conservation, fuel management, or habitat restoration plan, or approved by Use Permit.

2. Fences or walls: Maximum height of 7 feet, unless consistent with an approved D .§ 9149.6. SITE AREA
There is no minimum site area for uses in the REC District; however, development intensity must conform to the recreation purpose and intent set forth in Section 9149.4 above .§ 9149. 7. SETBACKS ........... . Yard setbacks apply to all new structures, additions, grading, and site improvements, including fences, walls, pavement, and other hardscape features, as set forth below.

A Environmental. A minimum 100-foot setback is required from the edge of sensitive environmental resources, including creeks and rivers (measured from the top of bank), wetlands (from the delineated wetland boundary), and mapped sensitive habitat areas.

B. Visual. To minimize visual impacts, development within or near setback areas shall be sited and designed to maintain natural sightlines and reduce visual prominence through building placement, height and massing control, material selection, and landscape screening, with particular attention to ridgelines.

C. Slope. For sloped terrain, additional setbacks from the top of slope and toe of slope are required to avoid excessive grading. Slope percentage shall be measured as average grade over a horizontal distance of at least 25 feet, based on existing (pre-project) topography.

1. On slopes 15% to less than 30%, principal structures and foundations shall be set back a minimum of 1 O feet from the top of ridge and 1 O feet from the toe of slope.

2. On slopes 30% or greater, new structures and grading to create building pads are prohibited unless the review authority finds that no practicable alternative exists and that a geotechnical report demonstrates stability without increasing erosion risk; where allowed, the minimum top- and toe-of-slope setbacks shall be 30 feet.

D. Yard Setbacks: Any adjacent lot that shares a side or rear lot line with land zoned O-S shall provide a transition yard measured from that line as follows for the following uses:

1. Single Family Residential: Rear 25 feet, side 12 feet;

2. Multifamily: Rear 30 feet, side 15 feet;

3. Non-Residential: Rear 35 feet, side 15 feet.

E. Exception. As part of the applicable Use Permit process, the Zoning Administrator or the Planning Commission may allow encroachments into required setbacks when no practicable alternative exists and the proposed design minimizes both physical and visual disturbance.

Findings shall be supported by site- specific analysis, including (as applicable) a geotechnical report, erosion and sediment control plan, and visual analysis . . § 9149.8.PARKING ...

D
A. For all trailheads and recreation areas the parking requirements shall be one space per ten D (10) average daily visitors. The required number of parking spaces may be adjusted by the

Community Development Director through a Determination of Appropriate Use, based on anticipated patterns of use, including but not limited to similar regional facilities; bicycle or pedestrian access requirements; equestrian facilities; educational or group programming; seasonal or event-based usage; proximity to public transit or urbanized areas.

B. Parking surfaces shall be permeable and screened with vegetation, where feasible.

C. No overnight public parking is allowed unless allowed by an issued Special Event or Use Permit.

D. Other Uses: All other uses are subject to the provisions contained in Article 17 of this Chapter . . § 9149.9.ADDITIONAL.REqUIREMENTS ..

A. Resource Protection: Grading or vegetation removal shall only be permitted with approval from the Community Development Director or Public Works Director on an emergency basis when not part of an approved conservation, fuel management or habitat restoration plan.

B. Lighting: Artificial lighting in the Recreation District shall be minimized to the extent feasible and designed to reduce glare, skyglow, and light trespass onto adjacent properties, public rights-of-way, and sensitive environmental areas. Light fixtures shall utilize shielding and downward directionality. Lighting should generally be consistent with the International DarkSky Association's (IDA) guidelines for outdoor lighting to minimize light pollution. Exceptions for the illumination of active outdoor sports facilities, trails, or public safety functions are allowed, provided the lighting is designed to minimize off-site light spillover and glare.

C. Fencing: For Allowed uses, the use of fencing in the Recreation Zoning District is generally discouraged. Any fencing installed must be wildlife-friendly or implemented to maintain public safety. Fences are prohibited if they would impede wildlife movement within a designated wildlife or habitat corridor, as determined by the City based on substantial evidence.

D. Parking Lot & Recreation Area Landscaping: Landscape plantings in the Recreation District must be native and drought-tolerant species. Parking and recreation surfacing shall be permeable except where infeasible for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act or to provide emergency access.

Whenever a use is not listed in this Article as a used allowed by right or a use subject to a Use Permit in the REC Zoning District, the Community Development Director shall determine whether the use is appropriate for the Zoning District, either as of right or subject to a Use Permit. In making this determination, the Community Development Director shall find as follows:

A. That the use would not be incompatible with other existing or allowed uses in the REC Zoning District.

Page 13 of 41 ends

Page 289 of 425 ends

to the area in which the use would be located.

B. That the use would not be detrimental to the continuing preservation of resources or access D C. That the use involves a similar scale and impact to uses that are designated allowed uses in this Article.

D. That the use is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Recreation Zoning District, including the protection of natural resources, scenic values, and the long-term preservation of open space for public or ecological benefit.

E. In the case of determining that a use not listed in this Article as an allowed or permitted use could be established with the securing of a Use Permit, the Community Development Director shall find that the proposed use is similar in nature and intensity to the uses listed as permitted uses. All determinations of the Community Development Director regarding whether a use can be allowed or permitted in the Recreation Zoning District shall be final unless a written appeal to the City Council, stating the reasons for the appeal, and the appeal fee, if any, established from time to time by City Council resolution, is filed with the City Clerk within ten (10) days of the date the decision was made. Appeals may be filed by an applicant or any interested party. The City Council shall conduct a duly noticed public hearing on the appeal in accordance with the applicable procedures as set forth in this Chapter. At the close of the public hearing, the City Council may affirm, reverse, revise or modify the appealed decision of the Community Development Director. All City Council decisions on appeals of the Director's actions are final for the City.

§ 9229.6 USE OF AL TERNA TE TREE SPECIES
Tables 22 and 25 provide alternative tree species for planting as street trees and parking lot trees.

Use of a species from these tables requires written approval from the decision making body for the project (e.g., Planning Director, Zoning Administrator, Planning Commission) as determined by section 9231 of this code, Administration and Procedures. Trees from the Alternate Tree Table may be considered for planting when locational constraints or other project-specific issues make a tree from the Required Tree Table unsuitable for planting. The species included in Tables 21 and 24 were selected based on their ability to tolerate various site constraints, such as limited overhead or root space.

1. See also Table 19: Protected Trees.

2. See section 9231 of this code, Administration and Procedures. § 9229. 7 REQUIRED STREET TREES
Table 21: Required Street Trees for Primary Streets, identifies the tree species that are required to be planted on specific primary streets. Considerations for selection of the species to be planted include site constraints, such as root confinement, overhead wires, canopies, and other street trees in the area. The intent is to create a unifying theme consistent with the street tree design principles included in section 9229.5 of this code by limiting the number of tree species, thereby creating a distinct identity for each primary street included in Table 21. As noted in Table 21, for most streets there is one tree identified to be used at intersections and opportunities to select from several species for planting within the block.

ORDINANCE NO.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH AMENDING THE UKIAH 2040 GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP AND DIVISION 9, CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE 18 OF THE

UKIAH CITY CODE TO IMPLEMENT DOWNTOWN ZONING CODE (DZC) BOUNDARY MODIFICATIONS, REZONE SPECIFIC PARCELS CONSISTENT WITH THE UKIAH 2040 GENERAL PLAN, AND ADDING ARTICLE 11.6 ESTABLISHING AND REGULATING THE RECREATION (REC) ZONING DISTRICT.

