Meeting Information

At this time, members of the public may address the Board on items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board except agenda items.  With respect to agenda items, your opportunity to address the Board will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting with one exception.

Subject property at 4201-4211 Judah Street.  Letter from Andrew Zacks, attorney for Bhazubai Patel, Appellant, requesting rehearing of Appeal No(s). 97-165, Patel vs. ZA, decided Feb. 18, 1998.  Upon motion by Commissioner Salgado, the Board voted 1-4 (President Cullum, Vice President McInerney, Commissioner Chin and Commissioner Schwartz dissented) to uphold the subject determination.  Two votes are needed to uphold a departmental action, and thus the motion failed.  Afterwards, upon motion by Commissioner Schwartz, the Board voted 3-2 (President Cullum and Commissioner Salgado dissented) to overrule the subject determination.  Four votes being necessary to overturn any departmental action, the motion failed, and thus the subject determination was upheld.  Then, on April 1, 1998, the Board considered the request for rehearing by the appellant.  At that time, upon motion by Commissioner Salgado, the Board voted 2-3 (Vice President McInerney, Commissioner Chin and Commissioner Schwartz dissented) to deny the request for rehearing.  Afterwards, upon motion by Vice President McInerney, the Board voted 3-2 to continue the matter to await action by the Superior Court.  Note: This matter was returned to the Call of the Chair at the request of both parties in October, 2002.
