Agenda packet, first session — Arcata City Council, August 19, 2026 (part 2 of 2)

Exhibit 1

FINDINGS OF APPROVAL
I. FINDINGS.

Findings for Planned Development Permits. The City Council, as the review authority shall ensure that the project complies with City of Arcata – Land Use Code (Code) Section 9.72.070.G – Findings for Type “B” Planned Development Permits.
1a. The proposed project carries out the policies and intent of the General Plan, Local Coastal Program and any applicable specific plan;
The project is not located within the Coastal Zone, and no specific plan applies. The site is within the Arcata Heights Neighborhood Conservation Area and therefore warrants heightened review with respect to design and aesthetics.

While the project includes minor deviations from site development standards identified in the City’s Land Use Code, it is consistent with and advances the policies of the General Plan. In particular, the project’s intent to rehabilitate a significant local historic resource supports City policies related to historic preservation, adaptive reuse, and housing preservation and rehabilitation.

In addition, the development of a new single-family residence and accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on the resultant lot supports City objectives for housing production, particularly for moderateand above-moderate-income households—demographics that are often the most challenging to accommodate within the City’s urban footprint. The project will provide new and improved housing opportunities in close proximity to the university, employment centers, and transit, consistent with City goals related to infill development and the efficient use and preservation of natural resources.
1b. The proposed project is in compliance with all of the applicable provisions of this Land Use Code;
This finding is not required for Type “B” Planned Development Permits. 1c. Proper standards and conditions have been imposed to ensure the protection of the public health, safety and welfare;
The project consists primarily of the rehabilitation of an existing structure and the development of a new single-family residence and detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU). This type of project presents limited potential for adverse public impacts. However, two specific aspects of the proposal have been analyzed and addressed in relation to public health, safety, and welfare.

First, the site’s underlying soil conditions were evaluated due to its location within a mapped Alquist-Priolo Fault Zone. The applicant was required to assess potential geologic hazards prior to submitting a complete application. A geotechnical evaluation was prepared and reviewed by a qualified third party, which concluded that no active fault is present on the site. A condition of approval has been included requiring the identification of any areas of backfilled soil on the site plan at the time of development, to allow the Building Official to determine appropriate foundation design.

Second, the applicant proposes to retain the existing historic garage, which will straddle the resultant property line. To ensure safe and functional shared use of the structure, a condition of approval has been added, consistent with the Building Official’s recommendation, requiring the installation of a firewall along the property line within the garage to separate it into two distinct spaces. An additional condition requires the recordation of a shared responsibility agreement between the property owners.

The project proposes vehicular access from the rear of the property. The design and configuration of parking and access will be subject to review by the Planning, Building, and Engineering Departments at the time of building permit submittal.

With these conditions in place, the project is not anticipated to result in any adverse impacts to public health, safety, or welfare.
1d. The proposed project will not circumvent the intent of protecting Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas or significant historic resources, and consideration will be given to impacts on areas with steep slopes, waterways, wetlands or riparian areas, or significant cultural or historic resources; and
The proposed project will not circumvent the intent of protecting environmentally sensitive habitat areas or significant historic resources. Consideration has been given to potential impacts on steep slopes, waterways, wetlands, riparian areas, and cultural or historic resources.

The project does involve a designated local historic resource that is listed on both the local landmark register and the National Register of Historic Places. However, appropriate measures are incorporated to ensure its continued protection. Proposed modifications are limited to rehabilitation activities that are consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards. The Historic Landmarks Committee has reviewed the submitted historic report and work plan, and the applicant has retained a qualified local historian and contractor to oversee the rehabilitation and provide technical guidance. The Committee recommended approval of the project and expressed support for the proposed scope of work.

The site does not contain any known sensitive biological resources and is located on an infill parcel within a developed area of Arcata. As such, no impacts to significant environmental resources are anticipated.
1e. The subject site is adequate in terms of size, shape, topography and existing conditions to accommodate the proposed development.

At this time, the proposed development is limited to the subdivision of the existing 11,000- square-foot parcel into two lots, one of which will be substandard in size by approximately 500 square feet. This deviation is within a reasonable range from applicable site development standards and remains sufficient to accommodate the proposed development. The resulting lots are consistent in shape and dimensions with other parcels on the block.

The site is relatively flat and does not contain significant physical constraints that would preclude development. Although the property is located within a mapped Alquist-Priolo Fault Zone, a fault evaluation report has been prepared and reviewed by a qualified third party, concluding that no active fault is present on the site.

Page 116 of 223 ends

This Planned Development Permit also establishes the framework for future development of a single-family residence and an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on the resultant lot. Subsequent development will be subject to separate design review, as well as building permit review by the Planning, Building, and Engineering Departments, and will be required to comply with all applicable City standards related to site and building design.

Based on these factors, the site is considered appropriate for the proposed development. 2a. All findings listed for Type "A" Planned Development Permits in Subsection

9.72.070.G.1, above, except for G.1.b;
2b. The proposed project meets the intent of all applicable provisions of this Land Use Code relating to both on-site and off-site improvements that are necessary to accommodate flexibility in site planning and property development and to carry out the purpose, intent, and requirements of this Section and the respective base zoning district, including prescribed development standards and applicable design guidelines;
The proposed project is consistent with the intent of all applicable provisions of the City’s Land Use Code related to both on-site and off-site improvements necessary to support flexible site planning and property development, and to implement the purpose, intent, and requirements of the applicable zoning district, including prescribed development standards and design guidelines.

As discussed above, the project advances the intent of the City’s development policies by allowing limited modifications to site standards in order to facilitate a high-quality infill project in close proximity to employment and transit. The project also provides the added benefit of rehabilitating a significant local historic resource. The site is located within the Arcata Heights Neighborhood Conservation Area and is zoned Residential Density. The typical minimum lot size within this zone is 6,000 square feet; however, existing code provisions allow for lots as small as 4,000 square feet, provided that the parent parcel is of sufficient size to achieve an average lot area of 6,000 square feet.

The proposed subdivision would divide the existing approximately 11,000-square-foot parcel into two lots, one of which would be slightly below the standard minimum lot size. As discussed previously, this deviation is within an acceptable range. Additionally, the surrounding neighborhood includes numerous substandard lots that were established prior to the adoption of current Land Use Code requirements. As such, the creation of a modestly substandard lot in this context will remain consistent with the established development pattern and urban rhythm of the area.

It is also noted that the City is currently evaluating updates to the Land Use Code, which may include reductions to minimum lot size requirements. Under such future regulations, a project of this nature may not require a Planned Development Permit. Based on these considerations, the proposed project is consistent with the intent and applicability of the City’s development standards and is appropriate for the site.

Page 117 of 223 ends

2c. The proposed project is designed to ensure compatibility with adjacent uses within the zoning district and general neighborhood of the proposed development; The current project is limited to the subdivision of an existing parcel, along with associated amendments to the historic designation and zoning map, and establishes a general allowance for the future development of a single-family residence and an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). At this time, specific architectural designs for the proposed structures on the resultant lot have not been finalized or submitted.

Future development will be subject to a separate design review application, which will be considered by the Planning Commission or Zoning Administrator to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses and neighborhood character. In general, the development of a single-family residence within a residential zoning district is not anticipated to result in land use incompatibilities. Additionally, the project site is located in North Arcata, in close proximity to the university and the Northtown Commercial District, an area characterized by a relatively active and urban environment. The addition of two residential units is not expected to significantly alter the overall character of the neighborhood.

