The Community CEQA Team, represented by Tes Welborn for HANC, has won some victories in the nine-month battle attempting to gut CEQA.  Supervisor Weiner wanted to eliminate the public's current right to appeal projects at any point in a project, and succeeded in limiting appeals to the first time a project is approved.  Because of Supervisor Kim's work with the Community Team, and then Supervisor Chiu's work, we did gain the right to appeal a major change to the Environmental Review Officer in a public, televised hearing.  We also secured increased noticing, both on the Planning Dept.'s website and by informing those who request notices of neighborhood projects.  Thanks to all whose letters helped the Community team's work!
