getting a little bit closer, again, it is a kind of the north south side. it will be the north and toward the fire -- the primary facility to the south. here is the site itself. if you have a much more detailed package if you have questions about details. i wanted to walk you through the basic evolution of the site. the one here will be demolished. this is a the existing parking configuration. the large triangular parking, it is being used for now there is

parking on the roof, the entire site includes about 195 parking spaces. and the proposal is essentially to reconfigure the site, demolished the building, the majority of the parking for customers is in the back there. the overall reconfigured site goes for about 195 down to 171. we will get some additional parking. what does a restaurant depot do? they provide anything that a restaurant might need. it supplies, dry goods. they're going to add about 20 jobs as a result of this expansion. i will turn it over to the

president for a little bit more flavor about what they do. >> it is part of a national chain. we have 87 locations across the country. when we first built the warehouse, i remember everyone talking about, we will never need a place that big. it is too much and we will never need it. 10 years later, we have 100% outgrown it. it doesn't allow us to bring in the kinds of products that our customers want us to bring in. there have been a lot of changes in the industry the last few years like requirements in paper and packaging to be more environmentally friendly and

that kind of thing. in order to make that happen, we need more room. they come from the city, [reading names] all of these restaurants, not one of them are a chain. they're all independent restaurants. we are able to make them competitive. because customers drive to our facility, we can offer a discount on products and reverses a conventional distributors. we find ourselves -- and this is

sort of the emerald city, so to speak. as andrew mentioned, we have 115 employees. 85 of them are union. with our proposed expansion, we will be adding 25 employees to handle the additional business. the majority of our employees live within 5 miles of where we operate. we have very low turnover. longevity average at the company, a lot of people are there 20 or 30 years. we don't have a lot of turnover. we have people in management. they started as a cashier, they work their way up to become

management. all our employees know their customers. if you get a chance to see them, it is quite unbelievable how everybody is on a first name basis. our employees all know what they buy. it works out pretty well. there is a great camaraderie between us and the customer base. thank you for listening and if you have any questions, i would be more than happy to answer. >> just one more comment. significant support here. seven more support letters. i think the industry loves this business. thank you very much. >> i have three speaker cards.

>> i am president -- i have been in the restaurant business for over 40 years. we have over 10,000 restaurants, bakeries, and more. i used to get up at 6:00 in the morning, 5:00 in the morning, shopping, come back. and we have time to go home and sleep another hour. also we must always hold ourselves to the company. of course, they were charging as extra because they were delivering to us. finally, about 11 years ago, restaurant depot comes to san

francisco. we don't have to get up at 6 in the morning to go shopping at the produce market. or the self city supermarket. anything we wanted we could get from somewhere. lettuce, tomato, rice, everything. we were so happy. finally, it is close to us and we can get everything. sometimes, even when i was going over there. i had to leave and come back

later because i could not find parking. and of course, in the parking, it was a big deal for us. thank you for listening. i hope everything goes well. i appreciate your time. >> i was asked to do a structural evaluation of this

building. it is a classic framed building. the same buildings you're wrestling with now on all of the hospitals. this building actually matches the hospital collapse of 1971. this building looks like it. we have about 500 of these buildings in the city. in terms of distribution of damage, 5% of them will be damaged. the city is proceeding with caps to address these buildings. this was a rather unique frame, it has short columns. you brought a little diagram, the pendulum swings. an inverted pendulum design --

it is unstable. it is about 9% that it will collapse. don't let anyone else in the building. the chances of surviving are so low. the city is moving forward on caps. they're going after these buildings, then concrete buildings. your a bit ahead of the curve on this building next -- and addressing it. >> additional public comment? public comment is closed. >> this is a great use for our city, the number one industry when people associate the

restaurant industry. the income on restaurants, i want to thank them for existing. you create great jobs, there will be an increasing number of jobs, and anything that requires people to park, there is not the best public transit. i moved to approve. >> second. this is exactly what was meant when the planning department created the term pdr some time ago. that area in particular is the epitome of it in san francisco. it works out there. you have a flourishing business and a flourishing industry in our city endured to be complemented for it. -- and you are to be

complemented for it. >> paging through the letters, the vast majority of your customers are from san francisco. you have a considerable number that is outside the city. some of the competitors are outside the city. this is really good and it is ultimately a very nice looking building. it will help to improve the entire district. where houses don't have to be beautiful. but it is nice if they are. it competes with some of the parked outside of san francisco as we dress it up and make it safer and more in the landscaping in you feel better about going there. that is another benefit. >> we have industrial uses and industrial areas.

