Planning Statement of Need and Proposed Outcome
Orr Street and the Orr Street Bridge that spans Orr Creek from end to end is 900 feet in length, with the Bridge bifurcating this distance. Due to damage from a fire over 10 years ago, both the Bridge and Street have been closed to vehicular traffic. There are very few pedestrian facilities along the entire length of Orr Street, posing difficulties for seniors, the disabled, and other residents of the predominantly low/moderate-income neighborhood, known as the Wagenseller Neighborhood, in accessing critical services. Originally, the Orr Street Bridge was maintained as part of the City’s road system, but after the Street was closed the Bridge continued to deteriorate and now has a wood surface that is in complete disrepair (see attached pictured), posing additional hazards to residents. Adding to these safety and accessibility issues, larger emergency vehicles, delivery vehicles, and garbage trucks must back out of the street several hundred feet or pull into private driveways and navigate three-point turns to leave the neighborhood, posing a particular hazard to vulnerable populations.

What little funding was originally identified for the study has since dissipated due to the revenue shortfalls from the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the City will provide in-kind matching funding through the Community Development Department for CDBG general administration services, CDBG funding is necessary to implement the planning activity. There is thus both tremendous need for the study, as well as the CDBG funding to support the study.

If funded, the Orr Street Bridge and Transportation Corridor and Plan would identify the constraints of the multiple uses (vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles) and identify potential solutions. The study would also identify the costs associated with the potential solutions, and through development of plans and specifications and an Engineer’s Cost Estimate would produce a design and implementation timeline and identify the costs for putting the solution(s) into motion.

The City has a dedicated sales tax fund for road improvements and road maintenance, so a resulting project from the Orr Street Bridge and Transportation Study and Plan would both be feasible and in the immediate-term. The City would intend to seek matching funding in the 2020-2021 CDBG NOFA for the street improvement project identified from this planning study.

The Need Statement presents facts and evidence to support the need for your planning activity. An effective need statement will describe the target populations to be served, define the community problem to be addressed, is related to the purposes and goals of your organization, includes quantitative and qualitative documentation and supporting information, does not make any unsupported assumptions, and describes the situation in terms that are both factual and of human interest.

Describe the population that will benefit
The completion of this study will lead to a future rehabilitation project on Orr Street and the Orr Street Bridge, improving access to services and employment centers for a predominantly low/moderate-income residential neighborhood and enhancing bicycle and pedestrian corridors. Orr Street is within Census Tract 115, Block Group 1, a block group with nearly 65% low/moderateincome individuals.

The Orr Street corridor has needed to be rehabilitated for quite some time. At the completion of the future rehabilitation project, an estimated 760 low/moderate-income persons will have improved access to employment opportunities and enhanced transportation options. This will allow this population equal access to the services and opportunities afforded other city residents.

Provide a narrative describing your planned community outreach for this planning activity.

Community outreach will be conducted at three different stages of the project: 1) at project initiation and through a press release upon notification of the CDBG funding award; 2) during a community meeting to present initial land survey results and secure community input on the layout and transportation plan; and 3) at the completion of the study, during City Council review and approval. Announcements regarding the community meeting will be released in both English and Spanish on the City's website and Facebook page, and the City will have translators available for the meeting, either remotely or in-person depending on the status of the Shelter in Place orders at that time.

Although community outreach is planned at each of these three stages, given the City's partnership with the residential neighborhood association, it is expected community outreach and interaction will be ongoing throughout the 6-month study period. Ultimately, this level of engagement will lead to a more responsive and reflective study identifying the future priorities for more efficient and safe transportation throughout the neighborhood.

Provide documentation of your planning team qualifications.

STATE OBJECTIVES DOCUMENTATION
STATE OBJECTIVE 1: DISASTER RESILIENCY LONG-TERM PLANNING The City of Ukiah has actively engaged in strategic planning activities that promote long term resiliency planning. Two example are below, with descriptions provided.

A. Long-term planning- Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities Analysis Description: In accordance with requirements listed in SB 244, the City of Ukiah completed an analysis that identified 11 Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities (DUC) within the City’s Sphere of Influence. The analysis also identified structural and infrastructure deficiencies and outlined options for addressing those deficiencies.

On October 23, 2019, the Ukiah City Council adopted an amendment to the Land Use Element of its General Plan to incorporate the DUC Analysis. The completed DUC analysis is attached as Attachment 1. The staff report and City Council Resolution No. 2019-48 adopting the DUC Analysis into the City’s current (1995) General Plan are attached as Attachment 2.

B. Long-term planning- Mendocino Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan Description: The City of Ukiah is currently engaged in the development of a Mendocino County multi-jurisdiction hazard mitigation plan (MJHMP). The purpose of the Mendocino County MJHMP is to reduce property losses and avoid injury and/or casualties resulting from natural disasters. Six different jurisdictions are participating, including (in addition to the City of Ukiah), the County of Mendocino, City of Fort Bragg, City of Point Arena, City of Willits, and the Mendocino County Office of Education (The Office of Education is treated as a jurisdiction for purposes of the MJHMP.)
The MJHMP is scheduled to be completed by the end of calendar year 2020, with public meetings and surveys scheduled throughout the MJHMP development process. Once completed, City staff plan to schedule the MJHMP for City Council adoption.

DISADVANTAGED UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES

INTRODUCTION
Senate Bill 244 (SB 244) requires cities to identify and describe disadvantaged unincorporated communities (DUCs) inside or near its boundaries. The purpose of this legislation is to begin to address the lack of access to basic community infrastructure, such as sidewalks, clean drinking water, and adequate waste processing in unincorporated communities. This lack of investment threatens health and safety, and results in further economic, social, and educational inequality.

SB 244 requires cities and counties to include DUCs in long-range planning to produce a more efficient delivery system of services and infrastructure. One of the core aims of SB 244 is to address the complex legal, financial, and political barriers that contribute to regional inequity and infrastructure deficiencies.

This paper is organized into the following sections:

Introduction ........................................................................................................... 1 DUC Identification Methodology ........................................................................... 4 Communities Identified ......................................................................................... 7 Infrastructure Deficiency Analysis ....................................................................... 10 Key Terms .......................................................................................................... 33 References ......................................................................................................... 34 Attachment 1

Based on the requirements of SB 244, this analysis includes an assessment of infrastructure, covering water, wastewater, storm drainage, and structural fire protection facilities and services; infrastructure needs or deficiencies for each of the identified DUCs; and potential funding mechanisms that could resolve any identified infrastructure deficiencies. SB 244 defines a DUC as a fringe, island, or legacy community that meets the following criteria:
 Contains 10 or more dwelling units in close proximity to one another;  Is either within a city sphere of influence (SOI), is an island within a city boundary, or is geographically isolated and has existed for more than 50 years; and  Has a median household income that is 80 percent or less than the statewide median household income (MHI).

SB 244 distinguishes three types of DUCs based on the following definitions:
 “Island community” means any inhabited and unincorporated territory that is surrounded or substantially surrounded by one or more cities or by one or more cities and a county boundary or the Pacific Ocean.
 “Fringe community” means any inhabited and unincorporated territory that is within a city’s sphere of influence.
 “Legacy community” means a geographically isolated community that is inhabited and has existed for at least 50 years.

As demonstrated in the following sections, all of the DUCs identified in this analysis match the definition of a fringe community.

Table 1 summarizes the findings from this DUC analysis, which is described in depth in the following sections. As shown in the table, there are no infrastructure deficiencies for water, wastewater, or stormwater drainage in Ukiah DUCs. However, based on information from the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA), the identified DUCs have structural fire protection deficiencies due to the water infrastructure for fire connection in these areas: the majority of the fire connections in the identified DUCs are standpipes or wharf hydrants, which do not produce the normal fire flows of a standard hydrant.

DUC IDENTIFICATION METHODOLOGY
While SB 244 describes the general characteristics of DUCs, it does not provide specific guidance on how to identify them. To assist local governments in addressing the requirements of SB 244, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) published a technical advisory memo in February 2013 titled: Senate Bill 244: Land Use, General Plans, and Disadvantaged Communities. The memo recommends data sources for identifying income status and mapping resources for identifying “communities” as defined by SB 244. Based on the guidance provided by OPR, the City identified DUCs in the Ukiah area by following the steps described below.

STEP 1. LOW-INCOME STATUS
 First, the City identified unincorporated areas between the City limits and SOI that had a MHI that was 80 percent or less than the statewide MHI. This was done by looking at Census Block Groups (CBGs) and Census Designated Places (CDPs) that met the lowincome threshold using income data from the 2013-2017 American Community Survey (ACS). From 2013-2017, the statewide MHI was $67,169, which set the low-income threshold of 80 percent or less than the statewide average, was $53,735. Figure 1 shows the areas that had MHI at or below $53,735.

