AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the Mendocino Land Trust to Collaborate on the Assessment and Management of City-Owned Open Spaces.

DEPARTMENT: Community Services PREPARED BY: Neil Davis, Community Services Director PRESENTER: Neil Davis, Community Services Director
ATTACHMENTS:

1. MOU - MLT - COU (1)
Summary: Council will consider authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the Mendocino Land Trust to collaborate on the assessment and management of Cityowned open spaces.

Background: The City Council’s strategic plan and the City's Climate Initiatives includes a number of goals that support the importance of open space conservation (Climate Initiative 4.b. Maintain wild lands). The Council's Strategic Plan includes a goal to “Enhance Our Neighborhoods” and states the task to “preserve, conserve, and protect the natural resources/features of the Ukiah Valley and open space.” In pursuit of these goals, the City now owns over 1300 acres of open space. In addition to the recent western hills acquisition, now known as the Western Hills Watershed Protection Area (WHWPA), the City owns properties on Gibson Creek, at the old Fish Hatchery and headwaters, the landfill, the Waste Water Treatment Plant, the Great Redwood Trail, and Low Gap Park. Many of these properties have significantly more conservation value than their names might suggest.

Discussion: As the City’s stock of open space has increased, the need for the intentional and responsible application of land management best practices has become necessary. The Mendocino Land Trust (MLT), based in Fort Bragg, is one of the largest professional environmental organizations in the County of Mendocino. MLT staff specialize in land conservation and management. MLT has expressed an interest in establishing a greater presence in the Ukiah Valley. MLT has offered to provide a Baseline Assessment of the WHWPA (valued at $5,000) and to assist in the development of a WHWPA Volunteer Stewards program.

Additionally, MLT sponsors a Latino Outdoors program and is interested in expanding it to the Ukiah Valley.

Development of a Latino Outdoors program in the Ukiah Valley would support the Council's direction to improve equity in the development and implementation of programs (Equity Action Plan, Goal 4) .

For both the City and MLT there is benefit in collaboration, and in the promotion of this collaboration. Although the MLT is contributing valued staff time, this is not a fee for service relationship. While City staff have the expertise to perform the work independently , the contribution from MLT will free staff time and provide an opportunity for inter-team learning. For MLT, co-promotions will help demonstrate their mission-driven work and expand their presence in the Ukiah Valley, while the City will benefit by decreased workload and by publicly presenting City staff as expert partners with other conservation professionals. The first step in the process is through a simple Memorandum of Understanding stating mutual goals and commitments. Staff recommends support for the collaboration with MLT and authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute the agreement (Attachment 1).

This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) entered into on the ___ day of December , 2022 (“Effective Date”), by and between the Mendocino Land Trust (hereinafter referred to as “MLT”) and the City of Ukiah (hereinafter referred to as “the City”):

Whereas, the MLT is a nonpolitical, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that works all across Mendocino County and in part of Lake County; and Whereas MLT in accord with its mission conserves and restores habitat, scenic areas and working lands while also providing public access to beautiful places; and
Whereas the MLT has professional staff with training, expertise, and experience in property evaluation, conservation planning, restoration, and education; and Whereas the MLT maintains trails, develops and maintains trailheads, acquires land, designs and installs interpretive signs, leads interpretive hikes, and reaches out to underserved communities; and
Whereas the MLT employs the Fort Bragg coordinator for Latino Outdoors and desires to expand the chapter to Ukiah; and
Whereas the MLT seeks to further its mission through collaborative partnerships with a wide variety of community partners; and
Whereas MLT appreciates the value of public recreational access to open spaces; and
Whereas the City is the seat of Mendocino County with a resident population of 16,607 and additionally serves as an employment and retail center with a daytime population that is estimated at three or four times its residential population; and
Whereas the City is surrounded by largely undeveloped but privately held property that is unavailable for public recreation; and Whereas the City recently acquired approximately 700 acres of predominantly undeveloped land; and
Whereas the City now holds more than 1300 acres of open space with potential for conservation and recreation; and

2 Whereas the City is committed to providing, diverse, equitable, and inclusive services.

Now, therefore, MLT and the City mutually agree to:

1. Collaborate on the development of baseline assessments of appropriate City properties.

2. Collaborate on the development of a Western Hills Watershed Protection Area Volunteer Stewards program.

3. Explore opportunities to expand the Fort Bragg Latino Outdoors program to the Ukiah Valley.

4. Seek opportunities to partner on paid and volunteer conservation and recreation improvement projects that further the mission of MLT and the strategic plan of the City Council, including the City's Equity Action Plan, General Plan and Climate Initiatives.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approve Budget Amendment in the Amount of $5,474 for the Replacement of Failing Dimmer Switches in the Grace Hudson Museum.

DEPARTMENT: Community Services PREPARED BY: Neil Davis, Community Services Director PRESENTER: Neil Davis, Community Services Director.

ATTACHMENTS:

1. Diaz - Quote #59 10-12-22
Summary: Council will consider approving a budget amendment in the amount of $5,474 for the replacement of failing dimmer switches in the Grace Hudson Museum.

Background: Since its inauguration in 1986, the Grace Hudson Museum and Sun House has become an increasingly important cultural and educational resource for Northern California. The Museum now holds the largest and most important collection of Grace Hudson paintings and has earned a national reputation as home to a unique and important collection. As is the case with all respected museums, the use of a combination of natural and artificial light is a critical element in the presentation and preservation of museum quality artifacts and pieces. As the seasons change, even permanent collections at times require fine tuning of the lighting. As museum curators design and prepare new displays, large and fine scale adjustments to lighting are worked and reworked in pursuit of the optimal lighting to highlight the art.

As a major tourist attraction, the need for periodic Capital Improvements to ensure longevity and safety are crucial. The need for the replacement of the Grace Hudson Museum’s twenty-year-old museum grade lighting system was identified in the Capital Improvement Plan and budgeted for the 2021-2022. Although the dimmer switches were as old as the rest of the system, at the time there was no evidence of malfunction or wear and the dimmers were not replaced as part of the project.

Discussion: Unfortunately, in the last few months, there has been a sudden and rapid deterioration of dimmer switch performance. Most troubling is the onset of a rapid flickering of the lights. An assessment by the facilities maintenance team and an informal consultation with a trusted local electrician confirmed the potential fire hazard associated with this kind of dimmer switch failure. Due to the concern of fire risk, a quote was obtained (Attachment 1) and a contract was awarded for the emergency replacement of 39 dimmer switches.

This unexpected expense was not included in the current year’s budget. Staff requests a budget amendment in the amount of $5,474 from the general fund to cover this emergent unforeseen expense.

Recommended Action: Approve a budget amendment in the amount of $5,474 for the replacement of failing dimmer switches in the Grace Hudson Museum.

3. Notice-of-Completion
Summary: Council will consider approving the Notice of Completion for the 2022 Slurry Seal of Local Streets, Specification 22-01, and consider approving a corresponding budget amendment and final payment of the 5% retention to Doolittle Construction, LLC.

Background: The Ukiah City Council had awarded the contract for the 2022 Slurry Seal of Local streets on June 15, 2022, to Doolittle Construction, LLC. in the amount of $492,666.04, inclusive of quantities to be billed at actual amounts. This project involved the slurry seal, striping and other street markings.

Discussion: Contract work was completed by the contractor in substantial conformance with the approved plans (Attachment 1) and specifications on September 30, 2022. The project scope was increased to include additional layers of the slurry seal and striping of the local streets included in the original plans. The final contract cost, based on actual quantities of slurry and the authorized contract change order (Attachment 2) to allow for additional striping, is $608,922.56. This results in the need for a budget amendment, utilizing future Measure Y revenues. The final payment of the retention will be made to the contractor after 35 days from the date the Notice of Completion (Attachment 3) is filed with the County.

Recommended Action: Approve Notice of Completion for the 2022 Slurry Seal of Local Streets, Specification 22-01, approve corresponding budget amendment, and direct the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion with the County Recorder.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approval of a Budget Amendment for the Re-Roof of a Portion of the Civic Center Roof.

DEPARTMENT: Finance PREPARED BY: Mary Horger, Financial Services Manager PRESENTER: Mary Horger, Financial Services Manager

None
Summary: Council will consider approving a budget amendment to replace a section of the roof at the Ukiah Civic Center.

