11:44 pm

11:45 pm
and offices for another education company but that's it that's their office they operate offsite. >> i know not the reminded that sdpoorpt there are a lot of youngsters it's a public school within hundred feet of dispensary what's the closest san francisco public school to this location this is a growing area there will be one in the near fire chief doing things in the right way. >> you're asking what's the closest school. >> on potrero hill perhaps. >> off the top of my head i'm not sure which one is the closest. >> (inaudible). >> sir you'll need to come up to the microphone. >> i don't remember the name
11:46 pm
exactly but the project at 901 the school across is the school greater than a thousand photo. >> oh you were talking about earlier today but that's no a public but still a school. >> and greater than a thousand feet. >> my question was in line with the san francisco unified school district if the school district decided to put a school in dog patch and go within the zone of one thousand feet zone are they prohibited from doing it if they're a mcd or they could do that with upcoming we're not allowed to approve an mcd within
11:47 pm
one thousand feet could they put the school in. >> at the time of approval. >> the question is - >> any restrictions. >> no school restrictions it's the mcd all accident school could do that of it brings a public within a thousand feet are a mcd. >> the use of exist school there's no outdoor recreation with the uses as i said it's interior i don't know if it is weighing in our decision not actively used as playground or outdoor activity. >> thank you. the other thing with a lot of neighborhood we've heard there is legislation by supervisor tang for the other side of the city to make those are approvals cu i'm very supportive of the cu if you need
11:48 pm
a cu for a staubdz you need a cu to authorize a pot club but i was interested in hearing what the dog patch wants to say they didn't speak out against it they're not concerned so i have my concerns about that i probably won't be supportive but i think that is one of the better ones would've we've heard as far. >> commissioner johnson. >> a couple of things i know to commissioner singhs point the school on 10th street not a public on the other side of third street there's a sort of pier 70 area which i know they'll have a community what do they call is a community infrastructure to committed fire i don't know if it includes the school but not within one thousand feet what i'm getting
11:49 pm
at just a couple of things it sound like you guys are good operators i like the you know the concept your trying to bring that is a busy corner a lot of restaurant i would first ask a question i'm leaning towards making you know suggesting we make a condition your security guard always be inside it is imposing to the neighborhood and landscape. >> on the floor plan the front area leans itself to that to have the door open with a guard similar to the spark has a guard open the street but inside
11:50 pm
that was the plan. >> okay that's any one comment from now. >> i have one question for staff childcare centers community centers and schools if their private don't count only if their public. >> they can be private. >> this one is 2 hundred feet away it has childcare. >> childcare is one of the concerns it's not a boy's club. >> it is in line with the personal service they have a math class and college prep and a boy's club like a school. >> but not licensed as a school. >> it kind of seems weird that something like that is not within the thousand foot radius
11:51 pm
exclusion. >> it is clearly just schools. >> okay. okay not logical but supervisor wiener can help us. >> then there's be no discussion (laughter) my motion still stands. >> i would like to ask the motion maker if you're okay with our 6 month look balk written or. >> memo to staff. >> okay i think the reason for that specifically i'll be looking for parks in the area when we see mcds in excelsior and outer mission one of the main complaints we have seen a line out the door they take the product and they walk up the
11:52 pm
nearest street and use it within you know a few feet of the door and a number of smaller parks right within the space workplace a couple of blocks i want to make sure there's no issues with the operation and complaint from neighbors about the product that was sold there. >> maybe we'll direct staff to include the police. >> the police. >> the report open the operations and any. >> fall out. >> any issues that are raised in the first 6 months. >> thank you. please call the question. >> it that amenable to the seconder. >> oh, yes. >> on that motion then commissioners to take dr approve that matter with conditions
11:53 pm
including the six months update with complaints and commissioner antonini no commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards and commissioner wu so moved, commissioners, that motion passes 5 to one is commissioner antonini voting against and place you on our final agendized decided item there are no speaker cards. >> any general public comment seeing none, public comment is closed meeting
11:54 pm
>> to address these concerns i have made a series of amendments to the resolution that capture the spirit of the policy but would allow continued conversation with the task force and other stakeholders about how we do metering. i believe strongly that the city needs to start developing toes to help create affordable housing. in our housing element alone, we talk about building a 60% affordable, but we are currently not doing that. it is important to start the discussion about creating tools of measuring our affordable housing and creating tools to enforce that. i grew up in new york city, one to my parents who had immigrated here to the u.s.
11:55 pm
actually, i started really becoming active in working with the community when i was in high school. came out to california for college, went to stanford. i was always politically involved. when i was a college student, i worked on the initiative to get rid of affirmative action in our public government system. currently we have 3 legislative items that are pending. the first is going to be coming to a final vote on tuesday, our mid-market uptown tenderloin task exemption legislation. it is basically an incentive to encourage businesses to come to mid-market. in particular where we have the highest commercial vacancy. and then when i graduated moved out to san francisco about 12 years ago. i always loved sanford cisco in college, and i just wanted to try it out. i started working in economic
11:56 pm
development policy. i was a community organizer for six years. i worked with young people parents, and families around issues that concern our neighborhoods, whether it was improving muni lines affordable housing, public schools or just planning issues in neighborhoods. we just had a hearing last week, and we are trying to do some work around bedbug enforcement, which is a major issue in the tenderloin and of hill and 63. a hearing will actually be on thursday, april 7, 10:30. we're doing our first hearing on pedestrian safety. i think public safety is a huge concern. it ranges from both low-level crimes to pedestrian safety, and so that is a really important issue to me. we are probably more than double what every other district has.
11:57 pm
and that are preventable. and we can do better. district 6 is one -- home to one of the most diverse constituencies. we have the poorest residents in san francisco. we have lgbt. we have immigrants people of color youth, and a high proportion of seniors in the city as well. we heard that people want to see more jobs, want to see access to more jobs for our residents. we want to see more preventive instead of just reactive. we want to see after-school programs versus the police picking them up because they are out on the street, which i think our chief agrees with. i actually ran for the board of education in san francisco and got to serve a term on our school board. what really surprised me was how much i enjoyed it. i loved it. i love meeting with families, meeting with youth, meeting with teachers, visiting schools, and getting a deeper understanding
11:58 pm
of what it means to make our system work better. the one thing i really enjoyed was i got to run within a district instead of citywide was that i really got to know voters and residents. i actually enjoy campaigning more because i had time to knock on doors and the voters individually. i'd love it. i actually really enjoyed being out on the field. so i spent a lot of time doing it because i got to really get a deeper understanding of what people care about and what people's concerns are and also what people loved about the district and the city. i was talking with the mayor yesterday. he was very interested in seeing how the good work with our office -- how he could work with our office. i would love to see how we could support small businesses because they are the heart at san francisco. they provide 60% 07% of the jobs in sanford cisco, and they provide it locally, and they are not going to offshore their jobs any time.
11:59 pm
i am not an opponent of cleaning up the tenderloin. i love the tenderloin. i love what is right now. i recognize we have a diversity of books that live there and people do not want to see open drug dealing. i do not have a problem with people lit think -- people out on the street socializing. i think that is good. that to me is more -- you know it is part of the character of the neighborhood. i get to represent one of the most exciting and dynamic districts in the city. it is where change is happening, so i think it is exciting in terms of how we can model what it means to be a smart growth neighborhood, how we can use transit and housing effectively to serve our city and also to do a lot of the new green policies that we have developed over the last 10 years.
