LCP Consultation Draft
On November 22, the City has concluded its consultation period with California Coastal Commission (CCC) staff on the Consultation Draft of the Local Coastal Program (LCP). During the consultation period, City staff traveled to the CCC’s San Francisco office at 45 Fremont Street to meet with staff from the North Central Coast District and to talk through different aspects of the Consultation Draft. We also had several conference calls to continue the conversation on various chapters of the document.
The result of the consultation period was written comments from CCC staff received by the City on November 22. The comments are divided into two parts - a Comment Letter with attachments, and a Marked-up Version of the Consultation Draft with comments and suggested edits to text included throughout the document.a and provided by the CCC staff to the City on November 22.
The CCC staff’s comments on the LCP Consultation Draft are available for public review and comment until January 3. Submit your comments to Bonny O’Connor who is the Plan Pacifica team member leading the City’s work on the LCP update.
City staff is reviewing the CCC staff’s comments and needs to know what you think. We encourage you to review and comment on the changes to the Consultation Draft requested by the CCC staff. The City’s next step is to prepare recommended responses to the comments it has received and proceed to a public hearing with the Planning Commission on January 20. The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council on whether to adopt the LCP as presented by City staff at the hearing. A City Council hearing to adopt the LCP could occur as early as February. We will announce the meeting date once it is set.
Other Public Input Opportunities
You may have heard that the City has ramped up its work on the Sharp Park Specific Plan (SPSP). There are two exciting public input opportunities on the SPSP which will be ongoing through December 8. We encourage you to participate in both, as follows:
Review and Comment on the Existing Conditions Report
Participate in the SPSP Existing Conditions Report Online Survey
The Existing Conditions Report is an important tool which will guide the creation of potential policies in the next stage of the SPSP process. We hope you will share your input.
Thanks to those of you who attended the Planning Commission meeting on November 18 to discuss the Existing Conditions Report. Your feedback was valuable to the Plan Pacifica team. We will also announce additional public input opportunities soon including community meetings and hearings in early-2020. Be sure to sign-up for email updates so you don’t miss anything!
Plan Pacifica Process
We are excited to continue our work to improve the Pacifica community. If there is anything on your mind related to the Plan Pacifica process, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Christian
