Planning Commission unanimously approves continuances, splits consent to address recusal and approves modified permit for 146 Jordan

The San Francisco Planning Commission on July 8 voted unanimously to continue multiple items and to approve several consent-calendar permits after a procedural recusal was accommodated.

Commissioners voted 5–0 to continue items listed on the continuance calendar, including the variance hearing for 146 Jordan Avenue to July 28, and the conditional-use authorization and variances for 5114–5116 Third Street to Sept. 23. Project counsel Ryan Patterson told commissioners neighborhood groups supported a continuance for 628 Shotwell so developers and neighbors could continue outreach.

The commission handled a recusal request for 146 Jordan after a nearby property ownership raised conflict concerns. Commissioners split the consent calendar so that 146 Jordan could be considered separately; Commissioner Diamond was restricted from participating on that specific item. A motion to approve discretionary review and adopt the modified permit for 146 Jordan carried 4–0 (Diamond recused). Items 4 and 5 on the consent calendar were then approved by a unanimous vote of the full commission.

The commission also adopted draft minutes for June 17 and June 24 by unanimous roll-call vote.

No appeals or substantive deliberations on the merits of the approved consent items were conducted at this meeting; staff confirmed specific new dates for the continued items and noted both scheduling constraints and the commission’s full calendar into late summer and early fall.

Next steps: staff logged the continuances and updates to hearing dates; the commission expects the continued items and any associated public outreach to be reported at their future hearings.
