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 think the way we solve this

problem is to accept the coalitions amendments in the period of the terms of the co- lateral agreement limited to changes in this document. i'm sorry 10.5 doesn't do what mr. rich says it does and it seems contradictory to the amendments we support given a robust public hearing on reports. it's in the report that's the issue it's the change in this merriment >> hello, i'm with the neighborhood coalition. i want to speak in favor of the

co- lateral agreement. i'm going to speak on transportation. i can't illness an area like this would be more important than transportation. we can see that the project sponsor has produced a lot of new enhancements to the proposal and survey and n defining and reviewing traffic impacts around cathedral health. we talked about changed in the agreement but the changes certify the eir today is there's a new t d m plan and it's very different has different goals than when a was approved by the

board. that goal what to reduce the single trips by 50 percent to reduce 15 percent is a different proposal. we haven't had a change the analyze it. the other thing about this document which is southerner is there's no hard facts to create those baseline figures. it's easy to see how many folks are taking the transit when your giving them a check each month. this proposal says the baseline figures are based on a survey of the employees so when they claim

16 percent are taking public transit that's not really a valid figure to add 15 percent it doesn't include the 50 percent of car trips. i want to emphasis this is why many community members want to be directly involved with provisions of that crack >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is paul. i guess i can give you a heads up you're going to see me for the next round as well. i do want to take to the traffic issues. i've been involved as i say with the pacific campus activities

and i realize that none of the pc p folks were involved at this time. we see folks in the neighborhood and we have some experience on what works and doesn't work. my certain is notes the big traffic issue it's the more tact california operation issues that cause problems. for instance, i have this up yesterday. yesterday you see at the top here in the white zone a the top of a semi that's using the whites on the passenger zone for loading and unloading services.

as a result, the taxi you see is stopped at the stop sign. the taxi pulls away and next you see this patient van to let its people out. this is 3 to 5 minutes it happens over drivers get frustrated and drive balanced. i come from a tapgs background management walks around and says what's happening and so-called things change. and after management has looked things revert back to normal this happens in budgetary issues. it happens here. we've had wonderful scuzz when

we've raised came in. it lasts for 5 months. we want to make sure we can do more than a one time audit. this makes life for pedestrians it increases the risk of traffic accident and they need to be addressed more often. thank you >> good afternoon, commissioners. from california nursing association. i'm also here from the coalition san franciscans and speaking in support of the amendment. that we've brought to you around the co- lateral agreement.

we excited about the improvements and the community benefits that have been negotiated our result of community involvements is the benefit from this. so, you know, that is the spirit in which we believe this is an important agreement to have because we as a coalition bring a high he level of expertise and the city brings a level but not the same as being for example, a front line nurse. and the dp had is an excellent

unit. you know, there not the relationships and the tenderloin with clinics there to make sure that the 15 hundred lives in the tenderloin receive those services and how are those connections going to be challenged and those lives have access to the services not only at st. luke's but cathedral hill. we want community input and it's an important part of planning, you know, and that's not just about getting a report but being

involved in the planning and being involved in the decision and the mixed meeting we don't know what they're going to look like. and another example on workforce if you look at the subsection we have that subsection says if they hire 40 per year for so many years they've met their obliteration obligation >> (calling names)

>> looks like age before beauty. can we have the overhead you've all received copies of our hand out. notwithstanding the program like st. luke's there's two substantial flaws like sequa

. that needs to be done for the official approval of the development agreement either that pipeline exists or it doesn't it has to be mitigated. secondly there's a lack of enforcement. only for the city attorney may sue the only real enforcement that's available to you is trust equity. that's ownership of the land. the other entitlements maybe the agreement of consider for the city that would produce the rate and the urban development krorms.