Aesthetic considerations, including building design, massing, setbacks, and landscaping, will be evaluated during the design review process. A condition of approval has been included to guide future development on the resultant lot and ensure consistency with applicable standards. This condition is intended to facilitate a streamlined review process—avoiding the need for a Planned Development amendment—while ensuring that future development remains compatible with the surrounding area and does not create a false sense of historical development. 2d. The proposed project will produce a comprehensive development of superior quality (e.g. appropriate variety of structure placement and orientation opportunities, appropriate mix of structure sizes, high quality architectural design, increased amounts of landscaping and open space, improved solutions to the design and placement of parking facilities, etc.) that might not otherwise occur from more traditional development applications;
The proposed project is modest in scale compared to typical Planned Developments, which are often utilized for larger subdivisions or sites with substantial physical constraints. In this instance, the Planned Development Permit serves as a tool to allow limited flexibility from standard development requirements in order to achieve a higher-quality overall project.

The project will facilitate a thoughtful site layout, including appropriate variation in building placement, and will support high-quality architectural design. Importantly, the flexibility afforded through the Planned Development framework also enables the rehabilitation of an existing historic resource, an outcome that may not be financially feasible under strict application of standard development regulations.

As s a result, the project is anticipated to yield a superior development outcome that balances preservation, design quality, and efficient use of the site, consistent with the broader goals of the City’s planning policies.

Page 118 of 223 ends

2e. The proposed exception is justifiable and will result in a more desirable development, and development amenities are provided as identified in Subsection H. The possible exceptions listed in Subsection B (Applicability) may be allowed when the review authority first determines that a specific exception will result in a more desirable development; and
A Planned Development that includes exceptions to the requirements of the Land Use Code must provide development amenities that offset those exceptions to an equal or greater degree, as determined by the review authority. The Land Use Code identifies examples of such amenities, including the provision of housing affordable to moderate-, low-, or very low-income households; enhanced open space or landscaping; superior architectural or site design; and, where feasible, the restoration of environmentally sensitive habitat areas.

In this case, the primary community benefit resulting from the project is the rehabilitation of the on-site historic resource. This resource is of recognized local significance, and its preservation and restoration provide a substantial public benefit. The rehabilitation effort, which is consistent with established historic preservation standards, ensures the long-term viability of the structure while maintaining its historic character.

Accordingly, the preservation and rehabilitation of this historic resource constitutes a meaningful project amenity and offsets the requested deviations from development standards, consistent with the intent of the Land Use Code.
2f. Proper on-site traffic circulation and control is designed into the development to ensure interconnectivity with neighborhoods (i.e. vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle), and protection for fire suppression and police surveillance equal to or better than what would normally be created by compliance with the minimum setback and parcel width development standards identified in Article 2 (Zoning Districts and Allowable Land Uses).

The proposed subdivision will result in a parcel that can reasonably accommodate development in compliance with applicable setback requirements and other relevant development standards.

The lot configuration is sufficient to support the anticipated residential uses while maintaining consistency with the surrounding neighborhood pattern.

Project referrals were distributed to the Police and Fire Departments, and no comments or recommended conditions of approval were received. As discussed above, the project is consistent with the scale and scope of typical single-family residential development. Future development on the resultant lot is limited to one single-family residence and one accessory dwelling unit (ADU), which represents a modest increase in residential density.

Given the limited scale of the proposed development and the absence of concerns from public safety departments, the project is not expected to result in adverse impacts related to public services or neighborhood compatibility.

Findings for Tentative Map Approval. The City Council, as the review authority shall ensure that the project complies with City of Arcata – Land Use Code (Code) Section 9.81.060– Findings required for Tentative Map Approval. The findings shall apply to each proposed parcel as well as the entire subdivision, including any parcel identified as a designated remainder in compliance with Map Act Section 66424.6.

1. The proposed subdivision, including its design and improvements, is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan;
The proposed residential subdivision to create one additional residential parcel is consistent with Arcata General Plan based on the following analysis.

Land Use Element
The subdivision is consistent with the land use policies as the property is located in a designated residential low density land use classification. A single family residential structure and ADU are being contemplated at this time, but will be reviewed as part of a future design review permit, and would comply with the intended use and density of the Residential-Low Density zone.

Growth Management Element
The project is proposed within the City’s Urban Services Boundary with urban services (water, wastewater, and utilities, fire and police protection) available to serve the proposed residential subdivision. The project does not induce growth that was not anticipated in the General Plan.

The project will not require the development of additional infrastructure that will place undue burden on the City’s resources in the future. The proposed subdivision design takes into consideration the existing structures, land uses, utilities and access.

Transportation Element
The project meets the General Plan (GP) Transportation policy T-2a as the project increases the density of the properties within the Urban Services Boundary (USB) thus, lessening the pressure to develop properties outside the USB. The property is located in close proximity to the core downtown area and Cal Poly Humboldt, creating desired infill in close proximity to jobs and transit. The site is within ½ mile of public bus service.

Public Facilities and Infrastructure Element
The project is consistent with GP Public Facilities and Infrastructure policies. The in-fill subdivision project is located within the City’s Urban Services Boundary. All utilities (water, wastewater, gas, electricity, telecommunications services) are existing on the site or available in close proximity to the site. The project area is served by the City of Arcata Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The project area is already served by the City’s public potable water system. The project will not require the development or expansion of additional water, wastewater, stormwater, solid waste or recycling facilities. Each resultant parcel shall ensure utilities are located on their own respective parcel or have easements to serve those needs.

Housing Element

Page 120 of 223 ends

The proposed Residential Low Density in-fill subdivision will create one additional low density parcel consistent with housing element policies.

Recreation Element
The proposed residential subdivision results in two parcels. Arcata Land Use Code §9.86.030 – Park Land Dedications and Fees requires the applicant to participate in the development and maintenance of City recreational facilities. Based on the Parcel Map subdivision, a standard Condition of Approval requires the applicant to make a fee payment in lieu of parkland dedication.

Open Space Element
The project is consistent with the GP Open Space policies. Any future land uses or development on either resultant parcels will be reviewed for compliance with the applicable development, building code, and state standards. The subject parcel does not have any known land use hazards such as earthquake faults, flood zones nor environmentally sensitive habitat areas that are subject to open space policies.

Resource Conservation & Management Element
The project is consistent with the GP Resource Conservation and Management policies based on the lack of environmentally sensitive habitat areas on or within the immediate vicinity of the subject parcel. There are no wetlands, creeks, or other wet areas on or near the site. The project is not located near the Arcata Community Forest or other forested lands.

Air Quality Element
The proposed subdivision within the City’s Urban Services Boundary is consistent with the Air Quality GP policies as it reduces vehicle miles travelled. The property is located in close proximity to the core downtown area and Cal Poly Humboldt, creating desired infill in close proximity to jobs and transit. The site is within ½ mile of public bus service.

Design Element
The project is compatible with the design of residential, low density development. All the existing structures are part of the neighborhood character. New development will be reviewed for design compatibility as part of a future Design Review application.

