[Sustain] [SFGP-A] Email Today To Defend Local Pet Stores From Chain

[Bruce Wolfe]

Local residents have a say in this by law. We did it in the Haight to prevent Urban Outfitters from moving in. But, yes, CU does override that. 

Maybe it's time to amend the law to disallow CU exceptions.

| pricing. The conditional use permit goes before the Planning Commission 
| this Thursday, in City Hall Room 400, at 4pm).
