members of the public since publication of draft eir a number of project updates and revisions are being pursued as the preferred project the preference project will be unsustainable similar to the draft eir and the environmental effects result in the same or slightly reduced environmental effect in the draft eir for all environmental topics the preferred topic about not avoid the two cumulative significant and unavoidableable transportation impacts therefore the commission will need to adopt the overriding consideration pursuant to ceqa should the commission need the preferred project since rtc and to the environmental officer

including caltrans and a comment letter from the castro boosters rebelling live oaks school and friends of jackson playground the letter has before provided to you because on the job letters were received in the last week and a half we were unable to approve them in the rtc that he over support their comments on the merits and will be addressed to the hearing in addition some of the concerns raised in the e-mail is similar to comments already address in the rtc the eastern neighborhood the gross projects o projection and the methodologies and the remediation of material specifically points raised in the letter in regards to the rtc construction wise and the

emotion of hazardous material live oaks school the check list ace the draft eir that were respond and identified the emotion measures to lessen the impacts and the rtc the excavation and removal of the soil b will occur over one month and the removal of contaminated soil and the emotion miles an hour prepare a health and save and air quality and emissions control and soil management plan to will this the oversight workers and residents and the additional comments about the concerns are address in the c pa and the draft eir emotion measures outlined in the ct e to address the construction noise additionally if feasible the sponsor has attempted to

schedule did obligation soil and the noise of the construction activities like demolition during the summer of 2016 when the offsetting population is reduced timing of the substance control with the professional the approval the response plan is a separate action from certification of the final eir the public comment will be by the d c s c, however, it describes 3 emotion measures before the building permits those mediations and regulatory are the preliminary components that will be approved by dp s considers those regulatory requirements in the draft eir and the rtc insures that the

hazardous materials will not cause a hazard to the public both projections of the eir and accumulative impact this issue was addressed in a presentation to the commission on october 11th and in subsequent sdumgsz the mariposa project within the frontalss of the eir if there are further questions about this the environmental review officer is here to respond and lastly the transportation methodology and the use of 2025 for the cumulative it was used because of the draft eir is consistent and sets within the identification of the eir for the cumulative conditions additionally questions have been raised with regards to the level

of environmental effects in the proposed count is changes to include the 3 bedroom unit after certification of the eir this change will have to be to determine the impacts of the change, however, the increase in 3 bedroom units are are will result in a minor there, however, the preferred project presented in the rtc unit will be i identified in the draft eir therefore the transportation analysis that would be required for this proposed change will likely show transportation impacts of those with that will be similar to the preferred project in the draft eir staff recommends the motion be approved it is accurate and adequate and the procedures through the the final eir comply with the provisions of ceqa and

chapter 34 of the administrative code that concludes my presentation. i'm available to answer any questions. >> thank you project sponsor please. i'm sorry staff. >> staff report for the project. >> good afternoon planning commission chris are planning department staff that is a large project authorization requiring the ceqa findings for the eir for the mixed use on mariposa street under the lp a the modifications from the planning code for planning code requirements for rear yard ground floor non-residential

>> our architect gets organized i'll introduce myself in the project i'm bill the ceo of related california the project sponsor with me is yes duffey from the architect david barker and associates i think you know that the site currently. >>was in warehouses and storage uses the main users of the site seeking greater space has moved to 6000 third street within the city of san francisco as the plans developed over the last 3 years of community meetings eir analysis we focused on a couple of key points first is trying to adjust our original scale and context and second to increasing the open space especially that is available to

the public third is diverseing the exterior elevation by block to respond to the preexisting conditions and lastly adding but community benefits that steady those required in the code where we stand today, you've heard from mr. towns is the project that is lower in height that is required 31 to 40 in height to the buildings and 2 and a half times the open space under the eastern neighborhoods plan with a public amuse northwest and south and creating the 1ub89sd to accommodate the needs of school and in agreement which we expect to sign today with the friends of jackson park to contribute $2 million with the approval by

the supply store the improvements in jackson park it is the money is in escrow under the auspices of the park alliance had a corruptive meeting with the jackson park and i'm optimistic that progress is achieved in that direction lastly you've heard through not in this proposal tend to submit a report from the presentation all of which will be on or adjacent to the amuse closer to the open space and finally we have been committed to provide 25 percent of the units 50 with medium income availability with that, i'm going to turn it over to i'm yes duffey with david barker

>> in ground water mall right now perhaperhaps this is the site 4.34 acres with 4 unique edges i'll address from the design stand point in a moment first, i wanted to mention a couple of things bill said a couple of points in terms of the zoning we have 3 times as much car share on site and twice bike storage onsite and the big thing 200 and 64 percent of open space on site the unit mix we've discussed initiating 10 units in the

package now doubled to 20 the site plan currently the entire block no public space now this breakdown the scale of the block and the massing for a better fit introducing 3 new ungated public assess ways the 3 areas on mariposa and 18 street a few other things in the plan the corner retail activates the two opposing prashgd on jackson playground and mariposa on 18 and arkansas the amenities are in original and you know one idea came up in the community outreach to incorporate a flex room for neighborhood use and that's a thousand square feet in the middle of the public use the

blue that is residential with active ground zero with patios and the garage is tuckered away out-of-sight all you see are two garage entries the black areas to reduce the traffic one on arkansas and 18 street. >> so first walk through the project we'll start on arkansas street and go 18 street and down carolyn those have different characterize arkansas we look at the context castro hill it is a 25 block increments and we study that and respond to something that speaks the same common language activate ground floor stoops and materials at the ground a lot of planning we set the building back 5 feet from

the property line to allow for the public realm now we're looking down arkansas street that's the site - that's the proposed building. >> sdoem into the corner retail retail only the corner and two stories above. >> now we'll look at 18 street a loft industrial loft you know a different feel we responded with a building we think also is much in character with the character the broken massing for courtyard and public courtyard with the retail steps down the hill all the way to the left the entry to the muse here down 18 street the same corner retail on the left hand that is

difficult to see that building is 31 feet tall and removed a story part of 4 year process and sybil shorter than building across the street. >> carr kar /* /- carolina and this is broken in the massing at the pedestrian entries the key thing the change over time improved the empowering is pdr space full board to be in the neighborhood scale and uses here's an example of the corner rail with 3 bulb outs and mariposa and we'll walk through the muse live oak on the left 40 feet high buildings and entries

to the mid block muse in the middle at all gracious commercial ground floor here's the sgri to the muse 40 foot widest that is an quantitative public space. >> the design the muse david fletcher studio did it, it is about interpretative play with the natural elements throughout friendly and here we are many the middle of the muse plaza to the left is the residential lobby is the residential lobby and the flex room a key element to the left if you take a left in the photo the biggest improvement is the east west public passageway it is 35 feet

wide nearly the size of a public streets as i mentioned it is unincubated and open 200 and 60 feet long and 40 feet at the plaza there is it at the groaning blown-up up to arkansas street and you get a sense of 25 feet wide in terms of the public walkable and the parks on the right 35 feet. >> there are a couple of more slides bill will speak to design requirements since it is in front of the you the process is ongoing we wanted to show you thank you. >> so thank you we tried to take advantage look at feedback in improvements to make to the existing design with a particular focus on the popping and passages we mentioned doubling the 3 bedroom

count all the existing 10 on the muse as townhomes and the other that will not be townhomes but they'll be close to the public space. >> we've taken out and in response to the balconies in the east west muse in the public space i will state for the record we've been questioned on this the setback in the east west muse is 35 feet 25 feet in the foot of the patio to live oaks school visibly you'll see 35 feet but pedestrian 25 feet i want to be clear on that. >> and then. >> more on the balconies. >> well, we took out the balconies. >> from the school classrooms. >> we've gotten comments from the entry of the muse from

arkansas street we've come up with an alternative opposite up the entry to a much greater decree o decree in the passage 11 feet clear there is more sun and more open it is something we will certainly support that represent by way of an update thank you. >> okay. >> thank you open up for public comment tony rodriguez (calling names).

>> good afternoon commissioners i'm tony rodriguez represent the workers union and a native american or native born and raised and here to ask to you vote in favor of this project this is to our union and well paying jobs for the residents and outreach to the community to create and project that fits well within the community and like i said i've been in san francisco all my life san francisco is always changing some people accept that but san francisco and for the community this project is a good project and well-thought-out i ask you to vote in favor of the project thank you. >> afternoon commissioners i'm ron miguel as far as the item number 6 is concerned on

ceqa any opinion is adequate and accurate and should be certified as far as the project is concerned i've lived 40 years less than two blocks from the site and obviously built r know that very, very well that is exactly what we how the of in the eastern neighborhoods you have a situation where you had a bus parking lot basically and a auto parts distribution you are coming into the neighborhood residential and services and you want the residential exactly in this type of location you have old foods and safeway all walking distance two to three coffee shops and several restaurant and two games and jackson park you've already heard about the electrician that

will be given to jackson park directly across the street the design as evolved in my opinion very nicely and as you heard it is still evolving sitting where you're sitting i know the design will continue to evolve what you do today which i hope is to move this project forward well, still be tweeted by the department and interface with the neighborhood i was glad to hear it will be looked at as to the department the department will look at it as to possible interim controls as it gordon's i think that is correct as far as pdr you have a magnificent pdr coming in very,

very close to one hundred hooper the area is well served this is exactly in my mind thought of in the eastern neighborhoods when we wanted to increase and shape the residential and change because change is coming change the neighborhood it is going to start in potrero hill and dog patch thank you. >> as you're working your way up i'll call a couple of more names (calling names). >> game changer my name is scott the director of operations at

live oak school ami i'd like to address the safety of our children in terms of traffic i believe that this study shows about 24 hundred more traffic or automobile trips through the area once that project is completed we don't think the traffic study as addressed this but should address the crossing lights and more signage and perhaps a crossing guard during rush hour when the kids are arriving at the school when traffic is to the east i'd like to address the air quality having classes and the children are around i'm concerned that once the project gets started the monitoring will not be accurate to insure all the necessary guidelines are

followed i'm advocating there is an impartial continuance monitoring to comply with the air quality and noise for our children and they're learning experience thank you. >> hello i'm available to answer any questions you may have kindra the director of development i'm concerned about the health and safety and well-being of the children and the neighborhood as well as the projects going on i would specifically like to ask the monitored they say that attempts will be made for emotion activities and demolition work to be done when school is not in session i ask that that will be done during that time and

additional i would like to request the addition of flashing crosswalks and a point of contact a third point of contact made available throughout the duration of crosswalks to people develop concerns they want to voice have someone present onsite thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is amy i'm a parent of a student at live oak school my daughter in eight grade my family will be impacted from a student standpoint i think this is important to address the concept of schools in general in san francisco and our school and their schools like ours get

operations he learner we can only accept a fraction this is a big project i'm fearful of the impact on the children at the school and i think this is really, really important to note that the school is important and it needs to be addressed i agree with kendra that someone need to be on site it will be addressed right away and i share scott's concern that all the measures that are put in place are carried throughout this project clearly will take a a long time i'm nervous how the effect on the school and the neighborhood i live in the mission so i won't be affected but i think that is really, really important to note the

people move out of the city when we have kids we moved out of the city an important place to raise kids i want to make sure this is being addressed thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners donald a resident of san francisco and concerned about our housing crisis this is one of the projects that really addresses the housing crisis today it is next to a school, however, what is there next to the school now a warehouses i feel is kind of scary for the school children nearby he and this is a block the developers have taken extra care to reach to the community and made the necessary modifications and also reduced the unit from three hundred and

