Re: Request for Extension of Time to 60 days for Public Review for Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), Big Wave Project
Dear Chair Bomberger and Members of the Planning Commission
On behalf of Committee for Green Foothills (CGF), I am requesting a 60-day public review period in order to give the public and responsible agencies sufficient time to review the FEIR for the Big Wave Project.
As you know, the Big Wave Project, as proposed and described in the DEIR, is enormously complex, and includes residential, office, manufacturing and warehousing uses, as well as an onsite wastewater treatment plant, onsite wastewater recycling, conversion of an onsite agricultural well to domestic and industrial use, and solar, wind, and natural gas power generation.
The DEIR, along with its Technical Appendices and Facilities Plan, was over 2,000 pages long. It was a daunting task to digest and comment on the DEIR. The public is keenly interested in the project as evidenced by the 245 written comments on the DEIR.
CGF believes that given the complexity of the proposed project and the high level of interest/controversy it has raised, it is vitally important for the County to allow sufficient time for thoughtful review of the responses to comments.
Therefore, CGF respectfully requests that the review period for the FEIR be extended to 60 days.
Thank you for consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Lennie Roberts, Legislative Advocate
Committee for Green Foothills