The City Council of the City of Ukiah hereby ordains as follows:

SECTION ONE. FINDINGS

1. The City Council of the City of Ukiah finds that the General Plan Amendment, Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) boundary modifications, comprehensive rezoning of specific parcels, and the establishment of the Recreation (REC) Zoning District (collectively, "the Project") implement and are consistent with the Ukiah 2040 General Plan, including but not limited to the following goals and policies:
• Land Use Goal LU-3, Policy LU-2.1, and Goal LU-4: The Project advances these goals by aligning zoning designations with existing land uses, restoring commercial zoning designations (C-1) along the East Perkins Street corridor, and refining the Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) boundary to focus form-based standards on the historic Downtown Core where those standards are most appropriate and effective. • Goal ENV-1 and Recreational Land Use Designation: The REC Zoning District implements the Recreational (REC) land use designation and establishes a regulatory framework to identify and protect lands with generally unrestricted access for public parks, quasi-public recreation facilities, trails, and private parks or recreation facilities. • Public Facilities Goal PFS-12 (Policies PFS-12.1 and 12.7): The REC Zoning District provides a regulatory mechanism to implement a connected park system and the Great Redwood Trail by identifying and managing lands along the railroad tracks, including the trail alignment and the Ukiah Rail Depot, for trail corridors and active recreation. • Economic Development Goal ED-5 (Policies ED-2.1, ED-5.1, and ED-5.3): The Project promotes the local economy and diversifies tourist attractions by applying the Public Facilities (PF) zoning designation to the Mendocino County Superior Courthouse site to accommodate the new civic facility, its associated public parking, and pedestrian connections to the downtown core, maintaining existing outdoor recreation opportunities, and supporting the expansion of the regional trail network.

2. The City Council finds that the proposed zoning designations are consistent with the corresponding General Plan land use designations as follows: parcels designated Community Commercial (CC) are rezoned to Community Commercial (C-1); parcels designated Downtown Core (DC) retain or are incorporated into the Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) districts; parcels designated Public (P) are rezoned to Public Facilities (PF); parcels designated Recreational (REC) are rezoned to the Recreation (REC) Zoning District created by this Ordinance; and select parcels are rezoned to Heavy Commercial (C-2) consistent with their existing development patterns and applicable General Plan land use designations.

ATTACHMENT 7

Page 318 of 425 ends

Page 2 of 31 ends

Adoption of the Project establishes consistency between General Plan designations and zoning classifications throughout the Project Area.

3. The City Council finds that the Project is consistent with the Mendocino County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (UKIALUCP). The reclassification of parcels to PF and REC reflects low-intensity public and recreational uses and restricts residential development, thereby complying with UKIALUCP density and safety criteria for Airport Influence Zones 4 and 6, fulfilling General Plan Policy LU-10.6. Furthermore, the majority of parcels affected by the DZC boundary modifications will see a reduction in maximum allowed residential density or maintain intensities that do not exceed applicable UKIALUCP thresholds.

4. The City Council finds that the Project promotes the public health, safety, and welfare by protecting recreational areas, supporting public and trail-oriented amenities, aligning the City’s zoning regulations with existing development patterns and General Plan designations, clarifying development standards for property owners and applicants, facilitating contextappropriate infill development, and supporting planned public investments.

5. The City Council finds that the Project has been reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines. The Project qualifies for streamlined environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 and Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 because it is consistent with the development density, land use designations, and policy framework established by the Ukiah 2040 General Plan, for which the City previously certified an Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2022050556). No project-specific significant effects peculiar to the Project or its location have been identified that were not previously analyzed in the certified EIR.

SECTION TWO.

1. See also Table 19: Protected Trees.

2. See section 9231 of this code, Administration and Procedures. § 9229.7 REQUIRED STREET TREES
Table 21: Required Street Trees for Primary Streets, identifies the tree species that are required to be planted on specific primary streets. Considerations for selection of the species to be planted include site constraints, such as root confinement, overhead wires, canopies, and other street trees in the area. The intent is to create a unifying theme consistent with the street tree design principles included in section 9229.5 of this code by limiting the number of tree species, thereby creating a distinct identity for each primary street included in Table 21. As noted in Table 21, for most streets there is one tree identified to be used at intersections and opportunities to select from several species for planting within the block.

3 II. INTRODUCTION

1. Purpose of the CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Findings of Consistency California Public Resources Code section 21083.3 and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15183 provide an exemption from additional environmental review for projects that are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.

Section 15183 specifies that examination of environmental effects shall be limited to those effects that:
(1) Are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project would be located, and were not analyzed as significant effects in a prior EIR on the zoning action, general plan, or community plan, with which the project is consistent,
(2) Are potentially significant off-site impacts and cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the prior EIR prepared for the general plan, community plan or zoning action, or
(3) Are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the prior EIR.

Section 15183(c) further specifies that if an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the proposed project, has been addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards, then an additional EIR need not be prepared for that project solely on the basis of that impact.

2. Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR
The Ukiah 2040 General Plan and its associated EIR (SCH# 2022050556) were certified in December 2022. The General Plan designates land uses defining the type and amount of development that can occur throughout the City through the planning horizon year of 2040. The EIR comprehensively evaluated environmental impacts that would result from the General Plan’s implementation, including information related to existing site conditions, analyses of the types and magnitude of project-level and cumulative environmental impacts, and feasible mitigation measures. The EIR acknowledges that future projects consistent with the General Plan may qualify for streamlined environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, subject to evaluation of project-specific effects and the criteria contained in that section.

3. Rationale for Utilization of Section 15183
The City has determined that CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 is the appropriate streamlining mechanism for environmental review of the Project. The purpose of Section 15183 is to streamline review for projects that are consistent with the development density and policy framework previously analyzed in a certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR), thereby reducing the need for repetitive environmental analysis. By utilizing the streamlining provisions of CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, the City relies on the comprehensive analysis, mitigation measures, and

Page 352 of 425 ends

4 development assumptions already certified in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR, including the land use framework implemented through General Plan Policy LU-10.1 (Downtown Zoning Code), which directs periodic updates to the Downtown Zoning Code to maintain consistency with General Plan goals, policies, and land use designations. This allows the environmental review to focus on whether the proposed amendments would result in project-specific effects that were not previously analyzed, rather than re-analyzing environmental effects already evaluated in the certified General Plan EIR.

This streamlining mechanism is distinct from a Negative Declaration (ND) or Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). An ND or MND is only appropriate when there is no substantial evidence that a project may have a significant effect on the environment, or when project revisions or mitigation measures reduce potentially significant effects to a less-than-significant level.

The Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR identified significant and unavoidable impacts related to Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and Noise associated with implementation of the General Plan through the year 2040. Because the Project consists of amendments to zoning districts, development standards, and implementing regulations associated with the General Plan, the Project contributes incrementally to the development anticipated and evaluated by the General Plan EIR.

Accordingly, preparation of a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration would not appropriately reflect the significant and unavoidable impacts previously identified and acknowledged through certification of the General Plan EIR.

Section 15183 addresses this circumstance by providing that additional environmental review is not required for impacts previously evaluated in a certified EIR unless project-specific circumstances described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 are present. This allows implementation of the General Plan through subsequent zoning and regulatory actions without duplicative environmental review for impacts already evaluated at the plan level.

As documented in Section IV below, the Project remains consistent with the applicable land use designations, residential density ranges, and implementation policies of the Ukiah 2040 General Plan, including Policy LU-10.1 (Downtown Zoning Code), Land Use Goal LU-4 (Commercial), Policies PFS-12.1 (Connected Park System) and PFS-12.7 (Great Redwood Trail - Ukiah), and Policies ED-5.1 (Outdoor Recreation) and ED-5.3 (Great Redwood Trail). The Project does not result in project-specific effects that were not previously analyzed in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR or the 2012 Downtown Zoning Code MND. Therefore, streamlined environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 applies, and further environmental review is limited to the analysis contained herein.

