<br />Dear City Officials,
<br />My name is Adolfo Sierra, and I represent Madison Park Neighborhood Association (MPNA) as Interim
<br />President. Enclosed is a letter The University of California Irvine, School of Law wrote and sent for your
<br />consideration for the General Plan changes, and I am doing a follow up.
<br />The reason of my message is to request to include the south-east area (maps included for your information) for
<br />changes not only to the land use but to start face out and cap out the industries that discharged particulate matter
<br />(PM 2.5 to PM 10), specially the ones with higher amounts of discharges, and a history of code violations, and
<br />we are call for to include it on the General Plan.
<br />I am citing you from the report Mr. Minh Thai, Executive Director- Planning and Building Agency, prepared
<br />for the July 7, 2020 council meeting, agenda item 19E.
<br />" General Plan Core Values: Protect and enhance our cultural and community assets Create a land use pattern
<br />that promotes healthy and active lifestyles Ensure equitable outcomes and land use distributions. Create a
<br />sustainable and livable city Promote lifelong education and prosperity"
<br />And the general mandate from SB 1000 also cited on the report.
<br />"In addition, SIB 1000 requires cities' General Plans to include EJ elements, goals and policies in other
<br />elements that facilitate transparency and public engagement in the planning and decision - making processes,
<br />reduce harmful pollutants and the associated health risks in environmental justice communities, and
<br />promote equitable access to health - inducing benefits such as healthy food options, housing, public facilities,
<br />and recreation. Throughout the process, EJ specific goals, policies, and implementation actions will be
<br />included throughout all elements of the new General Plan."
