City of Eureka Being Sued Over Parking Lot Housing Projects
A large number of downtown Eureka businessowners and residents are filing a lawsuit Thursday, April 6, 2023, against the City of Eureka in California Superior Court, Humboldt County, over the city’s activities related to affordable and low-income housing projects on downtown parking lots. The thirty-two petitioners, known as Citizens for a Better Eureka, claim the city failed to meet the requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to properly assess the environmental impacts of the housing developments planned for city parking lots.
