9:11 pm
9:12 pm
i'm paying for rent you know and i cannot ask to pay rent i don't know whether it is going to happen or not the outdoor of the building is boarded up and we are going to restore to the original and inside a small operation new bathroom and couple of tables and the food is going to be speciality informed not like others delis we're going to having organic and new people in the neighborhood that they like places organic food basically a simple operation and we got torrid of the one of the are we to understand i took this

9:14 pm
>> commissioner richards question for the zoning administrator this is why. >> for limited restaurant uses those trigger the conditional use authorization. >> there's no concentration issues there's a mentioned. >> section one the finding the commission considered the concentration of eating and drinking within 3 heed feet of the party and the existing number is barely 72 percent and goes up to 73 percent. >> the trigger the recommended balance is i know we have some it was 20 or 25 the neighborhood is a special designation how to. >> section 3030 says the figure should be 24 berries percent but not requiring a certain number
9:15 pm
the commission has the ability given certain facts adhere density levels of eating and drink and the leaguer portion of the neighborhood to the east is a residential zoning district those are not counting towards the density other residential unit nearby. >> i think a couple of things the concentration is strong we have this kind of submittal i don't know what the purple or reds i think on the action item the rules committee will do recommendations but this is another thing we've talked about sushi bar this is interesting we want to think about this this is facing us so again, thank you.
9:16 pm
>> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i think this is a case of evolution i assume 50 or 60 years ago more neighborhoods being served but the demographics changed or those don't pat in his it enough force to support this of the neighborhood serve operations that results in 17 vacancies in the area i think this is a step in the right direction to meet both needs maybe i could ask project sponsor or staff that is going to have the ability for people to purchase things to take out rather than consume on site. >> i believe the project
9:17 pm
sponsor indicated yes, but he'll come forward. >> it is anticipated the most of that will be bought to take out to take home. >> great, thank you and also there going to be items you think prepared items available for purchase you talked about it being a french butcher shop. >> everything will be made on the premises to order but people can eat it there if they like. >> it won't be a meat market like poultry. >> my experience which is pretty strong i am sure in north beach is retail serving businesses role are a thing the past it is just what retails there was is turning into franchises
9:18 pm
and it is - >> thank you it is kind of my observation in the area it would be novice if we shopped in our neighborhoods and bought our things in the neighborhood but with the evolution of costco's shopping it makes it hard for neighborhood to have retail things particular tough in an area with elevation changes hopping down the hill to pick up something is a little bit tough internal revenue than more neighborhoods i'm in support i agree with the supervisors moore and others said the staff reports have to be more competitive in the future. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much just real quick i'm in support of this project but for the
9:19 pm
staffer for this particular case it seems as although i can't remember the whole list of criteria for businesses to not be inevitable for this program i'm asking specifically it sort of a various from our requirement part of it for example, their increasing the concentration above the recommended amount of eating establishment in this area it this isn't going you find this to be the case you'll have to pull it out of regular program or. >> for the record with the planning department commissioner johnson the answer is no it didn't disqualify a project for the qualification i'm pulling it up on the crone based on the nature of the use
9:20 pm
long with the list of usual explicitly disqualified the fact someone is seek a conditional use is not in and of itself a disqualification. >> commissioner moore. >> to my previous point i maintain my position should someone in the neighborhood is have an objection nothing on the web to inform themselves whether or not they accept or reject it except what you say in writing with a restaurant in that location when the neighborhood commercial corridor clearly states the objectives in the area so it is a very disadvantage and i'll have to vote no. >> commissioner antonini. >> move to approve. >> commissioner richards. >> this is a comment no one has
9:21 pm
to answer i've been in so some small towns in new york their retail and restaurants probably a lot less than 75 percent i ask myself why, why is it different they have amazon i don't get it even in switzerland it is pretty much everywhere i've been. >> commissioners a there is a motion and a second commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore no. >> commissioner richards no arrest commissioner wu and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes 5 to two with commissioner moore and commissioner richards voting against. >> commissioners that will now places you under or on item 13