it's done in new york city. those are 3 aspects we submit those in detail they're not a part of your records. i have substantial background as planning director >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please >> hi i'm linda i have been at st. luke's hospital and on frontline of health care there. i see there are many needs in our community that are not being met presently. it concerns me. i agree with everyone there needs forbid a collaborative

agreement and it's important we have a say of what kind of care we're going to provide at st. luke's. we have a lot of psych patients coming in and we see them come and go with basically, no services after they leave us. but there's also a certain about some sub acute are the patients who are ventilator dependent. many of them maybeable be equivalent to go home.

we have a sub acute but there are a total of assess of services in san francisco. the pacific and davis gnaws at that particular time those patients to our icu. the nearest comfortable sources are in distant city's and that's not okay, but the community around us needs to have some say. we want a full hospital at st. luke's we are not talking about health care.

i have a couple of things from other speakers who were not able to be here today >> thank you. after the next speaker michael (calling names) >> linda chapman i'll speak for others when with he had an architect on our board they were helping staff to do a better job than this. i think it's great we're next to the alternate 3 a but as i recall it doesn't propose to the hospital when cut back half size would be one hundred feet over

the height why can't it be closer to the 1 hundred and thirty heights thirty height. e they want to preserve height and encourage heights that are defined by the exist buildings. not having something up over one hundred feet they tried to stop that. additionally the parking is only 18 percent less and that induced more traffic. the mta verified that the existing parking in the parking garage it's 25 percentage under utilized. the subway is one the long-term

objectives and the pedestrian interferes with. >> i know the commissioner asked a question but the city infrastructure includes an intent to create a light rail line along the waterfront that and it would provided vehicular traffic. the 2 most important boulevard after market and it carries all the 101 traffic in conflict with that. i would suggest that you look at why is this business about cv d other than the polk neighbors. not in any document that went

before that organizations. those are the people who promoted what you call the lovely street art we're concerned about the pot businesses to a degree i mean, they get approval there and the bars. is that what we need they can have more money and promote all of that. if they actually succeed in putting this in? >> thank you. >> good afternoon. commissioners i'm steve i've a registered nurse. our be patients come in n open jur in the cause. so can't lift a figure yes, we see medical migraines but those

miracles don't happen on their own. four years ago we moved into a world-class facility. yes miracles can happen but only with world-class facilities. the issues can be debated forever. those opportunities will pass us by. san francisco needs world-class facilities across the city without delay. thank you >> thank you. >> good afternoon commissioners i'm here to offer any enthusiastic support for the st. luke's hospital. i currently - i had the

privilege of practicing arts in boston longing and 17 years in san francisco and all 3 places i worked on public ground and urban projects supported by agricultural. the project is a kneeling design for upper design. this revitalizes the dormant area and setting up the promise for the chavez project. the outdoor rooms will promote community interaction and the

proposal is sensitive to and places building masses where they belong. in addition the public functions are well placed to enlighten the rooms. those achievement are wonderful this balances the complex functionality. so the st. luke's hospital seems appropriately sized and in support of the general is state of the arc facility will improve health care for san franciscans by dedicated professionals. i say the city will benefit

greatly. thank you >> thank you. >> good afternoon michael from the electrical workers 6. i want to congratulate the supervisors and for all the work they did to develop a plan that is really the best for the city. this has been going on for a long to depreciate a hospital. we have members working so update the other hospitals throughout the city and we need to move this hospital for a larger plan i ask you to take action today and move this forward

>> come up i'll call a few more names (calling names) >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm state and federal with the local 6. we believe that the revisions have been made st. luke's has been increased and enhanced the cathedral hill has been reduced and the traffic issues have been addressed. we think it's time to start the project so we urge the commission to please pass this project and move it forward. thank you

responses plan we need to keep people in town in support of the long term recovery. i'm proud to say that san francisco is becoming resistant. and mayor resistant safety improvement program are working to stash a program that means quick recovery. san francisco needs it's hospitals to be, if you knowable. as you know a major kwaerth today will leave san francisco with few beds. and we need all our hospitals. when the next he earthquake
