Committee forwards settlement for 901 Bush Street denial that includes affordable units and right of return
Summary
A settlement arising from the board's prior denial of a subdivision map at 901 Bush Street would create a special use district to bring the map into compliance with the general plan and planning code and provide affordable housing units and right of return for former residents; the committee forwarded the settlement to the full board with recommendation without objection.
The Government Audit and Oversight Committee reviewed a settlement addressing the board's earlier denial of a subdivision map for 901 Bush Street and agreed to forward the settlement to the full Board with a recommendation.
Chair Supervisor Aaron Peskin said the settlement stems from a set of hearings and the Board's January 2006 affirmation of the Department of Public Works' denial of the subdivision map, which staff said was primarily because the map was inconsistent with the city's general plan and the planning code, notably for lacking an affordable housing component. Deputy City Attorney Tom Lakritz summarized the settlement as providing for a special use district to bring the subdivision map into compliance with the general plan and planning code, and noted related legislation will be heard at the Land Use Committee in the weeks ahead.
Peskin said there were no public comments on the item. With Supervisor Maxwell moving to send the item as a committee report to the full Board "with recommendation without objection," the committee forwarded it for further action. The transcript records no roll-call vote on the settlement; the committee proceeded by unanimous consent.
The settlement's key elements as described in committee include provision of a number of affordable housing units and a right of return for former residents of the building at 901 Bush Street. The Land Use Committee will consider the special use district legislation intended to bring the project into regulatory compliance.
