The project review meeting has been filed for a residential infill project at 37 Pope Street in Crocker-Amazon, San Francisco. The initial details for the proposal consider using Senate Bill 9 to split the existing lot and replace a garage with a three-unit apartment complex.
The application published by the city was shared before a preliminary application, though it shows interest from a small homeowner in a low-slung neighborhood in adding density to the 0.18-acre parcel. The site is just an 11-minute bike ride or 15-minute walk from the Balboa Park BART Station.

The proposal is to demolish a garage structure at the rear of the lot and replace it with a two-story apartment complex. Of the three units, there will be one 944-square-foot Additional Dwelling unit on the ground floor and two larger units, each occupying a quarter of the ground level and half of the top units, spanning 1,240 square feet and 1,770 square feet, respectively.
City records show the property last sold to the current property owner, Tyson Li, in September this year for $1.1 million. Before that, the property owner was an individual living in Ukiah, Mendocino County.

Interesting and encouraging small infill project – if it were me I’d take down the house and stretch a building along most of the entire lot, keeping a large unit at the front for (presumably) the owners family to live in but adding more units total.
Still, this type of small backyard infill is exactly what we need more of!
