Planning Commission roundup: continuances, approvals and conditions from Oct. 5 meeting
Summary
At its Oct. 5 meeting the Planning Commission continued multiple contested items, approved several rezonings and conditional uses with conditions, and imposed targeted design modifications on a discretionary review. Notable votes included continuances for items 4 and 8, approval of 1693 Alameda demolition and replacement, approval of a wine retail conditional use, and a decision to add an NSR on 2462 20th Ave after debate.
The San Francisco Planning Commission took multiple procedural and substantive actions at its Oct. 5 meeting.
Key outcomes:
- Continuances: The commission voted unanimously to continue Item 4 (elements of design) to Oct. 12 and Item 8 (3300 Clay Street, case 2006.0897D) to Oct. 19.
- Consent calendar and demolition/rebuild: The commission approved demolition and new construction for 1693 Alameda Boulevard (cases 2006.021D and 2006.0952D) without discretionary review after a motion to not take mandatory discretionary review and to approve the demolition and replacement.
- Conditional uses and retail: A conditional use to allow a retail wine store and limited wine tasting at 1405–1415 Green Street was approved with conditions; staff noted an August 2005 interpretation that allows limited wine tasting with restrictions. Later, a Hayes Street storefront reconfiguration (372–398 Hayes) was approved with consistent wine-tasting conditions.
- Rezonings and referrals: Three related rezoning and general-plan referral items for the 1800 block of Alemany/915 Cayuga were presented and unanimously recommended for approval by the commission to the Board of Supervisors.
- Discretionary reviews: 124 Schwerin Street (case 2005.1143D) was approved subject to eliminating a front deck and setting the addition back 2 feet 3 inches to reduce impacts on a neighbor’s bay window. A contentious discretionary review for 2462 20th Avenue produced a failed motion to impose a 15‑foot setback and the project was approved as proposed; staff said it will add a notice of special restriction to the permit record.
Several items were continued to allow parties to confer or to accommodate absent commissioners. Staff noted it will process a first-source hiring agreement for a previously approved project after confirming it is required.
Most motions were recorded by roll call; staff will finalize the permit conditions and scheduling for the continued items.