Historical Preservation Element
The proposed residential subdivision is located in a designated Neighborhood Conservation Area, and involves a National Landmark Property. The project involves significant repair and rehabilitation is this resource and the project is supported by the findings of the prepared Historic Report as well as the Historic Landmarks Committee. New development will be reviewed for design compatibility as part of a future Design Review application. A standard inadvertent discovery Condition of Approval is included to protect any discovered tribal cultural or historic resources. Based on the above, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Historical Preservation Element policies.

Public Safety Element

Page 121 of 223 ends

The project meets the intent of GP Public Safety policies. According to the City of Arcata General Plan Hazards Map – Figure PS-a (revised), the project area for the subdivision has none of the following hazard constraints:
1) Earthquake Potential Active Fault;
2) Moderate or High Liquefaction;
3) Flood Zone;
4) Matthews Dam Failure;
5) Hillside Development (Slopes > 15%).

The site was mapped as being within the Alquist –Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone per General Plan Hazards Map – Figure PS-a, but a site-specific geologic review determined the site does not contain an active fault. A subsequent and site plan showing the backfill/trench area will allow the Building Official to determine if additional soils review will be required at the time of building permit submittal.

The project is also consistent with the GP Public Safety Policies as the proposed parcels will be served by the Arcata Fire Protection District and the Arcata Police Department. Furthermore, the residential subdivision and permitted uses do not include the routine use of hazardous materials.

The property is within the Residential-Low Density (R-L) zone which has a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. The approval of the substandard lot size also results in modifications to two other site standards which require flexibility in this case: minimum lot size, and allowed site coverage/floor area ratio (FAR). Minimum lot width in the R-L zone is typically 60 feet, but width be reduced to 30 feet where the review authority determines that a lesser proposed width is sufficient to ensure safe and adequate access and parking. In this case, the resultant lots will be

52.5 feet and 47.5 feet, respectively. This reduction is considered appropriate in this case, as the lot will otherwise be configured similar to the reminder of the block with no irregularities in shape that could create a public hazard or nuisance. The reduction from 60 foot minimum to

47.5 and 52.5 feet is relatively minor and will still allow for construction of a single-family structure with similar bulk and massing to surrounding structures.

Noise Element
The residential subdivision and permitted uses are generally not considered as a source for the generation of excessive noise. The project may generate temporary, short-term and intermittent noise during any required subdivision improvements. However, General Plan policies and Code standards restrict the hours of construction in order to limit the noise impacts to nearby residences.

2. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development; Based on the discussion above, the Zoning Administrator finds the site physically suitable for the type and proposed density of the development. The proposed Parcel Map subdivision meets Code Residential Low Density zone development standards and Code §9.88.030 subdivision

Page 122 of 223 ends

design and improvement requirements, with the exception of minimum parcel size, as discussed above.

The subject property is located in a typical residential Arcata neighborhood within close proximity to the downtown core. The area has a unique mix of residential (low to medium density), parks, schools and quasi – public uses nearby. The project site is served by public utilities and roads. The site is appropriately zoned and designated for the intended use. The project meets the parcel dimension requirements of the General Plan and Land Use Code. There is adequate infrastructure, including alternative transportation infrastructure, to support the small infill subdivision.

3. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements will not cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat; The proposed subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. There are no environmentally sensitive habitat areas located on or within the vicinity of the project site. The subject property is served by full urban services. There are no off-sight improvements required. Referral comments from departments and agencies did not identify any potential environmental impacts from the proposed subdivision.

4. The design of the subdivision and type of improvements will not cause serious public health or safety problems;
The subdivision will not cause serious public health or safety problems based on the Public Safety Element discussion above. The applicant proposes to retain the existing historic garage, which will straddle the resultant property line. To ensure safe and functional shared use of the structure, a condition of approval has been added, consistent with the Building Official’s recommendation, requiring the installation of a firewall along the property line within the garage to separate it into two distinct spaces. An additional condition requires the recordation of a shared responsibility agreement between the property owners.

5. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. This finding may also be made if the review authority finds that alternate easements for access or use will be provided, and that they will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This finding shall apply only to easements of record, or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, and no authority is hereby granted to the review authority to determine that the public at large has acquired easements of access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision;
The property is not encumbered by any known existing easements for public use. Therefore, the subdivision will not have any conflicts with public easements.

6. The discharge of sewage from the proposed subdivision into the community sewer system will comply with any applicable requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board;

Page 123 of 223 ends

The project will use the City’s wastewater treatment system. The project will pay connection fees and usage fees to support maintenance and operation of the facilities. The subdivision wastewater service connections will comply with applicable requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.

7. A preliminary soils report or geological hazard report indicates no adverse soil or geological conditions and the subdivider has provided sufficient information to the satisfaction of the City Engineer or other applicable review authority that any adverse conditions will be corrected in the plan for the development; and The site is relatively flat and does not contain significant physical constraints that would preclude development. Although the property is located within a mapped Alquist-Priolo Fault Zone, a geotechnical evaluation was prepared and reviewed by a qualified third party, which concluded that no active fault is present on the site. A condition of approval has been included requiring the identification of any areas of backfilled soil on the site plan at the time of development, to allow the Building Official to determine appropriate foundation design.

8. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable provisions of this Land Use Code, any other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code, and the Subdivision Map Act.

Although the proposal includes minor deviations from development standards in the Land Use Code related to minimum lot size, site coverage, and floor area ratio, the proposed project is consistent with the intent of all applicable provisions of the City’s Land Use Code related to both on-site and off-site improvements necessary to support flexible site planning and property development. The project complies with all applicable provisions of the Municipal Code and the Subdivision Map Act.

Findings for Environmental Review. The City Council, as the review authority shall ensure that the project complies with City of Arcata – Land Use Code (Code) Section 9.78–Environmental Impact Assessment- Findings required for Exemptions from CEQA:

The project qualifies for California Environmental Quality Act exemptions pursuant to Section 15331 (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) and 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption). Class 31 consists of projects limited to repair and rehabilitation of historical resources in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings. The applicant has provided a proposed scope of work that includes significant repairs to a significant historic structure; these repairs are supported by the project’s qualified historian and are supported by the Historic Landmarks Committee.

Page 124 of 223 ends

Typically minor subdivisions of land would qualify for a Class 15 exemption (minor land divisions); however, as exceptions to site standards are required per the definition of this exemption, it would not apply in this case. However, an evaluation of the whole of the project allows staff to make s common sense finding as the requested exceptions to standards are minor in nature, align with General Plan policy, support infill development and preservation of a significant historic resource, and do not involve any of the unusual circumstances leading to potentially significant effects that may otherwise prohibit the lead agency from making a finding of no significant effect as outlined in section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines (exceptions to Categorical Exemptions).

Exhibit 4-Proposed Scope of Work Pursuant to Subdivision of Property

Page 131 of 223 ends

WHALEY HOUSE

PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK PURSUANT TO

SUBDIVISION OF PROPERTY
My wife, Linda Lucchesi, and I, Nick Lucchesi, have entered into a sales agreement with the owners of the Whaley House at 1395 H St. to purchase the southern 47.5’ of the property, subdividing it from the northern portion of the property containing the house. The property line takes in about 8.5’ of the freestanding garage along the alley; that building will remain intact, except for a fire rated wall on the property line, work to subdivide the electrical aspects of the building, and a new door and window on the east face. The building official verbally approved this plan, pending actual plans to be submitted.

