more that accident about the ground condition and that the street how the street worked a series of meetings it was consistent between narrow objectives and ours there's or here's the streets a bit for comfortable third street is narrow 10 feet so some relief and some scraping and some articulate the way we set this out a series of boxes we pulled the column back so we are able to look at the because of building to the property it give us an opportunity to modulate the front of the building so go to the next one. >> so in the discussions we end up working closely with the landscaping architect but there is a consistent 2 foot margin

along third, that as what planting and we do periodically add additional depth incorporates seating and other elements that make the, more coursed and the entire plan is active along third street as you can see you start to see kind of how the street edge works with the planters along the edge a large push out in the - these sgridz potrero is not bad but most of the distresses are on the street and seeing here and we'll transition into the decision of the courtyard what happens as well we've got this courtyard that is subdivided keep going bryan this give us an beyond a reasonable doubt of

elevation what the street looks like at the corner of the 19th street we have the large mobile wall system the commercial use at the corner that will be you know something akin to a coffee shop are some kind of outlet of transparency and access to the sidewalk and increased the better streets program we increased and maximum missed the landscaping along the edges there are long strips replaced with trees and want cars between the access to the sidewalk we're trying to get to many building what is allotted in the green space again main entry next one bryan. >> a view you'll see there are no from the entry to the courtyard in essence a view into the courtyards and at the top again, we have this

talked about having a public space that is adjacent to the areas on the eastern portion of the building so that we have plans we can go into more detail or anything specifically you'd like to speak being just trying to give you an overall character of the building. >> the commissioners may have questions your time is up. >> opening it up for public comment. >> not seeing any, public comment is closed. all commissioner moore. >> sorry. >> was there a public comment. >> yes. >> okay. >> good afternoon. this is stair child the director of the elizabeth telethon party and of the federation once again this is a housing project we need more housing i urge you to approve it that's

pretty much was it boils down to and you know it is easy important people to pop up with rationals but this means for homeless and more suburban sprawl and lots of open space and environmental gwen's consequences and more traffic and in fill development in the city is threatening to be responsible and to make living in san francisco affordable again, thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> on this item? okay public comment is closed. >> commissioner moore. >> i'm interested to see a large project coming down and in an area where there is plenty of room for invasion i'll add commencements comments on the

end but in general the scale of the large project in the way it is reasonable as a residential project in an area that is in transition it is active court use where on these types of buildings we're putting larger residential buildings on which we've spent a lot of time and thought around the building inspections that of that building is is now complete that building will greatly benefit from the park across the street so sorry for struggling with that word which neighborhoods housing & healthy communities committee is a large addition of a major citywide open space on the jurisdiction the design was the large historic preservation commission will be an interesting juxtaposition and enlightenment to the building at hand but also help the height of the building as proposed will be

natural lands we're in the step fashion down to the waterfront was for the park sitting lower you'll see this whole thing as a way how to treat the hill i actually enjoy the question i'll caution i like the addition of landscape the the devil is in the details is the maintenance of landscaping private landscaping which creates a public edge we have many presentation with many projects and tried to do it well, it takes a phenomenal amount of money and attendance how a micro climate makes the scomplaip to tooed exceed the memorandum on intensive

scomplaip can be verified this building is large i'm looking to the architect here since this building is large the scomplaip e shaping is an integral part of building the building was detailed that. >> way it read a residential building bulb the scomplaip a critical ingredient at the larger building eat corner the units the separation between building is reilly on a courtyard i mentioned the kind of things that protect the privacy from front to back generally speaking i think this is a project which i would strongly support and make the motion to approve the conditions. >> second.

>> commissioner antonini autopsy i'm also supportive i think that is a very good project for all the reasons as mention 7 thousand open square feet of open space affordable housing and over one million dollars in fees and i know ownership which i like to see we've had so few projects that have ownership in a city that has you know only 1/3rd owners sterilization i think step in the right direction it will address the needs of people trying to buy they're first units it would be a very good option and i agree with commissioner moore i think that is important since you have a board front whatever landscaping is good and crafts with everything else it is the treatment isblas day their isn't

anything green it is important it be done the right way. >> commissioners a motion seconded to approve commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner wu commissioner richards commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero. >> commissioners that place us on items 12 case castro street a conditional use authorization. >> glj commissioner president fong and fellow commissioners planning department staff the item before you is a conditional use authorization for a change

of use to a formula retail pharmacy on castro street this is located within the castro hill it is related to the pharmacy the project was overflow room approved in an over-the-counter building permit for 10 improvements for medical office and pharmacy in january of 2014 the formula retail component was not vetted and the planning has a suspension of such permit the project sponsor appealed the suspension so the board of appeals the permit was run stated for the property with the pharmacy portion suspended until further review the project is before the commission for the decision on the formula retail pharmacy

currently 37 pharmacy locations worldwide and the use is considered formula retail the project so to relocation at 4071, 8th district to the project sites an castro street to provide central located services for its clinic tell between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. open saturday the company mr. fulfill prescriptions for the clients the project includes interior improvements the project sponsor conducted a

formula retail survey in late 2013 and there are currently 7 formula retail businesses are 16 percent of storefront one of the 0 existing formula retail uses is the aids height pharmacies on yifthd that is no net gain of formula retail uses in the general vicinity the department has received four communications in support of project and 4 communications in opposition in those communications received avenue after our packets were received regarding comments no oppositions most of concerns related to the project sponsor as american people's operator concerns there are other

pharmacies in the area, and concerns regarding creating a new vacant in the castro street mohcd the letter submitted was not in coordination with the department of public health and was retracted because it didn't represent the position the department recommends approve with conditions and building this is necessary and desirable for the following reasons the project promotes the continuing operation of an established business and troubled the viability felt overall castro street mcd the project will not displace any existing rail tenants providing goods and services to the neighborhood and not result in a net increase of the number

of pharmacies in the area the project will result in no net changes in the vicinity, the project will provide centrally located services for the patrons and meets occupy all the applicable conditions for the planning code that concludes my presentation. i'm available to answer any questions but first i want to hand it off to the project sponsor team with a more detailed presentation and hold off i want to make sure i flew disclosure is a private citizen as the president the successor i have an appellant for the ada foundation when they tried to go with in the pharmacy with the name of castro pharmacy i can, objective and not asking to be recused thank you. >> on that one issue.

