1. Proclamation - Police Week 2022
Summary: The City Council will consider issuing a proclamation recognizing May 15th through the 21st as Police Week in the City of Ukiah.

Background: In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a bill into law designating May 15th of each year as Peace Officers’ Memorial Day, and the week in which it falls as Police Week. Each year during Police Week, communities across the United States have gathered to hold memorial services in tribute to the more than 23,000 law enforcement officers who have made the supreme sacrifice for their communities.

There are currently over 22,000 names engraved on the walls of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington D.C., including the names of local law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.

There were four hundred fifty-eight law enforcement officers killed in the United States in 2021, and thus far, in 2022, eighty-five officers have lost their lives while serving their communities.

Discussion: Currently, more than 900,000 law enforcement officers proudly serve their communities across the nation, including the dedicated officers of the Ukiah Police Department and in Mendocino County.

To honor fallen officers who were killed in the line of duty, in-person events are planned for May 11th -17th in Washington, DC, and the 34th annual Candlelight Vigil will be held on May 13th in Washington D.C. The City of Ukiah Building Maintenance has arranged for the exterior of the City of Ukiah Civic Center to be accented in blue lighting throughout the week in commemoration of Police Week. The color blue has long been associated with those charged with maintaining order during unrest.

As May 15th is designated as Peace Officers’ Memorial Day in recognition of the fallen officers and their families, U.S. flags should be flown at half-staff. The proclamation recognizing May 15th through May 21st as Police Week in Ukiah is attached.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute a Contract Between the City of Ukiah and the County of Mendocino to Receive PG&E Disaster Settlement Funds for the Acquisition of a Fire Training Tower; Approve Corresponding Budget Amendments; and Approve the Purchase of the Fire Training Tower Recommended by the Mendocino County Fire Chief's Association.

DEPARTMENT: Fire PREPARED BY: Justin Buckingham, Battalion Chief PRESENTER: Justin Buckingham, Battalion Chief
ATTACHMENTS:

1. FTS Quote Ukiah Valley Fire, Ukiah CA, Modified Bullhead System (1) Summary: The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors approved the use of one-time PG&E settlement money in the amount of $1,000,000 to purchase Fire Training Towers for local fire agencies. One of the towers is assigned to the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority. Due to purchasing restrictions within the county, the money to purchase the training tower will be given to the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority to purchase the tower directly. This requires the Council to approve the receipt of the funds, approve a corresponding budget amendment, and approve the purchase of the Fire Training Facility recommended by the Mendocino County Fire Chief's Association .

Background: In 2017, the County of Mendocino was impacted by a devastating fire that was determined to be caused by PG&E equipment. Through a settlement that included many other counties, Mendocino County received $22,000,000.00 in one-time funds. The County of Mendocino Board of Supervisors debated how to spend the funds, with an emphasis on supporting those affected by the fire.

The Board ultimately set aside $1,000,000 of the settlement funds for the purchase of two Fire Training Towers, to be owned and maintained by two agencies within the county. The purpose of the Fire Training Towers was to support local agencies by filling a training void that has existed within the county for many years. The Ukiah Valley Fire Authority is integral in the training of many agencies throughout the county due to our size, cadre of instructors, and geographic location. With this fact in mind, it was determined that one of the facilities would be placed in Ukiah, with the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority taking ownership of the tower and maintaining it while providing training to our partner agencies.

Discussion: The number of structure fires in the United States has been steadily declining for many years and while that is a good statistic for the public, it has led to a lack of experience in firefighters nationwide. We are unfortunately in the same position with many of our team members lacking the real-world experience of suppressing many interior structural fires. This leads to inefficiencies, diminished safety due to the lack of training and experience, and an overall lack of professionalism. This has led many fire departments to purchase Fire Training Facilities that allow for live fire training in an effort to fill the chasm. In addition to this, the Insurance Services Office (ISO) bases part of their rating on whether or not an agency has a tower that meets specific requirements for things such as height and a burn room.

The Fire Authority has been searching for ways to be able to purchase a Fire Training Tower that allows for the use of live fire for many years, but due to funding constraints, we have been unsuccessful. This innovative opportunity arose and staff seized the opportunity to collaborate with the County, as well as our partner fire agencies, to advance the fire service in all of Mendocino County. This new tower is NFPA and ISO compliant

and will allow us to teach and test all the job performance requirements that firefighters are required to have.

The tower will serve our community and county for many years and assist in the training of hundreds of firefighters throughout the years.

Two vendors were solicited by the Mendocino County Fire Chief's Association to provide bids and the chosen company was over $100,000 dollars less than the other company, and very responsive to our collective needs. The cost of the tower includes all necessary engineering, installation, and training. There will be some additional funds required for site preparation that Fire Authority Staff estimate will be less than $25,000. There is a lead time of approximately 9 months once the order is placed, so those funds will not be required this fiscal year. With the savings that were realized, the County is also trying to do one or more less complex satellite towers, so those savings may not be available for the site work. As such, Fire Authority Staff have programmed money into the FY 22/23 CIP to cover any site work as well as add additional improvements, such as power.

The Department is currently evaluating City-owned locations for placing the tower, but given the 9-month lead time, the Department would like to move forward with the order (Attachment #1). Furthermore, the sole source purchase of the Fire Training unit from Fire Training Structures, LLC is based upon the evaluation of cost and needs by the Mendocino County Fire Chief's Association.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manger to negotiate and execute a contract between the County and the City to receive the PG&E Disaster Settlement Funds for the purchase of a Fire Training Tower; approve corresponding budget amendments; and approve the purchase of the Fire Training Tower recommended by the Mendocino County Fire Chief's Association.

3. GHD - Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project - Fee Proposal Summary: The City Council will consider awarding a professional services agreement to GHD in the amount of $239,393 to prepare the plans, specifications, and estimate for the Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project, and approve a corresponding budget amendment.

Background: This project is for the design of the rehabilitation of Talmage Road from Airport Park Blvd. to State Street. Design for this project will include the anticipated paving overlay of the roadway where appropriate on a highly traveled route in disrepair. To improve pedestrian travel along this roadway, as well as provide better access to the Great Redwood Trail, City staff is seeking the design of missing sections of sidewalk on both the north and south side of Talmage Road which will likely require the widening of the existing crossing over Doolin Creek as well as placement of a new pedestrian bridge over the creek near the west end of this project. Design will also include construction of all necessary pedestrian ADA curb ramps within the scope of this project.

Discussion: The City issued a request for proposals (Attachment 1) and sent it to local firms. In addition, staff posted the RFP on the City's website through eBidboard on December 16, 2021. In response to the City's RFP, two consulting firms submitted a proposal including GHD Inc. and BKF Engineers. The selection committee consisting of City staff reviewed the proposals and selected GHD as the recommended consultant to design this project. GHD's billing rates are consistent with industry standards and their proposal best fits with the request and scope of this project. GHD's proposal (Attachment 2) and the cost proposal (Attachment 3) are included with this report for reference.

GHD's cost for the proposed work is $239,393. Staff recommends award of a professional services agreement to GHD in the amount of $239,393. A subsequent budget amendment is also requested. The funding source for this project will be the Series 2022 Lease Revenue Bonds.

Throughout the design process for this project, the Complete Streets Ad Hoc (Rodin, Crane) will continue to be engaged.

Recommended Action: Award professional services agreement to GHD Engineers, Inc. in the amount of $239,393 to prepare the plans, specifications, and estimate for the Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project, and approve corresponding budget amendments.

RE: Proposal for Professional Engineering Services: Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project Additional Right-of-Way Confirmation
Dear Andrew
GHD is pleased to provide this proposal for professional survey service for additional Right-of-way (ROW) confirmation as part of the Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project. This additional survey work will establish the City ROW and adjacent parcel boundaries along the project corridor.

Background
GHD is currently under contract with the City to provide design services for the Talmage Road Rehabilitation project. This project includes the resurfacing of approximately 1700 feet of roadway between State Street and Airport Park Boulevard. The project also includes the addition of sidewalk and pedestrian paths to complete gaps in the existing corridor. The original scope of work includes topographic survey only.

Scope of Work
At the request of the City, GHD will perform ROW survey services to establish the limits of the public ROW and adjacent parcel boundaries. This will be beneficial to confirm that any proposed improvements are located within public ROW and identify any potential areas where ROW acquisition may be needed. This work will include review of existing documents as well as field work.

General Assumptions/Exclusions
This proposal is based on the following assumptions:

1. Meetings are not required, but can be provided on an additional time-and-materials basis.

2. ROW acquisition will not be required for the road design.

3. Additional preliminary title reports will not be required. This can be provided if necessary for an additional fee.

EXHIBIT 1

12571020 | RE: Proposal for Professional Engineering Services: Talmage Road Rehabilitation Project Additional Right-of-Way Confirmation 2 Schedule
We anticipate completing this additional survey work within three weeks of approval from the City.

Deliverable
Our deliverable for this task will be the addition of the ROW linework to the digital survey base file in Autocad Civil3D dwg format as well as a pdf of the survey control drawing in dwg and pdf format.

Fee Proposal
Our understanding is that the contract mechanism will be through an amendment to the existing Professional Service Agreement with the City for the road rehabilitation project. GHD proposes to complete this additional scope for the time-and-materials fee not to exceed $14,000 without the prior written authorization of the City. Services not included in this proposal can be provided by a negotiated fee at current rates.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approval of Purchase of a Suspended Air Floatation System in the Amount of $298,920 plus tax and shipping from Heron Innovators, as Approved in the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Capital Budget, and Approval of Corresponding Budget Amendment Using Wastewater Reserve Funds.

DEPARTMENT: Public Works PREPARED BY: Seth Strader, Administrative Analyst PRESENTER: Sean White, Director of Water & Sewer

1. Heron Proposal
Summary: Council will consider approving the purchase of a Suspended Air Flotation System from Heron Innovators in the amount of $298,920, as approved in the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Capital Budget, and possible approval of a corresponding budget amendment using Wastewater Reserve Funds.

Background: In preparation for the 21/22 Fiscal Year budget, Staff prepared and presented, which was subsequently approved and adopted in the budget, a proposal for the replacement of a dissolved air flotation (DAF) system, housed at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Discussion: The DAF is a critical piece of infrastructure at the WWTP. The DAF thickens biosolids before entering the digesters thru the injection of pressurized air. In the summer of 2021 the pressure vessel for the DAF began to fail from internal corrosion.

Water Resources Staff compared the cost of a direct replacement to other alternatives. After comparing costs, and several site visits at similar facilities utilizing alternative technologies, Staff is recommending replacing the DAF with a Suspended Air Flotation (SAF) system.

The SAF uses a proprietary frothing agent developed at UC Davis instead of air. This will allow the plant to no longer need three air compressors as well as three 40 horsepower motors. This will greatly reduce maintenance and energy costs. In addition the SAF is significantly more effective at thickening.

Provided as Attachment 1 is the proposal from Heron Innovators. It is Staff’s recommendation for Council to approve the purchase of a SAF System from Heron Innovators in the amount of $298,920.00 and approve a budget amendment in the amount of $48,920.00 using Wastewater Reserve Funds. The sole source purchase is recommended based upon the unique and specialized operational needs specific of the City's facility and the Department's evaluation of the SAF System from Heron Innovators as compared to other alternatives.

Recommended Action: Approve the purchase of a SAF System from Heron Innovators in the amount of $298,920 plus tax and shipping, as approved in the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Capital Budget, and approve corresponding budget amendment using Wastewater Reserve Funds.