We are paying the property owners $225,000 for the property. The intent is to use that money to upgrade the exterior of the building, specifically:

1. Removing some expedient items that were added in recent years (the wooden gas pipe flue on the west face of the two story portion of the building is an offender)

2. Strip and paint the entire house

3. Replace in kind some of the exterior siding

4. Replace five main beams in the underfloor area and treat the underfloor area for pests.

5. Replace or rehabilitate damaged skirting boards.

6. Fence the new property line with something appropriate, to be determined.

7. Separate the garage at the property line, per above.

8. New roof for garage.

There is no plan or date for new construction on the property yet; that will be handled in a future application. We understand that we are in a Neighborhood Conservation area, and that there will be guidelines.

We are requesting approval of a substandard lot size and relief from some of the fees. Our and the Thonsons part of the bargain is to make the Whaley House shine on the exterior and do structural and pest work that will ensure that it stands for years to come as an asset to the neighborhood.

Please let me know if additional information is needed.

Sincerely,
Nick Lucchesi

Draft ORDINANCE NO. 1590

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCATA MODIFYING

THE WHALEY HOUSE LANDMARK HISTORIC PROPERTY COMBINING ZONE (LHP-80-31) ON ASSESSOR PARCEL NUMBER 021-093-004
WHEREAS, on July 2, 1980, the City Council (“Council”) for the City of Arcata (“City”) adopted Ordinance 950 whereby, among other properties, the property located at 1395 H Street, Arcata, CA, (APN 021-093-004) containing the structure known as the “Whaley House”, was designated a local historic landmark No. LHP-80-31 and received the Landmark and Historic Preservation combining zone; and
WHEREAS, the Whaley House was also nominated to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979; and
WHEREAS, to raise capital to maintain and preserve the Whaley House, the owners have proposed to subdivide the oversized lot, sell the newly created vacant lot, and invest the proceeds from the sale into critical structural and cosmetic repairs and renovations; and WHEREAS, the Whaley House owners’ proposal would require a modification to the 1980 landmark language, which cites the “ample side yard” as a feature to be preserved, despite the lack of evidence that this feature is important to the historic context of the structure; and WHEREAS, preservation of the “side yard” would preclude subdivision and reinvestment through the requested modifications to the Landmark Ordinance that the applicant is seeking, and the property owners will better be able to conserve the meaningful aspects of the historic resource under the requested modifications to the Landmark Ordinance; and WHEREAS, Policy HP-6b of the City’s Historic Preservation Element of the General Plan 2045 encourages incentives to owners of historic properties to financially support preservation, and the proposed project is a privately financed incentive that will substantially preserve the Whaley House for generations to come; and
WHEREAS, the owners provided an Historic Report assessing the impact of the proposed projects, the Report indicates the project as outlined meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, and the modification and project as outlined in the action for planning permit number 256-016-PM-PDP will not negatively affect the integrity of the historic resource; and
WHEREAS, on May 12, 2026, the City of Arcata Planning Commission adopted Resolution No.

PC-26-03 recommending that the City Council approve a Planned Development Permit, amend the LHP zoning designation, and approve the restoration and rehabilitation of the Whaley House; and

Introduction
The Historic Whaley House is again stepping into its future through another preservation and rehabilitation project. The lot split will separate off the south side yard (specified in the 1979 National Historic Register of Historic Places (National Register))1 with the north half of the parcel that occupies the historic house and most of the garages. The original house, garages and smaller side yards will remain on the National Register.

An excerpt from the 1979 National Register states:
“The house is recommended for placement on the National Register because its architecture is significant to the community, its history is only five years short of covering the same time span as Arcata's history, and National Register status will aid in its restoration and preservation.” Arcata has a rich history of grand houses, generations of lot splits and infill construction throughout this neighborhood. Modernization of the current parcel will provide a new dwelling in the Arcata Heights Neighborhood Conservation Area, helping City’s goals of new housing through infill (like ADU’s), while preserving significant historic resources. The iconic Whaley House property, structures and sidewalk/picket fence streetscape will continue to welcome everyone entering historic Arcata on 14th & H Sts.

The house was moved to its current site in 1903. Two decades later the garage structure was built next to site of an earlier small barn and early rendition of garage documented on 1919 and 1928 Sandborn maps.

Purpose of the Report
This historic resource report documents the current property and includes significant historical information as context. The report accompanies an application packet to split the lot, proposing the creation of a new and separate parcel with a new residential dwelling. The request to remove the local historic landmark designation from the vacant parcel is critical and includes the commitment to stabilize, conserve, and rehabilitate the historic structures (house and garage). The recommendation of the local historic landmark Ordinance suggests to retain the side yard as a “feature to be preserved”. The new approved plan will retain a portion of the side yard to the south of Whaley 1 Submitted by former historian expert, Susie Van Kirk (Van Kirk), see National Register Nomination in attachments

Whaley House Historic Resource Report, Bill Hole, November 2025 2 House (though smaller), and an equal portion north of the future constructed house, including returning a short picket fence dividing the new parcels. (visible in 1979 photo). 2 Communication
with State Historic Preservation Office confirms “that having a property listed on the National Register does not prevent a private owner from altering the property. The local jurisdiction retains land use authority, so authorization and guidance on the process would be up to the city or county, as appropriate.”3
The multi-garage structure, constructed in the 1920’s (appears on 1928 Sanborn Map) will remain intact. The southerly 1/3 of the building will be legally partitioned off onto the new lot, per new lot line adjustment, while not altering the building exterior and context.

The design and footprint of the new residence have not been completed, and will fit the vacant lot appropriately while maintaining yard space on all sides, and designed to be sympathetic to the surrounding neighborhoods. The Design Review and Planning process will require further specific details.

Preservation Objectives
As a treatment of historic preservation, defined in the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (Standards), Rehabilitation is defined as the act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values.

Rehabilitation/Stabilization work will utilize the State Historic Building Code (SHBC) and the Standards as a guiding reference.

Preserving the Whaley House structures and sidewalk frontage that identify this property requires a thoughtful rehabilitation strategy. 45 years ago the house was registered as an historic structure. The property owners plan to conserve the original structures, while establishing a viable financial plan to allow success.

The proposed lot split meets several goals, which include:
1) Create a new city infill lot in Arcata to design and construct a new functional, safe, and energy efficient residence with compatible design criteria will fit into this diverse and historic neighborhood of Arcata. (see drawings next page)
2) The sale of and splitting off a half-lot of the property will raise the significant funds necessary to cover the City fees, associated costs, and an extensive structural stabilization and rehabilitation of the Whaley House, ensuring a continued safe use for many decades ahead. The focus on stabilization/rehabilitation efforts will be on the post-and-pier foundation system and the exterior façade and fenestration, roof surfaces and drainage systems, plus the site landscape improvements. Heating/ventilation, electrical, and plumbing system upgrades will be addressed per needs to modernize the mechanical systems.
3) The garages on the west side of lot bordering the alley will also benefit from the funding to fix and repair in-kind building components and create a usable space for both properties. A City approved firewall and interior building modifications are included in this project that will allow the building to remain intact and provide modern interior upgrades per rehabilitation plans. 2 1979 National Register nomination form, Van Kirk

Brief History of the Property
This property has a history of changes relative to structures being added before and after the Whaley House was moved onto the lot in 1903. The 1900 Sanborn map demonstrates that a smaller 2-story building was originally in the NE corner and by 1903 the current house appeared. Decades later the garages were constructed that still remain today.4 The 1979 photo (above) validates a short picket fence splitting the yard then, as is planned again as a result of this project.

