Summary: The City Council will conduct a public hearing and consider the Planning Commission's recommendation to adopt the Resolution adopting an Addendum to the 2021 Western Hills Project Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH No. 2021040428); and to approve the amendment to the Western Hills Annexation Area, proposed prezoning, and associated actions, as described below. Additionally, Council will consider authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute the Property Purchase Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions for the associated parcel.
Background: The City has a vision and goal to protect Ukiah’s western wildland urban interface, to preserve open space and conserve forest and stream ecosystems, provide large-scale wildfire mitigation, and to protect the Upper Russian River Watershed, while facilitating orderly development to reduce sprawl and to benefit wildlife resources for the greater Ukiah community. This vision and goal(s) is supported by the following plans:
2040 General Plan; City Council’s Strategic Plan; City Annexation Policies; City’s Climate Initiative; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Plan; Groundwater Sustainability Plan; and the Ukiah Valley Area Plan. Specifically, this
project supports:
2040 General Plan
• LU 6 Hillside Access “To preserve the natural character of hillside development areas” • LU 7 To ensure orderly and timely growth…
• LU 8 Growth Management
• LU 11.3 Neighborhood Character “…complement views from US101” • LU 13 Ensure all have equal access to green spaces…
• ED 4.1 Supporting Tourism
• PFS 1 Maintain safe and adequate water…
• PFS 1.1 Water Storage (tank sites)
• PFS 12 To provide parks…
• PFS 12.3 Equitable access to parks…
City’s Climate Initiatives
• 4.a Implement Nature Based Solutions
• 4.b. Maintain Wild Lands
• 4.d. Enhance Carbon Sequestration Capacity
• 7.a. Expand Sustainable Water Practices.
• 10.a. Fire Prevention “including the acquisition of open space...” Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Plan
Current goals are process oriented and include:
• Clean Air
• Clean Water
• Access to Open Space
Groundwater Sustainability Plan
• 4.3.2.4 City of Ukiah Western Hills Source Water Protection The current hydrology of the western hills of the Ukiah Valley is a major driver for recharging the underlying aquifer. Preserving these properties will protect these important resources.
Ukiah Valley Area Plan, Section 2:
• Vision: The scenic viewsheds of the Valley are preserved. • Vision: The natural beauty of the Ukiah Valley is conserved and enhanced and viewscapes of the forested western hills are protected.
Towards achievement of these goals, and at the direction of the City Council, over the last several years the City has been acquiring lands immediately adjacent to the western city limits, known as the “Western Hills,” with the purpose of annexing such lands into the city limits for open space preservation, public purposes, wildfire protection, and for the potential of limited orderly development. Specifically, the City is proposing to annex ±792 acres known as the "Western Hills Annexation Area," as amended, which comprises both Cityowned and privately-owned property.
The Western Hills Annexation Area was originally established via approval of the Western Hills Open Land Acquisition and Limited Development Agreement Project (2021 Western Hills Project), which included acquisition and annexation of 707 acres, and was approved by the City Council on September 15, 2021.
Additionally, the Western Hills Annexation Area was formalized in the 2040 General Plan (adopted by Council on December 7, 2022) and identified as one of the three areas the City intends to pursue for annexation. In addition to the 2021 Western Hills Project parcels (707 acres), 44 acres of privately owned parcels, referred to as the “clean up parcels,” were included in the Western Hills Annexation Area to rectify jurisdictional issues (resulting in a total of 752 acres) as requested by the Mendocino County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo). In June 2022, the City of Ukiah submitted an application for annexation to LAFCo for annexation of the Western Hills Annexation Area (LAFCo No. A-2022-02).
An additional 40-acre parcel (APN 003-190-11) directly adjacent (south) of the Western Hills Project and City’s western city limit became available for purchase in 2023, and City Council directed Staff to seek acquisition of the parcel for open space and access opportunities in connection with the open space parcels within the Western Hills Annexation Area. As a part of the project, the City proposes to enter into a Property Purchase Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (Purchase Agreement) with the private property owner that would allow 15 acres to be transferred back to Hull for development of up to three parcels that could potentially be developed with one single-family dwelling and one accessory dwelling unit each in the future (resulting in the potential for six total units).
At their November 8, 2023, regular meeting, the Planning Commission considered approval of the amendment to the Western Hills Annexation Area (to include the 40-acre parcel), proposed prezoning, as well as adoption of an Addendum to the 2021 Western Hills Project Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH No. 2021040428). At the conclusion of the meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Addendum to the 2021 MND and approval of the amendment to the Western Hills Annexation Area.
However, the Planning Commission also recommended to the City Council that the project be approved with one development parcel instead of three, resulting in the possibility of one single-family dwelling and one ADU.