>> good afternoon. my name is a tom meyers the general council of chief public affairs they have a have a permit for a nonprofit hiv aids pharmacy for the street to vacate space on castro street a distance of less than three hundred feet and the hsa can co-locate with the hiv clinic a one time package of care a model that is universally recognized as the best practice of coming to better health is a nonprofit it provides hiv aids and medical clinics to over 5 thousand plus people

in san francisco it is has provided services for over 12 years around phil 13 hundred people put their trust in the pharmacy approximately 10 percent of san franciscans with hiv and aids taking medication people are hiv aids not only are healthy their village not infectious this is the private height of the patient and protects the larger public health the pharmacy will help to eliminate the barriers and the h f provides financial and others support to other hiv organizations in san francisco including the agency with the targeting at risk youth apparently in summary we propose we are consistent with the policies and goals with that

application all the h f c to have the existing pharmacies in vacated space as a result of that move there is will no change in formula retail a number of concentration no net change in stlakts a move to a vacate business on castro not a change in tenant innovate a change national number of parliament in the area, not changes in the storefront or buildings not a need for additional parking and no new supply for the neighborhood character the only thing that changes h f s will offer a higher quality and consistent with the conditional use of the available services h f respect

requests this application be granted thank you very much. >> opening it up for public comment commissioners, i have a number of speaker cards. >> thank you. >> (calling names). >> good afternoon, commissioners and in review of the eir report and also the lack of super report i feel personally this is been not filled out properly and looking at the application they didn't send out a letter to the 45 three hundred radius of businesses and it is required quite truthfully a it is required in my opinion

also in the conditional use authorization application they list here cms that is the headquarters of h f s and also most importantly if you look at the zoning map here one mile radius we have may i have the overhead please. in the one mile radius of the newly property site we have 11 pharmacies at the present site this is a disruptions of signage on the front with the larger sign with the compared to the neighbors on the bottom is in front of the muni stop zone area and want you to take note in the

photo here from above we have the motor home of a f s hiv testing a vehicle parked in front of this site it will be blocking the muni assess and also parking this increases also a congestion of foot traffic as well vehicle traffic in the castro neighborhood i'm concern the eir didn't call this out as properly reviewed also, they seem to be gaming the formula retail if so a worldwide organization with other firearms around the world also this organization is they have $400 million of money in their war chest that is

politically active in proposing a ballot measure of bankruptcy i thought for opposing the affordable housing we don't want them to spread up here. >> therefore in my opinion the eir report is inaccurate and instuff sufficient and we need to take more time as well as the petition was brought out for the folks in support of this new sign and it is very unclear it is pharmacy or just a general pharmacy. >> thank you (calling names). >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm a 25 year residents of san francisco

inch lived in castro neighborhood in the past i have a negative opinion of h f s and building they're not beneficial to to and 0 the san francisco's goal of reducing hiv infection to zero i realize this i'm sorry this is - excuse me. i realize this is not about allowing the pharmacy into the castro but allowing to move and relocation i also realize that there will be an no inclusionary formula retail from the request is granted my problem with this it two-fold one i believe that allowing them tool move will hurt the castro i think we need morality on the

street this is a major block of the castro i think something of this nature will hurt pedestrian traffic i think another retail store will bring in more foot traffic i think that will recruit the pedestrians as well street traffic secondly, it is important to note that the castro upper market community beneficial district the castro working group is a significant amounts of gay communities are opposed to this going forward please remember how often do you find local businesses and merchant opposed to relocation of an existing store in the neighborhood i then tells a lot thank you. >> thank you

(calling names). >> thank you, commissioners i'm a 20-year residents of san francisco i've lived in the castro for the last 8 years and basically as everything else has said had supposed to be about whether or not in the desirable and necessary for the community the castro no is it not by their own description they operate 43, 47 pharmacies in the united states and castro will bring them to a total of more and they operate 36 countries they're a chain as to ah s being necessary we have 11 pharmacies within the

neighborhood we don't need another 3 walgreens and cvs and a safeway we don't need it is not necessarily and the billboards are observable thank you. >> commissioners thank you for the opportunity to come i'm ray a writer and community organizer i've worked on various hiv programs since the 1980s i come to request you not allow the aids health care to relocation on the castro street it is not appropriate for the neighborhood i want to point to many instances of counterproductive and business practices let me be clear my opposition to the

presents on castro street they're not a good fit for the values of the castro neighborhood picture while practitioners have done great work they is a history find anti approaches circuitry to the values of the preservation embed in the castro their effort are in opposition to people that want to prevent and treat hiv on a personal level i'm highly connected to the - who supports ah f currently their efforts is counter of the overwhelming contentious of the ream they're trying to gain the system that is here today and no doubt their

sgho formula retail may or may not what measures we have plenty of pharmacies in the castro not another national change and they're not appropriate for the castro and not necessary not great for san francisco i urge you to please consider the health and well-being the san franciscans in the castro neighborhood and not allow them to open the pharmacy the results of someone i happen to grab someone's note from the church i'm reading his notes any- this undermines the work to promote healthy and open testing of treatment the people don't boopg belong in the castro thank you

for your time and consideration i appreciate it. >> hello name a pacific heights an internal physician working in san francisco but i'm a gay man living in the castro i'm here to bafrnl or comment on the policies i'm here to say their neither necessary for the castro more desirable a chain operating in the union street and in the castro there are already many locates for residents to seek care for magnet and private practices and the castro health center part of the department of public health there are many, many pharmacies in the castro ah f is not desirable for this community there as in at castro we hear the words do you trust them send the message to gay then men? the

wrong message to the community especially those are not new and many have commented about the inappropriateness how these adds can be i urge you not to relocation on castro street thank you. >> thank you. >> (calling names). >> no particular order ma'am. >> good evening not to exceed a significantly in a the executive director of welcome organized to respond to life-threatening diseases and we're we're this is a unique orientation that provided educational services and social services and recognizes on

behalf of the woman vulnerable to hiv there is not many institutions like this in the nation we're very excited to be able to call that area our home we're located in oakland we are serving communities across northern california world has a speciality we find people who find women specifically that have fallen out of care and we bring them back, however, we need to do it you hear about the services we've come a long way the facts tells you the most important thing to get people on their medication as much as possible there is not anyone here that disputes that so having a clinic

and a pharmacy co-located is very, very for the people that we work are the marginalized they're dealing with trauma and impoverished and have multiple health issued and saying to them you should go down the street to another pharmacy well it is hpc we know many integrated care works it works where take our privileged and a model in northern california called kaiser permanente that set that standard for the nation why is that not good enough for the people that are marginalized we have worked a ah f for many years providing services we wouldn't be able to provide it

difficult time to be an organization if you're a small and community-based in 2014 we affiliated with them and we believe that having integrated serves is so important we're moving across the street from ah f we we find woman fallen out of the care we can walk across the street and get mile-an-hour medications and get them started to a safe their lives i have deep respect for the gravity of responsibilities in a politicalized community. but i besearch you ma'am, your time is up. >> thank you. >> your time is up. >> ma'am, your time is up.

