This parcel is located in the RC-4 (Residential-Commercial, High Density Zoning District) and 130-E Height and Bulk District. The request is whether the administrative support offices of On Lok Senior Health Services would be permitted to operate at the first and second floors of the subject building, consistent with Planning Commission (Case No. 1999.086C). allows for office space above the ground floor at the subject property, establishing 4,697 square feet of office space on the second floor and 4,774 square feet of office space on the third floor, under Section 209.8(d) of the Planning Code at the time of approval (August 24, 2000). The proposed use of On Lok Senior Health Services at is to enroll participants in the PACE program and provide office space for administrative support. The first and second floors would operate as On Lok Senior Health Services. The first floor would be open to the public and include space to conduct outreach and enroll participants and the second floor would consist of office space for administrative support. The third floor office space is currently operating as a medical office and would be retained as office space separate from On Lok. The proposed office falls under the definition of Business or Professional Service (Section 790.108) and is principally permitted at the ground floor per Section 209.8(a). Section 209.8(c) permits the use above the ground floor with Conditional Use authorization. The Conditional Use authorization to operate as a Business or Professional Service use above the ground floor was granted by Planning Commission. However, Planning Code Section 209.8(f) requires Conditional Use authorization for all non-residential uses exceeding 6,000 gross square feet. As the combined use size of the first and second floors total 9,471 square feet, a Conditional Use authorization for use size is required for the proposed use. If you wish to operate the proposed On Lok Senior Health Services office at, a Conditional Use Authorization from the Planning Commission under Section 209.8(f) of the Planning

Stephen Ledoux January 9, 2014 Davis Wright Tremaine, LLP Letter of Determination 1300 SW Fifth Avenue, Suite 2400 815-827 Hyde Street Portland, OR 97201-5610 Code is required. A building permit application for the change of use to Service, Business or Professional would also be required for the ground floor. Additionally, as the building is a Known Historic Resource in a National Register Historic District, any storefront, signage and fa ade alterations would have to be reviewed by a Preservation Planner for impacts to the architectural character. APPEAL: If you believe this determination represents an error in interpretation of the Planning Code or abuse in discretion by the Zoning Administrator, an appeal may be filed with the Board of Appeals within 15 days of the date of this letter. For information regarding the appeals process, please contact the Board of Appeals located at 1650 Mission Street, Room 304, San Francisco, or call (415) 575-6880. Sincerely, Scott F.

On Lok Senior Health Services intends to enter into a lease with the current owner, Ming Zhu, LLC. A check in the amount of $615 is enclosed. On Lok requests a determination that its proposed use of the first and second floor is authorized without further authorizations such as a conditional use permit. is in a RC-4 (residential-commercial high density) District. This three story building has always been a commercial building without housing. It was built in 1907 as the "East Exchange" building and has housed the Franklin Exchange, a dance hall, a private club and offices. Office use at the second and third story level was approved by the Planning Commission s approval of a Conditional Use application in August of 2000, attached for your reference. It is our understanding that the second floor has been used for offices since the conditional use was authorized. At this point in time, the second floor is temporarily vacant while the third floor is used for medical offices. On Lok does not plan to lease the third floor. It would like to use the second floor in the manner described further below, with a maximum occupancy of 47 persons, and believes its use will be consistent with the conditional use authorization. No parking would be provided as none was required by the conditional use authorization. With regard to the first floor, Planning Code section 209.9 authorizes as a principal use on the ground floor of a "Social service or philanthropic facility providing assistance of a charitable or public service nature and not of a profitmaking or commercial nature" as specified in Planning Code 209.3(d). On Lok requests a determination that its proposed use is authorized pursuant to this section of the planning code.

