At-a-glance: votes and decisions from the Jan. 13 Planning Commission meeting
Summary
Roll-call votes and motions taken Jan. 13 included unanimous continuance date-setting for three items; unanimous initiation of a zoning amendment for 2451 Sacramento; approval of several land-use items including Upper Fillmore restaurant controls; denial of a multi-year extension for 519 Ellis/430 Eddy; discretionary review directions for 35 Lloyd and disapproval of a permit for 456 Urbano Drive.
The Planning Commission recorded multiple formal motions and outcomes during the Jan. 13 hearing. This summary lists the principal actions, basic motion language, and outcomes as reflected in the public record.
- Continuance dates for three items (Case 2009.0649, Case 2009.0646, Case 2010.1121): motion to set item 1 to Feb. 17, item 2 to March 24, item 3 to Feb. 10 — passed unanimously (roll call).
- Consent calendar item 4 (Case 2010.0766Z, 2451 Sacramento Street): staff recommended initiation of a zoning map amendment to rezone an SF Housing Authority lot from RM1 to Upper Fillmore NCD; commissioners accepted initiation and the item was pulled from consent for regular consideration and public hearing.
- Street-frontage / street-frontage controls ordinance (amendments to Planning Code sections): commission approved staff-recommended modifications (including a 10-foot minimum garage door recommendation) and directed continued work on snout-house language — motion passed unanimously.
- Upper Fillmore NCD restaurant/food-service ordinance: commission voted to recommend departmental modifications and asked the incoming supervisor to continue outreach; motion to approve with department modifications passed 6-0.
- Kiehl's formula-retail conditional use authorization (1971 Fillmore): staff recommended approval with conditions; commissioners approved the conditional use authorization unanimously.
- Extension request for 519 Ellis & 430 Eddy (senior affordable housing entitlement extension): after public opposition and debate, the commission voted a motion of intent to disapprove/deny the entitlement extension and to adopt findings to revoke; motion passed 6-1.
- 35 Lloyd Street discretionary review (DR) request: long contested hearing; commissioners required a lower height limit (31 feet measured at the front) and shifting mass to the east to reduce impacts on adjacent light wells and privacy; motion to take DR and adopt conditions passed 6-1.
- 456 Urbano Drive (as-built deviations / discretionary review): staff recommended taking discretionary review and disapproving the as-built permit because of multiple deviations from the 2006 permit and ignored stop-work orders; the commission voted unanimously to disapprove the as-built permit and take DR.
- Park Merced initiation: after a long informational session and split public testimony, the commission voted 4-3 to initiate planning-code, zoning-map and general-plan amendments to begin the formal ordinance drafting, environmental and hearing process. Initiation does not approve design or demolition and does not waive subsequent CEQA review.
Each of the items above has supporting materials, staff reports and hearing transcripts. The commission's minutes and the posted staff materials provide the official text of motions, exact roll-call votes, and any associated findings that were adopted.
