Point of is because were talking about affordability for the project in regards to parking, parking makes housing more expensive. Because of the shape of the lot youd have to excavate floors to have more than 16 spots even when were talking about moving electrical and mechanical equipment here or there but that may get you one or two more spots in the floor they have already in the plans for parking to get to approach. 3,. 5 Parking Spaces for 95 units, youd have to excavate two and three stories down and that would add a lot cost and potentially make the project not even pencilled. Its not on...

The citys general plan and your priorities as the commission and currently a family of four lives there. The parents are immigrants from Central America and they have two young children, and and theres a history at this property of the current owner trying to force those tenants out and so i dont think that its an accident that the plan was to convert their one bedroom into a studio and make it impossible for them to live there. So one thing i wanted to bring up was that when and if the permit is approved, the tenants will be displaced temporarily and i wanted im not sure how its possible, but...

Again, this corner is highly, highly trafficked at most times of the night. Its not the kind of corner where people can stop and jump out and get back in. Its really challenging.

Theres not existing ventilation, its very apparent that the unit itself has no Building Permits for it. So the we have to actually restructure the the unit here, and as i said, we were open and actually our clients have sent an email assuring them that there would be a one bedroom changing it from a studio, and unfortunately, they werent able to come to any agreement, so as i said, were in support of taking dr and actually accepting the pla...

On where the parking is. I think people will be surprised how little of an impact this has when it actually gets hit on the street. The design is vastly improved. I dont know if you did the earlier design but if you did you vastly i am improved it. It remembers of van ness. Originally it was a good design but didnt not turn out as as well as originally planned and part was materialiality. I think your balconies add texture to it which they dont have and it looked like an office complex. I like this one but i hope we dont cheapen the design. I thank supervisor farrell in working on this and get...
