3055 Clement st. 2019-022830AHB
3055 Clement st. 2019-022830AHB I am against the proposed 6 story building at 3055, it is obscene that notice to comment was recieved a DAY BEFORE the hearing. Are there any low income or below market rate units available in the building? the increase of 15-20 cars parking on the street is ill conceived as well.

Hi , I want to oppose this building project. AS it will congest our already lack of parking space in this area. Also they didn't send out this flyer to us until today afternoon and expect us to send an email by 5PM TODAY???? This is ridiculous!! Best Regards, Neighbor of 31 st AVe. Burt
Serious Concerns Related to 3055 Clement StHi SF Gov, We wanted to raise serious concerns regarding the proposed project at 3055 Clement St (2019- 022830AHB).

We are strongly opposed to the project based on the below factors. Height - the 72ft elevation of the property is of serious concern. This is completely inconsistent with the surrounding area and sets a precedent which can change the neighborhood. It would also be the tallest building in the area and a full two stories taller than 3032 Clement (one of the newer development that is still in-line with the rest of the neighborhood) Car Parking - the existing structure's sole parking space will be removed and no further parking will be added as part of the project. For 7 units and 20 bedrooms, this could mean 20+ cars in the immediate area. The immediate are is already highly congested and this would create further hazards Scenic Quality: The view from Lincoln Park, including the Playground, looking east will be dominated by this 72ft+ structure. It will have a detrimental impact on the scenic quality of the Clement St/Lincoln Park. Also it paves the way by setting precedent for further 70+ft developments. Shadow: The Fastcast report is alarming in how it provides a generous "Potential Project Shadow Extent" (red line) that has a very large envelope, reaching as far as the public tennis courts, a long distance away. This is a serious concern given the gradient of the location.

RE: 3055 Clement Street 2019-02283AHB I object to building this new building at the corner of 32nd and Clement because the proposed building will have 7 units with a total of 20bedrooms and no garage and no off-street parking. The new building will bring in a lot of traffic in our neighborhood which we do not need and our area already does not have enough parking space for everyone. Thank you Shirley Wong Sent from my iPad

Summary I am totally against the issuing of the building permit Does not fit into the character of the neighborhood Parking is a problem in this neighborhood and there is no built in parking Will block views of the Golden Gate Bridge to many residents My family has lived at 439 32nd Avenue since 1964, 58 years. I have seen our neighborhood between Geary St and Clement St changed from single family homes to multi-unit dwellings and it continues to happen to this day. However, all of these projects were small, not more than 3 stories high, housing a maximum of 3 units. In this time period, the parking and congestion has increased and it is a challenge to find any free parking spots on my block. It never used to be this way and continually gets worse over time. I am totally against building a six story structure on the corner of Clement and 32nd Avenue. It will be the biggest construction project I have ever seen on this block and it will totally change the esthetics and look of our whole neighborhood. There is a six story building on Geary and 32nd Avenue that has been there even before my family moved to this neighborhood. After that, nothing as big as this six story project has ever been approved for permits. From the plans, I don't see any parking garage in the building design. This is a big mistake as street parking is already a challenge to find. I talked to some neighbors and many agree that this project will block all our views of the Golden Gate Bridge as well as be an eyesore to the whole neighborhood, as well as add to the street parking problems. I did not even see how the design would fit into the character of our neighborhood. A smaller scale project 3 stories or less would be acceptable, but such a large project structure is not welcome in my neighborhood. How could such a project be approved under these circumstances?

Our neighborhood with the several schools within a mile , with the grocery , and the dense residential are - we can not absorb a building without parking. We already have many cars that routinely park in our neighborhood to then Bus to work - or worse park their cars while on vacation as we now only have street cleaning twice a month. Parking is absolutely a requirement for this building . Thank you, Lisa Dana 260 32nd avenue Sent from my iPhone

The proposed building is not 60 feet in height!!! It is actually 72 feet. I am a retired licensed civil engineer and my wife a licensed architect. We know the building code and this proposed project does not conform to the building code. It is in violation of the height limits. And your process of not informing the homeowners in the vicinity to allow their input is also in violation. There has been little to no transparency in your handling of this project. You and the City of San Francisco have been very dishonest and deceptive about soliciting and allowing public input concerning this oversized and inappropriate project in a residential neighborhood. We live nearby and walk by this site often. We were never informed of this proposed project nor given an opportunity to review it or provide comment. We only learned of it from our concerned neighbors. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR HANDLING OF NOT KEEPING THE PUBLIC INFORMED!!!! I ADAMANTLY OPPOSE THE PROPOSED BUILDING!!!!! IT EXCEEDS THE HEIGHT LIMITS AND IS THEREFORE IN VIOLATION of the BUILDING CODE AND SAN FRANCISCO BUILDING ORDINANCES!!!!

