199 NEW MONTGOMERY STREET -
east side between and with secondary frontages on Natoma and Howard Streets,
Lot 21, in Assessor’s Block 3722 -- Request under Planning Code Section
140 for a Variance for dwelling unit exposure. Sixteen of the proposed units
face an inner court that does not meet the requirements of Section 140 of
the Planning Code for levels 2 through 14. Therefore, a variance must be
sought and justified for the units on these levels facing solely on the inner
court. (See item "a." above for a more complete project description.)

- west side, between 16th and 17th Streets; Lot 039 in Assessor’s Block 3570 in an NC-3 (Moderate Scale
Neighborhood Commercial) District with a 50-X Height and Bulk designation.
The proposal is to permit the conversion of an industrial building to a non-profit
health center, the Native American Health Center, at the second level without
providing the required additional parking spaces. Section 151 of the Planning
Code requires that one off-street parking space be provided for each 300 square
feet of occupied floor area in a NC-3 Zoning District. The Native American
Health Center would occupy 9,800 square feet of floor area. Based on the
floor area, 33 off-street parking spaces would be required. The existing
three-story building has a parking deficiency of 20 spaces, which results
in a net increase of 13 required spaces. The applicant proposes no additional
parking spaces.
