Millbrae City Council believed it was safe to have a biotech company near the airport and passed a resolution to consider overriding the San Mateo County Airport Land Use Commission of the San Mateo County Airport Land Use Commission, who sided with SFO to raise safety concerns.

San Francisco International Airport officials sent a letter to Millbrae officials back in January expressing concerns about a proposal to allow biotech companies to occupy commercial developments in the area-specific plan for the Millbrae station.

Airport officials alleged that their presence on the flight path of a popular airport could increase the risk for local residents in the event of a plane crash, as biotech companies routinely work with hazardous materials.

“The city should carefully examine the health, safety and well-being of its citizens in the event of an airplane accident,” said the letter signed by Nupur Sinha, acting airport planning director.

In January of this year, the council passed a resolution to overturn C / CAG’s decision that the Millbrae Station Area Specific Plan or the MSASP changes for Biosafety Level 2 Uses in the SFO Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan or ALUCP Safety Zone 2 were inconsistent the transit-oriented development or TOD zone. It also adopted a resolution amending the MSASP to allow these uses.

Biosafety Level 2 includes clinical, diagnostic, educational, and other laboratories that work with medium-risk indigenous pathogens that are already present in the community, such as influenza, HIV, Lyme disease, and salmonella.

“The diseases at this level are diseases that already exist in the environment. This does not mean that no precautions can be taken. And all of this can be worked into the actual plans of the buildings themselves. So it is quite possible to keep things under control, ”said Mayor Ann Schneider.

She is optimistic about the future and eager to see how it will help the city thrive.

“When you’re a company like Biotech, a lot of your employees need to be on site. And that means these employees eat in local restaurants and hopefully shop locally. Diversifying our business premises is good for Millbrae, ”she said.

The city will initiate a 45-day review period by first submitting the letter of intent to the ALUCP and Caltrans Aeronautics departments to review the override. ALUCP and Caltrans have 30 days to respond and then the Council will take final action at a public hearing to override the final results in September.

MILLBRAE (KPIX) – Millbrae, a peninsula town that failed to meet its residential goals in the past, is now being sued for it.

“Bringing a housing project together has become incredibly difficult in the last 10-15 years. And I don’t expect it to be any easier, ”says Andy Davidson, Managing Partner of Anton Development.

Davidson and Anton’s team are trying to redesign the historic El Rancho Inn near the San Francisco Airport.

The bureaucratic back and forth between Anton and the city lasted four years and neither side has anything to show. Now Anton is suing the city of Millbrae.

“We’re really looking for a referee; Someone to call the piece what it is and we’ll be on our way, ”Davidson said.

It all started in 2017. Anton intended to build 220 units at market prices and 50 units of affordable living space as well as a hotel on site. But then the hotel partnership failed.

Anton says that is because the city has progressed too slowly with the approval process.

“So if it takes too long to apply, you will lose all engagement with the hotel brand you are working with,” explains Davidson.

In the midst of it all, the state passed SB 330, also known as the Housing Accountability Act. The law was designed to streamline the trend in which cities are stepping back against affordable housing.

Since the project includes an affordable housing component, Anton invoked the new law and said it would allow them to bypass the rezoning process and save a lot of money.

“The developer wants to try to pull a quick one,” said Sam Singer, a spokesman for the city of Millbrae.

Singer means that the developer is using the new law as a loophole to avoid paying the $ 18 million development fee.

The presence of the singer is intended to signal how serious the argument has become. He is nicknamed “Master of Disaster”; a public relations professional who says this case doesn’t stand up in court.

“You can’t expect taxpayers to subsidize a very wealthy and successful developer,” Singer said.

Singer says when the hotel contract failed and Anton came up with new plans, it became a different project with higher fees.

“I hate it when tax dollars are wasted on such a lawsuit,” said Davidson.

“It pisses me off,” said Jodie, a woman who lives in Millbrae.

She stopped by the hotel while KPIX was interviewing Davidson to complain about developments.

“Rich people argue about[expletive[thatwewishwecouldgettheirhandsonthem”saidJodie[expletive[thatwecouldgetaholdof”Jodiesaid[Kraftausdruck[vondemwirunswünschenwirkönntenihnindieHändebekommen“sagteJodie[expletive[thatwewishwecouldgetaholdof”Jodiesaid

Jodie has been on an affordable housing waiting list for several years, she came over to yell at the developer because only 5% of the project is affordable, she says it doesn’t make a dent.

In their words? These “rich people need to stop fighting and build a place for them to live”.

“They say they have programs, but there are thousands on the waiting list. Home is hard to get when you are not on a wealthy site. Poverty is real, ”said Jodie.

The state weighed in and threw its support behind Anton. Singer says Millbrae supports the project, but Anton has to stick to the rules.
