§9056 PURPOSE AND INTENT
The purpose of this article is to create an expedient ministerial approval process for residential Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). To do so, this article sets forth development standards in conformance with California Government Code and tailored to meet the changing needs of Ukiah communities and expand housing choices in all neighborhoods. §9056.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) on lots developed with a primary single-family or multifamily residence or for which a primary residence is proposed shall be ministerially permitted and subject to the following standards/criteria:

A. The requirements of this Article are applicable to all existing ADUs, as well as those proposed after the effective date hereof, except for legal nonconforming units, or as specifically provided herein. Existing ADUs as of the date hereof inconsistent with the provisions listed herein shall be considered legal nonconforming; provided, that they were legal at the time of their creation.

B. ADUs shall be deemed not to exceed the allowable density for the residential lot upon which an ADU is located. ADUs are deemed a residential use that is consistent with the existing general plan and zoning designation for the lot on which an ADU is located with a primary residence.

C. These regulations do not allow the division of property upon which an accessory dwelling unit is located unless all requirements of the applicable zoning district or State law are met.

D. The ADU be rented separate from the primary residence but may not be sold or otherwise conveyed separate from the primary residence unless the conveyance meets the requirements of Government Code Sections 66340 through 66342.

E. Accessory dwelling units may be attached to existing single-family or multiple-family residences or detached as separate structures.

F. An ADU must meet all applicable building and fire codes, and shall have electric, water and sewer or septic service with the type of meter arrangement at the property owner’s Attachment 2

Page 166 of 277 ends

option. Water, sewer, and electrical services shall be available prior to the issuance of a building permit for an ADU. No new water or sewer connection fees may be required for ADUs that are contained within the existing space of a single-family or multifamily residence or accessory structure, unless the ADU is constructed with a new single-family home. Any impact fees charged for an accessory dwelling unit of 750 square feet or more shall be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit.

G. Nothing in this chapter shall preclude the development of a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit as regulated by Ukiah City Code and Government Code §66333 - 66339. §9056.2 DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS
A. Applications for a building permit for an ADU shall be deemed approved if the local agency has not acted on the completed application within 60 days If approved, no additional parking or other development standards shall be applied except for building code and fire safety requirements.

B. Applications for a building permit within any zoning district where residential uses are allowed by right shall be approved ministerially to develop any of the following:
a. Unit Type. An ADU may be attached to an existing primary residence, converted from a portion of the existing living area of the primary residence, detached and on the same legal lot as a primary residence, converted from the entirety of or a portion of an existing accessory structure, or attached to an existing or proposed accessory structure.
b. Number of Units. The number of ADUs allowed on a single lot shall be:
i. On a lot that contains an existing or proposed single-family dwelling: One ADU attached or detached.
ii. On a lot that contains an existing multifamily dwelling: Two ADUs, detached from the multifamily structure, and up to 25 percent of the number of units in the existing multifamily dwelling converted from existing non-livable space in a multifamily structure.
iii. On a lot that contains a proposed multifamily dwelling: Two ADUs, detached from the multifamily structure.

C. Size. The maximum size of a detached ADU shall be one thousand two hundred (1,200) square feet. The conversion of an existing accessory structure or a portion of the existing primary residence to an ADU is not subject to unit size requirements.

D. Improvements. The City shall not require, as a condition for ministerial approval of a permit application for the creation of an ADU, the correction of nonconforming zoning conditions. For purposes of this section, "nonconforming zoning condition" means a physical improvement on a property that does not conform with current zoning standards. Curb, gutter, sidewalk, paving and street trees, however, shall be required when that infrastructure does not exist, and the proposed building permit value is equal to or greater than one-third (1/3) of the value of the existing structure per UCC §9181 (Street Improvements with Development of Property).

Page 167 of 277 ends

E. Lot Size: No minimum lot size shall be required.

The following yard setback requirements shall apply to ADUs:

A. Front Yard: The same as the existing primary residence, but no closer than five feet (5').

B. Side Yard or Rear Yard: Four feet (4').

C. No setback shall be required for an existing living area, garage, or accessory structure or a structure constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing structure that is converted to an ADU or to a portion of an ADU.

D. The application of front yard setbacks cannot preclude an ADU of at least 800 square feet and must not unduly constrain the creation of all types of ADUs. §9056.4 PARKING
A. Parking requirements for the ADU shall be one off-street space (independently accessible or tandem) in addition to the accessible parking spaces required for the existing single-family or multifamily residence. If the primary residence was legally constructed at a time when on-site parking was not required, then only the parking space(s) for the ADU shall be required.

B. Off-street parking shall be permitted in setback areas in compliance with the definition of "off-street parking" found in section 9278B of this code or through tandem parking.

C. Parking standards will not be imposed for an ADU in any of the following instances:

1 ORDINANCE NO.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH ADDING AND

AMENDING VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE UKIAH CITY CODE REGULATING

ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
The City Council of the City of Ukiah hereby ordains as follows.

SECTION 1
Findings and Declarations. The City Council finds and declares as follows:

A. The proposed amendments to Division 9, Chapter 2 of the Ukiah City Code are consistent with the 2040 Ukiah General Plan and further the goals, objectives, and policies of the 6th Cycle General Plan Housing Element; and.

B. Per the California Government Code, existing law provides for the creation by local ordinance, or by ministerial approval if a local agency has not adopted an ordinance, of accessory dwelling units to allow single-family or multifamily dwelling residential use in accordance with specified standards and conditions. Existing law also provides for the creation of junior accessory dwelling units by local ordinance, or, if a local agency has not adopted an ordinance, by ministerial approval, in accordance with specified standards and conditions.

C. The adoption of this ADU Ordinance is a necessary action to continue progress towards production of affordable housing in a way that minimizes impacts to local neighborhoods.

D. Then the State revises ADU law, a local jurisdiction’s ADU Ordinance, if non-compliant with the new ADU laws, is rendered “null and void” and local jurisdictions must continue to process ADU applications through a ministerial process in accordance with State law.

E. The State legislature declared that “Housing is a statewide concern”, that California faces a housing crisis, that ADUs are a valuable form of housing, and that local jurisdictions are mandated to comply with applicable State housing laws.

SECTION 2
Division 9, Chapter 2, Article 3, Low density Residential (R-1) of the Ukiah City Code is amended to read as follows (unchanged text is omitted and is shown by “* * *”):

5. Resolution
Summary: Council is requested to conduct a Public Hearing to consider adoption of a Resolution approving the submittal of a 2023-2024 CDBG Program Income-Only application in response to the 2023 State Community Development Block Grant Program Notice of Funding Availability, Amendment 1; and approve corresponding budget amendments if awarded funding for the application.

Background: Over the past two years the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has made changes to the application procedures for accessing the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Income (PI). A new process has been created by which local jurisdictions can submit PI-Only applications to access their Program Income. As of June 30, 2024, the City had $251,297 in CDBG PI, which HCD rules require the City to apply to a PI-only application or allocate to a project, or projects, in response to the 2024 CDBG NOFA. Given that the 2024 NOFA has not yet been released, Staff recommends that Council conduct a Public Hearing to consider and adopt a Resolution submitting an application to HCD to allocate the City’s PI Cash-On-Hand to a new Business Assistance Program in response to the 2023 State Community Development Block Grant Program Notice of Funding Availability, Amendment 1 (Attachment 1).