20 to two hundred and 99 now 20 percent the dedicated pdr space is key and important that activates the block and invites the dog patch and potrero hill business owners to set up shop and it creates for open space to children and families and displaces none with the new construction i'd like to remind everyone that voter have spoken we need to keep the momentum going and to the interim controls do not prevent evictions and displacement or add rent-controlled units to the supply or lower the prices and given incentives for landlords to keep their buildings when we delay with emergency rooms the housing crisis is real today it is happening and right now 55

thousand dwelling units and supply like that we need to keep overseeing dwelling units moving forward through the planning commission there is an estimated 1.2 million jobs in the bay area by 2040 thank you. please support the project. >> i'm sarah parents of a fourth grade student at live oaks school i want to thank the gentlemen for the endeavors thus far to cooperate with the stakeholders in the neighborhood i think there are a couple of areas i'm concerned about the environmental impact report in particular, the issue that addresses the hazardous materials the issue that kendra spoke to you know, i think it is a great

report i thank the commission for going through it but ken dwra points out the language is toothless it requires the developers to do absolutely noting nothing feasible and an attempt to do the demolition and emotion procedures with the school is no it in session what's not feasible what is feasible really mean to the commission and the requirements of the developer to do make the best efforts i think the proposal language should include you know the development and construction takes place with this specific demolition while not in session during the summer of 2016 it it should be a requirement of the environmental impact statement we're acknowledging the fact we may

choose to don't worry about and do construction in an area that is acknowledged to have significant environmental hazardous waste had the students are in school i think that is cumbersome upon us as at community and parents and as one of the commissioners said as a fellow human being to do the right thing by our kids in school thank you. >> hi thomas potrero hill and the person that reached it out to commissioner richards for comment tips we'll see you lived on the mariposa and in potrero hill 99 through 2002 familiar with the site definitely in support of project i sent you a letter part of your packet i want to hit a few key points i love the 20 percent

affordable onsite this location is a great location for people to live low g hd take muni and bike and walk i love the increase setback between the project and the live outcomes school that was important in the original proposal was not right all the open space is a key benefit to the community and i really love the design there is a lot of reports sometimes, i read the staff recommendation the design is exceptional david barker is an experienced architect and it will turn our head around one hundred 80 degrees just as the 18 and arkansas very controversial at the time it has turned both a great community

asset this would one will too the second is a comprehensive i want to close by that's why you for your services and the neighbors helpful in getting this project to this point i hope we moved with an approval today thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon commission my name is steve i didn't a mom at live oaks school and please i have a daughter lilly 6-year-old she loves learning and learning to read and loss recess and chasing the boys i want you to imagine you're waiting to run around and chase the boys at recess and lunch at jackson park and bracketing really hard not thinking about the hazardous materials that are coming at you

in the air our mom is she's in this afternoon ever nerves you'll get sick i ask you to please make sure the hazardous material are happening at a time when the kids are in the under and you're looking at the records worse on the paper and trying to hear in you're ahead e head what is that word and loud construction noise please make sure that those loudest noise at the construction site happen during summer break so it didn't interfere with the kids trying to learn we know there is a lot of noise and as part of a whole process but help us to mitigate something like that i've made friends but they've moved out of the i city it is hard to raise

kids we need to protect the learning environment thank you very much. >> hi, i'm silva i'm going to read a short letter he wrote in support of the project i'm writing 1601 mariposa a model for the projects that are being developed in the project sponsor recommended california is helping to offer native san franciscans the opportunity to have a hope of living here and raising their children they grew up loving the project is 20 percent affordable housing to help to insure that potrero hill is here and our family born and raised in the mission district we're raising a third-generation

that are attending daniel webster in potrero hill we have grown to love potrero hill because of the educational opportunity for our children the only thing no opportunity for the working-class families to live here we would like to raise our children like 1601 mariposa is proposing we had the privilege of growing up in a working-class family not face with affordable housing because the richness our variability of food and other things we were effort to grooving grew up can't offer our own children because the fluctuating costs it saddened us to think our children will miss out on our history the future history which is why we hope that 1601 mariposa burglary sustain our

community culture by giving people like us people of color and people from the working-class i background we're excited for the outdoor space and schools in walking distance the mom and pop shops and a salesman for my children to have their own home overlooking the beautiful view of san francisco lastly 1601 mariposa has pdr says that a good example of keeping san francisco roots by giving the skilled workers to maintain a strong bond with its community thank you. >> i have a handout for the commissioners that is the 4 proposed guidelines for a large

project scombrmz we proposed last week the community members will present their analysis whether mar possess needs the controls i'll frame on the 4 accounting proposal whether the project and sponsors have outreached to the neighborhood this is the neighborhood has been engaged with the related with us working with 3 sets he was project leads on bringing this sediment e development to the finish line any improvements that came out of that feedback but i'm notable the boosters approved this more able to say we oppose it when september and prior to the october calendar date several issues we are identified one is providing the clarity for to take a position our membership asked for a continuance to give us time to

settle the issue they didn't and go to a continuance one was granted in the letter from numerous groups several open items and moving we'll get into the police cars but the open issues is two-fold first of all, by the open issues of preventing the incumbrance to get a broader design we had a discussion the potrero hill approved it as we go through the guidelines that has been able to address the designed economy we're eager to avoid in the eastern neighborhood but the second issue it is this is. in a difficult position with the open issues and here we can include the design by coming to you before a complete project for these you to advocate and decide

on our on behalf of if we finally listed the issues and in our support or lack there here's our instructions from the open issues have not been resolved and instead of coming back to the neighborhood we've seen online with the goes on we the community should be the one side here speaking in support of this frontage we were only now given the full chance so we're here today thank you very much. >> i'm handing you some letters 6 letters will the opposition to the project that didn't get in by the deadline alison and potrero hill the project authorizations will combine 6 parcels into 3 and

1/3rd acres in a 2 acre block is the norm one would expect to screen the structures two huge buildings with the north west it has the potential to have a break in the mass because of overhang it rise up to does not - the open space should be redesigned to be more than hard escape passages to include greener areas and neighborhood amenities and commercial k commercial used with interaction and reaction a project demand the exceptional design that harmonized with its surrounding while maintaining a sense of place along 18 street an inherent problem with one david

barker building across the street from the man you are that recognizes the david barker building here the the not harmony along did you passageway is a form and finishes of each side too much of the one opposite and depending e extending 23 hundred feet without a break the result is the less authentic facade and the frontage longer than carr lien with a missed opportunity to reference the detailing of the brewery so commissioners here's the problem given the disappointed level of community engagement and a lack of formal guidelines we end up with a crazy happy a hundred process not fair to anyone and unfortunate the skafrp with buildings that are neighborhood

characteristic and not enhancing that one additional point the $2 million deal on the table was related includes the requirement that the residential unit not be reduced of 10 thousand 99 units this is good restrictive and makes that harder to have a mix designed tweaks and increase the percentage of design space thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm rod a residential the potrero hill and a co-founder of the grassroots i want to address some of the designs concerns raised specific massing and scale first applaud the conclusion inclusion of two passages each promised to break down the use and the developer

can go further in achieving a final design the east west passageway is 25 feet not the thirty or 40 foot setback the developer claims it should reflect the pledge the true 35 passageway that severs as an buffer preventing the light and air for the adjacent live oaks school the project should respond more to the surrounding urban block of residential buildings and small-scale commercial uses this is proposed and envisions buildings across 3 acres the blocking structures demonstrate a lack of thoughtful design for buildings that are definition longer than carr lien and arkansas street the

developers caved out some of the massing especially on arkansas the revisions are minimal again more can be done with or done to widen and deep and legit them one notch or a setback here or there to have a modulation falls short of design and also the current plans lack the adequate penthouse for elevators and stairs and how those will be designed to minimize the impact on the vantage points out this one employees several architects should employ several annexes so this is not merged into development perhaps those will make a difference measures by the planning commission may want to consider for larger projects in the future and potrero hill shows a density for the neighborhood as 27 unit per acre

related 89 will triple the density of potrero hill unfortunately reduces the project density by less than 10 percent is not meaningful when you consider the neighborhood scale and characteristic in closing beggar projects have a bigger responsibility to achieve superior design i urge you to help make that project a better fit for the neighborhood thanks. >> (calling names). >> commissioners tony vice president of the potrero boosters the interim controls westbound submitted last week

unintended to be a composition test for the architect and developers not ss a we're trying to get better buildings and drawings i see the renderings of 3 sides of the mariposa on the screen ask yourselves how this project buildings makes a good character trying to get something on the screen does that project earner the large-scale in the neighborhood one side another a third a fourth. >> i see there is not that dissimilar the project deserves a better design it came up in last week's forum there is

taking of materials on into a series of boxes the attempted texture and detail is sproishl and this to do with the casting features that is material on top of boxes of seen and approved many times before the rooflines are they finished or detailed or the building is stretched up and what does that do to the features on the ground floor i'll say the same thing this is an attempt at a roofline here but not on the one side of the building the muse the change of uses inside the muse can a make that welcome not just usher folks through i ask you for artists space inside of the muse noted only on the outside and

really significant differences in the building space i'll say it is minute news in a couple of colors in our neighborhood that you've are already approved we can't trust the staff to finish the design of the project that is exactly who i have the - we don't want on approval if the podium and say the staff will work out we have no architecture on the staff that's why question have the 0 problem a small delay will not hurt that it will approve that we ask for a more substantial project to the controls thanks for listening. >> good afternoon, president

of the potrero hill 1601 mariposa is a unique project it is nearly 6 blocks large in the middle of the residential neighborhood and next to a park and it is circle think a street near mariposa connects the two freeway assess it is unlike any other project in potrero and deserves cafeteria attention according to the eir and we expect more significant traffic on mariposa due to the 101 off-ramp and the 20s on and off-ramp we're 200 in danger of having mariposa a defactor against the common sense sdrien what the area plan envisions

putting a large building which will generate a lot of traffic is expected according to the eir to provide localized congestion and will likely provide for congestion in adjacent unstudied intersections the second impact to the size of the project is the impact on the views from jackson park jackson park is one of the few open neighborhood parks we have and has a view to the south of potrero hill right now good sides of the view are blocked off by the brewery and live oaks school this project will fill in the remaining space third effect we have to the

potential of this project is coming at the expense of a great deal of pdr space it is providing very this eir space to replace this is a unique opportunity no other site officers finally this project has been several years in planning many meetings with the developer and we've always encountered foot-dragging in the final plan the developer take 5 percent of the originally envisioned and other improvements have been required anyway if public mergers are going to have any effect please i would like you to consider they be taken seriously in consideration

for this project thank you. >> indulge commissioners i'm with the potrero hill residents and with friends of jackson and handing to you hard copies of the e-mail that i sent to you earlier this week on the tenth i'm here to talk about the the need to create open space and save the precious space in our neighborhood as you may know our community has repeatedly voiced a lack of open space in potrero hill on the developers side there is open space but make sure that open space has planned with greenery and keeps it friendly and in the advisory committee of green space and not concrete and a great deal of pathways we appreciate the addition and the increase of the family-friendly units like 10 to

make sure that open space and pathways make for a family friend garrett spaces friends of jackson join with live oak community their concern about the mid block passageways at 36 feet all the way across and more important skewering or securing the health and noise that happened discussing the construction that will effect the live oak kids era folks in jackson park at the time i want to say a friends of jackson park works with live oak and san francisco rec and park to create a benefit for the ramps on jackson park related to the dpw said not related to the determine how that will be to

the ends we sent out a survey to the people own the e-mail list and overwhelmingly can you be that people want to see the community rec center on the community this shows our community needs the precious green space we have i like to urge you to keep in mind we're put out not survey and figure out the first step to get the community outreach to find out what we can do and work with the stakeholders in order to get a plan for jackson park and as a see we love the developer to come to the agreement in order to direct their impact fees all of them or a percent towards the renovation of jackson park.

