of NihonmachiLittle Friends(NLF) schoollocatedat 1830-1834SutterStreet
onto the playgroundspaceof their property. The JTF Board wges approval
of the project,including the requestedvariancefor rear yard open space.
Establishedin r975,NLF is a non-profit, community basedorganization
providing high quality and affordablechildcareprogramsthat integrate
Japaneselanguageand culture. An anchor neighborhoodinstitution, they
connectdiverse families throughout San Franciscoto Japantown,thus playing
a critical role in the cultural and economicsustainabilityof the neighborhood.
In order to secure,consolidateand expandtheir preschoolprogram,which is
currentlyhousedin two sites,NLF plans to build a 9,978 sf, two-story
addition with basementto their existing Sutter Streetpreschool- a
historically-significantJulia Morgan building - in the locationcurrently
occupiedby three off-street parking spacesand the play areathat servesthe
preschool. The proposedproject maintainsthe currentSutterStreetsetback
establishedby the existingpreschoolbuilding. It also matchesthe rear
setbackof the existing building, thus requiring a zoning variance from the
rear yard requirement.A rooftop playground will offset the loss of the current
play area. The building size and programis driven by Califomia code
requirementsfor indoor and outdoor activity space(sf per child) and licensing
mandates.

The JapantownTask Force supportsthe proposedproject on the following
basis:
C o m n r u n i tAvi c l c s
Creglv4arutani
l)
The project supports key goals of the JCHESS - The expanded
facility supportsthe long-term sustainability of the organizationand
its Japanese-enriched
curriculum, which plays an important role in
preservingcultural heritage.It contributesto a thriving commercial
and retail district by attracting new families throughout the city to
Japantown.And, it enhancesthe attractivenessand vitality of the
neighborhoodthrough its designand community-servingprogram.
2)
The project's design is sensitiveto, and compatible witho the
neighborhood and streetscape- The contemporarydesignof the
addition respectsthe prevailing scaleof the streetand complements
its immediateneighbors- the JCCCNC and Julia Morgan structure--

without replicating their architecture. Subtle design strategies,
including the alignmentof major horizontalelements,window and
doorway configuration and details, integration of "shoji" pattern
language,and exterior building materials and color palette createa
unique, but cohesiveinfill project with cultural meaning. An exterior
Japanesegardenadds a much-needednatural elementto the
streetscape.The generoussetbackofthe project also providesvisual
relief and a welcoming streetpresenceand respectsthe entry to the
JCCCNC buildins.
3)
The project's design reflects best practices for additions to
historic buildings - Significant care and effort went into crafting a
compatible building addition distinct from the Julia Morgan structure,
without dominating or distracting from it. This is in keeping with the
principlesof the Secretaryof the Interior's Standardsfor the
Treatmentof Historic Properties.

The project was designedin good faith - NLF engagedin an
extensivedesignreview processwith the Planning Departmentand
neighborhood,meeting and surpassingall requirementsfor community
outreach.They consultedwith neighborsto understandtheir concerns
and revised the building designto reach mutually-beneficial outcomes.
NLF also sought the involvement of the LUBF committee through
review and input to incorporateJCHESSprinciples into their design.
5)
NLF has committed to good communication during construction NLF has clearly demonstratedthat they understandthe possible
constructionimpacts on their neighbors,and especiallythe programs
for seniorsand youth at the adjacentJCCCNC building. They have
committed to clearly communicatewith the neighbors so as to avoid
surprisesand minimize disruption.
