Dear climate-attuned Arcata Resident.
The Gateway Area Project has the potential to incorporate many of the features of urban life that will be necessary to change to more climate-friendly transportation and housing. During Covid, the efflorescence of “slow streets” in many cities led to higher quality urban living. 350 Humboldt urges you to get involved with Gateway so you can be a knowledgeable voice in the decision-making process in Arcata and as these changes are considered all over. Here is the latest opportunity.

“The Arcata Community Development Department is in the process of scheduling more public engagement opportunities through the Summer, including opportunities for the public to learn more about next steps in developing a form-based code for the Arcata Gateway Area.
“The first presentation in this series was recorded on June 29th, 2022, and is available for review on the City’s YouTube page, here. This meeting included an hour-long presentation from the City’s design consultant, Ben Noble, as well as 30 minutes for general Q&A from the public following the presentation. Please consider reviewing this presentation in advance of the August 16th workshop.
“The second presentation in this series will be held August 16th, from 6-8 p.m., also via zoom. The meeting will be recorded and will be available on the City’s Youtube channel. This meeting will include additional information from the City’s design consultant, Ben Noble, and will cover additional design standards proposed to regulate building scale and massing, as well as additional information on proposed building heights by zone and community benefits.
“This meeting will include virtual polling and participants will be asked to weigh in on building standards, in order to provide additional information to the City Council and Planning Commission in advance of the joint study session scheduled for the evening of August 23rd.
