I’m writing to express my support of the Gateway Plan, Gateway Zoning Code, and General Plan amendments being considered for recommendation to the City Council. The extremely hard work by City Staff and Commissioners over the
last 18 months is commendable, and will have a long lasting positive impact, not just on Arcata residents, but to all
residents of Humboldt County.
I support a recommendation to the City Council to approve the proposed Gateway Plan, Gateway Zoning Code, and
General Plan amendments. If possible, I also encourage recommendations that:
 Increase allowable density to help ensure the full benefits that come from high density infill development are
realized, to the benefit of all Arcata residents
 Explicitly remove minimum parking requirements
 Support streamlined permitting of high density infill development that meets the requirements of the Gateway
Plan and Zoning Code
 Encourage permitting requirements, costs, and timelines be made as clear and transparent as possible to ensure
successful development projects
Respectfully,
Jerome Qiriazi
