supervisor breed believes this is a global economy and there's no way to limit the domestic market. especially with the rise of commerce and the internet. any argument in favor of the retail formula control for domestic locations applies just as equally were why would it motivator if we have retailers in vancouver. the rent it can pay or the diversity or lack through are products don't change because some of the stores are

- large are corporations are to circumvent by creating a new name or buying a small retailer. this is not fair to the small business owners in the phase valley. the diversity or lack of their products don't change simply because it changed its name. a formula retailer by any name

is still the retailer. we're only asking to reflect the reality. this is an ongoing city discussion. we're part of that conversation and want supervisor breed for the fillmore district will likely reflect some of the products of this legislation. but this legislation is not part of that legislation. it's not part of the citywide implementations. we this that retail has its place in the city. this is targeted to a specific community for the community. it's refinancing of the existing formula of retail ban and we felt this is a choose and this choose is one for the valley that's best for them. the whole point is to provide

tailor planning codes that reflects the needs of that specific community and the valley wants this legislation on their behalf and i ask you please respect the will of the community and pass this legislation >> great. thank you very much. commissioner comments? >> i want to thank supervisor breed for bringing this up in hayes valley. it's a little hole in the lengths. and, you know, things have changed over the years since when the formula retailer planning code was brought in. we have a lot of situations that doesn't exist a number of years ago. so you know, i think that it's something we should support and i personally would like to see

it good citywide at some point >> commissioner. yeah. i agree and i appreciate your explaining this clearly. it's not to be a ban on recollection alone but it in matter in the muscle is domestic or international. and i think it's very important we protect some of those shall we call them delicate neighborhood systems that are locally operated enterprises. i support them myself wholeheartedly. >> commissioner. >> just i agree with the idea that when you, you know, have a domestic it seems to me it

should apply internationally as well. i said in your presentation the original legislation did include international so somebody very deliberately did something there >> well, the original legislation said 11 outlet or 11 stores. it meant anywhere. and because you don't think so i don't know what happened it just said in the u.s. it just had that particular line to it. which i think in 2004 almost 10 years ago it wasn't the same kind of global market. we've noticed in hayes valley they're getting international attention they're in a japanese magazine and spain they're

getting this kind of attention. so we're seeing those large corporations coming in and targeting hayes valley because it's so popular. but i don't know why that particular line was included in this legislation in 2004 >> commissioner dwight. i suspect it was done and it was clarified incorrectly. but i want to add that i personally opened a tip buck too story and it's become a jewel of a shopping neighborhood it's mentioned in danger patch and some of the other neighborhoods this san francisco. it's clear those micro hoods have become some of the major tourist attractions so i think

we should agree those are important >> i would agree with the commissioner dwight. i thought it was worldwide because i was involved in the discussions and i thought it was worldwide >> is there this going to be like agent retail they have to go through c u. >> no, it's a ban. >> and what kind of you outreach do you have. >> well, we've been in discussion with the hazing association and the hayes valley neighborhood association and the surrounding community and lower hate. we've talked with the chamber of commerce. so we've had those discussions with various groups and mainly our direction has come from the

hayes community and resident >> and their in favor of it? >> yes and there are a few of them here today and a commissioner. >> i first want to say i definitely agree we need to shore up the hayes project. and what kind of position do we - you know, worldwide but maybe, you know, like there's some amazon wants to open a brick and mortar in hayes valley how do we prevent them? >> no, but we maybe here again, you may see our face. >> director. >> well, to that commissioner i think our earlier presentation

unfortunately, we were not able to disengage engage in a conversation but their combaemgd in doing a reassessment around retail. this is kind of the beginnings. we're seeing a lot of different supervisors offices bryan forward different pieces of legislation regarding formula retail that's tailoring to the districts. but i think again the way that retail is happening to that and to the fact that we do even for our small manufactures are launching online and what does that mean and if their represented in 11 stores that are formula retail stores but they have products represented what see that mean. this is a beginning discussion we need to have and i'm appreciative that the planning department is going to start

