How it got here
The legislation originated from an appeal against the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration for the 570 Market Street project, which was prompted by concerns over potential environmental impacts.
The project sponsor filed an application for the proposed project at 570 Market Street.
The Planning Department issued a Preliminary Mitigated Negative Declaration (PMND), concluding that the project would not have a significant environmental impact.
Two appeals of the PMND were filed by Brian Flynn on behalf of BCal 44 Montgomery Property LLC and Edward Shaffer on behalf of CPH 564, LP.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing and denied the appeals of the PMND, affirming the decision to issue a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND).
The Planning Commission approved the Conditional Use Authorization and Downtown Project Authorization for the project.
The appellants filed separate appeals of the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration (FMND) issued on May 19, 2025.
A public hearing is scheduled for the Board of Supervisors to consider the appeals of the FMND.
