attorney. would it make sense to send this to the next budget committee meeting or send this to the full board which an instruction to r clerk to explore potential one- era contract extension? >> through the chair, the term of the existing contract expires this year. under the contract there is an option to renew for an additional two years. the board needs to notify the budget analyst by august 1 if the board wants to exercise that option. as long as this gets to the board for action by august 1, you will have enough time to act. so i would think the continuance to the 12th would probably give you enough time. >> ok. even if there's not a meeting on the 12th, if it's on the 19th, there would be enough time? >> the 12th is the day the budget is at the school board. if we are talking about a different date --

>> we are talking about to the budget committee. >> two options. send item out without recommendation, which would allow us to have a conversation still before make a decision at the full board. another option is to continue the items to call the chair until we have a date certain on a meeting date. >> i would be fine with the second option. >> any thoughts, colleagues? >> so continue this. >> if that would be the case, to the budget analyst, we look forward to working with you and we will continue that item to the call of the chair. >> the final item we have on our agenda is the proposition j. supervisor kim? >> thank you. i know that we worked really hard all day on the budget to

put ourselves in a position to put the budget that the f-word right now than has a balance of cut registrations -- to put the budget that we're moving forward right now. agreeing to continue the item to the call of the chair in discussions, because there are multiple stings we are discussing along with proposition new jersey, another issue important to me which would be the issue of des killing. i would recommend a second. >> i would support supervisor kim's motion. this issue and of proposition j is not something any of us take lightly. in part because of the challenges that happen if we were to move forward, but also

in part because given the budgetary challenges, we do have to figure out where we might continue to find additional savings. i had a good conversation earlier today with the head of sciu who reiterated her commitments and everyone commitment to continue to find budgetary savings we can all agree on. given the various issues out there including what supervisor kim mentioned, it is appropriately continue this item at the call of the chair as a potential option. but one that we do look for to input from neighbors so we can see if there are any other ways for us to find savings of that is possible. >> thank you. we have a motion to continue this item to the call of the cherokee. that has been seconded. to the call the chair. we need to look at this proposition j. it would result in no layoffs. it was a significant bubble of

savings for the city to the tune of $6 million per year. there are many issues that are outstanding, whether it's budgetary pressures or the issue of the wage issue at sciu. so i want to make sure we are fully evaluating and vetting these decisions. i'm proud we have a budget that is balanced currently that we can send to the full board that accomplishes many of our shared objectives. can we take that motion? >> yes. >> i'd think we are finished. >> i want to confirm that items 1 and 2 are recommended as amended. items three and four of the 1:00 agenda are recommended. >> correct. >> that completes the agendas. >> thank you. we are adjourned. thank you so much.

[roll call] commissioner moore is expected to be absent. >> first on your calendar, the consideration of items proposed for a continuance. item 1 234 ninth street proposed

for a continuance until september 15, 2011. we have received a request for a continuance for item 18. ddd at 2040 jackson street. a request for a discretionary review through july 27, 2011. all parties are in agreement on that segment. item 17, 610 el camino del mar, the request has been withdrawn due to a settlement. that is all i have. >president olague: that is -- is

there any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. president miguel: i move 234 nonth street september 15 and also a continuance on item 18. >> second. >> on that motion to continue as proposed. commissioner antonini: aye. president miguel: aye. president olague: aye. . that motion passes unanimously, which places us on the consent calendar. these are items deemed to be a routine by the planning commission and will be acted on by a single roll call vote. there will not be any discussion amongst the public so requests.

i have only one item under consent and i have three speaker cards for item barack. 2011.0415c. president olague: seen that the have three cards on this item, we are going to go ahead and pull it and hear it at this time. >> good afternoon, members of the commission. the request before you is conditional use authorization for procter to establish a restaurant -- authorization to establish a restaurant. it closed at its van ness avenue

location in 2011. it was displaced due to the expansion of the california medical center. while the polk street neighborhood district hosts a number of restaurants, the relocation would not result in a net increase in the number of restaurants in the area. it should be noted be location is currently vacant, so it would not displace an existing tenant providing services to the neighborhood. in 2005, this commission -- since that time, the restaurant not begin operation. therefore, the previous conditional use is no longer valid in the new conditional use authorization would be needed. staff does receive 14

communications in support of the project. i would like to pass out one additional letter. supporters cite responsible management of the previous location of the restaurant. staff has received no communications in opposition to the project. finally, i would like to address an issue. this letter alleges that the base of the building contains an illegal dwelling unit. staff visited the area. the area is currently being used for storage and rehearsal space. it does not contain any kitchen facilities, so it is not considered to be a dwelling unit. staff found no violation of the planning code on the property. in conclusion, staff recommends approval of the proposal. that includes my presentation. i am available for any questions. president olague: thank you.

