Developers here one developer. You know, for them its great. For the rest of us, terrible, unbelievable. Supervisor peskin says he cant understand what the problem is. He says tens of thousands of ceqa determinations are being made every year and only a couple dozens are appealed. Thats a small price to pay to try to save our environment, our quality of life. Its far more important than developers or speculators getting their profits. Thank you. Good afternoon. My name is genie kwok. The proposed changes to San Franciscos ceqa procedures have many problems such as incomprehensible appeals deadlines and a fiveacre exemption [speaker not understood]. It is on a 20acre campus. The focus of my talking to you today would be to ask you to please protect the peoples input and not allow the proposed changes that decrease opportunities for san franciscans to provide input and influence on projects prior to construction. The proposed shortened time period for appeals and in put provide insuffici
A full board. Its very possible, and in fact likely, that a subcommittee of the board would be making the hearing the public hearing and the ceqa determination. Furthermore, there is no requirement under these amendments that the Planning Department would be engaged in that process. So, the clarifications here are inadequate. Second, the change allows more projects to receive minimal review under negative declaration. Weve heard so much, based upon the standard of fair argument versus substantial evidence. As youve heard multi38 times, there is a good question as to whether this is legal under california state law based upon 30 years of ceqa history here. And finally, the changes are requiring an approval action before anyone can make a ceqa appeal is ultimately going to inhibit the ability of Community Members to make contact with this board and with decisionmakers about particular projects. And it does so in an ambiguous way. Its unclear what the first approval approval action is and
Community members to make contact with this board and with decisionmakers about particular projects. And it does so in an ambiguous way. Its unclear what the first approval approval action is and who is going to be making that approval action. Accordingly, these changes overall mean less informed discussion of Environmental Impacts and increase the probability that the board of supervisors will be forced to make a decision about a project that has been less carefully scrutinized and without the independent judgment of this Planning Commission. Accordingly, we recommend a rejection to the board of supervisors. Thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners. My name is shannon gallagher, and i received notice of this hearing today and this issue being aired through the newspaper. When i read that i had single handedly stopped the project at Lafayette Park using ceqa, i actually aired my complaints when the city began construction as the park with no Building Permits. And i aired tho
My name is [speaker not understood] and im a member of the sierra club. I believe we need more Community Involvement in the shaping of our city, not less. This legislation makes a complicated process even more difficult for the average citizen by limiting the time frame for commenting and appeals. It also replace he the current Legal Standard of fair argument with substantial evidence. By doing so it cripple the democratic process. Forces groups or individuals to hire lawyers, scientists or consultants making it so we have no voice unless we have large sums of money to effectively pay someone to speak for them. This is wrong and this legislation needs to be thrown out. Thank you. Hi, my name is terrence faulkner. [speaker not understood] for many years, 1974. Ive had a chance to see a lot of local politics. Supervisor Dianne Feinstein when she was a supervisor more than 34 years ago frequently used to joke and she said this both to the press and on the floor of the board, if the develo