in some instances, there might be a greater requirement for automobile used. when you have restaurant owners that have to travel to pick up supplies, it is hard to schlepp all that on the busline. the buses in that area are substandard, which is unfortunate. commissioner sugaya? >> i went there a few years ago and i found out that you had to be a member so it forced me to buy on the internet. >> on the motion to approve with conditions? [roll call vote] so moved, commissioners. that also passes

unanimously. >> i wanted to thank the head of the press to run to at work -- for working with the staff. >> commissioners, you are on your final calendar item, number 16. 3111 fillmore street. request for a conditional use authorization. dodge the item before you is to provide other entertainment and electronic amplification until 2:00 a.m. on thursday night. this constitutes a modification of condition 20 of motion 1a adopted on a hearing september 16, 2010.

the commission restricted the hours that they could provide amplified music on thursday night until midnight as a result of concerns expressed by jasons neighbors. the conditions stipulated it -- adjacent neighbors. they would consider a 2:00 in the morning closure after six months. they have received no complaints and as a result of the notification, we have received two letters in opposition to the proposal from adjacent neighbors. we recommend approval. >> project sponsor? >> good evening, commissioners. i will try to keep my comments very brief. this venue has been an

entertainment location for more than 40 years. next door is where it was originally read. they have owned the business since the mid-90s and introducing commitee last year was a huge success. the have not had any problems with the neighborhood. we contacted both of those people and one of them said that they were concerned about the live music. there is never any live music, so he was clearly talking about a larger neighborhood issue. another neighbor said that basically they are against all an intensification of entertainment in the neighborhood. i wanted to say that this is a great venue. i appreciate what you have done that earlier today. i believe that the comedy

component of the comic club would meet the requirements as defined in the item you approved earlier. they have a small stage area, it makes perfect sense. it would be a great place for a new talent to come in if he wanted to try his hand at stand- up comedy. it would be a good place to do it. this is a good venue as any to get your comedy out. i would strongly encourage you to approve this. thursday night is a natural for this, and has not been a problem in this is a really good club owner. >> is there any public comment? public comment is closed. >> i live five blocks and i have to it met that i have danced many nights away at the club.

it is a nice place to go. it is not like a downtown place. it is normal people. anyway, i have always been that impressed that even though there is dancing, it wasn't evident outside. there is far more traffic and noise in front of the other venues that don't have amplified sound and dancing. i commend the club for the fact that if he did not go inside, you would not know that the place was playing music. people really do support this kind of activity there. i am happy to hear about the comedy. >> i have less than 200 square feet up there. by fall under that -- i fall

under that suggestion. >> i am familiar with the club and i think like it sounds -- i think it sounds like a good proposal. "you were here a year ago. it was very controversial then. there was a few people. that's what it was. i remember that. >> this is fantastic. >> i think that she lived around the back or something. >> there was something i remember, there was some controversy. >> thursday is a new friday, i forgot to tell you that. >> congratulations and i'm really grateful that you run such a great business because i remember when you came.

>> on the motion to approve with conditions. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> you are now on public comment. i see no speaker cards. >> we're closing the meeting in the memory of linda avery, anthony -- , and robert pender. thank you. the meeting is adjourned.