The proposed new Business Assistance Program has been designed to operate in a similar fashion to the successful Business Assistance Program that recently closed through Council Resolution 2024-28 on June 19, 2024. The closed program operated under state CDBG standard agreement 20-CDBG-12041. The most notable proposed changes to the new program include the removal of an emergency Covid pandemic loan forgiveness process and an increase in the maximum loan amount from $70,000 to $140,000 to create or retain more low-and moderate-income jobs and produce a larger economic impact per loan.

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 12, 2024. Regulations also require a public hearing to adopt a Resolution authorizing submittal of applications to HCD. That is the purpose of this public hearing.

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 January 30, 2024, the City published a public notice in the Ukiah Daily Journal (Attachment 2) announcing the public meeting and describing the 2023 and 2024 NOFA process. Staff also emailed local stakeholders about the meeting. On February 12, 2024, staff met with local stakeholders and other City staff to discuss the 2023 and 2024 NOFAs and the City's local application process. Staff also distributed the City's Local Application form (Attachment 3), which mirrors application threshold requirements in the State CDBG application.

Local applications were due by February 26, 2024, and three applications were received from the Community Development Department by the deadline. The three applications were for a Business Assistance Program (Attachment 4), a planning project related to fire stations, and a CDBG First-Time Homebuyer Program (FTHB). The FTHB program was proposed partially in response to citizen comments at the February 12th meeting that homeownership opportunities are in high demand in the Ukiah area. The Business Assistance Program was selected for the PI-Only Application because the other two proposals will require significantly more funds than the available $251,297 in Program Income Cash On Hand (PI COH). They will be considered for the 2024 CDBG NOFA that may be released in the next 60 days.

Discussion: The submitted local application for a Business Assistance Program met basic CDBG eligibility requirements, and it was the only one of the three submitted applications that could be implemented for the available Program Income dollar amount. Therefore, staff recommends that Council conduct a Public Hearing and authorize the submittal of the City of Ukiah Business Assistance Program application to HCD for use of the City’s existing Program Income.

Staff Recommendation to Council
The following is requested and is included in the attached Resolution (Attachment 5):

City of Ukiah Business Assistance Program - $251,297 (includes activity + activity delivery + general administration).

To proceed with this recommendation, Staff requests that Council 1) conduct a Public Hearing; and 2) adopt the Resolution in Attachment 5 authorizing a PI-Only application be submitted to HCD for the above activities; and 3) approve corresponding budget amendments if the application is awarded.

Recommended Action: Conduct a Public Hearing and adopt resolution approving the submittal of a 2023- 2024 CDBG Program Income-Only application in response to the 2023 State Community Development Block Grant Program Notice of Funding Availability, Amendment 1; and approve corresponding budget amendments if awarded funding for the application.

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (Department) is announcing the release of an amendment to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program 2023 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) issued on September 29, 2023. The original NOFA was for approximately $19 million in federal funds for the Community Development Block Grant Program only for applications from projects that remain on the waitlist established for Over-the-Counter projects after the 2019-2020 CDBG NOFA. This Amendment #1 makes available another $19 million for Housing, Community Development, and Economic Development Projects in an Over-the-Counter process.

Funding for this NOFA is available to the state from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), pursuant to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and 24 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 570 Subpart I “State Community Development Block Grant Program.” These regulations require the state to make funds available to the state’s non-entitlement Units of General Local Government (UGLGs). Units of General Local Government are defined by HUD as political subdivisions of the state, which in California are towns, cities, and counties.

Only non-federally recognized Tribes can receive funding through applications submitted by non-entitlement Units of General Local Government. No direct funding from the Department can be provided to Tribes, Tribally-Designated Housing Entities, or nonprofits.

To award the balance of available 2023 funding, the Department is amending the original September 29, 2023 NOFA as follows:

1. To make an additional $19 million available for Housing, Community Development, and Economic Development Projects. Applications for new projects are due on or before Tuesday, April 30, 2024.

D. Authorizing Legislation
Funding under this NOFA is made available pursuant to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. This NOFA should be read in conjunction with the following statutes, regulations, and guidelines that establish state and federal CDBG requirements. Relevant legal authorities include, but are not limited to, the following:
 24 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §570.480, et. Seq, Federal CDBG Regulations
 24 CFR Part 58, Environmental Review Procedures
 2 CFR Part 200, Uniform Grant Administration Requirements  Health & Safety Code (HSC) §§50825-50834, State of California CDBG program
 2020-2024 State of California Consolidated Plan
 2022-2023 State of California Annual Action Plan
 CDBG Program Guidelines, California Department of Housing and Community Development
If there are changes to federal or state statutes or regulations, other laws governing the CDBG program, or funding is modified by Congress, HUD, the Department, or the state Legislature, these changes may become effective immediately and apply to funded activities under this NOFA.

Note: The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (HCDA) is codified as Title 42 U.S.C. §5301, et. seq.: thus, those citations are interchangeable and cite the same statute language. For example, the citation of HCDA 105(a)(22) and 42 U.S.C.§5305(a)(22) are references to the same statute language. For the purposes of this NOFA, we will use the 42 U.S.C. §5301 citations for references to the federal statutes.

In administering this NOFA, if there is a conflict between the federal statutes or regulations and state statutes or guidelines, the federal statutes and regulations shall prevail. All activities in this NOFA are subject to availability of funds and continuing HUD and California legislative authority.

III. Program Requirements
All Program Requirements, Application, Application Threshold, and Initial Requirements set forth in Sections III-V must be met. Failure to include timely satisfy all of the requirements will result in disqualification.

A. Eligible Applicants
Only non-entitlement Units of General Local Government such as cities, counties and municipalities that had a waitlisted Over-the-Counter applicationWaitlisted Project under the 2019-2020 NOFA or are submitting an application for a new Community Development, Housing, or Economic Development Project are eligible to apply.

Waitlisted Project Aapplications can only be submitted for previously-applied for waitlisted projects that have not yet been funded. Federally -recognized Tribes, nonfederally -recognized Tribes and nonprofits may receive assistance only by entering into a subrecipient agreement*, a Memorandum of Understanding, or a contract with an eligible Applicant.
*A subrecipient agreement is a written agreement in effect for each subrecipient before giving out any CDBG funds and remaining in effect for the period during which a subrecipient has control over any CDBG funds, including Program Income. At a minimum, a subrecipient agreement must contain content required by the federal CDBG regulations at 24 CFR §570.503.

B. Non-Entitlement Status
CDBG program funds are provided as grants to Non-Entitlement Units of General Local Government (UGLGs). These UGLGs are encouraged to partner with federally- and non-federally recognized Tribes, districts, agencies, nonprofit service providers, and other community organizations, whenever appropriate, to prepare and submit applications for CDBG funding, and to administer and complete CDBG-funded programs and projects.

Incorporated cities located in an urban county as defined by 42 U.S.C. §5302 (a)(6) must formally elect to be excluded from participation in the urban county entitlement status. HUD and the Department must be notified that the city has elected to be excluded from the urban county participation as per 24 CFR 570.307(g) for it to be eligible for the state CDBG program. Only eligible activities from eligible Applicants will be considered for an award.

