the birth challenge we face and that's the population is accesss our services is housing. the need for a spectrum of let the record show housing is a real necessity. there are so many resources out there for people who don't identify as lgbt q. there are people dealing with substance you abuse and african-american and people dealing with domestic violence. there's only one place of access for lgbt adults and we need more than that because there's a lot of challenges that arises with this population. i have people coming to me who are being hoorsz from shelter
11:31 pm
staff and made to use restrooms that they don't want to. a lot of times the staff is unable to or unwilling to assist with the lgbt resources. and there's a lack of inclusive. and many of the shelter - it's my sincere hope that the delores shelter program is supported not just fiscally but as a community as a whole. this is a huge need for the lgbt population especially for our
11:32 pm
young folks >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello like charles i'm a case manager at the lyric. i appreciate you taking the time to discuss the lgbt homeless shelter is so critical. many of the people have addressed this issue so i'm going to keep it brief. one of the main things i think we'll see the lgbt community benefit through this shelter is supporting a staff that's familiar to ronald to issues that the lgbt community face. when we have a staff that's trained to respond to issues of violence and harm reduction as well as deescalation we'll see
11:33 pm
many of the young people and adults that will be seeing people transition to long term hoosiers connections. like was said the shelter takes one to four most to get into. when new lgbt q folks are coming into the city which is happening regularly in order for them to engage in the shelter they can show up at 9:00 p.m. and only a few folks will get in so those folks are showing up at the shelter as sort of a last
11:34 pm
option to air-conditioned another 25 beds to house folks is going to be huge for us as case managers when we're struggling to refer our participants to save housing. so again, we appreciate you're taking the time to consider this issue and we at lyric ask you to support this. thank you >> thank you i'm going to call more names (calling names). >> good afternoon president fong and commissioners. i'm the shelter manager for the program. on top of that i'm a native san franciscan born and raised here and would here my whole life. i'm here to express to you guys
11:35 pm
this is long overdue in the city. obviously there's a need here and the lgbt q folks are living on the streets and barely accessing other shelters and feeling uncomfortable and it's not only our duty to do this by the correct thing to do. i'm confident as both the manager of the program and as a san franciscan they will continue to do quality work. please take into consideration and thank you for your afternoon >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm francis and i'm here to lend my support to the delores facilities extending the amen
11:36 pm
amount of beds. i do know what it's like to be transgender male and it's quite dangerous for members of my community. simply going to the shower or bathroom could mean bad thing. i want to encourage you to approve extending 24 more beds for delores street. thank you >> thank you. >> (speaking foreign language). >> i'm going to translate for
11:37 pm

11:38 pm
folks. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is jose. i'm a volunteer at the delores street services. i'm going on my third year. i volunteer at the office and been at the shefrments, too, and i wanted to reinforce way you've heard. as was told thirty to me at other shelter they were harassed and made to not feel welcome and they told me that's why they preferred to come to delores they felt safe, welcomed and respected. and as a volunteer myself i'm going on my third year i too
11:39 pm
feel respected, save and a welcome. i hope you'll - i think it's nothing more than basic humanity and it upholds what san francisco is known for a sanctuary city >> any additional public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. >> commissioner moore. >> the best way for me to acknowledge what's been said is not to say anything but move to approve (clapping). >> commissioner borden. >> i want to thank everyone who's worked so hard and this is shocking to know we don't have other than we don't have for
11:40 pm
adults she felt for lgbt community members. i'm dump founded at this so anything we can do. so thank you. >> commissioner yu. >> i want to echo those comments. it shows that all people from all walks of life come together and that's what it takes >> i'm very much in support. this is a wonderful project. as pointed out almost all of the participants would be characterized as homeless. but i think it's important that the shelter westbound combined with social services and it
11:41 pm
sounds like that's the case those who are working in the shelter have job training and have health care and food. they have whatever their needs are and i think it's important that dllz street is going to be able to help people to become self-sufficient in the future and i'm sure that's what's going on. i think it's important that the two things working in the concert so that we use your day hours as well as is the evening hours of housing >> commissioner. >> thank you and thank you to you all the folks who testified. once in a great while and very rarely are there times when you
11:42 pm
feel good about voting for something. it's quite different than some routine matters we have. it's acquit different than voting for high-rises. sorry to the land use attorneys (laughter) in any case it's one of the rare times for all of us to be able to assist in this small way because we just are here for the last, however, any, you know, hours but given the amount of time put into this by other people is what it is about. the architect of this project the former commissioner allen
11:43 pm
martinez (clapping) >> commissioner. >> just to echo those words. there's great merit for this. we've seen condo projects after condo projects and to recognize there's other projects in itself city. maybe a question for the human services department. on i think it's important to understand how beds are signed and where and how long do people stay. what's itself turnover, you know, we're bound to see those in the future >> again scott. in the adult emergency system itself has bedded are available we over them for 90 days with an
11:44 pm
extension of thirty days. it would be released for one night beds we have atkins the 90, thirty beds. the way beds are assigned one of the clients can go to one of our sites to wherever there's an vacancy. we're looking to improve that. we're working with 311 so we'll be able to expand their involvement in making shelter reservation and making the access to the 90, thirty beds more uniform and equal across disability, gender and so forth. so we currently have the changing system in place but we
11:45 pm
hope to expand to include a call in service of 311. >> thank you. >> i wanted to make a comment. i think it's important to have the space for shelter like this. obviously you explained the programming and the services that are provided what make it work. you know, my sort of dream is san francisco is filled with energy and innovation. we see people step from all walks of life to help this. i'm hoping that the supervisor is working on this and san francisco what move up and it's the compassion in this room that's the key. so i'm obviously in support.
11:46 pm
commissioner moore and a just one final comment i hope that the passage of 181266 will further hope to support what the city and state can do. >> on that motion to approve with conditions (calling names) so moved commissioners that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero (clapping). >> congratulations to you hearing for thursday august 14th and when spanking before the commission please do state your name for the record. commissioners we left off on fern a and b for case numbers.