Background: Programmed in the five year Capital Improvement Plan, beginning in fiscal year 2022/2023 through fiscal year 2025/2026, is a $100,000 set-aside, through the cost allocation plan, for miscellaneous repairs and replacement of the Civic Center Roof, based on the full estimation of $400,000 for the complete roof replacement. Since this was a set aside, the actual funds were not placed in the capital budget, and only programmed in the cost allocation plan.

Discussion: The section of the roof over the Ukiah Police Dispatch (UPD) area has failed, and is currently covered with a tarp. It is critical that this section is immediately repaired, especially considering the cost of the equipment in the Dispatch Center area, where a leak could potentially destroy thousands of dollars of equipment, as well as bring the dispatch activities to a halt. A budget amendment is being requested in the amount of $40,000 for the roof repair. Based on an estimate provided by a roofing contractor, this will cover the immediate work necessary for the UPD section of the roof.

Recommended Action: Approve a budget amendment in the amount of $40,000 for the replacement of a portion of the Civic Center roof.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution of the City Council Reconsidering the Circumstances of the State of Emergency and Implementing Teleconferencing Requirements for City Council and Board and Commission Meetings During a Proclaimed State of Emergency Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

DEPARTMENT: City Attorney PREPARED BY: Darcy Vaughn, Assistant City Attorney PRESENTER: Consent Calendar

1. AB 361 Findings Reconsideration for All Legislative Bodies Summary: The City Council will consider adopting a resolution reconsidering the circumstances of the state of emergency and implementing teleconferencing requirements for public meetings of the Council and all City Commissions and Boards during the current state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: The City Council is being asked to consider adopting a resolution authorizing continued remote meetings of the Council and its subordinate legislative bodies due to the imminent risk to the health and safety of attendees due to possible transmission of COVID-19 and the recent spread of variants. The current County health orders strongly recommends masking in all indoor facilities due to health and safety concerns. COVID19 is highly transmissible in indoor settings and requires multi-component prevention strategies to reduce its spread. The California Department of Public Health is currently investigating the length of vaccine protection.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends avoiding indoor spaces that do not offer fresh air from the outdoors as much as possible. Returning to meeting in the Council Chambers or smaller conference rooms means being in an enclosed space for meetings that commonly last for one to five hours and would seem to create additional exposure for participants to a possible transmission of the virus.

The Ralph M. Brown Act (“Brown Act”) requires that all meetings of a legislative body of a local agency be open and public and that any person may attend and participate in such meetings. The Brown Act allows for legislative bodies to hold meetings by teleconference, but imposes specific requirements for doing so, including allowing public access to that location. On March 17, 2020, in order to address the need for public meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order No. N-29-20, temporarily suspending the Brown Act’s teleconferencing requirements, Executive Order No. N-8-2 then continued the suspension of the Brown Act’s teleconferencing requirements from June 11, 2021 through September 30, 2021. These Executive Orders allowed legislative bodies to meet virtually as long as certain notice and accessibility requirements were met.

The State Legislature amended the Brown Act through Assembly Bill No. 361 (“AB 361”) on September 16, 2021. As with the Executive Orders, AB 361 requires that certain notice and accessibility requirements continue to be met for holding virtual public meetings. In addition, AB 361 states that a local agency may use teleconferencing without complying with the regular teleconferencing requirements of the Brown Act, where the legislative body holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency and makes certain findings; and requires that the legislative body make additional findings every 30 days in order to continue such teleconferencing.

As such, Staff recommends that the Council reconsider the circumstances of the state of emergency, and make findings regarding the state of emergency by adopting the Resolution Implementing Teleconferencing

Requirements for City Council and Board and Commission Meetings During a Proclaimed State of Emergency Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic (“Resolution”) attached here as Attachment 1.

Discussion: AB 361, codified in part in Government Code § 54953, allows a local agency legislative body to hold a public meeting utilizing teleconferencing without giving public access to a teleconference location but allowing public comment virtually if the Governor has proclaimed a State of Emergency and any of the following circumstances also apply:

1. State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.

2. The meeting is being held for the purposes of determining, by majority vote, whether as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.

3. The legislative body has determined that as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.

As amended by AB 361, Government Code § 54953(e)(3) requires cities that are conducting public meetings via teleconferencing during a declared State of Emergency to make findings, within 30 days of the first virtual meeting after AB361 going into effect, and every 30 days thereafter, that the legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency and either 1) the emergency continues to impact the ability to meet safely in person, and/or 2) State or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing.

Council adopted these findings at their November 16, 2022 meeting. The Council must now adopt, via this Resolution (Attachment 1), the findings that confirm the circumstances of the state of emergency and justify holding public meetings of the Council and all subordinate commissions, boards, and committees utilizing teleconferencing and allowing public comment virtually, pursuant to Government Code § 54953(e)(3).

Given recent modifications to the health order, Staff is currently utilizing and fine-tuning a hybrid meeting option that allows for in-person and remote participation in an effort to accommodate all needs and choices.

Staff will be working with the Mayor to coordinate continued implementation.

Recommended Action: Adopt a Resolution of the City Council Reconsidering the Circumstances of the State of Emergency and Implementing Teleconferencing Requirements for City Council and Board and Commission Meetings during a Proclaimed State of Emergency Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Summary: Council will hold a public hearing and consider adoption of a resolution certifying the Environmental Impact Report (EIR), adopting the Findings of Fact and a Statement of Overriding Considerations; approving a Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program; and consider adoption of a Resolution adopting the Ukiah 2040 General Plan Update.

Background: State law requires each city and county to adopt a general plan, which is the local government’s long-term framework or “constitution” for future growth and development. The current General Plan, the Ukiah Valley General Plan and Growth Management Program, was adopted by the City Council in December 1995.

In May 2019, the City Council initiated a comprehensive update to the General Plan. The 2040 General Plan Update has been prepared based on the input received at community workshops and through online and other engagement activities, as well as from emailed, written, and verbal input throughout the roughly three-and-ahalf year process. This has involved extensive engagement and interaction with community stakeholders, outside agencies, and the public. Input and direction has also been received from the City Council, Planning Commission, and various City boards and commissions.

The public review draft Ukiah 2040 General Plan was released on August 5, 2022. On October 7, 2022, the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), State Clearinghouse (SCH) #2022050556, for the Public Review Draft 2040 General Plan (Ukiah 2040 General Plan or 2040 General Plan) was released and made available for public review and comments for a 45-day period, from October 7, 2022 to November 21, 2022. The Ukiah 2040 General Plan and Draft and Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) are most accessible on the City's 2040 General Plan website, at the following link: https://www.ukiah2040.com. Additionally, Staff has included a General Plan Errata, which is intended to summarize changes and revisions proposed to the General Planfrom additional public comments- since its release on August 5, 2022 (Attachment 1). Public comments received since August 5 are also included (Attachment 2).

On October 20, 2022, the Mendocino County Airport Land Use Commission reviewed the Ukiah 2040 General

Plan for consistency with the Ukiah Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (UKIALUCP) and adopted Resolution 22-0006, finding the Ukiah 2040 General Plan consistent with the UKIALUCP.

On November 9, 2022, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, considered all written and oral reports of Staff and public testimony on the Ukiah 2040 General Plan, including all written public comments received as of November 9, 2022, and unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2022-01 (Attachment 3), recommending that the City Council adopt the Ukiah 2040 General Plan. A video recording of the November 9 meeting, along with associated agenda materials and minutes, can be accessed via the following link:
https://www.cityofukiah.com/meetings.

Discussion: The Ukiah 2040 General Plan will apply citywide and addresses topics including land use, housing, economic development, climate change and sustainability, public facilities, services, and infrastructure, public safety, preservation of open space, and agriculture. The 2040 General Plan also serves to unify many separate but interconnected plans and priorities within the Ukiah Valley, partly to assist in accomplishing Goal LU-7 of the Ukiah Valley Area Plan: "Recognize that the Ukiah Valley is one community, and foster collaborative decision-making between County and City agencies." The Ukiah 2040 General Plan is not designed to be prescriptive. Rather, the 2040 General Plan sets forth a unified vision while also facilitating actions and programs to achieve that vision.

