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.

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.

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.