Heron Innovators, Inc. Ukiah/West Yost – Proposal 2190r3-22

II. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SAF®
Benefits of the SAF® Process
The process of using SAF® to bind a particle is particularly effective due to a combination of surface tension and charge (by use of a selected cationic/anionic surfactant) so that it has an affinity for the particle. This allows for a significantly higher percentage of the available air to be used for aiding flotation when compared to other traditional approaches, such as Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) or Induced Air Flotation (IAF).

The SAF® Generator uses a surfactant tailored to the prescribed chemical regiment to create a froth that is approximately 40% air by volume. Surfactant is fed at a concentration of .15 – 1ppm depending on the waste stream. Essentially all the surfactant is skimmed away in the flotation cell. Increased rise rates and robustness of the float result in a more effective removal process that has a significantly smaller footprint than competing technologies. In addition, the bubble is manufactured independent of the process stream, which renders it almost impervious to the effects of process stream temperature.

Downstream dewatering and SAF®
The robustness of the SAF® float provides skimmed solids that have been largely dewatered through drainage. For this reason, downstream dewatering equipment may become more effective or even unnecessary. Solids removed from the float using the SAF® System contain significantly less water than that from competing technologies

2. Ukiah Valley Fire District $143128.95 21-22 EO BOS 21-223 Summary: Council will consider accepting $143,128.95 from the County of Mendocino from one time PG&E Disaster Settlement funds to reimburse the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority for the purchase of Emergency Medical transport equipment, and receive a report on those purchases.

Background: The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors (BOS) opted to disburse funds from their settlement with PG&E for the 2017 fires to various community groups.

Discussion: As part of the Coastal Valleys EMS request for funding from the BOS, all of the transport agencies in the county were asked to submit any equipment needed to enhance or improve their EMS transport services for funding.

UVFA staff identified items that were necessary to provide and enhance the provision of Pre-Hospital Emergency Medical Services in our area, and were subsequently awarded $143,128.95. Originally, Fire Authority staff were informed that the County would pay invoices presented directly so that there would be no expenditure of Fire Authority funds. Subsequent to that understanding, the items were quoted and ordered (See Attachment 1). When the first invoice was presented for payment, it was discovered that the County could only reimburse the Fire Authority, necessitating Fire Authority staff to bring it to Council for approval and report on the purchases per Council guidelines.

Recommended Action: Accept $143,128.95 from the County of Mendocino in one time Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) Disaster Settlement funds to reimburse the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority for the purchase of Emergency Medical transport equipment and receive a report on those purchases; Authorize the City Manager to execute corresponding agreement the the County of Mendocino; and approval of corresponding budget amendments.

Summary of Request:

On August 17, 2021, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors (BOS) approved a Prioritized Spend related to projects for strategically investing one-time Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) disaster settlement funds, and authorized the Assistant Chief Executive Officer to prepare and bring forward the necessary contracts for distribution of funds to non-county agencies. The proposed contract with Ukiah Valley Fire District in the amount of $143,128.95 is among the contracts recommended by the County’s Local Emergency Medical Services Agency, Coastal Valleys Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Agency, and approved by the BOS on the Prioritized Spend.

Ukiah Valley Fire District is one of twenty-four organizations within Mendocino County to receive PG&E funds to support its provision of Emergency Medical Services (EMS).

1. Ukiah Valley Fire Authority, $90,909.10, EO PGE, 22-23, BOS 22-088 Summary: Council will consider accepting $90,909.10 from the County of Mendocino's one-time PG&E Disaster Settlement funds for the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority.

Background: The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors (BOS) set aside $1,000,000 from their PG&E Disaster Settlement funds for equal distribution amongst all of the fire agencies within Mendocino County.

Discussion: As part of that distribution, the City of Ukiah and the Ukiah Valley Fire District were awarded matching amounts of $45,454.55 for a total grant of $90,909.10 to the Fire Authority. UVFA staff identified critical safety needs that had previously either been only partially funded, or had not yet been funded. Of the awarded amount, approximately $40,000 will go towards the UVFA's radio upgrades and replacements, while the remaining $50,000 will be used to purchase Active Shooter/Hostile Event (ASHE) safety and response gear.

Recommended Action: Accept $90,909.10 from the County of Mendocino's one-time Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) Disaster Settlement funds for the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority; Authorize the City Manager to execute corresponding agreement with the County of Mendocino; and approval of corresponding budget amendments.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Request for Authorization of a New Contract with Redwood Empire Officials Association for Sports Officiating.

DEPARTMENT: Community Services PREPARED BY: Jake Burgess, Community Services Supervisor PRESENTER: Jake Burgess, Recreation Supervisor
ATTACHMENTS:

1. REOA 2022 Contract
Summary: The Community Services Department is requesting authorization to execute a new contract with the Redwood Empire Officials Association for sports officiating.

Background: The Recreation Division manages officiating service contracts for a variety of sports leagues. Redwood Empire Officials Association (REOA) has provided officiating services for the adult softball and adult basketball leagues since 2009. REOA is the only local provider for this service and a contract with an out-of-the area group would result in increased costs to the programs. The new contract provides for up to five one-year extensions upon mutual agreement of both the City and REOA (Attachment 1).

Discussion: Staff is recommending approval of the contract with REOA, thereby securing their services for the 2022 sports league season. Staff is also requesting authorization to enter into up to five one-year extensions upon mutual agreement of both parties. This contract expense is budgeted in the Adult Softball and Adult Basketball Contractual Services accounts. These costs are offset by program revenues from team sponsor payments and individual player fees.

Recommended Action: Authorize new contract with Redwood Empire Officials Association for sports officiating, and authorize future contract extensions.

BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: No

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Consideration to Award Contract for the Gobbi Street Underground Communications Rework Project, Specification Number 22-03, to Diamond D Construction, in the Amount of $116,649.00, and Approve Budget Amendment in the Amount of $50,000.

1. Bid Results - Spec 22-03 - Gobbi Street Underground Communications Rework

2. Bid - Diamond D
Summary: The City Council will consider a Staff request to award a contract for the Gobbi Street Underground Communications Rework Project, Specification No. 22-03, and approve a budget amendment in the amount of $50,000.

Background: In 1967, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) established Electric Tariff Rule 20 in response to local government interest in improving the aesthetics of their communities. The Tariff outlines responsibilities and guidelines to provide an equitable distribution of the project costs to all utilities involved. Additionally, it outlines responsibilities and defines the roles of each utility. The City of Ukiah Electric Utility acts as the Lead Agency for joint trench projects within the city. Responsibilities of the Lead Agency include: incorporating other utilities' design into the project, bidding and awarding the contract, providing oversight as the project is constructed, and delineation of the costs to each project participant. These projects can be very complicated, applying several different utilities' specifications into the design and construction. Historically, other utilities, such as AT&T, have provided inspection services to ensure all their requirements are met; however, due to staffing changes and limitations, this support was eliminated and the burden of inspection fell to City Staff.

In November 2020, the Gobbi Street Underground joint trench project was completed. The project installed underground infrastructure for electric, telephone and cable TV on Gobbi Street between State Street and Orchard Avenue. Shortly after the completion of the project, Staff redirected its attention to the State Street Undergrounding project. Due to the back-to-back scheduling of these projects, the installation of the wire and equipment to complete Gobbi Street was delayed. When AT&T began the installation of their wire in March, they discovered a few locations where their specifications were not met.

Staff met with AT&T to identify what the issues were and how to resolve them. It was agreed that there was a shared responsibility for the corrections on the Gobbi project. To avoid issues in the future, AT&T has agreed to provide a more detailed design incorporating their standards into the drawings, complete a thorough review of the final drawings prior to signing off on the design, and to be available to perform inspections on their infrastructure. Because completion of the project was more than a year ago and the City, as the Lead Agency, signed off on the completion of the project, the original contractor was not obligated to return to complete the repairs. AT&T agreed to provide the material for the repairs on Gobbi Street and the City agreed to complete the construction. AT&T will also be available to complete any inspections.

Discussion: On April 8, 2022, the City distributed the plans and specifications to the required bidders' exchanges, publicly advertised the project in the Ukiah Daily Journal, sent copies of the Notice to Bidders to

all licensed class A contractors on the City's 2022 Qualified Contractors List, and posted them to the City's website.

Staff conducted a mandatory pre-bid meeting with potential contractors to outline the specifics of the project and answer any questions. Sealed proposals were received and opened by the City Clerk on April 28, 2022. Bids were received from 2 contractors (see Attachment 1 for a copy of the bid tabulation).

After reviewing the bid responses, it is Staff's recommendation to award the bid to Diamond D Construction, for the lump sum amount of $116,649.00. A copy of their bid is provided as Attachment 2. If the contract is awarded, construction is scheduled to be completed in June.

Recommended Action: Award contract for the Gobbi Street Underground Communications Rework Project, Specification Number 22-03, to Diamond D Construction, in the amount of $116.649.00, and approve budget amendment in the amount of $50,000.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Discussion and Possible Action to Adopt Resolution Waiving 60-Day Notice Requirement Under Government Code Section 25351 Notifying the City of its Intent to Lease Real Property in the City LImits at 1101 South Dora Street.

1. Resolution - 60-day Waiver
Summary: City Council will consider adopting a resolution waiving the 60-day notice from County of Mendocino required by Government Code Section 25351 of its intent to lease real property in the city limits.

Background: The County notified the City several months ago that they were seeking a suitable location for Probation – GEO Reentry Services (Day Reporting Center) and Social Services – Family and Children’s Services (Ukiah Family Resource Center), though one had not yet been selected. The Government Code requires the County to give the City 60 days advance notice when it leases real property in the city limits.

Discussion: The notification required by Government Code section 25351 must occur at least 60 days prior to use and occupancy of the county building, unless the City Council waives the notification requirement by resolution. The Executive Office of Mendocino County has requested a waiver of the 60-day notification requirement to lease property at 1101 S. Dora Street, Ukiah, for use by Probation – GEO Reentry Services (Day Reporting Center) and Social Services – Family and Children’s Services (Ukiah Family Resource Center).

Granting the waiver by adopting this Resolution (Attachment 1) will enable the Probation and Social Services departments to begin occupying this location by approximately July 1, 2022. In the absence of such waiver, the County is at risk of losing the office to another prospective tenant.

Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution waiving 60-day notice from County of Mendocino, required by Government Code Section 25351, of its intent to lease real property in the city limits at 1101 S. Dora Street, Ukiah, for use by Probation – GEO Reentry Services (Day Reporting Center) and Social Services – Family and Children’s Services (Ukiah Family Resource Center).

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approval of a Budget Amendment to Advance 2022-23 CIP Funds to be Used Immediately to 1) Allow Contracting with Comfort Air/Heating Cooling this Fiscal Year in the Amount of $19,500 to Replace the Heating and Cooling System in the Grace Hudson Sunhouse, and 2) Provide Approximately $4000 to Install an Upgraded Electrical Panel to Support the New System.

Summary: Council will consider approval of a budget amendment to advance 2022-23 CIP funds to be used immediately to 1) allow contracting with Comfort Air/Heating Cooling this fiscal year in the amount of $19,500 to replace the heating and cooling system in the Grace Hudson Sunhouse, and 2) provide approximately $4000 to install an upgraded electrical panel to support the new system.

