Board continues University of San Francisco Lone Mountain student residence hearing to Jan. 29
Summary
The board continued a public hearing on a waiver/adjustment request for the University of San Francisco Lone Mountain student residence to Jan. 29 at 3 p.m. at the request of the university; the board opened the hearing and accepted public comment today.
The Board of Supervisors opened and then continued a public hearing on Dec. 11 concerning the University of San Francisco's request for a waiver, adjustment or reduction of development requirements for a student residence at 2500 Turk Street (Lone Mountain campus).
Supervisor Katy Tang said the university asked for a continuance while it worked on details of a solution; Supervisor London Breed (Mayor) was not involved in this item. Supervisor London Breed was not the presiding officer for this item. Deputy City Attorney John Givner advised the board that the municipal code requires a hearing within 60 days but does not impose a deadline for a final decision; the board may open the hearing today and continue it to a later date.
Public comment was solicited and none was offered at the meeting, so the board set the continued hearing for Jan. 29 at 3 p.m. The board instructed the clerk to place the matter on the Jan. 29 agenda as a 3 p.m. special order.
Why it matters: The Lone Mountain student residence project has required multiple administrative approvals, and the board's continued hearing provides the university time to refine its proposals while preserving the board's authority to act within the municipal timeline.
Next steps: The board will reconvene the hearing on Jan. 29; the record will remain open until that date.