parents doing everything we can to insure the green space allocated is enough for children to enjoy and the playground is not cost and no sunset because the vitamin d those children will not be enough if this building coffers it which is what we're seeing he wanted to tell you one more thing that is amazing you guys do everything you did this is important to feel our voices are heard and if our children are exposed to hazardous materials? their future and i hope you take that seriously thank you >> hello good afternoon. i'm laura and i've two children at live oak one in elementary schools the first time grade and

the second in middle school i share many of the concerns for us today about the scale of the project and the lack of open space and the number of cars that will be coming in the neighborhood already efrpdz along mariposa street a line of cars and the traffic has really increased in that area and children are walking across the street everyday on their way to school and quacking to jackson park for recess and for pe sister-in-law kids in the crosswalks and middle schoolers leave the school by themselves often at the end of the day or on the way to school so i want to insure

that their kept save the toxic measures are introduced including crosswalks thank you. >> hello my name is chris james a i have a kindergartener at live oak 5 and a half years old the half is important and there's a lot of things to the parents have said that's safeties i want to address one concern and that is the remediation activities associated with hazardousus materials the phrase the sentence feasible response attempt to schedule the demonstration and remediation activities in summary summer of 2016 no responsibility for the sponsors to protect around the

teachers from the risk of exposure to hazardous materials and contaminated materials we would like to see much stronger language specifically about that we - the project emotion activity should be scheduled when the school is not in session and communication a reference to the document about posting communication up on the site regarding hazardous materials and in this day and age especially where we live in terms top locally and to the residents on a weekly basis to lemon them know what is going on

thank you. >> as the next speaker comes up (calling names). >> my name is u london lands a kindergartener at live oaks and 3-year-old twins that will be joining. >> can you speak into the microphone. >> sorry i'm short. >> so i have a 12 year run with the children i think my primary concerns echo a lot of what's been said already the concern with the language i'd like to see that strengthened to require the noisiest and most hazardous demolition during the

summer most and the other primer is the traffic measures serving a few incidents of skids hit in crosswalks near the school are dissecond street for everyone and every measure to make sure that the safety of our kids crossing the streets throughout the day and my secondary concern would be the green space in the development i'd like that increased to the 35 feet that was discussed and the idea of an onsite community space that is large and assessable for uses i'm in support of that and i'm in support of making sure that this passageways from the screens is not just paved and welcoming and inviting to the

school community and neighborhood community as well. >> thank you. >> tends to prove. >> hi, i'm cammy a san francisco recipe a live oak mom and i vote i'd like everybody to know i'd like to reiterate the i have the traffic concerns as well i walk my daughter into school along with any 3 year-old son a abundance of people that run the stop signs even though security guard does an amazing job of keeping everybody in line he is one person we'll be battling more and more drives e drivers so whatever signage would be terrific i'd like to reiterate i also would like the hsa hazardous materials and noise to be at a minimum and

done through the summer months if at all possible thank you very much. >> hi steve i didn't i own a small internal design i'm out here everyday i'm not an expert but know about the construction and i'm the mom of two children so my kids are in the first and third grade i echo the concerns and hope very, very much that you'll basically have the sponsor do the deconstruction and the demolition in the summer months and if they not our children need to be somewhere

another school which doesn't have a population that is here to be heard but you need to consider you've heard the mention of i s a we've got two elementary schools daniel webster but two schools there and the impact of all that traffic at the same time in the morning is dangerous for residents and the children and we saw a horror retention accident so really, really need to make sure when over talking about the traffic caging measures the benefits at live oaks school that benefit whatever the population is going to be and you're communicating with the san francisco unified school district as to with whatever is going to be on the campus to you hope you'll take

those things take into account. >> thank you. next speaker, please as you're working your way up (calling names). >> good afternoon a san francisco resident and a live oak parents i am here nerve to support more to outburst to the project i'm here to ask the plans of the projects are changed to absorb the 35 foot project i've been practicing architecture in the city of san francisco the set back means no part of the building that sticks into that i'm urging the developer to change his plans and the commissioners to impose this setback and the developer want to somehow asks for a variance

he can do see and explain what the hardship is thank you very much. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is cashing i can't i'm a resident of the hill i've also on the hill for 23 years the past 18 years i've been fortunate to buy a home on any, any between 18 and 19th although the process of building out mission bay and potrero hill is a motion we're a compression of traffic with no path of emotion and judging from the skeletons of the new buildings it is going to get worse every

block of communication custom 86 adds to travel that is to a standstill in the non-community hours and yet he buildings are in the process of being added to the inadvertent with anymore projects proposed and in the approval stage although the city talks about a transit first policy obviously that plan exists in name only we'll have cars and cars and more cars and buses stuck in lanes along with cars the general idea of planning a city to build infrastructure before you start building out businesses and residentss here we have a situation we're through talk of infrastructure what infrastructure could there is from the surface streets are at capacity our streets in the neighborhoods of new construction such as co-sponsor

have an site and 1601 mariposa are mainly two-lane streets laid out in victorian area to service a modest population now those streets are virtual freeways ramps for commuters and sports nuchlz backing up into residential streets virtually confining residents to their homes short of building tunneled and subways no remedies for the cumulative traffic on the streets the only remedy not making a bad situation worse in short mathematics out of room to move for vehicles yet the planning to continue a pathway of trying to stuff 10 pounds of stuff in 5 pound bags for those reasons he strongly urge and

object bible of the building to scale them for the realties on the ground and rather to the decisions to the developers that don't live in the city thank you. >> good afternoon commissioners i'm gary i'm a residence of san francisco lived here for 26 years and 11 years in the area that is being talked about a union sheet metal working a i'm here to voice my support for the mariposa project that project has twice as much open space as

making that more family friend and the developer has committed $23 million to improve the sdwraks playground me and my son goes to you urge you to approve the 1601 mariposa project thank you. >> hello commissioners, i live in the area the project about 3 years and i'm a union cement worker here to voice any support for the mariposa project that project will enhance the neighborhood by replying park distributions what is a for the opponent housing our city needs i urge to you support of project

the mariposa project thank you. >> good morning, commissioners danny i representative with the sheet metal workers one 04 since 1903 you see the workers and due to the interest of time rather than having the other members i represent to speak please stand up and be recognized we support this project for the numerous benefits that was mentioned earlier we're very excited that this developers is done above and beyond we can't miss the opportunity to increase of

affordable housing in the city especially with the prices we're facing and we're committed to partnership with the snitchy partners that insures the local residents will be employed and paged good wages and means that apprentices will be hired and career pathways for the youth we look forward to your support in approving the eir thank you very much. >> hello, i'm judith i live in bernal height my son graduate from live oak i'm interested in

the neighborhood and actually go through every day on the 22 counseling station i wanted to focus on some of the concerns in terms of the eir has it shows there is shadow in the building on jackson park even though i guess according to the rules not a super at all building it's okay part of issue that there is impact on local recreation ron ma devil mentioned two games in the neighborhood unfortunately i've been a membership and my kids can't assess the gym the kids needs playground and the parks that's basically the know i'd like to talk about the eir and my it is it is deficient in terms of watching for pedestrians on our

rtc on august 5th the schools were out and april 29th a day that live okay. let's out earlier from 46 to 7 to 9 a morning drop off and no recognition for a serious pedestrian safety their offering to pay for traffic control a few blocks away we need to address the safety adverse i'll urge you no to the allow the loading dock exception from having off-street loading sfgh loading creates hazard that is when people drive around trucks and things happen we know they want /* sfvd /- on

student that is a toxic site you need to make the language stronger than it feasible and it really is focused on the excavation part of project construction there are also star kings the local public school uses the after-school program in jackson park thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello commissioners. i'm rick a potrero hill residents a long time residents i oppose this project as it is there's been many, many good comments today on changes that need to be made changes that have already been made, etc. in my opinion it is all lipstick on a pig that

process causes magnificent loss of pdrs over 60 thousand square feet and it is too dense for potrero hill this is a destructive change to the character of our neighborhood that is a perfect example of fail of mou concept and the eastern neighborhoods plan there is no balance here in the u m u it is like not all residential with the exception of maybe last week 4 thousand square feet of nominal pdr this is not the kind of pdrs the city needs to retain the e n plan didn't anticipate

the curre the current grshd so we need to stop feeding this beast an earlier k34er789 or commenter that talks about a 5 pound bag this one is 20 pound bags we're stuffing too much into potrero hill. >> hello commissioners pete cultural action network yeah, he want to follow up on what the previous speaker talks about i was confused when i looked at this executive summary are we really user mixed use 97.6 residential percentage in the urban mixed use and how that qualifies for the urban mixed use especially in a city not only the eastern neighborhoods protection quite clear we have an enormous pdr loss in the capacities go on

and with that pdr loss we're seeing an enormous loss of community jobs and community of color disappearing and the widespread disappearance of artists a mass exodus those are exactly the kinds of spaces we need more housing our folks that the way out of scale not like a urban mixed use project either in the tint or in the paralysis application when i weigh the eastern neighborhoods actually overheard someone in the hallway this think an excellent test we'll repeat it a number of times i think that is exactly what they're looking for how far can we punish beyond the meaningful boundary thought mixed use to carve it up and

spot zoning from true urban mixed use to will have entirely residential overall when i look at this project those look like the number 4 hundred and 8 thousand square feet of residential as opposed to to 10 thousand residential square feet let's relimousine it residential it is only a couple of good-sized rooms tacked up please don't let this grrd go forward it is not a reasonable proposal in its current form a huge amount of more protections observed there environmental to our communities and i hope you'll keep in mind and ask for the projects in accordance to those projects thank you.

>> good afternoon, commissioners i'm joel with the local local 6 and the are contractors association here to voice over support for the adopting the ceqa finding and the granting of the large project authorization we my mind our letter of support and it should be in the packet and cards of commitment in support of the two members on vermont street and illinois and arkansas kansas street advocating for the project seeing it is done it's due diligence and committed to using local contractors that employ local electricians and apprentices here in san francisco on admitting to put this in further prospective we want to talk about two projects

that are not utilizing the local contractors or residential would it be fair to say 348 fist street out of town contractor not one residents working for that electrical contractor and dagget 4 hundred and 70 units out of out-of-towner not one local residents working that will not be the case at 1601 mariposa this project will a positive environmental and social impact on the neighborhood and urge you to approve it thanks. >> hi good afternoon my name is drew i live will a about a block away for 414 years directly off the street and

fortunate to buy a gun on 18 and arkansas i said to bring a little bit of a different prospective of a parent in the neighborhood a 4-year-old and 8-year-old girl grown on u up on the block but i'm a huge supporter of project i'm super excited about providing for housing i think that is an opportunity to actually add for density i guess i'm one of the group that thinks we should do our part to add harvey's housing it is walkable to consulate 15 minutes on a bike. >> wonderful place to add housing i don't think that is massive i think that is kind of a inactivated opportunity where it is not we don't have detriment of the height but get density so i think that is unique how it is

built both the hillside the shadows on the tension court not a big deal and frankly live oaks casts a beggar shadow on the playground that's okay. we need the density and housing i'll excited about activating the street along the block and dusk whether walking from the woods or park especially with my girls it is you're a little bit more cautious of the block that needs activity i was within a block of here robbed at gun point not a fun thing to go through and it is just is a - it is just a great way to bring in residents that can activate the street and complete our neighborhood

framing the park and make that safer we definitely needs more transportation by adding some more residents it helps at some point the 22 it is busy enough but pagd more recipe more transportation too i think that is it and just in short other neighbors that are excited not here working by there is a group of folks residents that are secreting hoping this get approved thank you. >> good afternoon and thank you for hearing us all commissioners i'm schizophrenia virginia head of live oak school

you can keep the attention for one year of your life you're all citizen turns you've heard under parents and educators that are compacting about the plays where they work and play and outline make decisions that impact our future in a rare window to take with care wisdom violation and courage i'm confident you've sure the health and safety of the residents of potrero hill with the right challenge you can insure our play and quality of life and design opportunities are that are raised here become a reality live oak has been talking about using this opportunity to be a - create a transformation benefit as part

of the development of the site we're not done yet and onsite community assessable reactional is an appropriate project for this size we're talking about a facility that will be about 95 hundred square feet on a health that is three hundred and 32 thousand square feet adjacent to an already well-used playground live oak has been planning this for 3 years here's a picture from 2013 of an idea a gym on the site until 2013 a gym on the site in 2014 and later in 2015 and finally from the summer of 2015 other rendering you'll

notice those are all been created in the collaboration between related david barker and live oaks school my challenge to you today are my hope for you today is a following please use your influence for the residents and students and residents future for potrero hill to renovate, upgrade jackson park and finish with live oak to add a marble benefit the recreational facility something that has been demonstrated over and over can be done for this neighborhood thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm sarah i'm a resident of potrero hill since 2008 and a

member of the potrero hill responsibly he live across the street from the project in the 18 and arkansas building when our building was built i think that was considered at that point the huge project in the neighborhood i'm not against growth at all but building strongly in responsibility of the keeping in the character of the neighborhood our building which is half the size of this building is 65 units sooeps to as opposed to the three hundred and 9 units for this building that is significant in size additionally in terms of cumulative impacts the eastern neighborhood plan doesn't account for the housing in the entire potrero hill and showcase square areas he building there is 4 thousand units planned

which exceeds the eastern neighborhood plan of about 31 hundred units and also significantly sooner than the plans laid outs the additional residents are not support by parks or transportation or the services by the eastern neighborhoods plan i believe there needs to be more pdr in this project to represent the character of the neighborhood potrero hill flourishes from the residential and manufacturing and very in this case to the neighborhood the neighbors really desire to keep the character of the hill and have that incorporated at 1601 the site of commercial space is important to keep in our city and foster diversity in

employment promote and manufacturing thank you. >> game-changer commissioners i'm deborah a planner speaking on behalf of live oaks school several of you talked about the importance of protecting the schools and draft eir commissioner moore said that in order for the city to remain attractive and support a littleable future for families schools our biggest asset meetings needs to be protected we appreciate the increased setback that the project sponsor has provided especially removing the balconies many remaining concerns i'd like to talk about the 4 that that protects live

