2. Draft Resolution
Summary: Council will consider re-adoption of a resolution approving a Zero Tax Sharing Agreement between the City of Ukiah and the County of Mendocino for the Ukiah Corporation Yard Annexation (1 Carousel Lane), Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) File No. A-2025-06.

Background: On June 30, 2025, the City of Ukiah acquired the property located at 1 Carousel Lane to serve as the City’s new Municipal Corporation Yard. The acquisition supports the City’s long-term objective to modernize municipal infrastructure and improve service delivery across a regional service area.

The City’s existing corporation yard, located east of the Ukiah Municipal Airport, no longer meets operational needs. The facilities are undersized and functionally constrained for Fleet and Plant Maintenance, Street Maintenance, and Water and Wastewater Maintenance activities. As the City and surrounding region have grown, the limitations of the current site have increasingly affected operational efficiency and service capacity.

In addition, the corporation yard relocation will free up needed space at the Ukiah Airport to support critical aviation business and emergency operations at the facility.

Although the 1 Carousel Lane property is currently located outside the City’s incorporated boundaries, it is centrally located within the service area of the Ukiah Valley Water Authority (UVWA). UVWA is a joint powers authority formed to coordinate regional water system planning, infrastructure modernization, and long-term water supply reliability among its member agencies.

On September 19, 2025, Staff submitted an application to the Mendocino County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) for the City of Ukiah’s annexation of approximately 7.87 acres of City-owned property located at 1 Carousel Lane, Ukiah, California (Assessor’s Parcel Number 167-280-15), commonly referred to as the Ukiah Corporation Yard. The annexation has been assigned LAFCo File No. A-2025-06.

The property is improved with an approximately 98,000-square-foot industrial/commercial building and is used primarily for public facilities and municipal operations. Prior to submittal of the annexation application, the site was prezoned by the City as Public Facilities (PF).

Because the property is currently located outside the City’s incorporated limits, it remains subject to property

taxation. Upon annexation, City-owned property used exclusively for public and municipal purposes will fall within the City’s jurisdiction and will not generate ad valorem property tax revenue, except to the extent that any taxable private possessory interests may exist and continue to lease a portion of the subject property.

As a point of reference, counties and cities in California are generally exempt from paying property taxes on land they own, lease, and use for public purposes. In most cases, California’s property tax system is intended to tax private wealth tied to land ownership, not public assets held or used for the benefit of the general public.

This framework recognizes that many public facilities must be located remotely or outside incorporated areas to function effectively. Facilities such as water storage, landfills, wastewater treatment plants, power generation equipment, and similar infrastructure may reasonably be owned and operated by a municipality beyond its city limits.

Conversely, counties often provide social services and other governmental functions within incorporated cities.

In those cases, counties typically benefit from streamlined permit review and land use authority within city boundaries. Counties do not pay property taxes on incorporated lands used for public purposes, which can be detrimental to cities by limiting their share of allocated property tax revenue on key parcels, especially in downtown areas.

On February 4, 2026, the City Council reviewed and voted to approve the included resolution. On February 5, 2026, following the meeting, a question was raised regarding whether there was a potential conflict of interest requiring disclosure prior to the vote. In response, Community Development staff, in consultation with the City Manager's Office and the City Attorney, determined that the resolution should be brought back for re-adoption, with any required disclosures of economic interest made on the record before the vote, as will be discussed below under the heading "Government Code § 1099 Conflicts of Interest".

On February 26, City and County staff met in-person to review the Agreement and discuss the property's unique jurisdictional status, public use, possessory interests, and its detached location in the Designated Area.

Following that meeting and further consultation with County staff, City staff determined that the City should proceed with re-adoption of the Resolution, which will also allow the County of Mendocino to review and consider the Agreement at a future Board of Supervisors meeting.

Upon approval by both the County of Mendocino, and the City of Ukiah, the adopted resolutions will be forwarded to Mendocino LAFCo for review as part of LAFCo File No. A-2025-06.

