The San Francisco Planning Commission is scheduled to review plans tomorrow for an eight-story apartment complex at 222 Capp Street in San Francisco’s Mission District. The proposal aims to replace a surface parking lot with 70 rental apartments, located less than two blocks away from the 16th Street BART Station. 2101 MS Property Holdings LLC, linked with Deutsche Bank, is listed as the property owner and applicant.

The 84-foot-tall structure is expected to yield around 56,980 square feet, including 51,420 square feet for housing and 5,560 square feet for parking. Unit types vary with 21 studios, 21 one-bedrooms, and 28 two-bedrooms. Parking will be included for 12 cars and 70 bicycles. Perry Architects is responsible for the design.
The application invokes Senate Bill 423 and the State Density Bonus law to streamline the approval process and increase residential capacity. The filing looks to receive nearly a 100% increase above base zoning, increasing residential capacity from 36 units to 70 units. Once complete, 11 units will be designated as affordable housing, with six units for households earning around half of the area’s median income, and five units for residents earning around 120% of the area’s median income.

The 0.21-acre property is situated along Capp Street, between 17th Street and 18th Street. Future residents will be around the corner from the recently completed apartment complex at 2100 Mission Street.
Public records show the property last sold in 2018 for $4 million.
The meeting is scheduled to start tomorrow, Thursday, September 25th, starting at noon. The event will be held in person at City Hall, with livestreaming available, and public comments will be limited to in-person attendees. For more information, visit the city website here.

Why do they have to have a meeting for this?!? Just build it!!
Without permits? Mmmm-kay.
do you think they issue permits at these meetings? lol
Of course not, but I don’t have the time to explain it to you. Do you have any idea of how development works in San Francisco?
These meetings have nothing to do with permitting and have no ability to stop code compliant projects.
Erm, you need Planning Commission approval to get a permit for a discretionary project – or at least you used to. If this project could be built without a Planning Commission hearing, I am sure they would have their permits now. San Francisco has been entirely captured by the developer-funded astroturf YIMBY lobby.
Ugly!
