does a very, very unique thing we're a full service institution we service the variety of needs that our customers and communities have from just retail needs to private loss management and commercial needs and the likes our stores reflect the unique community if you take time to understand what the service organization we design our space to reflect the community we hive from within the community from within the neighborhood as well as to refile that certainly providing job is important but hiring people locally helps us to maintain our local presence we have - we can take complete overwhelmingly and not have to pass that customer to fulfill their need for the day i want to touch a little bit

about being a great caliber i've been that the company for 13 years they've supported me i worked my way up and pleased to be able to say that one of the things i'm proud of we have built a fortune top one hundred companies for 8 straight years we've received that honor one the great benefits for working with that bank my ability to volunteer in the community each society is given time to work in the community it would be easy to share with people the organizations i know would be great but it is really something to allow the associated to leverage their passion and giving back to the community i

want to talk about our store mark touched on the floor plans we see ourselves as a neighbor we're able to allow or to give back to neighborhoods through the use of our community space during the bank housing hours or after we don't go dark after 5 o'clock but to facilitate the means of the neighborhood and partner with other fnts i want to show you photos of the events this is an event with the mayor downtown another your store we host an event called the cat lyric quarterly we bring thought leaders into give an presentation to spark local businesses to start a business

time. >> it was not made clear to you so - >> we can quick commissioners i'm willing la i'm a project manager with phil's coffee and i'm sure you're aware of we're here requesting a conditional use for phil's coffee and a vacant space although thels a technically a formulate use we've been vice president in san francisco for a while i'm going to give more information after phil speaks. >> good afternoon, commissioners i want to through one thing will phil's coffee thanks for having me phil's coffee is a community i'm a city boy i've been in san

francisco 45 years and in the same spot 42 years i knew that i would on a coffee shop to make a friend and get murder and all those things besides the quality of our coffee we have a team and not a company we're a community where he built cultural where people come to our shops and use my shop as their community room i could talk for a week i'm sure you're aware of phil's coffee those days you guys built me into the cloudy leave it up to you guys you know about phil's coffee we are eager to work and we have over 5 hundred people i

give them dental plans i do everything for my team thank you for having me here god bless you all. >> thanks phil. >> i mean, i'll briefing give you information and we've described other tenants in the building we're excited to bring the neighborhood serving retail to this section of potrero hill over the years we've heard a lot from potrero hill residents they want to have phil's in these their neighborhood and in the process of community outreach we've heard had loud and clear and are excited to be part of the community our stores are on most of day from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. we offer you know truly make a more vibrant streetscape and community gathering place we are also as phil's mentions a

great employer probably have approximately 25 employees at the store and excited to be part of the community so we are around for. >> yes. questions in you have any please let us know thank you. >> thank you opening it up for public comment then i have one card ron. >> commissioners first, i'd like to thank you for looking at this last item i didn't want to take the time i was on the commission when we okay'd the hate street store i had sent a letter on the 20th i hoped you had it i live two blocks away this is a 4 hundred block of i'm

at the 6 hundred block a brand new condominium building it has excellent space for retail other than the ground floor as to the bank the fact they're providing community space and actually providing a banks to serve this part of lower potrero hill is excellent phil does not remember i'm sure there's no reason he should but i met him a number of years ago down in the north light court in the building when he was providing coffee probably an present e event from the mayor's office of neighborhood services this is exactly what conditional use is for on formula retail definitions it filtered what should be and should not be this is a case of on excellent

homegrown san francisco and i'll call it an institution if you've ever been on lower 24th street at the original location there and absolutely should be approved the entire complex will be a benefit to the neighborhood thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners shawn i'll covet e keep is briefing i'm here to support the two uses why their formula retail yes, they both beat the definition one a financial institution and one iowa's has a certain number of stores that crows the thresholds we get that this is a different bank what else do you have a bank that community don't caulk talk about it's easy to say all banks are the same? not your typical bank

probably none of us have experienced a bank like this i believe they have approximately one thousand little cards of support for this location now i represent a lot of projects if i had one thousand cards commissioners you guys would know about it i've not gotten close to one thousand phil's coffee is a logically local institution and their local and homegrown and most important there's something that's not mentioned this is to say in the middle of this project it is not acquit finished until the second phase but the presidio needs life and phil's consumers sitting and enjoying the coffee it is going to have the look and feel of the park no gates and barricades people will flow in and out

they'll get ice cream and admire the gallery hopefully, this will be a wonderful jewel almost a park in the center thank you. >> is there any additional public comment okay seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner richards. >> i think ross are two great projects appropriate retail for this space i think the gentleman did it said it so lornl and having a vacant area especially one that innovative is entirely appropriate we've proved this on castro street and this is a good project for this site i have a couple of questions first of all, i want to say the bank folks the signage i see in the photo i'm sorry in the rendering is very modest is there an

actual sign that has the dimensions. >> yes. i'll pass those out now. >> the second one i heard you're trying to offer up a conditional use for on to certain times of the earning after hours i think bank treating create those spaces after hours it's a wonderful thing your clients offering up i think the city attorney and i talked about that this is something we recommend you answer into an agreement with a bona fide 0 neighborhood. >> i believe that will be acceptable if it's going and finding maybe something about having the best efforts to find the neighborhood organization that wanted to - >> yes. >> in fact we've exponential with the potrero hill and the

dog patch group they've expressed to the extent they like our project we'll reach out to them. >> i have one other question you have an article gallery at 54 pine or whatever do you need to serve alcohol on the site do you you know new now wouldn't. >> i can't wait to come to the art gallery and drink some wine (laughter). >> thank you. >> commissioner antonini. >> i also agree a couple of good project i'll speak to them collectively and approve them individually it is shocking no banks particularly to the east there was a city banknote as far far but nothing in potrero hill in general and unfortunately, we talk about neighborhoods and the housing element emphasis

neighborhoods and neighborhoods used to be self-contained in san francisco you know 50 or 70 years ago each neighborhood has a movie theatre and banks and cleaners and markets a streetcar and somewhere it deteriorated and a lot of the institutions pulled out and made it necessary for people to get in their cars to drive to get basics services night in the potrero hill by itself and ocean boulevard and lower fillmore and other avenues those restraining order neighborhood streets that are in need of not only banks and coffee shops but supermarket or small market maybe we could get gus back to put in a few more it's sup
