PROJECT DESCRIPTION
When lntracorp begins a project we always start with a vision meeting, a discussion with the community,
and an understanding of the potential buyers who will live in the new homes that we build. We pride
ourselves on enhancing a lifestyle and we look to the surrounding community for our inspiration. We
work with our architect partners to create neighborhoods and design great places. Our goal is not to
develop a single "project" in San Carlos, but rather, to design, entitle, and build a new addition to the San
Carlos community that we will all look at with pride. We hope this will be the first of many developments
we work on in downtown San Carlos.
Development of Wheeler Plaza should achieve the following goals:
•
Contribute to the ongoing revitalization of the downtown commercial district
•
Provide convenient and affordable housing for demographic groups that desire the ease of being
located within walking distance of services, transit, and community gathering spots
•
Reduce the traffic impacts of new residents and simplify and rationalize downtown traffic patterns
•
Increase the availability, attractiveness, and accessibility of pedestrian-ways and gathering spaces
•
Contribute landmark architecture that relates to and transitions well between existing building forms
and land uses
•
Prioritize the importance of considerate and collaborative neighbor and community interaction during
the planning, development, and construction processes
To achieve these goals we will develop housing at the core of the project around architecturally screened
parking, and transform the areas that interface with the surrounding commercial properties into new,
active, safe and pedestrian friendly streetscapes. The following principles will guide the development
process:
•
Community Continuity: The development of Wheeler Plaza must compliment the surrounding
neighborhood and enhance the active streetscape of Laurel Street, Walnut Street and San Carlos Ave.
We plan to provide a new, attractive residential mixed-use community that would add to the vibrancy
of the downtown area while respecting the existing scale. r7r
Continuity will be critical for the community, planning and
entitlement process. We plan to step the buildings back from
the street frontages creating both vertical and horizontal
articulation along the streetscape. The street level use and
architectural character of the long Walnut St. frontage will be
developed in consultation with existing property owners,
businesses, and tenants on that block of Walnut. The amount
of housing that will be developed will be determined by the
interplay of the architectural setbacks and open space. It will
be further determines by the entitlement process, parking
requirements, the requirements of the City's inclusionmy
housing ordinance; the building and fire code requirements; and the economics of the development.
At this point we anticipate that we will be able to develop between 135 and 165 efficient and well
designed residential homes on the site.

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION
O Livability: The site will be designed to accommodate new owners and users as well as the people
that currently live shop and work in the neighborhood. The new development ‘vill provide boutique,
community based, city living for San Carlos residents. The easy access to the neighborhood reduces
vehicle trips and accommodates a convenience-oriented, active and modern lifestyle.
•
Active Retail: The Walnut St./San Carlos Ave. corner will be transformed into a statement property
with retail at-grade and residential or office above. In a new, smaller mixed-use building that
maintains the scale of the larger street we propose 20 to 30 residential units in 3 stories over two 3500
square foot commercial spaces. These retail spaces will front on San Carlos Ave and connect on the
backside to a generous paseo with outdoor space, landscaping and convenient access between Walnut
Street and the activity of Laurel Street.
•
Connections: The main entry for the mixed-use project will be on Walnut but we will provide
obvious vehicular connections to both private and public parking from Walnut and Laurel. We will
also design an activated pedestrian paseo that connects Walnut with Laurel. This paseo will provide a
community connection as well as retail activation, parking access, and fire access.
•
Flexible Design: We start with a conceptual plan that allows for changes through the process. We
also strive to use designs in urban locations that allow multiple and flexible uses. This increases
efficiency and improves the experience for owners, users and the community. For example: the
parking garage will be designed to allow for easy expansion during entitlements. The top floor of the
garage could provide more parking, outdoor space, or a podium deck for additional residential units.
Outdoor surfaces can be designed to allow multiple uses from retail to recreation to parking. Parking
can be shared between day use and night use. Residential units can be designed with smaller private
spaces and shared amenity spaces and common rooms.

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION
•
Parking: The 4-5 level parking garage will be discreet, mid-block and wrapped by residential and
commercial units so the structure itself is not visible from the streets. We will maintain and perhaps
even supplement the 187 existing parking stalls on site. By developing a long-span, commercial
grade parking garage in the center of the project we will avoid the prohibitive costs of a sub-grade
garage. We are therefore able to maintain an attractive design yet build parking for the city at the
lowest cost per stall. We also allow for expansion of the garage, if desired by the city and the
community, to accommodate additional parking beyond the 187 replacement spaces already
anticipated.
•
Healthy and Efficient Living: lntracorp is a leader in green building. We encourage you to tour the
recently completed 269 unit Arterra project in San Francisco. Arterra is San Francisco's first LEED
certified residential high-rise using recycled materials, Trespa siding, recycled glass, bamboo and
cork flooring, and a living roof. We envision various elements of Green design on this site with a
specific focus on healthy living, clean air, resource reduction and energy efficiency. It is anticipated
that green building elements will include, among other things: high performance windows, high
efficiency furnaces, Energy Star appliances and light fixtures, green certified carpeting and low VOC
paint. We will also strongly consider solar-produced electricity.
•
Strong Economics: We start with attractive design but we make sure that the structure can be built
efficiently and under budget. We will take cost from the structure (the unseen) and put it into the
façades, landscape, and finishes (the seen). By using Type V wood construction and commercial
garage designs we will minimize construction costs for parking and for the residences. We will also
design smaller, well-lit, efficient homes. Together these steps will result in lower cost homes and
lower cost parking for the city, without sacrificing design.

professionals who manage projects and control risk to allow for successful investment in conjunction with
our institutional partners and investors. ISF's objective is to create value-added products suited to the
unique urban markets of the greater Bay Area. To achieve this goal, we study the intricacies of each
market. The team invests time and money in market research to ascertain the retail and residential
characteristics most desired by potential buyers and tenants. With these design parameters we utilize our
extensive experience and create products that fit the market's profile and also target the area's particular
price points and rental rates. This attention to detail is an intrinsic part of ISF's philosophy.
ISF's core competency is the development of attached urban residential housing in urban locations. The
company's residential development activities in the San Francisco Bay Area are currently focused on
townhomes, mid-rise and high-rise projects of at least 50 units in infill locations. Our track record
demonstrates our success. Our team has successfully managed entitlements in communities throughout
the Bay area including complex political climates such as San Francisco, East Palo Alto, San Mateo and
San Lorenzo. We have entitled over 800 units in San Francisco, 350 units in Oakland, and 500 units in
other Bay area cities. We have projects currently underway in San Mateo, San Jose, Daly City and San

COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP
We pride ourselves on our ability to work with the
community to build trust and develop great projects.
Each project must work not only for us but also for
the city, the community and the neighborhood. We
have led complex and delicate community processes
in situations with 10 to 500 actively involved
community members. We encourage you to talk to
with economic and redevelopment agency contacts in
San Jose, San Francisco, Alameda County, San
Lorenzo, East Palo Alto, and San Mateo regarding our
leadership in community organization. We have
included a list of contacts and references for your
information.
Development Challenges:
We start the community process by identifying challenges and then address these though outreach, site
design and proactive management. We can anticipate the following challenges:
•
NIMBY: neighborhood opposition
•
Setbacks and stepbacks: adjacencies
O
Vehicles: traffic and vehicular access
O
Parking: adequate parking must be provided
O
Inclusionary Housing: 15% affordable units
•
Union: 100% union or prevailing wage
development
•
Rezoning, conditional approvals and coordination
with the General Plan update
O
Height, FAR and Density: FAR, 50 foot height
limitation and the different densities allowed by
zoning and the general plan
•
Off-site Work: city off-site utility connections
O
Open Space: Adequate open space must be provided
•
Bike and Pedestrian Connections: strong connections through the site
O
Construction and demolition: coordinated and phased to allow for parking, off-site staging, and
continued access to neighboring businesses
O
Design guidelines: compatible with surrounding design, scale and site configuration
Entitlement Strategy:
We plan to work with the city as the General Plan evolves. It is always complicated submitting on a
specific site when there is a larger planning process underway. We recognize this challenge and can
address it through strong communication and outreach. We will work closely with staff to coordinate the
process. In addition we will start the CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) process early.
INTRACORP
WHEELER PLAZA
DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
Although an EIR has been completed it is critical to start the CEQA process so it can move in parallel
with the entitlement and design process. For the purposes of CEQA we will assume maximum densities
to account for all possible development scenarios on the site.
We assume the development will need discretionary approvals from the Architectural Review Committee,
Planning Commission and City Council. Typically, we would expect entitlements to take 9-12 months,
but the critical item is support from the community. With community support the process can move
smoothly. Hence, we assume 18 months is the minimum realistic timeline for approvals. We will begin
the community and project outreach with the action items below:
Specific Action Items:
o
Work with the City to engage a highly qualified CEQA consultant that can expedite the process
o
Begin neighborhood outreach early through a series of community open house formats that allow
community members to talk one on one with development staff and answer questions. Avoid large
town-hall style community meetings
o
Identify community "thought leaders" early and engage with them one on one
•
Meet "one on one" with small groups and key individuals in the community
•
Identify community benefits early and communicate benefits vs. development alternatives
•
Break down the scale of the total project and discuss project elements including parking, paseos, retail
and housing
•
Meet with all of elected officials and city leaders early and often
•
Solicit project support from the community and from regional organizations that promote green
building, smart growth and infi II development

