Pacifica Tribune/Jean Bartlett, Features Correspondent, 7/14/15. "Pacifica Resource Center needs help in stretching space."
| PRC might have space for a storage container, or a single-wide portable modular/trailer. Got ideas, can you help? |
.... With all the services that take place at the Center, things are getting crowded. "We
have outgrown our indoor space," Rees said. "But we do have a side lot
and our landlord has suggested that we use that space in a way that
works best for us. We are thinking of either a storage container or a
single-wide portable. If we got a portable, we would move our food
programs in there so that they would be in just one space."
"We are looking to the
public for help," Rees continued. "And we are looking for the right
contractor to put the bid in to get the job done whether we get a
storage container or a portable, whichever we can make work best, based
on funding and location. But in either case, we need a contractor to do
the prep work. We are asking the public if they have any ideas of where
we can get a portable, essentially like a school portable, and/or if
they can donate." Read more.

The PRC provides a wonderful service to the community however adding a storage unit to the premises in what is essentially a residential neighborhood is inappropriate. There are many, many empty buildings in Pacifica's commercial strip malls that should be looked into for an expansion or relocation. How 'bout Eureka Square?
Palmetto is primarily a commercial street where the PRC is. There are commercial buildings on the corner across from the PRC, next door to the PRC, and on the other side of the street.
Shameful how city council past and present make this group jump through flaming hoops just to get some money.
A storage unit with food in it is just asking to be robbed. It's only a matter of time before some tweaker breaks into the unit and tries to make a quick couple bucks off the bounty.
Yes PRC is in a commercial zone surrounded by residentials.
If the goal is to beautify this area and make it a place for the community to enjoy, relax and shop, bringing in large storage containers is pretty tacky.
Some of the blight on Palmetto is already bad enough. Let's not add to it. OK?
To the above comments. Hungry people need food, the landlord says okay to the portable unit on existing land (no rate increase). PRC is trying to solve their space problem.
This is Pacifica where civic planning is limited, and the unwritten city motto is "get tacky". If you've lived here two-minutes, get real.
