meeting with the community members how to make that a win-win we have discussed and agreed to were for example, the hours of operation switch from a.m. to midnight a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and removing one pump it will go to 8 fueling positions and we'll make design changes per the neighborhood recommendations and we reduce the size of the store to 021 heed sheet and the store room to 11 heed square feet we had it is below grade just to have a yeah, that's the project if anyone has questions i'm here

to answer any questions. >> thank you. i'm sure we'll have questions opening it up for public comment judy. >> hello commission thank you for license to me my name is judy i've been a bay area resident since 1987 he san francisco since 1988 my husband and i and 4 children live a half block away from in sight i overlook the shelf gas station bringing in a large convenience store implication is operates late into the night it is a residential neighborhood our business on fulsome i get it

there are many homes and families that live in this neighborhood i'm concerned by operating late at night until 2 amen midnight that's operating late into the night not much going on into the night life if there's foot traffic open fillmore street so having a convenience store operating there it will increase crime that is something i'm concerned about increasing the number of pumps increases vehicular traffic and pedestrians issues we have a view of the intersection i personally viewed and witnessed multiply accidents there's a she have iron across the street the one california that turns and the bikes route and not to mention the

pedestrian traffic up and down signer street and california street so i mentioned i have 4 kids we cross the intersection it is a night mayor you've got the shelf north and south of california with the cars coming in and out a hundred and 50 feet of cars turn there's not a lot of save sidewalk i'm concerned about increasing the number of pumps to 10 the traffic will make that impossible for the pedestrians to cross safely i think it changes the tune of the neighborhood our neighborhood has small stores and restaurant and so adding a large convenient store is not necessary there's a moll i didn't see that's opened and convenience stores and

there's a twenty-four hour safeway i'm not begin them upgrading the location i said they center to make money but my 0 family is important so doing this didn't make sense for our residential neighborhood. >> couple of more names (calling names). >> excuse me. >> (inaudible). >> i'm guessing our douglas oh, ongoing. >> you don't have to submit a speaker card in order to speak. >> are you call me speakers in terms of opposing or supporting. >> not order we've received

them. >> last week, i would have spoken all the words i've lived on california street for 38 years i know that neighborhood well she expressed a number of concerns that are valid, however, i was one the people that met with the project sponsor and i think that the concession they made addressed the immediate concerned in terms of the housed of the operation and reducing the scale of the building and in terms of reducing the number of dispensaries so i feel like the project sponsors have made an effort to commodity legitimate concerns that may have been overlooked in the planning commission recommendation so i've- i've been neutral listed,

if you will, i will congratulate the sponsor on at least license to the concerned neighbors that have liability concerned and will continue to have liability concerns thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is richard i'm also a neighbor of the service station i came last year prepared to speak about the traffic and the italics of the project after we were discontinued duo to the airbnb matter we met with the project sponsor in the fire and reached a compromise in the number of pumps reduced an agreement to work for a week on trying to refine the design

again, i congratulate the project sponsor in working in good faith with us the motion before you i presume given the willingness the sponsor will be rejected and voted down as presented and staff will be directed at pursuing the revised proposed service station and revised hours of operation and so i am no longer opposed to the project. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is carl restraining order oil i live in the neighborhood and also here locate and then as you went our

project was continued until after the other large matter was considered having been up since 5 o'clock i was happy to meet with the proponent in the hall and discussed compromises and then i went and thought what those compromises were and i'm o blithd to support to get sleep i, city and county say in doesn't conscious they've made compromises that addressed my concerns about the traffic intersection where cars try to kill me is in california no one has done that yet reducing the number of pumdz will help and reason to continuing until this week to make more informed

comments and discussions so we respect to see the loop an link so what sort of business is this for our neighborhood now i've heard it this phrase first of all, in san francisco a business serving neighbors i don't think this is a neighborhood serving neighborhood business gas station yes, we need to get gas so you it is not a designation business so there are goods neighborhood serving business well, that's a big loot for a dry by business and there are a lot of used for that big lot

