with the neighborhood network or people like myself who are familiar with trying to get information to see if this works, because things people understand in the planning department and the bureaucracy do not always filtered down to regular citizens. i have been bugging planning on this issue for about 10 years common on -- 10 years, because i found out developers were cheating the system, and alain started recovering fees but were being lost because people would lowball the estimate of the construction cost and would have all their fees based on this, and not the end -- and in the end it was $3 to planning, and the second thing is the city get

she did -- the city gets she did -- gets cheated, because they do not track occupancy, and i would want to hear how in thnw through to d twpw, and everythig gets tracked. what is one of approval could become 400 different lots, and unless you could track of system, and what happens is the planning department does not have the ability to track them, so all of the assumptions are not borne out when the project is actually sold, so i plead to

make sure this is a through process and all the way to the assessor, and it must involve the subdivision process. if it does not involve the subdivision process, it does not work. i would be even more grateful if this was five years ago. i would really ask that there is attention paid. we have an e-mailed problem. >> is there additional public comment? if not, this is closed. i am very pleased to see this move forward. i have a couple of the same concerns. the tracking all the way through

the tax collector's office has been a problem for generations, and i trust we will be able to figure out how the different departments can actually talk to each other, because they have not been able to for many years. as far as using it, i would suggest to the department that a series of meetings actually as we are beginning to come on line with neighborhood groups having to go out to them, let alone having to go in. if the neighborhood group can put in 10 projects they are following and be able to check on them the same way a

developer would, that would be terrific. it seems that is a total possibility pure good -- a total possibility. having done that, that is much easier, and also we have situations where people are trying to attract things between entertainment and of planning commission and bringing them as early as possible, so when people say there are entertainment permanence -- permits, it is very difficult to have the actual permanencits. >> i just want to be clear.

this phase is actually the two departments, so they will have to add their own module to the system. the two years as not get us to where it needs to be, but it gives us the foundation and the base for all the departments to add on to. >> my only comment is i hope the other departments have some team involved in this process so any quirks, and the necessities they have are built into it early enough so moving it through is made easier rather than having to redo something in order to bring them in. >> i think that is correct.

>> that is the most important aspect going forward. >> we do have regular meetings. and we have those regular forearms regent -- forums. we do expect to be involved in transitioning our departments. goo>> we have lots of technology pierre goad -- lots of technology. just a couple things. you talk about scheduling.

to a degree we could not create a real siren scheduling. hopefully this will make the system easier. i hope the inspectors -- i often hear feedback that you might have five different inspectors for the same issue, so if there is some sort of continuity they can encourage i think that would be great. it should have the ability to save the application. the other thing is that it should be fairly easy to determine -- if i can tell what boxes they need to go through, i need to be able to look at the

application and stevee what ever the steps are, so hough they are environmental, they have to go through these steps? of a lot of people and the general public do not know the process, that will be evident. also, the ability to query and we were talking about this with the entertainment permit. not just a particular site, but an entire block or a geographic region would be good if we can pull up permits and that sort of way. if we can make sure that correspondence related projects can be attached in some sort of way to the project file so some people can see correspondence related to the project, may be even at their own correspondence for comments on our project. i hope that it has the reporting capabilities that you can run

reports on different things. i also want to make sure, how far back are we going to automate records? how many years back billy plan? >> how far back do we go with historical data coverage? some of it will depend on what we find as we start digging through pieces of the data. we have seen some issues prior to 2005, and other issues prior to 1999, those are dates we are currently working with right now. it will include everything that we can that will have meeting -- meaning. >> the permit history of the building can be traceable to further back, but what we have here when we're talking about a project, people claim that there is a permit history that we are not privy to.

i know maybe not every document or correspondence might be available, but that will be something useful for us to be able to look at. when you decide how far back, it would be great to know. i think it is really important that this is a citywide system, because it will create transparency, and obviously, the city will do better if we can do that. otherwise, this is a really great project, a great step in the right direction. as long as we are cognizant of the fact that the user interface is the most important, people will use it. if the interface is difficult or hard to understand, how the information doesn't mean anything to them, it will not be very useful. that is my only caution i would use their.

there are lots of data bases that don't really tell you anything. commissioner sugaya: i am glad the city is catching up to the city i formally worked with 34 years ago. the city was only 500 people so it was easy to integrate information back and forth. you might want to bring public health and to get at some point, since we already have overlaps, especially in the cell phone and in that area. i was wondering, has there been thinking about some kind of notification process or something back to the neighborhood groups or interested parties? we have this block notation where properties are flat or areas our flag, certain area

groups are interested, and it would be interesting if we could implement something. at some point, i am not saying as soon as somebody applied, that it would immediately grow out, but at some point where it became official, maybe there could be some kind of notification process to an interested party. and then on her last point, commissioner borden's question about what would be in the system and outside the system, i would hope that the information on projects that aren't in the system would still be accessible in some fashion. it is sort of part of my business. something beyond micro help

would be great. commissioner moore: it sort of feels like the twenty first century. i appreciate that comment on real-time user-friendly, it is of for it to be attractive, half of the fun of going to the site is getting curious, like the planning department's web site is really fun. you can drive around and discover things. it has similar kinds of surprises upon which is an enjoyable thing to do. i would hope that there would be some public training sessions, i hope that they are having the ability to distinguish between a tight space as you look at a certain segment of the population, you might need the ability for assistance in

translation. you might need to have the ability to find someone who can help you with that in the translation and. the comment on project history, going forward from here is very interesting. you want to see what happened five years ago on that particular building. the system in place, it needs to be the ability for data retrieval which is consistent with the way you are looking at the project information going forward. one of the most amazing questions i would like to ask, what this entirely rely on the open beta? there are certain kinds of information, and i am not a developer, and that goes into payment. not to say that we all need to

pay our bill, but tracking payment on time, and that is kind of like copen data, but layard. even within the city, basing its information systems on open data, there are still layers of governance. they are disclosed to based on your login. i can see a downside where some of this information is not necessarily conducive for all of the nice neighborhood feelings we are trying to encourage. >> the system does offer the ability for staff users as well as on the public side to have a different data available depending on your login. we will be going through a process in determining what the data should be visible for the public.

