Board approves Mission Bay South amendment, sells SFPUC surplus land in Mountain View; multiple consent and first-reading actions advanced

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on July 9 recorded roll-call votes on several measures and advanced a number of ordinances on first reading or by consent.

At a roll call on item 9, the board enacted an ordinance amending the Mission Bay South redevelopment plan to add residential as a permitted use and to increase permitted residential density in portions of the plan area. The board voted 11-0 to finally pass the ordinance. Supervisor Scott Wiener had pulled the item for a clarification about whether the Transit Impact Development Fee (TIDF) would apply; Deputy City Attorney John Gipner told the board that passage of the item would not alter any existing obligation to pay TIDF and the City Attorney's Office would follow up on the outstanding legal question. Wiener said he was comfortable voting to pass the item after that clarification.

The board also adopted item 22, a resolution approving a restated option agreement to sell surplus lands under SFPUC jurisdiction near Wissman and Tirella Avenues in Mountain View (Santa Clara County) to MV Urban Village Homes, a joint venture, for $8,100,000, with an easement reserved to the SFPUC. The resolution passed on a roll call vote of 11-0.

Other calendar actions and procedural outcomes

- Items 2 through 23 (consent calendar) were considered routine; the board removed items 9 and 22 for separate roll call and the remaining consent items were approved by roll call (11 ayes) earlier in the meeting. - Items 24 and 25 (CEQA administrative code amendments) were continued one week to July 16 at Supervisor Wiener's request. - Budget-related items (27'31) and a proposed retiree health care charter amendment (item 44) were continued to July 16 per board procedure and sponsor motions. - Several ordinances were passed on first reading by the "same house, same call" procedure, including appropriations for SFUSD and personnel adjustments (items 26, 32'36, 39'43), and film rebate program changes; these first-reading actions require additional steps before final adoption. - Items 53'56 were considered for immediate adoption; the resolutions were adopted by roll call (11 ayes). Item 54 specifically recognized the Marina Yacht Harbor's grand reopening.

Why it matters

- Mission Bay land-use changes (item 9) alter permitted uses and density in a major redevelopment area and could affect future housing supply and local infrastructure demands. The question about transit-impact fees raised fiscal and transportation-revenue considerations. - The SFPUC land sale (item 22) moves a surplus-property transaction forward with a stated sale price of $8.1 million; the resolution also reserves an easement to the SFPUC, which may affect utility operations and future site uses.