4. 2012 Downtown Zoning Code Mitigated Negative Declaration In September 2012, the City of Ukiah adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) (SCH# 2012062026) for the adoption of the original Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) [See Attachment 1 DZC Final ISMND]. This prior environmental document analyzed the transition of the project area from standard commercial zoning to form-based codes. It identified potentially significant impacts regarding air quality (construction dust), biological resources (creek setbacks), cultural resources, and traffic, all of which were mitigated to a less than significant level through adopted mitigation measures. These measures have subsequently been incorporated into City ordinances, standard

Page 353 of 425 ends

5 development review procedures, and other uniformly applied development standards. This Findings of Consistency document draws upon the environmental setting and analysis established in the 2012 MND in evaluating whether the proposed amendments would result in project-specific effects not previously analyzed through prior environmental review.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1. Project Purpose
The proposed Project involves amendments to the Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) text and a comprehensive rezoning of specific parcels within the DZC boundary to improve consistency between zoning regulations, existing land use patterns, and the Ukiah 2040 General Plan, including Policy LU-10.1 (Downtown Zoning Code), which directs updates to the Downtown Zoning Code to maintain consistency with General Plan goals, policies, and land use designations. Specifically, the Project proposes to:
• Rezone parcels currently designated General Urban (GU) mostly back to Community Commercial (C-1), consistent with General Plan Land Use Goal LU-4 (Commercial) and the Community Commercial land use designation described in Table 2-1 of the Ukiah 2040 General Plan, which contemplate retail, service, and commercial activities along major commercial corridors. Certain parcels are also proposed for rezoning to Public Facilities (PF) where existing or planned governmental and civic uses are present, including the new Mendocino County Superior Courthouse and associated public infrastructure. • Rezone portions of the Urban Center (UC) district to Recreation (REC) to implement the Recreational (REC) General Plan land use designation and support Policies PFS-12.1 (Connected Park System), PFS-12.7 (Great Redwood Trail - Ukiah), ED-5.1 (Outdoor Recreation), and ED-5.3 (Great Redwood Trail).
• Rezone portions of the Urban Center (UC) district to Heavy Commercial (C-2), recognizing existing warehouse, contractor, equipment storage, and service-commercial activities and improving consistency between zoning and the Highway Commercial land use designation described in Table 2-1 of the Ukiah 2040 General Plan. The amendment also supports Policies ED-3.1 (Land Supply Inventory) and ED-3.2 (Infill Sites), which encourage maintaining an adequate supply of commercially designated land and facilitating development consistent with adopted land use designations. • Rezone one parcel from Heavy Commercial (C-2) to Recreation (REC) to maintain consistency between the zoning designation, Recreational General Plan designation, and the existing Great Redwood Trail corridor.
• Refine the DZC boundaries to apply Downtown Zoning Code standards within areas designated Downtown Core and Neighborhood Center, consistent with Policies LU-2.1 (Downtown Mixed-Use), LU-2.3 (Mixed-Use Design), and LU-2.4 (Pedestrian Orientation), while applying commercial zoning districts to properties designated Community Commercial or Highway Commercial.

The purpose of this Project is to implement Policy LU-10.1 (Downtown Zoning Code), improve consistency between zoning and General Plan land use designations, facilitate residential development through the City's Objective Design and Development Standards (ODDS),

Page 354 of 425 ends

6 implement the Recreational land use designation, and apply zoning districts that correspond to the land use designations established by the Ukiah 2040 General Plan.

The Project also establishes the Recreation (REC) Zoning District to implement the Recreational (REC) land use designation of the Ukiah 2040 General Plan and support implementation of Policies PFS-12.1 (Connected Park System), PFS-12.7 (Great Redwood Trail - Ukiah), ED-5.1 (Outdoor Recreation), and ED-5.3 (Great Redwood Trail). The REC District was modeled after the recently adopted Open-Space (O-S) Zoning District contained in Division 9, Chapter 2 of the Ukiah City Code and establishes a combination of allowed uses, discretionary Use Permit review, operational standards, and “Determination of Appropriate Use” procedures for recreational lands and trail-oriented public facilities. The district establishes a regulatory framework for public parks, trails, recreational amenities, trail-support facilities, and recreational public infrastructure consistent with the Recreational land use designation and Policies PFS-12.1 (Connected Park System), PFS-12.7 (Great Redwood Trail - Ukiah), ED-5.1 (Outdoor Recreation), and ED-5.3 (Great Redwood Trail).

2. Environmental Setting and Project Location
The Project area encompasses approximately 65 acres comprising 216 parcels within the central portion of the City of Ukiah (See Attachment 2, Existing DZC Maps & Parcels, and Attachment 3, Proposed DZC Map). 93 of those parcels are proposed for a change in zoning (See Attachment 4, Table of Rezoned Parcels). The area includes the historic Downtown Core, the East Perkins Street corridor, and the rail corridor:
• Perkins Street Corridor: Characterized by auto-oriented commercial uses and larger irregular parcels.
• Airport Influence Area: The project site is located approximately one mile north of the Ukiah Municipal Airport. The project area falls within the Airport Influence Area (AIA) as defined by the 2021 UKIALUCP. Specifically, portions of the project area are located within Compatibility Zone 4 (Outer Approach/Departure Zone), Compatibility Zone 6 (Traffic Pattern Zone), and the Other Airport Environs (OAE) zone (See Attachment 5 DZC Existing Airport Zone Map).
• Hydrology: Gibson Creek flows through a portion of the project area from the northwest to the southeast.

3. Background
Legislative History
In 2007, the City conducted a design charrette to develop a vision for the Downtown and Perkins Street areas, which led to the adoption of the DZC in 2012. The original environmental review for the DZC determined that the code would result in beneficial impacts to aesthetics and air quality by encouraging compact, walkable development. However, the original DZC relied heavily on the availability of redevelopment funds to finance the site assembly, infrastructure upgrades, and gap financing necessary to transform irregular, auto-oriented parcels into the pedestrian-oriented urban grid envisioned by the charette.

Page 355 of 425 ends

7 The dissolution of redevelopment agencies by the State of California in 2012 fundamentally altered the implementation landscape. This legislative shift transferred the burden of public infrastructure improvement, as is evidenced by the street extensions originally planned to break up large blocks, almost entirely to private development. Consequently, the strict form-based standards of the DZC, which required buildings to be pulled to the street and parking to be hidden, became economically infeasible for many property owners along the Perkins Street corridor, where parcels vary widely in width, depth, and frontage.

Ukiah 2040 General Plan
The Ukiah 2040 General Plan directs periodic updates to the Downtown Zoning Code to ensure consistency with General Plan goals, policies, and land use designations (Policy LU-10.1 – Downtown Zoning Code). Table 2-1 of the Land Use Element differentiates the Downtown Core designation, which emphasizes mixed-use infill development, pedestrian-oriented design, and downtown revitalization, from the Community Commercial and Highway Commercial designations, which accommodate regional-serving retail, automobile-oriented commercial activities, and larger commercial sites.

This distinction is reflected in Policies LU-2.1 (Downtown Mixed-Use), LU-2.3 (Mixed-Use Design), and LU-2.4 (Pedestrian Orientation), which promote pedestrian-oriented mixed-use development within the Downtown Core, while Land Use Goal LU-4 (Commercial) supports commercial development within designated commercial areas. Policies PFS-12.1 (Connected Park System) and PFS-12.7 (Great Redwood Trail - Ukiah) support the development of an interconnected park and trail system, including the Great Redwood Trail, while Policies ED-5.1 (Outdoor Recreation) and ED-5.3 (Great Redwood Trail) recognize recreation and trail-oriented facilities as important components of the City's economic development and tourism strategy.

Review of the adopted zoning framework, General Plan land use designations, existing development patterns, the courthouse project, and the Great Redwood Trail corridor identified several areas where zoning classifications did not correspond directly with adopted General Plan land use designations. The proposed amendments address those areas by implementing the Recreational land use designation through the REC District, applying Public Facilities zoning to courthouse-related properties, applying commercial zoning districts to properties designated Community Commercial or Highway Commercial, and applying Downtown Zoning Code standards within areas designated Downtown Core and Neighborhood Center.

