I would say as a contrasting to the project we just heard, there is public space and retail and other things that sort of integrated into the highly commercial district located in. I would say, i do think i agree, popus has been challenging for us. We have had comment from the public in the past that verifies something that anybody who has been to some of the Larger Hotels can see that they can be hard to find, hard to access. I think a group of youth tried to go to all and some they didnt have access to, some they couldnt find. There are renderings of roof top space in the package regardless. Is that just for hotel guests . Speaking through the chair, commissioner johnson, well build the roof top whether its the popus or not. If the direction is to put it on stevenson, which is where we would prefer rather than the staff recommendation, well still have the same roof deck that you see in the renderings. Thank you. So it sounds like then if we put it on the roof we would just have less
Story, 8 feet, from our patio area. This is a view looking at the section that will be demolished. The area that you see with the blue awning will come off and then you will see theres a covered shed area that will be essentially the new rear wall of the structure and it will not be a shed structure. It will be a full building structure. On the north side here to the right, you can see the wood siding. So thats the north side. There are windows that are on to and face the patio. On the left side, the southfacing side, theres a solid brick wall all the way up, so plenty of sound mitigation. Its a structure that will be demolished as part of the work. These are the only windows in the brick facade that face on to the patio and have faced it for 23 years. Based on the location and size we estimate they could be kitchens and bathrooms, but difficult to know. And on the opposite side, because of the Fire Department requirements, the lowest tier will be the only area where seating will be al
Through block or behind the lobby. It breaks the continuity of the Market Street store front and alike. Likewise, the long narrow alley doesnt offer anything but a dark passage way. Initially we didnt like stevenson street, therefore we proposed to put it where you have in your package but staff is right, the way it is in your package is less than ideal. We propose to the commission that you improve this conditional use with a provision that the popus be returned to the roof, the 2400 square feet on the roof is sunny, it has nice views, nice amenities. Its very much the neighborhood pattern. If thats not the preference, we believe we can work out popus on stevenson as a forecourt to the lobby. With that, we would like to hear the thoughts the commission may have on the popus location and other thoughts on the hotel design and we hope for your approval. We think its a fine infill project to fix a broken tooth on Market Street. Opening up to Public Comment. Cynthia gomez. Good afternoon
Elevation to stevenson. When we think of popus, we can put it on market, stevenson, through block or behind the lobby. It breaks the continuity of the Market Street store front and alike.

Overturn the denial of the Building Permit and approve them with a scope of work that was approved by the variance because if you approved it for a larger scope of work that would not make sense because the variance would have been approved already for that limited scope of work. So essentially if the variance is upheld tonight a maximum extent is locked in. And if the variance is denied tonight, then well see them in another year when they come back they would have an option so the city charter allows, basically if you have a project disapproved, you can, one year later, basically apply for essentially the same project. Or change the project, yeah. Yeah, and right now, youd have to change it in a way that would be significantly different from the original project. You cant tweak the project and say its a different project. It has to be a significantly different project. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioners the matters submitted. Variance commentator. Because i always comment . Ex
