Shame and more than that harmful to lose that open space. Its understanding open green space and hard scaped. It has an impact again on how people con agre con gra gate ane space and the heat related increases as people are more and more concerned about global warming. And water run off. So again, were in favor of housing and keeping the grown gn space. Thank you. Supervisor yee next speaker. Good afternoon. My name is barbra brener. I am here as a neighbor of the 3333 california project. Im in favor of over turning the Planning Commissions approval of the Developers Plan as currently submitted. I speak in support of building 700 plus units on the site but with the strategy that is less didisruptive. Theres been a pattern of impropriety with the proposal before you. The site would have caused modifications in the design. In addition, flexible retail was never discussed nor was it mentioned in the Environmental Impact report so neighbors had no ability to consider it and respond. The e.
Landmark. Laurel hill gardens cemetery. As well as the cemetery, for San Francisco pioneers u. S. Senators and civil war heroes, its a treefilled park for San Francisco residents. Since i noticed the Historic Cemetery plaque missing from the red brick wall a few years ago, i wondered why would anyone want to erase this history. It made me sad. Well, as a result, it seems that the job of marking and memorializing this important San Francisco landmark has been left to its survivors, the trees. Some of these large, old growth trees are monument to this lost history. In addition to the history, many studies have reported that the loss of large, old trees leads to an over all loss of urban biodiversity. They are critical ecological structures because relative to their size, they are disproportionate providers of resources crucial to wildlife. Its times of Necessary Development and help preserve the landmarks that define your cities rich history. Concern neighborhoods are not anti developmen

This shows frequent shadows on the lower walnut walk and the square which the developer proposes to use as Community Benefits and open space. These proposed areas would be shaded mostly by the proposed buildings for much of the day or year. The city procedures provide that shadows must be studied if the use of open space could be adversely effected. And it doesnt matter whether the open use controls. The city failed to conduct a cityrun planning process. And the developer described his proposed project to the commun
Consistent with the policies and objectives of the citys general plan. The appeal also demands specific modifications to the project including the following. Limiting the height and modifications to the reuse Center Buildings and a reduction of the new building near laurel and euclid to preserve more open space and further limits on the types of nonresidential uses proposed. Related to the height of the Center Buildings, the Planning Commission supported the overall scale including the height because their placement in the center of the site set back from the public rights of way was a project objective. The project would place shorter buildings along the perimeter between 40 and 65 feet to serve the transition to the taller buildings in the center. A reduction in height of the Center Building would result in a reduction in dwelling unit count or to keep the unit count consistent, 744, and increase to other proposed New Buildings along the perimeter and compromising the compatibility.