that are not countered their deed which provides gas and at amenity to the neighborhood i'm not going to go into those there are people that considered those in more daily give you ideas of what might enhance their use of the property to make them more money and enhance the neighborhood use of property thank you for linking. >> hi thank you for letting me speak i'm karen lived in the neighborhood for 19 years i can see it from the front of my building i'm dismade euphorias outline a service station and reply that with a chance store our residential neighborhood didn't want or need we have a full service grocery store and

eating establishment and sit down and take out you can get a cup of quality coffee i fear the people that will be going to the loop store outside the neighborhood i'm worried about noise and crime and traffic and road safety about the loss of parking and more competition for the street parking that will impact many people the loop and additional displace pumps belong on a busy thoroughfare i ask you to please save our local gas station and not put a convenience store in the middle of pacific heights thank you. >> i'm donald green i made a statement will doing a general

study for a number of petroleums that makes sense when we say their reducing the number of pumps in front of you is 10 pumps now 8 it's up 0e there are 71 stations in the city if we let them increase now at the rate ♪ organization been adding pumps and stations pumps at their stations throughout the bay area two a month for the last year's two in the city now proposing another one on steiner1 on steiner street the 34rrd petroleums on major thoroughfares and separated roadways on steiner street i go there are one lane in each

direction sharing bikes and pedestrians going by the people leaving the gas station and they pack on park on the sidewalks i was almost hit people come up to the leaving the area and don't look left and right. i think this is a traffic hazard i recommend that you guys prepare a statewide obligation plan and review the acts for all expansions in the city for the city gas stations and living in this repair shop removal the increase in suspensions an increase in supply a reduction in price means more utilizing auto use and if we're going to have a transit first not adding pupgz to increase the price of

gas and parallel to come to this area he oppose the concept of the increase in pumps and on steiner street it is not 19th avenue are 101 and not how 80 and this idea of converting what you have in front of you 3 seats inside it was 7 now 3 people have a place to go and have a yogurt stand it's not much of a gas station thank you very much. > thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'll call a couple of more names (calling names) sir, if you're ready >> hello, i'm joe i live on sacramento street around the corner from the property

and me and my wife and daughter have been there for 40 years and i think that me and my wife are upset about this potential change we actually took our concerned out to the people that we know at starbuck's and at pete's staubdz with my wife and pete's is me and what we can be with a lot of people that were very, very upset about this and in the neighborhood all those people that we don't represent only ourselves she was supposed to be here but had to go to a job so i think that you know we

really need to consider what kind of a neighborhood we want and the things that the only thing that came up that was of use to the people that we talked to was that either the favored thing that came up which i know that into a parking lot available to the people because they're no parking in that area this is happened over quite a short time and more and more cars come into accident neighborhood now failing that you know maybe a repair place make sense to some people at a lower number castle with that but a lot of heat here

so keep in mind. >> hi, i'm darlene i'm a fifth generation san franciscan my parents were married at calvary church 50 year ago i have a lot for the community and protestants is really unites a small town feel we're losing our local necessary businesses and services to unnecessary chance shores i feel this project does not add any value to the community and create a strategist safety and traffic night mayor service stations are an in12k5irgd species in the city an auto repair shop ♪ location for over 80 years i can't understand why a large

corporation like a u energy that owns well over hundred gas stations and convenience store not build a smaller store and have an all shop something custom to fit our neighborhood please do approve that until a u foufdz what the neighborhood needs in discuss with a different forum at a time of day normal working people can voice their opinions of what's happening in their neighborhoods thank you very much >> good afternoon. i'm barbara graham a thirty years respirate of san francisco and down the block i walk the block down to of him from my house and drive

it reggie feel so strongly about the traffic and safety issues that are going to be totally implicated for our neighborhood that i was prepared last week to stay hereafter the term airbnb discussion and i will feel so strongly that we have to consider the importance of safety in our neighborhood number 1 california street is one of the most dangerous and high injury streets as defined by the mayor of vision zero project so we have a dangerous street steiner on the other corner of this project is a narrow street has been identified, is the only thoroughfare for bicycles and

cars coming from the daily city bart station to the marine it is always congested not only in peak hours when the study was done additionally the muni lion as it forces the number one bus to make a left turn at the corner of steiner and california blocks traffic already and when you have cars waiting to get into the service station because they can't all fit in or the convenient store you will have a blocking of the not only the bus stop a block away but for cars maneuvering around the bus to get down california street a major thoroughfare in the student northbound destruction is where it makes it's turn on steiner and even later the fact

that the reduction in the plan of the expose to the driveway is down to 28 photo only two driveways instead of 3 so the ability for vehicles to get in and out of this location condones the already exist safety issues i have this question that keeps come up in my mind why when sfmta is spend million dollars dollars to redesign and decreeing reconstruct their streets for strategist safety for the pedestrians and bicyclists why are we looking to compound the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians thank you very much.

