Section 1. Environmental and Land Use Findings.
(a) The Planning Department has determined that the actions contemplated in
this ordinance comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public
Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq.). Said determination is on file with the Clerk of
the Board of Supervisors in File No. 180191 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Board affirms this determination.

adopted findings The Board of Supervisors finds that the actions contemplated in this
ordinance are consistent, on balance, with the City's General Plan and eight priority
policies of Planning Code Section 101.1. The Board adopts these findings as its own.
/\ copy of said Resolution is on file 1.vith the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in File No.
, and is incorporated herein by reference. Specifically, the Board finds that
the ordinance is consistent with the following:
Glen Park Area Plan
OBJECTIVE 6: SUSTAIN GLEN PARK'S ROLE AS AN IMPORTANT
INTERMODAL TRANSIT CENTER FOR THE CITY AND REGION
POLICY 6.2: Manage curb space around the Glen Park BART station to
improve the function of transit.
OBJECTIVE 7: IMPROVE ACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSIT IN GLEN
PARK
POLICY 7.1: Make transit more accessible.
The Board of Supervisors finds that permitting the space to continue as a
permitted parking lot for six years would continue to provide parking to
BART riders who rely on parking near the BART station, and offer a space
for BART riders to park their cars rather than relying on cars idling in the
curb space around the BART station.

OBJECTIVE 1: MEET THE NEEDS OF ALL RESIDENTS AND VISITORS
FOR SAFE, CONVENIENT AND INEXPENSIVE TRAVEL WITHIN SAN
FRANCISCO AND BETWEEN THE CITY AND OTHER PARTS OF THE
REGION WHILE MAINTAINING THE HIGH QUALITY LIVING
ENVIRONMENT OF THE BAY AREA.
POLICY 1.6: Ensure choices among modes of travel and accommodate
each mode when and where it is most appropriate.
OBJECTIVE 7: DEVELOP A PARKING STRATEGY THAT
ENCOURAGES SHORT-TERM PARKING AT THE PERIPHERY OF
DOWNTOWN AND LONG-TERM INTERCEPT PARKING AT THE
PERIPHERY OF THE URBANIZED BAY AREA TO MEET THE NEEDS
OF LONG-DISTANCE COMMUTERS TRAVELING BY AUTOMOBILE TO
SAN FRANCISCO OR NEARBY DESTINATIONS.
POLICY 7.3: Maintain a supply of parking commensurate with demand at
outlying intercept parking facilities that have good connections to transit
and ride-sharing opportunities.
OBJECTIVE 37: MEET SHORT-TERM PARKING NEEDS IN
NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING DISTRICTS CONSISTENT WITH
PRESERVATION OF A DESIRABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR
PEDESTRIANS AND RESIDENTS.
The Board of Supervisors finds that permitting the space to continue as a
permitted parking lot for six years would meet the needs of residents and
Supervisor Sheehy
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Page 3
visitors for safe, convenient, and inexpensive travel within San Francisco
and between the City and other parts of the region. The continued use as
a parking lot would offer choices in the mode of travel and offer the
opportunity for drivers to park and ride mass transit rather than driving
further into the City. When the parking lot is not used to serve BART
ridership, it offers parking to those who travel from outside the City or from
areas of the City that lack access to public transportation to the Glen Park
neighborhood retail area. When used this way, the parking lot would also
support the Glen Park retailers.
(c) The Board of Supervisors further finds that:
•
The parcel straddles two zoning districts (Glen Park NCT and RH-2);
•
This fact makes coherent development of the lot difficult;
•
The space has operated as a parking lot without improvements since the
1970's;
•
The use has remained consistent since the 1970's;
•
Given the proximity to the Glen Park Neighborhood Commercial corridor
and the BART station, the space presents an opportunity for development
into residential and commercial uses;
•
There are no current plans to develop the subject parcel; and
•
It is reasonable to allow the space to be used as a parking lot for a period
of six years.
!QLPursuant to Planning Code Section 302, the Board finds that this Planning
Code Amendment will serve the public necessity, convenience, and welfare for the