Applications for eligible activities outside the Applicant's Jurisdiction must include a legally binding agreement, acceptable to the Department, with the city or county in which the eligible Activity is located. Applicants may not apply to both the state CDBG program and to a CDBG program administered by an Urban County or other entitlement entity during the same program year.

C. Housing Element Compliance
As per HSC §50829, the Applicant must submit a draft or adopted housing element to the Department in accordance with the requirements listed in Government Code (GC) California Department of Housing and Community Development 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA –

Applicants that have adopted growth controls, including, but not limited to, restrictions on residential building permits and residential buildable lots, that do not meet the exception criteria in HSC §50830 (b) and (c) are ineligible for funding as per HSC §50830. Applicants intending to apply for CDBG funds are required to submit a signed 2023 CDBG Application Certifications and Statement of Assurances form that certifies the Applicant has not adopted any residential growth controls or adopted residential growth controls meet the applicable exception criteria. Failure to submit an executed Application Certifications and Statement of Assurances at the time of application will result in Applicant ineligibility.

E. Application Submittal
Applicants must meet the following requirements when the application is submitted to be eligible to apply for funding under this NOFA:
 An eligible Applicant may apply on its own behalf.
 An eligible Applicant may apply on behalf of one or more other eligible Applicants.

F. Limits for Administration and Planning

1. Program Administration
The Department can use 3% of total funding for administration costs.

2. General Administration
Applicants may request up to a flat 7% of the total CDBG grant funding requested by that Applicant for General Administration (GA). GA costs may include, but are not limited to, the following categories:
 Salaries, wages, and related costs of the Grantee’s staff engaged in activities associated with the general administration of the CDBG program, including general management, general legal services, accounting, and auditing.
 Travel costs incurred in carrying out the general management of the program.
 Administrative services performed under third-party contracts, including contracts for such services as general legal services, accounting services, and ad services.
 Costs for goods and services related to the general management of the program, including rental and maintenance of office space, insurance utilities, office supplies, and rental or purchase of office equipment.
 Costs incurred in providing information and resources to individuals, families, and households in the LMI group, and to citizen organizations participating in the planning,
implementation, or assessment of the Grantee’s program.  Administrative funding can also be used for fair housing activities in compliance with the requirements of state CDBG Guidelines §103.
 Completion of the NEPA Environmental Review Record for General Administration Activities (GA NEPA)
 All costs must be reasonable, necessary, allocable and otherwise allowable in relation to the administration of the CDBG award and in accordance with 2 CFR 200 Subpart E.
 If a cost cannot be associated with one of the above listed groups and cannot be associated with direct project costs, the Department will, upon the Grantee's request, review and determine whether it is an administrative cost, an Activity Delivery cost, or an ineligible cost according to 24 CFR §§570.489 and §570.482.

The calculation to determine the maximum allowable General Administration amount is the amount of Activity expenses plus Activity Delivery expenses, multiplied by 7%.

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA –
Amendment #1
13

Page 201 of 277 ends

Applicants may elect to assign more funds to Activity costs and take less than the 7% as their GA allocation.

GA for Program Income (PI) funds is 17% of the annual PI receipts for the most recently completed HCD Program Year (e.g., for PY 2023, receipts PY 2022 (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023).

For project budgets with both grant award and PI as funding sources, please identify how much GA will be from each source to ensure that GA stays within the appropriate program caps.

G. Activity Delivery
Activity Delivery Costs (ADCs) are any allowable costs incurred by the grantee for implementing and carrying out eligible CDBG activities that are separate from the cost of the actual activity (construction reimbursement, Economic Development loan payments, substance payments, etc.). All ADCs are allocable to a CDBG-eligible activity that meets a National Objective, including all costs integral to the delivery of the final CDBG-assisted activity. ADCs are not Administration or funds used for the general operation of CDBG programs, but rather the costs incurred to achieve the specific eligible activity and meet a National Objective. ADCs may include, but are not limited to:
 Costs for completing a project-specific environmental review and publication.  Engineering/design/architectural services for the specific project  Marketing for the specific CDBG program
 Applicant intake/assistance, staff time to sit with applicants to fill out an application or collecting income and application documentation.  Completing reports or meetings for the specific CDBG grant HUD does not establish a maximum ADC percentage, as the level of effort and reasonable costs for ADCs will vary by program type, location, and scale. While HCD is not establishing an ADC cap in this NOFA, this section is designed to provide grantees with guidance to ensure program costs and ADCs are reasonable and necessary. Past HUD trainings have indicated, that in general ADCs costs between 15-25%, are reasonable for most CDBG programs. This range can be considered a safe harbor for reasonable ADCs. However, there may be times when significant investment in outreach, application assistance, complex environmental mitigation, etc. could significantly increase the ratio between ADCs and Activity Costs. Grantees must ensure that proper documentation demonstrating that ADCs are cost reasonable and necessary is included in the program file if the ratio of those costs is outside of this safe harbor range.

ADCs are generally eligible as pre-agreement costs provided that the initial funding California Department of Housing and Community Development 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA –
Amendment #1
14

Page 202 of 277 ends

for those costs is identified as a temporary funding source (such as a loan from a local fund whereby the loan is float-funding the CDBG Activity pre-agreement costs, but such costs must be repaid so that the temporary loaned funds may be used as originally intended) and that the costs are budgeted to be part of the CDBG Activity.

Note: ADC is NOT a separate category when completing the Budget in the eCivis Portal. If budgeting for ADC, ADC should be a line item under the “Activity” category for the Budget when completing the application.

H. Insufficient Demand
If there is insufficient demand under this NOFA, HCD will make the unused funding available under a subsequent NOFA.

I. Eligible Activities
For a complete list of eligible activities allowed under the HCDA, go to 42 U.S.C. §5305 and Chapter 2 of the current version of the CDBG Grants Management Manual which is found on the CDBG page of HCD’s website.

J. Application Limits
Pursuant to both federal and state laws all CDBG costs must:
(1) be eligible;
(2) be necessary;
(3) be reasonable;
(4) demonstrate no duplication of benefit;
(5) not be used to supplant local or state resources; and (6) be guarded against fraud
Each Jjurisdiction can submit applications only for the projects waitlisted under the 2019-2020 Waitlist (a Waitlisted Project) and for no more than one (1) application for a New Project during this NOFA cycle. The maximum award amount per jurisdiction is the amount previously applied for under the 2019-2020 NOFA for a Waitlisted Project, plus $3.253 million for a New Project application. The $3.253 million per jurisdiction limits do not apply to Colonias and Native American setasides. Program Income (PI) included in an activity budget does not count against the Jjurisdiction’s maximum award limits.

Each Project must have a unique application with a complete budget, National Objective, scope of work, and milestone timeline.

Applicants are encouraged to review the sample draft Standard Agreement in California Department of Housing and Community Development 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA –
Amendment #1

Appendix E as a sample of the applicable terms and conditions required for CDBG funded activities. The form and content of the sample draft Standard Agreement is subject to revision without prior notice.