STEP 2. RESIDENTIAL PROXIMITY
 Next, within the areas identified as having a MHI of $53,735 or less, the City identified groupings of dwelling units that were in close proximity to each other and that were also similar in form to the density of residential areas typically located in suburban and urban communities. This was done using satellite imagery from Google Earth to locate areas with more than 10 dwellings in close proximity to each other.

STEP 3. GROUND TRUTHING
 After identifying potential DUCs based on the thresholds described in SB 244 and the most recent data available, the City reviewed the identified communities to confirm they matched the intent of the SB 244 analysis and that the digital data sources used match current realities. City staff concluded that the 11 DUCs identified through the above process were valid and appropriate as defined under State law.

INFRASTRUCTURE DEFICIENCY ANALYSIS
SB 244 requires an analysis of infrastructure services for each DUC. This section first provides an overview of service providers in the Ukiah SOI that provide infrastructure facilities or services in the DUCs. The subsequent section describes the services provided by each provider within each DUC consistent with the requirements of SB 244.

OVERVIEW OF SERVICE PROVIDERS WITHIN THE UKIAH SOI
SB 244 calls for “an analysis of water, wastewater, stormwater drainage, and structural fire protection needs or deficiencies” for all identified DUCs. Within the Ukiah SOI, public water and wastewater services are provided by special districts. Where public water and wastewater services are not provided, onsite systems (e.g., private wells and septic systems) are used.

Private wells and septic systems were not evaluated in this report. The following is an overview of how services are provided within the DUCs in the Ukiah area.

WATER
Potable water service within DUCs in Ukiah SOI is provided primarily by special districts, although several DUCs are reliant on individual wells. Special districts that provide water services include:
 Calpella County Water District (DUC #11)
 Mendocino County Russian River Flood Control and Water Conservation Improvement District (DUCs #1, #2, #3, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, and #11)  Millview County Water District (DUCs #6, #7, #8, #9, and #10)  Willow County Water District (DUCs #1, #2, #3, and #5, and approximately 95 percent of DUC #4)
A small portion (approximately 5 percent of the total area) of DUC #4 relies on private wells.

WASTEWATER
Wastewater collection and treatment services are provided to DUCs in the Ukiah SOI through a combination of onsite septic systems (both individual septic and community septic systems) and special districts. Special districts that provide wastewater services include:
 Calpella County Water District (DUC #11)
 Millview County Water District (DUC #8)
 Ukiah Valley Sanitation District (DUCs #2, #3, #4, #5, and #6) DUCs #1 and #7, #9, #10 rely on septic tanks.

STORMWATER DRAINAGE
Nearly half of the Ukiah DUCs are provided with stormwater drainage services by Mendocino County (County). The other DUCs rely on roadside ditches to collect stormwater runoff.

Services are provided as the following:
 Mendocino County (DUCs #4, #6, #10, and #11)
City of Ukiah
20-CDBG-12052

Page 20 of 156 ends

Page 206 of 625 ends

City of Ukiah 11
1995 General Plan
 DUCs #1, #2, #3, #5, #7, #8, and #9 rely on roadside ditches.

STRUCTURAL FIRE PROTECTION
Fire protection services within the Ukiah SOI are provided by Ukiah Valley Fire Authority and the Redwood Valley-Calpella Fire District. The Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA) jointly manages, equips, maintains and operates all-risk fire, emergency medical and rescue services to the City and Fire District. Services are provided as the following:
 Redwood Valley-Calpella Fire District (DUC #11)
 Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (DUCs #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, and #10) City of Ukiah

DUC SERVICE PROFILES
For each of the 11 identified DUCs in the Ukiah SOI, the City consulted with the Mendocino Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) and researched available data and reports to determine how water, wastewater, stormwater drainage, and structural fire protection services are provided. The Mendocino LAFCo information was derived primarily from published Municipal Service Reviews (MSRs) and SOI update reports. The following are analyses of how each DUC is being served.

DUC #1
DUC #1 is located at
the northwest corner of
Burke Hill Road and
Bisby Avenue, west of
Redwood Highway.

This area includes 4
parcels totaling
approximately 8 acres,
with approximately 15
mobile homes. This
area is commonly
known as Ukiah Mobile
Estates.

Water – The
Mendocino County
Russian River Flood
Control and Water
Conservation
Improvement District
(RRFC) provide raw
water for irrigation and
to municipal water
purveyors within this
area.

Water usage is about 20 percent residential and 80 percent commercial/industrial. The WCWD maintains a storage capacity of 1.348 million gallons in nine storage tanks strategically located throughout the WCWD. Based on data contained in the 2013 Ukiah Valley Special Districts MSR, the WCWD would have sufficient capacity to meet anticipated demand- and consequently, it does not appear there are water deficiencies.

20-CDBG-12052

Page 22 of 156 ends

Page 208 of 625 ends

City of Ukiah 13
1995 General Plan
Wastewater – There is no community wastewater system in place for this community. Septic tanks are used by residents for wastewater disposal. Because no data has been recently presented suggesting the septic capacity is not sufficient for this community, there appear to be no wastewater deficiencies in this community.

Stormwater Drainage – Storm drainage capture and transport is limited since there is no community storm drain system in place for this community. In lieu of a storm drain system, there are roadside ditches that are used to manage and transport stormwater runoff for the area. The use of roadside ditches have led to less ponding and localized flooding, but during large rain events, localized flooding and ponding may still occur. Based on the availability of stormwater runoff capture and transport through roadside ditches, there appear to be no stormwater drainage deficiencies in this community.

Structural Fire Protection – Fire protection is provided to this community by Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA). The UVFA provides structural, wildland fire suppression, and emergency medical services. UVFA staff are trained to provide emergency medical service at the Basic Life Support (BLS) level and are the first responders to these types of calls. The UVFA reviews all applications for new commercial construction, multi-unit housing, occupancy changes, and tenant changes that are within its service area and require a building permit. UVFA Station 1 (South Station), located at 1500 S. State Street, is the closest station to DUC #1. This station is staffed full time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. During peak fire season, CalFire operates CalFire Station Ukiah, part of the Mendocino Unit, located at 2690 N. State Street. This station is not staffed full-time, but when operational, can assist UVFA during large fire incidents.

Water infrastructure for fire connections is inadequate in this area (there are no fire hydrants), limiting availability to adequate fire suppression systems. In lieu of an adequate fire suppression system and existing water serving infrastructure, all UVFA fire trucks are required to carry water onboard for fire suppression. Based on these water infrastructure issues, there are fire protection service deficiencies in this community.

DUC #2
DUC #2 is located
at the southwest
corner of Boonville
Road (Highway
253) and South
State Street, west
of Redwood

includes 32 parcels
totaling nearly 9
acres, with
approximately 30
single-family
homes.

Water – The
Mendocino County
Russian River
Flood Control and

Improvement
District (RRFC)
provides raw water
for irrigation and to
municipal water
purveyors within
this area.

The Willow County Water District (WCWD) receives water from the RRFC, then treats and distributes the water to this area. During a normal year, the WCWD distributes approximately 1,200 acre-feet of water per year for domestic and irrigation uses. Water usage is about 20 percent residential and 80 percent commercial/industrial. The WCWD maintains a storage capacity of 1.348 million gallons in nine storage tanks strategically located throughout the WCWD. Based on data contained in the 2013 Ukiah Valley Special Districts MSR, the WCWD would have sufficient capacity to meet anticipated demand- and consequently, it does not appear there are water deficiencies.

Wastewater – The Ukiah Valley Sanitation District (UVSD) provides wastewater service to this community. The City owns the collection system and a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), while the UVSD owns the collection system within its jurisdictional boundaries. The UVSD contracts via a Participation Agreement to the City of Ukiah for use of the City-owned WWTP and for maintenance of its collection system. Based on the most recent data available from the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District and Mendocino LAFCo, there do not appear to be wastewater deficiencies in this community.

This station is not staffed full-time, but when operational can assist UVFA during large fire incidents.

The area has access to fire hydrants. However, the majority of fire connections are standpipes or wharf hydrants, which do not produce the fire flows of a standard hydrant. The fire connections are sufficient for small isolated fires, but for major fires, UVFA must use water tenders. All fire trucks also carry water onboard for fire suppression. Based on these water infrastructure issues, there are fire protection service deficiencies in this community.

