LOS ANGELES — The Port of Los Angeles Nov. 6 released a Draft Subsequent Environmental Impact Report or Draft SEIR to the 2009 San Pedro Waterfront EIS/EIR for the West Harbor modification project.

The proposed project involves the development of an approximate 6,200-seat, 100,000-square-foot-amphitheater on 2.1 acres of port property leased to West Harbor. The proposed project includes the development of a nearby 2,600-stall parking lot in San Pedro, which would be available to theatergoers and other waterfront visitors.

The Draft SEIR has determined that implementation of the proposed project would result in significant, unavoidable impacts related to air quality, including greenhouse gasses, noise and transportation.

The Draft SEIR is available for review on the Port of Los Angeles website at portoflosangeles.org/ceqa.

A virtual public meeting will be held for the proposed project Nov. 14, on Zoom. Simultaneous Spanish translation is available. No registration is required.
