San Francisco Planning Commission acknowledges the DRAFT Japantown Better Neighborhood Plan

 

After several years of analysis and community process, the Draft Plan was presented to the Planning Commission for acknowledgement on June 25, 2009. Prior to acknowledgement, Planning staff presented at two informational hearings at the Planning Commission, and two informational hearings at the Historic Preservation Commission.


The draft plan will continue to be revised and reworked with the community based on the acknowledgement resolution adopted by the Planning Commission. If you have not already read the draft plan, read it below. If you have ideas to offer, stay involved in the process.
