It was explained to you twice, in the second reply to your initial e-mail, and again in Councillor Davis’ first reply to the thread.  Just because you ignored the explanation doesn’t mean it wasn’t there, Ms. Salinas.  While Messrs. Bawcum and Dixon’s worries that near-invariable grants of variances may undermine the standards in the first place strike me as legitimate issues to address, choosing to ignore the words of others simply because they’ve committed the egregious sin of disagreeing with you does no one any favors.

Dear neighbors:

Astute observers will note that while city officials state my interpretation is incorrect four times in three different e-mails, none say why my interpretation is incorrect.

Any guesses as to why city officials eagerly point to my error, but repeatedly fail to say why I am in error?

Neighbors, I wanted to respond to the concerns shared on the Listserve this morning about the sign approval for The Carlisle. 

It was mistakenly shared that this change would apply to other properties in the neighborhood. I asked our planning staff and attorneys to review that allegation. You can see their analysis below.

As always, if you have other questions about land-use you can always ask the staff in my office to provide some guidance. That’s what we are here for.

Councilor Davis,

 

I asked Shanna to take a look at Veronica’s interpretation of the recent Administrative Amendments; she is incorrect in saying that the amendments apply to the entire Sector Plan.

 

Shanna’s response is below.

 

Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,

 

Veronica’s interpretation of Administrative Amendments (AA) is not correct – the allowed deviationsdo not apply to the entire sector plan. The Notice of Decision for the two recent AAs in the Nob Hill area (Copper/Aliso and Carlisle/Central) specifically state that the allowed deviations areproperty specific (see below). The same deviations allowed via these AAs would not be allowed on any other properties outside of the properties that made each request. This means, in the most recent example,only The Carlisle development will be able to utilize the additional sign height. I also reviewed the LUHO’s Notice of Decision for both cases and did not see him elude to the idea that the AAs would be applicable throughout the sector plan.

 

I’ve chatted with Council’s legal staff, who typically reviews and handles land use appeals, and he concurred with this position.
