The document proposes a housing development called 1979 Mission that would include 41 workforce homes priced between $280,000-$350,000, 49 affordable rental units priced at 30-55% of the area median income, and 290 market rate apartments. It would provide community benefits like activating street frontages, expanding a nearby plaza, improving safety routes to the adjacent Marshall Elementary School, and a proposal to increase the school's size by 50% which would enhance safety and increase playground area. The development complies with the city's height limits and includes 137 parking spaces for residents.

citywide since 2000
• Approximately only 1,500 of those were built in the
