The Development Pattern germane and clear, even from this very small map thats in front of us. You see the shapes of how buildings orient their size, etc. . Thats a question that i would have to ask. There is no proposal to merge these lots or reconfigure the lots at this point. So they could do a lot of things. They could leave it as three separate lots as it is now. They could rearrange it to be in three different configurations that theyre talking to to match the pattern of the neighborhood or they could merge it for a Larger Development there. We dont know what the owner of the property is going to do with those lots. Commissioner moore by agreeing to the merging, were abandoning the ability to influence outcome. You are not agreeing to a merging. You are only agreeing to a rezoning of it. At the end of this hearing, its still three lots. We know there will be come on. The lots are unbuildable. The two lots to greystone terrace, cannot be built on. So they have to do something with them. Commissioner moore and thats when later on our own influence or the neighborhoods desires can be better expressed. Correct. The lots would have to conform to the planning code and whatever is developed on there would go through neighborhood notification and go through ceqa environmental review. Commissioner moore r2 would be more comfortable to me than rm. We could make theres a whole Settlement Agreement and i think we could make recommendations on how thats configured. It could be rm1, but divide it into if you look at the lots to the greystone side, its as big as those two lots combined, which has massive buildings on them. Its fine. We want housing, but i dont know if i would want to see a development thats kind of that size on these two lots. I just want to understand what the planning rationale is. Were creating the biggest lot in this neighborhood by doing this, which makes me uneasy. Commissioner richards im uneasy as well. Whoever litigated this has a sliver or a pizza slice with nothing on it. Theyre leveraging the fact that theyre land locked to get a huge lot to build a Windfall Development on and we have one probably 1 4 mile away thats contentious already. I would not support this unless we have a Development Pattern that exists in the neighborhood rather than creating this gargantuan lot. Well have another roosevelt17th on our hands. Well be happy to do it when the d. R. Arrives, which it will. Commissioner koppel arent we trying to create the potential for developmentally dense housing . Commissioner richards we are, but i would be more comfortable with density than a garr huge project. The board of supervisors can do what they want with this, but i think we owe it to the board and the neighbors to make that recommendation. I dont think i have enough information to make that. If we can get more information on the Development Potential and what we anticipate development to look like, and we can make a recommendation on just a little more it may not be taken. We can say, recommend this and divide it into two lots. Thats not necessarily in zoning, but in the agreement. [please stand by] commissioner richards . Vice president richards move to continue this item to january 18th. Commissioner moore second. President hillis i feel back. Commissioner johns bad. Commissioner johnson wont be here to hear this. Clerk commissioners, there is a motion to continue this until january 18th. [ roll call. ] clerk so moved, that motion passes 43 with commissioners fong, johnson, koppel voting against. Commissioners, thatll place us on item 12 tor 20181859coa, at 2039 post street. Good afternoon, im mary woods of department staff. The applicant is seeking a motion to allow a change of use from a Grocery Store to surgery center. Its currently located at 1635 divisadero street since 1989. Its in a building containing about 13,000 square feet. The current proposal at 1336 post street is approximately 34,600 square feet on the ground floor of a six story mixeduse building. The proposal is also to reconfigure the existing 72 Parking Spaces to 87 Parking Spaces with 20 valet spaces. Theres currently one loading space which would be maintained for ups or fedex deliveries during regular Business Hours from monday through friday only. The clinic is not open during the weekend. There are currently no bicycle spaces onsite. The proposal will propose nine bicycle spaces, five class one and four class two. The project is in a 130 foot e high and boat district. The zoning for the site is nc3, which requires cu for a changing use from Grocery Store to another use. Since last week, staff has received one letter in support of the project, and one letter from a neighbor who had questions, which the sponsor had adequately addressed. The departments recommendation is to approve with conditions. This concludes my summary of the project and im available to take any questions. Thank you. Thank you, miss woods. Project sponsor. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners. Jodi knight on above of reuben, junius and rose. As you know, the project proposes to make a use of a long vacant site for use avenue an ambulatory and surgery center. It will provide increased services. Theres a significant demand which youll hear from the project sponsor whos here today, particularly for outpatient joint service. It has off street passenger loading, materials loading and sufficient garage parking. Its a clean and quiet use which is compatible with the residential uses above. We have had considerable support from the hoa, which really would like to see some use on the ground floor. There are security concerns about a vacant ground floor, but really has no interest in having a Grocery Store down there. Regardless of the interest, theres been no market interest. This has been a longvacant property. Its been marketed to a number of other uses and nobody else has wanted to move in, so this is really the perfect solution. I know were here today because of the requirement for cu for removal of a Grocery Store. There has not been a Grocery Store there for a long time, but i know thats an issue thats concern of the commission. There 14 Grocery Stores within one mile of the site, and i do have a map showing the four largest Grocery Store facilities within approximately a half mile, so you can see theres several large stores, and then, theres a number of smaller stores. But there are sufficient access to groceries in this area, and presidio administrator jessie scott is here to provide you some more information. The architect is also here today, and were happy to take any questions. Thank you. Hi. Im jessie. Im the administrator of the surgery center, and i just wanted to let you guys know a little bit about who we are and why we wanted to move. We currently have fife operating rooms and one procedure rooms, and we want to move desperate to seven surgery rooms and one procedure rooms. We are the only Outpatient Surgery Center where patients can get that service in San Francisco, and we are the first center of any kind, hospital or anything in california, to be recognized by the joint commission who awarded us advanced certification for total hip and knee replacement. The what we bring to the community is really a lower cost and Higher Quality alternative to a hospital, so im not sure if you have any questions about what we would be doing in there, but im happy to answer them. President hillis we may. Were going to open it up to Public Comment first, and then, well ask you questions. Okay. President hillis is there any Public Comment on this item . Good evening, commissioners. My name is mike ocassidy. I just happened to be here listening to this. I believe i was in one of these rooms maybe two months ago, and i hope i hope you can see its a great place. They do great work if you get messed up like i did, so i hope you approve the project. Thank you. President hillis thank you. Any additional Public Comment on this item . Seeing none, well open it up to commissioner comments and questions. Commissioner moore . Commissioner moore the only question i had, one, the capability was Health Service on a ground floor, which we considered and discussed at length a few weeks ago in other neighborhoods, the nonanimation factor of Health Care Services on ground floor in general. Thirdly, the question of the capabili compatiblity with this site and those listed above. Theres a concern of staff that there may be the potential of patients having to stay over night. Thirdly, the disposal of surgery and medical waste, which is a concern, residential and medical waste because polls of that scale really are not compatible. Vacating 13,000 square feet in what is currently a Health Care District around mt. Zion and divisadero and now moving it close to cpmc which is a block over, and creating what we originally were very concerned about, for lack of a better word, calling it pill hill. So i have these concerns, and particularly when it comes to the idea of combining medical services with residential ab e above. I know this site because when i worked with the city, i think we were trying to do with this i think it was calla there when it closed. Its an odd site, so i get the concern about having health care on a ground floor site, but i think here, it doesnt trouble me, given, you know, if you start going west from this site on post, there really isnt any additional commercial and its a pretty sleepy street, as far as pedestrian activity. And given the hoa support i saw, im in support of this place. I think its a tough place to put back a Grocery Store or Something Like that in this space. Im in support of this, and it seems to have the support of the hoa. Commissioner koppel . Im in support also. I see the franklins and vannesses that are going to be better travelled, that might be a better location of a Grocery Store, but due to the length of the vacancy and this spot, that it does have a potential tenant, im supportive. President hillis commissioner moore . Commissioner moore id like to ask mr. Lindsey or perhaps the director from the Medical Center to speak about Waste Disposal and to hear about what youre going to do to make it compatible with residential. Were what is considered a small waste generator by the city of San Francisco, and we have permits for that. It is 95 sharps containers. We contract with stericycle. We keeped them bagged up, and they come once a week and collect it. We have red bag waste. Theres no radio activity. I know some of the neighbors had asked about that. How about your comment about overnight stay . That is something which concerned me a little bit because overnight stay in any kind of facility requires a different kind of back up and onsite provision of food services, etcetera. Could you get into that a little bit . . Yeah. Our licensing is for a 23 hour stay, so we can, by license, keep people up to 23 hours and 59 minutes. We do, right now, probably two or three nights a week, have patients that stay over for extended recovery. That might grow a little bit, and what we do, we have a food handling service, and we bring in all the food for those patients, so theres not food kept onsite or bringing rats or anything like that. We go on lockdown at 9 00, and theres a security guard, which was actually a plus for the neighborhood, and obviously, if we do have people that are sleeping over, they are recovering from surgery, so we want it quiet, we want it peaceful for them, certainly not any noise or. Commissioner moore have you undertaken any measures for facade maneuvering because we all know those sizes do not do have a very street friendly experience. The Grocery Store had frosted glass. Right now, it looks like painted windows. If you have questions, the architect is here. Were making sure that the lobby that faces all of those windows is kind of a livly lobby that fits the city. Were asking for something that doesnt