Document Description
Construction of a mixed-use, 3-to-5-story building on City-owned property in Downtown currently developed as public parking lots. The ground floor will primarily be dedicated to an intermodal transit center for the Humboldt Transit Authority with a number of individual leasable commercial tenant spaces, while the upper floors will include up to 99 apartment-style housing units, all or the majority of which will be deed-restricted affordable. The two underlying parcels will be merged, followed by a condominium subdivision to separate ownership of the housing from the transit center. H Street will be reduced by one lane between 3rd and 4th Streets to provide the space necessary for bus parking, passenger loading/unloading and sidewalk pedestrian traffic.
