Certain things but they are not calling it a bedroom at the current time based on what we see in the plans. I know commissioner moore would like to see plans. Maybe we can come back on the consent calendar if we have new drawings. Since the Planning Department is really shortstaffed and architects who can really look at everything, and i think it is for your benefit to give yourself the time and give us the ability to support you in a properly approvable project. Im trying to make it easy on you. I im asking that this project, if it comes back before we give it our approval. Did we get a second . Is there a sense the architect needs how much time four weeks. This is a week, maybe a few weeks a few days worth of work. We could resolve this issue fairly quickly. I understand the design. We can come back on consent. We could calendar this as soon as december 5th. Fine. Very good, commissioners. On that motion to continue this matter im sorry. Commissioner fung . These issues, while i am in agreement with commissioner moores issues, that they are not that difficult to resolve in terms of a redesign of its. I only accepted of the department recognizing those three points and going forth with their resolution as a condition of approval. Is there a second to the continuance . Is there an alternate motion . I will move to grant to the approval on the conditions, the three that were brought forth by commissioner moore be resolved by staff before they issue final approval. Second. So there is a motion that has been seconded to approve this matter with conditions is amended to include conditions to address issues at the entry way for two separate entrances and access to light for the lower level unit. By shaving the deck back. By shaving the deck back. And the third, it was the third matter . The visibility of the potentially second bedroom. And livability of the second bedroom. When did you say did you say about independent access . Entry, yes. It is not just the entrance. It is the entire unit that is clearly separated and cannot be connected to the second upstairs unit. Did you want to Say Something a point of clarification so i understand correctly, so the second point regarding the deck and then reducing the deck to make sure that theres no to make sure there is independent access, and also providing more access to light for the second bedroom, they are related. Reducing the deck is something often to do with privacy about where the stair is the person who comes down from the second unit going into the garden. My coming down directly into their living space. That is not indicative of a welldesigned two unit building. Understood. Very good. On that motion. [roll call] i made the motion. I still have to ask the question. [roll call] so moved. That motion passes unanimously 5 0. Commissioners, that will place us in item 16. 3945 judah street, this is a home s. F. Project authorization. Good afternoon, president melgar and commissioners. Im with department staff. The case before you is a request for a home s. F. Project authorization for the demolition of an existing one story commercial building, formerly utilized for the operation of a gas station, in the construction of a new fivestory over basement 50foot 55foot approximately 19,160 squarefoot mixeduse building containing 20 dwelling units, 2400 square feet of commercial space, seven offstreet Parking Spaces, and 24 bicycle Parking Spaces within the and c1 zoning district. As part of the home s. F. To your two project authorization, we are pursuing a [indiscernible] one additional story of height and five additional feet at the ground floor in excess of the height limit in exchange for providing 25 onsite affordable rental units. Members of the public expressing support says it will enhance existing commercial corridor, contribute affordable units and familyfriendly units to the neighborhood. In conclusion, we recommend the approval of the commission and believe it is necessary and if it desirable for the department for the community. [indiscernible] the budget will provide familyfriendly units and will contain two or more bedrooms and be located near amenities by open space and laundry rooms. The project will increase the citys Housing Stock by providing a total of 20 new dwelling units, five of which will be designated as onsite rental affordable units. This concludes our presentation. Im available for any questions. Thank you very much. Do we have a project sponsor . Good afternoon, commissioners Michael Leavitt of lovett architecture. This project was originally designed as a six unit residential project over commercial. That was what was allowed by the zoning. The redesign process, the home s. F. Legislation passed and we redesigned the project per the project sponsors request as the home s. F. Project that is in the current configuration that we will be looking at. The original project for code was 100 market rate housing. The revised project that we have put together here and we are presenting today will add 14 units above the sixth that were originally proposed. If i can get the screen up, please. Under the original zoning, the building would be allowed to be built to a 45foot height. It is indicated by the red arrow here on this section drawing. With the home s. F. Bonus, we are only adding an additional 10 feet to the building and this is 10 feet below what we would be allowed to add per code. Im sorry. It doesnt seem to be working. I cant get the next slide up, im sorry. Please keep making a presentation. Its fine. Its important you look at the visuals. It was working when i tested it earlier. Here we go. I got it. Sorry about that. Looking at the immediate context of the site just the sight mac, it sits at the commercial transitoriented corridor and ty residential block of 45th avenue. The commercial establishments are highlighted here in red. Pulling back to the larger context, we see the side of the far western edge of the city, near the land and sea intersection. Considering