The site, on the western side of Douglass Street, located approximately mid-block (Assessor's Block 2625, Lot 007A), is an irregular shaped parcel of 3,693 sq ft within the city block bounded by Douglass Street to the east, Ord Street to the west, and 17th Street to the south (Douglass Street dead ends at the northerly end of the block). The project site, located in the Upper Market neighborhood, is zoned RH-2 (Residential, House-Two Family) and is within a 40-X height and bulk district. (Appellants: Susan Detwiler on behalf of the owners of 62-68 Douglass Street.)

SPECIAL ORDER 4:30 P.M.

51. 061099 [Public Hearing - Appeal of Categorical Exemption from Environmental Review for 368-370 Lombard Street/20-24A Julius Street]
Hearing of persons interested in or objecting to the decision of the Planning Department dated June 27, 2006 (Case No. 2006.0362E), exempting from environmental review under General Rule Exclusion [State Guidelines, Sections 15061(b)(3)] and Case File 1997.304E, the proposed project involving the subdivision of a single 3,250 square-foot (sf), L-shaped lot with frontages on Lombard and Julius Streets into two lots, one fronting each street. The proposed project lot with frontage on Julius Street would be 1,040 square-feet (sf) in size, and the proposed lot with frontage on Lombard Street would be 2,210 square-feet (sf) in size. The Lombard Street lot would contain an existing single-family residential building and existing two-unit building and the Julius Street lot would contain an existing two-unit residential building. No construction is proposed. The site is in RH-3 (Residential, House; Three-Family) zoning district, and the 40-X height and bulk district. The proposed lots at 1,040 square feet and 2,210 square feet in size would contain less than the minimum lot area required in the RH-3 zoning district, and would therefore, require a variance from the Planning Code's minimum lot area. Both of the proposed lots would also be deficient and require a variance for the minimum rear yard and usable open space requirements set forth in the Planning Code Sections 134(a)(2) and 135(d) respectively. The proposed lot division would require a subdivision permit from the Department of Public Works. (Appellant: Vedica Puri on behalf of Telegraph Hill Dwellers.)
