Description
City of Arcata Live Stream
A
All
right
good
evening
folks,
and
thank
you
for
viewing
the
July
19th
meeting
of
the
Arcata
city
council.
The
city
council
meeting,
is
being
held
as
a
hybrid
meeting,
with
both
in-person
attendance
and
teleconference
access
via
Zoom.
Our
first
item
this
evening
is
a
land
acknowledgment.
The
city
of
Arcata
acknowledges
that
the
lands
we
are
located
on
are
the
unseated
ancestral
lands
of
the
wiat
tribe.
The
land
that
Arcata
rests
on
is
known
in
the
wiat
language
as
gudini,
meaning
over
in
the
Redwoods
or
among
the
Redwoods.
A
Past
actions
by
local
state
and
federal
governments
have
removed
the
we
ought
and
other
indigenous
people
from
their
land
and
threatened
to
destroy
their
cultural
practices.
The
city
of
Arcata
acknowledges
the
weak
Community
their
Elders,
both
past
and
present,
as
well
as
future
Generations.
This
acknowledgment
seeks
to
Aid
in
dismantling
the
Legacy
narratives
of
subtler
colonialism.
If
you'd
like
to
join
us,
please
stand
for
the
flag,
salute.
A
So
this
is
a
reminder
if
you
wish
to
make
comment
during
the
meeting,
either

the
two
open
public
comment
periods
or

an
individual

item.
There
are
three
ways
to

so.
If
you're

in

please

behind
the
podium.

We'll
start
our
evening
with
our
two
ceremonial
matters.
Tonight
we
have
a
proclamation
recognizing
July
2023
as
Parks
and
Recreation
month,
and
vice
mayor
Matthews
will
read
this
Proclamation
all.
C
Right
my
favorite
month,
the
city
of
Arcata
has
Proclamation
recognizing
July
2023
as
Parks
and
Recreation
month,
whereas
Parks
and
Recreation
makes
lives
and
communities
better
now
and
in
the
future,
and
whereas
it
is
established
through
Statewide
Public
Opinion
research
that
98
of
California
households
visit
a
local
park.
At
least
once
a
year.
Two
in
three
households
visit
a
park
once
a
month.
C
Now,
therefore
be
a
complete
proclaimed
that
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Arcata
hereby
recognizes
July
2023
as
Parks
and
Recreation
month.
The
council
reminds
the
community
that
Parks
make
life
better
and
urges
all
its
residents
to
enjoy
parks
and
recreation's
benefits
of
enriching
our
lives
and
the
experience
of
our
visitors,
while
adding
value
to
our
homes
and
neighborhoods
dated
July
19
2023
signed
by
Sarah,
Schaefer
mayor
and
accepting
this
is
Sheldon
Heath.
Our
committee
chair.
A
Thank
you,
okay.
A
Our
next
Proclamation
is
a
proclamation
in
support
of
the
protection
of
the
Southern
resident
orcas
and
their
ecosystem,
and
today
we
have
Isabel
sharak,
Cal,
Poly
student
and
also
a
member
of
the
legal
rights
for
the
south
sea
here
to
accept
it
so
Proclamation
and
support
of
the
protection
of
Southern
resident
orcas
and
their
ecosystem,
whereas
the
southern
resident
orcas
are
culturally,
spiritually
and
economically
important
to
the
people
of
the
Pacific
Northwest
and
the
world,
and
whereas,
despite
legal
protections
for
nearly
two
decades,
the
population
continues
to
decline
and
is
critically
endangered
with
approximately
75
individuals
left
in
the
wild
and
whereas
the
Orca
survival
is
dependent
on
healthy
and
functioning
ecosystems,
their
diet
composed
exclusively
of
fish
and
whereas
over
20
countries,
dozens
of
local
communities
in
the
United
States
and
several
tribal
governments
have
recognized
that
nature
has
inherent
rights
and
that
Human
Society
has
the
responsibility
to
protect
and
Steward
nature
in
a
matter
that
is
consistent
with
our
interconnected
relationships
and
whereas
the
rights
of
Southern
resident
orcas
include
but
are
not
limited
to
the
right
to
life.
A
Autonomy,
free
and
safe
passage,
adequate
food
supply
from
naturally
occurring
sources
and
historic,
foraging
areas
and
freedom
from
conditions
causing
physical,
emotional
or
mental
harm,
including
a
habitat,
degraded
by
noise
pollution
and
contamination.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
proclaimed
that
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Arcata
supports
actions
by
local
state,
federal
and
tribal
governments,
the
secure
and
effectuate
the
rights
of
Southern
resident
orcas
and
of
their
ecosystem,
upon
which
they
depend,
dated
July,
19,
2023
and
signed
by
myself,
so
Isabel.
If
you're
here
I
can
come
get.
D
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
all
of
you
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
to
speak
in
support
of
my
Proclamation
My
Name
is
Izzy
I'm
an
intern
for
Northwest
Animal,
Rights,
Network
and
I'm.
Also
a
member
of
legal
rights
for
the
salishi,
who
is
founded
by
former
Arcata
member
Dr
Chris
Kevorkian
I'm.
Also,
a
junior
at
Cal
Poly,
humble
I,
major
in
Wildlife,
ecology
and
conservation.
D
D
Today
we
stand
at
a
Tipping
Point
and
you
guys
can
help
tip
the
skills
in
favor
of
preservation
over
decimation.
This
species,
composed
of
Highly
perceptive
individuals
who
are
Adept
at
problem,
solving
and
display
complex
emotional
relationships,
is
critically
endangered,
with
only
75
individuals
remaining
in
the
wild
to
make
the
situation
more
dire.
The
Chinook
salmon
that
they
rely
on
for
food
are
also
endangered,
mainly
due
to
overfishing,
dams
all
along
their
home
rivers
and
pollution.
D
D
D
A
Okay,
that
takes
us
to
our
next
item
on
our
agenda
tonight,
which
is
a
report
by
commission
or
committee,
and
so
this
evening
we
have
our
annual
report
from
The,
Parks
and
Recreation
committee.
E
Thank
you
so
much
once
again,
my
name
is
Sheldon
Heath
and
I
am
a
Parks
and
Rec
Committee
Member
the
Proclamation
was
wonderful.
Thank
you
so
much.
It
really
summed
up
a
lot
of
what
I
was
going
to
say
here
tonight,
so
I'm
going
to
make
this
very
quick.
E
This
is
my
13th
or
maybe
14th
report
that
I've
seen
as
a
Committee,
Member
and
I'd
just
like
to
take
a
moment
to
give
thanks
and
recognize
the
massive
amount
of
work
and
organization
that
goes
into
putting
this
document
together.
I
hope
and
I'm
sure
the
council
realizes
how
lucky
we
are
to
have
this
group
of
talented
and
hard-working
staff
to
help
create
a
community
with
our
people,
our
parks
and
our
programs.
Thank
you.
So
much
staff
so
quickly.
I,
just
like
to
highlight
some
things
in
this
report.
E
Like
what
was
already
said,
the
reopening
of
recreational
programming
has
gone
very
well.
The
recreation
department
has
exceeded
pre-pandemic
programming
opportunities
for
our
community.
This
includes
pop-up
programming
and
Valley
West,
such
as
the
circus
at
Carlson
Park,
a
horse
basketball
tournament
in
Valley,
West
Park
and,
as
I
heard,
one
Community.
Member
put
it
the
cutest
Bike
Rodeo,
they
had
ever
seen
at
Carlson
Park,
which
was
done
in
partnership
with
cunya,
also
in
Valley
West.
E
If
you
haven't
gone
and
seen
the
murals
in
Valley
West
Park,
including
the
one
on
the
basketball
court,
I'd
recommend
you
go,
take
a
look.
They
are
fantastic
outside
of
Valley
West.
A
couple
of
highlights
are
the
completion
of
Shea
Park
exercise
and
play
equipment,
and
what
I
think
was
a
very
successful
community
outreach
for
the
design
and
planning
of
the
Bloomfield
neighborhood
park.
E
That's
going
to
be
a
gem
once
again,
thank
you
to
the
city
staff
and
volunteers
and
a
big
thank
you
to
the
city
council
for
your
support
of
the
Parks
and
Recreation
programming.
Please
remember
when
you're
making
decisions
about
the
future
of
Arcata
that
we
really
can
help
create
a
community
Through,
People
parks
and
programs.
Thank
you.
So
much.
A
Yeah
I
don't
know
if
any
other
council
members
have
any
questions
about
the
report,
but
just
a
big
thank
you
to
you
and
the
whole
committee
and
and
staff
for
putting
together
again
such
a
comprehensive
report
too.
There's
a
lot
of
great
information
in
there.
So
thank
you
so
much
yeah.
F
Oh
I,
thank
you.
Sheldon
I,
just
really
did
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
you
all
for
in
appreciation
of
all
the
dedication
that
you
guys
have
done.
The
committee's
staff,
your
Liaisons,
we
all
are
very
grateful
for
all
of
the
members
of
the
Liaisons
who
serve
all
of
our
committees,
but
you
guys
have
brought
a
lot
of
fun
things.
As
you
mentioned,
to
Valley
West
The
Bike
Rodeo
was
a
great
success.
As
you
mentioned
the
circus.
F
We
also
had
a
lot
of
pop-ups,
so
we
appreciate
that
gave
some
summer
fun
for
the
residents,
which
was
the
horse
basketball
and
the
ink
people's
project
rebound
that
you
had
mentioned
the
basketball
court
and
also
the
murals
that
were
done.
Workshops
with
the
Merrell
man
were
all
community-led
which
we're
really
giving
the
people
a
voice.
This
is
what
they
had
asked
for:
And
So
It
Came
to
fruition,
so
it
was
super
exciting
for
the
residents
out
there,
and
we
really
appreciate
all
the
ongoing
support
and
upcoming
events
that
are
coming.
F
E
A
Well,
thank
you
Sheldon
all
right,
so
that'll
take
us
to
early
oral
Communications,
and
so
this
15-minute
time
period
allows
people
to
address
the
map
Council
on
matters
that
are
not
on
the
agenda.
So
if
you
are
here
to
speak
about
something
related
to
the
general
plan
or
the
Gateway
area
plan
I
would
please
ask
you
to
hold
those
comments
till
we
get
to
that
item
so
other
folks
that
are
here
to
comment
on
non-agenda
things
have
their
chance,
but
you'll
have
three
minutes
on
that
item
later.
A
So
no
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
council
members
cannot
discuss
or
take
action
on
items
not
listed
on
the
posted
agenda
and
at
the
end
of
all
oral
Communications.
The
council
May
respond
to
statements
and
supported
requests
that
require
Council
action
will
be
set
for
a
future
agenda
or
referred
to
staff.
So
speakers
will
be
limited
to
two
minutes
at
this
time.
G
Shout
out
to
everybody
who
showed
up
in
support
of
the
linear
Park.
Thank
you,
hello
to
staff
and
Council.
My
name
is
James
Becker
and
I'm,
presenting
to
you
an
update
and
scan
copies
of
the
petition
for
L
Street
pathway
to
become
a
permanent
linear,
Park
I'm,
happy
to
report.
The
number
of
signers
are
up
over
a
thousand
and
Counting
from
the
paper
position
and
the
online
one
at
Arlington
linearpark.org.
G
We
also
support
the
spoken
recommendation
of
the
chair
of
the
Arcata
Transportation
Safety
Committee
at
its
August,
2nd
2022
meeting
quote:
revise
the
circulation
plan
that
eliminates
L
Street
as
being
considered
for
new
streets
and
car
traffic.
This
area
is
recommended
to
become
a
car
Freelander
Park
that
prioritizes
people,
a
common
sentiment
has
been
shared
while
Gathering
signatures
from
the
community.
The
best
use
for
the
L
Street
rails
with
Trails
Corridor,
is
to
be
preserved.
For
future
residents,
visitors
Travelers
as
a
linear
Park,
the
worst
possible
outcome
would
be
pave
over
large
percentage.
G
Open
spaces
for
an
additional
through
Road
signers
include
a
broad
spectrum
community
members
from
Arcata
residence
to
Humble,
Bay
Area
and
numerous
council
members
committees,
commission
members
and,
in
addition
to
assembly
members
and
supervisors,
a
common
appreciation
for
L
street
is
its
potential
and
its
simplistic
Beauty.
It's
a
diamond
in
the
rough
that
shouldn't
be
squandered
on
a
couplet
I,
ask
you
to
preserve
L
Street
and
make
it
a
unilateral
safety
improvements
on
K
Street.
Thank
you.
A
All
right
so
thank
thank
you
Jim,
but
I'm
gonna,
again,
Ask
rethink
if
you're
in
line.
Please
please
wait
if
you
have
a
comment
that
is
related
to
Gateway
area,
which
includes
the
L
Street
couplet,
for
when
we
are
on
that
item.
So
this
is
for
items
not
on
the
agenda,
so
we
will
be.
You
know,
having
a
presentation
on
that
this
evening.
Okay,
go
ahead!
Thank
you.
Okay,.
H
Thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
on
this
tonight,
my
name
is
Pat.
Carr
I
have
kind
of
a
big
ask
for
each
of
you.
Earlier
this
month,
I
sent
you
a
letter
to
each
of
you,
City
Council
Members,
signed
by
23
local
residents,
asking
the
city
to
write
assembly,
member
Jim
Wood,
asking
his
support
of
SB
252
a
bill
being
considered
in
the
assemblies
Committee
on
Public
employment
and
retirement.
Sb
252
has
already
passed
the
state
senate,
but
it
faces
a
tough
fight
in
the
state
in
the
assembly.
H
The
bill
is
authored
by
Senator
Lena
Gonzalez
of
Long
Beach.
It
would
require
that
Calpers
and
calstrs,
which,
as
you
know,
are
the
two
largest
Public
Employee
Retirement
funds
in
the
nation:
stop
investing
in
fossil
fuel
projects.
That
would
be
a
huge
win
for
the
climate
right
now.
Those
funds
have
nearly
15
billion
dollars
invested
in
coal,
oil
and
natural
gas
and
I.
H
Don't
think
any
of
us
see
that
as
the
basis
of
a
Secure
Retirement
anymore,
this
is
important
to
you
on
the
city
council
and
to
all
Arcata
residents,
because
we've
shown
a
commitment
to
halting
climate
change.
We've
retrofitted
buildings,
with
solar
panels
and
heat
pumps,
encouraged
residents
to
bike
and
walk
when
they
can.
H
We've
got
community
forests,
sequestering
carbon
and,
of
course,
Arcata
residents
voted
for
an
Earth
flag,
not
a
scorched
Earth
flag,
but
all
this
City's
efforts
against
climate
change
can
easily
be
undone
with
the
15
billion
in
fossil
fuels.
