How it got here
The legislation originated from the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department's initiative to acquire a property at 240 6th Street to expand recreational space in a high-need area.
The Planning Department determined that the acquisition of the property is not considered a project under CEQA, allowing the acquisition to proceed without further environmental review.
The Recreation and Park Commission unanimously approved Resolution No. 2406-003, recommending the allocation of Open Space Acquisition Funds for the property acquisition.
The Planning Department found that the proposed acquisition is consistent with the General Plan and the Eight Priority Policies of Planning Code Section 101.1.
The Recreation and Park Department submitted a resolution to the Board of Supervisors for approval to use $7,150,000 in Open Space Acquisition Funds for the property acquisition and necessary environmental remediation.
The Budget and Finance Committee reviewed and recommended the resolution as amended for the acquisition of the property.
The Board of Supervisors adopted the resolution approving the use of $7,150,000 in Open Space Acquisition Funds for the acquisition and remediation of the property.
