a comment on that. >> to the best of my knowledge we don't have a specific performance measure. >> i guess the agency coordination. >> i don't know what the measure would be it's not a quantify active i wouldn't want to measure it it would be off the charts i think one of the things the program i think there's a performance measure about the actual allocation of dollars and the timeframe we could think about that if you have a couple of ideas. >> i have. >> couple that are not worth brainstorming but i want to bring it up and love to work on
10:01 pm
brainstorming some metrics around the effort around people going to other agencies and across the work programs we have transit and other issues we'll be coordinating and i want to see some sort of measure of the ftes that are dedicated to working with other agency. >> if i may keith with the department staff one thing we track with the revenue we track the scope and the timeline so for missouri my of the projects we track orts and report to the committee that information could be considered performance. >> okay. that will be an open item for maybe the next session and the second thing so much of our work products flows directly to the building department and the department of building inspection that one i'd like to sort of reiterate a call i think
10:02 pm
was made a couple months ago for a second joint hearing to see how our tracking system and what they're doing around reorganizing their staff it would be great to have that and then i think it would also be i know that we're just looking at not a budget supplemental we're looking at having rec and making them permanent in the next budget i'd like to hear either this time or next time whether or not that's a good strategy if we need to push it a lot of staff across different areas i feel that works if you have here and there staff and reorganizing the current staff and not make a whole lot of changes in
10:03 pm
supplemental in spectators parts better organizing and how much extra work is being put on the building inspection and maybe in the next budget i'll ask people to think about that strategy and director ram maybe you can comment. >> i think next time we'll talk about the position on grounds we were going to propose and perhaps have a short discussion on the hireably plan to reflect the position as commissioner hillis said we should look at a couple of years to look at the numbers if i might on the policy question expediting permits i forgot to mention we have a director's bulletin half of the list is 20 percent on site
10:04 pm
affordable or off site affordable that's how the mayors projects on the list like public projects as well. >> thank you commissioner antonini. >> thank you. i'll echo what months of the commissioners have said and i'm very happy to hear an additional of staff mechanics members to try to expedite projects you don't think? a problem there was a time when a staff member was assigned to a particular project and he or she would go on think expend leave for various reasons it's important this about a team operation people are going to be ill and maternity leaves it's important that the projects keep
10:05 pm
moving even when the individual are not there and the same things with permitting as much as possible i hope we run our permitting simultaneously i i know sometimes it's done in stages wherever possible fire and electrical and the various inspections necessary moving simultaneously will help the project to further through quickly i think the benefit of the public unless i'm wrong our fiscal year is september through november; is that correct and our fiscal year from july 1st through june 30th. >> oh it is july here i'm thinking of federal that is thank you for correcting me but that's why we're discussing it now your deadline is before the
10:06 pm
middle of the year obviously another revenue issue which i think has improved a lot there was a time in 2007 when i acquired property and if doing that there was a reassessment and it took 3 years for the new assessed value they do it immediately but it took 3 years for the city to collecting o'clock the money 12 i saved the money but they lost the revenue for those 3 years and have to have a provision in fairness they allow some of this to be paid over a period of another 5 years because of the lack of time recently this year was involved in another purchase and happy to report it's been already reassessed and the tax
10:07 pm
bill due in december and april for this year were all in december if you choose is already reflected the increased value it makes sense with the amount of building we have we shouldn't have shortfalls in the city's general fund if we are collecting the money in a timely manner and in regards to earlier comments just in general this is any actions this commission takes as well as the actions of staff are consistent with the laws of this city even prop m and k and have to support our decisions with the finding we do everybody might not be happy but there's a reason they're made and supported with findings i can't think of decisions some have been overturned by this
10:08 pm
board of supervisors but no, i don't remember any of our decisions taken to court and i and you know except for environmental issues in the past regarding certain things but by and large not a problem i'm happy and looking forward to the process. >> commissioner richards. >> two quick follow-up comments to director ram for the appropriate metrics and smaller projects two metrics one nor large and small i think director ram you xhptd on one of the complaints i've heard from the association is the serial nature this gets assigned and that gets so stipulated the process actually happens and something you mentioned a month or two
