The Planning and Community Development Department invites you to the fourth Bergamot Area Plan (www.bergamotplan.net) workshop, which will explore how Community Benefits can help to achieve the vision for high-quality neighborhoods, walkability, open space and daily needs.

Please join us on February 7th at Virginia Avenue Park’s Thelma Terry Room from 7:00PM – 9:00PM to discuss:

  • §  What is a Community Benefit: understand the difference between baseline components required for new development and “benefits” that are desired by the community.
  • §  Area Needs and Priorities: review previous community discussion about the Community Benefit priorities for the Bergamot Transit Village and Mixed-Use Creative districts and provide your input to update them.

Your input on these concepts is needed to design a methodology for supporting local benefits that serve the Santa Monica community.