Background: The historic Grace Hudson Sun House is located at Carpenter Park and serves as an interpretive arm of the Grace Hudson Museum. The Sun House, a 1911 redwood Craftsman bungalow home, is situated immediately in front of the Museum and is available for tours. Grace and John Hudson, its owners, together with architect George Wilcox, set out to build a functional, custom Craftsman-style home scaled to the Hudsons’ needs. Fairly modest in size, it nonetheless accommodated Grace’s prodigious artistic output and John’s sizeable ethnographic collections. Keeping in mind the Arts and Crafts goal of uniting designer and craftsperson, the Hudsons actively collaborated with Wilcox on the design of the house, while adding their own creative touches. These include the pink tulips that Grace stenciled on the bedroom walls, the distinctive hat rack built by John Hudson in the entryway, and the unusual pendant lighting fixtures throughout the home. As was often the case in Craftsman dwellings, the architect became the furniture maker as well, when Wilcox designed and built the beautiful sideboard in the dining room that he presented to the Hudsons as a housewarming present. It is believed they moved into the Sun House around New Year’s Day, 1912.

Docent-led tours of the Sunhouse provide an integral part of the Grace Hudson Museum experience.

Discussion: The heating and cooling system in the Sunhouse is over forty years old and is located in the basement of the facility. It has been failing for years and now has reached a point where it is no longer serviceable and is nonfunctioning. Temperature control is critically important for the preservation of the historic building and its interpretive contents. Many artifacts and historic pieces have been removed from the Sunhouse and placed in protective temperature-controlled storage. Although docent led tours have continued, the reduced collection and lack of temperature control renders the experience less desirable and poses risk of facility and collection deterioration.

Options for heating and cooling systems are limited to those whose presence is aesthetically consistent with the historic and interpretive role of the facility. A wide variety of options were considered to ensure the new system is safe, effective, and maintains the historic integrity.

Following approved bidding and purchasing processes, Staff received a bid of $19,500 from Comfort Air/Heating Cooling to install a Bryant 95% Furnace, a Bryant 4 Ton Coil, a Bryant 14 SEER Condenser, and

thermostat. Please refer to Attachment 1 for a copy of the quote received.

Temperature control for the Sunhouse at Grace Hudson Museum was placed in the CIP budget for fiscal year 2022-23. The demands of the new system require an upgrade to the electric box that services the Sunhouse.

The combined cost of these two maintenance and safety upgrades is substantially less than the $45,000 placed in the coming year’s CIP budget. Due to the urgency of providing temperature control to protect the building and its contents, Staff is requesting a transfer of $23,500 from this coming year’s budget to cover this immediate need.

Recommended Action: Approve a budget amendment to advance 2022-23 CIP funds to be used immediately to 1) allow contracting with Comfort Air/Heating Cooling this fiscal year in the amount of $19,500 to replace the heating and cooling system in the Grace Hudson Sunhouse, and 2) provide approximately $4000 to install an upgraded electrical panel to support the new system.

7. Supplemental Market Analysis Info. Provided by the Applicant Summary: City Council will consider 1) Adoption of an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration; and 2) authorization to issue a Demolition Permit for two structures located at 101 and 105 South Main Street, as recommended by the Demolition Review Committee. Both structures are over the age of 50 years old, and therefore, according to Ukiah City Code, the City Council must hold a public hearing to review and consider the historical and architectural significance of the structures before authorizing the Building Official to issue the Demolition Permit.

Background: The ±0.48-acre Project site (APN 002-231-01) is located at the corner of Perkins Street and South Main Street in downtown Ukiah. The parcel is developed with a parking lot and two buildings with separate street addresses: one ±3,328 sf building at 101 South Main Street; and one ±2,880 sf building at 105 South Main Street. A brief history of the buildings is provided below. 101 South Main Street. The existing building was originally constructed in 1921 as a hay barn. The building was constructed to replace the previous hay barn that was destroyed in the 1917 fire that began at a restaurant (currently occupied by a law firm at 116 South State Street, just south of the Ukiah Brewing Company) two blocks west of the site. The existing building was modified significantly between 1938 and 1963 when it was converted for use as a commercial retail establishment. Modifications made to the building during this time included replacing two open bays with windows, replacing the front doors, replacing and reconfiguring the awning, and installing an additional window. The false brick front that defines the building was also modified in 1938. The building currently houses the Dragon’s Lair retail business.

The building is listed on the City of Ukiah’s 1985 ‘Historic Resources Survey” (prepared by Historic Environment Consultants) as well as in the updated 1999 “City of Ukiah Architectural Survey” (prepared by P.S. Preservation Services). These documents (herein referred to as the City’s “local historic inventories”) identify the 101 South Main Street building as being listed on the State Register, and eligible for the National Register of Historic Places based on its architecture and "prominent" location. However, as described in detail

throughout the Initial Study, after conducting extensive research on the matter, it has been clarified that this is incorrect. According to the State Historic Preservation Office’s (SHPO’s) most recent classification system and database of historic buildings, also known as the “Built Environment Resource Directory” (updated March 2020), the building status code is “5S2”, meaning that the local government has identified it as individually eligible for local listing. As such, the building is not listed on the State of California’s inventory of historic resources or National Register of Historic Places. In 2020, a prospective buyer of the property hired a consultant (APD Preservation, LLC) to prepare Historic Resources Evaluation to evaluate the building’s significance under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Evaluation was later updated in 2022 for this Demolition Permit application after it was discovered that the State had updated their database of historic resources and the listing of the building was clarified. See Discussion Section of this Staff Report for more information.
105 South Main Street. According to the Mendocino County Assessor’s records, the building that houses Tom’s Glass repair shop is a warehouse that dates back to 1947. The building is a rectangular, approximately 2,880 sf one-story building located on the south side of the parcel and comprised of silver corrugated metal.

This building is not included in either of the city’s local historic inventories, nor is it listed in the State of California’s inventory of historic resources or National Register of Historic Places.

On October 28, 2021, an application for a Demolition Permit to demolish both structures was submitted by the property owner. Application materials, including a location map and photos of the existing buildings, are included in Attachment 1. Demolition of the buildings is expected to take approximately three weeks during daylight hours, Monday through Friday. Although the property owner notes that he believes another commercial building/use is the best use of the site, no development is proposed at this time. A detailed Project Description is included within the ISMND, which is included in Attachment 2 and further discussed in the Discussion Section below.

On December 28, 2021, the City’s DRC reviewed the Demolition Permit, in accordance with Ukiah City Code Section 3016, which states that buildings more than 50 years old that are proposed for demolition that do not meet the exemption criteria of being either an immediate safety hazard, or an accessory building that is not listed on the local historic inventory, shall be reviewed by the DRC for their historical and architectural significance. Specifically, the following three criteria regarding the structure proposed for demolition shall be reviewed and the DRC shall make a recommendation to the Ukiah City Council (UCC 3016(e)):
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.

The DRC found that the buildings did not meet any of the aforementioned criteria and recommended that the City Council authorize issuance of the Demolition Permit for 101 South Main Street (2-1 vote; one member absent) and 105 South Main Street (3-0 vote; one member absent). Minutes of the December 28, 2021, DRC meeting are included as Attachment 3. The meeting recording, Staff Report and associated documents, including department and agency referral comments, the Historic Evaluation prepared for the 101 South Main Street building (2020), and public comments received for the meeting can be found online at:
https://ukiahca.civicclerk.com/Web/Player.aspx?id=1323&key=-1&mod=-1&mk=-1&nov=0 , or can be accessed through the City’s meetings webpage at: http://www.cityofukiah.com/meetings/.

Discussion: The UCC places the authority for adoption of the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISMND), as well as authorization to the Building Official to proceed with the issuance of the Demolition Permit, with the City Council. Typically, standard construction activities requiring Building Permits (including Demolition Permits) are considered ministerial actions and do not require additional environmental analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). However, because UCC Section 3016 requires discretionary review of Demolition Permits for buildings over 50 years old and the 101 South Main Street building was listed on the city’s local historic inventories, the Project was determined to require additional CEQA review. As such, regardless of the DRC’s recommendation for the City Council to authorize issuance of

the Demolition Permit based on their determination that the buildings do not meet the historic significance criteria listed in UCC 3016(e), additional environmental review was conducted. In accordance with CEQA, the Planning Division of the City of Ukiah Community Development Department prepared an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISMND) for the Project. The Draft ISMND (State Clearinghouse No. 2022030389) was circulated for public review from March 14, 2022, through April 15, 2022. No public comments were received on the ISMND during the public review period. The Draft ISMND and noticing documents can be found online at: http://www.cityofukiah.com/ceqa-review/.

As described throughout the ISMND (Attachment 2), 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; the Project would have no impact on Agriculture and Forestry Resources, Hydrology and Water Quality, and Population and Housing. However, the Project would have a potential impact to Air Quality, and Cultural/Tribal Cultural Resources if not properly mitigated.

Specifically, activities associated with demolition over the three-week construction period could result in temporary 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.

Regarding Cultural (historic) Resources, the building located at 105 South Main Street is not located on a local, state, or federal historic register. Therefore, no impact to historic resources per CEQA would occur as a result of its demolition. However, as noted above, the building at 101 South Main Street is listed on the city’s local historic inventories warranting additional analysis of its historic significance. A Historic Resource Evaluation was prepared by APD Preservation, LLC (updated January, 2022; Attachment A of the ISMND in Attachment 2 of this Staff Report) to further research and evaluate the building’s historic significance and the Project’s impacts to historic resources under CEQA. In summary, the evaluation (2022) notes that although the building has some character-defining architectural features (such as the false brick front, metal clad siding, and “clipped” corner entrance), the building’s architecture is not historically unique or significant. It also notes that the building “appears” to be significant for its association with post fire development after the 1917 fire and how the block functioned as a service hub for agricultural commerce in the region. The Draft ISMND incorporates information from the evaluation (specifically in Section V.5, Cultural Resources) and concludes that based on substantial evidence, including its listing in the city’s local historic inventories, the building at 101 South Main Street qualifies as a historic resource under CEQA. The Draft ISMND proposes Mitigation Measure CUL-1, requiring photo documentation of the building to catalogue its existence and Mitigation Measure CUL-2, requiring 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, the Draft ISMND found that these mitigation measures are considered adequate for reducing impacts to less than significant levels. As such, impacts to Cultural (historic) Resources were found to be less than significant with implementation of mitigation.

However, to ensure a comprehensive evaluation prior to the review of the City Council, Staff conducted additional specific research into UCC Section 3016 and the city’s local inventory. Through this research, Staff found that the local inventories were never adopted by the City. Public Resource Code 5020.1(k) specifically defines “local register of historical resources” as a list of properties officially designated or recognized as historically significant by a local government pursuant to a local ordinance or resolution. Because the city’s local historic inventories were never adopted by ordinance or resolution, the 101 South Main Street building does not meet the criteria listed in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1(k) to qualify as a significant historic resource under CEQA. To be sure, Staff consulted with the City Attorney regarding this determination, and the City Attorney affirmed this information per a verbal conversation on April 12, 2022 . However, the Community Development Department recognizes the importance of the City’s inventory as it relates to local history, and has a precedent of processing Demolition Permits for buildings listed on the inventory featuring local historic significance. As such, Staff finds the analysis in the Draft ISMND and proposed mitigation measures necessary and adequate for reducing potential impacts to historic resources under CEQA. Staff also found that when UCC Section 3016 was adopted (Ordinance 1014; 1998) it was intended to be an interim measure

to protect historic buildings in the City until the City updates the local historic inventory and develops a historic preservation policy in place of UCC Section 3016. However, these actions have not been completed to date.

