she was in town a year ago. and that was our basis for pavement to park program that andre is in charge at this point. we do have five of those now in place. they've been a huge success in many ways, some more than others. and we are now working on very modest ones that are essentially taking a few parking spaces and commercial spaces for tables and chairs that the public can use. and that was quite successful and quite attractive. if you haven't seen the one on divisitero. so andres should be credited for that. staff has been in charge of painting of pavements and planting of plants. it's been a wonderful staff and team building effort at the

same time. >> good afternoon, emily rogers planning dcht staff to give you your weekly report on activities as they pertain to planning and land use. this week we have three items. the first was an ordinance that would amend the castro street n.c.d. this would enable the permitting of restaurants of both large and small self-service by conditional use authorization. it would also permit special food accomplishments as a right and would delete a division that would allow certain establishments on one parcel. you heard this item on june 17. and unanimously recommended approval. this week at the committee there were comments on opposition. there was also a couple of informational hearings. the first was on the partner set project. as you know, it is an existing

residential neighborhood with about 3,000 units adjacent to lake merced. it's a mixed use development program to replan and redesign the sight. the project would increase residential density, modify transit facilities and improve utilities in the area. about 1700 of the existing units would be maintained in exists towers and over a period of 15 years the remaining 1500 units would be demolished and fully replaced. an additional 5700 new units would be added bringing the total to about 8900. the planning director summarized the project. michael yarnie gave an overview and the development agreement. peter discussed the n.t.a.'s role. and our staff manager provided information on the development

of design guidelines for the puck blick realm, urban form and the development. commissioners we expect to hold a certification hearing on the e.i.r. and bring a development report to you this fall. no action was taken. the other hearing was on the academy of heart. this was a request that maxwell and mars -- from maxwell and mars. we described the completion of all 37 problems of a.a.u. we discussed the successful removal of 35 signs and we described how all the outstanding information for transportation has been submitted enabe ling our department to produce a project description and we expect to

publish notice of preparation and a scoping meeting by october of this year. again that tie temperature was informational so there was no action taken. -- again that item was informational so there was no action taken. we could have at least two hearings on the impact in response so this resolution, i'd like to share with you this let every that came from our chief environmental review officer bill whiteco. it was also your request that public comment be extended. and the department is also offering to produce a guide to the cpnc to help the product understand a very large document. so the board was pleased with that response and in turn, they tabled this item instead of sending it to committee as had been planned.

many people mentioned that the 12 ordinances was finally approved, enabe ling over 3,000 units -- enage 3,000 units and possibly a new waterfront stadium. this was the final passage. this week there were several planning and land use ordinances that were introduced. so i expect that they will be before you within 90 days. the first introduced by mercurini. it would create ground floor controls for industrial districts and allow small corridor uses in some districts as well as some other modifications and you'll have this before you in 90 days. supercampos introduced a planning code adding sections.

this master plan should identify the needs for health care services in san francisco. it would recommend how to achieve and maintain appropriate destruction of this facilities. the ordinance would require -- after this health service master plan is adopted then it would require that we find any land use application for a new health care facility with the health service master plan. so this is kind of a complicated, involved ajoint hearing but between the health commission and the planning commission and we will go over there this in detail in the coming months. supervisor duffy introduced an amendment to create temporary uses and clarify that these mobile food facilities cannot be conducted within buildings.

supermaxwell introduced the resolution urging the planning department and the redevelopment agency to establish specific pro owe col -- protocols for corporation with native american groups in candlestick and the hunter's point shipyard. and the mayor introduced the ordinance that would amend the building code. this is re latelated to the feed the furrow blegs. this is a technical knowledge policy challenge for calculating the fee rate when somebody chooses to defer an impact fee. and certain clarifications about when a project sponsor may choose to defer. last ordinance i wanted to describe that was introduced is a couple -- it's involving the affordable housing legislation. this is changes to the interim

control that is in place now as well as parallel changes for the permanent control so that the controls will not be before you but the permanent controls will. lastly not yet -- an ordinance that was introduced is a request that the city attorney draft an amendment to the administrative code that would require that any department that produces for distribution a memo or a report that's more than 10 pages in length should distribute that copy electronicly. and that paper should only be a request. they said it was primarily targeted towards e.i.r.'s and reducing the amount of paper for e.i.r.'s distribute odd the board of supervisors. however they consider any tran my talls between us would be within the department and not subject to this proposal

ordinance. so publicly produce materials for the board and not for the commission. that concludes my report unless there's any questions. president miguel: commissioner olague. commissioner olague: when the detail of the developers agreed, you said you would come back regarding partner said. >> partner said in the fall, yes. commissioner olague: and i was wondering if they addressed the lots of rent control housing and how that might be -- did that come up at all. i don't want to engage in a consideration -- >> it did come up and they're preserving the present control units. president miguel: yeah, i think that's basically correct. but the details have still yet to be worked out. but they have committed to controlling the units. commissioner olague: so that obviously just pertaining to the draft e.i.r. they wanted us to have two hearings? >> in fact, they withdrew that

