Title

800 Presidio Avenue Mixed-Use Project

Description

The project sponsors, Booker T. Washington Community Services Center in association with the San Francisco Mayor's Office of Housing, propose to demolish the existing 12,600 sf Booker T. Washington Community Center building at 800 Presidio Avenue (Assessor's Block 1073, Lot 13), and construct a mixed-use structure which would replace and enlarge the community/recreation center and include new residential units. The project would encompass ~70,000 sf of space on 6 levels, 5 above grade and one below at a height of 55 ft along Presidio Avenue. The roughly 19,000 sf community center space would accommodate the center's current and future programs and would also include a gymnasium, meeting space, and several classrooms. The project would include 47 residential units in a mix of unit sizes, half of which would be designated below market rate (BMR) rental housing for emancipated foster youth and the other half BMR units available to both individuals and families. The project proposes 22 parking spaces in a basement garage accessible from a proposed curb cut on Sutter Street. The subject property is within an RM-1 Zoning District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District. The sponsor seeks to amend the Planning Code by establishing a "Presidio-Sutter Special Use District" (SUD) to modify building height and bulk, density, off-street parking, year yard configuration, and open space requirements. The proposed SUD would necessitate text and map amendments (rezoning), which would require approval by the Board of Supervisors.
