REVIEW AND COMMENT

13. (N. TURRELL: 415/575-9047)

Hunters View Redevelopment Project, Public Hearing to assist the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board to prepare a comment letter on the Draft Environmental Impact Report.

The 22.5-acre project site, the existing Hunters View Public Housing, is comprised of two adjacent properties. The first is at Middle Point and West Point Roads and Wills and Hare Streets, Assessor's Block 4624, Lots 3, 4 and 9. The second is along Keith Street, Assessor's Block 4720, Lot 27. The San Francisco Housing Authority and Hunters View Associates, LP, assisted by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency and the Mayor's Office of Housing propose to construct up to 800 residential units in multiple buildings. The project would replace one-for-one the existing 267 public housing units, and would result in a mixed-income community comprised of for-rent and for-sale units at and below market rate, as well as public housing units. The project would also include housing constructed by Habitat for Humanity and resident-serving retail and community space, and up to 816 off-street parking spaces. The project would include improvements to access and circulation including realignment of some existing streets, and addition of new streets and sidewalks as well as areas of outdoor open space. Most of the project site is located within an RM-1 (Residential, Mixed-Use, Low Density) zoning district and a 40-X height and bulk district. A portion of the site is zoned RH-2 (Residential, House, Two-Family), NC-2 (Neighborhood Commercial, Small-Scale), and M-1 (Light Industrial). The proposed project would require a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the site to 65-X, and Conditional Use Approval for a Planned Unit Development.

NOTE: The Draft Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2007112086) was published on March 1, 2008. An informational presentation on the proposed project will be made before the Planning Commission on March 27, 2008.
