demolish the house and building build two family units it's each unit will be 4 bedrooms exceeding the required open space that the bottom level is a basement level with 4 car parking and the main level of the lower unit is on the rear yard and the top to stories are the second unit with decks on the front and rear of the top author that's the third-story it is a basement on the lower level we had our preapplication meeting last spring two neighbors come out and one of the neighbors who lives in the building next door had some concerns about loss of private properties privacy with the rear deck we revised our proposal to

move the deck over a if you feet he said okay. that looks at great and no opposition to the project since then we've heard from one other neighbor that's here to speak as well we hope you support the project as is thank you for your time >> thank you opening it up for public comment. >> hello house is everybody. >> sir, that this is public utilities on the conditional use at 17th avenue. >> is there anyone to speak on 228, 17th avenue okay public comment is closed. >> commissioner antonini. >> you look at what's existing there a garbage in the front and a small single-family unit in

the back with a total of 2 bedrooms increased from 8 and perfect for families because people with two or three children h have the need to use multiple bathrooms i can tell you from experiences it is a good feature and there's an adequate life without parole of parking it is well-designed so i'll move to approve. >> second. >> on that motion commissioners to are not to take conditional use and approve a commissioner antonini commissioner johnson commissioner hillis commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner fong and commissioner president wu so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero and places you on item 14

at 590 page street a request for discretionary review. >> good evening of any person(s) responsible for the ringing or use of a arrest the item before you is a request for discretionary review the proposed project includes the don't guess of 2 thousand square feet started in 1992 and the construction of two residential buildings totally 12 units the four buildings will be 4 stories in height with off-street spaces and bicycle spaces the project clouds one on site affordable housing in the planning code section the four buildings will include the foreman from 54 hundred to 59 hundred square feet with a

maximum height of - 13 to 15 hundred square feet and all will have 3 bedrooms. >> the proposal includes the subdivision of 4 lots and in the rh1 zoning per lot are permit it is locked on the northwest corner contains a third-story over garage space and giant property with a 4 story building today, the gunpoint has received letters and exchanged phone call the dr requester is an owner on 8 street the dr concern is loss of light to the dr and adjacent unit and noise from the rooftop

and lack of privacy from the proved rooftop the proposed requester lives on the top and loss of access to entrance to the dr buildings the project was reviewed and found out if you do that the proposed project neatest e meets the guidelines and that the project does not present my extraordinary satiations regarding the light assess it is accurately proposed for all upper levels along the eastern property shared line regarding the noise and privacy the proposed project is not invading the privacy and given the upper project the impact of the privacy of the adjacent

neighbors and the noise are not out of the ordinary regarding neighborhood building the potential character on the block is mixed the proposed massing and block is in character regarding the exterior the dr property is set back 3 feet and the access to the exterior is still okay therefore recommended the planning commission not take discretionary review is meets all the requirements of the planning code and it consistent with the remain guidelines and the project will create 12 dwelling units one with 3 bedrooms with the affordable housing requirements and the project will be consistent with the size and density of the

neighborhood and is in appropriate and it will not be exceptional public works i'm happy to answer any questions. >> dr requester our team has 5 minutes. >> good afternoon, commissioners and wanting i'm the dr in principle we have to outlooks we question in usage from the church to residential rather we are objecting to the proposal i am not an aukt architect but want to put it in context i

disagree because the compatibility with the exception of one obtain this on and on building on the income tax 0 they're capable and sizings no proportions including the size and spacing looking at the design guidelines page 15 for side spacing we're expect the pattern the side facing the one the adjacent building projects must respect the spacing now in the dr full analysis page six the collect list the site design it says night to the applicable i don't understand how it every building as signed positioning so it didn't respect that and the

foitsz lot 14, 12 and 11 the side spacing between the building by design the project ignores the guidelines and the impacts object the building number one loss of light number 2 encroaching the waters waste and furtherance the planning code 101 that is not providing - i believe this development didn't do that and again looking at the check list in the report from our department the design principle of building scale and form to be comparable with that thought surrounding building in order to preserve the neighborhood character again, the stop sign is can you think

