If you have thoughts on how you want the city of Inglewood to look in 20 years, now is your opportunity to share those with city officials.
Through Oct. 15, Inglewood city staff are looking for public input as they piece together an environmental impact report for the city’s general plan, the guide that sets the stage for decisions on everything from transportation to the types of buildings that can be built in different neighborhoods.
It will be the first full rewrite of the city map in four decades. Planners are setting up an option on Manchester Boulevard for new mixed housing and commercial projects. The corner of La Brea and Centinela avenues could get buildings as high as six stories.
All written comments will be attached to the draft environmental report, according to the city. The comment period opened on Sept. 15, and locals have until 5 p.m. on Oct. 15 to submit comments.
City officials expect to complete their environmental impact report next summer, and the general plan to go before the Inglewood City Council next fall.
You can find more information on the project at nextlevelinglewood.com.
Here’s how to comment on the general plan
