- will this be here we go and looking at the front of the building this is the proposed front view and we have the existing non-conforming unit relocated to the top floor set back from the ground floor it becomes a garage the two middle unit become full floor 3 bedroom unit just to explain what we're done the current drawings you have reflect the notching of the building on the right side of the building above that colored planter to address concerns by the neighbor for access to light
10:01 pm
and security for her front door this is a birds and view in the front stair from the front door h how we cut off the corner at 45 degrees and pushed the bay window back to 18 inches this is the rear view of the building after negotiations and meeting with the neighborhood the same neighbor we pulled in the side on the left 3 feet going back to the formally to currently proposed so we think we've worked to address the concerns for light and privacy that the neighboring building has existing non-conforming windows by pulling 24 back this is just another birds eye of the original proposal where the building touched the neighbors
10:02 pm
this with the light well in the middle so the light well preserving the property windows for the neighbor this is a view for the south side this side has remained relating unchanged with a sent to the south of the set back the block faced view with the building towards the right it is kind of hard to see two buildings to the right of that are a little bit taller and then our proposed building this is the opposing sides of taylor's there are compatible a three and four story buildings i'll put the cursor here it is a little bit out of scale and received category exemption from
10:03 pm
ceqa it doesn't retain any historic value the project sponsor is hoping to update it and improve the experience for the tenants by maintaining 3 rent control units by increasing the units from one bedroom to 3 bedroom and in one case existing site this is a shot at the rear showing the existing conditions okay so just looking at the site plans quickly just to show it is really hard to see so sorry about that
10:04 pm
so what i walked through before was the better representation of the set back we have introduced for working with the neighbor and preserving light and private on her does it is not worth looking at those site plans maybe the project sponsor want to say something. >> i'm thompson my husband and i bought the building one year ago we had another condo we rented out for the last ten years not rent control we've been treating it as rent control we're interested in the same experience that is our last planned purchase and we you know worked with planning and the neighbors and trying to get something that has family appropriate unit three or four
10:05 pm
bedrooms without being in violation of any of the rules or something like that so we're looking forward to having long term attendants in those spaces we want them to be as nice as possible going forward thank you. >> thank you any public comment on this item? okay seeing none, public comment is closed sorry sorry. >> just sitting here 2 1/2 hours i'm next door on the north side with the south facing windows are going to be pretty much screwed we had another plan on the table to move that back i was really concerned about losing my living room light and my stairway is going to be a dark tomb i came with the idea to plead for that the plan i
10:06 pm
don't royals it was only this one they've tried to accommodate me and been great and all that but any chance to get the variance moved back 8 feet so i have my front steps and window? >> ma'am that is our opportunity to describe what the impacts to our property is. >> i've got all my light and bedroom my living room will be marge impacts and bathroom and another window next to the bathroom that lights my dining room and kitchen are pretty much no light and i don't know if you know this we live next door to a bar and the tunneling dark staircase is concerning i often
10:07 pm
find passed out people or people smoking dope on my stairs i come home and the light stair i didn't want to go up the stairs in a tunnel it's disconcerting that's pretty sure my concerns i thought we could negotiate the other thing that backyard variance thing you guys i think you'll all a different committee turned it down before but i will plead for it. >> that's all. >> okay. thank you. >> staff can you you couldn't ask you is there my discussion. >> just to clarify on the memo under the following events number 6 i briefly mentioned it is not clear i'll just address that after we continued the item from
10:08 pm
the november 6th hearing from when the project sponsor and neighbors worked through the concerns related to light one of the proposals that was submitted involved pushing the entire building mass back and maintaining the building wall currently exists and pushing the proposed map back into the rear yard that requires a variants from the planning code so it was reviewed with the design team and was not supported i think the lack of open space and they're initially reviewed with the zoning administrator didn't see initial meet the criteria didn't go through the variance hearing there was an application
10:09 pm
submitted but that maybe what the neighbor is referring we didn't submit those plans in your packet not part of the things submitted so - that may help clarify some of that. >> okay. thank you. >> sure. >> commissioner richards and i guess i mean it is obviously i drive down the street a lot and noticed this house for the last 20 years not in a good way i'm glad you're doing something with that house one quick question i have i'm not an architect the only thing that strikes me from the design moving forward the third-story facing to the setting it is
10:10 pm
actually puncturing south if you come from a slight angle i have a reaction to this thing here i guess a notch but it's like it is actually right here actually do you see it? >> sure i think we're talking about the entry to the building would be recessed the front porch south and we're matching the front porch. >> it is so the south and the floor directly above it would be ideal for the one storage to accommodate one which will be the third-story of the plan. >> commissioner moore. >> the proposed building aside
10:11 pm
