Here is a list of a few talking points you may raise at public comment on any day Wed-Fri this week at the Marina del Rey Hotel.

• the piecemeal process of redevelopment that obscures cumulative impacts, ignores the California Environmental Quality Act.
   
• The need for a proper, community-based Master Plan (see Argonaut article)
   
• the lack of ANY opportunity for public participation in the land use decisions of parcels (eg development uses public parking lots)
   
• the threatened loss of public parking, views and promised recreational development
   
• The fact that County still intends to move the birds even though the Commission said not to follow this method
   
• the lack of plans for additional recreational opportunities for a growing population
   
• the poor performance of completed redevelopment projects (eg Esprit I, Admiralty Apartments, high vacancy rates)
   
• the made-to-order boater "study" that used skewed and flawed data provided by the County
   
• the developer-heavy "LCP Review Response working group" setup, and the lack of any public hearing by the County on the Review, as promised to the Coastal Commission in January 2008
   
• the County's continued refusal to hold a public review of its comprehensive redevelopment plan (or to fully inform us of what that plan is)
