Connect With Pacifica This Week
|
|
Greetings!
This week I’d like to highlight two important City projects. First, the City’s public input process for updating Pacifica’s Local Coastal Plan for Sea Level Rise impacts is continuing, with expanded public meetings, outreach, and information. Although this effort involves complex information, from sea level rise and coastal protection science to various planning and regulatory frameworks, I encourage you to learn more by visiting the City’s
Sea Level Rise/Local Coastal Plan Update webpage
, and especially the
Frequently Asked Questions
document. On a topic that’s as important as this one is to the Pacifica community, please take the time to learn the facts, and don’t hesitate to send in questions to City staff if you’re hearing information from other sources that you’d like to check.
Secondly, at the City Council meeting on Monday, March 12, the City Council will consider whether to accept new proposals for a hotel development at the 2212 Beach Blvd./former Waste Water Treatment Plant site. The March 12 Council report can be reviewed
here
. During Council’s February 26 consideration of this item, a question arose about whether a different use, such as the concept of a Pacifica Ocean Discovery Center, would be better suited for that site. The Council continued the discussion to the March 12th City Council meeting in order to receive more public input on whether a hotel should be developed at that site. Please submit your input by taking
this survey
.
The deadline for input on this question is 12:00 PM on March 12, 2018
.
Please let me know if you have comments or questions, and
thank you
for wanting to
Connect with Pacifica
!
Sincerely,
KEVIN WOODHOUSE
City Manager
