sizing cathedral hill is simpler because it has fewer floors so it doesn't take as long to get through the process. we took a look at the scheduling processing and we called in to general hospital who is far with construction schedules for hospital and we determine in general -- we determined that cpmc would need one to two years extra to get saint luke open and that seem like a fair request. we took those liquidated damages that used to occur at the day after cathedral hill opened and started 10,000 a day and go up to 25,000 a day. so basically there's a two year period after cathedral hill opens that they can still -- they're not in violation or in default of the agreement as long as they get
4:01 pm
saint luke open no more than 24 months earlier. we want to get saint luke open and they have a different named call delay payment. bcpmc is required and has agreed under the contract if you adopt these changes to be responsible or liable to the city to 2,500 a day for the first month. so just to say it another way from when cathedral open, there's 12 months when nothing happen and another seven months where the delay payments kick in and the liquidated damages which is default of the agreement which is more expensive, so we added these to give a level of comfort and we would ask you to amend those into the da. that

4:04 pm
develop -- it's rebelieved through a development or various process. the staff made a decision to say it's better to incore rate it into text amendment rather than requiring one more entitlement. there's others proposed that was covered during the hearing last month and the revised project before you today eliminates the need for one of the planned amendment for the cathedral hill project and that's map four that was required under the previous project last year. moving onto conditional use of authorization that's before you today. at the saint luke campus, there's a building over 40 feet tall and the kwerments, both limitations, parking,

4:21 pm
there's a lot to like about that but we have concerns we say congratulate trust by verify. just reporting back to the you been public on the website or traffic studies every few years is not enough. we're asking inform a collaborative agreement to come up with a way to really monitor and verify. remember this thing isn't going to be finished for 5 to seven years. and as a result, the memory that we have now in the development agreement who knows what's going to happen all this time from now. we want to make sure that the good faith and good intentions of c pmc health are catered
4:22 pm
forward. we want to true but we look at the behavior of the other areas they haven't loopholes kept to their agreement. sadly when they acquired the psych unit there was a deal with the city attorney but they closed that unit that. this building as no psych beds. but the needs of the community this agreement needs to be verified we need a collaborative agreement >> thank you.
4:23 pm
>> thank you. next speaker, please >> i'm a resident of districts 5. we're very glad to see a 1 and 25 beds on the table, however, our psychiatrists are very, very concerned at the fact that those two buildings the hospitals will have zero psych beds. unfortunately contrary to the comments the patients the mental health patients is not the same population you're going to get in the psych unit at sf general. navigate we've he taken several of the planning commissioners here and had physicians explain to some of the commissioners on the board that the psych needs
4:24 pm
are very, very intense. the psych unit still goes on diversion 25 to thirty percent of the time. st. luke's was the overhead facility. we were at the conference and physicians from all around the world is shocked that this is being considered so we're stating for the record that we'll be following up in other meetings. our psychiatrists we have at least thirty psychiatrists and psychologists and mental health nursing put together a dan of
4:25 pm
the acute beds as well as medical and non-medical detox beds. so this is coming from the mental health professionals throughout northern california looking at the needs specifically for san francisco bay area. we have a statement of principles that's in line with those finding of the analysis. thank you >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners aim mark with the hart's economical incline. the - we've been involved for the last several years very actively in monitoring the
4:26 pm
proposal. i'd like to address the need for co- lateral agreement we sent a copy of the letter to the commissioners i have a hardcopy for the record and some extra copies for the staff. specifically we're looking for 3 things one is a strong monitoring program, the proposal that was put before you is not sufficient. we think we have to have a convenient. the seconds involves the future amendments to the changing world of health care. there will be merriments that will be material and not
4:27 pm
material but making the distinction is absolutely critical. for material changes there's a good process. for modifications that are not material even dmr under the agreement there's no a specific agreement to get notice of that change of an early enough time to get to staff. interesting and contrary to what mr. rich shouted the agreement on page 41 section 10.5 constitutes the provisions for reviewing non-material modifications and supercedes them. it's the last line in that
4:28 pm
provision doesn't seem to me own reading to provide any opportunity for pedicab interference when the planning director wants to make an amended change. that will lead to a dramatic change in the agreement. we support the current development agreement but we also think it's important that they not change and get erode over time when there's changes of personnel and we want to come up and have a discussion but we want to have a discussion - >> your time is up. >> i'd welcome me questions. >> let me call more names
4:29 pm

4:30 pm
director of planning in chapter 56 of the code in determining major and minor qualification. mr. riches & certification you would be involved if a comma is changed it's not sported in 10 section. indeed my reading of that section actually makes subsequent approvals far easier would no one's involvement. i think section 10.5 is going in the wrong go direction especially the amendments given to you by staff today. i
