INITIAL STUDY
Case Number 2006.0460E - 690 Stanyan Street
Mixed Retail/Residential Project
A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located in San Francisco's Haight Ashbur}' neighborhood at 690 Stanyan Street
(Assessor's Block 1228, Lots 005 and 006) on the northeast comer of the intersection with Haight Street
(Figiire 1, page 2). In addition to Stanyan Street to the west and Haight Street to the south, the project
block is bound by Page Street to the north and Shrader Street to the east. The approximately 34,000-
square-foot (sq.ft.) project site is flat and contains a vacant, one-story plus mezzanine, 24-foot-high former
Cala Foods grocery store, a 42-space (15,000-sq.ft.) surface parking lot, and two general advertising signs
located on the northern edge of the property. A temporarv^ 42-space surface parking lot was approved as
a conditional use on the site in March2007 (PlanningDepartment Case No. 2006.1218C).
The proposed project would demolish the existing vacant building and remove the surface parking lot
and general advertising signs. It would construct a four-story, retail/residential building with a ground-
floor specialty grocery store (Whole Foods), 62 residential units on the upper three floors, and a three-
level 176-space subterranean garage with 114 parking spaces for grocer\' store use and 62 parking spaces
for residential use (Figures 2 through 6, pages 3 to 7). The proposed projectwould also provide 47bicycle
parkingspaces.
The proposed building would be considered under the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process (San
Frandsco Planning Code Section 304), and would be 40 feet in height as measured at the highest point on
the property, which is located within the 40-foot height limit portion of the property.^ Along Stanyan
Street, the project site is within the 50-X height and bulk district, and the proposed building would be
approximately 50 feetin height as measured at Stanyan Street (see Figure 5, page 6).
The new building would total approximately 115,400 sq.ft., of which 34,400 sq.ft. would be commercial