Based on data contained in the 2013 Ukiah Valley Special Districts MSR, the MCWD would have sufficient capacity to meet anticipated demand- and consequently, it does not appear there are water deficiencies.

Structural Fire Protection – Fire protection is provided to this community by Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA). The UVFA provides structural, wildland fire suppression, and emergency medical services. UFVA staff are trained to provide emergency medical service at the Basic Life Support (BLS) level and are the first responders to these types of calls. The UFVA reviews all applications for new commercial construction, multi-unit housing, occupancy changes, or tenant changes that are within its service area and require a building permit. UVFA Station 2 (North Station), located at 1800 N. State Street, is the closest station to DUC #6. This station is staffed full time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. During peak fire season CalFire operates CalFire Station Ukiah, part of the Mendocino Unit, located at 2690 N. State Street.

This station is not staffed full-time, but when operational can assist UVFA during large fire incidents.

1995 General Plan
The Calpella County Water District receives water from the RRFC, then treats and distributes the water to this area. Based on the 2013 Ukiah Valley Special Districts Municipal Service Review (MSR), the water infrastructure capacity is sufficient, but the District overall lacks additional water capacity. The lack of water supply leads to a potential of meeting future demands without purchasing water from other sources. There are no reported changes since the 2013 MSR.

Wastewater –The Calpella County Water District serves over 100 sewer connections and operates a wastewater treatment plant. The capacity of the plant was increased to 80,000 gpd.

In 2007, the average daily flow rate was estimated at 32,000 gallons. The CCWD has additional treatment capacity and can accommodate up to 1,000 residents, which is about 300 more than the current population within the CCWD service area. Based on the most recent data available from the CCWD and Mendocino LAFCo, there do not appear to be wastewater deficiencies in this community.

Structural Fire Protection – The Redwood Valley-Calpella Fire District (RVCFD) provides structural fire protection, wildland fire protection, emergency medical services, rescue, hazardous materials response, and fire prevention for Calpella. The District is dispatched by CALFire. RVCFD operates one fire station in Redwood Valley at 8481 East Road in Redwood Valley. Within Calpella and the outlying area, The District relies on its 2,000-gallon water tender, agricultural irrigation ponds, and cisterns constructed by property owners as part of a residential building permit. In 2016, water supply for firefighting in the outlying areas is considered “marginally adequate,” especially during time of drought. RVCFD is exploring other means to augment its existing water supplies, either through mutual aid tanker support from other fire agencies; or through acquisition of additional water tenders. The core of capital improvement needs for RVCFD are generally planned in the budget and are underway, which includes a 10- year program to replace its vehicles.

Impact Fees Local Governments Development Impact Fees can be imposed for new development, in order to acquire funding to construct capital facilities. Applying development impact fees to projects does have substantial limitations under The Mitigation Fee Act, sections 66000.

Taxation Local Governments
and Public
Agencies
In 1982 the California State Legislature enacted the
Community Facilities Act, commonly referred to as MelloRoos. This act authorized local jurisdictions to establish community facility districts, which would directly serve as another funding mechanism for financing public work projects, and even public services. This method of revenue generation potentially could be used to finance projects that will make the necessary improvements to the deficiencies in these
communities.

POTENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING SOURCES
Program Name Agency Program Description
Bonds Local Governments Bonding is a funding mechanism that can be used specifically to fund large infrastructure projects in disadvantaged
communities. There are three bond types: revenue bonds, lease revenue bonds, and obligations bonds.
 Revenue bonds are typically ensured by the project
that is being constructed. A common revenue bond
infrastructure project would be a water treatment
facility. Once the bond is paid, the facility operation and ownership is turned over to the jurisdiction.
 Lease revenue bonds are secured by either a nonprofit or privately financed group, that constructs the infrastructure project, then leases the completed
facility back to the jurisdiction, until the costs of the bond have been paid for. Once the bond is paid, the
facility operation and ownership is turned over to the
jurisdiction.
 General obligation bonds are issued for the
improvement and enhancement of real property. Local
governments have the ability to raise property taxes in order to cover the costs of the bond and infrastructure project. Unlike the previous two types of bonding
methods, the general obligation bond, does require
voter approval.

4. SB244 GPA NOE draft

5. City Council Resolution + Findings- GPA 2019-01
Summary: City Council will consider approving the Community Development Director's Determination that the proposed General Plan Amendment qualifies for a CEQA exemption. Council will also consider and possibly adopt a resolution and related findings adopting an amendment to the Land Use Element of the 1995 City of Ukiah General Plan to incorporate the Senate Bill 244 analysis regarding Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities.

Background: Senate Bill (SB) 244 (Attachment 1) was approved by Governor Brown in October 2011 and requires cities to identify and describe disadvantaged unincorporated communities inside or near city boundaries. Codified in Government Code Section 65302.10, a Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community (DUC) is defined as a fringe, island, or legacy community that 1) contains 10 or more dwelling units in close proximity to one another; 2) is within a city's sphere of influence, is an island of unincorporated territory that is surrounded or substantially surrounded by one or more cities, or is geographically isolated and has existed for more than 50 years; and 3) has a median household income that is 80 percent or less than the statewide median household income.

SB 244 directs that on or before the date of adoption of the next housing element, the general plan land use element must be updated as necessary to identify and describe each DUC (fringe community, legacy community, and/or island community) that exists within unincorporated areas of the county or in spheres of influence (SOI) of each city; analyze for each identified community the water, wastewater, stormwater drainage, and structural fire protection needs; and identify financial funding alternatives for the extension of services to any identified communities.

Utilizing the services of the City's advanced planning specialists, Staff completed the SB 244 analysis (Attachment 2). The City's SB 244 analysis identified 11 DUCs outside the city limits but within the City's SOI.

All DUCs were analyzed with regards to water, wastewater, stormwater drainage, and structural fire protection needs.

Attachment 2
City of Ukiah
20-CDBG-12052

Page 45 of 156 ends

Page 231 of 625 ends

Page 2 of 2 ends

At their meeting on October 9, 2019, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution (Attachment 3) recommending that the City Council adopt an amendment to the Land Use Element of the 1995 City of Ukiah General Plan incorporating the SB 244 analysis related to DUCs.

Discussion: As a part of consideration of the proposed amendment to the Land Use Element of the 1995 City of Ukiah General Plan, the Community Development Director is required to make- and he has made- a determination as to the required level of environmental review required by the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The Community Development Director has determined that the proposed Land Use Element amendment is exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines, Section 15306 as an information collection activity (see the Director's draft CEQA Exemption Determination, Attachment 4).

In addition, the proposed General Plan Land Use Element amendment is exempt from environmental review under CEQA as a special situation under Guidelines Section 15183. It does not propose infrastructure projects or improvements, nor does it propose amendments to the Land Use Map or land use policies. The General Plan Amendment does not propose a change in density, nor growth within the City limits or sphere of influence and would be consistent with the City's 1995 General Plan. There are no project-specific effects that are peculiar to the text amendment.

Staff recommends that Council approve the Community Development Director Determination that the proposed General Plan Amendment qualifies for a CEQA exemption. Staff also recommends that Council adopt a resolution and findings in Attachment 5, adopting an amendment to the Land Use Element of the City of Ukiah 1995 General Plan incorporating the SB 244 analysis related to Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities.

Recommended Action: 1) Approve Community Development Director Determination (Attachment 4) that the proposed General Plan Amendment qualifies for a CEQA exemption; and 2) adopt a resolution and findings (Attachment 5) adopting an amendment to the Land Use Element of the 1995 General Plan to incorporate the SB 244 analysis regarding Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities.

STATE OBJECTIVES DOCUMENTATION
STATE OBJECTIVE 2: FAIR HOUSING – ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITY The City of Ukiah has completed efforts that have furthered access to opportunity for lower income households. Below is an example.

Outreach and Engagement- City of Ukiah Housing Element Update Description: In 2019, the City of Ukiah implemented an outreach and engagement effort designed to significantly increase community participation and input in the decision-making process related to the updating of the City of Ukiah’s Housing Element. Nearly 30% of the City’s population is of Hispanic origin, and approximately 49% of the City’s population is lower income, and engagement efforts were designed to reach these populations. Specific actions include the following:
 Creation of flyers in both English and Spanish announcing two community workshops on the Housing Element (see Attachment 1 for flyers)
 Posting of these flyers at lower income rental housing properties throughout Ukiah  Release of eBlasts in both English and Spanish to a list of approximately 100 stakeholders in the Ukiah Valley. Stakeholders represented a broad section of the community, including nonprofit agencies serving primarily lower income persons.  City staff presentations at Ukiah Vecinos en Acción (Neighbors in Action) and Mendocino Latinx Alliance; and an informational booth at the Mexican Consulate  Development of a Housing Element webpage
 Two community housing workshops presented in both English and Spanish, with presentation materials also in both English and Spanish. o City Parks and Recreation staff hosted a “Kids Corner” at both workshops so families with children could attend even if they did not have access to childcare.  City staff also sent press releases, and the Ukiah Daily Journal published three articles (see Attachment 2).

