Forest City would like to invite you to participate in a focus group discussion around enhancing the Dogpatch neighborhood. Specifically, we seek insight in helping  shape the vision for making the next evolution of Pier 70 one that feels authentic and alive, where local community and the economy come together at the water’s edge of the Dogpatch.

The focus group that we hope you will join us for will guide our planning process, help us identify activities to activate the waterfront in the near term and inform the framework principles for the long-term vision and, ultimately, the design of the place. It will take place on Friday, September 14th from 9 to 11:30am at UCSF Fox Room (654 Minnesota Street, 3rd Floor). As a thank you we will also provide dinner and either $50 in cash or a $50 donation in your name to one of two organizations working to improve the quality of life in the neighborhood – either the Friends of Potrero Nursery School or Potrero Hill History Archive Project.

Please respond to alexandrajanos@forestcity.net (415-593-4221) to confirm your attendance or if you have any questions about the workshops. We thank you for your consideration and look forward to seeing you on September 20th.

Supervisor Carmen Chu introduced legislation allowing for permit fee waivers for small businesses (100 employees or less) during the month of May, when the City traditionally celebrates small businesses. The legislation would provide a permit fee waiver for 1) awning replacements and 2) pedestrian-level lighting. There is language in the ordinance allowing for the retroactive application of this fee waiver so that the permit fees will be waived from May 1 through 31, 2012. The rationale behind this legislation was to provide small businesses with incentives to improve their storefront appearance, and to improve public safety along our commercial corridors. While working on a storefront improvement project involving awning replacements on Taraval Street, we learned that the City requires permit fees even if a property owner is just replacing an awning. These permit fees can add up. There are separate fees for different types of replacement work, such as if you are 1) replacing the canvas/plastic covering; 2) replacing awning sign with wording on it; 3) replacing the awning structure. This is a pilot program, and we hope that small businesses throughout the entire city will take advantage of the opportunity to improve their storefronts. For questions, contact: Katy Tang at 415-554-7462 or visit www.sfbos.org/chu
