environmental impact report comments which assesses the commitment from the result of implementation from the west side cycle water project this was delivered to you staff is not here to respond to comments on the environmental analysis they'll be transcribed and in writing and responses to documents which will respond during the public comment period and may include provisions to the draft eir this is not for approval or disapproval of the project that will be held in the financial eir meeting comments if the public should be directed i directed towards the accuracy and commensurate are asked to speak slowly and accurately for

the court reporter after comment from the general public comment we take comments from the draft environmental impact report and the public comment began on march 18 since this is a local san francisco project that is the only hearing on the draft eir being held unless the commissioners have comments i recommend the hamburger be opened. >> opening it up for public comment i have two speaker cards richard and katherine howard. >> if your name has been called feel free to approach the podium. >> good afternoon,

commissioners katherine golden gate portion all to talk about the statement they have reconstruct the city of site within golden gate park this proposed plant will place a 40 square feet high at the end of the ocean park beach an area designated in the golden gate master plan eir further states following the scope period it was held a public workshop to get feedback on the potential project sites we want to state that is an adequate description we want to thank you for talking about the

protection of golden gate park did the puc licensed and estates in the eir they moved the project out of golden gate park the represent department wanted to place this in golden gate park and stated a 40 thesis square feet factory was appropriate and the charter requirement of the recreation use because it provides water for the park following this bizarre reasoning one could install oil wells or factories to measures those gardens perhaps the vision of an income stream from the motivation for this position of non-stvpd of our major parks we're here to voucher for the

accuracy. >> thank you to the puc for following an open process and listening to the people of san francisco and protecting golden gate park thank you. >> is there any additional public comment. >> good job commissioners chair rodney aim richard fong i live here locally my interest in particular project whether or not the zoo is going to be environmental review whether in the zoo this large project over 8 hundred

thousand gallons in the lot area when they did that they brought in three or four hundred hours power fortes motors in the parking lot area would then drift all around the plans and the animals of the zoo when i looked that thoroughly i didn't like that too much at all we have animals in our zoo that are rare and ensdargsdz species not necessarily of the red-legged frog or bats but we have our own animals environmentally this leaves a shock when you have 1 on standby motors ready to pump this water all the way to the presidio and the golden gate park and other places it will

cause a lot of the disturbances to retained and people around the area i don't have the ability to try to explain what kind of impact with the animals at the zoo everything is about the cost of piping i'd like to see this deferred to a later time specifically when the look at the alternatives there one big part missing they don't want to do anything the water i want to bring forward they have a decelebration at san diego county it is somewhere around 15 million gallons a day i look at this project may 5 million gallons a day we have here in

san francisco of 25 million gallons a day it is simple math we have to find a better source of generating water we have a large area you'll it will be puc trying to take the land that the california reservoirs s are using a training area it is going to be a lousy environmental review open the zoo if they put that below i'd like to see the alternative thank you. >> is there any additional public comment okay public comment is closed. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. my only comments have to do what is not analyzed here about the the of exclusion of the analysis for the plan that was before the voters 20 years

ago maybe arbitrate more a bond measure that had to do with irrigation of golden gate park at this time it didn't uses the recycled water part of the bond measure was the storage facilities in sunset heights has a advantage of a drop in elevation for irrigation in golden gate park one of the lower areas of the city and might make less pumping necessary because, of course once you've got the water into the reservoir probably gravity will allow to do a better job than the irrigation i notice you're going up to the presidio with a separate pump station but the idea of mentioning the analysis should also look as an alternative to using the heights

we have particle the sunset high area is extremely high and perhaps minimize the amount of energy especially, when the years of drought we could restore water as we move through the years this is my comments on what is not in the report what i can see. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much i also don't have as much comment on the technical aspects of the analysis i feel this is inadequate analysis i'll add on the project description both in the synopsis and across the document great to understand the potential for this project after further increases in captivity particularly residential gray

water i did not see a lot about that that may have - i don't know what further impacts the increases 90 in captivity so i mentioned the potential for the sites being used thank you. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further move on to item 11 alternates to the planning for the castro street commercial district on 24th street noah valley the upper market transit district and parcels zoned nc t on market street west of octavia boulevard those are code amendments. >> good afternoon diego san

