Summary of formal actions taken by the San Francisco Planning Commission on Oct. 13, 2022.
- Continuances (motion passed unanimously 7–0): several items were continued, including 3150 California Street (prelim negative declaration appeal) and item 13 (1500 Fifteenth Street) to 11/17/2022. (See continuance calendar.)
- Consent calendar: Commission approved consent items 3 (270 Columbus Ave), 5 (1869 Union St) and 6 (580 Green St) by roll call (7–0); item 4 (1700 California) was pulled for separate consideration. Minutes for Sept. 29, 2022 were adopted (7–0).
- 2028 Fountain Street — Conditional Use Authorization and variances: Staff recommended approval and the commission approved the conditional use authorization and related variances with conditions by roll call 7–0 after public comment raising hydrology, privacy and massing concerns. Project includes merger of two lots and construction that would yield five additional dwelling units, 4 off‑street parking spaces and an ADU. (Project presentation and neighbor testimony recorded.)
- Sutro Tower (horizontal cladding replacement — Item 14a): Commission approved the mandatory discretionary review to permit replacement of interior horizontal panels (levels 2–4) and attached conditions (7–0). The commission directed staff to expedite CEQA evaluation for the question of vertical‑cladding removal or replacement; no final determination on vertical cladding was made pending environmental review.
- 476 Lombard Street — Discretionary review (Item 16): After hearing an appeal from neighbors alleging plan and CEQA deficiencies, the commission voted 6–1 to approve the revised project (Commissioner Moore voted no). Staff concluded the revised plans preserved light wells and minimized visibility.
- 1700 California Street — Conditional Use Authorization (pulled consent item): Planning staff recommended approval to legalize health‑service uses on the second and third floors (interior tenant improvements only); the commission approved the item unanimously in the reconvened session (vote recorded in packet as 6–0 due to attendance at time of roll call).
Votes are recorded in the meeting transcript and minutes; each approved item will be processed with the conditions discussed on the record.
