Experience, i live off king street. People coming off of 280. Its the potential setup, and the front enter rabs to my building and all the other ones are on king street, and its a good thing because it puts people on the street. I want to see this then reorganized to have at least one entrance it doesnt have to be the main entrance things, but it has to be some entrance on vanness, and so i would say those are the things that i would like to see different about this project other than do the state density bonus. Commissioner moore. Director, my understanding is if you have an understand on vanness, your front door has to be on vanness. That is a requirement that is a requirement. The post office will not accept a building that has a vanness address and they have to deliver to some other obscure whatever there is a big fight on buildings nc 3, who for whatever reason didnt want to be off Market Street, but chose to have their address one off whatever. I very vividly remember the post of
Mcmansion . How is it in the best interest to tear down a modest housing or how is it in the best interest i have no problem with this guy building modest housing, but five levels . Finally, ask the commission not to reward the project sponsor who refused to rent or acknowledge and fought to keep this unit off the book with permission to demolish rental housing and building something that we all know will never be rented, will be only for the 1 of the 1 . Thank you. Thank you, next speaker. Please. Hi. I agree with the tree on the castro, as someone who rides that bus all the time. Its difficult for me to understand how this project meets the criteria of protecting the relative affordablity of existing h housing, which it must meet as part of the granting of the cu. Demolishing a structure that may or may not have a small unit on the site, and creating a huge singlefamily home that will sell for many millions of dollars does not protect relative affordablity. If this project was to pre
Fantastic point about the union street west facing facade. I dont think that building is i mean, i think maybe the facade of anything might be historic, but that would potentially be an opportunity for facadism for another project. I do believe that all of the neighbors wi neighbors of that building will be here with the pitchforks when something in the future is planned, because starting with the third story about, if anything goes in there, it will be blocking some views, and not just views, but light because theres not a huge space between those buildings. I do think that thats slightly problematic, but on the flip side, theres the example of a building right on polk street where they tried to account for that, and theres just a blank space of an apartment and in anticipation of something going in next to it, and thats been the case for like 15 years. So you know, sometimes its dammed if you do, dammed if you dont, and if there is a building that goes in, itll have to be something m
We live all around this. My family has been in this neighborhood for 30 years. This project is truly a creative request to develop four units on one lot with a second unit building in the back. Theyre going to take that two unit building and eadd an adu n an illegal office thats been there for years. Theyre going to take the front building and demolish it and building a mansion resulting in 6,000 square feet on one lot. I worry about allowing demolition of rental housing, that they refuse to acknowledge. Housing that i looked at. This mcmansion will have negative impacted on the neighborhood, way out of the neighborhood scale. I drive down castro driving to my favorite place. You all know where that is, and im really concerned about the facade of this street. There is a three quarter of a Million Dollar variance, a three quarter Million Dollar top floor penthouse chlts theres 2 million of greed in this house. The front building was built in 1909 as a Grocery Store with a unit in back.
