represent of the ocean avenue organization the executive director of that cv d. as supervisor yee as point outed out this is in nucleus with this effort we're not trying to eliminate any business, in fact, we welcome businesses. but clustering even if businesses and type of businesses 20 don't work well, we have a lot of that actually. we think that 5 hundred feet is a good distance and we understand this is a temporary move that could be changed by further legislation at the supervisors and city's level this will help us maintain a balance more or less for the last 5 years. i've given you a position paper

the hoa as endorsed which spells out our position on the matter. if if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them. thank you >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors and land use. and good luck with this item that you do. because i'm stoned in love with city you. and i'm just a public comment man. doing everything the best the city can. and if i could i'd give the city word to you. then good luck to you. because i'm stoned in city love

with you. >> thank you. next speaker. . commissioner >> good afternoon. my name is a ms. james i'm a resident of engel side community i'm representing the o m i organization at this point. we're against this cannabis dispensaries in the o m i. one thing i've attended the ineptly side terrace meeting the other night and brought up the question there was more use of electrical equipment into some of the businesses which means they were growing marijuana or whatever need the business that may cause fire and others

hazardous situations. the other thing i've noticed the first one that came but we talked about the school district bow u but not you i'm concerned about the private schools next to the church and that was not included. the other thing we need more variety of businesses in our neighborhood. on that street we don't have a locate smith or hardware store and the other point it attracts other kinds of people to the community from other areas to come into that community where we have drug use around the community so i'll be opposed to that. we have a mental health clinic on this street at the what is it on saxon i'm concerned about some of the border care

homeownerships with the mental ill their attracted to the institutions wanted to sell marijuana. ? not a good thing on the businesses on ocean avenue. we need a lot of other >> thank you supervisor kim has a question. >> commissioner. so commissioner james. i had a question and maybe i don't want to speak for supervisor yee but my understanding with the legislation is that this would create on additional process for any new medical marijuana dispensary that wants to come to ocean avenue and the goal of the legislation i don't want to speak for the exit of the businesses being created it's not other businesses but is that

your understanding this will help reduce medical marijuana dispensaries. >> i understand one is in question and another organization is coming in and competing with the second spot. i'm saying to decrease both of them not have a second one we don't need a second one addressed so there's something wrong with the businesses in question of they're running the business >> so this legislation if it were existing today would prevent from one medical kirnd mire within 5 hundred feet even if each other so this legislation what it does will have the limitation of 5 hundred feet with each other. you're talking about specifically are it's a

situation where there's a new person that's coming in but that's not what what we are doing today >> okay. just because they have the discussion at ineptly side they wanted to take over this one and the one is fighting to stay there. >> so this legislation is different from that. >> all right. all right. thank you. >> any public comment on that item? on item one seeing none, public comment is closed. okay colleagues if there are no additional questions or comments would i have a motion to forward that to the full board. that will be the order >> thank you. madam clerk, call item 2 >> the resolution authorizing the rec and park department to

accept a grant up to one hundred and 50 thousands. >> president supervisor chiu chiu is the author i presume he's on his way down now. can you call the office? actually madam clerk why don't we have a quick item instead of item 2 call item 3 and we'll take item 2 next >> item 3 the resolution exempting certain locations from the police irregularity arcadia. >> i along with the supervisor breed are the co- authorizes it comes up when we discover outdated and odd code sections

and basically, what this b will do is allow self businesses one in supervisor breed's district and one in my that are attempting to expand and this he - we have a police code section that dramatically restricts arcadia games in neighborhoods districts by denying them as used babylon depending on on the square footage you can only have a small number of arresting can do games this goes back to the day with arcadia games led to no good behavior or something like that. we know there's a lot of great businesses that can use arcadia in creative ways.

so the plod code section allows the board of supervisors to eliminate that square footage limitation. and this this elective would do that with the neighborhood commercial district. so that will allow those businesses to install up to 10 arcadia games. the reason it can only gossip to 10 there's a different police section and other sections saying the arresting can do took place concern sections those are limit the number of arresting can do games citywide to 10. this will not impact that limit. i know that as supervisor breed's aid will mention we're working on legislation to deal with that so i want to bring up

mr. johnson from supervisor breed's office to add >> thank you chair wiener. i'm with the supervisor breed's office. i want to reiterate what the chairman said. the fundamental problem is the police code treats the arresting cads amazement as slot machines like in the 1930s. so supervisor breed is work with supervisor scott wiener and the police department working on the interim would ask for you to exempt one business in district 5 and okay. if there's no questions or comments we'll move to. i will say for the record i'll be offering a small amendment to item 3 specifically on the first page line 24 it currently states are more than 10 music sxiez

with up to that's a draft error in the resolution. any public comment on item 3 >> please fix this item the only game in town. in the city we're going to change fix the the only game in town game. wouldn't you wouldn't you. fix the game in the city in the arcadia in the game ambassador fix the the only game in town game. and in the item it's like a city at play on a sunny day we're going to come out out okay. it's the game, game, game and that is for the item plays a mean pinball. thank you >> thank you. any any public

