City College of San Francisco Settles Lawsuit and Plans Expansion in Chinatown
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the City College of San Francisco has settled two lawsuits that had blocked the college’s expansion into Chinatown. The college is planning a $146-million high-rise in the neighborhood.
The Chronicle reports that City College was at risk of losing its state bond for the project. Alan Sparer, the college’s lawyer, told the paper that the settlement “didn’t compromise in any way the size or scope of the campus, the academic programs that were going to be offered or the timetable for construction.”
The residents and business owners who filed the suit had said that the project would tower over the other buildings in the neighborhood and affect the historical preservation of the area. The plaintiffs and their lawyers did not comment in the article.