This information has been clarified in the Final Draft ISMND (Attachment 2), but no other changes have been made since publication of the Draft ISMND.

Per UCC Section 3016(g), Council shall conduct a public hearing to consider the recommendation of the DRC, and to determine if any of the criteria listed in subsection (e) apply to the buildings proposed for demolition. If the City Council determines that any one of the criteria applies, it shall make a corresponding finding to that effect. If the Council finds that the buildings do not meet the three criteria to establish the buildings as historic, the Council should make a finding to that effect, allowing the Demolition Permit to be issued by the Building Official. However, if the Council finds that any of the criteria in the aforementioned section is met, Council shall make a finding to that effect and also consider market analysis information provided by the applicant to determine if a market exists to pursue other options for acquiring or salvaging the building, while issuance of the Demolition Permit is stayed for 90 days. See UCC Section 3016(g) for more information:
https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Ukiah/#!/html/Ukiah03/Ukiah0301-0300.html.

Staff considered the DRC’s determination that the buildings do not qualify for the criteria listed in 3016(e) and their recommendation to issue the Demolition Permit, together with the analysis in the ISMND, as well as the information found during the additional research conducted, and agrees that the buildings do not meet the criteria in 3016(e) for the following reasons. Because the 105 South Main Street building is not listed on the city’s local historic inventories, and was unanimously determined by the DRC to not meet this criteria, the analysis below is specific to the 101 South Main Street building. • Although the building is comprised of a particular type of metal that may no longer be common, construction of metal buildings is not uncommon today, and there are several other buildings with metal siding within the city that have a similar appearance. Similarly, the false brick front of the building may be uncommon; however, the downtown area contains several buildings that are comprised of masonry brick.

Lastly, it is noted throughout the Historic Evaluation that with all things considered, the “dilapidated”, “utilitarian” building is not considered historically significant for its architecture. • The building has not been used for agricultural-related uses since 1961, and the building has been significantly altered as it was converted to retail. The building alone does not tell the story of historic agricultural practices and historic changes in land use patterns in and around Ukiah. • Whereas the CEQA criteria that was analyzed within the Historic Evaluation and ISMND use the term “is associated”, the UCC criterion being analyzed uses the term “strongly identified”. As previously noted, the 1917 fire began two blocks west of the building and destroyed several buildings that were rebuilt over the next decade. The building is one of many buildings that was rebuilt over the decade following the fire. The city’s local historic inventories mention the 1917 fire, but do not identify the building as being historically significant for this specific reason. The building has an association with the 1917 fire, but this does not exclusively qualify the building as being “strongly identified” with a significant local event.

For the reasons discussed above, Staff finds that the buildings do not meet the criteria for historic or architectural significance outlined in UCC Section 3016. Based on Staff’s analysis, and the DRC’s finding that the two buildings do not meet the criteria, and their recommendation to authorize issuance of the Demolition Permit, in addition to the CEQA analysis provided in the ISMND, and additional research regarding UCC Section 3016 outlined above, Staff recommends the City Council adopt the ISMND and authorize issuance of the Demolition Permit for the two structures located at 101 and 105 South Main Street. Findings to adopt the ISMND and authorize the issuance of the Demolition Permit are included in Attachment 4 and the Draft Resolution to Adopt the ISMND is included in Attachment 5. Public correspondence received for this public hearing as of April 26, 2022, is included in Attachment 6. However, in the event Council determines either of the buildings to be historic per UCC Section 3016, supplemental market analysis has been provided by the applicant as Attachment 7 for consideration. If the Council determines that the buildings do not meet the criteria listed in UCC Section 3016(b), Council need not consider this supplemental information.

Recommended Action: 1) Adopt the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration; and 2) Authorize issuance of the Demolition Permit for two structures over 50 years old, located at 101 and 105 South Main Street, based on the Findings included with the Staff Report as Attachment 1.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1. Project Location
The ±0.48-acre Project site (APN 002-231-01) is located on the corner of Perkins Street and South Main Street in downtown Ukiah, approximately 0.5-mile west of U.S. Highway 101. Both Main Street and Perkins Street are developed with a mixture of commercial, residential and public uses. The parcel is developed with a parking lot and two buildings with separate street addresses: one ±3,328 sf building that has been occupied by the Dragon’s Lair retail business (101 South Main Street); and one ±2,880 sf building that has been occupied by Tom’s Glass repair service (105 South Main Street).

Figure 1 below provides a location map, Figure 2 provides an aerial image of the Project site, and Figures 3 and 4 depict the two existing buildings.

2. Environmental Setting and Background
The Project site is situated within the City of Ukiah, within the Ukiah Valley in central Mendocino County. The Ukiah Valley is located approximately 30 miles east and inland from the Pacific Ocean as the crow flies. The Ukiah Valley runs north-south for approximately nine miles, with a maximum width of three miles, and elevations varying from approximately 600-feet above mean sea level to approximately 3,000 feet in the hills surrounding the City. Vegetation communities in the Ukiah Valley include mixed oak, chaparral, and manzanita, with some sparse redwood groves. The Russian River enters the valley at the north end and runs south along the valley floor. This area is characterized by a Mediterranean climate; the winters are cool and wet, and the summers are hot and dry. Annual average temperatures for this region range from about 30 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Ukiah is located along the Highway 101 corridor and near the east/west intersection of Highway 20, two hours north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Incorporated in 1876, Ukiah is the county seat and largest city in Mendocino County.

As noted above, the Project site is developed with two existing buildings and a paved parking lot. The parcel is accessed via a driveway from South Main Street, as well as a driveway located along Perkins Street. Additionally, there is a shared driveway that shares access with the adjacent parcel immediately to the east (225 East Perkins Street) that is currently occupied by Romi’s Brew and BBQ (see Figures 2 through 4). For several decades, buildings on the parcel have been used for

6 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
commercial uses. Vegetation on the site is limited to the following: two California juniper shrubs, one Chinese pistache tree located against the 101101 South Main Street building (east side); blackberry bushes against the 105105 South Main Street building (east side) and four Valley oak trees approximately 14 to 60 ft away from the building. Additionally, large oak trees line the east side of the parcel but are located within the adjacent parcel (see Figure 3). 101 South Main Street (Dragon’s Lair building). The Dragon’s Lair building is located at the southeast corner of the parcel at the intersection of Perkins Street and South Main Street, fronting on both streets. The building consists of one story with a roughly rectangular footprint, and “chamfered” or “clipped” flat northwest corner to accommodate the primary entrance. It is comprised of red and peach colored pressed tin siding on west and north elevations and corrugated metal siding on the east and south elevations (see Figures 2-4). The existing approximately 3,328 sf building originally dates from 1921 and was included in the City of Ukiah’s 1985 ‘Historic Resources Survey” (prepared by Historic Environment Consultants) and updated in 1999 by the “City of Ukiah Architectural Survey” (prepared by P.S. Preservation Services). According to the 1985 survey, the building was assigned a “5” status code, which includes buildings that are ineligible for the national register, but are identified as having historic importance at the local level. Specifically, the 1985 survey notes that the building is representative of a type of commercial structure common to its era that is a “rather rare survivor of the type in Ukiah, and is located prominently. Its surfacing materials and form create a rather strong image of past lifestyles.” The 1999 survey was completed as an update to the 1985 survey, and reviewed each property’s eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. The 1999 survey notes that the building is vernacular commercial style and originally constructed in 1921 as a hay barn and feed store. The survey notes that the pressed metal clad building is “an excellent example of its type and the only one left in Ukiah”, and was therefore assigned a “3S” status code, which is defined as appearing to be eligible for the National Register as an individual property through survey information.

However, the 1999 survey does not provide additional information regarding the change in status from the 1985 survey.

Although the 1999 survey identifies the building as eligible for the National Register, this does not accurately depict the building’s status. In order for a building to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a building must first be listed on the State Register. In order to be listed on the State Register the survey form completed by the local jurisdiction must be submitted to State of California’s Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO) for review. SHPO then reviews the survey forms and determines if the building is eligible for listing on the State Register. Once listed on the State Register SHPO must submit a nomination form to the National Park Service for review and consideration. Upon extensive research, it was determined that Dragon’s Lair building is not listed on either the State or Federal Registers. This is further supported by SHPO’s most recent classification system and database of historic buildings, also known as the “Built Environment Resource Directory” (updated March, 2020), which identifies the building status code as “5S2”, meaning that the local government has identified it as individually eligible for local listing. As such, the building is not listed on the State Register, nor is it identified as eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

A Historic Resource Evaluation was prepared by APD Preservation, LLC (January, 2020; revised in January, 2022) to further research and evaluate the building’s historic significance (Attachment A).

The evaluation found that the original building was constructed in 1857 was replaced once in 1890 with a new hay barn but was destroyed during the 1917 fire that began at a restaurant (currently occupied by a law firm at 116 South State Street, just south of the Ukiah Brewing Company) two blocks west of the building. A new building was constructed in 1921 but was significantly modified between 1938 and 1963 when it was converted to retail. Modifications made to the building during this time included replacing 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

7 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
modified in 1938, but retains its basic early twentieth century appearance. During this time, the building was occupied by several feed stores, a cheese and wine store, and office/retail space. The existing Dragon’s Lair retail business has been within the building since 1995. The evaluation (2022) notes that although it has some character-defining architectural features, the building’s architecture is not historically significant. It also notes that the building is considered most significant for its association with post fire development after the 1917 fire and how the block functioned as a service hub for agricultural commerce in the region. The evaluation states, “The building appears to be significant for its association with the post-fire redevelopment of Ukiah. 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 dilapidated utilitarian building does not appear to be significant for its architectural merit.” See Section V.5, Cultural Resources, for more information. 105 South Main Street (Tom’s Glass building). According to the Mendocino County Assessor’s records, the Tom’s Glass building is a warehouse that dates back to 1947. The building is a rectangular approximately 2,880 sf one-story building located on the south side of the parcel and comprised of silver corrugated metal. There is a firewall between the Tom’s Glass building and the building on the adjacent parcel located at 123 South Main Street (currently occupied by the Little Brown Bear business). However, the firewall was constructed as part of construction for 123 South Main Street (Little Brown Bear) and is not located within the boundaries of the Project site. As such, the firewall is not proposed for demolition. The Tom’s Glass building is not included in either of the City’s 1985 and 1999 historic inventories surveys, nor is it listed in the State of California’s inventory of historic resources or National Register of Historic Places. Because the building is not listed in a local, state or national register, a detailed Historic Resource Evaluation was not prepared.

Per Ukiah City Code Section 3016(b), buildings over 50 years old proposed for demolition that do not meet the exemption criteria of being either an immediate safety hazard, or an accessory building that is not listed on the local historic inventory, shall be reviewed for their historic or architectural significance. Specifically, the City’s Demolition Review Committee shall review the proposal and make a recommendation to the Ukiah City Council. Because the buildings do not meet the exemption criteria noted within the code, on December 28, 2021, the City’s Demolition Review Committee reviewed the Project and voted to recommend demolition of both buildings to the City Council. See Section V.11, Land Use and Planning, for more information. This Initial Study is intended to analyze the impacts associated with demolition of the buildings, in accordance with CEQA. The Demolition Permit, together with this Initial Study, will be reviewed by City Council for final consideration.

