Here is your weekly roundup of upcoming hearings with Glen Park-related items, followed by legislation proposed by our District 8 Supervisor Jeff Sheehy* that will be heard next week:
Planning Department Zoning Variance Hearing, Wednesday, July 26, 9:30 a.m., City Hall, room 408. See supporting documents here.
- 015-008473VAR (SYLVIA JIMENEZ)
531 – 30TH STREET, Lot 020 in Assessor’s Block 6651 in a RH-2 (Residential House, Two Family) Zoning District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District.
REAR YARD VARIANCE SOUGHT: The proposal is to construct an approximately 640 gross square foot vertical addition above the existing nonconforming building.
SECTION 134 OF THE PLANNING CODE requires a rear yard of 56 feet 3 inches in depth. The project proposes to construct a vertical addition above the existing nonconforming building that is wholly within the required rear yard (within 3 feet 6 inches of the rear property line). Therefore, a variance is required.
ARCHITECTURAL PLANS: The site plan and elevations of the proposed project are available on the Planning Department’s website at: http://notice.sfplanning.org/2015-008473VAR.pdf.

*We started adding Sheehy legislation last week but left out the regular Board of Supervisors meeting itself. Doh! (It’s in a slightly different place than the committee hearing notices.) Neighbor Tom Borden had some thoughtful comments on Sheehy’s Dolores Park litter legislation that was considered then. You can read them by scrolling down to the comments on last week’s City Agency Hearings post.
