Historic Preservation Commission reviews draft EIR for 770 Wolsey project

The San Francisco Planning Department is currently seeking public input on the draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for a proposed project, following a review by the Historic Preservation Commission. During a recent meeting, the Commission expressed their approval of the draft EIR, stating that the analysis of historic resources and proposed mitigation measures were both adequate and accurate. They also agreed that the report considered a reasonable range of preservation alternatives.

The public review period for the draft EIR began on June 24, 2021, and will close on August 9, 2021. Residents are encouraged to submit their comments in writing to Jenny Delummo, the EIR coordinator, either via email or by mail. The Planning Department will compile all comments received and respond in writing, making necessary revisions to the draft EIR based on the feedback.

During the meeting, members of the public were invited to share their thoughts verbally. One community member, Carol Miller, voiced her opposition to the 770 Wolsey project, highlighting the importance of community engagement in the planning process.

This ongoing dialogue between city officials and residents underscores the city's commitment to transparency and public involvement in development projects that may impact the community's historical and cultural landscape. As the deadline for comments approaches, residents are reminded of the importance of their voices in shaping the future of San Francisco.
