Here is the info I found online regarding the CEQA process the SF Planning Commission has to approve:

http://www.sfgov.org/site/uploadedfiles/planning/2008.0081E_950_Mason_NOP.pdf (the second link is 50 pages and takes a while to load; if you compare the proposed East-West Section with the Existing East-West Section you see there is no Tonga Room in the proposal).

Send an email TODAY (deadline is Feb 20) to: [email protected] urging the Planning Dept to not approve the project unless the historic Tonga Room is specifically included in the retention of the historic Hotel building. Also at 415-575-9051.

Written comments should be cc'd by mail to Bill Wycko, Environmental Review Officer, or SF Planning Dept, 16560 Mission St Suite 400, SF, CA 94103-2479. (Email [email protected])

You can also call the Project Sponsor, Fairmont Hotel Company at 310-966-2370 or [email protected] or [email protected]. Mail address: 220 MONTGOMERY STREET, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94104.

If you know anyone in the Bay Area newspaper or tv news biz, it would be good to contact them too.