The Staff Report prepared for the November 8, 2023, Planning Commission, which includes a detailed Project Description, is included in Attachment 1. Attachments to the Staff Report plus the Commission's discussion and recommendation to the City Council can be accessed online at:
https://ukiahca.portal.civicclerk.com/event/1663/overview.
Discussion: Per Ukiah City Code (UCC), approval of the amendment to the Western Hills Annexation Area, prezoning, and adoption of the Addendum is to be considered and acted upon by the City Council. Council also has the authority to approve the Purchase Agreement between the City of Ukiah and the property owner.
These actions are further discussed below. A detailed analysis of these actions is included in the Staff Analysis section of the November 8, 2023, Planning Commission Staff Report. Findings for City Council approval of the proposed actions are included in Attachment 2, and the Conditions of Approval are included in Attachment 3. A draft Resolution approving these actions is included in Attachment 4.
Amendment of the Western Hills Annexation Area
Since approval of the 2021 Western Hills Project, 84 acres have been added to the Western Hills Annexation Area, as described below. The additional acreage, in combination with the other components summarized below, constitute the “Revised Project." Project Maps, including a location map and prezoning map, as well as a list of parcels proposed for inclusion, are included in Attachment 5.
The City proposes to amend the Western Hills Annexation Area to include one 40-acre parcel, resulting in a total acreage of 792 acres (see Table 1 included in Attachment 1 for a list of parcels). 25 acres of the property would be owned by the City and maintained for open space and municipal purposes, while 15 acres would be transferred to the private property owner (Hull) via a Purchase Agreement between the City and Hull, and would allow Hull to retain one approximately 15-acre parcel for limited residential development. See Purchase Agreement discussion for more information.
As discussed in the November 8, 2023, Planning Commission Staff Report, the 40-acre parcel proposed for
inclusion is contiguous to the existing city limits and Western Hills Annexation Area, consistent with Government Code and LAFCo policies related to annexation. The Revised Project is also consistent with General Plan Goals ENV-1, ENV-4, LU-6, LU-7, LU-8 and LU-9 (and Polices ENV 1.2, LU 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.1,
7.2 and 8.1) which support annexation and orderly development of lands contiguous to the city limits, as well as open space preservation, protection of hillsides and development of all housing types. See Findings in Attachment 2 for further details.
Approval of Purchase Agreement
The City’s goals and benefits associated with this Purchase Agreement include: (1) preserving property in the Western Hills as open space and watershed for the Ukiah Valley; (2) creating opportunities for access trails, including, but not limited to, public hiking, biking, and associated recreational activities; (3) developing public facilities for various municipal purposes provided that their development and use do not unreasonably conflict or interfere with the preservation of the property as open space and for watershed protection. Additionally, another motivating factor to increasing City ownership of property in the Western Hills is to gain control of fire mitigation activities. The impacts of this forty-acre acquisition adds to the property that the City will have the ability to easily maintain. For more information, a list of responses to ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ can be referred to in Attachment 6.
After the Planning Commission meeting in November, Staff presented the recommendation from the Planning Commission to the property owner regarding limiting the 15-acre development property to one parcel. This recommendation was found not to be economically feasible with the existing drafted Purchase Agreement.
Reducing the development property from the potential of three parcels to one parcel would constitute a significant change in the terms of the drafted agreement and would result in the property owner no longer being willing to participate in the transaction.
As such, Staff proposes the allowance of three development parcels, as originally presented to the Planning Commission. Under the Purchase Agreement, Hull will retain the right to create and develop three parcels with one single family home and one accessory dwelling unit on each parcel (six total possible units), in accordance with Single-Family Residential-Hillside Overlay (R1-H) zoning regulations. The parcels would be created within the eastern portion of the existing 40-acre parcel. However, the exact location of the potential residential units is not known at this time and, likewise, it does not include specific development designs or proposals, nor does it grant any entitlements for development. The Purchase Agreement also specifies the property owner’s water rights, as well as utility and access easements for both parties. While the easements allow for future public access opportunities, no such uses are proposed at this time. The draft Purchase Agreement, in its substantial form, is included in Attachment 7, and if authorized, the City Manager will finalize the document, and its associated attachments. Funding for the acquisition is being provided by donations from Adventist Health Ukiah Valley, the Ukiah Valley Trail Group, and also from the CIty's water enterprise fund capital reserves, resulting in no expected net fiscal impact to the general fund. A budget adjustment is required to anticipate the donation revenue and increase the appropriation for the acquisition.
Approval of Prezoning
Consistent with Government Code Section 65859 and Ukiah City Code Section 9267, the City may prezone unincorporated territory adjoining the city for the purpose of determining the zoning, which will apply to such property in the event of subsequent annexation to the City.
