On Earth Day 2021, a virtual stated Council meeting carried real weight: Carlos Menchaca backed the Acme Smoke Fish / Gem Street rezoning (C 200029 ZMK) , a parking lot becoming a 14-story, ~142-unit building with 33 permanently affordable homes, won only after CB7 forced the developer to redo the proposal repeatedly and a free easement to the MTA secured an ADA elevator. The same session welcomed new members, mourned former colleague Costa Constantinides's wife and retired firefighters, passed a climate-and-food-waste package, and saw split votes on the new sports office and CCRB-related bill
From the room
“a new 14 story mixed use building with approximately a 142 units of housing, of which 35 will be permanently affordable”
— Corey D. Johnson
“pesticides classified by the California office of environmental health hazard assessment as a developmental toxin,”
— Corey D. Johnson
“the council today is voting on a rules change that constitutes the next step in the process to recognize a union”
— Corey D. Johnson
“Both bills will be heard tomorrow, Friday, April 23, and the contracts committee would love to have you on board.”
— Ben Kallos
