oyster .4 different routes to get into it not only 101 but avenue brisbane a way coming from south san francisco and go straight and end up open hillside so when i have to go back 80 back to my home it's a quick trip that's instructive for us we have projects are a health department and candle stick point we're emphasizing public transit we have to realize that most people will be coming by car we have to approve the automobile access people have to be able to get in and out of there particularly to revisit the whole concept of not

allowing traffic over the bridge conceived over yosemite and a bunch of other things a transit issue of right leg landlord/tenant coming directly 0 into that area we've spent a lot of money that on the t line it should be expended to make it fundamental so, anyway i think we can learn from those all around us one of the reasons they have so much development on o stare point is the fact the development came first and i and the access that helps to attract biotech firms to that area they can get in and out. >> commissioner richards. >> i think this is my fifth

project is to allow project sponsor to submit their you environmental application as the d b.a. application there's a months or 5 or six months waiting period when the application is submitted you can use the p pa as port of the waiting period we also, because of the sheer volume of projects come in we're asking for a 6 month period the staff has 90 days to respond as opposed to 60 gazing days when we start this program we have this side of the aisle applications this year over a one one hundred the

bottom line to allow the project sponsor while waiting for the letter to be two or three months off the projects for small projects that's significant that concludes my presentation. . >> commissioner. that places you on item 8 the past friend of mine the board of supervisors no preservation he hearing yesterday and although a board of appeals hearing the zoning administrator has invited me he'll provide you personally with the update next week. >> good afternoon aaron starr 10 east at this week's land use committee we've leader the project sponsored by supervisor wiener and supervisor breed this is you providing the arresting cascades in the hate street commercial district that was before this commission on