As a result of these efforts, the City had strong participation at both workshops, of approximately 40 people in the first workshop and 30 in the second workshop. The City incorporated comments received during these workshops and from written comments submitted into its final 2019-2027 Housing Element, which was adopted by City Council on October 23, 2019 and certified by HCD’s Housing Policy Division on December 5, 2019.

The city of Ukiah will be holding public workshops
soon to collect input fromthe public as it begins
updating the Housing Element portion of its General
Plan, Community Development Director Craig
Schlatter announced.
“We’re shifting gears fromcurrent planning to working
on advanced planning that we’ll be engaged in for the
next two, maybe three years,” Schlatter told the Ukiah
Planning Commission at its last meeting, explaining
that the city requested proposals from consultants “to
helpwith general plan updates,” and those proposals
were due March 1.
“We are also due for an update of the Housing
Element, which was last certified in 2016 for a fiveyear cycle ending in 2019,” he said, explaining that his department now plans to forge a new document that
will cover eight years (2019-2027), and needs to be
certified by Aug. 15 of this year.
“Staff will be leading the housing element update with
assistance from the consultant hired for updating the
other elements of the city’s General Plan,” said
Schlatter, who also noted in a recent press release that city staff “will be providing several opportunities for the community to participate in the process.”
At the City Council meeting Wednesday, Schlatter said
his department “will provide a work plan … describing
the process, timeline, and expectations for the update,” describing the March 6 meeting as the official start of the process.
“The Housing Element can be much more than just
another planning document tomeet state requirements,”
said Schlatter, who told the Planning Commission that
he wanted the document to not just “sit on the shelf,
but actually be implemented.” And a crucial part of
making sure it can be implemented, he said, is
encouraging “active participation from the public. (If
the plan is) developed with goals and policies that are realistic, accessible, and implementable, the Housing
Element can map out the city’s housing plan for the
future. We
HOUSING>> PAGE10

encourage our community to be a part of this process.”
Two workshops have been scheduled, the first on
March 21 and the second on April 25, for residents to
provide input and ideas on the goals and policies in the Housing Element. Both meetings will be at the Ukiah
Valley Conference Center, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., and
A draft housing element update is expected to be ready
to be presented to the Ukiah Planning Commission by
late summer, and a City Council hearing for Housing
Element adoption is tentatively set for fall of 2019.

Update process or to be added to an email distribution

The city of Ukiah is updating its Housing Element this
year and plans to create what the staff member
directing the process described asamuchmore
accessible document that residents and community
members will help shape.
“We’ve heard quite a bit that the public wants to be
involved and there’s quite a bit of attention on
addressing housing in the community,” Community
Development Director Craig Schlatter told the Ukiah
City Council this week. “There will be much more
opportunities for the public to be involved in this
update,” which will cover eight years, from 2019
through 2027.

He said staff expect to complete the first draft of the document by early May, and has scheduled twopublic
workshops before then. The first is set forMarch 21 at
5:30 p.m. at the Ukiah Valley Conference Center at 200
S. School St.

In themeantime, Schlatter said the city has already

increased its production of newhousing, describing the
number of units both built and being built in the last
three years, especially compared to the last 15 years, as “pretty remarkable.”
In regard to Accessory Dwelling Units, often called
granny flats or mother-inlaw units, Schlatter addressed correspondence from a Ukiah resident who asked if the
city planned to host any workshops on how average
if someone brought it tomy attention.” Mulheren
responded by whispering, “I just did.”
Audience member John McCowen, 2nd District
Mendocino County supervisor, urged the city to
“consider making (approved) plans available over the
counter. This would incentivize them andmake them
more cost-effective for people willing to choose from a set of ready-made plans.” Schlatter said he would
consider that if his department “were seeing really low numbers of ADUs (being built), but I’m not seeing
that.” When asked by Council member Steve
Scalmanini if a “tiny house on wheels” could be

property owners, “not professional builders,” could add one.
“We like to host workshops, but we are not sure if it
would be valuable because there have been other
workshops hosted on this topic recently,” said
Schlatter. “Both the county director and myself
discussed ADUs at a recent workshop. I would be
happy to host one, but don’t feel it is necessary.”
When Mayor Maureen Mulheren asked if the city of
Ukiah planned to offer sets of approved plans for
ADUs like the city of Fort Bragg does over the
counter, Schlatter said he would be happy to “look into that
considered an ADU, Schlatter said he did not think
those were currently considered ADUs.

Schlatter said that the public workshops would be
presented in both English and Spanish, and Council
member Juan Orozco suggested they be “hosted in
separate rooms,” so that all the information and
questions would only have to be presented once, not
repeated for everyone every time. “That’s a really good idea, I hadn’t thought of that,” Schlatter said.

The city of Ukiah is hosting another workshop
Thursday designed to collect comments from the
public that will not only help shape its housing goals, but dictate how they will be put into practice.
“Our hope is that the public will really drive this
process, particularly the implementation portion of
theHousing Element,” said Craig Schlatter, the city’s
Community Development Director, explaining that
both the workshop this week and the one last month
were specifically designed to encourage engagement
fromattendees.

At the March 21 workshop, Schlatter said he was
pleased with the turnout and the ideas presented, some
of which were

incorporated into the six goals identified by staff. The revised versions are:

Conserve, rehabilitate, and improve the existing
housing stock to provide adequate, safe, sustainable,
and decent housing for all Ukiah residents.

Support housing opportunities for all economic
segments of the community, regardless of race, gender,
age, sexual orientation, marital status, or national
origin.

Expand affordable housing opportunities for persons
with special needs.
when it comes to public engagement.
“They are designed as more of an actual dialog and
conversation with the community,” he said. “Hopefully
the participants feel as if their opinions and ideas
matter.”
Per California state code, the city of Ukiah is required to update the Housing Element in its General Plan
every several years, and this one will cover the period spanning 2019 to 2027. It is meant to “analyze issues
of housing availability, affordability, and needs within the community. In addition, the Housing Element seeks
to set goals, policies, programs and implementation
strategies to address those issues.”
After hosting both workshops, Schlatter said city staff will prepare a draft Housing Element and after it is
certified by other agencies, it will go before the
Planning Commission and City Council for adoption.

Minimize governmental constraints for infill housing

At Thursday’s meeting, Schlatter said each of those
goals will be written on an easel next to a table, and
attendees will be asked to sit near the goal they are
most interested in discussing, and then they will be
asked to “give any ideas they have for how that goal
should be implemented.”
Schlatter described these workshops has being “done
differently than they have in the past,” particularly
“And it will go before the public at least two more
times before adoption,” he said, estimating that the
draft would be ready for the Planning Commission in
August or September.

Thursday’s workshop beings at 5:30 p.m. (April 25) at

6. Resolution- 2020 State CDBG Application
Summary: Council will conduct a public hearing to consider and possibly adopt a resolution authorizing the submittal of up to five 2020 State Community Development Block Grant applications for community and economic development activities in Ukiah.

Background: The State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) released the 2019-2020 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA; Attachment 1) on January 21, 2020. An amendment (Attachment 2) to the January 21, 2019-20 NOFA was released by HCD on April 3, 2020 to provide additional time for jurisdictions to submit applications and to ease threshold requirements related to Housing Element compliance. The City is eligible to apply for the 2019-20 funding round because its Housing Element has been adopted and is in full compliance with State Housing Element law and the City has expended at least 50 percent of its 16-CDBG-11147 award.

State CDBG Citizen Participation regulations require a design phase public hearing to initiate the annual CDBG funding cycle. Staff conducted a design phase public hearing on February 21, 2020. Regulations also require a public hearing to adopt a resolution authorizing submittal of applications to HCD. That is the purpose of this public hearing.