IV. Application Requirements
A. National Objectives
CDBG -funded activities must meet one of three National Objectives:
 Benefit LMI persons
 Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight  Meet an urgent need
At least 70% of the funds awarded must benefit LMI individuals or households. No Activity or portion of a program assisted by these funds may exclude from its benefits the lowest income-eligible group. Individual activities must meet one of the following National Objectives which are defined and described in detail in Chapter 2 of the CDBG Grants Management Manual:

1. Low- to Moderate-Income

2. Slums and Blight on an area basis (SBA) and on a spot basis (SBS)

3. Urgent Need
For the purposes of this NOFA, no Urgent Need applications will be accepted through the NOFA application process without prior Department approval. If you have a program or a project that meets the criteria of Urgent Need, as established by 24 CFR §570.483(d) and you believe your proposed project or program must use Urgent Need as a National Objective to be program eligible, please contact your Department representative for further instructions.

Special requirements apply to Urgent Need. Please contact the Department for more information.

B. Milestones
All CDBG program-funded activities must be timely implemented in accordance with the milestones defined in the Standard Agreement. Applicants must include at least five (5) milestones per Activity application. The first and last milestone and the eExpenditure dDeadline will be prepopulated and cannot be edited by Applicants, nor can they be changed without a contractual signed amendment to the Department’s Standard Agreement:

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA –
Amendment #1
16

Page 204 of 277 ends

 First Milestone: Activity Initiation. Must be completed no later than 60 days from contract executionthe Effective Date of the Standard Agreement.
 Milestone Two: [populated by Applicant – examples below]  Milestone Three: [populated by Applicant]”
 Milestone Four: [populated by Applicant]
 Final Milestone: Activity closeout (must be completed no later than 90 days after the Expenditure Deadline.)
Additional milestones are optional, though encouraged for best practice of Activity implementation. Milestones may be adjusted for delays in application review and Standard Agreement execution. Applicants are encouraged to evaluate feasibility of meeting milestones and build time for unexpected delays into the milestone schedules. Milestones may not extend beyond the Tterm of the Standard Agreement. All milestones proposed by Applicants are subject to the review and approval of the Department in its discretion.

TIP: The Department realizes that Applicants’ proposed milestone dates are estimates. Instead of using an actual date for all optional milestones, please put a time frame.

For example:

Milestone Two: First submittal of a request for reimbursement no later than XX days from the effective date of the Standard
Agreementcontract execution.

Milestone Three: 50 percent completion no later than XX days from the Effective Date of the Standard Agreement.contract execution Milestone Four: Final Building Permits issued no later than XX days from the Effective Date of Standard Agreement
These milestones canmay be updated by your CDBG representative if changes are needed to be made.

C. Conditions
Applicants and awardees acknowledge that the funding opportunities referenced in this NOFA, and all obligations of the Department herein, are expressly subject to and conditioned upon the ongoing availability of funds, as well as the continued authority of the Department to operate the CDBG program.

Page 206 of 277 ends

project at the time a project site is acquired, grantee must complete a NEPA environmental review record prior to
completing the acquisition. Failure to do this will result in a choice limiting action, which prohibits the project from receiving any federal funds in the future. If a site is to be acquired for a CDBG-funded project, regardless of whether CDBG funds are used for acquisition or development and
construction, acceptable evidence of site control will be a conditional purchase contract that is contingent on completion of a NEPA environmental review record and securing federal funds.
b. Construction-related activities must have documented site control for the year in which the application is submitted and for the duration of the Standard Agreement. Public facilities are subject to a five-year no change in use restriction. This restriction will be recorded against the property, will runs with the land, and remains in effect regardless of the ownership of the property.

16. D.B. Application and Activity Requirements

1. Compliance with federal cross-cutting requirements:

At time of application submission, all applications must comply with and provide documentation of HUD’s federal cross-cutting requirements found at 24 CFR §570.600, et seq, and summarized in Section XI: Federal Program Requirements of this NOFA.

2. Application verification:

Applicants must certify upon submission that their application is true and correct to the best of their knowledge: the required application input fields, attachment uploads, and budget(s). Selecting an input field or uploading a blank document to circumvent the application requirements invalidates the application certification and will result in immediate disqualification. Applicants that intentionally input false information or that intentionally upload blank documents will have their good standing with the Department revoked and may be determined to be ineligible for other Department funding. Applicants are warned that iIntentionally providing false information to the Department may constistute is fraud.

3. Applicants must submit their own applications:

Applicants are ultimately responsible for what is submitted at application, even if the application was prepared by a consultant. Applicants that rely on consultants or grant writers to prepare the CDBG application must carefully California Department of Housing and Community Development 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA –
Amendment #1
22

Page 210 of 277 ends

5. and thoroughly review the application for completeness and correctness prior to submittal. All documents requiring signature must be executed by the Authorized Representative identified in the Applicant’s Authorizing Resolution.

4. Timely Submittal:

Applicants are strongly encouraged to give plenty of time for submitting prior to the application cutoff date and at least several hours prior to the cutoff time.

If an input field, upload requirement, or application
component is not functioning correctly, or if there are system outages or other system failures prior to submittal, please contact [email protected] as soon as possible prior to the cutoff time to document the issue so that applications are not disqualified due to technical difficulties. Failure to contact the Department with system issues will not exempt Applicants from application verification requirements.

5. Gap funding:

CDBG is intended to provide stop-gap funding for crucial infrastructure, public safety, housing, and social service projects. CDBG funds may not be obligated to Activities that are documented to already have sufficient funding for the Activity as described, or that have identified multiple funding sources for the same costs, resulting in overfunding of the Activity. CDBG funds must be “but-for” funding for every Activity and may not be used to supplant local or state resources. CDBG grant funds cannot be used to replace funds that have been budgeted and/or expended from another funding source for the same Activity (i.e., there cannot be any Duplication of Benefit.) Pre-agreement costs are generally eligible provided that the initial funding for those costs is identified as a temporary funding source (such as a loan from a local fund wherein the loan is float-funding the CDBG Activity pre-agreement costs, but such costs must be repaid so that the temporary loaned funds may be used as originally intended) and that the costs are budgeted to be part of the CDBG Activity.

6. Good Standing:

The Applicant, and any co-Applicant, together with all respective affiliates, must be in good standing with the Department (i.e. are current on all loan and/or grant obligations, have a satisfactory past performance history in all their prior dealings with the Department, and are in full compliance with all Department contracts and reporting requirements). Applicants not meeting the foregoing requirements shall be ineligible to apply for or receive funding under this NOFA.

California Department of Housing and Community Development 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA –
Amendment #1
23

Page 211 of 277 ends

6.7. Article XXXIV:

Applicants engaging in low-income housing project activities that are subject to Article XXXIV of the California Constitution must show that the project approval process complies with Article XXXIV requirements. The state statutes implementing Article XXXIV can be found at HSC §37000.

Exceptions to Article XXXIV can be found at HSC §37001.

7.8. Racial equity:

Applicants should prioritize the advancement of racial equity in all CDBG programs and across systems and units of government in the Jurisdiction.

The Department asks Applicants to be leaders in the community, facilitating partnerships among service organizations, housing providers, units of government, businesses, the homelessness response system, and other partners to promote racial equity practices.

All Applicants must identify the work performed to ensure racial equity in access to programs, projects, and activities funded with CDBG resources.

Applicants must commit to analyzing disproportionality in access to housing, access to services, quality of service provision, and desired outcomes in Programs and Projects and affirmatively further equitable access, quality of service provision and outcomes for protected classes, including but not limited to Black, Native and Indigenous, Latino/Latina/ Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islanders, and other people of color who have been historically marginalized and are disproportionately impacted by housing segregation, poverty, and homelessness.