New Ukiah Courthouse EIR and Addendum (2012/2022)
In December 2022, the Judicial Council of California adopted an Addendum to the New Ukiah Courthouse EIR (SCH #2011042089). This Addendum analyzed the specific environmental impacts of developing the new courthouse on the parcels the City proposing to rezone to Public Facilities (PF), (APNs associated with the “Railroad Depot site”). The Addendum concluded that the finalized project design would result in reduced environmental impacts compared to the original 2012 analysis. Specifically, the facility size was reduced from 114,000 square feet to 77,887 square feet, and the project site was configured to exclude the parcel containing the historic Railroad Depot, thereby avoiding direct impacts to the historic resource. This environmental document provides project-specific environmental analysis for the courthouse site

Page 356 of 425 ends

8 that informs the City's evaluation of whether the proposed Public Facilities zoning would result in environmental effects not previously analyzed through prior environmental review.

Prior to the Courthouse EIR, the City prepared an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Railroad Depot Site Land Acquisition and Soil Remediation (July 2011). This document specifically analyzed the environmental effects of assembling the parcels now proposed for Public Facilities (PF) zoning and remediating soil contamination associated with historic rail uses.

Additionally, the 2012 New Ukiah Courthouse EIR provided site-specific analysis regarding hazardous materials, railroad safety and traffic interactions at the Perkins Street crossing. These documents established a baseline of mitigation for the Depot site that remains applicable to the proposed rezoning.

4. Comparative Zoning Analysis
To demonstrate that the Project is consistent with the Ukiah 2040 General Plan and remains within the scope of the certified Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs), this section provides a comparative analysis of the existing and proposed zoning standards. • Table 1 (Zoning Realignments) details the specific parcel counts for both the “unwinding” of the DZC along Perkins Street and the “expansion” of the DZC along Oak/Seminary. For a comprehensive overview all changed parcels, please refer to Attachment 3 Proposed DZC Zoning Map and Attachment 4 Table of Rezoned Parcels. • Table 2 (Comparison of Density Standards) further illustrates the DZC reduction and expansion:

1. DZC Reduction: Returning the Perkins Street corridor to Community Commercial (C-1) maintains the existing maximum residential density of 28 dwelling units per acre. Residential development remains permitted consistent with the density range analyzed in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR.

2. DZC Expansion: Incorporating the Oak Street and Seminary Avenue parcels into the General Urban (GU) zone increases or maintains residential density allowances while applying zoning standards consistent with the Downtown Core designation described in General Plan Table 2-1 and Policies LU-2.1 (Downtown Mixed-Use), LU-2.3 (Mixed-Use Design), and LU-2.4 (Pedestrian Orientation). • Table 3 (Changes to Land Use Allowances) summarizes the principal regulatory changes associated with the proposed rezoning actions. The Perkins Street amendments restore access to commercial uses contemplated by the Community Commercial designation, while the Oak Street and Seminary Avenue amendments apply Downtown Zoning Code development standards intended to support the pedestrian-oriented mixed-use development pattern envisioned by Policies LU-2.1 (Downtown Mixed-Use), LU-2.3, and LU-2.4 (Pedestrian Orientation).

IV. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The following evaluation determines whether the proposed Ordinance qualifies for streamlined review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 by addressing the three mandatory findings related to density, project-specific effects, and previously unanalyzed impacts.

1. Density
Finding: The proposed Ordinance is consistent with the residential density ranges and land use designations established by the Ukiah 2040 General Plan and analyzed in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH# 2022050556).

Discussion: The Project modifies zoning boundaries and zoning district classifications to improve consistency between zoning and the land use designations established by the Ukiah 2040 General Plan. A comparative analysis demonstrates that the proposed zoning changes remain within the development intensity analyzed in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR and the 2012 Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) MND.

The proposed rezoning of the Perkins Street corridor from Downtown Zoning Code districts to Community Commercial (C-1) does not reduce the residential density potential previously analyzed under the Downtown Zoning Code. The 2012 DZC MND analyzed the project area with a maximum residential density of 28 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). The proposed C-1 zoning district also permits a maximum density of 28 du/ac, consistent with the Community Commercial designation identified in General Plan Table 2-2. Returning these parcels to Community Commercial (C-1) zoning therefore maintains the same maximum residential density previously analyzed for these properties under the Downtown Zoning Code.

Page 362 of 425 ends

14 The Project also remains within the development intensity analyzed in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR. The General Plan EIR analyzed the Downtown Core (DC) designation with a maximum density of 40 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). By rezoning approximately 65 parcels currently designated Downtown Core or Community Commercial to Community Commercial (C-1), which is capped at 28 du/ac, the Project remains below the maximum residential density analyzed for the Downtown Core designation. Accordingly, the Project does not exceed the density assumptions established in the certified environmental documents.

In addition to maximum densities, the Project remains consistent with the density ranges established by the General Plan. The Ukiah 2040 General Plan Land Use Element identifies a residential density range of 15–28 dwelling units per acre for the Community Commercial designation (Table 2-2). Future residential mixed-use development within the proposed C-1 zoning district therefore remains subject to the density range established by the General Plan and evaluated in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR. Accordingly, the rezoning remains consistent with the residential density ranges and development assumptions analyzed in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR.

Rezoning the courthouse properties to Public Facilities (PF) and the Great Redwood Trail and associated Depot properties to Recreation (REC) removes those properties from the residential and mixed-use development assumptions applicable to the Downtown Zoning Code districts. The 2022 Courthouse EIR Addendum evaluated a courthouse facility totaling 77,887 gross square feet, compared to the 114,000-square-foot facility evaluated in the original 2012 Courthouse EIR.

Accordingly, the proposed PF zoning remains within the development intensity analyzed through prior environmental review.

The Project also expands application of the General Urban (GU) district to approximately 24 parcels along the Oak Street and Seminary Avenue corridors. While some of these parcels are currently zoned Neighborhood Commercial (CN), the Ukiah 2040 General Plan designates the area as Downtown Core. General Plan Table 2-1 and Policies LU-2.1 (Downtown Mixed-Use), LU-2.3 (Mixed-Use Design), and LU-2.4 (Pedestrian Orientation) support mixed-use, pedestrianoriented development within the Downtown Core. The 2012 DZC MND analyzed environmental effects associated with application of the General Urban district within the Downtown Zoning Code area. Application of the General Urban (GU) district to these properties therefore remains consistent with the Downtown Core land use designation and within the density range previously analyzed through the 2012 Downtown Zoning Code MND and the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR.

The proposed density also remains compatible with the Ukiah Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (UKIALUCP). The project area lies within Compatibility Zone 4 (Outer Approach/Departure Zone) and Compatibility Zone 6 (Traffic Pattern Zone). While Zone 6 generally imposes no limit on residential density, Zone 4 includes an Urban Overlay Zone that permits residential densities up to 35 dwelling units per acre within the downtown area (UKIALUCP Table 3A). Because the proposed Ordinance generally limits residential density to 28 du/ac or less, the Project remains within the residential density allowances established by the UKIALUCP and does not exceed the density assumptions evaluated through prior environmental review.

15 2. Project-Specific Effects Peculiar to the Project or its Site Finding: The Project area contains several site-specific conditions, including the historic Railroad Depot, documented hazardous materials associated with former railroad operations, Gibson Creek and associated riparian habitat, airport compatibility constraints, and the East Perkins Street rail crossing. These conditions have been analyzed through the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR, the 2012 Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) MND, the 2011 Depot Site IS/MND, the New Ukiah Courthouse EIR and Addendum, the Ukiah Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (UKIALUCP), and applicable City ordinances. The proposed rezoning does not create new project-specific environmental effects peculiar to the project or site that were not previously analyzed through those environmental documents or regulatory programs.

Discussion:

Aesthetics
The Oak Street and Seminary Avenue corridors contain structures with potential historic or architectural value. Expansion of the Downtown Zoning Code to these areas applies the same frontage standards, design requirements, and historic building provisions previously analyzed in the 2012 DZC MND. That environmental document concluded that application of those standards would result in beneficial aesthetic effects associated with improved building design and compatibility. Because the proposed amendments extend an existing regulatory framework previously evaluated through environmental review, no new project-specific aesthetic effects peculiar to the project area have been identified.

