Within the commercial districts on ninth, tenth and folsom one story of office is permitted and right now there is none on harrison street and its only allowed in the wmoug in the enclave districts and landmark or article 10 or 11 buildings. Pdr and arts like a lot of districts in the city. Most pdr uses are permitted as a right except in the rad except with the exceptions of some of the uses that are allowed in pdr1 and pdr2. Arts activities and allowed in many districts . The city and. And in western soma protecting the arts is a big deal and generally committed throughout the planned area especially within the sally district. Again this goes to the split height, the way that you chief the additional height in sally is dedicate one story in the building to permanent arts activity use and whichever story you dedicate is 15 feet high so you get the extra 15 feet that way. Night Time Entertainment currently not permitted in the district but as a conditional use in the sso and a small am
Entertainment, and when they get to discussing how theyre going to make all of that work i hope you will remember the discussion that were having today. Okay. Everybody loves fun. You cant be against fun, and night Time Entertainment is an integral part of the fabric of south of market, so let me make it very clear from the very start there was never any notion of restricting putting on any additional restrictions on night Time Entertainment. Our goal from the very beginning was to ensure we would find a better way to make it Work Together and everybody is full a lot of good ideas to improve what we have. Nobody wants to poor cold water on them but unfortunately the good ideas tend to involve somebody elses neighborhood. Now were talking about our neighborhood here. Nobody understands the impacts of entertainment like the residents of south market. We have the greatest concentration of place of entertainment permits in the entire city, so no matter what anybody tells you south of marke
Thank you. Next speaker. Let me call some more names. calling speakers . Good afternoon commissioners, president fong. I am john gold man and i presented at your two previous meetings and i am here again. Presented ideas of grandfathering in certain projects. We are the architects and we designed to the building to reflect the concerns and there are studio apartments along 11th and the two bedrooms are away from 11th and we designed the building to meet a kooftic requirements so there is no sound transfer so i am here to reiterate again with proper design and unit mix and arrangement and acoustic design and i like the idea of it on 11th as long as you can do that and the night time times are great and our project which has been in submittal for seven years and we didnt proceed because we wanted to piggyback on the eir that was approved today after seven years ago. There was never reason for me to do that and get my own project going so what i want to emphasize here and cory teague and
Conforming to has a right fully permitted is not going to allow the clubs to be any noisier, to be anymore outrageous in terms of their impact on the neighbors. Either way theyre zoned the same standards are going to apply, no difference. Down zoning the neighbors which most of these options would result in is not going to stop them from complaining whether they are fully permitted or non conforming, conditional use, the neighbors have every right to complain if a venue is out of compliance. Basically this has been written into law for a thousand years. The basic mans home is his castle now translates down to everyone is entitled to the peaceful and quiet use and enjoyment of their home. The western soma process as we described at our first informational hearing was a process of inclusion. The arts and the entertainment are represented on the task force. We had three town hall meetings. Entertainment was on the agenda for each of the meetings. 200 or more residents and Small Business o
Essentially the same thing except jumping folsom street to capture the two corner lots. One reason is because one of the existing its vacant but existing night time intraim entertainment location is on the north corner there and see the club and there is another varant taking it across folsom street and 2c is basically doing the same thing, rezoning the corridor to sally, but also taking the two alleys on either side of the corridor and taking the existing residential lots and soft sites within the alleys and making them new enclave districts for Residential Development exercise what that essentially does, and you cant see it too well in the screen here but in the printow i believe you can. It does rezone sally so essentially new night Time Entertainment is permitted, but the buffers that we spoke about before would apply to these rad districts and the buffers would extend over that corridor except a small portion of the northern corner, the soft site, so essentially all of the corrido
