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

you tend of the last hearing ass asked us to discuss the hours of operation for the entertainment uses and places of entertainment permit and we were not able to reach an agreement on that and i would propose somewhat different hours than the motion is proposing and jonas if you can passed this larger the hours are emphasizing evening and late night hours for the uses we propose this is primarily a restaurant a lot of money is being invested into a high quality combroirn space one of the terrific architect in noah valley put a lot of effort into this we want this to serve the larger community we're proposing afternoon hours

especially during the week i 12kribd what we propose an interim plan within the time period we can demonstrate that mr. salters sound mitigation plan for this structure really will contain audible sound they are concerned about how bad the situation was with the bliss bar if we do not expand this commercial space and put in a kitchen at the restore we'll have little choice to work in the space we put a bar in the configuration and that's not beneficial to the xhurpt we're proposing to replace a bar that

employees 5 people's to have a restaurant serving indemnify budget analyst and lunch and late night dinner that employees between thirty and 35 people on a full-time and part time basis we should encourage this the in community and an investment and well-designed by the architect well within the what is appropriate for this location i'll ask you to consider those hours as interim plan and let the entertainment commission say whether we have or have not compiled with the good neighbor policy and see how we'll operate going forward thank you very much. >> hi for representative of the

opposition could present in 3 minutes. >> just place it right there. >> i'd like to have what i'm talking about okay. >> it is your time is running. >> in creativity to number 4 you heard 14 letters in support and no opposition we have exactly the opposite we have at least 25 comments in opposition and in 3 days we've gathered petitions one hundred people in 3 days signed a petition saying they does not want this configuration they don't want our green space but our fruit trees to disappear and the hours first point i want to make it so clear from 7 to 8.1 a specific code retro to noah valley that a

small-scale of new buildings and neighborhood services is encouraged in open space corridors and all levels are protected they want to come back and destroy 22 year-old fruit trees in you look at the corridor for noah valley this is exactly what they're talking about 24 on one side and ethic on the other side and accident corridor this is what is supposed to be protected secondly the code section says this is a daytime might want use district it needs to have more unit and quite frankly if it's a bar or restaurant and within the space enlightenment this is fine lastly it is important to note that one letter received in

support and this is in our packet in support of this project from the noah valley merchant association the letter is general you'll not know from reading the letter steak what was presented to the merchants association when they gave their enforcement their minutes on online clearly state the owners thoichld they'll be building a sub floor basement nor the kitchen two things actually 3 things the noise from the kitchen sub basement like another establishment it didn't encroach into the protected rear yard and the noise and the odors of kitchen are kept below i don't know what we can do get one hundred signatures in 3 days

to convince you this is not supported by the neighborhood at all thank you. >> thank you. >> the remain speakers will each have one minute. >> just the commissioners. >> for those who are wade to speckle please line up on the screen side of the room not to block the door. >> can i speak from this microphone here. >> you may.

lemons from the backyard we say no to late night amplified entertainment noah valley values precious green space. >> sir, your time is up. >> sir we have your packet. >> thank you. >> good afternoon and thank you. i'm it is a great opportunity to speak i'm bruce i live on elizabeth street as i said before and said again and again this is not the right project for this neighborhood it clearly isn't and the code that exists is fine for the neighborhood as a daytime mixed use and it is just simply consistent i'll add one other thing whatever comes up something has to be done with the blight and eye sore that looks at like bosnia than san

francisco the construction noise needs to be held down on the weekend and shouldn't be constructed on the weekends abused of the people in the neighborhood thank you very much thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is sandra macintire i live close to the corner of 24th street i'd like to show you a video of what 2w0urg9d looks like on a saturday night at midnight so you have a flavor of what our neighborhood is truly like. >> what is interrupted if this project moves forward with amplified music. >> your time is running you may want to try to get in some

comments. >> on 24th street sngz almost all the businesses are closed and it's quiet. >> this is the vicinity of the bar it is on 24th street past where bliss is. >> thank you your time is up. >> next speaker thank you. >> my name is richard i live on elizabeth street i think the fact that this project those project sponsors require so many variance in order to procedure is a clear warning to the commission that intends to exceed the excellent planning code that kept innovating to live able to the rear yards

variance is without a doubt the worst project we're seeing what this will do to the area it fact it conveyance mature frustrate trees this is not green space it is very lively bio mass with roots that go very far down and created a soil this is important to the quality of life in san francisco our tree cover is small that is one bit of it if approved this variance they'll excavate. >> thank you. sir, your time is up. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello, i signed the petition and agree with the neighborhoods i think the most important thing it the rear yard i think that people live on elizabeth is a lot of 0 noah valley 24th street

is residential those people that are going to live there in the 4 unit they might want those trees too i think you need to consider preserving those and not allowing the evaporates. >> consider where is the exhaust from this kitchen. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi, i'm jenny i live on elizabeth street been 9 years i wanted to emphasize that i concerns about the noise specifically i remember the day's with when the bar was immediately behind my property and the noise from the bash at the time it was dj or some sort of music it allowed for my family i will caution against any sort of item that is going to come in and be noisy i'm a

little bit skeptical of the noise that will be put in place only halfway measures from a dribble behind the property prospective i want emphasis. >> hi, i'm amy a homeowner on elizabeth street for 11 years i want to go back to the family-friendly character of noah valley and really reinforce i don't support to the motion anything that amplified entertainment expanded hours this removal of the seating with the new one basically you're laying the foundation for a night club to exist in noah valley whether or not you're laying the foundation for a 99

to operate in noah valley this is not keeping in character with noah valley it keeps noah valley from being a family-friendly neighborhood i urge you to do everything you can not to let this had happy. >> i'd like to not on mr. paul's proposal it is surprisingly to me that he suggests that this and would indicate that we would be trusting him to ensure they'll not keep down for 3 months and a louder environment we have people in noah valley that don't have garages we're approving we're approving in house in
