kitty-corner from the front the lower building not the giant at all one is eddy and taylor in am it is a simple l escaped or shaped building there it is pretty much with the scale of the tenderloin historic district you'll see the thing in the back we have a brick park surrounded or combrasdz by a white part that goes and faces this large court yard in the back 24 shows the elevation on eddy street more of a close-up cut those notches in the building that
10:13 pm
relation to the existing sro next door along with the materials this is taylor street with the giant tower off the top very much in the scale of the neighboring buildings and actually, the you have the brick part and then to the left the part is part of the simpler embrace of the plainer building and the more you know brick tile building so this shows the entry to the affordable housing off open ed i didn't street excuse me. taylor street some examples a entry to the court yard from eddy the upgrade into the historic management in the the bayview hill gardens you see
10:14 pm
into the gardens that is where you see into the court yard the entry on the street and then there's a court yard behind this is the court yard saturated pictures i like the saturated colors you guys (laughter) that is where the court yard with a it up u top lot with 3 guerillas this is kite of agriculture another court yard we have this the storming is allowed and the community spaces is on the street the idea to make them open and light and airy this is a clinic and have retail about 55 hundred fiat
10:15 pm
succeeded that is harvest market which is the project and this is not affordable this is on benjamin but the cross street and another project in the affordable housing so doing novice retail is very important the close up of the retail and scaling it so it is modern but meets the pedestrian needs in san francisco in terms of reconciling scale how you break it up we're not breaking it up but we did do a non-traditional division did bases bigger and almost building sized phase this is a bay down the street this the how the bays work the buildings are in and out and making the buildings similar to the historic district buildings
10:16 pm
then we have sun shades this is also some shades and the other buildings on golf street a way to add depth you can add depth with the sun shades this is the detail it is important you get a lot of sunlight and there's spectacular overheating issues yeah. we don't want that it is sustainable building and has you know good sound strategy features we hope to do more this is minimum that the unit a lot of 3s and 2s and studios as well this shows the ground level with the court yard being enclosed
10:17 pm
phasing eddy and on taylor the community space important to serve the clients e whether or not i see as you go upstairs this is showing the larger unit this is a view up eddy street there the current situation how it fits in and then this is an eye level view across taylor if you like i haven't taken all my time i have a little movie that shows 3-d >> wrong project sorry so confusing this is a couple of times as you can see there it is as a mass
10:18 pm
that's more static rendering it's good to have the sound like bar you get the soundtrack this is the building how it meets the ground basically the ground level is very actively like i walked out into the street this is the retail facing eddy street that will be the aim to get a grocery store if possible not a 14 foot one this is taylor which is a little bit steeper but you see the door the community space and go down the street the retail turns the corner and you get a feeling for it
10:19 pm
this way and then this is how the entry will describe the court yard shares the amenity for the streets comes into this you talk to someone and they let you in and mailboxs and a security room with a kitchen and opens up to the court yard and k0ur9 yard is nice barbecue out there and it's almost done this is interesting this is the working side this is gaming software nothing is going to pop up to shoot this is a bicycle garage off the street right by itz front door in the garage or
10:20 pm

10:21 pm
into affordable housing next to transit that will be a great edition to the tenderloin hope you approve that without delay thank you. >> is there any additional public comment okay seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner antonini and yeah. i think that is a very good project and actually a smaller version what we approved a couple of years ago i will mention not brought up the shadow impact on the park we already have passed with the rec and park but i want to make sure that is mentioned only mentioned on projects that people don't like and want it blocked i like this project and a lot of other ones we're aware this one is approved with a shadow impact on a park that has zero shadow impact as a reminder for the
10:22 pm
future a couple of things to bring up with mr. backer it is a well done but. >> couple of things i want to ask about i look at the the building across taylor street on ill listed i list it has the same color but sort of a capital area that's a different color at the top presidential defined why didn't you have an ending point at the top to breakdown it a little bit. >> we actually do question have a substantial capita as we call it nowadays that cast a shadow line it sticks out 8 inches and sort of sleek and modern but nice end to the building in terms of the color the low fire tile i like to call it is thin
10:23 pm
so didn't fall off and hit people on the heads during earthquake but use 5 shades with a design that will be an active really he nice unique and places off of sacramento clay. >> i don't mind the solid color but kind of a finish line at the top with a very negotiable changed of colors i understand you don't want two big for earthquake concerns i was looking across the street on eddy when is be a little bit shorn than our building that has a nice break that is one thing to 0 throw out and the windows there are a lot of little windows i noticed you went with
10:24 pm
windows that - recesss is a little bit different i'll assume it is like mini bay windows they extend from the surface of the building. >> there's a sunshade that extends it is a recess but your recessing at the same time the windows are in the plain of the wall. >> it gives us the impression they're out further. >> there are 4 foot floor to ceiling it is acquit large. >> okay. i think it is good i mean whether you can do it you know put any kind of a mold you have the sunshade around the windows to break up u up the mold. >> we've been working with the planning department. >> everything else looks at
10:25 pm
good i've very supportive. >> commissioner wu. >> i'm very supportive happy to see the affordable project on the issue of the shadow there's a quality active crux to consider also so for me it is whether a public good being provided we could consider the shadow and am appreciative the last thing the project looks at i think there's going to be thirty percent unit for people that are at risk of homelessness i'm glad to see that. >> commissioner moore. >> i want 0 echo my sport it was in 2009 it has come a longs way a shorter building in its
10:26 pm
design and expression been an incentive building for those who didn't see the 2009 to put this on the overhead not to criticize the building it didn't celebrate the context and interpretation of tile to bricks thas this as a larger shadow allotment with zero tolerance so we as commissioner wu summarized approved the building because of the benefit of housing for the purposes of housing out weigh the credential shadow allocation we approved together with rec and park that building is extremely well proportions and to my eyes more
10:27 pm
appropriate in benchmarking i like the generous attitude towards the public spaces the rooms are small no ability to socialize we'll have people over but have to meet in the common area with the court i can't read it has qualities with planting to make it a liveable building i'm in support and move to approve. >> second. >> commissioners there is a motion and a second to approve commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner wu commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes national anthem 7 to zero and places you on the next case. you'll consider the conditional
10:28 pm

10:29 pm
off-street parking is provided but two bicycle parking spaces it is via with a common roof deck to date the department has 7 letters of support from the coalition and business owners in the hayes valley association that competence their view unless the project provided 20 percent onsite affordable housing units i have the letters here the section allows 40 percent to be waved with the following two caesar criteria one the parties to serve the population and two, that there are physical constraint on the property that make it unreasonable to fulfill the requirement the project has singles without children with middle-income this
10:30 pm
is not a unique but arguably represents the population that the demand out weighs the supply the physical captions the small triangle parcels that measure 31 hundred square feet ran several scenarios and found two bedroom comparable unit are difficult due to the requirement for speculation and other typical features found in 2 bedroom units to make the project economically feasible it varies than less than 40 percent of units contain 2 bedroom units the
