2018-010655DRP / 2169 26th Avenue Discretionary Review
Dear Planning Commissioners, Please DO NOT TAKE discretionary review. Instead APPROVE this project. I am fully supportive of my fellow San Franciscan, Kai Chan, wanting to maximize the number of new homes on this huge lot at 2169 26th Avenue. I am excited that from only one current home, Kai is creating not only a 2nd home, but also the opportunity to add a 3rd and a 4th homes thanks to ADUs. From one home to four, t… show more

2169 26th Avenue
Dear commissioners I am writing to OPPOSE the project at 2169 26th Avenue. I have been a resident of 26th ave for 35 years. The proposed project is completely out of character with our neighborhood. Our modest homes are anywhere from 1500 to 1800 square feet. The proposed monstrosity of two single family homes at 4000 square feet each is absolutely absurd. According to the planning department guidelines, new building… show more

Dear Commissioners, I am writing to you to voice my opposition to the proposed mega mansions project at the above address.

Opposing project at 2169 26th Avenue

In an effort to try to provide more housing the commission is tarnishing a local neighborhood and clearly does not understand that property owners are turning single family homes into multi unit apartment profit centers. Drive up and down the sunset houses and you instantly see the side effects of what the commission is allowing in our neighborhood. Head to Santiago between 27th Ave & 28th Ave to see the effect that 2 three stories houses have had on the aesthetics of the block. Recently to meet the parking need the city had to creating one of the only residential blocks in the Sunset to have 90 degree parking due to the amount of vehicles that 2 three story houses created. As a resident of the neighborhood I cant understand how taking an existing house & converting it into 2 three story houses with an backward addition doesn<U+2019>t violate the look & feel of the neighborhood. In an effort to take in more permit fees this office is violating the Sunset neighborhood. Changing it for the worse & setting a precedent that cannot be undone. This commission is pushing single families out so that multi unit commercial buildings can be built in its place. We oppose the construction of the monster homes proposed on 26th Avenue. The Sunset District is a neighborhood of modestly size homes of about 1500 square feet. What happens when a 4000 sf <U+201C>house<U+201D> springs up and out on 26th avenue? How will the neighbors across the street react when their views of the ocean that are a hallmark of the Sunset District are obstructed? How will the neighbors to the right and to left react when the 4-8 airbnb/vrbo renters check in after 5pm & checkout before 12pm for 52 weekends? What will happen next when more properties get bought and built into 3 story houses with backyard extensions? The responsibility lies in your hands but the consequences of your actions will be felt by the neighbors who will be living hear for the next 20-30- 40-50 years. The Planning Department<U+2019>s Residential Guidelines state that the design of new buildings and renovations to existing buildings be compatible with nearby buildings. Drive up and down 26th avenue and find a house that comes anywhere near the specs that this proposed development match. In particular, I object to the size of the proposed homes. We have a strong, mid-block open space and want to preserve it. It<U+2019>s wonderful to look our rear windows and see greenery, vegetable gardens, birds and nature, NOT STARE AT WALLS! Our block was designed in the late 1930s to provide this amenity to its residents and it is essential for it to be maintained for quality of life. The height and depth of the project will negatively affect the enjoyment of our backyards areas. Our understanding is that the City protects the mid-block open space and will NOT allow these monstrosities to destroy it. We do not want the unique character of our block and the privacy in our open space/garden areas compromised by this project. We encourage the commission to take DR and modify this project to eliminate the rear extensions and implement the recommendations proposed by the Design Review Team. Thanks Marco Innocentishow more

Dear Planning Commissioners, I am reaching out in regards to the proposal at 2169 26th Avenue.

My parents have always been and still are active participants in the neighborhood and help foster a true sense of community on the block. They take pride in their home and neighborhood. The proposed buildings next door are being built by a developer from Los Angeles who has no vested stake in the housing needs of San Francisco or the character of the neighborhood; the project is designed solely for his profit. These houses are not going to add low income or moderate priced housing stocks. Who can afford homes that are almost 4000 square feet in size? Only the very wealthy!! The Sunset District is a working class, quiet neighborhood of modestly size homes of about 1500 square feet. These homes will not add to the character of our neighborhood and certainly disrupt the cohesive feel of our block. The plans include backward extensions at the ground level in addition to the 2nd and 3rd stories. Three story homes are a rarity in this area, but two 3 story homes, side by side, with backward additions is an unacceptable MASS. The height and depth of the project will negatively affect the enjoyment of our garden areas. There are no houses on the block that are this size or extend past the common rear walls and out into the mid-block open space; the proposal goes against existing precedent and character of the block.