3. Project Components
The property owner proposes to demolish the existing buildings on-site. Standard demolition construction techniques and equipment including a mechanical ram, dump truck, pickup truck, excavator, backhoe, front end loader, bobcat & stinger for concrete demolition would be used. The existing buildings will be disassembled via mechanical means and by hand labor where necessary. Mechanical means will include large track-driven excavators with mechanical arms. Onsite concrete pads and foundations will be demolished with mechanical rams. Demolished concrete and rebar will be off-hauled and recycled at a local rock quarry. Other demolished debris will be loaded into dump trucks staged on site. 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.

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 7:00 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 (Monday through Friday) 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. No road closures are anticipated for the Project.

The existing Chinese pistache tree located on the south side of the building and the two Juniper shrubs located on the east side of the building would be removed for demolition, as they are located against the building and partially growing into the foundation. In addition, the blackberry would be removed.

None of the oak trees on-site would be removed. Dust on the site will be minimized with the use of a

III. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
Purpose of the Initial Environmental Study: This Initial Study has been prepared consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15063, to determine if the Project, as proposed, would have a significant impact upon the environment.

The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this Project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages.

Aesthetics Agriculture & Forestry Air Quality
Biological Resources Cultural Resources Energy
Geology / Soils Greenhouse Gas Emissions Hazards & Hazardous Materials
Hydrology/Water Quality Land Use / Planning Mineral Resources Noise Population / Housing Public Services
Recreation Transportation Tribal Cultural Resources
Utilities/Service Systems Wildfire Mandatory Findings of Significance
Summary of Findings: The Project site is developed with a parking lot and two buildings with separate street addresses: one ±3,328 sf building that has been occupied by the Dragon’s Lair retail business (101 South Main Street); and one ±2,880 sf building that has been occupied by Tom’s Glass repair service (105 South Main Street). Both of the buildings are more than 50 years old and are proposed for demolition; no new development is proposed. The Tom’s Glass building at 105 South Main Street is not located on a local, state or national register for historic places. However, the Dragon’s Lair building at 101 South Main Street is identified in the 1985 “Ukiah Historic Resource Survey” and the 1999 “City of Ukiah Architectural Survey” as a local historic resource, 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.” However, the building is not listed on the State Register or National Register of Historic Places.

Per Ukiah City Code Section 3016(b), buildings over 50 years old proposed for demolition that do not meet the exemption criteria of being either an immediate safety hazard, or an accessory building that is not listed on the local historic inventory, shall be reviewed for their historic or architectural significance. Specifically, the City’s Demolition Review Committee shall review the proposal and make a recommendation to the Ukiah City Council. Because the buildings do not meet the exemption criteria noted within the code, on December 28, 2021, the City’s Demolition Review Committee reviewed the Project and voted to recommend demolition of both buildings to the City Council. See Section V.11, Land Use and Planning, for more information. This Initial Study is intended to analyze the impacts associated with demolition of the buildings, in accordance with CEQA. The Demolition Permit, together with this Initial Study, will be reviewed by City Council for final consideration.

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

11 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
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 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.

The Draft ISMND was circulated for public review from March 14, 2022 through April 15, 2022. No comments were received on the ISMND during the public review period. However, to ensure a comprehensive evaluation prior to the review and consideration of the ISMND by the City Council, City Community Development Department Staff conducted specific research into UCC Section 3016 and the City’s local historic inventories (1985 and 1999). Through this research, Staff found that the local inventories were never adopted by the City. Public Resource Code 5020.1(k) specifically defines “local register of historical resources” as a list of properties officially designated or recognized as historically significant by a local government pursuant to a local ordinance or resolution. Because the City’s local historic inventories were never adopted by ordinance or resolution, the 101 South Main Street building does not meet the criteria listed in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1(k) to qualify as a significant historic resource under CEQA. The City’s Community Development staff consulted with the City Attorney regarding this determination, and the City Attorney affirmed this information per a verbal conversation on April 12, 2022. However, the City recognizes the importance of the local historic inventories as it relates to local history, and has a precedent of processing Demolition Permits for buildings listed on the inventory featuring local historic significance. As such, the Community Development Department finds the analysis and proposed mitigation measures contained within this ISMND necessary and adequate for reducing potential impacts to historic resources.

V. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The purpose of this Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) is to provide an analysis of the potential environmental consequences as a result of the proposed Project. The environmental evaluation relied on the following categories of impacts, noted as column headings in the IS checklist, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Appendix G.
“Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more “Potentially Significant Impact” entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.

Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less Than Significant Impact.”
“Less Than Significant Impact” applies where the Project would not result in a significant effect (i.e., the Project impact would be less than significant without the need to incorporate mitigation). “No Impact” applies where the Project would not result in any impact in the category or the category does not apply. This may be because the impact category does not apply to the proposed Project (for instance, the Project Site is not within a surface fault rupture hazard zone), or because of other projectspecific factors.

other regulations governing scenic quality?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare
which would adversely affect day or nighttime views
in the area?
Significance Criteria: Aesthetic impacts would be significant if the Project resulted in the obstruction of any scenic vista open to the public, damage to significant scenic resources within a designated

State scenic highway, substantial degradation to the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings from public views, or generate new sources of light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area, including that which would directly illuminate or reflect upon adjacent property or could be directly seen by motorists or persons residing, working or otherwise situated within sight of the Project.

Environmental Setting: Views of expansive hillsides, mostly within the County’s jurisdiction, surround the City. Some hillsides are densely forested with evergreen trees, while others are relatively open in comparison, dominated by mature oak trees set amid scrub and grasslands. Specific to resources within the City limits, one of the most notable scenic resources are the Western Hills, rising above the valley floor on the west side of Ukiah. Views on the Valley floor within the City of Ukiah include those typical of existing residential and commercial development and the majority of the land within the City limits is previously developed. In addition, some views of agricultural land uses within the City limits, or immediately outside of City limits, are available.

Generally speaking, scenic vistas are typically described as areas of natural beauty with features such as topography, watercourses, rock outcrops, and natural vegetation that contribute to the landscape’s quality. Noted throughout the City of Ukiah’s 1995 General Plan are views of hillsides, open space areas and agricultural areas as scenic resources within the Ukiah Valley. Water in the form of creeks, streams, and rivers is often a prominent feature in the scenic landscape as well. The General Plan generally identifies U.S. Highway 101 through the entire Ukiah Valley as a local scenic corridor, but does not identify location-specific scenic resources within the City limits. According to the California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) State Scenic Highway System Map, there are no designated state scenic highways within the vicinity of the Project. In addition, there are no highways identified as eligible for state designation. From the Project site, partial views Western Hills are available in the background to the west, while commercial and residential development within the downtown area development is visible in the foreground in all directions. Example views are shown in Figures 5 and 6 below.

Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration
City of Ukiah
Figure 6, Views Facing East
Discussion: (a and c) Less than Significant. As noted in the Project Description and shown in Figures 2-6, the Project site consists of a developed parcel with two buildings and a paved parking lot.

The Tom’s Glass building (105 South Main Street) is a rectangular one-story building located on the south side of the parcel and made of silver corrugated metal. The Dragon’s Lair building (101 South Main Street) is located at the southeast corner of the parcel and intersection of Perkins Street and South Main Street, fronting on both streets. It is a one-story building with a roughly rectangular footprint, with “chamfered” or “clipped” flat northwest corner to accommodate the primary entrance. It is comprised of red/peach colored pressed tin siding on west and north elevations and corrugated metal siding on the east and south elevations. There is a painted mural of a dragon on the north side of the building and white columns painted on the east side. As noted in the Historic Resources Evaluation (2020; Attachment A), the building has some character defining features including the false front, irregular window placement, flat entrance on the northwest corner, and a gable roof.

However, according to the Historic Resources Evaluation, “The dilapidated utilitarian building does not appear to be significant for its architectural merit.”
Demolition of the buildings could result in temporary visual impacts from temporary construction equipment on-site and piled materials temporarily waiting for transport to the landfill. However, construction is anticipated to take approximately three weeks and occur during daylight hours, between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Demolition of the buildings would not have a substantial negative effect on available views of the nearest scenic resource, the Western Hills, as no new buildings are proposed that could potentially further restrict views of this resource. Once the buildings are demolished, the site would be cleared and remain vacant until a proposal for development is submitted by a future applicant and approved through the discretionary process. All new development would be subject to the requirements contained within the Downtown Zoning Code, a form-based code with design guidelines related to aesthetics. In addition, all new development would be reviewed by the City’s Design Review Board.

For the aforementioned reasons, the Project would not result in a significant impact to scenic vistas and would not degrade the existing visual character of the site or vicinity. Impacts would be less than significant.
(c) Less than significant impact. Although the General Plan notes that U.S. Highway 101 provides scenic views throughout the Ukiah Valley, it does not provide specific information regarding these

16 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
views within the City limits. In addition, U.S. Highway 101 is approximately 0.5 mi east of the Project and does not offer clear views of the Project site, nor existing buildings due to the distance and other development in the downtown area. Although three trees located against the Dragon’s Lair building would be removed for demolition, the trees are not listed on the City’s Heritage Trees list, nor are they noted as species that should be preserved within the Downtown Zoning Code (UCC Section 9229). In addition, all of the oak trees, which are identified as species that should be preserved, would remain.

As noted above in discussion a and c, the Project would not negatively impact existing views of the Western Hills, which are also available from the highway. Lastly, there are no designated state scenic highways within the vicinity of the Project, which is what is analyzed under this criterion. Therefore, the Project would not substantially damage scenic resources within view of a state scenic highway.

For the aforementioned reasons, impacts would be less than significant. (d) Less than significant impact. Existing development with reflective materials such as metal and windows, as well as street signs, and parked and moving vehicles are existing sources of glare during daylight hours. Street lights, vehicle headlights, and lighting associated with business in the vicinity of the Project are existing sources of light at nighttime. Construction would take place between daylight hours and would not occur outside of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., depending on the season the work is conducted within. As such, the Project would not result in a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views. Impacts would be less than significant.

of forest land to non-forest use?
e) Involve other changes in the existing
environment which, due to their location or
nature, could result in conversion of Farmland,
to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest
land to non-forest use?
Significance Criteria: The Proposed Project would have a potentially significant impact on agricultural resources if it would convert prime farmland to a non-agricultural use, conflict with a Williamson Act contract, or disrupt a viable and locally important agricultural use. The Project would have a potentially significant impact on forestry resources if it would result in the loss, rezoning or conversion of forestland to a non-forest use.

Environmental Setting: Early agricultural efforts in the Ukiah Valley included the raising of livestock, and the growing of various grains, hay, alfalfa, and hops. When the Northwestern Pacific Railroad was completed in 1889; prunes, potatoes, pears, and hops could be grown and sent to San Francisco and other regional markets. Wine grapes were planted, and irrigation was practiced on a small scale.

Through the 1950s, hops, pears, prunes and grapes were the most widely planted crops in the Ukiah Valley. After the railroad was completed, lumber mills sprang up in the Ukiah Valley and became the major industry in Mendocino County as trains took redwood logs and processed boards south to the San Francisco region. Today, much of the active agricultural land is located on the Valley floor and lower elevations along the Russian River system. Only a limited percentage of the Valley’s agricultural lands are currently protected under Williamson Act Agricultural Preserve contracts. According to the County of Mendocino’s Public GIS system, there are no Williamson Act contracts within the Project site or immediate vicinity.

City of Ukiah
There are no zoning districts within the City limits for Agriculture or Timber Preserve. While there is an overlay for agriculture in the Zoning Ordinance, it is not applied over any parcel within the City limits. There are a small number of City parcels that have current agricultural uses such as existing vineyards. However, these are ongoing non-conforming uses within non-agricultural zoning districts.

