Reference Books: Local plans & EIRs

Even if you are not interested in the subject, you can learn a lot about where you live
by looking at local environmental impact reviews and plans.

There are two recent publications:

Notice of preparation of a draft environmental impact report & notice of public scoping meeting & public review period, a Proposal to Construct the New Ukiah Courthouse for the Superior Court of Mendocino County. Currently they are considering two sites. The First is the "Library Site" bordered by Perkins St., Main St, Mason St and behind the properties front Smith St. The second under consideration is the "Railroad Depot Site" 309 Perkins St. It is interesting to note because the AOC, Administrative Office of the Courts, local government land use planning and zoning regulations would not apply to proposed courthouse project. I would never have known that without reading this.

Draft Ukiah Valley Area Plan Filled with great pictures, maps, graphs and local information.
This plan gives the reader the proposed changes in land use and discusses community development, population, housing, circulation and transportation, water management, energy and air quality, health and safety, open space and conservation, historical and archaeological preservation and parks and recreation. This is the plan for our community.

Both of these are Reference Books so they do not check out, but may be read at the Ukiah Library.
