* Items denoted with an asterisk (* ) can be given approval by the City

will make the final approval at a later date based on the outcome at the
public hearing.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Appeal Rights under Chapter
31 of the San Francisco Administrative Code: For Approval Actions, the
Planning Department has issued a CEQA exemption determination or
negative declaration, which may be viewed online at
http://www.sf-planning.org/index.aspx?page=3447. Following approval of
the item by the SFMTA City Traffic Engineer, the CEQA determination is
subject to appeal within the time frame specified in S.F.
Administrative Code Section 31.16, typically within 30 calendar days of
the Approval Action. For information on filing a CEQA appeal, contact
the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors at City Hall, 1 Dr. Carlton B.
Goodlett Place, Room 244, San Francisco, CA 94102, or call
(415) 554-5184. Under CEQA, in a later court challenge, a litigant may be
limited to raising only those issues previously raised at a hearing on the
project or in written correspondence delivered to the Board of Supervisors
or other City board, commission or department at, or prior to, such
hearing, or as part of the appeal hearing process on the CEQA decision.
Whether the City Traffic Engineer’s decision is considered a Final SFMTA
Decision is determined by Division II, Section 203 of the Transportation
Code. If the City Traffic Engineer approves a parking or traffic
modification, this decision is considered a Final SFMTA Decision. If a City
Traffic Engineer disapproves a parking or traffic modification and a member
of the public requests SFMTA review of that decision, the additional review
shall be conducted pursuant to Division II, Section 203 of the
Transportation Code. City Traffic Engineer decisions will be posted on
https://www.sfmta.com/committees/engineering-public-hearings by 5 p.m. on
the Friday following the public hearing. Final SFMTA Decisions involving
certain parking or traffic modifications, whether made by the City Traffic
Engineer or the SFMTA Board, can be reviewed by the Board of Supervisors
pursuant to Ordinance 127-18. Information about the review process can be
found at:
