with supervisor campos and supervisor kim on that legislation. we have met with the planning department and some of them have come to see the theater to look at the different options, and i am here to support the motion going forward and just to say hello, so you know that we will be back before you before too long. thank you so much. >> the next speaker? >> your theater will thrill me in the night make the item turn on the beverage and alcoholic alright you're fighting for your beverage license in the night creatures come out on the theater you'll be scared like you should

and creatures great and small make it turn out good and all. thrill me by handling this item right ♪ >> is there anyone else would like to speak? public comment is closed. >> i do know that we have given us -- this the positive recommendation -- and i hope that he will continue to be patient with this issue. i do continue to favor this -- this is a hindrance to business as -- that does not make any sense, with the undermining of different kinds of businesses, and we have seen this with the bowling alley and a single- screen theater, and over time,

all three of us -- more and more businesses will come to us to say, we have an exemption to this or that and i believe we should exempt because of this theatre and that we will continue to accept this, and i look forward to the special use district. >> so we can move this forward with the positive recommendation without objection? thank you. i look forward to this as well. thank you, everyone. please call item no. 2. >> the ordnance for the transportation code to authorize information on a residential permit application. >> we have diana from the mass transit authority. >> good afternoon, supervisors. the item before you is the

transportation code for administrative penalties, for fraud on the resolution -- residential parking permits. the only action that can be taken -- we have identified the fraudulent permits. this is to notify the parking control officer. with approximately 70,000 permits issued each year, it is hard to isolate these vehicles. the only recourse is a residential parking violation ticket. the process does not have a great deterrent against fraud. we will be allowed to establish penalties, looking at an estimate of up to $500 for each violation. i would be happy to answer any questions. >> can you explain, people at work in the business near the

residential areas near where they live, to get this permit? who are the people who would be fined $500? >> there are a couple of examples. one issue is that people were using the post office box, and listing the post -- post office box as a unit, rather than an actual address. there were incidents where we found that the address -- after the investigation we saw this was a post office box. in time could be said for the business owners. >> thank you. seeing no questions, we will openness for public comment. >> good afternoon. ♪ ask a parking patrolman.

i don't want to pay that fee. can't you see. i want to park this car but you can do something in between parking patrolman, i'd like to park my car. you can ask supervisor eric mar. beep beep beep beep yeah beep beep thank you ♪ >> is there anyone else from the public to would like to speak? public comment is closed. can we move this forward without objection. and are there any other items before us? the meeting is adjourned.

>> if you are interested in our local city government and would like to work with 18 other enthusiastic citizens committed

from sfgtv for telecasting us, as they always do. we only have one item. >> item number one, resolution approving the agreement and authorizing the eastern neighborhoods rental incentive option under san francisco planning code for the residential developer proposed that 720 and 740 illinois street and 2121 third street. >> that we have a member of the planning department. >> good afternoon. the action before you today is to authorize the planning director to execute the agreement on behalf of the city for rental housing at this location. the proposed project has already been approved by the planning commission beninese board act and to finalize the agreement. the agreement before you will commit the project sponsor to providing affordable rental housing on site. typically affordable housing requirement for this area would be a fee equal to 20% at the cost of the units. this agreement will allow a reduction to 17% inclusion every

requirement and a $1 fee per gross square foot waiver of the eastern neighbor and public benefit feet, in exchange for a 30-year commitment to affordable housing. before you consider this agreement, i like to describe the project in the context of the zoning which sets the rules for this project. the project site on the overhead is this through lot right here. bounded by third street, illinois, 18, and 19th streets in the pretrip real real neighborhoods. it would demolish existing commercial fueling facilities, merged two lots into one, and constructed approximately 65 but all residential building with 106 new units from 80 off-street parking spaces. all of these units, 18 will contend affordable rental units with eight studios, 31-bedrooms, and seven two-bedroom units. that is a little bit about the

project. here is the picture. i would like to tell you a little bit about the content. the eastern neighborhoods plant recently rezone much a boat -- much of the city's industrial land. the goals were reflecting local values, increasing housing, maintaining some supply of industrial land, and improving the quality of all existing areas with future development. the eastern neighbor the plan rezoned this site as urban mixed use district of this district is intended to promote a mix of uses while maintaining the physical characteristics of this formerly an industrial area this area is intended to serve as a buffer between the residential and -- districts that the more industrial production industrialpdr districts. within the umu, allowable uses

include pdr, retail, educational facilities, and citi and entertainment. housing is permit but subject to the higher affordability requirement. the proposed product fulfills the goals of the umu nicely. with that, that is the project and the context. again, before you is a resolution that would slightly reduce the inclusion carry requirement, but it is done so with a 30-year commitment for on-site affordable rental housing instead of payment to the fee. i am available for any questions. supervisor mar: i see no questions. let's open this up for public comment. anyone from the public that would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor wiener. supervisor wiener: i move that we forward it with a positive recommendation.

supervisor mar: without objection. thank you. >> there are no further matters. supervisor mar: thank you. meeting adjourned. thank you, everyone.