request after we responded with the affirmative. and we would be producing additional documents to help people understand that large document. they seemed sithes satisfied with that and tabled that request. commissioner olague: so we're having a hearing here and i forget the date, the final date for the ctmc comment. >> september 23. commissioner olague: that's the hearing date. is that also the date of the end of the comment period? [inaudible] commissioner olague: at the end of the september? it doesn't look like we're going to have two hearings, then? >> [inaudible] commissioner olague: so they didn't make any comment to them. i brought this up before but when i met with them, they were very insistent that we would hear the project before the end

of 2010. i want so guarantees that won't happen. i don't know how staff or even members of the public or this commission can be expected to turn it around before the end of this year. i'd like some staff to check in and make sure that, you know, that that's something that's going to be considered -- taken seriously by that project sponsor because when i talk to them, -- they -- they dismissed what i said. and we're pretty insistent that we'd hear it before the end of this year. president miguel: our schedule is not thears. commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: a couple of questions. i would assume that a lot of land use requests would be

before us. if there are some that would not i certainly would like to see if we could have some sort of hearing to hear them because they sound fairly significant. >> all the items will be scheduled for you. the item that's in interim control, that does not come before the planning commission. but the ones related to affordable housing will. the only item that i do not want -- will not have before you is the items code. >> i think there was one that was administrative. >> that one hasn't been introduced yet. commissioner antonini: and the other item, and we'll be hearing this, there was something brought up about the frontages of residential properties. i'm not sure what that relates to. >> i've not seen that

ordinance. commissioner antonini: i guess we'll see it when it comes. president miguel: commissioner olague. commissioner olague: at some point, we can introduce amendments as a commissioner. we can add a later date. but i would like to understand that better because, you know, it would be nice to introduce a legislation at some point. >> we can get you information about that. commissioner olague: ok. >> commissioner -- is the commissioner here -- >> [inaudible] >> ok. thank you historic preservation commission did meet yesterday. it was a pretty short calendar, but just briefly, they did have the amendment various sections of the planning code which

would include article 7-eleven. it's on your calendar. i want to say that the commission did have a discussion for over an hour and they continued it for two weeks. but again miss sullivan will go into that with you. they did have some environmental impact reports before them. they believe that both of those the one with 800 presidio, they felt it was adequate for sequa standards. and didn't feel the need to write a let tore the e.i.o. for that. the interesting thing about that one is that they felt that the -- they wanted some more information on the original architects for that building. and they believe that the original architect might have been an sfrim of little known -- and -- african-american of

little known -- and they wanted more information but nothing that would substance wait a litter. they also had the deir for buena island. however, they did express a desire to save the gun. they believe that the gun on treasure island -- well, they just believe the history for world war ii and the significance of the island would be lost or -- there needs to be some sort of documentation to preserve that history. there also was a concern that any building not obscure building one that's on the island. and with that, that completes my report for the h.p.c. president miguel: thank you. >> commissioners you are now at general public comment and at this time members of the public may address you on items of

interest to the public that are within your subject matter, jurisdiction with the exception of the agenda items which may not be addressed during the category. however, each member of the public may address you for up to three minutes keeping in mind that this category has a 15-minute time limit. i do have speaker cards. president miguel: thank you. this section is on nonagenda items that are within the jurisdiction of the commission. jim salinas, russ sturjouse, johnny chacon, and rolando deso. ok. >> president miguel, commissioner, i'm jim salinas, born and raised in the mission district, life-long resident of

the city and county of san francisco. i'm here this afternoon on behalf of the 4,000 men and women that make carpenter's local 22. as you all know on occasion you'll have a city of elected officials, someone like the mayor point out and call to a san franciscan and ask that they serve on these commissions . and when they do, they serve as a volunteer citizen with huge responsibilities. and in the beginning it can be very overwhelming and easy to get lost in. but on rare occasions there are people that can sit down in these appointed seats and hit the ground running and more importantly think outside the box and in this particular case when we're talking about the planning commission it's not only about the general plan and planning code. it's about san franciscans. it's about serving.

i wanted to thank billie. you've served with distinction. you've put hundreds and hundreds members of our organization to work, more importantly, you've put thousands of construction workers to work. god forbid, with a seismic event, we may need to start over. from the bottom of our heart, we are profusely indebted to you. thank you for serving with distinction on this commission. thank you, commissioners. president miguel: thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is russ sturjouse. i've been a member of the carpenter's union for 41 years, 39 inactive, 25 of them as a

contracting member and i was active with the residential building association also. i'm a resident of the subsidy of san francisco. i live in the richmond district. i just like to comment that commissioner lee has been very good at putting people to work. when he puts construction workers to work, three to five other people go to work in office occupations, factories, transportation, other things like that. at this time in our city and our country putting people to work is a very key part of what everybody in government service needs to do. and i would ask you to use whatever influence you have to keep commissioner lee retained in the office that he now holds and has now helped so well for so long. thank you very much. president miguel: thank you.