Background on 2019-20 CDBG NOFA ("2020 NOFA")
This 2020 NOFA is the result of a two-year CDBG program redesign collaboration between small cities and counties and HCD, of which the goal was to remove barriers for applicants to apply for, and expend, CDBG funds. As a result of this effort, the 2020 NOFA has several changes compared to past NOFAs, of which according to HCD the two most significant are: 1) the addition of an Over-the-Counter (OTC) application process for capital construction projects (OTC means the first complete and eligible applications received will be the first to be reviewed and awarded, provided the application is complete and meets all of the program

Page 299 of 407 ends

City of Ukiah
20-CDBG-12052

Page 92 of 156 ends

Page 278 of 625 ends

Page 2 of 3 ends

eligibility criteria); and 2) the implementation of the new eCivis Grants Management System (GMS), which allows applicants to apply for CDBG funding online and tracks the status of applications once submitted.

Other items of note within the 2020 NOFA include the following:

1. With approximately $60 million available to small cities and counties statewide, this is one of the largest funding rounds within the past 10 years. Funding is allocated between Community Development, Housing, and Economic Development activities as follows:
o 30%, or approximately $18 million, allocated to Economic Development (ED) activities- $5.4 million for ED competitive programs and $12.6 million for ED OTC projects. o 51%, or approximately $30.6 million, allocated to housing assistance, housing-related facilities, and housing-related infrastructure- $5.5 million for housing assistance competitive programs, $12.5 million for multifamily housing rehabilitation and infrastructure in support of housing projects, and $12.6 million for housing related planning, public services, and public facilities out of the Community Development (CD) allocation.
o The additional 19% of the allocation to be split among special allocations- Colonias and Nonfederally recognized tribes and planning and administration. Approximately $6 million is available for planning awards.

2. Jurisdictions are eligible to apply for up to six (6) separate applications under the 2020 NOFA.

Each application must have a unique activity with a complete budget, national objective, scope of work, and milestone timeline.

3. The maximum total grant award for the cumulative total of applications submitted by the jurisdiction cannot exceed $3.5 million. This maximum does not include any CDBG Program Income committed to activities.

4. Although OTC capital applications are noncompetitive, they must meet "threshold" requirements to be awarded CDBG funds. Additionally, OTC projects must be "shovel-ready," able to go to bid within 90 days of execution of the standard agreement, or the award will be cancelled.

5. All CDBG activities must meet one of three National Objectives: 1) benefit to Low and Moderate Income (LMI) persons; 2) prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or 3) urgent need. The most commonly used National Objective is benefit to LMI persons. The LMI income limit is set annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as 80% or less of the Area Median Income by household size. The most recent income limits for Mendocino County are attached (Page 2 of Attachment 3).

City of Ukiah Local Application Process
The City has developed a local application process to both inform stakeholders and potential applicants of the CDBG NOFA and to establish a fair process by which local applicants can be considered for a possible City CDBG application submitted to the State. On February 11, 2020, the City published a public notice in the Ukiah Daily Journal (Attachment 4) announcing the public meeting and describing the 2020 NOFA. Staff also emailed local stakeholders about the meeting. On February 21, 2020, Staff met with local stakeholders and other City staff to discuss the 2020 NOFA and City's local application process. Staff also distributed the City's Local Application (Attachment 5), which mirrors application threshold requirements in the State CDBG application.

Local applications were due by March 6, 2020, and six applications were received by the deadline. Although the City received a total of six applications, one of the six applicants withdrew their application shortly after the March 6 due date. This left five applications remaining, all of which were submitted by City Departments for City projects.

Discussion: Because all five submitted local applications met basic CDBG eligibility requirements and did not

City of Ukiah
20-CDBG-12052

Page 93 of 156 ends

Page 279 of 625 ends

Page 3 of 3 ends

exceed the maximum of six applications the City can apply for under the 2020 NOFA, scoring of applications was not necessary. Therefore, Staff recommends Council authorize the submittal of five applications for all local applications received.

Staff Recommendation to Council
The following is requested and included in the attached Resolution (Attachment 6):

City of Ukiah Microenterprise Technical Assistance Program = $140,000 General Administration - Microenterprise Technical Assistance Program = $10,500 City of Ukiah Business Assistance Program = $434,539
Activity Delivery - Business Assistance Program = $34,763 General Administration - Business Assistance Program = $35,198 Clara Avenue Reconstruction Project = $2,300,000

Additionally, Staff recommends Council approve the use of CDBG Program Income in an amount not to exceed $48,350 for the Clara Avenue Reconstruction Project, a Public Improvement Project.

To proceed with this recommendation, Staff requests Council 1) conduct a public hearing; and 2) adopt the Resolution in Attachment 6 authorizing an application be submitted to HCD for the above activities; and 3) approve corresponding budget amendments if the applications are awarded.

Ukiah, CA 95482
Dear Sage Sangiacomo:

RE: City of Ukiah’s 6th Cycle (2019-2027) Adopted Housing Element Thank you for submitting Ukiah’s Housing Element adopted October 23, 2019 and received for review on October 28, 2019. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (h), the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review.

HCD is pleased to find the adopted Housing Element in full compliance with state Housing Element law (Article 10.6 of the Government Code). The adopted element was found to be substantially the same as the revised draft Housing Element that HCD’s June 22, 2019 review determined met statutory requirements.

For your information, some General Plan element updates are triggered by Housing Element adoption. HCD reminds the City of Ukiah to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:
http://opr.ca.gov/docs/OPR_Appendix_C_final.pdf and
http://opr.ca.gov/docs/Final_6.26.15.pdf.

Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider Housing Element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grants; the Strategic Growth Council and HCD’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program; and the SB 2 Planning Grants as well as ongoing SB 2 funding consider Housing Element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Gov. Code section 65400. With Housing Element compliance, City of Ukiah meets the Housing Element requirements for these funding sources.

HCD wishes the City of Ukiah success in implementing its Housing Element and looks forward to following its progress through the General Plan annual progress reports pursuant to Gov. Code section 65400. If HCD can provide assistance in implementing the Housing Element, please contact Sohab Mehmood, of our staff, at (916) 263-1968.

GHD | CITY OF UKIAH | 12571956 | Orr Street Bridge & Corridor Study i Executive Summary
The Orr Street Bridge and Corridor Study was initiated by the City of Ukiah to look at various options, alignments, and typical cross-sections for replacement of the Orr Street Bridge over Orrs Creek, and to upgrade the local roadway to a complete street design including multimodal accommodations, travel lanes, parking and improved access for City emergency and maintenance services. This Study has been funded by a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Current conditions of the bridge are damaged and deteriorating, and the bridge has been closed to vehicle traffic since 2009. The project will provide improved walkability, bike friendliness and access across the creek within the local community. Improvements such as sidewalks, curbs, gutter, on-street parking, traffic calming measures (including speed bumps and/or bulb outs), additional lighting, and connectivity with existing and planned city road and trail networks were evaluated in the proposed design alternatives. In addition, various options for the bridge replacement were considered and presented to the public for input, including:

1. Two-lane bridge with one lane in each direction, bike lanes and sidewalks.

2. Single-lane bridge with sidewalks to discourage non-local traffic.

3. Single-lane bridge primarily used for bikes and pedestrians, but equipped with removable bollards to allow movement for emergency vehicles and City maintenance services only.

4. Bike and pedestrian only bridge, with emergency vehicle access.

5. Remove the bridge without replacement.

This Study presents the preliminary stages of the project to evaluate the corridor to determine viable alternatives, an evaluation of environmental considerations, a hydraulics study to determine 100-year water surface elevation and scour, an Advance Planning Study to determine preliminary structural elements of the new bridge, potential impacts to adjacent properties, utilities, and right-of-way, and preliminary cost estimates. The findings of the study include identification of alternatives determined in coordination with the City and public, which will be utilized in later phases including preliminary design and environmental clearance, final design and right-of-way clearances, and then construction.

Three of the above five bridge alternatives were considered by the City and brought to the public and neighborhood groups for consideration. Two public meetings were held to engage the neighbors and stakeholders regarding the possible replacement of the bridge in April 2022 and August 2022.

1. Introduction

1.1 Project Purpose
The Orr Street Bridge and Corridor Study is a comprehensive corridor plan proposing improvements along Orr Street and replacement of the bridge across Orr Creek in Ukiah, CA. The bridge structure is damaged due to cracks in the abutments and has been deteriorating. The bridge was closed to vehicle traffic in 2009, and the bridge deck was removed and street barricades and fencing installed in the last couple of years. This study evaluates various options, alignments and cross-sections of replacing the Orr Street Bridge and improvements to Orr Street including multimodal access to improve the walkability, bike friendliness, and access for emergency vehicles, delivery and city services.

