    The distance between the proposed façade of 375 East 1st and the Canvas Building (384 East 1st) ranges from 86 ft. (from the SE corner of the proposal to the NE corner of the Canvas building) to 110 ft. at mid-block. The closest distance between the proposed façade and 336 East 1st Ave is approximately 90 ft. These distances are from the faces of the buildings, and exclude protrusions like balconies or canopies.

    Comments about traffic calming can be received at the rezoning stage by submitting a comment on this SYC page.

    The cultural amenity space is intended to be a production space for arts and culture, offered turnkey to the City. Should the Rezoning be approved, the City will engage with the arts and culture community to refine the use of the space, and undertake a process to select a non-profit arts and culture operator. 

    Additional public benefits offered as part of this application currently include approximately 32 social housing units, offered turnkey to the City. There is a publicly-accessible green space and plaza on the west side of the project. You can see this green space on page 65 of the application booklet.
