Behalf of 16 Community Groups and the commission knows this. The Development Team is also fully aware of this. Making a last offer here without talking to united to save the mission does not show respect for the community. I dont think it shows respect for the commission that sent us back to Work Together and talk. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi there. I am john jensen. A citizen of San Francisco and i support projects like this. I just want to be on the record that i support this project. Thank you. Thank you. Any other Public Comment on this item . Public comment is now closed. Mr. Kaplan, question. How long have you been out this at this entitlement . I believe this project has been on file since 2015. How long has active entitlement process been . For years now. Thank you. Any other comments, commissioners . Ill bring up the same thing about a plus time to vote for approval of the project. Commissioner richards. I opened this hearing and Commission Comment saying i dont want to see us under any illusion that we are approving a Housing Project to have a good portion of this project appear to be corporate rental like we talked at 2200 Market Street. If we move ahead to do anything with this project i would require that we condition it to have my affirmative vote, that we limit the amount of Corporate Housing rental that could be on the project to some reasonable level. What is a reasonable level . 10 . Why not zero . Zero. Okay. Would that maker of the motion except that accept that . Before i second its, another question i have of the project sponsor. He put an offer on the table, i dont want to get into private agreements, they cant accept it due to their process. If we approve it does the offer just to stay there . Can you just let them have it . Let me say this. The offer through yesterday was still on the table, which was the same offer the group had accepted previously. Should the commission approve this project today, there is a 30 day appeal time frame, i want to give anyway tricks of the trades. Theres another appeals in which we would be happy to not have to go through. There is more opportunities for this deal to still come to fruition. You are supportive of, so your headshake of a condition, or voluntary set of conditions that there would be no Corporate Housing rental on this property, this project . Correct, yes. I mean, let me take a step back. I mentioned the san bruno project this morning. Here we had a jurisdiction that disapproved, 475 housing units. We are trying to create real housing for real san franciscans i want to put a condition on this that we dont have another project like we just saw on charge on Market Street where we have a hotel. I do not want a hotel here. I want housing here for san franciscans for long term. If someone wants to do corporate rentals, they should declare that and we should talk about that as a project. I understand from the project sponsor that is not the condition here. I would condition the approval on this on that. I would second on that. I would like to raise a question, one more time, the private agreements are something we support. I hear two statements which do not link up at all. One person says they have not heard, they werent even contacted, didnt know anything about the small building. While the other person says this was part of an offer that has been on the table for a long time. We continue this project a number of times to encourage communication, to encourage some sort of settlement. I know we cannot further continue with the project. I would still like to better understand who said what, or who didnt hear home . Can you shed some light on this . Obviously you have an mou with neighbors. Who at united save the mission did you communicate with . Larissa has been the key contact. She says she hasnt heard from you. We have been in touch with larissa, kelly and others up until the last hearing. At the last hearing we ask for a two week continuance to help the facilitation of this agreement. My understanding, through various channels, as of last night there was still not an agreement acceptance on the deal on the table that had been devoted to an agreed to previously. That is why we are here today say we have no deal. We are ready, we were ready last night, we were ready two weeks ago. That is the latest i have heard directly from them. Im sorry, to, you are saying that the deal that you presented today has been available since the last hearing . That is what you are saying . And that is something that you emailed to them, or how did that get communicated to united to save the mission . Weve got a lot of different folks operating the mission. Its a challenging environment. Challenging project sponsors. Challenging neighborhood groups. It is a very sensitive neighborhood. Up and until two weeks ago, there was lots of communication back and forth between larissa, her folks on the project sponsor. That communication was not going anywhere. It did not result in the acceptance of the agreement. In the last two weeks i have been conversations not directly between myself or the project sponsor, but there have been conversations were once again the deal was put in front of them, we are ready to go. We will sign it this morning, and our understanding is no. Thank you. I still dont understand it, because i took what we said here as a direct invitation for those parties who were present in the room to talk to each other. I have a lineal way of thinking about that. That was the people i thought i was talking to and that didnt happen. So i dont know what to say. I dont have any comment anymore on that matter. Thank you. There is a motion on the table. I will say, my strong directive was to go back and work with the community. I expected there to be that communication, different from the last time. We heard this, the last few times we have heard this, i have not received a lot of communication from Community Folks nor do i see lots of Community Folks here today. You know, obviously the wood would woodward street neighbors were a big part of the folks that came last time. I do think this is a better project than the first time it came in front of us. Thank you for the efforts. Very good commissioners. There is a motion that has been seconded to approve this matter with conditions as amended to include a condition prohibiting Corporate Housing. On that motion. [roll call] that motion passes 51 with commissioner melger voting against. That places us on item 12. [reading notes] you will consider a large project authorization while the Zoning Administrator will reconsider a request for variance. Good afternoon president melger and members of the commission. Planning department staff. Im here to introduce the project at 88 bluxome street. The project before you is a large project authorization to allow construction of a new Building Greater than 85 feet in height, or for new construction of more than 50,000 gross square feet. A variance from the Zoning Administrator from the planning code requirements for parking and loading entrances and micro retail to allow offStreet Parking and transit greater than 20 feet in with and to allow three micro retail spaces were six are required.