>> ma'am, your time is up. >> thank you. >> (clapping) (calling names). >> good evening my name is stephanie home sharers the retention manager of the ah f and i help with the intervention services in charge. for hiv people getting them into care we have the timeframe and work with the patient that have pickup truck problems we understand the systemically barriers that keep people identity care that reduces the barriers to have one location hope people stay in care thank

you for your time >> thank you. >> next speaker >> hey good afternoon. thank you for the opportunity to comment i'm stephen the doctor for the hastings law ileum and add i'm a resident of the tenderloin for the past 10 years hiv i've used the health services and getting to zero hiv infections and watching ah f activities across the country and they run completely in opposition to the services san francisco leader we adopt new strategies and w with work the community ah f is a danger in the hiv community not desired

in the castro several pharmacies exist within the block please protect the community by voting against this pharmacy. >> i'll call more names (calling names). >> go ahead and good afternoon, commissioners i'm damn a resident of district 8 i expect you've heard i don't want to rehereby but pointed out that as far as i know the entire use of conditional use we're requesting whether or not a project is necessary and desirable for a district and you know as someone that lived in the district with this where this project will be nothing ah f can build is

necessary and desirable in my book so, please i want to urge you to deny this project. >> thank you good afternoon, commissioners i'm honored to be before you i'm jessie brooks i am e i want to be transparent i've worked with ah f as a contractor with as a coordinator but sit on the board and do a lot of history work on the annual san francisco i was sitting here listening to the opposition and trying to look for good reasons why not no move i don't see any reason it suldz they want ah f to move windfall we want to move the pharmacy to the clinic where the tests show

that clients who patients who credit sr. their care in one space do better with better outcomes so it is not about everything else they were saying that is about i don't hear anybody talk about saving lives what the clients having a better outcome i'm talking about getting to ground zero i have hiv and just to get to the clinic was has he will to me i count the patients that deal with the stigma that have to go from building to building that adds more to the stigma i'll talk about the appropriateness who is to say what is appropriate? i'm kind of worried about who they are demon appropriate for the castro are they saying that they

patients that ah f is bringing is not appropriate i don't think so are quo i don't see a good argument not to move the pharmacies ah f is one of the pharmacies all we want to do is move the pharmacy corner the corner for the patients to get better care i mean, i understand the argument against the liquor store and the drug dealers i can't get my head around it but so ask to you make the right decision when you think about it in about people's lives not about politics and feelings how they feel about hiv but about saving lives thank you

(clapping.) >> good evening, commissioners i'm jane kim a 22 residents the neighborhood and with the san francisco aids foundation it is clear that san franciscans dislike the politics the local hiv community and our community of civil servant h s is a bad fit that makes san franciscans proud the decision will plain clothes advertised about land use that is necessary and desirable for the neighborhood so let's look at that case for example, h f letters of support for one withdrawn out of concerns that is objected inappropriate and from an oakland agency that is by anyone that didn't reside in the bay area since 2013, the organizations on h f is people

getting incentives and second the patient surveys as you recall during the last hearing the business from the oakland facility and from out of state to talk about the - they were not the advice of local neighborhood the sponsor has ignored the requests for the give me graphics no new evidence this ah f as a a clinic fell castro we know the castro represents a buffer opportunity for the wal-mart of patient care we know that the sponsor avoided the correspondence and tried to exist to get the project approval we know from looking at other jurisdictions when the sponsor was able to co-locate it's fancy chain if could auto spend and out last several

nonprofits and put them out the business i'll leave every week in this room you here from neighbor units and nonprofits expressing their adamant support i have to building has influence on your decision we offer this unions and merchant and neighbors and others community-based organizations stand knitted in their ocean to this project the rest is up to you. >> (calling names). >> i'm going to request both sides refrain from clapping. >> thank you commissioners i'm daniel the executive director for project for san francisco bans hiv advocacy and public

organization i want to society myself i know think that ah f is a great provider of the serviced for the public policy matters is an entirely different one but that that is not the issue burglary this is a necessary use in the castro the castro obviously has a great kind of accumulation of a set of businesses among them coffee places that would seem and pharmacies me in the interest of diversity of the kinds of uses that are in the castro is the desirable to move in a different direction than permitting another pharmacy and it is clearly given the number of fireman's pharmacies it is not necessary to have another one i've been working in hiv since 1991 a strong desire to marry or

make sure that people with hiv have a quality care and access to pharmacy services but not clear if so necessarily it occur at that location it is abundantly clear federal and state this is a formula retail and multiple above 11 h f pharmacies worldwide and this is in violation of the departments own policies so thank you for your time. >> (calling names). >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm lane born a resident of the castro moving the pilgrim will have a negative impact on the community there will be harm ah f is a gig

business this is about money and playing with the shell games enforces this they're a nonprofit in the paper sense they're a business and routine untruly in their adds they intellectually have misinformation defines at best and dangerous at best this is necessary and desirable they're not a good neighbor and the threat of it their actions regarding other community organizations and their campaigns causes harm to the neighborhood national castro ah f promote a high negative attitudes towards health care that is the last thing we need to the castro with the openly of the store my neighborhood said this is a step backward this is not a good fit for the

neighborhood our opinion 2, 3, 4 is not necessary and desirable i ask the commission to vote not in favor. >> good afternoon. i'm the executive director for the castro you were market benefit district we're here to represent my board of directors and in opposing the moving the ah f to castro street the castro benefit district represents the board areas of you were market area your land use decisions are bans the needs or benefit not based on the needs of one project sponsor but how to impacts the neighborhood as a whole we take guidance from the castro and upper market strategy study all to the castro

