Humboldt County SHeriff’S offiCe

McKINLEYVILLE – On Saturday, March 27 at about 7:47 p.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a business on the 1100 block of Murray Road in McKinleyville for the report of two people unconscious inside a vehicle parked outside the business.

While attempting to contact the individuals, deputies observed narcotics in plain view on the male driver’s lap.

Deputies were able to wake the two, who exhibited signs of being under the influence of a narcotic substance.

Solar | ‘An alternative to... climate change’

 FROM PAGE 1 mechanisms which create minimal noise, he said.

Traffic impacts will be also be minimal because the only employees onsite will be those who do maintenance checks six times a year.

The solar-generated power will be fed into the grid and managed by the Redwood Coast Energy Authority (RCEA), the county’s energy agency.

Renewable Properties has done solar projects throughout the country.

Aaron Halimi, the company’s president, noted that state law requires 100 percent of electric retail sales to be sourced from zero-carbon sources by 2045. “Everyone needs to do their part in California,” he said.

During a public comment period, some people who live near the site questioned whether alternative locations could be used and said a chain link fence surrounding the site would create visual impact.

There was also some doubt expressed about whether the agricultural use will be enough to comply with a “no net loss” policy.

But comments were mostly in support of the project. Energy researcher Jim Zoellick, who helped the county develop its General Plan Energy Element, said the project is “exactly the type of project that the Energy Element intended to encourage.”

He added, “For us to mitigate our carbon footprint, we cannot just purchase renewable energy from outside the area.”

One commenter described objections to the project as “anachronistic” and another said the visual impact of solar panels will be positive.

“For me, when I see the solar panels out there – hopefully – they will be quite beautiful because what I will see is an alternative to the impending ravages of climate change,” she said.

Kit Mann recalled the county’s denial of the Terra-Gen wind energy project in late 2019 and said that it “kind of said to outside energy developers that maybe we weren’t ready for alternative energy projects.”

Rejecting this one would “set a disastrous precedent in that large green energy projects would be very hesitant to come to Humboldt County because we are not a welcoming community.”

Most commissioners did welcome the project, with Commissioner Brian Mitchell declaring that “we are in the middle of a climate emergency” before he made a motion to approve its conditional use permit.

Commissioner Mike Newman cast the only dissent vote. He had asked Halimi if overhead power transmission lines can be undergrounded and was told that it would trigger a major redesign and significantly delay the project.

Grow | Staunch opposition

 FROM PAGE 1 tion permits may be issued to a single Person’ (55.4.5.4.1). The CCLUO also clearly defines ‘Commercial Cannabis Cultivation’ to include nurseries. For purposes of the eight acre limitation in the CCLUO, the revised project proposal is for twelve acres of cultivation.”

DeLapp said that if the project can truly be reduced to eight acres, HCGA will remove its opposition. DeVries didn’t return a request for comment before deadline.

Apart from those pivotal epistles, letters of comment sent to the Planning Commission since its previous meeting were overwhelmingly and staunchly opposed to the project.

Meanwhile, opponents have consolidated their objections and organizing around a new website, savethearcatabottoms.com. They’ve also been petitioning, and delivered anti-grow petitions signed by 400 citizens to the Planco in advance of last week’s meeting. A Zoom meeting among members of “Team 27” – an informal name for the opposition group based on many members’ 27th Street residency – was planned for this week.

The ALC’s downsizing proposal was seen by some as a precedent for “piecemealing” the eventual saturation of the Bottoms with similar grows, even as the area becomes increasingly residential.

“If this passes, there’s no turning back,” said 27th Streeter Paula Proctor, who noted the imminent creation of senior housing at the nearby Creek Side Homes project. “There will be a lot of people affected by that,” she said, referring to the ALC grow.

Another new wrinkle was potential opposition by at least one business with ties to Sun Valley Floral Farms (SVFF). In a letter to the group, Eureka Natural Foods Administrative Office Graigory Fillmore said labor and environmental issues raised about SVFF have led to a review. “I wanted to reach out and let you know that we have opened an investigation into our relationship with Sun Valley,” Fillmore wrote. “Environmental impact and employment practices are extremely important to us as an organization... I will be reviewing all information regarding this issue in an attempt to find a solution.”

