resident is 240 thousand and an emergency shelter frankly. >> sir your time is up. >> thank you sir, your time is up. >> sir, i'm sorry but- >> thank you, sir. >> good afternoon commissioners i'm project coordinator and concerned that project is not eligibility the inclusionary units are as such i ask for a larger set back as the proposal stand now it is blocked air and light and in the auditorium it is for the large community i

urge you to support responsible development and consider the impact of the project on k cc and the larger community thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners i live in the tenderloin now for 38 or 39 years i've seen a lot of changes and one of the things that has happened the tenderloin as new changes sounds good but a great impact for those who canned for the record it you might be displaced i think in time if we don't consider the what we're doing a lot of people in a negative way and the only job you'll continue to get paid and have our pretty homes but people will obtain sleep on the streets

and can't afford the housing the word affordable housing is not affordable nothing here in san francisco is affordable. >> hello commissioners. i'm rebecca i live in the curry senior apartment i found an affordable place to live we have an amazing people that live there a gardening club all the participant are starting to flourish a activities my windows will be blocked from light or sun coming in i think and i just found out about this the building project give it more time so more of the residents can if the what's he is going i park my car in the parking lot because a cars get

broken ♪ that neighborhood so i appreciate your listening to us and appreciate you taking a moment to think about what is going to be the true needs the tenderloin didn't fill those needs thank you >> commissioners don falk with t n d c first of all the i want to commend the planner kate for an outstanding job t n d c never opposed this for us the low income people share in the benefits of development and are protected from the worst impacts of development that's our style throughout we've raised 3 issues meaningful engage and if this begun easily earlier we might not be here the design the residents themselves and

affordable housing and what we've urged the developer to say pufbl what they said privately i call on p them and every he market rate developer to achieve a minimum of 20 percent affordable in every project using the federal income tax credits as what way to get >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm julie work in the tenderloin and native san franciscan there are lots of concerns i have about this project especially considering the lack of meaningful outreach to the community but the birth concern and outrage is the lack of apples and oranges in a project that is built in the heart of tenderloin i work with the homeless and at that rapid pates

nobody can afford that needs to be take a look at it and i would urge you to deny it or better making make it affordable housing that's what we need this project has zero concerns for the community and only the ones that want to make a profit off of that it is obvious thank you. >> i'm a planner with t n d c i want to submit documents that neighborhood resident compiled around the community engagement i'll let you taking a look at we believe that some productive steps have been made dealing with the set back and affordability issues in fact

tomorrow morning the developers will be meeting with the media we remain optimistic we'll tackle some of those issues i think this gives us the opportunity to be look at a lot of the broad issues we continue to look at project by project cumulative impacts that need to be address right now 57 new developments planned for the heart of the tenderloin and this represents an unprecedented change we don't oppose it but we need to have a examination of what that means for the tenderloin thank you very much. >> hello, i'm weekend from hospitality house i'd like to submit 2 hundred signatures from the community outreach i've done in the last two weeks i hope you'll listen through my heart

first of all, housing in san francisco is an issue but in reality in the tenderloin putting market rate is not going to work it is not going to work because the inclusionary says and residential development with more than 10 unit provides 12 percent of the unit for affordable housing for those who are low income and this focuses on the tenderloin the low income folks today, i heard them say they'll do low income low income but in reality is it in the inclusionary ordinance because group housing is a residential development so i'm asking you to delay this until they hear the inclusionary ordinance to give people houses and have a bed instead of the streets where they are now thank you. >> i'm going to call two more

names (calling names) >> good afternoon, tim on behalf of the coalition we enforced that project acquit what while ago we believe this is a huge asset to this neighborhood it is exactly the type of housing we should be building but person reasons absolutely an enormous asset we've heard the developer make a bunch of concessions with inclusionary and other various things the project has been in that you recall try a long long time not clear what the interests of the city are served with that said t n d c is a valued member but you routinely negotiate issue like sect and

explore and many things like that if you delay it for a month or two will i get a substantially different deal - thank you. sir your time is up. >> good afternoon. i'm sam with the faithful fools right around the corner i had a chance to talk with the developer i find the design and the construction method to be innovative but i'm wondering if it isn't possible to bring the same level of the community to the community process i find time after time that the community members said we hadn't spoken to them i've been at meeting their representative made it sounds like we don't care i think we can ask the developers to come in with dialog with the community and do a much better job.

