Re: Comment on the 6700 East Pacific Coast Highway Mixed Use Project (SPR 22- 093); Planning Commission Agenda Item 5
Dear Chair Verduzco-Vega, Vice Chair Templin, Honorable Planning Commissioners, and Ms. Harbin:
I am writing on behalf of Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (“SAFER”) regarding the 6700 East Pacific Coast Highway Mixed Use Project, including all actions related or referring to the proposed construction of a mixed-use project consisting of 281 residential dwelling units and 3,100 square feet of commercial retail space in a building with 592,100 square feet of total area located at 6700 East Pacific Coast Highway (APNs: 7242-012-006 and 7242-012-007) in the City of Long Beach (“Project”), to be heard as Agenda Item 5 at the Planning Commission’s April 20, 2023 meeting.
The City’s reliance on the Consistency Evaluation for the Project is in violation of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). SAFER objects to the to the Project’s reliance on the Southeast Area Specific Plan Program Environmental Impact Report (“SEASP EIR”) (State Clearinghouse No. 2015101075). The SEASP EIR is not a project-specific EIR, but rather programmatic EIR. A project-specific EIR is required to analyze this project and mitigate its impacts.
Therefore, SAFER requests that the Planning Commission decline to approve the Project at this time and, instead, direct city staff to prepare an EIR for the Project and circulate the Draft EIR for public review and comment in accordance with CEQA prior to any approval.
Sincerely,
Victoria Yundt