Discussion: Government Code § 1099 Conflicts of Interest For the reasons set forth in the paragraphs below, no Councilmember has a conflict of interest under Government Code § 1090 that would prevent the Council from adopting the Resolution authorizing the Tax Sharing Agreement.

Because the County is a party to the proposed Tax Sharing Agreement, and Councilmember Criss is employed by the County, the Council must consider the application of Government Code § 1090. Section 1090 generally prohibits public officers acting in their official capacities from making contracts in which they are financially interested. Furthermore, when an officer with a disallowed financial interest is a member of a legislative body, the Section 1090 prohibition on contracting also extends to the entire body even if the member recuses themselves from a decision regarding the contract.

There is an exception to Section 1090 in which a public official has a “noninterest” in a contract if her financial interest in that contract is that of a person receiving salary, per diem, or reimbursement for expenses from a government entity, unless the contract directly involves the department of the government entity that employs the officer or employee, provided that the interest is disclosed to the body or board at the time of consideration of the contract and noted in its official record. (Govt. Code § 1091.5(a)(9).) The California Supreme Court determined that this exception applies when “the contract involves no direct financial gain, does not directly affect the official’s employing department, and is only with the general government entity for which the official works.” (Lexin v. Superior Court (2010) 47 Cal.4th 1050, 1081.)

Councilmember Criss has a noninterest under Section 1091.5(a)(9), because the Tax Sharing Agreement involves no direct financial gain to her and does not directly affect her department at the County (the Department of Social Services) as the Agreement is with the County generally. Therefore, Section 1090 would not prohibit Councilmember Criss from participating in making, or the City Council from entering into, the Tax Sharing Agreement because the noninterest exception in Section 1091.5(a)(9) applies, so long as Councilmember Criss discloses her interest in the County to the City Council at the time the Agreement is considered at this Meeting, and her interest is noted in the City Council's official record, i.e. the adopted meeting minutes.

Proposed Tax Sharing Agreement
Under Revenue and Taxation Code § 99, the City and the County are required to enter into a property tax revenue exchange agreement as a component of the annexation application process, even if the associated land is understood to be exempt. The Revenue and Taxation Code further requires that the agreement be approved by the legislative bodies of both agencies and submitted to the Mendocino County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) prior to commission consideration of the annexation.

Although the City and the County are parties to a previously adopted Mendocino County Master Tax Sharing Agreement, the City has determined that this annexation is more appropriately addressed through a separate, annexation-specific tax sharing agreement. The Ukiah Corporation Yard annexation involves unique characteristics, including City ownership, exclusive public use, and the absence of revenue-generating private development, which make application of the Master Tax Sharing Agreement unnecessary and administratively impractical in this instance.

The proposed Tax Sharing Agreement (Attachment 1) is limited in scope and applies only to the Annexation Area associated with LAFCo File No. A-2025-06. The agreement expressly acknowledges the continued validity of the Mendocino County Master Tax Sharing Agreement and does not amend, supersede, or otherwise affect that agreement or its application to any other annexation or change of organization.

Key provisions of the proposed Agreement include:
• A zero (0) exchange of ad valorem property tax revenue between the City and the County. • No change to existing tax rate area allocations or base year property tax shares. • Confirmation that the agreement does not affect the allocation of property tax revenues for any other taxing agency.
• Acknowledgment that any taxable possessory interests within the Annexation Area remain subject to assessment, levy, and distribution in accordance with existing law. • Consideration of next steps if the public use ceases, consistent with California Government Code requirements.

Because the property is City-owned and used exclusively for municipal purposes, it does not generate Bradley-Burns local sales tax revenue under its current use. Accordingly, no sales tax exchange is required or created by the proposed agreement.

