three existing structures at 425‑427 Battery Street and 418 Clay Street, and
would construct a new 11‑story mixed use building on a 14,025 square foot site
in downtown San Francisco (Assessor’s Block 206, Lots 3, 4, and 5). The new building would include about
17,700 square feet of retail space, and up to 348 hotel rooms. The hotel, called Club Quarters, would
be a private business hotel for exclusive use of member organizations. Off street loading would be accessed from
Merchant Street. No off‑street
parking would be provided on site.
Note: written comments on
the Draft EIR will be accepted at the Planning Department offices until the

of California office building and construction of a new building for City
offices on City-owned property at the southwest corner of Polk Street and

building containing about 255,500 square feet of office space, while Option B

square feet of office space. Each

reclassification (amendment of the height and bulk designations in the zoning
maps and General Plan maps) of the site to accommodate the proposed building
and will also seek a Variance from the Planning Code for on-site parking and
loading.
