12:10 am
mission annuity i community this is why we've had the city is growing in population the mission has been reducing in population we lost 31 hundred unit people but we've added 25 hundred households we've continued to have the least amount of industrial land in any city growing disparity we're losing jobs and can't address this on a project by project base so that's why we're asking you to give the community time to build consensus on how to make the 2020 plan more collaborative with the city and include more partners and think about the housing and the job aspect you know there's a lot that going into it your staff has been working hard to get up to date it's a lot of work what we've labor

12:20 am
needs to be elevated it may not meet those rules donna i don't like the rules so let's put it off i don't play that game july 2nd is fine we'll see which way it goes from there, i move to continue to july 2nd. >> do i hear a second? >> commissioner richards. >> i guess question for staff i mean, i was in boston for the last 5 days and offering i came back came back to heed of e-mails for those who changed online petitions something happened when i looked at the agenda calendar this is big the question for staff we've heard the community ask for more time because of the mission 2020 this
12:21 am
is the second largest commission in the community bart station what relationship will this project have to 2020 a i can answer that. >> we've been working with the economic agency with the 2020 plan the goal of the plan to develop the strategy over the next 5 to 10 years to stabilize the mission in terms of maintaining the income levels of the community the 60 percent so 60 percent to moderate the idea and as stated by many members of the public stableizing the loss of jobs so the idea of that strategy is primarily to look at how we control evictions inquiry the new housing units and for the
12:22 am
affordable housing looking at sites and funding strategies it's looking at the rage of strategies to stabilize the existing housing and add affordable housing to the neighborhood so you know and so how we get to those and trying to agree on a series of numbers how we get to those numbers we're working on we're broadening our work to include other organizations at the request of the mayor's office so we're talking to more members of the communities our discussions are happening job except us to have an agreement by a lot of work is ongoing so specifically to answer our question the relationship is not - this is one sites this is a private ownership for a
12:23 am
long-term so the question is you know whether this site provides one of the many sites needed for affordable housing we haven't looked at this site in particular we're looking a range of sites. >> i have looked at the market octavia plan for years and i think i guess where my head is on this perhaps not we wait until mission 2020 we want to make sure that the community has enough time to present their project with a level the playing field i'll agree to july 2nd. >> commissioner hillis. >> i will tend to agree i think the site is appropriate for housing we've seen the city projection o projects evolves and draeven improve with the city community engagement
12:24 am
there's a lot of issues that are not going to be roved from two weeks if we hear it in july maybe we'll hear it as an informational item getting the community input and directions and hearing it later in july or early august to give folks more time i don't think november is appropriate it is good to have more information later in july or early august. >> commissioners if i may to the matter of the continuance july 2nd was chosen because of the commissions schedule that is the first and last time all 7 commissioners are expected to be present until september so
12:25 am
fyi. >> not enough time to fully understand the implementation i've never seen a community alliance just simply discussing the project and being strong about the action i personally building we owe it to ourselves and the respect of the department that finds ourselves nobody anticipated that the issues of the eastern be neighborhood plan will come to a clash as rapid as we do i think we owe it to ourselves this is a guideline document nothing it in stone to not allow us to the thoughtful and attention active to changes i see the work of the depended and commend them as being clearly responsive to changes this none anticipated
12:26 am
having said that i believe we owe it to oozing to give ourselves sufficient time to hear the department and looked at the finding and recommendations and test them on this large site whether this is a private site is not relevant most of them need to account for the larger issues that effect the city i support a continuance until such time as the department gives themselves the honest time to test their issue replaced to their side and our side when this is i don't know but i don't believe the commission secretary answers that because we're not hereafter september is not sufficient for me and commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i'm going to move to august 6th it is the date we have the full commission that
12:27 am
gives us more than enough time to study the project as well as staff as well as members of the community and the many, many people that have spoken in favor of this project and e-mails to me community is more than just the people here and this is a project that involves the entire city august 6th gives the project sponsor times for modification i'll move to continue until august 6th. >> commissioner hillis. >> director. >> i think i want to confirm that we have a full commission in the august meeting. >> august 6th we expect a few commission we do yeah. >> i wanted to you will miss the two first two meetings in august obviously i'm not a voting person on the commission. >> if the commission votes to
12:28 am
continue to august 6th i'll ask that staff revolved in mission 2020 be present i don't know if those speakers. >> commissioner richards. >> i'd like the director to be present i really would. >> jonas the september 2nd is full. >> the september we'll close that hearing yeah. >> it is what. >> on september 3rd 5 m is heard. >> the joint. >> they're both on the same calendar. >> the tenth. >> that's correct. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i'd like to have the director here if we do august 6th for today, we can continue it later if we feel there is not enough input and a lot of those things can be
12:29 am
resolved by outlooks not necessarily here in staff and everyone works on the challenges i'm city in favor of the 6 weight see where we go from there. >> there is a motion and a second august 6th commissioner antonini. >> commissioner hillis commissioner moore. >> commissioner richards. >> no and commissioner wu. >> no. >> okay. that motion actually passes under a procedural matter. >> 3 to 2 this matter will be calendar for august 6th. >> commissioners just for the benefit of the public in our selves item 12 a on grand view discretionary review that matter has been withdrawn zoning administrator will hear