For municipalities across Mendocino County, completing the annexation of key municipal infrastructure sites is essential to reducing the cost of providing public services. This is especially true for facilities that support regional water delivery, such as water storage sites in Fort Bragg or the City of Ukiah’s municipal corporation yard serving the districts of the Ukiah Valley Water Authority. Equally important is streamlining the process for adopting individual tax-share resolutions outside the previously approved master agreement. The longstanding principle that publicly operated facilities are not subject to property taxes should be recognized promptly by the County to avoid unnecessary administrative delays and minimize costs applied to ratepayers.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 2) approving the Zero Tax Sharing

Agreement between the City of Ukiah and the County of Mendocino for LAFCo File No. A-2025-06. Staff further recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor and the City Manager to execute the Agreement on behalf of the City, and authorize Staff to transmit the Resolution(s) and the executed Agreement to Mendocino LAFCo upon approval by both the County of Mendocino and the City of Ukiah.

Recommended Action: Re-Adopt a resolution approving a Zero Tax Sharing Agreement between the City of Ukiah and the County of Mendocino for the Ukiah Corporation Yard Annexation (1 Carousel Lane), LAFCo File No. A-2025-06.

6.3 No Amendment Needed for Routine Changes. The expansion, reduction, assignment, or termination of private occupancy shall adjust assessments and revenues pursuant to law and does not, by itself, require amendment of this Agreement.

7. Contingency; Change in Use

4.1 Zero Exchange. Effective as of the Annexation Effective Date, the Parties agree that the exchange of ad valorem Property Tax Revenue between the City and the County pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code § 99 for the Annexation Area shall be zero (0).

4.2 No Change to Existing Allocation Shares. The Parties intend that this Agreement does not change the City’s or County’s existing shares of Property Tax Revenue within the Annexation Area as determined under applicable law and the applicable tax rate area(s).

4.3 Implementation Direction. The Parties will implement this Agreement by ensuring that no additional or adjusted apportionment factors are applied between the County and the City for the Annexation Area solely as a result of LAFCo File No. A-2025-06.

7.2 Change in Use Trigger. If the City ceases to use the Annexation Area primarily for public facilities/municipal purposes, the Parties will meet and confer in good faith to determine whether a new agreement under Revenue and Taxation Code § 99 is required for any subsequent change of organization or continued City jurisdiction involving revenue-generating private use.

8. Implementation; Transmittals

COU. No.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Adoption of Updates to General Plan Land Use, Zoning, and Downtown Zoning Code Maps Consistent with Goals and Policies of the 2040 General Plan.

Development PREPARED BY: Jesse Davis, Chief Planning Manager PRESENTER: Jesse Davis, AICP/Chief Planning Manager;

1. City of Ukiah Existing Maps (Zoning, General Plan, DZC)

2. 2016 - 2025 Approved Land Use Modifications

3. City of Ukiah Proposed Maps (Zoning, General Plan, DZC)

4. Presentation Given
Summary: The City Council will consider adopting the proposed changes to update the City of Ukiah’s General Plan Land Use, Zoning, and Downtown Zoning Code maps. The updates would reflect previously approved annexations, rezones, and General Plan amendments, standardize a shared visual format for clarity and consistency, and implement 2040 General Plan goals and policies.

Background: As required by Implementation Program E of the City of Ukiah’s 2040 General Plan, Staff has completed a comprehensive, citywide update of the City’s official land use maps to ensure consistency among the Zoning Map, the General Plan Land Use Map, and the Downtown Zoning Code Map. The update applies a standardized style and incorporates previously approved annexations, rezones, General Plan amendments, and other legislative actions that are not consistently reflected across all three maps. Attachment 1 includes the existing versions of each map.

This effort advances implementation of the Land Use Element of the 2040 General Plan, particularly Goal LU16, which directs the City to maintain an effective and accurate Land Use Map, and Implementation Program E, which directs the City to ensure consistency between zoning districts and the 2040 General Plan Land Use Diagram. The update is also consistent with the following related policies:
• Policy LU-16.1 (Land Use Map): The City shall maintain and implement a Land Use Map that identifies allowed land uses by location and the corresponding density or intensity of development. • Policy LU-16.2 (Land Use Designations): The City shall apply land use designations to specific parcels as shown on the General Plan Land Use Map, regardless of whether parcels meet other General Plan criteria.
• Policy LU-16.3 (Zoning Designations): The City shall ensure zoning designations are consistent with and implement the General Plan Land Use Map.

