925 MISSION STREET AND VARIOUS PARCELS (“5M Project”) – Certification of Environmental Impact Report for a project that would entail development of office, retail, residential, cultural, educational, and open space uses in the southwest quadrant of Fifth and Mission Streets in Downtown San Francisco. The project would result in the retention/renovation of four buildings (Chronicle Building at 901-933 Mission Street, constructed in 1924; the Dempster Printing Building at 447-449 Minna Street, constructed in 1907; the Camelline Building at 430 Natoma Street, constructed in 1923; and a portion of the existing Examiner Building’s connector to the Chronicle Building), the demolition of five existing buildings and surface parking lots (910 Howard Street, 912 Howard Street, 924-926 Howard Street, 190 Fifth Street and 110 Fifth Street) and construction of three towers (“H-1, N-1, M-2”) on the approximately four-acre site. The project would accommodate a program of approximately 821,300 square feet of residential uses (approximately 690 units), 807,600 square feet of office uses, and 68,700 square feet of other active ground-floor uses (a mix of retail establishments, recreational and arts facilities, restaurants, workshops, and educational uses). Building heights would range from approximately 31 feet to 470 feet. The project would also include vehicular parking, bicycle parking and loading facilities, private- and publicly-accessible open-space and streetscape and public-realm improvements. The Project Site is currently located within the C-3-S and RSD Zoning Districts, the 40-X/85-B, 90-X, and 160-F Height and Bulk Districts, and is partially located within the SOMA Youth and Family Special Use District.
