  • The Lumberyard permit expires 2/11/2021

  • Current owners – the Pietro Family Foundation of SF – have the TL parcels 4-sale; the listing is not on JParrish’s website – word is the price is $4.5M

  • 4-sale or not: we’re not sure the Pietro’s pursuing developing the project. An architect was working on a revised project for; to keep the approved building as designed by Thatcher and Thompson but to revise the interior to reduce the amount of commercial space and add more residential units.

  • The site is currently storing materials for Pietro’s Moana Way 8 home project. There have been numerous concerns about the TL yard & building area never being cleaned up. Save Pleasure Point fax’d and called Pietro: “please do a clean-up” and several neighbors also called with same request > we have all been ignored

  • NorthPoint Investment Co. LLC originally owned The Lumberyard parcel and developed plans for the project (mixed-use: retail with 8 condos) per financial woes including investor lawsuits, missed payments they were foreclosed on by the Pietro’s.

  • The flashing lights at the 32nd and 36th Portola crosswalks are getting a lot of use – YAY!! Getting them Ok’d was an a priority “safety demand” of ours; PW felt other streets are more dangerous, however SPPt (all of us) pushed and won; John L strongly supported this pedestrian safety enhancement

  • Commercial space “for rent” signs going up (very sad to see)

  • Banks are becoming very choosy loaning on mixed-use and/or retail only projects
