The proposed project at 700 Indiana Street within the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco between 19th Street to the north, 20th street to the south, Indiana Street to the east, and Highway 280 to the west. The lot size is 31,090 square feet and rectangular in shape. The site has an existing 15,000 square-foot, commercial storage building on the northern portion of the site and a paved yard containing a fence enclosure on the southern portion. The proposed project would demolish the existing, vacant building and construct a new three-story over basement laboratory use building with 72,349 gross square feet of laboratory use. The proposed building would have two different heights based on the location along Indiana Street, to provide open space for building users on the third floor. The north side of the proposed building would be 48 feet in height {54 feet including rooftop mechanical equipment and elevator penthouse), and the south side of the building would be 33 feet in height {39 feet including rooftop mechanical equipment). The proposed building would include laboratory space and meeting rooms on each floor. The ground floor would also include space for a transformer room that would be obscured behind a hinged gate. The third-floor roof top would contain a roof terrace and a break area. In total, the project would provide 8,440 square feet of common outdoor space. A 29,336 square-foot basement would provide 53 vehicle parking spaces (including two electric vehicle charging spaces), two ride share spaces, 11 class 1 bicycle parking spaces, four class 2 bicycle parking spaces, four showers, a bicycle repair station, and 24 clothes lockers. The estimated construction duration of the proposed project is 30 months. The maximum depth of excavation would be 15 feet below grade with a total of 16,500 cubic yards of excavation. The proposed foundation would consist of mat foundation bearing on improved soils.
