Hi all, 1) A couple of years ago we successfully took a stand in opposition to the Home Depot that was almost grandfathered into existence in the Bayview/Bernal Bayshore corridor. Now Supervisor Maxwell is moving to use the same grandfathered approval of a big box use in that area to have the space taken over by another multi-national big box hardware chain; Lowes. Tomorrow (Monday, March 15) in the Land Use Committee, interim zoning controls to begin the process of moving the project forward will be taken up. See http://www.sfbos.org/ftp/uploadedfiles/bdsupvrs/committees/materials/LU03151... Since Campos is a cosponsor of the zoning rules, it is possible that he will be more willing to compromise in favor of the big box than Ammiano was, so this could be a tough fight if we take it up. I'm going to be in that committee on a couple other issues and will also speak against big box stores, however if we are really going to take a stand on this, we should discuss it at this month's General Membership meeting. I'll scope out the details at the hearing and try to talk to Campos before our meeting. I recommend we take at least 10 minutes on our agenda for this. 2) Aaron Goodman with Park Merced Residents wants some time on our agenda to seek our help in opposing a development that they are opposing in their complex. Attached is a PDF he sent me that lays out the issue in detail. Should we give this 5 minutes? cheers Eric B