From
these
funds,
assemblyman
wood
has
not
taken
a
position
on
the
bill.
Please
I
ask
you
to
place
this
item
on
your
agenda
at
your
earliest
opportunity
and
ask
assemblyman
wood
to
support
SB
252.
Thank
you.
I
I
I
But
I
was
in
that
email
talking
about
four
major
things:
ceremonial
matters,
staff
reports,
the
climate
emergency
that
the
world
is
facing
and
some
lack
of
what
I
think
is
transparency
and
maybe
even
honesty
in
what's
going
on
behind
closed
doors
at
the
city.
In
regards
to
some
issues
that
in
the
public
forum,
seem
to
be
going
in
One,
Direction
and
then
I
come
to
understand,
they
might
be
changing
so
I
just
wanted
some
clarification
on
that,
but
I'm
going
to
speak
tonight
about
the
climate
emergency.
I
As
we
all
know,
the
world
is
in
hot
water
or
hot
air.
Perhaps-
and
we
here
in
Arcata
can
do
so
much
more
as
a
small
little
college
town
on
the
North
Coast
of
California
to
Fort,
what's
coming
worldwide
by
taking
our
own
individual
action
as
a
community
to
stop
fossil
fuels,
including
the
landscaping
tools
that
the
city
consistently
uses
on
the
ball
fields,
the
plaza
and
out
trimming
the
hedges
that
is
not
to
be
tolerated
anymore.
Our
draft
climate
action
plan
for
the
county
says
reduce
greenhouse

J
Good
evening
I'm
Fred
wise
of
arcader1.com.
Last
week
we
held
a
second
community
meeting
at
the
Arcata
Playhouse.
There
were
73
people
who
came
at
the
May
16th
City
sponsored
meeting.
When
the
pre-assigned
topics
for
discussion
were
announced
about
one-third
of
the
people
there
then
walked
out.
I
felt
there
was
a
need
for
a
wider
Area
Community
meeting.
J
We're
going
to
have
a
series
of
meetings
will
take
place
on
the
first
Tuesday
of
each
month,
August,
1st
September,
5th
October
3rd
and
then
after
that,
for
myself,
in
speaking
with
dozens
of
people,
I
find
many
people
still
have
not
heard
about
expansion
plans
in
Arcata.
Many
others
seem
to
have
the
view
that
the
city
is
going
to
do
whatever
they
want
to
do,
regardless
of
what
people
say,
which
I
disagree
with.
J
Another
group
thinks
that
nothing
is
really
going
to
happen
for
some
years
from
now,
but
a
very
large
group
who
I
meet
and
talk
with
really
really
really
do
not
like
what
they
see
for
those
of
you
watching
from
home.
Everyone
is
invited
to
these
meetings.
You
can
get
more
information
on
arcata1.com.
You
can
write
to
me
and
I'm
happy
to
speak
with
anyone
on
the
phone
thanks
very
much.
A
A
Right
comment:
no
online
comments
on
Zoom
all
right.
Well,
then,
we
will
keep
moving
on
to
get
through
to
the
agenda
item.
Many
folks
are
waiting
for
it
all
right,
so
that
takes
us
to
the
consent.
Calendar
all
matters
on
the
consent.
Calendar
are
okay.
Well,
the
cup
I've
invited
you
up
to
the
podium
and
again
for
items
not
on
the
agenda,
so
if
it
is
related
to
Gateway
or
L
Street
couplet
or
anything
like
that,
we're
gonna
hold.
L
Off
hey,
oh
thank
you
very
much
for
hearing
from
us.
We
don't
feel
listened
to.
There
are
a
thousand
over
a
thousand
people
now
who
have
signed
the
petition.
We
don't
feel,
like
our
representatives
represent
us
anymore.
If
you
have
that
many
people
signing
a
petition
in
your
community
who
care
about
this
issue,
and
it's
really
important
to
keep
the
Open
Spaces
in
our
community
to
keep
some
of
the
parks
and
not
just
build
a
concrete
jungle.
So
to
speak.
L
You
know,
and
you've
had
so
much
focus
on
the
Gateway
plan
and
very
little
on
the
on
the
the
general
plan
until
recently.
L
Until
you
know
the
last
few
weeks
during
the
summer
when
everyone's
gone
was
that
by
Design
I,
don't
know,
but
what
I
want
to
tell
you
is
that
you're
not
listening
to
your
community
and
we
are
paying
attention,
we're
noticing
that,
and
you
really
have
to
start
paying
attention
yourselves
and
what
I
really
want
to
tell
you
is
that
this
is
one
of
the
most
important
issues:
the
L
Street
Corridor
and
there
are.
There
are
communities
all
over
the
world
who
are
creating
linear
parks
and
they're.
L
Beautiful
and
they
invite
people
in
and
they're
Greenways
they're,
not
truck
thoroughfares
they're
Greenways.
They
make
people
feel
like
they're
in
nature
and
like
they're,
they
have
a.
They
have
a
respite
from
all
the
urban
environment.
So
I'm
just
asking
you
to
consider
our
consider
that
this
is
something
that
the
community
wants
and
take
it
seriously.
That's
all.
That's
all
I
have
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
A
But
if
you
want
to
talk
about
the
Gateway
in
the
general
plan,
please
hold
those
comments
all
right.
Thank
you.
Okay!
So
now
we're
gonna
move
and
you'll
get
three
minutes
later.
That's
better
than
two
minutes
now,
I!
Think,
okay.
So
that's
going
to
move
us
to
the
consent!
Calendar
all
matters
on
the
consent.
Calendar
are
considered
to
be
routine
and
are
enacted
in
one
motion.
There's
no
separate
discussion
of
any
of
these
items
and
if
discussion
is
required,
that
item
can
be
removed
from
the
consent,
calendar
and
considered
separately.
A
Ninety
five
dollars:
five
percent
for
a
total
of
228
795
000
and
authorize
the
city
manager
to
execute
all
applicable
documents.
Item
e
approve
the
project
plans
and
award
Construction
contract
for
the
Bloomfield
Park
Improvement
project
to
hooven
and
Company
Incorporated
in
the
amount
of
thirty
nine
thousand
37
and
authorized
the
city
engineer
to
increase
the
contract
amount
by
up
to
three
thousand
nine
hundred
and
three
dollars
and
seventy
cents.
A
So
are
there
any
council
members
that
would
like
to
remove
an
item
from
the
consent
calendar
all
right,
anything
from
staff
or
any
members
of
the
public?
If
you
do
want
to
remove
an
item
from
consent,
please
come
up
to
the
podium
to
do
so.
All
right,
then
I
will
need
a
motion
for
the
consent.
Calendar.
A
A
Thank
you
folks,
and
then
we
will
fly
right
by
old
business
and
into
new
business
so
item
a
under
new
business
is
to
conduct
a
public
hearing
to
hear
objections
or
protests
from
land
owners
listed
on
the
report
of
2022
lean
letter,
recipients
of
delinquent
garbage
accounts
and
fees
and
maker
Visions
or
corrections
to
the
report,
as
the
council
deems
just
after,
which
adopt
resolution
number
234-02
confirming
the
report
of
2022
delinquent
garbage
account
fees
for
lien,
and
we
will
have
a
staff
report
from
Environmental
Services
deputy
director
Emily
benvey.
N
Good
evening,
Council
and
community
members,
the
item
before
you
this
evening
is
a
routine
annual
item
where
Recology
regularly
sends
both
customers
and
owners
of
properties
who
are
delinquent
AKA
behind
in
their
monthly
payments
a
letter
they
send
those
letters
every
other
month,
sometimes
every
month,
notifying
folks
when
they're
behind
on
payments
and
then
after
the
calendar
year
ends,
we
go
through
a
process
with
Recology,
where
we
get
the
account
numbers
and
the
amounts
that
have
continued
to
be
delinquent
from
the
previous
calendar
year,
which
ends
up
becoming
liens
on
properties
that
gets
passed
on
to
the
assessor
in
August
of
the
year,
and
so
this
part
of
the
process
is.
N
We
notify
all
customers
and
owners
who
have
delinquent
accounts
that
their
amounts
are
delinquents.
They
have
an
opportunity
to
protest.
Those
amounts
tonight
before
you
and
then,
if
those
amounts
are
not
resolved
or
paid,
then
they
get
moved
forward
to
the
assessor's
office
to
be
placed
as
liens
on
their
properties.
Excuse
me
this
year,
I
took
a
look
at
the
list
of
delinquent
accounts
compared
to
last
year
and
we
have
a
pretty
comparable
number
of
accounts
that
are
delinquent
for
what
we
see
typically
year
over
year.
N
We
have
about
ten
thousand
dollar
increase
in
the
overall
amount,
and
that's
primarily
due
to
One
account
holder,
who
has
a
really
large
outstanding
bill.
That's
eight
thousand
dollars,
or
so
so
all
of
that
is
to
say
that
in
general,
we're
pretty
on
track
with
what
we
see
year
over
year.
We
got
pretty
few
calls
in
terms
of
folks
who
are
unsure
what
they're
getting
letters
for
or
how
they
can
pay
or
property
owners
that
have
changed
hands.
So,
overall,
it's
been
a
pretty
routine
process
and
we
are
ready
to
move
forward.
A
A
All
right
well,
then,
I'll
need
a
motion.
P
Q
A
R
Yeah
good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members,
this
one
is
kind
of
a
mouthful,
it's
a
a
big
action,
but
it's
really
just
reporting
out
on
the
2017
grant
that
we
received
amended
and
added
funds
and
then
got
extended
to
complete
the
projects.
Most
of
these
projects
were
ongoing
through
covid,
and
so
there
were
a
number
of
changes
that
happened
during
that
time
frame,
and
so
the
recommendation
I
won't
read
it
to
you,
but
that's
the
action
that
we'd
like
you
to
take
so
I'll.
R
Let
you
read
it
back
to
me
when
you're
ready
to
make
a
motion
on
the
second
page
packet,
page
132,
you'll,
note:
a
breakdown
of
the
award
amounts,
the
amounts
that
were
funded
through
program
income
and
notably
I
I-
think
there
was
some
interest
in
the
amounts
that
were
unused
and
to
be
disencumbered
now
I
do
want
to
put
a
you
know,
a
special
note
on
on
this
piece
or
Draw
your
attention
to
this,
because
you
know,
of
course
we
don't
like
to
disencumber
funds.
R
That
means
we're
giving
the
funds
back
to
the
state
or
not
drawing
on
those,
but
the
amount
of
funds
that
were
disencumbering
is
roughly
equal
to
the
amount
of
funds
that
the
state
awarded
Us.
In
addition
to
what
the
original
contract
amount
was,
we
were
hoping
that
we
were
going
to
be
able
to
do
a
little
bit
more
with
the
the
UV
system
for
the
wastewater
treatment
plant.
R
We
funded
a
number
of
other
activities,
including
all
of
the
economic
development,
supplemental
activities
that
were
that
occurred
through
you'll
see
on
the
bottom
of
the
page.
There
there
were
a
number
of
things:
okay,
I'm
getting
the
thumbs
up
from
the
city
manager.
That's
that's
a
good
thing.
R
R
Overall,
you
know
I
think
the
city
can
feel
you
know
proud
of
the
work
that
we
did
with
this.
It
included
the
some
of
the
initial
work,
the
infill
market
study
for
the
Gateway
area
plan
and
General
plan
amendments
that
we
were
able
to
accomplish
during
this
time
frame
and
we've
included
samples
of
those
work
products
along
with
resolutions
to
for
the
city
council
to
formally
adopt
them.
R
Former
city
councils
did
adopt
them,
but
not
by
resolution,
so
we're
bringing
that
for
you
by
resolution
to
satisfy
cdbg
requirements,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
specific
questions
you
have
about
the
the
accomplishments
and
one
of
the
points
of
having
this
as
a
public
hearings
to
ensure
that
you
know
anyone
in
the
public
who
wishes
to
make
comment
on
the
the
accomplishments
and
closeout
report
may
do
so.
C
Say,
like
this
agenda
item
gave
me
a
really
good
opportunity
to
reread
through
the
infill
study,
and
it
brought
up
a
lot
of
questions
when
I
had
rereading
it.
I
don't
think
a
lot
of
them
are
appropriate
to
talk
about
now,
but
I've
written
down
two
pages
of
things
that
might
be
appropriate
to
talk
about
during
study
sessions,
so
I
won't
go
into
it
now,
but
yeah.
It
was
an
interesting
reread
and
it
brought
up
a
lot
of
interesting
points
for
me
both
about
what's
happened
before
and
what
we're
going
to
do.
Moving
forward.
C
I
do
have
one
question
that
I
will
ask
about
these
program
info
income
funded
activities.
Do
you
have
to
apply
for
that?
How
do
we
decide
who
gets
that
money.
R
Yeah,
so
the
the
individual
activities
to
the
business
owners
that
you
see
where
we
spent
you
know
much
of
the
money.
Those
were
application-based
programs
folks
had
to
come
forward
and
demonstrate
that
they
satisfied
the
program
requirements
and,
and
then
we'd
go
through
the
underwriting
and
when
we
were
done
with
the
underwriting
we'd
be
able
to,
you
know,
make
those
loans
for
the
other
activities.
You
see
here,
the
rehabilitation
multi-unit
residential
that
was
the
Arcata
Gardens
project,
the
planning
only
Community
Development,
no
activity
delivery.
R
That
was
another
City
plan
that
we
did
and
then
there
was
some
general
Administration
that
we
put
program
income
to
the
way
that
cdbg
ran
their
program
income
at
the
time
when
this
grant
was
active,
was
that
if
you
had
additional
activities
or
if
you
had
program
income,
you
would
add,
supplemental
activities
is
what
they
call
them.
That
were,
above
and
beyond
the
activities
that
you'd
applied
for
to
ensure
that
you
could
draw
those
funds
down
and
so
that
you
could
draw
down
Grant
funds,
and
so
that's
kind
of
how
we
balance
that.
F
I
was
just
curious
to
security
development,
Cafe
Phoenix.
We
found
out
like
that.
The
Big
Blue
Cafe
had
employee
retention
requirements
and
it
was
met
and
the
loan
was
forgiven
and
it
looks
like
we
were
able
to
the
vegan
micro-enterprise
Grant
was
able
to
repair
damages.
Do
we
have
any
updates
for
Earthly
me
or
body
free
and
how
that
worked
out
for
their
strategic
marketing
and
yeah.
F
And
I
was
just
looking
at
I
was
part
of
the
Planning
Commission
when
we
did
the
housing
element
and
I
know
that
so
much
has
happened
since
then
we
were
in
the
midst
or
in
the
height
of
the
pandemic,
and
this
was
pre-pandemic.