As an initial step, Staff identified three key maps for coordinated review (Attachment 1):
• Official Zoning Map, last comprehensively updated in 2017 • General Plan Land Use Map, adopted by City Council in 2022 (Resolution No. 2022-79)

• Downtown Zoning Code Map, adopted in 2012 (Ordinance No. 1139) Each map was adopted at a different time and reflects varying boundaries, visual standards, levels of detail, and spatial scales. While the City’s parcel framework has remained generally consistent, localized changes have occurred over time due to lot line adjustments, subdivisions, annexations, and legislative actions. These changes have not been uniformly reflected across all three maps, resulting in visual inconsistencies and discrepancies between adopted policy and mapped conditions.

Since adoption of these maps, numerous General Plan amendments, rezones, annexations, and subdivisions have been approved but not consistently incorporated into the City’s official mapping. These previously approved actions, identified in Attachment 2, affect land use designations and zoning allowances and are now being formally reflected across all three maps.

During the review process, Staff identified one additional parcel (184-100-04) subject to an Agricultural Consistency Overlay. It was inadvertently identified as only Public Facilities (PF) as part of the Planning Commission hearing and review. This parcel has been updated in Attachments 2 and 3 to reflect the correct overlay designation, and demonstrate that it is aligned with previous and adjacent agricultural land uses. The overlay was previously approved as part of the Prezoning of City-owned properties located north of the wastewater treatment plant. The parcel was acquired by the City as part of a land-banking effort intended to protect and buffer critical City infrastructure from incompatible or conflicting development.

Discussion: Attachment 2 compiles a comprehensive record of annexations, subdivisions, rezones, and General Plan amendments approved between 2016 and the present that are now being formally reflected on the City’s official Zoning Map and General Plan Land Use Map. All actions listed in Attachment 2 were previously approved and officially finalized. Attachment 2 does not include lot line adjustments, certificates of compliance, or parcel mergers processed since 2016 by the City Engineer, nor does it include parcel recognitions completed by the Mendocino County Assessor. With the exception of remaining parcel alignment within the Western Hills annexation area needed to implement the approved Development Agreement, the proposed maps rely on the current parcel boundaries maintained by the Assessor.

Updating the City’s official maps at this time provides an opportunity to correct discrepancies, improve legibility, standardize mapping standards, and ensure that the zoning, General Plan, and downtown maps function together as a coordinated and reliable land use reference set. The update supports accurate depiction of regulatory overlays and constraints, including Airport Compatibility Zones for the Ukiah Municipal Airport (UKI). In addition, as the City prepares for the 7th Housing Element cycle, maintaining current and consistent land use maps is essential for accurately evaluating residential land inventory and meeting review requirements of the California Department of Housing and Community Development.

As shown in Attachment 3, the proposed maps incorporate and visually align all applicable parcel adjustments, subdivisions, rezones, General Plan amendments, regulatory updates, and annexations approved from 2016 to the present. Collectively, these updates ensure consistency between adopted land use decisions and the City’s official mapping. The maps establish a standardized cartographic format, including consistent layout, scale, symbology, color palette, and use of the Community Development Department logo. Attachment 3 is intended to serve as the standard template for future map updates. To further improve clarity and accuracy, Staff revised map layers associated with the Homeless Shelter Overlay, floodplains, and Airport Compatibility Zones. Generalized symbols were also added to identify major public and civic uses, such as the airport, schools, and parks, improving overall legibility for both Staff and the public.

Attachment 3 also includes an updated visualization of the Downtown Zoning Code (DZC). While broader policy updates to the DZC will be considered through a separate process, these revisions correct and clarify how the DZC overlay is applied and displayed. As previously discussed with the Planning Commission, certain parcels are excluded from the DZC due to documented mapping errors or ownership constraints, including 415 S. State Street and the former North Coast Rail Authority right-of-way (APN 002-193-44). These corrections are reflected in the updated map.

