Decision about being the person you need to be. Its that you may even thrive as a lgbt person. Look at these people having lunch together. I think im here as a cheerleader for this and im tired of the big hole in the neighborhood in the middle of the block. I urge you to not consider hamburger marys a formula restaurant because its independently owned and management and i think that needs to be mentioned at least once. Thank you. President cindy wu thank you. Next speaker . Good afternoon commissioners. My name is allen nelson. I live in the neighborhood. The discussion on this project with extensive outreach, in fact we did an unprecedented thing. We for the First Time Ever put a vote to all the membership. Normally its 10 percent of the membership, if they show up to the meeting we base that attendance on the 10 percent. We ended up doing an online audited vote and im happy to say that we had 60 percent turnout about triple what our last election had and out of that election, 31 was
To impose. The question is thats one thing we can do. Im trying to get to whether we can make a motion today so we know what we are getting. Is it possible to say on a condition of approval that this project would adhere to our signage guidelines separate and part from the formula retail legislation rather than saying its up to it needs to comply with the signage requirements. So i think perhaps the condition that the project sponsor would further work with on the department on the location of the signage. Its my understanding of this use that there are distinctions between each of the locations even though its formula retail, thats part of the nuance of it that they do make distinctions between the different locations. Okay, working with staff, we already have our guidelines as lights and things. Okay. Excellent. Commissioners, condition no. 4 under design, it does say signage, any signs on the property shall be made to comply with the requirements of article 6 of the planning code if
Wanted to show the alternative envelope that the project sponsor proposed and i have to reiterate that this averaging rear zone does not apply to this property. It goes further back than it should. You see there are a lot of opportunities that has additional housing for folks here in the community. And i didnt really focus on this one, but i wanted to just reiterate that you know, rh 2, this comes right from our planning code, which includes these statements, these statements are devoted to one family and two Family Housing with two large flats one occupied by the owner and the other one for rental. This proposal does not match whats defined in the rh 2 class use of rh 2. There are plenty of options to meet this. And refocusing back on the property we lost, this was a property next to the museum and you can see this is what our property will look like, this will be 22 ord, 24 ord, this will be the top on state street and the other side of state street. Its going to be sloping up the hi
Upcoming residents and growth. The second piece, i think we do actually get to thinking about if bill is higher density. That bill is generating more demand for transit and contributing at a higher rate. The per square foot is a proxy for number of people or number of jobs, either residents or jobs. If you look at the eastern neighborhood fees you will see there is tiering where there is a lot of value and we allow the buildings to get very dense, people are paying at a higher rate and the financial fees ability is greater to contribute on those sites. Okay. I think what i was getting at i got from what you were saying what im getting at is i still feel there is a hanging conclusion there. I think the point the consultant came to and yes there is more gross feet and more floor for a particular block of land for higher density versus not a higher building, but i felt as though they were saying that in addition to that there are multi pliers to having the higher density districts in more