City Staff recommends prezoning the 15 acres associated with the Purchase Agreement as Low Density Residential-Hillside Overlay (R1-H). The remaining 25 acres (that would remain owned by the City) is proposed for Public Facility (PF) zoning district prezoning. Lastly, the 44-acres (“clean up parcels”) would transition to R1-H. The parcels were included in the General Plan and associated EIR, but have not been formally prezoned via City Council Resolution, as required by LAFCo. These parcels are proposed for R1-H prezoning for consistency with existing and adjacent development but would remain under private ownership and are not included in the Development Agreement (2021) or Purchase Agreement (2023).
As discussed in the November 8, 2023, Planning Commission Staff Report, the proposed uses and prezoning
are consistent with surrounding uses and zoning.
Addendum to the 2021 Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration Pursuant to Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, an Addendum to an adopted MND may be prepared by a lead agency or a responsible agency if minor changes or additions are necessary and none of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or subsequent MND have occurred. In this instance, an Addendum to the 2021 Western Hills Project ISMND (SCH No: 2021040428) has been prepared (included in Attachment 8). The 2021 MND analyzed the acquisition, annexation, prezoning and development potential (up to 14 residential units) associated with the 2021 Western Hills Project. The 2021 MND was approved by City Council on September 15, 2021, and can be accessed online at: https://cityofukiah.com/ukiah-western-hills-open-land-acquisition-limited-developmentagreement-project/.
As discussed in the Planning Commission Staff Report and Addendum, none of the criteria noted in CEQA Guidelines 15162 have occurred, and only minor changes are necessary in order to deem the Addendum to the certified MND adequate. Specifically, there are no substantial changes proposed that require major revisions of the 2021 MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
In summary, the Revised Project proposes to include additional properties immediately adjacent to the original project within the Western Hills Annexation Area, resulting in the potential for six additional residential units, compared to the 14 potential units analyzed within the Western Hills 2021 MND. As discussed throughout the Addendum, impacts from the Revised Project are equal to, or less than, those described for the original project. The Revised Project will incorporate mitigation identified in the 2021 MND to reduce all impacts to a less than significant level. No new impacts that were not previously discussed in the 2021 MND have been identified. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 also states that an Addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the certified MND for consideration by the hearing body. The Addendum is included in Attachment 8.
Recommended Action: Adopt a Resolution to Adopt an Addendum to the Ukiah Western Hills Open Land Acquisition and Limited Development Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH No. 2021040428); Approve an Amendment of the Western Hills Annexation Area to Include APN 003-190-11; and Prezone Parcels to Public Facility (“PF”) Zoning District and Low Density Residential-Hillside Overlay Zoning District (“R1-H”); and Authorization for the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute the Property Purchase Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions between the City of Ukiah and David J.

Staff Report
Western Hills Annexation Area Amendment
2 BACKGROUND
Over the last several years, the City has been acquiring lands immediately adjacent to the western City limits, known as the “Western Hills” with the purpose of annexing such lands into the City limits for open space preservation, public purposes, wildfire protection, and limited orderly development potential. Specifically, the City is proposing to annex ±792 acres known as the “Western Hills Annexation Area”, as amended, which comprises both City-owned and privatelyowned property (See Project Description Section below for more information). Below includes a summary of actions associated with the Western Hills Annexation Area to date. • At the August 25, 2021, regular meeting, the Planning Commission considered approval of the Western Hills Open Land Acquisition and Limited Development Agreement Project (2021 Western Hills Project), associated prezoning and Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISMND; State Clearinghouse No. 2021040428), and recommended approval for these actions to the City Council. The 2021 Western Hills Project included acquisition and annexation of ±707 acres for open space, public purposes, and the potential for limited residential development.
• On September 15, 2021, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1217, approving the 2021 Western Hills Project, associated prezoning and ISMND via Ordinance No. 1217.
The ISMND (referred to the “2021 MND” in this Staff Report) can be found online at:
https://cityofukiah.com/ceqa-review/.
• On June 8, 2022, the City of Ukiah submitted an application for annexation to the Mendocino County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) for annexation of the 2021 Western Hills Project parcels, in accordance with the terms identified in the Development Agreement. In addition to the parcels identified as a part of the Western Hills Annexation Area, the application for annexation (LAFCo No. A-2022-02) included several privately-owned parcels (±44 acres total) located in between the 2021 Western Hills Project parcels and the County’s jurisdictional boundary, to inform the deliberate and appropriate boundaries and growth for the City of Ukiah. Some of these parcels also span both City and County jurisdiction and the City proposes to annex them to rectify this jurisdictional issue.
