Commission OKs temporary relocation rules to let a North Beach liquor store reopen after fire
Summary
The commission approved an amendment to allow a long‑standing North Beach liquor store displaced by a fire to operate temporarily within 500 feet of its original location and clarified returning/fee rules if the store does not return within three years.
The Planning Commission approved a code amendment to allow a long-standing North Beach retail liquor business displaced by a fire to relocate temporarily within the Neighborhood Conservation District, subject to conditions and a planned return to its original site.
Sunny (Supervisor Peskin’s office) described the case as “trying to get him into a new location within 500 feet of the fire that displaced him at 659 Union Street” and emphasized city efforts to expedite a temporary relocation so the proprietor could keep serving the neighborhood. Planning staff said the amendment clarifies entitlement, waives certain development fees for the temporary period, requires all permits at the temporary site, and requires a conditional use authorization and development fees if the tenant does not return within three years.
Outcome: The commission approved staff’s recommendations unanimously, adding technical clarifications requested by staff and neighborhood stakeholders.
