Re: Interim Mission Controls Update. It is only three months to the election. Please let the voters decide.

[Robert R. Tillman]

Dear Claudia,

Thank you. I will be traveling abroad from August 2nd through August 14th and so will not be able to attend the August 6th meeting.

Given that the Mission Moratorium Ballot Initiative will be on the November ballot and that both pro and anti-development groups have strongly opposed the proposed Mission Interim Controls, I do not think that such controls are necessary at all. If the Ballot Initiative passes, then the Mission Interim Controls are moot, as the Ballot Initiative will shut down all development covered by the Interim Mission Controls. If the Ballot Initiative passes, then the San Francisco voters will have expressed a clear preference for development to proceed, and the Planning Commission should respect their wishes. In either case, the Mission Interim Controls are unnecessary. Their only result is to occupy the valuable time of the Planning Commission and of all concerned parties and to create unnecessary expense for everyone. In the last meeting on this subject, I heard several Planning Commissioners express concerns regarding the arbitrary nature of such controls and regarding the difficulty of applying such controls fairly. Why struggle with these issues for no reason?

I expect that the Mission Moratorium Ballot Initiative will be very hard fought. I do not see the Mission Interim Controls as impacting that fight in any significant respect. I suggest that we all get out of the way of that fight.

It is only three months to the election. Please let the voters decide. 

Sincerely,

Bob

Dear all,

 

Please save this date to discuss a proposal for interim controls in the Mission that will be in front of the Planning Commission on July 9^th for their consideration. If adopted, the proposed interim controls would be in place for six months, adding heightened scrutiny to certain development projects during this period.  Unlike the moratorium which would have placed a temporary hold on most development, the draft interim controls would enable projects to move forward, but would apply added scrutiny.  As you know, housing affordability is a critical issue currently, and, therefore, I feel it is important to make explicit the level of increased scrutiny that would be applied.

 

The full proposal will be posted on the calendar at the end of the day today and is attached to this email. If you can’t make this date, please send your availability for the next couple of weeks. While the Commission would consider initiation on July 9, the earliest interim controls could be adopted would be July 23.

 

John