10:09 pm
going ago about you, appoint 1 or 2 people to not stop the process. >> what we did was change the process we had the procedures you applied for a preliminary application we gave you the letter in 60 days and didn't allow anyone to employ important the environmental application we're not allowing those procedures to overlap because people are waiting so that two or three months for the process is part of the wasting time. >> so the same thing can happen. >> i want to add i appreciate for the citywide group the new category the various work it helps to put work in thought category i want to reiterate my
10:10 pm
ask from last week, we have action plans or work plans no, not in this 0 form with regards to the changes and the changes will, addressed maybe in the briefing we talk about the 5 year plan but don't want to be focused on those 4 categories on those challenges thank you. >> commissioners that places you on regular calendar item 8 the susan daily master plan this is a public hearing on the draft civil rights please note it written comments will be allowed until february 17th. >> good afternoon, commissioners viable and transportation planner the item
10:11 pm
before you to receive the comments on the environmental impact report and draft eir for the sunnyvale hope sf master plan process this is a joint document is satisfies the california qualify act the document was prepared by itself planning department and the mayor's office of housing of community development i'm joined by my colleague and project sponsor representatives are here today project site is a 48.89 site in visitacion valley bounded by the hunt street to the east and alaska avenue to the west it is developed with seven hundred and 84 senior scombrunt u unit it includes demolition and t the construction up to 17 hundred
10:12 pm
housing unit including the one for one units and the affordable unit and market rate and it will include up to 725 thousand square feet of community service resembleal and educational facilities and 11.5 acres of open space and reconfigured street network and up to 16 thousand plus square feet retail it will occur over 9 to 15 years in 3 phases the draft eir was issued and comments will be accepted at the planning department on february 17, 42015 this is the second on the draft eir e i s the second was on tuesday january 2015 at the
10:13 pm
complex the draft eir found significant impacts related to the following traffic delays disturbance of anger lovely and noise exposure during construction and exposure to hazardous material and something like programs for animal feces and construction impact of new utilities and service systems required to serve the system all impacts i'd like to remind did speakers this is not a hearing to consider the approval or disapproval it will focus on the adequacy and accuracy of the analysis within the draft eir
10:14 pm
comments will not be respond to in detail i'd like to request the commenters speak slowly and clearly so the transcript can be clear and it would greatly help if commenters state your name for the record so they can be properly identified in the transcript and please provide their addresses so we can inform them when the document is available after hearing comments from the public we'll - staff have not here to answer the comments the comments will be transcribed by the court reporter and this document will respond to the documents received and the revisions will be made to the draft eir to address those comments the
10:15 pm

10:16 pm
few questions answered no questions or comments as the case one of the alternatives spelled out the breakdown of the different unit how many market rate and how many of obviously we have one to one replacement of the public housing so i didn't see that maybe i didn't read carefully enough in the preferred project alternatives so i want that spelled out in comments or responses and the other question i have is again in comments and responses is the environmental reviews been analyzed in the projects are done simultaneously it is with a different eir in valuing shall
10:17 pm
garden and many projects in the past were done all at once the tenants were given housing and bracket back after it was finished and some of the impacts we've talked about as far as noise and traffic and these made for difficult the housing is still done i want to see if that was analyzed where that alternative as you thought about it looks like it's going to be a good project. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you so the transcriber i'll state my comments directly recommended to the eir start so we don't have a whole bunch of comments not
10:18 pm
contempt i see a whole lot of people and nobody from sunnydale if you're watching this broadcast and not here you've been called out it is unableable we're raising the whole issue of sewage back up and nobody can read the summary of a dr and not care about it i'm off my soapbox i'll talk about 9 eir now, mr. court transcriber there are a couple of areas i don't feel the eir is sufficient and luckily the draft we think how to affiliate this so 3 areas i think the eir does not do a good
10:19 pm
job on the first displacement and environmental justice and the second on schools and third on public utilities specifically the sustainability plan on gray water and other waste treatment opportunity we have i'll go through them one by one and try to be as specific to the issues and hopefully, we'll get changes in the final eir so on displacement slash environmental just the summary of impacts didn't adequately i'll say this the summary of the impacts does not see how the city and developer has thought about both the potential impact and the mitigation around displacement?