While we understand that more housing is needed in San Francisco, these almost 4000 square foot homes are being built for the owner<U+2019>s family members: they will NOT add to the housing supply and they definitely don<U+2019>t represent anything affordable. We have made multiple attempts to negotiate with the owner, but he is a developer from Los Angeles and hasn<U+2019>t been forthcoming with information or alternatives that might lessen the impact of his project to neighbors.

He says he<U+2019>s building the homes for his sons, one of whom is 25 yrs old and unmarried; the other son lives in Hong Kong and has NEVER been here during this process. Why would these single males need 4000 square foot homes that contain many bedrooms, a game room, a study, a family room in addition to a living room. Architects have reviewed his plans and have stated that they scream.. DEVELOPMENT. The owner was renting rooms out through AIRBNB, further alienating neighbors and proving that his motives are strictly PROFIT. The proposed homes are too large. Tthey impose at the street level and they do nothing to enhance the neighborhood. The Planning Department<U+2019>s Residential Guidelines state that the design of new buildings and renovations to existing buildings be compatible with nearby buildings; these are not! Their size dwarfs the adjacent homes, decreasing market value while setting a dangerous precedent for more projects of this size. The Sunset District is a place where single family homes of a moderate size are the character we want to protect. In particular, I object to the size of the proposed homes. They are TWO, 3 story buildings that, side by side, present an unacceptable, imposing bulk on 26thAvenue. They completely overwhelm neighboring properties and provide little visual interest in architecture and/or design. We have a strong, mid-block open space and want to preserve it. It<U+2019>s wonderful to look our our rear windows and see greenery, vegetable gardens, birds and nature, NOT STARE AT WALLS! Our block was designed in the late 1930s to provide this amenity to its residents and it is essential for it to be maintained for quality of life. The proposed building plans indicate that rear additions will extend out into the backyard area with multiple decks and balconies. These extensions are incompatible with any homes on 26thAvenue. There is NO home on the West side of 26thAvenue that extends living space out beyond our common walls and these proposed homes should not be allowed to do so. It sets a destructive precedent and is something we, as neighbors, are actively against. We oppose the construction of the monster homes on 26thAvenue.

