1. Eureka Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT Master Sign Permit Location: 4320 Broadway; APN: 019-261-003 Project: Master Sign Permit (SGNM-23-1)
The Eureka Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT dealership is requesting approval to use several existing signs and add one new sign at their location on Broadway. The signs include wall signs and a pole sign. These signs deviate from the city’s sign standards, so they need a special permit. The property owner and applicant are requesting permission to use the signs that do not meet the current standards. The application was submitted in July 2023, and the staff recommends holding a public hearing and approving the application. The Design Review Committee will vote on this recommendation.

This report is about a project called the Tuluwat Island Project Phase I, proposed by the Wiyot Tribe. The project aims to improve their ceremonial site on Tuluwat Island by constructing ceremonial structures and informational signage. The project has been reviewed by the Design Review Committee, and they recommend holding a public hearing and approving Phase I with some conditions. The proposed structures will be small in size and made of natural materials using traditional building methods. The project includes clearing vegetation for pedestrian paths and a ceremonial circle and removing an existing temporary dock. The project has been designed to be harmonious with the surroundings and preserve the beauty of Tuluwat Island. The project is part of a larger restoration effort for the island, which has historical and cultural significance to the Wiyot Tribe.