Airport Safety and Airspace
Portions of the project area are located within Compatibility Zones 4 and 6 and the Other Airport Environs area identified by the UKIALUCP. The proposed zoning amendments do not establish land uses identified as incompatible within the applicable airport compatibility zones. Future development within the project area remains subject to the requirements of the UKIALUCP, applicable FAA regulations, and City review procedures. No project-specific airport compatibility effects have been identified that were not previously addressed through the UKIALUCP and prior environmental review.

Biological Resources
The project area encompasses Gibson Creek, a sensitive riparian corridor that also presents flood hazards. The proposed rezoning to Public Facilities (PF) and Community Commercial (C-1) does not create peculiar environmental effects because the creek is protected by a robust framework of existing mitigation measures and recently adopted City ordinances that address both biological integrity and flood safety.

The 2012 DZC MND identified potential impacts to the creek from development and adopted mitigation measures requiring a 50-foot building setback from the riparian corridor (unless a shorter distance is supported by CDFW) and prohibiting native plant removal. These protections are reinforced by Ukiah 2040 General Plan Policy ENV-6.5 (Creek Protection). Additionally, the 2011 IS/MND for the Depot site acquisition specifically evaluated excavation activities located 50–

Page 364 of 425 ends

16 75 feet from the creek and found impacts to be less than significant through the implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to protect the riparian corridor from sedimentation.

Portions of the creek corridor are located within flood hazard areas (Zones A and B). However, flood risks are not peculiar to this rezoning because they are uniformly regulated by the City’s 2025 Floodplain Management regulations (Ordinance 1259, adding Division 9, Chapter 6 to the Ukiah City Code). This ordinance adopts the most recent Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) and requires that any new development obtain a floodplain permit and elevate structures above the base flood elevation. Furthermore, the 2022 Courthouse EIR Addendum confirmed that recent infrastructure, such as the bridge crossing over Gibson Creek built subsequent to the 2012 EIR, has accommodated site access without worsening flood conditions.

As these specific site constraints are managed by the 2025 Floodplain Ordinance and the biological mitigation measures established in the 2012 MND, the rezoning does not introduce new, unmitigated peculiar effects related to the creek.

Cultural Resources
The project area includes the historic Ukiah Railroad Depot. While the 2012 MND and the 2012 Courthouse EIR identified potential impacts to this resource, the 2022 Courthouse EIR Addendum provides substantial evidence that the specific rezoning of the courthouse parcels to Public Facilities (PF) will not adversely affect the depot. The Judicial Council acquired only the vacant tracts adjacent to the depot and did not acquire the parcel containing the historic structure.

Consequently, the 2022 Addendum concluded that construction will have no direct impact on the historic depot structure. Therefore, rezoning the courthouse site to PF does not create a peculiar significant effect on historic resources.

Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The parcels proposed for Public Facilities (PF) zoning (the Depot site) are identified on the Regional Water Quality Control Board’s hazardous materials list (Case #1NMC397) due to historic railroad operations. The 2011 IS/MND and the 2012 Courthouse EIR (Impact 4.6-2) analyzed these peculiar site conditions and determined that impacts would be less than significant through compliance with the Remedial Action Plan approved by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. As the cleanup and construction activities are governed by these existing regulatory frameworks and adopted mitigation measures, the rezoning does not create a new or peculiar unmitigated hazard.

Housing
The proposed rezoning of the Perkins Street corridor to Community Commercial (C-1) would allow residential development to proceed pursuant to the City's Objective Design and Development Standards (ODDS). The 2012 Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration stated that the form-based regulations were intended to facilitate compact, pedestrian-oriented development, mixed land uses, and a variety of housing types. Since adoption of the DZC in 2012, relatively limited redevelopment has occurred within portions of the

Page 365 of 425 ends

17 Perkins Street corridor subject to DZC regulations. City records indicate that one new standalone commercial structure (536 E. Perkins Street) has been constructed within the corridor during that period. Under the existing DZC, certain development proposals may require approval of an Exception pursuant to Ukiah City Code Section 9231.5.

Under the proposed C-1 zoning, multifamily dwellings may be approved subject to compliance with the City's Objective Design and Development Standards (Ukiah City Code Chapter 2, Article

5.2; Sections 9055 and 9081). Accordingly, residential development within the Perkins Street corridor would remain permitted at densities previously analyzed in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR while utilizing the City's existing objective residential development standards.

Land Use
The proposed rezoning of certain parcels from Urban Center to Heavy Commercial (C-2) applies a zoning classification that permits warehouse, contractor, equipment storage, and servicecommercial activities already present on portions of the affected properties. These uses fall within the range of commercial and employment-generating uses evaluated in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR. The rezoning does not introduce a land use not previously analyzed through prior environmental review and does not create a project-specific land use effect peculiar to the site.

Transportation
The 2012 Courthouse EIR (Impact 4.10-3) analyzed potential safety hazards resulting from increased traffic near the at-grade railroad crossing on East Perkins Street. The EIR adopted mitigation requiring coordination with the California Public Utilities Commission, and the North Coast Railroad Authority to ensure safety standards are met. The proposed rezoning to C-1 and PF maintains the land use assumptions of that analysis. Therefore the specific safety hazard regarding the rail crossing has already been analyzed and mitigated, and this Ordinance creates no new peculiar safety effects.

3. Significant Impacts Not Analyzed in the Prior EIR
Finding: There are no project-specific impacts associated with the proposed Ordinance that were not previously analyzed through the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR, the 2012 Downtown Zoning Code MND, the 2011 Depot Site IS/MND, the 2012 Courthouse EIR, the 2022 Courthouse EIR Addendum, or other applicable environmental review documents.

Discussion: The Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR served as a Program EIR, comprehensively analyzing the impacts of land use changes. The 2012 MND provided site-specific analysis for the DZC area.

Air Quality
The 2012 Downtown Zoning Code MND identified construction-generated particulate matter (PM10) as a potentially significant impact associated with future redevelopment activities within the Downtown Zoning Code area. Mitigation measures requiring dust control practices, including watering of disturbed areas and covering of stockpiles, were incorporated into the MND. The Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR similarly evaluated construction-related air quality impacts (Impact

Page 366 of 425 ends

18 AQ-2) and identified compliance with Bay Area Air Quality Management District Basic Construction Mitigation Measures as a means of reducing impacts.

The proposed Ordinance does not increase development intensity beyond that analyzed in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR. In addition, the 2022 Courthouse EIR Addendum evaluated the courthouse project under a reduced development footprint compared to the original 2012 Courthouse EIR and noted that prior demolition activities had already occurred on the courthouse site. Accordingly, no new air quality impacts have been identified that were not previously analyzed through prior environmental review.

Cultural Resources
The project area contains historic and cultural resources, including the Ukiah Railroad Depot. The 2012 Downtown Zoning Code MND evaluated potential impacts to historic resources and concluded that application of the Downtown Zoning Code's historic building standards would reduce impacts associated with future redevelopment. The Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR identified impacts to historic resources as significant and unavoidable (Impact CUL-1) and incorporated mitigation measures including implementation of the Historic Resources Study Program.

The proposed Ordinance does not eliminate or modify the historic review procedures contained in Ukiah City Code Section 3016. In addition, the 2022 Courthouse EIR Addendum concluded that the courthouse project would not directly affect the historic Depot structure because the Depot parcel was excluded from the courthouse development footprint. No new impacts to historic or cultural resources have been identified that were not previously evaluated through prior environmental review.

Land Use
The Downtown Zoning Code prohibited formula fast-food restaurants and drive-through facilities within the Downtown Zoning districts. The proposed Ordinance rezones portions of the Perkins Street corridor to Community Commercial (C-1), where drive-through facilities and formula restaurants are permitted subject to the standards of that district.

