Fifteen Testify On Downtown Ukiah Rezoning Plan
About fifteen residents testified at a Wednesday night Ukiah city planning commission hearing on rezoning 32 blocks downtown from R-2 to R-1 and R-3 to R-2, with supporters citing preservation of single family homes and Victorians. Opponent attorney Don Hinkle argued higher development potential under current plans. The commission paused the matter to Sept 14 and reviewed other items including a 40 unit proposal at 148 Gibson Street, a bottling plant at Vichy Springs Road, and an urban berm proposal for Redwood Health Club facing freeway proximity. The panel discussed brick theme standards for downtown and a five year capital improvements program, with an informal Sept 22 dinner to discuss the state Urban Development Strategy report.

Senate tax relief faces uphill Senate vote
Sacramento Republicans said the 4.4 billion property tax relief plan is highly unlikely to pass the Senate. They claimed all 14 Republicans in the 40 member chamber would vote no, with some Democrats also indicating opposition. The stalled conference actions on the tax bill and a 3.9 billion school finance measure fuel uncertainty as lawmakers seek more information. It requires 27 votes for passage.
