really the attitude about how the city is embracing this. it is a very forward-looking idea. >> i have had meetings and conversations for requests on the calendar, 2507 larkin. i just wanted to mention that. congratulations to the city and the bayview hunters shipyard for the funding that was obtained. the mayor just had a press conference for that moment ago. commisioner miguel: i was just at that press conference. the lead developer at hunters point, candlestick point compoun -- candlestick point, a

check was received for the foundation to disperse the public funds. regarding that dispersal, $7.2 million goes along way in this regard. the entire community there was rep and very appreciative of this coming through. this is something that is not happening in the rest of the country. i talked to planning commissioners in various areas in california as well as other areas around the country. they are having a very hard time with things. they're not in the more optimistic anticipatory mode that san francisco developers and officials are. we are in a very rare position

here. we should take time to appreciate it. >commissioner sugaya: last saturday i had the privilege of being part of a program sponsored by the bart station. it was a celebration of 60 years of the japanese-american evacuation. the station was on the side of the racetrack, which was used as an assembly area for the people in the east bay, where they were first assembled before they were sent to the internment camps further inland. most of the evacuees winter topaz, where i was born. -- went to topaz, where i was born. the exhibit was of dorothea elaine photographs that she took at the center.

jackie spear was a speaker, and stayed, surprisingly, for about an hour and a half. with representatives from san bruno, foster city, san francisco, and others. representative mike honda and nancy pelosi also had representatives there. it was a really great event. the exhibit is open if you are ever traveling on bart and want to go to the san bruno station. it is up for the month of may, which is the pacific islander america -- whatever it is called -- heritage month. it will be up for the entire month of may in the station. the organizers are hoping that we will be able to get bart track a permanent memorial there. commissioner moore: i want to acknowledge commissioner sugaya

for what he just shared with us. my understanding is that this exhibit was to be in the san francisco library. is that incorrect? commissioner sugaya: there is a separate exhibit at the san francisco may library -- main library through june 24th. it is slightly different. there are about 30 to 40 pieces of art that were created by internees while they were at the topaz internment camp. it is on the fourth four and is free. during the month of may and june, the library is sponsoring a number of evening lectures and events. commissioner moore: the other thing i wanted to share with the commission is that the mayor in doing the signing ceremony for the america's cup thanked at this commission for its support. -- thanked this commission for

its support. it is up and running, although we have not seen the final version of america's cup light. >> thank you, commissioners. we can now move on to directors reports, directors announcements, and a review of the board of supervisors and more appeals and the preservation commission. i wanted to thank the commissioner for the nia award. and related to that, i was part of a group including supervisor avalos that cut the ribbon for the 27th part what, which is in

the excelsior district. this was actually built by a group of students, designed and built by a group of students through an organization called the out of sight youth center in excelsior. the students were all there and very proud of it. the 27 parklet and there are about 40 more in the pipeline. it is really exciting. and also in terms of award, and i do not think i got to mention it at the conference in l.a. last month, the department received a national award for the hard-1 victory category. -- hard-won victory category. it was nice to get that recognition any room of about 3000 people during the awards ceremony. it was gratifying. the board of appeals did not meet this week, so there is no

update on that item. >>commissioner moore: would be possible for you to give us an update, where you are supporting it, where you're holding back, what you are seen to create creative diverse solutions. >> i will put some things together for you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm here to present a summary of the board of land use. last week ran a little long, so

you did not get to hear about this hearing prepared there's a hearing on the impact the furlough program and its affect on affordable housing. a presentation was made by the office of workforce and economic development. only 17% of the projects currently satisfy the affordable housing requirement. only 17% of them pay the fees. the rise to some sort of housing development. since the start of the program in july, 2010, only four have qualified and they have all participated. these projects have paid $1.3 million and deferred $7.5 million prepared -- $7.5 million. with the feet deferral program,

it begins slightly earlier at about $800 per square foot instead of $850 per square foot. since the fee deferral program came at an economic -- at a difficult time economically, the program has been difficult and the projects -- there are two projects that have been delayed because of the lack of affordable housing funds. while the initial time of the program has been difficult, the city will be reimbursed and we will also get a feed unfurled surcharge of two 0.2% that will result in more revenue in the long term. the fee deferral program will expire in july of 2013 unless there is a new ordinance approved. also at land use last week, there was an ordinance to allow height increased along gary.

at that time, you recommended approval with modifications. your modifications included that the ordinance be expanded to apply to additional streets including certain nc-2 districts along balboa. and you also recommended pulling back the bonus so that it would begin on geary, west of the sonic avenue appeared -- sonic added. the supervisor did incorporate all of your recommendations. the supervisor amended the ordinance to apply merger limitations on to comment and

balboa, but not to gary. as these amendments were substantial, the ordinance was amended and continued. it was this week without public comment and recommended to the full board for approval. the big item this week was articles 10 and 11. this ordinance was introduced by supervisor wiener and co- sponsored by supervisor olague. this commission provided their own comments on february 2nd. overall, your commission and the historic preservation commission held 25 hearings on this issue. monday's hearing, after opening remarks, but director ram and supervisor wiener included the comments of both commissions. it was largely an issue aligned with what the historic

preservation commission also wanted. the only change is since your review of the ordinance was too affordable housing. the commission had asked the supervisor to work with planning staff to clarify what projects would qualify him what criteria would be used. after lengthy public comment, the ordinance related amendments for it with a positive recommendation for the full board. supervisor cohen and wiener voted in full support and supervisor mar. said no on the recommended approval. he felt more discussion needed to take place in his community.

this legislation is currently slated for a full board vote this coming tuesday. that concludes the board report, unless you have questions. president fong: commissioners, and questions? >> on next tuesday's hearing before the full board, i'd been led to understand there is no public testimony. >> yes, the with the port handles those is they send them to -- the way the board handles those is they send them to committee. there will be no comment, except for board members and anybody day invited to provide clarification. thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. tim fry on behalf of the planning department. a couple of items yesterday in the preservation commission that i would like to share with you. the planning staff provided an

overview of the department's t.r. -- tdr program based on the recommendations on the transit district plan, the recommended reclassification of 43 properties to the article leaven code, and the expansion of the new montgomery st. conservation district. this will include 26 additional properties. finally, the h-p added for properties to its program. these actions were to initiate process, and the department will present to the planning commission and to the agency next month before sending to the full board of supervisors for consideration. i believe what will be presented to you today is an overview of the district plan and some of that information will be included in the presentation to you. the h pc also adopted a survey

and context statement for the oceanside neighborhood on sunset. this neighborhood was sponsored by san francisco beautiful and historic preservation fund committee. the general boundaries of the area were broadened to include the edge of golden gate park, 37th avenue, 45th avenue, and pacific. there was a focus on only the earliest properties found primarily from the turn of the century. after a large amount of public testimony, the h pc voted to adopt the context statement to be forwarded to the preservation commission. that concludes my presentation unless you have questions. president fong: questions? >> ok, thank you. commissioners, we can now move over to your 15-minute general

comment category. items of the public and can address you on any items with the exception of issues on the agenda, which cannot be addressed in this category. the entire category as a 15- minute time limit. i do not have any speaker cards. president fong: is there any general public comment? >> this is the first time i've come here. i would like to talk about my labor. we open a restaurant i can come back >president fong: we agree to hear that item a little bit -- in a little bit on the calendar. you can speak and. any other general public

comment? >> commissioners, we can move forward to the beginning of the regular calendar with item #9, case number 20124901 kolk street -- case number 2012. >> the item before you is for conditional use authorization to combine the approximately 600 square for wine bar with the full-service restaurant space at 901 called street. to establish an approximately 3200 sq. ft. full-service restaurant and bar of doing business as papzote with the department of all to operate on

the basement, first floor, and mezzanine of the three story mixed use building. the project site is located within a quarter mile of the haight street zoning district. the proposed a full-service restaurant and bar would include dining areas and servers and storage areas. -- service and storage areas. the roveri seating for approximately 60 persons, ground-floor. no changes are proposed to the building. in regard to the previous application, today, the planning department has received 39 letters and e-mails from the

haight ashbury association. however, the coal valley improvement association indicated opposition to allowing the establishment to operate until 2:00 a.m., indicating a similar closing time of a typical restaurant, 11:00 p.m. they indicated that a bar closing at 2:00 a.m. when not be consistent with the surrounding uses regarding trash collection and storage noise, traffic congestion and on street parking. the planning staff is recommending that the proposed project be improved -- approved with modification.

the bar to be operating between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m. seven days a week with regard to this ability in this small-scale commercial district. staff recommends that all operations shall cease by 12:30 p.m. and has indicated approval to the affect. this concludes my presentation. president fong: thank you. project sponsor? >> thank you for having us today. my name is nate valentine predicts we operate -- nate ballantine. but we operate a similar restaurant to what we want to do here in coal valley. i have lived in coal valley for 17 years. i could not be more excited about joining the neighborhood. we're very happy to be here from

a business perspective and we're very happy that the proposed space opened up for us. i started reaching out to the neighbors in 2011. i met with the cold valley association. i think it has 300 members on it and i've been in constant communication with them. our goal is to be a good neighbor. in order to be a good neighbor, we have to be -- to be in a neighborhood, we have to be a good neighbor. if there questions or concerns, will make sure we can be the -- we are the best the can possibly be. there are 39 letters of support and four written letters of opposition. the biggest thing people talk about was the closing time. there is a business across the street as the ability to be open until 2:00 a.m. the train operates until 1:47

a.m. and the all until 430 and -- the owl until 4:30 a.m. many people were asking for later dining options. our other restaurant has had accolades. we are restaurateurs'. it is what we do. it is not that we want to open this for fun. it is what we do for a living, and we could not be more excited about it. i did mention that we could speak with neighbors about their concerns. with that in mind, have gone back to the neighborhood and talk to them, specifically the coal valley home improvement association. where they did not agree with it, we have agreed to modify the hours by closing at 12:00 a.m. sunday to wednesday and 1:00 a.m. thursday and friday and saturday.

thank you for your *. president fong: would you repeat the hours? >> 12:30 p.m. sunday through wednesday at 1:00 a.m. thursday through saturday. president fong: thank you. it is there any public comment or speaker cards on this item? any public comment on this item? commissioners? commissioner borden. commissioner borden: i'm very supportive. i actually used to live a block from your other restaurant and the crispy chicken tacos are quite good, among other things. the noise containment to that space, when you walk down chestnut street, you do not know that they are still operating. they operate a very professional business. they maintain the sidewalks. they enforce the proper roles

are around that. i used to live in the sunset district and i lived at and wait and the other pub. i know they operate late. the public stops should operation a little earlier, but they are open much later. -- stops the food operation of little earlier, but they are both open much later. they're both lively and active as spaces. as someone who lived in that area, it is very challenging because there is not a lot of places to grab food late at night. there are a lot of places in general to grab food. it is a small corridor. you have mostly small-scale cafes that mostly serve breakfast, lunch, and maybe early dinner. going to haight street is a completely different experience. but i think this restaurant, given the track that -- track record they have with the other restaurants th t