The goal of the study is to analyze corridor improvement and bridge replacement options, propose community-driven alternatives, and identify alternatives that maximize the beneficial uses, scenery, and public services along Orrs Creek while protecting the environment. The City has considered options for rehabilitation or complete replacement, possibly through the Caltrans administered Highway Bridge Program (HBP). The HBP is a safety program that provides federal aid to Local Public Agencies (LPAs) to replace and rehabilitate structurally deficient, locally owned public highway bridges or to complete preventive maintenance on bridges that are not deficient.

1.2 Project Background
Ukiah, California, the county seat and largest city in Mendocino County, has a population of over 16,000 people. The city is located along US Route 101 (US 101) and acts as a regional hub for commerce, trade, and tourism for both Mendocino County and northern Lake County. Located in the Russian River Valley, Ukiah’s economy relies in part on the tourism draw of both its viticulture industry as well as its location in the redwoods. US 101 is a major north-south highway that connects the San Francisco Bay Area and neighboring wine regions in the south through Ukiah all the way to the state border with Oregon in the north.

Orr Street, an approximately 850 feet long north-south local street, is located between Brush Street to the north and Ford Street to the south. It is located northeast of Ukiah’s main downtown street, North State Street, as well as approximately 1,500 feet west of US 101. Orr Street once crossed Orrs Creek, a seasonal waterway and tributary to the nearby Russian River, however the existing bridge is in disrepair and has been closed to traffic since 2009.

Replacing the Orr Street bridge across Orrs Creek and reconnecting this north-south corridor will provide improved connectivity for active transportation users as well as for emergency vehicles, particularly to and for the destinations and neighborhoods east of North State Street. Orr Street parallels North State Street – a four lane arterial – and, at project completion, will provide a lower stress alternative north-south route for people bicycling, walking, or rolling, as well as an alternative north-south route for emergency vehicles during emergencies, particularly in cases of significant road congestion along North State Street.

1.3 Project Goals
The goal of the Project is to meet complete street designs to provide improved walkability, bike friendliness and access across Orrs Creek within the local community. Emergency vehicle access across the creek is also a priority.

The bridge replacement and the complete street design includes multimodal access considerations, vehicular access and parking, and improved access for City emergency and maintenance services. Gaining consensus amongst the community and stakeholders on the concepts was also a priority. Minimizing environmental impacts and impacts to property (right-of-way) were important in identifying design elements. In summary, the project goals are:
– Improvements that incorporate Complete Street elements and access; – Maintaining emergency vehicle access;
– Improving access for City services (i.e., trash collection); – Public consensus and support on the concepts for the bridge and street improvements;

2. Background Conditions
This Chapter presents
the information
pertaining to existing and
background conditions
for Orr Street and the
surrounding area.

2.1 Roadway Characteristics

2.1.1 Local Roadway Network
Orr Street is an approximately 850 foot long north-south local street located in the northeast part of the City, between Brush Street to the north and Ford Street to the south, and approximately 1,500 feet west of US 101. Orr Street crosses Orrs Creek, a perennial waterway and tributary to the nearby Russian River. However, the existing bridge is in disrepair and has been closed to vehicle traffic since 2009. The bridge deck remained open for people walking or biking across it, however, in the last couple of years the City removed the bridge deck and installed barricades and fencing due to concerns of safety and blight. Orr Street south of the bridge is a narrow street serving residential homes with sidewalk on the west side for the majority of the street, but there is no sidewalk for about 225 feet to connection to Ford Street. There are utility poles on both sides, fences fronting most properties, and cars parked on both sides of the street. There are several multi-family dwellings on the west side of Orr Street, just south of the bridge. Garbage trucks and emergency vehicles have no place to turn around or continue through with the bridge closed. Orr Street north of the bridge is also a narrow residential street, with sidewalk on both sides of the street, on-street parallel parking on the west side, and perpendicular parking for the tenants on the east side. These sidewalks and parking areas have recently been constructed with the development of an 80-unit multi-family senior housing project northeast of the bridge, along with an adjacent bike path which connects just north of the bridge to Orchard Avenue to the east.

2.1.2 Traffic Operations
Vehicle traffic on Orr Street, on either side of the bridge, is relatively low and uncongested during peak periods. The corridor study considers various options for allowing vehicle travel across the Orr Street bridge, and options for restricting vehicle travel to one direction northbound, or no access, apart from emergency vehicles. Allowing full access across the bridge in both directions of travel would result in more vehicles along Orr Street, and the potential for some cut-through traffic. Allowing one direction of travel northbound would allow egress for vehicles wanting to travel north, and potentially add a small amount of vehicles to cut-through Orr Street. Restricting access to any vehicles would result in no change in existing travel patterns, as the bridge has been closed to vehicular traffic since 2009. The parallel route, North State Street, does become congested at times and delays will likely increase with future growth in the area. Opening the bridge to vehicular traffic would likely shift some traffic from Ford Street to Brush Street. However, people can currently get around to Brush Street via North State Street to the west or Orchard Avenue to the east. It is important to note that the Orr Street Bridge was closed to traffic prior to Orchard Avenue being extended to Brush Street; the two streets have never been open at the same time.

2.2 Deficiencies
Through the corridor study, several deficiencies were identified along the corridor and at the bridge. There are access deficiencies along the Orr Street corridor for people walking, biking, and rolling, and ADA deficiencies. There is a gap in the sidewalk network on the north side of Ford Street connecting to Orr Street. With the bridge closed completely,

Page 350 of 625 ends

GHD | CITY OF UKIAH | 12571956 | Orr Street Bridge & Corridor Study 4 there currently are several deficiencies with access across Orrs Creek that provide convenient and efficient means of travel for active modes and deficiencies for City services including emergency vehicles access, as these larger vehicles have no means of turning around on the southern side of Orr Street. All of the adjacent properties are privately owned. There are structural deficiencies in the bridge, including a large vertical crack in the northern abutment underneath the bridge, and adjacent concrete along the embankment and within the channel is also deteriorating.

3. Community Outreach
Robust public engagement and community outreach was conducted as part of the Orr Street Bridge and Corridor Study. Two public meetings were held to engage the neighbors and stakeholders regarding the possible replacement of the existing Orr Street Bridge over Orrs Creek. The full summary and comments received from Workshop1 are included in Appendix A, and from Workshop 2 are included in Appendix B.

Workshop 1 - April 23, 2022
On Saturday April 23, 2022, the first public meeting was held on the north side of the Orr Street Bridge from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. The purpose was to share project information and timeline, solicit feedback about the replacement of the current bridge, and better understand stakeholder concerns and desires within the project area. More than 65 people attended during the four-hour period. Most attendees were 40+ years of age and were residents of the Wagenseller neighborhood. Other stakeholders in attendance included representatives of the nearby Orthodox church as well as residents of the adjacent Brush Meadow Apartments. Two City Councilmembers, Planning Commissioners, Public Works employees, and representatives from the Ukiah Daily Journal were also in attendance. Spanish language interpretation services were provided by Daniel Flores from the City of Ukiah Public Works.

The public shared views about bridge replacement types, the accommodation of various transportation modes that may be included in a replacement bridge, as well as their visions for the future of Orr Street. The public was also informed that the next public workshop would include different design alternatives to gather additional feedback, followed later by the City’s determination on “recommended” improvements, with a final design recommendation at a later date. Attendees were able to participate in discussions, ask questions, and leave comments on comment cards.

The project team received more than 60 comments during the meeting. A summary is provided in the Community Input section.

On Tuesday, August 23, 2022, the second public meeting was held at the Ukiah Valley Conference Center from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm. The purpose was to showcase three potential design alternatives for the replacement of the current bridge over Orrs Creek. Two stations were set up with all three design alternatives – Two-Lane Vehicular Bridge (Alternative 1); Single-Lane Vehicular Bridge (Alternative 2); and Bridge Open to Pedestrians, Bikes and Emergency Vehicles (ERV) Only (Alternative 3) – along with an exhibit description for each alternative. These three design alternatives are further described in Chapter 4. The public was able to ask questions, voice opinions, and provide comments on all three alternatives. More than 30 people attended during the 2.5-hour period. Like the prior meeting, most attendees were 40+ years of age and were residents of the Wagenseller neighborhood. Other stakeholders included representatives of the nearby Orthodox church as well as residents of the adjacent Brush Meadow Apartments. City staff from Public Works and the City Manager’s office were also in attendance to review the project alternatives and to speak with the community members at the workshop.

The public was informed about and shared views on the three different design alternatives, which would help to inform the City’s determination on “recommended” improvements, with a final design recommendation at a later date.

