Marshalls/HomeGoods cleared for City Center space at Geary and Masonic
Summary
The commission approved a conditional use to allow Marshalls/HomeGoods to occupy a 53,000‑square‑foot second‑floor space at City Center (Geary & Masonic), a move staff said will fill high‑vacancy retail space and create roughly 50 full‑time jobs.
The Planning Commission unanimously approved a conditional‑use authorization (case 2009.0524C) for Marshalls/HomeGoods to occupy a 53,000‑square‑foot second‑floor space at the City Center shopping center at Geary and Masonic.
Staff said the center has experienced long vacancies since the loss of national tenants and that the proposed formula retailer is consistent with the site's shopping‑center character and public‑transit access. Jim Rubin, representing the center and the tenant, said Marshalls would bring employment opportunities and renewed activity to the center; staff noted no submissions of written opposition as of the hearing.
Commissioners asked that tenant hiring efforts include outreach to San Francisco residents; the project representative said Marshalls expects to create approximately 50 full‑time jobs and would likely hire locally. The commission voted to approve the request, finding the use appropriate in the shopping‑center context.
