I dont see the shadows moving. So, this has to do with the impact on the street, the neighbors and the light well. Flip to the next image which we did, we remodeled the proposed building which is the, did three go. Go ahead. Thats it. So theres a fourstorey with a deck front and back but the impact on the street is considerable. Can you slide it a little bit there. And, particularly concerned with the impact to the shading of the fourstorey building on the neighbors light wells. We created this spread sheet. Its com paying the proposed building that was submitted on august 29th, the revisions you see that the project sponsor has created today and we have an alternate proposal that has three units. Theyve taken a 40foot high building and reduced it by reduced it by six inches to a 3. Its an egregious minimizization. Im going to push this up. The regional proposal had eight bedrooms, they reduced it to seven but increased the bathroom count. Our proposal has nine bedrooms so its a more affordable for more families. Id like to just show some quick images. I just have my phone. Lets see here. We cant see it. You cant really see the red very well. Basically, if you can see their entry is now their first garage level. You have 30 more seconds. The garage level goes up halfway through my window i live in the right side. Im a renter. Longterm rent control. So, that means they have the light well filled in on the first floor so that whole area will be looking out of our interior windows on a wall and then it goes up fourstoreys. I made lots of drawings but you cant see right now. I made lots of drawings that you cant see. Basically, our light well, as you saw in the stad ow shadow sl be completely covered and we wont get light in two interior rooms and the rental unit above us will get no light. I have lots of poets and drawings. It would be very easy for them to mass against the wall thats blank on the other side. Thats your time. Thank you. Can i show these. I think weve exhausted the time. Thank you so much. Any other Public Comment on this item . Come on up. Please lineup on the left. Thank you. Good evening, commissioners. My name is rick hills. Almost like your former commissioner. Were both former planning commissioners. I served on this board from 199 1997to 1999 under the great wile brown and i add measur admire y. I am i know the project response o he is one of the best buildings in the city. He does terrific work. He lives in the neighborhood. And he has gone through the most important exercise of working with the neighbors to come back with a more userfriendly building. I totally support it. I think however valid the opponents believe in their points of view, i see it as a case of death by knit picking that only drags things out longer and its more expensive and only aggravates the problem with a lack of housing in the city so i recommend approval of the project as planned. Thank you, mr. Hill. Next speaker, please. My name is mark norton and i didnt get to speak at the last hearing because i had to go to work. I lived directly across the street. Practically. Ive been there for 35 years. This fourth floor they showed you the floor floor is invisible in the rendering. It will not be invisible from my house. Either my living room or study. Many im the person that looks at this more than anybody on the planet because where i am. I support the idea of having three units. Its a good idea. I dont think having an unaffordable by design one at the top is a good idea. My minute suppose already. This is a letter about the h. R. E. They didnt do when they created this new ceqa exemption. I know you didnt get paper before but there you have it in paper. This should be continued in the gentleman is willing to sit down and negotiate with the neighbors. I asked to sit down with them and talk the last couple of days and he ignored that request. Thank you, very much. Next speaker, please. My name is Alexander Mulder and i work in the neighborhood. I came to the first meeting here. I also attended the neighborhood meeting and now im speaking. I spoke the first time as well. I followed this project. Ive watched the developer work with the neighbors and changed the materials. Im fully in support of this house how it is. Its a greatlooking house and fits in with the neighborhood and i appreciated the fact that they added a unit and i thought it was wise for the neighbors to recommend that so i saw both sides and i think now the project as it is is great. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker, please. Good evening, commissioners, neighborhood council. Just as mr. Mark mentioned here, im sorry its late and were im for getting peoples last name. The fourth floor is a health floor according to the drawing. It does exist. Overhead, please. Thats what it looks like. That is done by the architect and that is what it looks like. One thing i just want to bring to your attention is this is not dont difficult to get rid of the fourth floor. The fourth floor is 600 feet and the project involves three car garage, 900 square feet for the garage. Get rid of two cars, get 500 square feet to one unit and have three floors of three units. We are not against units. This is excellent having three units and it is perfect. But you do not need to have the fourth floor. Thats all were asking. Next speaker, please. Thank you for giving us the time to voice our sorry. I dont do this very often. Thank you. My name and im here as my person and the president and im here as a person to support our neighbors and it came to our attention the project is a little too big and im so glad theyre doing three units because we need housing and i wanted to point out a couple of things, one of them was the overhead, please. The measurement, it seems that the 30 feet were taken from this part instead of from this year and so it is a lot higher on the back and also the light well what about the light well. Ok so, its really fivestoreys not fourstoreys high. Thank you, your time is up. Any other Public Comment on this item . Local residents im here to support my father in law and the other old time residents there and they dont feel that its in place. They have done work to keep the