We're
going
to
do
another
update
sooner
than
later,
to
reflect,
what's
really
been
happening
in
the
housing
element
portion
of
that.
F
I
understand
that
I
guess
I
was
just
wondering
that
so
much
has
happened
while
we're
not
required
to
do
it.
Cal
Poly
Humboldt
has
expanded.
We
have
an
influx
with
regards
to
Fire
and
climate
refugees.
Just
so
much
has
happened
since
2019
and
we
will
be
waiting.
When
is
that
supposed
to
be
when
we
would
update
it.
R
Think
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
right
now
with
the
general
plan
is
kind
of
reevaluating
those
needs
and
reassessing
those
needs.
So
I
think
you'll
have
an
opportunity
to
do
that
through
that.
F
C
O
O
We've
got
someone
from
the
Department
of
Finance
coming
to
talk
to
us
about
how
how
the
numbers
are
created,
because
we
did
already
meet
with
somebody
from
it
was
hcd
that
came
yeah,
because
the
though
they
show
our
population
to
decline
and
I
think
we
all
know,
that's
not
what's
happening,
and
so
we're
gonna
we're
trying
to
find
out
lots
of
communities.
Have
these
same
concerns.
Where
do
these
numbers
come
from
and
how
could
we
maybe
make
them
more,
accurate,
so
and
then
I
did
I.
O
Don't
have
a
question
but
I
wanted
to
say
regarding
the
Arcata
multi-family
Rehabilitation
project
I
do
have
a
family
that
I
visit
there
and
it
makes
me
smile
whenever
I
go
in
and
the
courtyard
has
now
been
converted
into
a
really
awesome
playground
for
the
kids,
because
there's
a
great
Courtyard
in
the
middle
of
those
apartments,
and
so
now
there's
a
playground.
So
I
appreciate
that.
R
Yeah,
that
was
a
great
project.
It
was
actually
probably
10
years
deferred
project
that
we
didn't
have
funding
for
when
we
did
the
original
Rehabilitation
so
yeah,
we
were
happy
to
be
able
to
assist
that
project.
I'll
note
too,
with
the
with
the
housing
element.
Just
briefly
that
the
housing
element
numbers
can
be
viewed
as
sort
of
a
floor,
not
a
ceiling
and
so
local
jurisdictions
can
plan.
For
you
know
you
know
for
for
more
than
what
is
required
through
the
arena.
Q
A
A
So
if
you
would
like
to
comment
on
the
cdbg,
please
come
to
the
podium.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you,
I'm
Fred,
wise
first,
thank
you
to
staff
for
the
management
of
the
cdbg
funds
and
all
the
work
that
that
entails.
There's
no
requirement
that
we
look
at
the
housing
element
or
update
it,
but
we
might
consider
an
informal
review.
I
was
adopted
three
and
a
half
years
ago,
where
just
about
halfway
through
the
eight-year
housing
element
cycle
and,
as
has
been
pointed
out,
much
has
changed
since
2019
three
and
a
half
years
ago
was
pre-covered
pre-cal,
poly
expansion
and
pre-california's
sb9
act
and
other
measures.
J
The
housing
crisis
in
Arcata
has
certainly
worsened
since
then,
and
this
housing
element
does
not
reflect
this.
This
element
shows
a
population
growth
scheduled
for
Arcata
for
the
10
years
from
2020
to
2030,
as
only
375
people,
one-fifth
of
one
percent
per
year.
The
figures
from
our
community
development
department
now
show
an
exponential
increase
of
1.5
percent
per
year
over
10
years.
We're
not
looking
at
three
or
four
hundred
people
we're
looking
at
four
or
five
thousand
people
over
the
next
10
years
by
2030.,
seven
years
from
now.
J
That
is
ten
times
as
many
people
as
a
list
in
the
housing
element.
In
2019,
housing
prices
were
about
370
thousand
dollars
today
about
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
A
one
bedroom
apartment
in
2019
was
under
nine
hundred
dollars
today
over
twelve
hundred
dollars.
There's
25
implementation
measures
that
are
listed.
Some
have
time
frames
that
dates
that
have
already
passed
I.
Think
a
review
is
called
for
to
determine
what's
useful
in
this
document
and
what's
obsolete
and
not
of
any
value
to
us
on
the
infill
market
study
I
found
that
very
interesting.
J
That's
two
and
a
half
years
old.
I'll
note.
There
is
a
section
on
the
Gateway
plan,
but
it's
called
a
specific
plan
in
that
study.
Now
this
is
just
a
study.
I
understand.
The
study
calls
for
the
truck
traffic
on
K
Street
to
be
routed
over
to
an
improved
O
Street
building
costs
today
are
about
30
percent
higher
than
just
two
and
a
half
years
ago
for
a
family
earning
ninety
thousand
dollars
a
year.
J
It
shows
a
feasible
home
purchase
price
of
360
thousand
dollars,
which
I,
don't
believe,
is
any
possible
and
in
its
list
of
the
top
20
employers
for
Arcata,
the
study
is
missing.
Some
major
players,
including
cocotat
North,
Coast
children's
services
and
Wing
Inflatables,
is
not
listed
and
somewhat
amazingly,
it
has
a
section
describing
the
cost
of
annexing
358
Acres
of
Farmland
on
the
west
side
of
Arcata,
which
was
a
scenario
that
was
being
considered
at
that
time.
Thanks.
A
All
right
do
I,
have
any
comment
on
CG
all
right.
Take
it
online.
Is
there
anybody
all
right?
Well,
that
being
said
either
any
follow-up
questions
or
thoughts,
or
we
can
entertain
a
motion
in
a
second.
S
A
Thank
you,
folks,
all
right
that
will
take
us
to
item
C,
which
is
to
receive
a
verbal
report
from
the
Planning
Commission,
chairperson,
Scott
Davies,
on
the
planning
commission's
recommendations
for
the
city's
General
plan
updates
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
a
few
words
before
we
dove
in,
but
just
to
express
my
appreciation,
first
of
all,
to
the
Planning
Commission
for
their
dedication
throughout
this
process,
and
really
you
know,
agreeing
to
work
with
the
council
and
get
us
some
recommendations
in
a
timely
fashion
and
also
to
meet
for
some
extra
meetings
and
meet
on
the
weekends.
A
This
is
going
to
happen
through
a
series
of
at
least
three
study
sessions
that
we
already
have
set
for
August,
September
and
October,
and
so
tonight
we're
just
going
to
kind
of
receive
this
update
from
staff
in
the
Planning
Commission
chair
about
the
recommendation
that
is
going
to
come
forward
to
us
and
kind
of
create
a
timeline,
and
you
know
look
at
what
this
document
that
we're
all
going
to
be
working
from
is
is
looking
like
and
so
again
tonight.
This
is
going
to
be
a
presentation.
A
It's
not
intended
to
be
a
major.
You
know,
discussion,
point
or
any
decision
making
at
all
because
again
we're
going
to
have
a
few
more
study
sessions
and
a
lot
more
stuff
to
to
work
through
and
discuss,
and
so
no
specific
policy
has
been
decided
upon.
Yet,
but
again,
this
is
a
good
chance
for
input
and
it's
really
nice
to
see
some
different
faces
here
this
evening
and
people
getting
involved
and
wanting
to
comment.
A
So
thank
you
for
coming
out
to
the
meeting
and
by
the
end
of
the
month,
I
believe
we're
going
to
have
the
completed
new,
updated
draft
that
reflects
the
planning
commission's
recommendations
for
all
the
general
plan
elements
except
the
Gateway
release
for
the
councils
and
public
review,
and
so
we
will
have
this
new
base
document
to
work
from
that.
A
We
can
all
suggest
changes
to,
and
you
know
kind
of
have
a
common
ground
going
forward,
and
so
our
first
study
session
in
August
is
going
to
focus
more
overall
on
the
general
plan
because
we
can
all
be
there,
we're
all
scheduled
to
be
at
that
one,
and
so
we
will
not
be
getting
too
much
into
Gateway
on
that.
First
one
and
so
again
tonight's
presentation
is
going
to
start
with
the
overall
General
plan,
recommendations
and
the
timeline
for
that.
And
then
it
will
move
on
to
the
Gateway
update.
A
So
we'll
kind
of
break
a
little
bit
at
that
point,
and
let
our
colleagues
that
need
to
recuse
themselves
to
leave
the
room.
So
again,
thank
you
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
thank
you
to
the
Community
Development
Department
for
all
the
work
that
you
guys
have
done
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
director
Loya
and
chair
Davies.
T
All
right
well
good
evening,
mayor
vice
mayor
and
council
members,
it's
exciting
to
finally
be
here
at
this
Milestone
and
before
you
this
evening.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
provide
an
update
this
evening
on
the
planning
commission's
review
of
the
general
plan,
Gateway
area
plan
and
the
associated
Gateway
code.
T
The
Planning
Commission
has
taken
many
many
hours
of
public
comment
has
received
numerous
letters
expressing
a
wide
array
of
opinions
and
has
had
countless
interactions
with
our
fellow
residents
from
the
grocery
store
to
the
farmers
market
from
crabs
games
to
Marsh
walks.
We've
also
looked
at
recommendations
from
a
number
of
City
committees.
T
We've
also
looked
closely
at
the
increasing
pressure
from
Sacramento
and
the
state
government
on
communities
across
California
to
increase
Housing
Development,
as
well
as
the
growing
enforcement
pressure
from
the
state
which
could
result
in
the
state
permitting
projects
in
our
town.
If
we
do
not
keep
up
with
State
mandated
housing
goals,
we
recognize
that
Arcata
will
grow
and
take
it
as
a
given
that
people
will
continue
to
move
here.
T
The
question
therefore
isn't
whether
Arcata
should
grow,
but
rather
how
will
we
grow?
The
Planning
Commission
has
taken
the
view
that
thoughtful
development,
which
incorporates
Community
input,
is
environmentally
responsible,
elevates
our
values
of
inclusion
and
diversity
and
which
retains
as
much
autonomy
from
the
state
as
possible
in
our
development
path
is
the
best
way
forward.
T
The
result
is
the
recommendation
we
finalized,
as
promised
at
our
July
11
meeting
since
council
members,
Atkins,
Salazar
and
Stillman
will
need
to
recuse
themselves
from
the
Gateway
topics.
I'll
start
by
focusing
on
the
general
plan,
and
then
I
will
pause
for
the
transition
to
the
Gateway
related
topics
to
allow
for
those
recusals.
T
In
many
ways
we
feel
the
pinch
more
than
other
parts
of
the
state,
since
wages
are
lower,
housing
costs
are
respectively
higher
and
yet
the
cost
of
production
is
equal
or
higher
than
State
average,
and
yet
housing
costs
are
lower
together.
All
of
this
means
it
is
less
economical
to
bring
new
housing
to
Market.
Here,
on
top
of
that,
our
inventory
of
available
land
for
housing
production
is
dwindling,
with
fewer
than
286
housing
units
left
in
our
2019-2027
housing
element
inventory.
T
In
fact,
the
Gateway
rezoning
was
a
Housing
and
Community
Development
condition
of
its
2019
housing
element,
certification,
adding
in
the
pressure
from
the
state
which
is
applying
to
Handover
land
use
decisions
for
housing
production
to
developers.
If
cities
are
not
proactive,
it's
imperative
that
we
develop
policy
and
Zoning
that
supports
rapid
development
of
housing.
In
the
way
we,
as
our
catons
wish
to
see
it
developed
on
July
11th,
the
Planning
Commission
voted
to
recommend
that
June
27
2023
draft
general
plan
for
the
council's
consideration.
T
T
We
recognize
and
anticipate
additional
modifications
may
come
from
the
ongoing
public
process
while
there
may
be
polishing.
The
June
27
draft
provides
the
commission's
suggestion
for
the
policy
framework
for
our
community
for
the
next
20-year
planning
period.
We
look
forward
to
discussing
the
details
with
the
council
at
our
upcoming
joint
study
sessions
in
August,
September
and
October.
T
T
Parking
is
a
major
issue
in
all
of
our
land
use
discussions.
This
is
also
a
topic
with
a
clear
split
in
the
community.
Many
would
like
no
parking
and
road
closures
to
allow
better
access
for
bikes
and
pedestrians.
Others
would
like
to
ensure
each
project
fully
manages
its
potential
maximum
parking
needs.
T
Our
commitment
to
racial
Equity
went
deeper
than
language
review.
Staff
has
been
working
with
blank
and
Orem
Equity
Partners,
who
convened
a
stakeholder
group
to
provide
input
on
lived
experience
of
bipoc
community
members
policy
was
drafted
to
be
responsive
to
the
feedback
received.
Then
the
policy
was
vetted
with
the
same
group.
T
A
I
just
wanted
to
ask
a
clarifying
question
about
the
health
element.
You
know
as
far
as
what
is
contained
in
that
overall,
like
what
major
points
does
that
hit.
I
know
that
we're
gonna
get
to
see
it
soon
and
then
read
it
and
discuss
it
with
you
guys.
But
what
are
the
the
kind
of
the
major
policy
areas
that
that
looks
at.
R
You
know
I'll
weigh
in
on
this.
The
health
element
is
a
brand
new
element
in
the
general
plan
that
covers
a
wide
range
of
Health
topics.
Everything
from
you
know
active
living
to
ensuring
that
there's,
you
know
healthy
food
available
to
everyone
throughout
the
community
and
the
way
that
we
have
it
structured
right
now
is
it's
all.
R
In
one
document,
the
majority
of
the
policy
we
envision
remaining
in
an
element
entitled
the
health
element
and
then
at
the
end
of
that,
because
the
health
element
policies
really
do
cross
over
with
many
of
the
other
elements,
we've
broken
them
down
into
different
sections,
based
on
the
element
that
we
feel
those
bodies
of
policy
fit
into,
and
so
we'll
have
recommendations
for
moving
some
of
the
health
element
into
the
circulation
element.
The
mobility
element,
some
of
the
health
element
into
the
open
space
element,
Recreation
element,
for
example.
R
Those
elements
are
online
right
now
and
I'll
show
you
where
to
find
those
in
a
moment,
but
in
in
they
they
really
span.
The
gamut
of
you
know
Health
policies
and
then
in
part,
because
they
were
actually
funded
by
Jen.
Can
you
give
me
help
with
the
entity
that
funded
the
health
element.
S
R
Great
partner
that
will
come
to
me
in
a
moment,
but
their
their
mission
is
on
tobacco
cessation,
and
so
there
are
several
policies
around
tobacco
cessation
in
there
as
well.
A
Wonderful,
thank
you
David.
Any
other
questions
right
now
from
the
council
at
this
pausing
point
about
General
plan
stuff.
