before he left he start to speak about the project and why san francisco public works is working with the sheriff's department to move ahead with the application to have ceqa clearance for the project it is part of the program we have to relocate everyone out of the project so the city has identified the city i site for

the replacement jail and when we submitted the environmental review when we start the process it had 40 beds that was the pmd since the controller asked we have reduced that project has been reduced to probably about 4 hundred and 84 beds that's the new project and for clarification clarification we choose not to impact the sro so the demolition of the sro the building has changed for us to avoid impacts to the sro we asked the department they've working with a relocation consultant to you make sure they have relocation programs that meets the federal and state requirements so that is to be note part of the plan and viagra for the state fund is

big deal been the city attempted that last year on the sb 1022 and we started off with an environmental review with the eir of the part of the study and what we realized we're impacting the sro building we choose to avoid that it was one the major decision by avoiding that we were able to go to the pmd we carefully looking at the options, and, secondly are we be looked to be it further resolved build in san bruno and we still came up with the this as the most visible financially feasible citywide for the city

to build lived in the city for the inmates and impacts to the sheriff's department as well someone mentioned outdoor recreation space within the san francisco county jail system all the recreational space is enclosed so it is in line with the sheriff's department operation and also complies with title 15 this requires a minimum of 18 ceiling height for the recreational space that's in compliance so did slides came back we talked about this and i think one of the important things about this project also it replying the county jail 4 and 3 the improvements to provide a safe and humane environment that's one the

preliminary outbursts and so have more program space informing for those into custody and the scope was rausz we're not 384 it's brought down the project it costs about $240 million so i talked about those so some of those are the pros and cons building in san francisco or san bruno those are the pros and cons we talk about the state funding one of the reasons we're moving forward with the ceqa clearance at this stage and coming before the planning commission sometime later on this year for the entitlement

issues for the last project and for the rezoning of that area we'll be coming back before you to get approval for those and those are the pros and cons of building in sdooun the consequences out weighs the benefits so we choose to build in san francisco i talked about this the question has been asked why have not we studied the expenses within the exultant i county system configuration of that jail does not allow for us to be able to put in the classification of inmates in a minimum security setting so it will need

expensive retrofit at the end of the day the impact will be more cost impact will be more and we will not been able to submit the application for the state funding in which we could get up to million dollars and the san mateo county and the neighbors they've appeared at a couple of hearings speaking about increasing the county in sdrooun and it is still more financially and safety wise more feasible to build out in san francisco. >> so in conclusion the reason we want to build the facility that provides a safe and humane

environment sophomore for those into custody and have treatment space we want to be able to submit this application by august and we have met all the requirements for the project and ask you to uphold that thank you. i'll be here for questions. >> okay. so jonas if it is correct we'll open up for public comment a number of cards (calling names). >> good afternoon, commissioners angelina with soma were one of the things i wanted to raise was the from my understanding

there's going to be a shadow impact to the victorian park from the proposed build out of the new jail paralyzing i'm going to turn it over to b m b park is important to the filipino community named after a filipino woman was the first woman in asia to win a metal at a victorian and in addition, this park don't a long time for the community to have over 10 to 15 years this is the first full park in the community that has been built since south park i mean it has a playground baseball area and those are the areas that is going to be shadowed it might be a small spec for the development but in the future of

our neighborhood open space and park space is very limited theretofore that is very important for us to have this park is is utilized towards the time it is on actually the time for the families around the park area to the school that is next to it can to the different businesses that is trooif in the south of market therefore we really want to make sure that environmental impact report is dysfunction adequately to make sure the community has proper information in regards to the build out of this jail in addition we do agree that a ceqa is important to have the ceqa was fought hard by community activists to make sure that we adequately look at the

impacts of developments in the neighborhood and the city and taking that away from us will have a long time impact for the neighborhood again, i just came from any talked early in another line item there are so much development in the south of market it is hard for the community to have the capacity to hear everything and be part of everything but having the ceqa and eir is really important for us to look at the impact of all developments in the neighborhood as a whole versus project by proximate cause we hope you'll listen and consider the full eir is done for that thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. and. >> hi, i'm teresa

