that is periodically operate despite decades of notice of violation the paint are exhausted into the neighborhood and spraying painting at this location is a public health hazard and fumes are an intolerable nuisance if the owner wants to operate a paint shop please replace our right to breathe clean air don't allow this repair garage to have this in our residential neighborhood please put a stop to this illegal operation. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment seeing none, we'll take rebuttal starting with the appellant you have 3 minutes.

>> i have to zoo with the x fire marshall or whatever he calls himself i was at the board 3 months ago to update and put in a mandatory alarm system which i did i have no knowledge that the certification the final permit was not on the superstitiously system the question about taxes it was relevant the city of san francisco the air resources board all the business taxes have been collected over the past at least 26 years i'm aware of have been paid number two, of the operation of the body shop the air resources of the board will not allow harmful chemicals you can't go anywhere and buy on illegal can of paint their

concerns are well found by misguided it's against the law to sell a harm fill sews the few times are harmless they're certified by the body shop for the last 2 of years 15 through ate body and doing the things we're doing to make that booth compliant is something i'm doing that's what i show do when i buthd or bought the building the booth was there and again the city certified that booth the last 26 years i can't imagine why the hysteria and everybody knows the body shop and half the people got they're doing cars painted there picture that they were showing we talked about

that car is parked outside the booth i'll actual right now that painter will not paint a car on a saturday night i'll guarantee you that. >> sir. >> mr. sanchez. >> scott sanchez adapting the record is clear we have a non-conforming use the zoning administrator loud this to continue knowing it was a garage for any reason repairs minor in the domestic violence of the planning code and major will complied the spray booth they're seeking to legalize this is a residential zoning district the zone explicit allow for major auto repair we're denied the permit the record is clear the planning department may not have the complaints but there's a long history of compliments on

the property and the brief that was submitted by itself neighbors exhibit e the fire department in 1994 stating that they were no permits for operation of that during the routine inspection the inspection was seeing that was used a second violation was issued and ordered them to stop that's an explanation why they've not been a long history of the planning department over the years there's been orders to not operate that spray booth without permits the complaint are appearing on our record in 2012 there was a change in the operation that was a complaint and a year ago another complaint saying a new tenant was operating a spray booth so doesn't there is no priority that allows the spray booth that's why they're being so i get to legalize it we cannot

because it represents a non-conforming use it doesn't meet the standards we cannot prove the use we denied it and it is on appeal we respectfully request i uphold the appeal and prevent the densification and. >> there was a fair amount of neighborhood option in 1994. >> you going to enlighten us what happened. >> i was on planning code. >> thank you for correcting the record. >> thank you commissioners the matter is submitted. >> i'm sorry may i ask more questions of inspector kern. >> are you aware of any notice of violations that have obey issued would that come before the board. >> i never legalized the facts there's no permits on it we

don't know what complaints have come in yet maybe through the fire department or another agencies i've not seen complaint. >> so the history from the building inspection. >> it indicates that was never permitted. >> that's what you're history says thank you. >> mr. sanchez this seems to be reasonably sfraurld not to do with the fumes or air issues that is about the non common use so to me it's clear-cut. >> i'm having a harder time it's been there since 1976 so the permitting and complaints if it's not been supported to be there for 40 years. >> i'm sorry your time is up. >> and a lot of the uses in san francisco are 2k3wr5rgd in and

not prevail we'll not be able to have those services here so at this point we'll go to south san francisco to do our repair work. >> agreed but you know the documentation here is extremely clear in terms of was what or not allowed more than one time that's what i normally would agree that you know when one has an operation that perhaps as zoning laws change non-conforming there wish use not allows but still in operation because they were in operation prior to zoning changes and neighborhood changes but neighborhood not necessarily but that in this issue i think the the allowable use was quite

clearly state went through multiple seegsz especially at the last one in the 4 so therefore i don't find it is permitted. >> i'll move to deny the appeal and uphold the planning department decision. >> on the basis. >> on the basis that the use being sought is not in conformity with the planning code. >> thank you mr. pacheco. >> there's a motion on the floor from the president to uphold the denial of the permit on the basis that the use being sought in conformity with the planning code. >> obtain that motion to uphold

this march 18, 2015. >> commissioner fung and commissioner vice president honda. >> no commissioner wilson thank you. the vote is 3 to one this denial is uphold open that basis thank you. >> commissioner president lazarus no further business we're adjourned. >> okay >> can everybody hear me thank you for hosting us all i'm john the councilmember gloria vice

president and along with my much nor talented colleagues and megan our program managers i offer see the responsibility of zen detect when we they moved no inviting one of the things we've heard loud and clear was the importance of the hiring locally and many technology growing companies we're distancing in search of specific talents those are hard to find in the bay area in the neighborhood of san francisco but as you sit here now detection has a great relationship with the office of economic workforce development and currently sits on the investment board this is where

we learned ambassador tech sf graduation and the local jobs training program to provide relevant skills several conversations led us to the realized the faster way to create zen dick technology to train the san franciscans on our product that will fast track them to an important job in as you sit here now deck some of the tens of thousands of people that use as you sit here now deck if not employed while having still have a foundation in customer support and experience as well as the state of the art i'm to introduce mayor ed lee that as you sit

of strong neighborhoods thank you to the leadership give my best to the entire staff there because as strons as passionate in the job training for the 21st century jobs we need partners that are more experienced as you that kind of citizens of volunteerism is takes the hours and weekends and the attitude to folks that are in the community looking to see if they can gain skill sets with the new jobs and what they're doing in the clooks with tech sf starbucks a good training for people to see i have the confidence i don't have to be at the best engineering schools to get a job and we've often said the tonnage industry

the standard for what we want to happy in the city and we need it technology for many years and i think people in the room remember those are room we talked about the digital divide how we'll be able to catch with tomcast or those internet essentials they're providing or 12 companies they're going so fast he didn't think the jobs were going to be driver's license we need this link if you will, so those jobs i emphasis your programmers you can be folks helping with customer service center to be of great support and those days more and more as companies

establish their companies they need the mechanism and this is why the third and i hope tenth cohorts of trainers that come out with the skill sets to repeating really join in a comfortable way the movement towards the digital jobs that are present here in the city and that we also will signal to the companies that i look forward to their literally going through tech sf and hiring the folks that are out the basic training i'm all for a what he can excitingly see those weeks of boat camping is allotting a truly a boat camp you're going right into job opportunity there and our tech companies don't
