Body
BACKGROUND
On June 13, 2019, SSF Housing Partners, LLC (AGI/KASA) submitted an application for a mixed-use development on a 5.9-acre site, known generally as the "PUC Site" since it was acquired from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
INTRODUCTION
Given the size and breadth of this proposal, City staff has scheduled two meetings with the Housing Standing Committee to review the project. For this meeting, the staff report summarizes the proposed project, project area history, relevant legislation, community outreach process, and the preliminary architecture analysis and project level environmental review. The second Housing Standing Committee study session on this project, tentatively planned for September, will provide supplemental analysis based on feedback from the Standing Committee and Design Review Board.
The Design Review Board provided initial feedback on the proposed architecture, massing, design and landscaping elements of the project at their July 16, 2019 meeting. Their comments are summarized below, incorporated into this review submittal, and will be addressed by the applicant as part of their second Design Review Board hearing on August 20, 2019.