the forces that would affect the approach to the design of this building, we wanted to consider not only the typical context of the adjacent street and structure, but also this larger geographic context. Knowing that the building would stand above its neighbors, we attempted to create a form that braces embraces its height and speaks to its outer sunset location. Towards that end, building forms and material pallets were studied that would be appropriately evocative of the building in place. On the street side, the building rises to his full height at the lot line, running the full length of the frontage before culminating in a multilevel wall of floortoceiling windows at the western termination. We determined a form that was consciously directional toward the west would be inappropriate recognition of our location, literally on the western edge of the continent. As the building turns the corner to the 45th avenue frontage, the main mass of the Building Steps back in response to the smaller scale Residential Structures to its south. A setback allows for series of linear balconies, third through fifth floors and a private comment deck area on the second level. The setbacks seen here from the 45th avenue side also allow additional morning sunlight to reach a streetlevel park that is immediately across 45th avenue. Larger than other buildings on the block, our buildings to the north end of the block and therefore, cast very little shadow on the homes or yards behind it. The entire residential portion of the building sits atop a rough concrete base open on both street frontages with floortoceiling storefront glass. The main body of the building will be clad in painted wood, vertical order form citing, and the battens will be irregularly spaced in reducing the formality of the surface to create a relaxed feel. Similarly the bay windows and streetlevel planters will be clad in reclaimed wood, siding, adding warmth and textural interest to the facade. The streetlevel will beat further developed was street trees and landscaped areas. In conclusion we would like to say we think this project is a perfect example of what the home s. F. Legislation was trying to accomplish. We are adding four conditional areas of otherwise what would be allowed. Thank you. Thank you very much. We will now take Public Comment on this project. I have several speaker cards. If youre here to provide Public Comment, please come to line up on the last on the left as i call your name. Wexit. Wexit [calling names] good afternoon. Thank you for waiting for this. I am a resident on 44th avenue and judah, right around the corner of this project. I have not have seen what has evolved out of the original six unit planning, but as i look at this, im a little taken aback by the size and the context, out of context with the family oriented area in the Western Addition as we are out here in the sunset. I am all for more housing. I am really all for Affordable Housing. I am all for taking the parking lot that was the garage and doing something with it after 30 years of watching it desiccate. I do not agree with taking the bronx and turning it into manhattan. The reason we live out there is because we have our families and we have been constructing a world that has got a quality of life that we enjoy. This, as you can see by the picture, is unbelievably out of context with the neighborhood. You look at the last picture that was shown for this monstrosity to go beyond eyesight, and the houses that are singlefamily all over down the front. I enjoy going to the store across the street, and having a decent meal of good, healthy food. We wont be able to have that. What is worse is this is not a set of units that are for families. These are half of them that are onebedroom apartments. The rest of two bedroom apartments. You cant have families. If you did shoehorn families into these apartments, what you end up with is mothers and children having to schlep their way because theres no parking for this building, schlepping their way to the safe way to get their groceries and coming back, and what that means is no public transportation. That means a yellowjacket swarm of uber drivers, even more than they already are around that area. It is no more use in public trend of transportation with all the things that we have done to make that happen. Overcrowded, shoehorned in, no parking, and then two blocks away on 43rd avenue is a huge project which will be built for teacher housing with no more accommodation for car parking. Families have cars. This is how this works. It is ridiculous to think that they dont. I am against the size of this. Im very much for doing this. If we good step back to where the houses are consistent with the parking and consistent with the neighborhood, i am all for it. This isnt. This is a real estate bonanza and im not happy with it. I am happy with the thought of doing something with the blighted parking lot. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. I am one of the owner workers at other avenues that the person before me was speaking about. Our customers appreciate the surfing lifestyle that is out there and also all the families. I contacted because we have almost 32 kilowatts of solar on our roof. And at the height that they are proposing, it just barely makes it so that if they were to go any higher, it would start shading solar panels and we are across the street. And is one of our neighbors was talking about, most of the residences currently in the sunset dont even reach the district eight height limit of 40 feet. So most of those buildings around it are not even at 40 feet yet. This is almost going 20 feet beyond that. So as a Business Owner in the area directly across the street, we will be affected by the amount basically there wont be anymore sunlight coming into our store from that side. So we are concerned about the extension. We also appreciate the fact, myself personally, that they are trying to create b. M. R. In the city. I was applying for them all last year to no avail, but we just feel that this particular spot, given that it is pretty flat and this will jet straight out of it is not appropriate. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is ben and i have been a resident of the outer sunset for eight years. I support this project. I live four blocks away from the proposed project. I live in a four story, 12 unit, multifamily apartment building. My building his vibrant. It is home to senior citizens, families with young children, teachers, and working professionals like myself. We shop at local businesses, eat at local restaurants, attend local schools. We participate fully in the life of our neighborhood. My building was built in 1928. It makes me sad and sometimes angry that a building like my own seemingly could not be built today. My building is not enough. It is not modern, it is not accessible for old people or people with disabilities. It has led and toxicity issues of concern for very young children. The neighborhood needs more buildings like my own, but needs better ones. Multifamily, dens, accessible, modern, vibrant. This project is equally an issue of inclusion as it is of character. I support this project and i urge you to support this project , too. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. My name is david scheer. I live around the corner from this project. I am here to represent and transfer feedback from about 150 of my neighbors that have collected information. I actually hadnt heard about this project until about it at a week and a half ago and the postings were on the side and the neighbors starting contact started contacting me. I am an architect. I am able to translate the wordiness. Some support it and some people dont. I will share that survey information with you other than San Francisco i have been in a San Francisco for about 30 years. I bought a house or on 44th about five years ago. I remodelled a dilapidated 12 bedroom two bedroom to a threebedroom. I am planning and a. D. U. In the backyard. I also have a small almost nonprofit to support my neighbors in the neighborhood. And the reason i tell you all this is to say, as well as the first speaker, a project i support a project of this size. This one is far outside the bounds of what is reasonably natural for this area. My main issues are the home s. F. Bonus, which i agree with,. The affordable bonus provides an additional incentive of a story which makes this project so outsized. It is the average rent that are more than the average rents in the neighborhood right now. Im trying to present the feedback from 150 people here. Let me say that with such high opposition for this project, i dont want this to be a yes or no thing. I want to present a way for the developer to present something. Your time is up. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi. I am the neighbor that lives right next to where this construction is going to be happening. I have been living there for quite a while. I have been in the neighborhood since i came here when i was seven. I have been in the neighborhood for a while. It is definitely a bit jarring to think that such a huge construction project will be happening right next door and we have a few concerns, for example, regarding the sewage, and how such a huge unit is going to be maintained and handled. There is nothing of that scale on our block at the moment. Even with everyone at a small residential place, we have issues every day. We have plumbing issues. I just cant imagine something on that scale. Yeah, i think and theres just yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. I am living next door. I really appreciate the new no parking requirements. I am hoping you can take into consideration the nature of our neighborhood. Many older people and children over there. Parking and transportation is very inconvenient for these other people. Close to my neighborhood i saw some older people and [indiscernible] without a parking space it is very hard. Sometimes i work late. When im back home, it takes up to 20 minutes to find a parking spot currently. So if this building only has seven Parking Spaces for 20 units, i say [indiscernible] it cost a lot of parking. It is very crowded. Secondary, i am concerned that it will affect the neighborhood s air quality. Thirdly, im thinking, the sunrise is very beautiful place. This neighborhood is two blocks away from golden gate park. There are many visitors who park there and look a lot. It is a nice style to let people see. It is a desired result. [indiscernible] another concern is the chain effect. I think many people are owners. [indiscernible] [indiscernible] thank you so much. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Hello. My name is kyle. I am a resident on 48th and judah. Like the other folks before me, i share concerns about the height, the lack of parking, i certainly think that site should be developed and i think that first drawing would be appropriate for the neighborhood im not opposed to development, but it seems like it is a rather large building for the neighborhood. I appreciate it. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, commissioners my name is mike and i am a homeowner at 44th and kirk them. I am just outside of the 155 hundred 50foot notification range. I saw signs posted on a bus. Might assumption would be it would be under conditional use and would require 300 feet notification. One of the conversions in my neighborhood is on 44th, just down the street. Those contractors there took the cap off and they let 24 inches drain. They took all the toxins and dumped it into our groundwater supply. This station has been abandoned for a couple of decades because the tanks 235gallon gas tanks, with a power line over the top of them, have been leaking into the soils for decades. That is why it has not been touched. Theres no plan to remediate this and the environmental sight assessment, which was not included in the packet, but i did get from planning, is simply a walkabout. Theres no soil testing involved at all in this project. If you are concerned about the groundwater supply, and that that is the only time i have appeared before this commission to talk about adding groundwater to the potable supply. I would encourage you to have a good look at rejecting this draft notion. The reason being is our groundwater supply right now is quarantined from the regular supply, or at least was in the last rainfall season due to the contamination by industrial solvents. Similar to chemicals that are in gasoline. I am wondering where that stuff is coming from. Theres a dozen or so errors in the draft motion, so i will bring a couple of those to your attention while i have time right now. On page 13, the draft motion page 10 lists the supervisor rural district as eight. I know these boilerplate sort of things, but we are district four this i know because i ran for supervisor in the district a couple of times. You need to fix that. Another is the height indicates a 10foot bonus. Is actually more because it is billed at grade. It will be be it will be much more than 10 feet. That is the Southwest Corner of that construction. The bulk and massing is out of scale by a factor of two. It is twice as big as anything else within a 300foot notification range. The streetscape will continue with his own type construction to be built around town. Currently it is cracking open space. Occasionally we get christmas trees, and i would encourage the commission here to have a look at that as well. It is not low density. It is the same number of homes all on that one corner. It is on the entire length of the block. That is why a lot of people are objecting to it. There are number of options. There theres no assurances wont be built as a loophole for developers who are not built elsewhere. Thank you. Your time is up. Thank you, commissioners. Commissioner richards, congratulations and happy birthday to your mother. Next speaker, please. Hello. My name is erica. I live one block from the proposal. I also got no notice about this and found out about the upgrading of the proposal a few years ago, which i didnt object to the lower level. I found out about this one weeks ago. The project sponsor has done no Community Engagement that i know of not with the homeowners, not with the renters, and not with the business people. I dont see a community benefit. [indiscernible] this will be high priced housing it will not be inclusionary in terms of diversity in the neighborhood. I am working with a group and with supervisors to find sights for 100 Affordable Housing. I understand this is a private venture, but it absolutely is intrusion airy into the small beach Town Community and one of the only areas like that left in San Francisco. I need to tell you that i lived in a threestory building. I live and i own it. I have two below market right belowmarket rate housing areas. I have lived there for 40 years. I moved in as a young mother and i have a grandson that grew up right in there. It is a very small apartment with a beautiful view of the ocean. I enjoyed bringing my son up there and having the view. There has been no look about how it stays with the character and who it hits in terms of the views. That will block out a huge amount of use for me. I dont know any other people in the neighborhood. Yes, housing is more important than views, im with you on that , but Affordable Housing is more important than market rate housing. This project manager or project sponsor made no outreach to work with the neighbors at all. It is another form of silencing the voice of the local people. It fast attracts these types of projects through and it is really to me, home San Francisco is very close in terms of being able to mow over neighborhood character and people that live there and have lived there for years and made it a place that they want to thank you. Your time is up. Alrighty. Thank you. My name is dan and i was born and raised on 45th and judah. I still live there with my family and my four kids. I understand we have a problem housing, which a lot of it falls on all these companies. We have a very big problem. It is completely out of character. Is way too tall. I love driving down judah and you can actually see something this is a monster. Three stories i have no problem with. Five is complete the out of character. Of course, in support of that project, we actually find that it is too short. The project sponsor should show the additional stories so we can reach the 30 b. M. R. Ratio in that. That there is also too much parking. Last year if you remember, there were parking requirements. Why are we requiring the project sponsor to have seven . We know it adds anywhere between 100 to 200,000 per parking spot to build those. But what i will say, i am a neighbor of that project. I live on 48th and judah. I would love to live there. Me and my wife live in a two bedroom. We want to be able to have a newer construction where you can have families and a community instead of schlepping our laundry to the laundromat and biking [indiscernible] it is right on judah. If you are not proving the project that is on the most used transit corridor in this city, you are never going to be approving any transit parking. So it is a beautiful project. Theres too much parking. Should you delay that any further . No. It was created one home as of was Affordable Housing because there was a lot of misinformation going on around the sun set. A group of 40 neighbors get together and we were next door, coming to the meetings just to support that because we are a bunch of millenials, boomers, homeowners, renters, we are a very diverse group. We wanted more housing so our kids could live there. So when we saw that this project was under home s. F. , that was in 2018. We are in 2019 now. I was actually at that Community Outreach meeting right on the side. Not a lot of them were opposed to it. There were a few people who were [indiscernible] as you can see in the letters they were very supportive of it. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Thank you for your time. I am a resident of the outer sunset and i have been for over 14 years. I am also a Business Owner in the outer sunset. I own a restaurant across the street. Im so excited to see the slot developed. It has been a little bit of a sadness across the street from us for a long time, but at the same time, i feel like this is completely out of the character of our neighborhood. I moved to the sunset because i wanted to be closer to the ocean after being in the community for few years, i realized wanted to invest my family and myself into that neighborhood. That is why i decided to open a business there. Since then, many people have opened businesses on the block directly near this lot. We have worked together really hard to try to preserve what we see as a rich history in the sunset. It is a place that has had a lot of difference from the rest of the city. It is extremely diverse. It is kind of autonomous in an interesting way and that has been a benefit for people that live there and also a special way that our community has been able to create a different type of culture that has been celebrated by many of the residents in other parts of the city. So i think what i would like to request is that the Planning Commission consider that and consider that we do have a housing crisis. Nobody is denying that. Absolutely, please make sure we can get more housing in the sunset, but there are you have the power to incentivize different paths for addressing that problem, and right now the incentive is going toward something that will wipe out our neighborhood in a pretty short time and this is the beginning of that. Versus, you know, there are many other ways that you can do this. It is a different path you can go which will actually show respect and support for what this neighborhood is, and the residents that are close in it and how we are together to celebrate the neighborhood together as it is. I am requesting that this is slowed down. It is needing to have a larger conversation about what this neighborhood is. And what it wants to become and what the neighbors who have been there for quite a long time feel about where this should go. Thank you so much. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. Thank you for your time. I live on 45th and judah. I oppose the project for many reasons. The point i want to bring up is i think many of us were surprised. I know there is a 100foot radius, but this is a big project in a big deal for our neighborhood. I have been in touch with supervisor gordon mars office about this. One of the areas that we all see as an opportunity and supervisor marr agreed is there has been a much broader planning around terra vale street about how that neighborhood can evolve and how it can add Affordable Housing. To my knowledge, the effort hasnt been done. What do we believe about this neighborhood . How do we expect it to grow. I think what i ask is similar to what others have asked. We are not opposed to this being developed and not opposed to this lot being approved. Were certainly not approve approved opposed to Affordable Housing. What i would like to ask you is to think of ways that maybe we can slow this project down so we can have a broader conversation about what does the next 10, 15 years of Development Look like for the corridor and is it his office and if they are eager to be involved in that effort in many of us are in touch with him about how that can get started. Thank you to listening to us all today. We appreciate your time. Any other Public Comment on this item . Okay. Public comment is closed. I live on 304th and lincoln i have to walk 12 blocks to get a cup of coffee. So i make my own. We have three transit corridor doors in the sunset. This one is right on the train tracks. This is the definition of what we see every thursday as an opportunity site. It is a site that is empty. [please stand by] this is category exempt. I have to look at the actual environmental document to see if there was testing done. I am happy to chime in here. The exemption was class 32. For any of the gas station sites within the city and county, d. B. I. And other city agencies have a Robust Program for making sure that the sites are clean and appropriate for new development. That usually happens after the planning approval, once the process starts with other agencies. One other question for the project sponsor. Of the seven spaces you have, project sponsor . Come to the microphone. The question is for you. I am good with the last answer. How many of these seven spaces are car share spaces. Are what . Car share spaces. We dont have car share. We have one handicapped space. Five additional motorcycle or scooter spaces and 20 bicycle bicycle Parking Spaces, no car share. I would only approve with one car share space. We are removing three large existing curb cuts to provide five to six additional onstreet Parking Spaces that do not exist right now. Perhaps there is a way to demark one of those as on streetcar share space. I wish we could wave the magic wand. Iowa rather condition it inside the building. Thank you. Commissioner moore. I would like to ask you about no public outreach. Could you speak to that matter, please. Yeah, the project sponsor is actually here as well today. He can also come up to speak to that if he wishes. We had the preapplication review meeting on site, as somebody mentioned. I believe there were 50 or so at that meeting. We went through the entire project. There were people who requested information about the project andrewings to be sent and the drawers were sent. The people who requested that were sent the information. We didnt get a lot of negative feedback from that meeting. The project sponsor met with the neighborhood organizations subsequent do that as well. I would be interested in the kind of comments you wanted to make on the gas station