Hearing of persons interested in or objecting to the decision of the Planning Department adopted and issued on February 7, 2005, Case 2004.0560E, approving a Final Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed construction of a 5-story, approximately 50-foot tall, 29,653 gross-square-foot (gsf) residential building with 56 single room occupancy (SRO) units. The second through fifth floors would include 12 SRO units on each. No off-street parking or off-street loading would be provided. A 900-square foot roof deck would be provided as common usable open space meeting the requirements of Planning Code. The project site is 6,124 square feet in size and currently used as a surface parking lot, located on the northeast corner of Brannan Street and Gilbert Street in the South of Market District. Pedestrian access to the building lobby and the community room would be through one door mid-lot on Brannan. All of the units would be rental units designated as permanently affordable to households with income not exceeding 50% of the City’s median income. The project site is zoned SLI (Service Light Industrial) and is within a 50-X Height and Bulk District. Conditional Use authorization is required for SRO units in the SLI district, and parking, rear yard, and permitted obstruction variances would be required for the proposed project. The project is located at 787 (aka 785) Brannan Street, Assessor’s Block 3784, Lot 18. (Appellants: Gerrie Scott representing Citizens for Cleaner, Safer SOMA, Anusha Chari, Nathan Letts, et al.)
