The planning department denied the proposal. We stopped the overdevelopment.

From: Residents of the Judah Outer Sunset Neighborhood.
We have concerns about the project at 3945 Judah St as described in 2018-000468CUA4 and related applications. We request that the current plans be denied pending review of these concerns.
Our concerns include one or more of the following (see comments for specifics by individual signer):
- Height - Too tall for the context. This area is not even built to the current code maximum of 40 ft, and a special exemption will make this building out of place for decades to come.
- Design - Massing and design are inconsistent with the district and will negatively affect the desirable character of the neighborhood.
- HomeSF - This exception for additional height in exchange for 25% 'affordable' units will negatively affect the area with little or no benefit, as the density in the area is already well below normal planning regulations.
- Parking - While recent ordinance revisions require no minimum parking, a project of this size in a small neighborhood like ours will have a huge effect on local parking for businesses and homes. As the density of the project is so much higher than the neighborhood, more parking should be required, especially for housing encouraging families.
- NIMBY/YIMBY - We are not NIMBYs, and we would like to see the parcel developed, but this approach for increasing housing is much too extreme for this area. Many of us prefer ADUs IMBY, in fact (see comments).

The feedback from neighbors remains consistent regarding the scale of this project. Expect more updates as we organize our formal response for the planning department.

What happened to the very strict rules that SF has always stood by regarding building in the same design as the neighborhood? This building looks so incredibly out of place it’s laughable. I definitely support development of that corner but this plan is egregious.
The high demand of parking of the restaurant at the corner of 46th ave and Judah. The restaurant has been taking away A LOT of the parkings EVERY night. If this project happens, there will be less and less parking.
Way too tall for the neighborhood. Chop off that top level and it should be okay. Please consider additional reserved parking within to ease additional street parking demand.
I am also concerned about the impact on the already strained N Judah line. We can't keep putting big developments on major transit lines without improving capacity/on-time performance.
This project is out of step with the neighborhood, if we grant height exceptions for this developer what’s to prevent future exceptions. City should conduct a Parking and traffic study. I am all for development but a more modest building is in order most homes and business are 2-3 stories it’s not fair to the rest of us who comply with current code

I have lived in this neighborhood all my life. I've seen it grow and change and develop so much, even just in 10 years. This project would change the look and feel of a typically welcoming and "homey" neighborhood. Please don't ruin my home.
