Coming next year whose spirit is stream lined, stop obstructing, delaying, build more housing, and this is absolutely the time. We need the housing. As much as folks would like, its not possible to build a wall around the mission. Somehow thats going to help whats going on there. This is a citywide crisis that affects every neighborhood. Approve this project without delay. Thank you. President hillis thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi. My name is richard hack. Ive heard these are a lot of good arguments. Just a couple of things, the architecture of this project and the one before are hideous. I mean, they look like shopping bags or boxes. Our Architectural Commission created a lot of create buildings. I wonder here what happened to the architecture. The demand to live in San Francisco is almost infinite. Its absolutely impossible to build enough units to drive the rents down. Now and then theres a little dip, because markets fluctuate, but thats not a valid argument and should be reje
Again, this corner is highly, highly trafficked at most times of the night. Its not the kind of corner where people can stop and jump out and get back in. Its really challenging. Thats going to be it doesnt mean dont do the project, it just means theres a challenge. The last thing ill comment on in terms of affordability, i concur with the staff just to go further the project has a gray area with affordability. It gets the density decontrol it would have had with home sf which requires 30 but yet not there. Its also not at the inclusionary level that was passed this past summer or even the inclusionary level passed that was mandated temporarily through the last version of prop c. So i do think that theres some benefits being conferred here that are positive. We want to see more units but at the same time, its not giving the affordability we would have seen through home sf or if the project were subject to the affordability in the recently passed legislation so im supportive of the staf
On where the parking is. I think people will be surprised how little of an impact this has when it actually gets hit on the street. The design is vastly improved. I dont know if you did the earlier design but if you did you vastly i am improved it. It remembers of van ness. Originally it was a good design but didnt not turn out as as well as originally planned and part was materialiality. I think your balconies add texture to it which they dont have and it looked like an office complex. I like this one but i hope we dont cheapen the design. I thank supervisor farrell in working on this and getting it to where it is. Hopefully the retail will be active. It is a tough corner but youre wine shop is doing well and making it there so hopefully that retail will add to the vibrancy of whats there. So very supportive. Commissioner richards. I didnt make the motion but id like to add the condition we have carshare spaces. The planning code only requires one and i think what we would say is the

Collapsing of the number of different buckets to put things in we dont want to go opposite and say yeah. Lets put paperwork around 24 semipartion this cleans it up. So again you know im were here to ive you can promote the interests of Small Businesses to the extent it makes sense for this Small Businesses in the city collectively so just thinking about whatever we might motion and the request we might make to each the departments. Dont look to me for another motion. So i think we have at least one motion on the floor which is to request the department to go back and take a look at the 5 thousand and do on assessment about i think to do an assessment where the 5 thousand comes from and if there are considerations for the possibility of an increased amount. Yeah, so well, the motion on table to increase from 5 thousand to 10 thousand if you want to withdraw that we can took at approach. We can ask them to look at the 5 thousand. Okay. So look at.
