Mark your calendars for the first public meeting about the proposed development at the old Alexandria Theater property at Geary and 18th Avenue. The meeting is being organized by Supervisor Eric Mar and his staff, who report:
We have been told by the Planning Department that they are almost ready to issue the Mitigated Negative Declaration on the site. This project would still need clearance from the Department of Building Inspection and approval of the Planning Commission and possibly the Board of Supervisors if the Mitigated Negative Declaration is appealed.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration from the Planning Department signals that there are only small changes necessary to overcome any environmental impacts of the proposed development. Usually this signifies that the project is OK under California Environmental Qualities Act (CEQA) provided minor changes are made to the project to mitigate relatively small environmental issues. (Special thanks to Jean B. for this explanation)
To hear more about the Alexandria development and the Planning Department’s report, please attend the meeting on April 14 at 6pm at the YMCA, 360 18th Avenue near Geary.

I noticed that they closed the bridal store that was on the street level of the Alexandria last week. Wonder if the Hello Kitty store is next?
Thanks, Jill. Hadn’t been by to notice that closure. Yes, I imagine the other will close soon in anticipation of the development.

My daughter will be very sad if KAWAII, the hello kitty store, is closed. I saw the wedding store family moving their materials out of the store earlier this month. They still run a store in San Mateo. Even if folks can’t join us on 4/14 at 6pm at the YMCA, please let my staff know if you have any suggestions – 415-554-7410.
