2/20 Item 14: SPUR supports One VassarDear Planning Commissioners: One Vassar LLC presented the One Vassar project to SPUR<U+2019>s Project Review Advisory Board at our February 5, 2020 meeting for review and consideration.

The SPUR Project Review Advisory Board finds this development proposal to be an appropriate set of uses for this location and endorses the development of One Vassar at 400 2nd Street, 645 Harrison Street and 657 Harrison Street. SPUR affirms that One Vassar: Is located at an appropriate location for development, near major transit and infrastructure and not on a greenfield site. Provides an appropriate mix of land uses of residential, office, hotel, retail, PDR and childcare, contributing to a diverse stock of housing, fostering economic development and providing amenities and services to the surrounding community. Provides sufficient density Creates a good place for people and contributes to a walkable environment with active ground floor uses and retail along the street frontages We are impressed with this project<U+2019>s proposed mix of uses <U+2013> housing, office, hotel, retail (including the market hall), PDR and childcare <U+2013> many of which address some of the urgent needs of San Francisco and San Franciscans today. The open design and mix of uses at the ground plane of this project are likely to lead to a healthy level of pedestrian activity. The Central SoMa Plan is one of the most important planning efforts in the Bay Area today, and One Vassar helps to realize the place- making and public benefits envisioned by the plan, as well as connecting to adjacent Rincon Hill and Transbay districts. Please see attached letter for complete review of this project. Thank you.

Support 2012.1384ENX/OFA/CUA/VAR: 400 2nd Street, One Vassar, 645 and 657 HarrisonDear President Koppel, Vice President Moore, and Commissioners Diamond, Fung, Johnson and Richards, I am writing in support of the wealth of community benefits this project will bring to our neighborhood, and the rich mix of uses that should contribute to the lively public realm to which we aspire here in the Central SoMa area.

The childcare facility, food hall, mix of open space offerings and attention to pedestrian amenities are particularly needed. The project sponsors have initiated and maintained communications with neighbors over the long gestation of the project, and have already improved an adjacent mid block crosswalk at neighbors<U+2019> request to improve safety for the many who walk in this area. Though road congestion is well beyond capacity in Central SoMa, this site is well-situated to be served by existing transit lines and good connections to the north, east and south bay areas. I encourage your thoughtful review of this project, and your support. Sincerely, Alice Rogers .......

Support for the 657 Harrison project
I'm a resident a few blocks away and want to express my support for the 657 Harrison project being discussed in the Planning Commission today. The project will bring 489 new homes to the area, much needed to compensate for San Francisco's jobs / housing imbalance. Best, Svilen Kanev (310 Townsend St)