Notable Highlights of the Ukiah 2040 General Plan
Proposed Sphere of Influence and Interconnectedness with LAFCo Efforts The Proposed Sphere of Influence (SOI), first identified and directed by the City Council in January 2020, has been substantially retained as the recommended SOI for the 2040 General Plan. Since Spring 2022, Staff of the City and Mendocino Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) have collaboratively worked to prepare an updated Municipal Service Review (MSR) and Sphere of Influence. Preparation of the MSR and SOI directly paralleled final General Plan preparation efforts, ensuring consistency between long-range planning documents. If the 2040 General Plan and associated EIR are adopted by the Council, LAFCo is set to review and possibly adopt the City's MSR and SOI at their December 19, 2022 meeting.

Agriculture Element
For the first time in the City's history of preparing General Plans, an Agriculture Element has been completed for the Ukiah 2040 General Plan. The new Agriculture Element is meant to preserve and strengthen agricultural resources in and around the city while also helping to promote the agricultural identity of Ukiah and its valley as outlined within the Ukiah Valley Area Plan. 2021 UKIALUCP Incorporated in Entirety
The entirety of the 2021 Ukiah Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (UKIALUCP) has been incorporated by reference directly within the 2040 General Plan, ensuring no incompatibility of land uses around the airport in the future.

Addressing Climate Change as a Priority
Through the multiple community workshops and engagement efforts held for the 2040 General Plan, addressing climate change emerged as one of the top issues of importance to the community. There are several State laws that address climate change, and the City Council recently adopted a Climate Initiatives resolution. To unify these various directives, proposed as one of the first programs to be completed within the Environment and Sustainability Element is preparation and adoption of a Climate Action Plan (CAP). The CAP is expected to drive efforts to achieve carbon neutrality for all municipal operations and city Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals.

Ukiah 2040 General Plan Designed to be a Living, Breathing Plan Although Staff is satisfied with the Ukiah 2040 General Plan, due primarily to its reflection of community input, focus on realistic implementation, and as a unifying vision for the future of Ukiah, the 2040 General Plan should not be viewed as a static document. As time passes, local economics, population, and priorities

change, technologies advance, crises occur, and other opportunities arise that are important to the Council, the Ukiah 2040 General Plan can be amended to reflect these changing conditions. Staff therefore encourages Council and the community to treat the Ukiah 2040 General Plan as general plans were originally envisioned--as a living, breathing plan rather than a planning document "stuck in time." Environmental Review
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Environmental Impact Report has been prepared for the 2040 General Plan and can be found online on the City’s 2040 General Plan website.

The Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) was circulated for a 45-day public review period, starting on October 7, 2022 through November 21, 2022. The Draft EIR analyzes the impacts for each resource area included in the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G checklist. These impacts are summarized below and discussed in detail throughout Chapter 4 of the DEIR.
 Effects Found Not Significant (no impact or less than significant): Energy, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, and Hydrology and Water Quality and Mineral Resources. As allowed under CEQA Guidelines Section 15128, these topical areas not further discussed in detail in the DEIR as individual sections. (see DEIR Section 4.16, Effects Found Not to be Significant).  Less than Significant Impact: Aesthetics, Agricultural and Forestry Resources, Land Use and Planning, Population and Housing, Public Services, Transportation, and Utilities and Service Systems. (See DEIR Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.7, 4.9, 4.11 and 4.13).
 Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation: Biological Resources, Tribal Cultural Resources, Wildfire, and Paleontological Resources. (see DEIR Sections 4.4, 4.12, 4.14 and 4.15 and Table ES-1).

As described in DEIR Section 2.7.8, Project Buildout, the EIR analyzes impacts from the 2040 General Plan designating land uses defining the type and amount of development that can occur throughout the city and proposed annexation areas through the planning horizon year of 2040 (over approximately 18 years). Based on the potential land use changes, the 2040 General Plan has a maximum buildout potential of an additional 2,350 housing units and an additional 4,514,820 non-residential square footage. However, the maximum buildout is an estimate and is not intended to predict the amount of development that will occur in the city in the future. Similarly, this “maximum buildout” scenario is used as a conservative assumption for purposes of the CEQA analysis in the EIR and to maximize future streamlining opportunities. For these reasons, the following impacts were determined to remain significant and unavoidable:
 Air Quality Impact AQ-2: Development facilitated by the project would result in a net increase of criteria pollutants due to vehicle miles traveled (VMT) compared to existing conditions. However, the City has adopted thresholds of significance and screening criteria for transportation impacts that would be expected to result in a less than significant transportation impact for nearly all of the projects facilitated under the 2040 General Plan (see DEIR Appendix D). Additionally, all feasible mitigation measures to reduce VMT are included as Policies in the 2040 General Plan. However, the EIR conservatively determines that the overall operational impacts to Air Quality would remain significant and unavoidable because the maximum buildout of the 2040 General Plan would increase criteria pollutants when compared to existing conditions (see FEIR pp. 2; DEIR pp. 4.3-13 and 4.11-13; and Appendix D).  Cultural Resources Impact CUL-1: Development facilitated by the project would have the potential to impact historical resources. Existing Ukiah City Code and CEQA regulations, in addition to proposed 2040 General Plan policies and mitigation would reduce impacts to historic resources. Nonetheless, impacts would be significant and unavoidable (see FEIR pp. 8; DEIR pp. 4-5.12).  Greenhouse Gas Emissions Impact GHG-1: Development facilitated by the 2040 General Plan would make progress towards achieving State goals but would not necessarily meet State 2030 or 2045 goals. Mitigation Measures GHG-1 and GHG-2 would result in implementation of CEQA GHG thresholds and a Climate Action Plan (CAP); however, development facilitated by the 2040 General Plan would not meet the 2030 or 2045 goals until the CAP is prepared and adopted. This impact would be significant and unavoidable (see FEIR pp.10; DEIR pp. 4-6.12).

 Noise Impact NOI-1: Construction of individual projects facilitated by the 2040 General Plan would temporarily increase noise levels, potentially affecting nearby noise-sensitive land uses. Development facilitated by the project would introduce new on-site noise sources and would contribute to increases in traffic noise. The continued regulation of on-site noise, consistent with the Ukiah City Code and implementation of proposed 2040 General Plan policies would minimize disturbance to adjacent land uses. However, construction noise and traffic noise may still exceed noise standards and impacts would be significant and unavoidable (see FEIR pp.11; DEIR pp. 4-8.12).

The Final EIR for the 2040 General Plan has been prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15132, and made available on the City’s 2040 General Plan webpage on November 23, 2022. The Final EIR includes all written public comments received, as well as responses to comments and a summary of changes (all non-substantive) proposed to the DEIR as a result of public comments received (see Chapters 3 through 5 of the FEIR).

A project with significant and unavoidable impacts may be approved if the economic, legal, social, technological or other benefits of the proposed project outweigh the significant and unavoidable environmental effects of the project; in which case these environmental effects may be considered “acceptable.” CEQA Guidelines section 15093 requires decision makers to balance the economic, social, technological, or other benefits of the proposed project against its unavoidable environmental impacts when deciding whether or not to approve a project with significant and unavoidable impacts. In order to approve a project that would result in significant and unavoidable environmental effects identified in the EIR that cannot be reduced to a less than significant level, the Lead Agency must state in writing the specific reasons to support the project approval based on a balancing of project benefits against impacts remaining significant as identified in the Final EIR and/or other information in the record. This is formally known as a “Statement of Overriding Considerations” and is made pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15093. The findings required for a Statement of Overriding Considerations are made in addition to the findings required by CEQA Guidelines section 15091.

The authority to certify the EIR lies with the City Council, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15090.

However, before approving a project with significant and unavoidable environmental impacts, a Lead Agency is required to first certify the EIR and adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations. Attachment 4 includes a draft Resolution for actions related to certification of the EIR. Specifically, Exhibit A of the draft Resolution contains the Findings to certify the EIR, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations outlining the Project’s benefits and how they outweigh the significant and unavoidable impacts identified throughout the EIR in order to support certification of the EIR. The Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program is contained within Exhibit B of the draft Resolution.

