Summary of Request

The request is to change the zoning of a single parcel in the "forks" area north of Ukiah from Agricultural (AG) to Limited Commercial (C-1).  The parcel is currently the site of the Happiness Is mobile home park, which has been in operation for more than 40 years and is an established legal, non-conforming use in the AG zone.  The rezone will also make the parcel consistent with the General Plan classification of Mixed-Use North State (MUNS), which was adopted with the Ukiah Valley Area Plan (UVAP) in 2011.

 

A mobile home park is an allowed use in a C-1 zone with a use permit and changing the zoning will also allow the use of an existing commercial structure to resume without having to obtain a use permit.  The structure, which was most recently used as a bar, closed during the COVID pandemic and subsequently lost its legal, non-conforming entitlement.  Under the current AG zone, a new commercial use cannot be permitted on the site.  No change to the mobile home park is proposed or expected as a result of this rezone. 

 

The Planning Commission reviewed the project at their July 20, 2023, meeting.  No public comment was received for the project during or prior to the meeting and staff recommended approval of the project, so the action of the Commission was to recommend approval of the project to the Board of Supervisors by a 3-0 vote.  The Department recommends approval of the application to bring the parcel into consistency with both the existing land use and the existing general plan classification.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

The Board denies the proposed rezone and leaves the existing AG zone in place.
