no discussion unless a member or the public and will be considered at a later hearing. the first one is for ellis street and conditional use to allow the partial conversion to a car rental office and car rental agency that is doing business as enterprise rent-a-car. next is for 47 cambon drive and conditional use authorize arizona and for car sales or rental use doing business as you hall within the shopping district. commissioners follow public comment that removes them from the consent calendar. these items are before you for

consideration. >> thank you. any public comment on the items on thed consent calendar? seeing none it is closed. >> move to approve. >> thank you. commissioners, the motion on the floor is for approval of both items eight and nine as they are proposed. on that motion commissioner antonini. >> aye. >> commissioner. >> aye. >> commissioner. >> aye. >> commissioner. >> aye. >> commissioner. >> aye. >> thank you the motion passed unanimously. commissioners are there any other commission matters? >> commissioner antonini. >> thank you. a couple of things and first of the all and not to throw water on the giants and i was there for gave seven and it was a terrific night but i took muni back that night and

after riding public transportation in many cities we need to have clean secure trips for passengers. some of the tunnels are long and people were in there with the belongings and blocking the area and aggressive panhandling and when you go to the stockton street and by yourself on the narrow tunnel and hard to get through and people are occupying areas, and i hope that we can look into this. muni i understand got additional funding and one of the first things they should use it for in conjunction for bart is better security in their stations if they want riders to feel safe when they ride it at evening or any other time but other than that everything has been great. i do want to mention a couple of other things. first of all subcommittee for secretary

search, the two chairs or presidents of that subcommittee, myself and dan masuta from the historic preservation commission had a meeting with representatives from dhr yesterday to try to work on an issue that we have been grappling with with the classification of the job being offered regrettably to replace linda avery as our commission secretary, and i am happy to report we are continuing to meet on that subject and we hopefully we can work that out to everyone's satisfaction. we have another meeting scheduled for tuesday, and i also want to say and you all probably know this already it is linda's last day, and we're going to be very sad, and it won't seem the same

without her, but it's what she has and needs to do and we certainly appreciate all the years of service and particularly i served with her over ten years now and it's been wonderful. >> thank you. >> well, i want to take this time and continue that on. this is an important day for the planning commission and the planning department and it's linda's last day in that seat. after 31 years of doing this, and i cannot -- i of doing this for two years and given up thursday nights for two years and i can't believe doing that for 31 years, but linda help build this commission, this department, help build this city. the card you're going to receive is actually a skyline of san francisco and my comment is you had a large hand in how that skyline looks and i think it's fitting. on behalf of the commissioners i am sure they will have comments on their

own. this is a photo taken by one of your own commissioners here. i will let that person identify themselves but she is to my right, but this is a photo to keep of city hall wherever that maybe at a home office or wherever and thank you and congratulations. >> thank you. [applause] >> of course i am going to cry. okay guys you know do i don't this well, but i just want to say thank you. it's been such a pleasure to not only serve the commission, the various commissions, but to serve the citizens of san francisco, and of course again i don't do this well. i am crying forgive me,

but i can't believe -- i can't even imagine a career they could have had that was better than the one i had so thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioner wu. >> linda, i also really want to thank you. we've only had the pleasure of working together for the last eight months but i couldn't have done it without you. i think becoming a commissioner on this commission is one of the hardest in the city and guided countless commissioners through the years. you have been a champion for the commission for the nndz of the commission, for the commission to assert its own important and that is important and also as a liaison for the public and helped them through the difficulty of the planning code and deal with the procedures of the planning commission so thank you. >> commissioner moore.

