Title:
Hearing of persons interested in or objecting to the decision of the Planning Department dated April
20, 2007, Case No. 2007.0097E, exempting from environmental review under Categorical Exemption
[State CEQA Guidelines, Sections 15301(b), 15303(d), & 15303(e); Class Numbers 1 and 3], the
proposed project is an ordinance proposed by the Mayor (Board File No. 070077) that would approve
one or more agreements (hereafter "the Agreement") between EarthLink, Inc. and the City and County
of San Francisco. The Agreement would permit EarthLink to manage, operate, and install within the
City rights-of-way a citywide wireless broadband internet access network that would provide free or
affordable internet access for San Francisco residents, workers, and visitors. The project would
involve installation within the City rights-of-way of a communications system consisting of two types of
above-ground equipment: transmitters and backhaul devices. The Agreement does not specify
proposed locations for the communications equipment, and EarthLink has not yet selected such
locations. (Appellant: Jeff Hoffman, on behalf of the San Francisco Neighborhood Antenna Free
Union (SNAFU).)
