EXAMPLE COMMENTS

Effective Comments

  • I am concerned about potential

impacts to the neighborhood character and the surrounding biological

  • community. The EIR should focus on

ways to ensure the project is harmonious with the surrounding built and natural environments. Ineffective Comments

  • Permitting this project will destroy the

neighborhood.

  • I am concerned about potential

adverse noise impacts resulting from construction activities. The EIR should focus on ways to reduce construction noise in order to preserve the relative tranquility of the neighborhood.

  • The project will ruin the

neighborhood’s tranquility.