comment on that item? on item 3 seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor kim >> thank you and i apologize mr. george but i have a quick question by the way, i support in legislation i want to know why you exempt 16 something walling in her exempting you were market transit district is there a reason not to go through an area plan. >> thank you sxrifr you're our office and supervisor wiener are working on a broader version in the interim we feel it will provide another exempt for the outreach. >> so in the long-term you're looking at a broader version. >> yeah, we'll be working with the planning code and police

code. >> i understand we need to move forward with this. >> he ultimate amendment will allow for more than 10 arcadia games as opposed to the current law restriction to 10. >> so colleagues the minor amendments can we have a motion to adapt that amendment. okay we'll take that without objection. the amendment is adapted and could i have a motion to forward to the full board with as a committee report >> we'll take that without objection. that will be the order. thank you, colleagu thank you, colleagues okay amy caan is here >> item 2 please and item 2 is a resolution authorized the rec

and park department to accept a grant. >> good afternoon xrifrz. supervisor chiu is in route to the committee meeting i'm going to start speaking on his behalf so supervisor chiu asked for the grant. and the resolution will allow the rec and park department to accept one $.5 million from the knob hill foundation to carry out the hill project there are representatives from the rec and park department that will be presenting but essentially the project entails the replacement of a children's playground and the hunting park to maintain a

wonderful park for the residents to enjoy and it's been driven by the committee members and volunteers and over the course it worked with rec and park department to get the scombut from our neighborhood and raise the funds for the implementation felt project. it's been a community effort. i'm going to ask abigail from the rec and park department to give more detailed presentation and the supervisor will be asking for requests for the resolution a little bit later >> okay. thank you very much. so rec and park now >> good afternoon.

i'm strongly opposed to putting a fence around the park and have a number of reasons so hopefully, the amendment will be >> adapted. >> adapted without the fence portion. so i'm assuming that is the thing and move this afternoon so i look forward to no fence around huntington park >> supervisor cowen has a - you mentioned you have many reasons against the fence state some. >> it would retain the aesthetics of the park it's welcoming and very relaxing for people who live in the city to have the open space. a if he has around it will put up a huge visible barrier and

say this is not a welcoming space the second reason it's not a historic part of the park for get 9 years it's not had a fence and not part of the original o original part. third not helping safety but putting up a visible barrier so people can't see what what's in the park so if someone wants to do ill will to someone in the park my daughter hangs out there a lot and i don't want her to get trapped inside. if you put up a fence there are concern exits are you have to escape through >> thank you very much. next speaker. mr. o'grady. >> thank you xhifrz the ceo of

the parks alliance. as you know every come up of years the parks alliance prudent persons our report we analyze the physical condition of every playground in the city and in 2012, the huntington park was raid a failing playground. the community has, however, since radical with the park alliance under the knob hill foundation. they've been working with a couple of years to raise the private few minutes for the playgrounds and continue to raise those funds. they intend to make this a gift and we support this project and the replacement of a failing playground with an organization playground. we're happy to see the move to set aside the issue the fence

middle of the street and luckily it wasn't hurt. i would like to show any support for the fence for safety and otherwise for the playground i'd like to say i'm no complete support i'm about to become a parent and i genuine the knob hill association after leon will this from the public notice at the park last year joined the association and have been helping to make decisions and give input to get the community involved like putting up facebook and bring everyone into the conversation from the neighborhood. thank you very much for your time >> thank you congratulations. >> thank you. >> next speaker and i have call another card

israel hernandez. >> i'm james i'm an architect and neighbor of the park. i returned from a lengthy project in texas i went through two days ago and was informed of this idea i'm a huge supporter because the playground is out-of-date and number two is the fence i think should think reinstated because number one the sharing off of that fence removed an important crown of the knob hill. had you look at the banning craft library project is tense is negotiates if the fence run states that vail that crown, if you will, it will do a great service to defining the park

making it safer and giving dogs a place to be that's contained. you don't want to make everyone who has an animal and the animal wants to be there with other but allowing those corners to be fenced-in that's a semiidea and benefits the knob hill idea i'm an expert in ashth architecture and something of that quality should be reinstated >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> hello good afternoon. i'm israel hernandez i live in knob hill i moved there 5 years ago. it's a beautiful are part of the city i'm here to support about dynamics of the fence i joined

the knob hill association because i wanted younger professionals to get more involved in the neighborhood and bring a sense for all different ages. i love the fact the community has been getting donations from private folks and it's great to see a playground for children i love the dynamics of this fence there's a lot of misinformation about the fence you can see there the event it's not at all and it's historical to a city it treasures the historical. and so i want to a lend my support happy to answer any questions >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> thank you supervisor wiener. i'm stan i'm a knob hill de