An announcement made by Arcata Bottom resident Sean Armstrong about a site walk-through meeting for 10 selected citizens which he and DeVries had arranged was immediately rejected by the Team 27 group. Group members eschewed any selective representation, and suggested the move was an accommodationist tactic by Armstrong, whose Tule Fog Farm is partly sited on land owned by DeVries.

“Our group is not OK with their eight-plus-four rewrite,” said opponent Kim Puckett. She said the project still carries too many unresolved issues, and needs an EIR “at a bare minimum.”

“My position is ‘no’,” she said.

Love Over Hate

On Sunday, March 21, Humboldt Asians & Pacific Islanders (HAPI) in Solidarity hosted a vigil, “Love Over Hate,” to honor and remember the victims of the tragic Atlanta shootings.

This peaceful, thoughtful, and loving walking vigil was held on the grounds of the Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (HUUF) in Bayside.

We want to acknowledge several organizations and 30-plus volunteers who helped to make this vigil possible: HUUF Board and volunteers who co-hosted the event; Sun Valley Floral who donated beautiful flowers; Cooperation Humboldt who brought many volunteers to support and help; and Gary Ronne and Humboldt Taiko for the beautiful rhythmic Taiko drumming.

Special thanks to Pat Girczyc for coordinating the many volunteers.

In a letter written to the Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Atlanta organization (AAJC-Atlanta), we enclosed a cashier’s check (cash donations) and personal checks totaling $2,765.93.

These generous donations were collected at the vigil for the families of the victims, to be distributed to them by AAJC-Atlanta. We are very appreciative of our community for their support, compassion and generosity.

We are grateful for the many hours our volunteers gave to the vigil and to the hundreds of community members who braved

that cold windy afternoon to express grief and caring.

HAPI has posted a video filmed by a member of our group, Chisato Hughes: youtu.be/XaNIDRXpf7s.

Words cannot express enough the gratitude of the Asian and Pacific Islander communities here to have so many in our community stand up to hate and mourn for the victims.

In solidarity and compassion, (HAPI founding mothers and sisters)

Everything’s upside down

A community leader was recently stabbed in front of his own business. I call my friend Jeff a leader, not because his is a successful businessman – although he is, but because he is all about bettering our community, through volunteerism, support, involvement, and love of family and friends. How is it that this happened? But, more importantly, there seems to be little outrage outside of his close circle. The police officer on scene actually scolded him for approaching the “bums” that were vandalizing his building, aka throwing trash at the structure while nonchalantly enjoying a convenient corner; all of this during business hours! While waiting for the ambulance and holding his protruding guts, the police officer also lectured him about not having the front door to his business locked at all times. Hmmm am I the only one that thinks things are really upside down? We the tax paying, working class, follow the rules types are having to lock ourselves in buildings to protect ourselves from those that break the law, vandalize our properties, don’t contribute and apparently stab people with knives when they are asked to behave. Apparently, this guy is a two-time stabbing offender. When are our representatives going to start showing at least some empathy towards us? I’ve witnessed this slippery slope of community activism geared exclusively toward those who abuse the liberties of law-abiding people. The civil liberties of the less fortunate is noble, but the disconnect is that it has facilitated a culture of filth, private as well as public property damage, unsanitary conditions, and now more frequently personal injury. All of this happening, while we are told because we choose to work hard and take care of our families and communities that we are “privileged” (a trigger word, I know) and could not possibly relate to the very people that we now find ourselves retreating from – locking our doors, not walking on our trails, avoiding public parks etc... Is this really proactive compassion, allowing a take over of our beloved public spaces while allowing drug use and squalor? I’m 72 years old and have lived in Humboldt County, almost my entire life. I have witnessed the decay of our beautiful county. I know the problem of vagrancy, drug addiction, and homelessness is complicated, but I don’t think the answer is forgetting about those who do keep the economic and community engine running. Let’s see some justice for those of us who don’t have the time to protest our feelings of abandonment because we get up and go to work every morning.

