commission policies are so on and so forth in a resolution as adopted by your majority vote and action by the board action by the mayor is not required resolution is not legislation so it can't eliminate a local requirement for example neighborhood notification or a need for conditional use authorization that a perspective realm not a policy realm is can change how the commission or department administers it's procedures how the areas in the planning code are silent on how these those are worked in the planning commission council expands only requirement within limits the policy we're talking about today commissioners is the subdividing 4 p the small business pilot program this was created and adapt by you in

april of 2013 following a series of conversations the whole thing members of the commission and the members of the small business commission the goal is to really find a way to help small businesses move through the land use feasts that's itself origin of sb 4 p a high-level of review i'm sorry this is repetitive it applies for conditional use applications really it does two main things the applications are guaranteed a hearing date at this commission within 90 days of the filing of the application in the bit faster than our one hundred and 20 day altercate commissioners given the applications we struggle to meet that timeline second thing that the sb 4 p does it guarantees an

application placement on the commission consent calendar which provides a level of certainty andes penscy when it comes into city hall excuse me. >> as you may recall commissioners the sb 4 p does all this through an approach that is particularly not able we do it by cutting away the excessive paperwork that we and the staff have fallen into the practice of conditional use matters by cutting away the paperwork we're able to process the application for quickly and this extending the solution the non sb don't suffer when the sb 4 p was adapted two

years ago it was acknowledged by this small business commission our practice of drafting robust lengthy draft motions in case of the exclusive summaries was not useful for the straightforward applications some of you saw the example on the slide i'll put it on the screen i like it on the left-hand side of the screen is a 17 page for a restaurant expansion and on the right hand is a 10 page commission approval for a 42 thousand seat basketball on the waterfront the point is we simply didn't believe there's an inherit application we believe that

years because the conversation is formula retail here's our first important lesson we've learned this is the package commissioners from our current scomb application packet it lists the criteria you don't have to read this we'll go on but the point commissioners there are a lot of criteria and in order to enroll in the program you literally have to check a number of boxed 0 it's difficult for the applicant to check we know the program is working and success we haven't let it flush the eligibility criteria is - so this is hopefully, a bit more legible and the highlight of the criteria are that we're having in the program those apply today. in just a second i'll advance the slide you'll see the red

frontsz the streets and the third criteria on your screen relates to last year footprint stores we're suggesting we focus this criteria not on the ray side of the space for example in a building but gear it towards the storefront consolidation we don't want to see that we prefer if you're merging two or more stores not be allowed to participate in the program skipping over the fourth one that remains the same this is the criteria we want to be left punitive towards the stores that provide off-street parking we ask you qualify those applications to provide more parking down to number 8 we're almost at the end of the sheet this relates to r
