commissioner antonini: that is exactly the problem here because there is all this talk about the academy of art university which is not involved with supervisor ken's provisions at the behest of many of her constituents that own these residential hotels and have vacancies and say we want the ability to continue to rent to students. and now we are prohibiting them from renting to students and it could not be converted into a kind of student housing. you are creating new legislation and then changing the rules. you're doing a lot of things that aren't right here, i don't think. i would only support it if we approve all the things we have spoken about. the ability to build a new student housing, and the

allowances for the san francisco art institute. basically, conversion of rental units will be prohibited for six months with further study going on to be able to revisit this before the end of the six months. i think it is unwise to leave the head of this. i have been a proponent of conditional use because we can address those issues where it is appropriate to allow student housing from some residential housing. i will be voting against this and i don't think the makers of the motion will accept a friendly amendment to allow that to be limited only to studying the six-month period without going into details suns of theetting. -- of the sunsetting.

and supervisor kim could continue with her home pursuit of what she is trying to do. >> the supervisor can continue to do whatever she wants, it doesn't matter what we do. >> this is the second major piece of land use legislation that the housing action coalition brought forward. when they started with the first of the inclusion very pieces of legislation and done through them, it was a known fact and stated that within two years, there would be changes. this was a known fact. the supervisors that voted for it knew it and there was no questthe same thing may very wel happen here. what you want is a basic pieces

of legislation. let it go into place, let it sit and see what happens with it, and then you could move on and one, too, or three years if there are changes to be made. all that is in front of us right now is totally complicating the issue. i agree that supervisor kim's area, district, has a problem. there is a problem with 11 or 15 or whatever. vacant sro's. if they wanted to rent to students, they would probably be full of students by now. i don't see where the problem is. >> i wanted to clarify that since it came up in conversation that we have written a letter to the academy

of art saying that we will not consider any additional property from the current eir. if they buy additional properties, it will not be considered and they will have to go forward under their own environmental review separate. >commissioner moore: i congratulate all of us because this is supporting the new definition of student housing. it is a hold of opportunity that i think should give a boost to people that innovatively wanted to address the subject matter. it would not include the adaptation of other buildings that are used for other purposes for solely other purposes. i think we are on the right

track and i will support the way the motion has been made. commissioner sugaya: i don't think there is much doubt that there is a problem with sro's. i think she might have latched onto this has a kind of solution to probably a larger problem. i think we should encourage her to take a look at it from a larger perspective and to seek other ways of addressing the problem, about just using the student housing thing at this particular time. commissioner antonini: i have a question for ms. rogers along those lines. if this passes, which it appears it will, it would not prohibit a

supervisor kim or the owners of the sro's to a conversion to some other type of housing as specified by law, is that true? >> the controls conversion and demolition of the and it's, to the commission and the department would evaluate if there is a loss of units. you are allowed to change those residential hangs. commissioner sugaya: there could -- commissioner antonini: there could behalf of various situations where it would not be suitable. there could be some instances where it might be possible, but

it could not be in the category of student housing, it would have to be some other type of housing subject to the laws? >> that is correct. >> the motion on the floor is for approval of the legislativon with the modification introduced by the san francisco art institute. the modification to change language from an adjacent to shared a lot line. and the university of san francisco in relation to the monastery to strike the word a similar. >> and at the limited exception. >> i mentioned that at the beginning. >into strike reference to the

six-month moratorium. >> i know it is a little late, but can we separate the question where we take -- it is combined? that can't be supportive of the good parts of this? >> i think it is fair to make sure everybody is aware, it includes staff modifications, some of the modifications we have from the last report, the minor ones. the exemption for new housing, there were some amendments for the housing action coalition and they are pretty minor on pages 8 of the blood. and a technical amendment regarding the section reference.

and the prohibition and everything you have added. >> the motion as stated. commissioner antonini: no. commissioner borden: aye. commissioner miguel: aye. commissioner moore: aye. commissioner sugaya: aye. commissioner wu: aye. president fong: aye. >> it passes 6-1, commissioner antonini voting against. we will now go back to director's report and director's announcements. >> the most important thing is to report to you on the softball tournament. the department played three games and we lost to the library, the first game. i am told that they were not librarians that later. we want our game against the

department of human resources. and we lost to the department of parking and traffic. the players were there for eight hours. hole for a very good cause, the children's workers find city departments collected several thousand dollars. if i could, just one more thing. the good news is that the mayor has proposed a substantial increase to our budget and several new positions for the environmental planning and additional positions to support the legislative staff. and several one-time funds, funding for the completion of a central corridor and the

transportation sustainability program. i will say that we had our first budget during on monday. the legislative analyst's is not recommending all of these additions to our budget. we're trying to work that out with his office as of right now. we're going to the budget committee again for the second time on monday morning or they will have to take a vote and hopefully they will continue with these additional positions. i should point out that there are also to positions in the budget that are not general fund budget related to the warriors a readout. the budget will allow us additional positions to work on. in the interest of time, i don't think i have anything else.

