AGENDA FOR REGULAR MEETING - WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2004
(3) SPECIAL ITEM(S): Presentation by Planning Department staff regarding revisions to the Residential Design Guidelines.
(4) ADDENDUM ITEM(S): (4A) REHEARING REQUEST: Appeal No(s). 02-030; 50 – 8th Street; Foster Media vs. Zoning Administrator Letter from Christopher Moscone, agent for Foster Media, Appellant, requesting rehearing of Appeal No(s). 02-030, decided June 19, 2002. Upon motion by Vice President McInerney, the Board voted 2-3 (Commissioners Cullum, Saunders & El Qadah dissented) to uphold the subject determination. Four votes being necessary to overturn any departmental action under Charter § 4.106, the subject determination was upheld. Determination: that the subject Building Permit Application for a general advertising sign is disapproved because the subject property is visible from, and located within 200 feet of the Market Street Special Sign District.
(4B) JURISDICTION REQUEST TO ALLOW LATE FILING OF APPEAL: Subject property at 239 Greenwich St; Permit issued on Oct. 6, 2003
(4C) JURISDICTION REQUEST TO ALLOW LATE FILING OF APPEAL: Subject property at 945 Darien Way; Request to suspend permit dated Oct. 1, 2003
Last day to appeal was Oct. 16, 2003; Jurisdiction request received on Dec. 8, 2003 Letter from Nina Guralnik, requestor(s), asking that the Board take jurisdiction over a request by the Acting Zoning Administrator to suspend Building Permit Application No(s). 2003/08/05/1215. Reason(s) for requesting suspension: subject permit was approved erroneously over-the-counter by the Planning Department, and a subsequent review of the architectural plans revealed that this permit was taken out to construct an illegal guesthouse in the existing garage space, rather than to repair fire damage as stated on the permit application. (4D) ADOPTION OF FINDINGS: 3632-3638 Sacramento Street; Appeal No(s). 03-122; Bulkley vs. DBI, Planning Dept. Disapproval Proposed findings submitted by appellant Honor Bulkley. For discussion and adoption. Note: On Dec. 3, 2003, the Board voted 4-0-1 (Commissioner Saunders absent) to overrule the denial, and grant the permit with adoption of findings on Dec. 17, 2003. Project: on two-story office/residential building in the Sacramento Street Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District: level two has apparently been used for offices since 1976; the purpose of this application is to legalize present use; no construction is proposed. Property Owner(s): Honor Bulkley. (4E) REHEARING REQUEST: 660-662 – 28th Street; Appeal No(s). 03-181/182; Meister vs. DBI, PDA Letter from Geraldine & Richard Meister, appellant(s), requesting rehearing of Appeal No(s). 03-181/182, decided Dec. 17, 2003. At that time, upon motion by President Chin, the Board voted 5-0 to uphold the permit on condition that the deck railings be open and that white reflective paint be used on walls opposite neighbors’ bedrooms.
(5) CONSENT ITEMS (TAXI COMMISSION REVOCATION): With the consent of the Taxi Commission, the Board will proceed to a vote without testimony to overrule the revocation of the subject permit(s) with the condition that the appellants pay all appropriate permit fees and/or penalties. Without consent the Board will take testimony and then decide the appeal.

(6) APPEAL NO. 03-186
FRIENDS OF GOLDEN GATEWAY, Appellant(s)
8 Washington Street (Golden Gateway Planned Unit Development).
Appealing a determination dated October 22, 2003, addressed to David Burnett, that although the Planning Department reviews projects within expired Redevelopment project areas as Planned Unit Developments (PUD’s), the department does not and has never treated entire project areas as a single PUD, and thus a development application for improvements to the subject property (Block 0201) may be filed and reviewed independently as a stand-alone project, which does not require conditional use (CU) authorization for modification of the Golden Gateway Center PUD.
(7A) APPEAL NO. 03-051
KEN PAGE, VINCENT LEGER,
& BUENA VISTA PARK LLC, Appellant(s)
21 Buena Vista East Avenue.
Appealing the determination dated March 19, 2003, addressed to Andrew Zacks, that the subject property has a legal authorized use of 14 residential guest rooms and 1 dwelling unit, that residential guest rooms constitute “group housing” under § 209.2 of the Planning Code, that this group housing constitutes a permitted conditional use since it was established prior to the enactment of Conditional Use (CU) requirements for said use, and that this permitted conditional use shall be considered abandoned 3 years from the last legal date of residency of the last resident of said guest rooms. PUBLIC HEARING HELD SEPT. 24, 2003.
(7B) APPEAL NO. 03-066
ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, Respondent 21 Buena Vista East Avenue.
Appealing a determination dated April 24, 2003, addressed to Andrew Zacks, that the proposed physical modifications to various residential guest rooms at the subject property would result in less viable guest rooms and would constitute a partial conversion of the structure to single family-use from its current legal authorized use of 14 residential guest rooms and 1 dwelling unit, in violation of Planning Code.
PUBLIC HEARING HELD SEPT. 24, 2003.
