Planning commission grants one-week continuance for El Camino Del Mar appeal
Summary
After debate about fairness and notice, the Planning Commission agreed to continue the El Camino Del Mar appeal one week so the opponent can attend in person; the continuance passed 4–2 and the item will be first on the May 19 calendar.
The San Francisco Planning Commission on May 11 voted to continue an appeal over a development-related review at El Camino Del Mar for one week, after hearing competing requests from the project sponsor and the opponent.
Commission staff said the opponent had informed the department in advance that he might be unable to attend and later provided travel itineraries suggesting he was out of state. Project representatives said they were prepared to proceed and urged the commission not to delay further after months of review. Commissioners split on how to weigh the late notice against the value of in-person testimony.
Commissioner Sugaya moved to continue the item one week and place it at the beginning of the May 19 calendar; the motion was seconded and passed 4–2. Staff said the item will be heard next week with or without the project sponsor present if the sponsor fails to appear again.
Next steps: the matter is scheduled for the May 19 hearing in the first position on the regular calendar.
