PLANNING COMMISSION – CITY HALL SAN FRANCISCO 2.15.2024
Lee Heidhues 2.17.2024
- MYOPIA – lack of imagination, foresight or intellectual insight.
After only a cursory hearing and without any detailed probing of the applicants or neighborhood opponents arguments the San Francisco Planning Commission waved through a building project doubling the height of a single family home. A decision only favorable to the self-centered property owners. It can only be described for what it is. LAND USE GLUTTONY.
The day after the Planning Commission approved this project I called the Planner, David Winslow. I told him the action the Commission took was “disgraceful in general and you in particular were disgraceful.“
David responded, “I’m glad you got it off your chest.”
MY PRESENTATION TO THE SAN FRANCISCO PLANNING DEPARTMENT IN OPPOSITION TO THE MONSTER BUILDING PROJECT AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE HOUSE WE HAVE OWNED AND LIVED IN SINCE 1984.
“With all due respect to Jeremy Paul and the property owners at 4820 Anza Street this project is all about LAND USE GLUTTONY and playing the Zoning Code to the maximum extent possible. This project (doubling the size of the existing building) should be rejected out of hand.
My name is Lee Heidhues,. My wife and I have lived around the corner 40 years where we raised our family.
I would simply ask you, Planning Commissioners, if you lived next door to this project “How would you feel?”
I have done a Public Records Request. The Commission asked this Project be scaled back in late 2021. Three months later the property owners said NO. A position they still maintain today.
A brief walk down Anza Street between 39th and 40th Avenues makes obvious these are all single family homes. A garage and one floor above. This project is totally out of scope with the neighboring single family homes. The owners at 4820 Anza Street know it. Their hired gun Jeremy Paul knows it.
This project should be rejected and sent back to the property owners.”
