Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
Acceptance of Feasibility Study for the PHF Project on January 25, 2022. Approval of Agreement with Coleman Construction for the Demolition of the former skilled nursing facility on June 20, 2023.
Summary of Request:
On January 25, 2022, the Board of Supervisors accepted the feasibility study report for the Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF) and the recommendation that the most cost-effective option was to demolish the former skilled nursing facility at the property that was formerly addressed as 131 Whitmore Lane and construct the new PHF on that site and directed staff to proceed with that option.
The former owner of the PHF parcel applied for and obtained a use permit from the County in 2020 to recommence operation of the skilled nursing facility. One of the conditions of the use permit was the recordation of an avigation easement against the property, which was not done prior to the County’s acquisition of the property later in 2020. To comply with this requirement of the use permit, staff have prepared an avigation easement, in the form attached to this agenda item. Pursuant to Government Code Section 25526.6, the Board may grant interests in real property to other public entities upon a finding that the conveyance is in the public interest and the interest conveyed will not substantially conflict or interfere with the use of the property by the County. In this instance, recordation of an avigation easement in favor of the City of Ukiah was required pursuant to the Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan, which easement includes but is not limited to the right of the public to fly over the parcel, including the creation of any related noise, vibrations or currents, and the right to keep the airspace clear of obstructions. The provisions of the easement will have no impact on the operation of the PHF.
Reconstruction of the PHF on the subject parcel is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15302, which exempts the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. The PHF will be a smaller building than the former skilled nursing facility building and will have the same Congregate Care land use.
Additional information regarding the review of the site and the PHF Project by the Department of Planning and Building Services is provided in the attached memorandum.
Approval of plans and specifications by the Board of Supervisors is required pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22039. In addition, adoption of plans by the Board is one part of establishing design immunity from claims for certain injuries pursuant to Government Code Section 830.6. Copies of the plans and specifications are on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not make the findings or approve the actions and provide alternate direction to staff.
