veness on the one side you see our detailed look at the complex of the 4 big or 5 sites other 4th and brandon this is a special use district is he see up to 4 million feet of office space on those sites a big concentration of office space but the street level the first floor and the ground floor this has to occur so the 4 million office space is really constricty part of our future south of market neighborhood that's our approach i like the staff with a variety of open spaces connecting to the 4 street streetcar with the from me lesson becoming greatest places and major retail south of

market population is growing dramatically we need more supermarkets that is the perfect place it will serve mission bay residents and, of course, the affordable housing we say community garden and playground the kind of pun fatality that can't do our nonprofit staff can do and finally i mentioned last week, we is a major development on student housing open the academy of art property they can fit one thousand students this is the right place for the student housing and we think that is utter the academy required to do it of the consequences of they're taking away ourcy slment thank you.

moore said our social fabric we hold dear and looking at the way the i mps not informational information but beneficial to say where they fit inside of things if they're able to put financing sees and in 50 pages we don't see how it's financed and look forward to seeing how it is on obtain society. >> is there any additional public comment public comment is closed. >> commissioners commissioners, that places you under your urge regular calendar. >> zoning administrator i know that the lady has brought several properties before us before in the same style with you, looks like the property was

conditional use authorization. >> great good afternoon, commissioners with planning staff you have before you a conditional use authorization for a two-story dwem the replacement structure is a ground floor and 5 residential unit workplace the 24th street noah valley mc d the don't guess a certifying and above required demolition arrest the property 10 thousand mixed use building is proposed with no off-street parking secured by bikes on site for residential unit bike spaces are provided for commercial spaces on the sidewalk the proposed building is 45 feet the project will increase the number of bedrooms and 9 on site the single-family dwelling is owner occupied no unit exist open site

the conditional use has not been selected at this time project on 24th street noah valley commercial district is surrounding and zoned within the mc d and properties to the north are rh3 and r m-1 it is repeated one half block from the church line we've gotten support letters that are in your packet one more letter of letter has been submitted and is available for our review otherwise to direction or support for this project the mixed use are appropriate and impartial with the surrounding building with a mixed density and no cut will be introduced thus having one street parking space the

department represents it is approved as recommended with that concludes my presentation. >> is the project sponsor here? >> hello bryan patterson for the project sponsor this is a great project proposed to you today it is a small in fill development project replacing a small single-family owned and occupied it is out of character with the neighborhood mixed size over ground floor retail of a moderate size i'll show you a few photos of the existing home awhile old unfortunately has

lost all it's defining characteristics i believe was a mid century gone wrong adjacent are buildings that wish much larger and massive and more contemporary and in fact the structure is set back so far you don't see that while walking down the block until you're right in front of it the neighborhood is commercial district 24th street and cd education we were excited about activating the ground floor with retail space this is very well received by the neighborhood and plans for - 14 letters of support no opposition i know a couple of people want to speak on 80 this project that

is the first time we've heard from them i'd like to introduce you to the project sponsor themselves as well as brad the architect and those are owner and couped owners proposing this project not professional developers i think they've done a fantastic job in engaging with the neighborhood that's why you see the amount of support brad is here if you want to introduce some of the features of the project and come back and tell you more thank you. >> good afternoon commissioners i'm brad, i work with the xhault u consulting we were asked to approach the building with some concern for the street presence for this neighborhood commercial district with that said of course the modelation of the

building is above we took the cousin at the adjacent buildings and looking at the variety of volumes not there and tried to come up with something that was both spare in its design but clear in terms of the articulation of where the commercial spaces are identified and the lobby entries are articulated for the residential use this explained the nature of the equally divided block to the two aspire volume where the simple punk situations in that volume the area below is minced as for the mixed use to be identified there and the upper stories are set back we're articulating in terms of the stairs are intended to compliment the materials as well as the craft between the dark and light the materials again there is a

weathering steel with glass at the ground floor and we're using a fiber cement panel i'll be happy to answer any questions you have. >> thank you. >> and the project sponsor if you don't mind like to introduce themselves as well. >> hello, i'm allen i've been a long time resident of san francisco since the 80s this is the first development i've undertaken we've tried over the course two years to be as open and engaged with all the planning and neighborhood and we've had generally a good response so for. >> i'm lynn workshop one of the owners occupants we've lived

next door to the building similar to what we're proposing we've gone through the planning commission meeting for that building and tried to address the concerns the neighbors had when we that designed our building so we've built or proposed a building we hope you'll approve it thank you. >> just one more word about the philanthropist structure this purchase it is des moinesly not affordable not in great shape requires the foundation replacement this is extensive and doesn't make sense given the state of the building out of placement with the neighborhood lastly i'd like to tell you about the neighborhood supported we have 14 letters of support

i'll read one of them dear commissioner president fong and commissioners, i wish to support the project the 2012 commercial district is one of the most vibrant in the city this will enhance the neighborhood small ground floor retail space will provide an opportunity for people to opens businesses near their home is it will improve the local economy and help to affiliate the housing crisis noah valley is a friendly neighborhood this kind of project makes it easy to get suitable housing and to match the design buildings the proposed building is compliment with 9 mixed use strict this is

the kind of development we want to engage in the city sincerely leonard we have additional letters from chuck young and others (calling names) thank you very much for your time i understand they may want to speak since this is the first