from it's size and issues that are measured here has actually an architecture lack that didn't really respond to anything that is there it's a modernity building i'm a little bit concerned about the lack of disclosure on details of the matching windows, etc. it is a little bit two window i didn't for me to the side of glazing i'm not here to help redesign it i want to see the work from the department including a clear understanding what you're going to undertake we see quite a few buildings that look like this and don't wear so well given the type of stucco they use i won't mention any other materials
10:12 pm
because of the cost of engineering impairing some of the buildings it is a large building and where do we put the money mr. smith and jocelyn i think we need more work on in facade impression including the window cross section i'm otherwise in support i'm not quite sure how to continue it in the difficult discussion about the front facade this is it is a complicated project. >> i cannot make a motion i don't have a problem with the design the stairwell needs a
10:13 pm
safety feature but guarantee i don't have a problem with the budget overall. >> to address that commissioner moore concern is this something that you wanted to see again? or is it something you want to condition the project to have staff work with the project sponsor >> i'm xhoufbl your work with the project sponsor my concern is the way the residential design team needs to push the project. >> commissioner hillis i'm generally okay. can you explain that the issue that the neighbor was talking about in what weighing what you've done to accommodate it you've set back a little bit on that side can you explain what is going on in the corner of the building
10:14 pm
with the supply. >> the front. >> yeah. >> okay so i'll use the overhead it is easier to see so her front entry stair is here our wall is here we're extending is to the front to an average line based on the two buildings so instead of k0u9 straight we have cut back the front corner of the extension i'm to have to jump on the other - u s d sorry about that we've cut the chiropractor back by 45 degrees and cut the bay window in half. >> because find how dark it is
10:15 pm
but we have we cut back this corner another 45 degree about a 4 foot by 4 foot section in plan of reduction. >> okay. how far is your front facade set back do i average that with the adjacent. >> right the front set back is from the front property line is 4 foot 8 so essentially 4 foot 8 back from her front. >> okay. thank you. >> commissioner richards. >> one other question for the project sponsor it was mentioned the rent control it is great are there currently tenant living there. >> there's no one living there now. >> no one is evicted. >> no. >> thank you. >> commissioner hillis.

10:24 pm

10:25 pm
item. >> i would like to introduce too chief of police gregory greg suhr. >> good evening, my name is greg suhr. i want to explain how we came about this process and why we are doing what we are doing. there are a charter provision that requires the police department look at district station boundaries and allow for such things as changing population, future population, new neighborhoods, calls for service and an akkadary of other items that will be up on the screen. the reason we have to move the boundary and it has to affect bayview. the way it sits right now, we'll have
10:26 pm
two police stations. we have the southern and the bayview. the new southern station is just across the street from the at & t parking lot. no matter what the districts have to swing around to put that district in the bayview. the bayview station will have the same exact amount of officers and will have less area of responsibility depending on how the commission decides. that line in pencil is at 16th street but many people in the southern district have asked that the entire ucsf campus go into the southern so there is not a dividing line so that would put the new northern border of bayview to the freeway. otherwise the good
10:27 pm
news for the bayview and there have been folks that advocated that there be no more of a change that that. that the border of the bayview at this point in time will find it's way to 16th street or to mariposa. for people here from other districts that might want to speak about what's going on with your border, the other greater change is the tenderloin district will go from just north of market street to a long district come across market street to almost mission street. right now the way it's drawn from third to van ness and the northern station moves west to divisadero. those are the primary changes in the neighborhoods and of course wooem -- we'll hear
10:28 pm
your concerns and we'll tell you what those changes mean. >> if i could recognize deputy chief staff paul henderson's from the mayor's office and my colleague tiffany sutton from the prosecutors office. thank you for being here. >> good evening, commissioners. chief suhr, my name is robert sullivan with the bayview station. it's an honor to have you here today to talk about the proposed changes. as the chief mentioned there is only a minimal change of the current proposal to the bayview district. bayview is one of 10 police districts. the only other people that is larger is the
10:29 pm
taravel district. our district currently has five sectors, five areas of geography to which we assign the officers. the area that is in question that we'll talk about tonight is what we consider the bayview one cart. what will happen is we are northernmost boundary which is currently cove when the giants were here, i was at the doormat but i didn't go to the party. we'll lose mckovey cove down to 16th street. it will have little impact on bayview. right now the mission district is covered by the uc foot print. the uc campus has it's own police
10:30 pm
department. we do assist from time to time when they might have a planned or unplanned demonstration. but it does make sense, i believe, that that border might go as far as down as mariposa because the new uc hospital. the southern most portion of that a butts 17th street. that being said, we know in the bayview there is currently a tremendous amount of growth and there will be continuing to be a tremendous amount of growth with the park being demolished we know there is going to be a 50,000 square foot shopping center with the greenhouse and it will be connected to the shipyard or over the cos way. when it's built out there might be
