the project is located within the rh-2 district. the concerns of the d.r. applications are outlined as follows. under the first d.r., there's too much intrusion into the midblock opening space relative to neighboring properties. a new driveway and curb cut would be dangerous to pedestrians and propose a relocation of the garage to the downhill side? and lastly, under that first d.r., a top floor should be required to lineup with the rear of the adjacent property, the uphill neighbor with a 5 foot set back to protect light and air? second d.r. filed, first point, the facade is too modern and not in keeping with the neighborhood character? second point, the total building height is too tall and doesn't appropriately step down the hill. the residential design advisory team reviewed the project following a submittal of request for discretionary review and found the project does not demonstrate exceptional or extraordinary circumstances and therefore -- and meets the standards for the residential design guidelines. the department has received from the project sp

there's five in rh 1. all of these are 234 existing buildings, and the appraisal, the first one was done on the 5th of january . it was right on the money, 1.63. nine days later, they got it 45,000 over. i'm not trying to make you feel guilty or castigate you, just think about this: is it worth demolishing a sound house that you could put an adu in, and you talked about the numbers that commissioner richards just talked about with a salary, does that all make sense, and i don't think so, but thank you. >> president hillis: all right. thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi. my name's john garner. thank you for making the time to hear my point. my partner and i are small developers who focus on glg adu's within the envelopes of existing multifamily buildings. one of the biggest challenges we face is the slow pace of adu permitting and approval. it typically takes the city 12 months for final approval of adu's, the planning portion of this adu is typically about six months. this processing delay has three maj

a lot of property -- this is an rh-1, 25% rear yard requirement. a lot of properties are shorter in the yard, but there are a few right in the midblock that do take up the similar massing that we felt that these owners were entitled to. in response to some of the comments, we did -- we did extend the first floor all the way to the 25% rear yard line but then stepped back the second and third floors and brought the second and third floors stepping back as a bit of a pancake -- or wedding cake, excuse me, form to reduce the mass. so we felt that this was kind of similar to the...3 buildings just to the north of our building. the subject property between the two larger buildings or the adjacent property between the two larger buildings, he was at the pre-op meeting, and he voiced someme comments, but overall, he liked the project. he did not write a letter of approval. i did speak to the neighbor to the south. she was also concerned about light, and i did mention to her that it was to

about extensions to an already megamansion that the developer builds to the maximum limit allowed in rh-2 zones, 55% of the lot. and they take the 55%, and then they add the pop out on top of that. so this is another case for serial permitting. we were here two, three weeks ago, with a joint bic and planning commission hearing, and what were we talking about? the loss of trust. this is not going to encourage a transparent process. so allowing pop ups -- pop outs to be permits as an over the counter is not prudent. commissioners, my last word, this is sb 827, in your back yard. we were here fighting for continuing local controls. we are the local controls because in the city of san francisco, the public is involved in local controls. so please, reject this-and extend it. extend the -- well, you know what i mean. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you. miss hilton. >> good afternoon, commissioners. rose hilton, executive director, 1702 specifically states it's not intended to constrain the intent of the public to forally comment on projects. that's true. we're here commenting on j pros