oak parents and teachers the hazardous materials and construction noise, construction traffic and pedestrian safety and hope i agree the staff needs to be protected from the impacts from the hazardous materials during remediation rtc as the comments if feasible the sponsor will schedule a demolition and soil remediation during the summer of 2016 hour no measure is included in the approval or emotion monitoring program we request the planning commission add the following measures to the conditions project remediation activities shall be schedule when school is not in regular session if this can't be achieved the experience will

pick up the cost relocation during the phase of project in addition we've asked for related to provide weekly update on the activities so that the school and on the neighbors know what to anticipate this has not been added as a mitigation we request that such a measure be included in the conditions for approval all neighbors but particularly students trying to learn to be protected from heavy construction noise we request that a measure be added that demolition and grading the noisiest activities should take place during the summer when school is not in session the project will be under construction for two years we request the language be in the m m rp be revised to protect the students from construction and

the project sponsor be required to consult with live oak and others schools to come up with a management plan and the pedestrian safety you've heard from many 23 seven hundred plus added daily thank you, ma'am, your time is up. >> thank you. >> okay drew (calling names). >> i think you've heard from those speakers. >> i'm scott i have a handout here you've heard a lot important policy issues discussed i'm not going to elaborate but i want to address some nuts and bolts the

comments you've heard the comments in the eir stressed the needs for noisy and hazardous soil remediation occur when the school is not in session according to the eir those tests will last a month out of a 3 year construction schedule nothing in the measure address the need to do this when the kids are not around so we ask you add the following language i'll give you to the motion on page 33 that is specifically says the project sponsor will schedule the depiction and remediation activities can i have this on the ovld when the schools are reduced from the attendance of the regular school year the sponsor will pay for housing to have it at another location again, we're talking about one month that should be able to be

done in the summer we add the project sponsor provide the updates regarding weekly remediation tests this is not listed in your motion or your mitigation measures as present to you. >> the construction as i said is supposed to last two years the eir suggests not required coordination with live oak or the united studies they'll not dictate it but they'll ask you add this language at page 38 of our motion the project sponsor shall consult with live oaks school and the international school academy to develop a plan with an ongoing dialogue

finally to address the pedestrian issue there are a couple of things to be done to help to insure the safety of the neighborhood residents when it comes to pedestrians we ask this lack be added to require that the project sponsor will help fund and install a bulb out on mariposa and also install the visible flashing crosswalks leading if live okay to jackson park this is particularly necessary for the 23 hundred additional auto trips this project will bring thank you very much. >> okay. any other speakers? >> on this item. >> no? >> okay go ahead.

>> good afternoon my name is nationally the dean of live oaks school the lifetime by the way, residents the child of civil rights activists and very o.j.able in what a communities looks like and all i ask is that the developers make the same commitment to this potrero hill community that live oak made becoming partners with our neighbors in working towards a truly diverse and affordable communities they've made great strides in working with the neighbors but i challenge them and ask that more than 20 percent affordable housing be made available if you look at

the history of the potrero hill community folks that live there now that grew up are lifetime residents will not be able to afford to live there i ask the developers make that effort i've heard many statements of residents being happy with that project all of that is great who is going to be living there and how do we make sure that potrero hill residents can be there true city residents can live there live oaks school supports the community we ask that the developer do the same thank you. >> okay is there any additional public comment? >> hello commissioners andy blue from the plaza 167 good to see you again, i will echo the

comments you've heard 20 percent affordable is a lot better than 12 percent we know that is not nearly enough inform meet the affordable housing needs we know that developers should go higher than that anothers coalition is concerned with the severe loss of pdrs and what that means the loss of working-class jobs more affordable and we can't losses that amount of pdrs thank you. >> is there any additional public comment. >> okay i don't see any public comment is closed. >> commissioner moore. >> hi director ram i saw you push the bottom would you like to open. >> i'd like to thank the public for an equal prepared and atheist comments for or against

the totality who impressed me many of the comments resonate i'd like to speak about a few issues not specific concerns but what is of concern to me as a commission on this project the displacement of almost 65 thousand square feet of pdr without offering any in kind replacement within the district of concern we as a commission have not been able to formulate policy in this ongoing kicks it down the street and follow-up on one off the later speakers comments that is in direct portion to our ongoing search for tools to address the affordability and displacement pdr is an integral part that that and i've said this before

the park issue given indeed a notice about gentrification in the district and in the neighborhoods which are focused by this change a parking space radio is resembling what we do in market octavia with the would-be appropriate we indeed in a targeting way to improve public transit in the area those are only opinions i wanted to get them on paper what is and has been of concern indeed the absence of open space in my dir comments i spoke about what i building is the sign of jackson square playground the only program as given the fact it has a fence and given the fact that the star king program

which addresses after school that is not conducive to a positive learning environment children sitting on the floor in need of restrogs and rehabilitation we've having a problem with increased amount of open space in addition to what is there i think that the ideas about open space is breaking down, however, the over presence of escape is of concern i'll echo that the presence of more participatory onsite potential recreation facilities is the way of mitigating that those are only ideas need to be examined in detail i did not want to jump

both the good design but i want to say i believe that the there in indents from the security average unions to 89 units per acre is way within the range of managing good design i looked at the project last time and was in stockton and spent one half hour looking at the density that is higher here we are not used to density exceeding 90 to one hundred for the typography this project makes attempts to address the confusion about this and what this project as i'm

asked for large authorization is not doing it is not providing exceptional design and this is not because of david barker not knowing how to design he is one of the people at the cutting-edge of doing i believe this project as a agreeing zats 6 projects into one it is simply too big to dwlifr exceptional design by on architect the challenge of the comparison is indeed relooked at 650 indiana street a few months ago it was not as large as this one we have 3 architects comfort women commodity a place making good project this proximate cause will benefit from multiple

precipitating and the urban design as set primarily led by one landscape architect with that massive scale makes that difficult to create the variety and visible centers it is remnant of phil in a super large sites that was originally designated four areas and trying to make that in san francisco i'll leave it at that and commissioner richards. >> first of all, the staff about the eir we heard about the community talking about the eastern neighborhoodish environmental impact report more than it calls uh-huh calls for . >> would you like to respond to that. >> the eir. >> good afternoon,

commissioners sarah jacque's environmental review officers we've been tracking the amount of development that has been completed or under consideration in the various parts of eastern neighborhood and considering it against what the analysis was in the eir we are seeing residential development that is in terms of over pipeline is approaching some of the highest figures that that analyzed we looked at various combinations of uses and they're overall impacts in the eir i think that the we're intending for those 4 topic areas are plummeted by the projects of growth we'll in the future as

projected in the eir implemented in the analysis, however, not pertinent within the projections within the eir. >> great one question did the eir summary call for loss of pdr space that was in effect during the development. >> absolutely all of the scenarios that were analyzed in the eir had substantial number of pdrs loss assumed we called that out as a significant land use impact so this particular project as 1601 mariposa we recognized as transbay considerably to this significant impact from the ceqa impact that impact was imposed it didn't trigger any new consideration. >> i think one the interesting things and honestly every time

he say that public comment is incredible beneficial you've learned and discovered things that collect in our head one of the questions i can in the eir it looks like from a parking ratio point of view going from .5 inform nearly one which is nearly doubling that is what we're transbay to the issues around the significant impacts on traffic so the question i have is when you analysis an eir and ask for a ton percentage in parking or parking space but the one point zero if we took parking spaces down to the 1.4 will it reduce this to less than significance. >> our transportation analysis as we do it now and have done it for a decade and a half the seems like auto trips are

generated by uses not parking spaces so the amount of parking that is provided in terms of the academic analysis that's should open paper will not be affected by the reduction number of parking spaces however, we have doing a lot of work right now we'll be coming to the commission in the coming months to talk about the transportation demands work we're doing and working towards an ordinance and that work does reflect this is your assumption you're speaking again and backed up by a lot of work we've downey done that, in fact, reducing the parking spaces is a very strong way to reduce all trips. >> so it is intuitive active to me i know that the gentleman mrs. miguel and mr. rogers spoke

about that the eir documents this is a neighborhoods there is a lot of transportation, you could walk to the coffee shops to the safeway, etc., etc. it is counterintuitive this is contributing to the safety of the school and the transportation congestion issues. >> commissioners. >> i would want to add on quickly to sarah's point we looked at in terms of of the number of parking spaces is circulation and that was reviewed as part of eir we do look at you know how many cars per hour could be arriving on site during the peak periods there are improvements to reduce the associations with the parking garages so this was with the eir. >> i know someone in the back

hit me over the head he was thinking about that if we took the parking spaces down we'll provide a parking space on site and do some pdr space to balance it out but a amount of parking like the 200 x spaces i think that is probably more of a winner and it is probably something the community can wrap up with a wrap their heads around, sir comment on the outreach issues we've heard some of the neighborhood folks say they have been happy hazard please explain the members of the committee with the naeshd and what you took away so we can get a good sense if there was good outreach. >> we've been working on this for 3 and a half years

we probable had the most meetings by for with live oaks school adjacent stakeholders make sense we focused i think our most substantive meetings a lot of meetings along the way once the draft eir came out we were aware of the comments i mean, he as you can see we've gotten a widest range of comments some of them frankly go run counter to each other this is in numerous meetings we wanted to be able to sort through and ultimately we're responsible to making priorities and judgements bans that i've spent half of this week trying to resolve the parks improvements issue that was a clear message to us from everybody that the communities i think heard some comment that

the community space issue was a major appropriate but there he was skepticism working with the city rec and park department for example, will get you anywhere yeah, that takes forever we've made a lot of headway not offering $2 million but actually designed with a partner of one the live oak board members with the tennis court on top of to replace the existing tennis court you've heard a challenge of open space this is a multi purpose facility that will serve the whole community including live oak but not limited we had a construction budget how much it to would cost the answer three to $4 million phil ginsburg of rec and park said it is 6 okay 6 if we could get this is

privately printing privately fund because a couple of speakers brought this up if we could find a way to target names and addresses to the $2 million the $3 million we're required to pay in impact fees that facility is paid for by us i think there is other opportunities so i'm not sure how else to say yes, a wide variety of meetings if i can use the word half hazard we tried to address a whoo wide variety of feedback and make that all fit i think to a large decree we've been successful but we're prepared to do more i find it difficult to accept anyone saying we've been unable to meet i'm even though ceo i perching

over the past 4 months attended virtually every meeting we have a lot go on i made this a priority and one of the speakers said 95 hundred square feet you've heard this around the parking and putting that kind of money and using the $2 million to augment it will be cheaper to build. >> we looked at virginia showed you probably 3 different possibilities along the way you will note that the gym absorbs open space it is inside open space but not public space for everybody this is the most crucial the recommendation from the community we added the east west views to the project we actually also for a while look at putting the gym at the

entrance that will take away most of muse that become a practical problem that was physically doable but a practical problem. >> right it blocks some of the windows into live oak schools but somehow find what way but to pay for that the presumption is live oak raised the money to pay for it that's a lot of money. >> what is that a live oak or center. >> i think you'll agree the notation owned by live oak but made vertebral to the larger contingency so we instead focused because there was push back frankly at a planning department staff to block the muse with the gym we instead shifted our focus to jackson park and frankly until we raised the 2 millions i don't think it

took us that seriously oh, great who will pay for that that's 40 percent of the cost alone what was requested not for us to be the arresting take care of what gets done because so much destruction we took it a couple of steps forward. >> regarding the easements passageway i want you too open up like the redesigning last two pages one of the questions he have is the balcony issue you know they seem to make the east views for interesting and active what do you see front the school. >> as you saw from the design that, yes shows it showed balconies we have in response to the concerns expressed we've agents to remove them and i know

aggressively an amenity and a design feature. >> was it about the privacy of the students as i don't want to speak for them but people pier into the school. >> other question he have then we looked at a project that was done on one 50 van ness demolishing the building over the store a big at all building kind of december acceptable we heard a lot of issues around height and proposals and the timing of the demolition and erica i react to that. >> in terms of doing. >> construction at certain times. >> oh, oh yes, we take seriously the issues that they raise i've of they've been

talking about that for are sometime we have offered to schedule the demolition for renovation activities in the summer when the school was not in full-time session i'm not sure it is accurate to not say it is in session at all but the schedule permits for example, on the schedule we're currently on if we're to go forward we could do if not to the control of the schedule the other schedule we can handle is as chelsea are someone 0 mentioned assuming this was approved the, sir certified the d t s c skeleton did public hearing and they'll issue we have to get through a lot of discussions through the provided you know there wasn't a significant detail we can absolutely do that we've offered

