ACTION ITEM(S)

REVIEW AND COMMENT

12. 2006.0881E (D. DWYER: 575-9031)

420-430-29th Avenue, St. Peter's Church - Relocation and Supportive Housing Project: Public Hearing to assist the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board to prepare a comment letter on the Draft Environmental Impact Report.

The 11,780-square-foot project site (Assessor's Block 1416, Lots 014B and 015) is located in the Richmond neighborhood on the east side of 29th Avenue near the corner of 29th Avenue and Clement Street. The project site is occupied by three buildings; St. Peter's Church, the Parish Hall and the Rectory. These buildings are 7,485 square feet, 4,040 square feet and 2,740 square feet in size, respectively. The Gothic Revival style church building is considered a historical resource under CEQA while the other two buildings are not. The project sponsors, St. Peter's Church and the Housing Services Affiliate of the Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center, propose to renovate the Parish Hall and Rectory, to demolish the existing church, and to construct an approximately 28-foot-high with nine-foot mechanical penthouse, three-story-over-basement, 16,915-square-foot building containing 20 residential units (19 for developmentally-disabled adults and one for a resident manager) with 1 off-street parking space. The main entrance to the residences would be from 29th Avenue. The project site is in a RH-2 (Residential House, Two Family) Zoning District and a 40-X Height-and Bulk District. The project sponsors seek to rezone the site from RH-2 to RM-1 (Residential, Mixed, Low Density) to accommodate the increased residential density. In addition, the proposed project would include a lot line adjustment to reconfigure the lots such that the housing development is on a separate lot from the rectory and parish hall; a variance from the rear yard requirement and for a non-complying structure on the new parish hall and rectory lot. Conditional use authorization would be required for the operation of a religious institution in a residential district.

NOTE: The Draft Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2007112040) was published on May 31, 2008. The Draft EIR identifies the following impact as significant and unavoidable: Historic Resources: St. Peter's Episcopal Church is considered a historical resource under CEQA. The proposed project would result in the demolition of the historical resource and therefore, would have a significant and unavoidable impact. The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to receive comments on the Draft EIR on July 10, 2008. This hearing is intended to assist the Landmarks Board with preparation of written comments on the Draft EIR to submit to the Planning Department. Written comments on the Draft EIR will be accepted at the Planning Department until 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 15, 2008.

DISCUSSION

PRESIDIO MAIN POST, The Landmarks Board will discuss the Presidio Trust's

Environmental Impact Statement supplementing the 2002 Presidio Trust Management Plan. The Board may draft a letter to the Planning Commission and Planning Department requesting their direction to write a letter to the Presidio Trust regarding the proposed changes and/or to join in the Section 106 consultation process.
