Neighbors win continuance; commission moves Market Octavia and a CPMC Davies item to February
Summary
After neighborhood groups urged more time to negotiate design and impacts for a proposed CPMC Davies campus and related Market Octavia items, the Planning Commission voted to continue multiple calendar items to early 2007, including moving Market Octavia items to Feb. 1 and other items to Jan. 11–March 1.
The San Francisco Planning Commission voted to continue several calendar items after extended public comment from neighborhood task forces and CPMC representatives.
Jeffrey Nelson, representing California Pacific Medical Center, said CPMC preferred keeping the Jan. 25 date for item 3 but acknowledged scheduling challenges. Neighborhood leaders including Richard McGarry of the Buena Vista Neighborhood Association and Peter Cohen of the Bowes Triangle Neighborhood Association urged the commission to allow more time for task‑force negotiations and additional neighborhood meetings. "We hope to continue those discussions with CPMC and their team to mutually resolve the issues that are still open," McGarry said.
Neighbors described the project as a major development in a residential area near Market Octavia and requested time to complete historic surveys and refine design responses. Several residents and task‑force members told the commission that a Feb. 1 continuance would give necessary time for outreach and technical review.
On a consolidated motion the commission continued multiple items as proposed: Market and Octavia items (Nos. 1 and 2) to Feb. 1, item 3 (601 DuBose Avenue) to Feb. 1, item 4 to Feb. 1, item 5 to Feb. 8, items 6a/6b to March 1, and items 15 and 16 to Jan. 11. The motion passed on a roll‑call vote with Commissioners Antonini, Sully, Moore and Seguin recording "Aye." The continued scheduling will return these matters to the commission's January/February calendar for fuller consideration.
The continuance preserves opportunities for more neighborhood engagement before any substantive votes on the proposals.