No card, no access

If we are to get ahead of this pandemic we need folks to get vaccinated. Restaurants, bars, music festivals etc should open up for the summer.

Your attendance should depend on the vax card that are given to all when they receive the injections. No card, no going to those venues.

Those that choose to not be vaccinated will forfeit the right to attend these events but still have the right to believe their 5G cell phone causes COVID if they wish. Musicians should be held to the same standard. No worries if they refuse. You will still have the right to sit home and play the chord changes to “Smoke On the Water” endlessly, if desired.

ALC’s grow-downsizing proposal and HCGA’s critical response

March 28, 2021 Natalynne DeLapp Executive Director Humboldt County Growers Alliance RE: Arcata Land Company Proposed Project Dear Natalynne:

Thank you again for your time this morning. We appreciated your insight and candidness regarding the Humboldt County Growers Alliance (“HCGA”) membership’s concerns over Arcata Land Company’s (“ALC”) proposed 23-acre cannabis project at ALC’s existing flower production facility in Arcata.

ALC’s project, as described to the Planning Commission last week, is allowed under and satisfies all requirements under the Humboldt County Code. Even so, ALC is sensitive to the concerns expressed in HCGA’s March 15 letter to the Commission regarding the project. ALC is also sensitive to the concerns of neighbors and other community members expressed in comment letters and through testimony at the last Commission hearing. ALC prides itself on being a responsible member of the Humboldt County community, a reputation that has been built over the last 30 years.

In this connection, ALC is willing to radically reduce the scale of its project to address the community and HCGA’s concerns. In particular, ALC is willing to reduce the total cultivation acreage from nearly 23 acres to just 8 acres, accompanied by a 4-acre commercial nursery. The 8 acres of cultivation would be comprised of approximately 5.7 acres of mixed-light cultivation and 2.3 acres of light-deprivation cultivation. ALC would support the cultivation and nursery components being entitled under two separate permits, as we understand is HCGA’s preference. ALC’s existing hoop houses, previously part of the project, would instead remain in flower production.

The reduced-scale project addresses community and HCGA’s concerns regarding the scale of the project, will use less water, require fewer employees, use less energy, be situated further from sensitive receptors, generate less traffic, and will continue to use state-of-the-art odor control technology. The commercial nursery will provide a sustainable source of local strains for Humboldt County growers and will not produce odors associated with flowering cannabis. The reduced-scale project is a major reduction from the project that ALC has been working on diligently with the County over the last four years, but we think this project would be a success for HCGA, the community, and ALC.

Again, we appreciate your time and attention. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely, Jordan Main

March 31, 2021 Humboldt County 825 5th Street Eureka, CA 95501 Dear Planning Commission,

On behalf of Humboldt County Growers Alliance, we are writing to clarify our position on size limitations in Humboldt’s cannabis cultivation ordinances, and express our opposition to projects that exceed eight acres of cultivation, inclusive of nursery space.

We are also writing to update our March 15 letter based on additional information and research which has come to light since the March 18 Planning Commission meeting.

HCGA Opposes Projects With More Than Eight Acres of Cumulative Nursery and Mature Plant Cultivation Space

In our March 15 letter to the Planning Commission on the proposed 23 acre Arcata Land Company project, we wrote the following:

“At its current scale, HCGA opposes the project as proposed. However, if the project is reduced in size to eight acres or less - the largest scale contemplated in either land use ordinance - HCGA will remove its opposition.”

On March 30, Arcata Land Company sent HCGA a proposal in writing that suggested a willingness to reduce the scale of the project to eight acres of mature plant cultivation, and four acres of nursery space. Arcata Land Company has expressed that they believe this revised project would satisfy the request in HCGA’s March 15 letter.

After reviewing the language in Humboldt’s cannabis ordinances, and discussing with our membership, we do not agree. The CCLUO states that “no more than eight acres of Commercial Cannabis cultivation permits may be issued to a single Person” (55.4.5.4.1). The CCLUO also clearly defines “Commercial Cannabis Cultivation” to include nurseries. For purposes of the eight acre limitation in the CCLUO, the revised project proposal is for twelve acres of cultivation.

