I believe this is a very good idea, and strongly suggest that Mark West be added to the panel. Mark has the perspective of (1) a past Davis business owner, (2) a past City Council candidate, and (3) a person very knowledgable and conversant on the January 1, 1965 Davis Core Area Plan Supplement produced by Livingston and Blayney City and Regional Planners subsequent to the adoption of the Core Area Plan in December 1961.
Who on the panel will address the sustainability and resilience elements of the Plan and how those are evaluated in the EIR? None of the panelists listed are particularly conversant on those issues and the EIR is about ENVIRONMENTAL impacts.
I was trying to get someone with that background who was on the DPAC, but she had a conflict. So we will see.
Representatives from adjacent neighborhoods should also be on the panel.
Yes, just added Larry Guenther to the panel
Awesome, thanks!
