Thus, all potential impacts should be examined carefully, including impacts with respect to traffic, parking, the delivery of emergency services / disaster relief, sea level rise, beach access and community aesthetics, to name a few. For those who wish to submit their own comments on the scope of the EIR, the deadline is 4 p.m., Monday, January 21 (MLK Day).   All comments must be submitted in writing to:   Johnny Le City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning 221 North Figueroa Street, Suite 1350 Los Angeles, California 90012 [email protected]   Fight Back, Venice! will be submitting a letter.
