At a meeting next week, the city of Ukiah's Zoning Administrator will consider a request to operate an ambulance service in the 900 block of North State Street.
According to the report prepared by city staff for the June 27 meeting, Medstar/Ukiah Ambulance has applied for a "Minor Use Permit for ambulance services within two existing buildings at 960 N. State St."
Staff describe the site as "developed with an existing parking lot containing 10 identified parking spaces and two buildings: an approximately 778 square-foot building in the rear of the parcel; and an approximately 2,304 square-foot building located on the front of the parcel."
The smaller building is described as "historically being used as a residence," while the large building "has been historically utilized for several commercial businesses."
Staff further explain that the applicant seeks to locate "administrative offices within the existing building located on the front of the parcel, (as well as) an ambulance station within the existing building on the rear of the parcel."
The ambulance station is described as being "staffed with one ambulance and two crew members," and the ambulance "would be a nonemergency Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance and would not be responding to emergency calls. However, the applicant notes that response to emergency calls may be dispatched from this location if operational needs change in the future. Lights and sirens for emergency-related calls would not be deployed until the ambulance reaches State Street to reduce potential noise nuisances to adjacent properties."
The city's Zoning Administrator, a role typically filled by Community Development Director Craig Schlatter, will hold a public hearing to consider the application that is scheduled for Tuesday, June 27 at 10 a.m. Interested parties can attend in person at Conference Room 3 of the Ukiah Civic Center at 300 Seminary Ave., or on Zoom via this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81049190534
