Senator Migden - Seawall Lot Legislation

Click here for the proposed amended text of SB 815 - the bill authored by Senator Carole Migden on behalf of the Port of San Francisco to exempt certain seawall lots (parking lots on the West side of the Embarcadero). The bill will be heard in committee of the State Senate the week of July 2, 2007. The THD, in conjunction with San Francisco Tomorrow, BCNA and FOGG worked for weeks to negotiate the terms of this bill to allow the Port to achieve its goal of developing these lots to generate revenue and still protect our historic neighborhood elements.

Click here for THD's position letter on this legislation. All of THD's proposed amendments, as stated in our letter, were recognized and added.

As a result, the THD is proud to support this very important piece of legislation that will give the Port much needed revenue while maintaining height limits on 4 of the parking lots in our area. Click here for THD's support letter of the amended SB 815 bill.
