all worlds we said have started with the real soul searching of what the criteria should be. i listened 2012 discussion we had about two dispenries where we had 6 criteria that applied to the mc ds none of which applies here. it leaves me somewhat be reflecting on one of the applicants suggestion we should have restriksdz he listed a number to spell them out. we didn't discuss p them i saw the legislator for the first time. so i'm upper southern of what to do

>> please. a couple of of things the zoning administrator was listening so, in fact, the separated space that would be left could accommodate a restaurant so to have the recommendations prepared by the end of the year to that would come up in early 2014 and then the legislation could be introduced early next year. >> that clarifies my question. i'm glad you can have it in the building and not just in the premises. thanks >> although i'll point out that

dozens of restaurants in the area don't serve alcohol. most the places are small like a 1 square feet and they don't have booze. and others and so i don't think it's necessary although i might going go to the irish bank but i want to add a condition they have a liaison person available with a local number or contract number. i think in terms of some of the suggestions that were made by one person who testified who gave his a list. some of them have long been established. for example, one said we should

define it to be an eating and drinking place and we can't do that because they only allow uses on the ground floor and we can't restrict it to a particular use under the code. let's see i think this would require another hearing so far as donating money that's not within our control and the signage is going to be handled through a separate permit to alter. i don't know about complaint if they complain they can call the police. i'll second our taking the dr

with the modifications. i think this is somewhat an analogy there were a lot of conditions involving lcds but the result would not be available until next year so continue it to let the businesses in the area put together a condition list and we'll have a little bit of a better idea where the board s is moving and this maybe compliant anyway but we need to see the decisions >> i'll make a motion to

continue it in november. >> give me a date in november. >> commissioners november is fairly wide open you have the 7th, fourteenth and 20th. >> i'll go 14th. >> my only concern is we might not have recommendations in november. >> we don't want to put them out into january but we could have it continued in november if something is getting closer to finishing and we might get more information from the owners. >> commissioners the motion of continuous takes precedent over the decision on the floor.

>> as i recall the issues we wanted to discuss was a recommending to clustering and b whether or not the definition of a thousand feet related to a school those were what i recall where the substance issues and whether or not it's appropriate and if this should change but obviously neither of those issues are at stake there's no clustering are school or education or remotely you'll define them there's a problem. not too long ago we approved a franchise like this and that's locally. so that was actually directly front the street.

so i think with this being discre discreetly i feel absolutely comfortable today discussing this case. if there's other issues to interject we can talk about those but based on what i recall this case is relevant to that >> commissioner moore. >> i have a fleet memory that we also talked about the face of the establishment as the - it faced the street is the security of the shutters or is it ntd more pedestrian friendly green facades that allows the security into the building without making

it look like a fortress. so is it in our face or tightened in the backroom and more security and cameras and security guards. i don't know but those are some of the issues that came up because the negative influence of non-street facing friendly retail facade has a negative effect on the areas. but those were also some of the challenges that supervisor avalos proposed to us >> and also in response to the testimony we've heard from every business owner on that block i would expect if we grant an

continuous we'd like hear from others and i think it's important to look at the community sport and from what i can tell most of the community is opposed to this option. >> most people were at the momently opposed to this and we flew in the face of that opposition and the board of appeals did not. >> okay call the question on the continuous. >> there's a motion and that's on november 14th. (calling names) >> that motion fails commissioners and we can go back to the previous motion that was

open the floor and seconded. with conditions as stated by commissioner including the liaison condition. should i read that question. on that (calling names) so moved commissioners that motion passed commissioners we can move into the final matter important public comment i have no speaker cards >> seeing none, the meeting is

year for the ground break of the new station. as you look around here today you can see that we've come a long way since august of 2010. since that time we demolished the old terminal and recycled the materials to build it. we excavated down to street level and we kept the traffic moving and a breaking system and we relocated all utilities and reinstalled the piping system to use the natural earth's temperature. we put down steel. so far in the process we are removing about 6,000 cubic yards of mud and clay. in fact, today as a tone of our

appreciation to our speakers we are going to give old clay deposited from the last ice age about a hundred thousand years ago. they were collected in 2013 and from about a hundred feet below the station. today's concrete pour for the foundation transit center is exciting because the foundation is going to be the first permanent structure of this project. the entire rail level in total we are pouring 142 ,000 yards of concrete which is the equivalent of 32 olympic size pools. we couldn't thank the men and women who work on this daily, the management, construction, our funders and government agencies and of course the public. reaching this point would not have been possible without the federal funds from the american

recovery and reinvestment act. funds that have put thousands of people to work in construction reich -- right here in san francisco. thanks to the recovery investment act funding which we received $400 million from. this is the result of the hard work of the dedication of our congressional delegation all led by house democratic leader nancy pelosi. leader pelosi is a national treasure and we are so honored to have her here today. i can't tell you how appreciative we are leader pelosi. house democratic leader pelosi. >> thank you very much, maria for your kind words of introduction for your exceptional leadership. when we

gathered here 3 years ago we sang your praises as an operational person to get the job done and here we are. it's an honor to be here with you mr. mayor and thank you for your leadership, not only on this project, but everything that surrounds it. supervisor kim, thank you for your leadership as a transbay joint powers authority chair as well as a member of our board of supervisors. michael from the building and construction traits council, of course none of this would be possible without the building trade. your leadership has been essential to our success. thank you for that. and as i acknowledge leaders who are here tim, a know that willie brown and gary newson would be proud.

