Draft Motion June 2, 2011 CASE NO. 2011.0422 C The Wharton School specializes in professional adult education designed for middle and upperlevel managers who wish to continue their careers while pursuing an MBA degree. Approximately 90 attendees participate in the Wharton MBA Program for Executives annually and classes are primarily held on weekends.

On balance, the project does comply with said criteria in that: 3

Draft Motion June 2, 2011 CASE NO. 2011.0422 C A. The proposed new uses and building, at the size and intensity contemplated and at the proposed location, will provide a development that is necessary or desirable, and compatible with, the neighborhood or the community. The Wharton School of Business will occupy the entire 6 th floor within an existing office building. The use is both necessary and desirable as it proposes to occupy a tenant space that is currently vacant. This use is particularly suited for this space as it is compatible with the existing office uses in the neighborhood. B. The proposed project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, convenience or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. There are no features of the project that could be detrimental to the health, safety or convenience of those residing or working the area, in that: i. Nature of proposed site, including its size and shape, and the proposed size, shape and arrangement of structures; The Wharton School of Business would occupy the 6 th floor of an existing office building. There is no proposed expansion of the building envelope and as such the Project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, convenience or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. ii. The accessibility and traffic patterns for persons and vehicles, the type and volume of such traffic, and the adequacy of proposed off-street parking and loading; The Planning Code does not require parking for non-residential uses. The Project is not proposing any new off-street parking, in conformity with the Planning Code. iii. The safeguards afforded to prevent noxious or offensive emissions such as noise, glare, dust and odor; Due to the nature of the proposed use, it is not anticipated that there will be any noxious or offensive emissions. iv. Treatment given, as appropriate, to such aspects as landscaping, screening, open spaces, parking and loading areas, service areas, lighting and signs; The proposed use will be at the 6 th floor of an existing office building.

That the use as proposed will comply with the applicable provisions of the Planning Code and will not adversely affect the General Plan. The Project complies with all relevant requirements and standards of the Planning Code and is consistent with objectives and policies of the General Plan as detailed below. 4

Draft Motion June 2, 2011 CASE NO. 2011.0422 C 8. General Plan Compliance. The Project is, on balance, consistent with the following Objectives and Policies of the General Plan: COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY Objectives and Policies OBJECTIVE 1: MANAGE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND CHANGE TO ENSURE ENHANCEMENT OF THE TOTAL CITY LIVING AND WORKINIG ENVIRONMENT. Policy 1.1: Encourage development which provides substantial net benefits and minimizes undesirable consequences. Discourage development that has substantial undesirable consequences that cannot be mitigated. Policy 1.2: Assure that all commercial and industrial uses meet minimum, reasonable performance standards. The proposed project will establish a post-secondary educational institution within an area of San Francisco that is particularly suited to accommodate such a use. This use will provide a number of benefits to San Francisco and the neighborhood in particular in that it occupies a vacant tenant space, it maintains employment within San Francisco and it attracts a number of local, regional and out of state students who will patronize San Francisco s retail, commercial and hospitality establishments. Given the nature of the use it is not anticipated that there will be any noxious or offensive emissions and is nevertheless subject to performance standards intended to eliminate any undesirable effects on the surroundings. OBJECTIVE 2: MAINTAIN AND ENHANCE A SOUND AND DIVERSE ECONOMIC BASE AND FISCAL STRUCTURE FOR THE CITY. Policy 2.3: Maintain a favorable social and cultural climate in the city in order to enhance its attractiveness as a firm location. The proposed project will maintain San Francisco s reputation as an area for quality post-secondary educational opportunities. That San Francisco is an area of abundant post-secondary educational institutions is a factor in the City s favorable social and cultural climate and this enhances the City s attractiveness as a location for businesses. OBJECTIVE 7: ENHANCE SAN FRANCISCO'S POSITION AS A NATIONAL AND REGIONAL CENTER FOR GOVERNMENTAL, HEALTH, AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES. 5

Draft Motion June 2, 2011 CASE NO. 2011.0422 C Policy 7.2: Encourage the extension of needed health and educational services, but manage expansion to avoid or minimize disruption of adjacent residential areas. Policy 7.3: Promote the provision of adequate health and educational services to all geographical districts and cultural groups in the city. The Wharton School of Business MBA Program for Executives is intended to extend the opportunity of post-secondary education to working individuals and provide extensive employment and training opportunities. The siting of the proposed project in the Rincon Hill neighborhood helps in the decentralization of educational institutions throughout San Francisco. RINCON HILL AREA PLAN Objectives and Policies OBJECTIVE 6.1: PRESERVE AND ADAPTVIVELY REUSE THOSE BUILDINGS IN THE AREA WHICH HAVE PARTICULAR ARCHITECTURAL OR HISTORICAL MERIT OR WHICH PROVIDE A SCALE AND CHARACTER OF DEVELOPMENT CONSISTENT WITH THE PLAN. Site 3: Hills Brothers Coffee Company. The proposed project seeks to occupy the 6 th floor of the Hills Brothers Coffee Company building, thereby following in the current adaptive reuse of that building. 9. Planning Code Section 101.1(b) establishes eight priority-planning policies and requires review of permits for consistency with said policies. On balance, the project does comply with said policies in that: A. That existing neighborhood-serving retail uses be preserved and enhanced and future opportunities for resident employment in and ownership of such businesses be enhanced. The proposal is occupying a vacant space formerly used by multiple office uses. The faculty and students of the proposed use will patronize the surrounding neighborhood serving retail, thereby preserving and enhancing those uses. B. That existing housing and neighborhood character be conserved and protected in order to preserve the cultural and economic diversity of our neighborhoods. The proposed use, a post-secondary educational institution, will complement the existing office / commercial neighborhood character. No housing is located at the site. 6

Draft Motion June 2, 2011 CASE NO. 2011.0422 C C. That the City's supply of affordable housing be preserved and enhanced, No housing is removed for this Project. D. That commuter traffic not impede MUNI transit service or overburden our streets or neighborhood parking. It is anticipated that the majority of faculty, employees and student will use either MUNI or BART, or walk and/or bicycle to the proposed project site. The project site does furnish an existing off-street parking garage that may also be utilized to avoid any overburdening of street or neighborhood parking. E. That a diverse economic base be maintained by protecting our industrial and service sectors from displacement due to commercial office development, and that future opportunities for resident employment and ownership in these sectors be enhanced. The Project will not displace any service or industry establishment. The project will not affect industrial or service sector uses or related employment opportunities. Ownership of industrial or service sector businesses will not be affected by this project. F. That the City achieve the greatest possible preparedness to protect against injury and loss of life in an earthquake. The Project is designed and will be constructed to conform to the structural and seismic safety requirements of the City Building Code. This proposal will not impact the property s ability to withstand an earthquake. G. That landmarks and historic buildings be preserved. The Historic Preservation Specialist for the Southeast Quadrant reviewed the scope of work for the proposed project and, because it is entirely internal, does not believe there will be any detrimental effects on the landmark building. H. That our parks and open space and their access to sunlight and vistas be protected from development. The project will have no negative impact on existing parks and open spaces. The Project does not have an impact on open spaces. 10. The Project is consistent with and would promote the general and specific purposes of the Code provided under Section 101.1(b) in that, as designed, the Project would contribute to the character and stability of the neighborhood and would constitute a beneficial development. 7

Draft Motion June 2, 2011 CASE NO. 2011.0422 C 11. The Commission hereby finds that approval of the Conditional Use authorization would promote the health, safety and welfare of the City. 8