According to the California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping & Monitoring Program, California Important Farmland Finder, the majority of lands within the City of Ukiah are identified as “Urban Built-Up Land”.

Discussion: (a-e) No Impact. According to the California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping & Monitoring Program, California Important Farmland Finder, the Project site is designated as “Urban Built-Up Land” and does not contain Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. As such, the Project would not convert Farmland, conflict with existing zoning for agriculture or forest land, and would not involve changes to the environment that would result in the conversion of agricultural resources to non-agriculture uses. No impact would occur.

Mitigation Measures: None

Significance Criteria: The Proposed Project would have a significant impact to air quality if it would conflict with an air quality plan, result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of criteria pollutant which the Mendocino County Air Quality Management District (MCAQMD) has designated as nonattainment, expose sensitive receptors to substantial concentrations of air pollutants, or result in emissions that create objectionable odors or otherwise adversely affect a substantial number of people.

19 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
Environmental Setting: The Project is located within the North Coast Air Basin (NCAB), which includes Del Norte, Humboldt, Trinity, Mendocino, and northern Sonoma Counties, and is under the jurisdiction of the Mendocino County Air Quality Management District (MCAQMD). The area’s climate is considered Mediterranean, with warm, dry summers and cooler, wet winters. Summer high temperatures average in the 90s with high temperatures on very warm days exceeding 105 degrees.

Summer low temperatures range between 50-60 degrees. Winter high temperatures generally range in the 50s and 60s. The average annual temperature is 58 degrees. Winter cold-air inversions are common in the Valley from November to February.

Prevailing winds are generally from the north. Prevailing strong summer winds come from the northwest; however, winds can come from the south and east under certain short-lived conditions.

In early autumn, strong, dry offshore winds may occur for several days in a row, which may cause air pollution created in the Sacramento Valley, Santa Rosa Plain, or even San Francisco Bay Area to move into the Ukiah Valley.

The MCAQMD, which includes the City of Ukiah and surrounding areas, is designated as nonattainment for the State Standard for airborne particulate matter less than 10 microns in size (PM10).

Particulate matter (PM) has significant documented health effects. The California Clean Air Act requires that any district that does not meet the PM10 standard make continuing progress to attain the standard at the earliest practicable date. The primary sources of PM10 are wood combustion emissions, fugitive dust from construction projects, automobile emissions and industry. Nonattainment of PM10 is most likely to occur during inversions in the winter. Regulation 1 of the MCAQMD contains regulations (known as “Rules”) to regulate particulate matter; these Rules prohibit activities that would result in the injury, detriment, or annoyance of a considerable number of people, or which endanger the health and safety of the public.

The MCAQMD also provides the following significance thresholds for construction emissions:

1. 54 pounds per day of ROG (reactive organic gas)

2. 54 pounds per day of NOx (oxides of nitrogen as nitrogen dioxide)

3. 82 pounds per day of PM10 (particulate matter less than 10 microns in size)

4. 54 pounds per day of PM2.5 (airborne particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 microns or less)

5. Best Management Practices for Fugitive Dust – PM10 and PM2.5 Discussion: (a-d) Less than significant with mitigation. Typically, short-term construction related air quality impacts result from large projects requiring a significant amount of grading, demolition, or new construction that results in increased emission sand dust. Additionally, projects that require a large amount of vehicle trips and use of diesel equipment over an extended period (months) of time can result in air quality impacts. Long-term air quality impacts are typically from land uses that produce a significant amount of emissions, or sources of dust or other airborne irritants.

As described in the Project Description, standard demolition construction techniques and equipment including a mechanical ram, dump trucks, excavator, pickup truck, backhoe, front end loader, bobcat & stinger for concrete demolition would be used. The existing buildings will be disassembled via mechanical means and by hand labor where necessary. Mechanical means will include large track driven excavators with mechanical arms. On-site concrete pads and foundations will be demolished with mechanical rams. Demolished concrete and rebar will be off hauled and recycled at a local rock quarry. Other demolished debris will be loaded into dump trucks staged on site. 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. Demolition would take approximately three weeks with a crew of six construction workers. All work would be performed during

20 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
daylight hours and would not occur outside of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., depending on the season the work is conducted within.

The Project is anticipated to produce up to five dump truck trips per day to haul materials off-site, in addition to six vehicle trips for construction workers, for a total of 11 trips per day. Demolition activities including the use of diesel engine equipment would be subject MCAQMD regulations intended to address air quality impacts. Specifically, MCAQMD has a set of standard Best Management Practices (BMPs) for projects involving demolition, grading, construction, and the use of diesel engine equipment that could result in emissions or fugitive dust. These regulations have been incorporated into Mitigation Measures AQ-1 and AQ-2. Additionally, demolition of all commercial buildings are subject to the requirements of MCAQMD Regulation 1, Rule 492, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) for asbestos. As required by Mitigation Measure AQ-3, prior to receiving a demolition permit from the City, the MCAQMD requires the applicant to complete an Asbestos Survey, submit the results to the MCAQMD, and obtain written authorization indicating that all requirements have been met.

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.1
Demolition activities have the potential to expose sensitive receptors to diesel particulate, fugitive emissions and dust. However, implementation of Mitigation Measures AQ-1 and AQ-3 below, the would reduce impacts to sensitive receptors over the three-week construction period. In addition, the Project would not exceed the construction thresholds established by the MCAQMD, and air quality impacts associated with short-term construction would be less than significant with mitigation.

Because the Project does not propose new development, no impact would occur once demolition is complete.

The nature of operational air emissions is largely a cumulative impact. As a result, no single project is sufficient in size to, by itself, result in nonattainment of ambient air quality standards. Instead, a project’s individual emissions contribute to existing cumulatively significant adverse air quality impacts.

The MCAQMD developed the operational thresholds of significance based on the level above which a project’s individual emissions would result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to the North Coast Air Basin’s existing air quality conditions. Therefore, a project that exceeds the MCAQMD operational thresholds would also be a cumulatively considerable contribution to a significant cumulative impact. However, because the Project does not propose new development that would result in operational emissions, no cumulative impact would occur.

Based on the aforementioned, air quality impacts would be less than significant with mitigation. 1 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.

Environmental Setting: As noted in the Project Description, the Project site is located within the downtown area of Ukiah and surrounded by existing development. The site is developed with two buildings and a paved parking lot. Vegetation on the site is limited to the following: two California juniper shrubs (Juniperus californica), one Chinese pistache tree (Pistacia chinensis) located against the Dragon’s Lair building (east side); Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) against the Tom’s Glass building (east side) and four Valley oak trees (Quercus lobata) approximately 14 to 60 ft away from the building. Additionally, large oak trees line the east side of the parcel but are located on the adjacent parcel (see Figure 4).

Discussion: (a-d & f) No impact. Databases queried for the presence of biological resources included the California Department of Fish and Wildlife California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) Critical Habitat Mapper; these databases showed no biological resources including sensitive species, critical habitat, riparian habitat, sensitive natural communities, wildlife habitat corridors, water resources, or wetlands on the site, nor in the immediate vicinity. As such, the Project would have no impact on sensitive species, riparian habitat or wetlands.

Additionally, because the site is fully developed and surrounded by development within the downtown area, there are no wildlife corridors going through the site and the Project would not impede the movement of wildlife. Lastly, there are no adopted Habitat Conservation Plans for the City of Ukiah, nor the larger Ukiah Valley that are applicable to the Project. As such, no impact to the aforementioned biological resources would occur.

Discussion: (e) Less than significant impact. The existing Chinese pistache tree and the two Juniper shrubs located on the east side of the Dragon’s Lair building would be removed for demolition, as they are located against the building and partially growing into the foundation. In addition, the blackberry against the Tom’s Glass building would be removed. None of the species that are proposed for removal are listed as sensitive species at the state or federal level. Additionally, they are not identified as Heritage Trees, nor species needing preservation within the City’s Downtown Zoning Code (as identified in Tables 19 and 20 in Section 9229). None of the oak trees, which are listed as species that should be preserved in the Downtown Zoning Code, would be removed. As such, the Project would not conflict with any policy or plan intended to protect trees. No impact would occur.

Mitigation Measures: None.

Significance Criteria: The proposed Project would significantly impact cultural resources if the significance of a historical or archaeological resource were substantially changed, or if human remains were disturbed. Historical resources under CEQA include historic-era architectural resources within the built environment such buildings, structures, and other objects. Archaeological and unique archeological resources can also be considered historical resources, according to CEQA Section 15064.5 and Section 21083.2(g).

Section 15064.5 states the term “historical resources” includes the following:
1) A resource listed in, or determined to be eligible by the State Historical Resources Commission, for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (Pub. Res. Code § 5024.1, Title 14 CCR, Section 4850 et seq.);
2) A resource included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in section 5020.1(k) of the Public Resources Code or identified as significant in an historical resource survey meeting the requirements section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code, shall be presumed to be historically or culturally significant. Public agencies must treat any such resource as significant unless the preponderance of evidence demonstrates that it is not historically or culturally significant;
3) Any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California may be considered to be an historical resource, provided the lead agency’s determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. Generally, a resource shall be considered by the lead agency to be “historically significant” if the resource meets the criteria for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources (Pub. Res. Code § 5024.1, Title 14 CCR, Section 4852) including the following:
a. Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage;
b. Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past; c. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values; or
d. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

Section 21083.2(g) identifies a unique archeological resource as an archaeological artifact, object, or site about which it can be clearly demonstrated that, without merely adding to the current body of knowledge, there is a high probability that it meets any of the following criteria:
1) Contains information needed to answer important scientific research questions and that there is a demonstrable public interest in that information.
2) Has a special and particular quality such as being the oldest of its type or the best available example of its type.
3) Is directly associated with a scientifically recognized important prehistoric or historic event or person.

Assembly Bill 52 (effective on July 1, 2015) requires that before a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration, or environmental impact report for a project is prepared, the lead agency for the project must seek consultation with tribes associated with the location of the project. To receive referrals, each tribe must have previously made a written request to the lead agency in order to be

25 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
consulted on projects occurring in their geographic areas of interest. The Guidiville Rancheria of California is the only tribe that has made such request. As such, an AB 52 notice was sent to them on January 18, 2022. No responses were received.

Environmental Setting: The Ukiah Township lies in a valley of the Russian River, bounded on the north by Calpella Township, on the east by Lake County, on the south by Sanel Township, and on the west by Anderson Township. The City of Ukiah was first settled in 1856 by Samuel Lowry. Initially incorporated into Sonoma County, an independent Mendocino County government was established in 1859 with Ukiah as the chosen county seat. Logging, cattle, and agricultural ventures contributed to the early settlement and growth of Ukiah throughout the remainder of the 19th century and early 20th century. 1889 is the date recorded for the first arrival of the train to Ukiah, quickly resulting in increased settlement of the City and its environs. The City of Ukiah is within the territory of the Northern Pomo. Permanent villages were often established in areas with access to staple foods, often times along eco-tones (transitions between varying environments), with access to good water, and generally flat land.

The late 19th century saw slow growth in the community, with a slight decline after the turn of the century. The town grew steadily, though it remained a relatively remote outpost in the hinterlands of Northern California for several more decades. The area around the intersection of the current Perkins and Main streets was one of the earliest settlement locations for the town. Absalom Tidwell Perkins built a house for his family near the southwest corner of the current Perkins and Main streets, and built a feed stable on the Project site around 1857. By 1860, Ukiah had approximately 25 dwellings and a budding commercial district. Ukiah’s sparse population and relative remoteness delayed the arrival of the railroad. In 1886 the Cloverdale and Ukiah Railroad was formed to extend north to Ukiah; and the line was completed in 1889, 20 years after it began in Petaluma in 1869. The improved transportation network did open up Mendocino County to greater commercial and industrial growth, though the population did not expand rapidly.

A 1906 earthquake damaged a number of Ukiah buildings, particularly in the commercial core, and considerable rebuilding and remodeling activity occurred after that time. Additionally, in June 1917, a fire began at a restaurant (currently occupied by a law firm at 116 South State Street) and strong winds pushed the flames east, encompassing the two blocks between State street to the railroad tracks, including the Project site. The area was rebuilt over the next decade.

The City contains a number of Colonial Revival and Craftsman style derivations, popular during this era, that reflect the community’s prosperity. The City of Ukiah’s 1985 “Historic Resources Survey” (prepared by Historic Environmental Consultants) that was updated in 1999 by the “City of Ukiah Architectural Survey” (prepared by P.S. Preservation Services) identified 23 properties with local historic importance within the City limits. Per Ukiah City Code Section 3016(b), buildings over 50 years old proposed for demolition that do not meet the exemption criteria of being either an immediate safety hazard, or an accessory building that is not listed on the local historic inventory, shall be reviewed for their historic or architectural significance. Specifically, the City’s Demolition Review Committee shall review the proposal and make a recommendation to the Ukiah City Council. Per UCC 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.

City of Ukiah
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. This section of the UCC also describes procedures for review by the City Council.2 As detailed in the below analysis, the buildings do not meet the exemption criteria noted within the City code; and as such, on December 28, 2021, the City’s Demolition Review Committee reviewed the Project and voted to recommend demolition of both buildings to the City Council. This Initial Study is intended to analyze the impacts associated with demolition of the buildings, in accordance with CEQA. The Demolition Permit, together with this Initial Study, will be reviewed by City Council for final consideration.

Discussion: (a) Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. Because the Tom’s Glass building at 105 South Main Street is not located on a local, state or national register for historic places, demolition of it would not result in a significant impact to a historic resource. However, the existing Dragon’s Lair building originally dates from 1921, and was included in the City of Ukiah’s 1985 “Historic Resources Survey” (prepared by Historic Environmental Consultants) and updated in 1999 with the “City of Ukiah Architectural Survey” (prepared by P.S. Preservation Services). According to the 1985 survey, the building was assigned a “5” status code, which includes buildings that are identified as historic at the local level. Specifically, the 1985 survey notes that the building is representative of a type of commercial structure common to its era that is a “rather rare survivor of the type in Ukiah, and is located prominently. Its surfacing materials and form create a rather strong image of past lifestyles.” The 1999 survey was completed as an update to the 1985 survey, and reviewed each property’s eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. The 1999 survey notes that the building is vernacular commercial style and originally constructed in 1921 as a hay barn and feed store. The survey notes that the pressed metal clad building is “an excellent example of its type and the only one left in Ukiah”, and was therefore assigned a “3S” status code, which is defined as appearing to be eligible for the National Register as an individual property through survey information. However, the 1999 survey does not provide additional information regarding the change in status from the 1985 survey.

Although the 1999 survey identifies the building as eligible for the National Register, this does not accurately depict the building’s current status. In order for a building to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a building must first be listed on the State Register. In order to be listed on the State Register, the survey form completed by the local jurisdiction must be submitted to State of California’s Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO). SHPO then reviews the survey forms and determines if the building is eligible for listing on the State Register. Once listed on the State Register SHPO must submit a nomination form to the National Park Service for review and consideration.

Upon extensive research, it was determined that Dragon’s Lair building is not listed on either the State or Federal Registers. This is further supported by SHPO’s most recent classification system and database of historic buildings, also known as the “Built Environment Resource Directory” (updated March, 2020), which identifies the building status code as “5S2”, meaning that the local government has identified it as individually eligible for local listing. As such, the building is not listed on the State Register, nor is it identified as eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. This is further supported by SHPO’s most recent classification system and database of historic buildings, also known as the “Built Environment Resource Directory” (updated March, 2020), which identifies the building status code as “5S2”, meaning that the local government has identified it as individually eligible for 2 Ukiah City Code Section 3016 may be found online at:

local listing. As such, the building is not listed on the State Register, nor is it identified as eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

A Historic Resource Evaluation was prepared by APD Preservation, LLC in January, 2022 (Attachment A), to further research and evaluate the building’s historic significance. Under CEQA (Section 5024.1(c)), historic-era buildings older than 50 years are most commonly evaluated in reference to Criteria 1 (important events), Criteria 2 (important persons) or Criteria 3 (architectural value). To be considered eligible under these criteria the property must retain sufficient integrity to convey its important qualities. Integrity is judged in relation to seven aspects including: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The Historic Resource Evaluation for the Dragon’s Lair building provides an analysis of this criteria to determine if the building is historically or culturally “important” under CEQA. The evaluation (2022) found that the original building was constructed in 1857 and replaced once in 1890 with a new hay barn, but was destroyed during the 1917 fire that began two blocks west of the building. A new building was constructed in 1921 but was significantly modified between 1938 and 1963 when it was converted to retail (uses included several feed stores, a cheese and wine store, and other office/retail businesses). Modifications made to the building during this time included replacing 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. Dragon’s Lair retail business has been at the location since 1995.

In conclusion, the evaluation determined 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.” As such, the Dragon’s Lair building qualifies as a local historic resource under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for its association with the 1917 fire. However, the analysis states that the “dilapidated utilitarian building” is not architecturally distinctive and does not possess high artistic values, and as such, does not appear to be significant for its architectural merit (criterion 3).

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 building and does not propose new development at this time, mitigation measures related to architectural preservation are not appropriate.

Instead, Mitigation Measure CUL-1 would require photo documentation of the building to catalogue its existence and Mitigation Measure CUL-2 requires an educational plaque be erected on-site to acknowledge the building’s 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.

As described in the Summary of Findings in Section III of the ISMND, although it was discovered that the City’s local historic inventories (1985 and 1999) were not adopted by resolution or ordinance (as defined Public Resources Code Section 5020.1(k) to qualify as a local historic resource), the City recognizes the importance of the City’s inventory as it relates to local history, and has a precedent of processing Demolition Permits for buildings listed on the inventory featuring local historic significance.

As such, the analysis and proposed mitigation measures contained herein are necessary and adequate for reducing potential impacts to historic resources.

Discussion: (b) Less than significant impact. As noted in the City’s General Plan Historic and Archeological Resources Element (1995), the Project site is not identified as an area of high cultural sensitivity- 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. Because the Project site is fully developed with pavement and buildings, and the site does not have a high potential for cultural resources to occur, less than significant impacts would occur as a result of the Project. Additionally, construction of the Project will be required to adhere to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5 (e-f) which specifically addresses actions to be taken in the event that human remains or archeological resources are accidentally discovered during ground disturbing activities.

As noted above, 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. Based on the aforementioned, impacts to cultural and archeological resources would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures:

CUL-1: Photo Documentation. Prior to issuance of the demolition permit, photo documentation of the Dragon’s Lair building shall be required in order to catalogue its existence. The photo documentation shall be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director and submitted to the Mendocino County Historic Society.

CUL-2: Educational Plaque. Prior to final completion of the demolition permit, an educational plaque shall be erected on-site to acknowledge the Dragon’s Lair building’s historic significance related to rebuild efforts after the 1917 fire. The plaque design and content, as well as the proposed placement, shall be submitted to the Community Development Director for review and approval. The plaque shall remain on-site if and when the site is developed in the future. If the plaque is proposed for relocation, the property owner shall receive written approval from the Community Development Director to do so.

City of Ukiah
Environmental Setting: Recent legislature has urged the State of California to conserve energy resources and provide renewable and zero-carbon energy resources in place of fossil fuels for generating electricity in the state. Specific to construction projects, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) contain standards to regulate energy consumption through Green Building Standards to ensure construction and operation does not result in wasteful, inefficient or unnecessary consumption of energy resources. In addition, current building codes require energy efficiency systems to be included in their plans for permit review. These building codes are regularly updated statewide through California Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 6), commonly referred to as “Title 24” In general, Title 24 requires the design of building shells and building components to conserve energy, with standards to promote better windows, insulation, lighting, ventilation systems, and other features that reduce energy consumption in homes and businesses.

The standards are updated periodically to allow consideration and possible incorporation of new energy efficiency technologies and methods.

Discussion: (a-b) Less than significant impact. Fossil fuels for construction vehicles and other energy-consuming equipment would be used during demolition. However, fuel energy consumed during demolition would be temporary and would not represent a significant demand on energy resources. Project construction equipment would also be required to comply with the latest CARB and EPA engine emissions standards which require highly efficient combustion systems that maximize fuel efficiency and reduce unnecessary fuel consumption. Because no development is proposed, there would be no operational sources of energy consumed. All future development would be required to comply with the aforementioned regulations related to energy efficiency. With adherence to the aforementioned regulations, impacts from the Proposed Project related to energy consumption would be less than significant.

Environmental Setting: The Ukiah Valley is part of an active seismic region that contains the Maacama Fault, which traverses the Valley in a generally northwest-southeast direction, approximately 0.8-mi east of the City limits at its closets point. The Ukiah Valley is located within the North Coast Range geologic province, comprised of a geologic feature unique to California, the Franciscan Formation. The Franciscan Formation is comprised of serpentine, sandstone, and other sedimentary rocks. Based on California Geological Survey maps and the Background Report for the County of Mendocino General Plan Update (prepared by P.M.C., 2003), the City of Ukiah is outside of known areas of historic faults, Holocene Fault, Late Quaternary Fault and the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. Because most of the lands within the City are generally flat, slope instability hazards are not a concern, with the exception of lands within the Western Hills.

Discussion: (a-d) No Impact. The Project site sits at approximately 627 feet in elevation and has a slight west to east slope. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Web Soil Survey, the soils within the Project site are characterized as “210- Urban Land”, which is described as soils in highly populated areas containing largely built-out environments. In addition, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the site does not contain expansive or unstable soils and is not susceptible to landslides, nor strong seismic ground shaking.

The Project includes demolition of existing buildings, but will not include trenching or significant ground disturbing activities that would result in erosion or loss of topsoil because the existing foundation and paved site would remain. Lastly, no new development is proposed that would require the use of septic tanks or other waste water treatment facilities. For the above reasons, the Project would have no impact to geology and soils.

Significance Criteria: The Project would have a significant effect on greenhouse gas emissions if it would generate greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment; or conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs.

Environmental Setting: Climate change is caused by greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted into the atmosphere around the world from a variety of sources, including the combustion of fuel for energy and transportation, cement manufacturing, and refrigerant emissions. GHGs are those gases that have the ability to trap heat in the atmosphere, a process that is analogous to the way a greenhouse

Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration
City of Ukiah
traps heat. GHGs may be emitted a result of human activities, as well as through natural processes.

Increasing GHG concentrations in the atmosphere are leading to global climate change.