• On December 7, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-78 and Resolution No. 79, adopting the City’s 2040 General Plan and certifying the associated Environmental Impact Report (EIR; SCH No. 2022050556). The 2040 General Plan and EIR identify the Western Hills Annexation Area as one of the three areas the City intends to pursue for annexation (see EIR Section 2.2.7). The 44 acres of privately owned parcels intended to rectify jurisdictional issues (“clean up parcels”) were included in the Western Hills Annexation Area within the General Plan and EIR. The General Plan and EIR can be found online at https://ukiah2040.com/.
• On December 19, 2022, LAFCo approved the City’s Ukiah Municipal Service Review (MSR) and Sphere of Influence (SOI) Update. The updated SOI includes the entire Western Hills Annexation Area identified within the General Plan (original 707 acres, in addition to the 44 acres of “clean up parcels”).
• An additional 40-acre parcel (APN 003-190-11) directly adjacent (south) to the Western Hills Project and City’s western City limit became available for purchase in 2023, and on May 3, 2023, the City Council approved the City seeking acquisition of the parcel for open space and access opportunities in connection with the Western Hills open space parcels.
This parcel is proposed for inclusion in the Western Hills Annexation Area, as described below.
Staff Report
Western Hills Annexation Area Amendment
3 At this time, the Planning Commission is being asked to consider making a recommendation to the City Council to: 1) adopt the Addendum to the 2021 Western Hills Project Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH No. 2021040428); and 2) to approve the amendment to the Western Hills Annexation Area, and proposed prezoning, as described below. If approved by Council, the City will amend its application of annexation to LAFCo for consideration.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Since approval of the 2021 Western Hills Project, 84 acres have been added to the Western Hills Annexation Area, as described below. The additional acreage, in combination with the other components summarized below, constitute the “Revised Project”. Project Figures and Maps, including a location map and prezoning map are included in Attachment 3. • Amending the Western Hills Annexation Area to include one 40-acre parcel, resulting in a total acreage of 792 acres (see Table 1 below for a list of parcels). 25 acres of the property would be owned by the City and maintained for open space and municipal purposes. • 15 acres would be transferred to the private property owner (Hull) via a Purchase Agreement between the City and Hull would allow Hull to retain one +/- 15-acre parcel (via a Lot Line Adjustment) after annexation.
o Hull would be able to retain the right to create and develop three parcels with one single family home and one accessory dwelling unit (six total possible units), in accordance with Single-Family Residential-Hillside Overlay (R1-H) zoning regulations. The parcels would be created within the eastern portion of the existing 40-acre parcel, but the location of the potential residential units is not known at this time, as it does not include specific development designs or proposals, nor does it grant any entitlements for development.
o The Purchase Agreement will also specify the property owner’s water rights, as well as utility and access easements. Whie the easement will allow for future trail opportunities, no such uses are proposed at this time.
• Prezoning the 15 acres associated with the Purchase Agreement as Single-Family Residential-Hillside Overlay (R1-H), and the remaining 25 acres (that would remain owned by the City) as Public Facilities (PF).
• Prezoning the 44-acres (“clean up parcels”) to R1-H. The parcels were included in the General Plan and associated EIR, but have not been formally prezoned via City Council Resolution, as required by LAFCo. These parcels are proposed for R1-H prezoning for consistency with existing and adjacent development but would remain under private ownership and are not included in the Development Agreement (2021) or Purchase Agreement (2023).
• Amending the City’s annexation application (LAFCo No. A-2022-02) to include the 40-acre parcel and other items noted as incomplete for submittal to LAFCo.
Please refer to the comprehensive Project Description in the Addendum to the approved 2021 MND prepared for the Revised Project, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, for more information (Addendum is included in Attachment 4 and discussed more in the Environmental Documentation Section below).

5 SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING
The parcels are currently located outside of the City of Ukiah limits, within unincorporated Mendocino County, currently carry a Remote Residential, 40 Acre Minimum (“RMR40”) land use designation within the Ukiah Valley Area Plan (UVAP; 2011) and the existing zoning is Upland Residential, 40-acre minimum (“UR:40”). Lands to the north (with the exception of the northeastern-most boundary), west and south are largely undeveloped but contain some rural residential development within unincorporated Mendocino County. To the east, the Project is bounded by lands within the City of Ukiah developed with single family housing and zoned SingleFamily Residential-Hillside Overlay District (R1-H). A summary of surrounding land uses and zoning designations is provided below in Table 2. Existing General Plan and Zoning Maps may be accessed online at: https://cityofukiah.com/community-development/policies-documentsmaps/ .
