Serves a low income and water and come is very important. You have people that come in and say, Pay Attention to us. And you have people that are paid to bump the department about getting the project through. The Planning Department, in my perception, listens to the group of people who they want to get the permits approved very fast without any real input from the public. And you are it for the Planning Department. You have a role to play to tell the Planning Department, Pay Attention to the people that are really struggling to stay in the city to get housing that is affordable to them, not housing affordable for people that are dumped from the buses from Silicon Valley into San Francisco. We are building the housing and everywhere in Silicon Valley. If you dont acknowledge that, you are not really paying attention. You are about to have the first hearing ever on a 43 site project. Theres nothing available. I have been bugging the department. And you are going to approve the project. You have been told you will approve the project and there is nothing from the building department. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Anyone else for Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Two questions. Your flowchart has a threshold of two units and above. Was there any discussion in terms of creating a two tear between large projects and Small Projects . Thank you, commissioner. I think rather than setting up different time frames based on the scale of the project, the mayors directive showed chose to have it based on the level of Environmental Review. While it can be counterintuitive , you can have a smaller project that has a more robust environment of review and a larger project that may be able to be approved on a Building Permit if it is 100 affordable. Yes, we did tear it out based on the character six of the project , but it wasnt about the number of units, it was about the level of environmental that we would expect to see. Second question is, what will happen with the flowchart when you move to the new permit center . We want to take care of some the issues we havent tackled as of now. Particularly in terms of customer service, but it should give us a little bit more elbow room to think about how we could differentiate the process for different types of projects, maybe alterations versus larger projects, so we might be able to use that to do a little bit more overthecounter approval for some of the more complex work. It is still early days, im sorting all that out. The City Ministry to has been a good job keeping us in the loop, but we are looking forward to using that for everything that we can take advantage of to make the process smoother. Is there a group that is looking at the impact . The citys administrator is triply charged with designing and designing the new permit center. If you recall the way it works is there will be a major reception on the first floor of the building and the permit center is on the second floor. All of the departments that are issuing permits will be on that second floor. One of the biggest accident advantages to the public as they will have to they wont have to run around to five different buildings. It will all be on one floor, on one building. Next year still . Were scheduled to move in in mid to late summer at this point are you seeing an increase, or is that the predominant way applications are being submitted online at this point. Not as of yet. I think people are understanding it is an option and no one wants to be the guinea. So some folks are trying to get some of the kinks out and there are growing pains. Right now it is not the predominant one but we are seeing more and more as we go through. People are realizing that people are trying to get show amendments and then that wasnt working so well because there are new projects coming forward. People realize that and well come forward. They say i dont have to wait in line and we are seeing them and able to work out the kinks on that . We have several standing meetings between our intake staff and we are processing the information and trying to get it assigned to a planner and are in for inhouse Technology Staff has others and we have made a number of changes to the way that we are setting up. Okay. Can you quantify that more . What are the bigger issues . Is it designed generally leading that way, or is it. It is revisions to the project that are happening in response to comments they are hearing from the community or because their financing considerations, or whatever it may be. I think, you know, he alluded to this. Is about the planning process that takes so much time. What we learned was so complicated and difficult is you may start getting Environmental Review with staff working on it east on proposal pay, and then you have proposal be, proposal proposal d. And you are essentially starting over and redoing work. It may seem like we are delay the beginning of that process, but we have Environmental Review staff working on this since day one. Once we are gelled and stable, then i can see how the consultant is going. We are just kind of doing it in a consolidated process where we are trying to put things in writing. It looks like that takes a long time, but that is because there are a lot of considerations, a lot of voices, and a lot of people who are doing this at the same time. If you are spending that much money on the frontend, or are you seeing reductions on the backend . For a no secret project, or an exemption, because you did that work and are we seeing reductions . It came in under this process and they have been approved before the mayors timeframe hit , which is maybe an indication that that nine to 22 month maybe overly generous. We can look at that after we have had more time. The other thing that doesnt necessarily show up is a 11, it is all of the my mental planning staff who are focused on the