amending the ninth amendment entertainment greater than 25 thousand jooet square feet in western sylmar. >> supervisor jane kim i'm a co-chairs wall. >> thank you colleagues for your consideration and supervisor wiener and supervisor campos for your co-sponsoring this legislation was recommended by the planning commission is a set of clean up legislation meant to honor the original it is not of the western selma plan to allow communities while supported a difference character in the western selma plan when was passed last year and, of course, had begun through a 7 year process in the clean up legislation we made two primary changes one is to allow elementary secondary childcare

use beyond the 25 thousand square feet use site restriction and this restriction was put in place to insure we had a diversity have used along that two corridors with freeway to make sure there was a diversity of ground floor activation how have in our discussions prior to planning the silver plan we already considered a k through 89 school in the neighborhood we have a need for elementary and secondary school in the western selma area we have one major school serving the neighborhood and want to make sure that others can specifically the pre k through 8 that has already started their school on this corridor we want to allow to continue to grow, and, secondly, the western selma plan in the legislation and fks in the

neighborhood has recognized as a cultural place for the lgbt community we want to support the night life that provides jobs and entertainment too was our original idea to allow entertainment but a slight overview on a parcel that was entertainment we wanted to continue the. >> but had to put in 0 clean up language and in particular this site appreciatively had the 2r5er789 in keeping with the area i think it is so important for us to continue the work especially the day after the 31st anniversary of the fulsome street fair my understanding the largest fulsome street fairy know i was there on fulsome street address great to see so many friends and die-hard

registries we topped the 40 average mark of visitors maintaining the mudding character can be a challenge as we residential groebl growth and i want to thank the planning staff to make the changes and preserve the integrity of the plan i also want to thank presidio knoll community i jeff for prior training shop for their continued outreach to the neighborhood and the community and want to recognize ann marie rogers that be here to answer questions if any thank you, ms. roger. >> thank you, mr. rogers hold on i mean, i'll ask for opening remarks thank you supervisor kim to correct the problem in the western selma plan to let the night life use move forward were

there should be night life i had a lot of respect for the work that supervisor kim and her office and members of the community did in moving in western selma plan forward i ultimately did not vote for that plan that was a 10 to one so obviously i was think the losing side even though there's a lot of good in the plan in my view it was not support of night life in a neighborhood that is one the epic centers of lgbt night life in our city we know that night life in san francisco is incredibly important as part the cultural heart of the city it is what makes our city what it is in so many ways all too often night life is a problem to be

tolerated or a thorn in the side to be dealt with we know that's not the case so one of the first things i requested our city visits do a night life plan it was was a $2. million industry and those 53 thousand jobs i think it is those jobs tend to be jobs that are very accessible to people you don't have to have an advanced degree a maigd and working class job for people that all ages one of the challenges that we've had with night life in san francisco is zoning are and i'm a believer in zoning there are areas in night life is appropriate and where it is but

there are times our zoning becomes r50i6b8g or r50i6b9 it is hard to have night life in areas where everyone will agree that night life should be this area is certainly one of those areas where night life is completely appropriate and a good important thing i know that supervisor kim and i went through a multiply year and supervisor campos as well as stiletto mission alcoholic controls that are riveting that was was undermining all sorts of cultural used whether the 0 bowling alleys and so on and so forth we finally addressed that i'm glad we're addressing this here today as i said i know the proprietors

of this future endeavor at the site it's. >> wonderful thing for the community i am a lot of people have been waiting with abated breath and jeff and everyone for this project to move forward we've spent a number of years looking for a suitable site and it's challenging to find one i think you've found one i'm glad to be able to make the zoning change and thank you supervisor kim and her staff for moving forward with that, ms. rogers. >> thank you very much supervisors emily rogers with the plaintiff i think it's been described and it is a very exciting your honor, and forward-looking neighborhood that welcomes schools for the district and the district felt this legislation will further

the goals and recommended approvals with modifications that were incorporated we know the supervisor for that sue thank you. >> thank you, ms. rogers if no comments we'll open this up for public comment i have a few comment cards. >> (inaudible). >> i'll call the comment cards (calling names) i'm sorry i'm going to mispronounce this name sorry. (calling names). come on up. >> i'm sorry i'm not dressed up i want to thank all the supervisors for their support

and we are all up here we're partners this is darcy and jeff and jason i'm excited about the prospective of having a home basis for entertainment it is my dream to not just have a venue where we just serve alcohol to people and kick them to the curve but provide a genuine entertainment and night life so i've been doing shows in san francisco for almost 20 years i'm really, really so honored and thankful you guys are helping us to provide this class entertainment. >> yeah. i want to thank supervisor kim and supervisor wiener and particularly april supervisor kim was incredibly

