that's out of my recommendation i'm recommending those regarded as a massage therapist. >> we're talking about establishments so i think i mean one could say if you have one definition it is item 4 but the direction to commissioner tang to work to create a definition that parallels ass this as a house industry progression so that then once this definition is created then it minimize the need for conditional use. >> it is kind of what i'm hearing our saying. >> i think the grrth is very clear and as far as the cu we're saying that the c should not apply to a category of practitioners as supervisor tang

or as the experts will define it shouldn't apply to everybody and if the purpose is to limit illicit activities not do that to the detriment of the legitimate and professionals in the field is that's the - and right. right so i think we're trying to get at how we say that we want this group of health care professionals mansion age therapist to be defined as health care professionals like the other health care professionals that does not require conditional use and what those others are whether their dental technicians or occupational thooefts i don't know the clarification but get

help from the group so that the supervisor has a rational for creating that class of health care professionals that meet the various needs of people whether they be physical or warehousehatever, whatever therapy is required. >> have we boiled it down. >> the recommendation is the first recommendation is that your - excuse me. the - sorry i'm trying to that how to do that in terms of taking direct action to file none 141303 is you're recommending not approval for

the reasons you've stipulated in terms of the reasons around conditional use. >> yes. >> at the same time, we're talking about planning there is a need to for the planning department we're recommending the planning department create a means to grandfather. >> correct. >> correct. >> i second that. >> okay. so with that i will say that commissioner president dwight merely made the motion (laughter) and commissioner adams seconded roll call. >> commissioner adams commissioner dooley commissioner president dwight commissioner ortiz-cartagena commissioner l. riley commissioner tour-sarkissian commissioner white

all right. so then you've unanimously approved that recommendation to be passed on to supervisor tang and to the planning commission so i think that is it for those who are here for item 4 and 5. >> thank you for your input and time it was great input. >> all right. commissioners, i shall move on to item number - yes. >> deanna. >> deanna thank you very much and diego thank you very much appreciate it, it's yours. >> all right. so commissioners we are generally this meeting

does have a hard stop at four but the next meeting is detailed so i'm going to just for item number of update on the development and preemption of the legacy program we're not going to get into a detailed discussion i'm highlighting the changes that have been made and passed out of the board of supervisors and then at our april 13th meeting we'll get into the detailed discussions of work on the program and establishing the registry program under item 6 i've already informed you that supervisor campos had taken out of the legislation the rebate incentives and that discussion is take place in terms of looking at what we can do to have more robust financial

incentive i think this is going to take awhile to look at all the various nuance and things available we'll start that because those will be recommendations the commission needs to make and it's final list for the program so that will be coming before you but a significant change that happened if you'll turn to page 2 so page 2 item b start on line 3 purpose of this section for 2a 242 legacy business needs a business that has been nominated by the board of supervisors or the mayor and the small business commission after a noticed

hearing determines the following criteria so what's been struck are suggestions of specific industry so this now i think will require if the commission to develop some stronger administration guidelines for the departmentalized to work with it requires that i meet with the board of supervisors to get an understanding as to what their determination you know what their idea of a legacy business is and in addition to the mayor and for you as well so but the other items that have remained the business operate in san francisco for thirty years without a break exposing 2 years and the business is operated and

that business is laurtd in san francisco the business has contributed to neighborhood history or neighborhoods or community the business is committed to cvs the features that define the business and that there's a fee involved and the other item initially the legislation has a june 30th date in which the commission was to develop a legacy business program and registry application criteria this is now been extended to september 30th. >> yeah. >> so because of time we will get into the timeline at the next meeting and i also want to inform you

that i've been in discussion with mike buehler from sf heritage the hell man family fund i believe we've jointly piloted through sf heritage but that is a joint partnership with sf heritage office of small business and the family fund to apply for a grant to help do some of the research analysis programming defining to help us with that so we'll see if we get it and it will you know ♪ doing so moot our timeline oh and lastly i should say i'm so sorry i did talk to the historic i made a presentation to the historic preservation commission and the historic preservation commission has a committee that is now taking a

look at another cultural legacy so this does have a specific overlap the legacy businesses with cultural legacy many of the cultural districts are cultural districts because of businesses there so there is much interest on their part and also being engaged with this process and want to have continual updates and provide feedback and if relevant at any time to do joint commission meetings as well >> thanks. >> all right. now, what do we do >> we'll move on. >> any public comment? >> okay welcome.

