What do you like about this plan?
No response.
Are there any land uses that you would change?
I run the California Adaptive Rowing Program (CARP) in Long Beach. We welcome participants from the disabled communities of Los Angeles and Orange Counties, and surrounding areas. We need a new home or aquatic center. CARP has a limited amount of space which prevents us from growing and branching out to include the type of rehabilitating aquatic programs we need to run.

Draft Land Use Plan

Based on community input, this draft plan preserves SEADIP's established residential neighborhoods, wetland areas and natural resources and existing neighborhood commercial uses and open spaces. The map also inculdes a new designation that incorporates coastal wetland habitat and allow for recreational areas near the channel. Additionally, new mixed-use designations add flexibility to the types of uses that are allowed in the heart of SEADIP to create the distinctive, walkable and active place that has been enviseioned by the community. Please reference the annotated Draft Land Use Plan when answering the questions below. For a comparison of acreage between the draft plan and the 1977 SEADIP plan click here.

What is a disruptive statement?

A statement

containing personal attacks, profanity, commercial advertising or content which is entirely off-topic, and/or
from a user who has falsified their registration information with the intent to post multiple statements in one topic or to misrepresent their city of residence.

Why does Open Town Hall monitor for disruptive statements?

OpenGov is a non-partisan company dedicated to building public trust in government and broadening civic engagement. Many people will not participate if the forum has disruptive statements.

Does Open Town Hall find many disruptive statements?

No. Disruptive statements are quite rare - less than one in a thousand statements are disruptive.

What does Open Town Hall do if they find a disruptive statement?

Open Town Hall

moves the statement to a different web page,
describes the problem in an email to the author, and
invites the author to change the statement.

Does Open Town Hall ever edit or delete statements?

Never. Only the statement's author can edit or delete a statement.

If I disagree with someone, can I post my opinion?

Yes. Open Town Hall encourages open dialog which, by necessity, includes disagreements.

How do I know if my statement is a 'disagreement' or a 'personal attack'?

Personal attacks are disparaging remarks which impute motives to a person's action. Statements of fact, or of your own opinion are generally not personal attacks.
Here are some examples of statements which are, and are not, personal attacks.

Personal Attack	Not A Personal Attack
He lied.	He said he did X, but in fact he did Y.
She misrepresented the truth.	I don't trust her.
He is greedy.	He is making plenty of money.
It is merely a power play on her part.	She will announce her candidacy soon.
