I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet. It looks like the
building height may be reduced by 40 feet:
Quote:
In response to the concerns regarding shadow raised by the Board of Supervisors, the Project Sponsor has
proposed reducing the height of the proposed tower from a maximum roof height of 520 feet, to a roof
height of 480 feet. The sculpted roofline shown in the previous iteration of the project would be retained,
with the top of the mechanical penthouse reaching a height of 510 feet. No other changes to the tower
envelope or architectural expression are proposed. The reduction in tower height would also reduce the
number of dwelling units from a minimum of 162 units to a minimum of 145 units. As a result of the
reduced height, the Project sponsor is no longer seeking approval of the “office flex” option described in
the April 11 staff report.
