union street. i'm a resident of the neighborhood and professor: if you are going to request to have it pulled off consent that's all you need to do we'll pull it off and have it heard as the first item at the regular cal endar. any other public comments on the consent calendar? commissioner moore, were you interested in pulling off an item? >> i had asked staff to consider pulling 40 off and i think that concurred with you having received an e-mail. >> okay. let's do this, let's hear the 40th avenue item first and then the union street item 2nd on the regular calendar.

commissioner, so moved to move item 4 and 8. second. on a motion to approve items 3, 4, 8, commissioner, so moved. that motion passes unanimously 7-0 and places questions and matters. item 9 consideration of draft for march 14, 2013 and march 21, 2013. public comment on the 2 draft minutes if there is any? is

there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner moore? this is unfortunately the question of curiosity. is the title of these minutes, minutes or is it planning commission notice of meeting and calendar. that is a dumb question because i have review them for years but never paid attention to that particular aspect. >> these are the minutes. however the title has been that way since i have known them to be. we should certainly include, change the word draft for minutes once they are finalized. >> thank you. >> is there a motion to approve? commissioner borden? we need a second? >> second. >> thank you commissioners on a motion to approve draft minutes for march 14 and 23rd,

commissioners, aye, wu and fong. that passes unanimously 7-0 and places you on item 10. i wanted to thank the director and staff for this excellent report. although i have only glimpse at it. it looks very attractive and i look forward to reading it in more detail. second, for people who are interested in tracking code violations. there is a free app now which you can put on your cellphone which is u p 2 code. the website was launched monday and helps that you not just call 311 but key yourself where

the code violation s this was published on the examiner on april 4, unless it's a fools day joke i don't know. it is possible to do it this way. i will pass the printout out so you can follow it. mr. sanchez will be greatly alleviated to see this work. >> thank you, i was fortunate to be able to attend an event last night at pier 28. i thought it was very well done. it involved a panel discussion and brought together some members of the tech community, the small business owners association and it was also under the auspices of city.com and supervisor ferrel motion to dismiss moderated the group

and there was good information regarding small businesses in general and the city family and what can be done to move things more smoothly and help each other promote their businesses and everyone really liked it. in fact the event was quickly sold out once it was announced and i think they plan to do more in the future. i think it's really a step in the right direction. a lot of times issues we have are easily worked out when people talk to each other and sometimes there is not a lot of dialogue going on. i'm not saying any of these groups had any issues but it was a good forum to bring these issues and it's the beginning of hopefully that could be very productive for the ske. -- city. >> i wasn't going to bring this

up but might as well. i have been having some meetings with representative from japan town with respect to jhs, japanese community strategy. and i think one of the questions that has come up and this also directed to the city attorneys office is, in what form does the commission actually endorse or adopt or recognize or whatever the term is since this is not a traditional land use plan and more of an economic and community development strategy. so i think there was some questions as to what the commission and the historic preservation commission if applicable would take on the document itself. and i think

there were questions with respect to if it were recognized in some fashion and i don't know if that's the right word, what kind of policy implications would there be back on the planning commission when there were land use conditions to be made and how did us this document influence or form as the basis for decision making and that kind of question. so i just put that out there. i think maybe if staff and city of attorneys office can mull that over then we can have a meeting at some point. thank you. >> any additional comments? questions? okay. next item, please. >> commissioners that will place you under directors report item 11, directors announcements. >> thank you, good afternoon commissioners. i want to follow-up with your recent request for information. you asked about the 19th avenue

study' we sent a notice on that and i have more information on that. you have copies of the annual report. you asked about in light of fairly a lot of opposition on polk street to the mta's bike lane proposal. you asked us to follow-up with mta to see what their plans are. the short answer is they don't know that yet. they are looking at options and we'll get back to you to see how they are moving with that potential bike lane on that street. in the packet you will see drawings related to the idea of alternative if on interstate 280 that might involve the removal of that we have crafts -- drafts in your packet to see if the alternative rail would

be chosen in the future. you asked for the new facade. if you might recall, that project is not subject to the department or commissions approval. we don't have it on file. we have a new drawing and i have asked them to draft a short memo. as soon as we have that, we'll get that to you as well. lastly, i think that last week's packet you got the technical memo related to the eir for cpmc that explains how the eir that was done covers the proposed alternative. this week's packet for next week you have the packet that will initiate the plan and changes next week and the actual tentative date for the hearing on the project is may 16th. we'll get you the full packet the full 2 weeks in advance so

you have enough time for that. today you will get in your packet for next week the initiation packet for cpmc as well. then i want to follow-up on a public workshop last night on the castro urban design plan one of many that we are working on across the city funded by the 2011 bond issue t department is working on the department of public works for the castro and we have incredible turnout. we had 150 people again last night for this meeting looking at alternatives for the castro street i am improvements and including portions of state street as well and looking to finalize this next month. thank you for the bonds and we'll be able to complete that portion

within the next couple of years. >> thank you. any comments, questions. >> commissioners that will place you on item 12, review of board of supervisors, board of appeals. >> good afternoon, commissioners. there is three items. the first is the pourgs portion of supervisor chiu. this week the committee heard the component that dealt with expansion of the tdr's program and allowed to transfer to and from this district. this committee voted in favor of this part and did not recommend any modifications. the measure to prove this ordinance and recommended the board do so and