>> good afternoon. my name is johnny scinoni. i was born and raised in san francisco. still pay taxes of various stripes. and i was invited here today as a member of the carpenter's union local number 22 to commend, honor, acknowledge the legendary and ex-exemplary noteworthy and distinguished work by mr. william lee a member of your planning commission. the most important accolade is to acknowledge his wise service to this city in terms of planning because oftentimes this planning will have an impact for decades. and people like mr. lee should be commended and they should be

held on to for as long as possibly in order for the city to make good, sound progress. and at the same time, for the record, i'd like to bring to your attention for future consideration as a member of the planning commission mr. jim salinas who's been a long time business representative for the carpenter's union local 22 in san francisco, native of san francisco, quite familiar with the lay of the land and well aware of the needs of the people, the citizenry of the city and county of san francisco. thank you very much for your time and attention. president miguel: thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm orlando dusue wave. i'm a local 22 carpenter's

union member. i'm a san francisco. i'm here to thank mr. lee. i hope that everyone could be encouraged by his support for labor because labor is very important, having people work in san francisco. san francisco residents, it's very important. there's a lot of work going on. there's not a lot of san franciscans doing it but when you have more work there's more opportunity for san francisco people to work. like some of the commissioners have said, it does look beautiful out here. and we know there's a change coming and there's a change happening. as long as we keep building and it will keep looking more and more beautiful. people will appreciate the city more and it will bring more revenue, more tax revenue.

thank you. and i appreciate mr. william, commissioner william lee. and i hope everybody could be influenced by his good work. thank you very much. president miguel: thank you. miguel gomez, leo -- can't quite make out the last name. >> good commissioners. my name is miguel gomez and i am a local 22 member for 22 years but i also come here today to thank commissioner lee for his service here to the city. without you, i mean, i bought my house, you know because i was able to come out, you know, from -- i mean, there's a lot of people that are unemployed right now due to being a

minority, you know, i was lucky to buy a house there. 's not too many people. we've got to retrain the youth and put them out there to work. with commissioner billie, he's done a lot for me to be able to buy a house. and there's a lot of people that are thankful for you. thank you. president miguel: thank you. leo, are you there? >> the microphone right there. >> keep us work. i'm a local 22 carpenter. i hope the city and county can give more work for local 22 because we san francisco residents. so we hope can get more work

and san francisco county also. we want more work. thank you. president miguel: thank you. is there any additional public comment on items not on the agenda? >> [inaudible] >> i reside at 77 poof ier. and i was one of the d.a. requesters. we have thanks to our attorney steve williams, williams signed a successful agreement with the owners of the property. but i'm here to speak in strong defense of the d.r. process itself because without it we would have had no recourse. and these were matters which deeply affected us and our

neighbors, one of which was that the presence of our 40-foot tall avocado three was completely invisible until i called in early march to notify them that the project as it had been aproved would kill our tree because the roots and part of the canopy projected over the property owner's line and they wanted to build through the fence. that having been said, i'd also like to say that i think there are a few simple changes which might be made which will dramatically reduce the d.r. process, one of which is we have no -- we saw no finished plans in our neighborhood until we received the plans that had been approved by planning on march 1. and at that point we were told, no, those were the wrong plans and we've got another set on march 5. we then had 25 days to examine these plans and that was not

enough time. and there is no process in place for extending the d.r. review process. if planning had put a sign up on -- on the fence in front of the lot informing us that there were plans being reviewed -- we didn't even get the name of the planner until early march. so i understand that you've raised the fees and to us that's kind of a moot point because it's cost several thousands dollars in attorney's fees to what we feel we've reached an quitable conclusion. this house is going to be approximately 10 to 12 feet taller than the house it replaced which was burned in a pg & e fire in which our house was heavily damaged in february 2009. and our neighbors to the east

and west, one of whom had been born in that neighborhood and from the time she was a child had watched the sun come up in the morning was going to completely lose that because of the size of this building. the neighbor to the rear had nine fruit trees all of which were going to be impacted with the lack of afternoon sun. we feel there were corridors that were not addressed especially because of the windows that was in the back of this house which would act -- especially at night if all those lights came on would seriously impact privacy and the environment of the neighborhood.ivacy and the environment of the neighborhood, which is a baufl neighborhood of 12 adjacent backyards. that is all i have to say, but i will answer any questions. i imagine some of you had v had

time to look at the voluminous correspondence, some of which i wrote, about this project. president miguel thank you. is there additional public comment on items that are not on the agenda? if not, general public comment is closed. >> thank you, commissioners. the consent item 3 has moved to the consent agenda. and for 1423 post street. >> good afternoon, president miguel and commissioners. this is a conditional use request for a full service restaurant to occupy a commercial space previously occupied by he