3055 Clement Street - (2019-022830ahb)Hello, I am a neighbor writing out of concern for the project being proposed at 3055 Clement St (2019- 022830ahb).

Early last year, we received a notice from the planning department for this same address, and the enclosed building plans showed a modest 2 story residence proposed for the site. A few weeks ago we received a notification for 3055 Clement St, describing a completely different project at 7 stories, 7 units and 1 commercial unit. At 4 times the size of the original proposal, this change in scale is outrageous. Seeing that the zoning is set at NC-1 and that the typical height limit for such a zoned building is 40 feet, I don't understand why this building is allowed to be 72 feet. This is absolutely out of scale with the neighborhood where the majority of residences are no more than 30 feet. 72 feet would even dwarf the nearby church and its spire. What kind of exception would have allowed building such a huge structure in the middle of a quiet residential neighborhood? Allowing this building would set a dangerous precedent to allow more 7 story buildings around the neighborhood. We already live in one of the highest density cities in the nation. How is increasing density going help the residents who already live here? In addition, there is NO off street vehicle parking provided as would normally be required for the 7 residences. To claim that 8 bicycle racks is adequate parking for 7 condo units is absurdly disingenuous. What buyer of a 2 million dollar condo would genuinely say they own no cars and would never own any cars in the future? The occupants of the 20 bedrooms would all have to fight for street parking, adversely impacting the neighborhood for many blocks around. This is simply stealing the public resource of street parking, and is a naked attempt to maximize developer profit by converting the space that should be designated for off street parking into commercial property. The building code 138.1 requires that some streetscape and pedestrian improvements are made. There are no pedestrian improvements indicated. The sidewalks should be widened to accommodate increased foot traffic. If the commercial unit is expected to have sidewalk seating, the sidewalk should retain its current 15 feet of open walking space. Too many projects are being approved that allow the narrowing of sidewalks, making it nearly impossible for wheelchair-bound and blind pedestrians to safely navigate obstacles and other pedestrians. A prime example of worsening safety conditions for disabled pedestrians would be the <U+201C>Balboa Village<U+201D> commercial district, where oversized planters and increased sidewalk commercial seating make it impossible for anyone other than the able bodied to navigate. Finally, in looking at the blueprints, the open space available for the residents looks absolutely inadequate with only two tiny roof decks provided. One deck butts up so closely against a neighboring building that a person standing on the deck can easily tap on the neighbor<U+2019>s window. A similar project used deceptive practices to shoehorn in a monstrous building just across the street. That project promised affordable housing units for the neighborhood. Instead we got an inappropriately huge structure with zero setback, no open space, no affordable units and inadequate parking. There were so many exceptions granted to that project that they built a 20 ft tall double elevator structure bringing the final height to nearly 60 feet, despite claiming to adhere to the 40 foot neighborhood limit. In the back of the building, the patio goes right to the property line such that it is possible to physically touch a neighbor's bedroom window. Given our past experiences, I see no reason to believe this developer has any intention to act in the best interests of the neighborhood.

It will provide desperately needed family-size housing, including affordable housing, at a site that is ideal for multifamily housing. It is within easy walking distance of multiple Muni lines (the 1, 18 and 38/38R), a grocery store and neighborhood commercial district, schools (incl. Washington High School and Presidio Middle School), and parks. Having a somewhat taller residential building on a corner lot is also consistent with a common pattern throughout the Richmond district where a 5-7 story apartment building is located on the corner of a block that otherwise consists mostly of 2-3 story buildings. If San Francisco is serious about addressing the housing and climate crises, this is exactly the kind of project it should be approving. Thank you for your consideration of my comments.
