City of Arcata Awarded a PRO Housing Grant
The City of Arcata has been awarded a $1 million grant to promote building housing in the community. The City of Arcata is excited to announce that it was awarded a $1 million PRO Housing Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The funding will be used for three projects all with the goal of reducing barriers to producing housing. The first project will update zoning to conform to the General Plan 2045, which will streamline permitting and promote infill densification. The second will allow the City to boost the development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) with a new zoning ordinance that will clarify ADU regulations and with a low-interest ADU construction loan program for qualifying owners. The final project will be to adopt form-based code using objective standards to regulate high-density development in one or more Infill Opportunity Zones identified in the City’s 2019 Housing Element.