market board of directors opposing the pharmacy because we feel that is neither necessary and desirable and it didn't center a good fit for the neighborhood i'd like to august that with the planning department in that if didn't contributed to the long term viability of the neighborhood my office is across the street from castro street i don't think i've seen one person walk into theory front door and they are not open very often i don't think the pharmacy is open very often either we need an active retailer or business in this spot we don't need a business that is open only carbon monoxide that has few clients coming in but we ask we don't know the percent of their clients that

are castro residents so we don't say it is nrnl they're not benefiting people in the castro i also have a question several of us tried to get the answer we don't know the space is a 4 thousand square feet and it seems like it, too large to have different businesses and purposes in that space i know when across the city said to expand their ann e where their fabric spore the planning department made them have two different doors and so why that not an issue here i don't know the other thing about this not a good fit or value for the neighborhood it it ah f was in a long lawsuit with ace in the

castro and it end up going to court the settlement showed you ah f had to paid thousands of dollars this is months and months and months the aids hospice had to go without rent from their tent ma'am, your time is up. >> ma'am, your time is up. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment please step forward. >> good evening to you all the aids health foundation i come as a proud husband of a wife who is now unknown deterrible with the virus

they've been very violent part of our relationship in keeping us healthy a vital part as a community and me being with my wife on some of the sick days it is i think convenient for her to have to go to the doctor and clinic and other location for the pharmacy i think we are here to service the people that are in need if we can just save one life it is worth that i understand the concerns of the surrounding community but if we can save one life if we can make that possible for one person to have that one women's history month our goal is met thanis met than

>> i wasn't going speak but i've seen the people speaking on behalf of the ah f are not san franciscans they don't live in our district they can't represent our district they've spoken out they don't understand why we oppose this is our neighborhood we're opposed to it and one other reason is that in the initial presentation they nerngsz going to be changing - it will change the appearance of castro street and it will create for congestion as walking did

you observe the street the neighborhood went through a revirths to make it is important appealing other formula retail is going to take that reputation down another thing they mentioned was that none no one is talking about safety life well ah f is opposed to saving life i'm on a medication their clinic would not reach out to me i have to go to my kaiser permanente and, yes they have the pharmacy in the building but i have to go four underscores floors and a city block i don't understand why someone canned walk three hundred feet down the street. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> excuse me. i'm a little bit

emotional i don't know how the residents of castro hiv and aids lives in all our communities we're coming from one community to another we don't lose our status ii diagnosed hiv positive in 1993 didn't aids in 1999 i remember several times in the diagnoses going to any doctor and having to go to a a walgreens or cvs i don't know if anyone understand the words stigt is alive and well in our state of california i've been to two pharmacies that look at when they see your medication is a hoisting medicaid i'm for the pharmacy being moved into they're building because i don't think anyone knows what that feels like you have to go into a

pharmacy your status is blasted and people are looking you crazy stigma is alive and well, one quick thing when the man it interacted me was a man that had a disease from another man, if i seen that poster do you really trust them my life might be different today thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello commissioners my name is rosy i have been living have lifting since 1998 they didn't have a pharmacy i traveled to san francisco and in turn i got sick i didn't want to travel to san francisco or walgreens or cvs and now i'm doing better thank you for

asking we have a pharmacy in the clinic and i'm very emotional i'm asking you to please to put yourselves in my shoes i had this disease since 1998 and i'm skiing to please have the pharmacy in the clinic be together so thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon we do need a one-stop shop. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi allison park shawna person live is hiv since 1991 i'm not understanding they're saying there are too many pharmacies in the castro when this is a pharmacy that a f h is there

we're asking for them to relocation and inside one building we'll not have to i'll a diagnosis patient i'll doing enough procedures it is necessary and important to me to be able to go to one place for all my care the pharmacy including the medical thank you for listening. >> is there any additional public comment? >> thank you. >> good evening, commissioners i'm angelica i feel this is a very and i can sense it from the crowd an emotional topic very sticky and debilitate, however, correct me if i am wrong plus a land use meeting and one thing about the land use is that the similarities from

early whatever building or what is changing that is improving the quality of life for individuals so i'm still trying to understand and grand ah f is not smiled on but the principles and practices do help people that does improve the quality of life this is about land by a utilizing a space which ultimately improves the quality of life for individuals so you have a very, very tough job i confined and i know you will do the right thing thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners members of the public those of you who have been here today or

watching on tv seen the testimony in favor of that housing and so it is the first for me for the elizabeth telethon party of san francisco and in general we support the property rights i'm here to speak no opposition to in project i live about 3 blocks away from the proposed project on 16th street and a lot of people mentions the reasons why i think this is going to vote meow no, but anyway i'd like to stress as a sex worker this organization aids health care foundation also repeatedly attacked our history trying to force people to use condoms and it will drive many jobs out of

the state and it is intruding into the personal lives of individuals in a very intimate manner and as mentioned they have particular their executive director michael instop sign acted in a fashion in los angeles i understand their posing the construction housing and putting up 24 hours that blocks his view he makes in ups of served or several thousand dollars a year consider how many buildings and some of the money that ah f is spending and that was spent in other organizations putting into fighting aids and helping people's height finally it is a chain store i don't have is problem with chain stores politically but personally it the no, my first

choice in the neighborhood and you know it is generally an empty kind of storefront uncle not the kind of thing that will attract pedestrian businesses and so forth on castro i think you see that in the number of people from the community and businesses opposed to it i hope ah f will listen to the testimony and realize that aids a organizations have gone off track and next time you want to open up something think about this thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> no 3 minutes is there any additional public comment? >> here's my card. >> my name is michael nolte n o l t y i'm a formally health

department employee so i'm from san francisco. >> the aids health foundation opposed the project meets all the side requirement for the planning code that's what we're here about therefore i'm in support of conditional use authorization i'm not going to get into the side issues that are not relevant to the planning code thank you. >> thank you is there any additional public comment? >> seeing none, public comment is closed before i ask commissioners to speak i want to zoning administrator to give us a history of that parcel there were several questions raised by itself public. >> sure thing this project came to my at the scene of the accident ta in 2014 not the permit to establish the medical use ordering at the end of 2013

a complaint was made for two issues in the castro besides the 2 thousand square feet any change of use needs a confusion from the rarltd to the medical use, and, secondly, concerns of the pharmacy use i issued a suspension letter in 2014 that was appealed by the project sponsor permit holder and at the hearing the board of appeals determined it they upheld the determination that was a formula retail use that the pharmacy a was observing to the medical service modular not meeting the use subject to the controls they found i erred in determining the conditional use authorization was needed they found i

