Planning department environmental case coordinator Kei Zushi told the commission the draft EIR was published April 16 and the public review period runs through 5 p.m. June 2, 2025; written comments should be sent to Kei Zushi at 49 South Van Ness Avenue or cpc.sforadp@SFGOV.org. Zushi said the planning department expects to publish responses to comments in fall 2025 and then bring an EIR certification hearing \"shortly after.\" The hearing was explicitly limited to CEQA adequacy, accuracy and completeness; staff said no certification action was requested at this meeting.

The airport's environmental affairs manager, Audrey Park, described the RADP as a long-range, land-side plan to accommodate future passenger demand without changing SFO's runway configuration or flight paths, which she said are under FAA authority. Park highlighted representative projects including a new Boarding Area H with passenger boarding bridges and a secure corridor to reduce reliance on remote hardstand gates; a replacement central hub to integrate multimodal ground transportation and public parking; and a potential aircraft maintenance hangar. Park noted RADP projects would be funded by airport revenues and said SFO paid about $56 million in annual service payments in fiscal year 2024.

Planning staff summarized the draft EIR's findings: with mitigation, certain impacts (cultural resources, tribal cultural resources, air quality, noise and vibration, biological resources) would be less than significant; however, the draft EIR identified some operational air-quality impacts as significant and unavoidable for the proposed project. Staff described three CEQA alternatives analyzed (no-project; reduced development; and Boarding Area H only) and said those alternatives reduce or eliminate the significant operational air-quality impacts with additional mitigation.

Members of the public raised concerns about the draft EIR's scope and methodology. Resident Liz Lopez said the project will \"inevitably increase the amount of flight traffic, noise pollution, and chemical pollution\" and asked the city and SFO to disclose the larger pipeline of projects that could induce passenger demand. An unnamed resident urged the commission to modernize the EIR methodology, saying it used \"standards from the disco era\" and arguing international airport metrics and modern big-data analysis should be incorporated. Leo Martin, president of the Mothers Fathers Committee, Bayview Hunters Point, said his neighborhood already suffers high rates of pollution and cancer and that the project's cumulative impacts would worsen health harms.

Commissioner Brown said she appreciated the draft EIR's acknowledgement of significant and unavoidable air-pollution impacts and looks forward to reviewing responses to comments. Commissioner Imperial asked about tribal and historical resources mitigation and requested the department use the most recent traffic, pedestrian and circulation data available rather than relying on older graphs.

Kei Zushi and Audrey Park reiterated that comments made at the hearing would be transcribed, responded to in writing in the response-to-comments document, and that staff are not responding to substantive comment content live during this hearing. The commission accepted public testimony and closed the hearing portion of the item to begin its review and comment phase.

Written comments must be received by 5 p.m. June 2, 2025. The planning department anticipates publishing responses to comments in fall 2025 and returning to the commission for EIR certification thereafter.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of San Francisco - Video Open Video Only in Windows Media Player - May 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The San Francisco Planning Commission on May 22 opened a public hearing on the San Francisco International Airport's Recommended Airport Development Plan draft EIR, taking public comments on CEQA adequacy and outlining next steps for written submissions.","taxTitle","San Francisco City, San Francisco County, California","taxId",5751,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6541420,"Votes at a glance: continuances, minutes and consent calendar approved unanimously",189,246000,435000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3449116-09372447be37e8f43c41cfc98fcc6705&start=246&end=435","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3449116-09372447be37e8f43c41cfc98fcc6705/thumbnail_246000.jpg","/articles/6541420/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/Votes-at-a-glance-continuances-minutes-and-consent-calendar-approved-unanimously","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6541420-2ee26c2da4120d28541f4897ef3701af/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139719&Signature=KLkKe7M1ZFq7kafw01K3hFwsWoTjcZPe-glr~BMtvTr~-ogJTAz8hz6Kr6-lcML8Fr~UgVQsi3s3Vz6cQzegnBT95RT175lcSJBg5c3CEH0qqhzVYZdQo5fBSDI~msdqw8ZVzmJ5lLq02AXzpmjjDVcSQ6LE5sixun0ATAzofguu6zJbGqBw1SfHpdx0ZTg8Pe21~JDtCo5CLwCxPT5wEdEY~Gctat~sjfybcH-Vzlyha1zt8fORBli7phVR5lNqrtoTlMVAv6nYfzEzR24vQieEZcn3OaSDdUfhLxYkkCuLcFIswP~y2wsBl0E2c4wPCjSAM1NFuIRrI7RjI6JLjg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the May 22 meeting the San Francisco Planning Commission took several unanimous procedural votes.