>> to address these concerns, i have made a series of amendments to the resolution that capture the spirit of the policy but would allow continued conversation with the task force and other stakeholders about how we do metering. i believe strongly that the city needs to start developing toes to help create affordable housing. in our housing element alone, we talk about building a 60% affordable, but we are currently not doing that. it is important to start the discussion about creating tools of measuring our affordable housing and creating tools to enforce that. i grew up in new york city, one to my parents who had immigrated here to the u.s. actually, i started really becoming active in working with the community when i was in high school. came out to california for college, went to stanford. i was always politically involved. when i was a college student, i

worked on the initiative to get rid of affirmative action in our public government system. currently, we have 3 legislative items that are pending. the first is going to be coming to a final vote on tuesday, our mid-market uptown tenderloin task exemption legislation. it is basically an incentive to encourage businesses to come to mid-market. in particular, where we have the highest commercial vacancy. and then when i graduated, moved out to san francisco about 12 years ago. i always loved sanford cisco in college, and i just wanted to try it out. i started working in economic development policy. i was a community organizer for six years. i worked with young people, parents, and families around

issues that concern our neighborhoods, whether it was improving muni lines, affordable housing, public schools, or just planning issues in neighborhoods. we just had a hearing last week, and we are trying to do some work around bedbug enforcement, which is a major issue in the tenderloin and of hill and 63. a hearing will actually be on thursday, april 7, 10:30. we're doing our first hearing on pedestrian safety. i think public safety is a huge concern. it ranges from both low-level crimes to pedestrian safety, and so that is a really important issue to me. we are probably more than double what every other district has. and that are preventable. and we can do better. district 6 is one -- home to one of the most diverse constituencies. we have the poorest residents in san francisco. we have lgbt. we have immigrants, people of

color, youth, and a high proportion of seniors in the city as well. we heard that people want to see more jobs, want to see access to more jobs for our residents. we want to see more preventive instead of just reactive. we want to see after-school programs versus the police picking them up because they are out on the street, which i think our chief agrees with. i actually ran for the board of education in san francisco and got to serve a term on our school board. what really surprised me was how much i enjoyed it. i loved it. i love meeting with families, meeting with youth, meeting with teachers, visiting schools, and getting a deeper understanding of what it means to make our system work better. the one thing i really enjoyed was i got to run within a district instead of citywide, was that i really got to know voters and residents. i actually enjoy campaigning

more because i had time to knock on doors and the voters individually. i'd love it. i actually really enjoyed being out on the field. so i spent a lot of time doing it because i got to really get a deeper understanding of what people care about and what people's concerns are and also what people loved about the district and the city. i was talking with the mayor yesterday. he was very interested in seeing how the good work with our office -- how he could work with our office. i would love to see how we could support small businesses because they are the heart at san francisco. they provide 60% 07% of the jobs in sanford cisco, and they provide it locally, and they are not going to offshore their jobs any time. i am not an opponent of cleaning up the tenderloin. i love the tenderloin. i love what is right now. i recognize we have a diversity of books that live there and people do not want to see open drug dealing.

i do not have a problem with people lit think -- people out on the street socializing. i think that is good. that to me is more -- you know, it is part of the character of the neighborhood. i get to represent one of the most exciting and dynamic districts in the city. it is where change is happening, so i think it is exciting in terms of how we can model what it means to be a smart growth neighborhood, how we can use transit and housing effectively to serve our city and also to do a lot of the new green policies that we have developed over the last 10 years. >> the public wants to access particular information about your house or neighborhood we point them to gis. gis is a combination of maps and

data. not a graphic you see on a screen. you get the traffic for the streets the number of crimes for a police district in a period of time. if the idea of combining the different layerce of information and stacking them on top of each other to present to the public. >> other types of gis are web based mapping systems. like google earth, yahoo maps. microsoft. those are examples of on line mapping systems that can be used to find businesses or get driving directions or check on traffic conditions. all digital maps. >> gis is used in the city of san francisco to better support what departments do. >> you imagine all the various elements of a city including

parcels and the critical infrastructure where the storm drains are. the city access like the traffic lights and fire hydrants. anything you is represent in a geo graphic space with be stored for retrieval and analysis. >> the department of public works they maintain what goes on in the right-of-way, looking to dig up the streets to put in a pipe. with the permit. with mapping you click on the map, click on the street and up will come up the nchgz that will help them make a decision. currently available is sf parcel the assessor's application. you can go to the assessor's website and bring up a map
