My parents are not the type to work less to get stuff for free and they raised me better than that too. I know that Ivy Leagues give enough financial aid so that families earning less that $160,000 a year pay no more than 10% of their incomes for an education, but even they only give free rides to those making less than $40,000 a year. The $70,000 a year seems a little high. --["Users/hankim"]

FINAL + + + {{{ + Wiki Editors notes: Following has not been formatted yet + }}} + + 3 + + Section 29-12.4.2. A. Purpose. + + Purpose and Findings: + + The purpose of this Article is to establish a mechanism for direct citizen participation in land use decisions affecting City policies for compact urban form, agricultural land preservation and an adequate housing supply to meet internal City needs, by providing the people of the City of Davis the right to vote, without having to evoke referenda, on general plan land use map amendments that would convert any agricultural, open space, or urban reserve lands, as designated on the Land Use Map of the City of Davis General Plan, dated August 1, 1999, to an urban or urban reserve land use designation and on any development proposal on the Covell Center or Nishi properties. The purpose of this Article is to ensure that the purposes and principles set forth in the City of Davis General Plan relating to voter approval, land use, affordable housing, open space, agricultural preservation and conservation are fully considered by establishing an expanded land use entitlement process for proposed conversion of properties to urban use that are designated or in agricultural or open space use. This action recognizes that continued conversion of agricultural lands to meet urban needs is neither inevitable nor necessary, and that any land use decision affecting such properties shall be subject to a public vote. B. Findings. + + The City Council and the voters of the City hereby incorporate all of the recitals set forth above and, in addition, find that: 1. The protection of existing agricultural and open space lands, natural habitats and reserves surrounding the City of Davis, and within the Davis Planning Area, is of critical importance to the present and future residents of the City of Davis. Agriculture has been and remains a major contributor to local and regional economy directly and indirectly creating employment for many people, and providing valuable food crops distributed worldwide. 2. Continued urban encroachment into agricultural and open space lands, natural habitats and reserves impairs agriculture and threatens the public health, safety, and welfare by causing increased traffic congestion, associated air pollution, and potential adverse impacts to the quantity and quality of available water resources. Continued urban encroachment into agricultural lands also requires significant new public infrastructure and facilities and places additional stresses on existing public infrastructure and facilities. 3. The unique character of the City of Davis and the quality of life enjoyed by City residents depend on the protection of agricultural, open space lands, and natural habitats and reserves on its periphery. The protection of such lands aids the continued viability of agriculture, defines urban/rural boundary, and brings mental and physical benefits from the broad vistas at the urban edge onto open space and agricultural lands. It also contributes to the protection of wildlife including rare, endangered, or threatened species, environmentally sensitive areas, and irreplaceable natural resources. + + Dav/Ag.InitiativeOrd. FINAL + + 4 + + 4. The General Plan contains policies for compact urban form, and protection of agricultural lands from urban development including a policy that prohibits new urban development on open space and agricultural lands. The General Plan further calls for the use of all available mechanisms to preserve open space and agricultural lands and provides for the implementation of growth management systems. 5. The City has actively promoted both the preservation of agricultural lands and habitat and the availability of affordable housing within the City through the existing policies in the City’s General Plan and the City’s implementing activities, including but not limited to the Right to Farm Ordinance, the City’s acquisition of open space, agricultural lands and habitat, the City’s participation in the Agricultural Lands Stewardship Program, the City’s Affordable Housing Ordinance, the Redevelopment Plan and the Redevelopment Pass-through Agreement and other city programs and policies designed to promote agricultural preservation and/or affordable housing. 6. This Citizens' Right to Vote on Future Use of Open Space and Agricultural Lands Ordinance implements the General Plan and is consistent with the City’s adopted General Plan and furthers and implements the policies of the General Plan. The City finds that this Ordinance will provide for a balance between the preservation of agricultural lands and open space and the housing needs of the City. Section 29-12.4.3. Voter Approval. + + A. Voter Approval of Changes to Land Use Designations on the Land Use Map from Agricultural or Urban Reserve to Urban land use designations or from Agricultural to Urban Reserve land use designations. (1) Each and every proposed amendment or modification of the Land Use Map to modify the land use designation of lands designated for agricultural, open space or urban reserve use on the Land Use Map to an urban or urban reserve designation is a significant change that affects the City and its ability to maintain its vision for a compact urban form surrounded by farmlands and open space. Any such proposal, therefore, requires public participation in the decision, including, but not limited to, voter approval of the proposed amendment or modification of the Land Use Map. (2) Any application for an amendment or modification of the Land Use Map that proposes changing the Land Use Map land use designation for any property from an agricultural, open space, or urban reserve land use designation (e.g. agricultural, open space, agricultural reserve, urban reserve, environmentally sensitive habitat, Davis Greenbelt) to an urban land use designation or from an agricultural designation to an urban reserve designation shall require: (a) Establishment of baseline project features and requirements such as recreation facilities, public facilities, significant project design features, sequencing or phasing, or similar features and requirements as shown on project exhibits and plans submitted for voter approval, which cannot be eliminated, significantly modified or reduced without subsequent voter approval. + Dav/Ag.InitiativeOrd.

