Thank you very much for allowing me to walk you through, excuse me, the nomination. Most of the purpose of this is to show you some photos, as youll hear the Planning Department didnt receive the photos. And probably all of you could have written three quarters of the nomination from what you know about the building. Im not going to bother reading off all the bullet points here about the building. And really just try to concentrate on the photos. This is the entry portal which unfortunately in the 60s was modified and removed. It is a still characterdefining feature. Heres the building when viewed looking west on golden gate avenue. These are two of the most important character defining interior spaces above this. A mens gym and below in the basement is the Swimming Pool. The carpeted area in blue carpet. It covers the Swimming Pool, which is still there because tndc didnt need a Swimming Pool and couldnt operate one. This is the main lobby on the second floor looking down the grand st
But fast forward to all the things that happened post world war ii as well. Theres many communitis that benefited and continue to benefit. Yeah. If its it may be a simple fix like bullet points, stating the number of programmes and theres already a good bit of information in the nomination, just expanding that a little bit further. Right. We could rely on this information, you know, for nominations at other levels and other Historic Context statements could use this information. Right. Thank you. Commissioner pearlman. Can i ask about the need for speed. Were talking about cramming a lot of information and deadlines and up to the 16 days from now is friday, february 2.

So, mr. Frye . Commissioners, i was going to reframe what our thinking of the process would be moving forward is if
Order to inform exactly how much retail we should have, how it should be sized and placed within the site. We studied the sizes of the shops from how many different the range of the sizes of the shops, how many were on each block, what is the difference between a corner store with a restaurant and a midblock shop, and we looked to emulate these features that were really consistent across the city in mission rock, which we believe will be the main street of mission bay. We actually went so far as to introduce an entirely different chapter of our controls. Just to preview it, weve had the urban design team and the architecture Landscape Team Work Together to ensure that those retail spaces on the ground floor of each of our buildings is really working to activate and enhance the public realm along the streets themselves. Well also be looking at a siteside programmisit siteside programming for all of the retail, so well be taking a holistic approach to look at where the restaurants should