>> i like to say i like to thank you what you teach me and what you teach us every week and that is civil civic dialogue. i think you're an example for making this room a bright discussion, an informed discussion for everybody, and it is you holding all the strings of what is happening in your hands and doing that wisely every week. i only will say one thing about that picture. that was actually taken on the day when we celebrated "i left my heart in san francisco". >> thank you. >> commissioner hillis. >> i've got the shortest tenure on the commission but worked on the planning commission for over a decade and i didn't realize until i came here the difficult and complex job you have and part of the reason is you do it so well and serve the staff and the public so well so thank you

very much. you will definitely be missed. >> it's been my pleasure. thank you okay thank you. now f we can go forward to director's report, director's announcements and review of the events for the board of supervisors and board of appeals and the historic preservation commission. >> thank you. well, i must add my thanks on behalf of the staff for linda for the 31 years of service to the city and the support for the commission and not department as a whole. it has been a great honor to work with linda over the last five years and i know staff feel the same for the years and linda has been a guide for me coming to san francisco and not

understanding this place well and a great support for me and i will support her on my personally behalf as well as well as the department. thank you linda. >> you're welcome. thank you. >> and that concludes my report. >> i am emily rogers. thank you linda. and for this week's board report there are several items we would like to report to you as far as the board of supervisors on planning and land use related ordinances. on monday's land use committee personality disorder the privately owned. >> >> pupublicly accessible signage ordinance and supervisor chiu recommended all these and the mayor's office ask that these signs comply with federal ada

standards. the supervisor office and department working well with them to make sure that the administrative bulletin set in place dimensions and graphic requirements that reflect these ada standards. the ordinance was amended so the existing signage not complying with the requirements are subject to the new requirements and with the committee recommended support to the full board. they also heard the monitoring ordinance and sponsored by president chiu and adopted all of the modifications and the mayor's office of housing asking that these reports do this providing households earning more than this and -- they have one

program providing assistance to this category and with those amendments the category recommended support of the ordinance to the full board. the land use committee also heard another piece of president chiu's northeast legislation. this is the ordinance you heard over the course of about eight months or so, over the last year and a half. they just heard a portion of this week and expand the allowable floor area for limited commercial uses and allow the uses within 100 feet of a corner instead of 50 feet within the mission district . the board voted to expand this provision into these districts and this week supervisor campos thought to expand this provision to apply to the mission district. at this hearing the

commission vote not to change these controls in any rto district because they were adopted as part of the octavia market neighborhood plans and under the five year review process but this week the committee recommended changing this in the mission district and recommended it be made to the full board. at tuesday's full board hearing there were a few items and supervisor olague's report and to produce a more complete picture from the production and monitoring from low income and include middle income and various sized units. he proposed to adding to the dashboard reports that come before a decision making body and supervisor olague asked for

more time to work with the mayor's office and the planning department and continued for one week. the ordinance that will amend the administrative code to ensure the right to return to revitalized public housing was also heard on tuesday. you heard this on the 27th and the supervisor was working with the mayor office and the housing authority on changes so you recommended approval in concept and the supervisor worked with those agencies and in the end they got mod modifications and supported it at hearing and the full board approved it at first reading with those modifications. the board also heard an ordinance that would strengthen existing laws to restrict the conversion of apartment units and also -- to restrict the conversion of housing units to tourist or

short term use, practice known as hotellization and this ordinance sponsored by president chiu and they approved this on final reading and lastly was supervisor wiener's ordinance and 5 feet height bonus for active uses in the castro and on the 24th street and there were a few new introductions this week i would like to share with you. two of them -- i guess only two items. there are two hearing requests. the first is a request from supervisors kim and board president chiu. this is a hearing to consider the initial design of the golden gate warriors development at piers 30 and 32 and c lot and update on the waterfront transportation network assessment, so that hearing as well as another from supervisor ma. he would like a hearing to support the

preservation of independent theaters and that will be upcoming at the board of supervisors. i will keep you posted. i heard from the zoning administrator and would like to report on the board of appeals and one case in lafayette park. and allow storage shed in the park and several concerns were issued and the board found it was properly issued and upheld the permit and that concludes the reports. >> thank you. commissioner antonini. >> thank you for the report. with the project design for the warriors and the piers 30 and 32 would we have a hearing also to see some of that? i know it's a portland, but i know the