>> hello, i'm shelly i'm staff with the planning department and staff to the historic preservation commission and i sit here today to just let you think that the cultural heritage assets committee is a new commission they started meeting in january of this year specifically to deal with the issue of cultural heritage and how do we protect it and support it our traditionally landmarking designation are not board enough to support the uses ego businesses and so we're exploring ways the city can develop new programs to do that so their obviously really existed about the legacy heritage i'm sorry i'm going to mix terms so they're excited about the legacy business program and would like to play a part in developing that cree that this

commission will use to dominate businesses to the register and hope bmw's for the next couple of months the committee is holding hearing inviting speakers from city agencies and communities would have an interest in the cultural heritage to share ideas and to lower than better what the landscape needs are for the particular areas so i wanted to off our support if there's anything we can do in terms of research or our past experienced with the japantown or the cultural heshlg and economic strategy we could on two years ago or our work with the investment neighborhoods program we will be happy to

share experience. >> are driver's license any other cities that have done that. >> no, that's the scary part we don't have precedent to look to internationally there's been recognize of intangible heritage assets for quite a while the legislation passed about 10 years ago or more but at the national and state level we don't have programs to look for that's one of the things we strurlgd with in the japantown experience to target cultural businesses institutions nonprofits in trying to find a way to support them we had to start basically at the beginning what are the criteria to define them so we came up with a method dissolution to help the community to find what we meant by cultural heritage.

>> okay thanks more later. >> okay any further public comment seeing none, next item, please. >> item no. 7 is the director's report and i will be belief i just want to let you know we're completed one hover and for jane old position and her name is carl oil she'll be starting next monday. >> congratulations. >> also, we were our office was broechd by the sheriff's department captain extensively pulling son and chief they have a lot of programs really dealing with recidivism for men and not really many for women so they have a women's resource center

for women that are coming out of jail to be able to connect into services and so they want to create a coffee cart as a social entrepreneur program to train women to be bar status so i met with them to kind of talk them through what this may be from a business operational side and so this is kind of an exciting thing for us to be partnering with the sheriff's office to help to get a program that will support those women reentering and getting jobs in the private sector. >> workplace i'll leave my director's report there. >> great. >> so we'll move on to

president report. >> i have nothing to report next item. >> item 9 vice president report. >> on to item 10. >> commissioner reports. >> no one seeing none, move on (laughter). >> okay all right. you got lots of meetings. >> moving on to 0 new business. >> item 11 new bus and seeing none. >> and item 12 is motion a adjourn. >> i motion to adjourn. >> i second it. >> all in favor, say i. all right. the month to month is adjourned at

>> there has been an acknowledgement of the special places around san francisco bay. well, there is something sort of innate in human beings, i think, that tend to recognize a good spot when you see it, a spot that takes your breath away. this is one of them. >> an icon of the new deal. >> we stood here a week ago and we heard all of these dignitaries talk about the symbol that coit tower is for san francisco. it's interesting for those of us in the pioneer park project is trying to make the point that not only the tower not

only this man-built edifice here is a symbol of the city but also the green space on which it sits and the hill to which is rests. to understand them you have to understand the topography of san francisco. early days of the city, the city grows up in what is the financial district on the edge of chinatown. everything they rely on for existence is the golden gate. it's of massive importance to the people what comes in and out of san francisco bay. they can't see it where they are. they get the idea to build a giant wooden structure. the years that it was up here, it gave the name telegraph hill. it survived although the structure is long gone. come to the 1870's and the city has growed up remarkably. it's fueled with money from the nevada silver mines and the gold rush. it's trying to be the paris of the west. now the beach is the suburbs,