neighborhood and he is kind of the mayor of the block. And i go with what he thinks you know, he just does what is right always. He is a man thats just a man of principle and so is my father in law. I jushe just had a heart condit. These people do what is right so i support them. Its a good thing. Theyve gone to a lot of work to prepare this other proposal and its a good propose a thank you. Any other Public Comment on that item . Public comment is closed. Commissioner richards. I guess a couple of things first. Weve been talking about sb50 and Transit Oriented Development, blah, blah, blah, blah. This building is a block and a half from the jay church so im wondering it why it needs throwcar parking to be honest with you. A block and a half. Secondly, the light well on the first floor blocking the persons dwelling, the room, im wondering if the stairs can be moved closer to the garage wall and have an actual entry way thats not covered so that the persons window is facing a journey mans entrance for the a. D. U. Rather than a solid wall and its something that is workable and those are the two questions. The parking dont need three cars, we stand for Transit Oriented Development and its a non starter for me and i would rather get rid of the fourth floor and another unit and the unit sizes are pretty good because the average unit size is 1600. I guess you would like that. I would like to get rid of some of the parking and reduce the fourth floor. Agreed. Motion to reduce the parking, approve the project and take off the fourth floor. Can we talk about the stairs moved over so theres no the light well goes all the way down to the grant and a hallway. Id like to include that as well. Second. Wed had direction with staff. Mr. Washington. Del vivin washington. As i understand, as we enter the building entry and lobby area, the goals of the commission is to extend the stairway down. We have to realize that this is an entry to reach that lower unit and if we reduce some of the parking we can possibly get the width of this garage so we can get an additional corridor that would allow access to that. Is the project architect here . You think that is feasible . Um, its difficult. Im looking at page a2. 1. Please, real quickly. You guys do this light bulb things all the time. We can have a fence on the Property Line and we will. People in this building will put their trash out there and the people next door will say, why dont you put a roof on it and well its like gee, thats what we were proposing. And the other thing is theres a half a stray differential. We purposely did not put pits on it. Well thin frame it and keep it as low as possible. Because it is over the stair, we can lower it a little bit. As you said, the other thing to keep in mind when you go from two units to three units. The Building Classification changes from an r3 occupancy to r2. Fire, exiting, all that stuff gets heavy duty. It sounds like a good idea, just do this and this and that. I can lower it as low as we can but it would be very, very difficult. Can i answer any questions . So, i mean, if you can put a2. 1 up on the overhead and show us why you have to have you cant move the stairs closer to the garage, to where the garage actually would have been, because were eliminating parking, why you cant have an open passageway. Forget about the trash cans and all that, thats the neighborly thing people need to work amongst themselves to someone wouldnt put a compost bin under someones window. It happens. Well i know it happens. I would rather you are asking about moving these. The entry. Yes. Move them down towards the garage. What used to be the garage. Yes, where the car is. Put it under the other stairs. Excuse me, you are out of order. I think what were trying to do the problem ok. Right there at that line, theres a retaining wall there so we have to dig into it. We could do that. So you could have the passageway. If this is what you want and we can pass this and move forward, ill be happy to do this. We need to just move forward. We love you for that. No worries. So, mr. Washington, do you wants. I under the project architect will work with staff to meet these goals. Get rid of the fourth floor and how many Parking Spaces . One. Not three. One. I would be ok with one. One. Yeah. And bicycle. And a bicycle parking. You can have thro three bicye parking. Ok. So, is the secondary ok with that. Make the motion. So theres a motion, commissioners, its been seconded to approve this matter with conditions have been amended to continue working with staff eliminating the fourth floor reducing the light well down to the ground and reducing the parking to one space and providing bicycle parking. On that motion commissioner johnson. Aye. Richards. Aye. Koppel. Aye. Press melgar. Aye. So moved. That motion passes unanimously 40. Commissioners, were at item 21 for case number im sorry, we just have to take a little break. Im sorry. Its 8 00 and weve been going since 9 00 this morning. Weve been here 11 hours, folks. Sorry. Commission regular hearing for thursday, november 21, 2019. Ill remind members of the public to silence your mobile devices that may sound off during these proceedings. We left off on item 21 for 2018009157cua at 2175 hayes street, conditional use authorization. Good evening, commissioners. Silva jiminez, the Planning Department staff. The item before you is a request for conditional use authorization to permit the demolition of a one story dental office and construction of a four story residential building within the hr3 district. A conditional use authorization is required to exceed the three dwelling units per lot in an hr3 Zoning District with the maximum of one dwelling unit per lot area. This would result in a Building Height of 40 feet and the conditional use authorization would allow for a total of four fourbedroom units with a threebedroom dwelling unit at the ground and basement floors. The project includes 144 feet of open space in a newly created year yard. Five class one bicycle spaces would be provided. Since the staff report this department received one letter in support and no letters of opposition regarding the proposed project. The Department Finds the project is