Commissioner Richards had the same idea of adding a third unit & we would have done it - but this is an RH-2 zone & a third unit is not permissible. THAT SAID - why NOT make this zone RH-3? Nearly all of the lots are 125' deep - much deeper than standard. I think it would be wonderful for our city to consider an FAR that allows more units on larger lots in areas that have adequate public transit & local amenities like schools & grocery stores, etc.

As a design professional and a home-owner in a major metropolitan area, I fully support this development. Density in metro areas is critical to preventing further environmental damage to our planet. Housing costs are rising in most west coast cities and more housing is needed to prevent displacement of long-time-residents. I live in Portland, OR and our housing prices have been rising steeply as people are displaced by rising housing costs in other west coast metro areas and move to Portland. Displacement in your city causes displacement in mine. Please allow this renovation to happen.

I am a Noe Valley resident, and I believe that we need more housing in Noe Valley. Adding units to existing homes is a great way to do this. If anything, I wish this project was adding two units to the existing unit, for a total of three. I support this project, and others like it, and I believe this project should be approved as designed.

If every one had been fighting each other from the start, San Francisco would never have been built. We should respect property rights as well as an owners desire to improve their home.

This is an obvious improvement to the property and neighborhood. I fully support this proposal.

Janet will never see this property from her house. The tree in front, blocks her whole view. If a person has a problem with a proposed property, it should directly effect their view or their property.

I live in the Mission and frequently visit my sister in Noe Valley. I support more housing in San Francisco. Every neighborhood needs to do it's part. We need to enable people like this to be part of the solution.

I work in Architecture & Design. I have reviewed the proposal and find it to be quite reasonable and well designed. This project should be approved without hesitation.

As far as the photographs demonstrate, there seems to be no discernible change to the residence that will be visible from the street side of the existing tree currently blocking the view of the property. I think there is no reason not to do the proposed renovations and additions to this property.

San Francisco desperately needs more housing and this project is a great way to add some in a neighborhood that has not built very much.

This sounds like a perfectly reasonable expansion. Noe Valley (and SF in general) needs more housing.

actually - the unit we are adding is a fully legal unit. the site is so large that we have plenty of exposure, open space & fire-safe exiting - so both units will meet every single building & planning code as a standard design.

I live in Noe Valley and support this project. It should not take someone three years to add an ADU. SF needs housing.

We need more housing and the development on this project in no will lessen the enjoyment of the neighborhood.
