What I discovered was so much more than I could imagine. This didn't feel like a big city at all. I felt connected...a strong sense of community...an understanding why so many left their hearts in San Francisco. The City has had its challenges. The dot-com boom changed the way we do business and transformed the landscape. Exacerbated by a worldwide pandemic, brick and mortar businesses continue to fold in vast numbers and the cost of living in the city has driven so many to leave broken-hearted. I looked at my young children and asked myself, what kind of city will be left for them? North Beach Neighbors has been the conduit for me and a wonderful diverse group of people to make the City a better place, starting with our charming neighborhood. I've had the stellar opportunity to serve and represent our community on the Northern Advisory Committee of the Port of San Francisco and the Central Station Community Police Advisory Board. As the chairperson of NBN's Planning and Zoning Committee I have had the great pleasure to contribute to how the neighborhood develops. I'm particularly proud of representing our community in the development of 88 Broadway to bring to North Beach 125 affordable family apartments and 53 affordable apartments for seniors; helping to protect some of San Francisco’s most vulnerable citizens from displacement. Outside of community work and managing my architectural practice, Kanter Architects, I enjoy playing with my kids, the great outdoors, and keeping fit with yoga and bike rides along the waterfront. As a thespian I've played many roles, but through my greatest role as a father I've come to understand that it takes a village and through building community we can improve the quality of life in San Francisco. Let's revitalize the backbone of our community, save our small businesses and take on our present-day challenges while thinking ahead for future generations of our beloved North Beach village. Please join us! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1552585953551-1PW0WXIEJ25CFNFWW0AA/North-Beach138+%281%29.jpg Board of Directors Gallery - Laura Mancuso Secretary Laura Mancuso is a Bay Area native who moved to North Beach to keep close to the Italian culture she fell in love with during a year abroad. Twenty five years later she's still here, raising up her kids on bocce ball and vanilla steamed milk from Caffe Trieste. Those kids and her charming (read: small) flat resulted in her keen interest in the neighborhood’s open spaces. What began as a few volunteer days at Families for North Beach Playgrounds events blossomed into an active role coordinating those events with another North Beach parent and working with Friends of Joe DiMaggio Playground before and during the park’s renovation. In addition to organizing community volunteer days at our neighborhood parks, Laura serves as co-coordinator of the community garden at Michelangelo Playground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1686498078918-X59T5S5J7GM65PLAAQ5K/trish.jpg Board of Directors Gallery - Trish Herman Chair, Safety, Small Business and Nominating Committee Chairs Over thirty years of business and strategic partnership experience.

After graduation, I traveled the world for a year. On my return to the States, I spent several months crossing the country in my van determined to find the perfect place to lay down roots. When I found San Francisco, I found perfection. When I found North Beach, I found Shangri-La, but there was one small catch; I had to live on the streets until I was able to find someone foolish enough to rent to a guy with no job and living out of his van near the corner of Grant and Lombard. After a lot of hard work, I was able to buy and renovate my run down earthquake damaged home in beautiful perfect North Beach near the same intersection of my former van home. Then a few years later, I married and started a family at the same location. Our children are true North Beach kids, and they are proud “Dons” of the University of San Francisco. My wife is a native of SF and loves her job working at the the much beloved Biordi Imports on Columbus Ave. I’ve been a member of North Beach Neighbors almost from the time I arrived in the neighborhood and have been continuously serving on its board since 2002. I have served as the NBN President between 2007 to 2009, Ex-Officio between 2009 to 2010 and Vice President in 2021. Currently, I am the organization’s Historian, Parliamentarian, Chair of the Rules and Bylaws committee, and an acting member of the nominating committee. In years past, I have been the chair of Parks, Membership, Events, Planning and Zoning, and Nominating committees. I am the author of several NBN bylaw provisions, P&Z mission statement and rules, and the email voting protocols. Additionally, I created the “standing” Rules and Bylaws committee, Planning and Zoning committee, and the Parks committee. Gavin Newsom appointed me to the City’s Budget Advisory Committee in 2007. I also served on the San Francisco Neighborhood Parks Council (now the SF Parks Alliance) from 2004 to 2007. I created the D3 Parks Team and served as its chair from 2004 to 2008. Politically, I have managed numerous candidates for supervisor and organized several supervisory and mayoral debates. I have been continuously involved in politics and non-profit boards since I was in college serving briefly as college vice-president and working for my district congressman. My passion is adventure travel and fine arts. I have biked and hiked across Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. I love to design, sculpt, paint, play guitar, sing, and write. Over the last couple decades, it has been an honor to help keep North Beach perfect and to help build North Beach Neighbors into one of San Francisco’s greatest neighborhood groups. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/5aea20c20e2e72be49d0b039/5ea90833faf1d67363aaf1a7/1738625250336/ Board of Directors Gallery - Danny Sauter Past President & Planning & Zoning Chair Danny is thrilled to have the opportunity to improve the neighborhood he is lucky to call home.

