>> thank you very much as a quick comment and the property legislation about supportive of it first of all, the addiction the city is in support of housing is the right one i've been to the opening of the baby hill garden and those people their lives have been changed by having homes it's one thing to have a invites shelter but another thing a home my question about the legislation is that my personal opinion whether people say - my question is calling out homeless shelters is a definition in the planning code opens up the opportunity for certain

neighborhoods or districts to say they don't want that use in their district or particular area i understand the state legislation says that no matter you describe the shelter as it has to be as of right and at least in one district but we've got 11 districts pick one and the other 10 can say theoretically so my question first to staff is moving backwards in the process were there other solutions to the compliance with the state law that was considered up to and including the permanent uses of hotels i'm not suggesting that's the right way by i just want to get at the fact and no one said it here i feel last week i'm

obligated to say there are neighborhood we've seen it in transitional housing i want to acknowledge that calling out this particular use opens it up to neighborhood that is a we don't want that use in the neighborhood. >> commissioner first of all, it's not a industrial district it's a zoning district. >> zoning. >> it's no a supervisorial district the important fact we currently because of the lack of a dissension that's not a right because hotels for example, are conditional use the solution to create a definition and make it right so neighborhoods can't say we don't want it i mean assuming this legislation passes. >> it is not i mean anybody can dr it, of course, bus that's a

different question and okay. >> i don't know did you want to add to that. >> as of right means it we just approve it it's not as of right of approving something that didn't require a hearing or didn't require you know more analyze it is something that is approved. >> i understand the approval that we can go through today, the homeless shelters as of right we understand that my question is for certain neighborhoods that feel strongly about it they could then i'm asking the question could they say we want to change it from as a right or to say we don't want it tall. >> it will require legislation to change the legislation it's the board it will require legislation to make that happen.

>> that's the crux of my question is that unlikely to happen. >> i can see certain areas they're going to say ground water great go to our supervisor or legislator and ask for legislation that immediately changes the right to a cu eir not permit it. >> if i may rarp through the chair we looked at you different options to amend the group housing definition but it's a minimum of a, homeless shelters there are more than more of a thirty day timeline but down to one night we shout out to thought it was cleaner to define it so we knew what we were

talking about i get what our saying i hope the planning commission wouldn't vote to carve it out from neighbors in the future. >> i wanted to put that concern out there i guess you can't handle the future supervisors or other legislators or people of authority so i guess it is something to have on the record and hopefully it won't be an issue. >> commissioner richards. >> i'll be brief i think mr. walter man and duh new i'm impressed that or with our passion you guys are the right people for the draw with f this legislation every neighborhood needs to get to a b or a grade

if you give us a d apologize to give you a ball one of the things if our neighborhood supervisor wiener secured funding for that a dedicated outreach team called castro cares i'll courage the supervisors to do and one of the last questions he have on this subject of dr we spent a lengthy hearing if a neighborhood gets these. >> permits. >> that is great. >> i move to adapt the legislation and second. >> commissioners on that motion to adapt a recommendation for approval 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. >> (clapping.) congratulations. >> commissioners that place you on items 12 a and b at 11 fulsome street this is a conditional use and planned unit development as well as a large project authorization i'd like to remind the commission it hearing has this item has been heard on november 30th and public comment was closed and continued with some correction to the additional outreach we're going to limit the project sponsors presentation to 5 minutes and any additional public comments to one minute because this item has already

been heard >> good afternoon, commissioners relinquish from the depth staff it the conditional use authorization and planned unit development for the proposed project on fulsome street the proposed project requires the confusion for development on a lot and merge of lots that creates a street frontage in the zoning district under the large project authorization and the planning unit we are seeking the modifications for rear yard, open space and dwelling unit exposure and off-street parking as a reminder the project includes the occasion of the existing parking lot and one and 2 story building and mrukd building with one hundred and 12

units and ground floor retail apple fulsome street and 3 car parking spaces and bicycle parking spaces as mentioned previously the department has received numerous responses that express supportive given the existing sites conditions and the transit first priorities the department did not support of off-street parking with the specified amazes the department hosted a department meeting if supervisor jane kim's office and planning department staff and the project sponsor and certain members to talk about the improvements and the november 19th memo with the policies for new drementd e sdement development mercedes

benz members of the public expressed their concerns on fulsome street the community asked for improvements on that street although the community requests can't be accommodated the project sponsor has secondary those position the project sponsor has agreed to the extension the do you believe extension and installation of a raise or high visibility crosswalk along with the walk the project sponsor will maintain the off street loading zone and pending consultation of the city agencies in response, the project sponsor will not use a queuing device