10:20 pm
a one for one housing public school replacement unlike in alice griffith the promotions we're building new and people are moving in we have to demolition things and move people somewhere they'll move back when it's completed over 9 or 7 year i think in here the project timeline i'll say that taken together that series of projects details maples there is not - there's more than a less significant impact for ceqa for displacement of existing residents the existing i think file of unit in the sunnyvale
10:21 pm
project is somewhere around the 70 percent i'm trying to remember off the top of my head range you can't assume all retains are inhabitable so i'll say to summarize any first point the summary of impacts needs to say that impacts is - the mitigates measure needs to be called out that is described in summary level in the documents getting to the actual mitigation itself i think there is not enough detail there like i said based on the current rates of unit being occupied there's some percentage the assumptions every effort will be made as the unit are demolished to move into
10:22 pm
other unit number one if the one hundred percent of the occupied and one hundred percent of those are not occupyable so with the mitigation measure in general needs to have more detail where those people are going to go and how this links to the environmental impact report is you have to analyze under ceqa do you have environmental impacts related to providing housing somewhere go for people your relocating it's necessary but we have to be realistic where those people are going and the environmental reviews in san francisco providing the units this needs to show up and having no requirement as a mitigation measure is not sufficient environmental justice is an
10:23 pm
offshoot of that under ceqa i look at the environmental justice and having people living on site a 9 or 15 year project we need to look at the mitigation measure needs to be the protection against the construction methods that are already laid out here i think on that piece not necessarily the eir in total isn't sufficient but the mitigation is not required and there are mitigation measures against noise and dust transit impacts laid out here it needs to be added under the environmental justice pieces second major area that i pointed out was public services and again here mitigation measure and the summer summary impacting impact is insufficient coming from those that will provide for
10:24 pm
new schools and number of those families it is doubling or tripling the areas that - the area is inner sufficient for the number of children that will be coming to the area the mitigates was laid out in the whole the 50 fees the same impact fees that provide for schools and i think that needs to be noted specifically as a mitigation measure in the summary. >> and then third is the public utilities like adding we have a huge opportunity to really implement the stunt plan for major projects particularly around gray water and waste treatment we are digging up whole streets and realigning them and providing almost totally new infrastructure and
10:25 pm
the fact i see almost nothing about those plans other than a fact that the puc is spending a lot on their sewer improvement projects it seems like not as sufficient as it probably could be i won't say insufficient i'd like to see more and like to see the gray water that's my thing i've been on that horse for 10 years those are my major things and i hope to see the changes in the eir. >> i'll add a couple of comments to say on the question of displacement it refers to the relocation not all plans are equal can there be more criteria what's the sufficient plan and the criteria of looking at whether or not there are undue
10:26 pm
environmental reviews to moving people far away to where they currently live. >> in following up to commissioner johnson and commissioner president wu i'd like to ask about the cumulative displacement it talks about the significant number of changes bayview hunters point together with treasure island and the eir if possible addresses what those large numbers of units requires the city to admit they can't do because we don't have affordable housing leaf alone housing for dismrarmentd of people in the areas just mentioned tiled ask we start being realistic about those commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much i definitely agree i sort of add
10:27 pm
something if we're going to have the staff time to consider hunters point it's not as important known lives there only a select few people that live there. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further we can move on to our next item 9 e at 16701 mariposa street a draft environmental impact report and please note that written comments will be accepted at the department until february 17th. >> i'm chae sea department staff and the eir cooperated for the 1601 mariposa project joining me is our senior environmental plan and the members of the team are here the
10:28 pm

10:29 pm
is significant and american people unvalued impact on transportation and noise and hazardous materials what about mitigated the draft eir talks about 3 alternatives that reduce the density and the height on mary to those possess alternative the reduce the unavailable transportation impacts the draft eir was published in 2014 and the public review closed on february 17th the comment period was extended to 60 days because of the publication date for the major federally recognized holidays staff is not here to comment comments will be transcribed and the document we'll respond to all written comments and make