11:48 pm
thousand square feet of office space and will include 12 bicycle parks spaces and 5 car share parking spaces speaker the prevention so is designed with one private court yard and one private. since the packets the department has received a total of 3 comments on the proposed project. one supported neither way and another comment was on the traffic analysis as well as on say rooftop equipment and a third member talked about the project design. copies of this correspondence has been provided to you. after analyzing all impact the department is consistent with the project in the overall

quality to be surrounding with the character. within the mixed use office zoning district as of july 2012 there's approximately 2.2 million office space allocation. the project represents an allocation of 7 percent of the large office space. the authorization of the office space will allow four new businesses in the area which b will attribute to the office businesses in the area. this concluded my presentation and i'm available for any questions. thank you. project sponsor please. >> okay waiting for the time to pop up. good afternoon president fong
11:50 pm
and members of the commission. i'm jim rubin and we're working with the project sponsor. before addressing the project itself i believe this is the first occasion that kilroy has had to come before your commission. they've been active in the city and have done a lot of projects. there's another one after the alice and there's another kilroy project. if you look at the overhead i've put on that overhead a graphic that shows you the building that kilroy has acquired in the last two, 2 1/2 buildings. they've have not had to come here but they've done a lot of work. by the way, example that's where
11:51 pm
pact 12 as ronald and it's something of a media building. 333 brandon is before you and thirty 1 is next door and the lieutenant is in that believe. 100 first street is not an attractive building but it's been completely repositioned and the lobby is redone and it's better today. 350 mission is a high-rise building that's been 1 hundred percent lease to sales force and seven hundred and 40 thousand feet and that plaza been redone as well. and anybody knows this is a tremendous improvement. i'll remember who's in there on
11:52 pm
a break. 333 brandon is exactly the building that the eastern neighborhoods called for the architects were called to look at that and you essentially suggested in 2345089 when eastern neighborhoods was adopted. in the last couple of weeks we've had our first comments from john who's here and i'm not sure he'll be up here talking about his issues and concerns. i don't characterize them as opposition by as an effort to modify the building for purchases heel describe by in showing you the building we've ask our architect to address some of the issues ahead of time. i'm going to turn it over to my colleague. we're all here the earners and
11:53 pm
architects to answer questions >> thank you jim and welcoming welcome back from lunch. thank you very much to the commission. and i'm thanking you for working with us. our gratitude for the staff. and thank you to kilroy reality who was which one this project to create an "x" last year project. kilroy has been in my practice we think of ourselves as a leader but kilroy has been a leader in front of the lead they care about the environment. as a matter of fact they were recognized recently because the
11:54 pm
energy star protocol that they manage has an overall rating of 55, 50 being the average perform and 75 being good. i want to thank the entire team. they'll put together an incredible team. and i'll go through that. the building really recognize its place. wow. that's red. that's a little bit more red. the building really recognize the neighborhood and the brick character. what kilroy seeks to do a building that is context.
11:55 pm
they own the building to the left and are collaborating with the building on the right to mix this together and to heal that part of the neighborhood that's simply a parking lot. it was also expressed there's one of the interpretations of the bay window is on the corner of the project shows the bay window turning the corner in a san francisco way. the site was identified as occupied under utilized by some buildings this serve at&t and it's a parking lot currently and popular it has an internal property line that wraps around the south and west side. this interior property line a little bit more clear in our package is a limits the
11:56 pm
opportunity for glagz. we're anticipating a window agreement with the 55 property owner to the bottom of the drawing that will allow us to get additional windows on the right-hand side. the open space - so this is the same plan showing the roof. the occupied roof space is in yellow and there will be a garden on the roof space to increase habitats for butter flies in the city and to gather rainwater. the two educational gardens are on the ground floor on brandon street. we exceed the requirements on
11:57 pm
those spaces alone. their functioning at grade. the court yard will be part of the sequence. the site slopes 7 feet approximately from brandon street down to stanford street with that p a 65 feet limit of being efficient with our loading dock but craft lee fully putting in an english basement. it benefits from that court yard from the lottery level up to the sky to get daylight deep into that plan. so that slopes makes it a split-level building on stanford street. so on brandon street we have 7
11:58 pm
foot retail space colored yellow on the gene and further back we're a split-level so the grade goes from high to low. one of the innovations that was put forward is would we put retail on stanford street but it would be challenging for the retail but we'd lose twice the amount of space because it would top two floors. we think that brandon is a great opportunity for retail and a stanford we've optimized for room and it would be challenging to insert a space there that would be assessable from the sidewalk. as asked for in the eastern
11:59 pm
neighborhood there is vital it and life. we have a place for parking benches and is retail is in back of that. this plan shows the terrace level with that open space in green and then the open space on brandon in green and the current location on yellow that activates that court yard it's about enough space for a small retail or restaurants. we anticipate food service so we're going to accommodate egresses hoods. the brandon street court yard is seen as a way to enter the
12:00 am
building quietly. we're creating an opportunity for the building to increase air and light from the windows. it's a nice public space there. there's no art required in the district but art is an important part of the culture so you see the type of art we imagine visually seeing. the working place is about 35 thousand square feet and we'll put the mechanic space across the street and this is the level that has the terraced. the facade is primarily brick without the windows. with a highly tuned exterior skin for
