The Project includes 112 off-street accessory parking spaces and 3 car share spaces contained within a parking stacker, 1 off-street freight loading space and 2 off-street service loading vehicle spaces, and 190 Class 1 and 25 Class 2 bicycle parking spaces. To further activate the ground floor experience, the Project includes construction of a public plaza and shared public way within a portion of the Oak Street right-of-way (Oak Plaza). At a later date, the Project Sponsor will seek approval of an In-Kind Fee Waiver Agreement pursuant to Planning Code, to provide certain additional public realm improvements within Oak Plaza. These additional public realm improvements are subject to the Planning Commission’s separate and future approval of the Project Sponsor’s In-Kind Fee Waiver Agreement. The subject property is located within the C-3-G (Downtown General) Zoning District, 120/400-R-2 and 120-R-2 Height and Bulk Districts, and Van Ness & Market Downtown Residential Special Use District. A Planning Commission approval at the public hearing would constitute the Approval Action for the project for the purposes of CEQA, pursuant to San Francisco Administrative Code Section 31.04(h).
