GPA Spring Meeting Summarized

April 12, 2024 by Heather World

2024 Glen Park Association Grant Recipients

Congratulations to our four 2024 grant recipients:

  • $1,200 went to fund a water meter to give life to the Arlington Path Pollinator Garden
  • $1,000 went to the Glen Park School to fund its Kinder Yard, a special recreation space for the school’s youngest students.  
  • $1,500 went to Sunnyside Elementary School to pay the printing costs of its student-written literary magazine, The Ray. 
  • $1,500 went to Dolores Huerta Elementary School’s Dream Library renovation

Thank you to our applicants for making the neighborhood a better place, to our grant committee members for volunteering the time to administer the program (want to volunteer? Email us at info@glenparkassociation.org), and to the many neighbors whose donations over and above the $10 annual membership fee support these grants!

What’s on at the Rec Center?

The answer is, a lot! Recreation Coordinator Conor Casey listed a few of the many great free and nominal cost offerings at the rec center, including pick-up pickle ball, Pilates, yoga, ping pong, a climbing wall and more. 

The Glen Park Association blog posts an updated schedule on our website. Click here for Rec Center event details.

What’s on at the Library?

The answer is, a lot! Branch Manager Darren Heiber walked us through local library offerings, an upcoming poetry performance by Oakland Youth Poet Laureate Nairobi Barnes on Tuesday, April 16, at 4:30 p.m.

San Francisco Planning Department

Thanks to Reanna Tong and Malena Leon-Farrera, senior planners from the SF Planning Department’s Land Use and Community Planning Team, who came to the GPA Spring 2024 Meeting to discuss zoning changes proposed to meet state housing requirements.

See the proposed zoning map here, and zoom in to see Glen Park specifically. Most of the neighborhood would be rezoned to allow four units within a 40-foot height, which means density would change but height would not. Portions of Bosworth, Diamond and Chenery would be zoned for 8 and 6 stories.

Here are the links they provided:

Project website. Includes zoning proposals, timeline, ways to get involved

Learn how building heights are measured here

Environmental Review documents (includes some information about shadows cast by buildings in Appendix K, but Glen Park and Glen Canyon are not among the sites selected for analysis.) Find more about how the city studied shadowing in this document, page 319

Learn how the city leverages community benefits from developers here

Sign up here to be notified if there is a remodel in your neighborhood. (Must renew annually)

Email cpc.sf.housing.choice@sfgov.org  to give feedback.
