it? incubator spa it's a stupid word. i think the discussion is great as long as we're keeping it open in order to promote what we're all kind of dreaming of. i think we should be able toi] so.ç president miguel: commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: thank you. i appreciate your remarks. i guess when we're looking at eastern neighborhoods and percentage of p.d.r., i'm not sure if we're also including the yaren that's east of 101 and before 280 around cesar chavez. i'm not sure if that was technically part of eastern neighborhoods. maybe that still is m-1. so our percentage might be higher. as partç of my trim yesterday, drove along valley lane and brisbane and saw lots of p.d.r. businesses there or a lot of office uses. those are some ones that we would like to have here. iti] seemed to be kind of a blended situation.

they had a combination office and manufacturing. it was kind of interesting. in the context of whatç we're looking at we have to figure out what we have to do to attract those businesses to san francisco.ç >> ok, commissioners. thank you. we cani] move on to item number- president miguel: let's take a 10-minute break at this point and then we'll move on. >> the commission is taking a 10-minute recess. thank you.w3

>> the planning commission is back in session. let me make a couple of announcements. as you can see, we do not allow standing in this room during the session. if you cannot find a seat, you need to go to overflow in room 416. the televisions are on. you can monitorç everything tht goes on. front row is generally reserved for staff. çi did make that announcement clear. commissioners, you are now on item 7, the california high speed rail policy standards. director rahm is bringing this before you. >>w3 before you is a policy statement that the mayor's office is asking several commissions to consider regarding high spiel -- high- speed rail.

this is a policy statement. generally, to support high speed rail, that commits us to working with a high-speed rail authority, largely in reflection of the recently adopted busines+ plan, which took a more detailed look at the time line for the real program. ççthis basically suggestsç te commission would support working cooperative with the authority andç other government entities. iç think the second resolve statement is important and significant to us because of the discussion happening. the commission believes the system must terminate at transkei --ko transbay çtransit center in order to fully realize the benefits of the system. further, supporting caltrans

electrification as a means to make the system compatible with the coming train. you may have read about this notion of what is called the startç program, which to -- whh weç have been working for with the transportation authority, the mta, which would be an early first phase of the rail that would involve electrification of california train -- of caltrain. it is important in our planning efforts to terminate at transbay terminal, rather than the current station. i would ask for your consideration and adoption of this statement. thank you. çpresident miguel: is there any public commentok on this item? i]ç>> suñre hester.

i take high-speed rail all the time in europe and loved it. i could not find anything when i went through looking for this hearing. i do not know what you have before you. i wanted to talk about something iç want you to pay attention t, which is we have a terrible, messy intersection at seventh streetxd and 16th street. resulting that intersection is life or death for muni service to third street, connecting the mission to the waterfront at 16th streeti]. because you had shown to you the last time itñr was before you, t was horrible. it was a physical separation between the square, but crow hill, and even the areas east of the freeway, which is mission bay. if this is not a priority level

one of the planning department and mta, and really serious -- it is fun designing terminals. çit is messy resolving big problems. but your focus should be not only to push this through, but to yell and scream internally that that has to be resolved. all the rezoning of the square, and petro hill, do not mean swat if you are consigning it to be an underpass/overpass that people cannotq which is the way it is planned right now. it is not a plan right now. it is 0 yes we draw a little line on the map. çyou need toç putç this on yr calendar and pay attention to it. çi haven't the faintest idea wo is in charge of this atç the department. they have their hands full dealing with transport.

he cannot be dealing with this area as well. it needs to be someone who bulldogs' the issue to a head. you are undoing all of your work on a showplace square terminal if you do not get that issue resolved. thank you. >> commissioners, dan murphy. eastern neighborhood city advisory committee had. ç-- head. i heard the final portion of the previous speaker's comments, but i would concur. i didt( not see the language in the resolution. i was hoping to seezv something that says everybody loves high- speed rail done right. i think that is essentially the message the previous speaker expressed. i want to reiterate that. çi know our incredibly capable planning staff have gone over this issue. theyym have come upwi
