Pgs 44-47
Definitely 39 floors. 77' to top of podium structure (not podium parking obviously, just where the subtle setback occurs) and 400' to SF's definition of roofline, which is the slab above the top occupied floor. Of course this is just from one elevation. As with many SF buildings, we'll never know the exact full height and this will forever just be reported as 400', however, clearly the roof adds another ~20' and depending on the elevation, for instance from the west at Essex St, another 5-10+'.

Proposed Modifications to Project
The modified project is essentially the same as the 45 Lansing Street project described in the Rincon Hill
FEW. The project would entail construction of a 39 story, 400 foot-tall building containing up to 320
residential units. Assessor Block 3749 is subdivided by Guy Place and Lansing Street, which demarcates a
residential enclave, and by Essex Street, which provides access to a Bay Bridge on-ramp.
The proposed 432,000-square-foot building would have up to five levels of below-grade valet or
mechanized parking containing up to 265 spaces, with access only via mechanical lifts (elevators). There
would be no independently-accessible parking spaces, but there would be a drop-off area for disabled
motorists on the first level of the garage. The project would comply with the Planning Code’s Downtown
Residential District bicycle parking requirements, which require 25 spaces for the first 50 units, plus one
space for each additional four units, for a total of 93 bicycle parking spaces. The proposed project would
provide 93 spaces. The building’s pedestrian entrance would be located along Lansing Street and the
garage entrance and loading dock would be located along Harrison Street.
The building, a tower-on-podium design, would have a reinforced concrete frame constructed on a mat
foundation and would require excavation to a depth of approximately 65 feet, and would occupy the
entire 15,025 square-foot lot. Along the Lansing Street frontage, the tower would be set back 20 feet at a
height of approximately 40 feet and an additional 10 feet (30 feet total) at a height of 60 feet. The
Harrison Street frontage would have a five-foot setback at a height of approximately 77 feet. The ground
floor of the building would contain the residential lobby, three studio units, each with an individual
entrance, accessible from Lansing Street, the vehicular entrance to the parking garage (accessed from
Harrison Street), mechanical and electrical space, and a freight loading dock accessed from
Harrison Street measuring 12 feet in width, 25 feet in length, and 20 feet high. The building would
include a mix of residential units comprised of about 60 percent studios and one-bedroom units, and
about 40 percent two-bedroom units, consistent with the Rincon Hill Plan housing policies. Moreover,
the project would comply with the City’s inclusionary housing requirements.
The project site is within the 65/400-R height and bulk district (400-foot height limit, limitations on bulk
above 85 feet in height). The modified project would comply with the height limit. The bulk controls
would limit the plan dimensions of the building to a maximum of 115 feet (horizontal) and 140 feet
(diagonal) and an average floor area for all tower floors (above 85 feet) of 10,000 square feet. With an
average tower floor plate area of approximately 9,600 sf or less, the modified project would comply with
the bulk controls. The modified project would also continue to comply with the R1-I-DTR District’s tower
separation requirement of 115 feet above a height of 85 feet. The modified project would provide
27,079 sf of open space, meeting the Code requirement to provide 75 sf of open space per unit, through a
combination of on-site private open space (e.g., balconies) and open space improvements to Lansing
Street.
As compared to the project addressed in the 2006 Memorandum, the modified project would have more
units (320 vs. 305) and fewer parking spaces (265 vs. 280) and one fewer level. Compared to the approved
project, the modified project would have more units (320 vs. 227) and more parking spaces (265 vs. 227)
and one fewer residential level. For the modified project there would be essentially no change to the
height or other exterior building dimensions as compared to either the 2006 Memorandum Project or the
approved project. (The elimination of one level in the modified project would be accommodated by
increasing the floor-to-ceiling heights of the remaining levels by a few inches.)
Figures 2 through 7 depict several floor plans and all four elevations of the modified project.

Edit: Pgs 115-122 clearly show an official height from a portion of x elevation of 430'5". Definitely up to another 5+' higher from various elevations given the hills. Probably a 30-50' variance just to the end of the block where this building will for all intents and purposes be somewhere between 460'-480' from nearby same block vantage points.
