Mexican Museum, condo project get key city sign-off

The plan by Millennium Partners — which built the nearby Millennium Tower as well as the Residences at the Four Seasons — to construct a 510-foot building at 706 Mission St. was approved by the Planning Commission by a 4-3 margin Thursday despite concerns about parking limits and the “piecemeal” way The City enforces a limit on shadows cast by tall buildings.
[...]
Residents at the nearby Four Seasons building have vowed to sue to get the project reduced in size — down to 351 feet tall — so that it does not cast a shadow. A city analysis found that a 351-foot tower would not be “financially feasible.”
[...]
The project must clear one more hoop at City Hall before construction can begin. The Board of Supervisors must approve a zoning amendment to allow a taller skyscraper in the area with a 400-foot limit. A vote on that amendment, which would create a special-use district, is scheduled for June.
