group of african-american and asian america groups looking at planning so we'll be happy to report. >> thank you commissioner richards. >> a you couple of things i was last night had the chance to attend a forum by the sfroblg there were 5 to 6 hundred people and standing room only in the mission school in the gym or assembly room a couple of things that are actually for the first time i got to appear as an audience participate 0 that people with real stores in terms of their insecurity around housing and their actual displacement stories i walked away with a question around how market rate housing can enhance

or ignores affordable housing that was one the big strains through the meeting i i know that supervisor campos was there and panelist mentioned that there were patented from the government and the city and the mayor's office many of the nonprofits in the mission and keep come back how do we keep increasing market rate housing and that effects the affordable housing and couple of things resonated we sat here a couple weeks ago approved a bank and other businesses for every market rate business there's going to need coffee and the people will need the affordable housing they'll probably not been able to forecast it is too expensive i think for me there's a good business sense here if we increase affordable housing actually helps the economy has will if so a holistic eco system

we've heard from the businesses in fisherman's wharf they were having a hard time with transportation issues that were hurting them we need to look at this is a good business to increase not only a social thing but explorers increase the affordable housing anyone have any concrete believable relationship on how to increase the avenue i'll be interested in hearings from them the second one many of the folks have seen or heard supervisor wiener introduced the heethsd we had 23 and 24 that came before us 23 and 24 were continued i think this is interesting he heard the issues of the neighborhoods talking about the heights and we'll be hearing about that from

our supervisors. >> thank you commissioner moore. >> one aspect of housing we're not involved but housing is not included as affordable housing with the issue of homelessness someone forwarded an interesting oral this is john steinberg in the san francisco magazine why can't san francisco solve it's homeless problem this is i written by gary the author of cool city the article touches on a point which i think will move all of us i'll forward the article to the commission secretary for to be passed on to staff it if a they're interested. >> commissioners seeing no further comments we'll move on bringing before i move on the

public the rules committee was scheduled to having their second meeting that will be held on march 12 directors announcements. >> good evening, commissioners i want to mention one that yesterday we released the draft environmental review for the university i will say this report is highly unusual eir because of the multiple locations and i just if you'll allow me i'll take a moment to recognize the staff they worked hard and working on a challenging sponsor chelsea the project manager has worked tireless and rick and scott sanchez who helped with the respect to the eir as well

as christine and john and susan and from the city attorney's office susan cleveland that is humane on this i want to take a moment to recognize we're hearing on the crafted eir scheduled for april 16th a longer than normal comment period the close is april 27th so we will be sending those out today, if you don't have them already, and, secondly, just wanted to briefly comment on the short-term rental work we're doing 50e67 calls most of them asking for appointment to register there is a bit of misinformation out there for the record i want to correct for your prudent persons and the public there's been confusion about a business license is

required some of the platforms saying it is explicitly required in the legislation to do short-term rental one must get a business license before coming to the smacking department this is more you have that business license when you come to the department to register and with that that concludes my comments. >> item 7 past review of the supervisors there was no historic preservation commission yesterday. >> good morning, everyone. at&t park this week and land use commission we had one item the interim controls for the building permits adopt by market and south van ness supported by supervisor kim will require a posted notice for commercial

buildings the interim controls extended previous expired on december of last year the item was amended and continued until next week at the full board two items the office conversion and landmark building passed its second reading and the appeal hearing for 2655 broadway was drawn u withdrawn so that's good two introductions the first one was a hearings request by supervisor farrell and supervisor christensen from the planning department to enforce of short-term rental owners and for effective enforcement this is a quick hearing next week i believe we'll be attending that so law enforcement staff and the interim controls that commissioner richards mentioned

richardson sorry is intended to address the issues for the monster homes in the crescent height and will result in permanent controls that concludes my presentation. >> and the board of appeals met briefly 3828 caesar chavez some of the be complicated history the permit was issued no error but if you want to deny this permit we did not deny the permit that was essentially issued last night so today, i issued a revocation notice for the permit clearly it was issued in error and sanchez is before you as a discretionary review so

there's a minor rear yard addition but the appeal of the decision the board had some serious concerns about the variance matter and there was some i think alignment about denying the variance application and continue to come to a resolution that will be on calendaring for march 18 the depended is offering did ability to meet with the parties we'll offer that the next hearing is march 18 a they'll not obeying be meeting until then that's all thank you. >> commissioners that places us in general public comment not to exceed exceed all matters listed under the consent agenda are considered by the board to be routine and will be enacted by

one resolution in the form or forms listed below. if discussion is desired, that item will be removed from the consent agenda spaild i have no speaker cards. >> commissioners that places you under regular calendar the octavia project this is an informational presentation and good afternoon david planning staff my pleasure to be here to provide an overview of the market octavia living program excluding a tool activist kit you received in your packet through the last two years through a genus grant provided
