Agree there are positive features of the plan that deserve our support and your and we believe this raises questions about the adequacy of this plan to address longterm Housing Needs especially considering enormous investment into the corridor plan. We dont believe that western soma doesnt take advantage of the e eir capacity. We have talked about architects and rear yard setbacksis better understood as a land banking plan than promote the type of urban youth we would like to see. We question why the Zoning Administrator is prevented from making rulings in western soma he might be able to make in other parts of the city and regarding that gap on impact fees where do the fees come from if a plan is designed to restrict development . We think it has a lot of work to do on it yet. Thank you. Good afternoon commissioners, i am kowg cane and Hotel Designer and developer. As you can see there is going to be a lot of conflict over this particular western soma district. I would like to call yo
Exist forever. No dangers that we will lose any of the existing night clubs. Stronger Building Code standards are written into the plan and placed the burden of sound proofing for venues. Clubs as kobe mentioned will have the rights to expand. Would change the club to allow non conforming status to continue on even beyond the demolition of the current building and continue that entertainment use after new construction is completed. We allow all forms of entertainment for expansion in the new area south of harrison street. Its just a logical extension of the purposes of the sally Zoning District to have the service and Light Industrial uses with the prohibition of Housing Units it seems like a natural extension if the Entertainment Industry does need to expand sally seems like its the place for that to occur. Im sorry. We also welcome entertainment to be part of the folsom Street Commercial corridor through limited live performance. We dont increase residential capacity along 11 ethstre
Back. We redesigned the building so there is only one bedroom and studio apartmentos the front of the building so there are no family buying units on the front of the building so we made those changes in response to our meetings. We thought that met their concerns. I explained that with modern Architectural Design and other modern design there is no measurable sound coming from 11th street into those units so i feel they are compatible uses. The incompatibility that is being discussed is coming from older buildings with no acoustic insill laigz and designed long ago. If i was a young person i would be delighted to live on 11th street and i went to clubs all the time. I think there are lots of people that would like to live in the area so what happened in 2005 after we made the changes that the night Time Entertainment industry was requiring of it, which i was happy to do, and then they came back and any type of housing isnt compatible with night time uses so after i redesigned the buil
Prevented from making rulings in western soma he might be able to make in other parts of the city and regarding that gap on impact fees where do the fees come from if a plan is designed to restrict development . We think it has a lot of work to do on it yet. Thank you. Good afternoon commissioners, i am kowg cane and Hotel Designer and developer. As you can see there is going to be a lot of conflict over this particular western soma district. I would like to call your attention to three zones of influence which have not been discussed today and those three zones are specifically midmarket development and the Grocery Store zone. I call it a zone. That is from trader joes all the way to food co including rainbow and costco which is really the Grocery Shopping area of the city and to a lesser extent the eastern neighborhoods housing restrictions which work with the midmarket development to really encourage development in this area in western soma, and if you take housing off the table wes
Info memo. You have had a lot of material. I think what i will do is focus on the disposition plans and then get, allow for more time for questions and comments. This again today is not everything that is going to be in the disposition plan. What im going over quickly with you today is the ones that is a subset. Its just the ones that were either to be determined for the workshop or unclear disposition plan. Thats the focus of this one today. So just quickly im just going over one quick brief slide about what basically our alternatives under the dissolution law and you can see here the property that im focusing today are the parcels and the Shipyard Parcels and the Shipyard Community parcels and the Mission Bay Park parcels and the yerba buena gardens and well go through timeline because we are in the homestretch of this plan. So just briefly just to review what the alternatives are the 1st that we can retain. If we have an asset that has a governmental purpose of some sort, then in th