and agreed to the red zones along the curb cuts allowed that i sfmta along the driveway to provide more space department continues to support of the location of the driveway as proposed as stated with the executive summary and draft motion in addition at that time, street improvements the planning department has looked at the comments and the facade include even though introduction of a side element that meets the planning code section and the refinement of penetration of the exterior the department is in support of thought option for the project after analyzing all aspects of the project the department staff recommendaons approval with conditions complies with the planning code requirements the project is consistent with the objectives and policies it

produces a mixed use retail and significant upgrades like landscaping and the project will add one hundred plus units that concludes my presentation. the project sponsor has prepared a short presentation i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you project sponsor. >> is the screen open please. hello, i'm chris hate land with the architects in san francisco we're here to continue our discussion about 989 reaping street i'll quickly go through this we're at the corner of ralph and fulsome it is a one story bay lighting steer with a large parking lot is split zoning between the eastern neighborhood and western selma and the building fingertip is

very simple l-shaped building focused towards fulsome street underground floor and residential and the garage entry ramp the last meeting was verbose we'll talk about the architecture this is an elevation prospective at the corner of ralph and fulsome street we begin to look at the architecture we've thought about ralph street and fulsome we think about them having a different altitude fulsome is a larger scale and larger building components trying to pick views from the portion of embarcadero after retail uses other than the ground floor the brick material is supported with a care medic tile element it sits next to the windows and the ceramic tile

moved back and forth and the on the corner we have a large metal aluminum grid frame and large windows and as mentions we're proposing an extension of that frame-up to 9 top floor there's a series of private terrace with the set back of 15 feet known as to commissioner moore's questions and suggestions about potentially we're a one facade this is a study we've done the element on the right hand we're still proposing to be brick but we've looked at a larger scale element where we stitched the windows together into a horizon more graphic expedition we think it gives it a playful facade is something we feel is

contemporary but fits within the neighborhood corner element we are proposing with expected frame here the elevation side by side this elevation was submitted osterman we feel tlooik like we like this and want to move forward with the elevation it is appropriate for the neighborhood we look forward to your questions and comments and discussion about that facade. >> looking down ralph streets on the right hand the entry and the block frame elements we've treated ralph's different and brought the buildings down a smaller grain more proposition all here's the elevation along ralph the horizon articulation terraces and bay windows on

fulsome street and the building is brick similar to fulsome to tie the project together to be more co-hey and holistic we looking for buildings on ralph street the scalze are typical like san francisco lots and trying to interpret that in a camera manner we've looked at the front stoops and creates a in my landscape offer and it's a great improvement to the ralph this is the rear yard we've spent a lot of time looking at the rear yard we have duplicate a good job of articulating that looking at the tree improvement as mentioned we had a meeting with the neighbors and hoped the graphics are better or in your screen backing take the do you

believe and extend it to 60 feet to one hundred and 25 feet and that will bring it down to our residential lobby there's a rendering we're proposing some sort of enhancement that would be a enhanced painting or a raised crosswalk which will help to discourage people if cutting through the alleys thank you very much. >> thank you well opening it up for public comment once again we'll be limiting public comment to one minute and (calling names). >> if your name has been called feel free to approach the podium. >> hello commissioners good

afternoon. i'm brendon smekt a homeowner an on ralph street i'm not in favor anymore continuances on this i'm in favor of the they know going through i want to speak on behalf of many of the residents who's main concern at this point is the traffic coming on ralph street and florida this planning mrafrn can get proposed with the raised sidewalk that's great we're open for some other measures that includes the cobblestones mentioned in the package and even further narrowly of the entrance to ralph. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> my i'm jessica spell your

last name generally in favor of the development and happy about the intersection being made safer we're disappointed it the driveway on fulsome has not been cared considered when the last meeting end it sounds like you were asking for that to be considered i'm still not to hear if it's a safe location the intersection is more dangerous at the street so i guess that's all i have to say thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. and. >> i can say we were disappointed on the fourth at that meeting not much about the

streetscaping i want to strongly urge to within our powers to set the stamp for a larger abduct but we were disappointed i was planned to read out minutes but 5 hours and 52 and 57 minutes of the november 20th meeting commissioners commissioner johnck's and commissioner antonini and commissioner moore were all basically asked i think there was a meeting including the neighbors to talk about the policies for this particular project for more alternatives thank you. >> thank you. >> 2 points on behalf of the many neighbors first we've been