Table 2, Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses
STAFF ANALYSIS
General Plan Consistency. Since approval of the original 2021 Western Hills Project and MND, the City adopted its 2040 General Plan (December, 2022). As a part of the General Plan, the Western Hills Annexation Area (including the 707 acres within the original project and MND, as well as the additional 44 acres of “clean up” parcels), the City’s Sphere of Influence (SOI) and Planning Area were also updated and analyzed. The updated (now existing) boundaries of the SOI include the 707 acres included in the original project, and Western Hills Annexation Area.
The 40 acres proposed as a part of the Revised Project were not included in the amended SOI, nor the Western Hills Annexation Area identified in the General Plan and associated EIR.
However, the 40 acres would be owned by the City at the time of annexation and is within the City’s updated Planning Area, consistent with the intent of Government Code Section 56742.
Additionally,
The 2021 Western Hills Project was determined to be consistent with the City’s General plan (1995) and planned growth anticipated within it. Further, as noted above, annexation of this area was built into the City’s new (2040) General Plan. The proposed 40-acre parcel being included in the Western Hills Annexation Area would result in a more orderly, contiguous and less peninsular annexation area than the current configuration, which is supported by LAFCo policies.
The Revised Project is also consistent with General Plan Goals ENV-1, ENV-4, LU-6, LU-7, LU8 and LU-9 (and Polices ENV 1.2, LU 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.1, 7.2 and 8.1) which support annexation and orderly development of lands contiguous to the City limits, as well as open space ZONING: USE:

6 preservation, protection of hillsides and development of all housing types. See Findings in Attachment 1 for further detail.
Prezoning. Government Code Section 65859 allows the City to adopt a zoning district for land outside of the city limits in anticipation of annexation and development (i.e., prezone). Under the provisions of the Government Code, the zoning district adopted by the City does not become effective unless and until the land is annexed into the City. UCC §9267, Prezoning, states that the City may prezone unincorporated territory adjoining the City for the purpose of determining the zoning which will apply to such property in the event of subsequent annexation to the City.
This section of the UCC states that the Planning Commission shall formulate a recommendation to the City Council, and the Council shall conduct a public hearing to consider the prezoning proposal, and shall render a decision accordingly.
The current County land use designation is Remote Residential, 40 Acre Minimum (“RMR-40”) and the existing County zoning designation is Upland Residential, 40-acre minimum (“UR-40”).
These designations are intended to be applied to lands having constraints for commercial agriculture, timber production or grazing, and are well suited for small scale farming and low density agricultural and residential uses. Both the existing RMR-40 land use designation and UR40 zoning designation allow for one dwelling unit (and one ADU) per 40 acres.
The 25 acres (of the 40-acre parcel) that would remain under City ownership for open space and municipal purposes would be prezoned as Public Facilities (PF), with a corresponding Public (P) General Plan land use designation. The P General Plan land use designation and PF zoning encompass lands within the City that are owned by the City and/or contain open space and parks, as well as other public facilities or municipal services. Because the portion that would ultimately owned by the City and intended for municipal purposes, the PF prezoning (and P General Plan land use designation) is appropriate.
The remaining 15 acres that would be transferred to the private property owner and could allow for limited residential development under a Purchase Agreement is proposed for Single-Family Residential-Hillside Overlay (R1-H) prezoning with a corresponding Hillside Residential (HR) General Plan (2040) land use designation. The Hillside Residential (HR) land use designation replaces previous (1995 General Plan) Rural Residential designation in areas in the hillsides west of Highland Avenue and Park Boulevard, with a maximum allowable density of one dwelling unit per gross acre. The intent of this designation is to allow for single-family residential at a lower density to align with the goal of reducing development in designated High Fire Hazard Areas. The Hillside Overlay District (-H or R1-H) is intended to encourage planning, design, and development while preserving natural physical features and minimizing potential safety, water runoff and soil erosion concerns associated with the natural terrain.
The Purchase Agreement associated with the Revised Project would allow creation of three development parcels (in accordance with R1-H standards and the Subdivision Map Act) within the 15 easternmost acres of the 40-acre parcel and would further restrict development to one single family dwelling per parcel and one ADU (except for in cases were the slope exceeds 50 percent, per the City’s Hillside Overlay Ordinance). All development within the R1-H district requires discretionary review (Planning Commission approval) and would be subject to all R1-H development regulations (including slope, density, setbacks, height, fire safety and water requirements, access requirements, etc.) contained within the Hillside Overlay District.
Development within the Hillside Overlay District also includes submittal of the following: soil and geological reports, subsurface investigations, grading plans, vegetation reports, grading plans, hydrology reports, and structure elevations. Each home would require approval of a Use Permit
Staff Report
Western Hills Annexation Area Amendment
7 and/or Site Development Permit by the Planning Commission as well as a Building Permit, which includes additional review and approval by County and City departments.
