11:39 pm
sxhorn. commissioner matsuda. commissioner pearlman. commissioner wolfram and president hasz so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 6 to zero and places you on your final agendized item the certified local government annual report, review and comment >> good afternoon, commissioners tim fry department staff. i'm here to present just a few highlights from the c l g annual report in your packet. i'm sure you're aware of this is a requirement for the department the period covered by the annual report is october 2012 to september 30th, 2013. after the commission has
11:40 pm
reviewed the report then we'll afford a the final draft in compliance with our agreement were i apologize for the templates that is something the state give us in modifying it but i want to point out a couple of things to you that i thought were of interest and based on our conversation earlier this conversation talk about the goals and if there's anything else we want to audio. over the reporting commission we've reviewed 24 applications for appropriateness and 12 for major permits to alternate. at the staff we reviewed 37 alternates so i think it's safe
11:41 pm
to is the delegation is going well, and it's made a positive impact outstanding on our backlog without the notification and the hearing process that's required for most of those preservation requirements. one of the things that's of interest is our sequa referrals there were 2 hundred and 60 restless to the historic preservation team who their potential impacts to the resources. of those 2 hundred and 60 we had to prepare some information on 2 hundred and 15. it's safe to say that's the lions share of our process open a day to day basis. i mentioned we are looking for ways to simplify and a
11:42 pm
industrial that process to address those numbers their going up and the referrals telephone number continue to increase. the next item i want to bring to your attention is starting on packages 14 and 15. this is a renotify of the inventories that have been adapted and you adapted the sunset district and the statement. we just started working in this reporting period on a neighborhood commercial building statement and we're knuckling a survey as part of the c l g grant. the center selling mar it is largely complete the eir is underway and we'll bring it for your prevail shortly. as you know we're initiated the
11:43 pm
community outreach and the engagement on the african-american statement that's still underway. there are still several context statements through the historic preservation committee and we have a role in adapting those statements and basically certifies them to use them as a planning tool and recognize them as a preservation document and planning tool that meets requirement. we have a number of those in the pipeline. you've heard about a couple of them there's a go d historic context statement and a resident context statement and there's a eureka valley context statement we've having had some
11:44 pm
conversations with the sponsors. the central corridor survey i mentioned with a context statement but we have a culture landscape survey that looks the areas between the historic buildings designated at the national and state level and other pieces of the infrastructure that role to the significance of civic center we'll bring that to you hopefully by the end of the fiscal year. and then finally i wanted to review last year's goals and how the department buildings we achieved either in full - achieved fully the goals or a impartial i'm liking packages 23
11:45 pm
and 22. one of the goals was to increase local participation and you approved or gave a positive recommendation for 10 contracts which is the most we've ever seen at one time. those were approved by the board unanimously and will be reflected in the next annual report. the second goal to have tools for entitlement improvement. and in response to the high volume i'm sure you're aware of we've hired a number of preservation itself and we have a staff of 17 soon so i think it's one of the largest preservation teams in the country that's completely supported by the work and certainly the delegation has helped to industrial those projects in a timely fashion. other city agency to formalize
11:46 pm
the photocopy procures for the alternates of c of a once again we hire the new preservation person withhold to hire by the end of this month to get things done and next is the community participation. i think the one - probably one of the best ideas we've had over the past couple of years is our former that community person there are 4 ambassadors and they go to meeting and answer code questions for the public either at the sunday streets or other feed back and we've seen a successful way to engage the community certainly about
11:47 pm
preservation one of the most interesting or talked about posters or graphics are unusual the landmark posters and sometimes, people are sproiptd to see which buildings are designated within their community. we're very much active in the preservation history and we'll be participating in the history x 0 to in march. finally, the last goal for the previous reporting year was to seek funding for design guidelines to address the secretary of interior standards. over the past summer we've had two inheritance working deliberating on the literature review and assessment of our existing guidelines whether
11:48 pm
their preservation related or not and excitedly that information so we can sunday evening funding to move that process forward. so we'll certainly report back to you as a evolves and develops. there will be a large role for this commission and public on how we approach any interpretation of those guidelines. at the bottom of package 3 subdivision e are the goals for the folsom year i'm going to read them off quickly so if you have any feedback or you can reasonably give us ideas we'll include them. to continue our mills sack program. we decided to do this year that worked very well last year is to promote how to clinics in local district.
11:49 pm
last year, we went to the landmark district but this year we're going to target the dog patch and find a location and partner with a local neighborhood group and walk through them through the plan. the second goal is to initiate public and commission review of the draft element in participation of the sequa analysis. i mentioned this during the rose. we're seeking funding in the budget to initiated and rise the plan so we're open to adding any comments you may have. the third goal is to refine the environmental review process to provide industrial process for hifkz processes. four is to develop innovation
11:50 pm
efforts and the next is to address the secretary of standards that's a carry-over from last year >> what was number 4. >> it's the community participation. it's a invasive issue. that includes the report it's been a active year two landmark district and 3 individual buildings the first district since 90 - 903 so thank you.
11:51 pm
>> who are the four ambassadors. >> four folks. >> are you dividing them up by quadrants. >> no susan is part of our survey team and gregariously even is there and tina tim heads up the plan for all environmental review all of them can answer any planning questions but the hope it the quantity questions could be answered we rich. >> thank you. commissioner wolfram >> did it mention the webbed and a we're going to keep working on it and definitely will bring that back to you. >> could that be one of the
11:52 pm
goals. >> certainly. >> commissioners, anything else. commissioner pearlman and does that website include a list of outline historic buildings in san francisco >> everything you possibly want to know. >> that's one the great things people find out about their landmark if you could go to one place if you live in san francisco or are violinist and that's one great point that's one on element of the things posted under sfgovtv. we want to launch that with the prejudice >> commissioner hyland. >> is there a requirement in the c l g for the commissioners to have training. i would aware of it and when i
11:53 pm
first read it i probably could give the training and luckily i went through and found a little bit. but - >> it it - >> it's something by the need to think about. >> it's strongly recommended that all commissioners receive training to we very specific qualifications assigned to each seats so its probably for jurisdictions that don't have requirements in terms of preservation and the standards. in talking with president hasz and commissioner wolfram we are looking into formal training for that the commissioners on one of the form topics this year and hopeful that will address that
11:54 pm
requirement. we're looking into the department to help sponsor the training but anytime you attend a workshop for preservation that will allow us to up to date the matrix faster >> any questions or comments from staff. any any public comment? >> this is informational. so if that's it. we're in adjournment you, you know, we got a huge stack of papers there's nothing we can do we've tackled this many times this particular agenda had a vast amount of reading and now i'm thinking and
11:55 pm
there's a comparison you weighed in on >> i don't know if there's any way we have to distribute it. >> you can't technically right it's a public correspondence that's being provided to you, however, we've discussed this we'll be bringing your rules and regulations in this document you can provide guidelines for correspondence and submittals to the commission and can give temps for you to provide or voices the public that if you do receive it by a certain amount of time then not to be considered. >> we've done if repeating in the past and you've seen where that gets us. >> right - but.
