Pacifica Planning Commissioners Bids Farewell, Welcomes New Staff

The Pacifica Planning Commission's Jan. 20 meeting clocked in at just 16 minutes — possibly a record, as Chair Samantha Hauser noted — but the brief session carried meaningful signals about turnover on the dais and two development projects heading to City Council next month.

  • Commissioner Daniella Devine resigns, creating a partial-term vacancy on the seven-member commission

  • New Deputy Director Michael Christensen joins the Community Development Department after a decade with San Francisco

  • Bayview Calera appeal heads to City Council on Feb. 9; 650 Cape Breton rescheduled to Feb. 23

  • Coastal zone lot split approved on consent under state law, 4-0

  • City Council meetings now begin at 6 p.m., a scheduling change staff flagged for commissioners

Community Development Director Samantha Updegrave announced that Commissioner Daniella Devine resigned from the Planning Commission for personal reasons, effective Jan. 15.
