Weeks that has been truly impressive from the website that is occupysf. Com or you can actually donate contributions to the organization to other efforts of solidarity from labor organizations. I do see others here that have been a part of this, giving support to the movement. It has also been significant that when supervisors campos, at the lows, kim, chu, and others were out with many of you in the audience that wednesday morning, we saw the growth of thousands of people there until 4 00 a. M. Or 5 00 a. M. In the morning. Being part of the general assembly, i have also seen incredible democracy. I think a lot of the slogans that this is what democracy looks like you do not really understand it until youre there participating in peoples democracy of the occupied movements. I also want to say that i am impressed that in the meeting, a number of us were with a number of the leaders of occupysf, labor, social justice, and clergy associations last thursday with the mayors office, and the
Which therefore not require another determination. So the decision is with the e r o so this process is related to the decision being made by the environmental officer. So i want to follow up on that. So the Environmental Department has gone through this review and someone questions the whole path and the e r o is going to sit in judgment and i mean, thats where im confused. It doesnt make sense to me how are they going to change their judgment it will be brought in the public venue. I have a question for ms. Rogers. This is more a of a global. Yesterday was the first passing of the trailing. Theyre not supporting this legislation what happens next and would our opinion be used. Today youll have our hearing and tomorrow the Planning Commission will hear the same item and make a recommendation. Staff and the department will recommend both decisions and well lobby for our decisions at the Committee Meeting where theyll take Public Comment and it will go back to if you board. But we do ha
You read the newspaper in his other life hes a geologist and on another argument this was too costly and too time consuming and would eat up the resources of the planning staff. That argument was made previously and i think that this commission should not take into account if its something 3 needs to be done the Mayors Office will make it happen thank you any other member of the public wish to speak. Seeing none, well close and bring it back to commission. Ill leadoff. At first blush i was hesitating on adding the process, however, thinking about it and the length of time to get to the board of appeals and the amen of time between a project starting and finishing the board of appeals i mean, i think they would not be experts in the field to make sdergsz i think it might go sideways. Bringing it back to the eshthsz r o strengthens the case and would cause folks hesitation on going to the board of appeals if the e r o confirms their decision. I believe this would be a benefit to the proc
Comment first year i think at any time highly problematic so have a mechanism whereby you appeal you have to use the Building Permit to that address the environmental officer. In that case you can delay the process every longer because you can wait until the actual permit t is issued. So if thats the last approval then i have a mechanism to rely on in that respect by appealing the Building Permit itself but to use the permit as an excuse to royal the decision by the environmental officer is problematic. And with respect to the integrity of the planning staff and city departments and everything. Id like to remind everyone that the city lost the case on the bicycling plan and the judge ruled it had to be back for an vial report and the city lost the Housing Element eir so its not also the case the city makes the correct distressing. Tim collins said i dont know if you read the newspaper in his other life hes a geologist and on another argument this was too costly and too time consuming a
Through its initially building process, you know, for a project that is substantially the same project. It feels like theres a possible door opened for another bite of appeal process i have a question for supervisors kims office. The e r o just stated theres an avenue for the board of appeals supervisor kim feels there needs to be another avenue so the public can voice their concern. Whats our opinion of that . I think its important this is related to environmental concerned and environmental dergsz that a project is exempt from a sequa determination. I think the avenue for that is a hearing from the Environmental Review officer. This is it is to this is a question about whether or not the determination of the Environmental Reviewer officer is that there has not been a substantial change to a project which therefore not require another determination. So the decision is with the e r o so this process is related to the decision being made by the environmental officer. So i want to follow