The privately-owned ±44 acres (“clean up parcels”) that are included in the Western Hills Annexation Area are proposed for R1-H zoning. The existing zoning is Upland Residential, 40- acre minimum (“UR:40”). However, all of the parcels are currently existing nonconforming to the 40-acre requirement, as the median size of these parcels is 0.94 acres due to them being unincorporated remnants of lots already developed within the City along Lookout Drive. Because the parcels are developed with single-family residences (or associated with developed residences) within the Western Hills area and surrounded by other R1-H properties, the proposed Hillside Residential land use designation and R1-H zoning designations are appropriate for these parcels.
Conclusion. For the reasons discussed above, the Project would be consistent with the City’s General Plan, Zoning Code, the County’s UVAP, as well as the Government Code and LAFCo policies related to annexation and prezoning. The Ukiah City Code does not identify specific findings required for annexation or prezoning, but Draft Findings supporting Staff’s recommendation are included in Attachment 1. Draft Conditions of Approval can be found in Attachment 2.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, an Addendum to an adopted MND may be prepared by a lead agency or a responsible agency if minor changes or additions are necessary and none of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or subsequent MND have occurred.
In this instance, an Addendum to the 2021 Western Hills Project ISMND (SCH No: 2021040428) has been prepared. The 2021 MND analyzed the acquisition, annexation, prezoning and development potential (up to 14 residential units) associated with the 2021 Western Hills Project.
The 2021 MND was approved by City Council on September 15, 2021 and can be accessed online at: https://cityofukiah.com/ukiah-western-hills-open-land-acquisition-limited-developmentagreement-project/.
The Western Hills Annexation Area was identified as “Annexation Area C” within the City’s 2040 General Plan and associated EIR, and included the original 707 acres associated with the 2021 Western Hills Project, as well as the 44 acres of “clean up” parcels added after approval of the 2021 Western Hills Project. The EIR analyzed annexation of this area, as well as the associated prezoning, and adoption of the new Sphere of Influence and Planning Area. Because the addition of the 44 acres was analyzed within the EIR and no change to those parcels are proposed as a part of the Revised Project, further analysis of these parcels is not required, and not included within the Addendum. However, the EIR is referenced in certain sections of the Addendum, as appropriate. The EIR can be accessed online at: https://ukiah2040.com/documents.html.
The Addendum (Draft) is included in Attachment 4 and includes a discussion of impacts identified in the 2021 MND, as well as a discussion of impacts associated with the Revised Project. A summary of the analysis and findings contained within the Addendum is included below.
Summary of Impacts Disclosed in 2021 MND. Project components including the acquisition, annexation, and prezoning of parcels, in addition to the Lot Line Adjustments, would not directly result in physical impacts to the physical environment. However, infrastructure improvements and the potential construction of up to seven single-family homes and seven associated ADUs, for a total of 14 units within the easternmost 54 acres of the Project area, could occur under the
Staff Report
Western Hills Annexation Area Amendment
8 Development Agreement. Hull Properties is choosing to require the single-family homes to be constructed to R1-H standards by including them in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for Development Parcels 1-3. In addition, although not required, the mitigation measures contained within the ISMND for residential development will also be included in the CC&Rs. Development Parcels 1-3 will still be included in the application for annexation and prezoned to R1-H. Although residential development is not proposed at this time and the 2021 Western Hills Project would not grant any entitlements, this analysis assumes that the development will occur on all Development Parcels, both under the County and City’s jurisdiction.
As described throughout the Initial Study, construction and ground disturbing activities associated with these components could result in direct significant impacts to Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural /Tribal Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Noise, Utilities and Service Systems, and Wildfire.
However, mitigation measures identified within the aforementioned sections would reduce impacts to less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
Cumulative impacts are generally considered in analyses of Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Noise, and Traffic. As discussed throughout the Initial Study, the 2021 Western Hills Project would have less than significant impacts on these resources with implementation of mitigation measures described therein. As discussed in Section 14, Population and Housing, as well as Section 11, Land Use and Planning, the potential development of up to 14 units would not induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly or indirectly. Individual impacts from the 2021 Western Hills Project would not significantly contribute to cumulative impacts in the area as there are no known past projects nor current projects within the vicinity of the site. However, all future housing development would be analyzed on a project level basis for direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts, as necessary.