PROPOSAL FOR DISPOSITION OF SITE
PROPOSAL FOR DISPOSITION OF SITE
It is out intent to enter into a Disposition and Development agreement with the city to acquire the site.
We have extensive experience with Owner Participation Agreements, Exclusive Negotiating Agreements
and Disposition and Development Agreements. We have worked with cities and counties around the Bay
and we understand the unique challenges staff faces and the motivations of cities working to benefit the
communities they represent. We are currently negotiating an ENA with the Daly City School district and
we were just selected and approved by the San Jose City Council (as the Redevelopment Agency Board)
as the developer for the North San Pedro redevelopment in Downtown San Jose. Please see the list of
references below.
An agreement with the city would allow us to move forward with entitlements and would condition
closing on the land based on obtaining city approvals and permits for the development. We would work
with the city to negotiate an agreement that allows long term city ownership of either title or easement
rights to parking for public use on the site.
We will also work with surrounding land owners to expand the site. We have extensive experience
negotiating private land transactions and can facilitate expansion of the site as needed.

FIRM EXPERTISE
ARTERRA
San Francisco, CA
Arterra is a new 269-home development in San Francisco's growing Mission Bay neighborhood. Developed by lntracorp San Francisco, and designed by Kwan Henmi Architecture/Planning, Arterra is planned to be the First LEEDO Certified Residential High-Rise in San Francisco.
Located just a block from the AT&T ballpark, residents will have easy access to a variety of
public transportation, bicycle pathways, lush parks, nearby shopping, and even a neighborhood
library. The living green roof, Trespa exterior wall panels, water-saving bathroom fixtures, are
just a few of the many design elements that make this project sustainable. The 269 units are
divided among a 16-story high rise, mid-rise and low-rise sections; breaking up the massing
and optimizing views, light and air. Other amenities include an in-house gymnasium, outdoor
decks and above-grade parking shielded from the street by urban townhouse units.
ICON @ DOYLE
Emeryville, CA
This adaptive re-use of a warehouse to multi-family residential rental units is designed to reconcile the area's mix of industrial buildings and single family bungalows, while bringing a modern
aesthetic to the historic context. The ground level includes 8 live / work units with street level
entries and parking for 43 cars hidden in the interior of the building. Newly constructed townhouses on the second level are accessed through a landscaped mews. Elements such as shed
roofs and varied colors and textures articulate each townhouse unit. Former loading docks are
framed with iron wood and now serve as entries for the live / work units and the garage. Generously sized anodized aluminum windows, high ceilings of varied heights, skylights that bring
light through two-story volumes residences, and concrete flooring in the lobby serve to respect
the site's evolution, while providing highly appealing contemporary living spaces.
ONE FEDERAL STREET LOFTS
San Francisco, CA
One Federal Street Lofts is an adaptive re-use of an existing 3-story concrete warehouse
located on a San Francisco Redevelopment Agency site in the South Beach area. The building
contains 49 residential units varying in size from 730 sf to 1,060 sf. These are loft type units,
taking advantage of the 14 foot ceiling height and offering an alternative to the conventional
high-rise units coming on line simultaneously. In addition to the lobby and parking, there are
ground floor units with private entrances along a pedestrian mews.
Since the building was recognized as contributory in an historic district, Kwan Henmi
collaborated with several historical preservation groups and the redevelopment agency
to gain project support. To preserve the historic character of the building, the two major
street elevations were retained, except for the vertical enlargement of the existing window
openings in order to provide enough light to accommodate the new residential use. This
design maintains the historic character of the old warehouse, while providing living units for
the modern SOMA life style.
FIRM EXPERTISE
MISSION BAY N4P3
San Francisco, CA
This 5-story multi-housing project containing 129 for-sale units, 80 of
them below-market rate, is situated on a curving triangular site situated
between a long-established light-industrial area including a freeway
off-ramp to the north and a new residential neighborhood to the south.
To shield the units along the north side from the off-ramp noise and,
at the same time, pay homage to the industrial nature of that side of
the site, the building was clad with a metal 'skin'. Recessed balconies
that contain most of the glazing offer additional protection from the
freeway noise. Along Berry Street, to the south, the building adjusts
to the residential scale and pedestrian focus of the neighborhood with
sidewalk level unit entries and projecting bays and balconies at the
upper levels. The Berry Street facade culminates with a strong entry
statement and a small outdoor space for community gathering.
CENTRIA
Milpitas, CA
This residential transit-oriented development is located next to

SOUTH MAIN STREET RESIDENTIAL
Milpitas, CA
Located on the site of an existing trailer park within a light industrial
area of Milpitas, this development was designed in accordance with
the new city planning overlay which restores the city grid in this
area. The 391 residential units are broken into 4 quasi-city blocks
by small scale streets with trees and parking. A large community
space with swimming pool is located at the major intersection
within the site. Each block of residential units each surrounds ing
and concealsing the parking structures beunderneath a landscaped
courtyard. Ground floor units and ground floor units. Internal streets
are designed to replicate small residential streets and street tree.
The units facing South Main, a major boulevard, have individual
street entries with small patios.
