building that's been 1 hundred percent lease to sales force and seven hundred and 40 thousand feet and that plaza been redone as well. and anybody knows this is a tremendous improvement. i'll remember who's in there on a break. 333 brandon is exactly the building that the eastern neighborhoods called for the architects were called to look at that and you essentially suggested in 2345089 when eastern neighborhoods was adopted. in the last couple of weeks we've had our first comments from john who's here and i'm not sure he'll be up here talking about his issues and concerns.

i don't characterize them as opposition by as an effort to modify the building for purchases heel describe by in showing you the building we've ask our architect to address some of the issues ahead of time. i'm going to turn it over to my colleague. we're all here the earners and architects to answer questions >> thank you jim and welcoming welcome back from lunch. thank you very much to the commission. and i'm thanking you for working with us. our gratitude for the staff. and thank you to kilroy reality who was which one this project to create an "x" last year

project. kilroy has been in my practice we think of ourselves as a leader but kilroy has been a leader in front of the lead they care about the environment. as a matter of fact they were recognized recently because the energy star protocol that they manage has an overall rating of 55, 50 being the average perform and 75 being good. i want to thank the entire team. they'll put together an incredible team. and i'll go through that. the building really recognize its place. wow. that's red.

that's a little bit more red. the building really recognize the neighborhood and the brick character. what kilroy seeks to do a building that is context. they own the building to the left and are collaborating with the building on the right to mix this together and to heal that part of the neighborhood that's simply a parking lot. it was also expressed there's one of the interpretations of the bay window is on the corner of the project shows the bay window turning the corner in a san francisco way. the site was identified as occupied under utilized by some

buildings this serve at&t and it's a parking lot currently and popular it has an internal property line that wraps around the south and west side. this interior property line a little bit more clear in our package is a limits the opportunity for glagz. we're anticipating a window agreement with the 55 property owner to the bottom of the drawing that will allow us to get additional windows on the right-hand side. the open space - so this is the same plan showing the roof. the occupied roof space is in yellow and there will be a

garden on the roof space to increase habitats for butter flies in the city and to gather rainwater. the two educational gardens are on the ground floor on brandon street. we exceed the requirements on those spaces alone. their functioning at grade. the court yard will be part of the sequence. the site slopes 7 feet approximately from brandon street down to stanford street with that p a 65 feet limit of being efficient with our loading dock but craft lee fully putting

in an english basement. it benefits from that court yard from the lottery level up to the sky to get daylight deep into that plan. so that slopes makes it a split-level building on stanford street. so on brandon street we have 7 foot retail space colored yellow on the gene and further back we're a split-level so the grade goes from high to low. one of the innovations that was put forward is would we put retail on stanford street but it would be challenging for the retail but we'd lose twice the amount of space because it would top two floors. we think that brandon is a great

opportunity for retail and a stanford we've optimized for room and it would be challenging to insert a space there that would be assessable from the sidewalk. as asked for in the eastern neighborhood there is vital it and life. we have a place for parking benches and is retail is in back of that. this plan shows the terrace level with that open space in green and then the open space on brandon in green and the current location on yellow that

activates that court yard it's about enough space for a small retail or restaurants. we anticipate food service so we're going to accommodate egresses hoods. the brandon street court yard is seen as a way to enter the building quietly. 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 in
