This ordinance amends Public Works Code Section 2.1.1(j)(2) and Administrative Code Section 10G.1(c) to waive the Tier 3 Love Our Neighborhoods major encroachment permit fee and Board of Appeals surcharge—approximately $1,048—for the Detroit Street Steps Archway in the Sunnyside neighborhood. The Planning Department’s CEQA determination, originally filed April 29, 2025, is affirmed. The archway design was approved by the Arts Commission’s Civic Design Review Committee on August 22, 2022, and a prior declaration of intent to waive fees was adopted in Resolution 90-23 on February 28, 2023. This waiver facilitates community-led public improvements without financial barriers.