M
M
It's
not
part
of
the
city
anymore,.
M
M
O
T
Too
yeah
us
too,
everyone
on
the
commission
is
looking
forward
to
finally
being
able
to
work
together
with
City
Council
on
wrestling
with
some
of
these
issues
that
we've
been
dealing
with
kind
of
on
our
own
for
a
long
time.
So,
speaking
for
the
whole
commission,
we're
we're
all
enthusiastic
about
being
able
to
work
with
you
over
the
next
three
joint
study
sessions.
F
R
Absolutely
and
we
and
I'll
show
you
where
again
on
our
website,
those
that
information
is
located.
The
the
equity
Partners
report
is
up
on
our
website
and
I
do
need
to
correct
just
one
bit
of
information
that
I
provided
the
chair
previously
for
his
report
about
the
status
of
that
the
document
is
planned
to
be
vetted
with
the
original
stakeholders.
It
hasn't
been
done
so
yet,
but
it
is
on
our
website
the
outcomes
from
from
those
those
stakeholder
meetings,
and
it's
actually
right
here.
R
So
that's
a
nice
segue,
so
I
just
wanted
to
touch
base
as
I'm
going
through
the
process
with
the
the
Council
on
the
committee
community,
on
where
some
of
these
resources
are
that'll
be
helpful
for
you
to
review
before
your
study
sessions
begin
and
just
to
orient
folks
to
to
where
things
are,
and
so
we've
been
tracking
all
of
the
public
engagement
on
our
strategic
infill,
Redevelopment
plan
or
serp
webpage.
R
If
you
Google,
serpent
Arcata
or
if
you
go
to
our
website,
cityofarcata.org
and
use
the
search
function,
you'll
be
able
to
find
it
readily.
But
we've
been
tracking
information
that
the
you
know,
Planning
Commission,
has
been
generating
information
that
the
Committees
have
been
generating
information
that
are
coming
from
reports.
You
see
those
on
the
left
hand
side
here
and
on
the
right
hand,
side
under
the
public
comments.
Tab
you'll,
see
highlighted
in
green
up
there.
R
We've
been
posting
all
of
the
comments
that
the
city
receives
either
directly
or
through
Commissioners,
that
public
members
have
been
submitting
and
we're
trying
to
batch
those
now
on
a
weekly
basis,
and
so
these
are
all
located.
You
can
use
the
QR
code
if
you're
looking
online,
you
just
want
to
shoot
your
phone
at
it,
but
they're
located
at
www.cityofarcada.org
940,
because
that
makes
sense,
slash
engagement,
Dash
information.
It's
also
just
really
easy
to
find
from
the
main
page
clicking
on
engagement
data,
but
I
wanted
to
give
you
the
specific
URL.
R
So
you
can
look
through
here
and
find
all
of
the
information
that's
come
forward
from.
You
know
the
public
from
committees
and
from
the
the
Planning
Commission.
It's
also
housed
on
you
know
in
a
couple
other
ways:
there's
we
try
to
make
multiple
ways
of
getting
at
the
same
information,
so
it
was
easy
to
receive.
R
We
did
mention
this.
Just
the
the
mayor
mentioned
this,
but
I
wanted
to
reiterate
that
the
general
plan,
the
June
27
General
plan
that
was
currently
in
track
changes
the
Planning
Commission
made.
The
recommendation
to
the
city
council
for
will
be
updated
with
the
new
clean
version
by
the
end
of
this
month,
so
those
will
be
out
and
ready
for
for
review.
R
I
will
note
that
there
were
many
editorial
recommendations-
some
reorganization-
that
was
indicated
by
the
majority
of
the
the
commission
that
we
are
trying
to
get
completed
into
this
version,
but
we
may
not
get
done
with
all
of
it,
so
there
may
still
be
a
little
bit
of
editorial
cleanup,
but
the
bot,
the
policy
that's
in
there
will
be
the
policy.
That's
come
forward
as
a
recommendation
and
then
on
the
right
side.
Here
you
see
a
first
page
out
of
our
Gateway
code
and
by
mid-august
that
will
be
available
for
review
in
its
revised
form.
R
It's
current
draft
form
that
was
submitted
early
June
and
that
the
Planning
Commission
is
now
reviewed.
A
few
times
is
on
our
website.
You
can
start
reading
that
now,
but
the
revised
version
will
be
complete
and
ready
by
mid-august,
and
these
will
be
the
the
basis
for
your.
Your
upcoming
study
sessions.
R
I
wanted
to
touch
base
on
the
timeline
real,
quick
starting
here
at
date,
Zero
in
the
beginning
of
August
running
through
you
know,
March
or
April
of
next
year,
just
to
get
a
sense
for
what
we're
anticipating
for
the
timeline
to
get
through
this
review
and
what
the
major
Milestones
are.
Looking
at.
The
first
part
of
the
year,
half
year,
August
through
August
through
October,
rather
we'll
have
the
joint
study
sessions
in
August,
September
and
October
I'm,
not
putting
some
of
the
minor
Milestones
here.
The
Planning
Commission
has
committed
to
continue
its
review.
R
There
may
be
some
additional
recommendations
that
come
forward
out
of
the
the
work
that
they
do
over
the
next
several
months.
So
I
haven't
indicated
those
here,
but
they
they
do
plan
on
doing
that
review.
We
are
also
anticipating
in
August
the
draft
eir.
For
this
work
to
be
out
for
us
for
45
days
circulation
period,
so
when
I
draft
the
IRS
released
there'll
be
a
circulation
period,
it's
called
that
circulation
period
is
when
the
public
agencies,
folks,
who
are
interested,
have
an
opportunity
to
provide
written
comments
on
the
draft.
C
A
Yeah
and
we've
been
kind
of
talking
about
how
we're
gonna
meet
next
week
about
how
we're
going
to
structure
these
study
sessions,
but
I'm
kind
of
looking
at
similar
ideas
to
what
the
Planning
Commission
was
doing,
where
we
can
kind
of
submit
questions
beforehand
or
like
thoughts
like
the
Planning
Commission
was
able
to
about
like
what
suggestions
and
changes.
We
want
to
see
about
the
topics
that
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
at
the
study
session
too,
which
I
think
is
going
to
be
helpful.
A
F
Ask
a
question:
is
that
meeting
next
week,
just
with
the
mayor
and
vice
mayor
or
will
it
include
all
Council.
A
R
A
That's
the
one.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
folks,
yeah,
who
has
been
a
facilitator
in
the
past
for
many
meetings
that
we've
done
so
she's
gonna
at
least
I
know
that
she
can't
be
there
for
the
August
meeting,
but
she
is
going
to
provide
us
some
guidance
and
hopefully
be
there
for
the
September
and
October
meetings
as
well.
R
This,
yes,
thank
you
for
all
those
clarifications
and
additional
information.
The
low
lowest
Branch
here
the
decision
you'll
see
that
there's
nothing
posted
here
for
your
study
sessions.
Obviously
you'll
be
making
decisions
I'm,
reserving
that
for
final
decisions
to
so
that
you
can
see
when
the
major
Milestone
so
again,
there's
all
kinds
of
minor
Milestones
that
aren't
listed
here.
R
Moving
into
the
next
three
months,
November
through
January,
Dutch.
O
Director
Loya
I'm,
sorry
to
interrupt,
but
I
did
have
a
question
about
the
first
portion.
I
think
that
if
you
look
how
the
Draft
eir
starts
in
August
as
well
as
the
first
joint
study
session,
there
might
be
members
of
the
public
that
are
questioning
that,
like
how
could
you
start
the
eir?
If
you
haven't
completed
the
joint
study
sessions,
do
you
could
you
just
explain
a
little
bit
about
that
to
ease
people's
minds.
R
Absolutely
thank
you
for
that
clarifying
question.
The
the
eir
is
based
on
on
these
drafts.
The
eir
is
I
would
say
insensitive
to
many
of
the
changes
that
we
might
make
that
change.
You
know
policy
language
as
long
as
they
don't
affect
the
environment.
R
So
there
is
a
you
know,
a
bit
of
a
risk
calculated
risk
that
we're
taking
by
circulating
the
eir
while
we're
still
under
review.
The
eir
is
written
right
now.
The
admin
draft
is
written,
such
that
the
sort
of
the
largest
project
description
is
being
evaluated,
and
so
the
the
city
council
can
always
ramp
down
the
the
the
you
know,
the
general
plan,
you
know,
reduce
the
the
size
of
the
impacts
through
you
know
reducing
densities
or
you
know
reducing
other
other
kinds
of
impacts.
C
R
So
so,
unless
the
city
council
has
a
decision
that
you
know,
look,
we
want
to
double
our
population
estimate
or
something
like
that
from
what
it
is
now
or
have
some
some
change
to
the
eir.
Some
change
to
the
general
plan.
That's
going
to
have
a
significantly
higher
environmental
impact,
then
we're
we're
safe
running
with
the
project
description
as
we
have
it
now
modifying
language
polishing.
It
changing
words
here
and
there
at
a
better
convey.
You
know
what
our
vision
is
doesn't
affect
the
eir.
R
Certainly
if
the
city
council
wants
to
wait
to
start
that
circulation
period,
we
can
have
that
conversation
and-
and
if
you
direct
that
we
will,
we
will
certainly
hold
but
I.
Think
at
this
point
it's
a
you
know
a
fairly
reasonable,
calculated
risk
to
start
the
eir
process
so
that
you
can
complete
this
work
in
March.
R
So
moving
into
the
next
three
month
period,
the
November
through
January,
the
major
Milestones
that
we
have
are
the
circulation
period.
That
45-day
period
would
end
in
November
and
then
in
the
December
time
frame.
The
Planning
Commission
will
be
likely
ready
to
start
making
some
follow-up
recommendations
over
the
course
of
those
months.
R
Planning
Commission
will
be
taking
the
the
meetings
that
it
does
have
scheduled
and
dedicating
at
least
some
time
when
they,
you
know,
when
they're
reviewing
discretionary
projects
and
such
to
continue
their
review
and
I
anticipate
they'll
want
to
formalize
that
and
recommendation
to
you
sometime
in
December.
F
F
T
We
will
be
holding
two
meetings
a
month
as
we
normally
do.
One
will
be
our
regularly
scheduled
Planning
Commission
meetings
and
the
second
meeting
of
the
month
will
be
our
study
session
with
you.
So
we
will
be
having
the
same
number
of
meetings
that
we
normally
do,
but
one
of
them
each
month
will
be
with
you
which
we're
looking
forward
to
did
that
answer
your
question.
It.
R
R
Moving
into
the
next
quarter,
I
seem
to
be
missing.
Something
I
seem
to
be
missing,
something
pretty
critical.
Let
me
zoom
out
here
and
then
we'll
just
do
a
little
work
around.
R
Okay,
we'll
get
that
guy
out
of
the
way,
okay,
so
going
into
the
last
quarter
here.
This
is
where
a
lot
of
you
know
actions
start
happening.
There's
a
lot
of
final
meetings
in
February,
the
PC,
the
Planning
Commission
will
have
the
opportunity
to
have
its
final
recommendation,
which
it'll
make
by
by
resolution
to
the
city
council.
R
The
final
eir
will
be
published
at
that
time,
and
so
the
Planning
Commission
will
be
able
to
make
a
final
recommendation
on
the
eir
as
well.
Those
are
both
necessary
steps
for
the
city
council
to
make
its
decision
is
to
get
a
recommendation
from
the
Planning
Commission
on
these
General
plan
amendments
to
zoning
amendments
and
Adoption
of
a
eir,
so.
C
R
Well,
the
it's
it's
good
to
have
the
city
council
provide
policy
Direction
on
the
types
of
decisions
we're
making
absolutely,
and
so
so
you
may
have
a
study
session
or
you
may
have
an
agendaized
item
where
the
council
makes
a
decision
and
says
you
know
Planning
Commission.
We
want
you
to
review
this
body
of
policy.
You
will
not
be
able
to
formally
make
a
decision
until
the
eir
is
completed
and
certified,
and
so
typically,
what
we
do
is
you
can
you
can
separate
those
in
time?
R
R
Okay,
the
and
so
the
decision
will
be
Planning,
Commission
final
recommendation
on
some
date
in
Jan
in
February.
R
That's
when
the
the
Hot
Potato
will
be
handed
over
to
the
city
council
and
the
city
council
will
be
able
to
start
its
final
review
in
March,
and
that
will
be
again
all
of
these
documents:
the
environmental
impact
report,
the
the
general
plan
and
the
form-based
code,
and
so
in
March.
Theoretically,
you
would
be
able
to
certify
that
eir
and
take
action
on
this
General
plan
and
Zoning
amendments.
R
This
is
again,
this
is
the
sort
of
you
know,
best
case
scenario,
everything
lines
up
and
we
go
in
linear
fashion.
The
Planning
Commission,
the
city
council
are
really
in
charge
of
deciding
when
these
actions
take
place.
But
staff
believes
these
are
the
soonest
that
they
could
take
place.
If
you
chose
to
you
know,
take
these
actions,
so
that's
kind
of
the
outline
of
what
all
the
decisions
are.
You
have
those
three
major
ones
between
the
environmental
review,
the
general
plan
and
then
the
the
code
and
when
they
would
happen.
R
Let's
go
back
into
this
mode,
okay
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
touch
base
real
quick
on
the
outstanding
work
product.
So
we're
you
know
all
on
the
same
page
with
those.
Some
of
these
are
are
known.
Some
of
these.
There
is
a
question
mark.
If
the
council
wants
us
to
pursue
these,
we
can
so
Equity
Arcata
and
Equity
Partners
we
discussed
were
you
know,
networking
to
formulate
some
recommendations.
R
We
have
the
recommendations
from
Equity
Equity
partners
and
they
are
going
to
go
back
after
this
process
to
vet,
those
with
the
stakeholder
group,
and
so
we
feel
like
we
will
have
had
a
really
robust
discussion
about
you
know
racial
equity
and
social
justice
in
the
review
of
the
draft
elements
before
they
come
to
you,
the
Turner
housing
policy
lab
housing.
R
Dashboard
that
we
authorized
in
that
you
authorized
in
early
part
of
this
year
is
off
the
ground
and
running
they
have
all
of
the
data
from
us
that
they
need
and
I
anticipate
sometime
in
the
next
month
to
month
and
a
half
seeing
some.
You
know
some
preliminary
work
from
them
as
soon
as
we
do
we'll
schedule
a
time
with
you
to
to
share
that
with
you
in
the
community.
R
Yes,
absolutely
we
worked
with
Urban
field
Studios
to
to
test
some
of
the
sites
in
the
Gateway
area.