i know it's been a catalyst to bring this together whether it's about enabling this to go forward or tax policy or enabling on construction and attracting other businesses here. ed lee, thank you for your leadership, mayor lee. as i acknowledge the dignity reese who are here, i want to thank our president break barack obama. he's helped with many other projects in the city. i hope he can visit soon so he can see the fruit of the

american recovery and reinvestment act. when we arrived maria was telling us that one of the, there was evidence when the construction began as ships arriving in san francisco at the time of the gold rush. at that time, people came here, rushed here with their hopes and aspirations and their dreams to make a better life. that tradition is continued today as we go forward with this project. it is in the tradition of san francisco to be about what is new, to be about innovation, to be about commerce, to be about jobs for families in our city. in that regard, as the cement is poured today, tradition of leadership continues. as we pour the concrete for the first part of the new transbay center we are

laying the foundation for the future of the transit development in the area. by our actions today we are setting the corner stone for the new grand central station of the west. we are staying [ applause ] we are staying on track to connect cities and communities throughout the region and across the state. scott, i notice is here. thank you, scott, for your leadership. we are opening the doors to public transit options reducing congestion on our roads. and with every pouring of concrete, we building the transit center for jobs and housing and retail organizations. all what john

said it would be. that's john burton for his leadership on this subject. i mentioned it would be the grand central station of the west. why? this center will be a place where people can board high speed rail trains as part of california's high speed rail system. it will bring consumers to our city, to our system that is better, faster and cheaper. once the entrance bay transit center is complete, it will bring 11 transit systems together under one roof, meaning more convenience for commuters and more efficiency for workers and more growth for our city. today our action serves as a marker for the entire city. leaders in businesses are behind the transbay center. that's why i'm so proud that the recovery act

had $400 million for the transbay center in it. that doesn't count for the central subway, all of the other transportation issues. as i always say to the workers, who make all of this possible as we thank you. our hopes are riding on you because you make all of this possible. so let us again salute the men and women in hard hats who make this all possible for us. [ applause ] standing together, these leaders are keeping san francisco at the forefront of good jobs. prevailing wage, good paying jobs and growing economy and thriving middle class, keeping families in san francisco working together as the men and women pouring concrete today and the laborers continuing the work in weeks and months to come will keep

this city in the cutting edge of progress. thank you all, each one of you who is here for your leadership, thank you to our workers for this partnership, for this commitment to the transbay transit center. i can't wait to tell the president about this exciting occasion and for him to visit for him to see himself how working together we are advancing the aspiration of the people of san francisco and the entire bay area. i thank all of you starting with the mayor for your role in this. thank you so much. [ applause ] thank you so much leader pelosi for all you have done inform this project and all you do for this country. in 1998 when this project was a dream. the first seed money we received was from leader

pelosi. leader pelosi back then believed in the project and that had vision and saw the project when no one else did. thanks for the seed money of $10 million that helps us to be where we are today. thank you so much, leader. our next speaker deserves all the praise from san francisco. from the water and infrastructure in the sierra nevada mountains, mayor lee, knows a lot about infrastructure. he has been essential and continues to be vital to the entrance bay project. he's been a supporter from the different public works and a leader and administrator. i'm very thankful. we would not be here without your support as well. the center adopted the

transit plan. it will also provide crucial financing for the transbay project. with that, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our mayor, mayor lee. [ applause ] >> thank you, maria and let me also repeat what leader pelosi has already done and well so that your leadership from day one when mayor brown had made you the center of getting this done. i would like to say i want that reputation of getting things done, but you got that reputation from this project going forward. thank you very much for your leadership. [ applause ] hello, everybody. thank you for being here today. it's another important milestone in our transbay center for our city.

yes, earlier this week i joined the meeting for the infrastructure and making sure that our water and power infrastructures were assessment -- safe. it comes back as leader pelosi voices again and again, transportation infrastructure, if built well will also attract workers, housing and make our cities great. that's why an hall said, we know this to be true. that's why we spent a lot of time figuring things out on the planning side. i would like to say thanks to john for the contribution as well along with

mary and supervisors kim and others, not only did we use the monies as opportunities to begin this and get workers back on track on getting good jobs, but we also figured out for the five other buildings with tax increment financing so our general fund would not be burdened with additional taxes for the streets. in fact we are standing on trestles right now that are built temporarily. you just came across a bridge in order to get this project going, in order to have the machinery to stand next to the construction site. as maria said very clearly. we have the water penetration controls because this is right at the edge of the historic water. so we have to do all of these things to plan well. i want to say thank you to president

obama, leader pelosi, the entire delegation because they have been very sensitive to our vision and they in fact embraced the vision and we've become models for the rest of the country to use the infrastructure and recover from the economy and attract investments. that's the way the city has to work this way. they must work this way. this is going to be the future and it's the grand central for many many reasons. this transit center will become a critical anchor for economic development and jobs. after the thousands of jobs that the construction workers will have, there will be 27,000 permanent jobs attached to this transbay transit center on going, sustd.