helpful and supervisor wiener i really want to appreciated your acknowledging how difficult and supervisor kim how championing to open up a new venue and how brave we have to be and your support it helpful and meaningful we closed on the building today snungs with this meeting so, so i just got that message and are you going to - did that mean shut up. >> when the light fell. >> oh, we get to hug. >> the golden hug my name is meg murray i'm a fellow artist and performer here in the city i've come to speak in favor of the proposed change i'm very excited for the

supportive you've given. >> this is unnecessary zoning control had negative ramifications that needed to be rectified and outside the castro the entertainment is vicarious and we have a change to make this win the existing corridor it is a well-organized area this buffer inclusion was designed in fear of potential conflict in the 11 street venue and the grandfathering is two broad of zoning control and sets the property at risk for housing development with the zoning change the stewardship is placed into the hands of the folks that make this district and the culture and revenue to the city this is a project that's with

good neighbors so bring this site to life today thank you. >> >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm nancy stage name nancy french so thank you, supervisors i lived in santa fe san francisco since 193 and i've been an actor and event producer and representing lee at least one dozen families members and friends that couldn't come including my brother in fulsome and 11 and a friend that owns a condo across the street from the da of west west silver i moved here because of the space so far the performing artists and the lgbt community san francisco oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light is going through another change and the tech boom has attracted

other folks that define the culture in this zoning question part of what attracts the residents to the silver strict is the vibrate art but ironicly those are the reason for people losing their homes i've worked at the theatres and we've built inclusive clubs this club is a much needed permanent venue so far the local artists i feel it's important to stabilize the art and there's strong support among the neighbors supporting this club to preserve the culture we've supported and folks live lessor because of the energy not despite of it i'm glad i can live here and without those folks san francisco wouldn't be san francisco thank you.

>> thank you very much mr. meek 0. >> thank you, supervisors jim medicare so, so. lies have been spoken about the silver project ward to entertainment i'm going to. >> mice e my two years the plan was two years for those who work and lived and played south of market the western selma plan opened up 1/3rd of the area to provide entertainment far more in district 8 or 9. but because of pressure from the entertainment lobby and those behypothetical to it supervisor kim felt compelled to a shoe horn this essential zone into the neighborhood florida the western selma plan would have been implemented all clubs would have been grandfathered in

and no buffer zones to worry about this is predicted on the need for everyone to be a good neighbor the court: surely. there has to be rules when it it easy to open a club but tough rules for the neighborhood whether in pacific heights or south of market we're bound by one big idea everyone is entitled to the quiet use of their home and if you don't respect it every neighborhood has a right to haul your butt into small clams court where neither the facebook friends or scott wiener can help you it was our desire is welcome new forms of entertainment 0 into the neighborhood so i hope our

lady to be part of the community step one be a good neighbor. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> you talk about this as a planning code night life entertainment at one time an entertainer a restaurant but the following day they were singing songs of elvis presley so i can sing 3 songs its only restaurant we like to go to the theatre and no movie happening now days see we shawl my bell someday down to get some hey, i love i love you i love so i love you to the death universal passes away see

i can sing some songs but restaurants is chinatown and the richmond oh, fillmore just restaurants it's hard for people to move if they don't realize they'll spend hours flofbtd screen moving things see so theatre no, we can enjoy beetle or to my point it is restaurants should be the promotion for the night life yeah. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi i want to thank you for putting forth this amendment to supports our schools that are growing rapid 40 years a year and we'll be good neighbors and happy our

two causes are joined. >> together that's a nice juxtaposition have san francisco (laughter) thank you very much >> thank you very much is there any additional public comment on item number one? seeing none, public comment is closed supervisor kim >> thank you i want thank everyone that came out for public comment and i agree with als it is a nice pain and suffering it speaks to the difficult balance in the community plan so many eyes want to be in silver whether presidio manufacturers and schools and office i think that's why the plan had just layers of zoning throughout the neighborhoods really to be able to we had the mixed use neighborhood that western selma is known for i want to address the lovinglyth street corridor we spent a lot

of time and the change it is is it true we were going to grandfather the used including the oasis club but worried about the zoning with potential residential coming to 11 street and not every relationship is a nightmare but the one resident that lived across from flynn that was shutting down the club every other night but not inviting more residents for the corridor that had been there so the change was to make sure we were allowing office that is more long with entertainment we connected to fulsome actually, the large large mbdz particle but it was important for the

