Planning Commission

Notice is hereby given to the general public that applications involving the properties and/or issues described below have been filed with the Planning Department for review as set forth in the City Planning Code. The Planning Commission intends to hold a PUBLIC HEARING on these items and on other matters on Thursday, July 25, 2024, beginning at 12:00 p.m. or later in City Hall, 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place, Room 400. Additional information may be found on the Department’s website.

2023-006616OFA: 199 FREMONT STREET – northeast corner of Fremont Street and Howard Street; Lot 018 in Assessor’s Block 3719 (District 6) - Request for modification of Office Allocation Motion No. 13218 (Planning Department Record No. 89.589B) pursuant to Planning Code Section 414.12 to remove an existing on-site childcare facility that was provided as part of an Office Allocation for an office development located at 300 Howard Street, now known as 199 Fremont Street within the DOWNTOWN- OFFICE (SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT) Zoning District and a 700-S-2 Height and Bulk District. That office development was approved by the Planning Commission on December 5, 1991, and the required on-site childcare facility located at 342 Howard Street began operating in 2000 and operated for approximately 21 years on site until 2021, when the operator of the childcare center voluntarily closed the location. Pursuant to Planning Code Section 414.12, the Project Sponsor may apply to the Planning Department to eliminate the childcare facility or to reduce the floor area of the childcare facility in any amount. As the childcare facility has been provided for more than 5 years after the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for the project, the Project is eligible to request the removal of the existing childcare facility. For further information, call Rebecca Salgado at 628-652-7332 or email at Rebecca.Salgado@sfgov.org and ask about Record No. 2023-006616OFA.
