people enjoying coffee twovrp work. >> commissioners that place you under your comment calendar and the public may talk about the jurisdiction of the commission expect agenda items. your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting. however, for items where the public comment is closed for item 9 for the 1111 california street of the certification of the environmental report this is your chance to address us. i have several cards >> (calling names). >> thank you for having -

allowing me to talk i'm david i'm a native san franciscan. i live with my family in effort hills a i have a b.a. from pennsylvania. my father was a ph.d. chemist and i helped to build the two family business in navel testing in 43 and a animal feed founded in 19051. we commenceed operation july 1st

and 1998 we bought vandyke and we bought vandyke and have and began renovating section a and it was completed in 2014. i'm speaking in opposition to a proposal that will be coming to you to create a homeless shelter on jennings street that is next to our navel laboratory. and we have mike traceers and micro biologists. we located on vandyke avenue because it was located for industry. when i decided to have it on the hill my father said it was

unacceptable. someone could sue us. the 4r5ish9 used explosive chemicals. i've dmrutd a packet of information a listing of all the chemicals we have under our housing management plan dated july 2012. we've never had a sorrows judicious u injury but we know sdrafr when we work with the expounds our employees useful body apparatus. we run forklifts and we have deliveries everyday and we're incapable with residents including the homeless shelter that's been proposed.

we've been good corporate citizens we're finishing improvements of our laboratories and this is endangered to build a homeless shelter >> sir, your time is up. >> i have packets of information can i leave them how many do you need. 6 or 7 >> we need 8 excuse me. 7. thank you >> perfect. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm robert davis i'm a dab resident. i'm appearing to oppose the baby shelter which would include a warehouse from p dr two.

this is a dangerous idea. the p d quote within the health and safety regulations and within the stipulation of this code which may have minimum and maximum distances from activities raw materials used for merchandising storage and sdprks may have hazardous or infallible materials. a reminder a fireworks lifted a warehouses completely off the foundation and burned a city block and it destroyed is park which is a few blocks away from brown. 7 or 8 people were killed and

more than 20 were injured and the blast industrialized 1 hundred and 25 arts studio. i ask you stop the cities loan that have a warehouse in the bayview and turn it into a homeless shelter >> thank you. >> okay. would it be possible to have the projector activated, please. >> okay good afternoon, commissioners i'm jonathan i'm a bayview resident. i'm here to talk about a rezoning project. this legislation will be for a

special use district it will come from the mayor's office and the department of human services and will be designed to 2115 germans as housing. the idea hero is to use a $1 million grant to house homeless. this location was chosen hurriedly. the organization that hopes to get the shelter already has a restaurant adjacent and much of the community believes this was chosen to reduce the consolidation for that contract. i'm going to speak about a specific issue and that's seismic hazard. when the p dr map was designed a

portion of the map related to discuss macro was fashioned on the zones. you can see on the left hand in green and on the right hand a map of p dr and the area was designed in part to useless those areas which are unsafe for housing. the planning department conducted a large and to her assessments and decided what doess. to keep the housing out. it would be disagrees to house one hundred indistrict folks. just because someone has a $100 million grant. people ask if a one hundred million dollars grant is enough

to change zoning on above the human services can anyone who comes up with a million dollars have a zoning chance and if the scoping meat what's the detailed of the studies that we do. oh, thank you for your time >> thank you. >> >> next speaker, please. >> is there any ail any public comment? >> linda chapman for knob hill. i did send in comments and my comments were principally about and jim miller also about the fact that something went

terrible wrong with the conditional use that was decided last year with no environmental review at all there was a review by you can't judge but another continual use was put forward saying this was temporary and therefore later we will do the eir but we'll lock off this piece and aisle i obviously be that required an initial study. and that piece having been chopped off was used as at the basis for this environmental review. this should have impelling back to the judge and tell me his order was being defiled. something was passed before that

increased the activity. i didn't get a chance to comment on traffic analysis. well at least they admitted there's no parking up there. ever since i've lived on knob hill the whole area would turn into a wash of traffic. fortunately, there's not very many but with your simon there will be. the things as to how their accommodating people that's american people area that's isolated transportation wise and from main highways and so on if you compare it to the regency. itself up in an area you can hear a pin drop and so-called there's an inflexion of people how do you get them out of the area if there are rock concerts

and no transportation. there are two buses lines one runs every half hour and the other 20 minutes. each bus takes 50 people so maybe you could move out about one hundred and 50 people an hour something like. there's also a 20 percent grade on the streets that they expect the parking grade people will use it's like high street coming up from the street where the cable car comes and you can't walk up and down that if you're in heels or been drinking >> is there any additional public comment? >> mr. president, and commissioners hello friends 234

in the audience. i'm jay i'm here to oppose 11 california. i sent in a letter you've probably all seen planning code interpretation. i think the environmental documentation adapt and restate all linda's comments and the other comments that came in oppositions including from the coalition of san francisco neighborhoods but the fundamental problem is the manner in which this case has been brought up. i don't come here but somebody asked me to take a look at the abc hearings i know what the department approved it was a number one conforming pale use

with no enlarge time. they're continuing to prosecute the abc license that's why i'm here poor abc license in every single interpretation has always said type 347 which needs a conditional use. you don't jump through the outcome they only have a conditional use of an exiting use of no immense indication of enlargement. so i looked at a little bit deeper. they're trying to get a conditional use you without looking at the special use district. those issues become important in a sequa matter because land use

impacts our sequa issues. in fact, that's why 2010 deck was thrown anti they forgot to consider the land use impacts so we know we need land impact uses because the judge said it once. if the special use district means anything 235 it means those are special district. they're trying to take the number one conforming conditional use and borrow from a neighborhood conditional use and make it a special use when it's not permitted on page 38 of the knob hill district. we bring it to your attention because we think the land use it

is not uses go properly >> any additional public comment okay public comment is closed. commissioner that will and places you under your regular calendar >> yeah, i'll have to recuse myself because the proper place ♪ my distance >> do i hear a motion. >> on the motion to rescuing commissioner (calling names) so moved, commissioners, unanimously 6 to zero. had commissioner item 9 for 1111

california ma sonic center please note that the public hearing on the draft is closed the draft dir ended and it's not up for comment. good afternoon. i'm bradywith the environmental planning section of the planning department. the item before you is a certification of a final impact reporter report or eir for 5555 california street for the renovation project which proposes to renovate the ground floor california room exhibition haul and carter kitchen allow 2 hundred and 50 folks and allow the ground floor seats to be removed from 1 hundred and 66 to