Staff Recommendations
Staff recommends that the Council conduct a public hearing and 1) adopt the Resolution in Attachment 4 certifying the EIR, adopting Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations; approving a Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program; and 2) adopt the Resolution in Attachment 5 adopting the Ukiah 2040 General Plan.

Recommended Action: Conduct public hearing and adopt a Resolution certifying the EIR, adopting the Findings of Fact and a Statement of Overriding Considerations; approving a Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program; and adopt a Resolution adopting the Ukiah 2040 General Plan.

AIP-PD
Purpose and Application:

This designation replaces the Master Plan Area designation for the Airport Industrial Park Planned Development (AIP-PD) area in southern Ukiah along Highway 101. The AIP-PD was originally approved in 1981, and the Ordinance regulating current land uses was first adopted in 2013; lands within this area are currently governed by AIP-PD Ordinance No. 1213 which was adopted in 2021. Since adoption of the 1995 General Plan this area is almost completely built out with a variety of commercial, industrial, and mixed-use development. Land Use within this area is further broken down into seven land use categories: Highway Commercial; Industrial; Industrial Auto; Commercial; Light Manufacturing Mixed Use; Open Space; Professional Office; and Retail Commercial (as shown on the AIP-PD land use designation map). Each designation contains a set of development standards (setbacks, height, design, land use, landscaping, etc.). While the AIP-PD notes that residential density is limited to 60 people per acre, and commercial development is subject to 40 percent maximum lot coverage, due to its proximity to the airport, the AIP-PD relies on density restrictions noted within UKIALUCP.

Final Draft Policy Document | 2022 Page 2-19
Over the course of this General Plan, the Citywill continue to develop and grow to meet the needs of current and future residents, businesses, and visitors. The General Plan is intended to ensure an orderly, contiguous pattern of development that prioritizes infill development, phases new development, encourages compactness and efficiency, preserves surrounding open space and agricultural resources, and avoids land use incompatibilities. The Plan is also designed to promote sustainable development and local growth patterns that enhance Ukiah’s overall quality of life. Through this General Plan the City prioritizes land development that meets the needs of the current population without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. New development should minimize resource consumption, reduce dependency on the automobile, preserve sensitive environmental resources, reduce maintenance and utility expenses, and promote physical, mental, and social well-being improve social health and interaction.

Future Annexations
Annexation efforts for the City of Ukiah have been discussed over the last three decades and addressed in multiple planning documents produced over the past 35 years, including the 1984 Ukiah General Plan, the 1995 Ukiah General Plan, the 2009-14, 2014-19, and 2019-27 Ukiah Housing Elements, Mendocino County’s 2019-2027 Housing Element, and the 2011 Ukiah Valley Area Plan. Themes within these documents related to annexation include supporting future housing needs through annexation efforts that lead to the orderly expansion of growth to avoid sprawl; collaboration between the cities within the county on regional housing by supporting annexation applications to the Mendocino LAFCo from cities for annexations of contiguous lands; and the need for preservation of open space and agricultural lands.

Consistent with direction received from the City Council, the adopted Annexation policy, and relevant City and County planning documents, the City of Ukiah intends to pursue annexation of approximately 910 acres of land, currently located in the County of Mendocino’s jurisdictional boundaries, into the City limits. The 910 acres proposed for annexation are categorized as the following Annexation Areas: City-Owned Properties; the Brush Street/Masonite Annexation Area; and the Western Hills Annexation Area. All of the land the City is pursing for annexation is located within the City’s current SOI, and with the exception of the Western Hills annexation, a portion of the landfill site along Vichy Road, and the open space area west of the terminus of Standley Street. However, all of the land the City is pursuing for annexation is located within the City’s proposed SOI. The Annexation Areas being pursued by the City are summarized below and shown on Figure 2-2.

Annexation requests and jurisdictional changes must be reviewed and approved first by City Council, then by the Mendocino County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo). In December 2021, the City submitted annexation pre-applications to LAFCo for annexation of the City Owned Properties and the Northern Annexation Area. The City anticipates submitting pre-applications and full applications to LAFCo for all areas within the Proposed SOI shown within Figure 2-2 over the next one to three years.

Meeting the Housing Needs of Ukiah
While housing and residential neighborhoods form the fabric that makes the City a cohesive community, finding a place to call home in Ukiah can sometimes be challenging. The City is not affordable for some prospective residents, and the range of housing types and sizes to accommodate varied households is limited. The domination of single-family neighborhoods and the trend towards building single-family homes geared toward higher-income earners has further contributed to the housing issues in the City.

These housing issues are not unique to Ukiah and are seen throughout many communities in California. The State of California has been working with communities to help meet the number and affordability of housing units needed in the State. As part of the Housing Element process, the State dictates the number of units, at a variety of income

Airport Related Plans
Ukiah Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan
Ukiah is a unique community with a complex development pattern that is affected by the Ukiah Municipal Airport Compatibility Zones, as described within the Ukiah Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (UKIALUCP 2021).The UKIALUCP is a Mendocino County regulatory plan applicable to development in the vicinity of the Ukiah Municipal Airport. Whereas the UKI Master Plan applies to the airport proper, the UKIALUCP applies to development within the Area of Influence of the airport.

Ukiah Municipal Airport Master Plan
The Ukiah Municipal Airport Master Plan (Airport Master Plan), adopted by the City in 1996, serves as a framework within which individual airport projects can be implemented. The Airport Master Plan summarizes airport inventory, role and activity, and financial plan, and establish standards for airfield design and building area development. In January 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved Ukiah Municipal Airport’s Airport Layout Plan, illustrating proposed alterations to the airfield system.

Ukiah Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan
Adopted in 2021 by the Mendocino County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) and City of Ukiah, the Ukiah Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (UKIALUCP) replaces the compatibility plan for Ukiah Municipal Airport adopted by the ALUC in 1996 as part of the countywide Mendocino County Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan (MCACLUP). Whereas the UKI Master Plan applies to the airport proper, the UKIALUCP applies to development within the Area of Influence of the airport. The UKIALUCP is wholly self-contained and does not rely upon any policies or other content contained in the MCALUCP. The MCALUCP remains in effect for other airports in Mendocino County.

The Mendocino County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) is the principal body for oversight of the UKIALUCP.

The basic function of the UKIALUCP is to promote compatibility between the airport and surrounding land uses. As adopted by the ALUC, the plan serves as a tool for use by the ALUC in fulfilling its duty to review certain airport and adjacent land use proposals. Additionally, the plan sets compatibility criteria applicable to local agencies in their preparation or amendment of land use plans and ordinances and to landowners in their design of new development.

The operation of the Ukiah Municipal Airport affects development in a significant portion of the city through the enforcement of the six Airport Land Use Compatibility Zones (see Figure 2-5), with the addition of an overlay zone to two of the zones, which functionally creates restrictions on development within the vicinity of the airport based on proximity to the airport and flight path. Specifically, Chapter 3 of the UKIALUCP lists restrictions for each land use within each Compatibility Zone related to height, density (both residential and non-residential), land use, noise, and open land (see UKIALUCP Table 3A for a summary of restrictions and development standards). These standards are intended to promote compatibility between the Ukiah Municipal Airport and surrounding land uses and were applied to each of the land use designations on the General Plan Land Use Diagram (see Figure 2-1).

