The first “Notice of Availability” contained a typographical error on the date when this EIR was expected to be adopted.
The PDF for the first “Notice of Availability” document has a document date of 1/19/24, 11:22:04 AM. It states: “The Arcata General Plan 2045 is anticipated to be adopted in late 2022.
Six days later, in a document dated 1/25/24, 9:17:22 AM, the “revised” version emerged, with the corrected information:
The Arcata General Plan 2045 is anticipated to be adopted in late 2022 early 2024.
The error in itself is small. But it unfortunately is a further example of the general sloppiness we’ve seen in important figures over these past two years.