This concludes my presentation. I am available for any questions. Thank you. Good afternoon commissioners. We are here with our partner, tmg partners and our architect from wescott. We will try to be brief, because we know you have a long agenda, and we have been here before with an informational session. Just to orient you, this is the tennis club site as it currently stands today, and as it was since the 1970s. We acquired this site because one pursuant of the central soma goals. We came up with a mixeduse project that is essentially filling out the site with multiple uses, which have been outlined. I will outline. It has a mid lock crossing connecting bluxome street to brannan street. This is a view looking across from brannan street. You can see a taller massing, a smaller massing of Office Component, and then the far distance you see the reddish massing which is the Affordable Housing site. We will be deeding to the citys Mayors Office of housing. The components of the project are listed here. I am not going to go through it in observance of time. Just to say that we think it is a nicely balanced mix of uses that will enrich this neighborhood. In general, this is how it lays out across the project site. At the center is the office allocation, the 775,000 square feet that we are seeking from your authorization today. This section indicates how this is a fully integrated signal structure essentially all connected at the base. There is the tennis club at the bottom along with the swimming pools and the Community Center. There is the Affordable Housing parcel that will be on top of the Community Center and on the Office Component of retail and pdr space. My partner, matt field will speak to the community benefits. Good afternoon commissioners. It is my honor to be here this afternoon presenting the project and the array of Public Recreation on Affordable Housing that comes with this project. First is the Aquatic Center that is being developed. As you probably know there are no pools south of our area. This project will develop an Aquatic Center that will be dedicated and donated to the city and operated by park and rec. Including two pools one that is a fullsize lap pool and one that is a learning pool for both kids and seniors. That Recreation Center will have a groundfloor element that is more flex space that park and rec will use for afternoon programming, and spills out onto the mid block alley. What you see here, on the left of this rendering is the Affordable Housing you see on top and the rec center on the bottom. As you pass between bluxome and brannan. Next is the bluxome linear park. This was developed in deep coordination with the city family, including dpw, mta, and the puc. So all elements of this plan have been fully vetted by the city family. At this. Because, there are a number of different programs within the space, that i will walk you through. There is space that is recreation based. There is space that is more relaxation based. It also includes a dog run which is deeply needed in this part of town. As to the Affordable Housing. As my partner related to, this is a dedication of an airspace parcel. Fully coordinated with the Mayors Office of housing. It will be 100 affordable. There is 107 units programmed here. Over 40 of the units are 23 bedrooms designed to fit both family and intergenerational housing. Here you can see unit plans that have been developed in consort with the Mayors Office of housing. This is really a thoughtful program that can be realized as soon as the Mayors Office is ready. And going to turn it over to lisa to walk you through the design of the project. Hello commissioners. This describes the project looking from the bluxome street side. There was a lot of effort to take and have it appear as separate buildings which are complementary to each other but not just superficially different but different also in massing. It is quite a large footprint and the idea is to allow for some double height spaces deep in the interior where he gets less sunlight and to also add double height spaces at the entry area. In terms of the massing strategy it takes the provisional zoning on put developed by the sky playing and adjusts in two different ways. On the west side a series of stacked blocks, on the east side a series of shifted volumes that connect through the negative space in the middle where there is a connector. In terms of facade we really wanted to take inspiration from the Historic Buildings there. The deep punch windows and also the industrial sash and bring that into contemporary language that unites and synthesizes each building. This is what has developed. There is a gradient facade on the West Building that allows us to orient and have different window sizes based on the site orientation and on the eastern building a series of vertical elements, all of which become quite asymmetrical, and less regular in nature. The facades are designed to have depth so they create more shadow and light, and look differently across the course of the day. For the West Building those are the deep windows that have two different materials. One is a panel, another is a copper bronze painted metal panel so that even as you move around the building, you are looking at two different sides of it. On the east wing, panels that again perform more depth and shadow within the vertical seams the view of the central space, the entry to the building, and some views of one of the interior and one of the eastern terrace which overlooks towards downtown. A summary of the project and im happy to answer any questions that you might have. Good afternoon commissioners, taras sullivan. I was asked by the Zoning Administrator to briefly discuss the two variances that the project is seeking. It is seeking a variance from a section 145. 14 though with of the off Street Parking space. Due to bluxome street part, there was a need to consolidate, minimize the impacts. It is greater than one third and 20 feet as required by the code. A variance is requested. The second variance that the project is seeking is for the micro retail spaces. The project is required to put in six micro retail spaces providing micro rebate retail spaces on the ground floor. As we explained in our variance application, the pdr spaces have been designed as essentially pdr micro retail spaces. The intent is to have the users have those function as small retail spaces. The project is intent for the micro retail spaces. Thank you. Okay. Do we have any Public Comments on this item . Good afternoon commissioners, tricia weaver, i am the cofounder and a former director of san franciscan for sports and recreation. It is the organization that was formed in 2015 to help save the San Francisco tennis club. As a longtime member of the San Francisco tennis community, i was quite skeptical of this project initially. The reality is that the project is doing the right thing from the beginning. Early on, the pro
