Read CCLR's Comments on HCD's Draft Guidelines for New TOD Program
On August 8th the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) released draft guidelines for the Proposition 1C-funded Transit Oriented Development Implementation Program. HCD accepted written public comments on the draft guidelines until September 10, 2007. At the invitation of HCD, CCLR organized a meeting on August 31st with HCD staff and proponents of a number of large, transformative TOD developments across the state to discuss some significant concerns with the draft guidelines. Those concerns helped inform CCLR's official comment letter, which you may download by CLICKING HERE.
CCCL looks forward to a continuing dialogue with HCD as they incorporate stakeholder feedback to craft a TOD program that effectively supports the development of sustainable, transit-oriented communities.
Read CCLR's Comments on DTSC's Vapor Intrusion Guidance Document
DTSC released its draft "Guidance for the Evaluation and Mitigation of Subsurface Vapor Intrusion to Indoor Air” in January 2006. CCLR believes this Guidance may present impediments to redevelopment in urban areas with industrial and commercial land use histories.
In 2006 CCLR convened a stakeholder forum composed of practitioners and experts in the field of vapor intrusion from across the state to discuss the Guidance, and to identify improvements and enhancements to the Guidance. Recommendations from this workshop informed the crafting of CCLR's comment letter, which reflects the consensus of the workshop group. Please see our comment letter by clicking here. If you have any questions, please call Evan Reeves at 415.398.1080 x102.