Applicants cannot simply rely on delivering a standardization of services to address equity. Applicants must commit to reviewing their current policies and procedures and examining available data to ensure all eligible persons receive equitable services, and support, and are served with dignity, respect, and compassion regardless of circumstances, ability, or identity. See Appendix B of the CDBG Grants Management Manual (pending publication) for Best Practices to Advance Equity and Accessibility.

When applying for 2023 CDBG funds, Applicants should consider:
 What are the community’s racial demographics and the
demographics of those experiencing homelessness, housing, and economic insecurity?
 What are the outcomes of the CDBG programs based on race? What are the requirements for all sub-grantees to look at data to determine racial disparities and then put a plan in place to address California Department of Housing and Community Development 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA –
Amendment #1
24

Page 212 of 277 ends

them?
 How do underserved and marginalized communities learn about and access the CDBG program? What marketing and communication strategies are used to increase equitable access to CDBG programming?
 How does the grant-making process include prioritization for programs that are addressing the disproportionate impacts that housing insecurity, homelessness, economic insecurity, lack of access to equitable health care, and COVID-19 has on communities of color, particularly Black, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, and Native and Indigenous communities?
 How are the voices of Black, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, and Native and Indigenous communities and those having lived with the experience of housing insecurity, homelessness and economic insecurity being centered in a meaningful, sustained way in creating effective approaches to addressing these challenges? How are they involved in the funding decision-making process?
 How are these funds accessible to smaller and non-traditional organizations that have historically been serving communities of color but may not have previously participated formally in government grant programs? How would these funds address the capacity of organizations that are led by Black, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, and Native and Indigenous people?
At application, applicants should provide a list of organizations with which the jurisdiction has partnerships that are addressing racial equity in the housing and homelessness response system, the Economic Development sector, and the health care sector and describe how you partner with them.

The Department will require successful Applicants to submit related racial and ethnic data metrics of their CDBG programming on a quarterly reporting basis.

VI. Application Review
All applications that pass the tThreshold evaluation phase will be reviewed for Activity eligibility. Activities that do not meet program eligibility requirements will be disqualified for funding.

The Department reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to suspend, amend, or modify the California Department of Housing and Community Development 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA –
Amendment #1
25

Page 213 of 277 ends

provisions of this NOFA at any time, including, without limitation, the amount of funds available hereunder. This includes, but is not limited to, authorizing an eligible increase in funding to any Applicant after the Department makes an award under this NOFA.

VII. Award Recommendations
Applications that are eligible, complete, timely submitted, and that satisfy all threshold requirements may be recommended for funding, subject to the availability of funds for the activity(ies) applied for. Applicants recommended for award will officially be notified of awards via an award letter sent via email. Subsequently, the grantee will receive award notification through the eCivis Grants Network.

B. Submission Process
Applicants must follow instructions in this NOFA, the online application, and the CDBG program Guidelines. The Department strongly encourages Applicants to have all required documents on hand when completing the application. Failure to follow instructions and timely submit all required documentation may result in disqualification. Once submitted, applications must stand on their own. It is the Applicant’s responsibility to ensure that the submitted application is clear, complete, and accurate. Department staff may request clarifying information but are unable to accept any new documentation that would provide an unfair advantage over other applications. It is strongly recommended that all documents be reviewed and saved to their own electronic files PRIOR to submission.

The CDBG Application and all required attachments must be submitted to the Department through the eCivis Portal. Applicants must certify that all information is true and complete to the best of their knowledge, under penalty of perjury. Per 83 FR 5848 “Any person who knowingly makes a false claim or statement to HUD may be subject to civil or criminal penalties under 18 U.S.C. §287, 1001 and 31 U.S.C. §3729.’’
Applicants that do not have an account with the eCivis Portal should create an account through the eCivis website. Use the “Create an account” option to initiate a profile. See the available training on the CDBG webpage to learn how to open an account. There is no cost associated with an eCivis Portal account.

C. Applicant Responsibility
It is the duty and responsibility of each Applicant to review the provisions, requirements, and limitations of all funding sources applied for and obtained for a particular project, program, or activity to ensure that each and every requirement of those funding sources is compatible with all Department program requirements and restrictions. Incompatibility of funding sources may result in the denial or cancellation of an award or may result in the placement of conditions or limitations on an award, all as determined by Department in its sole and absolute discretion.

The Department cautions Applicants to use discretion in providing information not specifically requested, including, but not limited to, bank account numbers, personal phone numbers, home addresses, or other personallyidentifying information. By providing this information to the Department, the Applicant is waiving any claims of confidentiality, and consents to the Department’s disclosure of the Applicant’s material upon receipt of a Public Records Act request and without advance notice to the Applicant.

X. Awards announcement and grant implementation
A. Awards announcements
The Department anticipates that Waitlisted Project awards will be announced no later than April 31, 2024 and that New Project awards will be announced no later than July 31, 2024.

XI. Federal program requirements
A. Federal Cross-Cutting Requirements
The CDBG program is administered under the rules and regulations promulgated California Department of Housing and Community Development 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA –
Amendment #1
29

Page 217 of 277 ends

primarily in 24 CFR §570.600, et seq. These primary regulations are known as the federal cross-cutting requirements and form the basis of the programmatic requirements. The Department incorporates all federal cross-cutting requirements into the state CDBG program, and the regulations in Part 570 are translated into required actions on the part of all Grantees of the state CDBG program.

The following is a list of some of the most commonly applicable federal cross-cutting requirements. This is not an exhaustive list.
 Environmental Standards (based on National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 [NEPA])
 Labor Standards (Davis-Bacon and related laws)
 Achieving a HUD National Objective
 Public participation requirements
 Fair Housing and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing  Equal Opportunity and Non-Discrimination in federal Grant Programs  Federal Procurement Guidelines
 National Flood Insurance Program compliance
 Relocation and displacement requirements
 Employment and Contracting Opportunities Section 3 Compliance  Lead-based paint requirements
 No use of debarred, ineligible, or suspended contractors or sub-recipients  Uniform Administrative Requirements and Cost Principles  Conflict of interest prohibitions
 Compliance with the Architectural Barriers Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act
 Compliance with Eligibility Restrictions for certain resident aliens  Federal reporting requirements
 Grant and subrecipient monitoring requirements
 Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) requirements
C.B. Build America, Buy America Act (BABA)
On November 15, 2021, the Build America, Buy America Act (the Act) was enacted as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Pub. L. 117-58. The Act establishes a domestic content procurement preference, the BAP, for federal programs that permit federal financial assistance to be used for infrastructure projects. In Section 70912, the Act further defines a project to include “the construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of infrastructure in the United States” and includes within the definition of infrastructure those items traditionally included along with buildings and real property. Starting May 14, 2022, new awards of Federal financial assistance from a program for infrastructure, and any of those funds obligated by the grantee, are covered under the Build America, Buy California Department of Housing and Community Development 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA –
Amendment #1
30

Page 218 of 277 ends

America (BABA) provisions of the Act, 41 U.S.C. 8301. Note, while HUD has issued a waiver of the application of the BAP through HUD’s Notice, “General Applicability Waiver of Build America, Buy America Provisions as Applied to Recipients of HUD Federal Financial Assistance” (87 FR 26219), HUD will begin requiring compliance with BAP for all new funds obligated on or after November 14, 2022, unless covered by a subsequent waiver. Additional details on fulfilling the BABA requirements can be found aton HUD’s website Build America, Buy America (BABA).] and will be provided by HUD prior to the expiration of the waiver and full implementation of BABA.