project sponsor? >> good afternoon, commissioners. we were currently located at 1100 van ness boulevard for 20 years. we had to leave the location back in august of 2010. unfortunately we did have a conditional use for 1007 bush street granted in 2005. because of a dispute with the contractor, we were not able to complete the project. we are here to complete the project. we were able to complete almost 90% of our projects. we have the financial goods to complete the project. we've worked closely with the neighborhoods and continue to work closely with them and we want to continue to be in this particular neighborhood. if you of questions, please let

me know. president olague: thank you. i have three speaker cards. linda chapman. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is john. the issues with this project -- the project sponsor came before you december 16, 2005. the project sponsor has an abc license for 1100 van ness, they received a 10-day extension for multiple violations. in the package today, u.s. 14 letters in support for nearby business only. no community meetings, which were checked off on your thing

-- it never happened. i ask that you continue this item until the community is aware of the project. this is the second business this property owner sponsored -- the same, by the way -- tried to open in the storefront this year. for 43 months, the project sponsor has known to relocate their business, has given them -- abc has given them guidelines to follow, and for relocation expenses, they have a 50-mile radius to look relocate -- to relocate. this restaurant has been closed for least seven months. i urge the commission to continue this item. if you were not going to continue this item, then i ask that a restriction on alcohol license be put on the rest from.

for operating hours. thank you. president olague: thank you. >> linda chapman from knobb hill. while i am not opposed to restaurants moving into the area, i have the same reservations expressed a minute ago. ion concerned about the alcohol licenses, -- i am concerned about the of all licenses. as you probably know, we need to explore this further. the operations which are approved to be restaurants turn into bars or clubs or after a meal hours they continue. and we have a perfect example on sutter st. next to the mosque.

the people from the mosque told me they checked with the abc and they were disregarded. when i walked by on friday night, there was a huge party scene going on. next door there is the mosque with its doors open. as you know, we have a conflict going on their. it is our restaurant, sort of, ostensibly anyway. bier, lots of pierre. signs everywhere. beer, beer, beer. abc was so impressed by the 42 protests that the elders at leland senior housing put in against togo -- against coco moving in, and they decided that they should not be serving of the hall until 2:00 a.m. i would consider the impact on the neighborhood. many years ago, i had to come in

and fight highrises one by one. i had to gather 5000 signatures. the most ever gathered. i hope we do not have to do the same thing with bars. you have is going case by case by case on the abc. that just happen. it happened with cmmt. the masonic auditorium. this is a burden on the neighborhood. this is a burden on the state process. they are still scheduled. i do not know they're going to continue having these are not, but you know, they started in december and they are scheduled through october in that one place. in this case, but traditions on it at least. to continue would be a good idea because the neighbors to find out something about its. at least they would have conditions, no alcohol served after 11:00. it is a difficult system.

it is inaccessible to neighbors. i will be talking about that more with you on another occasion. >> hi, my name is michael knolt. all these letters have come from businesses. if they can do out reached two businesses and not to neighborhood organizations -- and they do exist, we do have several organizations in the polk street . , it becomes a problem of residents having knowledge of these venues. we are hearing about, there is

going to be an item on the agenda of the planning commission. so, i guess, again, i would make the same request, that we continue the item until adequate community outreach is done, the existing organizations have within their boundaries at this location and go through their vetting process of listening to this proposal. president olague: thank you. is there any additional public comment? commissioner borden? commissioner borden: i have been very familiar with is the establishment. it has been around for 20 years. it has never been a party sort of location. very much a family restaurant. is actually a very mellow atmosphere. i could understand if we were talking about a business that had a little bit more party or, you know, lively sort of

