Upcoming Meetings for the Jacobs Site

Dear Community Members,

We invite you to mark your calendars and participate in the following meetings concerning the Jacobs campus. Your voice matters, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas.

Tuesday, March 19th, 2024 - City Council Meeting

Save the date for March 19th as City Staff presents a debrief to City Council about the community feedback gathered from the Jacobs campus town hall meeting in January and potential next steps. Council Member Moulton requested that Staff present options to Council on paths forward given the District is selling the land to a private developer, including a potential rezone of the site. We heard the community’s concerns about the recent sale, and we have heard thoughtful ideas for potential development and use of the site, all of which have been incorporated into the options we will be presenting to Council. Your presence and engagement in this discussion are essential as we work towards creating an inclusive and transparent environment on this important topic. The City Council meeting starts at 6:00 p.m. and the public is welcome to participate in person at City Hall (2^nd floor Council Chamber) or over Zoom. Please see the links below for Zoom information. The City Council Agenda packet will be posted next week (3/12/24). The Agenda can be found here: https://www.eurekaca.gov/317/View-Board-Commission-Meetings-Agendas

Wednesday, March 13th, 2024 - Planning Commission Meeting

Join us on March 13^th – the Planning Commission will be reviewing whether the location and purpose of Eureka City Schools’ acquisition and disposal of properties is aligned with the goals and policies of the City’s 2040 General Plan (the City’s guiding document or “blueprint” for how Eureka will grow and develop over the next two decades). Since the proposed project is located within the City limits of Eureka, California Government Code §65402 requires the School District, prior to either acquisition or disposal (i.e., sale) of real property, to request a General Plan Conformance determination from the City of Eureka’s Planning Commission. The Planning Commission meeting starts at 5:30 p.m. and the public is welcome to participate in person at City Hall (2^nd floor Council Chamber) or over Zoom. Please see the links below for the agenda packet and Zoom information.
