Although there are myriad issues that need to be addressed, I will limit my comments to the excessive height and bulk of the proposed project. Page 34 of the Central Waterfront Plan - Generally, building heights should not obstruct public views of the Bay from Potrero Hill. Public <U+201C>windows<U+201D> to the bay should be maintained or created from within the Central Waterfront by extending the street grid as much as possible through Port lands to give views of the water or maritime activities. It is my understanding that except for a 100<U+2019> strip along the Bay that belongs to the Port, this project is on private land, but it seems like the same objectives should apply to any project that close to the Bay. The proposed project fails to adequately protect the public view of the Bay from Potrero Hill and will create a wall of buildings along the waterfront blocking the public view of the bay and the hills beyond. It will also diminish, if not hide, the iconic stack which the developer claims as the focal point of the project. This issue can be addressed by significantly reducing overall building heights and with more separation between the taller structures. I<U+2019>ve heard a lot of criticism of Mission Bay for its lack of variation in building heights and design, but at least, except for the black monstrosity of the Exchange building, it does not totally obliterate the public view of bay. Allowing a block of 150<U+2019> <U+2013> 300<U+2019> buildings on the Power Plant site is irresponsible planning. I have included for your reference a photo that was taken at the corner of Pennsylvania Ave and 20th Street showing how the stack relates to the site and the public view from Potrero Hill to provide some context for my comments.

Letter of Support - Power Station-Dogpatch / Central Waterfront-DEIR Comments
I live on 23rd Street at Indiana <U+2013> 3 blocks to the West of the Power Station site. The Power Station is within Dogpatch. I support the addition of housing, recreation and transportation options outlined in the project DEIR to fill in current gaps in complete neighborhood services.

The Power Station is within Dogpatch. I support the addition of housing, recreation and transportation options outlined in the project DEIR to fill in current gaps in complete neighborhood services. As many in Dogpatch learned during the Dogpatch Central Waterfront Public Realm Plan <U+2013> Dogpatch is a neighborhood with gaps in neighborhood serving capabilities <U+2013> lack of street lights, no sidewalks in many locations including along 23rd St to the West of the site, no community facilities such as a library, athletic center or community center and some but limited green space with urban recreation. Local property owner reaction was the creation of Green Benefit District to maintain current street parks serving new developments and within a few blocks of the Power Station site. One recreation site is Progress Park that opened in 2012 and offers a bocce ball court and a new exercise area underneath the 280-freeway onramp. There are 3 priority areas where continued detailed discussions between project sponsor and neighbors continue with the current DEIR: ACTIVE RECREATION & OPEN SPACE WITH NEW WATERFRONT ACCESS On recreation, neighbors continue discussions with the project sponsor on details to add detail of open space with active recreation for all generations <U+2013> young children, adolescents, those with families and most important to my generation <U+2013> active senior services. More is better. COMMUNITY SERVICES WITH NEW HOUSING DENSITY Public community services that serve multiple generations such as community center, library or active athletic centers do not exist in Dogpatch, but do exist in neighborhoods to the West, to the South and built out to the North of Dogpatch with new development. All are missing in Dogpatch and needed with the population bump up over the next 10-15 years. There is good news to report <U+2013> those new and long-term neighbors in Dogpatch and adjacent neighborhoods continue the process of community meetings and ongoing discussions using the Draft EIR and Design for Development documents to guide conversations. Key benefits to current and future Dogpatch locals <U+2013> more housing options, addition of community serving facilities and new recreation uses not seen in Dogpatch is the proposed addition of a recreational dock on page 2-45 of the DEIR is a great example to honor on-the-water recreation. A detailed investment plan at each phase of the discussion is needed, as the population will grow exponentially over the next 10 years from the initial 1,800 people in 2016. CONSERVATION OF DOGPATCH HISTORY Safeguarding history is an ongoing priority in Dogpatch. More is better. The current plan to outline the priority of key structures should be studied and outlined carefully to insure Dogpatch history does not disappear. I support more housing and workplace density in Dogpatch presented by the project sponsor to focus attention on open space active recreation, new and current transportation options and preservation of historic neighborhood assets along the Southeast San Francisco Waterfront.

More housing at Potrero Power Station
Hello, I live in San Francisco, and am desperate for our city to build more housing. It's sad to watch people get driven out of our city due to a lack of available housing. I believe the Potrero Power Station plan is coming up for final approval soon. Please approve it with a minimum of 2,600 housing units. I'd suggest including more, and filling in some of the open space with housing, to make our ci… show more