Excerpts from 1979 National Register application include:
“Of Greek Revival design, the Whaley House is a one-and-a-half story, front-facing gable structure with a one-story rear section. Facing east, the front facade has two, six pane casements in the upper story and two, eight-pane casements and an off-centered front door in the lower story. An open veranda, supported "by four tapered posts on square piers, extends across the front of the house. Returned eaves and a wide molded frieze provide classic detail.

Page 143 of 223 ends

Whaley House Historic Resource Report, Bill Hole, November 2025 4 Both the south and north sides have a four-window bay with bracketed cornice and panels below the windows. Twelve-pane, double-hung windows are present in the lower story on the sides and in the upper story in the rear facade. Construction is of redwood, siding is clapboard, and there is an exterior brick chimney on the rear facade.

The one-story kitchen section has porches on both the north and south sides.

Twelve-pane, double-hung windows are also present in this section and the siding is the same as the main portion of the house. At right angles to this rear section is a gable-roofed, one-story addition with a rabbeted three-step siding.

The house is located on a corner lot which extends 100 feet to the alley at the rear and has a frontage of 115 feet. The side yard on the south recalls an earlier time with its cherry and apples trees. A low picket fence extends across the front of the property and along the north side. On the alley at the rear of the property is a three-car garage with several small additions.

In 1903, the Whaley house was owned by Walter Wiley who wanted the house removed from the lot in order to build a new house, which can be seen in the 1908 Sanborn Map (see in attachments). It was purchased by the Charles W. Hill family and moved from its original 918 14th St. location on the north side of l4th Street between "I" and "J" streets to the present site at the southwest corner of 14th and "H" Streets, approximately a block and a half east of the original site.5 As noted in the Arcata Union, “It is the intention of Mr. Hill to move the house with his furniture in it, and thus stave off the trouble and expense of making two moves. The old barn now standing on the corner of the north lot will be turned around and moved to the back part of the lot.”
Today the neighborhood contains mixed housing types including: bungalow, modern, turn-of-the century, and settlement era.

The house is currently in a fair condition and is currently occupied as a three-apartment rental by CalPoly Humboldt University students. However, the current owners intend to begin immediate structural repairs (foundation and roof) and, as soon as possible, undertake exterior restoration and interior renovation, per financial availabilities. The new owners plan to rebuild the front porch to include a roof balustrade and square posts with simple capitals, replace the foundation skirting, remove the garage additions, repair the picket fence, clean up the overgrowth in the yard, paint the exterior white, and renovate the interior. The building's setting, including the old orchard trees, side yard, picket fence, and surrounding neighborhood, support the character and qualities of this early settlement house.” 6

Page 144 of 223 ends

Whaley House Historic Resource Report, Bill Hole, November 2025 5 Construction History
The Whaley house was constructed by John A. Whaley in 1855. He died in 1888 and the house was later purchased by W.J. Wiley from his widow, Emily Southard Whaley. Wiley sold it to Charles Hill who moved to its current location in 1903. As visually observed in the 1883 photo (previous page), this building is observed in a mid-block location versus on the corner to the east where it was moved in 1903.

Research for this report suggests that excerpts from 1979 National Register narrative are not consistent with the 1900 Sanborn Map that demonstrate alterations already in place. “Exterior alterations to the original main house after 1903 include the two side slanted bays, which appear to have been added at the time the house was moved in 1903….and the front porch which no longer has its roof balustrade and may have different posts. Alterations to the kitchen section include the addition at the rear and north/south-side porches, which has been partially enclosed.”7 Front porch columns and structural repairs of rotten/deteriorated materials was accomplished around 20108. The porch roof balustrade was reconstructed, as it was missing at time. Photographic evidence from 1979 California Historic Resources Inventory submitted by Susie VanKirk demonstrate that repairs were consistent to the Standards. More detailed construction history was not available at time of report.

Sanborn Fire Insurance maps were researched to verify changes through time of this property and structures. At time of report, the earliest 1900 date shows evidence of the residence before the 1903 move of existing building. The earlier 1889 map literally stopped mid-block between 13th and 14th streets, this eliminating a valuable view into the 14th St. original layout of both current property and the property between I and J streets where the building was relocated.

Existing Conditions
At the time of report, detailed conditions assessment has not been completed. As a working rental property for decades, all building systems are function for their purposes and maintained per needs.

The exterior viewscape from different elevations demonstrate a sound and functioning building with numerous deferred and ongoing maintenance points of interest.

Extensive analysis of existing conditions, damage, structural problems, material deterioration will be completed during the investigation period of project and developed into various scopes of work.

Building conservation includes repairing redwood components in-kind (per-needs), cleaning, paint recoating, while maintaining authenticity and historic fabric. Again, reference to the Standards and Guidelines for Rehabilitation will help to develop a logical plan based on the building needs.

Interior of Building
Access and entry into the building was unavailable at time of writing this report. Assessment of the interior features includes identification of those features that are character defining and will be preserved in the course of the project work. Room-by-room analysis, identifying material, construction techniques, moldings, paint finishes, floors, walls, ceilings, woodwork, doors, and windows will be necessary to complete a comprehensive preservation plan.

Mechanical systems (heating, lighting, plumbing, electrical, etc.) will be reviewed and modernized per needs once the house rehabilitation plan is developed and funding approved. 7 1883 Whiley House photo, see in attachments

Whaley House Historic Resource Report, Bill Hole, November 2025 6 Proposed project work
Stabilization and conservation of historic buildings will recognize the guidelines and recommendations of the Standards for Rehabilitation (Standards) to guide decision making and itemized below:9 1) This property will continue use for residences, asit was historically. The garages added a century ago will continue their uses and the building will be upgraded accordingly. Historic character of the property will be retained and preserved. As a residential property, the proposed lot split will remain residential use.

Ideally, alteration of features,spaces, and spatial relationshipsthat characterize a property will be avoided, yet the lot split removes a larger open yard space while adding another building. The new residence will be designed compatibly to the surrounding neighborhood architecture. 2) The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal ofspatial relationships that characterize a property cannot be avoided by splitting the yard, and is necessary for this project. 3) This property is recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. The physical evidence of its earliest buildings and side yard plantings is lacking. Historic Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps maintain some record of property evolution over time, as do some archived historical documents describing some family and activities relative to the Whaley House.
4) Changesto the original house and property use have acquired historic significance in their own right and will be retained and preserved. Originally the house was one structure located on another 14th St. lot to the northwest. Besides Sanborn and Humboldt Daily Times maps, historic records documenting building additions were not readily available at time of this report to describe exact changes and matching dates. Changes of use of property have occurred throughout its history, like a square building the northeast corner of property, and later a square building that was located on the southwest corner of property (was it the same building?). The row of garages built on the west property alleyway morphed through time.
5) Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved, conserved, and restored. 6) Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
7) Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible.