Sign Regulations
The City shall update the Zoning Code sign provisions to incorporate a consistent program for new signs to simplifyy the signage process.
(Source: Existing Program CD-13.1c, modified)
Tree Preservation
The City shall encourage the preservation of trees on public and private property. Priority should be given to the preservation of trees considered significant due to their size, history, unusual species, or unique quality. (Source: Existing Program CD-4.3b, modified) Historic Preservation and Restoration
The City shall encourage restorative maintenance to deteriorated buildings, particularly in Downtown, and restrict the demolition of historically and/or architecturally significant buildings to accommodate new development. The City shall encourage adaptive re-use of historic structures to maintain their historic character while supporting economic development. (Source: New Policy) Water Efficient Landscaping
The City shall ensure that Zoning Code landscape standards and design guidelines reflect the most current water efficient landscape standards that include native, adaptive, and drought resistant vegetation, as well as provisions for street canopies and streetscape enhancement. (Source: Existing Programs CD-4.2a and -4.3a)
Environmental justice is the fair treatment of people of all races, cultures, and incomes with respect to the development, adoption, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. Today, and throughout much of California and United States history, communities with lower incomes, lower levels of education, and higher proportions of minority residents often bear a disproportionately large burden of exposure to environmental hazards. These environmental inequities are largely a result of land use policy and zoning regulations (e.g., residential uses located adjacent to industrial uses) that have led some communities to experience higher levels of exposure to air and water pollution. Environmental justice laws seek to address these inequities. California Senate Bill 1000, enacted in 2016, requires general plans adopted after January 2018 to include an environmental justice element, or related goals, policies, and objectives, integrated in other elements. Environmental justice objectives and policies should seek to reduce the unique or compounded health risks in disadvantaged communities through strategies such as reducing pollution exposure, improving air quality, and promoting public facilities, food access, safe and sanitary homes, and physical activity; promote civil engagement in the public decision-making process; and prioritize improvements and programs that address the needs of disadvantaged communities.  For additional analysis on identified disadvantaged unincorporated communities (DUCs) please refer to the SB 244 Analysis provided in Appendix CX.

Economic Development Element
[moved setting language that was to here the next page]This Economic Development Element provides guidance on how Ukiah can build upon its successes by fostering a business-friendly environment, encouraging additional local employment opportunities, cultivating economic diversification, and expanding the tourism industry. The City also has an opportunity to seek partnerships through collaboration, which are key to a successful economic development strategy.

3. Economic Development Element
Final Draft Policy Document | 2022 Page 3-3
Ukiah’s economy is steadily growing. It reflects Ukiah’s position in the broader regional context. Most of the city’s industries and jobs are driven by the surrounding natural resources and the city’s importance as a regional and governmental center. Farming, fishing, and forestry occupations make up an outsized portion of the city’s employment base. These occupations employ about four percent of city residents, which is more than six times the national average for such occupations.

By sector, more residents of Ukiah are employed in health care, education and social assistance than any other industry, with about 14 percent of residents working in those fields. After healthcare and social assistance, retail trade accounts for 13 percent of employment; retail and food services make up about 10 percent.

Ukiah’s position as Mendocino County’s seat means that public administration jobs also make up a large portion of the city’s employment base, with approximately seven percent of the city’s residents employed in public administration. Generally, Ukiah’s economic base is slowly growing and diversifying. Since 2013, the number of jobs in the city has increased from 6,200 to 6,700.

Major employers in and around Ukiah mirror the major employment sectors. In government, both Mendocino County and the City of Ukiah are major employers. Ukiah Valley Medical Center, the largest medical center in the region, serving both the city and many of the rural communities nearby, is the largest employer in the healthcare sector.

Education-related employers include Ukiah Unified School District, Mendocino College, and several private and charter schools. Costco and Walmart are the largest retail employers, collectively employing several hundred residents between them. Finally, there are several major agricultural and forestry related employers in and around Ukiah.

The City’s ability to meet its economic development goals depends on regional market forces outside of the City’s control. However, the City does have control over how to position itself as a place to do business. This includes targeting the types of businesses that the community wants to attract and retain, ensuring that resources are available for the labor force to improve its occupational skills, and sustaining a business climate that makes the community attractive for business location and expansion. By targeting business attraction, improving the labor force, and optimizing the business climate, a community positions itself to attract and retain businesses that serve markets beyond its own borders and bring higher paying jobs into the community.

In addition to accommodating growth and attracting new businesses, successful economic development also requires a consensus about the needs of growing businesses, community values, and the type of community in which people want to live. The City, by helping make Ukiah attractive as a place to live for creative and skilled residents, will, in turn, create opportunities for economic growth, including opportunities to expand access and availability for remote working. These initiatives are essential activities that can ensure sustainable and diversified economic growth opportunities.

The City relies partially on partnerships with Mendocino County, local economic development organizations, and businesses to pursue its economic development goals. Goals and policies in this section seek to leverage resources throughout the city, county, and region to support and implement the goals of the 2040 General Plan and the

Final Draft Mobility Element

Mobility Element
The MobilityElement describes the planned citywide transportation network. A key goal of the General Plan is the provision of a well-connected network of “complete streets” that provide multi-modal mobility, access to land uses, and support Ukiah’s economic and sustainability goals. The Mobility Element describes and illustrates the circulation system and provides guidelines to support and complement existing and planned development. The goals of the Mobility Element include ensuring that transportation and land use decisions are coordinated, promoting the safe and efficient transport of goods, efficient use of existing facilities, and protecting environmental quality.

This section summarizes existing characteristics of Ukiah’s transportation system. This information provides the
background for the goals, policies, and implementation
programs that reflect the community’s vision for the future of Ukiah. The transportation system enables the movement of people and goods from one place to another, and, in doing so, affects community character, natural and built environment, and economic development patterns. Additionally, the community development pattern helps shape the transportation system.

Transportation Network
Streets and Highways. The circulation network serving the city of Ukiah includes a network of city and county-maintained streets and state highways. There are roughly 54.68 miles of roadways owned and maintained by the City of Ukiah. The state highways in Ukiah consist of U.S. Highway 101.

The connections between these roadway systems play an
integral role in connecting the city of Ukiah to unincorporated areas of the Ukiah Valley, some of which use City services and exist as part of the Ukiah community, the greater Mendocino County region and additional regional destinations outside of Ukiah and Mendocino County. For example, State Routes 20 and 253 are located outside of the city limits but provide residents with east and west access to Mendocino County, Lake County, and connections to other major north-south highways such as State Route 1 and Interstate 5 which traverse most of the state. Ukiah is the largest city in Mendocino County, making the jurisdiction a city center of Mendocino County.

The cost of road improvements that serve both specific projects as well as general traffic needs is one of the most expensive components of development. As the Valley grew, there was a tendency to reduce or even avoid road improvement requirements on new subdivisions and other projects because of the cost burden. In a growing California rural community, this is not unusual. Some neighborhoods have connecting streets in a less than congruous pattern, resulting in through traffic being forced into residential areas.

Bicycling and Walking Facilities. Ukiah has an extensive sidewalk network, specifically through the downtown and surrounding areas, which provide an environment that encourages walking. Dedicated bicycle facilities in Ukiah include 1.85 miles of shared-use paths and 7.97 miles of on-street bicycle lanes. However, major areas of the city have no designated bicycle facilities, and barriers to walking trips exist, including wide crossing distances, a lack of adequate pedestrian facilities on intermittent sections of State Street, and various gaps in sidewalks throughout the City.

Public Transit Service. Public Transportation in Ukiah is provided by the Mendocino Transit Authority (MTA). MTA jurisdiction is sanctioned by a 1976 Join Powers Authority (JPA) agreement between the County of Mendocino and

Downtown Streetscape Improvement Project. Phase 1 of the Downtown Streetscape Improvement Project was completed by the City’s Department of Public Works and its contractors in August 2021. Phase I included a “road diet” and streetscape improvements in Downtown Ukiah. The intent of the project is to transform Downtown Ukiah into a more pedestrian-oriented environment and an active location for business, recreation, and shopping while also enhancing the Downtown area for all users, including motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The project includes a road diet between Henry Street and Mill Street, and it transformed the previously existing four-lane cross section into a three-lane cross section with one travel lane in each direction and a two way left-turn lane in the center, with on-street parking. In addition to the road diet, signal modifications were made at each of the three signalized intersections (Standley Street, Perkins Street, and Mill Street) to provide vehicle detection, improve coordination, and re-orient the signal equipment to support the road diet alignment. Streetscape improvements on State Street, Perkins Street, and Standley Street included sidewalk widening, curb ramps and bulb outs, street lights, street furniture, and tree planting. Phase 2 is currently being designed for portions of South State Steet (Mill Street to Gobbi Street and Henry Street to Norton Street).

Bikeway Network
Active transportation methods that focus on bicycling and walking should be prioritized to enhance the community, for health or safety reasons, for convenience or necessity, for social reasons, or for just plain fun. An appealing, safe, system of connected bicycles and pedestrian’s facilities are to be enhanced and further developed during the life of the General Plan in order to reduce the negative impacts associated with transportation such as the use of non-­ renewable resources, creation of stormwater and air pollution, and traffic congestion. The attractiveness, safety, and directness of network will encourage people to leave their cars at home and use alternate transportation.