>> good afternoon. my name is is douglas i've lived and worked in san francisco for over thirty years the owner and lead technician at california the auto repair shop on california street been there for 10 years and currently have one employee but have had as many as 3 and another gentleman bought the station paid 24 heeds in that time they've been in continuous operation since 1932 over 80 years operating california shell service is a rewarding service i want to continue our relationship with the neighborhood my first decision to serve the community i wanted to shell station for your go to

repairs like the old days it worked and business thrived as it does to this day something interesting happened when you add service people come because someone might help them with a problem they're having what is did light on my dash do you have a flat tire which type of gas do i need where's the or more and can you check any tire pressure we check tire pressure and dispense advise to any and all that is ask and as often as possible with a smile those are the things that neighborhood businesses should do over the course we've worked on over 10 thousand customer cars about half of that number around 5 thousand are rope business our

cloys works in the fillmore pacific heights neighborhood and surrounding areas those numbers don't include all the attire pressure checks last year people in this room that are customers of the convenience and auto shop ideally i'd like to stay for another several years keep the shelf loop convenience store and shelf auto repair i'm not trying to stop the project if i could move and maintain my clients i eight hundred but arrest a year the site have not favorable for auto repair all i ask is that california shelf service remain in operation on to month to month basis a thirty days notice would

be okay if the 12krshd work with me and the community i'll do my best to work with them thank you very much. >> is there any additional public comment on this item? >> good afternoon commissioners my name is paul wormer i'm speaking in opposition to the project i realized from the previous case the north beach one i have a question when dips a restaurant here we have the loop store that is providing food ready to eat and counter and stools looking at out over a window that is the bay windows this is serving food to go what did i understand a restaurant and is this the band on my main

concern with this project is role not appropriate to the neighborhood in many ways in particular using 14 thousand square feet lot space for a .2200 square feet convenience store and 8 gas petroleums on a single level structure that is a great 1950s, 160s model but not what the city needs moving forward to the future that's not how to provide services and fuel and make best use of the real estate this is an opportunity for u importing to talk about ways to develop the property in a way that makes better use of the dissipating space that provides space for

the convenient store and that provides space for the service that is very important to the community, and possibly add another options like office space i don't know if you know how many people are looking for small business office space in the neighborhood so i would ask that you disapprove the project as proposed and ask the partnerships to actually sit down and engage with serious discussion with the members of the community interested in participate in such discussions i tried to reach out to them in july of last year, i got one call back a promise for follow-up i sent a followup he message no respondents this is not norwalk in good faith with the community i'd like to endorse all the comments about

the public safety i frequently drive adopt cal state and see the unsafe lane chapping from pierce to fillmore it is a problem thank you any other speakers on this item. >> okay that being said and opening up to commissioners commissioner richards. >> this is a tough one i've been thinking about the good things and gas stations i live in a neighborhood where we used to have 6 and now we have 2 between i guess downtown and twin peaks boulevard dollars there is only 2 gas stations in now neighborhood one is owned by

the gentleman that owns the che iron across the street and mr. 0 the gentleman will be in his 70s what will happen for this site if you read the paper we're trying to get to green house gas by 9050 i hate to drive into someone else's neighborhood i'll trade my car them when i get a raise on the commission (laughter) if you can sum up for safety reasons take the tanks out had are doubled walls and which is

great in order to get a fair rate of return change it to be a larger convenience store with foul petroleums but the auto repair shop and office something vision could be more community serve will not get you that rate of return have you looked that. >> yeah. the problem we face is that the auto repair we don't run we're straight landlords and so the deadliest between running a convenience store versus collecting rent is too big of a delta i like the fact the program has healthy choices i came back from the
