Reuben & Alter assisting Lerum Corporation - This project will provide a state-of-the-art live theater in a now vacant structure on a prominent corner in the middle of the North Beach Commercial District. - Theater goers will definitely patronize the surrounding restaurants and bars.
Doug Alles · spoken · 2000-06-01 · support
CEO of Lerum Corporation - The project is to renovate the now vacant Pagoda Palace Movie Theatre into a live theatre. The building was originally built in 1908 as a live theatre and converted into a movie theatre in 1937. - The original tall plate sign will be kept since it is the last remaining piece of history and an important symbol to the neighborhood. - The original balcony will be restored.

This site complies with the WTS Facility Sighting Guidelines as well as the San Francisco Municipal Code. This is a preference one location since it is a publicly used building. They have tried to make the site visually unintrusive.
Lloyd Schloegel · spoken · 2000-06-15 · oppose
This antenna system is likely to be disruptive to City Hall. This is unnecessary, therefore, should not be approved

- The need for this site is based on the current Nob Hill site which is at capacity and located at 1250 Jones. There have been a number of dropped calls and poor system complaints from customers in the North Beach area. - This site would solve this problem and also help increase in-building coverage in the area, especially along both the Columbus and Broadway corridors.

Managing Director of Tishman Speyer Properties The best way to describe this project is in the context of the San Francisco Downtown Plan, the framework for quality and balanced growth in San Francisco. 555 Mission Street fulfills the vision of the downtown plan perfectly.
Jeffrey Heller · spoken · 2001-03-08 · support
Heller and Manus The project is located in the most transit-served area of the City and the best location for a high-density commercial development. All the vehicles and the buses coming from the East Bay come to this site. The skyline and its heightened scale are very important for the City image. This is a key landmark element of the city in terms of the approach. The building is part of a network of open space in… show more
