Subject: Public Comment for the West Campus Upper Plateau Project, Recirculated Draft Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 2021110304

Dear Mr. Fairbanks,

I am writing as a concerned community member regarding the West Campus Upper Plateau Project (State Clearinghouse No. 2021110304). I believe that the Recirculated Draft Environmental Impact Report could benefit from further revisions and community input, especially concerning its Environmental Justice (EJ) policy.

I suggest a thorough review of the EJ element under the CEQA process and recommend a pause on any warehouse developments until this review is complete. This approach would ensure that the project aligns with the community's needs and environmental standards.

Moreover, I urge you to consider non-industrial alternatives for the West Campus Upper Plateau. Engaging with the community and exploring various options would reflect a genuine commitment to civic engagement and environmental justice.

Thank you for considering my views on this important matter.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your Zip Code]
