The Balboa Reservoir Project is a very large proposed development that will impact life for residents in Sunnyside (more here). Housing and park space are planned for the now undeveloped land to the west of City College. The Community Advisory Committee (BRCAC) is an unprecedented new aspect of development in San Francisco–and a vital part of deciding what that project will look like going forward. You can be a part of that process–BRCAC meetings are open to all community members.

The next meeting of the Community Advisory Committee is Monday, December 12th 2016. More about the meeting here. It will be held at City College of San Francisco, Multi-Use Building, Room 140, 55 Phelan Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94112. 6:15pm. To contact Committee Chair Lisa Spinali, email BalResCACChair@gmail.com.

The process for selecting a developer for the site has begun. Here’s the timeline:

Kurt Heilman has lived in San Francisco for more than 20 years.

He doesn’t reside in an iconic Victorian style house, one of the fresh new condominiums in Mission Bay or even in one of the single-room occupancy units that pepper the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods.