buffer in the entertainment corridor we had a long, long history and it was really a mix-up with the wonderful and the zoning change also our intention for it to continue the is entertainment use very excited about the shop turning 2081 and lard to becoming legal and for the growth of presidio and knowles history they need another school in the south of market neighborhood i hear it amendment from the residents i'm glad to include you in the first name so colleagues again ask for your positive recommendation and move this to the full board of supervisors. >> is that a motion. >> yeah. >> the motion to move item to the full board is that a committee report. >> yes. >> so the motion is to forward

item one to the full board of supervisors with with a positive recommendation as a committee report we'll take that without objection. >> yes. >> that will be the order okay madam clerk call item 2. >> item 2 is an ordinance for the administration code for the film production fees with no requirement. >> supervisor cohen the author. >> thank you all right. everyone thank you colleagues for hearing this the legislation before us today will require filming companies to provide notification to neighboring businesses and residents within one hundred and 50 foot radius should their filming production activity be expecting to obstruct traffic or close streets or tapping take up partially it adds web schedules

to the production you, you should have received in front of you a fee technical amendments it increases the lead time from twenty-four hours to 72 hours when i understand green from the city attorney are non-substantive we've seen an increase in the film productions across the entire city it's a great thing with when we're seen around the world it is equally important we provide alp notice to residents and the businesses that might be impacted by the flom so it is involving streets that are closing that cause unnecessary disruption in people's everyday lives i've heard from many of my constituents and many of yours from eight and 6 about concerns

about the lack of outreach and notification to the businesses and residents when film production is footprint in the neighborhood while finalizing the legislation we've dealt with the removal of parking garages in the katrero neighborhood first floor for the duration of 3 months with no advanced outreach to the recipe or businesses just yesterday, my staff received a parking garage removal and limited streets in mission in the mission neighborhood tomorrow without requiring the 72 hours parking sign it's my hope this legislation will bridge this communication gap and provide the residents and businesses the information that they need to consider bely prepare for disruptions caused by the film production companies ze we have a representative from

the film commission that's hear if you have any questions oh, you're here oh. >> scoping commission meeting we have a meeting going on simultaneously. >> u but thank you for being here. >> we've been working with supervisor cohen's office i understand the desire for notification to the neighborhoods and the richmond residents about filming which is done i have to say most of the time under our general guidelines i understand supervisor cohen's to have this written into the code however, i would request that we consider reverting back to the oriental twenty-four hour notice as opposed to 72 the reasons why are that very often with future

films with more lead time for a production they come into town a month in advance haven't had take more time to actually set up their shoots because we have commercial shoots very often they're coming in with less than a week time of actually looking for a location confirming their locations and negotiating the contract and shooting the location and sometimes that location manager is working with one set of locations and the director comes in two days before and says it's not going to work and so forth so that might cause a change in the 72 advance notice another thing that effect the productions ability to invite 72 hours in

advance is that an actor is not available suddenly because their ill or another scheduling problem so the production has to cancel what at the intent and because they've hired the staff very often they'll shoot another sweeney screening with an actor that is available and come back to the schedule for the day a flight can be cancelled and weather whether it's raining not that we've had rain it does happen it effects the productions ability to shoot so they have to push to the next day and even construction which all the construction in the city construction going on nearby that the production had not anticipated can cause noise

issues they can't get sound i unfortunately, sometimes both the construction project and our program have been given approval for no parks in the same spot and suddenly the luxury i production can't shoot there so my request would be that we continue with the 24-hour notice because i think then we're more likely to meet the deadline with more accuracy and percentage number and people will generally be more happy if we stay 72 hours then the 72 how notice is not met i want to point out about the notice for no parking restrictions and areas in there is posted with no meters we need to post a no parking the general

transportation code is 72 hours in advance, however, there is a clause in the transportation code section 3.4 that gives the film commission the ability to post twenty-four hours in advance of the parking restrictions so it seem like this would be in line with that expectation to the transportation code. >> okay. can i ask a couple of questions so the way i read the line the phone company when feasible have the 72 hours in advance that reads to me if it's not feasible the flight is cancelled or flight cancelled that means gift the affectionate to the commission it's not feasible

give them 72 hours. >> when feasible which we appreciate that but i think we'll have i would think you'd be disappointed in the amount of productions that would not been able to do the the 72 hours visitations due to unexpected changes that is why i ask we agree to meet more often than not with the twenty-four hours window. >> i mean, we do encourage productions to do notification more than twenty-four hours in advance but i just feel like it is important not to set a bar that wouldn't be choufd well. >> is that another question what do other
