Medjool's rooftop restaurant and bar is now being actively reviewed by the city's planners to determine its impact on the neighborhood. The planners are being very thorough in trying to understand our community issues and we appreciate their efforts. (Sarah Jones at 415-515-9034 or Ben Fu at 415-558-6613). The project will likely come in front of the Planning Commission at a public hearing on a Thursday afternoon in late June or July.
Please show your support for the SFBC and Medjool's other residential neighbors by attending the hearing. We will provide more information here when we have it. If you live in a 300 foot radius of Medjool, watch your mail for notices from the Planning Department. They will be sending a postcard to let neighbors know that the environmental review is under way. This means they'll be looking at noise and other community impacts. Ten days before the public hearing date is scheduled, they will send another notice. Once the mailers have gone out we will post here, so check back regulary (or follow this blog to stay updated -- just click the Follow button on the right.)