incorrectly estimated they found it two uses i think correctly calculated it by the bathrooms and other structures this was their decision that was a formula retail use that needs to be taking a conditional use authorization substantial to that hearing the permit holder discuses alternatives to operating a health care foundation pharmacy in this location because under the planning code there are 8 different characteristics that if you have 2 more than and 11 locates their a formula retail use so they so you get to revise the proposal and it was character of the defining faechlz they changed the name of the logo 0 operate under castro

pharmacy so with that proposal we released the suspension that was appealed by the neighbors that is the board of appeals the board of appeals had two hearings open this the first hearing an march 19 there was no public comment in support of position i was taking it was only the health care foundation and was not a hearing but subsequent my decision was appealed two hearings one that occurred on june 11th and substantially continued to august 20th on july 8th the board of supervisors adopted the interim controls and stated if you were determined to be a formula retail use but then substantially removed those character farmer's market your no longer a formula retail use you're still with the formula retail use requirement and on the hearing on august 20th the

regulations and the conditional use authorization the board dismissed the appeal as moved because of the sgrrmgz requiring the conditional use authorization for the castro pharmacy and so substantial to that litigation on this matter which they're requesting the city attorney's office are answer in detail but ultimately their submitting as a hacking and the sgmz are lapsed they're coming down as the health care for the conditional use authorization for the formula retail use which is the land use item that is before you for your decision now thank you. >> commissioner antonini. >> well, thank you very interesting discussion i'll tell you the way it looks we'll see it is defining the medical use in automobile pharmacy not increasing the

number of formula retail use because it is basically moving the formula retail portion of it into the same location as the medical clinic so it is just a relocation now a co-location i don't know there was some speakers that talked about how well the neighborhood was informed i would assume that staff has the information regarding if it was properly noticed to you might want to comment if in the case that is fine. >> verna planning department staff this project did go through the proper notification for the combined conditional use authorization and section 312 neighborhood notification 0 it included occupancy within one and 50 feet from property and owners within three hundred foot radius of properties those

consultant groups with the upper market neighborhood and citywide list we have through the planning department and also the poster was post. >> ed. >> this is a land use decision there are problems with disagreement on the ethiccy of the medication people will disagree that happens sometimes and brought up one of the project sponsors was opposed to this it blocks his view has nothing to do with people come up with projects that block their views but sometimes you have to look at their particular promotions dependent of the positions on other issues so the previous there was talk about

the space used for other things there will be a vacant on 18th street street that could be used for retail formula it is close to the instagram same practical medical clinics have a medical clinic on site it make sense someone is getting treatment in the process of their exam are treatment they're told to get a particular prescription they can do it makes it a lot easier and talk about the hours not been very widespread 9 to 7 weekend and 9 to 12 on saturdays it is a fairly good part of the week that is open i'm sure there is a possibility with some desire to leave it on longer there is no no prohibition from having it be

open for hours as someone requested that so generally favorable on the issue i'll see what my fellow commissioners have to say. >> commissioner hillis. >> thank you i agree many of the speakers plus a land use issue controversial and issues about few organizations but ultimately, you know, this cu requirement for formula retail use was put in place to give the neighborhoods a place at it hearing of how they president in their neighborhood to look and feel when those items come up a great weight in what the neighbors and merchant have to say starbuck's on 18th street in the castro we did it when we heard the peck express neither on them terrible use but the goal to give the neighborhood a voice and helps them determine

how they want their neighborhood to look so what troubles me is that you know we don't see a lot of support from the merchant organizations are merchant or folks that are offering with the residents in this neighborhood and ultimately this is kind of where i put my decision and this not as many neighborhood folks it is not a active use and we had a active use in a medical office building this ultimate was approved i wouldn't support it i wasn't here when we voted but i have trouble with the active use ground floor and in a hive active commercial corridor so i can't be supportive. >> zoning administrator sanchez. >> apologizes one correction

the interim controls are still in effect working with - but nonetheless this is the permanent controls as retail formula i can identify and commissioner antonini the question about the hours of operation is between 6 and 2:00 a.m. you this is at he'll discussion of land use and the prepares of 11 pharmacies that is serving the community properly and in a desirable manner i can't really hear the communities with that collective voice from other aspects from the groups aids foundation e supporting this particular suggestion and i can't support it as proposed. >> commissioner wu. >> thanks so on the land use

issue and the question on necessary and desirable i think that the concentration of formula retail use is the question and the available of out pharmacy there maybe 11 in the neighborhood but specifically 3 within one block walk and that seems reasonable in terms of having the accessibility to pharmacy so i will not be supporting this. >> question for the project sponsor we when we you know aids in castro is is a the center the universe this is a bustling center i know that and it is a bustling center of commerce the community benefit district did an economic survey in terms of what the neighborhood needs, etc. we - the corridor came back

with real issues in terms of foot traffic, making the castro have more people come from the region not nationally the question is every time we have a medical cannabis dispensary come before us they always have really quick to tell us you how many clients within a two block are 10 block area can you at the time let us know about this neighborhood. >> we did receive those questions we denied those questions on the prioritization of the our patients total number. >> sorry. >> total number. >> i don't have that number i can't talk about that that was the reason for our patients. >> the reason i'm asking that i live two blocks away over the

past couple of quitclaims weeks i i know this is coming a couple of months ago every time i walk by i don't see anyone limiting i'm wondering who those places are serve what worries me their 3 in from the corner you have coffee shops and closer to the corner the muni stop i worry about creating what i've seen another the dead space any comments on that. >> actually, it sounds like assuming again there was going there but what is happening there you're seeing the elimination of a dead space two spies pa are apparently not a lot of foot traffic so again, the other space is opened up it

will be for other retail purposes and serve the patient. >> if we were to did not conditional use authorization today, if the other half the 4 thousand square feet the zoning administrator mentioned we have a space nothing it happening would you create a lively retail space. >> we're using to showcase local artist but we're doing potentially for the shiners and liability concerns it is unclear maybe will stay vacant we're interested in serve our patient with what trust their health you don't i can't specify