the we will their people lived on the bottom and the poorest people lived on the top because it was very hard getting to the top of telegraph hill. it was mostly lean-to sharks and bits of pieces of houses up here in the beginning. and a group of 20 businessmen decided that it would be better if the top of the hill remained for the public. so they put their money down and they bought four lots at the top of the hill and they gave them to the city. lily hitchcock coit died without leaving a specific use for her bequest. she left a third of her estate for the beautify indication of the city. arthur brown noted architect in the city wanted for a while to build a tower. he had become very interested in persian towers. it was the 1930's. it was all about machinery and sort of this amazing architecture very powerful architecture. he convinced the rec park commission that building a

tower in her memory would be the thing to do with her money. >> it was going to be a wonderful observation place because it was one of the highest hills in the city anywhere and that that was the whole reason why it was built that high and had the elevator access immediately from the beginning as part of its features. >> my fear's studio was just down the street steps. we were in a very small apartment and that was our backyard. when they were preparing the site for the coit tower there was always a lot of harping and griping about how awful progress was and why they would choose this beautiful pristine area to do them in was a big question. as soon as the coit tower was getting finished and someone put in the idea that it should be used for art then all of a

sudden, he was excited about the coit tower. it became almost like a daily destination for him to enjoy the atmosphere no matter what the politics, that wasn't the point. as long as they fit in and did their work and did their own creative expression, that was all that was required. they turned in their drawings. the drawings were accepted. if they snuck something in, well, there weren't going to be any stoolies around. they made such careful little diagrams of every possible little thing about it as though that was just so important and that they were just the big frog. and, actually, no one ever felt that way about them and they

weren't considered something like that. in later life when people would approach me and say well, what did you know about it? we were with him almost every day and his children, we grew up together and we didn't think of him as a commie and also the same with the other. he was just a family man doing normal things. no one thought anything of what he was doing. some of them were much more highly trained. it shows in my estimation, in the murals. this was one of the masterpieces. families at home was a lot more close to the life that i can remember that we lived. murals on the upper floors like the children playing on the

swings and i think the little deer in the forest where you could come and see them in the woods and the sports that were always available, i think it did express the best part of our lives. things that weren't costing money to do, you would go to a picnic on the beach or you would do something in the woods. my favorite of all is in the staircase. it's almost a miracle masterpiece how he could manage to not only fit everyone of course, a lot of them i recognized from my childhood -- it's how he juxtaposed and managed to kind of climb up that stairway on either side very much like you are walking down a street. it was incredible to do that and to me, that is what depicted the life of the times in san francisco. i even like the ones that show

the industrial areas, the once with the workers showing them in the cannery and i can remember going in there and seeing these women with the caps, with the nets shuffling these cans through. my parents had a ranch in santa rosa and we went there all summer. i could see these people leaning over and checking. it looked exactly like the beautiful things about the ranch. i think he was pretty much in the never look back philosophy about the coit. i don't think he ever went to visit again after we moved from telegraph hill which was only five or six years later. i don't think he ever had to see it when the initials are scratched into everything and people had literally destroyed

the lower half of everything. >> well in my view, the tower had been pretty much neglected from the 1930's up until the 1980's. it wasn't until then that really enough people began to be alarmed about the condition of the murals, the tower was leaking. some of the murals suffered wear damage. we really began to organize getting funding through the arts commission and various other sources to restore the murals. they don't have that connection or thread or maintain that connection to your history and your past, what do you have? that's one of the major elements of what makes quality of life in san francisco so incredible. when people ask me and they ask me all the time, how do you get to coit tower, i say you walk. that's the best way to

experience the gradual elevation coming up above the hustle and bustle of the city and finding this sort of oasis, if you will at the top of the hill. when i walk through this park, i look at these brick walls and this lawn, i look at the railings around the murals. i look at the restoration and i think, yeah, i had something to do with that. learning the lessons thank you, landmarks meet landmarks. the current situation at pioneer park and coit tower is really based in public and private partnership. it was the citizens who came together to buy the land to keep it from being developed. it was lily hitchcock coit to give money to the city to beautify the city she loved of the park project worked to develop this south side and still that's the basis of our

future project to address the north side. >> ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ it looks at good and tastes good and it is good in my mouth pretty amazing. >> ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ i am the executive chef i've been here as a chef at la