Treatmentsthat cause damage to historic materials will not be used. All painting repairs/recoating will maintain profile and shape to existing wood features on building and prep work prior to final coats will be adhere to this treatment.
8) Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. Ifsuch resources must be disturbed when building a new structure, mitigation measures will be undertaken. 9) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationshipsthat characterize the property. The new work while differentiated from the old will be compatible with the historic neighborhood. 10) New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in a such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. The addition of a new, residence on the proposed divided property will change the environment of the property, yet will always be considered reversable. 9 https://www.nps.gov/subjects/taxincentives/secretarys-standards-rehabilitation.htm, 2025

Whaley House Historic Resource Report, Bill Hole, November 2025 7 Recommendations for necessary work will be based on existing conditions and preservation objectives developed in a future list of work priorities, phasing, estimated costs.

Architectural work
Repair/replace in-kind 1-by-10 redwood, 3-lap (round edge) drop siding10 on north/west house addition.

Recommendation is to replace any needed pieces with same original siding from a different elevation in order to maintain maximum authenticity per elevation, where feasible, and install new matching profile drop siding to an entire elevation, or zone with attention to detail.

Structural work
Major under carriage seismic and structural work will be completed to repair/replace in-kind foundation posts, girders, cross bracing, and exterior skirting. Concrete pier blocks will be replaced per needs and per architect’s approval.

As a rehabilitation/stabilization project, contractor on site will work with architect to develop a plan of repair/replacement to enhance future longevity of structure, using existing redwood materials where feasible to maximize recycle/reuse of functioning, original redwood components. Skirting improvements to eliminate rodent and small mammal infiltration to under house areas for health and safety reasons.

Mechanical work
This is a rehabilitation treatment which generally has the most replacement of existing (and generally outdated) materials for new, as modernizing is helpful to energy conservation, safety, and appropriate considering modern electrical needs of home users.

Mechanical work includes HVAC (heat ventilation air conditioning), plumbing for water and gas systems, and electrical systems. Rehabilitation projects take into account of antiquated mechanical systems with modification and upgrades as part of the scope of work. A detailed investigation and survey of electrical and plumbing systems require licensed contractors to detail system components, parts, and labor estimates.

Archaeological work
Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, professional mitigation measures will be undertaken.

Measured Drawings
Architectural plans, elevations, section, details, photographs of details and elevations will be dependent upon acceptance of lot split and financial acceptance.

Future Preservation
“Cyclical Maintenance Plan” for future ongoing maintenance, preservation, protection, or cyclical maintenance of the historic resource will be developed during the process of rehabilitation and stabilization of existing buildings. Landscape and hardscape including walkways and fences will be included in future plans.

Bonus tidbit of Whaley Family - “Mr. O.C. Southard, one of the Wood party that reached this bay in 1849, coming over the mountains from Trinity river, is here on a visit to Mrs. J. A. Whaley, his sister, whom he had not seen for 17 years before he reached Arcata a few days ago. Mr. Southard is 75 years of age, and like most pioneers shows the marks of battle with pioneer life.…. In 1850 Southard returned to Trinidad and helped to lay out that town. He was afterwards an owner in the lower Gold Bluff, which was a veritable bonanza in those days…”.

DESCRIBE THE PRESENT AND ORIGINAL (IF KNOWN) PHYSICAL APPEARANCE Of Greek Revival design, the Whaley House is a one-and-a-half story, frontfacing gable structure with a one-story rear section. Facing east, the front facade has two, six pane casements in the upper story and two, eight-pane casements and an off-centered front door in the lower story. An open veranda, supported "by four tapered posts on square piers, extends across the front of the house. Returned eaves and a wide molded frieze provide classic detail.

Both the south and north sides have a four-window bay with bracketed cornice and panels below the windows. Twelve-pane, double-hung windows are present in the lower story on the sides and in the upper story in the rear facade. Construction is of redwood, siding is clapboard, and there is an exterior brick chimney on the rear facade.

The one-story kitchen section has porches on both the north and south sides.

In 1903 the house, occupied by the Charles ¥. Hill family, was purchased by Mr. Hill and moved from its original location on the north side of l4th Street between "I" and "J" Streets to the present site at the southwest corner of l^th and "H" Streets, approximately a block and a half east of the original site.

The owner of the original property, Walter Wiley, wanted the house removed from the lot in order to build a new house. The house was moved from a location between mirror-image Queen Anne houses built in 1888 to a neighborhood which included the 1870 Ericson House (across the street to the east and essentially unaltered), the 1895 Stern House (on the northeast corner of l4th and "H" and remodeled in 1904) and another settlement-era house on the same block. Within the year after the house was moved, three houses (two remain) were built on the west side of the block.

Today the neighborhood contains mixed housing types—bungalow, modern, turn-of-the century, and settlement-era.

The house is in a deteriorated condition and is currently occupied as a threeapartment rental by Humboldt State University students. However, the new owners intend to begin immediate structural repairs (foundation and roof) and, as soon as possible, undertake exterior restoration and interior renovation. Exterior alterations to the main house include the two bays, which appear to have been added at the time the house was moved in 1903 j the addition (at the time the house was converted into apartments) of two small windows on either side of the house; the front door which appears to be early 1900's; and the front porch which no longer has its roof balustrade and may have different posts. Alterations to the kitchen section include the addition at the rear and the south-side porch, which has been partially enclosed. The new owners plan to rebuild the front porch to include a roof balustrade and square posts with simple capitals, replace the foundation skirting, remove the garage additions, repair the picket fence, clean up the overgrowth in the yard, paint the exterior white, and renovate the interior. The building's setting, including the old orchard trees, side yard, picket fence, and surrounding neighborhood, support the character and qualities of this early settlement house.

SPECIFIC DATES moyed
BUILDER/ARCHITECT John A. Whaley
The Humboldt Bay region was discovered by the Gregg-Wood party, a group of miners from the Trinity River mining district, in December 18^9. The following spring, ships from San Francisco brought eager fortune-seekers to the area and rapid settlement followed as Union (renamed Arcata in i860) became a supply center for the interior mining districts. Goods were brought by ship to the deep-water port at Union for transport by mule train across the mountains to the KLamath, Trinity and Salmon river mining camps.

Settlement-era architecture in the Humboldt Bay region reflected the cultural origins of New England immigrants and like other housing built in California during this period was simple and classic in detail often with double galleries, French doors, and balustrades (Kirker, 1960). The Whaley House, built in l855> is a good example of this style and period. It is nominated to the National Register because it is a significant component of Arcata's architectural heritage, being one of only five remaining residences known to have been built in the 1850's and the only remaining Greek Revival cottage with the characteristic double galleries and French doors of settlement period California.

John A. Whaley, a pioneer settler from New York, built this "comfortable and handsome dwelling" on the "plateau north of the Plaza" in February 1855. The following July he was married to Emily Southard, whose brother Charles C. Southard was a member of the Humboldt Bay discovery party of 18^9 and in the spring of 1850, a founder of Trinidad. John and Emily set up housekeeping in this house and there were four Whaley children. Mr. Whaley, described as a "clear-headed, active and upright businessman," had a saddlery and harness shop and served as the local Justice of the Peace, Town Recorder and general business agent in 1858. For twenty-five years he was the Internal Revenue Collector for the local district and at the time of his last illness in 1887 was a deputy assessor for Humboldt County. After his death in 1888, his widow continued to occupy the house where she raised two grandsons, In 1899 she sold the house on its original lot to Walter J. Wiley and moved to Hollister where she died in 1911.