Planning Commission members used to work pro bono, and their highly valuable oversight should be greatly appreciated by all SF residents and citizens. We are homeowners of and reside at 2134 26th Avenue, across the street from the 2169 26th Avenue, but over 150 feet away. The Discretionary Review Abbreviated Analysis (DRRA) is the first we are seeing of this in writing. Its Product Description mentions creating TWO single family residences on what it lists as an RH-1, <U+201C>one family<U+201D> zoned house. Later in the document the Project Sponsor proclaims his legal right to do what he wants with his house (singular). The Environmental Review states the Planning Department has granted an environmental review exemption for 2169 26th based on a Class 1 CEQA (under 10,000 square feet). I question that an alteration that's under 10,000 square feet is <U+201C>Minor,<U+201D> on a block where the average structure area is 1,600 square feet. The entire large lawn at 2169 26th looks artificial. I think the proposed two buildings on the single family dwelling lot at 2169 26th Avenue are not in character with the rest of the homes on this block. It affects one's <U+201C>feeling of space<U+201D> and <U+201C>feng shui,<U+201D> ultimately affecting the neighborhood (despite the Project Sponsor's stated goal of <U+201C>ushering the Sunset into the future<U+201D>). The homes on this block were built around WW II. The architectural styles range from Minimal Traditional to Spanish Revival. Two gawking three-story structures on our block would be incompatible with the aesthetic and quiet nature of this single-family neighborhood, visually and aurally. Homes across the street would suffer viewing an odd, oversized structure, probably blocking their afternoon sunlight. Homes in the back would see less open backyard space. Especially with the addition of back balconies on a structure extended backward, there is the possibility of elevated noise when the balconies are populated. Our experience with a back yard neighbor on 25th Avenue who built a legal, compliant, but large deck, extended in our direction, is that when their guests are enjoying the balcony on some evenings,the noise level is significant. Invariably, renovated homes around here, albeit with requisite plans for a one-car garage RARELY use the required space for cars, and instead are rented to tenants with up to three cars. I've never seen anyone at 2169 26th Avenue, so I estimate that address will contribute a net addition of three cars to the block. Solar Panel obstruction? San Francisco is in the 37th Latitude North, meaning that rooftop photovoltaic panels are mostly exposed to and harvest more electric energy from a southern sun. My southerly next door neighbor, 2138 26th, has a <U+201C>setback<U+201D> third story, whose shade renders our installing panels useless. That the very mention of blocking someone's solar panels would be blocked by any of 2169 26th Ave's construction merits a look by the City. It looks like the Roddys would be in a similar situation, with shading cast by added 3rd story/ies. A shading analysis can done which would show the annual sun and shade at every point on the roof. If this is a sincere concern, any homeowner just north of 2169 can contact solar professionals or even borrow tools for this at PGE's Pacific Energy Center on Folsom Street for free. The Discretionary Review Abbreviated Analysis mentioned at least three families originally had concerns about the size of the buildout in the back. Though it's commendable that the Project Sponsor states he made rear area concessions (though the DRAA doesn't say by how much) to a fourth family, the Kim family, I wonder why he didn't communicate with the three. Observance of Safety and Quality Workmanship contractors: San Francisco is in the midst of a business development boom. Trade union workers are busy. The focus is on downtown, Mission Bay, SOMA, the Mission, and other areas. The SF residential real estate market is insane. A lot of flippers and residential homeowners are doing major renovations. While the microscope is on the above commercial development and its strict labor and hiring practices, no one seems to be looking at Mom and Pop property owners and the work practices in contractors they hire. Many of these workers look ill-trained and lack common sense. Our next door neighbor at 2138-26th Ave bought his house from a flipper who did such shoddy work it caused him and his family grief and expense, in having to re-do much of the work. Additionally they tossed so much trash and debris into the back yard, a small mountain of construction materials and perishables. They also dropped a window in the back yard of the neighbor south of them, 2142-26th Ave. Though the niece of the flipper said her uncle was an electrician in the "old country," the next owner experienced faulty wiring in the Ethernet RJ-45 and coaxial cable connector panels all over the house. The new owner also experienced constant circuit breaker tripping. A contractor ran non-metallic-insulation conductors ("Romex"), coded for use behind drywall, from the solar panels along the outside of the house. This was non-compliant with National Electric Code--the conductors can easily abrade with building exterior and fasteners. About two years ago, this house had what the SFFD posted as a "Structural Fire," that required over a dozen trucks and vehicles. I worked my way through college, painting industrial-scale buildings in the S.F. Bay Area. Nowadays, watching some of the practices of some of the proliferation of "contractors" in the City's neighborhoods, I'm amazed: two people on a single ladder, sketchy, makeshift scaffolds, workers climbing onto roofs from ladders that don't extend above the roof; workers carrying large, heavy equipment over one shoulder as they scale ladders, gripping the side of the ladder. I'm concerned that such a major project as the 2169 construction may see a continuation of suboptimal safety practices and workmanship through contracting and sub-contracting. I'm also surprised that a project of this scale would not mandate seismic and structural engineering BEFORE approvals. On P.58 of the DRAA the Project Sponsor states, <U+201C>Engineering occurs after planning approval is obtained.<U+201D> An engineer doesn't provide pre-approval input? Engineering should enter the picture at every phase of design reviews. Why did so few neighbors weigh in on this? The Roddys said that the Project Sponsor is a Los Angeles-based architect with substantive resources and connections with the City; and he has planned his submittals so that it was around holidays, giving neighbors less chance to respond. In one case there was a 20-day deadline. The Project Sponsor infers that attempts to contact Mrs. Roddy was not possible--"not able to speak because she had to leave on a trip?" (P. 54, DRAA). Projected modification schedule The Roddys also voiced concerns to us about the duration of this major renovation. Everyone knows estimated completion dates with ANYTHING in San Francisco, the City-That-Used-To-Know-How, are extremely ambitious, and often run double and treble the projected schedules, with noise levels reaching well above Noise Ordinance. In earthquake-prone San Francisco, on a block of soft-story-front dwellings on sand-based Sunset district homes, someone who relegates their neighbors' concerns about their home's structural and foundational integrity as "emotional" and "asking for control of someone else's property," as the Project Sponsor has done (P.54 of the DRAA), when he plans on doing major foundation work immediately adjacent to the concerned neighbor, may not be the kind of next-door-neighbor I'd want next door. The West-East sidewalk slope on 26th is eight degrees. From the DRAA photos and from the back yards I've visited on the West side of 26th Ave, the East-West yard slope, close to the structure rears, is much greater than eight degrees. As I have heard, the effect of gravity on poop is to make it roll downhill so be kind to your uphill neighbor! It's our hope that the Project Sponsor follow the spirit of some of the concessions he says he is making (rear area, setbacks at front, giving the Roddys documents simultaneously submitted to the City). In a city where developers and landowners work the system, through connections and loopholes to turn residentially zoned real estate to their benefit, using TICs, LLCs, shell-companies, one hopes the Planning Department would step in to at least provide solid, robust oversight instead of being a rubber stamp. I also have faith that SF's Planning Commission's and DBI's already-stringent regulations will have bearing, so please do everything in your power to ensure this <U+201C>renovation<U+201D> is done safely and legally. Do not approve this proposed modification as is. Thank you very much for reading this and considering our concerns. Jimmy Gutierrez 2134 - 26th Avenueshow more