Summary of Impacts from Revised Project. Impacts associated with the Revised Project would be consistent, if not less than, those disclosed within the 2021 MND and within the 2040 General Plan EIR related to the Western Hills Annexation Area. Specifically, the 40-acres proposed for inclusion in the Western Hills Annexation Area contains similar terrain, vegetation and scenic quality as the parcels previously analyzed. While the Revised Project does not include road and/or utility improvements, which would result in less impacts described within the 2021 MND associated with groundwork, grading, and vegetation removal associated with those components, the Purchase Agreement would allow for potential development of up to six additional units within a 15-acre area, in accordance with the R1H zoning regulations. Similar to the analysis contained within the 2021 MND, the exact location of the potential development parcels and residential units is unknown at this time. However, all future development would be subject to discretionary and environmental review and be required to comply with City regulations for height, setbacks, and other development standards established to protect natural features and scenic resources within the Western Hills. The Revised Project would incorporate mitigation measures from the 2021 MND to reduce impacts to Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural/Tribal Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Noise, and Wildfire. Consistent with the 2021 MND, all impacts, including cumulative impacts, associated with the Revised Project would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
CEQA Conclusion. Consistent with CEQA Guidelines 15164, the following discussion demonstrates that none of the conditions described in Section 15162 have occurred and that only minor changes are necessary in order to deem the certified MND adequate to describe the impacts of the project. Specifically, there are no substantial changes proposed that require major revisions of the 2021 MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
Staff Report
Western Hills Annexation Area Amendment
9 substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 also states that an Addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the certified MND for consideration by the hearing body.
The following addresses each of the criteria contained in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines in regard to the project.
a) No Substantial Project Changes. The revisions to the analysis from the Revised Project would not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects evaluated in the 2021 MND. The Revised Project is proposing to include additional properties immediately adjacent to the original project within the Western Hills Annexation Area, resulting in the potential for six additional residential units, compared to the 14 potential units analyzed within the Western Hills 2021 MND. As discussed throughout the Addendum, impacts from the Revised Project are equal to, or less than, those described for the original project. The Revised Project will incorporate mitigation identified in the 2021 MND to reduce all impacts to a less than significant level. No new impacts that were not previously discussed in the 2021 MND have been identified.
b) No Substantial Change in Circumstances. No changes have occurred as a result of the Revised Project which require major revisions of the 2021 MND. The Revised Project would not result in any new significant environmental impacts or substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts (refer to the Environmental Analysis section for details regarding the impacts associated with the Revised Project). c) No New Information of Substantial Importance. Although some circumstances surrounding the Revised Project have changed from those described in the 2021 MND, the analysis for the Revised Project demonstrates that the changes are not substantially different from those described in the 2021 MND. Additionally, there is no information available that indicates that the Revised Project would result in a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts.

AMENDMENT, PREZONING, AND TO ADOPT AN ADDENDUM TO THE INITIAL
STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APPROVED FOR THE UKIAH WESTERN
HILLS OPEN LAND ACQUISITION & LIMITED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PROJECT The Community Development Department’s recommendation for approval of an amendment to the Western Hills Annexation Area (now totaling +/-792 acres), prezoning, and adoption of an Addendum to the previously approved Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH No. 2021040428), is based in part on the following findings, in accordance with UCC §9267, as well as Section 65895 of the Government Code, and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162-15164.
1. On September 15, 2021, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1217, approving the 2021 Western Hills Project, which included acquisition and annexation of 707 acres and a Development Agreement for limited residential opportunities on 54 of the 707 acres, associated prezoning, and an ISMND via Ordinance No. 1217. The ISMND (referred to the “2021 MND” in this Staff Report) can be found online at: https://cityofukiah.com/ceqa-review/.
2. On December 7, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-78 and Resolution No. 79, adopting the City’s 2040 General Plan and certifying the associated Environmental Impact Report (EIR; SCH No. 2022050556). The 2040 General Plan and EIR identify the Western Hills Annexation Area as one of the three areas the City intends to pursue for annexation (see EIR Section 2.2.7). The 44 acres of privately owned parcels intended to rectify jurisdictional issues (“clean up parcels”) were included in the Western Hills Annexation Area within the General Plan and EIR. The General Plan and EIR can be found online at https://ukiah2040.com/.
3. On June 8, 2022, the City of Ukiah submitted an application for annexation to the Mendocino County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) for annexation of the 2021 Western Hills Project parcels (707 acres), in accordance with the terms identified in the Development Agreement. In addition to the parcels identified as a part of the Western Hills Annexation Area, the application for annexation (LAFCo No. A-2022-02) included several privately-owned parcels (±44 acres total) located in between the 2021 Western Hills Project parcels and the County’s jurisdictional boundary, to inform the deliberate and appropriate boundaries and growth for the City of Ukiah. Some of these parcels also span both City and County jurisdiction and the City proposes to annex them to rectify this jurisdictional issue.
