we're creating an opportunity for the building to increase air and light from the windows. it's a nice public space there. there's no art required in the district but art is an important part of the culture so you see the type of art we imagine visually seeing. the working place is about 35 thousand square feet and we'll put the mechanic space across the street and this is the level that has the terraced. the facade is primarily brick without the windows. with a highly tuned exterior skin for thermal comfort.

by having that side core building we're able to hold the mechanical system further away to the north and east. you can see from the grade it would be difficult to see the screening. we're required to screen all equipment on the roof, of course. and the other two facades of the building the upper left and the stanfo stanfo stanford. we created an "x" particular building that will produce clean energy. it's heavily going to be taking

advantage of the transit terminals in the neighborhood. we are going to optimum car share and provided twice harassing as many bicycle spaces as called for. the skin is a very good place to have an office. kilroy is creating a long term vail for themselves and the city and thank you very much >> thank you. >> so we've got a couple of minutes left to respond to the questions and we'll do that. >> we'll open it up four public comment. there's public comment on this item. we have some speaker cards. (calling names)

>> thank you very much commissioners. i am a 13 year resident of the neighborhood that this project will go in. i go in a building on 5 62nd street and our residents we're about 50 residents use stanford street on a daily business where we egress. there's some concerns. the first part it the variance for the garage which is located pretty much half of our windows will offer look this garage. the project sponsors want it to be enlarged to accommodate large trucks. in order to accommodate

playground trucks the planning commission has recommend that parking on stanford street be removed. some years ago we asked the mta to designate stanford street as neighborhood zoned parking. we have very little wide parking. that is the smallest zone in the entire city. our neighborhood has parking rates that are now public parking rates of $7 an hour. that number will increase when i suspect we covet whatever parking we need it allows us to have parking to have our children invite and this project

we're being asked to approve is to remove 85 feet of that which under our analysis is almost all of the parking zoning. we are troubled but the environmental impact assessment to learn and i'll show you this. when the analysis was done - i don't know if i can project it. the analysis said there was no neighborhood zone parking. and out right false statement. now i don't know if that was intentional but it seems like when a sponsor stepped forward it ousted it to have adequate

information. this is the two hundred feet face of this project. that it ought to be accurate. thank you >> thank you. >> john and (calling names). >> mr. secretary would you, please describe those. this is a project that we could support if it made modifications to directly address the dead zone impact of office buildings we talked about last week with you. the existing office building are deadly. they don't have to be if way and with the limited number of modifications could be a positive addition to the future south serve market peculiar it's to add a small micro space on

the additional. why? because the alleys have tremors potential for the south of marketing both commercial and residential. and to make them places that people want to go you need small retail. yes. the developer would lose 1 thousand squeegee of office. it's the last very last foot they can afford that space for the sake of our neighborhood. if they propose one it should be additional use. the vague of retail is that a small business can reasonable finance it. small businesses couldn't afford $5,000 investment.

the developer should add parking both on brandon and the alley to make up for the open space that's going to be public. the park let's should tremorly improve the area. if the driveways with the adjacent buildings can be merged. and last but not least in the past when a major rezoning the commission would require developers to commit to comply with new regulations as part of that rezoning and in this case, the district requirements perhaps where they need to install solar energy on the roof and parking regulations to limit

single commute parking and native habitat and other requirement and last but not least public art program requirements as they noted there is none. this project has no guidelines for public art. thank you >> mr. secretary has a handout. hello, i'm mr. looeven. i want you to make the approve contestant on the provisions of the side of the building. this would make an ideal spot of 4 to 5 hundred squeegee and would enhance activity on the

alley. the tack could group is invento inventorying and those provided a truly outside service for this community. i want to highlight what they provided and why their inclusion in new office projects is singularly. first a small footprint makes it possible to carry out the neighborhood businesses. second at 5 hundred to 1,000 squeegee the space for mick businesses are two small and they chip away and it would be

unforgiveable. and have third the create spaces for diverse character rich places. and finally and critically they provided excellent tree level for long-term community for immigrant and our lgbt and our enterprises. those handouts are for the neighborhood enhancement and the next time of alleyways to add to its neighborhoods the importance of stanford alley has to be considered. so i urge you to make those improvements. so it would add to the neighborhood skill amenities and

add to the character and provided a realistic opportunity at the same time provided an opportunity to enhance the alleyways that could be considered part of the corridor plan. thank you >> thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm sonya. i'm the community advocate for an organization and i live a block and a half away. i'm he concerned about formula retail spaces that would totally change the feel of the neighborhood and the open space and how it's treated pr there is south park there but more open space is better especially in office buildings that are dead zones and during the weekends

it's a dead zone so open space and good open space is required. along with the other proposed office buildings especially along brandon street i think this would be a model proximately and others projects south of marketing. thank you very much for your time >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm sue. i'm involved with the eastern neighborhoods plan amendment right now because i'm involved with warriors project.