The affected properties are designated Community Commercial or Downtown Core by the Ukiah 2040 General Plan and are located along the East Perkins Street commercial corridor. The Community Commercial designation, associated development intensities, and commercial land use assumptions were evaluated through the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR. The proposed rezoning does not introduce land use categories beyond those contemplated by the Community Commercial designation or analyzed through the General Plan EIR.

In addition to drive-through facilities and formula restaurants, the rezoning restores access to commercial service, retail, personal service, and artisan manufacturing uses permitted within the Community Commercial district. Similarly, rezoning selected parcels to Heavy Commercial (C-2) permits warehouse, contractor, equipment storage, and service-commercial activities consistent with the Highway Commercial land use designation. These land use categories and associated

Page 367 of 425 ends

19 development assumptions were evaluated through the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR and do not constitute new land use impacts not previously analyzed.

Noise
The Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR evaluated airport-related noise exposure (Impact NOI-3) and concluded that continued implementation of applicable state and federal aviation regulations, together with the UKIALUCP, would minimize noise-related impacts. Portions of the project area are located within the Airport Influence Area; however, the project area is generally located outside the 55 dB CNEL contour associated with the Ukiah Municipal Airport.

The proposed Ordinance does not introduce land uses or development intensities beyond those previously evaluated in the General Plan EIR. No new noise impacts have been identified that were not previously analyzed through prior environmental review.

Public Services
The Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR evaluated impacts associated with parks, recreational facilities, and public services, including implementation of trail and recreation improvements throughout the City (Impact PSR-3). The EIR concluded that impacts associated with expansion of recreational facilities would be less than significant.

The proposed Recreation (REC) zoning district implements the Recreational land use designation established by the General Plan and provides a zoning framework for recreational facilities, trails, and trail-support amenities previously contemplated by the General Plan. No new public service impacts have been identified that were not previously analyzed through the General Plan EIR.

Traffic
Previous environmental documents, including the 2012 Downtown Zoning Code MND, the 2012 Courthouse EIR, and the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR, evaluated transportation impacts associated with development within the project area. The Courthouse EIR identified impacts at the US-101 Northbound Ramp/Perkins Street intersection and adopted Mitigation Measure 4.10- 2 requiring fair-share participation in future transportation improvements.

The proposed rezoning of Perkins Street corridor properties to Community Commercial (C-1) and courthouse-related parcels to Public Facilities (PF) does not increase residential density beyond the levels analyzed in the Downtown Zoning Code MND or the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR. In addition, properties proposed for Public Facilities (PF) and Recreation (REC) zoning are no longer available for mixed-use residential development assumed under portions of the Downtown Zoning Code.

The expansion of the Downtown Zoning Code to Oak Street and Seminary Avenue applies development standards previously evaluated through the 2012 Downtown Zoning Code MND.

The General Urban district and associated development standards were analyzed as part of the Downtown Zoning Code environmental review.

Page 368 of 425 ends

20 Accordingly, the transportation impacts associated with development in the project area have previously been analyzed through applicable environmental documents, and the proposed Ordinance does not create transportation impacts that were not previously evaluated.

Wildfire
The Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR evaluated wildfire hazards associated with future development within the City. Since certification of the General Plan EIR, the City has adopted Ordinance No. 1256 and updated Ukiah City Code Section 5200 to incorporate current Fire Hazard Severity Zone mapping and applicable fire safety standards.

Future development facilitated by the proposed Ordinance remains subject to applicable provisions of the California Building Code, Public Resources Code Sections 4290 and 4291, and the City's adopted fire hazard regulations. The proposed Ordinance does not create wildfirerelated impacts beyond those previously analyzed through the General Plan EIR and applicable regulatory programs.

4. Cumulative Impacts
Finding: There are no potentially significant offsite and/or cumulative impacts that the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to evaluate.

Discussion: The General Plan EIR analyzed cumulative impacts for all resource areas.

Traffic
The 2012 MND identified the US-101/Perkins Street ramp intersections as operating at unacceptable levels and adopted a mitigation measure requiring future development to contribute fair share payments toward signalization and improvements. The 2040 General Plan EIR also analyzed VMT and traffic impacts. The rezoning to C-1 does not increase the trip generation potential beyond what was analyzed in the 2012 MND or the 2040 General Plan EIR, because the applicable residential density ranges remain within those evaluated in the 2012 DZC MND and the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR.

Airport Operations
The cumulative effects of development within the Airport Influence Area were evaluated through the Ukiah Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (UKIALUCP) and the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR. Future development within the project area remains subject to the compatibility requirements, density limitations, and operational standards established by the UKIALUCP. The proposed zoning amendments do not establish land uses or development intensities beyond those previously evaluated through the UKIALUCP and the General Plan EIR. Accordingly, no cumulative airport compatibility impacts have been identified that were not previously analyzed.

5. New Information
Finding: There is no substantial new information that results in more severe environmental impacts than anticipated by the Ukiah 2040 EIR.

Page 369 of 425 ends

21 Discussion: No substantial new information has emerged since the certification of the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR in December 2022 that results in more severe impacts. The 2022 Courthouse EIR Addendum provides new information confirming that impacts related to the courthouse site (density, cultural resources, hazards) are less severe than previously analyzed.

The 2012 MND provides historical context for the DZC area, confirming that the high-density mixed-use concept was environmentally cleared. The proposed zoning amendments modify zoning classifications within the framework of land use designations established by the Ukiah 2040 General Plan and do not result in development intensities exceeding those evaluated through prior environmental review.

V. ALTERNATIVES
The following alternatives are not analyzed pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6, as this document is not an EIR. Instead, they are evaluated solely to confirm that each potential policy outcome remains within the scope of impacts previously analyzed in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR and related environmental documents, consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.

Alternative 1: No Project
Under this alternative, no amendments to the Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) or General Plan would occur. Existing zoning designations, including the application of DZC (General Urban, Urban Center, and Downtown Core) regulations along the Perkins Street corridor and adjacent areas, would remain in effect.

This alternative would maintain the existing regulatory framework and development assumptions analyzed in the 2012 DZC Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR.

Alternative 2: Proposed DZC
This alternative modifies the rezoning footprint of the Project by retaining Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) regulations on parcels located west of the Northwestern Pacific railroad tracks, while implementing the proposed rezoning east of the tracks. Specifically:
• All parcels along Perkins Street west of the railroad tracks would remain subject to DZC zoning (Urban Center and General Urban). These areas include parcels developed with both traditional downtown building forms (e.g., structures located at or near the street frontage) and parcels with existing development patterns that include deeper setbacks and on-site parking configurations. Retaining DZC zoning in these areas would continue to apply form-based development standards, including frontage, siting, and streetscape requirements consistent with the existing regulatory framework analyzed in the 2012 DZC MND.
• Parcels located east of the railroad tracks, including the East Perkins Street corridor and the rail corridor/Depot area, would be rezoned as proposed under the Project to Community Commercial (C-1), Public Facilities (PF), and Recreation (REC), consistent with the applicable General Plan land use designations.

Page 370 of 425 ends

22 This alternative does not introduce new or peculiar environmental effects. Retention of DZC zoning on western parcels maintains the previously analyzed regulatory baseline, while the rezoning of eastern parcels remains consistent with the density and land use assumptions evaluated in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR and prior environmental documents. These relationships are reflected in the comparative zoning framework described in Tables 1 through 3 above.

Finding: The alternatives described above remain within the scope of environmental impacts previously analyzed in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR and related environmental documents.

Discussion: Both alternatives remain within the range of development densities, land use designations, and regulatory frameworks evaluated through prior environmental review. The No Project Alternative retains the existing DZC regulatory framework. Alternative 2 retains DZC zoning on western parcels and applies the proposed rezoning to eastern parcels. As demonstrated in Table 1 (Zoning Realignments), Table 2 (Density Standards), and Table 3 (Land Use Allowances), the applicable zoning districts under both alternatives do not exceed previously analyzed density thresholds or introduce land uses beyond those evaluated in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR and the 2012 DZC MND.