4. An additional 40-acre parcel (APN 003-190-11) directly adjacent (south) to the Western Hills Project and City’s western City limit became available for purchase in 2023, and on May 3, 2023, the City Council approved the City seeking acquisition of the parcel for open space and access opportunities in connection with the Western Hills open space parcels. The additional acreage, in combination with the other components summarized below, constitute the “Revised Project”. The 40 acres were not included in the amended SOI nor the Western Hills Annexation Area identified in the General Plan and associated EIR. However, the 40 acres would be owned by the City at the time of annexation and is within the City’s updated Planning Area, consistent with the intent of Government Code Section 56742.The proposed parcels for annexation would also be contiguous to existing City of Ukiah city limits and the existing Western Hills Annexation Area, and result in a more orderly, contiguous and less peninsular

Western Hills Annexation Area Amendment
2 annexation area than the current configuration, in accordance with LAFCo policies and the Government Code Section 65895.
5. In accordance with LAFCo-adopted procedures, and as required under the Development Agreement (2021) and Purchase Agreement (2023) associated with the Western Hills Project (as revised), the City will amend its annexation application (LAFCo No. A-2022-02) that was submitted on June 8, 2022.
6. The Revised Project (2023) includes: Amending the Western Hills Annexation Area to include one 40-acre parcel (APN 003-190-11), resulting in a total acreage of 792 acres; 25 acres of the property would be owned by the City and maintained for open space and municipal purposes and 15 acres would be transferred to the private property owner (Hull) via a Purchase Agreement between the City and Hull for limited residential development potential.
7. As further described in the Staff Report and Draft Addendum, the Revised Project would be consistent with the City’s General Plan, Zoning Code, the County’s Ukiah Valley Area Plan, as well as the Government Code and LAFCo policies related to annexation and prezoning.
The 2021 Western Hills Project was determined to be consistent with the General Plan (1995) and zoning code at the time of approval. Further, as described in the Staff Report, annexation of this area was built into the City’s new (2040) General Plan. The proposed 40-acre parcel being included in the Western Hills Annexation Area would result in a more orderly, contiguous and less peninsular annexation area than the current configuration, which is supported by LAFCo policies.
8. The Revised Project is also consistent with General Plan (2040) Goals ENV-1, ENV-4, LU-6, LU-7, LU-8 and LU-9 (and Polices ENV 1.2, LU 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.1, 7.2 and 8.1) which support annexation and orderly development of lands contiguous to the City limits, as well as open space preservation, protection of hillsides and development of all housing types.
9. In accordance with UCC Section §9267, Prezoning, the City may prezone unincorporated territory adjoining the City for the purpose of determining the zoning which will apply to such property in the event of subsequent annexation to the City. Prezoning does not become effective until after successful approval of the annexation application by LAFCo.
10. The agreements (2021 Development Agreement and 2023 Purchase Agreement) would allow low density residential development on approximately 69 acres of the 792 acres included in the Western Hills Annexation Area. However, the agreements would restrict development to one single family dwelling per parcel and one ADU (except for in cases were the slope exceeds 50 percent, per the City’s Hillside Overlay Ordinance). No development is proposed at this time and this approval does not grant any entitlements. All development would occur in accordance with R1-H zoning, which requires discretionary review (Planning Commission approval) and would be subject to all development regulations (including slope, density, setbacks, height, fire safety and water requirements, access requirements, etc.) contained within the Hillside (-H) Overlay District.
11. Pursuant to Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, an Addendum to the 2021 Western Hills Project ISMND (SCH No: 2021040428) has been prepared by the City of Ukiah Planning Division. Consistent with CEQA Guidelines 15164, none of the conditions described in Section 15162 have occurred and only minor changes are necessary in order to deem the certified MND adequate to describe the impacts of the project. Specifically, the revisions to the analysis from the Revised Project would not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects evaluated in the 2021 MND. The Revised Project is proposing to include additional properties immediately

3 adjacent to the original project within the Western Hills Annexation Area, resulting in the potential for six additional residential units, compared to the 14 potential units analyzed within the Western Hills 2021 MND. As discussed throughout the Addendum, impacts from the Revised Project are equal to, or less than, those described for the original project. The Revised Project would incorporate mitigation measures from the 2021 MND to reduce impacts to Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural/Tribal Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Noise, and Wildfire. Consistent with the 2021 MND, all impacts, including cumulative impacts, associated with the Revised Project would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. No new impacts that were not previously discussed in the 2021 MND have been identified. There are no substantial changes proposed that require major revisions of the 2021 MND due to the involvement of new substantial information, identified significant environmental effects, or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. As such, preparation of an Addendum is appropriate.
12. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states that an Addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the certified MND for consideration by the hearing body.
13. Public notice was provided in the following manner, consistent with Ukiah City Code (UCC) §9267 and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15164:
