costs for such upgrades can range in the $400-$500 per square foot to address the buildings and site combined. These values would not include soft costs such as architecture, engineering and permit fees, nor would they include any off-site improvements imposed by the City of Ukiah.
This assessment is based upon visits to the site and historical accountings of similar redevelopment projects.
Please let us know if you require further analysis at this time.
Sincerely,
Robert Cantu

MEETING DATE/TIME: 5/4/2022
ITEM NO: 2022-1612
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Consideration of Authorization of City Manager to Execute a Grant Agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration, and Award of Bid for Spec. 21-06 Runway 15-33 Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 2, Contingent on Grant Offer to Complete the Runway 15-33 Width Reduction from 150 Feet to 75 Feet; and Install New Lighting (Construction); and Approval of Corresponding Budget Amendment.
DEPARTMENT: Airport PREPARED BY: Greg Owen, Airport Manager, Mary Horger, Financial Services Manager
PRESENTER: Greg Owen, Airport Manager
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Bid Results - Spec 21-06 - Runway 15.33 Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 2 (2)
2. Royal Electric's Bid
Summary: Staff is requesting that the Council authorize the City Manager to execute a grant agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration and award a bid for Specification No. 21-06 - Runway 15-33 Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 2, contingent on Grant Offer to complete the Runway 15-33 width reduction from 150 feet to 75 feet; and install new LED MIRLS (Medium Intensity Runway Lighting System), Runway Threshold Lights (Remove and Install New), a New Runway 15 LED REIL (Runway End Identifier Lights), New Runway 33 LED REIL Installation, and a New LED PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator); and approve a corresponding budget amendment.
Background: At the December 15, 2021, Council meeting, Council approved Plans and Specifications to complete the Runway15-33 width reduction from 150 feet to 75 feet; and install new LED MIRLS (Medium Intensity Runway Lighting System), Runway Threshold Lights (Remove and Install New), a New Runway 15 LED REIL (Runway End Identifier Lights), New Runway 33 LED REIL Installation, and a New LED PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator).
Discussion: On March 10, 2022, bids were released for Specification 21-06 Runway 15-33 Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 2, which consisted of sending Bid Notices to Builder’s Exchanges and licensed Class A Contractors on the City’s Qualified Bidder’s list, sending an advertisement for publishing in the Ukiah Daily Journal, and posting the bid documents on the City’s website. Bids were publicly opened on April 14, 2022, receiving one (1) bid. Please refer to Attachment 1 for a copy of the bid results. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder is Royal Electric, with a bid amount of $2,222,222.00. Please refer to Attachment 2 for a copy of Royal Electric Bid.
Staff is requesting the Council authorize the City Manager to execute a grant agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration and award of bid for Spec. 21-06 Runway 15-33 Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 2, Contingent on Grant Offer Runway 15-33 width reduction from 150 feet to 75 feet; and install new LED MIRLS (Medium Intensity Runway Lighting System), Runway Threshold Lights (Remove and Install New), a New Runway 15 LED REIL (Runway End Identifier Lights), New Runway 33 LED REIL Installation, and a New LED PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator).
The Contingent FAA funding is 90% of the project cost, total project cost $2,509,484, Royal Electric $2,222,222, Project Administration and Inspection expense $287,262, Caltrans grant match of 5%, $112,927.
The balance of the funds, or $138,022, will be funded from the Airport Fund. Staff is requesting a
corresponding budget amendment for both the project costs, as well as the grant funding, and reflects a 10% contingency in the event of change orders.
The timing of this project is a concern that Staff has grappled with since the Airport is open every day yearround. However, due to construction requirements and FAA funding for this project, the runway may be closed during fire season, causing Cal Fire to relocate for several weeks. Cal Fire air tankers will be relocated to the next closest bases, Santa Rosa and Chico, which are between 15-25 minutes away by air. Cal Fire supports this project, and Staff has been working with Cal Fire on the projected runway closures. Helicopter access will not be impacted by the project, even during construction. Staff will continue to work with the contractor to limit the impact on Cal Fire and other airport users.
Recommended Action: Authorize City Manager to execute Grant Agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration and award of bid for Spec. 21-06 Runway 15-33 Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 2, contingent on Grant Offer to complete the Runway 15-33 width reduction from 150 feet to 75 feet; and install new lighting (Construction); and approve corresponding budget amendment.

1. 2022 City Council Special Assignments
Summary: City Council members will provide reports and updates on their committee and ad hoc assignments. If necessary, the Council may consider modifications.
Background: City Council members are assigned to a number of committees and ad hoc activities. These assignments are included as Attachment 1.
Discussion: Previously, the City Council discussed having more time allocated to reporting on committee and ad hoc activities. Often, the Council Reports section of the regular agenda is rushed due to impending business (i.e., public hearings), and not enough time is afforded for reports beyond community activities.
In an effort to foster regular updates on committee and ad hoc assignments, this item is being placed on the agenda to provide the City Council members an expanded opportunity to report on assignments and modify assignments as necessary.
Recommended Action: Receive report(s). The Council will consider modifications to committee and ad hoc assignments along with the creation/elimination ad hoc(s).