one of the thoughts i had based on where we went with the phillies coffee that is not exactly the same thing we have phil's down clearly far on the side street a lot of foot traffic that benefits the local merchants in the vicinity and not benefiting me but so whatever i would make my decision a based on the fact you've a you'll create a lively corridors on castro commissioner johnson. >> thank you i'm going to be supportive of ccii conditional use i aligned closely of the letters we received and the e-mails i listened to the public comment i'm as a commissioner, i try to be cafeteria not to stretch the distinction of necessary and

desirable too much i really feel from what i've heard are lots of issues that are i'm stretched to relate them to the land use issues here i think there is a lot of things going on there is something that go going on with this project a number of issues but to me, i'm having a hard time connecting them to the question of the location of this use in f this space if i had to make i think there was comparisons made to when we talked about there recent starbuck's and coffee in the area i'm actually prepared more and more when we were talking about the aids housing in marina that is where my mind goes with with the types of commented i've heard i'll be supportive of it and i think that this is something that is moving around the corner i echo commissioner

hillis comment i was there for the vote on the use of valencia but knowing this corner pretty well, i think having bee there quite a bit i know that this is not necessarily something that is a distraction in the space and many in many senses i don't see the problems from around the block. >> commissioner hillis. >> i appreciate commissioner johnsons comments but ultimate we're voting on at least forces me, i'm voting on formula retail for the neighborhoods in their merchants district so i would make a motion i think we're doing an intent to disapprove. >> make a motion. >> yes. yes. >> intent to disapprove. >> second. >> one of the things i'd like

to a do to the discussion on the medical facility only valencia we asked to a to activate the front with a pop up stand or something to make sure they were attracting people not just a strict medical use and a livelyness there. >> commissioners another motion seconded to adopt a motion of intent to disapprove is there a particular date. >> a couple of weeks staff is that good. >> oh, two weeks. >> 2 weeks the motion to continue this matter to june 28th will give you one week to draft a motion. >> it's acceptable. >> okay. >> can i comment before. >> thanks

i'm going to vote against the motion but only you can hope 9 project sponsor comes back weeks ago a better answer of the activate this part of the store that commissioner richards is suggested to make that more active at a time a land use the relocation is not a problem but not wanting to see the dead space there. >> commissioners - commissioner moore. >> the simple idea of activation you have to look at the one on valencia it was a new building we saw the building design to make something happened i questioned that in the discussion i'd like to put in here we can't hang our decision on this might work we have an established setback in

the form the setback between small retail developments and not enough a lot of room to imagine that you can activate it is a very somewhat not hiv on what the real issues are. >> project sponsor you have a comment. >> ? >> i apologize. i may have misunderstood our point from the question was this permit were to say approved and then would there take additional steps to put- >> if it was not approved. >> oh, not approved again, if we saw the pharmacy in one place what we can do with with that counter vacant space. >> thank you. >> commissioners a motion seconded to adopt the motion of

intent to disapproval to january 28th. >> commissioner antonini no commissioner hillis commissioner johnson san francisco commissioner moore commissioner wu and commissioner richards so moved, commissioners, that motion passes 4 to 2 with commissioner antonini and commissioner johnson voting against. >> commissioners that places us on items 13 ab hyde street a conditional use authorization of the deserve will consider a request for variance. >> good evening vice president roanoke city and planning department staff this is a request for a confusion to go

allow the building to expose the zones on a down sloping vacant lots on hyde street is it bound by hyde street to the north and is located within the r.c. commercial high density district in a health and bilk district that was occupied by a 4 story construction in 1915 contributing resources to the knob hill agreement that building was destroyed by a fire in 2010 and since been removed resulting vacant lot is non-interesty property is a crosswalk of 43 foot tall and elevator penthouses, 5 story over basement and 25 hundred feet on the lot and provide 9

studios, one bedroom unit and 5, one bedroom unit for 15 dwlz and is 9 feet below grade in order to accommodate the basement no off-street parking is provided on this project. >> the project requires conditional use authorization pursuant to the planning code to allow the structure to exceed the height even if the underlying allows for 80 feet in height the code nonetheless required the planning commission to hear it for two variances and section 136 of the planning code allows the streetscape to extend over the street by the subject

property meeting concern requirement the project proposes bay windows at the second to fifth floor and the bay windows on those floors exceed the dimensions for the features listed within the code so therefore the variance is required it requires actually street variances residential use are considered active only restraining order percent of the frontage at the ground floor is featuring way. a walk up direct access to a public sidewalk it is 25 feet wide and the residential use on the empowering that don't provide the straight assess to the sidewalks there are access is required we've received two inquires and one letter of opposition that one letter after

the packet deadline and it is right here it is nrnl with the compatible neighborhood and satisfies this fees in the establishment the malice at a rate to equality of 25 percent and encourage the public transportation by not providing the off-street parking and fill the gap that will compliment and not compete with the knob hill historic district and lastly the streetscape with 1 now street tree and one class two bike space pare the department recommend approval to insure that the new this will not impact the neighborhood and based on those in the case

department the staff recommends approval and it applies with all applicable codes and consistent with the general plan that concludes my presentation. i'm available to answer any questions thank you. >> hi what? project sponsor. >> so sorry. >> commissioners mr. sanchez good afternoon or good evening whatever it is outside i'm joseph the dine architect for this project and i'm working with rudy architects sfgovtv if we could get to the computer please thank you. >> are we all set okay. as, i.e., was saying i'm the design architect on this project and

working or work with rudy architect with the architectures on hyde street since you've already have received a rather comprehensive package from staff from all the facts and figures i'll skip that and talk about what we're trying to achieve and how the building works as you may know san francisco really need these more housing our client in the define challenged us to maximize the density many this building and still within type 5 wood-frame building by stores we were able to accomplish that by developing efficient very liveable small studio and one bedroom plans we also used the national slope and grade to get an additional unit in the basement and end up with 15 unit which pretty sure maxed out the site religious are not

micro reasonable person bare bones unit those are furnishable and adequate closest space next slide, please another goal to be a good neighborhood if you look at our parcel in the center there the shape of our building and if you look at the height we're compatible and suitable to the neighborhood this is pretty much the scale and the bulk of the adjacent buildings and the gap in the middle in the street is our site next slide this site plans the footprint of our this and to the rear the required 25 percent rieshgd which last includes 4 hundred and 5 quote of common office space there on the ground and

