 Discretionary Review Request for 3252 19th Street

1. What are the reasons for requesting Discretionary Review?
This unauthorized conversion of Production, Distribution, and Repair space is in direct conflict with
Mission Area Plan Objective 1.7: "Retain the Mission's role as an important location for production,
distribution, and repair (PDR) activities."
This area is soon to be part of the expanded Latino Cultural District, and PDR is critical for entry-level
jobs and higher earnings for workers without college educations including our immigrant populations.
One of the main threats to the Mission and its working-class and Latino families who are being driven
out by gentrification right now is the conversions from blue-collar work sites and community-serving
sites to destination and party sites for wealthier newcomers to the city.
This proposal is a quintessential example of this problem and will contribute to further displacement
i mpacts - converting a site that has been an auto shop and arts space into a party space for principally
u pscale workers, as epitomized by the photos of the unauthorized conversion already online. Groups
like Google and Uber are already using the space for illegal parties at this point.
W hile we are not aware that this site has been providing these kinds ofjobs most recently, after
displacing the popular arts space Shotwell Studios from the space, this conversion will further add to
price pressure on our disappearing PDR parcels.
3. What alternatives or changes to the proposed project...would reduce the adverse effects noted
above in question number 1?
This project should remain community-stabilizing industrial space. If the tenant wishes to open a party
space there are many such available spaces in the city they could utilize. We would ask that they
consider ways they can make their new space elsewhere affordable and welcoming to the working class
if they decide to open in a similarly sensitive area.
