  • Market- What types of retail, if any, do you think would be appropriate or is needed in SEADIP?
    • Other - High tech (Apple store, etc);art related retail; sports related retail; regional shopping that would divert local shoppers from travelling to Orange County (examples: Crate & Barrel, Sur la Table, Talbots, etc.)

    Portland, Or; Santa Monica, CA;
  • Urban Design- What kinds of community do you envision for the future- where all parts work well together and support each other sustainably?
    I see the wetlands being a key piece of the SEADIP area, and it should be utilized as a marketing and educational tool by planners. I do not believe that traffice should be calmed on PCH or Westminster Blvd. I do believe that dedicated bike and pedestrian paths should be established and maintained around and through the wetlands, with connectivity to create a network of mobility within SEADIP that does not depend or restrict automobile traffic.
  • In what ways is the current SEADIP Planned Development working well?
    No response.
  • In what areas does it need improvement?
    All retail is fronted by vast parking lots, with no view of waterways.
  • Outside of the wetland areas what areas should we focus on the most and why? (name up to three)
    Marine Stadium and Colorado Lagoon, Farmers' Market needs a permanent home (like the OC Mix), and LB Marina.
  • Mobility- What should be the role of Pacific Coast Highway within the SEADIP area (mainstreet, thoroughfare, freeway)?
    Pedestrian traffice should be routed over PCH and 2nd street to improve mobility of all types. PCH should remain a major arterial.

    See my comment above

Planning- For the next question please refer to the current SEADIP zoning document found here

Planning- Focus Areas- The Specific Plan work program includes the study of three focus areas. These areas will be analyzed in greater detail and the consultant team may develop conceptual site plans  to gain a better understanding of how their design and mobility could be improved. For the next question refer to Figure 5 of the Opportunities and Constraints Workbook by clicking here.