supplemented by an additional 4 hundred plus square feet on the roof next slide that is the building section this is hunch how the building works and demonstrates if you look at the lower right you'll see how the day and night unit works and in reality it is real really only two feet below grade on the rear side so next slide - now we get into the various floor plans level by level in the basement in addition to the one bedroom units towards the rear we also have a laundry did that mouse work let's see there we go. >> we have a laundry facility we have storage for 15 class one bike spaces, we have room for

mechanical and electrical, and in addition, we provide both elevator and stair access to the rear yard at the basement level next slide by keeping the building entry on the high side of site no go back - >> we are able to keep the first floor high enough grade to limit the amount of excavation for the blow that and in addition by keeping the elevator in the middle of the building we have a studio unit and all the exposure in the back for a one bedroom units north side this is a typical floor it demonstrates pretty much what we're trying to do with the floor plans

if you look at this you'll see the elevator and the two stared and the corridor actually take up 35 percent of the whole floor in a small building it is difficult to have an additional we've tried to be efficient in the unit plans themselves no says that a wasted we tried to incorporate the bay windows to make them contiguous with the rooms they're in and in the front 5 or 4 hundred and 50 square feet units a bath and kitchen what san francisco plaza with the bay windows tied if we create a furnishable area we can get in a chair and sofa and a descent amount of furniture in

back in addition those of course are larger 6 hundred and 5 square feet but using the bay windows we can get a extra desk space and more furniture in the living room and in addition to the full assessable bathroom, and kitchen a small walk-in closet we're providing as many amenities as possible in small spaces that a roof plan where we have the additional 44 hundred plus square feet of open space okay front elevation i wish this year large we worked with the historic resources planner to come up with something he said to be more of a modern building but realized that we have in

historic district and we have to do a building that is compatible we worked together and came up with this facade it is sort of a modern versions of a typically lot building in the neighborhood bay windows and project by project cornice and a claeventd base the primary materials for the facade are porcelain tile in strips 4 inch high strips that more or less will resemble symsomewhat some of the brick buildings in the neighborhood and at the base to have differential we're using the 8 inch tile the coloration is a light gray on the top and the darker shade at the bottom the bay windows are constructed we can get it in

the budget with aluminum sash and mostly all glass the upper part of the windows of vision glass and the rail desk height below more translucent glass that affords privacy that allows alter light to let in as much light as possible to make the unit feel large the rear elevation and the one side of the building that is exposed will be stucco and the rear side has a bay windows similar in construction and materials to the bay windows in the front and with that, i want to thank you for giving us the opportunity to present and hope it is well received and i'll be

happy to answer any questions you may have. >> regarding the building. >> thank you very much opening it up for public comment. >> i have two speaker cards bill you can speak once for this issue. >> that's fine. >> yeah. i'm bill the manager the light chronically properties that owns the building on hyde street immediately to the left of the hyde street project site when the fire broke out in october 2010 it was a little bit over 5 years we're getting close to completion soon, we'll be able to rent out the building

when we first learned the previous owner wanted to build an additional story in may of 2014 i contacted the staff we obtained it blocks off some the lightwell openings if by the look at the preamble of the draft motion it didn't have many any of that in there we have several concerns about the project but the one that primarily relate to the confusion is the fact that it would block off two lightwell openings and at least 6 windows at the top floor the building. >> i'm going to show you a picture i took recently at the

top floor 1 or 2 units a brainstorm and this pretty obviously two lightwell openings what's not 0 obvious there are two small bedroom windows in the back that opens up and at the end of the building there is these windows from what i can tell it look the project is going to be built before the last column of windows i'm not sure about that but anyways all the openings the windows and the lightwell openings were there before the fire and this additional story is built will block of access to

light and air so for those reasons we oppose the request to grant the conditional use authorization asking as for the variances well, they're windows that will be pursuing out looks like it will not block one of our windows still we feel that the frontage they're proposing. >> sir, your time is up. >> thank you sir, and is there any additional public comment? >> seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner moore. >> the zoning administrator scott sanchez the draurlgz in front of us that describe the buildings adjoining the property to the extent it the next door neighbors is describing the

property windows i think that discussion raises questions that ask you to address as far as necessary living space did the windows have to be protected address that and i'll make my comments. >> surely to yes to our point will the property line windows in regards to how the department it varies they're not legal property line windows that is a question about whether or not they should be retained and the department didn't require those matched lightwells is something that is historically you honor and match and from the photos it is unclear in the openings are lightwell i think i don't know

if staff had the time to digest those materials or discuss them with the design folks right off wouldn't necessarily in every case require the setbacks from the property line windows in the building code you're required to sustain the light and air from your own property not require taking from someone else's property this is something we need to look at see if those are actual windows. >> so to the buildings that were built prior to that part of code so have special consideration they need to prove that the windows that are behind those openings are indeed illuminating the living space rather than a closet or perhaps a bathroom, with that not clear

it raises the question how to address the issue that may arise but i want to skip forward and leave that to ask us to continue but talk about the building itself the building is in the setting of traditional guess so with the harmonious is acting in a way no jarring bay windows how they respectfully represent the windows and how they create a good residential environment and in the case of what is proposed to us on a relatively small lot 25 foot by 84 to have 15 units it is quite and feat

and pushing the envelope but code compliant to the design where it is a variance on the bay window extending over public right-of-way and this is perhaps a point for me, i want to tee off on i believe that the building is in current configuration if at all borrow from this skilled language of how windows are placed and how they're really and i what did the facade i'm doing i see a need at the top of the building supporting a entry co-pay with rather than a cornice that those types of buildings are wrapped around the corner this corner stops as a entry co-pay i don't understand why it doesn't wrap the corner i

don't want an answer i want to continue when i look at the unit design and look at the variances i'm committed to conduct perhaps this building could be harmonious with the neighbors it is flip the studio unit to the back and take the one bedroom unit from the front that allows us 80 a simpler bay window design which could potentially be code compliant with the sidewalks variance from a harmonious point of view from the elevation from the street there could be even a not just a modern notify bay it sets too

far over to the side that new year's eve the awkwardness of the design i'm staring at this this is consistent in any criticism if this building want to do judgment with the department i'll be able to consider it and also like to see a much, much more vigorous tension charge kind of materials in a more convicts daily and add to the commissioners is if we flipped the studios to the back what we would do probably flip the elevators to the front and the stair to the elevator to the back and the stair to the front in other words, to it have a proper balance and with the studio in the back ground floor we have a much better way and a