Additional direction will be provided when the same is made available by HUD.

D.C. Relocation Plan Requirements
Applicants engaging in project-specific activities that may or will cause the temporary or permanent relocation and displacement of persons, property, or businesses must provide a project-specific relocation plan as part of the application. The plan must meet the standards established in the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA). Applicants must successfully demonstrate that they have met URA requirements prior to the start of the project or displacement Activity. Applicants must include relocation costs in project budgets.

Applicants must provide relocation assistance to persons who may be displaced if the Activity in the grant application is funded. This plan must outline how the Grantee will enforce and manage the project’s relocation and displacement activities and estimate what relocation benefits will be required so those costs can be included in the project’s development budget.

E.D. Procurement
Pursuant to 24 CFR §570.489(g), all Grantees must comply with federal procurement requirements. The Department will review the Grantee’s procurement documents for services (i.e., administrative sub-contractor, Davis- Bacon consultant, etc.) at time of monitoring or upon the Grantee’s request.

Requirements for federal procurement can be found at 2 CFR §200.317-327.

Applicants are responsible for meeting all federal procurement standards for goods and services funded through federal programs. Failure to meet procurement requirements may result in disqualification, recapture of federal funds, and debarment.

F.E. False, Fictitious or Fraudulent Claims
California Department of Housing and Community Development 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA –
Amendment #1
31

Page 219 of 277 ends

Warning: Any person who knowingly makes a false claim or statement to HUD or the Department may be subject to civil or criminal penalties under 18 U.S.C. §287, 1001 and 31 U.S.C. §3729.

G.F. Detecting, Preventing, and Reporting Fraud
Fraud is a white-collar crime that has a devastating effect on the CDBG program because the CDBG program beneficiaries are victims of this crime when the CDBG program is abused. The Department wants to stop any criminal assault on the CDBG program it administers, and in doing so all CDBG funds go to people it was designed to help and improve their living conditions.

H.G.Combatting Fraud
The HUD Office of Inspector General (OIG) is committed to protecting HUD’s programs, operations, and beneficiaries from dishonest individuals and organizations.

HUD cannot combat fraud alone; they rely on Department and CDBG NOFA Applicants to combat CDBG program fraud.

HUD also relies on Applicants for, and people receiving, HUD benefits, such as:
tenants receiving rental assistance, borrowers with HUD insured loans, or citizens having their communities restored using HUD grants.

The HUD OIG Hotline number is 1-800-347-3735. This is the primary means to submit allegations of fraud, waste, abuse, mismanagement, or Whistleblower related matters for the CDBG program to the OIG.

HUD OIG accepts reports of fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement in the CDBG program from HUD employees, anyone administering the CDGB program, anyone working in the CDBG program, contractors, and the public.

You can report mismanagement or violations of law, rules, or regulations by HUD employees or program participants.

Fraud, Waste and Abuse in the CDBG program and its operation may be reported in one of the following four (4) ways:

Amendment #1

Page 221 of 277 ends

The California Whistleblower Protection Act authorizes the California State Auditor to receive complaints from state employees and members of the public who wish to report an improper governmental activity. An "improper governmental activity" is any action by a state agency or any action by a state employee directly related to state government that:
(1) Violates any state or federal law or regulation,
(2) Violates an Executive Order of the Governor, a California Rule of Court, or any policy or procedure required by the State Administrative Manual or State Contracting Manual, or
(3) Is economically wasteful or involves gross misconduct, incompetency, or inefficiency. Complaints received by the State Auditor are confidential, and the identity of the complainant may not be revealed without the complainant's permission, aside from to an appropriate law enforcement agency conducting a criminal investigation.

There are many ways to file a complaint:

1. By Telephone:

You may call the Whistleblower Hotline at (800) 952-5665 to file a complaint by talking to one of the State Auditor's employees. The hotline generally is staffed Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If you call when the hotline is not being staffed, or staff is occupied with other calls, you may leave a voicemail message requesting a return call.

2. By Mail or Facsimile:

You may file a complaint in the form of a letter to the State Auditor addressed as follows:

Investigations
California State Auditor
P.O. Box 1019
Sacramento, CA 95812
Or you may fax the letter to the State Auditor at (916) 322-2603.

As an alternative, you may complete the electronic version of the complaint form (which is available on the State Auditor website at auditor.ca.gov), print it out, and return it by mail or facsimile as stated above.

3. Online:

Although the State Auditor does not accept complaints by e-mail, you may file a complaint online at https://www.auditor.ca.gov/contactus/complaint California Department of Housing and Community Development 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA –
Amendment #1
34

Page 222 of 277 ends

The State Auditor will not undertake an investigation unless there is a basis for believing that your complaint has sufficient merit to warrant spending resources on an investigation. Your complaint should therefore include:

1. A clear and concise statement of what you are alleging to be improper activity and why you believe it is improper.

2. The name or other information that clearly identifies the person you are alleging has acted improperly and the department where that person works.

3. The names and contact information for any witnesses who can confirm the truth of what you are saying.

4. Copies of any documents that will support what you are saying. (You should not submit original documents, as they cannot be returned.) California Department of Housing and Community Development 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program NOFA –

ITEM NO: 2024-481

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Conduct a Public Hearing to Solicit Public Comment Regarding the Intent to Apply for a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development Grant for a New Caterpillar Model 120 Motor Grader and Authorize Staff to Proceed with the Submittal of the Grant Application.

DEPARTMENT: Public Works PREPARED BY: Andrea Trincado, Grants Manager PRESENTER: Andrea Trincado
ATTACHMENTS:

1. USDA-RD-FS-CY2022DisasterWaterGrants

2. Petersen Brochure_120 Motor Grader
Summary: Grants Division Staff is prepared to submit a grant application to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development for a new Caterpillar Model 120 Motor Grader for the Public Works Department. The application requires the City to conduct a public hearing to give community members an opportunity to comment on the intent to apply for funding.

Council is requested to conduct a public hearing to receive a report from staff regarding a grant application to USDA for funding for the new grader, receive public comment related to the intent to apply, and authorize staff to proceed with submittal of said application.

Background: The USDA Community Facilities Water Disaster Repair Program (Attachment 1) provides funding to rural communities with facilities that were impacted by Federally Declared Disasters. The program is currently open for applications for Calendar Year 2022 Disasters. This program is available to assist rural communities with less than 20,000 residents. The City qualifies for this grant due to impacts from the storm events that occurred in December 2022 and January 2023. These storms caused localized flooding and damage to roads and levies at several city facilities, including the Water and Wastewater Plants. The purchase of a new grader will aid the City with any remaining or future clean-up and mitigation efforts for disaster relief.

Discussion: The Public Works Department has identified the need for a new grader to assist with repair of dirt roads and levies at the Wastewater and Water Treatment Plant. The new grader will replace the City’s existing 1973 John Deere 570A grader with a new Caterpillar Model 120 Motor Grader.