tig building so as a whole to scale it's not comparable with the rest of the building on the block looking at the design with a review check list i notice a couple errors i suggest the recommendations from our department not to do a dr not to be reviewed the buildings on the block are 3 to 5 buildings in height that's not correct their 3 to 5 in height and it meets all applicable guidelines and consistent with the guidelines that's not correct the side spacing is not in place does the location to building respect the pattern to storm drains no, it doesn't 3 entrances on the left and one on

the right not consistent does the parliament of the curb accommodate the spacing no, it doesn't and which means the street parking is limited not only to things coming in the neighborhood to shop but to socialize again on the building forum is it capable now if it were a single unit i building it isn't the issue of the number of units available and the fact that one could be below market value rent it's not a discussion around the discretionary review in terms of what the guidelines say i don't know that project actively follows the guidelines and you are respectfully request

that you review your departments finding review the clerk his and based on that you go forward and have a discretionary review on this process. >> thank you. >> are there members of the public in support of the dr? okay. seeing none project sponsor - oh, >> hi, i'm chris i'm also a resident of the building next door to the proposed construction site i'm really reiterating what was just said the property that are being build the new construction will not be ♪ resign are with the properties on the north side of the street i'm concerned about light as

well although slightly lower property condo not on the top floor and the difference in concern about the construction 189 most construction on the site so reiterating what michelle has said concerned about it not matching the rest of the block as far as the spacing between the building and the light and assess on the side of our building >> thank you okay project sponsor your team minutes. >> good afternoon commissioner president wu and commissioners march rubbing benefit and rose on behalf of the project sponsor page stein before we get both

the details i want to introduce the project sponsor to you the project sponsor is a partnership between victor quan and ilene eileen lives across stein street from the project site so she has a very strong interest in making sure this is a project that the neighborhood not only supports she looked out the project site and lives with her family and wants to be sure this a project the neighborhood supports i've chosen green the vast majority of neighborhood supports the project in fact, the only building where anyone is opposing the project is the

dr requester list before i introduce gary the architect to describe some of the building design details i want to briefly respond to the point the dr requester raised about the being built to the side lot lines being incompatible with the neighborhood context as planning staff discussed in their staff report it's a mixed use context particularly when it comes to being built to the side lot lines if we can go back to the overhead as you can see as you can see along page street right here there it is assembling built entirely to the side lot lion on steiner street and fillmore street with the exception of the gap right here

it's built to the entire lot line this is a mixed neighborhood objections they've made recommendation we match some of the light well and the light well covers the

distance to the property to the east subsequentially brown prior to the dr being filed we had a meeting with the dr requester he made requests for changes on the building as you can see here basically, there's an eastern light well here and in red was is in my september letter where the light well, was expanded by 3 and a half inches to match the corner of the dr light well when we first met with the staff and had numerous meetings on design our set back is 3 feet and the existing light well on the dr building there's 6 foot between the building their existing light wells meets the garage as

ours do good we've made changes on the roof-deck we had to put enough - so we moved the roof-deck to the opposite side of the roof to make it as much privacy here and agreed to paint the light well, a bright light color and no windows along this face here facing that dr requesters light well, we have one that in the kitchen and the last item he mentioned fireplace things we've removed the fireplaces in all 3 units if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them. >> thank you okay opening inform those in support of the project

janet and steven and jeremy. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is janet bourgeoisie i've lived in neighborhoods for 16 years and i approve of that project it will champions the neighborhood to no end thank you very much >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm steven i have lived in the lower hate for 10 years i'm a resident at the corner of page and fillmore street district across is in the proposed building site and i have followed the plans i've attended a community meeting i was allowed to review the written plans of the proposed building

and read articles on the lower hate blog following the project and seeing the changes it very much fits with the neighborhood that will be an excellent edition to page street i know the project sponsor as a member of the community and who has raised a family and very concerned with preserving the character of the neighborhood thank you. >> thank you hi jeremy i live two blocks away from this project i'm excited to see not a vacant lot but from the looks at of it it is a parking lot above the church we need to get this done. >> is there any public comment?

