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:
