Appellant withdraws; board affirms planning commission and approves conditional‑use authorization for 4100 Third Street
Summary
After an agreement between the appellant and the project sponsor, the Board of Supervisors approved a conditional‑use authorization for a project at 4100 Third Street and tabled related items directing findings, as the appellant withdrew the appeal.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on April 8 approved a conditional‑use authorization (CU) for a proposed conversion project at 4100 Third Street after the appellant withdrew her appeal following an agreement with the project sponsor.
Bevette Brackett, the appellant, told the board the building at 4100 Third Street—described as a long‑standing saloon/restaurant with single‑room occupancy units above—had historical and community value and that community merchants had invested time and grant funding in the space. Brackett said she had raised concerns about loss of SRO units and lack of outreach to the Bayview community, and urged more proactive checks and equity in planning processes. She said she and the applicant had reached an agreement and then moved to withdraw the appeal, noting preservation commitments from the sponsor.
Susan Corlette, executive director of Friends of the Children, SF Bay Area, spoke for the applicant and affirmed the agreement. Deputy City Attorney Brad Russi advised the board to confirm the sponsor's concurrence with withdrawal and then proceed to public comment. No public speakers lined up for the hearing after the withdrawal; the board then voted to approve the planning commission's conditional‑use authorization (item 20) and table items 21 and 22, which dealt with a higher vote threshold to disapprove the CU and direction to prepare findings if the board wished to disapprove.
Supervisor Shamann Walton moved approval of the CU authorization; Supervisor Jackie Fielder seconded. The clerk called the roll and the chair announced the motion approved and items 21 and 22 tabled. The board's action will allow the sponsor to proceed under the planning commission approval while preservation commitments described in the public record are pursued by the applicant and community partners.
The appellant and sponsor stated their intention to work on options to preserve select historic elements and to explore workforce and culinary training uses for the renovated space.
