Preliminary permits have been filed for a lot split and new housing at 853 Church Street in San Francisco’s Dolores Heights neighborhood. The proposal hopes to use Senate Bill 684 to replace a freestanding garage with a new single-family house. The property owner is listed as a local individual.

Troy Kashanipour Architecture is responsible for the application and design. Illustrations show a four-story house with two boxy bay windows and a top-floor balcony. The facade will be clad with a smooth white material, likely composed of fiber cement or stucco. The new building is expected to yield around 2,000 square feet, including a one-car garage.

The property is located along Church Street between Liberty Street and 21st Street. The site is half a block from the top of Mission Dolores Park.

    A new construction, 2,000 square foot single family home with a garage a block from Dolores? That’ll be four million dollars in cash, AI engineer.

    Add a rooftop deck and get another 300K minimum.

    For those hunting on maps, the actual address appears to be 278 Liberty St.
