if i could not walk, and i am not sure i would have signed up. i think it is based in boston. i was on the phone with them five times in my first three- hour rental. it occurs to me that if we do move forward with this we might encourage public companies to come into the area. with congestion pricing on the horizon, this might become more important as well. chairperson maxwell: i think you are right. our district should really have been more available. supervisor chiu: you only have a couple. chairperson maxwell: patron hill, thank goodness. it lends itself to the kind of developments we are seeing, denser development. as we all reach out to try to do that, we will probably find ourselves, hopefully, having more zip cars in our district. we have close public comment. supervisor mar: could you add my

name as a co-sponsor to this? i think it is great. chairperson maxwell: me too. without objection, we will move this forward. >> i need to read item six. ordnance amending the administrative code appeals process under the california environmental quality act to clarify procedures to provide public notice. chairperson maxwell: this will be continued, but if you wish you may speak on this today and i also speak on in november 5. public comment on item 6? public comment on item 6? >> david glover again. to eliminate abuses of ceqa by

demonstrators -- by developers or neighbors, we need a process that is transparent. it helps major environmental analysis and planning evaluate if on a project there is a balance between environmental protection and development. this legislation before us gives permission to the environmental review office to inform the public at various junctures on a discretionary basis. i think we need more education, outreach, clarity, and transparency built into the process. for example, a developer could apply for a room addition. we do not want a neighbor to use a ceqa appeal in a petty fashion. we do not want a developer to get approval on a small component and use that approval to sell through much larger components that will have greater impact later arm. it does not seem to be any provision to make sure that

mitigations are understandable and enforceable. there seem to be short cuts. effective legislation would set up a clear system that indicates what kind of projects and what kinds of project sites have a general basis for ceqa appeals and environmental impact reports. there could be education workshops required for developers and the project -- and the public. it would require in that information the specifics on plans. instead, this legislation titans various windows to 14 days and 20 days, which does nothing to make this more understandable and does a lot to stop ceqa from working. it is about protecting the environment, not just developers versus communities. all should be considered. please reject this legislation.

chairperson maxwell: these think if we have more process, maybe, and a process that said the developer is required to have community input and meetings, so that it is really something that is documented, and that they have to make sure that their project is out into the community, that if we did that that maybe we had more up-front, that maybe that would help with your? >> i believe so. there could be more of a community culture around how ceqa is used. it is a necessary tool. a thing developers would benefit from the necessary -- i think the developers would benefit from the unnecessary process. smaller developers do not have a

clue. i know developers who work with ceqa on a professional basis, in the presidio, who do not understand. ceqa is complicated. the showcase process in district 10 is a great example of community getting together. something similar could be applied to ceqa. chairperson maxwell: we have a model, then. thank you. do we have further comment? seeing none, public, is closed and will be reopened november 5 when we hear the item. is there further business before the committee? >> there are no further items. chairperson maxwell: colleagues, this meeting is adjourned.
