Major Site Development Permit, Major Use Permit, and Lot Merger for the Conversion of an Existing Building into an ‘Urgent Care and Administration Office’

The project at 1240 Airport Park Boulevard in Ukiah, California, involves the adaptive reuse of an existing 7,129-square-foot building and the addition of a 6,958-square-foot mezzanine to create a combined Urgent Care Clinic and Administrative Office facility for Mendocino Community Health Clinics. The ground floor, measuring 7,186 square feet, will be configured as an urgent care clinic with seven exam rooms, imaging services, and support areas, while the mezzanine will house administrative functions, resulting in a total building area of 14,144 square feet. Two adjacent parcels will be merged into a single 1.16-acre lot within the Airport Industrial Park Planned Development zoning district, which also falls under Airport Compatibility Zones 5 and 6. Site improvements include 48 parking spaces—requesting a reduction from the standard 64-space requirement—along with designated patient loading zones, enhanced pedestrian access, screened mechanical equipment, and a full solar panel system to offset energy use. The project qualifies for a CEQA categorical exemption under Section 15301(a) due to its nature as a minor alteration of an existing structure with no increase in height, mass, or environmental impact. A conditioned aviation easement is required to mitigate potential noise and glare impacts related to proximity to the Ukiah Municipal Airport, ensuring compliance with the local Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. The City of Ukiah acts as the lead agency responsible for permitting and oversight, with no federal procurement structure or FAR clauses applicable to this municipal land use and development approval. All project activities are governed by local zoning ordinances, building codes, and environmental review requirements under California law, with no federal funding, contract pricing, or acquisition terms identified in the documentation.