FINAL - - - {{{ - Wiki Editors notes: Following has not been formatted yet - }}} - - 3 - - Section 29-12.4.2. A. Purpose. - - Purpose and Findings: - - The purpose of this Article is to establish a mechanism for direct citizen participation in land use decisions affecting City policies for compact urban form, agricultural land preservation and an adequate housing supply to meet internal City needs, by providing the people of the City of Davis the right to vote, without having to evoke referenda, on general plan land use map amendments that would convert any agricultural, open space, or urban reserve lands, as designated on the Land Use Map of the City of Davis General Plan, dated August 1, 1999, to an urban or urban reserve land use designation and on any development proposal on the Covell Center or Nishi properties. The purpose of this Article is to ensure that the purposes and principles set forth in the City of Davis General Plan relating to voter approval, land use, affordable housing, open space, agricultural preservation and conservation are fully considered by establishing an expanded land use entitlement process for proposed conversion of properties to urban use that are designated or in agricultural or open space use. This action recognizes that continued conversion of agricultural lands to meet urban needs is neither inevitable nor necessary, and that any land use decision affecting such properties shall be subject to a public vote. B. Findings. - - The City Council and the voters of the City hereby incorporate all of the recitals set forth above and, in addition, find that: 1. The protection of existing agricultural and open space lands, natural habitats and reserves surrounding the City of Davis, and within the Davis Planning Area, is of critical importance to the present and future residents of the City of Davis. Agriculture has been and remains a major contributor to local and regional economy directly and indirectly creating employment for many people, and providing valuable food crops distributed worldwide. 2. Continued urban encroachment into agricultural and open space lands, natural habitats and reserves impairs agriculture and threatens the public health, safety, and welfare by causing increased traffic congestion, associated air pollution, and potential adverse impacts to the quantity and quality of available water resources. Continued urban encroachment into agricultural lands also requires significant new public infrastructure and facilities and places additional stresses on existing public infrastructure and facilities. 3. The unique character of the City of Davis and the quality of life enjoyed by City residents depend on the protection of agricultural, open space lands, and natural habitats and reserves on its periphery. The protection of such lands aids the continued viability of agriculture, defines urban/rural boundary, and brings mental and physical benefits from the broad vistas at the urban edge onto open space and agricultural lands. It also contributes to the protection of wildlife including rare, endangered, or threatened species, environmentally sensitive areas, and irreplaceable natural resources. - - Dav/Ag.InitiativeOrd. FINAL - - 4 - - 4. The General Plan contains policies for compact urban form, and protection of agricultural lands from urban development including a policy that prohibits new urban development on open space and agricultural lands. The General Plan further calls for the use of all available mechanisms to preserve open space and agricultural lands and provides for the implementation of growth management systems. 5. The City has actively promoted both the preservation of agricultural lands and habitat and the availability of affordable housing within the City through the existing policies in the City’s General Plan and the City’s implementing activities, including but not limited to the Right to Farm Ordinance, the City’s acquisition of open space, agricultural lands and habitat, the City’s participation in the Agricultural Lands Stewardship Program, the City’s Affordable Housing Ordinance, the Redevelopment Plan and the Redevelopment Pass-through Agreement and other city programs and policies designed to promote agricultural preservation and/or affordable housing. 6. This Citizens' Right to Vote on Future Use of Open Space and Agricultural Lands Ordinance implements the General Plan and is consistent with the City’s adopted General Plan and furthers and implements the policies of the General Plan. The City finds that this Ordinance will provide for a balance between the preservation of agricultural lands and open space and the housing needs of the City. Section 29-12.4.3. Voter Approval. - - A. Voter Approval of Changes to Land Use Designations on the Land Use Map from Agricultural or Urban Reserve to Urban land use designations or from Agricultural to Urban Reserve land use designations. (1) Each and every proposed amendment or modification of the Land Use Map to modify the land use designation of lands designated for agricultural, open space or urban reserve use on the Land Use Map to an urban or urban reserve designation is a significant change that affects the City and its ability to maintain its vision for a compact urban form surrounded by farmlands and open space. Any such proposal, therefore, requires public participation in the decision, including, but not limited to, voter approval of the proposed amendment or modification of the Land Use Map.

FINAL - - 5 - - (b) Approval by the City Council, after compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the State Planning and Zoning laws and any other applicable laws or regulations, and then (c) Approval by an affirmative majority vote of the voters of the City of Davis voting on the proposal. The land use designation amendment or modification shall become effective only after approval by the City Council and the voters. The City shall not submit any application to the voters if the application has not first been approved by the City Council, unless otherwise required by law. (3) If, after compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and any other applicable laws, the City Council modifies or amends the land use designation for any property from an urban land use designation to an agricultural, open space, or urban reserve land use designation, the land use designation of that property shall not be amended or modified from the agricultural, open space, or urban reserve designation to an urban land use designation without first complying with this Article, including but not limited to the voter approval requirements set forth in subsection A(2), above.

Key considerations for requiring voter approval prior to development on these two properties are impacts on already overburdened public facilities and infrastructure, long-term preservation of adjoining agricultural lands, preservation of viewsheds and valuable habitat areas, and to ensure that the city maintains a compact and efficient urban form as mandated by General Plan policies. Accordingly, any land use decision that directly affects one or both of these properties, or any portions thereof, including any Legislative Action, Subdivision Map Application, Site Plan Review, or Planned Development Application, requires full public participation, including an affirmative vote of the people on any City Council action to approve such a request. Specific properties included under these provisions are: (a) The property known as Covell Center, or any portion of said property, bordered by Covell Boulevard on the south, the Hunt property and County Road 101A on the west, County Road 102/Pole Line Road on the east, and the southern edge of the city owned property and extending to F Street on the north as shown on the Land Use Map (Exhibit A).

'''Snakes''' are part of the natural ["town wildlife"] and are part of the ecosystem of Davis and it's ["outskirts"]. The Davis environment straddles the general path of Putah Creek, an important corridor between the Coast Range of Northern California and the Sacramento Delta. The riparian habitats along the creek, the wetlands of the Delta and the interspersed grasslands combine to provide a variety of habitats for several snake species. Interesting variations in color patterns of both Kingsnakes and Gopher Snakes occur in our area. There is one rare snake species found in the wetlands east of Davis.

The usual blotches are diffused into a striped pattern.	+ + Gopher Snakes (''Pituophis catenifer'') are a our most common species of snake in the Davis area. Our local subspecies is the Pacific Gopher Snake (Pituophis catenifer catenifer"). They are a resilient species, and still survive in some of the few remaining vacant lots and more wild open space areas in the city limits and on the UC Davis campus. They remain numerous in the agricultural areas of Yolo County and along Putah Creek. The typical patter is a series of dark blotches on a tan background. An uncommon striped phase occurs in our area. The usual blotches are diffused into a striped pattern. + + A snake's skin does not grow in the same way our skin grows. When they have become too big for their skin, they will shed their old skin, after having produced a new larger body covering. Prior to shedding, the scales become opaque. This is especially noticeable in the scale covering their eyes. Thus a cloudy eye is a signal that that snake is about to shed it's skin. + + Gopher Snakes superficially resemble rattlesnakes and will mimic rattlesnake behavior, presumably to ward off would be predators. They will raise their head, draw it back and widen the jaw area in a surprisingly accurate impression of a rattlesnake head. To complete the deception they will hiss audibly and rapidly shake the tip of their tail, sometime on the ground or in dry leaves, creating a sound that could be interpreted as a rattle. Despite all the drama, gopher snakes are harmless and provide an important function in our ecosystem. They should be both respected and protected.

	+ ------ + ''2009-11-20 17:43:01'' [[nbsp]] FIVE STARS! :) When my family moved to Davis, we were really shocked to find out what it was like to live in a small town. Coming from the Bay Area, to shop in a place where employees will go WAY out of their way to help me was, well....downright confusing! Yes, it is a bit odd an inconvenient to have the place split between three buildings, but that's the trade off if you want small town service with big town inventory! The household items are wonderful....this is THE place to get something for that kitchen aficionado, or a unique wedding gift. In hardware, there are knowledgeable people in MANY aspects of home repair, and if they don't know, they'll find someone who does! They carry items unique to Davis. I have a furnace circa 1973 and they are the ONLY place to carry filters for it. My husband looked for them at Lowes and HOme Depot and you can't even order them. But Ace keeps them in stock. Why? Because there were a lot of furnaces with that size put into Davis homes. + I do worry about the new Target hurting these guys. I truly hope it doesn't. I think if ACE keeps doing what ACE does well, they'll be in business for many years to come! --["Users/toriac"]

The owner is an example of what a business owner in a town like Davis SHOULD be. He is personable, knows most of his regulars and often supports various community organizations. Five stars! --["Users/toriac"]

I was so excited the first couple of times I was there--there was table service and the wait people were attentive. On a weekend afternoon, however, we went there with some out of town guests. To our dismay, there was no table service--we had to get in line and order at the bar. Unfortunately, we were behind a large group of young women (with matching purple shirts and pig tails!) who each proceeded to order separately and painstakingly slowly. We LITERALLY spent 25 minutes in LINE. When the food came out, the service was disorganized and slugish. No one was bussing tables--diners came in and moved dirty dishes off of the tables themselves. + When they have table service, this place shines! Five stars!!! + When they go the typical Davis route of counter service, thumbs down! --["Users/toriac"]
