This is a harsh transition to adjacent SF neighborhoods.

No parking zone for school bus access is needed.

Some thought that the UV boundary could be expanded here,

to provide more transition.

Concerns about how to bu�er adjacent neighborhoods from

redevelopment along CA.

Consider stepping down the heights of buildings next to the

playground.

Protect view corridor

Zone LR3 to take advantage of school play ground

Higher density

Valuable open space

Proposed heights are okay here

Crosswalks and through-block connections across California Ave are needed, due to long blocks. Also, better sidewalks are needed in this area.

DISCUSSED AT MULTIPLE TABLES:Upzoning along California makes sense, though there is some concern about the height increase.

Need better transition around LR3/SF edgesSenior housing feels

disconnectedSome felt 55’ is an appropriate height here. Others wanted to keep NC-40 and preserve small businesses.

Upzone for more a�ordability.

Tra�c bottleneck concerns.

Some wanted to Rezone this to RSL if California height limit is reduced, but others disagreed. Another table thought LR2 could work here.

DISCUSSED AT MULTIPLE TABLES:Expand UV boundary here

Concerns that California is becoming a cavern, even under existing zoning. Some requested lower heights.

Some felt this is too big a jump in scale. Lower to LR1 or RSL.
