3:34 am
important to everyone that works i feel that this means more people had also be looking at for each in the neighborhood in the evenings that's another good plus for the neighborhood, however, this promise has not been put into writing as far as the summer summary i see at conditional use permit there is also the consideration of whether or not people could walk there from 24th street or 16th street bart station i'd like to see some kind of sutter shuttle service that helps people goat to the various locates and perhaps be an appointment made in the neighborhood if people are not ambulatory but north need primary care has a shuttle

3:37 am
issue there is limited available retail space available right now i think available retail spaces are at an all minded low i can think of a handful there are doors throughout the space that is how the building was designed those are high-end spaces delivered in a white shell condition a prime location in the center of the mile-long formula retail commercial free that's in part to this commission let me getting give this example this increases the mom and pop about businesses and those businesses are feeling the pressure of the lack of retail space we welcome the health
3:38 am
clinic to the neighborhood but ooelt this year 5 to 8 thousand streets space available meant for a single tenant no point easily visible without changing the character of the building and everybody would be happy to see those spaces a activated the consensus is the valencia will have a disruptive effect on the vibrant character we've cultivated for a decade we appreciate our serious consideration of this. >> thank you. >> hello commissioners and director ram my name is marilyn i'm here as a member of the coalition for jobs justin's justice and housing and health care the coalition that developed the negotiation with
3:39 am

3:40 am
of closing st. luke's hospital eased building a small rate making a theatre hospital not making a full service hospital for the mission it is a big victory with the board of supervisors did get the development agreement in 2013 to build a full service hospital conversation around health services in the mission is actually son the table the community input of designing a health care culturally appropriate including translations for language groups and that conversation needs to continue much longer than that we have today we are going to support all the speakers that are asking for a continuous so there can be more conversation with neighborhoods and health care providers in the mission.
3:41 am
>> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm the president the liberty hill association i support a lot of what others have said today so i want to reiterate a couple of key points liberty hill neighborhood association just learned less than a month ago sutter hill had proposed plans to put in a facility at the corner of valencia and forgetting analytic we are rather i had to initiate a meeting with them where we got roughly thirty might be 35 members of the community to come out and find out what was going on and what was being planned
3:42 am
i don't consider that appropriate community outreach when we have to reach out, in fact we were told that someone else said they met about the merchant and waiting for i condit then to reach out to residents i take issue with that that is really not dialoging with our community other thing one the biggest issues that was brought up at the community meeting was transportation and none of our concerns none of our suggestions, nothing was really addressed the sort of enthuse up their hands and said we don't have answers not a big problem our neighborhood is congested like 20th and 21st street
3:43 am
they're a nightmare and valencia is a whole another story those streets will not support the kind of traffic regardless of people taking public transportation and many won't surrounding streets are so cross-out and parking is so contention it is really a major issue and exec our quality of life and our air quality so i would ask that the commission postpone approving the conditional use permit until we have a chance to get more information and evaluate that information and come together as a community we're not the heart of the mists the majority of our spanish speakers are long dungeon we're losing your diversity and this will only exacerbate this thank
3:44 am
you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm diane martinez i'm with the mission sro collaborative we want to request that you delay approval until the community partners can meet with sutter to novels the impacts on the project as was state earlier the community-based organizations like the mission center rely on they're built to serve the medi-cal because the medi-cal dollars allow them to have the resources to fund free heart and soul services their vital to the sro community that i work with oftentimes we refer people to the mission neighborhood health center wherever we do outreach
3:45 am
are when someone comes in to talk about their issues northbound their sro's and the mission district rapid displacement has already had impacts on the community the effectiveness for the community organizations to provide important services for the population there so this justification and displacement in addition to another big project coming in and having to cause consolidation for clients this can effect the important community organizations that have deeply roaded with the population that already lives there and has a great collaboration with everybody who lives in the mission area so like i said we'd like request to the approve this request until
3:46 am
the community partners meet about sutter. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi from the mission sro collaborative we'll like to ask the commission delay approval the primary care clinic pie sutter health on valencia street until the community partners meet with sutter health to organize the health the mission has community-based health clinics who do outstanding work in providing services to the community who understand the specific needs and wants many of which include the sro resident that need the orchards for their health care needs and we also can't allow our community-based health clipdz to
3:47 am
chief expedite with a organization that revenues exceeded $10 billion last year, i want to ask the committee to postpone the conditional use authorization until sutter health meets with the partners including the effected agencies thank you. is there any additional public comment okay seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner richards. >> yes. i meet with the project sponsor yesterday we talked about the outreach partnering with other organizations in the community i got a generally positive conversing impression i was mardi gras shocked to see not public comment in the packet it was within one zone change was bigger than this can you tell me