With
the
code
that's
been
drafted,
they
presented
that
information
to
the
Planning
Commission
at
their
last
meeting
and
the
objective
there
was
to
start
to
get
a
sense
for
based
on
the
objective
standards
that
we've
got
in
this
draft
code.
R
You
know
how
realistic
is
a
you
know
the
development
of
these
these
projects,
and
you
know
what
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
need
to
think
about
as
we
finalize
the
code,
the
architect
from
Urban
field
Studios,
who
ran
these
tests.
You
know
made
some
some
recommendations
that
were
solidly
in
his
wheelhouse.
That,
were,
you
know,
based
on
architectural
understanding,
but
he
also
suggested
that
you
know
we
could
get
more
detailed
information
from
having
an
economist
review.
R
Those
and
there's
still
some
leftover
funding
and
some
leftover
scope
in
the
work
that
we're
doing
with
Ben.
So
what
I'd
like
to
be
to
seek
the
authority
to
do
is
to
transfer
some
of
that
to
some
of
that
scope
to
to
do
this
economic
analysis
and
we'll
bring
that
forward
through.
You
know
through
a
normal
approval
process.
It
may
be
that
the
city
manager
has
the
authorization
to
do
that,
but
it
would
be
great
to
get
a
nudge
or
a
wink
from
the
council
that
that's
something
that
you'd
be
interested
in.
R
We
also
have
additional
Gateway
code
Graphics
that
are
pending
right
now.
The
draft
code
has,
you
know,
sort
of
a
subset
of
Graphics
to
help
convey
what
the
what
the
code
requirements
are,
but
there
are
also
some
pretty
pictures
that
the
code
will
have
in
it
as
as
we
move
forward
so
there's
those
are
still
outstanding
and
then,
of
course,
the
environmental
impact
report
is
yet
to
be
released.
So
those
are
the
major
deliverables
that
we
see
coming
forward
during
this
time
frame.
F
I
was
just
curious
so
when
we
do
when
these
work
products
are
delivered
recommendations,
for
example
the
equity
Partners
in
equity
Arcata.
When
will
we
have
an
opportunity,
once
we've
seen
the
recommendations
to
to
go
back,
fill
in
any
gaps?
If
we
see
any
or
is
that
our
product.
R
R
A
R
Us
it
is,
it
is
online
on
those
engagement
Pages,
it's
a
recent
addition.
The
work
is
is
fairly
recent.
A
F
I
know
that
a
lot
of
people
have
been
contacting
me
about.
When
is
the
3D
modeling?
Is
that
part
of
the
work
product,
or
is
that
going
to
happen,
and
we
had
talked
about
other
tools
that
we
would
be
utilizing
I,
it's
been
like
a
year
and
a
half
since
we
had
the
open
house,
and
it
was
in
the
midst
of
the
pandemic
and
I'm.
Just
thinking
like
now,
the
time
is
ripe.
We
have
so
many
new
faces
people
that
I've
never
seen
before
involved
and
I'm.
F
Just
wondering
is
that
something
do
we
have
any
money
left
in
our
engagement
budget
and,
if
so,
how
much
and
could
that
be?
Something
that
we
could
do
is
a
another
open
house.
You
know
we
had
I
believe
it
was
170
people
on
the
first,
one
I
suspect
we'll
have
triple
that
number.
Now
we
have
lots
of
people
now
who
are
getting
engaged.
F
Finally,
so
it
just
feels
like
the
time
is
ripe
to
bring
that
in
that
might
be
an
excellent
time
to
bring
in
some
of
the
3D
modeling
and
kind
of
pull
it
all
together
for
folks
that
maybe
missed
it
in
the
beginning.
Won't
I.
R
The
Turner
model
is
focused
more
on
the
probability
of
financial
feasibility,
the
the
3D
modeling.
We
do
have
some
3D
modeling
that
we
received
the
the
community
has
seen
you
know,
components
of
it.
A
lot
of
it
was
glass
box.
R
You
know,
you
know
basically
translucent
boxes,
that
that
showed
the
maximum
extent
of
you
know
potential
development
without
any
reference
or
context
to
you
know
what
was
in
the
Gateway
code,
because
that
came
before
the
code,
and
so
we
did
a
few
things
early
on
to
try
and
address
some
of
you
know
trying
to
refine
what
the
3D
modeling
was
intended
to
do,
but
wasn't
quite
performing
the
way
that
we
anticipated
it.
Would
we
hired
Julian
Berg
to
to
do
a
a
drawing?
R
He
actually
has
one
other
drawing
outstanding
for
us
that
he's
he's
committed
and
willing
to
do
of
sort
of
a
more
detailed
view
of
what
those
glass
boxes
were
were
demonstrating.
R
The
Challenge
became
the
you
know,
trying
to
transition
the
technology
and
we
were
very
excited
about
it
and,
and
maybe
over
promoted
it
at
the
time
as
our
our
Consultants
were
describing
to
us,
the
you
know
the
power
of
it
and
the
you
know
what
it
could
do
and
as
we
got
into
you,
know
more
refined
details
the
you
know.
R
Basically
those
are
going
to
be
additive
services
and
so
trying
to
you
know,
do
a
bunch
of
you
know:
3D
GIS
work
didn't
seem
feasible
anymore,
and
so
we
pivoted
and
had
the
urban
field.
Studios.
Actually
you
know,
do
some
architecture
and
drawing.
R
Instead,
it
is
certainly
if
it's
you
know,
if
the
council,
you
know,
wants
us
to
go
through
that
exercise.
We
could
probably
pivot
some
of
the
money
that
we
have.
You
know
outlined
for
for
other
things
at
this
point
to
try
and
do
some
of
that,
but
that
would
not
be
like
you
know
a
whole
scale
you're
going
to
see
every
site
designed
out.
We
were
talking
about
a
couple
of
sites
similar
to
what
we.
F
K
I
think
in
terms
of
more
public
engagement,
I
think
the
council
can
choose.
You
know
whatever
path
that
we
want
to,
as
we
start
to
move
through
this
Council
review
of
the
documents
you
know,
I
think
my
suggestion
would
be
that
you
start
with
your
first
study
session.
K
You
start
digging
into
the
policy
and
then
try
to
figure
out
if
there's
specific
things
that
are
important
to
the
council
to
vet
further
with
the
community
that
we
design
that
engagement
around
you
know
those
specific
topics,
you
know,
I
think
what
just
and
I've
been
watching
more
from
the
outside.
Like
many
I
know,
all
of
the
council
has
been
the
Planning
Commission
meetings.
K
It
seems
like
there
is
a
substantial
body
of
work
that
is
fairly
universally
supported
by
the
community,
and
then
there
are
a
few
issues
that
are
going
to
take
some
real,
deep
dialogue
within
the
community,
so
I
think
once
the
council
vets
out
which
ones
those
are,
we
could
talk
about.
What
that
engagement
should
look
like
sure.
A
All
right
well,
I
know
we
have
more
information
to
get
to
and
that
folks
are
waiting.
So
let's
keep
going
so.
A
A
We
are
bound
by
California
state
law
to
follow.
You
know
this
structure
of
this
meeting,
so
I'm,
sorry
for
the
inconvenience,
but
we're
going
to
continue
to
hear
from
our
vice
chair
once
or
our
chair
wants.
The
city
manager
gets
back.
T
Okay,
I'm
going
to
transition
to
Gateway
update
now
You.
You
mentioned
briefly
mayor
bringing
comments
to
our
joint
study
sessions
and
I.
Just
want
to
say
briefly
and
and
perhaps
I
should
have
to
the
full
Council
that
at
the
Planning
Commission
sorry,
is
that
better.
T
More
volume
on
this
mic,
okay
I
was
just
going
to
say
briefly
that
one
of
the
in
response
to
your
cue
to
bring
work
and
questions
already
to
the
meetings
at
the
Planning
Commission
that
was
pivotal
for
us
being
able
to
make
the
progress
we
did
so
I
just
want
to
double
down
and
say,
I
think
that's
a
great
idea
in
advance
of
our
joint
study
sessions.
T
The
Gateway
code
is
the
form-based
code
that
implements
implements
the
Gateway
plan
and
we're
now
referring
to
it
as
the
Gateway
code,
because
we
found
form-based
code
somewhat
confusing
for
the
public,
while
we
generally
had
several
weeks
to
months
to
review
and
consider
each
of
the
general
plan
elements,
including
the
Gateway
area
plan.
We've
only
had
the
Gateway
code
for
a
few
weeks
before
our
recommendation
was
made
on
the
11th.
T
While
we
did
recommend
the
Gateway
code
in
its
current
draft
form,
we
fully
anticipate
putting
in
additional
work
on
this
before
our
formal
recommendation
early
next
year,
as
we
were
seeing
on
the
slide
earlier.
We
also
look
forward
to
your
guidance
at
our
joint
study
sessions,
again
I'd
like
to
start
by
discussing
some
of
the
bigger
topics
that
the
planning
con
commission
considered
in
the
Gateway.
T
As
with
the
general
plan
elements,
we
appreciated
and
Incorporated
all
of
the
committee's
recommendations
in
our
recommend
in
our
recommendation,
with
one
notable
exception,
Building
height
has
consistently
been
a
major
issue.
On
the
Public's
mind,
some
people
think
we've
gone
too
high.
Others
not
high
enough.
T
The
first
draft
of
the
Gateway
area
plan
proposed
building
Heights
to
allow
up
to
eight
story
buildings
in
the
barrel,
District
seven
in
the
Gateway
hub
six
in
the
Gateway
Corridor
and
five
in
the
Gateway
neighborhood,
the
commission
recommended
reducing
the
maximum
height
by
one
story
in
each
district.
The
commission
would
very
much
like
input
on
this
from
the
council.
T
Staff
provided
several
Alternatives
and
the
majority
of
the
commission
believes
the
KL
couplet
should
be
retained
in
the
plan.
There
are
still
lands
that
need
to
be
acquired
in
priority
use,
questions
that
need
to
be
resolved
before
L
Street
can
be
used
for
this
intended
purpose.
But
if
we
do
not
State
our
intentions
now
we
will
not
have
the
policy
backing
to
pursue
this
option.
T
T
There
were
several
other
topics
that
were
also
of
concern
to
the
public
and
or
various
Commissioners
that
we
vetted
over
the
last
several
months.
These
include
Fire
Protection,
Services
geological
factors,
including
earthquakes
and
liquefaction
sea
level,
rise,
noise
issues,
affordable
housing
and
gentrification,
and
feasibility
to
name
a
few.
T
T
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
hand
off
this
body
of
work
in
its
draft
conditions
so
that
you,
the
ultimate
decision
makers,
can
start
your
review.
We
look
forward
to
follow-up
discussions
in
more
depth
on
these
matters.
I
wanted
to
close
this
evening.
By
reading
you,
the
action
the
commission
took
last
week,
the
Planning
Commission
recommends
the
policy
in
the
draft
general
plan
2045
dated
June
27
2023,
including
the
Gateway
area
plan
and
the
Gateway
code
dated
July
11
2023
as
amended.
T
The
commission
has
determined
that
these
versions
incorporate
policy
guidance
and
implementation
that
will
thoughtfully
guide
the
city's
development,
while
balancing
resource
preservation,
Public
Safety,
racial
equity
and
health.
The
commission
will
continue
to
undertake
more
specific
and
detailed
review
of
The
Gateway
code
and
is
able,
at
this
time
to
provide
policy
guidance
on
key
Focus
areas.
T
A
C
A
C
Fair
enough
good
call
Okay
so
go
ahead.
Really,
let
me
get
my
thoughts
together.
F
Thank
you,
Scott
I,
very
much
appreciate
I
know
we
have
three
new
Commissioners
and
you
guys
have
been
working
tirelessly
on
weekends
and
going
above
and
beyond
very
much
appreciated,
and
so,
and
also
thank
you
to
the
community,
who
has
also
been
110,
engaged
very
much
appreciated.
I,
I,
guess,
I
had
a
couple
questions.
F
The
L
Street,
you
said,
was
superior,
but
to
any
other
Alternatives,
but
I've
never
really
vetted
any
other
Alternatives
myself
I
have
asked
at
the
last
study
session
and
somehow
it
just
never
got
on
the
table
and
what
I'm
hearing
from
the
community
is.
They
would
like
to
hear
what
alternatives
before
we
say.
You
know.
Yes,
the
couplet
is
going
to
happen.
I
don't
feel
like
we've
really
vetted
that
process
and
also
I
would
like
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about.
F
F
I
have
questions
about
the
transportation
Safety
Committee
I
know
that
at
one
point
as
a
planning,
commissioner,
we
made
a
recommendation
when
I
was
in
the
on
the
Planning
Commission
and
our
recommendation
was
not
accepted
by
city
council
and
a
lot
of
folks
on
the
commission
were
like
well.
Why
are
we
here
and
I'm
hearing
that
also
from
the
Transportation
committee
like?
Why
are
they
working
so
hard
they're
volunteers
and
then
their
recommendations
are
thrown
out
the
window?
F
That's
not
my
verbiage,
that's
what
I'm
hearing
from
the
community
and
I'm
you
know.
We
have
1
000
over
a
thousand
now
signatures
on
a
petition.
The
people
are
speaking
and
saying
what
they
want,
so
I
guess:
I
I
know:
I've
been
watching
the
Planning
Commission
I've
been
hearing
the
deliberations,
I'm
just
confused.
A
F
A
Someone
to
I
just
I
want
to
be
like
we
haven't
made
any
decisions
on
any
of
the
I
mean
the
council
has
not
like
I
have
not
had
the
opportunity
to
provide
any
feedback
either
I
mean
we.
We
are
not
at
our
decision
making
point,
and
so
we
are
going.
You
know
forward
from
the
recommendation
of
the
Planning
Commission
from
that
document
of
recommendations
to
make
our
recommendations
and
adopt.
You
know
this
policy,
and
so
you
haven't
had
the
opportunity.
A
A
We
haven't
got
the
opportunity
yet
and
so
that's
why
we're
all
really
excited
to
get
that
opportunity
and
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
piece,
because
I
think
you
know
it
to
just
because
the
Planning
Commission
made
recommendation
I
think
it
mischaracterizes
it
to
say
that
we
all
think
that
that's
what's
going
to
happen
and
that's
the
recommendation
going
forward.
I
think
there's
a
lot
more
robust
discussion
to
take
place,
especially
on
these
issues.
That's
God
identified,
building,
High
Knoll
Street
couplet.
A
Looking
at
these
Alternatives
because
you're
right
I
mean
I
I
agree
with
you
100
we
haven't
seen.
You
know
what
those
Alternatives
exactly
look
like
built
out
yet
and
so
I
think
it
kind
of
mischaracterizes
it
to
say
that
you
know
we
don't
agree
with
that
or
we
want
to
go
forward
with
the
lnk
couplet,
because
we
have
not
had
the
opportunity
to
make
that
decision
at
all.
