Many times those pleas for help seemingly went unheard. \u201cThere\u2019s so much more that this neighborhood needs to survive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To combat skyrocketing commercial rents that have threatened the existence of small, mom-and-pop businesses within the city\u2019s Latino corridor, the Board of Supervisors voted 10-1 July 28 to approve an emergency ordinance that would prohibit the merging of business storefronts for 45 days.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27455\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27455\" style=\"width: 266px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Calle-24_01web1.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-27455\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Calle-24_01web1.jpg?resize=266%2C399&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"President and co-founder of the Calle 24 organization Erick Arguello smiles outside City Hall after hearing that an ordinance temporary banning commercial mergers in the Mission and 24th area passed July 28.

Photo Santiago Mejia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Supporters of the ordinance\u2014sponsored by District 9 Supervisor David Campos and supported by Mayor Ed Lee\u2019s office, the Planning Department and the Land Use and Transportation Committee\u2014championed the legislation based on the current trend of landlords wanting to make more money by combining storefronts with the ambition of renting out spaces to high-end restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Arguello noted that a few spaces within the corridor have been targets for such mergers. One is the vacant restaurant space next to the Rose Food Mart at 22nd and Potrero streets, for which the landlord is asking $4,000 a month He is also asking for $150,000 up front before signing over the lease. The owner of the Rose Food Mart told Arguello that the landlord is considering combining his leased space (the Food Mart) with the next-door vacancy for one large restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>Another is the now vacant space that once housed the El Salvadoran Usulutan Restaurant at 24th and Harrison, which stands next to another vacancy that housed a church. Arguello and Miguel Bustos, also a member of the Calle 24 Council, say landlord Alan McCarthy illegally combined the two spaces without acquiring the proper permits and is now asking for $12,500 per month for the space. Arguello also mentioned that a woman from El Salvador approached McCarthy about renting the space for a restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe told the lady that he won\u2019t rent to Salvadorans,\u201d Arguello said. \u201cBecause the last [tenant] was Salvadoran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arguello said that merged commercial spaces that rent for higher prices drive up the average rent costs within the corridor, which makes it difficult for small businesses, especially when their leases have to be renewed.<\/p>\n<p>According to a report by the Mayor\u2019s \u201cInvest in Neighborhoods\u201d Initiative, there are 164 storefronts on 24th street between Mission Street and Potrero Avenue; 26 percent (or 42) of which are restaurants and bars.<\/p>\n<p>The ordinance is part of Calle 24\u2019s larger ambition to create a Special Use District, which Campos\u2019 office is currently drawing up legislation for January of 2016. When the board reconvenes in 45 days, Campos and the Mayor\u2019s office will seek an extension of the prohibition of mergers for another 6 to 8 months.<br \/>\nThe ordinance made it out of the Land Use and Transportation Committee on July 13 by a 2-1 vote; the lone dissenter was District 8 Supervisor Scott Wiener, who was also the lone dissenting vote on July 28.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27454\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27454\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Calle-24_02web1.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-27454\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Calle-24_02web1.jpg?resize=500%2C333&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Carolina Morales, a Community United Against Violence organization staff, supports the temporary ban on commercial mergers on Calle 24.

But according to the Invest in Neighborhoods report, the actual number of vacancies available for lease is 6, or about four percent.<\/p>\n<p>At the Land Use and Transportation committee meeting, members of Open 24th spoke of the vacancies, even citing how Jack\u2019s Club on 24th and Utah streets has been vacant for years. Jack\u2019s, however, is located past Potrero, technically beyond the Latino corridor boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey don\u2019t know what\u2019s happening,\u201d Arguello said of Open 24th. \u201cSo they count that as a vacancy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Temporary ban on storefront  mergers will give small businesses a fighting chance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":27454,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3929],"tags":[481,4107,5891],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-27452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-calle-24","tag-calle-24-latino-cultural-district-council","tag-eric-aguello","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