projects that are right and ready to go, rather than spending the time on the ones that are regenerating and changing. That is where you see the improvement, even on projects that arent under this new process. Of those projects, like the 65 projects that came in in the timeframe, how many of those require Mission Approval . Do you know . Off the top of my head i dont know. There are quite a number that do not. It would be good to get some information on those. But how long they have gone through the process on average, and maybe by tape of unit or the ceqa approval process. I know we are not looking at projects before that, but comparing that with the year prior. We can show that approvals are happening quicker because of this. Thank you. Commissioner johnson . Thank you. Very great questions. I will say thank you to planning staff, to our planner technicians and support staff who have really jumped in to organize and make this happen. We are continuing to get better as a process, what really appreciate fast commitment to bring these systems into more transparency and accessibility, and really looking forward to the community conversation. Thank you. One quick item. On the public notice, i think we will see that, but that is great i get those notices on my home, and as someone who set up here for six years, sometimes they are not easy to figure out what your neighbor is doing. I know you wanted to change those and the department wanted to change those, but they are not working for people who care about what is going on. I am glad that is a priority. Great job, great presentation thank you very much. If theres nothing further, we can move on to our next item. Before we do that, i would like to call item 21 out of order. I just received word that both parties have agreed to make a continuance, not withdraw, but a continuance. Its impossible to hear you. I am going to call item 21 out of order. To 20 san jose avenue. A discretionary review. It is being proposed for continuance to october 17th, 2019. If i could have a motion to continue, we can take it off todays agenda. Move to continue. Thank you. On that motion to continue item 21 to october 17th. [roll call] we should actually take Public Comment if anyone would like to take Public Comment. Would anybody like to provide Public Comment on the continuance of this item . No, okay. Public comment is closed. Thank you. That motion passes unanimously 6 0. That will place us on item 14 a and b. 2300 harrison street. This is a large project authorization. An Office Develop authorization. Please note on july 18th, 2019 after hearing and closing Public Comment, you continue this matter to todays date. You were absent on that day, so in order to participate you would need to acknowledge you have reviewed the previous hearing materials. Yes we will limit the project sponsor to three minutes in Public Comment to one. Yes. Very good. Good afternoon members of the commission. I am with Planning Department staff. As jonas just mentioned, on july 18th, 2019, the Planning Commission continue the large project authorization and Office Development allocation for 2300 harrison for the public hearing on august 22nd, 2019, with a direction to provide more information or clarification clarity for the project. The project includes the diamond demolition of an existing parking lot and the construction of the six story over basement garage, 75foot tall, 77,365 square foot vertical and horizontal edition to existing threestory 42foot tall 68,500 and30 Square Foot Office building. The addition will result in a mixeduse building with 24 residential dwelling units, 27,700 square feet of Additional Office space, 2,480 square feet of the ground floor retail, 1,117 square feet of ground for arts activities and retail space , 301 additional class one bicycle spaces, and a total 41 offstreet parking spaces. The project includes 4,876 square feet of usable open space or combination of private and common open spaces. Pursuant to the california government code sections the project is requesting preconceptions and incentives for rear yard, groundfloor height, active uses, and active uses. Under the state density bonus law, the project is requesting three waivers from Development Standards for height, narrow street height limit, and mass reaction. Furthermore, no waivers, incentives, and concessions have been requested. This concludes staff presentation. The project sponsor is also here and is prepared with a presentation for you. Thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon. I represent this project sponsor i would like to thank by saying thinking the United States and mission for the time they have invested in the discussions we have had over a year. We do feel we have a robust unity benefits package that does address many of the concerns, particularly given the modest nature of the proposed project. I just passed around a sheet that summarizes the Community Benefits. All of which we are committed to with or without an agreement with the United States. The last time we were here, there questions about statements to i will address that with the waivers and concessions. Next years projects are expressly committed by the program, in this project, from the very beginning, has always been intended as a true mixeduse project. If we are not using the program, the exceptions that we are requesting will typically be requested in the context of the l. P. A. Waivers are typically or they are physical items. First we are requesting a waiver from building height. We asked for an additional 7 feet in order to build the six residential floors. Second, were located on a narrow street and we are required to provide a setback starting at a 40foot height. We provide the setback, when it starts at height 41 feet and 10 inches. So an exception of less than 2 feet due to floor alignment. And then third, we also are required