How it got here
This legislation originated from a series of amendments to a Conditional Property Exchange Agreement aimed at developing a new fire station and mixed-use tower in San Francisco.
The City and EQX Jackson SQ Holdco LLC entered into a Conditional Property Exchange Agreement (CPEA) allowing the developer to acquire property for a new fire station in exchange for constructing it on developer-owned land.
The first amendment to the CPEA was executed to modify terms due to delays caused by COVID-19, allowing for further negotiations on project documents.
A second amendment was made to the CPEA to further refine the terms of the agreement as project plans evolved.
The Planning Commission approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Project, which included a new fire station and a mixed-use building.
The Planning Commission approved motions extending the term of the Initial Approvals by five years due to project feasibility concerns.
The Planning Department issued a Notice of Preparation for an Environmental Impact Report for the proposed project, inviting public comments.
The Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution endorsing key terms for the proposed amendment to the CPEA and the new Development Agreement.
