Rules Committee forwards three South of Market CAC nominees to full board
Summary
The Rules Committee recommended John Oberling, Heather Phillips and Jane Weil for appointment to the South of Market Community Planning Advisory Committee after brief presentations outlining local experience and CAC responsibilities under the Central SoMa plan.
The Rules Committee on April 27 forwarded to the full Board of Supervisors positive recommendations for three nominees to the South of Market (SoMa) Community Planning Advisory Committee (CAC).
Jessica Look, a senior planner with the Planning Department, told the committee the SoMa CAC was created under the Central SoMa Plan and will advise on implementation of the plan, East and Western SoMa area plans, prioritization of projects funded by impact fees and input on individual development proposals.
Supervisor Haney’s office presented three nominees: John Elderling for seat 4, Heather Phillips for seat 5 and Jane Weil for seat 6. Heather Phillips described 14 years living and working in SoMa and her work with local community groups and the Eastern Neighborhoods CAC; Jane Weil described representing homeowners, seniors and local Filipino community interests and urged using impact fees to stabilize the neighborhood.
Chair Ronan moved to forward the nominees with a positive recommendation. The committee recorded roll‑call votes of "Aye" from Supervisors Catherine Stephanie, Gordon Mar and Hillary Ronan; the motion passed and the recommendations will be placed on the Board agenda for final action.
The CAC, as described by Planning Department staff, will consist of 11 members (seven appointed by the board, four by the mayor), plus alternates, and will advise on plan implementation and prioritization of investments.
