12:18 pm
that i attended a meeting last night at temple baptist church and i thought that it was a very good meeting for the residents of lakeside village which is where i reside and it was a discussion for future planning for the m line which runs through lakeside and along 19th avenue which stops at san francisco state and circles back to balboa park station. they had some great input about great change of a line that goes under 19th avenue and that might allow pedestrians to travel under 19th without having to utilizing the station to get from one side to the other which is a great idea because it a very dangerous area. there are a lot of incidents every year with
12:19 pm
accidents involving pedestrians and by getting the munis and pedestrians off the street, it's going to calm the situation greatly there. anyway, it has a long way to go. it was a very good meeting and had over 1 hundred people in attendance. >> borden? >> yeah. i want to make everyone aware that they are on the mayor's transportation task force and they are hoping to come up with recommendations by october on how we can make our transportation structure world class and what's unique is all the different agencies including planning and development are planning department and looking at things like long range planning and development are existing infrastructure. you can find

12:21 pm
incorporate it into general plan adopted as policy or as another form. we are really somewhat variable depending on how the commission chooses to go and what type of review might be needed depending on the specification of that plan. it may not require an impact report. if it does, we don't know yet at this point. so as we get into more details of that plan we'll get back to you on more details on that as well. the other thing i wanted to mention is that i will be at the annual planning conference in chicago. i will be out of the office next thursday and campos will be in charge of my absence. the conference is in chicago where the apa office is located. the conference runs from saturday to wednesday of this year. and that concludes
12:22 pm
my report. thank you. >> just curious, at the conference are you speaking or presenting or anyone from the department speaking? >> there is a number of people speaking on various topics. i will be speaking on saturday where i'm part of a group of directors that helps to train new planning directors, folks who are newly installed as directors and that's something i have been doing for 3 or 4 years. it a very interesting session. >> next item, please? >> item 5. review of the past weeks of board of appeals. >> good afternoon, department staff here to give you your weekly report. this week at the committee, the majority of public comment and hearing was focused on supervisor wiener's local procedures. on march 14,
12:23 pm
and hpc considered the proposal on march 20th. both commission recommended two modification. no. 1, the appeal for all type of appeals be extended to 30 days and no. 2 that we provide clarity for the process where the board acts as decision body. he made the following amendments: first clarification about what the approval action would be and second requiring direct not only an adoptive survey but a recognized survey by the department. 3, limit the filing by a notice of exemption until after a period of appeal. and 4, when the sequel depending
12:24 pm
party. the sequel a response prior to the closing of that hearing and no. 5 extending the appeal to 30 days and when the board revise the i r, it maybe reviewed. at this weeks hearing the public raised the same issues. public comment was lengthy and divided neighborhood groups, environmental organizations and both in favor and some opposed to the proposal. there did seem to be concensus for rules of appeals should be codified and both supervisors kim and chiu were interested in increasing
12:25 pm
notification. our director committed to provide increased online notification for exemptions that would be searchable. supervisor kim notice it maybe fact reduced to allow appeals until the last approval instead of the first approval which is essentially the situation that we have. supervisor kim announced she plans to introduce an alternative proposal and after this commission continued this issue to be heard on april 2nd. there was a minor alcohol and tobacco control. last week since your hearing supervisor
12:26 pm
chiu did recommend all modifications and this week they did approve the final modification. they considered supervisor chiu's portion of the northeast ordinance that was before the board this week which is merely the expansion of the program to allow tdr's to be transferred to all districts in the area and voted to approve this portion of the ordinance back this appeal is the project is before the dr is to construct a 3 story vertical edition in addition to a 2 story home. they had 3 main concerns. first the project
12:27 pm
would have a significant impact of historic resources and impact to public views and 3rd the dr action is inconsistent with the planning commissions intent required to the front yard setback. during the dr hearing which is before, the planning commission recommended a total of 3 feet for a total of 5 feet from the wall which will allow greater visibility of the adjacent building. the opponent argued it's offset impact to the historic resource building. if this were in fact a mitigation to avoid a significant impact, you could not be sent to the final review. a design concern to increase street visibility of a building feature on the adjacent properties and as such this
12:28 pm
change was a condition of approval for the building permit and not a sequel mitigation. given there is no increase impact to the environment with these changes, it should not be considered mitigation measures to the project. staff also discuss with the board that the overall height of the building would remain shorter than the buildings. and are not designated vista and ocean views would not be blocked by the projected addition. concerns related to the commissions an approved motion and intent do not substitute nullifying the original. there is a hearing before the board of appeals which is the appropriate body to address the concerns does it match the
12:29 pm
revised conditions and that's been set for may 8th. while supervisor wiener he agreed with the decision and analysis of the department and the board voted unanimously to uphold it. also adopted on final reading this week where the market street mason historic district for the alcohol restricted use district. most notably as i mentioned earlier for new introductions this week supervisor kim did introduce an alternative ordinance that would amend chapter 31 of our administrative code. we'll bring this item to hearing in both you and historic preservation commission as quickly as possible. our intent is to public our report next thursday to allow us to bring this item before the commission at your next hearings which will be your hearing on