given inform reason; right why it is on ralph and not on fulsome second the developers have a do you believe on ralph but it's in everyone's interest to put a small plaza there instead of it consumes several parking spaces for no public benefit but the bulb out didn't change the interface we have parked cars and that's two fast where the bulb out doesn't nothing driver location the department staff made it clear the transit issues with flegable and their reason for putting out one less curb cut you have to look at the speed of traffic and putting it on fulsome will reduce both of those risks put the driveway on

fulsome. >> thank you. (calling names) >> good afternoon, commissioners ralph with the san francisco action coalition speaking on behalf of the one hundred and 40 pedicabs thank you for the opportunity i've spoken in favor of the project i'll speak about the doorway the driveway was on ralph that's the option we support and fulsome street is a busy traffic corridor and it is increasing becoming pedestrian active corridor and could be a 2 way street it doesn't make sense that cars with going in and out of that street everyday we support and enhance the streetscape enhancements and please support it with the

driveway on fulsome thank you. >> thank you thank you good afternoon, commissioners thank you for listening to all the neighborhood i'm susan i own the building and was the founder of rainwash i voiced last time my option to a driveway on fulsome street the traffic and pedestrians issues the street across from the entrance to the laundromat pass a bib eligible development with they're parking entrance there's no problems i urge you, your destroying parking spaces with the bulb out to reconsider the developers request for more parking spaces because you are going to be eliminated with that proposed plan parking spaces although i think the project is great i hope you put the

driveway on ralph thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> good afternoon commissioner president wu and commissioners carpenters local 22 remains to be in full support of f this project we hope it will get passed and look forward to doing a lot of upcoming work with those vendors as a sponsor of the job and wish everyone whatever high schools to have a nice christmas and hanukkah whatever and safe new year see you next year. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed >> commissioner antonini and yeah. i have a question for the gentleman i'm going over the various things that are proposed for traffic kooumg on ralph and i think all of them are being

implemented i'm not sure about the cobblestone or breaking and entering brick it that something we have to top with another department. >> yes. the standing of the paving another agency sfmta or dpw. >> i'm under the assumption the project sponsor is okay with doing that if we get it approved. >> we have yet to fully analyzed that into our plan we're open to look at that but at this point we haven't gone through that part of the d d process to pick out materials. >> we can't condition that anyway as part of the approval but certainly will be supportive of further study and hopeful that will be worked out the other thing the direction of ralph's is there some question about whether it's one way is it not and there's a belief it would be better in another direction is that supported by

staff or not. >> it's obviously we'll have to analyze and it is not something else. >> the measures i've seen bringing brought in as part of the approval if it goes if way the raised squawking crosswalk the bulb outs the corner plaza and all the red zones and various other things that are going to greatly calm the traffic on that street and going to have a far greater impact in a positive direction for calming the traffic it is now a real problem he even without more residents i would also agree with the owner of green wash with we certainly should consider the middle ground on parking because the neighbors and everyone seems to be in favor of a situation if you have

dedicated parking people will be circling around less and it seems like that is a hybrid we have the red area and the nc t and staff made a determination what was a right by blending the two together, however, by overview conditional use it could be as many as 98 and right at 42 the 57 is a good compromise and it satisfies the neighborhood that don't want more cars searching for parking spaces that is wyoming wasn't i favor i like the project and like the architecture changes you've made and i falsify the new version and which is the sunscreen version is the better of the two and the way you've treated fulsome street is a lot

better i'll see what commissioner moore has to see but by and large there's a better area between windows and a little bit more distinct so i'm very much in favor the project as presented. >> commissioner hillis. >> yeah, i'm in favor of the garage conspiracy ordinance ralph street i go back to my commissioners, i think from people passing through and urging ralph streets as a cross through a problem we want to get to this will help with the raised sidewalk and the bounlt which i courage you all to keep working on i think one question

the ralph the sidewalk gets wider after the sidewalk is that because of the bulb out or it narrows and widened some more. >> about the same. >> so it's wider and the same wealthy your bulb outing with why not go the width and keep ralph's the same. >> one of the comments we got back from the neighborhood in our first neighborhood meeting when we initially approach to bulb out from the corner to match the northern end of the ralph street this was pretty strong opposition in the room to keep the roadway as wide as possible for as much of the street as possible once you get up into the northern part of the

street it becomes fairly narrow you have more side swiping of cars and whatnot we're going to try to calm the traffic at the corner and come back. >> i mean he circle people to - i'm okay with this plan if you want to lessen the traffic but it will calm people and invite less people down the street i wouldn't mind seeing this all the way widen but compromise with the neighborhood i'm supportive of what is being proposed. >> commissioner richards. >> i'm generally in support of project i think the project sponsor and the neighbors have come a ironic way and the traffic off of fulsome coming and ooufrgz ralph as
