city and build neighborhoods that stay around and not move somewhere else you can't have one use you've got to have one liveable neighborhood within one envelope i had that tension p there i personally them while not a full-scale but personally what i asked for and all 7 commissioners commissioner hillis not here today broadway-sansome apartments but everyone has a different idea i might ask a question to the project sponsor commissioner wu's sentiment can you talk about again why you were not able to do more of a full scale reconfiguration of the space. >> thank you commissioner johnson by that are you

referring to the previous testament that look at the retail on the north side of the site and we asked you to do a little bit more to not have the space in the middle over the building one the ideas why can't you do reconfiguration to recreate that 3 hundred and 25 square feet retail in the south side of the building or on the north ends and that was one option that was presented. >> uh-huh. >> so a question why where were you not able to do a full configuration. >> in part due to the fact the retail near the corner makes sense for the good urban stand out having the cad i mentioned of the activity from the mid block to the corner and in this

stance from micro to retail to clinic excluding the level the activity placing the retail makes sense to us when we looked to move to the north side this is a primary care center for universal access to skewer and the great difference of from the corner of 20th down towards 19th street required us to do ramping to get into that space we thought that ramping would seek further into the space and start eating into program area in the models we're looking at this is not a large size in the modern health care planning so having a retail components at the north side eats into the program area raise more concerns

about the viability of the enterprise in and of itself accept especially in a health care dynamic a bunch of specialists caring for their patients does that answer your question to what your asking. >> i think that reflects the reasoning from the last time we were hear but i'll see what my fellow commissioners have to say they feel like the changes are reflective of that thank you. >> commissioner richards. >> so when we met maybe if so project sponsor could come up i love this idea i think the 39 feet and the thirty feet and i see the flower stand in the union street area we want to get a retain to figure out though a condition it gets used so the

can you tell me who is leasing to to who and we've been in discussions with the developer of the property and the space will think leased directly in the pertaining to a tenant the idea that they'll handle the leasing side of that you he is been very supportive of this he said that this will be something he'll have no trouble supporting and marketing and leasing leasing. >> my question will be to staff is there a condition this needs to be active that here we have a

project sponsor years ago we asked him to do 3 retail says that the track record is dodge i didn't he put a hook up for the flower stand and decided it is not worst the trouble and closes the door now we have a dead space how do we insure that will get used. >> commissioner you can require it be a retail use it fulfills the use of a retails function but no nothing you can do to say you have to have a personal use in there, there are lots of raltsdz spaces in the city that are vacant you can't require that if you sign a lease with someone - you can require the space be provided to be usedable by a retailer but not required -

>> okay. he understand. >> i was looking at the record i don't want this to be the thing to hinge our hope on and over the finish line kaput. >> i mean, you, thinking out loud ask the pertaining to accountability the marketing efforts or review what they've done to market the space that is legitimate. >> okay. >> cool. >> i like it idea that's one of the conditions. >> commissioner antonini and yeah. go ahead project sponsor. >> we'll be more than happy and willing to you know as a conditional of approval or occupancy to agree to that in my

motion brought before the commission and we're very motivated to encourage the developer to work with us on this element. >> so my motion as a revised would include a 6 most months to look back and the other thing the project sponsor that the planter boxes are continuous with the space your illustration shows 36 inches of micro but it seems to me those should be set back as the micro retail it is going to be the same regardless you might as well as open that up they're part of the micro than the outdoor environmentalist i know you have to work with your architect to make sure there are structural elements but it seems to me didn't change the interior hall

the width is still the same. >> are you suggesting a structural change? i planters >> the intent was to keep it within the building envelope with no changes. >> you made one when you put the micro. >> the out cove . >> the sustainability those planters will be during the business hours will be uncovered with planters or - >> and then in the evenings. >> could be covered up but they should be included as part of

the lease our will lease and have control of the lease. >> okay sounds like good. >> commissioner moore. >> could you speak about your 25 square feet i realize this space that really primarily assessed from the interior of the building that has an outdoor access door; is that correct. >> that's correct and in the slide in the first it ration of the retail we having a shared entrance that he corner with the care center itself subsequent to meeting with the merchants. >> can i ask the commissioners

- >> to subsequent to the meeting with the valencia merchants we looked at the removal of one entertainment room as you can see there is the entertainment room across the hall a previous iteration of a treatment room along the frontage the structural climate oh structural column that is shown boo above the 13 feet retail space that area we expanded to the north and with that expansion allowed us more breathing random in the retail space for the

dictated entrance. >> the thing i want to point out to the commission and that the retail space primarily is accessed from the grade wealthy interior of the medical office there is a door and depending on the merchandise i think the primary use of that retail will be served from the inside not a outside it is hard to monitor who comes and goes and who is supposed to be in the spore store or not the store will be closed whatever and we'll be ended up while we have a door with the retail that is an accessory to the medical offices and medical patient that didn't mean that is a reflection think what merchandise they use i don't believe this will be the

coffee shop where everybody comes from the outside and sits there in its own right this is supportive of the medical use of the rest of the floor but not really in that sense complimentary to the rest of what is happening on valencia street. >> commissioner richards. >> to commissioner moore's point the retail space i know this is getting a little bit drawn out but the 3 hundred 25 square feet will is a cashier there to take money and obviously in designing this we have to look at function how to operate this is a meaningful way and keeping our go core business which is health care the way we've designed the internal space we don't have a

cashier we call them patient service representatives you can think of that as a friendly collect, if you will, but a desk facing outdoor but the door to the retail space it kept open no reason for it not to be kept open and separated by the column a beautiful broad entrance to the clinic and the retail door with the personnel being able to man both areas yes, of course, it will have to cashier or cashier register that will work out beautiful people the objects that are in the store perspire renderings we had a picture for you have a current health and

healing store it can be branded health and healing not the same brand as the clinton merchandise in that will be extremely attractive to the neighborhood and shoppers i guess one last comment from the merchants association president would like to comment aside from a florist any other type of merchandise that could be spread out over 10 feet and the additional 26 i'm sorry 7 and a half feet on each side the magazine places they have the magazines hanging we have the florists that is a great idea pinning our hopes on one type of retail to get to thirty feet so the markings have to be specific is there another florists on valencia street

merchant association president. >> across the street. >> merchants association president please or merchants association. >> please. the florist it on 16th street that's far. >> that will fill in easier. >> the only thing that's comes up in meeting a news stands no where to buy a magazine on valencia not true dog areas sells magazine but there's a need for it. >> okay. thank you. >> commissioner antonini and so indians it the door to valencia remains open during business hours that's a condition obviously and yeah. a news stand is a great idea one should be found in every neighborhood and they're not around.

>> commissioner richards. >> can we condition that the door to the retail space needs to be open during business hours one last comment here this is a really, really hard one for me, i get the mission i don't live far from that i see 3 high-end restaurants and a where the balance is commissioners, on that motion and we're trying to make it but we're pinning our hopes this could work i think we've got the face of the project sponsor and the landlord so i appreciate everybody important thoughts on this. >> commissioners there is a motion and a second to approve that with conditions to exclude a six months update on the matt of the space

as well as the business door to remain open during business hours commissioner antonini. >> commissioner johnson commissioner moore no commissioner richards commissioner wu no commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes 4 to 2 with commissioner moore and commissioner wu voting against. >> commissioner moore. >> commissioner president fong it might not important to refer the applicant to the small business commission and they're helping small merchants finding spaces perhaps mr. super could follow-up. >> or sf aid or any merchant in the city thank you. >> commissioners that places you under our discretionary review calendar for items 17