The state of California has adopted various administrative initiatives and legislation relating to climate change, much of which set aggressive goals for GHG emissions reductions statewide. Although lead agencies must evaluate climate change and GHG emissions of projects subject to CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines do not require or suggest specific methodologies for performing an assessment or specific thresholds of significance and do not specify GHG reduction mitigation measures. No state agency has developed binding regulations for analyzing GHG emissions, determining their significance, or mitigating significant effects in CEQA documents. Thus, lead agencies exercise their discretion in determining how to analyze GHGs. Because there are no adopted GHG thresholds applicable to the Project, and because the Project is considered “small scale”, meaning that it does not include new large buildings or components requiring significant construction that would result in increased GHGs, the below qualitative analysis is appropriate.

Pursuant to AB 32, on December 14, 2017, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved the current Climate Change Scoping Plan, California’s, 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan (2017 Scoping Plan Update). The 2017 Scoping Plan Update outlines the proposed framework of action for achieving the 2030 GHG target of 40 percent reduction in GHG emissions relative to 1990 levels. The Scoping Plan Update incorporates a broad array of regulations, policies, and state plans designed to reduce GHG emissions. These are largely related to operational emissions, which are not applicable to the Project. However, the Scoping Plan does include some regulations intended to reduce the amount of emissions related to construction equipment and vehicle trips applicable to the construction of the proposed Project. Most of these regulations are also incorporated into existing California Building Code regulations and other state laws applicable to operation of vehicles and equipment.

Discussion: (a-b) Less than significant impact. As described in Section V.3, Air Quality, demolition activities requiring the use of heavy equipment, tools (mechanical ram, dump truck, excavator, pickup truck, backhoe, front end loader, bobcat & stinger for concrete demolition) and vehicle trips (construction workers, equipment transportation, and dump truck haul trips) could result in direct GHG emissions. Demolition would take approximately three weeks with a crew of six construction workers.

Demolition activities including the use of diesel engine equipment would be subject MCAQMD regulations intended to address air quality impacts and GHG emissions. Additionally, the proposed Project would not conflict with the regulations identified in the Scoping Plan Update to reduce energy use and transportation emissions, most of which are also incorporated into California Building Codes and state law. As a result, the proposed Project would not conflict with applicable Climate Change Scoping Plan strategies and regulations to reduce GHG emissions. With the temporary nature of demolition activities and adherence to the aforementioned regulations, impacts related to GHGs would be would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: None.

County in December, 2020. The MJHMP provides an explanation of prevalent hazards within the County, identifies risks to vulnerable assets, both people and property, and provides a mitigation strategy to achieve the greatest risk reduction based upon available resources. The four cities within Mendocino County, including the City of Ukiah, participated in preparation of the MJHMP to individually assess hazards, explore hazard vulnerability, develop mitigation strategies, and create their own plan for each respective city (referred to as a “jurisdictional annex” to the MJHMP). The City of Ukiah adopted its jurisdictional annex chapter of the MJHMP on November 18, 2020. Hazards identified for the City if 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.

The Ukiah Municipal Airport is located within the City of Ukiah jurisdictional limits. The Ukiah Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (UKIALUCP) was adopted by the Mendocino County Airport Land Use Commission on May 20, 2021 and adopted by the Ukiah City Council on June 16, 2021. The UKIALUCP identifies areas (known as “compatibility zones”) with potential hazards and impacts to persons using or working within the vicinity of the airport.

Under Government Code Section 65962.5, both the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) are required to maintain databases of sites known to have hazardous substances present in the environment. The site does not include any known hazardous waste sites, as mapped by the SWRCB’s GeoTracker or DTSC’s EnviroStor databases.

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 within a High or Very High fire severity zone.

Discussion: (a-b) Less than significant impact. Demolition activities using heavy equipment and tools would include the routine transport, use, storage, and disposal of small quantities of common hazardous materials, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, hydraulic fluids, and oils. However, the Project would adhere to state and federal regulations related to the transportation, use, and disposal of such materials. The use of these types and quantities of materials over the three-week construction period would not pose a significant risk to the public and/or environment. Impacts would be less than significant.
(c) No impact. There are no schools within 0.25 mi of the Project 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. As noted above, the use of all hazardous materials will be in accordance with applicable regulations intended to reduce potential impacts to the environment and people. As such, no impact would occur.
(d) No impact. As previously noted, the Project site does not contain any listed hazardous sites. There is one listed cleanup site on the GeoTracker database adjacent to the Project, located at 203 South Main Street (case No. T064500019), but the site has been cleaned and the case has been closed as of 1995. As such, no impact would occur.
(e) Less than significant impact. The Project parcel is located approximately 1.1 mi 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

Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration
City of Ukiah
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 UKIALUCP. The Project would not result in a safety hazard or excessive noise related to airport operations for people working in the Project area. Impacts would be less than significant. (f) Less than significant impact. There are no components of the Project that would impair or interfere with emergency response or evacuation. Access is available to the site and there are no components of the Project that would impair implementation of, or physically interfere with, the adopted MJHMP or other emergency response plan or evacuation plan. Impacts would be less than significant.
(g) Less than significant impact. As previously noted, the Project site is not located within a High or Very High fire severity zone. The Project does not propose new development within a High or Very High severity zone that could expose people or buildings 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). Impacts would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: None.

c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern
of the site or area, including through the alteration
of the course of a stream or river or through the
addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner
which would:
i) result in a substantial erosion or siltation on- or

stormwater drainage systems or provide
substantial additional sources of polluted runoff;
or
d) In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk
release of pollutants due to project inundation?
e) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a
water quality control plan or sustainable
groundwater management plan?
Significance Criteria: The Project would significantly impact hydrology and water quality if it violated water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or substantially degraded surface or groundwater quality; substantially decreased groundwater supplies or impeded sustainable groundwater management; altered drainage patterns in a manner that would cause substantial on- or off-site erosion, polluted runoff or excessive runoff that caused flooding; impeded or redirected flood flows; risked a release of pollutants due to inundation if in a flood hazard, tsunami or seiche zone; or conflicted with a water quality plan or sustainable groundwater management plan.

Environmental Setting: Average rainfall in Ukiah is slightly less than 35 inches. Most of the precipitation falls during the winter. Rainfall is often from brief, intense storms, which move in from the northwest. Virtually no rainfall occurs during the summer months. Surface water supplies for the Ukiah Valley include the Eel River, from which water is diverted into the Russian River watershed through the Potter Valley Project, Lake Mendocino, and the Russian River. Groundwater is drawn from the

Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration
City of Ukiah
Ukiah Valley groundwater basin. The Ukiah Valley groundwater basin is the northernmost basin in the Russian River water system and underlies an area of approximately 60 square miles. Water enters the groundwater system via percolation of surface waters and through the soil. The creeks and streams in the Ukiah Valley provide drainage channels for groundwater recharge, as well as domestic and agricultural water supply. 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 new hookup scenarios and determined that there is capacity through the 2045 planning horizon to serve these growth projections.

Discussion: (a-e) No impact. No groundwater would be used for demolition. Water used for dust control would be from a water truck. The Project would not require water to be discharged and groundwater would not be impacted by the Project. Additionally, there are no water resources such as creeks or streams on the Project site, nor in the immediate vicinity, that would be impacted or altered as a result of the Project. Lastly, the Project is not located within a tsunami hazard zone, nor a flood zone, as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. As such, no impact to hydrology and water quality would occur.

Mitigation Measures: None.

Significance Criteria: The Project would significantly impact land use if it physically divided an established community or conflicted with a land use plan, policy or regulation intended to avoid or mitigate an environmental impact, such as the general plan or zoning code.

Environmental Setting: The City of Ukiah includes approximately 4.72 square miles. It serves as the County Seat of Mendocino County, as well as the county’s commercial hub. Predominant land uses in the City include single-family residential, multi-family residential, and commercial uses ranging from local commercial to service commercial, as well manufacturing, industrial and public facilities.

Development and land use patterns within the City of Ukiah are governed by the City’s General Plan, which was originally adopted in 1995, and currently in the process of being updated. Because the 2040 General Plan has not yet been adopted, the 1995 General Plan is the applicable plan relating to land use within the City. More specifically, zoning and land use are governed by the City’s Zoning Ordinance, as outlined in Division 9, Chapter 2 of the Ukiah City Code. The purpose of the Ukiah Zoning Code is to promote the growth of the City in an orderly manner and to promote and protect the public health, safety, peace, comfort and general welfare.

Discussion: (a) No impact. Physical division of an existing community would typically be associated with construction of a new highway, railroad, park or other linear feature being constructed in a manner that would bifurcate an established neighborhood or community. Because the Project site does not contain existing residences and is immediately surrounded by existing roads and commercial and public uses (as opposed to an existing residential community), the Project would not result in the division of an established community. No impact would occur. (b) Less than significant. The Project site has a General Plan (1995) designation of Commercial (C) and is zoned Urban Center (UC) within Downtown Zoning Code. The Commercial General Plan designation applies to lands appropriate for a variety of commercial uses where commerce and business may occur; uses are further specified within the corresponding zoning districts.

The Historic and Architectural Resources element (Chapter V.3) of the 1995 General Plan discusses cultural and historic resources within the City of Ukiah. Specifically, this element discusses both historical residential and commercial buildings. Regarding privately owned commercial buildings it states, “The General Plan needs to provide a balance between the preservation of historic and archeological sites for future study and analysis and the demands for current growth and development.

Project design and other features of development flexibility can provide the needed protection while still preserving property rights. The purpose of this element is to establish the criteria for this balance.” Section 3.04.02 provides goals and policies related to preservation of commercial buildings identified as historic on Figure V.3-EE. The buildings proposed for demolition are not identified in this figure.

The General Plan also states that “Situations may occur when an historic building, or a building with historic value, may need to be demolished for any number of reasons. With many historic resources, it may be appropriate to "mitigate" removal by photographing and recording as much information as is known about the site.” As noted in Section V.5, Cultural Resources, the Project proposes photo documentation and an educational plaque to be erected on-site to acknowledge its historic significance related to the 1917 fire, consistent with this General Plan statement.

One of the main purposes of the Downtown Zoning Code (contained within Article 18 of the City’s Zoning Code) is to create an urban environment that implements and fulfills the objectives and strategies of the General Plan to facilitate the coexistence of a wide range of mixed uses in close proximity within a downtown urban environment. The UC zoning designation allows for higher density residential and mixed-use buildings that may accommodate retail, office, services, local and regional civic uses, and residential uses. The Downtown Zoning Code does not contain regulations pertaining to demolition, with the exception of requiring City Council approval to demolish buildings older than 50 years old, in accordance with Ukiah City Code Section 3016. As noted in Section V.5, Cultural Resources, per Ukiah City Code Section 3016(b), buildings over 50 years old proposed for demolition that do not meet the exemption criteria of being either an immediate safety hazard, or an accessory building that is not listed on the local historic inventory, shall be reviewed for their historic or architectural significance. Because the buildings do not meet the exemption criteria noted within the code, on December 28, 2021, the City’s Demolition Review Committee reviewed the Project and voted to recommend demolition of both buildings to the City Council. This Initial Study is intended to analyze the impacts associated with demolition of the buildings, in accordance with CEQA. The Demolition Permit, together with this Initial Study, will be reviewed by City Council for final consideration.

As discussed in Section V.4, Biological Resources, the Downtown Zoning Code contains policies pertaining to the protection of trees. However, none of the species proposed for removal are species identified as needing protection. Lastly, no development is proposed at this time. Once the buildings are demolished, the site would be cleared and remain vacant until a proposal for development is submitted and approved through the discretionary process; all new development would be subject to the development requirements contained within the Downtown Zoning Code.
