Use Permit with Public Hearing: 841 Folger Avenue

The City of Berkeley is seeking public input on a use permit for the demolition of a 5,903 square foot commercial building located at 841 Folger Avenue, previously used as an office space with a maximum height of 19 feet 10 inches, to make way for a new parking lot containing 18 exclusive spaces within the MU-LI zoning district. The project involves complete removal of the existing structure and site preparation to convert the area into a paved parking facility intended for private, in-house use only. This action requires formal approval through a public hearing process managed by the city’s planning division. The proposal is part of ongoing land use adjustments in the area to better accommodate parking needs consistent with local zoning regulations. All correspondence and inquiries regarding this permit application should be directed to Boshi Fu, Assistant Planner at the City of Berkeley, via email at bfu@berkeleyca.gov or phone at 510-981-7544. The applicant, Joe Regoli, can also be reached at 925-250-5215. The public notice was posted on August 4, 2026, and the project is accessible through the city’s CEQA net portal using the reference number 2026080044. No solicitation number or NAICS code has been assigned, as this is a land use permit application rather than a procurement action. The project site is located in Berkeley, California, with a zip code of 94710, and no additional agency or organizational details beyond the City of Berkeley are relevant to the application.
