Commission conditionally approves schematic design for 7‑unit mixed-use project at 4128 Third Street
Summary
The commission conditionally approved schematic design for a 6‑story, 7‑unit mixed‑use building at 4128 Third Street with one below‑market-rate unit and an innovative car-stacking turntable to provide four parking spaces; the owner emphasized local hiring and community roots.
The Successor Agency Commission conditionally approved schematic design for a narrow, six‑story, seven‑unit mixed‑use building at 4128 Third Street in the Bayview Industrial Triangle.
Staff described the project as a 9,500‑square‑foot infill development with one below-market-rate (BMR) ownership unit, ground-floor commercial space (including a laundromat) and four unbundled parking spaces made possible by a car turntable and stacking system. OCII staff recommended CEQA infill exemptions under guideline section 15332 and a set of conditions including facade irrigation, controls to prevent queuing on Third Street from the turntable, and BMR marketing aligned with OCII policy.
Owner and developer Alfred McAfee, who said he has operated in the Bayview for 43 years, told the commission he intends to hire locally and described the project as a legacy investment in the neighborhood. Letters and speakers in support emphasized the owner’s community ties and praised the design’s solution for constrained parking. The developer and design team said they would use durable, cost‑efficient materials and incorporate green elements such as solar panels.
On the motion (Commissioner Singh; second Commissioner Pimentel) the commission recorded a 4–0 vote with one absence to conditionally approve the schematic design, with conditions captured in staff recommendations and standard OCII design‑review controls.