on balance, consistent with the objectives and policies of the general plan. The project will add five familysized dwelling units to the housing stock, thereby bringing the subject property into con importance with the residential uses. This concludes my presentation, and im available for further questions. Thank you. Do we have a project sponsor . Come on up. You are not the same one . [laughter] good evening, commissioners. Im very pleased to say this one is not neo valley. Okay. This is a legal con forming dentist office. It takes up the entire, 100 percent lot. We are going to create the midblock open space. As you see here, we are going to respect the light well. Im going to talk about that in a minute. Jim alexander and mike are neighbors here. Ive met with them and said i would mention them because they can go back and look at the tape. Theres really six items here that people are worried about. They want to get rid of this existing building. Its an eyesore. But they are worried about rodents. The owner is using synergy for it and hired a pest control person. Everybody wants the midblock open space. Ive already addressed that. At one point, nobody wanted the commercial, we used that space for the adu now that the codes have changed. There is a mona and travis i need to reach out to. They want me to adjust the light well. No problem now that i know about it. And i got an email from decreeing about the rodents. Hes worried about privacy. Normally we are really careful with using obscure glass on that. And the last thing is they want to see parking out there. So we did that. Theres a lot of bay there. So we use the rounded bays. Its modern but we are trying to stay within neighborhood context. And hey, 313, im ready to move on. If you have any questions im ready to answer them. As far as i know theres no opposition to this. They just want to get this building down. Thank you, mr. Wise. Do we have any Public Comment on this item . Okay. With that, Public Comment is now closed. Make a motion to approve. Thank you, commissioners on that motion to approve this matter with conditions. [roll call vote] so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 40. Commissioners that will place us on item we have already considered item 22 placing us on items 23 for case numbers 2019000745cua at 1100 thomas street. Sorry. You will consider the conditd administrator will consider thee good evening, commissioners. Michael, department staff. Before you is a request for conditional use authorization to legalize the expansion of an existing 4,762 square foot agricultural use on thomas avenue. It has temporary authorization to continue operation. The fatal applied for under the permit of 2016 to 2017 to establish a greenhouse use within the building which was a onestory warehouse consistent with the planning code definition. However after completing the permit, the site was altered to expand the mezzanine using existing beams within the building, thus turning the mezzanine into a second floor. The Cannabis Cultivation facility was expanded onto that new floor area. The project requires a conditional use authorization for the expansion of the industrial agriculture use which requires a conditional use authorization. The project requires a variance from the planning code section 145. 1 which requires an industrial building ground floor clears 15 feet shall be retained. Mezzanines dont factor into the measurements since they are not considered a story but by rendering it into a full floor, the ground floor height is no longer compliant. The department has received no correspondence regarding this application. The site is a preexisting use which will be required to comply with cannabis licensing requirements including power from renewable sources and submitting a plan for review by the San Francisco police department. The use is consistent with the core Zoning District and general plan and meets the requirements of the planning code. The department recommend approval of the requested authorization. Im available for any questions. Thank you, mr. Christianson. Do we have a project sponsor . Good evening, commissioners. My name is al, im an architect on the project. She is the proprietor of the business. I just want to give a quick presentation and let him talk. Initially this building happens to be at the end of the hunters point, the bayview district. Im sorry, can you speak into the mic. Im sorry. The yellow highlighted with the red arrow is where the location of this is. This is the view of the warehouse, the actual business occupies about half the warehouse. And this is the door on griffith street, not on thomas. Initially, the project was approved for creating three grow rooms inside an industrial warehouse. The three grow rooms are these. And it had a roof to contain the environment. I believe they got their permit approved im sorry. This additional room right here. And as a result of that, what ends up happening is they have an entire roof over these rooms that could be used for grow facility. Mostly for the seedlings. Taking into account the tresses that account for the building, this would be the new grow area, the new grow area that they have for the seedlings. Im going to give this up to sam so he can talk about the grow facility. Good evening, commissioners. I know its late so ill try to be brief. So the whole purpose of this basically is to try to keep the whole operation inhouse. And by us doing so, its complete Quality Control and addresses several issues that basically the California Department of food and agriculture are concerned with and the office of cannabis. So we will continue to have the ability to control the complete life cycle of the plant from clone to mature flower. And in doing so, what happens then is we also address security issues. It minimizes the coming and going of the building instead of outsourcing it. Theres minimum entry and exiting. This also controls Pest Management, prevents introduction of pests from outside sources. And we dont have to do that because we have the ability to do that inside on the top of this area here. Its actually just this area here, this spot right here, this part here is part of the mezzanine tha