cleanup. Commissioner richards felt comfortable. Thank you. Phase one study was completed at the site, and it was cleared for construction. If something is found during a phase one study, a phase two is requested. If there is dirty soil on the site a phase two is requested. That was not requested. The phase one study was completed. That site is considered clean. For my clarification so i wont keep you on that particular issue. Who are the people conducting the soil testing . Who signs up on them being sufficient . I would have to defer to the project sponsor. He requested for the Soil Sampling phase one work to be done prior to my involvement on the project. To the department, it is a little difficult when the commission is asked to listen to the public and we dont even have a background summary of that particular step. It seems to be multiple parties involved, there is a certain amount of vagueness how we are to understand not just for this project but for most other projects. We have to have a special session to get caught up on the real process. There seems to be all kinds of people doing all kinds of things without knowing what it is. This is all part of the environmental study. Phase one was submitted as part of the environmental. Chinningnecommissioner fung. Question for staff. Is there a demand for commercial in this neighborhood . This is a smaller cluster. Yes, it is one of the hubs just like one or two blocks of commercial corridor in that area. There are multiple commercial establishments around thistic site . Yes. In nc1, ground floor has to be cannot be residential . It can. The nc1 requires active use that can be residential. Thank you. Commissioner moore. I want to ask staff why our package was so much lacking information that the architect presented. The building and context was never shown. Materials were not disclosed. It is very difficult to support a project more than just saying, yes, floor plans are okay. We do not have the necessary bedrooms which is a big plus. In the three dimensional context that building raises questions because we have to deal with the reality while we are looking at a home as a project about which we can do little or nothing, we can still ask or talk about how is that project transitions to all four sides . Particularly on the adjoining residential street, the corner lot, it seems to be somewhat difficult building. The reality is very unique on its own which was not really much recall on what is around it. I am kind of wondering what dialogue can we have, do we have about helping the neighborhood understanding the transition to higher density housing when it at the moment there is nothing . What can we do . Commissioner johnson. Is that a question . Yes, i am asking the planner, the architect and reflecting on the community having a very hard time understanding of why we basically dont have much of a say that this project comes in. It is what it is. What can we do to make it more understandable to help . I do not have the tools either . To make it more acceptable, what can we do . Yes, we have additional renderings to give you a better perspective what the neighborhood would look like. The actual package should have the materials on the elevation drawings and there should be a rendering in there as well from the corner of 45th. We supplemented the visual with an additional rendering of the building looking back from 45th avenue towards the north. That is the only one. The main rendering from the corner of 45th and judah. Commissioner johnson. I live in a sister neighborhood of this project in the richmond, and in the richmond we have Single Family homes, we have two to four story buildings, we have multifamily units and we have huge buildings, particularly on the outer sunset side close to the ocean. Around the 1980s there was a shift to down zone different parts of the city including this neighborhood. I think one of the folks who came to speak in favor of the project shared that. For so many of us living in multifamily buildings or want to live in other neighborhoods there is limited supply. The only buildings left in the multifamily units affordable with families tend to house diverse populations or to live in buildings built in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s. My building hasnt been renovated since the 1970s. We are asking every single neighborhood in our community to open their minds to the fact that our city needs to change and evolve. That means more density. If we can get it the way we want to get it is to make sure we put density next to affordabilities. That is the homesf project. I think if you are trying to conceptualize what this will be like in the neighborhood i would encourage you to walk to the richmond side that has buildings this size. This is a modern design because this building is being built now. I would just say that i think i love this commercial corridor, i shop it and love the businesses. I think the businesses could also be supported by more density and 20 neighbors moving into this space will continue to bring vibrancy to the vibrancy that is already there. I also like the design. I have seen the materials in the packet. I did have questions as well about this site, and i think they have been answered. On a whole i am supportive of this project. I would make a motion to approve. Thank you. I will also before i let you speak again, i am also supportive of this project. I think when we had the debate around homesf, which was intense and long, we agreed to a consensus what homesf was going to look like. I think that this particular lot is almost a poster child for what we envision with homesf. It is 20 units, not 40 units. It is, you know, more affordable, more bmr units than if we built a six unit project with no affordable units. I like the design of this building. As you know, i am not a great fan of modern architecture, but i think this works. I live on the west side and spend a lot of time on the beach. My synagogue is out there.