i'm a parent and live in south of market for the past 45 years and i've seen so much development and i'm actually really angry i'm angry of being a parent and residents this building if it is built i don't want it built i'm against it it is really high as far as i, tell it will fall a shadows on the b m b park this park is being used by you he the betsey carmichael park the residents go through to play ball our space. >>actually effected so when you're talking about this shadow will fall on the baseball field and also where the children playground and to towards the other side so is it so really

important for me children we're talking about human impact here also i not to me as a parent i wanted to see a full environmental review there railroad consider there are children and tenants being involved i for one am in an eviction process it is so hard and it is hard and i hope you guys understand here that all those developments going on in san francisco are go crazy their, their raising whole neighborhoods proposing to raise whole neighborhoods i'm looking you guys you're being responsible for our city and here we're communities who are against this coming to you asking for help to please listen to us we are selves i've been actually

been involved in the community for the past 25 years i've seen a lot of changes and, yes necessary yes, it say we know when the developer says raised dlurngz and the city goes blink blink what do i feel as a resident as a mother? i--i don't know how you would feel i hope you do know how i feel and this, please i really don't want this building there and any high-rises >> (clapping) >> thank you . next speaker. >> hi i work within an organization called callous project based in san francisco

for 15 years we work against racism in white communities and our interests in this item is because the madam chair population is down to 4 percent while the black population in the jail is 46 percent and i've supported communities across the state who are trying to stop new jails fromeing built and because of the anti black racism the exultant u county is trying to race through those those in san mateo they're trying to say a jail didn't meet the environmental review of the jail zoning and only community pressure made them clean up the site it was toxic and one of the things of building the jail the current jail was not made for long-term stays because of the

realignment people will be staying longer people that are staying in jail needs the outdoor says that a basic requirement of human dignity the proposed design violates so the environmental impact report is neededed to address the area this is skipping a step of racism you're saying you don't like the brown and black prisoners i ask you to consider whether or not this project that was proposed 10 years ago was a good idea and maybe replied by community-based alternatives thank you. >> excuse me. please refrain from the clapping.

>> hi my name is andrea with local services with prisoners with children i want to echo the comments and after realignment etch is familiar with the people are serving more than that longer sentences in county jails it is disturbing there will be not adequate outdoor spice it is as previous speaker men's it is human right i strongly yours u urging you to see those are your community members in that jail and to reconsider and

have a more thoroughly environmental review assessment. >> next speaker >> i'm with legal services with prisoners for children those are community members those are human beings held in the space for the entitle of their space and no exposures to air this is a huge impact on the community members i ask you for a full environmental impact report. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment. >> excuse me. if you folks are part of the coalition that is the party to the appeal your opportunity to speak was enincumbrance in the original presentation. >> can i say something as a member of critical assistance hi appellant is just the coalition

the letter that is submitted not on behalf of an individual. >> as long as the comment is not part of the coalition. >> so i'm speaking as a representative from the critical assistance not from the coalition coalition. >> as long as you're a representing a group that to those is not part of group. >> not pick any other group. >> i'm speaking as a concerned citizen i wanted to make a comment about the housing there was - in the preliminary mitigated negative declaration there was a worse case scenario allocated resources to provide moving expenses and social services not new housing there was a lens significant impact considering the fact that the

wait list for affordable housing is 8 years and it is closed it is a significant impact in the presentation the conversations was about recreational at accentuating outdoors but according to title 24 the experience area a has to be outdoor so regardless of recreational space is outdoor there 0 has took to be outdoor space foreclosure and type 2 and 4 outdoor facilities thank you. >> hi, i'm a organizer with the san francisco tenants union it was beyond the objective fact that the sro's units are misplaced to be involved in this coalition including even though human rights committee they're not present and the council of

community housing partnerships some numbers that were realized from the eviction collaborative at thirty percent of the 2 thousand people very cold 2 thousand were black and echoing the disparities in the jail population another study in 2014 by the making art found that the black women were in disproportion so 56 percent locked up are black and so the 14 sro units our concerns one of the greatest housing crisis in san francisco the sf union takes a stand with the people against mass displacement and racism displacement we are able to knock on the doors of the sro