that decision and we will be part of that ongoing discussion as things are moving forward. so just to add to that comment. so - >> commissioner dwight. >> and i think many of the online only plays have subsequenti subsequentially remunerated in pop up shops or permanent ones as those retailer know that people can touch and feel what they can over and to created a valuable to their online experience. i hope we'll hear a further discussion of this. ultimately, the spirit is to preserve the individuals

retailers and the small invent businesses. whether their physically located in multiple spots or have a big financial maples to throw their weight around so great >> commissioner. >> the legislation as it is presently is it a nature out right ban on formula retail? >> for hayes valley? >> the city. >> no, this is just hayes valley. >> is there an out right ban on retail they can't go through the initial use. >> it's a been ban. >> right now they have a moratorium on a ban. instead of being national it goes international >> okay. >> any other commissioner comments before we open it up

for public comment? seeing that do we have public comment on item number 7 >> mr. commissioner i have 3 public speaker cards. any additional members of the public you may fill out a card. the 3 speakers i have (calling names) >> line up and you'll have 3 minutes each. and i'm sorry if i butchered your name. >> i'm the president of the hayes valley retailer association. thank you for out lynn what we want to accomplish. when we addressed the retail

plan we didn't fully grasp it the valley would be such a global demand business neighborhood so we're here to understand and recognize the economic factor based on small retailers like myself. compared to global companies that have much more financial status than i do. this is important to protect our small business community but to protect a very educate thing we in hayes valley have accomplished in taking a neighborhood that was empty storefronts and making it now what is globally as one of the best shopping districts in all of san francisco. and you have in your packet a

couple of photo imagines through the japanese fashion and design magazine doing a whole tribute to we love america and they talk about the mission. and it's a cultural neighborhood. the only other shopping center in the city is hayes valley. we have 15 small businesses featured in this magazine. key for me is protecting this uniqueness we have going on in hayes valley. and we have such a draw on tourist when they come to our city and see the swiss croppers is why are we here. we want them to see only those who are individual unique

businesses supporting our local economy and local artists as i do through my store. the next formula is on filling street a k5i7bd store called poppa bubble. it's the next wave of intrusion this is here to erode our protection we need this ban >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon and thank you very much for the opportunity to speak. i'm the proprietor of two businesses buying books. we'll be here two years in october. when i was looking for a place to open my busy said a community

that was built with both the mentor and businesses together. a way to take care of the people in my community. i think that the most important thing is to feed people. and i found it community in hayes valley i reached out to russel regarding the location before putting down a lease because i wanted to become a part of the community that my business and i could glossogrow with. i choose to open there and. i think that the amended ordinance at hand goes to the heart of what we're talking about with the formula retail ban. the desire to preserve in san francisco a space for individual sole proprietorships.

i can food my rent but it's not possible if i parking meter with a number of much more infinitely popular organizations. in addition maintaining and that is important you have a lot of neighborhood locals that hang out and one of the things i've heard as resident of the community we need the services that can be provided should be provided at a southern price point. we need a laundromat and those are not largest organizations that can parking meter with large organizations. this is what our residents need. when i i was co- chair of the organization they kept asking me to speak to the landlords.

and so we have space for both residents and mentors to create a heath community. it helps my resident prop values and helps our businesses that we maintain a unique neighborhood and it's a draw and to the mentors and the residents. this is very, very good for all of us my regulars and merchants >> i've have had the principle of working with the neighbors and merchants and supervisors who worked together to write the ban. to your point the beauty of this

is neighborhoods can opt in with different levels what i think are pretty observe reasons. today, i'm here to thank supervisor breed and brown for their responsiveness in hearing our concerns about the doughnut holes r that have opened up and a coming up with the fixes. we know that clearly things have changed here and you do have to make fixes every now and then to make things operate as they were originally intended. as russel was able to speak for the merchant community the hayes valley association very enthusiastically supports those change to keep the integrity of

the ban into effect in hayes valley. i was delighted to hear your comments you get the issues and understand what our concerns are and why hayes valley has been at the forefront in this fetter and we hope that we can just keep it current with all the challenges we face so it retains effective as originally intended thank you very much >> thank you. >> any other members of the public wish to make a comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> so first of all, i want to thank the 3 of you for coming out. it's so important and i like to say this that you're concerned by coming here.

