Supes Postpone Decision on 3400 Cesar ChavezBen Malleybyline‚ Jul. 18‚ 2007After listening to over five hours of public comment on the Mission Anti-Displacement Coalition’s (MAC) appeal of the environmental impact document at 3400 Cesar Chavez, the Board of Supervisors voted to wait two weeks to make a decision. MAC had appealed the approval of a 60-unit condominium project due to its minimal levels of affordability. When the last speaker finished at 9:48 p.m., Board President Aaron Peskin said that he thought higher-level staff from the Planning Department should have been in attendance, and wanted more time to come to a decision. “What we need to determine,” he said, “is the thoroughness, completeness, or lack thereof from the Planning Department.” Supervisor Tom Ammiano seconded Peskin’s motion, and said he “hoped we can find some closure around the CEQA issue.” |