After the birth of my son I shifted my life to live, work and school and socialize locally in this lovely neighborhood. I opened up a much-needed pregnancy and parenting community education center and boutique by the name of Carmel Blue. My mission was to create a local community of new parents and to help them thrive and encourage them to stay in our neighborhood, otherwise not known for being family friendly. The lack of a generation of young children was apparent. While volunteering as a birthing coach and prenatal Yoga specialist at the SF General hospital Labor & Delivery dept, I learned that an essential ingredient of positive parenting experiences is an educated supportive community. In the 10 years since CB’s doors opened, I had served over 6000 new parents and I am proud to say I got to meet almost every baby born into our district. Prior to diving into community work, I worked as a member of the Design and Product development teams at Levi Strauss & Co and at The Pottery Barn, as well as running my own business in Costume and Jewelry. The 15 years spent working with product design and development, had earned me vast knowledge and appreciation of design, efficiency and hardwork. Today, in recognition of how challenging owning a small business can be, I am focusing my efforts and skills working as a consultant for the city of SF, directly supporting small businesses in SF to improve their Merchandising and Marketing, to draw in more customers and help them sustain and succeed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1752714959042-R5EZLU5P732FIIKJT3VH/roger.jpeg Board of Directors Gallery - Roger Weinman When I think of SF, I think North Beach. Of course, we all have our favorite neighborhoods, but NB felt like home right from the start. The people and places here have given me so may wonderful memories. The beauty, the art, the music, the festivals and the local characters all within walking distance. Unbeknownst to me, there was a non-profit contributing to this great quality of life and it was NBN. Once I met this group of volunteers who started the farmer’s market, planted the trees and flowerbeds, cleaned the sidewalks, and hosted music festivals and happy hours, I had to become a member. When asked to join the board, I jumped at the chance to give back. I appreciate the strong presence of multiple immigrant communities throughout our city, being the child of immigrants myself. And my previous nonprofit experience reflects my passion for enhancing public art and safety to keep North Beach a go-to destination for an authentic SF experience with locals, tourists, artists and merchants alike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1752715157930-QIJAJ29HMF2C54W7EKAW/Grazia.jpeg Board of Directors Gallery - Grazia Bennett I moved to San Francisco, North Beach neighborhood in 1993 after having lived in Milan, Washington D.C., New York, London and Rome. It was love at first sight. I liked the proximity to the Bay, the feeling of community, the eccentricity of some of his residents and, of course, the Italian soul. I knew that I had arrived home. After a thriving career in banking/investing banking followed by a few years as Development Director for the Institute of International Education while I was raising my son, I now work as a realtor for Sotheby's International Realty focusing on the San Francisco residential real estate market. Although far from having a perfect life I always try to keep my killer smile. A warning: it is contagious. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1752715302044-YSZCO24BN15Q1RGI15Q7/Debi.png Board of Directors Gallery - Debi Marchi North Beach has been my home, though I was born and raised in Vallejo. My grandfather immigrated from Italy and later sent for my grandmother once he was settled. They made their home in Valparaiso Alley, living next to the DiMaggios—my grandmother used to feed Joe snacks. My mother was born in the heart of North Beach, just around the corner from where I now live, before hospitals existed. I guess that means I’m proud to be a third-generation Italian. I studied business administration and marketing at San Francisco State University while working full-time in the marketing department at Chevron Corporation. Over the years, I’ve held various positions, and I’m currently an Online Education Specialist at the American Academy of Ophthalmology. My dog, Coco, may be small—only about 10 pounds—but that doesn’t stop him from barking at every dog in the neighborhood. If you hear a dog barking, you probably will see me! https://www.northbeachneighbors.org/new-gallery daily 0.75 2018-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1527536154344-ER77X5FBLIQQA6UDAQ6N/DSC_4339_edit1+%281%29.jpg Farmers Market Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1527536154344-ER77X5FBLIQQA6UDAQ6N/DSC_4339_edit1+%281%29.jpg Farmers Market Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1527536301719-5BWEH41ODV5YR4OECLFB/DSC_4350.JPG Farmers Market Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1527536174186-MKRC51VA712UZI8N1UIG/DSC_4320_edit.jpg Farmers Market Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1527536323551-3GI8DXVS653GEJO0DZAM/DSC_4351_edit.jpg Farmers Market Gallery https://www.northbeachneighbors.org/committees-1 daily 0.75 2019-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1557359731756-WQ3R0ASYLEJGNRR5GU9N/Screen+Shot+2019-05-08+at+4.54.52+PM.png Committees - Complete Streets We advocate for pleasant and safely navigable streets for all ages and abilities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1557359731756-WQ3R0ASYLEJGNRR5GU9N/Screen+Shot+2019-05-08+at+4.54.52+PM.png Committees - Complete Streets We advocate for pleasant and safely navigable streets for all ages and abilities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1557360178537-HTUEC834GNB5MHD26P21/JoeD11.jpg Committees - Family Families, young and old are the foundation of a stable healthy society.