that for sometime the other comment i think that correct me if i am wrong but to the issue of dropout that was the emotion the public safety issue we've increased the drop off by 35 feet. >> commissioner moore's comment i say i love wine he says he smell xyz i'm not an architect i defer to commissioner moore in terms of breaking up the massing once you suggested oh, i get what she's saying he met about you seems like it looked good all defer to commissioner moore regarding the in kind i'll dispense with that

and again, just i think in some density i think is okay i think if we took a little bit of parking maybe a pdr space more room here thank you. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i have you at the podium i might ask a question there were some language thwas proposed in regards to the conditions did you have a chance to review those. >> we looking at them the one thing as i said one of the conditions is project sponsor scheduled the emotion with the attendants of the nearby school not sure but that seems to have not quite sure what it means but

schooler like i said we've offered to do that as the time permits when the school is not in session i'm not sure i understand the attention by nearby schools. >> it's a little bit two word i didn't over the summer is when most of schools maybe schools that go 12 years but talking about live oak this can't be achieved the sponsor pays for the are temporary locations during the project i can't agree is that that is an open ended commenting commitment with no budget attached we will have to adhere to a very, very specific set of protocols for emotion this is where live oak was there or not because of the concern we've made the offer we've made

but roadway the sites as contaminated soil if we don't do anything that stays there contaminated i'm not sure i mean, i understand the gist of the request. >> most of demo can be scheduled over the summer months. >> under the current schedule is absolutely could. >> whether or not to extend the summer hazardous materials that will cover any project even when here on behalf of the appellant. >> we've police department;s to them there will be public hearings at d t s c to greatest specifics we have can't no discretion there. >> yeah. the other things while i have you they're talking about a bought and flashing lights and

crosswalks i assume that will be - >> actually, i have to study it i don't want to get in trouble i think the crosswalks with a good idea i think that is a good idea you know the bulb out i think that my architect said we already have one there. >> i think i saw that. >> i think the crosswalk is a good idea. >> the issue the parking space light the boubtsz we do but the flashing light crosswalks we'll have to work with dpw and other departments you can't prejudge what they'll do and is they'll use their best efforts but quaint acquire it. >> make that a find not a condition highly desirable and

work it out with the mta. >> that answered ms. most of my questions one other thing i think that their definitely was something i think i talked with susan earlier today about the possibility of eliminating some of the studios is that under consideration. >> we could i mean first of all, we absolutely will by adding the 10, 3 bedrooms within the same square footage we're refining the unit plans and probably i'm not sure loss some units but so we have certainly looking at that. >> so in his own 290 with the probability of a certain amount of studios will be eliminated. >> we're definitely looking at right now. >> thank you that answers police of my questions we want to make a few comments in terms

of the eir i appreciate ms. jones in the draft eir that was before us it gave us some numbers i would assume those are correct he better read them off in every project in the pipeline went forward you know there would be 85, w 9 units in the and were coastline showcase square and analyzed 5 thousand nine hundred units of everything went forward you'll be belief and 90 blow and no consideration it is oneelow and no consideration it is one of the first projects. >> i'm sorry i don't have the numbers in front of the me. >> it goes without saying a mute point and traffic in terms

of the eir the traffic study is complete and very good it talked about one intersection that had impacts are significant and not mitigated by u but that is something that can be worked on as we go forward i think that the eir part is i had a few more comments on the project first of all, you know i'm very - nevertheless of u n are m u some people spoke to the fact that every project needs pdrs but my understanding the u m u you want to promote the pdrs and housing and mixed urban use there is a lot of provided on uber and so i think that concept every project to have both uses not something not analyzed

sfierdz in the eastern neighborhoods and the other comment that was very important was that the present uses have been relocated within san francisco to 6000 third street which are the areas we want more pdrs lots of available space people with businesses that need to move products are much more interested in being in those areas their closer to the freeways and moving their product and lower rents and make sense to have the heavier pdrs use some of the smaller boutique pdr uses may be might fit by the way, that's my feeling and two and a half times the open space. >> i mind add some speakers providing more of the open space not a to be you know usable by the public i'll encourage that

to work with staff to replace some of the muse with the paved areas and the public can sit rather than the paved areas that are so heavy planned you can't go to those areas on the gym situation i'm very much encourage you to pursue the gym and jackson playground and the high school z did they have tennis courts and parking garages and put the courts up there the courts are there you're doubling the space and not pinal on the area but whatever to improve on the clubhouse at yaks that will be

good i think that was commissioner richards or commissioner moore spoke about the need for places for students after-school programs and other things we need to improve so those are some of the uses but i think that is realistic that many of the projects that are coming before us and potrero hill will have requirement to contribute to open space and contribute to recreational uses it is not impossible that some of the projects could be funds could be directed towards this project that will benefit not only live oak but all the people in the potrero hill such moscone and playground has a gym and others playgrounds have gives him that is a great idea on that part of the i have a few more things the balconies with gone it's good and while you're up, sir 35 feet i think between live

oak and your buildings is 35 feet sthashgs and erect and there were so the walkable is 25 feet either landscaping or something what is taking up that the square feet. >> patios. >> patios you'll see the 35 but pedestrians will see 25 feet. >> that's off the lower units. >> i'd like to comment on that again it is generally thoughts you like to activate public areas that have so-called eyes on the street at night time in particular when residents frankly might be walking through there i think it is a good idea to have not just. >> wall hence the proposal. >> i agree 100 percent there was one very good speaker in

favor the project and things it is spoke i didn't and talking about eyes on the street a passageway it is good people are on their patios r or visible pathways it is a lot savor this is very good and i had a couple of more comments in terms of construction many, many schools in san francisco and the example about the school project and the school on oak many schools have projects next to them or onsite and have to remediate the types of impacts and then on detailing i think as far as i'm concerned, i think some things on the tops of buildings may relieve in some

places to analysis emphasis the rooflines and again, this could be done with staff in the detailed today and also in terms of there was a suggestion that there is pdr use on the muse but most people that have any kind of products is not really practical to be dragging their product to get it to the street i'm very much in favor and i think that in terms of parking i think one thing that nobody was observing to was the amount of parking allowed any of the residents inn on potrero hill don't want the residents driving around trying to find parking on the hill one the complaints about the hill the logical one the transportation to downtown and other areas is i think adequate at this time you'll have a lot of people working in

their cars and virtual everyone that lives interest better if their parked than trying to look for parking on the hill and further clogging up the hill anyway those are my comments i'm very much in favor but a few things to be changed. >> commissioner hillis. >> so thanks everybody for coming and testifying i want to thank mr. miguel and others that put together the design i thought it was informative especially the presentation would be great at some point to have that discussion here i think sometimes the design gets bogged down with the height and massing and not the design the building but large buildings that are designed well and they have to come down to reducing

the size and a well-designed building in you'll different sizes i agree with some of my fellow commissioners the massing works in the neighborhoods i don't have an issue i applaud did developers for doing an a.d. 20 project we've not heard enough about that they're not asking for height and density but moving forward with a higher affordability a few questions for staff but the public passageway especially the north south passageway in our conditions of approval that remains open and public at southern times. >> wanders to the north-south alley it is subject to the code section which establishes the

performance standards so staff is in the plan check look at those boundaries design and performance standards that insures that will not leave that space unpaved and if he landscaped and maintained for the pedestrians and well light and so forth. >> how about the hours the passage ways not used by residents from people are 40 have balconies you may want to enclose them. >> they have to remain ungated and. >> open at all times. >> yes. that's the codes reference it. >> it has to remain open a good example was on the fulsome

project that one state hospital through the area not gated. >> that's only for the north south not the east west but require that on the east west and on on the north south. >> it is required to be pub assessable twenty-four hours a day. >> okay. >> that's great. >> a followup question on knocks have there been discussions about an in kind discussion with the project sponsor utility some of the fees for work on jackson playground or going out and building whatever improvements are agreed upon. >> yeah. the impact fees assessment in the staff report are the basic impact fees the concept of the park contribution is relatively a new proposal and has not been discussed nevertheless of that.

>> maybe i can ask the pardon any discussion about the cac level or everything else the it is outside of. >> the answer is there will be we haven't yet i mean technically this has to be approved by the neighborhood cac potrero hill has 4 staff 19 seats on this that is not screwdriver considered a slam dunk we're you been talking with the commissioners and community not frankly dwaus just for the gym but other things in jackson park the process that phil ginsburg hat outlined is helpful the community for the whole park in so funding for the phase one you'll implement not wait for everything to be done.

>> your comment about mr. ginsburg the cost will be higher $67 million a had an you can do it cheaper. >> it's true my understanding it if it were privately funded not have to glow the city's procurement processes but meet the city requirements that are required of any city sponsored or leased prompt but not through the procurement process he'll tell you farther and chamber. >> so i don't know as a condition to require or at least ask staff to work with the eastern neighborhoods cac or the developer and neighbors to potentially come back with an in kind all the time that addresses the parking improvements a first phase or pedestrian safety improvements to those

crosswalks. >> any kind of additional improvements like adding a gym a gym is a new use whether on the project sites or in jackson park is subject to the ceqa review so that - no commitment or approval of that can happy at this time. >> i was saying for that street. >> to mediate pedestrian safety issues it might not be a gym i don't know if a give him we certainly got that from live oaks but this is a new before the accident occurred i'd like a new give him in my school but part of jackson square improvements you know whatever comes out of new parade to phase it so some can be done through an in kind agreements we've seen successfully used before i will encourage that and definitely

work to try to take that on not required and come back. >> construction impacts on the school we've heard a lot about that from the some of the parents i guess we get your willingness to do this over the summer months i guess what happens if it doesn't happen scheduled are not what we anticipated them and can't get it done in the time. >> we have to adhere to the same protocols they've got to be deemed completely save regardless of what you do that i would hate to be in a situation where we had to defer construction for a year because we missed the summer or something we could do dismissing something we could do is look at off times not just school in

session over the summer or not in session every hour we could look at trying to focus on this off hours i have to look at this thing i'm not sure if possible. >> i want to add that the permitting premiums p there or are citizen terrors there are students at the site all year around u rounds because four of them they still needs to be protected the permitting presumed that the students are there are and adequately safeguarding them if they're there it is desirable to have a lessor effect but not a health and safety issue. >> okay. >> and then on the design issues that have been raised i'm kind of two minds we did hear during that presentation potrero hill kind of you know we try too much i think to make the

building look like they are different ones they're not and actually, the projects the one issue i'd take up there are two two different buildings and i think they maybe look too slaurng we talked about this at one point and you know don't you understand to be a little bit more industrial aesthetic and one more in the fitting in with the residential and the israel they're similar so, i mean the fact we have two buildings is guy on the more we can differentiate been those two buildings with the project sponsor to do two i'll encourage. >> commissioner wu. >> thanks. >> i also want to talk about the a.d. 20 project it is really

great the 20 percent affordable and 50 percent of ami we've lost the discussion of i am talking about affordability a single person at 50 percent makes $35,000 something a year if you make minimum wage and work full-time you don't make that much if either worked minimum wage and full-time i can't apply to live in avenue, i hope the affordable housing cries in context it is really great to have 60 units at that ami i want to ask also about the demolition and remediation i saw in the response to comments a number of plans that have to be written health and safety and emissions plan and soil additional management plan are 0 these are the city or they with

hespa they're with ct s c those are the plans that need final approval draft plans in place and reflected in the draft eir but they need to come back to planning and building and through t through the district 2 before they're the building permit are finalize and approved that's the requirement of the communication marie's measures they need to be approved but coming back to the implementing agency before the work can begin. >> we're not as familiar with that process i heard the gentleman say a paeshgz b.a. can you explain how did public has assess to the plan. >> i can you know we don't usually the department of public

health in the city deals with the plan but any project sponsor is choice they can work with the toxics and substance control the ct s c has a public outreach plan and engaged and done the community survey with the neighborhood i believe meetings with the neighborhood about the clear up plan and i believe they're going to have they'll have an outreach meeting with the neighbors but i could defer to the pardon who knows. >> that there will detail of what is going to occur. >> if project sponsor. >> i'm susan be we have a draft emotion plan on file with d t s we've working closely with

and the document is available now we've been meeting with them once the eir is certified they'll start their process with community outreach and thirty day period those documents will be created to the public and take public comment brainstorming the approval. >> that's helpful we've heard concerns the dealt get worked out in the plans lastly i wanted to just make a couple of comments about open space and concur with the fell commissioners looking at the landscape and the surface are all design is moving in the green direction and make p makes that more softer in the east west and north-south pathways we want to ask staff to continue to work with the project sponsor.

>> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much thank you to everyone that came out overseeing who were invited and most of hearing he was in the back watching all the public comment on tv so i was here he appreciate that project one thing that's not been mentioned as much today that project has begun to rearbitrations that brought it from boxes surrounding the live oaks school and the other buildings covering up what was formally a public right-of-way to something that integrates with the surroundings and will support jackson playground and really be great for the neighborhood i know are for the school i appreciate that the muse is there but frankly the public right-of-way they're looking at out the window to a

bus depot hole in the ground the project is a great improvement i know we've talked about a lot of things i won't repeat but with the construction mitigation i want mention one public commenter wanted changes to the final eir and just to note we obviously want to have the permit planning process that goes forward will look at the sensitive facts and circumstances in the neighborhood and fit that that? not the first time around the construction of the school we all have senior centers and other types of construction like that i'm not concerned the only thing that ceqa and require that you not have construction near the sensors that's not a change i i mean, i'll recommend for the

final eir a couple of final things though the public comment abruptly today and the e-mail we got from today and i think a great project the first one on the landscaping a little bit existed know there is a lot of hard escape but from the rendering and the design especially there is some landscaping working with the staff i want to make sure that there is more sort of areas of respite i know there is back and forth on wla whether a draft or how to make that greener no matter how you do that that is how you create more communities stay in the green but able to stop and not walk throwing with the beverages we know the muse is absent different with teaches open areas and the better street

plans i hope we see that one thing in public comment somehow over 3 hours of public comment i don't think was mentioned the suggestion of having the communities shuttles great idea but not on this project other projects in the vicinity and populations from all across i think that is something that needs to go through the mta certainly there are other neighborhoods in the shipyards that cancer community shiflt to have something in place while the transit matches that is not something that is needed to be a benefit solely on this project 1601 mariposa that comment did make its way to me and then

finally i definitely support of the suggestion by schifz but also commissioner richards and commissioner moore about directing the impact fees to jackson playgrounds or there about's through the cac process or otherwise there could be i think the cuisine will have to go to the cac so definitely looking at that process is the best; right? >> any of those approaches go the cac to recommend oozing how those fees are spent. >> yeah. >> an in kind agreement before the commission. >> i'll follow-up on the what commissioner hillis said as finding. >> we can get back to that and a quick follow-up question so

commissioner johnck's brought up the idea of parking and that you know we are getting close to a one-on-one ratio the two floors of enthrone parking has not changed even though it went to three hundred and 20 to three hundred and 99 a general the projects are only those units that are 3 bedroom or larger and over one thousand square feet subject to the one by one ratio. >> speak louder. >> the project is going to the 7.5 ratio only those units 2 bedroom or larger that are subject to the ratio being requested there are specific additional finding that staff is able to make given thees contraction of the site to accommodate the garages that did get the frontages this is a

special finding in the staff report so for your consideration. >> i'd like to ask the the project architect if you had noted gotten it flgd how would you have uses that space i'm challenged in terms of making a suggestion around how you can less than those o on the parking because of the space because of - we're losing a unit to get that parking or losing on amenity not that clear trade off here other than having less parking because of transit impacts or traffic impacts or other environmental impact or

so. >> thank you commissioner johnson. >> the parking as is .75 complies to the zoning controls as chris townsend mentioned it is for the units that are 2 bedroom a one-on-one 39 units the trade off in the parking garage that whole site the for the right of the site a parking lot we're able to without digging put a two serious pain and suffering assessable to two streets back into a thirty foot hope in the site we've wrapped that with unit so there is a trade off. >> how about others- >> other uses so i know obviously that is

ground space so above ground is a different conversation if you take out x numbers of space an opportunity to have morality or more pdr, or what have you other active use what are the options for that underground space if we realized that parking space ratio on a one by one square footage. >> currently bike parking in 3 different spaces throughout the project the bike parking area will be able to grow a little bit like you said all hemmed in to the a garage you slope down 5 feet it is not like you can put something there that is something that would be last week, a residential unit.

>> so i think in this case again, i agree with some of the someone said i forgot who wore starting to move to an era because of ability to have park this in and of itself therefore could increase traffic i agree with that but at the same time i'm looking at commissioner richards with a followup comment not sure what other positive benefit you get if there were other options i would support it but not creating space with nothing there rather than not having a car i love commissioner richards to jump in i know it is important to him otherwise supportive of the project one last thing i love the 8020

project it was great to see more minimum housing but larger units here. >> commissioner richards. >> great i'm jump on that the parking the excess parking on finding if i look at the parking garage behind the fitness studio is there a grade change to step down. >> it it's a two foot grade change under the parking garage to the muse and that is because the parking garage no digging the intention that you scrape the site as minimally as soon as possible and build on top top of that the muse a 2 foot drop the muse

is lower yards to the typography. >> two feet i see the gives him i go to and the handicaps they're not a lot of windows and lights not not our a good thing to have from the fitness studio that is bigger in the back. >> you will have to provide a ramp that was the way the concern with the school against the light and air with the school and with the neighborhood we've talked about loyalty with the windows and talking talked about that is no matter to every community meeting is the amount of parking that they have onsite. >> so it is counters intuitive to me the more parking the more cars the more traffic doesn't

make sense i think from the density ethnic and open space point of view your spot on from a design point of view interest is questions here the open space design well commissioner johnson and i are the two looking this thing for parking for someone else for emotion questions and the cross around the escrow for the $2 million and other things i look at this and say your 90 percent there just a little bit more time and a little bit more clarification will get this to custom by i can't so continue for to project until january 31st. >> i'll second that. >> commissioner antonini.

>> i'll speak against the continuance i certainly understand commissioner richards interest in having less parking on site but realistically the people that rents those units or you know especially those with families are going to have a car if you have a child you'll have a karaoke about the income level isle you've got to take the kid some place it is unrealistic not to have one by one parking for families we dropped the ratio slightly on some certificate smaller units like the studios not the worst thing i'm not sure a gym or imagine in the suck transparence space is of much use

you know - anyway i'm going to speak against the continuance it project has been around many, many things this is a small issue and i'm going to support it i think that is where it needs to be. >> commissioner richards says we talk out of both sides of our mouth we are a rich environment and this is absolutely like we are talk about out bossing of our mouth. >> sir, do you have a comment. >> just a couple of points of clarifications not seeking exception we're commented before exemptions they didn't include parking and if we had a emotion

in the summer of 2016 we scant do with with the eir certification there is a process we're committed to a continuance to january makes that impossible. >> commissioner hillis and yeah. i'm also against a continuance i think those issues we could address have the staff work on them and not getting more clari clarity but address through coming back with design and going back with design changes and approving the general project now as well as i mean i'd like to encourage the project sponsor to schedule demolition and the emotion

activities over the summer if that doesn't happen because of scheduling come back and report to us what the process and with the d t s c and the project measures onsite to comment on them. >> commissioner johnson. >> yeah. i can't support a continuance we're so close to there i agree with commissioner richards offender is sentiment on the parking i really let's say we decreased keeping the larger units by the one by one and decrease another to 25 is not clear how we will redesign the project they're not excavating to create more space i'm not sure how to change that i don't like open-end suggestions they could come back and bite us so the staff can

figure out i have to you know support as is and he building the developer should look at how the reuse frankly i don't believe that all the parking will be used so many believes in mission bay half the spaces are unused and those buildings are 100 percent full i don't know that the assumption that the car will be as of right now. >> commissioner richards. >> i'm happy to approve the eir and the project later with more clarity but certified the eir. >> second. >> second. >> your recess sending your motion. >> i'll make a motion to continue. >> over the certification and commissioner moore. >> i want to make sure if we do the motion as described in

the revised motion nonresponsive us does by language approve the project in sdierlt but we continue the design approval needs to be addressed i need the clarification i didn't write it but i want to make sure that inadvertently we're not you approving the project as exactly in front of us. >> the only motion right now to certify the environmental impact report. >> the challenge what is happening are valid ones and totals redesign requires a thoughtful exclamation because of the open space and the possible reduction in parking he building as we are reducing the

parking in direct comment to the commissioner johnson we're potential creating more building the cost of parking is huge and it is anybody's interest to provide spaces for parking if the space that is george being built cannot be used for other parking it is a financial burden and didn't pencil out including the architect if you're not deciding down for structure in close parking spaces and structures carry it are the buildings are expensive to build i'd like to find a reconsideration of the space if we can i'm not saying it is a must but thoughtfully reconsidered and a strong comment there needs be between the parks different languages i know that mr. bakers office is

capable of doing that. >> call the question on the eir. >> sure. >> on the motion to certify the environmental impact report commissioner antonini. >> commissioner hillis commissioner johnson. >> commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner wu and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes - oh, just - certifying the eir as corrected by staff. >> so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously. >> commissioner richards. >> we approve the eir to get clarity around other issues i move to continue the project approval to the next available commission not close but january 21st. >> second. >> on that motion to - shall i call that question.

>> mr. bell. >> another point of legal clarification it didn't continue but if you continue to the appeal period the board of supervisors will not hear this until april. >> sorry but the appeal period is after certification of the eir thirty days. >> i stands corrected i didn't know that. >> we're not slowing down the process on this correcting that. >> i mean, the commission could do it but slowing down the project if you deny the changes you'll talking about additional requirement review i just need to say it is not fair to say it is not slowing down the project. >> there's a motion that's been second to continue this to january 21st shall you call. >> commissioner antonini. >> no

commissioner hillis san francisco our commissioner richards commissioner wu no and commissioner president fong no. >> that motion fails 2 to 5. >> commissioner hillis. >> can i ask a question about parking i mean you've been kind of more familiar with the project and working with the communities parking didn't come up as an issue i don't know if somebody you rob a can talk about a discussion of parking and parking ratios. >> i guess you can address it. >> junior. >> my concern a code compliant parking ratio but i - so i'm

renewal it is difficult not a right answer for parking we believe that less parking generates less cars on the streets that is a strong concern and the view in our communities we're not well transit served and cars are a requirement we need a place to spore the cars we have not engaged in that question both sides are right we get the transit in place we'll not move away from the cars in the eastern neighborhood then we could more effectively advocate for the reduction of parking but now we're dealing with the ideal versus realty we trespassed lightly on that. >> i'll offer it, it is quite obvious that the parking will, served by the day and not

residents with the ideas of sharing those resources if our city right in front of us with the volunteer parents looking for parking for children not during the day commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i'll think no problem with the parking being used for other purposes as suggested by commissioner president fong especially that that may not be i'd like if, in fact, is not approved is entirely utilized but used for productive use for people that must drive to the area on a daily basis so that's another good reason to keep it where it is and converted to someone else we're allowing a maximum not saying you have to have this amount of parking. >> if i may there maybe an

issue with the parking being used you're getting would a situation of a parking garage triggers an issue with the school using it it does not become a typical use. >> under a private arrangement. >> city attorney 0 would you care could weigh in. >> they don't a approve agreement. >> there was a change to the requirements that supervisor wiener put forward a couple years ago that allows the use of residential parking i don't know if it applies in this case this is not a condition of approval they should talk to each other. >> maybe a logical idea it has to be operational. >> can i keep the floor i'd like to make a motion to adopt the ceqa finding that's our

second 0 motion. >> we've not done that part yet. >> that was not part of eir 3 straight things and the second is adopting the ceqa finding. >> is there a second. >> could we please finish the discussion before that we were talking about parking we want to make a puric comment about parking that - >> still make a motion to approve the item 7 a. >> i didn't hear it. >> second. >> second. >> thank you commissioner moore an parking. >> i want to speak about the difficulties with mick public and private parking calls for the developer no residential garage where residents are comfortable having an unknown amount of people enter a garage in the interests of residents to

have their own parking separate it from any other shared facilities that are condominiums and others new built buildings there is a discussion of where you place of car share this is a serious issue i'll not want to explores a requirements unless it is architecturally. >> this was not a proposed condition. >> i know that. >> commissioner hillis. >> so i was going to make a motion to approve the project item 7 b but with a following condition or amendments one on the condition that the 14 will schedule a remediation activities in the summer when the school population is lower

and if that's not schedule during that time of the year that the project sponsor will report back to us or the staff will report back to us on the outreach and approval that is done by the whatever that mitigations and the project sponsor will provide updates reflecting them in the vicinity regarding emotion activities and take the other suggestion point project sponsor shall consult with live oak schools with the mitigation plan i'd like to add that we encourage staff work with the project sponsor and neighbors sfmta and the rec and park department on potential in

kind agreement to make improvements to jackson square and any pedestrian improvements on the intersections around live oak school and that also the staff report back to us on design changes and continue to work with the developer specifically to further differentiate between the two separate buildings and add additional mr. sanchez and green space to the open space. >> second. >> commissioner hillis can i clarify you included it in the e-mail outreach if there's a new new contact or liaison. >> yeah. >> that's the standard. >> wanted to make sure and whatever pedestrian safety during construction. >> i just want to clarify the part of rtc process we made the

amendments for that the construction plan and there is requirements that they outreach with live oak and all the other schools as part of development of the construction plan. >> okay. thank you. >> so there's a motion and second. >> eerie apologize i don't write that fast after the in kind agreement. >> about design that staff continue to work with the project sponsor on the design of the project. >> i believe it is in the cu. >> kind of with the specific you know specific issues around furthers differentiate between the east and west building on the project as well as additional green space in the public passageway. >> staff recommended a slight change that recognizes the design guidelines put

forwarding. >> commissioner moore. >> i want to make a comment to the commission and public i want to acknowledge the architect to this package addresses at complete information about the use of project and how it depicts i want to hold this up this is a very, very good example this is a minimum of this commission as well the public needs to understand the project. >> commissioner richards. >> i want to amend the motion the staff wants to elevate the interim controls to a cu before i take them up think that. >> it is not a recommendation. >> i thought small business said - no okay. >> commissioner antonini. >> in terms of the my second to the motion for 7 b did we or did we not include the