time we've heard from the neighbors we would like to respond. >> opening it up for public comment we have one card jim morrell. >> good afternoon. i'm a long time resident of noah valley been there since 1980 as recently, i became aware of the project i was out of town i can tell you that was no letter against this project but i can tell you a growing amount of neighbors have a growing concern and buildings other similar size and height to be built on 24th street what concerns us not only what is going up to this is already blocking views and

casting shadows over the neighbors backyard. >> it is also something you're looking at a built building here that is twice as high at least as the 24th street implementing is a one to 3 story buildings in my opinion small town community tight-knit shopping area part of san francisco by putting in a building such as this twice as high you're beginning to look at it and replicate this type of structure looking at down 24th street you're looking at noah valley community feel but sms something that is much less personal so maybe the building is technical limits in terms of height but it is totally out of character and

totally out of scale with the rest of the street commercial strip that's my comment thank you very much. >> thank you. >> hi can you start of clock how much time. >> i saw the paper it was a shock to see what you know in print i don't know this item was on the calendar i'm glad mr. moore relay had the guts to have it pulled the building next door is under construction to the east it is humane but a double lot this is a single lot very narrow when you see the two of them together as i looked online on the agenda it is i sort of

was agasp opening it is radical as people experience it now the housing is great i understand did corridor and all of that i have two questions one is the design i mean, the little how is it had a a lot of charm especially, when the lot next door was vacant you had this wonderful front yard with a gorgeous red flowers and this building is harsh i wonder if increase a way to soften it in and out put out the window boxes but it had a small town feel this is sad to see it go but item 11 is a concern on the

calendar i don't know that legislation i know we're not there yet but it's permitted you're going to permit on the certifying to sometime can they be converted i'm wondering as others go up that's my question i don't want to stop the project but make sure that is the right kind of housing and perhaps the design to be softened somewhat somehow the two of them together not in a good way amazing sort of shocking radically different way 24th street shocking way. >> is there any additional public comment. >> okay seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner antonini. >> all right. i think this is a good project we're looking to

increase the density in an appropriate way and the zoning is 45 feet buildings adjacent to it are similar height to appears a lot of support we gain a lot more housing thereon before and plus a commercial unit and there's no additional parking being added which you know might have an impact on the neighborhood but realistically people are going to have cars that's seems to be the way things are without additional parking on the balance i think it does a good job happy to have the project sponsor work with the staff to make sure if we can so often the exterior as one speaker said to grounds and corners so it is not sharp 90

degree adams but a softer angle would help see what the other commissioners say. >> commissioner richards i agree with commissioner antonini if there was an appropriate place it is the the nc example d it added 4 additional bedrooms and no off-street parking some of the comments a better design it is age brutal as i look at the 3-d rendering is it that architect here you have a penthouse is it 45 feet to the adapt of the

building. >> the in the right direction building seems big this seems >> so clarify did height is measured to the top of finished roof to the penthouse that are up there there's a elevator and those are above the height. >> how high are they permitted. >> the stair penthouse is up to 10 feet in this case maybe the architect can give you the dimensions. >> the concern is that the 4 height limit is from the center of the property line and the red dash lines articulated where the

height limit. >> probably 61 feet with the height restrictions. >> thank you commissioner moore. >> the only thing one could ask to spend a little bit more to group the staircases in a manner they don't make the roof two massive and taller than the building as i understand the way height is measuresed how they appear how they are we have technical stairs to going come to ground floor but in between this statement is the art of design so i suggest the department send a little bit more time with the applicant to take care of the proper kind of

rooftop expression and the facade that is a little bit more in keeping for a quiet background building because the building is so much turn around and indicates a transition which rightfully expresses discomfortable in the adjoining neighborhoods keep it as a background building that's mites recommendation and i move to approve with the specific instructions for roof as well as the facade treatment. >> second. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further there's a motion and second to approve that matter with conditions as amended to conclude work.

>> commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner wu. >> commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero and places you on item number 9 at 933 through 9 stockton. >> despite in i work closely on that i ask to be recused. >> commissioner moore i sit on this design review as appointed by the or asked by the commission president i've heard this project in a different context i'm aware of the comments and the push back of the comments the committee made

to this project. >> do i need another motion to recuse. >> on that motion to rekinds commissioner wu. >> commissioner hillis commissioner moore commissioner hillis commissioner wu and commissioner president fong e so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously. >> good afternoon liz this is an informational and result in previously approved chinatown known as the head house on stockton street as you recall the conditional use authorization as part of the sfmta expansion into chinatown in september of 2012 as a condition of that approval the sfmta in conjunction with the office of economic workforce development and the planning

department engaged in a series of ways to have open space into the site that will environment the head house and serve the neighbors it will present an overview of the final design with that i'm going to turn it over to the central program director john thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is is john i'm also accompanied by jan wang we'll be providing you with a short briefing of the chinatown design. >> the future chinatown station sites located on a price of property it certainly didn't look like that today if you're on stockton and washington

street the chinatown station is under construction it is in construction over a year and a half the actual status of chinatown station construction is 25 percent complete just stepping back and talking about the central subway if the offer 50 percent complete we declared it 50 percent complete behind us and ahead of us is the finishing of the stations themselves the project remains on budget and schedule from its original budget established in 2008, a bit of good news with a precedent towards the end of the month. >> in 2013 sfmta was given the opportunity and perhaps the challenge of
