make sure of that and i'll post it for general reference on our website. >> okay. thank you. >> sxhovks. >> thank you thank you, ms. jones i definitely agree with the departments recommendation we take an objection o action for the motion on extension of examine period and i wanted to say a couple of other things but in the comment period i definitely agree we should be following sequa guidelines 45 days minimum that shouldn't be within the pressure view of the staff to say now it is 60 i think the commission has to take action to extend it but beyond extending it i made a recommendation that the excision should make finding if they want to make that the case can you give example of findings

i personally synthesis we have a lot of eirs published during the difficult times of the years and not only winter but summer months i'm struggling to get a real good set of criteria for finding to extend beyond 60 days if you get could give us examples. >> the only thing i can tell you sequa says there's unusual circumstances in terms of but this is is not defined within the status or the guidelines this is you know something to look at the city attorney for guidelines i don't know if ms. burns wants to add anything at this point. >> deputy city attorney marilyn burn it is not a bright line

test it is very fact specific because it is unusual circumstances about the project or something to do with the circumstances surrounding the project that would be what the commission will look at if the commission step up to the plate it beyond 60 days our office recommends it includes the unusual circumstances that are presenting itself to the commission that makes sense. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you commissioner moore. >> i'm glad that i wrote the memo and were standing her pretty much standing up for our practice the question i want to ask you in our using the word subject to the quality you're not lvns to the circumstances surrounding c p 1930 c is one example that requires an

extension it is circumstances but a complicated project and was mentioned by you on the other hand, for example in the particular case of 5 m it involves multiple sites it involves more than 5 or more special use districts which all needs to be considered it involves a larger area plan still to be determined so i think even that what sequa says is generalized for the state of california where primarily you have community and circumstances multiplied as context as the city of san francisco and since i think the city practices are rigorous the department is vote to it sequa practice i assume you'll broadened the definition of what you consider means the sites like 5 m would

automatically fallen into the definition and again, i hope that we find more common grounds i'd like to say that large parts of san francisco, california is there a clear areas where the entire story has been recorded and reviewed previously with a lot of public input it's easier to do the eir and practice the practices that you are successful with but when things are a unclear in the details and i think the 60 day period is more appropriate i'd appreciate if you'd ghetto it a lot of thought and come forward and possess the question whether 60 or 45 or courage the department to bring it forward we'll have the same thing with western -

with central selma. >> deputy city attorney marilyn burn if i could jump in i want to note ms. jones notes it is the prerogative of the commission to extend the comment period as with 5 m it gets the commission in their judgment the comment period should be extended the commission takes a vote simply because the ero went through her analysis not to exceed didn't mean the commission can't do so. >> thank you commissioner richards and i think hester mentioned something about the

mayor's office with the mo d would you that that is extraordinary circumstances with multiple files and places hard to get to them. >> that's really a case by case question you know the draft eir is intended to contain the information this is the review period of the draft eir specifically. >> i think the access to file you know an important issue in its own right may or may not have any bearing on whether the review period for the draft eir is sufficient okay. thank you. >> commissioners that place you under general public comment not to exceed 15 minutes all matters

listed hereunder constitute a consent calendar, are considered there will be no separate discussion of these items which event the matter shall consent calendar and considered as a separate item at this or a future hearing. i have no speaker cards but i see one in the box. >> any general public comment. >> sue hester back again i sent an e-mail to all of the commissions two weeks ago telling you i thought i needed to have on our calendar revision of the rules because the staff has changed practice when documents are due

to come to the commission without bending the rules that's one of the things you have to have before you i asked you all to look at our own rules and the amendment process because a lot of people don't understand how the commissions rules are amended it's different than announced today are your amending them next week, and, secondly, some things i think are needed i found the practice for the two weeks recorded to be lacking because the planning commission has a miss understanding why the tweaks are important it it allows the public to submit comments on the staff report it's innovate a convenient for the commission it is a convenient for the public and when i have a large project that you get the staff report after the deadline for

submitting comments have you no idea what's in the staff report and the final project it because it comes out on friday afternoon when the agenda comes out and the deadline is for submitting comments is the monday before how do you submit the comments you have to be a mind reader so accrual rulings rule that's gone backwards every single authorization for all offices should be tweaked every project that is massive not this tiny projects the planning commission has begun backwards on that with the advent of two or three hundred reports occasionally you

need an index as exercise are forcing the staff numbers and put package numbers i occasionally only read three or four different motions or whatever have to print out the 3 hundred packages to photo where they are some discipline from the staff needs to be that they have an index and you can't issue hundreds of packages of documents on one link without an index i'll pleading with you to amend the rules of law for those 3 issues reconcile the fact of the index and into the reporting. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. . >> commissioners that places you back under our regular excuse me. on our regular claend

complained u calendar we will be taking up the one case pulled off 6 calendar at 80 missouri street condominium conversion. >> commissioners, i said to introduce you to another staff person that joined us in september as a planner one in the east quadrant she has a batch of arts tb berkley and has experience in the rec and park department she is originally from los angeles but lives in the north and her first public transit automobile has kept her in the bay area we welcome her to the department. >> welcome. >> good morning commissioner president wu and fellow commissioners before you is a request for a conditional use to allow a give him navm that

exiting space is underutilized and the proposing proposal is minor tenants like the restrooms and exercise areas that changes the fingertip is proposed during the public notification period we received two comments the first was from margaret filipinos the alliance for 2nd district that go wishes to establish a gym and no concerns regarding the project the latter was received after the draft motion but i've printed the e-mail forwarded to the dependent on december 16, 2014, the establishment of that gym requires they retain a permit and in the urban if i could