A key goal of the Mobility Element is to enhance bicycle travel throughout Ukiah by completing a citywide network of bikeways consistent with the City of Ukiah’s adopted Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan. In addition, one of the underlying goals of “complete streets” is that all modes of travel, including bicycles, should be adequately accommodated on most city streets, not just streets that are designated as bikeways. Therefore, the provision of bicycle accommodations may occur throughout the city’s transportation network (not limited to designated bikeways), consistent with the recommendations for each functional street classification described within the Mobility Element.

Types of Bikeways
Designated bikeways are routes where an additional level of bicycle accommodation is to be provided. There are four classifications of designated bikeway facilities in California, as defined by the Caltrans:

The City is a municipal water supply agency within the Upper Russian River Watershed. The City is bounded by a number of other agencies, including: Redwood Valley County Water District, Willow County Water District, Millview County Water District, Rogina Water Company, Mendocino County Russian River Flood Control and Water Conservation Improvement District (Flood Control District), and Sonoma County Water Agency. The City provides water service to about 99 percent of the City limits through 5,030 active water service accounts, including residential, commercial, and institutional accounts, and maintains emergency service intertie agreements with Millview and Willow County Water District. The City’s water service area is roughly 3,000 acres or 4.7 square miles in size, with a population of approximately 16, 000 persons. The City’s senior water rights, recycled water program, groundwater facilities, and conservation measures have allowed the City to develop a diverse and resilient water supply portfolio. The City has been able to share a small portion of the water right with neighboring water districts, in times of need.

The City is a member of the Russian River Watershed Association (RRWA), which is a coalition of eleven cities, counties, and special districts in the Russian River watershed that coordinate regional programs for clean water, habitat restoration, and watershed enhancement. RRWA was formed in 2003 to create opportunities for member agencies to expand their stewardship role in the watershed. These member agencies include the Cities of Cloverdale, Cotati, Healdsburg, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, and Ukiah, as well as Mendocino and Sonoma Counties, Sonoma Water, and the Town of Windsor.

Safety Element
To maintain a high quality of life for Ukiah residents, the City must minimize natural hazard risks, such as earthquakes, wildfire, and flooding, as well as man-made hazards, such as noise. Increasingly, climate change is also a risk for which the city must adapt. This Safety Element addresses these risks along with disaster preparedness and emergency response. These actions aim to protect the health and safety of residents and visitors, reduce damage and destruction of public and private property, minimize interruption to important services, protect local ecosystems, and keep the city’s economy diverse and resilient.

Landslides and Liquefaction
When strong ground shaking occurs, it can lead to liquefaction and landslides. Liquefaction occurs when loosely packed, water-logged soil at or near the surface loses its strength in response to ground shaking. This sudden loss of strength can result in major damage to buildings and other structures as the ground underneath loses its stability. Ukiah is not highly susceptible to liquefaction; however, there is moderate risk of liquefaction along creeks and rivers.

The term landslide refers to a wide range of ground movement, including rock falls, deep slope failures, and shallow debris flows. A variety of ground conditions, including soil type, soil strength, and slope height, may predispose slopes for landslide risk. Precipitation, vegetation, human modifications, and groundwater seepage can also affect landslide risk. Landslides can block transportation routes, dam creeks or drainages, and contaminate water supplies pertinent to the City’s operation. With regard to transportation, landslides impacting transportation corridors are not uncommon, especially along highway segments near the Mendocino County – Sonoma County border. When landslides affect transportation routes, they can be difficult to clean-up and create substantial economic or operational impacts.

Landslides have occurred in the Ukiah Valley over the years and geologic studies have revealed several large ancient landslides located in Spanish Canyon, Gibson Canyon, and the Robinson Creek drainage. Steep mountain slopes are susceptible to rapidly moving surface landslides that occur during torrential rains. The risk of these slides is increased when the ground is already saturated by high rainfall and the water becomes trapped between the surface soils and bedrock. The California Geological Survey (CGS) has not yet assessed thepotential for liquefaction and sseismically induced landslides in the Ukiah area. However, information realted to landslide susecptability throughout the state is available in CGS Map Sheet 58.

Wildfire
Mendocino County, like much of California, is highly susceptible to wildfires. Climate conditions, topography and landscape patterns are all key contributors to the fire hazard potential of an area. The regional Mediterranean climate in California creates an environment hospitable to fire development, and the shrubs and trees native to the California landscape are often highly susceptible to burning. Mendocino County has this natural environment of large, forested areas, brush, and mixed chaparral that are conducive to burning. Similarly, the steep terrain on either side of the Ukiah Valley is susceptible to wildland fires. The area is fairly inaccessible to emergency vehicles and consists of manzanita and scrub vegetation with a high oil and fuel content that will burn quickly with extreme heat.

Under dry and/or windy weather conditions a small fire could move quickly through the dry brush and grow out of control. Fires in the Valley’s hilly areas are not only a threat to residences located in the hills but could endanger the more heavily populated areas along the base of the slopes, or even the City of Ukiah itself.

Wildfires in Mendocino County are a common occurrence, with a declared fire season typically lasting from early June to mid or late October. Climate change has exacerbated fire hazard risk by creating warmer temperatures and variations in rainfall, resulting in more intense wildfires. The County has experienced historic wildfires that have burned thousands of acres and resulted in considerable damage to property and human life. The following is a list of recent historic wildfires within close proximity to the City of Ukiah (as shown on Figure 7-4). • August Complex Fires (2020) - The August Complex Fire consisted of multiple wildfires sparked by erratic summer thunderstorms across northern California. The fires burned over 1 million acres across seven counties including over 600,000 acres within the Mendocino National Forest from August through

7. Safety
Final Draft Policy Document | 2022 Page 7-13
November of 2020. The August Complex Fires combined accounted for $319 million in damages and became one of the single-largest wildfire events in California history. • Mendocino Complex Fire - Ranch and River Fires (2018) - The Mendocino Complex Fire consisted of multiple wildfires that burned across northern California in late 2018. The Mendocino Complex Fire burned 410,203 acres over 3 counties, including Mendocino, Colusa, and Glenn Counties. The Ranch Fire, a component of the Mendocino Complex Fire, burned approximately 8 miles northeast of Ukiah. • Redwood Complex Fire (2017) - The Redwood Complex Fire consisted of multiple fires that burned 36,523 acres of land north of Ukiah in Mendocino County. The fire complex destroyed over 500 structures and burned for 21 days.
• Hopkins Fire (2021) - The Hopkins Fire was the result of arson and burned 257 acres of land north of Ukiah.

The fire complex destroyed over 46 structures, and damaged at least 5 more.

Data and mapping of historic wildfires throughout the state is maintained by the California State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection . Additionally, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) LANDFIRE (LF) products (available online) can be used by local jurisdcition in support of strategic vegetation, fire, and fuels management planning to evaluate management alternatives across boundaries and facilitate national- and regional-level strategic planning and reporting of wildland fire management activities.

Severity Zones
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) is the fire department for the California Natural Resources Agency and is responsible for oversight of the State’s private and public forests, as well as providing emergency services to local governments through agreements. CAL FIRE has identified fire hazard severity levels for the areas within its state responsibility area (SRA). Levels may be identified as Moderate Fire Hazard Severity, High Fire Hazard Severity, Very High Fire Hazard Severity, or Unzoned based on a number of factors, such as fuel, slope, fire weather, et. Lands within the City limits are not located within the SRA but are included in the Local Responsibility Area (LRA) and under the jurisdiction of the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority. However, the City of Ukiah contains approximately 387 acres of Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) in an LRA along the western city limits, and is bounded by a VHFHSZ in an SRA to the west. Figure 7-5 depicts the Fire Hazard Severity Zones within the City of Ukiah and the immediate vicinity. CAL FIRE maintains the most up to date Fire Hazard Severity Zones through CAL FIRE’s Fire Resource Assessment Program (FRAP).

There are no critical City facilities or infrastructure currently located within a VHFHSZor in an area lacking service (see Figure 7-5). However, as conveyed on Figure 2-1 of the Land Use Element, areas that contain VHFHSZ lands include Recreational (Low Gap Regional Park and Ukiah Golf Course), Public Facilities (open land and Public uses such as the landfill within future Annexation Areas), Rural Residential, Low-Density Residential, and Hillside Residential Land Uses. Presently, existing development in the VHFHSZ include only recreation opportunities and limited residential and the low-intensity recreational uses listed above.

