Mission housing plan shrinks to 20 units after neighborhood talks

A proposed housing project at 3230 24th St. has been scaled back to 20 units from the 35-home building first filed in December. The revised plan, submitted June 25, replaces an eight-story concept with a six-story building and keeps the triangular parcel at 24th and Capp streets in play for housing.

The latest filing calls for 10 studios, five two-bedroom apartments and five three-bedroom homes. Two of the 20 units would be affordable, while 18 would be market-rate. The building would rise about 66 feet and include 18 bicycle spaces, but no on-site car parking. It would also hold about 1,207 square feet of retail space, with Juanita’s Flowers listed for the ground floor.

Earlier plans described an eight-story, 84-foot-tall building with 35 apartments, 32 bicycle spaces, roughly 33,820 square feet of total floor area and about 1,870 square feet of retail. That version included 14 studios, 14 one-bedroom units and seven two-bedroom units. The new design drops the one-bedrooms entirely and shifts the project toward larger apartments. Peter Logan said the change reflected a 25 percent reduction in size and an effort to create homes better suited to families.

Wong Logan Architects is listed as the property owner, applicant and architect through Trigona LLC, linked to Logan and Marcy Wong. The site sits in the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District and is about one block from the 24th Street Mission BART station at 2800 Mission St.

Community discussions are still underway, and Calle 24 wants a public meeting so residents can review design details. In 2017, neighbors and owners clashed over a five-story, 17-unit proposal at 24th and Capp.
