SPUR Supports Efforts to Streamline Permitting for Community Businesses

Advocacy Letter

SPUR supports Supervisor Peskin's legislation, with Planning staff's recommended modifications, to streamline the approvals and permitting processes and reduce fees for small and mid-sized businesses. This was a smart and important effort before the pandemic – and it is all the more critical today that the city provide supports to businesses seeking to start up and remain viable in our retail corridors across the city.