Although properties within the City limits are not located within an SRA, the City of Ukiah (Ukiah City Code Section 5200) has adopted the SRA regulations for lands within the City limits located in High or VHFHSZs. This includes

development standards contained within Public Resources Code Sections 4290 and 4291, which are designed to provide defensible space and fire protection for new construction and ensure adequate emergency access.

Additionally, theCity’s Hillside Overlay Zoning District (which also generally overlaps lands within VHFHSZs) includes development standards for residential development relating to fire hazards, including increased setbacks, the restriction of using combustible roof materials, water and fire hydrant requirements, slope requirements, etc.

Ukiah is also susceptible to wildfire threats starting outside of the City boundaries. Ukiah is in a region with large stretches of high fire severity hazard zones located to the west, southwest, and northwest. Although the risk from those areas is lessened due to their relative distance from Ukiah, fire in these areas could spread to the city, as demonstrated in recent urban conflagrations in Santa Rosa and Paradise. Brush fires in Ukiah and the surrounding area are common during the summer but are generally extinguished before developed areas sustain much damage.

Large fires in the surrounding area do pose threats to the City of Ukiah.

In 2003, CAL FIRE constructed a shaded fuel break (north to south) along the base of the western hills along the entire length of the city to reduce fuel loads and protect the community from wildfire risk. A shaded fuel break is a forest management strategy used for mitigating the threat of wildfire leading to a dangerous buildup of combustible vegetation. The goal of a shaded fuel break is to thin the surface vegetation, conduct selective thinning, remove dead and down woody material, and remove ladder fuels to prevent a catastrophic fire and prevent the loss of structures. Maintenance was performed on the 100-feet wide, 2.6-mile fuel break in late 2018 and early 2019, with ongoing annual maintenance performed by the property owners and the City.

Fire Protection
Ukiah Valley Fire Authority
The Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA) is responsible for fire protection services within the City of Ukiah and the Ukiah Valley. The UVFA is a consolidated body of two previously separate fire agencies; the City of Ukiah Fire Department and the Ukiah Valley Fire District. As of July 2017, under a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between the City of Ukiah and the Ukiah Valley Fire Protection District, the UVFA became permanently effective as a joint organization to maximize the use of existing resources, reducecosts, and deliver effective fire services. The Agreement jointly manages, equips, maintains and operates all-risk fire, emergency medical and rescue services to the City and Fire District. This relationship was further strengthened in October 2021 when the Mendocino Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) approved the Ukiah Valley Fire Protection District’s annexation of the City of Ukiah. A primary purpose of the annexation was to ensure fiscal stability of fire and emergency medical response services for the long-term benefit of Ukiah Valley residents served by the UVFA.

The service area for UVFA covers approximately 90 square miles, including the city of Ukiah and a majority of the Ukiah Valley. The UVFA is organized into four divisions: Administration, Operations, Training and Safety, and Fire Prevention. There are four fire stations operated by the UVFA, two of which are staffed with career personnel. There are sixteen full-time safety employees, including a Fire Chief, two Battalion Chiefs, six Captains, sixEngineers, and threeFirefighters. The safety employees are supplemented by UVFA’s Volunteer Fire Division, consisting of up to twenty dedicated volunteer firefighters. The UVFA responds to fires, medical emergencies, traffic collisions, technical rescues, hazardous materials, explosions, floods and earthquakes, as well as non-emergency public service calls, through a consistent state of readiness. Volunteer Firefighters participate in training activities and augment career staffing during emergency and non-emergency activities.

CAL FIRE Mendocino Unit
The majority of areas within Mendocino County are considered State Responsibility Areas for fire protection. The CAL FIREMendocino Unit is geographically divided into six battalions. During the fire season, the CAL FIRE Mendocino Unit includes approximately 125 career personnel and approximately 120 seasonal personnel. The unit has 10 fire stations, 16 engines, 5 bulldozers, and other fire suppression equipment. CAL FIREhas two stations in the planning area: one just North of Hopland and one north of Ukiah on North State Street near Hensley Creek.

The Ukiah Valley includes the densest population centers in Mendocino County, including the city of Ukiah. CAL FIRE works in coordination with the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority to mitigate the fire hazards and protect the community from fire-related damage.

Mutual Aid Agreements
The UVFAprimarily serves residents and property within the District and City jurisdictional boundaries. However, due to the critical need for rapid response in emergency situations, when a call for service is received, the nearest available response unit is dispatched regardless of jurisdictional boundary. Therefore, the UVFAresponse area is larger than the UVFAand the City boundaries based on the Countywide Mutual Aid System. Mutual aid refers to reciprocal service and support provided to another agency upon request under a mutual aid agreement between one

or more agencies. Automatic aid differs in that no request for aid is necessary for reciprocal service and support between agencies within the automatic aid agreement. These types of pre-arrangements allow for the dispatch and use of additional equipment and personnel that a single jurisdiction cannot provide on its own and also entails a reciprocal return of resources when needed.

According to the 2015 Mendocino County Community Wildfire Protection Plan, the UVFAis within Mutual Aid/Planning Zone 2, which includes the City of Ukiah, Ukiah Valley Fire District, Potter Valley Community Services District, Redwood Valley-Calpella Fire District, and Hopland Fire Protection District. The UVFA maintains verbal mutual aid agreements with the Redwood Valley-Calpella Fire District, Hopland Fire Protection District, Potter Valley Community Services District and Little Lake Fire Protection District, as well as an automatic aid agreement with CAL FIRE. In addition to the local mutual aid system, the UVFA participates in the California Fire Service and Rescue Emergency Mutual Aid System for wildland fire incidents throughout the State. UVFA responds to out-of-County fire incidents upon request and when the remaining equipment and personnel are capable of providing adequate service levels in the District and City boundaries.

Lastly, the UVFA participates in the following regional and service-specific associations and organizations:
• The Fire Chief is an active member of the Mendocino County Fire Chief’s Association, the Mendocino County Association of Fire Districts, the Fire Districts Association of California, and the California Fire Chiefs Association.
• The District is a sponsor of the Mendocino Fire Safe Council.

Below are examples of the UVFA’s interagency collaborative arrangements and efforts:
• Actively participates in Redwood Empire Hazardous Incident Team. • Is a County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) System participant. • Works with CAL FIRE in implementing vegetation fuel management grants to reduce vegetative fire hazards in and around the District, such as when the District as part of the UVFA cooperated with CAL FIRE on the Western Hills Fuel Break.

Regional Wildfire Plans
Regional plans also contribute to wildfire mitigation and readiness of the area. Mendocino County has three regional fire plans:

CAL FIRE Mendocino Unit Strategic Fire Plan. The Mendocino Unit Strategic Fire Plan was developed in 2020 by the CAL FIREMendocino Unit. It is focused on fire suppression capabilities and proposed pre-fire projects to reduce future fire impacts. The Plan expands on the broad goals set forth in the 2019 Strategic Fire Plan for California to establish an appropriate community context and was most recently updated in 2021.

The Mendocino County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (MCCWPP). The MCCWPP (2015) is a cooperative effort of the Mendocino County Fire Safe Council and CAL FIRE’s Mendocino Unit, with input from local fire departments and engaged citizens. The Plan establishes goals and policies for pre-fire projects, local fire safe councils, mutual aid agreements and relationships, and establishes a Community Wildland Protection Plan.

Mendocino County Fire Vulnerability Analysis: The overall goal of the Mendocino County Fire Vulnerability Assessment (FVA) is to prevent loss of life, minimize property damage caused by wildfires and reduce recovery effort spending. To accomplish this, County areas and populations that are most vulnerable to fire (critical facilities, infrastructure, commercial buildings, vulnerable population locations and private property (residential units) have been identified and recommendations are made on how to improve the County’s existing strategies and practices.

See Section 7.6, Emergency Planning, below for a discussion of other regional and local hazard mitigation and emergency response plans, including information related to evacuation. Water supply, fire protection and emergency response is also further discussed in Section 5.1 Water, andSection 5.6 Emergency Services in the Public Facilities, Services, and Infrastructure Element.

