without that facade. sure, if you kept the whole building and you were able to put housing above it and kept that but none of those alternatives were eventually going to do that. so i was comfortable with that decision. but i think that, you know, you think that the projects are heading down the wrong path and there's a viable alternative that gets the program, getting the affordable housing and gets the housing, you know, -- you know, and again on 333 california, you might be able to get the program elsewhere, we'll see as that goes through the process whether that is the case or not. but i would suggest that you do that. >> okay. commissioner richards was on the board. and then commissioner hyland. >> what is interesting is that there seems to be a disconnect between your good ideas and the scoping process. so i would love to have your alternative like you said on 333 california as one of the alternatives, literally listed in the e.i.r., you know, with all of the different aspects of it and it's hard he

the facade has been called one of the country's most elegant art deco designs.he building retains many of its art deco interior features as well, such as wood paneling and a green and black ceramic water fountain in the lobby. the building has been in constant use as an institutional facility, both as a community facility at its inception and as a religious institution by the high temple. since its construction in 1930. in addition to the letter voicing support for the rezoning of a nearby residence which was included in your packet, the department received six additional e-mails after the packets were published which i have for you ♪ for your distribution. the six e-mails expressed concern. the department recommends that the commission approve the proposed ordinance because it will establish a clear and uniform zoning for site. it's designed for community facility use and operated as an institutional use since construction. the purchase of this building for communitied use as community facility will ensure that the historic resources further preserved and a cul

when one up fitness saw the beautiful building at 799 van ness they want to maintain the facade. there were modifications to the internal components so no changes were made to the exterior and the windows would remain. and any construction would be internal improvements and structural upgrades. all efforts were made to preserve the character defining architecturally beautiful features of this building. while we can appreciate the planning department's recommendation to remove the rolling doors on eddie street and the remaining rolling door on lark street that will not be in use we're reluctant to replace them with new windows or entrances. i might have a quick picture here. and as you can see on this photo on eddie street there's already six large floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor and the exterior wall has 89% visibility with 18 openings and two doors that already provide transparency along eddie street. we wanted to keep the roll-up door to not only provide a level of privacy to the gym located behind it, but also because we're trying to preserve the historical buildin
