As you can see,
community input on the Draft SEIR/EIS is due by August 12th, which is
less than a month away.
Project
Overview: Basically the “Pacific Concourse
Project” proposes to construct two buildings containing a total of 450
residential units in two separate buildings, with a maximum height of 55
feet.
Developer’s
Objective: According to Section 2.4 (a) of the
above-referenced EIR “The State of California has declared that the
availability of housing is of vital statewide importance”. Apparently in order to solve the
statewide problem, the developer feels that it is appropriate to fill the
void in our area. Don’t
forget that directly across the street south of Del Aire an 850 unit
residential community on the site of the LAAFB has been proposed. The development of both projects
will contribute a population of approximately 2,600 people within an area
of less than a mile radius (not including children). This will greatly affect our
community, whose resources are spread too thin already. If that isn’t enough, Del Aire
will be directly affected by the LAX expansion as well.
The EIR states that
there are alternatives to this plan (Page ES-2 of the Executive Summary):
1.
The No Project Alternative would deny the proposed
project application without further development.
2.
The Existing Entitlement Alternative would develop office buildings
with a maximum height of 200 feet.
3.
Reduced Density Alternative would reduce the density by
half, by lowering the height of the structure, leaving 225 units.
Remember – The deadline for written comments
is August 12th!
Your Input is Vital to the welfare of our community!