$2 million contribution to sf rec and park to be held no escrow can quay do that we can't do that. >> a couple of points of clarification that above and beyond so to clarify on the impact fees the impact fees and they're in the neighborhood plans specified with several uses one can't use transit impact fees for parks the only in kind is the open space indexing i don't know what that number but the only kind to use to do this. >> mentioning we're hearing it as a findings. >> they've made that offer and commission i don't think to be flip antd or antd but accident

curriculums be adopted we're proposing i recognize that the staff recognizes and uses them in the final design of the building. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further there are 2 separate motions that have been second the first is to adopt the ceqa as adopted by staff correct shall i call them separately on the first 0 motion august commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner wu commissioner wong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero and the second being the large project authorization the motion to approve this matter with conditions as amended by commissioner hillis that the

sponsor is encouraged to perform mitigation during off school hours and if not able to perform to return to the commission with an update second to provide weekly updates to anyone requesting as much regarding the emotion activities, third to consult with live oak school for the construction mitigation of plan and fourth to pursue an in kind agreement with rec and park and dpw on jackson park and pedestrian safety mitigation measures and improvements and fist the sponsor shall work with the staff on designs specifically to differentiate within between the east and west building with the open space did i capture everything. >> yes. >> the design guidelines. >> and recognize the skyline

guidelines. >> just one clarification i believe we were talking about a construction transportation plan as well as to all construction. >> construction and is transportation. >> construction and transportation plan during construction. >> commissioner antonini. >> it is understood that is motion complained what is before us the one area, no it in the paperwork there will, 23 bedroom units and he assuming that is what the being approved. >> it says 10 in the paper. >> commissioner moore. >> i would like clarification on the scion of additional of green space not as much addition because the project provided it but a rendering of green space with hard escape i want to be

precise. >> yes. >> can you clarify that in the motion. >> so that will be the design of landscaping sooeps. >> the balance between hard and soft scape. >> commissioner wu. >> so to commissioner antonini's question i think that the project in front of us recognizing recognizes 10 bedrooms and the question is from the pardon talked about 23 bedrooms i understand there is maybe an environmental issue not approve that that way today. >> in terms of converting 10 of the proposed unit from liens 3 bedrooms to 3 bedrooms any additional environmental impact of that if their units under 2

bedrooms being converted will be extremely minimum and our environmental analysis covered a large project that would be well within the issue. >> commissioner johnson. >> real quick i don't know we can have a finding that will be recent change to the project so not contrary clear how they'll go from one to 20 not clear of how 10 to 20 they will do. >> so commissioner johnson i'll clarify under 2 bedroom units not convert any 210 east to 3 only studios or ones. >> do we have a final unit. >> we're still refinancing the plans to side that lined we

might lose a few units but certain not gaining any. >> we want to add as a finding the developers agree to again from 2 to 3 bedrooms. >> okay. >> as a findings excellent. >> so the maker of the motion is okay with having a finding. >> yeah. >> second or two. >> so that will recognizing 10 to 23, 2 bedroom units. >> from 10:00 to 3:00 bedrooms to 23 bedroom units.

>> okay. let's try it again. >> there's a motion that has been seconded to approve the large authorization as amended that included did sponsor is encouraged to perform with the construction off school hours not able to return to the commission with an update to provide weekly updates and ask and agree culpability with live oak for the transportation mitigation plan fourth pursuant in in kind with the jackson park and safety mitigation and or improvements and daecht between the east and west buildings and providing a better soft verse hard scape including a finding the project is 10 to 23 bedroom

units with the final. >> very good commissioners commissioner antonini mr. ferris commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner wu commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero. >> okay commissioners is going to take a break thank you. >> game-changer and welcome back to the sprags regular hearing for thursday, november 12, november 12, any kind. and when speaking before the commission, if you care to, do state your name for the record. for the benefit of public in case i missed in item 8 the extra public has been continued

until january '58 and x at 22 and pennsylvania avenue the large project authorization has been continued until december 23rd did i say january 2016 commissioners, we left off commissioners, that places you under your on item 9 for case the candle stick presentation. >> i'm ed schneider on behalf of the blap for this department this information presentation is provided to you as a lead both amendments to the projects design for developments document which is essentially acts as is planning code for the hunters point and candle stick project the project sponsor for lennar i'll be providing the bulk the

presentation, however, before she begins to quickly go over planning role those are the earnings role united states of america candle stick point a hunters point are the actually redevelopment and appendixes and their commission as this assessor agency to the redevelopment agency residences the approval for aspects of projects therefore the project approvals happen with ocii and not necessarily are planning planning has a role when the documents that guides the development last week the overall plans or the design for development documents those amendments those documents do need your approval as well as noted in the memo as part of packet the initially phase of construction at candle stick point are part of review and looking at amendment to the dine

for development or d-4-d approvals for the amendments for a person the dordz on the advanced calendar and this provides a board overall and more specific about candle stick and the dordz both 0 drew and willing will i from ocii staff and me to answer any questions but again, i'm let lennar from lennar provide the bulk of the presentation thank you very much. >> thank you very much matt commissioner president fong and commissioners i'm terry i'm the director of planning for lennar your honor, i'm here 0 for two reasons to provide a project overview we were approved approved in 2010 not back to the planning commission but to give

you an update of the progress and as said want to talk about you can to but about the design for development document the first one to note we feel quite fortunate to be a part of major redevelopment project in southeast san francisco one of the last major landholding in the city we have honored to be working with you on this site the shipyard is really commodity of two projects that phase one project a d-4-d was provided in the 0 and approved in 2005 and then major phase two when which which is the sub of today's meeting we have a motion and a second we'll be talking about all of the development options if phase two and more specifically about the design

for development amendments you know as i mentioned the phase one is the first part of development under construction and actually we're quite pleased to be able to report the first one hundred horns that will be moving in before the end of the year and phase two is comprised of candle stick point and the shipyard currently under remediation it includes 10 thousand 5 hundred homes and r and d over and over 25 acres of parkland and upped wards of regional and local surveying retail the affordable housing component of our project includes

affordable housing for those who have average medium income from zero percent to one and 60 percent you should know our agreement per dine is 32 percent of our all of our overall project is affordable housing i do want to note in the first major phase of development on candle stick point it is actually going to be 45 percent of all housing will be within the rake of affordability and that includes the two-hundred hundred and 56 at alice griffith and agency homes in the inclusionary housing. >> local hire we're working diligently to insure that we work towards your 50 percent local hire goals currently at 42 percent and continue to strive

to do even more. >> now candle stick point major phase one let's focus on, on this element of the project at candle stick point there are over 2 thousand homes as part of this project 6 hundred and 45 thousand square feet of regional retail about one and 83 square feet of local serving retail and a number of communities benefits basz as much as the international marketplace and in addition, we have proposed a hotel 200 and 20 rooms for a hotel and the fillmore arts center. >> the transportation network is going to include a very robust extension of both existing transit provided by mta

as well as brand new transit features for example, we have a bus rapid transit that will be connecting the project to locations as much as the caltrans and balboa park and have express shuttle from downtown to candle stick point as well as hunters point shipyard and back again we looking a water taxi we're looking at all kinds of opportunities and which to provide transit service to the new residents as well as benefit the existing neighborhood even though existing residents that are there currently. >> i think matt mentioned the very first project as part of our first phase on candle stick point is a sfoep called alice griffith and that is currently under construction right now it

was approved in 2014 and we anticipate that the first residents from alice griffith will be moving ♪ one year in fall of 2016 and the next phases of development are called 2, 3, 4 there this includes the major reality we're gaemgdz in a joint venture with the partners you may be familiar they've done work along the creek the third street and santa monica at the brink a know how expertise to the project to create it outlet to san francisco on both sides of street projects regional of the regional retail is neighborhood serve retail and

we are going to do include housing above the neighborhoods serve retail i nodded earlier, too, we proposed to include a hotel and then residents above the regional serving and tower in addition. >> the retail center itself is really going to provide a wide range of retail options and pricing points so this is going to be something that everyone in the community can, in fact, take an opportunity to taking take advantage of we are working hard to insure there is very good connections to the existing neighborhoods that is a point of view from 9th street it expends to candle stick point desperately e south

but you get a really strong urban feel and that's what we want to create president an extension of existing city of san francisco and therefore you have the kinds of uses you expect to find in any true urban environment another connection we have a rather graceful i think sale that will be connecting boyfriend if james down area in the european bayview to the regional retail center it provides a connection for those who who are coming from the hotel doing shopping and residents that had been thinking living living in the residential tower proposed. >> and as i noticed england son

we want a authentic san francisco kind of environment we'll have local neighborhood retail along england son with residents above we will be seeking out some businesses from the bayview to locate and consider second locations in this neighborhood and so we expect it to be truly representative of not only san francisco itself but more drinkly the boyfriend now i'll address the design for development refinement coming forward to you on december 3rd for approval and i'd like to run through some of those right now the first is refinements needing to be made

the references to the stadium 49ers have left he remove outline references to the project and so this is one of the simple cleans up we're doing and in addition including some update to block dimensions as well as street dimensions we'll recall from january to june in 2014 we had an interdepartmental long discussion about street width and those that both serve the emergency vehicles assess and in addition toe retain neighborhood character with narrow streets wanted to do that so in the course of those negotiations with the fire department the department of public works, the planning department as well as mta we came to some conclusions about those 3 should look like and those adjustments need to be included in the design for

development we've duplicate updates to the signage hoping for a nuance approach to signage so when we want to identify a building of this distinction character we're able to do that and at the same time, we're wanting to is her that this is the kind of signage that is also much more acceptable and consistent with what is san francisco. >> boundary i'll talk about that if a minute we've increased some block dense and the boundary c p four are alternated according and have proposed a relocation of the tower that is currently at c p center and the last thing we want to propose some height increases for the mixed use along ervin son currently the

heeding is at 65 feet and we'll be proposing to feet so along this and this is true for englaingerson where we have retail board to ceiling we very much want to increase that to 20 feet many retailers and especially restaurant turns need a higher ceiling to floor height so we've asking that it from 1 to 20 feet the other reason we're looking to increase the height along ervin son we want

to provide architecture in terms of rather than a flat horizon of buildings along the street marching along at 65 feet want to provide some interesting egg articulation on this street where you have some of the buildings maybe at 80 feet others at 65 feet each of them b.c. being uniquely different thus give to the appearance this is a neighborhood that viflz over time. >> this exhibit shows you what the difference in 65 to feet how, how that indicates dash lines up another eight feet this is what that represents simply an increase in height right at corner of carney and

ingerson a new center about a center we want it to be an opportunity to not only show films in the traditionally way but to also serve as a determination place a place you can have film festivals and speaker series where you can hold special events for that reason we're looking to distinct this building and create a greater stature so is it so identified as being approved in 2010 for 85 feet we want to ask you to allow that up to as high as one hundred and 20 feet. >> the proposed towers i mentioned that we had proposed

to increase some of the block depths those blocks along kearney those were designed to be quite narrow we anticipated behind them there is an additional type of service for neighborhoods serving retail since then taken a look at the design for those blocks and thought that we would like to go integrate a greater mixed use in the housing and in order to do that we had to increase the depth and in fact, by doing so in those blocks it makes them in size to the immediate blocks behind them because we have two towers that were located in those blocks areas the location needed to shift along with the boundary so those two of the tower locations are proposed to

