the patient didn't have to go far to get an comparing x-ray that is what drives the need although we hear your request for the valencia i'll be happy to additional door over time also in regards to the size the san francisco public health documents documented the need for many more primary care providers so adding 6 is an important thing to serve the neighborhood and by no misunderstood or means by your audited physicians two many primary care there are 28 and four we called air offices they're not taking new patient and 10 doesn't have the availability for appointments more than a month we'd like this project for harder and continue

12:03 am
be refined on valencia and commissioner moore i'm echoing commissioner hillis concerns about size i was open the commission when this building was first approved we sent the building back and closed the ground floor showed it suggested of a retail division without properly providing the back up around the core destine to be appropriate that was a small business subdivision to building went back and was redesigned to accommodate that subdivided building and this commission some members were on it at that point, i strongly recommend to
12:04 am
encourage small business this committee is supportive of and moving forward i believe that more than ever today from the mission merchant is that subsection or subdivision appropriate that's itself point i want to remind ours of in follow-up on commissioner hillis and the second point i'd like support a continuance not just a promise the the devil is in the details and there's good intentions by but i want to see the negotiations satisfactory to all parties before i'll want to approve the project i like the intent of people working things out it is happen in the spirit and wouldn't take a a long time to do so the question to the architect when you presented the ground floor plan i was looking at the
12:05 am
planner and you were using the elevation to take us around the building and what you were saying didn't match did you deinvites another plan between the time why couldn't i follow. >> the only difference possibly could be as you interfrom the corner a retail lightwell to the left on valencia. >> that's not drawn. >> correct. >> i find that part of question i do think that not only we do architecture here we want to see a commitment the plan follows you as. >> move to dbi elk the number of small xhoentz are doable this project needs to be continued i make a motion to do so. >> second is.
12:06 am
>> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much it seem like there is support for the turns like specific direction on what we want to see and add on i'd like to see commissioner hillis and commissioner moore took the word out of my mouth i personally building a health usually it on the greater can add tatted vital of the center of the storefront it is not a restaurant it actually adds what amenity does with its life i don't like the hill stream is an afterthought i know that is to be an ad on to the health care do it properly for example, for one thing again, because it was not demonstrated in the sxheefkdz i'm looking at the rendering it look like the retail is off to
12:07 am
the left if not invite to a person not having american people appointment in the building i couldn't necessary see myself waking past that and looking at the retail are utilizing it i that be there's got to be a better way that 7 thousand footprint you need the doctors office and x-ray machines and regulates how close the equipment can be to different people within that i'm sure there is a layout that is open to the public than that what you currently have i also want to say i know real quick to the other neighborhood saying heartache cylinders i don't know if is this good or bad but the neighborhoods are probably culturally relevant to the people they sever to the
12:08 am
objection that sutter will take their population and left with people that can't be served i don't know i don't see that they need the primary care services in neighborhood. >> commissioner wu. >> thank you my concern is also the size i was not on the commission with the original project was approved i've sat open projects we talked about smaller scale matt haney that small business can go in i wish the building owner we are we're here to say i did our marketing wrong the limit is 3 thousand square feet and anything above that meets the cu there is provision and confrontations that the first 25 feet of depth should be more
12:09 am
than active is that author correct. >> so i would really like to see on the plan a separated space not the whole a half or third but an effort to have a separate retail space even if the other services were not open at the same time if there going to be a continued look at design issues i wonder if there is thinking of leonard drop offends there's a bike lane a lot happen on valencia and commissioner richards. >> when i met with the project

12:12 am
interest to the general public comment they have independent hours that's important in order to fully support the appearance of fundamental retail and active retail what the hours of operation is an independent question we can't dictate that but the access should be from the outside and not only the lobby of your interior operations commissioner moore can i ask you to assign the continuance a date and i would i think this will take 4 to 5 to 6 weeks i'm not angle desperate but i need to ask the planner for guidance perhaps you could be in dialog with some of the people. >> i wanted to clarify one
12:13 am
