Village Housing – Meeting with Stakeholders and Upcoming Council Meeting

Background.  In August, 2018, the Arcata City Council voted against the proposed Village Student Housing Project. Among other considerations, opposing members indicated they would consider approval if the project included a mix of student purpose-built and unrestricted, open-market housing.

Stakeholder Meeting.  On January 30, 2019, City Community Development staff hosted an informal meeting to communicate project revisions; allow stakeholder participation in working groups to provide feedback on various components of the revised plan; and discuss the City process for reconsideration.

There was no public comment period; Council members were not in attendance, and no formal action was taken.  The purpose was to provide information and receive input for the Council’s consideration.

The meeting was recorded, and can be viewed below, and at the City's YouTube page.  All written comments were collected and assembled for the upcoming Council meeting on February 6, 2019, where the Council will consider whether to re-initiate review of the revised project.  The Council will not take any action on the project at this meeting.

If re-initiated, the Council will subsequently hold additional meetings to consider approval of the project. If the revised project is approved, the Planning Commission will then hold a meeting to consider the General Plan consistency in disposing of St. Louis Road to the owners.

Revised Project Information:  The following information is now available for review:
