OVER-DEVELOPMENT ON TWIN PEAKS?

Taking Away the Last Remaining Green Spaces In Our Neighborhood

A dangerous and unwanted precedent has been set by the city's approval and subsequent issuance on May 15, 2013 of a building permit allowing construction on one of the few remaining open green spaces in the San Francisco neighborhood of Vista Francisco, adjoining the tourist hot spot of Twin Peaks.
The project sponsor of this proposed over-development is Santos and Urrutia, Structural Engineers. Mr. Rodrigo Santos is the former president of the city's Building Inspection Commission.

This building permit will allow a 5-story over garage, 4-unit building to be built at the Twin Peaks bus stop, up against and sharing the public staircase that neighbors and tourists use to get to and from one of the highest points in San Francisco known as Twin Peaks.

Approval bythe Planning Commission came over fierce objection by the neighbors, community activists, and even the Planning Department, who urged that the Commission deny the application to subdivide and build on the 70 Crestline lot.