Make it easier to allow mixed-uses in a business A mixed-use business is a business with more than one type of operation in the same space - for example a bookstore that also serves coffee, or a laundromat that includes a bakery. Allowing mixed-uses have at least two potential benefits: first, it gives a small business an additional potential revenue stream, and second, in a retail environment, it gives a shopper a reason to linger and increase their likelihood of buying something. In December 2018 the Board of Supervisors passed a set of Planning Code changes entitled "Planning Code - Temporary Pop-Up Retail, Flexible Retail, and Arts Activities Uses" which allows for retail spaces to have multiple uses, and in fact potentially allow multiple business owners to use the same space. However that legislation only applies to Districts 1, 4, 5, 10, and 11 and we believe it should be extended to include District 3. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1552588053069-M7TZT0UUNODSH2NMFL3R/North-Beach208.jpg Small Business Roadmap - 4.) Be cautious about a “vacancy tax” on landlords One item with recent attention, that we remain very cautious on, is a vacancy tax on commercial landlords with vacant storefronts. We understand and appreciate the intention: there are indeed landlords who are not actively marketing their properties, and that affects everyone in the neighborhood. However, of the two landlords whose properties represent the greatest share of vacancies (at 21%), only half of those locations have been vacant for three years or more. This means a “vacancy tax” may only really help with 10% of the problem. Moreover, we’ve spoken with brokers and landlords with vacancies who have been desperately trying to lease their properties, and have been unable to, due to peculiarities of the planning code in our neighborhood. These landlords would potentially face a crippling tax despite their best efforts to be good neighbors. In sum, our belief is that we should be first focusing on improving the environment for small businesses in our neighborhood before imposing punitive measures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1552586287902-KLOII1HZSOIEPLH7CKK7/Screen+Shot+2019-03-14+at+10.57.43+AM.png Small Business Roadmap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1552587712618-KFZRBX3RZ6MER1LWJMTS/North-Beach078.jpg Small Business Roadmap - 2.) Make it easier for Restaurants to obtain beer and wine permits for on-site consumption (Type 41 license) Serving beer and wine is important to both the dining experience of visitors to a restaurant as well as the businesses serving that beer and wine. In particular, beer and wine represent one of the highest margin items on a restaurant’s menu and therefore serves an important profit generator. Can you imagine going to Italy and not having a glass of wine with your meal? Well, in our Little Italy in many cases we withhold this experience from you. This is another area of the Planning Code where North Beach has special, more restrictive, treatment. In San Francisco, only full restaurants are allowed to serve beer and wine with their meals; however most of our smaller restaurants are defined as Limited Restaurants, and are therefore not allowed to serve beer and wine. Unfortunately, the North Beach Special Use District doesn’t allow Limited Restaurants to be rezoned as full Restaurants. We have heard of several business complain about their inability to obtain serve beer and wine with their meals, and at least one - Dip (at 1318 Grant Ave) - cited its inability to get a beer and wine license as its reason for closing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1552589162046-AAH463K5BXZQSV9Y7XXU/Parklet_SF_1024X724.jpg Small Business Roadmap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1552589750974-BLP73QF8BY97WYD051IY/North-Beach142.jpg Small Business Roadmap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1552586221103-TPOJ8M6O0QQ5CEOR5GMB/Screen+Shot+2019-03-14+at+10.56.37+AM.png Small Business Roadmap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1552589369498-BMBW1KNBOXZJDX8BVCA2/hayes.jpg Small Business Roadmap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1552585953551-1PW0WXIEJ25CFNFWW0AA/North-Beach138+%281%29.jpg Small Business Roadmap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1552588303972-FP2UEHWS8JJK6IUZB23Q/7658245356_b1cca730ef_b.jpg Small Business Roadmap - 5.) Make the streetscape in our retail corridors more appealing to visitors An inviting street environment invites visitors to visit our neighborhood and invites them to linger. Hayes Valley and The Mission stand out as neighborhoods that have used green spaces, street art, and innovative business settings to draw visitors from all across the city. For our neighborhood a number of cost-effective ideas could draw visitors to our neighborhood, including: *Murals and other street art that celebrate the great history of our neighborhood *Easier to navigate sidewalks - for example, simply replacing parking meters with pay stations on Grant Ave would allow pedestrians to stroll side-by-side *Public gathering spaces, including parklets, inviting visitors to linger and engage more fully with the community *Cleaner sidewalks and streets - facilitated