the system will by necessity capture everything. what has been paid, how they were paid, when they were paid. but whether or not that would be made public as a discussion with the media have. president miguel: just a couple of other questions. how will this affect the paper commissions that are still accepted? once this goes into effect? how will it affect dbi over-the- counter permits, the process of the information desk, those functions? >> we believe we still have to accept paper applications and don't have any plans to cease and desist. >> and normal permits would be

over the counter? it would be done through the system? >> i believe the information will be tracked in the system. president miguel: that is going to make it a lot easier for contractors. thank you very much, good progress. we will see you in six months to a year. now where are we? >> commissioners, you are on item 13 a and b. different case numbers and staff persons, but they're the same case. it is a request to consider

whether or not the shadow cast by the project on buchanan will be adverse. and a request for a conditional use authorization. >> good evening, commissioners. the project before you is to construct a senior affordable housing development with up to 97 dwelling units and one manager's unit. the site is immediately north -- pardon me. it is north of the rosa parks development. in addition to 98 units, the development includes administrative offices, community rooms, open space, and relocation. it requires conditional use authorizations were building exceeding 40 feet in height with

the street frontage of more than 50 feet. and code 303 and 304. at a building height for over 40 feet, it requires analysis under section 295 of the planning code. it was reviewed by the recreation and park and manhattan and does not have an adverse impact. for the draft motions in your packet found honda shadow not to be adverse. prior to a neighborhood notification, they had not received a public comment. since notification, we have received three phone calls and two letters and opposition. it recommends approval of the development finding that the shadow cast is not averse and the intent of the planning code have met to the findings of the draft motion.

we are available for questions. president miguel: project developer? >> the executive director, thank you for the opportunity to present. i will confine myself to just one comment, and let you know that myself, our associate housing director, and the rest of my team is available to answer questions. the comment is that we were successful in securing the section 2 02 award for this project. this is one of maybe not even 100 across the entire community out of thousands of potential applicants, and the wonderful thing about the subsidies is that all of the residents will pay 30% of their income, it is deeply affordable housing and a

precious resource we have been able to bring to the city. i would like to introduce our partner. >> it is good to see you, commissioners. over the last few years, we have been very active and providing affordable housing through 356 units of low-income housing in that particular area. one of them less than a half a block from that, and another one of them adjacent to that same site. we are excited about the partnership we have entered into and we feel like we can provide affordable housing a very safe and secure method in that area. it will be certainly an asset in

the community. the seniors can enjoy a lot of advantages in the local area. we have access to mcallister streets, public transportation. there is shopping in the area for dry cleaners, a this development would be tremendous for the existing rosa parks as it currently exists. and it is a unique application and we certainly appreciate your support. >> my name is michael willis, where the architects. briefly, we have been working with the planning staff for some

time now to develop this block. it is very long, 364 feet. our intent is to take the long block, brick into six distinct elements, create a development skill that is appropriate to that neighborhood. while maintaining a clear access. we are seeing this as a complex, 1 and 2. we link them intentionally because we believe that they will be used in concert. we have community rooms, offices and programs bases along the street frontage that you can see from the illustration, light

the first floor level so there won't be a dark box with car lights parking and confronting new about a lively street frontage that was done very much in concert with the planning staff. we have this next illustration, you can see the large one over here on your screen. he brought -- the drop-off has been a topic of interest for people. rosa parks one will be as it always has been. you will have direct access to rp1 through rosa parks 2.

we looked at a range of materials and the approach is such that a very long block would take got a very low rather than one long block. but breaking it up into several pieces. in the interest of time, i will be here to answer questions, and but we think it is quite a good project, and the amount of input we have had, there is a chance to listen to real concerns. president miguel: i have one card in public comment. a might not be announcing the

name correctly. >> these are the letters sent to just a couple of people. i am the president of the rosa parks peasants association. you know, looking at these pictures, it started hesitating. it is nice looking, but listen to us. the rosa parks and building was built in the '60s.

it was a hospital, and in 1973, three more levels were added to the building. you know, we have the 12 stories of that kind of office. it was converted at that point in two housing facilities for seniors and others. hallway's duty that addition, they have three and five degrees of pitch. the windows are turned, and they are leaking.

several apartments are very flooded when we have rain. it was built on soil without preservation, and it needs a lot of work, because we have a lot of problems. the building, adding a new building to the old ones, there are damages to rosa parks, the collapsing of the property. and even the earthquake comes along, we will be buried in the rubble of this building. the occupants of the building is worth 250 cents, approximately

300 people, not including the care providers and other workers. it would add another 200 people. [chime] i have to finsih. president migish. president miguel: thank you. you can submit that in writing. your time is up. >> thank you. >> your time is up. submit it in writing. >> i submitted it. >> other people have to be allowed to speak. >> if you allow me to -- president miguel: i cannot. the rules are evr
