Playa Vista Phase Two Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”)

The Grassroots Venice Neighborhood Council (GRVNC) Land Use and Planning Committee (LUPC) has created an ad hoc subcommittee which will work together with the GRVNC Conservation Committee to gather comments on the Draft EIR (DEIR) from GRVNC stakeholders.

The subcommittee will then compile these comments and submit a final comment letter on behalf of the GRVNC to the Board of Directors for approval. The Board of Directors will consider the subcommittee’s comment letter and transmit these comments to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning with an appropriate cover letter including:
1) purpose is to communicate stakeholder concerns and facilitate community input on the EIR.
2) outline the major areas addressed in comments
3) request the Planning Department address each of the comments thoroughly, which will enable informed discussion so that GRVNC will be able to take a position on the development subsequent to the release and review of the Final EIR.

Stakeholders may submit all comments in one of three ways:
1) via email to lupc@grvnc.org;
2) via U.S. Mail to PO Box 2224, Venice, CA, 90291, or
3) dropped off at the Vera Davis McClendon Center at 610 California Ave., Venice.

Comments should be addressed to “GRVNC LUPC Subcommittee.”
COMMENTS ARE DUE BY 5:00pm Monday, December 15, 2003.
Comments received later will not be included in GRVNC’s comment letter.
