Activists say planning proposal would impair their efforts
From the SF Examiner this morning, “If approved, the new legislation, called Better Neighborhoods Plus and sponsored by Supervisor Jake McGoldrick, would expand the concept and could have a big impact on how The City’s eastern neighborhoods, including the Mission, parts of Potrero Hill and South of Market, are developed in the next few years.”
“The plans, started five years ago in the Central Waterfront, Balboa Park and Market-Octavia areas, aimed to mesh housing, transportation, parks and stores and map out details ranging from the density of buildings to the amount of parking.”
“But some neighborhood activists say the plan would dilute their ability to challenge projects they don’t like. For example, if a building meets the height, design and density requirements spelled out in a plan, it would be more difficult to challenge.”