Wiley apparently never lived in the house, but rented it to Charles W. Hill, who purchased the house in 1903 and moved it to the present location. A native of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Hill came to Humboldt County in 1858 and spent the next four years logging. Returning to New Brunswick in 1862, he was married to Mary M. Wilson, a sister of Mrs. William Carson of Eureka's Carson Mansion fame, and they returned to Eureka where Hill ran a logging operation on 1,600 acres in the Ryan Slough area. Upon his retirement about 1900, they moved to Arcata where he was engaged in various pursuits including a gold saving operation on local beaches and pine timber deals.

Charles and Mary Hill lived in this house until their deaths in 1922 and 1935 > respectively. Ownership of the house went to the Hill's son, Henry Edmond Hill, in 1935 and upon his death in 1.9^3, to his sisters, Nellie (Mrs. David) Wilson and Elizabeth (Mrs. Frank) Smith. The following year Mrs. Smith's daughter, Met (Mrs. Julius) Moore assumed ownership which lasted until 1964.

Since that time the house has had two other owners before being purchased by Bill and Sally Thonson in April 1979.

The house is recommended for placement on the National Register because its architecture is significant to the community, its history is only five years short of covering the same time span as Arcata's history, and National Register status will aid in its restoration and preservation. 27

>> I'm working on a project of writing an Historic Resource Report for an owner of a 1979 National Register property, #79000475. The goal is to divide a city lot for infill and separate off a side yard that no longer is an orchard or significant part of the property as back in the late 1970's. The trees have all died off and as Arcata City promotes infill, the proposed property split is ideal because it will afford the owners valuable funding to allow rehabilitation/stabilization efforts on the original ca.1850's house and later ca. 1920's small wooden garages on the back alley.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Tabatha Miller, Assistant City Manager/Finance Director PREPARER: Tabatha Miller, Assistant City Manager/Finance Director DATE: August 19, 2026
TITLE: Consider Adopting Resolution No. 267-12 Revising the Budget for Juvenile Diversion Counselor Position Funding.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council adopt Resolution No. 267-12 revising the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026- 27 Budget to Adjust the Source of Funding for the Juvenile Diversion Counselor position.

INTRODUCTION:

On July 7, 2026, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors approved a three-year spending plan for projects and positions that included funding for a City of Arcata Juvenile Diversion Counselor beginning in FY 2027-28. This new commitment of future funding prompted staff to reevaluate the previously approved plan to modify the focus of the Juvenile Diversion Counselor position to opioid misuse prevention and fund the position with Opioid Settlement Funds.

Given the County's commitment to fund the position for three years beginning in FY 2027-28, staff recommend using General Fund resources to support the position in FY 2026-27 and maintaining the position's traditional juvenile diversion services.

BACKGROUND:

In response to the FY 2026-27 General Fund budget deficit, staff proposed funding one Juvenile Diversion Counselor position with Opioid Settlement Funds rather than General Fund resources.

Because the use of Opioid Settlement Funds is restricted, this change would have required transitioning the position to a Juvenile Opioid Diversion Counselor, with a focus on preventing opioid misuse, connecting youth to services and care, and addressing the needs of individuals involved in the criminal justice system.

This approach was proposed after the City was informed that it would not receive funding for the Juvenile Diversion Counselor position from Humboldt County's Measure Z revenues in FY 2026-27.

Measure Z is a countywide sales tax approved by voters in 2014 to fund public safety needs. Local agencies may apply annually for Measure Z funding for projects that support public safety. In prior years, the County has provided funding for up to two Juvenile Diversion Counselor positions in Arcata. Most recently, the City received $45,565 in FY 2024-25, representing approximately 25% of the cost of one position.

On July 7, 2026, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, with advocacy from Supervisor Mike Wilson, approved funding for a Juvenile Diversion Counselor position. The funding will begin in FY

Page 186 of 223 ends

2027-28 and is committed through FY 2029-30. As a condition of the funding, the City will provide juvenile diversion services beyond City limits, consistent with services provided under prior County funding agreements.

DISCUSSION:

On August 3, 2026, the City filled the Juvenile Diversion Counselor position, which had been vacant since December 2025. In light of the County's commitment to fund the position beginning in FY 2027-28, staff has reevaluated the plan to modify the position for one year to meet the requirements for use of Opioid Settlement Funds.

Maintaining the traditional Juvenile Diversion Counselor program in FY 2026-27 will allow the position to continue providing broader juvenile diversion services and facilitate the transition to the expanded service area required under the future Measure Z funding. Staff therefore recommend funding the position from the General Fund for FY 2026-27 rather than Opioid Settlement Funds.

Beginning in FY 2027-28, the County's Measure Z funding is expected to support the position for three fiscal years, reducing the City's General Fund obligation during that period.

This approach also preserves Opioid Settlement Funds for other eligible programs and activities specifically focused on opioid remediation.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

Budget appropriations are not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because they are government fiscal activities that do not involve a commitment to a specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), government fiscal activities that do not involve such a commitment are not considered a “project” under CEQA.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The salary and benefits for the Juvenile Diversion Counselor for FY 2026-27:

Account Description Amount
101-40-21-50100 Regular Salaries $72,600
101-40-21-50990 Other Employee Benefits $42,900
Total Cost of Salaries & Benefits $115,500
The proposed budget amendment will fund the $115,500 cost of the Juvenile Diversion Counselor position from the General Fund rather than Opioid Settlement Funds. As a result, General Fund expenditures will increase by $115,500 compared with the adopted FY 2026-27 Budget, while $115,500 of Opioid Settlement Funds previously budgeted for the position will remain available for other eligible opioid remediation purposes.

Beginning in FY 2027-28, Measure Z funding is anticipated to support the Juvenile Diversion Counselor position through FY 2029-30, reducing the City's General Fund costs for the position during those fiscal years.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

1. Receive a staff report and review questions with staff.

2. Open public comment.

3. Close public comment.

4. Motion to adopt Resolution No. 267-12 adopting a revision to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026- 27 Budget to adjust the source of funding for the Juvenile Diversion Counselor position.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCATA TO AMEND RESOLUTION NO. 256-74, ADOPTING THE ANNUAL BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Arcata adopted the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 Budget on June 17, 2026, and did not include an appropriation for the Juvenile Delinquent Counselor but instead supported funding the position from the Opioid Settlement Trust Account; thereby reducing the impact to the City’s General Fund, which was projected at a deficit for the FY 2026-27 year; and WHEREAS, on July 7, 2026, the City of Arcata unexpectedly received an allocation of Measure Z funding from Humboldt County to fund a Juvenile Diversion Counselor for three years from July 2027 to June 2030; and WHEREAS, The City of Arcata wishes to fund the position and program for the FY 2026-27, with the understanding there will be future budget savings to more than offset the current costs: and

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Jennifer Dart, Community Development Director
PREPARER: Sam Sauter, Community Development Specialist
DATE: August 19, 2026
TITLE: Consider Adoption of Resolution No. 267-05 Authorizing Submission of Program Income Only Application for Funding for Business Assistance and Microenterprise Programs. Not Subject to the California Environmental Quality Act.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council:
1) Receive a staff report and open the public hearing;
2) Adopt Resolution No. 267-05 (attachment A) authorizing submission of CDBG Program Income (PI) only application to continue and expand the City’s Business Assistance and Microenterprise program.
3) Authorize City Manager to execute all applicable documents.

