7:15 pm
coverage in the city on 660 castro street we engineered the inexperience of the coverage grasping gap at&t has a gap and 4 l g t services and the proposed facility will close the gap the city processes requires an independent engineer selected from a list provided by the city to see a gap in the coverage at&t selected hemet and edison to conduct the analysis and on july 14th of this year they confirmed that at&t has a significant gap in the coverage open castro street and at&t proposal will indeed close the gap hemet representative is here to address questions as it relates to that report prong 2 onsite
7:16 pm

7:20 pm
commissioner johns and commissioner president wu so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously have to zero and places you on item 8 for case no. 2014 t reasonable moifgsdz to persons with disabilities seeking fair access to housing in the access code and good afternoon commissioner planning staff i'm here to remedy the modifications ordinance and calendaring this proposed hearing for approval and adaptation that is required by the state and must be finished the reasonable modification ordinances provide a program for the be disables for any barriers to access to their home a reasonable modification modification is to modify the zoning and building
7:21 pm
registrations that has no undue burn on the city of san francisco or to the zoning and planning program those modifications include the changes to the residential property that enables residence to access their property it has to provide apple continental opportunity to live in the neighborhood some for example, i'll discuss are the access ramps and elevators in developing this program the plaintiff looked at the municipalities and met with the mayor's office of disabled to understand the types of modifications and the most common modifications is the elevator and the additional ramps elevators and ramps allow access to the homes and that's for the residential property and
7:22 pm
parking spaces help people to access - the ground floor can help with the visibility and current the reasonable question for modification are address by itself zoning administrator on a case by case basis for the future applicant are not offered a clear process which can lead to delays in approval the programs provide two programs in the case report as described first an administrative pass for access ramps and elevators and additional parking spaces those accommodations are important for people to assess their homes and does not provide an hard of hearing on the building the guidelines are proposed for the administrator question for example, parking can only be approved with no obstruction and
7:23 pm
elevators are the elevators structure are not visible but set back 10 feet from the property line and the policy implementations and approving the modifications to understand how much parking should be loud and how people that don't have a disable in requesting the modifications they'll continue to be misdemeanor described in section thirty 5 of the planning code any plans that don't meet the plans will be considered through the surveillance process and it proposes a hard of hearing fee waiver for residential uses if misinforming for some reason the applicant can't pay the fees under this ordinance a fee waiver maybe grant on a case by case base it meets the needs of
7:24 pm
disabled to access their homes to adapt a initiative and schedule an adaptation hearing the staff is available for questions. >> thank you any public comment on that item? okay seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much definitely in supportive of that item and moving it initiating the hearing i have a couple of questions normally after the hearing but the first one it does fair housing law implement the modifications i know we talked about our fees but the actual modifications itself and then again i don't think it's appropriate for today, we're initiating on the vote of the hearing but can you give a
7:25 pm
little bit of detail on what we mean by parking i think we're talking about rear and side yards but what other accumulations and the elevators are the only type of modification that sound like it is not reserveable were to leave the property can we talk about the difference types of elevators and, you know, how they will be maintained if the person has a handicapped we can see the modifications for access ramps and habitable space but elevators where it total make sense for the person as a change to the property i need to understand who is supposed to be in charge of that and how it works i think it's all my questions thank you.
7:26 pm
>> we'll make sure to research those and get back to you. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i have questions about the legislation i'm assuming that the things that are the accumulations that are being allowed in this legislation people with the disabled there might not be parking allowed or difficult to get it and it's easier for people possibly an elevator where it might not be allowed. >> yes. that's correct that's why we put that under the variance but you can only get the requested modification if you have a disability. >> and this is for people that reside in the particular units that a disability and across the
7:27 pm
map where no one has a disability. >> how about multi unit where a tenant has a disability. >> i can research that. >> that would come into play a lot of instances where the tablet may not be the owner but the tenant needs a reasonable compromised to access the building there's a conflict between the owner and not necessarily wanting to do those things or being able to afford them so have the answer next time. >> thank you thank you, commissioners we'll need a motion to establish a future date and what's the proposed. >> november 6th is the date the
7:28 pm
earliest date. >> we can certainly do it. >> very good a second. >> second. >> thank you commissioner johnson. >> november 6th. >> on that motion to initiate and establish a hearing on november 6th for potential adaptation commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner richards commissioner fong commissioner president wu so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 6 to zero and places you on item 9 a and b for 181 fremont street request for a approval of the downtown authorization. >> good afternoon commissioner president wu and members of the commission i'm kevin guy before i get into my a staff report i want to introduce my colleague from supervisor kim's offers who
7:29 pm
wants to say a few words. >> good afternoon. i'm april with supervisor kim's office located others one 81 fremont is located in our district 6 the supervisor has co-sponsored with the mayor that's before you we ask firing support on the development all the time as well as the downtown authorization amendment the supervisor prefers on site affordability but this case and circumstance the developer has agreed to contribute supra funds and there have a prediction of more housing moving us forward with the housing and this mayor's office of housing is here to speak about the hoa and how that
7:30 pm
was a consideration as well in terms of the fee for the affordable housing rather than having this on site the supervisor wants to thank the ocii staff for in their expertise in understanding what was actually be a fair fee out for this project i think they'll be more presentation about this in detail i understand it is 2.5 times more than the fee that is required in the inclusionary housing program it would be used only for the creation of the transbay that's an important consideration this be within the location and in close approximate to the primary project i understand this will be used to
