Pattern with a lot of people who purchase homes in the city, violate the law, pay the penalties and still able to move forward with their projects, which sometimes, unfortunately, changes the character of a community. So im trying to understand how that continues to happen in these particular cases. Supervisor breed, the Planning Department shares those concerns. And thats why weve asked for legislation that will strengthen and enhance the administrative penalties, provisions of the planning code, that are in sections 176. And as far as allowing a project to proceed, the remedies that have been issues are ones that have suspended all work on the project. This project sponsor is not being allowed to proceed. Work was done out of scope and theres work the subject of a discretionary review hearing pending before the Planning Commission. What is proceeding is this hearing on the adequacy of the ceqa determination. Unless this body finds that the Planning Department improperly i issued that
Ceqa appeal had to be filed, which was filed on november 22. You would think when a ceqa appeal is filed, anything permitted would stop, but it wasnt the case here. Work continued on this site. And to me, its a pattern of bad behavior here. It wasnt until december 21. Yall recall what was going on over the holidays and certainly mr. The holidays after nearly two weeks of my office issuing a stop work order was issued. I find this shocking. The sponsor demolished chimneys without a permit, which has left the home damage and easier to seek demolition approval. Ive voiced many frustrations with planning not making common sense decisions with their reviewal to make common sense changes and landmarking neighborhood without letting the supervisors to know. In this case, they allowed one part of the project to move forward with the rest under review. It doesnt make sense to me. In terms of the ceqa appeal. And the main issue i had. And i will not belabor the point, is the issues that supervis
Up in previous appeals that have come before this board. Where projects have violated the law. Theyve been allowed to move forward and there are penalties associated with those violations and i think im trying to understand how its possible theres been numerous violations with this project and then issued a requirement to pay certain penalties, and maybe not by the Planning Department, but based on other challenges, and then were still moving this project forward and there are you know, this seems to be a pattern with a lot of people who purchase homes in the city, violate the law, pay the penalties and still able to move forward with their projects, which sometimes, unfortunately, changes the character of a community. So im trying to understand how that continues to happen in these particular cases. Supervisor breed, the Planning Department shares those concerns.

Manner were rolling, within two years, the deficit will increase to approximately 262 million. Ed said to take care of the program, all departments are going to have to cut back at least 5 of the expenditures on their departments. Moreover, i came up here well over several years ago and pointed out that a negative cash flow was going to take place on the grounds that hightech Companies Twitter is getting a minnesota munl of 125 million a year of free money along with five other hightech Companies Getting a minimum of 125 million a year of free money, which is 3. 1 million. Youve been rolling like this for seven years. So seven years with this amount of money is 217 billion. How can you give this amount of free money to hightech companies that are not homeless in the street, not suffering from a combination of mental and physical disabilities, and yet when you campaign you claim you want to take care of the homeless problem. I further move to have each and every one of you look in the m
Waive it, but then theres no charity as to what it would do on contaminated soil. I dont need you to answer that at this time. I will move on with the presentation, and then we can get into more detail about questions, but im still not satisfied with the argument as it relates to that. At this time, i will ask the project sponsor or representative to come forward. You have up to 10 minutes for presentation. Thank you, president breed. Members of the board. Im tom toney on behalf of the project sponsor. The architect is here as well. Were available to answer any questions you may have. Staff presentation and written responses have addressed each of the arguments in this appeal. The appeal concerns the ceqa document at issue in this project. While we understand and appreciate the character of the home, there is simply no violation of ceqa in this case. Ceqa is very clear concerning Historic Resources. The project may cause Significant Impact when the project demolishes or materially alte