gracious way to assess the open space it is shared open space they're coming to an stealing narrow space this building a improveable even with the 15 units the designers can flip it and make tweaks and have the department look at the facade the single bay was grashdzly designed probable keeping the corners creativity to the view but this is what the minimal i'll ask for further to that tracking the cornice line with the co-pay wrapping around and getting rid of the knee brace if you design a well portion well

detailed cornice you don't need that that asking is my comments i'll leave to the other commissioners to envision what i'm trying to say. >> commissioner antonini. >> i agree with commissioner moore i like the project a really good idea creates housing but i think we can do more probation officer make pa more compatible with the neighbors that is a district that guess fairly uniform in period and some kind of and style and the two buildings adjoining it i agree with the base would make that look better and definite cornice the entryway you see the oldest building we'll put elements to make that more you know welcoming and look more

like the actual front of the building that looks like a hole at the door are faster the windows i think on older buildings it should be a replacement of windows wood they ouch have to be dealt with what the building had before i can't tell was the adjacent buildings probable the right is enclass to project sponsor will those windows open and wharf are they. >> come up to the mike, sir. >> the operational stash is the strirmg sprirlg of both kinds of windows. >> the ones to the right a encased but sure that part is fine i'd like to see i know you talked about light and letting

light in somehow those buildings have plenty of light with windows that go floor to ceiling with the stucco and nice medallions with those that give character so i would like to see something on the bottom part of windows to possible put more wood there or something not glass after the bottom unit but more like part of rest of the neighborhood so those are in some of my suggests i'm in support it needs design changes that would you know you've done a lot of good things the color on the bottom matches the building to the right the idea that commissioner moore said about flipping the unit might allow to dot phasing base but maybe the base with other things even if you didn't make

the flipping have the squad c * square base and this is flat and comes in with the anal those are 45 degrees. >> i don't know that so that would be a lot better i think you've let in more light at 45 it is possible i'll see what my fellow commissioners have to say. >> commissioner moore. >> in order to redesign the facade and bring that give the narrow water of the building it is not about objecting two base it is inconsequential we want to flip the one bedroom the larger bedroom unit in in front and put the studio in the back the smaller phased or the rear part of the live building a not as

consequential to the elevation of all buildings to each other that's a suggestion for the larger unit in front. >> i echo with my fellow commissioners, i look for a higher quality and commissioner moore wanted about the change i agree and like to see a pallet and will bring in a material pallet all excuse me. congratulations mr. vice president to achieve you folks added in terms of design changes a. >> commissioner antonini. >> i'm probable okay. i don't know if commissioner moore want

to bring this back. >> i think the project should come back i on a good learning experience not a pro transacted meeting but help all of us i flu fully trust the department to direct what is the needs to be done a nod from the - not an expensive configuration but should come back. >> i'm going to move to continue jonas when do you think we could have the availability to see that. >> commissioners i'll only say through march you have very, very full calendar so at this point if architect would like how many times will you need. >> to make those changes as

far as the changes it is easy, however, flipping the building that will take more fit to make sure everything works i see your point in that the larger bays are more transmittal i critical to the studios and more leeway. >> sir, i'm sorry i'm kind of occurs how much time. >> probable two or three weeks. >> may i interrupt the clarification on the windows that needs to be included i hope you'll find a way with the adjoining neighbors help to clarify what those windows and lightwell and that needs to be rescued. >> that is what the department

of building inspection. >> may i comment on the late. >> commission is in agreement to continue the item you can work with staff open that we're picking a date. >> what about the 17. >> 17 of march that's good. >> okay. >> the only sooner one we can add it to say march third. >> quite honestly we're in a pickle because commissioner johnson will be out for a few months and so it maybe impact at items on the calendar so i guess caution us to be more weary of

that it impacts our year so the third and or 17. >> that's entirely up to you commissioners. >> 17. >> you have so many of the same type of case. >> it is the motion makers. >> i guess i was the one making the motion i'll go for the third because the gentleman said there is a chance their may be projects that need a full claushd but some might drop off and the third is too jams we can move it back to earlier giving us the opportunity to hear it sooner i'm move to the third.

>> second. >> thank you, commissioners on that motion to continue commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner wu commissioner richards so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimous 6 to zero commissioners zoning administrator what say you. >> we would keep the public hearing open and to remove from the variances. >> commissioners that places you under our discretionary review authorization calendar two have been withdrawn and place you on item 15 21st street and i bed-and-breakfast discretionary

review. >> southwest team leader on 3790 and the 221st street on the northeast corner in it is a 17 hundred square feet and 15 feet on the - along 21st street the exit structure a 21 hundred square feet and overwhelmingly constructed a third story roof deck and excavation to create a basement level and interior of remodel that includes the changes the location if the parking replacement of two garage doors as well as the reconversion or configuration of

the windows and doorways the residential design team reviewed it prior to the filing and raised by the dr requester were not necessary and desirable the proposed massing is appropriate as the project in the corner building have the opportunity to other 3 story buildings along the street the response the dr requester instructed the project sponsor do the revisions they're the official revisions excluding the parapet and strongest roof caps with the public right-of-way and information on this facades the materials and the quality and finishes and improvements to the first too floors that relate to the vertical part and the - rdt

are the says there is noting nothing necessary and desirable and approve as prepared i've provide with an up to date version of the rendering as well as the material pallet i'll handout to the commissioners that concludes my presentation. >> dr requester you have 5 minutes. >> (inaudible). >> can you speak up, please. >> and i'm here both many replacement of the dr requester ellen she's ill and the person is a presenter and i talked to her and reviewed here testimony

if you or so inclined i'd like to proceeded to testimony. >> please. we filed i'll add also the chair the land use committee of the florl heights we filed this discretionary review first, the height and mass the proposed project with a 50 foot facade with no setback is out of scale in my opinion it is a problematic design is finally in the review the revised plans the flat is redesigned to be a subterranean studio in the basement it is effectively wiping out an existing first floor flat we lose a multi union unit when san

francisco is in a housing crisis those are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances i'd like to state 8 neighbors here along with other neighbors that oppose the project as property openly on the height and mass the curre the current buildings can you turn that on please the two story structures with a 50 foot facade it is important we think about the orientation of that proposed building it is also oriented faced 21st street and that is in my opinion an important issue relating to the design the proposed project adds a floor above and excavates a floor blow
