Planning Commission approves findings and several permits, certifies EIR for Golden Gate Stables
Summary
On Nov. 15 the commission disapproved a use determination for 401 Divisadero (5–1), unanimously certified the Golden Gate Park Stables final EIR, approved demolition and a replacement residence at Ninth Street, approved a discretionary addition at Second Avenue (with modification), and approved a conditional-use for Urban Outfitters at Fillmore (5–1).
The San Francisco Planning Commission took several final actions and votes during its Nov. 15 meeting.
Item 12 — 1100 Oak Street (401 Divisadero): After public comment alleging petition irregularities and a staff report, the commission moved to disapprove the use determination for the Divisadero location and adopted findings to support the disapproval. The motion passed 5–1 with Commissioner Antonini voting no.
Item 13 — Golden Gate Park Stables (case 2004.0194E): Planning staff presented the final environmental impact report for the Golden Gate Park Stables renovation. The commission moved to certify the final EIR as adequate and consistent with CEQA and local administrative code provisions; the motion passed unanimously.
Item 16 — 51920 Ninth Street (demolition and replacement): Staff recommended, and the commission approved, a demolition permit for the existing unsound dwelling and later approved the replacement two-unit building. The commission required that the sponsor work with staff to simplify the cornice/parapet design; both motions passed without opposition.
Item 17 — 1319/30 Second Avenue (discretionary review): Neighbors raised sunlight and shadow concerns and requested modifications. The applicant reduced projection and setback dimensions and removed certain bays; after deliberation the commission approved the revised proposal with a motion to adjust the Ground Floor projection, which passed unanimously.
Item 18 — 3322 Fillmore Street (Urban Outfitters conditional use): Planning staff recommended approval with standard conditions for a formula retail authorization for Urban Outfitters. Nearby boutique owners objected, citing potential competitive impacts. After discussion, the commission approved the conditional-use authorization by a 5–1 vote (Commissioner Olague opposed).
These actions were taken in public session; the Planning Department will publish adopted findings and conditions in the administrative record for each case.
