. . . on Thursday [Aug 5] was granted approval for the construction of a 27-story residential tower at 469 Stevenson St. in Mid-Market by the San Francisco Planning Commission.

The 495-unit residential project would replace a surface parking lot between Fifth and Sixth streets. The project, in the works since 2017, was initially proposed as a 35-story building with less units than approved in the current plan. Seventy-three of the proposed 495 homes will be built as on-site affordable housing.

Vazquez called it a “quintessential transit-oriented project” — and the commission ultimately voted 4-2 to entitle it, even as some commissioners advocated to continue the vote in order to address outstanding concerns about balcony access and community agreements.
