on both counts. this is in my mind an excellent job of putting together two land use situations for two different city departments. that basically serve the same public. and bringing them together in a manner that hasn't always been done. many times, the libraries have dried to work on land use with school departments, some have been successful, not necessarily so, sometimes the cooperation between the city departments has not been what the citizens would really like to see, the collaborative effort here is greatly to be commended. and although i know rec and park does not have their full funding as yet, hopefully this will be an impetus. >> commissioner sugaya.

>> commission -- commissioner sugaya: under the introductory language, it says that we'll be changing it from neighborhood commercial etc., and it goes on to say, for p., public, and o.s., open space, for the new north beach public library. is it customary to mention a specific use? or would it be better to have it say, change to p. and o.s. for public use. rather than mentioning the library specifically? >> john mallman from the city attorney's office, that's actually just a finding for the support in the change in legislation so the actual zoning map doesn't say we're doing that, that this is done for the

north beach library and in fact, the finding is clear it would be for a new public library or other public use. so it's sort of an expansive observation of what kinds of uses zoning can support on this site. >> following that argument, then, can we reword the resolution on -- if i can figure out what section we're in. vacation. it says for purpose of the north beach public library and joe dimaggio master plan, can we add other public use in there? >> john mallman from the city attorney's office. technically, the street vacation legislation is not before the planning commission. you play a role in that you are

getting the general plan clearance to allow the vacation to go forward. i'm sure that we could work something out with the legislative sponsors so sort of expand that finding in the street vacation legislation so it's similar to defining it in the zoning legislation. >> that would be -- i would be more comfortable, if you could keep north beach public library in there, but following the argument for the zoning change where you have wording that says or other public use would seem appropriate to me. i'm just throwing it out there as a suggestion. we don't have a motion yet. >> i don't understand the reason that your question -- commissioner sugaya: because it's a specifically targetted use and i'm uncomfortable, if

this zoning is to last forever what if the library gets demolished in 50 years like the prevent one. >> commissioner fong. >> wit, i'm not done. -- wait, i'm not done. on the interpretive display for mitigation monitoring, it says library, rec park shall approve a permanent interpret i have display at or near the site of the former north beach library. i suggest we change that wording and say, display should be in the new library. >> commissioner sugaya, do you have any more to add? commissioner sugaya: no, i'll offer those as amendments when it comes up. >> commissioner fong.

commissioner fnchings ong: -- commissioner fong: i grew up in the area, still work in the area, i think that the pilot program that we endured was a great way to prove that folks still could get around to fisherman's wharf, business did not significantly drop off, if at all. i think this would all be a great public space, meeting space, and enhance traffic into the water front. i am in support of the project and also realize that while it serves the people who live in the telegraph hill area, it also serves chinatown and if you look at the people using this facility, it's very diverse. >> commissioner borden. commissioner borden: most everything has been said. i support the project and i'm

moved to approve the seqa finding as well as the general plan consistency findings and the request for zoning amendment. >> i'll second but i'd like to separate the issues. >> ok, what would you like to separate out? >> i'd like to separate out the seqa findings. >> we have to do the seqa findings motion first. i move the seqa findings mokes and separate the others out for a second motion. >> second. >> did you want to speak to the seqa findings? >> i wanted a clarification, if i may, i'm not sure where it falls, that it's from the city attorney in response to collections about clarification of use in the long run, in the long, long run, 60 years, 100 years, beyond the life span

until the new library becomes a historic building, i want to make sure that the view corridor which recognizes the former mason street alignment and gives those people who are coming down mason street and do see the bay, that that will not be kind of diminished by what commissioner sugaya is asking. it needs to be more clearly expressed that in that previous easement, there's no encroachment on what the library does because that corridor still is the view corridor which all people who live up on mason street coming from russian hill, that's their first view of the bay but also further reinforces the historicness of columbus and all other streets which come in

there. >> all i was saying is just add open space in addition to the north beach library vacation resolution or whatever. >> i think to respond both to commissioner moore and commissioner sugaya, there are conditions in the general plan findings regarding how the transferred portion of mason street, you know, would have to be maintained in a way that the master plan envisions it and that this will be open to the public and that there would be no construction of permanent buildings right away excepting the branch library as the general plan determines it.

>> thank you. >> on the motion for adoption of the seqa findings, commissioner antonini. commissioner borden. commissioner fong. commissioner sugaya. that motion passed 6-1 with commissioner sugaya voting against. >> i'll restate the motion. i move to approve the general plan findings and map amendments. >> second. >> commissioner sugaya. >> i'd like to change the wording slightly in that interpretive display to have it located within the new library. >> i'm fine with that.