i'll be presenting an owners for the medical uses and financial uses as those mentioned, however, prior to my presentation i'd like to provide a time for ask supervisor wieners. >> i need to recuse myself. >> motion to recuse commissioner richards. >> on that motion to recuse commissioner richards sorry i'm making notes on the wrong item number. >> commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner wu commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes commissioner richards you are hereby recused. >> good afternoon,

commissioners andy deceased power with supervisor wiener thank you for this opportunity this legislation i'll speak briefly included projects along the octavia boulevard the castro street and 18 nc d and noah valley nc d and the owners is geared towards our retail corridors remain actively 86 it tweaks the information for the corridor on market street from octavia boulevard west it makes legislation interim controls that were put in place last year to insure that new ground floor retails that's been put in along market street doesn't turnover to you know don't you'll turn offer 0 real estate and insurance brokers that's the

trend the controls along market street we envision require a cu for the ground floor but we're not requiring a cu if they were to go into ground floor or second-story and the goal to sensitive vices the floors other than the ground floor and then for 24th street in addition to that jeopardy idea we're including medical use and current controls permit- when the hardware store on 24th street transmissions without a public process to the intent of the controls to incentivize we aim to do this by incentive

vision zero ground floor and incentive vision zero less actually uses than the greater we work closely with our small business partners and are in strong support and at the to derlg. >> as stayed the ordinance requires confuse for business professional used located on the first floor the noah valley and long upper market as well as it requires medical services located on the 24th street noah valley mc d and requires for limited financial services locating on the first story in the along market street west of octavia departments is in support of this ordinance for the following reasons the neighborhood

commercial allow the controls for particular concerns it addresses the mixed use on the first floor and the various activity two one of the goals controlled to strike a balance between the different types of mixed use it includes floors above the frfr in addition to the street level and it supports it the public process for derrick among other things whether their appropriately located and they will have those types of ground floor uses and in some locations they'll remain economically viable commissioners between the time of publication and for today and this hamburger i've received one

letter of support i'm providing this to you now this that concludes my presentation. and i'm available to answer any questions thank you. >> opening it up for public comment comment. >> i saw permitted second-story and in the context of the article in the chronicle last week open monday with the examination of houses in the you know the retail open the lower and then you know housing up above and increasing the density i just don't quite see why those should be permitted if we're trying to get housing more

housing on noah valley imi don't know i'm not a planner it is contrary to the whole idea of creating housing in those commercial corridors not bicycles i can imagine a situation like the ramps that are small like some someone says oh gee i'd like to have an office on noah valley that is great i can go down to the cool places in the article for lunch i don't know why c to p i understand the thing been tug hardware the reason he sold first of all they had the best deal. >> promised to preserve the building that's not the total thing that people are upset

about the medical office i can understand why some would be they promised to preserve the building they took the old sign with the nails up 90 in the window that's necessity only question why would we want to set up a situation especially open 24th street where offices which is what busy businesses and professional services could be permitted that's my question if you want to make it you know a transit corridor that's liveable on the second-story and above thank you very much. >> so no to more government regulation to social quality thank you is there any additional public comment okay public comment is

closed. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i understand the purpose here and to just clarify we have neighborhood commercial streets and areas that have different standards we've been through a lot of hearing on union street i remember a business wanted to locate to the second-story it was so residential a had to get an exception for the establishment but this idea of second-story to keep the ground floor active uses sometimes in the evening that people will enlighten the street rather than having business and professionals which often close at 5 o'clock in the earning and have a bunch of dead storefront they'll be located on the second floor obviously we

want to build as much housing as possible and having housing open the two story but it is an active street and i'm in support of the way it's being done but i do want to make sure as we analyze all our commercial easier we also take into consideration in other places where you know using the two story for those type of uses might open up more lively uses only the main floor and probably you know would be a wise thing to do i can see it piloted in other neighborhoods in addition to it being proposed by itself supervisor. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much yeah. i definitely agree with the continued of the legislation looking at it it requires a cu