look quite so medical. I want something that would feel like its a younger, vibrant city. We want a tech look. Some people plug in, plug in their laptops while theyre waiting on their procedure. Like, if you walk by, some people are working. Perhaps the architect could briefly explain it to the commission with some pictures, if you can. Yes. The existing windows across the front of the building on post street will remain. We have a 25feetdeep lobby and reception area that meets the active use requirement. It would also have high ceilings, and thats westbound were not changing the exterior of the building. The existing entrance, were reusing, and its inside the parking area, so theres no direct access from post street, and thats how we would activate the use along post street. Commissioner moore okay. Thank you. President hillis any additional comments or a motion . Commissioner richards . Richard richar Vice President richards motion to approve. Second. Clerk thank you, commissioners, on that motion and second. [ roll call. ] clerk so moved, commissioners. That motion passes unanimously 70. Commissioners, thatll place us on item 13 fosh case number 2016000310, stanyan street. Good afternoon, commissioners. Brittany van dixon, planning staff. [ inaudible ] at 1010 stanyan. The residential building will contain three threebedroom units and one one bedroom unit, ranging from approximately 1,300 square feet to 1180 square feet. The project also includes eight class one bicycle spaces, four of which will substitute for the required off street Parking Spaces. This principle rounding up remaining fractions of one half or more. Upon completion of the active tentative map application, the property will have an area of 3,900 square feet and is therefore seeking approval of four dwelling units. So this publication of the staff report, the department has received one phone call in opposition to the proposal, requesting that the commission not approve any units at the site, given existing congestion in coal valley. The department is recommending the Planning Commission approve the proposal as its necessary for the surrounding neighborhood and the city as a whole. The massing and design is and the citys bicycle and pedestrian networks, and the project adds for dwelling units and 11 bedrooms to the citys housing stock. This concludes my presentation, and im available for any questions. Thank you. President hillis thank you, miss bendix. Project sponsor, welcome. Good afternoon, commissioners. Good to see you all. Commissioner johnson, thank you so much for your service, and for the little that ive worked with you, its certainly been a pleasure. I would like to present this project at 1010 stanyan street. Were here because were looking for conditional use authorization for adding an additional unit to an rh3 lot, which is in section 209, table 209 that allows 1,000 square feet for each lot area. The ground floor has one fully accessible unit thats a flat three bedrooms 2. 5 bath. The second unit, also a flat with three bedrooms, and then, the third and fourth floor are two town houses, one front, one back, the front one with three bedrooms, and the back one with two bedrooms. Right now, these are fairly sizeable lots typical to the 25 foot wide. This is currently a 37. 5 lot. Were looking to make it 39 feet, and the project is not including parking, so given its proximity to the line which was a stop right at the corner one house away, and there are a number of bus lines within one or two blocks of the project. Without the parking, there is a historic theres a historic stonewall along the street, so this is a view of existing on the left and proposed on the right. There is, along the street, theres an old stonewall that was related to the corner house at 199 karl, so by not having parking and cutting through there, were not creating a problem for traffic on stanyan, as well as we can keep the mature trees the street trees that are there. So in terms of the conditional use about the finding, number one, the finding is about the project is necessary and desirable for the neighborhood. We believe it does. It adds four new residential units where there are none, so of course there is no displacement. The mass and the form and the use is both consistent with the neighborhood and and the local context. The second cu finding about that the use will not be detrimental to the facility, again, the proposed form and size of the building is very much context well. Accessiblity and traffic patterns, this is a wellserved site, so by adding the bicycle spaces and expecting the owners to use transit is a very appropriate use on this on this lot. The third finding is that the is project is it meets all applicable codes, and it certainly supports the master plan, so as you can see here, i mean, in terms of set backs and all of the typical requirements for this kind of project in an rh3 zone, its absolutely compatible. These are additional views. Were getting a little bit the upper west is just head on. Theres the food store across the street, so this is essentially what it would look like from across the street, and then the one on the right, looking down the street from up the hill. You see that threequarter view. There was one concern that i heard from one of the commissioners will the privacy issues on the sides. These are independent freestanding homes, so theres space between them. The house on the corner is a beautiful, quite historic house, and it has a bay window that faces that side, and the common stair goes up that side. So so this elevation here, those windows that i just pointed to are that stair, and were planning to have translucent or some kind of a frosted glass there so because it would look into that bay, so trying to create the sense of privacy between the two sides. So we believe that this the cu should be granted. We think it meets all the requirements, and provides a very good new fourunit buildin