So.
F
T
Yeah
I
I
appreciate
your
question.
I
think
probably
it's
best
to
wait
to
dig
into
the
l1k
couple
until
we're
all
together
other
work
working
on
that
it's
a
complex
issue
and
one
that
was
something
we
talked
about
a
lot
on
the
commission,
so
I
I
think
I'll
leave
it
there.
The
public
can
view
and
be
a
part
of
our
discussions
together.
T
I
think
we
can
there's
so
much
to
get
into
I'd
like
to
wait
regarding
the
transportation,
Safety
Committee,
making
a
recommendation
to
the
Planning
Commission
or
the
Planning
Commission,
making
a
recommendation
to
the
city
council
I,
don't
see
it
as
a
fail.
If
we
don't
follow
the
recommendation
of
one
of
the
Committees
that
makes
recommendations
to
us
any
more
than
I
see
it
as
a
fail.
T
If
the
city
council
decides
not
to
move
forward
in
the
directions
that
we
recommend,
I
think
that
that's
just
the
natural
organic
process
of
working
through
this
from
the
subcommittees
to
the
Planning
Commission,
the
Planning
Commission
to
the
city
council.
That
is
what
happened,
but
I.
Don't
see
that
as
a
problem
I
see
that
as
the
way
the
process
is
designed.
Similarly,
I
think
it
can
be
difficult
when
sort
of
considering
public
comment
we've
taken
just
such
a
vast
amount
of
public
comment,
a
huge
amount
of
people
feel
this
is
the
right
direction.
T
A
huge
amount
of
people
feel
this
is
the
right
direction.
When
people
don't
get
their
sort
of
opinions
followed,
there's
a
sense
that
possibly
the
the
process
isn't
working
but
I
think
it's.
It's
really
a
matter
of
you
know
sort
of
perspective
at
moments
like
that,
so
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
trust
that
we'll
get
into
these
issues
further
as
we
work
together
in
our
joint
sessions
and
that,
ultimately,
as
the
final
decision-making
body,
you
will
make
a
decision
that
as
a
Planning
Commission,
we
will
support.
C
A
lot
of
anxiety
and
turbulation
about
the
couplet
and
I
I
would
like
to
make
a
recommendation
on
that
sooner
than
later.
Just
so,
I
I
just
feel
like
there's
a
lot
of
anxiety
about
it
and
I'd
like
to
talk
about
it
sooner
than
later,
and
have
it
maybe
be
one
of
the
first
focuses
of
our
study
sessions.
C
F
Mean
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
that.
Clarifying
I
know
that
Fred
had
mentioned
that
you
know
there
were
these
different
groups
of
people.
You
know
it's
not
going
to
make
a
difference.
So
what's
the
point
and
I
just
want
to
encourage
you
that
it
will
make
a
difference,
stay
with
us,
we'll
get
there
and
I
I,
don't
see
it
as
a
fail.
So
let
me
just
re-clarify
that
I'm
afraid
that
the
community
might
see
it
as
a
fail,
though,
that
they
came
to
an
open
house.
F
T
C
Okay,
so
some
of
the
other
things
that
I
would
like
to
talk
about
is
opportunities
for
home
ownership.
C
Looking
through
that
infill
study
plan,
I
know
that
was
something
that
was
called
out
of
something
very
important:
duplexes
triplexes
fourplexes,
so
I'd
like
to
talk
about
opportunities
for
that
I'd
like
to
talk
about
I,
know,
councilman
Stillman
has
brought
it
up,
probably
at
a
in
our
opportune
time,
but
I'd
also
like
to
talk
about
Condominiums
and
what
that
looks
like
I'd
like
to
revisit
our
Arena
numbers
and
look
at
the
amount
of
very
low
income
to
low
income
to
moderate,
to
above
moderate
housing
and
what
that
looks
like
because
and
then
what
else
and
parking
we
need
to
still
talk
about
that
I.
F
Concur
on
all
of
those
thank
you,
I
do
want
to
revisit
the
inclusionary
zoning
I,
don't
even
think
we're
close
to
getting
there
if
we're
looking
at
five
percent
and
I
believe
it's
three
percent
is
going
to
be
moderate,
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
and
then
it's
two
percent,
which
will
be
lower
extremely
low
right
now.
The
way
the
market
is
moderate
is
going
to
be
more
than
most.
F
People
in
our
city
can
even
afford
so
I
think
that
you
know,
and
it's
or
it's
not
it's
either
or
so
they
can
choose
a
developer
to
do
moderate
income
which
is
going
to
leave
the
rest
of
those
who
Who
Have
Nots
will
have
not
so
I
think
that
we
need
to
look
at
inclusionary
zoning.
There
are
cities
that
go
as
high
as
25
percent
I.
Don't
say
that
we
have
to
do
that,
but
but
five
percent
is
where
we
should
be
starting,
not
ending.
T
Probably
I
should
can
let
staff
weigh
in
more
on
this
or
we
can
talk
about
it
at
the
at
the
study
sessions.
But
one
of
the
things
we
were
aware
of
and
thought
about
a
lot
at
the
Planning
Commission
was
approaching
the
threshold
of
the
density
bonus
and
at
which
point
developers
would
just
elect
to
utilize
the
density
bonus
and
so
that
that
was
something
that
affected
those
kind
of
where
those
numbers
fell
and
part
of
our
recommendation.
So.
F
A
Okay,
all
right,
and
so
now
we
have
a
good
little
list
gathered
together
to
some
of
these
topics.
To
look
at
the
study
session.
That
was
again
another
item
I
was
hoping
to
to
generate
this
evening.
So
God,
do
you
have
anything
else
to
add
before
we
invite
back
Stacy
and
Alex
and
we
open
it
up
for
public
comment.
T
Just
last
thoughts
again
appreciate
on
the
chance
to
bring
this
to
you
and
I.
Think
it's
pretty
obvious
to
everyone.
Whichever
side,
you
fall
on
what
the
most
important
issues
the
highest
priority
issues
where
there's
the
most
need
for
more
engagement
are
and
as
we
plan
out
how
to
utilize
our
joint
sessions.
I
think
we
will
clearly
prioritize
those
issues
as
first
on
the
you
know.
First
on
the
dock,
so.
C
F
A
Right,
let's
get
Stacy
and
Alex
back
in
here
invite
Folks
up
for
comment.
A
All
right,
so,
if
you
do
want
to
make
comment,
please
make
your
start
making
your
way
to
the
podium.
If
you
are
able
and
line
it
up,
and
you
will
have
three
minutes,
we'll
start
with
in-person
comment
first
and
then
go
to
online,
we
will
not
be
going
back
and
forth.
So
if
you
would
like
to
comment,
please
begin
to
make
your
way
up
or
raise
your
hand
online.
Thank
you
for
your
patience,
sir.
Please.
V
Go
ahead,
my
name
is
Gil
Friedman
I'm,
a
resident
of
Arcata
for
over
30
years,
I
own
some
property
here
and
I
love
Arcata.
It's
got
the
best
weather
in
the
world.
I
feel
lucky
to
live
here
and
I
plan
to
continue
all
over.
The
world.
Communities
have
tried
to
take
crowded
sections
and
make
them
friendly
for
pedestrians,
and
we
have
one
already
by
Nature
L
street
L
Street.
For
those
people
who
like
to
take
walks.
L
street
is
a
gem
women
with
strollers
bikes,
cars
I
mean
dogs.
V
Everyone
walks
down
that
street
and
it
doesn't
lead
to
Nowhere
either.
If
you
go
to
Samoa
and
Jog
a
little
to
the
right,
there's
a
stoplight
there,
which
is
great,
says
cross
at
your
own
risk.
Vehicles
may
not
stop.
You
walk
150
yards
and
you're
in
brackish
Pond,
which
is
my
favorite
place
in
town.
You
could
be
five
ten
feet
from
a
great
blue,
heron
egrets
all
over
the
place,
and
you
can
walk
out
desperate.
It's
a
wonderful
place.
V
If
you
put
this
Loop
in
that's,
going
to
be
cut,
you'll
have
to
go
to
I
Street.
To
get
there.
I
can
walk
there
from
my
house
on
J
Street
I'd
like
to
say
another
thing
about
it:
the
idea
that
you
can
have
a
one-way
streets,
one-way
streets,
cross,
faster
traffic,
there's
been
study
after
study
of
have
a
straight
Lane
and
encourages
people
to
drive
fast
right.
Now
we
have
that
situation
already.
V
We
have
G
and
H
there's
a
whole
section
of
people
who
live
west
of
18th
Street
in
a
big
island
cold
there
and
those
people
have
to
cross
8th
Street
every
day
and
eight
at
nine
in
the
morning,
they're
taking
their
life
in
their
own
hands.
When
the
cars
come
off,
that
freeway
they
just
zoom
like
they're
right
on
the
freeway
again
I
live
by
17th
and
Jay
I
gave
up
trying
to
cross
eight
Street
I
go
to
16th
where
the
cars
have
to
stop.
V
So
if
you
want
to
have
cars
to
go
slower,
plant
more
trees
have
more
stop
signs,
but
don't
think
you're
going
to
solve
anything
by
making
one-way
Street
we've
already
ruined
H
Street
by
10
to
11
by
putting
these
big
flower
pots
in
them.
So
we
had
a
perfectly
two-lane
street
now
it
curves
to
one
lane,
and
you
have
to
turn
right.
It's
a
disaster
featured
by
our
Planning
Commission
Now,
all
the
stuff
about
the
houses
growing
up
in
Arcata.
It's
absolutely
true.
V
It's
also
true
of
every
city
in
the
state
of
California,
there's
no
exception
and
it's
for
the
state.
If
we
don't
do
something,
the
state
will
I'd
like
to
tell
you
about
my
experience
in
San,
Francisco
I
lived
there
during
the
60s.
They
were
going
to
build
freeways
everywhere,
27,
seven
miles
rip
out
the
Panhandle
do
all
that
and
all
the
Liberals
and
progressives
were
forth.
Governor
Brown
the
mayor,
one
guy
blink.
He
voted
against
it.
He
stopped
those
three
years
and
everybody
argued
that
hello.
V
We
don't
build
these
freeways,
the
state's
going
to
mandate
it.
We
have
the
right
to
stop
it
and
hope
we'll
find
out
Blake
to
stop
this
thing
because
I
think
it's
crazy.
You
don't
have
to
do
anything
with
L
street.
It's
perfect
the
way
it
is
it's.
A
gem
God
gave
it
to
us
by
accident.
Let's
keep
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
W
Sir
hi
everybody
when
he
was
born,
we
brought
him
back
to
where
we
lived
on
8th
Street
and
the
L
Street
Park
was
the
nearest
park
to
us.
You've
got
the
plaza,
but
obviously,
to
run
around
a
bit.
L
Street
was
pretty
preferable.
A
lot
more
room.
I'd.
W
Also
ask
you
to
consider
the
eventual,
maybe
when
he's
older,
great
Redwood
Trail,
which
will
terminate
there
it'll
be
kind
of
odd
if
it
just
like,
suddenly
stops
abruptly
right
when
it
gets
to
Arcata,
which
I
think
would
be
at
the
end
of
the
marsh
right
so
like
it
would
end
at
Samoa,
which
is
kind
of
a
high
traffic
area,
to
say
the
least.
In
addition,
anybody
who
bikes
will
tell
you
that
a
separate
Lane
is
always
going
to
be
the
safest
option.
I
mean
if
we're
sharing
a
street.
W
It's
never
going
to
be
as
safe
as
having
something
separate
like
that
bike
path
and
the
more
we
cultivate
a
reputation
as
being
a
bike
friendly
City.
The
more
folks
will
be
moving
here.
With
that
in
mind,
like
Davis
California,
everybody
knows
Spike
friendly
students
move
there.
They
know
to
bring
their
bikes,
not
their
cars
I'll
leave
it
there
thanks.
P
I'm
Earl
Krauss,
let's
see
oh
hi,
I'm
Merle
Krauss
I
feel
like
I'm
coming
into
I'm,
just
so
afraid
of.
What's
going
to
happen,
I
think
it
was
via
magazine
listed,
the
top
10
most
desirable
towns
in
to
live
in
in
the
United
States
and
Arcata
was
one
of
them.
It's
not
going
to
be.
If
you
do
the
eight
Story,
the
fill-ins,
it's
not
going
to
be
it's
not
going
to
be
desirable.
P
It's
going
to
be
more
like
Oakland
by
all
the
places
that
people
have
left:
Oakland,
Berkeley,
San,
Fran,
a
lot
of
San,
Francisco
and
L.A
came
here,
because
Arcata
was
special
and
it's
all
those
buildings,
eight
stories
and
they're.
The
other
thing
to
think
about
top
tall
buildings,
I
mean
I'm
from
I
lived
in
Sonoma
County
30
years
in
Santa.
Rosa
is
a
big
city
and
they
built
one
eight-story
building
and
they
said
no
way,
and
there
are
no
Santa.
P
Rosa
is
a
nice
city
and
there's
no
there's
nothing
taller
than
four
stories
and
I'm
just
wondering
one
about
the
a
liquefaction
Zone,
the
tsunami,
Zone,
the
water
level.
I
think
these
are
problems
with
high
rises.
That
Mo
I
don't
think
we
want
and
how
will
sewage
be
handled
and
where
will
the
Shadows
of
the
buildings
fall?
Will
they
will
they
shade
existing
homes
or
businesses,
especially
those
relying
on
solar
panels
or
their
roofs
or
our
what's
nice
about
Arcata
is
the
view
we
we
all
have
views
of
Humboldt,
Bay
and
I'm.
P
Just
thinking
this
plan
seems
to
go
is
going
to
change
the
whole
face
of
the
of
of
the
Town.
Not
only
that,
but
I
went
to
law
school
and
a
criminal
law
teacher
May
Express
the
fact
that
crime
goes
up
with
the
population,
but
not
with
the
number
the
same
number.
It
goes
up
and
exponentially
the
more
dense
you
have
people,
the
more
crime
goes
up
exponentially,
do
the
do.
We
have
the
infrastructure
for
the
police
to
really
handle.
P
What's
going
to
happen,
and
all
these
and
and
the
idea
of
oh
some
people
don't
even
want
cars.
Well,
a
lot
of
people
are
older.
Like
we've
come
to,
we've
moved
to
Arcata,
our
kids
went
to
Humboldt
State,
and
we
said
this
is
a
really
nice
place
to
live.
It's
very
Humane
comfortable
place
to
live
and
a
lot
of
people
70s
80s
we're
going
to
all
hop
on
our
bikes
to
go
to
Safeway
and
get
our
groceries.