Additionally, the CCLUO states that eight acres is the limitation for “a single Person.” A “Person” is defined broadly in the CCLUO, not just to include the company that holds a permit, but also to include individuals involved in the operation of the permit, including a CEO or an individual “participating in the direction, control, or management of the permit holder.”

Arcata Land Company has proposed that, if the project is approved, it would be sold or leased to persons with existing cultivation operations in Humboldt County. If this transfer of ownership or management takes place, the total cultivation area within Humboldt County held by any single person should not exceed eight acres.

As expressed in our March 15 letter, the language in 55.4.5.4.1 is the only community-wide agreement that has been reached in Humboldt County regarding the permissible maximum size for cultivation operations. Enforcing the letter of this ordinance is necessary to stand by the land use principles in Humboldt’s ordinances, and to ensure that all operators are held to the same standards. If the County does not hold the line at 8 acres, based on the wording in 55.4.5.4.1, there is no other objective brightline in Humboldt’s ordinances to limit the size of industrial-scale cultivation projects.

Additional Concerns Following March 18 Planning Commission Meeting

We would also like to raise several points which were not included in our March 15 letter, but which have come to our attention either due to new information which has been disclosed about the project, or additional research over the past few weeks.

First, the Planning Commission should consider the legislative intent at the time Ordinance 1.0 was passed by the Supervisors on January 26, 2016, when cultivation acreage was expected to be capped at the state level. Up until November 14, 2017, cultivation size was planned to be capped at between one and four acres based on language in the MMRSA, Proposition 64, and a draft environmental impact report released by CDFA. On November 16, 2017, this regulation was pulled, enabling the “license-stacking” loophole that now exists to allow for unlimited-scale cultivation. (See “California’s Limit on Big Growers Just Vanished. Here’s Why,” leafly.com/news/politics/ californias-limit-on-big-growers-just-vanished-heres-why). If an explicit cap on industrial-zoned cultivation was not included in Ordinance 1.0, this should be considered in the context of the applicable state laws at the time.

For example, a Lost Coast Outpost article covering the Ordinance 1.0 process on January 12, 2016 stated the following: “The Planning Commission, in contrast, proposed allowing outdoor grows of up to 20,000 square feet with only a zoning clearance certificate and grows larger than that — up to the state limit of one acre — with a Conditional Use Permit.” (“Supervisors Opt to Ban New Grows on Timberland in Final Draft of Medical Marijuana Land Use Ordinance” lostcoastoutpost.com/2016/ jan/12/supervisors-finish-directing-staff-medical-marijua/)

Second, Section 55.4.8.10 of Ordinance 1.0 states that “No more than four commercial cannabis activity permits of any type... may be issued to a single person, as defined herein.” Both Arcata Land Company and the proposed operators of the project hold multiple existing cannabis permits in Humboldt County.

Specifically, the Arcata Land Company already holds three (3) Special Permits with Humboldt County for its processing, manufacturing, and distribution facility (permit # 2019-15594, APN: 506231-010-00). The CEO of Headwaters, under the name “Soul Arc Solutions,” maintains two Conditional Use Permits in Humboldt County (permits # PLN-12085CUP and PLN-11402-CUP).

In other words, Arcata Land Company currently holds three permits for manufacturing, if they add two additional permits for nursery and cultivation, they will have five permits, which would be in violation of Section 55.4.8.10. Headwaters already has two county cultivation permits. If Headwaters assumes operation of the three special permits and the cultivation and nursery permits, they would hold seven permits, in violation of Section 55.4.8.10.

We appreciate the willingness of Arcata Land Company to consider alternative proposals in response to community feedback. If the project is revised to less than eight acres of total size, and if it is in conformance with other legal restrictions, HCGA will remove its opposition.

