The Coastal Commission happens to be 100% right in trying to fix the fix we are in. Consider the fact that through sweetheart deals, exemptions and use-permits the LCP has been rendered less than useless in the last 30 years. Because of all the deals the county has been doing, zoning laws became meaningless and can be (and are) challenged all the time. Take Big Wave: the developer proposes 70 affordable housing in a land with W1 (Waterfront) zoning - and the County says "fine" and "no problemos",…

[email protected] In short: 1. It is way too long (three phone books) to be reviewed in 3 weeks 2. Public input needed, workshop would be best 3. Story poles needs to be set up for public to see…

Problems:
1. Comment period starts October 22, yet the BOD meeting is on Nov. 12. This leaves no time to study the EIR or to make meaningful comments.
Sup Gordon, delay the Nov. 12 BOD hearing and organize a EIR workshop.
2. No story poles for people to see the enormous scale. No EIR can be complete without story poles.
3. Lack of notification. This project will affect 22,000 people (and put additional 3,000 trips/day on Hwy 1), yet only a handful of neighbors were notified.

Big Waste is an evil development project that is heavily disguised with the fig-leaf "wellness" center.
It is absolutely insane to propose an office-park development on a marsh that is adjacent to world-famous Mavericks, to double the already oversupplied office space on the coast and add 3,000 extra cars/day to the traffic. It is the wrong project for the wrong place. Only unchecked greed can motivate people to such insanity...