it's not just what we do it's a team sport and if the merchants and small business owners don't show up here we don't have the credibility when it comes to making a recommendation we're just recommending into the air. i think we've seen over the last several years and very recently especially in matters that relate to parking and other issues in some you thought neighborhoods that the merchant associations and the neighborhood organization have activated themselves. it make this so much more important. the office of small business owners has not been around very long by it's starting to get a lot of credibility with the supervisors and i coming here

today representing the supervisors in their effort. they care enough to come out and ask our opinion. to keep the circle growing and thank you for coming out today >> commissioner. >> i want we've heard this reinforced the hayes valley formula shall we say of having only independent businesses work. you guys are in the top for local and international tourists everyone comes down here. your model is a great one and i'd love to see it moving forward into other small neighborhoods and keep that variety. let's not kill the goose.

people come to us to see individuals, you know, lovingly operating their own businesses. >> i think those restrictions and bans reinforce the not insignificant jobs but it validates. i want the pizza place was going going in across the street some small business owners survived. it doesn't seem right that pioneers in the neighborhood stuck it out.

to mention that very act that moving into the neighborhood and changing the balance will change the nature of the neighborhood and it will be done the goose that ladies the golden egg it preserves the balance >> do we have any he recommendations commissioners. >> i move to support this legislation. >> i second. >> anyone else? >> i have a motion to recommended the board of supervisors file 1386 friday morning the commercial district recommending approval to the board of supervisors that motion was move forward and seconded. on that motion for a roll call

(calling names) commissioners that motion passes. great very much and thank you for attending we really appreciate it. necklaces item >> that item number 8 which is discussion and possible action to make recommendations to the board of supervisors on board of supervisors file number 130712 which is a resolution not an ordinance. formula market stores this is a resolution imposing controls for formula retail services on market street for 18 months finding with the consistency

planning code and the environmental finding. commissioners in our file is the board file number and the legislature digest. hello, welcome. >> this is a discussion and possible action. >> good afternoon. first, i want to say that supervisor kim wants me to emphasize the fact that she values and respects the commission championship for small business owners throughout san francisco. you know the reason that she presented the reds before you could i is exactly for the reasons the same reasons you've all been talking about. trying to make sure in this kind of david and goliath battle you need the local businesses

they're not trampled by the corporate muscle. and the krorpgsdz and institutions that have so much financial wherewith all it's hard for a small business owners to compete. we're talking about central market. you're all aware this is a district that an area that is in a state of major fluctuation. there are major retion if there's and we want to make sure that with all the development and 33 hearsay units coming online there's space for the city to really think about what kind of businesses and what kind of character should this neighborhood have it's becoming a try neighborhood a true residential neighborhood.

we want to make sure that there's time for the city to be looking at what kind of neighborhood in san francisco. and that's the purpose for those intermediate controls. it doesn't cover all types of retail. it specifically addresses the financial and the fringe financial businesses such as a check cashing and restaurants and chain restaurants as well as chain limited restaurants which includes coffee shops. and it also addresses pharmacies. so and so those are the businesses we're concerned with. we want to make sure they don't muscle aside the locally operated businesses that we want to attract.

we ladder to answering any questions i have. we'll be making some amendments today during land use to make sure it's specific about the kind of establishments we want to address. we had a number of small business owners and folks we reached out that are here today but they're all at land use that unfortunately conflicted with this meeting >> thank you commissioner. >> from what i've beenrd about it is limited. >> correct. >> to was it going on there, you know, it is mid market. it's going to a renaissance big time renaissance. i have no problem supporting this as it is and the types of uses that are going on there. i underd
