LUPC reviews major development proposals, land-use policy issues, and planning decisions that affect everyday quality of life—housing, traffic/parking, public space, neighborhood character, and more. LUPC Committee members should be familiar with the basics of land use, planning, and development.

Reported symptoms include vomiting, sudden weakness, lethargy, seizures, cardiac arrest, collapse, and foaming at the mouth. Possible causes under consideration include rodent poison, toxic algae blooms, and other toxins or viruses, though the actual cause remains unknown. The Venice Canal Association urges dog owners to keep pets leashed, avoid sniffing or eating grass/objects, refrain from drinking from canals or puddles, and seek immediate veterinary care if unusual symptoms appear.