>> welcome to "culturewire." today we are at recology. they are celebrate 20 years of one of the most incredibly unique artist residency programs. we are here to learn more from one of the resident artists. welcome to the show, deborah. tell us how this program began 20 years ago. >> the program began 20 years ago. our founder was an environmentalist and an activist and an artist in the 1970's. she started these street sweeping campaigns in the city. she started with kids. they had an exhibition at city hall. city officials heard about her efforts and they invited her to this facility. we thought it would coincide with our efforts to get folks to

recycle, it is a great educational tool. since then, we have had 95 professional artists come through. >> how has the program changed over the years? how has the program -- what can the public has an artist engage with? >> for the most part, we worked with metal and wood, what you would expect from a program like ours. over the years, we tried to include artists and all types of mediums. conceptual artists, at installation, photographers, videographers. >> that has really expanded the program out. it is becoming so dynamic right now with your vision of interesting artists in gauging here. why would an artist when to come here? >> mainly, access to the materials. we also give them a lot of support. when they start, it is an empty

studio. they go out to the public area and -- we call it the big store. they go out shopping, take the materials that, and get to work. it is kind of like a reprieve, so they can really focus on their body of work. >> when you are talking about recology, do you have the only sculpture garden at the top? >> it is based on work that was done many years ago in new york. it is the only kind of structured, artist program. weit is beautiful. a lot of the plants you see were pulled out of the garbage, and we use our compost to transplant them. the pathway is lined with rubble from the earthquake from the freeways we tour about 5000

people a year to our facility, adults and children. we talk about recycling and conservation. they can meet the artists. >> fantastic. let's go meet some of your current artists. here we are with lauren. can you tell us how long have been here so far and what you're working on? >> we started our residency on june 1, so we came into the studio then and spent most of the first couple weeks just digging around in the trash. i am continuing my body of work, kind of making these hand- embroidered objects from our day-to-day life. >> can you describe some of the things you have been making here? this is amazing. >> i think i started a lot of my work about the qualities of light is in the weight. i have been thinking a lot about things floating through the air. it is also very windy down here. there is a piece of sheet music

up there that i have embroidered third. there is a pamphlet about hearing dea -- nearing death. this is a dead rabbit. this is what i am working on now. this is a greeting card that i found, making it embroidered. it is for a very special friend. >> while we were looking at this, i glanced down and this is amazing, and it is on top of a book, it is ridiculous and amazing. >> i am interested in the serendipity of these still life compositions. when he got to the garbage and to see the arrangement of objects that is completely spontaneous. it is probably one of the least thought of compositions. people are getting rid of this stuff. it holds no real value to them, because they're disposing of it. >> we're here in another recology studio with abel.

what attracted you to apply for this special program? >> who would not want to come to the dump? but is the first question. for me, being in a situation that you're not comfortable in has always been the best. >> what materials were you immediately attracted to when you started and so what was available here? >> there are a lot of books. that is one of the thing that hits me the most. books are good for understanding, language, and art in general. also being a graphic designer, going straight to the magazines and seeing all this printed material being discarded has also been part of my work. of course, always wood or any kind of plastic form or anything like that. >> job mr. some of the pieces you have made while you have been here. -- taught me through some of the pieces you have made while you have been here. >> the first thing that attracted me to this was the

printed surface. it was actually a poster. it was a silk screen watercolor, about 8 feet long. in terms of the flatwork, i work with a lot of cloddish. so being able to cut into it come at into it, removed parts, it is part of the process of negotiating the final form. >> how do you jump from the two dimensional work that you create to the three-dimensional? maybe going back from the 3f to 2d. >> everything is in the process of becoming. things are never said or settled. the sculptures are being made while i am doing the collages, and vice versa. it becomes a part of something else. there's always this figuring out of where things belong or where they could parapets something else. at the end goal is to possibly

see one of these collage plans be built out and create a structure that reflects back into the flat work. >> thank you so much for allowing "culturewire" to visit this amazing facility and to learn more about the artists in residence program. is there anything you like our viewers to know? >> we have art exhibitions every four months, and a win by the public to come out. everybody is welcome to come out. we have food. sometimes we have gains and bands. it is great time. from june to september, we accept applications from bay area artists. we encouraged artists from all mediums to apply. we want as many artists from the bay area out here so they can have the same experience. >> how many artists to do your host here? >> 6 artist a year, and we receive about 108 applications. very competitive. >> but everyone should be encouraged to apply. thank you again for hosting us.