mixed district up to 4 hundred feet are planned a conditional use authorization are required when going beyond the project this will not change the fingertip of the building this is providing a use and currently within a vacate tenant space that concludes my presentation. and i'm available for comments show s should you have questions. >> thank you project sponsor. >> commissioner president wu commissioners director ram i'm larry of back in the day in her urban planning i represent fitness a new locally and minority owned business the two folks are san francisco

residents worked in local gimmicks and their dream to open a local gym training gym the gym will serve the local area with numerous employees in the area with pdr employees and many new residents coming out the area we think this is a great opportunity for a non-formula retail gym space was vacate whole thing it was leased to fitness but the brothers that are the owners the property to the so bone they're not mr. haney experts and didn't realize the sizing size of the gym will require conditional use the original use of the site was a calory over time without the benefit of permit it transitioned to a party place to hold he wedding didn't function as a pdr space or warehouses

space they rented two fitness as merry relayed noted it's before you because the size the conversion of a pdr space so a retail space in the urban mixed use it allowed as a right under 4 thousand square feet site would not be before you the improvements they're proposing are minimal we're not putting in high-end finishes this is an advanced studio it is very low key in terms of the improvements the investment did not precluded the pdr space leases up

i think other than thanking the planner for a great job i have nothing to add i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. the project sponsors are here. >> thank you opening it up for public comment any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner moore. >> move to approve. >> second. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i'm in favor of it hydrait has all the right things supportive and commissioners there is a motion and second on that motion. >> commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson. >> commissioner moore. >> commissioner richards commissioner fong and commissioner president wu so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero and places you on item 8. >> thank you happy holidays and for case the mixed use

that's now the project we're going to be seeing today and at the time it was a difficult decision we had an emotional and financial involvements thirty 32 i can tell you in recent weeks eave spent time defending our worrisome and sanity to people outside of san francisco that questioned whether or not buying a titled piece of property with a size and price and building one completely fined project makes sense in the backdrop of cities across the country providing million dollars dollars and those are the projects in california doing that i couldn't say we can't be happier since we did the mission

bay we've been overwhelmed by the support from the neighborhood and the larger san francisco political community as a whole as well i have to tell you we've been expressed with the level of commitment from our staff and ocii i think the project has benefited what you see has it's fingertip of their work on it and i mean that sincerely we are working with the community leaders and meeting with those with interests in mission bay we are positive about the momentum we feel we are very much heading in the right direction the real need of our presentation is going to be from our colleague i

want to let you know we're here to answer questions related to the warriors our vice president of public affairs is here and our director of public affairs david our project which you have and jessie the principle for us without further ado i'm happy to introduce our leader in the public project david. >> good afternoon david president of the earth thank you rick and david for this incredible introduction i'm humbled to be the voice of what's been a collaborative project and process for this project behind this voice is a thousand people that have been working hard day and night to bring you

what you i've been pleased blessed to get to show you it's coming from 3 groups i want to highlight the feedback is on an hourly and welcome back basis there's a team of engineers that are dedicating a lot of over time open this project those that team of architects and sdwrerz is specialists that have dedicated their lives and career to working on those projects and also a lot of local involvements has been a part of this effort and it's important i recognize the weekly feedback and the process we had with ocii i had to thank katherine for all the time she and her team gaffe to the effort the design would not be it is today without the

entity i've enjoyed the dialog open a weekly basis beginning in the summer all the way up to this point on a monthly base we have a portion of talking to the neighborhood and their feedback what they hoped it will be for the community and that feedback is also been very important and has shaped in a lot of ways so with that, i'll get started as david said this is the master plan project there are some things to be designed and approved that collaborative progress and those pro-people i mentioned will continue to help with the project david introduced the project last year 18 thousand feet in the multiple purpose venue and

square feet of commercial office space i'll show you that there's approximately one hundred and 25 thousand gross square feet of the retail area that will be a contribution to mission bay one of the things i'm month proud of what we've been able to side in spite of the development thirty percent of the site is given back to the community and to the public as open space that is actually, the formulate of my presentation i'm going to wake you outside the building that is what is happening people m people they experience those building we have 9 hundred and 50 car spaces underground those spaces have large loading docks and parking areas and all

of that has been put underground so the above areas can be developed as assets to the city this is important in mission bay if you know the quality of mission bay it is an incredible commitment to making this a great place i'm excited about that project benefits certainly it will be the first multi purpose event in san francisco a world-class landmark for sports and entertainment events there's a significant new property tax increment that will fund public infrastructure and affordable housing and trigger the construction of the adjacent 5.5 acre park and finally it creates a 4 thousand permanent jobs with commitments to the community

what are the design goals for this project as i mentioned it has to be a vibrate landmark for the neighborhood and the city we have spent a lot of time thinking how to continue to enhance and bring nor life into the mission bay he certainly we'll provide a mixed use to make sure the project fits into the fabric of the city and used all year and most importantly has a public space david mentioned it is a lead goal we're targeted and commented committed to doing lead accomodation we're targeting the no g h emissions and be immigrant with the sustainability requirements this

is above and beyond local cal green and san francisco requirements and how do we do that through the demands like balanced parking and the mass transit and bike parking green roofs and zero waste procurement and energy cac and other alternative sources like solar on site generation all right. so with those points out of the way let's talk about the design something i feel passionate about and hope to bring that to light today the fabric of mission bay if you know it is very wonderful tall buildings and that's part of the planning the design for development it yields texture