INTRODUCTION:

The City’s Business Assistance and Microenterprise programs, operated under Grant No. 22-CDBGED-30042 ended on July 17, 2026. There is no currently awarded funding to continue this program.

The City is eligible to apply for and use Program Income (PI) to support local economic development. This action would authorize the City to apply for and allocate up to $700,000 in PI funds to expand the Business Assistance and Microenterprise programs. These programs have been in high demand and provide critical financial support to small businesses and entrepreneurs who often don’t qualify for traditional financing. With this additional funding, the City could support an estimated seven to ten more businesses, helping to promote job creation, business growth, and economic resilience.

BACKGROUND:

The City holds approximately $1,500,000 in CDBG PI due to a relatively large business loan repayment in FY 24/25. Program Income must be expended to fully utilize other awarded CDBG grant funds. The Business Assistance Program is a loan program designed to support small businesses and job growth or retention through affordable financing to eligible businesses that may not satisfy underwriting standards for conventional financing. The Program may provide fund loans up to $300,000 (larger loans may be funded through a separate application to the state).

The Microenterprise Financial Assistance Program is designed to stimulate economic growth by assisting with expansion for startup and existing businesses that may not satisfy underwriting standards for conventional financing. A microenterprise is a for-profit business with five or fewer

Page 191 of 223 ends

employees, one of which is the owner. This Program funds grants up to $10,000 and funds affordable loans up to $50,000.

The City held a CDBG scoping hearing on February 18, 2026, and identified several eligible activities including Economic Development activities as likely for CDBG PI funding. Economic Development activities are being considered for PI application because these activities are both ready to fund and have the highest eligibility. There is not another grant award to sustain this work at this time. A PI application for these activities will allow the City to continue offering these important economic development programs.

DISCUSSION:

The City is eligible to apply for its CDBG PI funds for eligible program activities. At the Public Hearings on February 4, 2026, February 17, 2026, February 18, 2026, and February 27,2026, the Council reviewed a number of proposed projects and programs eligible for PI funding.

The CDBG-PI Only Application requires a full application for eligible activities, including an adopted Resolution. Staff recommends that the Council adopt Resolution No. 256-05 approving submission of a PI Only Application to fund eligible economic development activities under the 2023-CDBG NOFA, which is described in more detail below:

Economic Development Activities: $500,000 in existing program income and up to $200,000 in future program income receipts, for the Business Assistance Loan Program and Microenterprise Economic Development Loan and Grant Programs. Funds would be used to continue the City’s Business Assistance and Microenterprise Programs.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

Applying for a grant is not a project pursuant to CEQA. No specific projects have been identified at the application stage. Any business loans funded through the program are independently evaluated for environmental review.

A NEPA Categorically Exempt per 24 CFR 58.34(a)(3) (Administration of Program) Environmental Review will be completed for General Administration costs prior to submission of grant applications to CDBG. The program provides financial assistance to small businesses and micro-enterprises for equipment, inventory, and operating costs. Categorical Exclusions Not Subject to §58.5 per 24 CFR

58.35(b)(4) Economic development activities not associated with construction or expansion of existing operations.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The action would authorize $500,000 in expenditure of local PI currently held in the 255 fund and up to $200,000 in future program income receipts. This action would only be effective after the CDBG program issues an award for the PI only application. This action would authorize the City to continue to operate and expand its Business Assistance and Microenterprise Financial Assistance Programs. Repayment on loans funded through these Programs generate Program Income, which can in turn be used to fund other CDBG activities.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

1. Open the Public Hearing.

2. Receive a staff report and review questions with staff.

3. Open public comment.

4. Close public comment/the public hearing.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Tabatha Miller, Assistant City Manager/Finance Director PREPARER: Tabatha Miller, Assistant City Manager/Finance Director DATE: August 19, 2026
TITLE: Public Hearing on Updates to the Master Fee Schedule; and Adopt Resolution No. 267-10, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arcata Adopting Changes to the City’s Master Fee Schedule.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council:

1. Open the Public Hearing.

2. Receive a staff report and review questions with staff.

3. Open public comment.

4. Close public comment/the public hearing.

5. Motion to adopt Resolution No. 267-10, adopting changes to the City’s Mater Fee Schedule.

INTRODUCTION:

The City reviews and updates the City’s fees, consistent with the goal of ensuring, with only a few exceptions, that fees for City services are sufficient to recover the cost of providing those services.

The attached update for selected fee reduction, additions, and increases was prepared to meet this strategic objective. The California Government Code requires that increases and new fees be presented to the City Council at a public hearing in accordance with Section 66016 and 6062(a).

BACKGROUND:

Typically, as part of the budget preparation process, staff review current fees to determine whether such fees and charges are sufficient to recoup costs associated with providing services to the public.

However, if and when needed, fees may be updated outside that cycle to ensure that the charges recoup the reasonable cost of the service provided but no more than that.

The Master Fee Schedule (Schedule) consolidates all City fees and charges into one schedule.

Therefore, the Schedule includes already adopted rates. When fees and charges are newly implemented or increased, a public hearing is required by California Government Code Section 66018. The public hearing notice was published on August 5th and 12th in the Mad River Union and posted at City Hall in accordance with California Government Code Sections 66016 and 6062(a).

DISCUSSION:

Staff time and other costs incurred in conducting City business (such as processing of development and other applications, inspections, providing classes, renting facilities, and most other services) are

Page 196 of 223 ends

generally measurable and are provided for the benefit of individuals as opposed to the benefit of the community as a whole. Hence, fees for these activities are not taxes, but rather, they are fees for services. Cities have the general authority to impose fees (as charges and rates) under the cities’ police powers granted by the state Constitution (Article XI, Sections 7 and 9).

Miscellaneous fees and charges are limited to the amount necessary to cover the cost of providing the service. If fees in excess of cost are collected, they must be used to reduce the service charge cost. Excess fees cannot become a source of revenue for the General Fund.

The proposed update to selected fees within Schedule A, was initiated based on City Council direction to staff to update the Residential Rental Inspection Program (RRIP) fees, so that the program fees were sufficient to recover the cost of providing those services. In addition to those changes, there are minor updates and revisions, including a pass-through fee reduction. These changes to the fee schedule are highlighted in yellow and noted with a red header “REVISED” or “NEW FEE”, so the changes are easily identified.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

The adoption of this Resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA,” Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq.), because it approves and sets forth a procedure for determining fees for the purpose of meeting the operating expenses of City departments, as set forth in Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8)(A) and Section 15273 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

Outside of the revisions to the fees associated with the RRIP, which are estimated to increase General Fund revenue by $60,000-$75,000, the other fee changes will have a minor impact to revenues collected by the City.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

It is recommended that the Council:

1. Open the Public Hearing.

2. Receive a staff report and review questions with staff.

3. Open public comment.

4. Close public comment/the public hearing.

5. Motion to adopt Resolution No. 267-10, adopting changes to the City’s Mater Fee Schedule.