one of the things you have to acknowledge is this plan is exempt because the eastern neighborhoods plan met with certified on 2008. the arena project had a scoping notice of december 2012 more than four years later that's what's up here. and this project involves amendment the eastern zoning plan. it is to be by changing the formula of this site commercial - excuse me. residential to commercial. and they're looking at for an amendment to the eastern neighborhood plans among other things. how do you get an examinations from this project or any other

projects when the eastern plan is at issue big time right now. what i am submitting here is the hospital in of hearing. what i'm giving to the file is the entire scoping document and it says the transportation is going to be changed. that's an issue. second street is how you get around to the arena and other boulevards so if transportation in this area it up in the air because of the eir how is that - how it that exception. you have it was given toy while

ago. those are all projects 345 brandon and 33 brandon. 665 third street and 410 toun at the end and on the other side we have 598 brandon and 501 and 610 brandon and 77 federal street. those are all in the same area. they all accuse use the same transit system. so how do you get from a 2008 eir and a scoping document from december to this project? thank you >> there imply additional public comment? okay public comment is closed. commissioner >> i think this is an excellent

project i'll tell you some of the reasons why i do have some questions but first it's perfect the knowledge sector area and the board plates it's creating are ideal for this city. and the bay windows will help with the class a business type it's trying to build. i think we've talked about the parking what's lout and a lot of it is car share. some of it we'll deal with accessibility issues there's parking for retail and it's not within what's allowed. i really appreciate the

confidence and in addition to the pack come cast is in that area, too, and they do all the broadcasts out of there. we talked about the environmental parts of this project. i really like the brick and timer look it rims me of the new building like cbs. one of the best examples of contemporary art is the architecture around it. i have some questions for the project sponsor. >> okay. the first question is i understood this was - this project exceeded the open space but there's calls for more public open space hi. >> there was a comment from

john. we've had two meetings with john to reduce the public open space. i think he's now convinced we're providing all the open space one would want to see >> so you're saying the project exceeds the open space. okay. that answers my question on that one. the other question there was comment by the architect as to the stanford alley and to put any kind of retail on there. it looks like you've got an entrance driver's license and the other is the change of grade if you use the part of the alley it will include the lower level >> i understand the comments that came from some of the people that spoke to you. sanford alley is not part of the

alley and there's a lot of conversations and publicity about retail spaces that remain empty. so that's one concern. the other is physical because of the grade change in order to put any retail no matter the size on either side of that area that patio type area we would have to impact two floors. and that's our light that's the light we get into the floors behind so 43 if we remove any of that we're going to greatly impact the use ability of those spaces. we've spent a lot of time talking about this. we want to be good neighbors.

we'll expect to meet with another lady she's not here. but we thought about potentially a food truck where we provided all of the hookups and things along stanford alley and accommodate a food truck and put this food trucks when the street is active like ball games. i'm not telling you we're going to do that but examining is possibility. the retail design right now comes almost all the way across brandon but doesn't reach stanford. we're bringing the retail all the way across to meet stanford

so we have some space. it doesn't have to be one retail so we could have is a smaller retailer on the corner. >> i agree with with that and it sounds like you could expand that retail perhaps one of the spaces could be in keeping with the western area. >> we've talked about the park. we're willing to examine park let's. we'd be happy to do that >> okay. and the other issue that was brought up was the access into our garage. now someone may have miss stated it was only 20 foot >> it's 25. >> is it 25? >> it's 25 if you read the whole transportation report.

we don't want trucks having to cue on standing for the record and in order to make a turn in a narrow alley it's not a varngs but an exception. it's just going to work better those trucks won't have to do a 2 point turn to get into the garage. there was some conversations about standing for the record 2 hundred and 25 square footage. we're hoping to make up for this by providing 5 car spaces those are public car share spaces but - >> you saying many of the

parking will remain? >> yes. >> those were any main questions i mean you have some good landscaping. it doesn't have to be native plants or anything and the art you've spoken to. i think you've answered my questions it sounds like you've included flexibility so thank you >> thank you. >> commissioner borden. >> i want to follow up on some of those items and i want to ask staff about the planning codes department related to the parking. i'm not familiar with what those say >> i think. >> i think what you're

referring to before the eastern neighborhood plan was adopted and we had the codes provisions in hand you were asking the provisions to come as closed to those proposed at that point. we don't know what they're proposing yet so it's hard to know what we'd ask for at this point. but in the past when we knew with the plan was but at this point we don't know >> they're seeking lead code status so they have some sustainability codes. >> i think that answers though i guess i like the ideas of expand the retail space on the stanford side. i do have concerns whether it

alley being closer to the entrance you know, i think in the long-term i would love it and maybe that space would be the 4 hundred to 5 hundred square footage space. another thing about the retail space tenants could see that open on weekends. so tenants could be open 6 days a week. i understand that the project sponsor is fine with the former retail which we definitely will support. in terms of the park let. the park let's i don't know if the staff has a comment about park let's and i don't know what's the width of stanford? >> i don't know if he were specifically talking about

stanford. >> 12 hundred because it's the right-of-way. it's a different process there's a process for approving park let's >> it's not something we could put in the - >> presumably ask for the specifics of the park let's. >> and there's a question about merging the garages between the projects next door could you speak about that. >> good afternoon, commissioners. the question about loading into the garage ever 45 brandon >> no, the issue could you move it closer to the other buildings? >> we worked closely with sfmta

but that the trucks could access the garage and through the transportation study we have a turning radius analysis that 85 feet would voluntary it be removed on stanford street. it's not the intention to have all the parking lot removed on stanford that's 4 spaces. >> well, i'm actually very supportive of the project. i think with those enhancements we've discussed. it's one of the better office projects. it's more responsive to the context in which it sits in. the brick and the open spaces that are contemplated are in

good form. i move to approve. i see other people who want to speak so i'll wait >> commissioner. >> i agree with a lot of the comments. i think that the building is well designed. i think this kind of no such on stanford and brandon but fundamentally it may not work well, as a onychoid out spoois space so i like the idea of bringing that retail you space to santa for the record first year i know the retail space is deeper over to the west maybe even expanding it favorite toward the ballpark to get a little bit more space to get separate retail space because it's not very deep. but i'm very supportive of the

formula retail. i think the area is becoming an interesting corridor and the project on third street. in park let's i don't think you can do a park let on the other side but i'd encourage a park let on brandon street with the right retail ends up on there. the open space again, i like the entry open space by i mean is that designed or having is there an ability to tweak that to - does that function as an open space i i guess it's open