Attendees were requested to use a sign-in sheet, although not all felt comfortable doing so. Attendees were able to participate in discussions, ask questions, and leave comments on comment cards. The project team received more than 15 comments during the meeting. A summary is provided in the Community Input section.

3.2 Community Issues and Concerns Summary
In addition to general discussion about the bridge structure at each public meeting, the community also highlighted the following issues and concerns:

Workshop 1 - April 23, 2022
– Concerns about abandoned vehicles and undesirable activities at the bridge and adjacent private properties. – Need for benches and other rest areas near the creek crossing. – Desire for additional lighting along Orr Street, especially near the creek. – Adding garbage and recycling containers near the bridge to reduce litter and debris from entering the creek. – Support for measures to reduce the speed of vehicles, like speed bumps, on Orr and Ford Streets. – Need for ADA and accessibility compliance, especially for nearby residents. – Request that emergency services not take Orr Street to access the hospital, continuing current routes. – Concerns about traffic safety and the impact of additional traffic on children who play on Orr Street, as the roadway is narrow.

Workshop 2 - August 23, 2022
– On Alternative 3, most attendees supported the pedestrian, bike, and ERV access, but did not support the turnarounds (cul-de-sac) on the north and south ends of the bridge. – Desire for an alternative like Alternative 3, but without a cul-de-sac on the north end and replacing cul-de-sac on the south end with a T-turnaround or Hammerhead.
– Request to keep existing church structures and walnut tree. – Interest in 10’ travel lanes and bike lanes on the entire length of the roadway. – Request to implement City of Ukiah Climate Emergency Resolution in design to accommodate alternative transportation.
– Interest in more information about the pros and cons of each alternative. – Desire to review FEMA Hydraulics report.
– Belief that there should be an alternative with no emergency access to reduce costs. – Belief that a “No Bridge” alternative should have been considered, where the creek is restored to its natural state and the roadway is repaired but left as a dead-end.

4. Improvement Alternatives
In coordination with the City, three alternative concept designs for replacement of the Orr Street Bridge and multimodal improvements to Orr Street were developed. The proposed design alternatives are intended to meet the project goals by improving walkability, bike friendliness, and access along the Orr Street corridor and across Orrs Creek. The three proposed design alternatives for the bridge are as follows:
– Design Alternative 1: Two-Lane Vehicular Bridge – Allows two (2) lanes for vehicular traffic, bicycle, and pedestrian access along the Orr Street Bridge corridor. The cross-section on the bridge includes 12’ wide vehicular traffic lanes as well as 5’ wide pedestrian sidewalks and 4’ bicycle lanes on both sides. Additionally, this alternative proposes installing speed humps along Orr Street south of Brush Street and mid-way between Ford Street and the bridge.
– Design Alternative 2: Single-Lane Vehicular Bridge – Allows one (1) lane for vehicular traffic, bicycle, and pedestrian access along the Orr Street Bridge corridor. This design allows vehicles to cross the Orr Street Bridge with a single lane (vehicles take turns via stop control). The cross-section includes a 16’ wide lane that is shared between vehicular traffic and bicyclists, and 5’ wide pedestrian sidewalks on both sides of the bridge. – Design Alternative 3A: Bridge Open to Pedestrians, Bicycles, and Emergency Vehicles Only – Allows bicycles, pedestrians, and emergency vehicles (police, fire) only. The bridge cross-section would be approximately 14’ wide to allow bicycle and pedestrian access across the Orr Street Bridge. Removable bollards would be placed at each end of the road to prevent vehicular access. This alternative also proposes cul-de-sacs at both ends of Orr Street just before the Orr Street Bridge for vehicles (including City trash collection trucks and delivery vehicles) to turn around to meet City fire code. The cul-de-sacs would have impacts to adjacent properties and require rightof-way acquisition. Through feedback from the community and City, this original concept was modified to consider different turnaround options rather than cul-de-sacs that would be less invasive to private property (see Alternative 3B).
– Design Alternative 3B: Bridge Open to Pedestrians, Bicycles, and Emergency Vehicles Only – This is the same as Alternative 3A, except instead of proposing cul-de-sacs, alternative turnaround options were further considered. First, on the north side of the bridge, implementing a cul-de-sac here would require removal of a structure and displace residents. With the new senior housing development on the north side, there is an access driveway just north of the bridge that can be used to provide a way for vehicles to turn around. Therefore, the proposed cul-de-sac on the north side has been removed in this Alternative. On the south side, however, there are no other access for vehicles to turn around. Therefore, this alternative considered either a “T-turnaround” or a “Hammerhead” turnaround, rather than a cul-de-sac because these would require less area and significantly reduce impacts to private property. A “T-turnaround” was ultimately proposed as it would impact less properties.

For all three alternatives, the improvements along Orr Street south of the bridge would be generally consistent. Along the roadway the width varies based on site constraints. The following cross-section widths and configurations are proposed.
– The section along Orr Street near Ford Street would consist of a 4’ wide pedestrian sidewalk along the west side of Orr Street, a 12’ wide southbound lane, and a 10’ wide northbound lane. – A 4’ wide pedestrian sidewalk is proposed along the north side of Ford Street to connect to the proposed sidewalk along Orr Street, and connect to the existing sidewalk along Ford Street, filling in the sidewalk gap. ADAcompliant pedestrian ramps would be installed at the intersection of Ford Street and Orr Street. – The section along Orr Street as you travel north and approach the Orr Street Bridge would consist of a 4’ wide pedestrian sidewalk on the west side of Orr Street, an 8’ wide parking lane along the west side of Orr Street, a 12’ wide southbound lane, and a 12’ wide northbound lane. The amount of available parking space is reduced with Alternative 3A and 3B due to the turnaround options.

The following Figures present the layout of the design alternatives.

5. Environmental Analysis
A preliminary evaluation and overview of environmental considerations has been conducted as part of this study, and is documented in a separate memorandum attached in Appendix C. The evaluation considered three alternatives based on the outcome of the first round of public meetings: a two-lane bridge with sidewalks and bike lanes (Alternative 1), a single-lane bridge with sidewalks and bike lanes (Alternative 2), and a Pedestrian/Bicycle access bridge (Alternative 3).

The environmental overview evaluates a creek crossing and other potentially affected waterbodies, floodplain encroachment, existing land cover types, recorded occurrences of special-status plant and wildlife species, critical habitat, prime farmland, Williamson Act contracts, and the potential for contaminated soil or groundwater.

The Project area includes Orrs Creek, which is classified as a freshwater forested/shrub wetland and is a tributary to the Russian River, located 0.04 miles east of Orr Street. Each of the design alternatives involve construction within the FEMA Regulatory Floodway. Alternative 3 would have the lowest potential to impact the Orrs Creek floodplain and aquatic resources as it is the narrowest bridge proposed. Alternative 1 would have the highest potential for impacts as it is the widest bridge crossing. All three alternatives are not anticipated to have impacts on important farmland resources. The special-status special evaluation identified four federally-listed wildlife species and three federallylisted plant species with potential to occur within the Project vicinity. Again, Alternative 1 would have the greatest potential for impacts to special-status species as it has the largest footprint, while Alternative 3 would have the least potential for impacts, in addition to impacts associated with vehicles (i.e., road runoff). The Project area does not contain any critical habitat, however cumulative runoff from the Project area could have indirect impacts to critical habitat downstream.

In regard to cultural resources, the presence of known archaeological and historical sites throughout the County and the proximity of the Project to the Russian River suggests that the area is sensitive for prehistoric and historic cultural resources. A preliminary evaluation of soil and groundwater contamination within 0.25 miles of the Project area resulted in a very low anticipation to encounter contaminated groundwater or soil during construction. However, additional field evaluations may be necessary to detect levels of contaminants, if any, prior to the construction of the Project.

The environmental analysis also describes the anticipated level of CEQA review for each Alternative. Alternative 1 would likely require an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), while both Alternatives 2 and 3 may meet a Class 2 Categorical Exemption or IS/MND. The Class 2 Categorical Exemption covers replacement or reconstruction of existing structures or facilities where the new structure will be located at the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. As part of a review for exemption, the City of Ukiah would need to evaluate the project against the list of exceptions outlined in Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines.

6. Hydraulics Analysis
A hydraulics analysis was conducted of Orrs Creek to evaluate the conceptual alternative designs of the planned Orr Street Bridge improvements for the Project. The analysis provides a hydraulic assessment to estimate water surface profile, flow depth, and flow velocity in the Orrs Creek in the vicinity of the Project for the pre-project and post-project conditions, and an evaluation of the bridge scour for the post-project conditions. This section presents a summary of the findings. The full Hydraulics Report in contained within Appendix D.

