The proposed project would involve the construction of a 13-story, 130‐foot‐tall (with an additional 20 feet for the elevator penthouse), mixed-use building with up to 176 dwelling units, restaurant/retail space on the ground floor and a replacement church (proposed religious institution) incorporated into the ground and two upper levels.
The project would construct a total of approximately 237,353 sf of development including up to 187,640 sf of residential use, 6,200 sf of restaurant and/or retail (restaurant/retail) use, 13,595 sf for religious institution use (i.e., replacement of the existing church), 8,398 sf of open space (288 sf of private open space and 8,110 sf of common open space), and 21,070 sf of below-grade parking in one building.
Of the 176 units, five of the proposed units would be below-market-rate (BMR) units to replace the existing units in the 532 Jones Street building. A single basement-level parking garage with access from Shannon Street would provide 41 off-street vehicle parking spaces for building tenants and religious institution use and 125 Class 1 (bicycle locker or space in a secure room) kept on the basement and first levels. The project would also provide 21 Class 2 (publicly accessible bicycle rack) bicycle parking spaces, 16 on O’Farrell Street and five on Jones Street.
The project would incorporate common open space in three areas: on level one in a portion of the open area behind the church facade within the colonnade, on level three in an interior courtyard, and above level 13 in a roof deck. The religious institution and residential building entrances would be located along O’Farrell Street.
