Committee backs rezoning of two small BART parcels at 68 Nantucket Avenue to RH-1
Summary
The committee approved a recommendation to the full Board to rezone two small former BART parcels at 68 Nantucket Avenue (combined ~1,900 sq ft) from Public to RH-1, after planning staff said site constraints make other development options unlikely.
The committee voted March 25 to forward to the full Board a Planning Code map amendment that would rezone two parcels at 68 Nantucket Avenue (Block 3144B, Lots 27A and 36A) from Public to RH-1 single-family/residential house zoning.
Planning Department staff Gabriela Pinto described the lots as irregular, undersized and previously owned by BART until 2017. Pinto said the parcels total roughly 1,900 square feet (one about 300 sq ft and the other about 1,600 sq ft) and are physically constrained by topography and adjacent rail alignment, limiting feasible development options.
Supervisor members questioned whether aggregating parcels to enable multifamily development would be preferable for housing supply; staff said the current request is limited to rezoning the two small lots and that rezoning adjacent properties was not part of this file.
No public comment was recorded. Chair Melgar moved to forward the ordinance to the full Board with a positive recommendation; the vote was 3-0 in favor.
Next step: the ordinance will be considered by the Board of Supervisors on the board meeting schedule.
