"In an attempt to assuage concerns that the proposed four-story building to replace the shuttered Western Plywood warehouse at 2600 Harrison Street in the Mission is incompatible with the "design, scale and mass" of the neighborhood, Kerman Morris Architects has redesigned the project. The new design reduces the street-level wall along Harrison, includes a more open Production, Distribution & Repair (PDR) space, and adds an area with benches and raised planters along the street."
"But rallying behind a "rash of Big-Box supper (sic) structures" slated for the neighborhood, not to mention their potential loss of light and views, a group of neighbors on Alabama Street remains opposed to the height and mass of the project and are calling for the development team to eliminate a floor and reduce the development's footprint to 65 percent of the lot and leave 35 percent for open space."
Kerman Morris Architects redesigned a proposed four-story, 19-unit building at 2600 Harrison Street to address neighborhood compatibility concerns. The redesign reduces the street-level wall along Harrison, creates a more open Production, Distribution & Repair (PDR) space, and adds a streetside area with benches and raised planters. A group of Alabama Street neighbors opposes the height and mass and cites a "rash of Big-Box supper (sic) structures", potential loss of light and views. Those neighbors request elimination of one floor and a reduction of the building footprint to 65 percent of the lot, leaving 35 percent open. United to Save the Mission (USM) demands added affordable housing floors or sale to an affordable housing team. San Francisco's Planning Department recommends Planning Commission approval next week.