In addition, Staff transitioned the City’s land use mapping to the standardized Land-Based Classification Standards (LBCS) framework. This update applies consistent, standardized color coding for top-level land use categories across all maps and GIS layers. Each category is assigned a single color, improving readability and consistency across City documents. For example, residential land uses are now uniformly represented in yellow, consistent with common municipal mapping conventions.

Staff also removed the identifiers previously assigned to residential Planned Developments from the Zoning Map, along with the associated reference table. Individual Planned Development records will remain available for reference and include direct links to their establishing ordinances. Nearly all residential Planned Developments are built out and have historically generated limited permit activity beyond routine repair and rehabilitation.

In contrast, for the Airport Industrial Park Planned Development, Staff retained and refined the associated zoning distinctions to provide a clearer reference to land use activities and regulatory standards. Unlike residential Planned Developments, the Airport Industrial Park includes several undeveloped manufacturing parcels, and Staff regularly receives inquiries regarding development opportunities, including allowed uses and applicable development standards.

The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed map updates at its regular meeting on January 28, 2026, and recommended that the City Council adopt the updated Zoning Map, General Plan Land Use Map, and Downtown Zoning Code Map as the City’s official maps. The recommendation was approved by a roll call vote of 4-0-0, with one Commissioner absent by prior arrangement.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the updated Zoning Map, General Plan Land Use Map, and Downtown Zoning Code Map. Adoption will ensure consistency with previously approved actions and provide a clear, standardized land use reference to support future planning, development review, and Housing Element implementation.

Recommended Action: Adopt updates to the City of Ukiah’s official Zoning Map, General Plan Land Use Map, and Downtown Zoning Code Map to reflect previously approved annexations, rezones, and General Plan amendments, to standardize a shared visual format for clarity and consistency, and to implement policies and goals of the 2040 General Plan.

ITEM NO: 2026-416

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Introduction of an Ordinance by Title Only Amending Section 1166 of the Ukiah City Code Pertaining to the Design Review Board Regular Meetings.

DEPARTMENT: City Clerk PREPARED BY: Kristine Lawler, City Clerk PRESENTER: Kristine Lawler, City Clerk
ATTACHMENTS:

1. Proposed Ordinance - redline and clean

2. 14b Correspondence Received - Alex de Grassi

3. 14b Correspondence Received - Alan Nicholson
Summary: The City Council will consider introducing an ordinance to amend Section 1166 of the Ukiah City Code pertaining to the Design Review Board, adjusting the regular meeting schedule to a single, annual regular meeting and special meetings as needed.

Background: The Design Review Board (DRB) was established in 2012 in response to the elimination of the Redevelopment Agency (RDA). The DRB serves in an advisory capacity to City staff, the Zoning Administrator, the Planning Commission, and the City Council, on architecture and design of structures, site planning, and other urban design matters in the City. The DRB also assists with the implementation of the Ukiah General Plan, and to ensure the orderly growth and development of the City.

Discussion: Currently the DRB is scheduled to meet once a month. However, there is only a need to meet when there is a project to review. In recent years, this need has occurred only one to three times a year, without any set dates. The need for DRB review has been reduced partly as a result of zoning ordinance amendments establishing new "by-right" and administrative processes for certain new development projects, such as housing. For all regularly scheduled meetings that don't take place due to lack of need for the meeting, the meeting is canceled, and a cancellation notice is posted. Keeping regularly scheduled meeting dates open when no projects require review incurs Staff time costs to the City, and inconveniences DRB members who must keep these dates open for meetings that will likely be canceled.

For a more efficient use of time and cost, Staff proposes to hold one annual meeting to update the Board Members on current and upcoming projects, and then to schedule special meetings throughout the year when a particular project is ready for review. Therefore, Staff recommends that the Council introduce the proposed Ordinance (Attachment 1) by title only, to amend Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 4B, Section 1166 of the Ukiah City Code, pertaining to meetings, rules, and the record for the Design Review Board.

