Mission Coalition for Economic Justice & Jobs (MCEJJ) One member of the group suggested establishing a housing overlay for ‘big-box’ uses such as ‘Best Buy’ and ‘Office Max’. There was some agreement that it may make sense to focus housing development along South Van Ness north of 16 th Avenue. There was general agreement that ‘destination restaurants’ should not be located in the NEMIZ because of the lack of proper transit and the influx of traffic and parking needs this would bring to neighborhood streets. Neighborhood-serving restaurants would be allowed. There was some agreement that commercial development should primarily occur on Mission Street. Neighborhood-serving commercial would be allowed. The group largely agreed that the area south of 20 th Street should become a residential area with the opportunity for residential mixed-use development to occur within. It was pointed out that several underutilized sites exist in the area that could be put to a higher use if the air rights would be used to add appropriate uses (such as offices) on top of existing uses. The PG&E property was named as a particular example of this kind of site/use combination. A group member in strong support for protection of PDR uses in the NEMIZ, suggested designating the area north of 17 th and east of Folsom Streets as ‘Core PDR’. Here PDR uses would enjoy a stricter protection from encroaching non-PDR uses and be supported in their needs for infrastructure such as street access. It was furthermore suggested to designate the area between 17 th and 20 Street for ‘PDR-light’ and ‘Mixed-Use’, depending on already existing use patterns. The two sub-groups had different ideas about how access to PDR uses in the NEMIZ would be maintained: Needs to be neighborhood-friendly; should be determined business-by-business or cluster-by-cluster but not in a simplified corridor approach, which creates barriers within the community. Appendix A.26 Should not be restricted in a way that makes it unattractive for PDR uses to locate in the NEMIZ. Opponents of too much residential development and uses that follow residential development maintained that the NEMIZ could not accommodate too many new units and destination-type uses because public transit was serving the neighborhood well enough. Proponents of continued residential mixed-use development agreed that transportation and parking was a key issue. It was suggested that the neighborhood should not get into ‘housing cars’ and rather rely on low parking ratio requirements to build up enough demand for public transit becoming a viable option. Implementation Tools Two ideas relating to implementation of ideas and goals came up during the discussion:
Mission Coalition for Economic Justice & Jobs (MCEJJ) The possibility for the City to specifically foster development that is neighborhood-friendly and contributes to the goal of providing continued employment for Mission residents independent of PDR. The suggestion to study and explore prior to a final rezoning what sort of uses actually are likely to provide employment in the future. Appendix A.27
