Honorable planning supervisor and staff and ladies and gentlemen, im mark im the president addressed founder of presidio partners the 16yearold San FranciscoReal Estate Company and the project sponsor been a Real Estate Developer and built on and on over 200 projects were doing over nine hundred projects in San Francisco we had the fox plaza block from here ive lived close to the subject property for the past 16 years two blocks from the property where i raised my too young sons i care deeply about what happens in the marina ive been involved in the community and serving on the Child Abuse Council and services to the homeless and preschooler and was instrumental in helping to get the jazz concert hall builds our company is condominium to building projects in the surrounding neighborhood as with autumn the projects we reached to the neighborhood to understand and design a project that addresses them and anymore specifically in the past summer a Community Outreach meeting with 10 separate meetings with those who wanted Additional Information this rebuttal in receiving 9 letters of support 40 from the neighborhood adjacent to the site and a letter of support from the marina inconsistent association as a result of the feedback if the neighbors we redesigned the building to increase the setback from our neighbor to the east resulting in our building 35 feet from their knowledge that actually is what triggered the split in the variance hearing because it was conforming before it was originally before the building come forward to the neighbors concerns the setback as a result for our goal to design a high quality this that is with the adjacent historic this and have a timely building will be a beautiful addition to the marina architect ill introduce our architect to give a brief oh, overview and ask for your support today thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners and the practice of our small San Francisco firm has been to do and design buildings that are connectingly beautiful the site being located in the center of the aerial view in the lower right hand corner and the unit there is a live called the heritage on the marina any brick building that has great historical character here you can e get a sense the upper view on bay street address the lower laguna on the left as you can see the Gas Light Building on the corner and slightly different expressions take the next heres the slightly aerial justify of the street on laguna the building is designed as four stories 40 feet high and along bay street modules 25 feet typical San Francisco module and bay windows and slots and size to make distributions between the laguna heres the site im sorry thank you. Mark. Site plan so you can see the corner the corner is a mixing tooth in the fabric of the block Human Resources heres the ground level plan the main library is off the bay street to the righthand side and the auto ramp off the buchanan on the ned of the block due to several reasons improves of bike safety and it is the lower elevation the site a 6 feet sloping to the east next a compact one level basement with 42 Parking Spaces next. The elevations the principle materials are brick glass, some metal detailing, and here as you can see on the top elevation that is bay street the vertical slots of glass to give the building a townhouse or neighborhood character that is projected and wrapping the corner of buchanan next so those are the what i call the inside elevation the lower one of the east elevation that faces the apartments weve widened the setbacks as mark said ill call the courtyard view think the top the section on the upper section the twoway to enter buchanan street they help give privacy to the grades activating the street and this is a view in the buchanan side as you can see the garage entering the for ground and lafco at the courtyard we with we call the greenhouse and the peeked roof in the for ground and again, we choose to have a glass her expression on the north side of the building to give the impression that the massaging it step down toward the site and finally ill leave you with this one that is a shot from the you know the principle corner where the two streets enter second and to the side of corner with that, ill leave it to you folks to ask any questions aid last week thank you. Opening it up for Public Comment one speaker card calling names Public Comment . Eugene lynch im the the same block and on the paper it is equal it out out vacant for so long it would be nice to have something go in there the gas station served its purpose at the time it would be a great addition to the block i formally spoke to this gentleman during recess they have their plan definitely together and answered a couple of any questions i would say one issue and this might be more traffic than parking theres a tremendous amount of traffic there the 43 safeway trucks and theres buses he private buses to fort mason and the goodwill that has a lot of traffic people parking anywhere they want and basically breaking the rules parking in the head or yellow zone to congestion on the northeast corners i want to brought to your attention and also i wont see you probable have a merry christmas. Thank you very much. Is there any additional Public Comment okay not seeing any, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner moore. Sense 209 that particular lot is disruptive to the feeling in the neighborhood the neighborhood it requirement low rise and the street is rather wide and across the street is a huge park in the edge of the park the cause of it being less populated has actually been a problem over the past few years ago seeing this building step in not the loss of another gas station thats another subject but a fabulous project to have at that site i like about it, it is so understated pet e yet so lovnt contemporary it eases youre prospective of architecture i apologize not knowing that is laguna and bay hopefully. Heritage and it is absolutely a fabulous building and coming down and seeing this now blend into to make the building on the corner of laguna a ranch large are Apartment Building tracking would be upgraded to presence of a highend building i couldnt be happier to see that im aware the problems with goodwill there could be providing some people including myself to have coffee on the way we go but to mitigate the conflict with perhaps 28 whatever numbers should have a response that is a collective responded ill suggest we find a way to really ask that there is no furtheres probating situation so for a fall back to have people round into goodwill but thats a 10 minute time im in full support of project and move to approve with conditions. Second. Let me share some thoughts i know the block very good my gather built and developed the building next door it was probable not architectural Interest Rate youre looking for but out find his back pocket in 72 or 73 but obviously the retail place will be great i see parking improvements along bay street with diagonal but what is cool they separate is it from the curve to have a protected bike lane that is great im supportive and i hope you dont find any underpinning problems commissioner antonini. Yeah. I very much like it two in particular 61 percent two bedroom and three bedrooms i was hoping to stay with the brown rust masonry and keep it uniform so one does it was all red but all the same color and the clay black on the window that is long time and the combination make that blend in with an Historic Building so commissioners, if theres nothing further location to approve that matter with conditions. Commissioner antonini commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner wu and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes 6 to zero and places you on item 15 for case Mission Street it is an Office Development authorization. Good afternoon, commissioners rick Department Staff the the item before you is an Office Development authorization for 35 thousand plus square feet at the Mission Street the proposal the change in use of a approximately 35 thousand from auto garage less repair to office use the basement an first and second floors the proposal will undertaking under take the facade the replacement with a new system stone the ground floor replacement of the windows observe the upper floor with compatible windows and the removal of a guardrail ive provided copies for your review and this incorporate the title block and a title page after analyzing the instead of recommends approval with the planning code in the general plan the project is in a Zoning District that encourages the growths of Office Development and represents 3. 