The estimated cost of the specified new Caterpillar Model 120 Motor Grader is $430,000. If awarded, the USDA Community Facilities Calendar Year 2022 Disaster Repair Grant would provide 75% (approximately $322,500) of the purchase price and the City would be responsible for the remaining 25% (estimated at $107,500).

A brochure of the Caterpillar Model 120 Motor Grader is attached for reference (Attachment 2).

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Discussion with Possible Direction to Staff Regarding a Proposed Approach for Completing an Updated Historic Resources Survey and Developing a City of Ukiah Historic Preservation Code.

DEPARTMENT: Community
Development PREPARED BY: Craig Schlatter, Community Development Director PRESENTER: Craig Schlatter, Community Development

ATTACHMENTS:

1. Historic Survey History Notes- Historical Society

2. Ukiah General Plan- Environment and Sustainability Element Summary: Council will discuss and possibly provide direction to Staff regarding a proposed approach for completing an update to the Historic Resources Survey and developing a historic preservation code.

Background: On May 20, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-25 authorizing submittal of an application for, and receipt of, $65,000 in Local Government Planning Support Program (also referred to as the Local Early Action Planning Program, or LEAP) funds. On November 3, 2020, the City received notification from the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) that the application had been awarded, and on March 22, 2021, the standard agreement, 20-LEAP-15456, was executed.

Of the four awarded activities, Task (T)1 was for an "Update to the Historic Structure Development Policy." This update was expected to include an updated demolition permit review process that both streamlined demolition of non-historic structures and ensured a greater level of protection for existing historical structures.

Most of the $19,900 awarded for T1 was planned to be spent on a historical preservation consultant for the drafting of this new procedure and possible updating of the existing demolition ordinance, prescribed within Ukiah City Code Section 3016. On December 21, 2022, Council authorized the execution of Amendment No. 4 to contract No. 1819190 with the City's advanced planning consultant, Mintier-Harnish, for this work to be undertaken.

An initial draft of the demolition ordinance was completed by the consultant in September 2023. In reviewing this draft, Staff also sought input from the Historical Society of Mendocino County (Historical Society). Ensuing discussions with Alyssa Ballard, archivist of the Historical Society, revealed that a holistic solution may be more suitable for ensuring both a streamlined review of non-historic structures and enhanced protection for existing historic structures.

Discussion: The solution proposed in place of only completing an update to UCC 3016, the demolition permit ordinance, is below.

Proposed Approach

1. Staff to issue an RFQ (Request for Qualifications) for an historic resources survey consultant to complete an update to the City's 1999 Historic Resources Survey in accordance with criteria and guidelines published by the State Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) and other relevant state and/or federal preservation agencies.

Page 253 of 277 ends

Page 2 of 3 ends

Completion of this step will establish a baseline of all existing resources. It is not yet known what the cost of this survey will be, but research compiled by the Historical Society (Attachment 1) notes the original (1984-85) survey was completed for a cost of $42,000.

2. Staff to pursue grant funding to offset a portion and/or all of the cost of the historic resources survey update.

In discussing with staff of the Historical Society, Staff is hopeful that development of a holistic approach to historic preservation may be more attractive to potential funding sources, including possibly through the OHP Certified Local Government Grant Program.

3. Concurrent to the survey being performed by the consultant, Staff to work closely with Historical Society staff to develop the City's first historic preservation ordinance and code. This historic preservation code would also address and improve procedures within UCC 3016.

Staff proposes development of this ordinance and code "in-house," utilizing technical assistance and guidelines from OHP. The Historical Society has also generously offered to volunteer time towards this effort.

In Staff's opinion, co-developing this code with the Historical Society and completing the work internally is important for ensuring adequate protection of appropriate existing historic resources.

Implementing the Vision of the General Plan
In addition to developing a holistic solution to preserving Ukiah's historic resources, completion of the recommended approach would accomplish three General Plan Implementation Programs, one due to be completed by December 2025 and two to be completed by December 2030. 2025
Environment and Sustainability Element, Implementation Program 6.7H - Historic and Cultural Registry: The City shall update the list of cultural and historic resources worthy of nomination to state or national preservation lists.
2030
Environment and Sustainability Element, Implementation Program 6.7G - Historic Structure Preservation Policy and Architectural Inventory: The City shall update the Historic Structure Preservation policy and architectural resource inventory in collaboration with the Mendocino County Historical Society to focus on preservation of identified historic and architectural resources, while also streamlining development/demolition of older, non-resource structures.

Environment and Sustainability Element, Implementation Program 6.7I - Historic Preservation Ordinance: The City shall adopt a Historic Archaeological Preservation Ordinance to review permanent changes to the exterior or setting of designated historic or impacts to Archaeological resources. Among other topics, the Ordinance should address the following: archaeological resource impact avoidance, new development in historically sensitive neighborhoods, compatibility of energy conservation retrofitting, design review standards for new structures replacing demolished historic structures, and requirements for preservation of records and artifacts from demolished historic structures.

Completion of the above actions is expected to also achieve goals and policies within the Environment and Sustainability Element, including the following:

Goal ENV-3: To preserve and protect historic and archaeological resources in Ukiah.

Policy ENV-3.1 Historic Designations: The City shall support the listing of eligible properties, sites, and structures as potential historic designations and their inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources and National Register of Historic Places.

Policy ENV-3.5 Educational Outreach: The City shall coordinate with the museum to provide education to the public on how to protect sites and structures.

Page 254 of 277 ends

Page 3 of 3 ends

Policy ENV-3.6 City-owned Historic Sites and Structures: The City shall maintain, preserve, and improve Cityowned historic structures and sites in an architecturally and environmentally sensitive manner.

Policy ENV-3.7 Adaptive Reuse: The City shall encourage appropriate adaptive reuse of historic resources.

Detail related to the General Plan Implementation Programs, Goal, and Policies is contained within the Environment and Sustainability Element within Attachment 2.

Staff recommends Council discuss and provide direction to Staff regarding the proposed approach.

Historical Society of Mendocino County
Notes on Historic Survey History
Compiled by Alyssa Ballard, Archivist
1984‐85 Survey (Copied from published survey)
The primary use of the survey will be a data base for restoration, presentation, conservation, and rehabilitation programs. Without such a resource, development of policies, objectives, and implementation methods for a City program would not be valid.

In 1977 and 1978, City staff and the City Planning Commission considered design themes for use in the downtown area for new construction or rehabilitation. Initial discussion was had on emphasizing the "brick" look. Though preservation potential of structures was discussed, no theme or conservation program was adopted as enough specific details were not known.

In 1983, citizen concerns regarding possible destruction or major alteration of historically or architecturally significant structures was raised before the City Council. Though there was no imminent danger that these resources would be eliminated,some assurancesthat buildings would be reviewed prior to non‐reversible action was requested. In direct response to this concern the Council adopted Ordinance 821 on September 5, 1983. This ordinance requires City Council approval prior to the issuance of a permit to demolish any structure first constructed more than 50 years ago.

Use of available tax laws for rehabilitation and restoration was a related issue brought to the Council's attention with respect to historical/architectural presentation. The necessity of a comprehensive program was becoming apparent. Preliminary discussion was had on what a program would entail, what type of regulations or restrictions would be imposed and how flexible could the laws be. Program considerations ranged from strict prohibition of any alterations or demolition to implementation of tax incentives with no guidelines or compliance requirements.