>> good evening, planning department staff. this is your weekly board report. cp the -- the first cpmc meetings, it was the first of four. friday's hearing consisted of a general overview of the project and development agreement along with a focus of discussion on the job creation component of that agreement. president chiu and supervisor olague joined the committee. they focused on the local higher component and expressed a desire to commenit to hire local residents for more than five years. and to increase what is involved

with the project, the next year it will be june 25 and will focus on health care. i could tell you what the other hearings are about if you are interested. this project will develop where the golden gate swim and tennis club is, to construct a new residential building with 134 units. recertified -- we certified the eir in may. when we hear the final approvals, they move to amend the ordinance is to strike a reference that they have some --

but they gave him permission to seek he's planning entitlements and requested a continuance because these documents were not in the board filed. it is fine that they are held in our documents. and the motion to continue the item also failed 4-7. in past 8-3. it would amend planning cuts section 186 to allow for the reactivation of limited commercials. it has been broken up into five different pieces. >> i would have a report effective from mr. frye.

it was a prominent african- american businessmen and entrepreneurs that i believe is the first african-american to run for mayor. the of the bar from 1958 until 1995. staff has worked with him on the research. it was included earlier, last year on landmark designation programs, mr. jordan's family supported designation along with several members of the public. it was quite touching and staff was really taken by support of this project.

the other action that the preservation commission took was to construct a new transit station. that station is designed to use the same materials and blend into the current design of the square. union square is rated as a category one significant space in the downtown plan. they took that action as well. commissioner moore: be you have any quick answer to what happened to pier 29? could it be in the time for i am of repairing the overall buildings along the embarcadero? >> i was looking at a press release issued by the court this afternoon. i will summarize. they brought a construction company on board demobilize

cranes and remove the damaged area on top of the building and on the road and -- on the roof to reduce the hazard of debris falling. and they had architects and city staff to consult with the port engineers to make sure that we can maintain as much of the building as possible. they say that it will not impact the america's cup event. the peir itself -- pier itself was not affected, it was just the shed. >> the preservation consultant or architect, it is carrying a company. they had staff there at 9:00 in the morning. the engineers also there, things

are going to move fairly quickly to get restoration plans and the place. >> on those lines, i think we had a fire some years ago had appeared to 43 in fisherman's wharf. it was not connected. also, i believe sam jordan was known as the mayor of butcher town many years ago. >> good evening, acting as of the administrator. your board of appeals report for last night, there were four cases of some note. they were given the hours and i'm only going to address horn interest in particular which is a proposal that you had reviewed

in february, 5258 mission street. this was the first of the three medical cannabis dispensaries. the elder mission merchants and residents association had filed a third party d.r. they were the appellant last night, based on very similar grounds as a review in february. in particular, the urging was that the board of appeals apply a similar reasoning that it had used in a previous unrelated case based on your sense of the users. the board did you -- the notion of clustering. ultimately, based on being

nothing in the law to prevent clustering end of the case in question being factually different, the board had denied the appeal and the pull of the permanent, your approval of the dispensary -- did uphold the permit, your approval of the dispensary. >> you don't have to talk about them, but what were they? >> a small, old, but not historic cottage. a drm variance in september. that permit was upheld. finally, a permit to replace spiral rear stairs with non-spiral. >> thank you. with that, we can move onto the

last category for public comment. they may address to for items within your jurisdiction with the exception of agenda items. >> you all directed that there should be extensive public out reaching you may be pleased to know that the director did public outreach in the city attorney did public outrage. other than that, nobody knows anything. one of the owners nearby, she is very alarmed because she says everybody opposes it but nobody knows how to do anything because all they know is that there is a sign there. i saw it in the planning commission calendar, so i have been trying to lead the small

number of people i know know about it. my goodness, i did a petition of 150 people whenever it was. today, two people told me this. one woman said i am in the east now, but i did a petition and all of these people really oppose it. all of you, probably meaning well, directed negotiations. we want neighbors and developers to negotiate. i was disturbed. i was trained for community action many years ago and as the players said, you should have caught us in better days. we were purists then. we were taught that you empower a community, you don't speak for them, you don't put yourself forward for them, but not

everybody understands that. i happened to hear about it from a few people telling me how, why are you saying the twenty eighth? people are being led down the dark path of development, if they tweak, maybe the city attorney thinks that. people are very upset. we were told by public officials what the developer would do, turning the place until a homeless encampment and tell people beg him to build something and i believe that is probably true. he has supporters that say just build something because nothing can be done and it is a crime scene. for the most part, people are very upset, but how do they know? we are trying to get a meeting together right now. we have been denied access to

the files because the city attorney has them. i still don't have any response and i don't have a mailing list. how are we supposed to let people know what is happening so they can respond? we are trying to have a meeting and doing the best we can but it is difficult under there has beo the community where they know what is occurring. >> any other additional public comment? a reminder that we are closing the meeting in memory of r.c. owens. the meeting is adjourned.

>> city officials joined richmond residents for a groundbreaking ceremony. it was an exciting event for the neighbors ready for long overdue improvements. >> there is a need in this great city. they saw fit, they take care of it. >> the project is expected to open in spring 2013. for more on the

>> so thank you very much for coming to the second annual budget town hall. my name is david chiu, and i am honored to represent the district 3, which is the 10 any neighborhoods. i want to welcome all of you to this town hall. this town hall. i want to thank all of you for
