Verny Carvajal <br /> October 6, 2020 <br /> Page 8 <br /> Similarly, he Update proposes a new"Industrial/Flex" land use designation in these <br /> areas, which will promote "large-scale office industrial flex spaces, multi-level corporate <br /> offices, and research and development uses." DPEIR at 3-18. The DPEIR must consider <br /> the potential impacts of these newly-designated industrial areas on existing residents in <br /> nearby housing. <br /> IV. Conclusion <br /> As currently proposed, the Update does not provide for sufficient open space or <br /> affordable housing, and would undermine the City's Housing Opportunity Ordinance. As <br /> set forth above, Rise Up Willowick urges the City to (1) continue to designate the <br /> Willowick site as open space until and unless there is a proposal for developing part of it <br /> with affordable housing, (2)provide for more affordable housing in order to avoid <br /> undermining the HOO and causing an internal inconsistency within the General Plan, and <br /> (3) revise the DPEIR to fully analyze the Update's impacts on displacement and <br /> environmental justice. Rise Up Willowick respectfully requests that the City revise the <br /> Update to address these issues, revise the DPEIR, and recirculate both for public <br /> comment. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> SHUTE, MIHALY & WEINBERGER LLP <br /> Gabriel M.B.