Further deliberations were stalled because the type and number of the buildings which would be affected were unknown. Without that knowledge, the implications and end results of any program could not be anticipated, let alone be determined. The first step then was to conduct a survey of existing community resources.

The Federal/State survey grant program specifically fit this need. It provided the financial assistance necessary to secure the expertise in resource evaluation and survey procedures. Though the City is fortunate to have a few committed individual volunteers for historic research and write‐ups, required technical and professional historic and architectural expertise was not locally available.

The survey was to address all pre‐1941 structures within the corporate City limits. This met the requirements of the Federal and State guidelines and local concerns. Though City wide in scope the inventory results are notably concentrated in the old western center of the City, the original "built up" portion of town.

Methodology
Volunteer hours spent on the project through August 1985 totaled 306 7 hours. Committee members expended approximately 400 more hours in the final preparation of the document. Staff spent more than 500 hours on the project. The Consultant spent 1604 hours on the project. The actual cost of the project exceeded $42,000.
1998/1999 Demolition Ordinance (Copied from newspapers) Interim demolition permit review ordinance approved. It amended current (at the time) regulations regarding demolition permit requests for historically significant buildings. The council ordered the ordinance to be drawn up following the emotional debates over the proposed demolition of the St.

Mary of Angels Catholic Church.
“The ordinance will be replaced by a comprehensive historical preservation ordinance after an inventory of the city’s historical buildings has been completed and accepted by the council. That could take several years, however.” (Ukiah Daily Journal, 12/4/1998)
The ordinance was drawn up to be broad because it was meant to act as a “catch‐all”, giving the opportunity to research and investigate historic significance on a case‐by‐case basis, until the historic preservation code could be put into place.
1999 Survey Update (Copied from published survey)
The City of Ukiah prepared a General Plan (December 1995) giving high priority to the preparation of an Historical Preservation Ordinance to protect and enhance the historic resources within the City. A key component of this project is a re‐survey of these resources. A previous document entitled, "Architectural and Historical Resources Inventory Report" was prepared in 1984‐1985. While not officially adopted by the city, it has been used as an important resource document. This document updates that survey.

This survey update was conducted in consultation with the State Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), and in accordance with their standards, in order that the findings of the survey would meet OHP criteria for review and acceptance. OHP acceptance of the findings of the survey update will allow the City ready conformance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as regards its discretionary decisions as they relate to cultural resources. OHP acceptance and certification will also benefit owners of buildings identified as historically significant by qualifying those buildings for use of the State Historical Building Code, for the tax incentives provided by the Mills Act, for federal investment tax credit incentives for commercial properties, for historic preservation grants‐in‐aid, and for the tax credits provided for in the Historic Homeowners' Assistance Act currently under consideration by the U.S.

Congress.

Methodology
This document updates a survey conducted in 1984‐85. The survey was updated in consultation with the State Office of Historic Preservation (OHP). The consultants viewed and re‐photographed each property in the originalsurvey. Each property wasre‐evaluated using the criteria of the National Register of Historic Places. The consultants prepared a continuation sheet for each property updating the original information where needed and writing a new significance statement for each. The significance statement included the new conclusions and the reasonsforthe conclusions, but did notreiterate any background or justifications that were already given in the original.

The city of Ukiah has generally good air quality when compared with the rest of the state. Air quality monitoring of ozone and particulate matter from 2015 and 2017 reports indicated that Ukiah did not exceed California air quality standards for more than eight days in a year. The only major source of air pollution is from transportation emissions, most notably from diesel particulate matter, with Highway 101 as the primary source. Air pollution from wildfires has also grown in intensity and frequency across the State over the last decade. Such impacts from the wildfires smoke continue to impact and threaten our vulnerable populations resulting in school closings and business shutdowns. It is expected that Ukiah as well as other vulnerable communities to wildfires will experience these worsening events for the foreseeable future.

Goals and Policies
To improve air quality to the benefit of public health, welfare, and reduce air quality impacts with adverse effects on residents’ health and wellbeing.

Transit Oriented Development
The City shall encourage concentration of new development near areas served by transit access and reduce single-occupancy vehicle dependency.

The City shall prioritize pedestrian and bicycle access, infrastructure, and education to encourage increased use of alternative modes of transportation as a means to reduce direct and indirect air contaminant emissions.

Implement Clean Air Plan
The City shall cooperate with Mendocino County Air Quality Management District (MCAQMD) to implement the Clean Air Plan required by the Clean Air Act, reduce non-attainment pollutants, including PM10, PM2.5, and ozone, and enforce air quality standards as required by State and Federal statutes.

Public Outreach
The City shall cooperate with the MCAQMD and Mendocino County Public Health to create public awareness and education programs about air quality issues and safety measures during hazardous air events.

Construction and Operations
The City shall require that development projects incorporate feasible measures that reduce construction and operational emissions for reactive organic gases, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5).

Wood Burning Fireplace Replacement
The City shall promote the replacement of non-EPA certified fireplaces and woodstoves and encourage city residents to participate in MCAQMD and NSCAPCD programs, such as the Wood Stove Rebate Program.

City Vehicle and Equipment Fleet
The City shall continue to purchase low-emission vehicles and use clean alternative fuels as part of their fleet. When possible, the City will replace gas and hybrid vehicles with electric vehicles.

Residential EV Charging Stations
The City shall encourage new development to install EV charging stations in homes to increase the potential for the public to use zero-emission vehicles, lessening the impacts to air quality through pollution.

Public EV Charging Stations
The City shall install public charging stations in its commercial areas to provide additional charging options for city visitors.

There are several State laws that work to address the climate crisis in California. In 2016, the State achieved its goal from the target set under Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32), which required California to reduce emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Senate Bill 32 (SB 32) is the next legislative milestone, requiring a reduction in emissions of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. Through Senate Bill 100 (SB 100) the State has also set an ambitious target of eliminating 100 percent of emissions from energy production by 2045. Lastly, Executive Order B-55-18 aims to reduce the entire state’s emissions to net zero by 2045.

To work toward achieving these goals, the City of Ukiah prepared a Draft Climate Action Plan in 2014 which was not formally adopted. The Draft Climate Action Plan outlines the pathway to reducing emissions and meeting the targets

Page 267 of 277 ends

6. Environment and Sustainability Element
Policy Document | December 2022 Page 6-11
set by the State and City. Ukiah aims to build on this strategy to significantly reduce emissions in compliance with state standards and develop ambitious strategies to achieving carbon neutrality. It is important to note that the City’s Electric Utility Department has its own goals for carbon reduction, based on State’s requirements, specifically tied to city-owned/operated facilities and the city fleet.

Goals and Policies
To achieve carbon neutrality by or before the year 2045.

Carbon Neutrality Resolution
The City shall adopt a Carbon Neutrality Resolution that provides a foundation for all subsequent climate actions.

Micro-grid and Small Battery Storage
The City shall encourage the development of small-scale battery storage and micro grid capacity for storing renewable power for nighttime energy use.

Municipal Building Electrification Plan
The City shall adopt an electrification plan for all municipal buildings to convert them to all electric using energy from carbon-free and renewable sources by 2035.