Recommended Action: Introduce an ordinance by title only amending Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 4B, Section 1166 of the Ukiah City Code, adjusting the regular meeting schedule of the Design Review Board to a single, annual regular meeting and special meetings as needed.

Re: Agenda Item 14B – Proposed Amendment to Section 1166 of the Ukiah City Code Dear Members of the City Council,
The Design Review Board has given valuable input and direction to both city planners and the Ukiah City Planning Commission over the 4 1/2 years I have served on the commission. The board’s recommendations for site and building design are often taken into consideration by staff prior to presentations to the commission and they often help shape conditions for approval of use permits when reviewed by the commission.

I understand the rationale to amend municipal code Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 4B, Section 1166 of the Ukiah City Code is to save the city some effort and expense involved in canceling unnecessary meetings, and because the ability to streamline projects that comply with objective design standards for by-right development does not require design review.

Nevertheless, I think there is great value in having certain projects reviewed by DRB members— many with careers as builders and architects or other relevant experience—regardless of what is required. Perhaps the role of the DRB should be reconsidered. Maybe they should be added to the list of referral agencies like the UVFA or the water department? Rather than limit Design Review Board meetings to one annual meeting and additional asneeded meetings, perhaps this is an opportunity to for greater discussion about how how they can contribute to our city’s development going forward.

I urge the city council to take time to consider this matter and not act on item 14B at the March 18 meeting.

Sincerely,
Alex de Grassi
Chair, Ukiah City Planning Commission

Re: Agenda Item 14B – Proposed Amendment to Section 1166 of the Ukiah City Code Dear Members of the City Council,
I am writing regarding Agenda Item 14B, which proposes amending Section 1166 of the Ukiah City Code to reduce Design Review Board (DRB) meetings from monthly to one annual meeting, with additional meetings called only as needed.

The Design Review Board plays a meaningful role in the city’s development review process.

Composed of professionals in architecture and construction, it offers technical and aesthetic expertise that complements the Planning Commission’s work — addressing considerations the Commission may not otherwise have the specialized background to evaluate. Reducing the DRB to a single annual meeting would effectively render it non-functional for any timely review purpose even with meetings as needed.

Rather than amending Section 1166 in isolation, I urge the Council to first consult with current DRB and Planning Commission members about the history, function, and practical contributions of each body. This conversation may reveal that the more productive path is not reduction, but clarification of purpose — ensuring the DRB serves as a genuine asset rather than an administrative burden.

This may be an opportunity for the Council to review the structure of its commissions and committees, and that review would benefit from examining the original intent of each body and whether current practices align with those purposes, rather than proceeding line by line without the full context.

I respectfully request that the Council postpone any vote on Item 14B until a more thorough discussion has taken place — one that includes input from affected commission members and addresses the larger question of how these bodies can best serve the community.

Respectfully,
Alan Nicholson

Discussion: Previously, the City Council discussed having more time allocated to reporting on committee and ad hoc activities. Often, the Council Reports section of the regular agenda is rushed due to impending business (i.e., public hearings), and not enough time is afforded for reports beyond community activities.

In an effort to foster regular updates on committee and ad hoc assignments, this item is being placed on the agenda to provide the City Council members an expanded opportunity to report on assignments and modify assignments as necessary.

The Trench Cut Policy Development Ad Hoc has completed its assigned task of developing and adopting a trench cut fee. As no additional responsibilities remain under the committee’s charge, Staff recommends that the Ad Hoc Committee be formally disbanded.

Recommended Action: Receive report(s). The Council will consider modifications to committee and ad hoc assignments along with the creation/elimination ad hoc(s); including the disbandment of the Trench Cut Policy Development Ad Hoc.

2026 AD HOC COMMITTEES
*Note: Changing the composition of an existing ad-hoc among current councilmembers after work has begun presents potential Brown Act issues. Requests for fully filled ad-hocs are represented on the draft, but staff does not recommend changes except to fill vacated assignments. The current requests on the sheet for fully composed ad-hocs are primarily intended to convey interest in topics covered by these ad-hoc committees for possible future consideration of new assignments.