P
I
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
if
that's
so
realistic
that
that's
going
to
happen
so
I
just
want
you
to.
Please
consider
you
know
a
lot
of
the
people
that
live
here
and
moved
here,
and
just
because
they're,
not
here
and
they're,
not
ex
you
know,
jumping
up
and
down
like
I
am
doesn't
mean
that
we
don't
feel
that
we
moved
here
because
we
love
this
place
and
it
will
change
irrevocably.
I've
lived
in
towns
and
I've
seen
them
change.
White,
Rock,
British,
Columbia
I've
seen
them
change
with
the
growing
buildings,
and
it's
just
been.
P
M
P
U
Hi
I'm
Alan
ringer
I'm,
a
city
of
arcade
resident
and
I'm
engaged
on
various
Community
issues.
Them
I
want
to
speak
today
in
support
of
retaining
the
L
Street
Corridor
as
a
pedestrian
and
bicycle
pathway.
I.
U
Have
a
difference
of
opinion
regarding
that
being
developed
as
a
as
a
High,
Street,
Truck
Road,
and
the
ability
to
maintain
those
those
features
that
are
provide
pedestrian
to
foot
traffic
Corridor
there.
It's
the
one
spot
that
exists
like
that
through
Arcata,
and
conversion
of
that
would
be
a
would
be
a
loss
for
Canada
I'll
mirror
some
other
comments
that
were
made.
I.
U
Think
the
Statewide
effort
to
bring
the
great
Redwood
trail
from
here
down
to
Mendocino
County,
confining
that
in
Arcata
to
you
know
to
a
you
know,
kind
of
curbside
fast
road
truck
road
is
not
consistent
with
what
I
want
Arcata
to
have
as
a
component
of
the
great
Redwood
Trail.
That's
my
comment.
Thank
you.
X
Hi
I'm
Jillian
I,
live
in
Arcata
recently
bought
a
house
in
Arcata
but
moved
here
probably
almost
10
years
ago,
and
we
were
stationed
at
the
the
RV
park.
That's
in
town
and
the
linear
Park
was
the
closest,
safest
place
that
I
could
walk.
My
dogs
and
so
I
always
walked
my
dogs
there
and
then
you
know,
as
years
went
on
I
opened
a
child
care
and
I
know
many
families
who
head
over
to
the
creamery
District
area
for
all
the
fun
and
games
and
the
different
activities
that
happened
there.
X
X
You
know
I
wasn't
here
when
it
was
on
G
Street,
but
I
certainly
don't
think
that
it
would
be
a
place.
I
would
choose
if
there
was
a
huge
Street
running
through
you
know,
and
it
just
seems
like
a
big
mistake
to
try
to
have
that
kind
of
traffic
running
through
town.
When
you
know
some
of
us
here
are
Avid
bikers
and
we
bike
the
critical
mass
and
there's
been
probably
four
deaths
in
the
last
year-ish
just
with
our
25
mile,
an
hour
zones
that
sounds
scary.
That
sounds
scary
enough.
X
It's
already
kind
of
scary
to
bike
around
town.
Knowing
that-
and
you
know,
I-
don't
typically
Bike
by
myself.
Just
because
of
that,
you
know
and
then
thinking
again,
I'm
I
live
down
in
the
green
view,
neighborhood
and
I
love
my
two-story
house,
where
I
can
look
out
and
see
the
hills
and
I
know
many.
Other
people
can
see
the
hills
and
the
Bay
from
you
know
their
two
stories
or
their
one
story,
even
depending
on
where
you
live,
and
if
we
shoot
up
a
bunch
of
buildings
everywhere,
that's
going
to
be
nil.
X
X
You
know,
like
I,
said
some
of
the
folks
here
were
all
Avid.
Bikers
we've
got
our
kinetic
machines
with
a
slew
of
people
outside,
and
you
know
you
get
across.
X
X
Maybe
we're
not
all
here
right
now,
but
the
last
30
to
50
people
that
I've
spoken
to
about
this
in
Arcata
have
no
idea.
What's
going
on
and
it's
time
to
like
raise
our
voices
and
make
sure
people
have
a
say.
Thank
you.
Y
Good
evening
my
name
is
Aaron:
I
have
own
a
home
near
the
creamery
District
I
work
in
the
creamery
District
I,
recreate
in
the
creamery
District.
It's
become
a
home
and
it's
a
beautiful
place
to
be
because
there's
not
a
lot
of
traffic.
The
plaza
is
not
fun
anymore.
There's
a
lot
of
traffic
there's
a
lot
of
folks
disturbing
the
piece
there,
but
that
little
Creamery
district
is
a
hub
of
art.
I
got
into
the
kinetic
World
we're
building
down
there
doing
neat
stuff.
Y
So
many
people
and
children
come
down
that
area
to
play.
I
work
with
adults
with
developmental
disabilities
in
the
community
with
a
few
other
people.
Here
we
do
very
strong
work
in
the
entire
neighborhood.
We
landscape
three
of
the
sites.
In
that
area.
We
ride
the
Rails
to
Trails
for
recreation,
every
Friday
in
a
bike
group
and
then
they're
learning
how
to
ride
a
bike
before
because
there's
no
cars,
it's
a
very
safe
place
to
ride.
We
wrote
a
grant,
got
some
cargo
vessels.
Y
So
now
our
adults,
the
developmental
disabilities,
are
able
to
Pedal
around
on
the
Rails
to
Trails,
to
get
back
and
forth
to
work
they're
in
command
of
their
own
Steed.
They
absolutely
love
it.
It's
awesome,
I
feel
like
taking
that
away.
Was
it's
like
a
bad
chess
move?
If
you
go
forward,
don't
go
back.
Y
Y
Z
Z
That's
along
L,
Street
I,
don't
really
feel
safe
riding
my
bicycle
around
traffic,
and
that
was
the
perfect
path
that
I
could
get
through
town
to
the
marsh,
to
many
beautiful
places,
to
the
plaza
with
while
feeling,
safe
and
being
separated
from
traffic,
and
please
do
not
take
that
away
from
us
I'm,
not
the
only
one
that
feels
that
way.
Another
thing
is
that
I
live
on
a
one-way
Street
I
live
on
H
Street
on
18th
and
people
fly
by.
Z
So
please
do
not
add
more
fast
on
Safe
Streets
for
the
pedestrians
and
cyclists
here
also,
I
would
like
to
say
say
that
you
say
that
you
have
to
make
the
couplet
for
pedestrian
safety,
but
I
don't
understand
how
turning
you
know,
making
a
one,
fast,
chaotic
streak
into
two
fastcadic
streets,
how
that
is
safe
for
pedestrians
they
now
to
go
from
the
plaza
to
the
cremeu
district
instead
of
Crossing
one
Street,
that's
really
busy
you're
going
to
turn
it
into
two
streets
that
are
really
busy.
Z
So
how
I
just
can't
conceptualize
how
that
is
making
it
safer
for
the
pedestrians
and
the
cyclists
I
love
the
city.
You
know
changes
are
always
hard.
We
want
to
resist
change,
but
please
that
is
a
gem
for
the
city.
We
could
enhance
it,
make
it
better.
You
know
it's
something
that
will
bring
people
here.
It's
something
that
we
can
say
is
special
about
here.
So
please
don't
take
that
away
from
us.
Thank
you.

Hello,
my
name
is
Ann
Anderson
I've
been
an
Arcata
resident
for
about
20
years
and
I
wanted
to
speak
on
the
conversion
of
the
L
Street
to
a
one-way
Street
for
through
traffic
I.
Understand
K
is
busy
and
may
be
unsafe,
but
why
take
L,
which
is
large,
A4,
pistachians
and
bikes,
entered
it
into
another
busy
and
potentially
unsafe
street
street
for
cars?
Why
do
we
prefer
cars
over
people
in
in
bicycles,
instead
of
it
said
make
it
I
think
it's
probably
possible
to
make
K
more
safe?
AA
If
that
is
an
issue
which
may
be
maybe
more
stoplights,
maybe
bumps,
but
I,
think
you
could
slow
down
okay
and
make
it
more
safe.
There's
several
things
you
could
do.
The
other
thing
is
over
on
L
there's
a
little
nebulous.
You
know
the
creamery
buildings
that
a
lot
of
cute
little
shops
in
there
now
I
could
see
if
there's
the
linear,
Park
you're
going
to
attract
more
small
businesses,
and
it
could
be
a
magnet
for
economic
development
for
small
businesses
in
that
that
whole
District,
which
be
really
really
nice.
AA
The
other
thing
I
have
to
say
that
the
last
few
weeks
there
are
the
marsh
has
been
inaccessible
because
of
development
in
there,
and
so
my
husband
and
I.
He
needs
a
walker
to
walk
more
than
you
know
a
few
hundred
yards,
and
so
we
found
that
the
the
Bikeway
on
L
Street
has
been
just
a
wonderful
place.
We've
been
going
over
there
to
walk
now,
and
so
I've
kind
of
just
rediscovered
just
discovered
it,
but
we
didn't
have
a
play
that
we
could
really
walk
quietly
and
safely
without
having
the
marsh
open.
AA
AB
I'm
so
grateful
for
all
of
you
for
all
the
work
that
you
do.
You
don't
see
my
face
because
I've
trusted
you
since
1974
is
when
I
moved
here,
and
all
I
really
want
to
say
is
that
when
I
lived
in
France,
you've
got
Central
beautiful,
beautiful
cities
in
the
central
parts
of
most
of
them
and
they
are
ringed
by
8
9
10
story.
You
know
because
they're
trying
to
solve
where
to
put
people
and
those
things
are
disgusting
to
live
in,
I've
lived
in
them.
They're
harsh
they're,
anti-human,
they're,
very,
very
difficult.
AB
AB
We
moved
here
because
it's
a
human
place
to
live
eight
stories,
Square
buildings-
these
are
not
human,
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
providing
more
opportunity
for
a
lot
of
people
to
say
we
love
Arcata
the
way
it
is,
and
it's
not
I
mean
yes,
it
has
to
change
because
we're
going
to
grow.
But
how
are
we
growing
so
thanks
for
providing
those
questions
of
Alternatives
and
models,
and
can
we
help
The
Architects,
make
it
a
more
humanly
designed
building.
AB
J
Yes,
good
evening,
I'm
Fred
wise
this
week's
Mad
River
Union
has
a
pretty
good
set
of
articles
on
the
Gateway
plan
and
issues
with
L
Street
Kevin
Hoover
notes
that
the
city's
official
image
for
the
cars
shown
on
L
Street
and
the
image
is
his.
His
word
imperfect,
The
Carter
shown
very
small
on
the
image
they're
the
size
of
sub
compact
cars,
size
of
a
Honda
Fit
smaller
than
a
Toyota
Corolla
five
and
a
half
feet
wide.
J
J
There's
a
some
people
feel
that
me
calling
the
L
Street
as
a
truck
route
is
quote
a
little
much.
The
city's
Transportation
element
and
general
plan
calls
K
Street
at
truck
route.
L
Street
would
also
be
a
truck
route
in
this
case.
There
is
a
question
that
that
all
this
will
take
a
long
time.
Foster
Avenue
took
17
years.
There's
no
comparison
whatsoever.
I've
got
two
articles
on
a
k
to
one
for
L.
Street
has
many
many
existing
homes,
businesses,
Apartments
Foster
Avenue,
was
pretty
empty.
J
I
want
to
know
why
we're
not
seeing
3D
modeling
of
potential
designs
and
build
outs.
Now
is
the
time
absolutely
now
the
discussion
from
the
community
development
director
of
explanation
about
why
it's
not
happening
I,
don't
think
holds
water.
We've
already
seen
good
3D
modeling
in
stuff
that
articles
building
a
massing
presentation
has
good
3D
modeling.
The
studies
that
we've
seen
have
have
none
the
discussion
of
setbacks
and
step
backs
would
benefit
tremendously.
J
I've
mentioned
this
before
the
other
considerations
table.
There's
a
question
of
creating
a
separate
District
where
the
creamery
District
does.
It
was
brought
up
by
the
former
chair
of
the
Planning
Commission.
It
was
brought
up
by
23
signatories
from
the
Arcata
Playhouse
group
is
listed
as
a
public
member.
It's
not
a
public
member
who
brought
this
up.
It
was
the
former
chair
staff
says
that
this
will
be
respectful
considerate
of
the
unique
site.
They
recommend
that
this
be
conveyed
in
form-based
code,
we've
seen
nothing
in
the
form
base
code
about
this
Urban
field.
J
Studies
I
think
they
botched
their
first
report.
I've
written
to
you
about
this
hiring
them
to
do
an
economic
analysis.
I
think
is
folly
calling
this
bike
path
that
could
be
along
a
road
on
L
Street
as
a
linear
Park
is
disingenuous
to
the
extreme.
It
has
nothing
to
do,
calling
that
a
linear
park
has
nothing
to
do
what
everyone
here
has
been
talking
about.
As
a
linear,
Park,
Home
Ownership
I'll
talk
about
this
separately,
Humboldt
Association
of
Realtors
has
called
for
10.
We
don't
see
anything
at
this
time.
Thanks.
I
Grandma
Gary
and
my
father
taught
me
that
history
is
really
important
to
understand
history
of
a
place
and
I
did
not
live
in
Humboldt,
County
or
Arcata
when
the
previous
General
plan
was
being
created,
but
I
just
want.
We
have
a
lot
of
transition
lately
with
a
lot
of
council
members
and
commission
members.
You
know
it's.
The
last
few
years
have
been
one
of
transition
of
people
sitting
in
those
seats
and
making
decisions.
I
Previously,
apparently,
the
general
plan
had
over
100
I,
don't
know
what
the
exact
number
was.
Citizens
involved
in
different
committees,
working
on
the
general
plan,
I,
don't
know
why
this
time
around
citizens
are
not
as
involved
and
citizens
are
just
becoming
aware
of.
What's
going
on,
and
you
know,
I
I,
don't
know
what
the
excuse
is,
but
how
this
has
all
come
down
to
these
final
months
of
determining
the
fate
of
our
community.
I
We
are
talking,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
about
a
climate
crisis
and
fossil
fuels
fueling
that
crisis
and
we're
now
talking
about
cars,
we're
spending
so
much
time
dealing
with
cars.
The
future
is
not
going
to
be
about
cars.
People
I,
don't
care
what
you
want.
It
cannot
be
about
cars
if
we
want
to
survive.
I
We
are
still
a
small
rural
college.
Town
I
really
want
more
College
involvement
in
our
city
and
vice
versa.
We
need
to
be
much
more.
Holding
hands
and
working
together
than
it
seems
to
appear
that
we're
doing
now,
but
I
understand
with
the
great
Redwood
Trail.
