Summary

The county is requiring the Humboldt Commons senior housing project to spend about $200,000 paving a 13-foot strip along Hiller Road on top of roughly $1 million in other public improvements. The appeal was denied 3-2, and some supervisors want grant funding for the full boulevard build-out within the five-year window.
