buildings boiler we put substantial effort into having utilitiesable space the liquor is large and has a social integration it is flanked on both sides with the sidewalks and 16 foot high ceilings in that imagine you get a sense of graciousness and the connectionness to the experienced and a see the landscaping that will be implemented our idea behind creating that to the lobby extend through the stair that leads to the landscaped common terrace received to earlier poor the synergy between those two spaces

and the idea of bring the landscape we feel makes the project a more dynamic and liveable place this building section helps to illustrate the correction and blurring the line with the architecture finished materials between the interior and exterior spaces this overall view shows the design we integrate into a successful composition the building will is a strong caring reflective reflective tile above the residential pox of the building creates the projecting of aluminum bays and receded outside we that of an urban nest of providing a protective

steve from brown and mary cell i'm sure you're aware of housing is principally permitted in the m u district this project complies with the mandate and didn't require a conditional use use in exchange for making housing the eastern neighborhood imposed higher affordability requirement this is 14.4 owned or off-site the requirements are higher than than the 20 percent we've heard from the community that they prefer we provide the onsite option no guarantee there will be fees used for affordable housing in the mission to respond to the community concerns we've provide the 14 percent oinltd or onsite 2 2

bedrooms units both one bedroom unit there are some in the mission who oppose all the market could contemplate the modern housing with height and affordability housing requirement we're aware that a moratorium on code compliant projects has been imposed but no enacted we ask you not to assume it is in place that is maxed out at 27 units the mayor's office of housing is not interested in generating the housing stock for example, our 2 hundred affordable site hours is much larger than the standard and mission is 85 foot height limit

hundred a to 2 hundred unit and an rfp has been respond to for that site arrest fulsome is within one block a 29 thousand square feet 3 times this big those are the kinds of sites the mayor's office is looking for that reason is makes no sense is disapproval this site this approval at least it understanding and additional apartment regardless of how one feels about the development in the midst that don't nothing to solve the housing crisis this is the underlying zoning unless the department can

identify any enacts this issues are establishes there h are now and then newspaper by providing 23 additional unit this project will do it's part to ease the housing in the midst we ask you support this housing authorization thank you. >> okay opening it up for public comment rob pool. >> (calling names) good evening, commissioners rob with the san francisco action coalition speaking on behalf of hundred plus people our members

viewed this we've been staying in touch with the project team and in full support of project the project speaks for itself is a current available or vacate lot and can provide much needs housing spaces we spent 10 years and engaged stakeholders of all different backgrounds and came up with a good provision for what san francisco needs this plan is in line with the eastern neighborhood plan up until recently, we throughout the project sponsor would do the in lieu options we're happy they're in greater support of the project for the bmr units onsite the project sponsor made a couple of changes in response to

this increasing the bicycle parking and taking down the car parking that are good housing we feel they've done their job to reach out to the community and that's all we can say we completely support this project we hope you do international thank you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon my name is diane i work with the sro collaborative we're in opposition thirty opposition to this project we need affordable units not only 4 units on site the problem there's not enough onsite affordable housing 4 unit does hardly anything to help with the situation of displacement and gentrification in this area so many people are being displaced there are 23

percent offsite the keyword is unify taking people of low income to a different area separating families, separating community and it is really detrimental to the people who live there and who have been living there a long time my biggest point is to say that in the mission we must have more affordable housing and it's incredibly important that we continue to champion this idea and represent the community that lives there now thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i'm carolyn i'm with the mission neighborhood all to apologize to the developers and architect that have been working a long

time they probably know this neighborhood has been experiencing extreme change so what is their proposing to build awhile appropriate and aesthetics and appropriate to what makes sense for this neighborhood is hardly appropriate at this time we would like to make sure that the commissioners are aware of what is currently entitled in the neighborhood we have over 5 hundred buildings unit you've entitled about to be built at the same time, we have 34 affordable units in this neighborhood that have been approved as bmr united we have an image balance in affordable units in this neighborhood last year, we passed prop k we asked for 50 percent up the middle income we want to say this is

not predicament at this time. >> hi, i'm mike speaking on behalf of san francisco federation we can agree we need more affordable housing in the city but by stopping current projects you're not going to get not only every time you stop a project like this will every time you delay a project like this. >> i'm sorry excuse me. could the person's who mobile device is sound off please shut is it off. >> go ahead, sir and not only you delay a project with appeals processes you are creating your ensdarlg it and stopping it from happening given the race between the $0.49 and regulatory and

every time you are, in fact incentive visions more department displacement we need more supply the lack of supply is causing displacement and just as every dispensary this is a to match financing to time to get their projects built some other interested in that question are also engaging a bigger gamble by trying to stop other people's project hopeland will open up for them they may very well not get the finance if you productive the project you'll have guaranteed affordable units in the city and increased that offsets apples and oranges so i ask you to please support this project thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please.

>> i'm also a resident of the mission i support in project wholeheartedly i think we should build to the planning code according to the departments affordability and high restrictions this project is in guidance fully that he need more supply in the mission my family is growing i'd like to move into a unit that i can maybe even potentially own three or four years from now if we don't i'll be the symbol of a person to leave san francisco because not enough places to buy please, please don't. >> hi good afternoon. i am a born and raised san francisco retained specifically the tenderloin and as i've said not

many of us left if you keep on passing those there woeptd be many of us left around the city i work with the mission collaborative we're in opposition the sro substantiates we don't need more luxury housing people are been referencing but we've exceeded the number of unit for mandatory housing in the eastern neighborhood project all right. we don't need any more there's no shortage of luxury housing in the mission and as blind loyalty failed to splid will not save the see crisis and capitalism will not save us there are people in this room have stickers four units of below grade is nothing the city

is shame fully on time to the affordability it will increase gentrification and kick out people that need to stay in the mission this is one of them the question is when will you say enough is enough and every time a project comes it comes with support as long as and a they follow the rules and displacement and the lack of need for affordable housing in the mission you can what can on every street this there is luxury housing when will you show leadership in the face to face of this crisis we streptmediate for affordable housing we don't need any more units for the upper class thank you.