We are the neighbors right next door, to the north and uphill from the subject property, and we have a lot to lose if this property is allowed to move forward as currently proposed. We want to emphasize that we are NOT trying to derail the owner's ability to build 2 homes on the site; it makes sense to have 2 homes where only 1 is now. We are merely trying to preserve some amenities that the Residential Design Guidelines ensure are areas where neighbors should compromise, mainly light and privacy. We feel that we have negotiated in good faith with the project sponsor and we've considered many positive proposals. Unfortunately, our negotiations broke down when we could not ABSOLUTELY assure that we could get all of the DR filers to withdraw their appeals in exchange for some revisions to the plans. We put in a lot of effort and spent hours with neighbors, but the plans/proposals changed so many times that everyone was left with the feeling that the owner was not operating in good faith. We trust that the commissioners will see that the project sponsor/owner, a developer from LA who has never lived in San Francisco, let alone the Sunset District, should not be allowed to affect our quality of life and access to light in our home. The Planning Department provides this procedure of discretionary review to allow the commissioners to suggest modifications that the project sponsor has not. Please utilize your discretionary review powers at the hearing on February 20th to have the project sponsor implement the revisions put forth by the Design Review Team. Please take DR and have the project sponsor implement the changes that he proposed to the front of the property, pushing the building back so that it's not blocking light to our balcony and flipping the bay on the north property to the south side. Please take DR and eliminate or seriously modify the extensions/decks/balconies at the rear that greatly impact our mid-block open space. Best regards, Eileen Roddy 2163 26th Avenueshow more

I grew up on 26th Ave, and my parents and brother still live in the house next to the proposed project. I have also recently bought a house in the Sunset. My parents have always been and still are active participants in the neighborhood and help foster a true sense of community on the block. They take pride in their home and neighborhood. The proposed buildings next door are being built by a developer from Los Angeles who has no vested stake in the housing needs of San Francisco or the character of the neighborhood; the project is designed solely for his profit. We are not objecting to two houses being built in the place of one, nor are we objecting to the third stories being built on these two new houses. We are simply asking that the project be designed in a way to minimize the negative impacts on the neighbors. The height and depth of the project will negatively affect the enjoyment of the neighbors<U+2019> garden areas, block natural light, and impose on the privacy of the open spaces. There are no houses on the block that are this size or extend past the common rear walls and out into the mid-block open space; the proposal goes against existing precedent and character. Our understanding is that the City protects the mid-block open space and will NOT allow these monstrosities to destroy it. We do not want the unique character of our block and the privacy in our open space/garden areas compromised by this project. Over the past few months, my parents, Jim and Eileen Roddy, along with other neighbors on 26th Ave, have been trying to work with the project sponsor; however, it does not seem like he is acting in good faith. He has repeatedly agreed to compromises, then draft plans that blatantly reverse what was agreed on. We encourage the Commission to take Discretionary Review , adopt the recommendations proposed by RDAT, modify the project to eliminate the rear extensions, decks, and balconies, and direct the project sponsor to honor the modifications he proposed regarding the front set back of the building and flipping of the bay to allow light to the neighboring balcony.

This project is totally out of character with our street and neighborhood. While we understand the need for more housing in San Francisco, it should still fit in with the character of the neighborhood. The proposed homes are too large. They impose at street level and they do nothing to enhance the neighborhood. The Planning Department's residential guidelines state that the design of new buildings and reservations to existing buildings be compatible with nearby buildings. The proposed buildings are not. They dwarf the adjacent homes. The two buildings are three story buildings that side by side present an unacceptable imposing bulk in the middle of the block, not on the corner where larger homes are traditionally located. The proposed buildings completely overwhelm neighboring properties, and provide little interest in architecture and/or design. The proposed building plan indicate that rear additions will extend out into the backyard area with multiple decks and balconies. These extensions are incompatible with any homes on 26th Ave. There are no homes on the west side of 26th Ave that extends out beyond our common walls and these proposed homes should not be allowed to do so either. It sets a destructive precedent and is something we, as neighbors are actively against. We oppose the construction of the monster homes on 26th Ave. These houses are not going to add to low income or moderate priced housing supply. It has come to our attention that the project will include backyard extensions at the ground level in addition to the 2nd and 3rd stories. Three story homes are a rarity in this are, but two three-story homes, side by side, with backward additions is a unacceptable MASS.