for business and professional services on the two story or third-story it seems i understand the the president to sort drive those to the second-story but it seems arbitrary i want to either the supervisors office or staff could we achieve the same intent by either having cu business professional services along the nc t or allowing the principally permitted on the second-story it is arbitrary to me. >> diego san those uses are not loudly in the testing program so if there's a concern about

retracking those approvals there's a uses. >> okay. >> you can make a it principally from the 3-r report perhaps andrea can speak to that. >> we're open to recommendations from the commission basically we were trying to do the current controls have an incentive open the ground floor to require additional process on the second-story so we looked at the and honestly not that must destruction on the controls whether we should change the controls on the 3-r report we are open to recommendations. >> i make the recommendations we make that change principle on the 2r9 and third-story on the fact that as 7, 8, 9 going on we start to see certainty lots not rebuild but over the years i know this will make sense.

>> commissioner hillis. >> just a question for staff on where this is citywide because i think this is good legislation you have places lie west port authority and upper market and real estate companies and medical offices tend to be larger and get into the street so this is good and could be expanded elsewhere what's the land it is is mixed bag or an incentive everywhere else to put them on the first floor instead of the certifying. >> diego san those are the types of uses only in the haze and warrant and fillmore out of the 40 district only 5 have it type of incentive.

>> in the other district you take west portal do you do is on the first year or need a cu. >> i'll need a cu. >> commissioner moore. >> i think that this legislation is sensitive particularly i have to assume i know that the supervisor knows the area and the subtle difference between the streets which will effect quite well, i'll be hesitant to extend without more discussion or the specific neighborhoods or the supervisors because i think that will create an intimate knowledge of how those streets are different the most important thing to enhance ground floor active retail and the subtle actions that follow the professional services to move on

two story third-story i trust the supervisor knows the difference i'll inclined to support the representation that could include a examination and commissioner antonini. >> i'm supportive i think of the naked we have to differentiate between what is permitted the west portal in the 60s everything was oriented towards parking lot they tore down two story third-story buildings and hopefully one day we'll have buildings built is multiple floors and uses on the upper levels because it is

exciting today didn't mean the uses are existing maybe not what happened then will happen today. >> commissioner johnson. >> i agree with commissioner moore's stance on that recommendation to the supervisors office with that i'll make a motion that we recommend approval of the amendments to the planning code with a represents that the supervisors investigate making special services principally permitted open the third-story. >> second. >> thank you, commissioners on that motion to adapt a recommendation for approval as a amended to include the supervisor future study making professional and business on the

third-story. >> commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner wu and commissioner chair wu. >> so moved, commissioners, that motion passes 5 to zero. >> commissioners i'll say we're trying to keep a 3:00 p.m. for the short-term rental discussion we have two items remaining items 12 and 13 and collectively about 18 speaker cards pointing out as advise to the commissioners commissioners telephone ab for the cases at 4022 on fourth street conditional use authorization and variance please note on march 26 commissioners you held a public hearing and closed public comment you continued this matter to today by a vote

of 6 to zero commissioner antonini you left earlier have viewed the video if you could acknowledge. >> i viewed the entire hearing i think i'm have famous with the remaining issues and hopefully can add to the process. >> thank you. appreciate that. >> and you had a recommendation on timeing of presentation is that right. >> oh thank you because this has been heard the practice to reduce the sponsor and i believe some organized opposition to this to 3 minutes each and any any public comment to one minute. >> thank you good afternoon commissioners michael smith planning staff you have a project before you on

24th street proposing to construct a third-story rear addition to the rear yard line at the ground floor requiring a rear yard variance it will add two dwelling units to with with off-street parking it will be combaelgd which is greater than the permitted secret for within this district and requires a cu the former bar will be commemorated into a bar slash restaurant doing business as as tom ryan and maintained the entertainment use the sponsor is seeking to amend the motion which authorized the are entertainment use to expand the hours and days for entertainment use permit a.m. if i had entertainment and remove the restriction on seating proposed restaurant bar burglary