>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello, i'm joey the project sponsor is my father i don't have any stake i work as part of his construction company i know first of all, before i get started i wanted everyone in the room that is in support of this project it would be good to show a sign. >> okay. good the one thing i want to say i'm a native san franciscan i understand this problem is going on in san francisco right now i thought a lot about it with my friends some of my buddies or firefighters or cops working as teachers indict for them to live in the city i understand there is a problem i want to doing every thing we can my old man is a native san franciscan and wants to do his part to solve

this problem history is a good indication of what the future holds my dad's person history will show how he's going to act in the future and his commitment to the mission district he was born of a single mother and put himself through college and shortly thereafter he start doing kitchens and bombards excelsior off of thirsting sunset and got a little bit of money and leveraged himself to the brink to build a building on mixing it washington better to go market rate housing it would have served a larger profit margin he decided to make is a building that was full of section 8 elderly and model you know for building that can help to serve people in the community

with regards to 6 van ness there is disingenuous comments to monopoly has been displaced as part that p of this privilege of what my old moan believes that's number one and number two he's driving concern to build something that give the most affordable units that's why we remember that way because of his outreach they said they wanted onsite housing i strongly urge to support in the is a splild to keep native san franciscans we need more supply and affordable housing thank you for your time. >> is there additional speakers

on this item. >> okay. if you want to line up on this does it would be great if you already - >> phillip i'm sorry are you part of project manager team unfortunately, your time to speak was part of the initial presentation. >> he can still have a comment. >> yeah. this splild project of we had a separately planner we'll still have to build a lot of housing if we woke up tomorrow this project should still go forward and all the other speakers talked about how there's not enough room we can middle-aged make more o more room i'm going to read a letter i'm annie an sf resident that is

identified with eviction groups i support this project and urge to you to support it i understand that most of the opposition is routed in the lack of communication between the mission residents it is a terrifying landscape and although the landscapers with passed as the bad guy their privately financing unit that take pressure off the housing stock they're adding money to the housing stock this project will not displace resident the place is currently a parking lot and turning down the project will displace residents the 27 plus would be residents at 6 hundred van ness will become 27 folks that still wants to live in the mission and have the spend money to outbid

on the decision between the following options halt the project to a neighborhood in desperate shortage as well as contribute to the cities housing stock or use leverage of not enough neighborhood involvement to stop the project and reject the money at the end of the day there should be more communication but the tenant issue to see affordable housing fund grow however, that's possible i'm open this team my best annie. >> good afternoon i'll keep my comments brief i live and work in the city of san francisco i strongly urge 80 i to support this i understand the gentrification the largest source is existing rent

controlled apartments every market rate unit they've had build to the industrial sites replied will absorb one person who will otherwise be someone's from tics or doing an owner eviction on a rerld unit this is 23 evicts that will not happen because those people live in the building i strongly yours to u you to 0 pass psa 24. >> is there any additional public sa 24. >> is there any additional public a 24. >> is there any additional public 24. >> is there any additional public 24. >> is there any additional public 4. >> is there any additional public . >> is there any additional public . >> is there any additional public pass. >> is there any additional public pass. >> is there any additional public comment. >> good afternoon commissioners shawn i want to reinforce the notion there never has been any displacements on this site this

is an unusual hearing a case in every single speaker before you agrees we agree about the issues of displacement we agree about the cost of living in the mission sores represent and the anthd or anxiety that folks are placed under thinking and contemplating what happens next nobody's happy about it but unfortunately today is not about your affordable housing crisis in the mission that is not about our mayor's office of housing, it's not about our affordable housing program that is not about the eastern neighborhood which of the heavy attended by plenty the representation i military or anytime it i attended all many of the 44 hearings thsz this is the merits of the project and

how that project fits got context of that neighborhood and as an approved plan we live and die by the process there is is process for rezoning 44 there is is process for applications and there's a process for approvals before you there's also a process for those who are infiltrate a process for those who want to vent and need help i'll be there with you it has is to do with the ellis act and the tic and tightening up the building codes to make the cost of the codes more important than the cost of an condo and the process the way the commissioner cavanes see spends and allocates their resources affordable housing is not affordable

my latest numbers are 5 hundred and 50 to 6 hundred thousand a door it is shameful we call it affordable housing it is sets up a misconception the stage for confusion we have we need to capture it bottle it and chapel it in the in the right direction i think most people agree that is the wrong forum. >> okay a lot of other folks that want to speak to this item in addition to those or are those the last two okay. thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm charlie was struck by the comments of one the young ladies it spoke a

couple of speakers go she said the folks moving spot housing development will have the spend power to outbid other tenants my question do we want to court new residents that have that spending power or plan for neighborhoods to shiver that everyone eir respect of their income can live in the neighborhood where their kids go to school are an established group that serves institutions the choice is yours i believe that the policies in place right now are not in line with the crisis and the needs that exist within the community you have the power to anticipate how to plan our neighborhood as we move forward we're changing those policies thank