2 percent of office space for allocation and current rates that pays the impact fees and the project sponsor is available for questions that concludes my presentation. Ill be happy to answer any questions thank you. Project sponsor please. If you commissioners john with reuben, junius rose here on behalf of the project sponsor the project the item before you eliminates a parking space to convert to the structure to an Office Building the existing building consists of 36 thousand square feet of paid parking and modern automobile repair use and to exert to a office that was built in 1927 the building is undergoinging and seismic upgrade the project significantly fulfills the goals of vision zero policy and this is for over the last couple of years to eliminate traffic fatalities by 2024 soma is one of the highest levels of death and injury and Mission Street is a high injury corridor the projects eliminates all angling automobile access to the student and 50 foots curb cuts and reduces the conflict of pedestrians and bicyclist and the first policy and an active use for the experience along the street so in short the project eliminates a parking garage and improves the Bicycle Safety and a high corridor and reverse the look of the 1927 building for those purposes we ask for your support. Opening it up for Public Comment. Not seeing any, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner richards and that is a great project for all the reasons all of mentioned he love the look of the, and especially last week the fact their donating a curb cut so i definitely support. Commissioner moore. I have a question for the gentleman have again, you know my propensities towards finding a way to protect pdr has there been any discussion with but and youre client regarding the 101 replacement and identifying new sites or anything like that you know this building is for all intents and purposes to help with pdrs this is near and dear to my heart and oh, someone will take care of this has there been an active engagement in replacing the pdr. Certainly something we discuss during the process because of this exact issue commissioner moore with the sensitivity around the pdr in the south of market it is mostly a parking garage a tire repair tinker with youre Motor Vehicle in the basement and so space the Building Owner had other than the paid parking not an intelligent pdr use outside of that with difficult years were converting to an office space and the kind of use that is not generally consistent with other pdr use on the site the short answer that is something weve looked and we know that is something to consider but ultimately this is the project that the project sponsor settled on. Commissioner antonini. Move to you approve. Commissioner moore. And was p,z e, finance governance over with you said i want to ask the director perhaps that maybe an opportunity for starting to formulate policy we cannot continue to displace pdr even if the parking garage is displaces a number of jobs and employment at the core of protecting pdr we find quite curious by indeed a beginning of formulating how we deal with displacement and where i think we i urge all of us to take that seriously because we are cranking up our discussion on housing how to solve the housing problem we need to Start Talking about simultaneously the issue of job loss and displacement of employment. Happy commissioners just as what we are doing on the front the central soma plan has a oneonone replacement having that discussion with folks in want mission and the mission 2020 and also probable time to come back with an update on pdrs were actually there is actually three or four thousand square feet of space that is under construction or in the pipeline it is the first time weve seen the pdrs use were encouraged that is in any pdrs space being built in the city potential more than half a million square feet so i think that is time to update you and that accumulation how were trying to protect the pdr and the office of Economic Workforce Development has a policy to try to relocation the businesses in the city with redevelopment were sensitive to that on or about were concerned about pdr as well im happy to have that discussion moving forward. And interested if we take a look at our own track read into the record in the last two or three years to see what is it the new pdr spaceless and what the basically only capture what we lost so holding the conversation a little bit what were discussing not effects the decisions right now but in the future of replaceing will make it easier for me to support the Building Design a fabulous no questions there but other issue remains unanswered and commissioner antonini and yeah. I think that is an area where a lot of residential being built not far away in Trinity Plaza and the soma grants not too far in the other discretion is 5 m a other was use sits well, not saying we dont need to protect and promote pdrs but pick and choose our areas that is better stevedored by issues in the existing Parking Facilities there is a a lot of parking in soma that the available. Commissioner johnson. Yeah. Just a quick comment and question so i agree that i think we need to be thinking how we are replacing pdr space around the city and obviously were looking at certain neighborhood and auto garage and weve been thinking about whether else were putting the space the only this thing e thing ill say he definitely supporting forgot about the zoning presentation and auto garage and repair i support that and ill ask a question mean the staff when we have oh, what was the address 553 third street and. Oh, 663. 663. 663 and we end up splitting that halfandhalf between harry reid pdrs and office space did we use the office space for the whole space or just a half. For the half in case 663 came in as a large cap from the project sponsors request and the staff recommendations to reduce it to theyll quality under the small cap and the commission approve a smaller amount so as you what was the the zoning for the rest of that what was left. So the project sponsor from what i understand is trying to figure out that theyre basically allots whatever uses by the Zoning District. Okay. Okay. So theyre trying to figure out what the land use as a place for the other asset building. That was ss o so you as a commission roughly 45 thousand it was a small cap they couldnt put the office on the other floors to the remaining floors is whatever uses that are permitted. Okay got it for this building theyre going for the small office cap for the whole space that cap includes Light Industrial spaces per cap way within the pdrs use their permit as a right so the owner elected to pursue a passenger door spates theyre okay and i definitely support the project for this reason i think that this space in terms of where the neighborhood going is definitely a place for a whether he says uses the way theyve set up the building didnt chapping that structurally so it couldnt have tenants you can use it were looking at when we are mentioning 63 and other areas obviously we cannot bind the project