This
is
something
new
on
the
horizon
and
we
really
need
to
take
that
into
consideration
and
some
of
these
other
broader
ideas,
so
I'm
going
to
go
over
and
see
Mike
McGuire
at
the
baseball
game
and
talk
to
him
about
the
linear,
Park.
A
G
I
was
hesitating
because
there's
so
many
good
things
coming
out,
but
I
just
thought,
I'd
round
things
out
a
little
bit.
Yeah
I
do
appreciate
commissioner
Davies
just
his
straightforwardness
about
things.
The
Planning
Commission
has
made
the
canal
cut,
but
a
goal
in
seeking
funding
and
design.
You
know
and
at
a
previous
Cal,
planned
kind
of
mission
meeting.
We
received
a
brief
presentation
on
alternatives
for
safety
options
for
K
Street.
Those
appeared
who
have
been
shelved
in
favor
of
continuing
to
preserve
the
canal,
couplet
or
Pursuit.
G
L
Street
Pathways
is
a
primary
active,
Transportation
Corridor
in
Arcata,
a
part
of
the
Humboldt
Bay
Trail
and
great
Redwood
Trails,
everybody
has
stated
the
couplet.
You
know
it
promises
to
pave
over
the
greenway
portions
of
the
L
street,
with
asphalt
where's,
the
promise
of
less
car-centric
active
transportation
for
the
Gateway
District,
also
known
as
the
creamery
District.
G
L
Street
rails
with
Trails,
you
know
utilize
the
corridor
back
in
2015
when
it
was
established.
G
What
we're
asking
for
now
is
to
further
utilize
further
utilize
the
corridor
by
enhancing
it
into
a
linear
Park,
not
degrading
it
into
a
truck
route.
It's
a
logical
next
step
with
rails
and
trails
or
for
a
future
infill
to
make
the
best
possible
use
of
the
space
of
the
corridor.
I
recommend
encouraging
frontages
on
the
corridor
to
be
treated
as
Community
benefit
or
even
better.
G
Yet
the
advantages
be
considered
a
requirement
or
possibly
just
work
it
in
something
with
the
housing,
so
it
all
works
out
and
allow
it
to
expand
that
space
and
make
it
the
best.
You
know
space
going
through
and
possibly
the
best
part
of
the
Great
Redwood
Trail,
it's
primarily
a
class
one
Trail,
as
is
almost
all
the
humble
Bay
Trail,
and
you
know,
it'll
be
reduced
to
class
4
Trail
path
with
basically
a
barrier
next
to
it.
G
At
best,
our
creator
will
be
going
through
Growing,
Pains
I,
think
the
park
can
offer
some
respite
from
that
and
then
just
finally,
you
know
solar
shading
recommendations
have
recently
been
you
know,
discounted
by
the
Planning,
Commission
I
hope
to
revisit
those
and
do
better
on
it.
In
addition,
you
know
just
ignoring
frontages
I
think
are
were
offered
out
also
within
the
Gateway
draft,
and
those
have
been
walked
back
and
I
mean
one
of
the
very
great
places
the
frontage
is
could
be.
G
You
know,
dedicated
is
definitely
along
that
corridor
and
anyway,
the
solar
shading
is
an
issue
and
I
feel
like
that's
also
been
discounted,
but
I'll
say
that
for
another
time,
thank
you
appreciate
everybody.
A
Right
anybody
else
in
person
we
will
not
be
going
back
and
forth
now's
your
chance
all
right.
Let's
check
on
Zoom
all.
K
Right
we've
got
one
person
on
Zoom,
go
ahead;
Jane.
AC
A
A
AC
You
know
when
we
do
the
ollie
Brown
Bag
lunches.
We
always
test
things
in
advance
to
make
sure
they
work.
You
might
consider
doing
that
in
the
future.
I
just
I,
don't
want
to
reiterate
things.
AC
I've
said
in
the
past
and
other
people
have
said
to
think
about
the
old
case,
Street
Park
and
one
of
your
parks
that
you
don't
need
to
hear
them
again,
but
it
is
a
gem,
but
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
Commissioners
who
have
done
so
much
work
on
this
and
their
patience
in
listening
to
many
of
us
who
have
come
repeatedly
because
we
weren't
sure
we
were
being
hurt.
AC
So
thank
you
for
all
those
who
have
participated
and
thank
you
to
the
council
and
I
know.
Many
of
you
have
been
watching
the
Planning
Commission
meetings
and
reading
our
emails,
which
we
also
send
to
you
and
our
public
comment
and
it's
a
lot
of
work.
We
realize
it's
a
lot
of
work.
We
hate
having
to
repeat
ourselves.
We
wish
there
was
some
magic
way
around
it
that
you'd
know
and
and
be
able
to
acknowledge
or
get
any
our
comments
and
taking
them
into
consideration.
AC
It's
simply
that
it's
not
always
obvious,
so
we
end
up
being
redundant
for
that.
We
apologize,
but
it's
important
that
you
hear
so
I'm
going
to
wish
you
best
of
luck
with
handling
this.
We
won't
get
the
new
draft
until
the
end
of
July
and
then
we'll
be
able
to
sit
down
and
look
at
it
and
determine
what's
left
out,
and
there
are
more
Planning
Commission
meetings
coming.
That
will
also
address
some
of
these
issues
that
have
been
discussed.
Thank.
AC
A
Thank
you,
Jane.
Those
were
good
words
of
encouragement.
Okay,
all
right!
Do
we
have
any
other
Zoom
commenters
or
just
the
one
we
do
not
okay,
well,
I
will
bring
it
back
to
the
council
for
any
last
minute,
wrap
them
up
thoughts,
however,
again
avoiding
Gateway
discussion
now
that
we're
all
back
together,
but
if
you
want
to
tie
it
up
with
a
bow,
if
anybody
has
anything
or
we.
M
C
Planning
Commission
so
much
thank
you
staff.
Thank
you,
everybody
for
your
public
comment.
We
are
listening
to.
We
haven't
made
any
decisions
left
and
we're
really
really
looking
forward
to
getting
together
and
discussing
it.
So
we
really
appreciate
you
all
the
new
faces
that
are
here
tonight.
Speaking
your
truth.
We
really
appreciate
that.
So
thank
you.
So
much.
A
A
I
think
we're
leaving
well
stay,
I
mean
they're,
leaving
if
they
want,
but
we're
going
to
have
oral
and
Communications
staff
report.
We
got
dates
of
future
meetings,
but
please
feel
free
to
leave.
If
you
would
like
to
leave
no
pressure,
there
is
a
baseball
game,
we're
all
trying
to
get
to
that
baseball
game
too.
All
right
Joanne
beat
us
there
oral
Unwritten
Communications
again.
This
is
for
items
that
are
not
on
the
agenda
this
evening.
A
Please
know
that,
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
the
council
cannot
discuss
or
take
action
on
items
not
listed
on
the
posted
agenda.
At
the
end
of
communications,
Council
May
respond
to
statements.
A
J
I'll
try
to
keep
it
not
on
the
agenda.
First
I
want
to
say
thank
you.
Thank
you
to
staff.
Thank
you
to
the
Planning
Commission.
Thank
you
to
the
council.
It's
been
a
long
process
and
we're
still
in
the
middle
of
it.
J
As
part
of
the
framework
there's
a
table
of
other
considerations
of
things
that
are
not
included
in
the
plan,
the
their
staff
recommendations
and
there's
a
column
for
Planning
Commission
recommendations.
J
In
a
recent
weeks,
staff
put
in
the
column
for
Planning
Commission
recommendations
that
they
concurred
with
staff
I,
don't
think
that
was
good,
I
think
that's
a
bad
thing
and
I've
written
about
this.
J
The
director
explained
that
these
are
things
that
staff
would
have
expected
them
to
say,
but
there
is
nothing
in
the
staff
report
that
indicated
that
so
either
there
has
to
be
something
that
indicates
that,
or
has
to
be
yet
another
column,
the
some
of
the
votes
taken
off
the
Planning
Commission
level.
We're
done
on
a
three
to
three
basis,
and
it
was
originally
hoped
that
there'd
be
much
more
of
a
consensus
than
that.
But
that
was
not
the
case
and
many
important
things.
D
S
J
A
K
AC
All
right
here
we
go
I
just
realized
after
what
Fred
said
that
I
forgot
to
thank
Steph
staff
has
been
amazing
in
doing
as
much
work
as
they
have
I
know.
You
have
so
much
on
your
agenda
and
I
think
you
actually
do
amazing
work.
All
things
considered,
I'm,
not
always
happy
with
how
things
are
managed
or
maneuvered.
Let's
put
it
that
way.
At
the
same
time,
I
think
the
process
that
you
came
up
with
to
manage
the
discussions
and
the
decision
making
in
the
Planning
Commission
was
very
productive.
AC
B
A
Thank
you,
Jane
good
luck,
yeah
we're
gonna
I,
don't
know.
Do
we
need
it?
No,
okay,
that
takes
us
to
the
end
of
oral
and
written
Communications.
That'll.
Take
us
to
council
and
staff
report
staff.
Do
you
have
anything
for
us
this
evening?
We
do
not
all
right.
Well,
then,
we'll
quickly
go
through
Council
reports,
and
some
of
us
want
to
make
it
to
the
baseball
game.
So
let's
keep
it
to
the
really
exciting
important
ones.
I
think
we
started
at
this
end
last
time.
So,
let's
start
with
Alex
this
time
and.
M
M
A
M
M
M
Thank
you
because
I
think
we
need
housing
for
all,
not
just
affordable
I
mean
we
need
Workforce
housing,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
other
people
to
take
care
of.
The
other
thing
is
I
I
wanted
to
mention
is
that
the
Cal
Poly
just
came
back
from
Australia,
and
they
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
in
at
the
DAR
in
Darwin,
at
Darwin
University
in
Australia,
and
my
understanding
is
it's
a
very
similar,
not
size
wise.
M
They
have
tall
buildings
that
are
probably
over
eight
feet
stories,
even
though
we
only
say
seven,
but
they
have
very
large
buildings
there,
but
it's
a
community
that
has
much
of
the
environmental
sensitivity
that
we
have
and
I
think
that
they'll
be
invited
to
come
over
to
Cal
Poly.
It
might
be
something
that
we
may
want
to
as
a
city
think
about
having
another
sister
city
so
I'm,
just
bringing
that
up
and
then
listening
and
saying
all
this
stuff
about
bikes,
bikes.
F
I'll
go
fast
because
I
know
everybody
wants
to
go
to
the
game.
I
just
want
to
say
that
kuna
had
a
successful
tiangi's.
It
was
probably
five
times
as
big
as
it
was
last
year.
Live
music
and
more
I
attended
a
homeless
housing,
homeless,
housing
meeting
with
the
city,
and
there
were
some
updates
on
safe
parking
which
will
go
to
the
end
of
the
month
in
September
and
there's
some
updates
on
grants
that
are
in
progress.
F
Hopefully
that
will
continue
the
safe
parking
program
on
6
26
I
attended
as
a
city
liaison
the
Redwood
region,
Economic
Development
commission.
We
received
an
awesome
presentation
from
Nick
with
co-ed,
which
is
community
organizations
and
active
disasters,
I'm
hoping
to
identify
some
possible
Partnerships
for
future
disaster
preparedness
and
recovery
on
628.
Our
space
had
their
Arts
night
for
the
on
how
this
community's
playing
all
of
the
projects
that
they
did.
F
It
was
their
last
hurray
kuna
also
had
another
successful
cleanup
on
7-3
I
got
to
attend
the
Fourth
of
July
2,
believe
so
hats
off
to
the
chamber
and
zero
waste
I
will
be
attending
an
arcade
house
partnership
board
meeting
tomorrow
and
I
will
report
back
next
council
meeting.
There
is
a
walk:
Dan
burden,
walk
audit,
this
Saturday
7
22
from
10
to
12.
It
starts
at
the
corner
of
9th
and
L,
we'll
finish
at
the
Arcata
Playhouse.
F
A
All
I
have
thank
you,
Kimberly
I
know,
I,
don't
have
too
much
to
add.
Rcea
adopted
a
budget
that
was
about
it
at
our
last
meeting
and
not
till
next
week.
I'll
be
back
with
them
and
just
to
add
yeah.
The
Fourth
of
July
Jubilee
was
wonderful.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
volunteer,
there
was
a
ton
of
people
out
having
fun
and
it
was
a
great
day
and
the
crabs
won.
So.
C
Also
I'm
on
the
board
of
Humboldt
made
so
I
just
want
to
mention
the
Friday
night
markets
are
still
going
on
they're,
going
on
until
October
they're
huge
now
I
know
it's
a
Eureka
event,
but
there
are
a
ton
of
arcata-based
businesses
that
are
vending
there.
The
theme
this
Friday
night
is
80s
night,
so
I
will
be
there
volunteering
and
talking
to
all
the
businesses.
There's
lots
of
live
music
and
great
fun
so
come
on
out.
Thank.
O
You
so
I
just
want
to
expand
a
little
bit
more
on
that
walk
with
Dan
burden,
so
hcog
the
board
that
I
in
one
of
my
assignments
that
I
serve
on
is
I'm
hosting
him
in
collaboration
with
the
other
communities,
so
that
we
can
all
share
his
wisdom
and
I.
O
Don't
you
know,
he's
focusing
on
K
streets
and
11th
streets
in
the
walk
and
I'm,
really
I'm
kind
of
bummed
that
everybody
left,
because
there
was
a
lot
of
concern
about
K,
Street
being
somehow
tied
into
the
L
Street
couplet,
which
to
my
knowledge,
is
absolutely
not
the
case
and
that
maybe
we
have
forgotten
and
we
aren't
focusing
on
K
Street
I
live
on
K,
Street
I
know
the
problems
on
K
Street,
and
it's
not
an
accident
that
you
know.
Dan
is
focusing
on
K
and
11th
our
very
busy
streets.
O
So
we
do
hear
you.
Staff
does
hear
you
and
that's
a
great
example
of
that,
and
there
is
continuing
music
and
vendors
and
fun
on
the
Plaza
on
Sundays
from
11
to
4..
There's
always
a
band
that
starts
at
12
and
there's
food.
Also,
lots
of
things
to
do
down
there
so
just
encourage
people
to
check
that
out.
That's
it
for
me.
A
Right
and
with
that,
we
have
our
upcoming
study
session
I,
don't
think
the
date
was
on
here:
August,
22nd,
okay,
good
I'm,
glad
that's
committed
to
my
memory.
So
we'll
see
you
guys
here
for
the
study
session
on
Tuesday,
August,
22nd
and
I.
Guess
we'll
have
a
council
meeting
before
then
too.
So
thank
you
folks
and
the
meeting
is
adjourned.
