Committee Reports:
Zoning: Bud Wilson reporting. Legislation was introduced today at Board of Supervisors to make Forest Hill Station a land mark. If you like idea, write letters. Re: Housing Element of General Plan. Something WTPCC should get involved in. There will be a number of meetings in which public input will be taken before the Board of Supervisors approves the Plan. 30-day prior notice of meetings will be required. The Housing Element is one of three in the City Action Plan (CAP). Transportation corridors are targeted for high-density residential development. The purpose of CAP is to meet the affordable housing needs of an increasing San Francisco population. Three land use areas have been designated: Balboa Park, Central Waterfront, and Market & Octavia. The latter will be developed first as high-density, car-free area. Bill said he would plan to have next month's speaker on this issue
Ocean Avenue Revitalization: Paul Conroy reporting. There is a proposal connected to Balboa Park project to put housing in the Phelan Loop rather than a public plaza. Another concern is density of housing between 280 and Phelan. There is a plan to convert the auto parts store into a 4 story mixed use building with some 2-bedroom with only 1 car space per unit. Moved for resolution that a letter be directed to Better Neighborhood Group, cc to Mayor and Director of City Plg restating desire for a plaza at Phelan Loop stating that though WTPCC is not opposed to new housing, it is concerned about the proposed density. Anita Theoharis asked for an amendment to motion that zoning requirement of 1 parking place per unit not be changed. Motion and amendment seconded and carried. Paul asked WTPCC to send letter asking that a pylon, left over from another era and now an eyesore, be removed at Victoria and Ocean while sidewalks are being torn up. Motion seconded and carried.

Lowell High School Committee: None