3 thousand 3 hundred patrons. the building capacity would not see change with the proposed project. a copy of the draft eir certification - excuse me. the copy is before you. the draft eir was published on september and it was held on may 23rd, 2013. the public comment was closed and it was described on october 31st, 2013. the valuation of the issues contained in the eir found the project will not result in any project significant environmental impacts and not have a impact on the environment. we request the commission adapt

the proposal and the procures for which the final eir was prepared for the sequa guidelines felt administration code. that concludes my presentation unless the commissioners have any questions. thank you >> thank you. >> commissioner moore. >> i'd like to ask the city attorney to comment on the public comment made by mr. wallace it raises a number of questions that the way beyond my ability to judge. i need guidance because that will greatly influence where we are with this project it's been difficult it's been about 4 years and it's in one group after the other 0 so i need your guidance >> the city attorney's office.

there were two issues raised one is the question of the non-conforming use and what when a was occurring before the 2012 permit and the second issue that mr. wallace raised was whether or not land use impacts were adequately analyzed in the eir and your staff can speak to that you kevin guy i'll be presenting to you the entitlement portions of the project but the issues raised by mr. wallace. it's been operating the center since the 1950s for the center for concerts and meetings and exhibitions etc. it's a legal non-conforming use inherit with the events the

center would often serve alcohol and food. my understanding is that historically individual promoters would seek permit from abc and several years ago applied for a type 47 so they could serve alcohol to the general public. the 2012 authorization on the center allowed the continues of the center as it operated in the past for events etc. so as part of the permit the commission established that alcohol has been part of the operation of the center and actually specifically authorized the continued operation of that specific function within the center. so even though the 2007 permit

was a means of allowing to continue the non-legal process during the research staff was able to establish that indeed historically alcohol l had been served to - so to seek a permit so individuals wouldn't have to get their own permit. the action before you today for conditional use would once again sort of memorialize allow and regulate the sale of acholic beverages at the center but historically it's a consistent pattern of alcohol being served and therefore not be in another

classification and is the project sponsors intent to only serve and open the boar it's not a general walk in bar >> that's correct. alcohol is served to aprons and it's not to open up a bar to the public. the knob hill district likewise eating and drinking uses with permits but this aspect has been operating and it's part of the overall non-conforming use >> commissioner we'll only talking about the certification of the environmental impact at this time. >> commissioner moore. >> i'm unable to support the

past particularly the interpretation of saying that the event by event permission is equal to a permanent liquor license. the impact of liquor in this neighborhood has been increasing more noble and it happens a few blocks away and it's an intermittence indication of use if it's a alcohol use in that facility. i don't recall in our previous actions we are that more listening to the neighbors and there was every on open door to say the one-on-one liquor approval is equal to having a liquor license. i remember distinctly what kind

of liquor and where it was served. i remember we were walking around and carrying champaign and having an increased number of bars serving hard liquor. so i node to put that to the record because i'm unable to move into disbursing this eir on an assumption. >> commissioner. >> yeah, well getting to the environmental impact a part of this decision. i believe one speaker made a point that we did do the conditional use to allow what had been a - it was legal and non-conforming and the permitting was done individually and we allowed that to continue

in 2012 but i guess the question is should there have an, an environmental piece done. i don't know if that's been done. it's not usually of other sites most notable the venetian room there was in new orleans but i don't know if they had to go through a environmental review i'm talking about the environmental appetites - piece that was raised >> i can't remember the environmental review we do but as far as this project and the eir the ma sonic is a general

use under operation and this was considered the eir - they were increasing the intensity of taking out the seats to make more room for more folks over 2 hundred and 50 people i forget 2 hundred and 15 events per year. the there per intensity of the masonic. and i >> it was to analyze the new situation what it will be in the slight there of the new participants and the other issues you raised. >> thank you, commissioner sarah jones environmental review officer just to further label.

in 2012 what was being sought was a tuition of exiting conditions. under sequa there's no delft as was mentioned so the environmental impacts associated with it are not being analyzed under the eir. as for the other venues on knob hill at some point they're seeking newland use approvals that will trigger under sequa >> commissioner hillis. >> just to clarify i'm comfortable that the sequa document it analyze the new

prototype use of the intensity but i'm assuming that one was there was some environmental review. >> i didn't there were no impacts. it was under sequa and that's what i wanted to clarify >> yeah. i've read over the eir i'm comfortable with that. has been pointed out we're analyzing the there and impact from what the exiting impact whether it be the impact prior to 2012 but the prior impact remained the same we only allowed the existing usage so there was nothing new environmentally. now we've seen a slight intense

indication we have a document that's been thoroughly done and i'll move to certify the eir >> second. >> commissioner on that motion to certify the environmental impact report (calling names) so moved, commissioners, that motion passes 4 to one with commissioner moore voting against. commissioners that will place you on item 10 for case 4013 request for authorization. >> good afternoon. i'm kevin. the request is a conditional request that changes the knob hill
