Summary
The Board of Appeals continued an appeal over 700 Indiana Street (case 24‑040) to Nov. 13 after appellants said parties were negotiating and the permit holder opposed further delay; Commissioner J. R. Epler recused from that continuance matter.
The San Francisco Board of Appeals on Oct. 30 continued an appeal concerning 700 Indiana Street (appeal 24‑040) to Nov. 13, 2024, after neighborhood representatives said they were in active negotiations with the permit holder and asked for more time to reach enforceable conditions.
Donovan Lacy, president of the Dogpatch Neighborhood Association, told the board the neighborhood and permit holder have been negotiating recent compromises on ground‑floor activation, funding for the Dogpatch Arch Plaza, and streetscape improvements, and requested a continuance so agreed terms could be incorporated into the permit conditions. The permit holder’s counsel, John Kevlin, opposed the continuance, saying prior commissions and the Board of Supervisors had already approved the project and that further delay was unfair to the permit holder.
Commissioners discussed the equities of delay and scheduling. After legal staff cited San Francisco Charter §4.104 on voting majorities, the board scheduled the continuance for Nov. 13. Commissioner J. R. Epler disclosed a conflict and recused himself from the continuance matter.
