Re: 2300 Harrison Street
Good Morning Commissioner Melgar, My name is Carlos Bocanegra and I am writing to you on behalf of Cultural Action Network as well as a concerned Mission resident. At the last hearing for the project located 2300 Harrison Street I raised several concerns. Among them was the concern of the project<U+2019>s majority use as a large office project moving under the guise of a housing project to qualify for the St… show more

4/23 PC Item #14 - UMU Legislation
President Koppel, Vice President Moore, and Commissioners, I apologize for the lateness of this note. My office represents the project sponsor for 2300 Harrison Street.

I will be speaking tomorrow at public comment on the UMU legislation to ask for the inclusion of a grandfathering clause, but wanted to also forward my comment in writing in case there are any technical difficulties. The Planning Commission approved the 2300 Harrison project in December 2019. The UMU legislation was introduced in February 2020, when the 2300 Harrison project was on appeal at the Board of Appeals and the Board of Supervisors. Through a set of unique circumstances and the Mayor<U+2019>s Shelter-in-Place Order, the project is now in limbo as the Board has decided not to hear CEQA appeals for the time being, which is also preventing the Board of Appeals appeal from being heard. In the meanwhile, the UMU legislation is proceeding and will likely become effective before the pending appeals have been heard. 2300 Harrison followed all applicable Planning processes, engaged in extensive community discussions, was designed based on UMU zoning that has existed since 2009 (as part of the EN plan), and spent years to process approvals. It is fundamentally unfair and inequitable to change the rules after the project has already been approved by the PC and after the project sponsor has spent years and substantial amount of money to entitle the project per existing rules. In addition to an approx. 27,000 sf office addition, the project proposes 24 residential rental units on an existing surface parking lot, including 6 on-site BMR units (which is double the required amount) at AMI levels as low as 50% and up to 80%. The project also results in over $3.5M in impact fee payments that will fund infrastructure, schools, childcare, and other programs. Given the extraordinary circumstances that have prevented the project from moving forward with the city<U+2019>s appeal processes, we respectfully ask that that the Planning Commission recommend inclusion of a grandfathering clause in the UMU ordinance so that the project can proceed and be heard on the BOS and BOA appeals instead of being superseded by the pending legislation.