to priced on the massing. We do that, but we cant make the cut 63 d. Deep, which is required since the parking lot is only 60 for 60 feet deep. Concessions are financial items and we have three of those. First we are providing 100foot deep rear yard setback instead of the required 40 feet, however , on the fourth floor, we have some of the existing mechanical systems. Technically we dont comply because those obstructions. Relocation of those items would be at a considerable cost to the project. Second, the new groundfloor height is required to be 7 feet deep. We propose 15 floors. And then third, it is the groundfloor that requires active uses for the 25foot deck that would eliminate all the parking and income from that and it would also create two large commercial spaces on the tiny alley which we fear would be mostly vacant. Those are the concessions and waivers. Lastly, i want to mention we are retaining three of the surface parking spots along 19 and harrison. We would ask for you, in your consideration to include the retention of one additional parking space that is closest to the retail space, and that is in case they end up occupying that space. We do also have the architect here who could provide more detail on the residential plan if you want to ask us to come back or to provide that detail. Thank you. Okay. We will now take Public Comment on this item. I have a few speaker cards, what anyone who wants to comment, please line up on my left. I just didnt want it to go away. Commissioners, im with united to save the mission. We havent seen the summary that was just provided to you. We were here no further than the last hearing, but we shouldnt allow this to detract from this toxic project. Using the density bonus to build Tech Office Space in an affordable and housing crisis and claiming hardship is the real a few station. You can see for yourselves the games that they play with the only Community SignificantCommunity Benefit that they have seen interest in providing. The same tactics were used by the land use firm a few weeks ago. They make a show of being engaged, they prevent a u. S. Agreement knowing what it takes for us to vote on an agreement and provide rapid and circumvent offers to gain these entitlements. We need they are still waiting for details. Your time is up. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. I am directly across the street from the proposed project. We are in production, distribution, and repairs on that block. There is a lot of loading, and a lot of trucks. Is a lot of kegs going in and out, this is a very small street and having the driveway on that side will not work. And needs to be harrison street is a narrow street. Theres a lot of traffic. I reached out to bernie davis. They have no dialogue and then say listen, this is the project. I just received a shadow study, it is not really a study, it takes place shadowing our businesses, and the patio. I can reference they said that basically they cant do any litigation, but they didnt do a shadow study to see how they could make it. I think it would be helpful that driveway would be mandatory. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. Im a business restoration workmen. I spend my time restoring the historic housings dr. Im the last thing on the block on the righthand side. I do want to echo the negative impact. You be huge if they are allowed to put the parking garage entrance there. It is very congested. They are concerned future condo owners will be upset and complain the cant get in and out. The firm that is in charge of this has had nothing to me. If chris hadnt brought this up to me, i wouldnt know it was happening. That has been no email, no phone calls, no outreach whatsoever. It is going to be able he myth of a project. So those are a couple of main concerns. If they are going to be proved approved for construction, they should play nice with the neighborhood and also hopefully residential, in the parking entrance would be over on harrison because we make noise. Is part of the way we do business. Thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. I wish i could have brought iced coffees for you all, but thanks for this. I have been in the mission for about 25 years. I love the mission, i love this city. The cities are very important to grow and change. They are efficient machines. Change needs to happen. When you do that development, we should take care and take a second to talk to the neighbors, look at all of the planning uses p. D. R. Is something that is important to facilitate this mixed use. This traffic pattern that is going to be created is already challenging right now. We have a thriving business and we will stay here. We would like to stay here and would like for you to take a closer look at this development. Modest is relative. I think it will make a big impact on all the neighbors around. It is worth it to look at it one more time. Just a minute for that would be helpful. Thank you. [please stand by] im in full support and ask that you pass this project and allow them to have responsible general contractors build this project. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, president melgar and other members. I am a local here. The members of local 22 in San Francisco and the surrounding bay area strongly support 562 Mission Street proposed development at 2300 harrison street. The project will create muchneeded construction jobs that pay living wages and provide opportunities for local apprentices to begin their careers in construction, beginning women, minorities, and helmets to hard hats. This will provide a new space that will serve the community. San francisco has becoming increasingly unaffordable to newcomers. The proposed development here is truly mixed use in scope and this project aims to create opportunities for permanent jobs in addition to thank you, sir, your time is u
