From chinatowns map he posted dozens of parcels within the latina cull surgical district. There is no public process. It doesnt limit. That resolution might be strengthened to say it eliminated it. We have a planning process before we mass up zone. That takes i it away. You are not allowed to create a area plan for the neighborhood. Northeast zone is up zoned. We dont say we are doing massive building here so maybe the area in the cultural district might be under the height levels. That is not allowed. It is a buy right kind of zoning. That makes no sense, particularly in communities that have been targeted historically as well as right now. Right now the mission incorrectly at the 25 level we heard discussion projects are coming forward. Land is bought, projects are developed and put into the pipeline. That is happening as well. I think i want to highlight this builds no housing. It starts by saying, give away billions of dollars to landowners and developers and hope they decide to bu
So the restaurant has no protection from a food truck outside of the building where the restaurant is essentially. You are saying its completely outside of the scope. Because its further inside the building. Okay. And theres a gap. Im not convinced thats what this means but thats how you are saying you interpret it thats fine but i dont think thats what this means. I think this means that the primary entrance is the way you get to the restaurant. And if that entrance is more than doesnt have direct street access then this doesnt apply. Does that make sense . So you know the big double doors at Cheesecake Factory thats the primary entrance. Doesnt have direct street access so it doesnt apply. As i read this, thats what these words mean. I agree. Might want to go back and talk to whoever at public works drafted it. I agree. Its in the ordinance . Yeah, i mean so. Anyway. Probably none of that matters. The ordinance is different. So why is the language different between these two things b
In addition there are specific procedural requirements and moratorium that are implemented through the Development Agreement. There would be a moratorium on new Development Agreements by aau from one year of the Development Agreement to give the the city a pause on any Development Activity other than thats contemplated by this deal. Theres a moratorium on signage proposals for two years after the scheduled performance is completed so two years after the work is done, there would be a ban on proposing new signs to its properties that are subject to this Development Agreement. Theres a 30day Development Agreement. There are several system improvements. Im almost done. Theres a payment of 1. 5 million fee to the sfmta. All this i think goes towards the academys policy of not allowing students to park anywhere. Or not to have parking spaces. So all students dont have parking provided by the academy and the shuttle system is there for them to use. The academys campus as andrew mentioned, we
The committee to continue this item. Next speaker. Good morning. Now it is afternoon. Peter cohen. The pdas at a technical level, i would like to step back and think about this item in contrast to the last item sb50 and the conversation about local community planning. It is very encouraging to hear your Planning Department staff and i am thinking about supervisor browns comments early about the staff being helpful. It is not a technical resource. You didnt see the Planning Department staff taking a position opposing sb50 based on the amendment the board put forward. Frankly, that is what a Planning Department should be doing. Unfortunately they were silent and it took the board to do that technical work. Now the Planning Department is coming forward with a pda proposal saying this is not dictating zoning or telling you your process is taken away from you. This is the short of music to a lot of folks ears about doing the planning right. Of course, all of the details matter much. It seem