Star said the proposed ordinance would eliminate retail use size limits and retail-ratio requirements for health services and reproductive health clinics within the MUO district, and that the commission previously recommended three modifications: add reproductive health clinics to the exemption, remove the retail-ratio requirement within the MUO, and limit exemptions to east of Seventh Street. The supervisor incorporated the reproductive-health-clinic recommendation and applied the retail-ratio removal east of Seventh Street; the ordinance was amended to eliminate use-size limits for health service and reproductive-health clinics within MUO east of Seventh. The land use committee continued the item to June 2 because supervisors considered the amendments substantive.

Star also reported on two appeals considered at the full Board of Supervisors for a project at 1310 (reported in the record as \"1310 Hanipero Sarah Boulevard\"), which sought to construct a maintenance facility on the grounds of the San Francisco Golf Course. Star summarized that the department found no legal basis to sustain the CEQA and conditional-use appeals, but that discussions between parties and Supervisor Melgar's office led to an applicant-appellant agreement with additional conditions (limits on construction activities, dust mitigation and an external alarm system). Because both appeals had been noticed, the board held a hearing and voted to amend the previous commission motion (denying conditional-use approval and adopting the negotiated additional requirements); the project as amended was approved by the board.

Star said the Planning Department previously continued the project multiple times for additional review; commissioners had visited the site and the department hosted meetings between the parties. He concluded his report by inviting questions from commissioners.","Planning Department legislative affairs staff summarized a proposed ordinance amending Mixed Use Office (MUO) district rules for health service uses and recapped a Board of Supervisors action on appeals for a maintenance facility project at 1310 (as reported).",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6541426,"North Beach project under SB 423: developers present three-family, large-unit design at 2125 Powell Street",661,2699000,3360000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3449116-09372447be37e8f43c41cfc98fcc6705&start=2699&end=3360","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3449116-09372447be37e8f43c41cfc98fcc6705/thumbnail_2699000.jpg","/articles/6541426/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/North-Beach-project-under-SB-423-developers-present-three-family-large-unit-design-at-2125-Powell-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6541426-d7f5972637fdea82bb4a6760df19ae16/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139719&Signature=ST5-j4oTyOL9mE1lSNZGgKt6iCdlQsGTktG4K~us4xScEFpOvWdyTx~szw6Y0uhxEd9LG2VV1QfvFkssDRPMlPsNGbd1u-SOrbsRD~SRUP31Utc8iJ9Ii1Euj0nF7KKqCIviqXhce5XAyWPoe4GsRoAKe0vu0bmCM5aL2RC2J~PVcy3v7q18rCbx2zK6otcGizpfGfPfWfL17czghiE6wj4RRjawN~0uuqy25~Me~bRHMrU05z199Z~iqtS4k7K5xYfH9z~Lphretahi-jCKbizduy~nPVzWda328A8bfSMdDTInAsWdjq7LhnwH55BQ6kkWgijJ7S1n0CWK4z4WbA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","John Goldman of Goldman Architects presented an SB 423 notice-of-intent informational package to the Planning Commission on May 22 for a project at 2125 Powell Street in the North Beach neighborhood.

Goldman said the proposal would replace an existing building that now houses a fencing club with a new building containing three \"large family units\" above a ground-floor commercial tenant and a garage. Each housing floor is described as three bedrooms plus a den (effectively configured as a four-bedroom scheme), with approximately 1,500 square feet per unit, private rear-yard access for the first-floor unit, roof decks for upper units, and a garage space intended for at least one dwelling. Goldman said the design requires excavating a few feet to provide higher commercial ceilings (about 11 feet) and a ramped entrance to provide wheelchair access to the commercial space.

Goldman said the project includes a limited-use, limited-access elevator, allowed for non‑ADA three-unit buildings, and that the developer considered alternate unit-count schemes (three, five and six units) but found larger schemes would require a fully accessible elevator (3,500-pound capacity) with substantially higher costs.

Commission Chair Moore and other commissioners uniformly praised the level of detail provided in the SB 423 presentation. Commissioner Moore called it a \"treat\" compared with other SB 423 submittals and said the project \"respects a lot of the norms\" in the area. Commissioner Brown said the proposal provided \"a very modest and reasonable approach to providing family housing\" in North Beach, noting the units are relatively compact but family-sized. Commissioner McGehee and Commissioner Burns echoed support, describing the project as a valuable opportunity to keep family-sized housing in North Beach.

Goldman concluded the five-minute presentation after showing drawings, floor plans and renderings. The commission closed public comment for the item and had no outstanding objections on the record.

Because this item was an SB 423 informational presentation, no formal commission vote was required at this hearing.","A project sponsor presented an SB 423 notice of intent for 2125 Powell Street in North Beach proposing three family-style units (each with multiple bedrooms) over ground-floor commercial space. Commissioners praised the design and family-sized units during an informational presentation.","actionData","errors"]
