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 Zoning Administrator intends to hold a PUBLIC HEARING on these items and on other matters on Wednesday, August 24, 2022, beginning at 9:30 a.m. or later. Please be advised that due to the COVID-19 emergency, the Zoning Administrator may conduct this hearing remotely using videoconferencing technology or in-person at City Hall.

2022-001562VAR (CHRIS WENDT) 11 WRIGHT STREET, Lot 016 in Block 5532, in an RH-1 Zoning District, Bernal Heights SUD, and a 40-X Height and Bulk District:  REAR YARD AND MASS REDUCTION:  The proposal is to construct a two-story horizontal addition to an existing three-story single-family building with a new second-floor rear deck and new connecting stairs to the rear yard. PLANNING CODE SECTION 242(e)(2) requires the subject property to maintain a rear yard no deeper than 45.5 feet measured from the front property line for buildings on lots zoned RH-1 with a depth greater than 70 feet. A portion of the building already obstructs into the required rear yard, and the project would construct a horizontal addition within the required rear yard. Therefore, the project requires a variance. PLANNING CODE SECTION 242(e)(3) requires the subject property to leave unbuilt a total of 650 square feet of usable floor area from the permitted building envelope. The project proposes to leave only 255 square feet of usable floor area unbuilt. Therefore, the project requires a variance.

2021-009735VAR (JEFFREY SPEIRS) 260 CRESTLAKE DRIVE, Lot 035 in Block 2499A, in an RH-1 (D) Zoning District, and a 40-X Height and Bulk District:  REAR YARD:  The proposal is to construct a two-story horizontal addition to an existing two-story single-family building with a new second-floor rear deck and new connecting stairs to the rear yard. PLANNING CODE SECTION 134 requires the subject property to maintain a rear yard of 21 feet measured from the rear property line for buildings on lots zoned RH-1(D). A portion of the building already obstructs into the required rear yard, and the project would construct a horizontal and vertical addition within the required rear yard. Therefore, the project requires a variance.

It is strongly recommended that persons submit their comments in writing in advance of the hearing. Written comments may be submitted via email directly to the case planner.