supervisors are asking to have some sort of a presentation. >> commissioner, yeah, you will be seeing that project in multiple capacities both in terms of the eir as well as -- assuming it moves forward any potential zoning changes. we could at some point schedule an informational hearing as well if you would like an informational hearing prior to the zoning and the eir. >> i think in some nances it's good for projects that we have informational hearing before we get into the environmental and see the scope of it. i think it's a good way to handle things if that is possible and the other commissioners are favorable to that. i would be interested in that happening. >> no further questions. thank you. >> mr. president, just for the record historic preservation commission didn't meet this

week. >> thank you. >> with that commissioners we are now at general public comment where members of the public may address of and within the subject matter jurisdiction of this commission with the exception of agenda items and may not addressed in this category or only when reached on calendar and you have three minutes and before i give this to the president for all of you surrounding the door there are seats in the room. we don't allow standing the room unless you're getting ready to speak, so those surrounding the door you created a fire hazard. we ask you that find a seat if you're lining up to speak do it on the other side of the room

without blocking the monitors. thank you. >> thank you. general public comment on items not on today's agenda. (calling speakers). >> good afternoon commissioners. i am deno and i would like to commend president fong. i think you made two comments last week that were great and family first and and both of these show long-term vision. and commend the planning department for these and josh and kevin did a fantastic job. i think they both need promotions but we're excited about that going into place. well design plan. everything seems thought out well and the construction is humming with excitement as we look forward to connect the

american infrastructure in a new format and pulse putting a great section in san francisco. it is not the most interesting project in san francisco going on at this time. the most interesting project is at farrell street and electrician paid for the two lights outside the building. i think they're out there today. in 1955 it was a tackle shop. in 1961 this is what the property looked like and part lawndy mat or a restaurant which i have never been to. in 1965 it turned into furniture store and i picked this up and "vacant glass and

drug dealers" and this must have been from last night. this must have been last week. and thises of 1985. some of us were in elementary school. unfortunately some of us must have grownup around the corner of a crack house of the elementary school and we were there at 630 and the appropriate time to come home from school. the girl, eight and ten years old and we were reading and smoking crack and she's coming out of the car and her father is trying to shield her from what is going on. luckily they have the decentacy to not see this. some of us might have grown up across the street and become a baseball player. some of us might have grown up

across the street from a crack house. >> thank you. ms. chapman. >> i am going to mention progress is being made with larkin. it seems the judge is still doing a process that i regard as pretty out of control, but it did have the result that she required, the lawyer who seems to be a stumbling block to what the mem difficulties would do to have a meeting with me. as a result that they invited tn dc or others to come forward with proposed and will during the following month will analyze the site further. i notice the architecture just wandered in and they feel they're safe from subpoenas. the subpoenas were a major problem to discuss this

matter further, so at this point having been invited they feel they can actually do the analysis, and then they will actually get into the church, and then we will learn whether it can be done or cannot be done and commissioner antonini says we don't really know but we will find that out and if it can't be done there is still a wonderful site for senior housing there. the housing chair was in there to say there is not a lot of sites in san francisco and this would be wonderful for that. she watched the tapes more than once and she felt we didn't get a good hearing and the process was rushed and she was going to do it better and frankly i don't believe that was true at all and you did take the time, and when you needed to you continued it and whether the eir was voted and maybe not the way some wished and the rational was

laid out by commissioner wu and supports this although they didn't look in the church's heritage and maybe if you got the letter you would have but it still made sense. sometimes things are done in a rush and something to think about like 1401 california. people testified and it was all confusing. deputy city attorney went in and out and got opinions and so on, and instead of doing a continuous and getting a chance to really study it, you took a vote without conditions and this is cbs and they wanted to sell liquor and the police are trying to hold the line at abc and that doesn't happen if