>> we would prefer the flexibility of the interpret i display either inside or somewhere near the vicinity, so for that reason, that would be opposition to basically not be sort of constrained to one location. >> it's my understanding that it's in the mitigation of the seqa of the -- that we just approved. it's the same wording in both but it was in the seqa findings we just approved. >> then it has to be in the library? >> let's leave it that the library acknowledged the possibility of having it in the new library will be considered along with somewhere at or near. thank you. >> commissioners, a motion for -- are we taking these together or separate?

>> separate. >> the library has acknowledged that the interpretive display can be in or near the facility. on the motion, commissioner antonini. commissioner borden. commissioner moore. commissioner sugaya. commissioner olague. thank you, commissioners, the motion passed unanimously. the library has been approved. >> is there a way we can continue other items to another time. >> commissioners if you would consider continuing item six, seven, and eight to next week's hearing? >> so moved.

>> on the motion to continue matters to next week. >> aye. bracket vote taken] thank you. we are now at general public comment on items not on the agenda. see nothing general public comment, this hearing is adjourned. >> thank you.

>> i work with the department of environment and we are recycling oil. thank you. we can go into a refinery and we can use it again. they do oil changes and sell it anyway, so now they know when a ticket to a. hal>> to you have something you want to get rid of? >> why throw it away when you can reuse it? >> it can be filtered out and used for other products.

>> [speaking spanish] >> it is going to be a good thing for us to take used motor oil from customers. we have a 75-gallon tank that we used and we have someone take it from here to recycle. >> so far, we have 35 people. we have collected 78 gallons, if not more. these are other locations that you can go. it is absolutely free. you just need to have the location open. you are set to go.

>> welcome to culture wire. we will look at the latest and greatest public art project. recently, the airport unveiled the new state of the art terminal. let's take a look. the new terminal service and

american airlines and virgin america was designed by a world- renowned architecture's firm. originally built in 1954, the building underwent massive renovation to become the first registered terminal and one of the must modern and sustainable terminals and the united states. the public art program continues its 30-year legacy of integrating art into the airport environment with the addition of five new commissions that are as bold and dynamic as the new building. >> this project was completed in record time, and we were able to integrate the artist's early enough in the process that they could work with the architect said that the work that is completed is the work that really helps complement and instill the space as opposed to being tucked away in a corner.

>> be experience begins with the glass facades that was designed with over 120 laminated glass panels. it captures the experience of being under or over clouds when flying in a plane. depending on the distance or point of view, it can appear clear for more abstract and atmospheric. the subtle colors change gradually depending on the light and the time of day. >> i wanted to create an art work that looks over time as well as working on in the first glance. the first time you come here, you may not see a. but you may be able to see one side over the other. it features a couple of suspended sculptures. each was created out of a series of flat plains run parallel to each other and constructed of

steel tubing. >> it is made up of these strata. as the light starts to shift, there is a real sense that there is a dynamism. >> it gives the illusion that this cultures might be fragments of a larger, mysterious mass. >> the environmental artwork livens it with color, light, and the movement. three large woven soldiers are suspended. these are activated by custom air flow program. >> i channeled air flow into each of these forms that makes it move ever so slightly. and it is beating like a heart.

if-0 when as of the forces of nature moving around us every second. >> shadow patterns reflect the shapes of the hanging sculptures. the new terminal also features a children's play areas. both of the market the exploratory n.y. -- exploratorium. the offer travelers of all ages a playful oasis. using high quality plywood, they created henches shaped like a bird wings that double as musical instruments. serving as a backdrop is a mural featuring images of local birds and san francisco's famous skyline. >> in the line between that is

so natural, you can see birds and be in complete wilderness. i really like that about this. you could maybe get a little snapshot of what they are expecting. >> it is an interactive, keck sculpture that is interacted with by the visitor. >> they are a lot about and they fall down the belt. it moves the belt up, and if you turn that faster, the butterflies fall in the move of words. >> the art reflect the commission's commitment to acquiring the best work from the bay area and beyond. in addition to the five new commissions, 20 artworks that were already in the airport collection were reinstalled.

some of which were historically cited in the terminal. it includes major sculptures by the international artists. as a collection, these art works tell the story of the vibrant arts scene in the early 1960's through the mid-1980s's. the illustrate san francisco's cultural center and a place of innovation that is recognized and the love throughout the world. one of the highlights is a series of three left tapestries. they are on view after being in storage for 20 years. these tapestries representing various gardens. from his years of living in san francisco. hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, and whilst dahlias in rich, deep shades as they make their way to

the baggage area. they can access behind-the- scenes information and interviews with the artist through an audio to work. it features archival audio as well as interviews with living artists. he can be accessed on site by dialing the telephone numbers located near the artwork or by visiting the commission's web site. the public art speaks volumes of san francisco as a world-class city with world-class art and culture. for more information, visit
