my understanding is i haven't seen the legislation but it was briefly subscribed that probability accommodates what we were getting at but the earliest will be tomorrow morning and get back to robin assuming those changes were made 10 telephone graft hill dwellers will not and a have at about objection >> for clarification you wanted to know about the clarification. >> to have a quorum i suggested the term public forum prior to submission to the board where the decision making department public works or planning will have a representative who's working on the project listens

eileen to pmdz. >> thank you very much. i'd like to direct it to the city attorney. mr. weber you're going to get our question swrz >> from the sfoofs i'll bring up the amendments but the nose provision adams the tenants e attendance within 3 hundred feet of the plaza will receive notification and all the neighborhood organizations that want to get the notification to be on the alloys low receive notice for the city plaza that is under the real estate jurisdiction there's a new requirement they need to throwing an additional notification process to announce the public forum for the proposal so i think that's a way

to respond with the request to include the provisions amongst others. >> thank you very much. thank you. next speaker. and i have 3 more cards (calling names) sorry you have a public comment, sir. okay. were you - >> oh, okay. great. >> good afternoon 3 agenda items for me to speak on. in regards to the plaza program i think the mayor's office woechltd or entertaining the many questions i had with the coalition of san francisco neighborhoods. i have very much appreciated the change in notification requirements through going there

to process of the planning department i'm not sure if part of the vesting would include something like a preoperative notification or this is a part of the planning process that would help the neighborhoods get together with the nonprofit stewards. so that's all i have to say thank you very much >> thank you very much. >> next speaker >> supervisor dennis. thank you so much for holding the hearing i want to particularly thank robin and ken for the responsive way they've dealt with public concerns. the most important thing when this legislative camped it can have read city plazas would have houses for profit making businesses like formula retailer

businesses and that was the probability the most major concern that people had when this legislation came forward and by providing those plaza accept the extraordinarily circumstances to be zoned as open space they have a zero type limits on what can happen and on the street plaza that was never an ability to build the structures they would have been prohibited, and, secondly, was a big concern about the programs in some of the cities public assess has been restricted up to 10 months a year in new york and this has been written there's 8 events a year to close to free access to the public so over 3

hundred and involving days a year the public will have unfettered access which is a concern for public land and the restrictions of the 8 days and set up and clean up time would have to be spread throughout the year that makes it even better in terms of public access. lastly there's concern about an ambiguities in the charter we could have one the rec and park land and ken and robin have amended the legislation to make it very clear this doesn't apply to rec and park department so all in all the improvements elective is very major and really improve it greatly >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker,

please >> hi i'm james i represent the festival i want to say i agree with robin it would be great to have more events in public spaces and the amount of the process makes it difficult to use the for events because a lot of vice presidents are involved this will help to coordinate this in the underutilized in more vibrant neighborhoods so thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker. . >> good evening supervisors and thank you, ken and robin for putting this together i'm lynn the executive director for the concert series the pay any attention mission so 0 activate

space that niece actuation because it's new. it cuts down the permit process and it kits down the process for community groups and other kwafrts to present events and more events will be put down on if the process is simplified >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i'm the streets and skriept process for the improvement district and speaking on behalf of the this go legislation i have had two meetings so we're happy to be here. i'm not going to speak on specification i wanted to give a shout out to robin they've been especially to work with in creating a vibrant san francisco through the vibrant public

spares this is an enabling legislation reducing barriers for liveable vibrant public is that a we need this obviously, we have plaza within our jurisdiction but it's great for the city in terms of a gateway to san francisco and creating a prospective as a clean and safe and attractive discount area that's our focus where it's vibrant there are sociology and health benefits and shouldn't be lost in the benefits of the public spaces. and as we can plaza is in need of basically, it is not working or functioning well, we're looking at legislation that

creates plazas that are underutilized to well-used for san franciscans and visitors. so we hope you support this legislation we appreciate our time as well >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening supervisors i'm steve with the san francisco parks alliance we're you're going you go u you to support this legislation that helps to streamline the process for plazas we're currently partnering with the city with our pavement to parks and very excited to have this additional space for perm or permanent spots. there's a strong need to the 40 in the city more housing created and along with that the need for

new gathering places and there's also a need to repurpose much of the extra land area that's in dpw or center street right of ways that can be used to creates new spaces. the plazas program and the street parks and our pavement to parks helps to get people engaged it's got great outreach for the community design and implementation of the spots along with the stewardship and we have over one hundred and 40 street parks throughout the city and see that growing as the strong demand to sign up for new spaces. thank you, very much for your
