Summary
An appeal challenging a CEQA categorical-exemption and a conditional-use authorization for improvements at 1310 Junipero Serra Boulevard was continued to May 13 to allow more time for negotiations after appellants requested a continuance.
The Board of Supervisors on April 29 agreed to continue to a date certain (May 13, 2025) two related public hearings and associated motions concerning a project at 1310 Junipero Serra Boulevard. The project proposes demolition of nine maintenance structures and construction of a single‑story, roughly 19,100–20,000 gross square foot maintenance building. Appellants challenged the planning department’s issuance of a categorical CEQA exemption and sought review of a conditional‑use authorization.
During the meeting the board opened the public hearings for items 34–41 and heard public comment limited to the question of whether to grant a continuance. The appellant’s representative said the appellants had recently retained counsel and requested more time to negotiate with the San Francisco Golf Club. David Greenbaum, principal of Saint Thomas More School, said the proposed building would be about 20 feet from the school’s preschool and urged more negotiation time.
Why it matters: the project directly abuts an elementary school property and the appellants asked for additional weeks to negotiate potential modifications or mitigations. The board continued the appeals to May 13, 2025 to allow those talks to proceed.
