Demolition Permit for Two Structures Over 50 Yrs Old

The project involves the demolition of two historic buildings at 101 and 105 South Main Street in Ukiah, California, with no subsequent redevelopment planned. The action is governed by an addendum to a previously approved Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH No. 2022030389), which addresses environmental impacts, primarily concerning the loss of a locally designated historic resource at 101 South Main Street. The addendum refines the cultural resource mitigation program by revising Mitigation Measure CUL-2 and introducing CUL-3 to enhance clarity, timing, and enforceability. These measures require comprehensive photographic documentation of the structure prior to demolition, salvage and reuse or replacement of at least 850 square feet of pressed metal siding from the west and north elevations, and the installation of a public-facing mural and interpretive signage that reflect the site's historical role in agricultural commerce. All environmental impacts, especially those related to historic resources, are expected to remain mitigated to a less-than-significant level, and no new or increased environmental effects are anticipated as a result of the addendum. The project must comply with local, state, and regional regulations, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Mendocino County Air Quality Management District rules on fugitive dust control and asbestos abatement, and applicable California building codes. All demolition activities are limited to site clearance using heavy equipment over approximately a three-week period, with strict dust suppression and air quality protocols enforced. Long-term stewardship is required through a legally binding 20-year maintenance agreement for the mural and signage, including annual inspections, restoration obligations, and prior consultation with the original artist or estate before any modifications. The property owner must establish a private maintenance cost reserve and provide a signed letter confirming funding, with no financial responsibility transferred to the City. Final acceptance is contingent upon approval from the City of Ukiah Community Development Department, including submission of a Final Inspection and Cost Certification, and compliance with design review standards. No federal contracting clauses, pricing structures, or procurement evaluation factors are applicable, as this is a municipal land-use and environmental compliance action under CEQA rather than a federal procurement contract.
