"Once again, as we revealed at the end of last year, a modification to the approved plans for Related California’s 365-foot-tall tower to rise on the parking lot parcel at 98 Franklin Street, at the intersection of Oak, was in the works, a modification which would increase the tower’s height to 400 feet and yield 385 market-rate residential units, up from 345 apartments which were to be a mix of market rate and below market rate (BMR) units as approved, along with 85,000 square feet of space for a new French American International High School within the tower’s 5-story podium, 3,000 square feet of ground floor retail space, and a basement garage for 110 cars.
As we outlined at the time, a building permit for the development had already been requested but was on hold pending approval of the additional height and plans, with San Francisco’s Planning Department having subsequently amended the Environmental Impact Report for the proposed tower, clearing the way for the additional height.
A Development Agreement and plans for the taller, 100 percent market-rate tower have now been formally approved, an agreement which includes the dedication of the razed parcel at 600 Van Ness Avenue, which was previously entitled for a 168-unit development, to the City for the potential development of affordable units, at some point in the future, in lieu of including any BMR units in the tower at 98 Franklin Street; a waiving of some standard impact fees; and a five year window within which to break ground versus three years as typically approved."
