Planning commission continues 8 Washington Street items to March 22
Summary
The Planning Commission unanimously voted to continue all items related to the 8 Washington Street project (case no. 2007.003) — including certification of the final EIR, CEQA findings, shadow-limit questions for Suburban Park, a general plan amendment and height reclassification — to March 22, 2012, at 10 a.m.
The San Francisco Planning Commission voted unanimously to continue all items on a special calendar related to a proposed development at 8 Washington Street to March 22, 2012, at 10:00 a.m., the commission announced at the start of its meeting.
The items scheduled for continuance included certification of a final environmental impact report for case number 2007.003; adoption of findings required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); a joint consideration with the Recreation and Park Commission on establishing a cumulative shadow limit for Suburban Park; Planning Commission consideration of whether the project's net new shadow on Suburban Park would be adverse and, if so, whether to authorize allocation of the cumulative shadow limit; a proposed amendment to the height-and-bulk map in the Northeastern Waterfront area of the city's General Plan; findings of consistency with the General Plan and priority policies in Planning Code section 101.1; and a requested height reclassification on zoning map HT01 and related conditional use authorization for parts of the southwestern portion of the site.
"And I should note that this the scheduled joint hearing between the Planning Commission and the Recreation and Park Commission is canceled," the meeting's presiding unidentified speaker said when opening the session and describing the proposal to continue the items. The speaker later announced the formal motion and the result: "We have a unanimous vote for continuance of all items on calendar to 03/22/2012, at 10AM to be held in these chambers."
No members of the public spoke on the continuance before the commission moved forward. A motion to continue Item 1 and Items 2a through 2g/2h was made on the record and seconded; Commissioner Anthony recorded the second. The roll-call vote recorded "Aye" from Commissioners Antonini, Borden, Chiu, Miguel, Seguaya and Moore; the presiding speaker announced the motion carried unanimously.
Key details left on the calendar for the March 22 session include case number 2007.003 for 8 Washington Street; the CEQA actions (final EIR certification and findings); the joint shadow-limit consideration involving Suburban Park; a proposed General Plan amendment to the Northeastern Waterfront area (map 2, height-and-bulk plan); Planning Code section 101.1 consistency findings; and a zoning map HT01 height reclassification (noted in the meeting as reclassifying portions from an 84E Height and Bulk District to a 92E Height and Bulk District and to a 136 Height and Bulk District) and conditional use authorization requests. The meeting record did not specify the mover of the motion by name on the transcript beyond the second being recorded by Commissioner Anthony.
The meeting was then adjourned.