For reference, relevant sections of Ordinance 1.0 and 2.0 are copied in full on the following pages. Sincerely, Natalynne DeLapp Executive Director Humboldt County Growers Alliance Ross Gordon Policy Director

Hammond Trail extension workshop slated for April 19

The Trinidad Coastal Land Trust will present a Little River Trail Virtual Workshop on Monday, April 19 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. to learn about the project which will connect the Westhaven-Trinidad area to the Hammond Coastal Trail.

The virtual workshop will highlight preliminary opportunities and constraints for trail design and alignment and engage community members in the preliminary design considerations.

The project is in the preliminary design and environmental documentation phase. and environmental documentation phase. Public support will be essential to advance this and future phases of the trail.

Community members are welcome to share their experiences and input on the project through an on-line survey. Go to the TCLT website, trinidadcoastallandtrust.org to find out more or call the TCLT office at (707) 677-2501. In other TCLT news, naturalist Michelle Kunst writes: “Have you ever noticed tiny holes in the ground in the forest and wondered who they belong to?...They are the burrows of turret spiders; a small relative of tarantulas. These ground dwelling spiders construct a silken tube held ridged by soil and plant materials. Turret spiders will lurk inside their dark burrows and can sense the vibration of approaching small insect prey. Besides snagging food, they rarely leave their burrow and are though to live up to 16 years. Keep a keen eye out for turret spider burrows next time you take a stroll in a moist Trinidad Forest.” Trinidad featured in ‘Coastal Living’

The April 2021 issue of Coastal Living has two beautiful color photographs of the Trinidad area and a short article emphasizing the charm and desirability of Trinidad and other coastal towns.

Driving through town after a few days away last week, I observed more cars at the beaches and lanes and Saunders Plaza than I’ve ever seen. Visitors clearly are eager for fresh air and natural beauty after a year of being cooped up inside.

APD/DHHS

ARCATA – Four days a week, a mental health clinician or case manager is stationed at the Arcata Police Department (APD) and goes on calls with officers to conduct outreach and follow up with people in the community who need assistance.

The collaboration between APD and Humboldt County Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) Behavioral Health is known as the Mobile Intervention & Services Team or MIST, and pairs police and mental health professionals to work with people in need of help stabilizing their mental health and securing services and assistance to avoid frequent interactions with law enforcement.

APD Sgt. Brian Hoffman said the partnership is a valuable one. “Our officers are experienced in dealing with these issues and do so every day, but the reality is we do not have the institutional knowledge of what services are readily available at any given time and are also pertinent to each situation.”

That’s where DHHS Behavioral Health Case Manager Shao-Lan Lew-Smith comes in. Three years ago, Lew-Smith was training at the Police Academy when she decided to make a change and left early to take a position at the county’s psychiatric health facility Sempervirens. “I realized the happiest I’ve been in my professional life was working in mental health,” she said. But that experience at the academy helped her gain a broader perspective which aids her in her job today. “I can see where the police are coming from and from the client’s point of view,” she said.

While the MIST program has been in Humboldt County since 2015, this particular group of officers and

JOINING FORCES DHHS Behavioral Health Program Manager Kelly Johnson, Mental Health Case Manager Shao-Lan Lew-Smith, APD Sgt. Brian Hoffman, Mental Health Clinician Kelly Page, APD Lt. Bart Silvers and Supervising Mental Health Clinician Brian Barnes.

Behavioral Health staff have only been working together for a few weeks, but LewSmith said so far, it’s been positive. “The officers have compassion for people, but they’re coming from the enforcement standpoint and don’t really have the time or the experience to listen to what is going on with the person and what the person is telling them.”

Sgt. Hoffman agrees. “With calls for service always accumulating we have difficulty finding the time needed to bring some of these situations to a resolution that require extended assistance and time. MIST personnel are able to provide the time and nurturing needed to make the most out of a situation.” Lew-Smith and Mental Health Clinician Keely Page are each stationed at APD twice a week and get dispatched with officers for behavioral health-related calls. The officer and case manager or clinician take separate vehicles so that if it is safe, and necessary to provide more assistance, the clinician or case manager can stay. “I do follow up with clients who I have previously outreached to, helping cli-