by more street cleanings, Big Belly trash cans (like those that we recently helped bring to the neighborhood), and police patrols *Storefront makeovers of our longer-standing businesses through the Office of Economic and Workforce Development’s SF Shines program This recommendation has particular urgency given the upcoming Washington Square Park closure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1552586037398-BJKRYBOS3IV94N48CW99/North-Beach199.jpg Small Business Roadmap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1552587256224-P84DPOAO14AYHP1PSQ8D/North-Beach156.jpg Small Business Roadmap - 1.) Make more allowances for Restaurants and Limited Restaurants Section 780.3 of the Planning Code defining the North Beach Special Use District specifically aims to allocate more space for retail and services businesses, and limit the number of places for food and drink. This preference may have made sense in the past; however, it doesn’t reflect the current nature of shopping, which has steadily and dramatically shifted online. The current Planning Code (sections 186.1d and 178d) makes it just about impossible to open a restaurant in a space that was not very recently a restaurant or bar. Specifically, North Beach is one of only four neighborhoods that limits the period that a former restaurant space can be reopened as a new restaurant to 18 months without going through a new approval process. After this 18 months has passed there is no clear process by which that space can revert to being a restaurant. To acknowledge the new reality of the way we shop, these sections should be modified to allow Restaurants and Limited Restaurants in more spaces, regardless of their historic or recent use. https://www.northbeachneighbors.org/donate daily 0.75 2019-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1563397181460-IIAM9MDG3SXSTNW1NSPH/NBN.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1563397233877-YMLLWBUZ8GAXW403KSDE/IMG_20190708_184009.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1554242424387-Q6L3L7O6733N63SBNXBP/_brand_assets_images_logos_zapier-logo.png Donate https://www.northbeachneighbors.org/columbus-intersection daily 0.75 2019-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1556050517086-5PW8U2FDHD7ENPCKZ49N/Screen+Shot+2019-04-23+at+1.14.58+PM.png Columbus Intersection An updated rendering of what we think is possible today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1556050985497-3C6HWRISXP54SVK4UYJ6/vallejo-plaza-sfcta.jpg Columbus Intersection A past concept by SFCTA, in 2010. https://www.northbeachneighbors.org/sundays daily 0.75 2019-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1562562189883-830T9BV0OFRIACAPU81R/IMG_20190707_124921.jpg Sundays in the PARKing Lot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1563165617919-4GOAW8VMPJ12UIAZ0G38/66675338_1190992707758212_793140800119635968_o.jpg Sundays in the PARKing Lot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1562562302416-Q3EMY5VDPJJRI36RO0AN/IMG_20190707_122551.jpg Sundays in the PARKing Lot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1563859530372-LZ4J5OVJ5UEK6157XJK7/MVIMG_20190721_133547.jpg Sundays in the PARKing Lot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1563859826869-HB3JRSPZFXTB2OX2TA2D/Screen+Shot+2019-07-22+at+10.29.45+PM.png Sundays in the PARKing Lot https://www.northbeachneighbors.org/ash-cans daily 0.75 2019-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1566775800998-4V59HBULFZU7P6YNGP13/Screen+Shot+2019-08-25+at+1.19.57+PM.png Ash Cans A map of the Ash Cans that are currently installed in the North Beach area. https://www.northbeachneighbors.org/north-beach-transit-survey daily 0.75 2020-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1581033016415-1N7ZCJCMGLNY8UKNC397/image-asset.jpeg North Beach Transit Survey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1581029579365-A217N4SWPLY92ENJGOPI/photo-1553719716-2722c819ee04.jpeg North Beach Transit Survey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1581030116885-FN1C4BLGR5YLKI57D7T8/IMG_4672.jpg North Beach Transit Survey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1581033124831-WCTACVNF9T6NVF1XXEQE/image-asset.jpeg North Beach Transit Survey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1581032799423-W0PRP7P657KSNFS2LU2Y/image-asset.jpeg North Beach Transit Survey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1581030216256-GXSYDR5QS9F8IJHYN9A6/Red+Transit-Only+Lanes+-+Geary.jpg North Beach Transit Survey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1581029665970-EFHMDZ4CADZGYPJM11QV/photo-1557163462-ce1cb6098735.jpeg North Beach Transit Survey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1581032957506-JNHQ40210ELO3F2WPRW5/image-asset.jpeg North Beach Transit Survey https://www.northbeachneighbors.org/covid19 daily 0.75 2020-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1585762198996-XHEFSGNOJY42AY9K516F/46239844_1585009805996690_r.jpeg COVID19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b7bb4cde7a319d6cea6b/1584230687722-3HD2TYTTU9SI8CQUS7UU/Screen+Shot+2020-03-14+at+4.56.48+PM.png COVID19 - Make a Donation Support Neighborhood Organizations Donate Now - TEL HI, Cameron House, North Beach Citizens, NEXT Village, Salesians Club.