3:48 am
know please what the public outreach process was that will be great. >> the process camtc process first of all we're excited to be here i'm jennifer from public health in the initial contact with the planning department we thought it would be 6 months to get on calendar - the conditional use application if february we met that supervisor campos in mid-february and asked for a meeting at the end of march and that was immediately in early april and again reached out through the contact with the no matter the mission neighborhood health center on 422 and met on 5 forbidden we've
3:49 am
contacted by liberty hill and met with them on may 11th and have been partnering with the developer of the overall project he's been helping us since be late april. >> you're ahead of where you wanted to be. >> yes. >> so the folks there are a lot of folks in the community health care in the third right now outlined a good case in my opinion about what we expect out of a few more weeks of discussion how would you feel about that since you're ahead on your timeline. >> and that - >> yes. we're eager to speak with all the community clinics in daily detail to a classify and cooperate the work they do is critical we believe we bring
3:50 am
extra health care and particularly need primary care would like to continue the dialog. >> i had a great meeting we tubed referrals and you might have establishing relationship with the hall and stand out conversations i personally think i'll see what my fellow commissioners have to say how they feel once they speak there recent 3 issues their needs to be more dial our supportive of and issues around exactly the impacts with the other neighborhood health care providers and some defined issue with the merchant association around the masking of the projects and move the second-story so those are the
3:51 am
issues i would support but again, i want to i'll see what my fellow commissioners have to say and support continuing this item thank you. >> commissioner antonini. >> grateful thank you. i appreciate the comments from everyone and mr. sharp project sponsor just now there's a lot more identify that occurred than evidenced by comments from the people speaking i'm not sure why those concerns were not voiced at the time of the meetings and what you know actually was asked i don't know certainly i'm supportive of further ideal and supportive of trying to work together i'm not supportive of payoffs i don't like pay to play by baevenlg it sounds like you have a good project to answer some of the concerns this clinic is open weekends and this is one
3:52 am
of the concerns in the literature they said they need an institutional master plan it is a little bit ironic i sat through years and years of the commission neighborhood we need st. luke's and medal and now someone t is come in they're in opposition it seems like a little bit didn't seem to be consistent with what we're heard in the past and there are a lot of those clinics although smaller throughout the city that are popular one on lombardi we approved that and warrant and haze and golf and they allow people in neighborhoods to go quickly to get care and you know even people who have hungers and people that have regularly decreases are hospitals oftentimes prefer to go to
3:53 am
something for urgent care and not often to drive to other sides of the city i have relates that went to west portal typically i can't speak but they've been reasonable in price to it i think there's a fear of competition but a whole demographic that will come to the clinic not to the mission heartache center or the mexico or other groups in existence because you know they would probably prefer this because of it's connection with sutter and it's appearance and things like that so i think there may be some overlap on meddlesome overlap but you're dealing with different populations are there
3:54 am
are a lot of people many can afford to pay for the serviced this is the same model we have in the dental office i'm a dentist and people don't go to the hospital they come to us i don't see fears of displacement from the residential displacement and talk about competition for rents but it patients are going to come to this place and stroll down valencia and shop there are two sides i think that is really a good project the other commissioners may wish to delay i'll be happy to move forward today. >> commissioner hillis. >> so imi'm generally support
3:55 am
of the i'd be open to a continuance my concern is on the design and basically in the valencia corridor the valencia side of that we do try to keep neighborhoods vibrant and have active storefronts open the valencia i understand you're looking at the back of the examine rooms it is not the most active i don't know it is active at all kind of vibrant on the valencia side i don't know if it is feasible i talked with the project sponsor of adding another pufrl retail component and you know, i would be supportive of moving in that direction it is 7 thesis square feet that is larger than what we see by you know almost double
3:56 am
value in any places besides the retail spaces inactive recital corridors liquor valley if we take this time to have for neighborhood outreach i want to see an effort to put an additional independent retail space and it would be kind of taking away the valencia corner and adding an 8 hundred square feet mrats place but along valencia in addition obviously reducing the square footage of the heartache center but again, this in this neighborhood it is different than valencia that could a take a larger retail comprised it is an easier pedestrian 0r79d neighborhood i'll be poster of a continuance
3:57 am
to look to that change as we take this on if you want to comment i'm not sure. >> i wanted to comment on the size question commissioner hillis we talked about particularly director lee talked about medical care evolving for the 6 positions and talked about the availability of accident anular 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
3:58 am
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 the dialog with the community patterns and those who want us to partner more closely. >> i get if there is a balance between the finer so to speak aspect across valencia there's a weekly the same amount of front that has 3 retail stores they're actually double size ingratiates
3:59 am
retail fronldz that are it's so shift to the other side and having looking at the blank corridor i don't think works well, you need it to maintain a certain size but a different in part of valencia or haven district that take that bigger size retail space that needs to 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
4:00 am
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 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