Emergency Planning and Awareness
The State of California requires all municipal governments to prepare and plan for potential emergencies including natural, man-made, and health-related events. Ukiah seeks to keep residents, property, and infrastructure as safe as possible in the event of a disaster through land use controls, hazard mitigation and emergency response efforts, and community programs. The City also works with Mendocino County on a number of plans and programs to coordinate preparedness efforts and resources. Emergency preparedness efforts in Ukiah include:
• Participation in the Mendocino County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan • Participation in the North Coast Opportunities Disaster Preparedness Training Programs • Training for residents in community preparedness and resilience skills • Upgrades to structures to comply with building and fire codes • Support for and information on creating a Family Disaster Plan for residents In addition to the plans discussed in Section 7.5, Wildfire above, Mendocino County, as well as the City of Ukiah maintains multiple emergency planning documents to prepare for regional emergency events and hazard risks. The Mendocino County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) was adopted in 2020 and includes a hazard mitigation assessment and report for Ukiah. In addition to the MJHMP, Mendocino County maintains a regional Emergency Operations Plan consistent with State guidelines. A summary of these plans is provided below.

Mendocino County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) and the City’s Jurisdictional Annex (Local Hazard Mitigation Plan): The MJHMP provides a discusison 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 MJHMP (and the City’s Jurisdictional Annex, which serves as the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) was developed in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and followed FEMA’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan guidance. Within the City’s Annex, hazards are identified and profiled, people and facilities at risk are analyzed, and mitigation actions are developed to reduce or eliminate hazard risk. The implementation of these mitigation actions, which include both short and long-term strategies, involve planning, policy changes, programs, projects, and other activities. The City of Ukiah adopted its jurisdictional annex chapter of the MJHMP on November 18, 2020. Hazards identified for the City of Ukiah include earthquakes, wildfire, dam failure, flood and pandemic. Table 1-13 of the City’s jurisdictional annex lists each hazard and mitigation action for City of Ukiah.

Mendocino County Fire Vulnerability Assessment: As discussed in Section 7.5 Wildfireabove, wildland fires in Mendocino County have historically burned thousands of acres and engendered considerable property loss with occasional loss of life. The overall goal of the Mendocino County Fire Vulnerability Assessment (FVA), which was

7. Safety
Final Draft Policy Document | 2022 Page 7-23
adopted in August 2020, is to prevent loss of life, minimize property damage caused by wildfires and reduce recovery effort spending. To accomplish this, County areas and populations that are most vulnerable to fire have been identified and recommendations are made on how to improve the County’s existing strategies and practices.

The Mendocino County Fire Vulnerability Assessment also lists and provides addresses for all critical public facilities and infrastructure.

Mendocino County/Operational Area Emergency Operations Plan (EOP): The Mendocino County EOP was adopted in September, 2016, and is in the process of being updated by the County. The Mendocino County EOP addresses response to and short term recovery from disasters and emergency situations affecting the Mendocino County Operational Area, which consists of the cities, special districts and the unincorporated areas of the County. This document serves as the legal and conceptual framework for emergency management in the Mendocino County Operational Area. However, notes that there are a number of separately published documents that support the EOP.

The Mendocino Evacuation Plan: The Mendocino Evacuation Plan (July, 2020) is an annex to the EOP and identifies evacuation routes within the County. This Plan describes existign conditions, access concerns, and strategies for managing evacuations which exceed the day-to-day capabilities of the various public safety agencies in Mendocino County. The City of Ukiah is identified as being located within “Planning Area 2” and “Zone 2f” of the Evacuation Plan. A detailed disucssion of Planning Area 2, including climate, disaster history, access issues, evacuation routes, and critical infrastructure and facilities is provided within the Evacuation Plan (p.72).

City of Ukiah Emergency Operation Plan: The City of Ukiah Emergency Operation Plan (May, 2021) is designed to ensure continuity of operations and essential services, such as police, fire, utilities, and other day-to-day operations during and after an emergency or disaster. This plan was developed in consultation with the Ukiah Disaster Council it complies with all local ordinances, state law, and aligns with contemporary emergency planning guidance. This plan serves as the primary guide for reducing emergency and disaster risk within the City of Ukiah, and establishes roles and procdeures for deployment of the City’s Emergency Operations Center. A current map of evacuation zones and routes is also maintained on the City of Ukiah’s Office of Emergency Management webpage.

Additioanlly, a map of evacuation zones, and critical infrastructure such as hospitals, fire stations and law enforcement facilities is also maintained online by the County of Mendocino through their public Geographic Information System (GIS) portal.The following goals and policies address emergency planning and awareness in Ukiah. Emergency response is also further discussed in Section 5.6, Emergency Services, in the Public Facilities, Services, and Infrastructure Element.

Goals and Policies
To ensure that the City is adequately prepared for emergencies of any variety through effective planning measures. (Source: New Goal)

Evacuation Route Coordination
The City shall coordinate with the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority to review, update, and periodically exercise emergency access, protocols, and evacuation routes and associated plans to assess their effectiveness. (Source: New Policy)
Hazard Mitigation Plan
The City shall continue to participate in and implement the Mendocino County Hazard Mitigation Plan to ensure maximum preparedness for hazard events. (Source: New Policy) Locally Focused Plans
The City shall maintain and implement locally focused plans, including an Emergency Operations Plan, to maintain consistency with State and Federal requirements. This shall include developing a plan for repopulation and redevelopment after large disaster events. (Source: New Policy) Noise
The noise environment within a community often plays a significant role in the quality of life for residents and workers. When noise levels are excessive, they are often perceived as intrusive or irritating. Perception of noise is highly variable and can be influenced by the time of day, distance from the noise source, qualities of the noise source, and characteristics of the noise receptor. Given the range of factors that can impact noise perception, public agencies typically establish their noise standards in a manner that considers timing, receptor-types, and source-types.

Sensitive noise receptors are of critical significance to the assessment of noise within a community. Sensitive receptors are key locations or peoplewithin a community that may have increased sensitivity to noise levels.

Sensitive receptors typically include, but are not limited to, schools, libraries, residences, hospitals, daycare facilities, elderly housing, and convalescent facilities. Cities and counties can protect the sensitive receptors within their communities by adopting land use policies that mandate the placement of significant noise producers away from sensitive receptors or require noise mitigation.

Noise Measurement
Noise is typically described in terms of the loudness (amplitude) of the sound and frequency (pitch) of the sound.

Noise loudness is measured in decibels (dB). Decibels (dB) are based on a logarithmic scale that condenses the range in sound pressure levels to a more usable number range. A weighted decibel (dBA) is an additional measure of sound that adjusts the sound rating scale to levels consistent with the sensitivity range of the human ear. For example, people perceive a sound 10 dBA higher than another sound as being twice as loud, and 20 dBA higher as being four times as loud, and so forth. Everyday sounds normally range from 30 dBA (very quiet) to 100 dBA (very loud).

In California, land use compatibility is primarily measured using Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL). The CNEL rating is the average sound level over a 24-hour period, with a penalty of 5 dB added between 7 pm and 10 pm,

Future (2040) Noise Contours
[Description of changes to noise environment based on general plan buildout] The future noise contours for the City of Ukiah are depicted in Figure 7-8 below. Implementation of Ukiah 2040 could result in additional buildout, which would generate new vehicle trips that could incrementally increase the exposure of land uses along roadways to traffic noise. The traffic noise increase shown in Figure 7-8 results from the difference between the projected future noise level and the existing noise levels. The following Ukiah 2040 proposed goals and polices are intended to help reduce traffic-related noise associated with future buildout.

FF Airport Disclosure
The City shall prepare an ordinance
requiring that the following statement be
included in all property transactions or as
a part of the issuance of use permits for
property or projects within the airport's
area of influence, both core and
peripheral.
• This project/residence is in close
proximity to the Ukiah Municipal
Airport which is a major noise
generating source. Development
in this area will be subject to
overflights of aircraft taking off
from and landing at the airport.

These aircraft include privatelyowned corporate jets and firefighting air tankers from the
California Department of Forestry.

It is anticipated that the volume of
traffic and resulting noise may
increase in future years."