involvement -- environment, but it is not the sort of atmosphere. it has been around 20 years, 20 years of a track record, and it is basically moving around the corner. i do not hear little polk neighbors protesting. if they have an issue with the stress from coming to the neighborhood, i would think they would be here. i was wondering myself when at this property was going to open. it is not as though it should be a surprise, because the awning has been present for some time. and we have so many businesses writing letters in support. i feel confident moving forward and i move to approve. >> second. commissioner antonini: i totally agree. there is no net increase. this is merely a business being displaced. it has already been granted a conditional use that has

expired. is a vacant space. we are in receipt among one of the letters -- this is from the community leadership alliance, which is at the edge of the district, but apparently they did talk to him. i am not sure, i cannot say they talk to others because we do not have letters, but that does not mean they did not do outreach. this is the review and -- this is a renewal of their cu, not a new cu, although technically is. i am in total support. president olague: i am also in total support. i know there has been a nightmare around contractor. i wish we could set to result in not. also, along with what ms. borden said, i found it to be more family-oriented and a nice dining space.

could look for your -- good luck with your new home. >> on the motion to approve -- commissioner antonini: aye. commissioner moore: aye. commissioner borden: aye. president olague: aye. >> the motion passes 6-0. which places to under the following matters. president olague: is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. president miguel: i move adoption of the draft minutes of the regular meeting. >> second. >> on a motion to approve --

commissioner antonini: aye. commissioner sugaya: aye. president olague: aye. . >> that motion passes unanimously. president olague commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: there was a really good article in the sunday's "examiner," and it analyzes why many families are leaving san francisco. you think gabriels when it was the largest school west of the mississippi. and what we found were people with families are not far away in the san mateo county and marin county.

the pacific has a lot of previous residence for the sunset. what is interesting is he talks about many of these same issues we talk about here all the time -- difficulty with condo conversions for your own use, difficulty getting unit mergers. of course, the school system. it is not a planning issue or has a relationship to a. -- relationship to it. so, very interesting that you have hit upon these things. i think there are a lot of reasons, although we always talk about cost. cost is a factor. these residents in san mateo county are paying just as much. they can get housing with conditions that are more

acceptable to their families. we have to look at the process, what we're doing to drive families away. president olague: i just wanted to welcome jose campos. i do not know if you have a few words force at this time? go ahead, please. tell us a little bit more about yourself. >> thank you, president olague. my name is jose campos. i am new to staff. i am coming from spain where i was the last six years, but prior to that, i was a member of the san francisco planning agency for eight years. president olague: welcome. i also want to acknowledge that we will of the chinatown urban

institute with us today. i do not know if you want to stand up for wave or something? if you are here. [laughter] so, if you have any questions, feel free to contact us through the directors of this, if you want to elaborate more, understand more about the workings of city planning. thank you. we will spend the time with that. i wanted to knowledge former commissioner sue lee is here. sadly, three members of san francisco planning family have passed away this week, in the past two weeks actually. 1 being secretary linda avery's sister.

and anthony urbina, he used to help us set up the meetings here. he does the wide. and finally robert pinder, who was very active in the park merced organization . finally, i wanted to mention i was nominated jan 21st. that had to do with local manufacturing. there's a lot of potential there. so, maybe at some point, we can engage in more conversation about that. and finally, it yes, i think that sometimes -- the articles i have read on the exodus of families tend not to be very

cost conscious, actually. they do not focus enough on the working class families, the challenges they face, to certain pressures, especially the mission and other neighborhoods were u.s. seen an exodus of the latino families. -- where you have seen an exodus of latino families. it is important that we're not just limited to a certain sector of those who are leaving. i think it is important that we keep all families here, middle- class, above and below, and i think it is important that we have a conversation that covers all of the above. commissioner sugaya: the conversation around families leaving the city is complicated. there was a recent "new yorker"

article, actually a long book review, talking about people leaving cities. for decades people and leaving cities. not just san francisco, but all around the country, and moving to the suburbs. there are people moving back to san francisco. they are different population. that kind of thing is universally happening, so it is not just here a long. i have not read the book that was given to us a couple weeks ago, but that was one of the books that was mentioned, along with a few others. in context, it is really not an isolated problem at all. president olague: i think the same thing goes for manufacturing families and a lot of other issues. it is not simply -- you know, it is not that simple. commissioner sugaya:
