The Potrero Boosters Neighborhood Association Development Committee will use the attached guidelines as criteria to evaluate the projects proposed within the neighborhoods served by the Boosters. Not all criteria may be applicable to a given project. After having considered each criteria, the Development Committee will make a holistic evaluation of the project, which the project developer should consider prior to a presentation at a meeting of the Boosters’ membership. Please note that any comments from the Development Committee are interim, and they may not by relied upon as indication of neighborhood support for a project. Only the membership of the Potrero Boosters Neighborhood Association may offer an endorsement of a project, and any material changes to a project made subsequent to any such endorsement shall render the endorsement void. Developers or project sponsors are asked to submit, in PDF format, available floorplans, landscape plans, elevations, renderings, and any other representations of the building (together, the “Project Plans”), along with a completed copy of the development criteria, at least one week prior to meeting with the Development Committee.

Page 1: Development Committee Criteria

The Potrero Boosters Neighborhood Association Development Committee will use the attached

guidelines as criteria to evaluate the projects proposed within the neighborhoods served by the

Boosters. Not all criteria may be applicable to a given project.

After having considered each criteria, the Development Committee will make a holistic evaluation

of the project, which the project developer should consider prior to a presentation at a meeting

of the Boosters’ membership. Please note that any comments from the Development Committee

are interim, and they may not by relied upon as indication of neighborhood support for a project.

Only the membership of the Potrero Boosters Neighborhood Association may offer an

endorsement of a project, and any material changes to a project made subsequent to any such

endorsement shall render the endorsement void.

Developers or project sponsors are asked to submit, in PDF format, available floorplans, landscape

plans, elevations, renderings, and any other representations of the building (together, the “Project

Plans”), along with a completed copy of the development criteria, at least one week prior to

meeting with the Development Committee. The Project Plans should have detail sufficient for the

Development Committee to evaluate the Development Criteria on the basis of the Project Plans

alone. Copies of the Project Plans will be retained by the Boosters, and will be used for Boosters

business (which may include, without limitation, distribution to the Boosters’ email list and

publishing to the Boosters’ website).

Developers are asked to complete the attached Project Cover Sheet, which should accompany

the Project Plans.

1. Is the overall project design sensitive to the neighborhood surrounding the subject project? Consideration will be made to neighborhood character, scale, light, air quality, and vistas.

2. Is the project’s massing sufficiently broken-up relative to the size of its parcel?

3. Are there any hazardous material on site? If so, what are they and how will they be remediated.

4. Does the project incorporate or preserve any historic elements on the site?

5. Does the project incorporate additional family friendly and accessible design (with respect to common open space or play areas, the number of elevator lobbies, and hallway length)?

6. What is the percentage of 2 and 3 bedroom units in the project (with the goal being at least 10% 3 BR and an aggregate of 60% being 2 BR or larger)?

7. Does the project include onsite affordable housing, and to what extent does the amount of affordable housing exceed the mandate (with the Boosters’ goal of at least 30% of units affordable)?

8. Does the project include publicly accessible indoor space?

9. Does the project include publicly accessible open green space?

10. Does the project take appropriate advantage of its zoning (e.g., urban mixed use) and its location to activate the streetscape, engage the public, and enhance street safety?

12. Does the project incorporate PDR space?
