PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located on the east side of 8th StreetbetweenIrwin and 16thStreets, within theblockbounded
by 8th Irwin, 7th Hubbell, and 16th Streets, in the South of Market/Potrero Hill neighborhood. The site contains
, ,
a 2,660-square-foot (sf) single-story commercial building constructed in 1910 and occupied by a restaurant,
and a gravel parking area. The proposed project would demolish the existing building and construct two
connected buildings. The southeastern building (1150 16th Street) would be 58 feet tall and would contain 15
residential units (20,277 sf) on four levels above ground-floor retail (5,056 sf) proposed for restaurantuse. The
northwestern building (1201 8th Street) would be 68 feet tall and would contain 12,826 sf of production,
distribution, and repair (PDR) space, divided into 15 units, on three levels above ground-floor retail (1,429 sf).
The PDR building would have an off-street loading space on the first floor. Both buildings would share a
common basement level with 14 residential parking spaces and eight commercial parking spaces, including
one disabled-accessible space.
The southeastern building was initially proposed in 2004 when the site was zoned M-2 (Heavy Industrial),
under which residential use is allowed with Conditional Use authorization. Height, use, and density controls
are subject to the previous (M-2) zoning, but physical controls such as parking allowances and open space and
rear yard requirements are subject to Showplace Square/Potrero Hill mixed-use controls. The proposed project
would require Conditional Use authorization {Planning Code Section 303) for residential uses in an M-2 use
district (Section 215) and for not meeting current physical controls (Section 175.6(e)(1)(C)) for rear yard,
exposure, and open space for a residential building.
