Commission votes to continue multiple cases after DBI notes new site violations

The San Francisco Planning Commission on a unanimous 7–0 vote continued multiple items on its continuance calendar to later dates after staff said the Department of Building Inspection (DBI) uncovered additional site issues that require sorting before hearings can proceed.

Staff listed the items at the start of the hearing and proposed continuance dates: Case 2021Hyphen8984CU8627 (Cortland Avenue) to 2022‑01‑27; Case 2021‑7919 (CUA at 2000 Post Street) to 2022‑02‑10; Case 2019Hyphen0228308HB3055 (Clement Street) to 2022‑02‑17; Case 2021Hyphen006098 CUA (1358 South Venice Avenue) to 2022‑04‑28; and discretionary review Case 2016Hyphen000302 DRP (460 Valeo/Vallejo) to 2022‑03‑31 as announced by staff.

During public comment on the continuance calendar, Ozzie Brown of the San Francisco Land Use Coalition opposed the delay on the 460 Vallejo matter and alleged developer violations and an "illegal merger," saying the public has been "kept in the dark." Staff responded that the continuance is not requested by the project sponsor and that DBI has made new discoveries at the site that must be resolved before the matter returns to the Planning Commission. Justin Jonker, representing the project sponsor, said an inspector reviewed the units and "found no merger," and the sponsor did not oppose the continuance but requested a prompt rescheduling.

Commissioner Imperial moved to continue the listed items as proposed; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously. The record shows the continuances were approved without additional conditions recorded at the hearing.

Several public commenters during general comment also raised broader enforcement and demolition‑count concerns, including claims that demolition counts have not been updated since 2008 and requests that staff revisit long‑standing enforcement policies.
