street landscape plan we've ringed the student with roughly 18 inches ordinance all sides in keeping with the pedestrian friendly project we have 6 stoops all around the project on all four sides that have an entrance from the floor this activates the street. we have the common courtyards in the mid and pedestrian assess. you can be walking down the sidewalk and see the gate to the courtyards it hold this barbecue and all kind of plantings >> the next slide is about our

roof-deck we've removed from the project so i won't talk about that. briefly this is a basement plan to show you where the cars come in and out where the red arrows are. the active part in the lower right immediately a commercial area we counted add for some of the neighborhood outreach and we have the lobbies for the project and to the resident unit on that street. the next slide is illustrating a view of the black and white image and our project features high quality materials a cladding system and aluminum windows it's very rich palate of

materials at the ground floor you can see the light the small reach out commercial area. and the next slide this is a view the real 22nd street master program that comes up 22nd street that culminates at the end of our project with bulb outs and you'll see the podium access we're talking about but it's nice to see we worked with staff to break down the building into 35 pieces in keeping with the santa fe san francisco pattern of development with smaller lots instead of mass of building we've zoomed in on the corner to see the retail a lot of folks from caltrain get off

and supplied right or left we have nice lighting around the project to make it safe and at the ground floor the project has activated public uses. you can see on the lowest does the courtyard so you see did pronounced is set and designed you can move in and out of the courtyard onto the public sidewalks and see two stoop units the green set back and the private stoop and the project above plenty of beige >> and this i'll utility this sighed looking down trying to lulth this to step down the hill and be roughly in keeping with

additional public comment? >> good morning. i'm john morris i live immediately across the street kitty corner i've recently found outful about this information an environmental report mailed to my house. my years maybe tainted i stand in opposition is monthly because this building is way two large they're asking for exemptions and those exemptions are being asked for because the building is way too large it's about two to thirty percent from any calculation longer than the area is zoned for. so it's just incongruous

reimburse with the nature of the neighborhood mostly single-family homes i know my sunlight is going to be blocked i've experienced this on the other side of the street particularly during the winter i lost light its way too large and high. the other concern is the parking issue whether looking for exemptions for off-street parking. according to the calculations in this planning statement here it is about 50 percent shortfall of the off-street parking it mentioned 30 off-street parking and they're providing 55 to 66 parking spaces we're short on parking it's a fight i have many

people parking in my derivative i'm late to work because i'm calling someone so there's already a big problem with street parking. so if this gets cemented look at that issue and make them provide more off-street parking. and the noise and pollution that a lot of noise from the others units partying and dropping trash if not the self-same of single-family home neighborhood but they're on the edge of single-family homes and it's not the nature of the neighborhood thank you. >> thank you.

>> sue hester. i have i hope a non-controversial proposal i ask am bringing this up last week. i asked on page 34 you add another condition and this is that the project shall not be counted as producing housing under the goal of the city to reduce thirty thousand new units of housing unless there's a cc&r imposed on the project guiding every condo ownership that prohibits the association rules and it also biennials the owner in terms of any rental a that's

happened before condos are sold. there is an absolute approximate on rentals because unless you have a set right near a you countering station how attractive will that be to people using it as a short time rental. a lot of the plays that are initially occupied as condolence people move on and they decide they're to rent it out on an monthly basis the condition is that the planning commission you development a really binding condition and everyone who is coming in for a large project like this one last a condition that it can't be converted to

short term rental that has to be remaining as a primary residence and housing for people in the city no tourists please incorporate that true mark should be happy to have a resolution like that a condition because their building housing aren't they and if their building housing they want to keep it as housing thank you very much >> thank you. is there any additional public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner moore. >> the communities voices in support of the project and varies or varying it hard to not repeat many of them. i think the project deals with the difficult side and the most exceptional way it is not just

the trap sdold shape of tezoida

project. the unit is interesting having motives to 3 bedroom units but maintaining oversight affordable we want to introduce a mixed neighborhood by the tone for the social intent of the transformation we want to see here. i'd like to take one second and comment on the mr. hester's comment of adding a condition i do not believe i think we need this city attorney's advise normally we're not allowed to condition projects with intents to a large stent but can't do

that await guidance. i support it but we're in the mid of a project i would support it as an idea but in no position to incorporate it even into the discussion here today. the city attorney is stepping in and will probably remind me of what i can and can't say. going on i think the engagement with labor employment including the selma pathway project is remarkable it attracts as an attitude it reflects itself in locates that are far away from the selma project is actually located. i'm interested in the

realization of the green trust i think it creates a remarkable project and i'm in full support of that. i have one suggestion. if the architect or true mark will come up to the podium i'll appreciate that. on your drawing this is this is an architecture question if i may. but it's also an owners question. (laughter) on your drawings 83 point zero under our materials suggestion item 15 there is a ambiguity i want to see not being interesting there are you're talking about aluminum until our

exterior of all systems i'd like to ask that aluminum windows do not get cost into this when the rubber hits the numbers we'll be able to maintain aluminum windows rather than vanilla windows their inappropriate for this building type and ultimately don't deliver the quality while i support the project will be embedded by. is that something you'll be comfortable with >> i think we can but i'd like to take about 30 seconds to say the new energy codes we've found some of the energy folks say the windows don't meet the high standards but we can admit to do that. in addition some of the windows

manufacturers we're not talking about the one we're thinking about but we find vanilla windows are steel wrapped in vanilla and manufacturers can't make them it's only achieving a design goal but we'll say yes to our aluminum windows >> there's a reason that village starts to change color and that completely alters the consistent of the building. i know your pal system s are using a high system i'll be concerned we're staying on target the best we can given the
