Board continues appeal on 450 Hamilton Street to allow planning re-review
Summary
The Board of Appeals continued an appeal over conditions on an earlier permit for 450 Hamilton Street to Feb. 20, 2008 for additional planning review and written updates; commissioners cited a possible change of use and neighborhood concerns about scale and mid‑block open space.
The San Francisco Board of Appeals voted unanimously to continue the appeal over conditions placed on a permit for 450 Hamilton Street to February 20, 2008, directing Planning staff to review the application with updated materials.
Scott Sanchez of the Planning Department reviewed the project history: a proposed 10‑foot rear extension previously conditioned by the board to address light, air and concerns about a prior residential‑care use. Appellants said the property is no longer used as a foster‑care facility and requested removal of the conditions so the family could expand for household needs. Neighbors and adjacent property owners reiterated concerns about loss of light and neighborhood character.
Commissioners said the use change (actual or alleged) warranted a fresh planning analysis. The board closed the public hearing, asked for written updates from Planning and the parties prior to the Feb. 20 date, and continued the matter to that meeting.