tenants first and foremost they didn't think they were facing eviction the process we've been describing is not adequate at all so part of what we're asking to conduct the eir and make sure the residents in that sro know what is going to happen in the future thanks. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi i i am an organizer with critical resistance i want to reiterate what people have said for the purposes of san francisco getting applying for the $80 million i think that is incredibly irresponsible for a $80 million money grab if 9 money is going to be sadly el

san francisco for paying interest for debt and for other context the board of the corrections describing the money has been come under strong railroading to - that evaluate whether jails are needed in those communities to address what is happening on the groin or outcomes are intended and if there is going to be environmental impact report and human impact with that said, so the people that are 3r0e7 that project i've talked about the need to replace the jail there are over one thousand empty beds in the county jail replying this 6 hundred and 40 or however many

by these are unnecessary i urge you to have a environmental impact report with a no build option. >> i'll. >> my remaining minutes to talk about how this jail is an employment center this is a loophole to get through the second process proposed project will have 2 hundred and 95 employment only 47 job years from what the utilized by the department of justice the average office space will have 9 one hundred hundred to 13 hundred jobs what's next considering a city parking garage or other public uses we should scrutinize to that push through a rushed process to get $80 million and also, we have to think about

the it is per possess to think that it will not have an impact on the freeway entrance and that's should be in the report thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi, i'm jamie okay. so some of the people that experiences the diversity environmental review are the residents of selma because of the age of the project but the lack of the assess of information and the languages of selma residents that do speak english as of 2008 fyi percent of residents are foreign-born and at this time speak english not well or at all as jessica those their lateral filipino and talking about people of color it speak tagalog and spanish, in

fact, adjudicate to selma were greater than residents are spanish only speakers. >> yes. the preliminary negative declaration is online to the public in english only the response to the appeal for the preliminary negative declaration is available on line in english only the notice for this hearing is available online in english only embedded are one thing it offers in spanish chinese and thank god for assistance for those languages they require the people ask for in accordance twenty-four hours for help it is entirely written in english ars this year's not adequate they're only a symbol so every step of the way the non-restricted english speakers are in the informed there are silence most of people that are vulnerable the entire project has been miss

handled and discriminationsy a full environmental impact report needs to be done and the report in its process needs to be assessable to the non-english people of color thank you. >> my name is camille i'm a member of the black matter area and other organizations that shall not think or be in my mind a worker the high school folks in san francisco in the past 6 months alone 6 students were pushed out of the san francisco to east bay and two from selma it is oakland and other other families are homeless in shelters i want to name that

affordable housing is scarce it is unessentially acceptable tolth allow the planners for the new jail so say they'll not help with affordable housing they said it wouldn't be necessary but made plans as necessary still unfair especially without replying the unit one for one we're waiting to hear what is okay to dan residents and one of the key romans reasons the need for affordable housing in that demand will not there people are being pushed out of the city a fullistic is virtually to understand the weight of the jail constriction in san francisco now it the time to ask questions to push for concrete answers when i have not heard today and insure the environmental impact report is done to insure clarity for the commission and all san

franciscans why have we yet to question the fact not having outdoor space is a violation of minimum standards which are the impacts of having it gov. close to the freeway you have the power to defend the working-class and others against the significant north ocean negative impacts of this construction we're asking for and need and demand a full environmental impact report and no build option for the san francisco jails thank you. >> hi i'm lee i misunderstood the rules i wanted to make sure i heard the project manager mentioned title 15 about the outdoor exercise space title 15

governs the correction abilities in san francisco we were talking about the building code so if someone is kept for 96 that's at&t's a type of one and type of 4 minimum security people go out into the community those don't require the outdoor space type two and three do this is all i have to say pefrm i wouldn't go jogging down there i wouldn't be expecting people to have awe robust experiencing i ask you to consider this and. >> hi, i'm a community member and speaking on behalf of someone that had to leave bus of 3 hours my family has been in san francisco for 7 generations i have a lot of history i fully

oppose this project so it is - my name is woods i'm from justice project for the coalition i'm here so urge a environmental impact report for the bryant hall of justice we conducted so a no build alternative can be considered i worked with non-people of color and while i'm well aware of the conditions being terrible because of the negative declaration under those red flags before the rebuild i'm concerned of the air quality and noise it is located in an air pollutant and negative declaration states a ventilation is appropriate how it is not mitigated on the air quality once considering the noise on the i'd the enclosure