Page 360 of 625 ends

GHD | CITY OF UKIAH | 12571956 | Orr Street Bridge & Corridor Study 14 The hydraulic model used for this study was the model developed as a part of the FEMA Preliminary Flood Insurance Study (FIS) completed for Mendocino County (FEMA, 2022). The Preliminary FIS analysis included updated survey information of key structures including the Orr St. Bridge. The FEMA modeling was completed in the ACOE HEC-RAS software platform. Updated topographic information was obtained within the channel in in February and March 2022 and was used for this study.

Orrs Creek at the Project location is located within a FEMA Regulatory Floodway and Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) Zone AE (2011). Zone AE represents areas which are subject to inundation by the 1-percent-annual flood (100-yr flood) also known as the Base Flood.

Each alternative was assumed to have the same abutment layout and location, along with identical Bridge Deck and thickness dimensions. Alternatives varied in bridge width and approach designs. Because the proposed alternatives all had soffit elevations placed one foot above the Existing 100-year water surface elevation (WSE), the varying spans and approaches did not hydraulically affect the performance of each alternative. The model results presented a “postProject” WSE of 611.36 feet upstream and 611.32 feet downstream of the bridge. The proposed bridge soffit was determined based on the average of these two plus one foot to meet a “no rise” certification.

Preliminary bridge scour analyses were conducted as part of this study and included two primary components:
contraction scour at the bridge, and local scour at the abutments. The sum of these two represents the total bridge scour. The results presented contraction scour being minimal depth, and abutment scour being much larger. Total scour was estimated to be 9.68 feet at the left abutment and 12.48 feet at the right abutment, looking downstream.

The right abutment is estimated to have a deeper scour because it obstructs a higher flow area. The preliminary scour analysis indicates that scour revetments would need to be included in the future design phases of this Project. The above scour analysis was based on conceptual designs of the Alternatives without channel-specific geotechnical information. Design specific analyses and site-specific geotechnical information may result in varying scour calculations and mitigations.

8. Advance Planning Study for Bridge
An advance planning study (APS) was performed for the bridge structure. The APS contains the preliminary design considerations for the proposed bridge structure including an evaluation of various structure types and associated factors. The full report is included in Appendix E. The APS identifies a recommended structure type based on various factors including constructability and staging, estimated construction duration, estimated cost, utilities, drainage, approach types, aesthetics, and falsework. The APS provides a preliminary cost estimate of the bridge, a plan and profile of Alternative 3. Bridge types that were evaluated include: a precast prestressed (PC/PS) box beam, cast-inplace prestressed box girder, pre-engineered steel truss, and structural streel girder bridges. The recommended bridge structure is the precast prestressed box beam girders with ultra high-performance concrete (UHPC) polymer deck slab as this option reduces bridge superstructure depth while being cost-efficient and reduces overall impacts to the approaches and adjacent parcels.

9. Cost Estimates
Preliminary cost estimates were developed based on unit-cost and quantities for the three alternatives. The full breakdown of the cost estimates are provided in Appendix F. The preliminary costs for each alternative are presented in Table 9-1 below.

10. Funding / Next Steps
Bridge Investment Program (BIP)
The Bridge Investment Program (BIP) is a competitive, discretionary program administered by FHWA that focuses on existing bridges to reduce the overall number of bridges in poor condition, or in fair condition at risk of falling into poor condition. It also expands applicant eligibilities to create opportunity for all levels of government to be direct recipients of program funds. Alongside states and federal lands management agencies, metropolitan planning organizations and local and tribal governments can also apply directly to FHWA, making it easier to advance projects at the local level that meet community needs. Bridge Project Grants under the Bridge Investment Program are available for bridges with total eligible project costs up to $100 million, with minimum grant awards of $2.5 million, and maximum grant awards of 80 percent of the total eligible project costs.

Highway Bridge Program (HBP)
The City has considered options for rehabilitation or complete replacement of the Orr Street bridge, possibly through the Caltrans administered Highway Bridge Program (HBP). The HBP is a safety program that provides federal aid to Local Public Agencies (LPAs) to replace and rehabilitate structurally deficient, locally owned public highway bridges or to complete preventive maintenance on bridges that are not deficient. To be eligible to receive HBP funds, a bridge must be owned and maintained by a California LPA, be open to public travel, in the National Bridge Inventory, be in poor condition, be seismically vulnerable, scour critical or have a PCI below 70%. The information must be obtained from the most current Bridge Inspection Report.

Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)
The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program was implemented to support surface transportation projects and other related efforts that contribute air quality improvements and provide congestion relief. Funds are directed to transportation projects and programs, which contribute to the attainment and maintenance of National Ambient Air Quality Standards in nonattainment or air quality maintenance areas for ozone, carbon monoxide, or particulate matter under provisions in the Federal Clean Air Act. Eligible CMAQ projects include public transit improvements; high occupancy vehicle lanes; Intelligent Transportation System Infrastructure; traffic management and traveler information systems (i.e., electric toll collection systems); employer-based transportation management plans and incentives; traffic flow improvement programs (signal coordination); fringe parking facilities serving multiple occupancy vehicles; shared ride services; bicycle and pedestrian facilities; flexible work-hour programs; outreach activities establishing Transportation Management Associations; fare/fee subsidy programs; and under certain conditions, Particulate Matter improvement projects.

Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP)
Surface Transportation Block Grant Program funds are apportioned to States to provide flexible funding that may be used by States and localities for projects to preserve or improve conditions and performance on any Federal-Aid highway, bridge projects on any public road, facilities for active transportation, transit capital projects and public bus terminals and facilities. Fifty percent of a State’s funds are to be distributed to areas based on population, known as Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) funds. In addition, a portion of its RSTP funds is to be set aside for bridges not on Federal-Aid highways. Furthermore, a special rule is provided to allow a portion of funds reserved for rural areas to be spent on rural minor collectors. Examples of projects eligible for RSTP include highway projects; bridges (including construction, reconstruction, seismic retrofit, and painting); transit capital improvements; carpool, parking, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities; safety improvements and hazard elimination; research; traffic management systems; surface transportation planning; transportation enhancement activities and control measures; and wetland and other environmental mitigation.

GHD | CITY OF UKIAH | 12571956 | Orr Street Bridge & Corridor Study 17 Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG)
The STBG is a program under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and has the most flexible eligibilities among all Federal-Aid highway programs. The STBG promotes flexibility in State and local transportation decisions and provides flexible funding to best address State and local transportation needs. (See RSTP) State Highway Operations and Protection Program (SHOPP) The State Highway Operating and Protection Plan (SHOPP) is a four‐year program of projects that have the purpose of collision reduction, major damage restoration, bridge preservation, roadway preservation, roadside preservation, mobility enhancement, and preservation of other transportation facilities related to the state highway system. Non‐ capital projects are programmed through the SHOPP. The SHOPP is adopted simultaneously with the STIP every two years. While SLOCOG is allowed input to the SHOPP, the State has sole discretionary authority over the use of SHOPP funds. The SHOPP program includes projects designed to maintain the safety and operational integrity of the state highway system. Most of the projects are for pavement rehabilitation, bridge rehabilitation, and traffic safety improvements. Other projects may include such things as operational improvements (e.g., traffic signalization) and roadside rest areas. It does not include projects to add through lanes to increase capacity.

Reconnecting Communities: Highways to Boulevards (RC:H2B) Program The RC:H2B program was established, to be administered by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), with guidance from the California State Transportation Agency, and in consultation with the California Transportation Commission, the Department of Housing and Community Development, the Strategic Growth Council, and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, to provide funding, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for the purpose of awarding competitive grants to eligible entities, in partnership with Caltrans, for planning or implementing the conversion or transformation of underutilized state highways into multimodal corridors that serve residents of underserved communities. The primary goal of the RC:H2B Pilot Program is to reconnect communities harmed by transportation infrastructure, through community-supported planning activities and capital construction projects that are championed by those communities.

Mendocino Council of Governments (MCOG)
Regional grants from MCOG may be a viable source of funding for the pedestrian and access improvements and possibly the bridge replacement, if available, or at least a portion of the costs. If regional grants (or local grants also) are pursued as a portion of the cost, they could potentially be used as leverage funds for seeking federal or state grants.

Additional Grant Programs
Additional grant programs that may fund active transportation improvements like those included in this Plan include:
– Clean Mobility Options
– Local Partnership Program
– Office of Traffic Safety Grant Program
– Solutions for Congested Corridors
– Sustainable Transportation Equity Project
– Transformative Climate Communities
– Transportation Development Act Funding
