5:00 am
civic groups, etc. i'd really appreciate mr. fries help and ms. hilliard's help in trying to find a way to catalog this in a short marijuana commissioner johnck. >> yeah. i think the direction we're moving ♪ the way of sprint if up from the user end as a professional in the field i use the northwest information center a lot in some states part of the depository information in california as outreach for the preservation office if there's so i would this report is going to go into that depository i read for example, a medicaid waiver library congress so i would rely on what's in the folder and bans
5:01 am
the comments with the inaccuracy unless we can deal with that that's a problem to have the report adopted so number one the second thing i think that, you know, that i went to the workshop we had and met mr. murray from the performing arts center and met this person in charge the security of the arts museum he turned out to be a landscape architecturally architect without a degree and another gentleman from the district there are so many areas of discussion for this arena i think i'm sorry they're not here today they had interesting things to say but i and i guess
5:02 am
third you know, i think where the confusion is this is an inventory that's the name of the project the civic center landscaper it is a nice idea to expand it into a culture landscape report but with the accuracy it's not not raising the integrities you'll find that in a true landscape report naming a landscape so the direction of somehow closing that up this is an inventory that has the features in it we should go ahead with a that and somehow - and commissioner pearlman >> yeah. i want to second and third those comments from the past two commissioners while i
5:03 am
certainly know some of the basic facts about the area didn't know the inaccuracy until i read the 10 package report so a must be of the public i would have thought oh, this is exactly what happened we need to wish careful the act it's an inventory that's extremely good it has a validity and if we can find a way as director ram talked about referencing the previous documents you know and identifying there's inaccuracy so we're not adapting something that the public thinks is the complete and final is on what is is boo about so i agree with the various other commissioners that if we can find a fairly easy way
5:04 am
to split out the inventory so we can get it into use. >> commissioner wolfram. >> yeah. i'll agree with the other commissioners, i think i do wish there was is more in the inventory more analysis contributing i think the thing that makes me nervous there's 2rik9 features listed and i i hope their integrity but the art agency in the public library are those the murals that were removed in the p zoning oh, $0.35 that's not accurate because they're no longer there so those little things the things that make me nervous the civic center can use help so there's a project to make
5:05 am
changes and looked at it want 2rik9 features and is we can't touch the contributing features we want to be careful whether this is a contributing features i'm thinking about the small-scale features that could affect projects and regarding the initial section on the sort of chronological history for those context cigarette butt maybe to do a chronological about the section i was trying to figure out what happened to the foundation ♪ the civic center sometimes their referring to in a different way and talk about the jets and sometimes they're called pools
5:06 am
and sometimes foundation it's hard to say rather than sacrificing signature of the history but the chronological of the history >> commissioner norton. >> i move that way we continue this item until the next meeting to allow mr. frye and his staff to give us a report on the then current status of dealing with this document. >> i'll second that. >> and before we move on i want to express gratitude to mr. haas on hills spending time on this project. >> there's a motion and second commissioner johnck pr commissioner johns commissioner matsuda commissioner pearlman commissioner wolfram president hasz so moved, commissioners, that

5:18 am
last several years initiated us to bring back the advocacy of the a delegation we find there to be a benefit to consolidating all your delegation so what's being passed out a slightly different thing i've underlined the areas that have changed and wanted to walk through the revised motion with you and get our feedback quickly though just to recruitment about the preservation entitlements are approved at the staff level through the delegation motion and through the scopes are seen as reroutine providing they follow the resolutions in your
5:19 am
delegation we've identified a couple of scopes of work given the backlog and unanimous of permits could help streamline things for property owners and tenants but also included a certain level of certainty and in terms of process and design expected from the commissioners or department staff you see a delegation that includes all article 10 and 11 properties so this is admin permits we're suggesting the two year delegation which is worked fairly well in the past and on the first page in the whereas clauses one item we thought would be helpful to include is there's often a lot of
5:20 am
discussion at the planning information counter about ordinary maintenance and repair we've lifted the definition from our code in article 10 and 11 this is giving you an easy way to point to one document that they may not know how to maneuver through the planning code this gives a great point of reference for folks to let them know with it has a definition for your standards but it exempt from not from getting a permit everything remains the same except window replacement is basically the same the one additional clause was for
5:21 am
individually designated landmark building per article 10 from the small workers cottage at 9 hundred van ness to the wells house and changing window openings and removing fabric was a different scope and should be elevated by this commission previously we reviewed this at the staff level it's safe to say we haven't had projects take advantage of this but we thought to put it in there to our review if you agree with our changes so this is on page 3 under subsection b in the paragraph whether to replace a secondary facade i did add that the language under subsection two to provide clarity for the public
5:22 am
on page 4 under rooftop equipment we've seen especially in the downtown area it is a number of rooftop decks that we are able to approve microwavely but not able to productive the access to the decks that has to come to you we've breakdown this into two categories based on rooftop equipment and elevator override within the c-3 district outside those are traditionally sites that have requirements about height restriction so there's a definition but this allows us under 4 to approve elevator over rides and this is generally the condition we're seeing especially downtown under number 5 the revolver top
5:23 am
equipment outside the zoning district there's perimeters that allows us to improve on something that is minimally visible that's appropriate to leave it in under number 7 on page 5 we added a sentence about applicable special sign districts this is comes into play more often in the waterfront district both which very specific time controls that are out loud of this bodies purview but something we're required to enforce per the planning code this allows us to be up front about the requirements remainder of page 5 and 6 are the same except for item 11 we specified for item 11 and 12
5:24 am
those properties within the c-3 zion e zoning has to do with the rear yard decks and stairways there's a difference between residential and downtown properties we wants wanted to make sure and 13 and 14 remain the same about the removal of non-defineable feature and i've underlined the elements included here so you've reviewed this as part of your packet the security measures we've seen a number of security measures come in over the past couple of years and want to make sure there's a mechanism to approve those are administratively quickly and efficiently we've added from the last versions a.d. exterior
5:25 am
lighting the condition we're would like property owners to achieve is to make sure not only the exterior lighting but any security measures are in a secret location to minimize them they're not getting huge fixtures you outside of the building o securing things that is my quick overview and happy to discuss this certainly, if there's other scopes of work you think should be included but overlay we thank you, again for your trust we feel the delegation is working to get to our workload with that, >> question about on page had the rooftop equipment and roof
5:26 am
elevator over ride is that the c-3 districts. >> yes. >> make that clear because it's confusing with 5 if something has an elevator over ride it is in 3 not 5. >> so add that we should probably do that for all of them. >> typically you have them outside but not inside. >> offering good point. >> i didn't see others where you have it's both i mean, i could double check those. >> mr. frye a question on number 15 not only under our purview but what's the rules on the security i i know that a building that came out that was
5:27 am
permitted it is an example of what we don't want your correcting just so everyone it is a restaurant that went in and did a bunch of work and put up national thank you security gates and the planning code is that all security including the security gates be a minimum of 75 percent non-visible as part of the mandates under the security measures one of the big items any sort of housing or structure relied things be concealed we've been successful in downtown mandating that but to let folks know that solid
5:28 am
roll down doors are not appropriate anywhere in the city and a few measures we'll see ask for as part of the landmark. >> part of the hayes is that gate coming down. >> i'm not sure i can look at that. >> commissioners any other questions okay is there anyone who wishes to speak on the item? seeing none, public comment is closed back to you, commissioners. >> i move to approve. >> thank you. >> commissioner. on that motion to approve the renewal of motions with zero 188 a riersz commissioner johnck commissioner johns commissioner matsuda commissioner pearlman commissioner wolfram president hasz so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 6 to
