theirs we'll have a matching courtyard and the courtyard landscaping in this image on the roof deck is a design the studios we're providing the common open space under the 3 thousand high quality roof deck it is designed tomato misses it's used by many resident awhile articulating and park and rec department's i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> memoriam interest from project manager. >> opening it up for public comment i don't believe we have any speaker cards. >> sue hester this is an sro we have a how's goal announced by the city the housing units my
11:37 pm
question what is the income of the market rate units mile suspicion it is not anything that qualification as moderate income a third goal of the housing by my calculations is 26 handout instead we're getting 9 we're digging ourselves into a deeper polling hole with every project we approve that didn't meet the housing goals ted set did i by the mayor this commission and the board of supervisors and had a press conference and second thing will the project manager right now guarantee that there will be no short-term rentals this is a location that is especially attractive to short-term rentals because it is so near to the moscone center
11:38 pm
and the units are hotel room size and you can make a lot of money by doing short-term rentals if the owner is to guarantee that he will make a condition that there are no short-term rentals it would be an profit of this project it will be an improvement of the project if there were more affordability and if we will look at the income level to the serviced by this population other thing it is not a free they're not doing this out of the goodness of their heart they're asking for exceptions exceptions can improve value to the project manager they're asking to do the decks and popist in the front because they're not allowed by the eastern area control so they want to have the
11:39 pm
obstructions over the street and want to have 13 unit not meet the exposure requirement why the he will do we do all this work on setting standards and in area plans if there is so blatantly ignored we're getting market rate housing instead of affordable middle-income housing and exceptions and i'm asking for a modest things get more affordability and a guarantee of no short-term rentals and if you're not able to request let the project manager speak about what he'll do is there any additional public comment. >> not seeing public comment is closed.
11:40 pm
commissioner moore. >> from the what's in front of us trying to address a new market with the family of micro unit it will be asked the project manager about affordable by seeing a certain pattern that is on 901 tennessee same attitude a large project so it is an approval project another it's delivery the only questions are the sue hester asked it has to meet the description of quality that in granting a variance of what that is, i have to say the facade of that building is less than attractive
11:41 pm
it is a facade with the last panel remind me of arresting ethnic and old lace i'll see something you'll use the metal panel to give more sculpture expression and really more pronounced sculpture you might as well be the holder of how this meets the street and environment i'll suggest that the department has more room to should we approve that without further restrictions to work with you on a better articulation of the facade otherwise i would like to ask you to speak to the issue about it you wouldn't mind speaking about that i'll appreciate that. >> good afternoon,
11:42 pm
commissioners dan with reuben, junius & rose here on behalf of the project sponsor we're in a district we're required by the planning code and also by voter initiative to do 12 percent affordable housing we've committed to do those onsite we need the density bonus that is part of the reason we've asked for dwelling unit exposure expectation to give you an example what those units rent for voedz are restricted to a maximize excuse me. maximum rental price of $700 a month. >> the affordable units correct. >> okay. >> appreciate our clarifying that. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i like this project and i would support commissioner
11:43 pm
moore and asking the project manager to continue to work with staff on design to prove improve that to address the street in the best possible way that meets a big need we know for a fact that many, many people are moving to san francisco and many people require smaller spaces or can live with smaller spaces and many people will be working near in area those are the kinds of people that will rent this we don't know what in their income will be but adequate to rent the unit and not expedite with other people with housing stock we've helped the affordability in the city by approving those units it begins to address the real demand the demand off people come into to the city with more income and expediting with
11:44 pm
people that wish to live here of limited means we're doing exactly what we should do i'm total in support of this project and move to approve. >> second. >> commissioner hillis. >> yes. i'm in support just a followup on commissioner moore's comment on the last item ii get confused of sros and group housing what's the rules a memo to the commission i know would be hopefully in how straight residential if this is studios or you know we had the discussion of motorcycle units at some point to be hopeful helpful. >> we're happy to do that is confusing 50 didn't mean group housing it is a completely definition only applies to south
11:45 pm
of market. >> gaek. >> so what's the. >> definition. >> it would be helpful, too, and tourist hotel and commissioner richards. >> to sue hester's point when he can, etc. when we came up with the affordability i wish there was a calculator you should be doing 20 percent affordable we'll getting people to do 20 when people are doing 12 there there are extraordinary construction i'm frustrated no to figure out what is the worst what are we granting and asking or asking having the developer
11:46 pm
volunteer what does that mean director thank you thank you i think it is a great project. >> commissioner johnson. >> thanks i'm supportive gru just a few questions first of all, to commissioner richards i look forward to hope our lunch is productive it depends on at the end of the day the performance worked out if you is where a 5 story building with x amount of units i know that building has an agreement attached to it those are rental unit but it that part of the planning code for sro's or part of this project. >> if their rental. >> i can answer the question if i understand your question correctly in order for this project to enter into an agreement objective some kind of density bonus and with the
11:47 pm
expectation that includes 13 dwelling units that enables this project to be a rental project. >> so part of the consideration has nothing to do with to do with the type of building. >> no, it didn't the agreement can be utilized or used for any type of dwelling unit not necessarily an sro. >> commissioner moore. >> interthe market with the number of large promotions if any of those projects would be sold what are the remaining obligations that someone buying 9 project would emancipation proclamation tail would the affordability or the reasonable or the appearance of the building remain or remain part of it or go back to zero can you answer >> commissioner i'm sure.
11:48 pm
>> i'm saying this developer is interthe market i'm saying if one of the projects fall by the way side gets sold what that mean the sdpiement with the particular details to which we're currently giving the project could they stay or be reinterpreted. >> the anonym is a requirement that can't change. >> but getting go offsite and . >> they could choose to go offsite inspected and there are certain requirements a some point you can switch to pending the fee and under certain circumstances as far as
11:49 pm
construction and document and you can switch to onsite at symcertain up to this point in time but there's nothing that binds us because it has specific triggers by it being reasonable or a good project or won that totally goes south. >> right there are change the zoning administrator is required to make a call when a project comes in for permit and often design changes are made i think he raised this issue we were looking at this language but there are changes that are made often asked the entitlement we have to make the call whether it is in confrontation or large
11:50 pm
enough change to bring it back to the commission. >> that entails a big responsibility month projects are in arrow it is difficult to design a project and tennessee has another aspect i think this project addresses but could easily go to the wrong hands and turn into it faster. >> commissioner antonini and yeah. i think commissioner johnson asked a question and i my mind i believe sro's that be for sale projects as a matter of fact so the difference in the builder or project manager want to to be- it addresses rentals not ownership norpd in order to be allowed to have controls over the rents of those the city or
11:51 pm
some entity has to give a bonus so all the discussion about it has to give something to cost of hawkins that answers that commissioner richards. >> i want to draw a parallel between hawkins and the last project where we were going ignoring doing a dance around supervisor avalos passes is that. >> the project was not require or asking for bulk and square footage expectation. >> i thought you said height. >> there was a conditional use the code allows requires a conditional use to go above a certain height but not here. >> got it and commissioners
11:52 pm
there is a motion and a second on that motion. >> commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore continues include to work with the facade. >> commissioner richards commissioner wu and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero and place on items 9 ab for the case the north beach special use district planning code text amendment and 627 vallejo conditional use authorization. >> good afternoon. i'm kevin with planning department staff the item before you is the qualifying to establish a restaurant known as momma's with a grocery business known as little momma's if i could have the overhead for a moment