dr requester you have a 2 minute rebuttal. >> i'd like to first comment on the attorneys point will the side spacing again reading from the r d g practice writing page 7 comparable with the neighborhood character he was pointing out the blocks on sterner and it's eir respect to this conversation in addition i'd like to see is that i'm not against construction on that lot it is is blighted lot but the design to maximize profit building 4 units it introducing problems i'm raising by having a roof-deck they have to have one

but the ground floor and the rear yard a they've going to build roof-decks t it invades on the living room and bathrooms and bedrooms the design of our building that was built in 1997 has all the windows on the west so putting in roof-decks i'm proposing a plan that squeeze in the maximum number of units into that area that has to have a roof-deck it diminishes light and invades privacy in terms of the neighborhood i'm an individual i haven't had a lot of years to go around but i see they've got 50 signatures they spent a lot of money on the lobbyist and hired attorneys i'm

an individual if you talk to my neighbors they don't approve of it neither unfortunately, some are elderly and taking time off work thank you very much. >> project sponsor you have two minutes. >> good afternoon, commissioners i just want to get back to one point i didn't get a change to talk about the number of units and what that means for inclusionary housing it is absolutely germane by doing the lot looirngz lines the way w that the project sponsor has done they can put a 3 bedroom on site family friendly inclusionary unit north of

market with inclusionary housing is not going into a nice new building that's an absolutely germane point to consider i also want to talk about the existing condition of the site it's a parking lot a single story vacant structure we're not kicking out any religious organizations and we want to reemphasis we're talking about residential guidelines we're looking at the block face and take into consideration the neighborhood context if you look at immediately across the street from the project site you can see as you can see the building is immediately across the street are built to their side lots two i want to emphasize the project

sponsor is committed to the project and the entire neighborhood is in support and project sponsor is here to answer questions the commission has thank you. >> thank you okay. the public hearing portion is closed commissioner antonini. >> yeah. another very good project to answer some of the questions that were raised by dr requester matching light wells it what we asked for and the project sponsor has gown to the letter of the law to amateur there are matching light wells to match the building adjacent to the one felt unites most finished whether the complex of the area three and four story buildings or 3 and 4 and 5 there's a variety it doesn't

matter the height limit is 40 feet this building is under 4 feet the same height as the building right near it so that number of floors isn't as important as the total of height very happy to see 12 units and happy to see on site affordable and family size units which is encouraging because we see so many projects that are built with studios and one bedrooms and really didn't help the needs of people that have children or you know extend families or other unit last more than one or two bedrooms i agree with project sponsor there's seems like a mixed bag

between buildings that are built to the property line and buildings that have spacing in between them you have to look at the context in my mind the extend neighborhood not two or three buildings immediately next to it i made concession that the dr requester and replacing an entry parking lot and finally the privacy issue in an urban environment urge you to have situation where people are going to be able to look at it from our windows or roof-deck into our windows p that happens in the city it is up to the people to use shades or anything else to block out the windows i'm in support of project.

>> commissioner moore. >> i believe this is a modest project it's a corner lot i think a lot of rules apply that can't be appealed by talking about spacing pr we are also talking sub standards needs and the dense first degree was overwhelming and the project fits well, because the orientation towards at the sceneer is a compacted project i'm comfortable about the concessions that have been made on a will the that has constraint when you obey and put units again, i wish the rendering would have been more true to the materials but i know

that you normally deal with them so i move to approve. >> second. >> but we're not taking dr i see mr. jonas raising his and bro we're not taking dr but as proposed again commissions commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner fong commissioner president wu so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero and places you on general public comment i have two speaker cards. >> mr. harvey lane and evangeli evangelist. >> how you doing commissioners first of all, we're asked to

speak with da on afraid and corruption this will be directed at those things there and also speaking about mr. obama this is towards him with fraud and corruption you leave out a lot of people in hunters point and potrero hill they're moving this is the problem and also seeing i've been with san francisco housing for 24 years and i'm having trouble in getting any retirement all i have is one more year and because i took off in '06 and 07 because they were oo
