Equity institute. We at the center strongly support the twin purposes of ceqa which are Environmental Protection and informed selfgovernment. And we all know that compliance with ceqa including public input has improved countless public and private projects in california over the last 40 years. Its resulted in tangible protection for endangered species and their habitats, cleaner hair and water and more efficient use of scarce public resources. Although many of the proposed amendments before you today appear to be technical conforming changes, the proposal as a whole would make Public Participation in city Decision Making even more difficult. Even more difficult than sitting in these hard benches for many hours as weve done in many chambers here. And were concerned that the proposed amendments improperly subvert the important public informed selfgovernment principles of ceqa. So, first and foremost, the repeal of existing appeal procedures and administrative code 31. 16 and the replace

They usually are. And ceqa is only a very small part of that. Thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners. My name is tess well born representing the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. [speaker not understood]. This late draft legislation is not yet. This was crafted without significant input from environmentalists, neighbors, social justice, housing, tenant Rights Groups and Historic Preservation, and now a week after it was or so after it was introduced, we are being asked to come in and help tailor it. But what has to be done is toss this out and actually say, lets have everybody at the table at the beginning. Its very difficult to go through all of these pages and to manager this spot or that spot. This is a failing of public process here to have something presented with that kind of timeline, this kind of impact and with no involvement by the public. Ceqa offers many benefits to city residents, government, and to developers by providing considerable notice to the public, encoura

This is a failing of public process here to have something presented with that kind of timeline, this kind of impact and with no involvement by the public. Ceqa offers many benefits to city residents, government, and to developers by providing considerable notice to the public, encouraging developers and residents to Work Together and to develop mutually beneficial plans, to reduce appeals and costly litigation which is beyond most residents and Community Organizations means anyway, and the government doesnt need costly litigation either. Also, the ceqa process allows reducing appeals to the board of supervisors. But, in fact, there are only about 10 appeals to the board of supervisors in any given year of the thousands of projects. So, thats kind of a safe argument to say we have to protect the board of supervisors fro

Commissioners, good afternoon. Judy berkowitz, coalition for San Francisco neighborhoods. The Coalition Urges you to strongly disapprove this proposal in your recommendation to the board of supervisors. Along with we would we urge you to one of you to make a motion of improper notice because you were not provided with the appropriate documents in a timely manner. Id like to warn you, there may or may not be hyperbole ensuing. [laughter] this proposal is basically environmental deregulation. As an example, i believe commissioner moore asked, and i would like to bring up again several others of park merced. If park merced had undergone this if this legislation had been in place when park merced was first a twinkle in the eye, everybody weighed in on it with approval because it was all two stories and it fit in the good earn apartments that are there now. However, at the end its was power buildings and now is undergoing litigation. Fit in with the Garden Apartments there is one instance,
