Neighbor support for Stonestown Revitalization ProjectDear Planning Commissioners, I'm an immediate neighbor to Stonestown, residing at 3045 22nd Ave, and am writing to express my excitement for the Stonestown Revitalization Project.

My wife and I have three children aged 14, 7, and 5. We visit Stonestown regularly to eat or grocery shop and occasionally retail shop. I love the plans for the revitalization project because it adds so much more to the community. The parks and open spaces, in particular, will add a true "third place" to spend time together. Currently, Stonestown mall is designed as a mall of yesteryear. Basically an indoor track inside and terrible parking lots outside (overcrowded in some spaces and empty/unused in others). Most of the malls of yesteryear are already obsolete or "dying" instead of thriving. Redesigning the layout will have huge benefits. I imagine it is similar to Santana Row in San Jose. Excellent use of space. The ability to have Yoga or other community events in the park, attract marquee restaurants (currently Stonestown only offers fast-casual style), and other local businesses with a vibrant atmosphere. There are other economic benefits like additional housing and job opportunities. My mother is in her 70's and lives in another state. She considered moving to San Francisco but found housing unaffordable. Stonestown revitalization with affordable housing for seniors would allow the possibility for her to move nearby, see her grandchildren grow up, and for me to be able to care for her as she ages. I strongly urge you to support the Stonestown Revitalization Project!

I firmly believe that transforming the parking lot into much-needed housing is a crucial step toward creating a vibrant and sustainable neighborhood. Increasing housing availability is paramount for addressing our city's housing crisis and ensuring that people from all walks of life have access to affordable homes. By repurposing the parking lot for housing, we can make efficient use of space while also promoting a more walkable and transit-friendly environment, all while preserving our mall. Furthermore, the Stonestown Revitalization Project offers an opportunity to enhance our community's vitality and sense of belonging. More housing means more neighbors, more local businesses, and more opportunities for interaction and collaboration. It's a chance to build a stronger, more connected community for all of us. I urge you to support the Stonestown Revitalization Project and help us create a neighborhood that we can all be proud of. Together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of current and future residents. Sincerely, Becca Shapiro (Lakeside Village resident)show more Stonestown Letters of Support

Comments on Stonestown upzoning and EIRDear Planning Commissioners, As a resident on the West Side, I am writing to ask you to please take the following actions regarding the proposed Stonestown redevelopment project. 1) Require traffic studies and measures to mitigate traffic that is flowing through Ingleside Terraces and adjoining neighborhoods to and from Stonestown.

Ingleside Terraces is comprised of 750 households and will be heavily impacted by the proposed changes to Stonestown. 2) Approve one of two alternatives contained within the Stonestown Draft EIR, either: alternative D (maintain existing height restrictions of 65 feet); or alternative E (restrict building heights to 80 feet). Either of these two alternatives will reduce negative impacts on traffic, infrastructure and police and fire protection. These alternatives will also comply with the General Plan<U+2019>s Design Element, complementing the surrounding topography, existing buildings, neighborhoods and the existing public vistas and view corridors. 3) Reject the five proposed 190-foot towers and the 90 foot tall buildings along 19th Avenue, which are entirely out of scale and character with the surrounding area and are contrary to the requirements of the Urban Design Element of San Francisco<U+2019>s General Plan. Please do not permit a complex far more massive than the Fontana Apartment complex to separate our communities. Thank you for your consideration.

Please do not permit a complex far more massive than the Fontana Apartment complex to separate our communities. ITHA requested in its February 10, 2023 Comments on the Draft EIR that the study area for traffic mitigation measures be extended into the surrounding neighborhoods, but this has not been done. Nor does the Draft EIR address the project<U+2019>s negative impact on public transit capacity, leading to a greater vehicular traffic burden throughout a wide area. Despite ITHA<U+2019>s comments more than a year ago, the Draft EIR continues to be misleading and inaccurate because it does not visually depict the proposed building heights<U+2019> obstruction of public vistas and view corridors currently experienced by the public from nearby neighborhoods, parks and public spaces. ITHA therefore requests that the Commission not approve the Draft EIR as the final EIR for the project.