>> thank you. next speaker. >> hi, i'm larry i've planned for 3 minutes i'm glad first of all, thank you. the people for seattle we need more time one thing he said we're in a crime area crime is pushed inside with we should have money for ada for sro's so you'll know someone if you look at this shows you my take away for the room and on my tie rock you see that because i'm black and gay if you look at those we can't watch the

warriors have community rooms we know the warriors is building new brinldz and want the people from seattle to know we know the warriors are going to win what we need in san francisco people at the table i've been in this place for 25 years i'm app an ambassador we need. >> thank you. sir, your time - >> thank you, sir. >> go warriors build new bridges. >> thank you. >> hi, i'm michael sorry i don't have proposals i'm on the board of family services it runs a wide range of projects we have a caregiver service opposite the

parking lot and reviewing the plans that is not acknowledged it used to be a boxing gym and it used to be in the back of the lobby we purchased the gym and have 72 homeless children one of the spaces that gives them a place to run around and have a roof gaurpd and the store this will is impact on the space and children i hope if there's a continuation it is looked at. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi my name is a christian a 20-year resident of san francisco i spend most of the time in the tenderloin a lot of everything i do is threatened in san francisco i'm a cab driver that's how i make my living it is under threat i

think we agree we need housing but not on the sacrifice of the people i don't want to lose my light thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi commissioners i'm gene i live at the oasis apartment the way our apartments are situated or made you've heard only two windows if this gets built we will be looking at a brick wall like all the 34 of us on that side like he said no one is opposed to the development but that's all the fresh air and light when you live in the tenderloin that's a big deal no matter what the situation if you looked at

the parking lot it is awkwardly and tight i'm not opposed to this project not in this lot not in this area thanks. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon my name is tom please approve this project as is no more delays we need housing lots of housing and it is so easy for all of us who have a home to deny a new home for those who don't thank you. >> next speaker >> sue hester i support a request for continuance the baby picture at the end of the presentation there is no babies the units are for males in the late 20s or early 30's look at

the unit there's an oven in the unit they're built in but as long as their electronic they don't help so the design a long time them you'll find a oven in all units we need to have time to amend the law the planning department has left damaging sro's and group housing no affordability requirement that's ridiculous because this isn't group housing in the traditional sense this is market rate housing for guys who are hundred thousand to hundred $20000 earning thank you. >> is there any public comment? okay seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner antonini. >> well, thank you i'm a little bit confused by a lot of the testimony i'm going to ask

questions of the developer project manager first, because at the beginning the presentation they pointed out the compromises they've made and pointed out pretty much the same issues they said their compromises on them but everything was speaking to the same thing and preventing they are weren't i have to get details maybe i could speak to the project manager s and ask questions first of all, the set back we've heard the talk about the set back you said something about the tenderloin development corporations has asked for a certain set back i believe against 351 facing 3651 turk what's your lastly offer with the latest provision. >> regarding t n d cs building

adjacent to the leavenworth one 45 las vegas worst they're residential units are on the top floor of their belief and look over our building but they've asked us to set back to give more light to the auditorium and gymnasium and to set back we've agreed to set back the original proposal they've asked us 12 and a half feet back to 7 and a half and so your 7 and a half they wanted originally 12 and a half but not units it is just the area and let's be clear if i could interrupt there are 5 units 5 windows that are tucked into the return not the big wall of the building but in the edge on a corner on the floors the rest of the windows on this

facade go to the gymnasium or track so they're not residential windows per say it is amazing having windows on 3 side from the courtyards and it has a lot of light set back that was requested by the architect was a 12 foot set back from the property line they have a 7 and a half set back this is 19 and a half feet total clear our concern when we designed the building replied the courtyard in such a way willing i literally on axis so by placing it the way it is submitted and recommend for approval it is all the way to the property line against the gym and property line it gives the most sunlight if we move it 12 feet that greatly reduces the amount of light into the garden we we

compromise back 2 and a half feet still giving them a 15 foot spread it increases the sunlight into this gardens by two hours a day it happens to be that big of air force an impact. >> i think you said 67 and a half it is a total of 15 that's gracious so i don't see a problem. >> you want to talk about the other building. >> 351 turk; is that correct, sir talk about the set back. >> the set back on along the side here your taking a look at i don't think if you can see that we're set back 11 feet almost entirely i'll see talk about where the stair was only

the department staff recommended we take out that stair we'll 11 feet uaw from all of that the last column it says amenity spaces they've going to lose those windows these windows will be building up to those that's the amenity spaces those windows as you can see are the stairway and those windows here are bathrooms those are the only windows that are being blocked. >> 11 feet except for that. >> on the other side it was addressed we're only 8 feet away. >> but again, sir i'm talking to him. >> we're only 8 feet away arrest okay anyway 11 feet except for that area their might be a case for the matching

bathrooms your to the going to to do the matching but second question again there was all this examine about affordable housing it is not required in group housing, however, i think you said we're okay if it is kind of it was an open book is that what you're saying. >> there's a condition recommended by the staff in your package we'll agree to this condition to reduce you know whatever the legislation comes out and says we have to do we'll do one of the things in september we've been working on a variety of issues trying to comment to this we building we can commit to it based on the construction part of the overall design is for the workforce level we think w
