The greater areas of PARKSIDE / SUNSET is NOT for HIGH-RISES & NOT APPROPRIATE for our neighborhood(s). This project will: * Stress the already taxed Infrastructure. Current water and power lines are already old & dilapidated * Block natural light creating a huge imposing shadow, disrupting surrounding Eco-Systems, & impacting our open skyline, visible from miles away * Increase Environmental & Light pollution from the towering 446+ units that will interfere with livelihood of ZOO animals as well as surrounding resident * Directly on/in a Tsunami Zone * In a Seismic Hazard - Liquefaction Zone * In the Coastal Zone * On the Maher & Cortese lists (CEQA). Former site of gas stations & auto repair shops. * In an Archeological Sensitive area. Within 1/2 mile was a recorded Native American Civilization * Create intense glare from sunlight reflection on hundreds of glass windows & walls, impacting skyline, views, and areas in all directions * Adversely alter or destroy the rare & healthy Soundscapes & Acoustic Environments * Increase traffic & create road safety risks for children and elderly. There are no plans for Muni to add more trains or buses to existing routes. With the closure of Great Highway, due to Prop K, traffic already has been vastly increased on the avenues/streets near the project * Adversely impact residential neighborhood parking, creating congestion on residential streets. Project only provides 52 designated & 3 car share parking spaces for 446 units NOT resident quantity * Allows Short Term Rentals (e.g. Airbnb, Corporate) * Adversely impact the local Eco-Systems which is home to protected species in the Coastal Zone * Increase unoccupied residential & commercial space resulting in derelict structures. EXAMPLE: Since 2018, The Westerly complex at 2800 Sloat has been 1/3-1/2 vacant & has NO retailers in the commercial space. The new building plans include commercial space that will be unoccupied too * New plans include a Roof Top POOL open to the elements (e.g. fog, cold, wind, sand, rain) * Have a negative psychological impact on the community * Put Sloat Garden Center staff out of work & potentially other local small businesses * Become a blight on the Neighborhood * Become Urban Renewal / Development 2.0 aka Geneva Towers. Unsuccessful: past & future * Condo Sales & the Population of San Francisco have declined * Lower & Devalue Property & Neighborhoods (e.g. existing SFR's) for all As of January 2025, additional information on the project, owners & developers (e.g. 2700 Sloat Holding LLC & CH Planning): * Appears they have yet to sell the project to a new Owner. Deed still partially held by them * They filed an appeal to build the 50 Story project for which the BOA upheld the Zoning Administrators Determination that the project did not meet the codes & denied the appeal on 7/26/2023 * They then filed two (2) lawsuits suing The City and County of San Francisco but after many months, withdrew their lawsuits on 5/29/2024 & have NOT sold the property to a non-profit organization to build 100% Affordable Housing as claimed & quoted in the SF Chronicle 12/2024 NO one wants Our Neighborhood(s) to turn in to a high-rise, high density haven like Manhattan. SON-SF believes that high-rise, high-density housing is the wrong choice for development in the greater Parkside / Sunset areas. SON-SF is comprised of residents of Outer Parkside and represents a voice for all the people that will be negatively impacted by the proposed development at 2700 SLOAT BLVD . We believe in sensible development that is considerate of the needs and interest of the residents of the Sunset and Parkside neighborhoods of San Francisco. Allowing this project to move forward is only be the "Tip of the Iceberg" Thank you for your Support & Please JOIN the CALL TO ACTION to SIGN the PETITION here to STOP 2700 SLOAT BLVD https://www.sonsf.org", "url": "https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/stop-2700-sloat-blvd" }
