The results are in! The survey achieved a Confidence Level of 99% and < 4.4% Margin of Error.

The Community Plan Survey originated with the Department of City Planning (DCP)'s presentations at its June 2019 Workshop. These included an Arts District designation for Venice Boulevard in Mar Vista and Venice. As there was no definition in the presentations for what such a district would entail, the community became engaged in dialogue with DCP on this subject. 

Tonight's PLUM meeting will have a second presentation (with new plans) for the development at 2512 Centinela Avenue. Also on the agenda is a develpment for 12610-12616 Venice Blvd. View the agenda here and the planning documents here.

Other meetings this week include Executive & Finanace (Wednesday, 7pm) and a joint meeting with Transportation & Infrastructure and Public Health & Safety (Thursday, 6pm).

Also, feedback on the Community Plan Update is coming to a close (9/15) while the DCP is providing Office Hours for discussion (Reserve Here). Be sure to view the Plan and provide your input as these changes will permanently affect Mar Vista.
