Zoning Compliance Tables and Map

Zoning Compliance Tables are used by City staff to ensure a proposed project meets zoning standards.  You can use them to ensure your project meets standards before submitting a project for review.

You will find your Arcata Land Use Code zoning designation on the right hand side of the property information sheet.

Then, choose use the tabs below to find detailed development standards for your zone.  If you have any questions, please get in touch with a planner by calling 707-822-5955.

  2. Insert an address in the top left search field
  3. Open the Layer List.
  4. Place a check in “Land Use-General Plan” then “Zoning (LUC)”
  5. Place a check in the "Zoning (LUC)" box. You should see the map turn different colors which represents the different zoning districts.