Neither alternative introduces new physical development beyond that previously analyzed. Site conditions and applicable regulations remain unchanged. Accordingly, neither alternative results in new or peculiar environmental effects.

VI. DETERMINATION
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, the Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) Amendments and Rezoning qualify for streamlined environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 because the following findings are supported by substantial evidence in the record:

1. The project is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified.

2. There are no project-specific effects which are peculiar to the project or its site, and which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects.

3. There are no project-specific impacts which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects.

4. There are no potentially significant offsite and/or cumulative impacts that the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to evaluate.

5. There is no substantial new information that results in more severe impacts than anticipated by the Ukiah 2040 EIR.

Therefore, the City Council relies upon the EIR previously certified for the Ukiah 2040 General Plan, and further CEQA review is limited pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 and Public Resources Code Section 21083.3.

BACKGROUND
How We Got Here: Origins of the DZC
2006 City Council funds and directs preparation of a form-based code for Downtown and the East Perkins Street corridor.
2007 Community visioning completed following a five-day public design charrette, formally initiating the DZC.
2009–11 Planning Commission refines drafts through public workshops; initial draft completed January 12, 2011, followed by a joint Council–Commission workshop.
2012 Ordinance 1139 adopted October 3, 2012, applying the DZC to the Downtown and Perkins Street corridor.

DZC PC Presentation Rendering - April 2011

PERFORMANCE SINCE 2012
Fourteen Years of Outcomes
1 new stand-alone structure built
under the DZC in 14 years
Chipotle, 536 E. Perkins St., the only ground-up project.

Adaptive reuse has been similarly limited (401 S. State St., 414 E. Perkins St., 225 E. Perkins St.).
“Development has not occurred at the scale or intensity anticipated in the DZC's environmental review.”
Where the DZC succeeded: Public Investment
Streetscape Phase 1 and Phase 2
Urban Core Rehabilitation & Transportation Project
Bicycle Lanes & Infrastructure
Utility undergrounding
Coordinated street tree selection and planting
Complementary plans, like the Perkins Street Gateway Master Plan (2015), created pathways toward the envisioned pattern.

Page 376 of 425 ends

EXISTING CHALLENGES
Why the DZC Underperformed
Inconsistent design standards
No consistent standards across the district, with limited visual guidance for existing structures. What architectural style comes to mind based on Ukiah’s existing building stock? Exception-driven entitlements
Strict lot coverage and frontage rules misaligned with
irregular parcels force exceptions and discretionary review almost immediately.

Form-based code on an auto corridor
Form-based standards misapplied along an auto-oriented
corridor lacking supporting infrastructure and subdivision policies.

Dual regulatory burden
Form-based regulations layered with conditional use permits produce entitlements requiring numerous exceptions and
hearings.

Loss of redevelopment funding
Site assembly, infrastructure, and gap financing tools shifted entirely to private entities.
“It is unclear whether any project could proceed in the DZC without a minor or major exception and multiple
public hearings.”

ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
The Project vs. the Alternative

THE PROJECT (RECOMMENDED)
Rezones parcels between Main Street and the Great
Redwood Trail, treating Main Street as the eastern edge of the Downtown Core.

Main Street functions as the service edge of the Downtown Core. Frontages are mainly parking, service, and loading areas supporting State Street buildings.

THE ALTERNATIVE (ANALYZED)
Retains DZC designations on parcels between Main
Street and the Great Redwood Trail, including Mason
Street.

Unless subdivided, west-side Main Street parcels are unlikely to develop further and are projected to continue serving State Street structures.

Both remain within the scope of impacts previously analyzed Neither exceeds studied density thresholds, introduces unanalyzed land uses, nor adds new physical development. The ordinance is programmatic; site conditions and applicable regulations remain unchanged.

1. Attachment 1 - Fee Schedule for Facilities, Museum, Programs and Aquatics FY 27 Summary: City Council will conduct their annual review of the user fee schedule for the Community Services Department, including recreation programs, sports fields, parks, Municipal Pools, Ukiah Valley Conference Center, and Grace Hudson Museum; and adopt proposed changes to rental rates and user fees.

Background: The City of Ukiah Community Services Department includes Recreation, the Grace Hudson Museum, the Ukiah Valley Conference Center, parks, facilities, and various other programs. As a matter of policy, City Council reviews fees on an annual basis to ensure that the desired cost recovery, quality of service, and affordability remain at a high level. Conducting a regular review of the comprehensive fee schedule has been an important component of budget management. The annual review has assisted Staff in monitoring the growth and success of services, planning the marketing and service delivery objectives, and forecasting for each budget cycle.

Staff utilizes a variety of tools in the review and assessment of fees including the analysis of existing fees, operating costs, and service levels. The Community Services Department has also conducted fee schedule comparisons with similar facilities/programs in other agencies around the state to ensure our fees are in line with industry standards. Many facility rental fees have not increased in the past decade while utilities, maintenance and staffing costs have risen significantly.

Discussion: Community Services staff has completed a review of all user fees to ensure the desired cost recovery, quality of service, and affordability remain balanced. In response to the costs associated with maintaining and staffing facilities, Staff is requesting a few changes to the fee ranges adopted in 2025. These proposed changes include adjusting rates pertaining to the Ukiah Valley Conference Center, Ukiah Municipal Swimming Pools, entry fees and room rates for the Grace Hudson Museum, the Banner Program, and range changes to Youth Sports Program fees. Many new rental rates were adopted in 2024 for Parks and the Alex Thomas Plaza. These new rates have been in effect for less than two years, so further changes are not requested at this time for those facilities. The current and proposed fees are detailed in Attachment 1.

GRACE HUDSON MUSEUM
The Grace Hudson Museum provides art exhibits, educational programs, tours, and workshops. The current rates were adopted and implemented in FY2024-25. For FY2026-27 we request increasing general admission fees to $10 per entry, family group fees to $20 per group, and the school tour rate to $8 per student. To continue ensuring broad accessibility during a time of affordability challenges, we plan for the child, individual student, and senior rates to remain the same. For the Museum's public room, we request a rate increase for daily rentals to $325 for non-profits and $550 for private/ business events. No changes are requested for the

Wild Gardens at this time.

PARKS & RENTAL FACILITIES
The Ukiah Valley Conference Center coordinates the scheduling and uses of public rental facilities, which includes the Conference Center, parks and picnic spaces. Facility rental revenue provides funds for routine maintenance, as well as the ability to provide facility improvements and prepare for long-term capital improvement projects. Community Services staff members work diligently to keep their operating and maintenance costs low and to manage the facilities within budget guidelines. Rate changes for renting the Alex Thomas Plaza and Parks were adopted in 2025 and have been well-received. Room rates have been thoroughly reviewed by Staff and adjusted to maximize revenue based on room capacity and frequency of bookings. Rate changes for room rentals are proposed for the Ukiah Valley Conference Center and are detailed in Attachment 1.

UKIAH MUNICIPAL POOLS
The pool facility and operations are an important community asset as it provides a safe aquatic environment for recreation and instructional swim lessons. Over the years, City Council has maintained a commitment to ensure fees for service at the facility are affordable for all. The City also provides scholarships to numerous swim lesson participants, which ensures that the fee-based programs are accessible to anyone regardless of their financial status. Multiple Staff members have been certified to be a Lifeguard, CPR and First Aid trainers, which has helped reduce costs for training and increase training availability. Staff continues to explore promotional activities, the marketing of special pool programs, and specialty hours that increase usage of the pool. Range changes are proposed for Punch Pass cards, Public Swim admission, and training/aquatic programs detailed in Attachment 1.

SPORTS & RECREATION PROGRAMS
There are many programs and services provided by the Recreation Division. Staff members have successfully operated youth and adult sports leagues, instructional classes, art-based programs, fitness activities, dog training and much more. There are many formats for the structure of classes, clinics, camps, and leagues. The Recreation Division has been tremendously successful in offering specialty camps that are held during school breaks and focus on a particular sport. Recreation programs provide healthy activities and serve a need for working parents. As with all the programs, the Youth Scholarships are available to assist with financial needs so that all children can participate. Staff is requesting an increase to the range of individual and team fees for youth and adult sports to provide flexibility for future rate changes. Range increase requests are listed in Attachment 1.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES & SPORTS FIELDS
There are a variety of athletic fields in Ukiah for specific rental uses, and their users include private groups who wish to conduct tournaments. The Recreation Staff handles the scheduling of the field rentals, and the revenue helps to offset the maintenance costs. No adjustments are necessary for this category.

Note: The City has not charged Ukiah-based youth sports leagues such as baseball, football, and soccer for the use of athletic fields. It would be cost prohibitive to the youth programs to pay a facility usage fee. Staff continues looking for new ways to increase revenue to offset the ongoing maintenance costs.

An analysis of the current fee range was conducted in coordination with the Finance Department to ensure budget goals are met given rising costs of staffing and supplies. Staff recommends Council conduct a review of the fee schedule for Community Services, including recreation programs, sports fields, parks, Municipal Pools, Ukiah Valley Conference Center, and the Grace Hudson Museum; and adopt the proposed changes to rental rates and user fees. This Public Hearing was noticed in the Ukiah Daily Journal on June 19, 24, and 30.

Recommended Action: Conduct a review of the fee schedule for Community Services, including recreation programs, sports fields, parks, Municipal Pools, Ukiah Valley Conference Center, and the Grace Hudson Museum; and adopt proposed changes to rental rates and user fees.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Electric Utility's Ten-Year Energy Efficiency Targets and Approve the Updated Public Benefits Programs and Rebates.

6. Presentation Given
Summary: Council will consider adopting a resolution approving the Electric Utility's Energy Efficiency Forecast for 2026-2035 and consider approving the proposed 2026 updates to the Public Benefit Programs and revised rebates.

Background: California Senate Bill 1037, signed into law in September 2005, established several important policies on energy efficiency. Among the many provisions of the law is a state-wide commitment to costeffective and feasible energy efficiency, with the expectation that all utilities consider energy efficiency before investing in other resources to meet growing demand.

Assembly Bill 2021, introduced in 2006, added to these policies by requiring the establishment of 10-year energy efficiency targets. This is a statutory requirement in Public Utilities Code 9505(b) on a quadrennial basis (i.e. updated 10-year energy efficiency forecasts to be developed every 4 years). On February 6, 2013, the City's energy efficiency program targets were established as follows: Energy Savings Potential (MWh) = 4,167; Demand Reduction Potential (Kw) = 1,055.

Ukiah Electric Utility administers the Public Benefit (PB) Program established under California State Assembly Bill 1890 (AB1890) in 1996. The legislation mandates that electric utilities implement programs benefiting customers in four key areas: Low-Income Assistance, Energy Conservation, Renewable Energy, and Research, Development & Demonstration projects. AB1890 also requires that 2.85% of gross electric energy sales be allocated to these programs. To ensure optimal use of the available funds, the Electric Utility collaborates closely with its program administrator, Efficiency Services Group (ESG), in designing, implementing, and managing energy efficiency and renewable energy programs for customers.

Discussion: To achieve energy efficiency savings, the City has offered a variety of energy efficiency programs. These programs have been focused on community needs for energy efficiency and primarily focused on broad areas of lighting, appliances, weatherization and heat pumps. A detailed list of rebates, with suggested changes for Ukiah Electric customers is provided for the Council's review (Attachment 1). Following Council's review and the finalization of this list, it will be provided in both English and Spanish on the City's website.

The Energy Efficiency Programs and Services provide several important benefits to the City of Ukiah Electric and its ratepayers. Energy efficiency measures and projects reduce GHG emissions associated with electricity generation, save ratepayers on electricity costs, reduce stress on California's grid during peak demands and make room for additional loads such as electric vehicle charging. The Utility regularly reviews these programs to ensure they provide meaningful opportunities for customers to reduce energy usage through rebates and other initiatives.

In 2025, these programs resulted in 117,958 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy savings, an increase from 2024’s 103,086 kWh. This improvement is largely due to the Direct-Install Program, which was approved by the Council in October 2024. The Residential Direct-Install Program provided immediate energy-saving measures and identified additional opportunities for efficiency for City of Ukiah customers. Historically, this program focused on low-income customers. However, the program was opened to all income levels on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Commercial DIY Lighting Program helped business customers upgrade inefficient lighting by providing LED fixtures at no cost. Customers were responsible for the installation whether they performed themselves or hired an electrician.

Effective January 1, 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy implemented updated minimum energy efficiency standards and testing procedures for certain HVAC equipment, including residential and commercial air conditioners and heat pumps. The changes introduced new efficiency metrics (SEER2, EER2, and HSPF2) that better reflect real-world operating conditions and establish higher minimum efficiency requirements, despite lower numerical ratings. These federal changes require that publicly owned utilities ensure all newly purchased or installed equipment that is eligible for incentive programs comply with the updated standards.

While the changes may result in modestly higher upfront equipment costs, they support long-term energy savings, reduced system demand, and continued regulatory compliance. It's important to note that these changes make it difficult to meet the efficiency targets; a significantly larger number of projects are needed to achieve the targets. The annual and 10-year targets are included as Attachment 2. Staff will continue to promote the programs and rebates that provide the efficiencies to meet the targets.

The Low-Income Billing Assistance Program offers two options: the Senior Citizen Monthly Discount and the Non-Senior Household Monthly Discount, both designed to help low-income customers manage their electric bills. The City's discount is a fixed amount, based on income level. Council approved a discount increase of 25% for eligible customers in October 2024, which helps those most affected by the higher electricity rates (see Attachment 3). Customers can also apply for state funding, but it cannot be used simultaneously with these discounts. Ukiah dedicates over 40% of its Public Benefits budget to low-income assistance, a significantly higher proportion than other utilities.

The Utility implemented another phase of the Residential Direct Install Program and the Commercial DIY Lighting Program. These programs not only help customers reduce their energy bills but also support the Utility's broader goals for energy efficiency and decarbonization. They contribute to efforts to restore a safe climate by incentivizing energy-efficient upgrades in both residential and commercial properties. The combined savings from the Commercial DIY and Residential DI Programs delivered the greatest percentage of savings in FY25, accounting for 77% of the total annual kWh savings.

Research and Development (R&D) provides opportunities to use funding to explore projects that provide additional energy savings and efficiencies for Ukiah customers. The Shallow Percolation for Reservoir Injection and Thermal Enhancement (SPRITE) project at the Geothermal Plant provides such an opportunity. The project is estimated to to increase the capacity of the Geothermal by 10-15MW. Year one of the project is deemed R&D and will therefore be funded through the Public Benefits Fund.

All programs are offered as budget allows and may be adjusted based on funding availability. Currently, there is $150,000 budgeted for energy efficiency programs and rebates and $336,870 for Ukiah's portion of the SPRITE project. Upon Council approval, the Utility will move forward with implementing these initiatives.

MEETING DATE/TIME: 7/1/2026

ITEM NO: 2026-1160

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Receive Updates on City Council Committee and Ad Hoc Assignments, and, if Necessary, Consider Modifications to Assignments and/or the Creation/Elimination of Ad Hoc(s).

DEPARTMENT: City Clerk PREPARED BY: Kristine Lawler, City Clerk PRESENTER: Mayor Sher and Various Councilmembers
ATTACHMENTS:

1. 2026 City Council Special Assignments & Ad Hocs
Summary: City Council members will provide reports and updates on their committee and ad hoc assignments. If necessary, the Council may consider modifications.

Background: City Council members are assigned to a number of committees and ad hoc activities. These assignments are included as Attachment 1.

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.

Recommended Action: Receive report(s). The Council will consider modifications to committee and ad hoc assignments along with the creation/elimination ad hoc(s).

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.