Scott F. Sanchez October 29, 2013 Page 2 On Lok means "peaceful happy abode" in Cantonese. Starting in 1971, On Lok Senior Health Services pioneered the model of care known today as "Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly" or PACE, which is now a certified Medicare and Medi-Cal option in the San Francisco Bay Area for seniors living with chronic illness or disabilities. Currently the PACE program is provided by On Lok Lifeways PACE, but On Lok Senior Health Services enrolls participants in the PACE program and provides various other administrative services required for the PACE program to function. On Lok Senior Health Services also supports On Lok Housing, Inc. and On Lok Community Housing, Inc. These organizations provide affordable housing for seniors in San Francisco at On Lok House (1441 Powell), 1000 Montgomery and the Dr. William M. Gee House. Please refer to www.onlok.org for more information. 815 Hyde Street would be leased by On Lok Senior Health Services. On Lok Senior Health Services would use the leased space to provide information about the PACE program to interested members of the public, often in person, and to enroll people in the program. On Lok Senior Health Services would also use the space for additional services that support either the PACE services or the housing services. The offices would be used by administrative support staff such as human resources, clinical supervisors and nurses, software developers for On Lok s IT needs, claims payment functions, facilities supervisors, and business development. On Lok Senior Health Services would appreciate as quick a response as possible, as its current lease at 1348-1368 Bush Street expires on December 31, 2013.

THE PROPOSAL IS TO ESTABLISH 4,697 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND 4,774 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF THE EXISTING THREE-STORY BUILDING. Preamble On February 10, 1999, Jardin Consulting Group, authorized agent of owner (hereinafter "Applicant") made application (hereinafter Application ) for Conditional Use Authorization to allow the upgrade and remodel the interior of an existing three-story building to provide 9,453 square feet of office space above the ground floor in conformity with plans filed with the Application (hereinafter "Project"), on the property at 815-827 Hyde Street, on the west side between Bush and Suffer Streets, Lot 4 in Assessor s Block 279 in an RC-4 (Residential- Commercial Combined High Density) District and 130-E Height and Bulk District. On August 24, 2000, the San Francisco City Planning Commission (hereinafter "Commission") conducted a duly noticed public hearing at a regularly scheduled meeting on Conditional Use Application No. 1999.086C at which time the Commission reviewed and discussed the findings prepared for its review. The proposed Conditional Use application was determined by the San Francisco Department of City Planning (hereinafter "Department ) to be categorically exempt from the environmental review process pursuant to Title 14 Of the California Administrative Code. The Commission has reviewed and concurs with stt. determination. The Commission has heard and considered the testimony presented to it at the public hearing and has further considered written materials and oral testimony presented on behalf of the applicant, Department staff, and other Interested parties. Findings Having reviewed all the materials identified in the recitals above, and having heard oral testimony and arguments, this Commission finds, concludes and determines as follows:

Page 2 1. The above recitals are accurate and also constitute the findings of the Commission. 2. The applicant seeks Conditional Use Authorization under Section 209.8(d) of the Planning Code to upgrade and remodel the interior of an existing threestory building to provide office space above the ground floor. The proposal Is to establish 4,697 square feet of office use at the second floor and 4,774 square feet of office space on the third floor; the first floor and basement level will also be converted to office space with 4,439 square feet and 4,658 square feet of office space, which are permitted uses within the RC-4 Zoning District. No parking would be required or provided. The maximum number of occupants for the proposed office space on each floor would be approximately 48 persons. The proposal will not involve the expansion of the existing building envelope and the front facade of the building will be retained and restored. 3. Section 206.3 defines RC-4 Districts provide for a mixture of high-density dwellings similar to those in RM-4 Districts with supporting commercial uses. The commercial uses are those permitted in 0-2 (Community Business) Districts, located in or below the ground story in most instances, and excluding automobile-oriented establishments. Open spaces are required for dwellings in the same manner as in RM-4 Districts, except that rear yards need not be at the ground level and front setback areas are not required. The high-daisity and mixed-use nature of these districts is recognized by certain reductions in off-street parking requirements. 4. Section 209.8(d: Conditional Use Authorization required for retail, personal service or other commercial establishment permitted as a principal use in a 0-2 District, which is located in a building above the ground story. 5. Section 219: Permits professional and business offices above the ground floor as principal uses in 0-2 Districts. 6. Section 150(c(1) & Section 150(c)(2): For any structure or use lawfully existing on such effective date, off-street parking and loading spaces need be provided only in the case of a major addition to such structure or use, and only in the quantity required for the major addition itself. A "major addition" is defined as any enlargement, alteration, change of occupancy or increase in intensity of use which would increase the number of off-street parking spaces required for dwelling units by one or more spaces. Any lawful deficiency in offstreet parking or loading spaces existing on such effective date may be carried forward for the structure or use, apart from such major acfrition. 7. Section 151: One off-street parking space for each 500 square feet of occupied floor area, where the occupied floor area exceeds 5,000 square feet. The proposed office space in the entire building would not require parking per Planning Code Sections 150(c)(1), 150(c)(2), and 153(a)(2). The existing uilding

Page had an exemption for parking under Planning Code Section 150(c)(1) and 150(c)(2) for 47 spaces. The proposed office use would only require 38 parking spaces. There would be no lawful deficiency in off-street parking or loading spaces from the proposed change of occupancy in the building; moreover, the intensity of use of the building will decrease from its previous use which required more off-street parking to accommodate club/assembly/office use. Therefore, no additional off-street parking is required for the proposed project. Section 153(a)(2): In calculating the required number of off-street parking and freight loading spaces, where the initial quantity of floor area, rooms, seats or other form of measurement is exempted from off-street parking or loading requirements, such exemption shall apply only once to the aggregate of that form of measurement. Section 303: Outlines requirements for Conditional Use Authorization. 10. Under the provisions of Code Section 303, the Commission may authorize a Conditional Use after finding that the proposed use will provide a development that is necessary or desirable for and compatible with the neighborhood or the community, that such use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, welfare, and convenience of persons residing or working in the vicinity, and that such use will not adversely affect the Master Plan. The proposed project does comply with the criteria of Section 303 of the Code In that: (1) The proposed use at the size and intensity contemplated and at the proposed location, does provide a development that is necessary and desirable for, and compatible with, the neighborhood or the community. The location of the office space on the site and the proposed Intensity is entirely consistent with the activities in the Downtown Civic Center area and those surrounding the site on Hyde Street. The provision of office space will also provide necessary and desirable economic and employment opportunities In the neighborhood. As a result, the location of office space at the sile will be a desirable asset for the City. (2) The project will not be potentially detrimenti., to the health, safety, convenience or general welfare of pons residing or working in the vicinity, or injurious to property, improvements or potential development In the vicinity.

Page 4 (a) The nature. of the proposed site, including its size and shape and the proposed size, shape and arrangement of structures. The proposed use would not alter the size or shape of the existing building envelope. The historic facade work of the existing building will be retained and restored. (b) 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. There would be no lawful deficiency in off-street parking or loading spaces from the proposed change of occupancy in the building for office only use. The proposed use of the building will decrease from its previous use which required more off-street parking to accommodate club/assembly/office use. Worker and visitors to the site would be discourage from driving and encouraged to use alternative modes of transportation. The project site is well served by public transit. Several muni lines and a cable car line is located within walking distance of the project site. In addition, there are several existing parking lots within the vicinity of the project site that will accommodate workers and visitors traveling to the, proposed office building by automobile. (C) The safeguard afforded to prevent noxious or offensive emissions such as noise, glare, dust and odor. The proposed office space would not emit noxious or offensive emissions such as noise, glare, dust or odor. (d) Treatment given, as appropriate, to such aspects as landscaping, screening, open spaces, parking and loading areas, service areas, lighting and signs. Besides work to preserve the facade and modifications to the entryways to comply with the American Disability Act requirements, there will be no changes to the external configuration of the three-story building. Therefore, there are no negative impacts on landscaping, screening, open space, parking and loading areas, service areas, lighting and signs.

Page 5 11. The project is consistent with the following objectives, policies, and programs under the Commerce and industry Element and Transportation Element of the General Plan: Commerce and lndustiy Element General/Citywide S OBJECTIVE 1 Manage economic growth and change to ensure enhancement of the total city living and working environment. POLICY 1: Encourage development which provides substantial net benefits and minimizes undesirable consequences. Discourage development which has substantial undesirable consequences that cannot be mitigated. OBJECTIVE 2 Maintain and enhance a sound, and diverse economic base and fiscal structure for the city. POLICY 1: Seek to retain existing commercial and industrial activity and to attract new such activity to the city. Neighborhood Commerce OBJECTIVE 6 Maintain and strengthen viable neighborhood commercial areas easily accessible to city residents. POLICY 1: Ensure and encourage the retention and provision of neighborhood-serving goods and services in the city s neighborhood commercial districts, while recognizing and encouraging diversity among the districts. POLICY 2: Promote economically vital neighborhood commercial districts which foster small business enterprises and entrepreneurship and which are responsive to economic and technological innovation in the marketplace and society. POLICY 10: Promote neighborhood commercial revitalization, including community-based and other economic development efforts where feasible.

Page 6 The proposed project preserves an architecturally important building while at the same time providing office space for a small business enterprise in response to the Neighborhood Commerce and General/Citywide Commerce and Industry Objectives. Transportation Element Transit First OBJECTIVE 11 Maintain public transit as the primary mode of transportation in San Francisco and as a means through which to guide future development and Improve regional mobuity and air quality. POLICY 11.3: Encourage development that efficiently coordinates land use with transit service, requiring that developers address transit concerns as well as mitigate traffic problems. Citywide Parking OBJECTIVE 34 Relate the amount of parking in residential areas and neighborhood commercial districts to the capacity of the city s street system and land use patterns. POLICY 34.3: Permit minimal or reduced off-street parking for new buildings in residential and commercial areas adjacent to transit centers and along franslt preferential streets. The project would not provide any parking, which is appropriate in response to the Transit First and Citywide Parking Objectives. 12. City Planning Code Section 101.1 establishes eight priority planning policies and requires review of permits for consistency with said policies. The project does comply with said policies in that: a. That the existing neighborhood service retail uses be preserved and enhanced and future opportunities for resident employment in and ownership of such businesses is enhanced. The proposed project would bring employment opportunities to the area, which would also serve to strengthen the neighborhood retail uses.

Page 7 b. That existing housing and neighborhood character are conserved and protected in order to preserve the cultural and economic diversity of our neighborhoods. The provision of approximately 9,453 square feet of office space above the ground floor level of the existing three-story building will not affect neighborhood character and diversity. C, That the City s supply of affordable housing be preserved and enhanced. As the site has never been used residentially, no housing would be displaced. d. That commuter traffic not impede Muni transit service or overburden our streets or neighborhood parking. There would be no lawful deficiency in off-street parking or loading spaces from the proposed change of occupancy in the building for office only use. The proposed use of the building will decrease from its previous use which required more off-street parking to accommodate club/assembly/office use. Worker and visitors to the site would be discourage from driving and encouraged to use alternative modes of transportation. The project site is well served by public transit. Several muff lines and a cable car line is located within walking distance of the project site. In addition, there are several existing parking lots within the vicinity of the project. site that will accommodate workers and visitors traveling to the proposed office building by automobile. e. That a diverse economic base be maintained by protecting our industrial and service sectors from displacement due to commercial office development, and future opportunities for resident employment and ownership in these.sectors be enhanced. No industrial or service industry establishment would be displaced by the project. The proposed office use will also provide a source of employment for persons in the neighborhood, and the city. f. That the City achieve the greatest possible preparedness to protect against injury and loss of life in an earthquake.

Page 8 Compliance with applicable structural safety and seismic safety requirements will be considered during the building permit review process. g. That landmarks and historic buildings be preserved. The existing historic facade of this significant building as designated by the 1976 Architectural Survey of Significant Buildings by the Planning Department will be retained and restored. h. That our parks and open space and their access to sunlight and vistas be protected from development. The project would not have an impact on open space or parks or their access to sunlight and vistas. 13. The Project is consistent with and would promote the general and specific purposes of the Code provided under Section 101.1 in that, as designed, the project would contribute to the character and stability of the neighborhood and would constitute a beneficial development. 14.
