Arcata is trying to resolve its housing shortage by rezoning an area west of the plaza to accommodate large apartment buildings. City officials will take public feedback on the draft Gateway Plan during the Jan. 11 Planning Commission meeting, and at open houses Jan. 21 and 22 at the Community Center.