shift along with the boundary approximately, one feet there is one other tower relocation were proposing in the graphic there is identified tower zone right in the center of the retail project and what we're doing is we're proposing to move that tower away from the center and off to the edge of the retail project the reason for doing that is two-fold one is that as we work on this project we develop a dine for parking garage that puts a primer amount of parking underneath the retail center so we end up having a park along the backside but built into the old stadium in addition, we have parking underneath the retail

center and pro relocating a tower with the parking garage was proving to say problematic for us so and the other thing we need to consider the tower is part of project we'll probably engage another developer to build so if a timing prospective we needed to separate it from the center of the project too we're going to be undertaking the project and within the next year so therefore we needed to separate the tower both for structural reasons and timing reasons and it so you would i'm about out of times quickly show you the differences in viciously from 2010 tower shift in 2015 this is what you'll see. >> and here's another point of

view this was taken specifically from stat parks this shows the tower as it was located in the center of this what it looks like in 2010 and then as we move it to the outer edge of the retail center and in addition to moving to the outer edge at the back it is at a higher elevation too. >> thank you. >> and thank you. >> very, very much. >> the commission - >> please. we'll take public comment and then. >> of course thank you. >> okay open up for public comment reverend walker and linda. >> hello commissioners

tests very hard to sit here and not get extremely excited when my name is called (laughter). >> several times and really wanted to say in the documents about the 2011 when the mayor was mayor my name is i amusing newsom i spent about the last 15 or 20 years in relationship 0 this project. >> and the pastor at 950 in all around me this development the 5 hundred and 4 units of housing that alice griffith and alice griffith is going my next door neighbor and i walked the park 4

days a week and a lot of i walk will i her can't keep up with me i watched the demolition of the park now the growth and all that that one other point about the employment i'm in contact are the person in charge the office of economic workforce development in that area and the general contractor and i talked with him last week and he said from the alice griffith projects and bayview they have employed around 48 young men that had no direction i work with them and recommend people to him and definitely would encourage the

approval that this design process so we can continue moving in the area of making that a reality there and there's excitement is all over the place and one of the last points i shouldn't say last in talking about with sophie maxwell at this point and mayor amusing i said this project will be an economical development that impacts the poverty and all those things happening so that is happening it is reilly exciting thank you very much. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. commissions i'm lynda former planning commission here

representing the bayview hunters point community and basically to tell you how excited we sat through the presentations it was very nice to listen to the comments and you guys and ladies were entrusted look at the statistics for the shipyard this is your flagship project for the entire san francisco even in history you have 325 acres of parks and open space let me repeat 200 and 25 if you look at the development to the parks alone the majority of land is dedicated to open space when you coming here i think we want you to educate help us to educate the public this is your work you're not just out here for alone projects but offsetting the public space and the open space and parks that the city

requires your different them that's what you're doing here let's look at i was on the planning commission and we know there message has changed over the last 20 years so we what we have in the shipyards the entire west coast of san francisco we're diverting and take advantage the opportunities moving to the shipyard to the tower and the increase in the bulk and height is basically to accumulate things from downtown transportation why would you go to downtown now, when you're going to be having a whole retail of one something stores in the candle stick point to say should basically iowa we are doing here not only is this project revisiting the economy of san francisco but you look at the job statistics and the

projects in san francisco can't match that and the commissioner antonini talked about and said i will approve this project if you donna could do that i could go on and on this project is not only for phil it is exceeding it's obligations and it's a flagship project we want to talk about and help the young people inform to go and buy homes because your building that we'll be back again, thank you all for your time. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> this was miss managed for empowers. >> f and if you build it i would like you to put something in your clause it is scombabl of

managing the people didn't have light or heat or community that was split up by the leaders and i would like to see this done properly for the african-american community predominantly was if alice griffith the others you have good ideas i'm going to support it but i just want to keep talking about this words of affordable housing what is affordable housing? >> can the people in the bayview have incomes from one hundred to one hundred $50 and places left for people that can't afford affordable housing thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners and it is always good to see commissioner johnson who used to

be a form member of the advisory committee from the shipyards we love it when our young people move on to on to do the things i'm dr. honeycutt and presents with me earlier was ali nixon and the thoughts of advisory committee to all of you, we want you to continue to support the very fine work that lennar did in the past and doing now we want you to know we're in support of information they shared with you and by way of it you don't understand about our advisory committee process i know you do you'll know that all of this information is shared with us through our seems to me and adjoin meeting over at the community room with the southeast facility commission and you know we are not a lame

duck citizens advisory committee we ask questions about things including the design the building okay. we too don't want to see something built in the shipyard an area that los angeles wished for over 20 years and by way of i want to digress some of the members on the shipyard have been there for 20 years we stay on it we have been pleased that when we shared our input with lennar and shared our suggestions they have headed our advise and come back with recommendations and made modifications and changes and i want you to know we feel that lennar has done much more than any develops in federal, state, and local or the desire state what you look at what the they've done for the community

the community built the programs and the inbart and the home buyer programs just the tip of the iceberg and in addition the big community benefit funds that appear in the form of the ic and the opportunities for the community to really make a difference for those residents who are still there and those individuals who are yet to come so in terms of of the c p project i know i'm running out of time what is not to like about that project a retail center and theatre and professionalism art center and have towers and you've got a company committed to affordable housing okay so, please folks support what they're doing thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> is there any additional

public comment? >> public comment is closed. >> commissioner antonini. >> this is a wonderful project not only combining all the things that are mentioned it was nice to hear a large art community and pdr presence out there this is a place that is very appropriate those uses should be housing and remain in san francisco so this is a very good is it take a little bit of pain from viewing the pictures without candle stick point there anymore this is sad i have not driven out there it is too sad i'm going out there now there are wonderful things replacing the park a couple of questions i have the first question for the lennar representative i asked to speak i'm not sure it was answered completely in prop g

the voters the bond measure pass by the voters in the late voters there is no stadium so how is that money going to be use or lennar going to fulfill it's obligations under prop g. >> we have obligations f anticipated a stadium but that does without the stadium to give you comfortable it accuracy an especially incident toward other program elements and the development itself

and now is of no rehab the treasurers of building for better use. >> thank you just as we go along to see something that links that and how it is being used because that was an important feature for the tuesday so much and the other thing i see you've got that plus rapid transit going longer than kearny and turn on to the walker and go across the bridge to yosemite and at the hunters point area and proceeded to anderson and returning back to third so you know i don't know if you've considered any kind of a light rail rather than rapid transit you've got the t line and it means people have to get

off of that and transfer on to a bus and the other they know we've discussed it is still being thought about give me bart running 11 along geneva and connect up with kearny that is for the t line is a dead-ends the transcripts is have to make a circle to get bark 80 back to other parts of system. >> i appreciate that commissioner antonini and in fact, a light rail readiness was an important design component of the project and mta has sort of pass in the past months they don't anticipate in the capital improvement plan to be able to provide light rail and any

especially coming from the northern direction because you, your trying to get out to the shipyard and hunters point and the t line can have a branch off of that down cargo or one of the streets that brings you into hunters point with or without south and go north again. >> so that is a suggestion. >> well, thank you thank you. >> the other thing i'm not clear one of the things we've passed not allowing any cars across the bridge on yosemite. >> the bridge across the yosemite only for at the time of trial and pedestrians and bicyclists. >> okay. well, i hope we have a good connection for drivers it get from north toe south and we'll see where that is and financing e finally an extension of considering new means west it

is actually to the northeast but (laughter). >> thank you. >> good for you. >> nice project. >> i appreciate that. >> thank you commissioner johnson. >> commissioner antonini is as picky as i am so that is fantastic you you know way too much do into going into in the happy year for me, i spent 10 empowers on the project that's a really long time and really great i won't dr. honeycutt did a great summary i think the one thing to sum it up without detail this project hit the nail on the head we have a struggle with housing and transit and

significantly and height and density and community benefits those things come together and i want to commend both the city and the developer for making things happen an emit tidbits i caught into the fact that you'll have the first people moving into alice griffith in the fall of 2016 was a huge accomplishment a few years ago people are ringing their hair and hands if we didn't have a certificate of occupancy the funding would go away and a problem getting alice griffith done it is great to see at&t a real testament to the city and lennar so, so aim excited to see the rest of that and really

quickly on just a d-4-d i you know all the changes a lot of great the actual approval available december 3rd so we'll be seeing then and i am well versus on the over of the i'm looking forward to the increase on heights on kerry way that is awesome in schematics a lot of work has done and how the things look for a proximate cause project of this scale so very, very supportive and happy to see commissioner richards and dr. honeycutt great to see everyone

here and thanks for handing out. >> commissioner moore. >> commissioner antonini and myself sat through many, many meetings that great plan and there were worked a lot it was redevelopment unfortunately, the deciphers with a well-thought-out plan so this this is a way of looking it today, the question i'll raise and hope to get more clarity by december meeting is the street issue came was discussed on more than two years ago and it raised quite a while concerns from this commission in order to be san francisco neighborhood the commission at large believed

that the streets street width need to be keeping in traditional san francisco and the director strongly sponsored that i hope the streets that were widen were the to fair at streets rather than those that create the character in the neighborhood i'd like to skip forward if you can see these are the rendering by which this project was concerned i spoke bloifrpt in germany was practicing the tower location was an extremely important issue bus the overall plan this was a strong point supported by lennar

those two neighborhoods ultimately needs to be fit into the unfolding of san francisco which means that any tower in any location particularly those at all towers relative to zero height site will have to blend with the long view particularly when our coming from the south we don't want to see one of the things we want to see the city above as you're looking further for the north actually, the northeast in the forefront i want to make sure the pushing of those two towers at the phase don't interfere with that idea i'd like to see a render similar to by which which project was approved all show you so we can truly see the bigger idea of heights on question and one of the suggestions the other thing

i'd like to ask the film art center as building is something i'm not familiar with when i think about art centers i think about gathering the larger footprint rather than something that only expresses itself as a tower we're talking about one 20 foot building i'd like to know that is not solely as a office building but indeed creates the types of activity on the ground floor by which a tower is justified the next thing i'll ask the tower is not a square but indeed gracious fully shapes the tower around the guidelines by which we video sfern in other parts of city not just a refrigerator as we used to call it a few decades ago those are

suggestions i'll appreciate those concerns would be further explained before an approval i'm not sure if i'm asking two of are you still work with the same group that oriented the master plan. >> that's a group out of canada and very much rise to the occasion a way of creating a forward-looking vision that was also augmented by local architects and local design that is an affirmative yes. >> just to clarify different architects doing different building but the master plan architect is yes. >> the other architecture architects with local architects we know quite a few of the them

a massive plan was driven by a canada firmer they were responsible for the issues. >> right. >> commissioner richards. >> a couple of firs this is a long this project it is certainly the biggest a person had a street named after him congratulations mr. walker. >> mr. richardson and dr. honeycutt your enough of thcomb commissioner johnson hit the nail on the head we created a whole community i'd like the money for the preservation and it is for the money up to one hundred thousand dollars i have a question if i

take the t line over the the retail of the one 70 stores he opened my icy came in at atlanta or battling are phoenix what kind of retail controls are there in this area would it there is a sense i know you'll have small businesses but any formula retail balance or a big mall. >> actually we're working hard to insure that is it didn't look like a big mall we've been talking about retail and the facades of building we want them to have the characteristic san francisco favor we've been looking at nice architecture here in san francisco and will be encouraging people to adopt some of the architecture and as i say it is it's going to be a

very interesting mix of uses i think a very strong candidates of uses. >> you've hit the nail on the head like it didn't tip over i think a good complimentary of retail it would be great and this will be a good example of what that looks like and commissioner moore's about the concern the towers we'll get it right let's get it right with great designs i'm excited. >> thank you. >> for the community. >> director ram. >> thanks i wanted to thank everyone and reminded the commissioners we did this as pointed out you have not seen the project and the action in december in the scheme of things modest changes for d-4-d on a action you're required to take

so you'll have the information in advance we'll follow-up with some of the requests made by commissioner moore in terms of the renderings and the massing on the film center if there is imagine the commission wanted to see we'll get that to you. >> thank you to the pardon and public for coming out today. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further we can move on to item 11 for case this is a conditional use authorization. >> good evening, commissioners

with an with the planning department staff so the until the time you is a request for a conditional use authorization to allow increased residential density on laguna street the subject is within the rto at the corner of oak and laguna the project sponsor proposed to convert 6 garages into two transmittals in the 9 unit residential building the rto doesn't limit the density instead of is limit by the buildings ability and open space pare the project sponsor does not propose an expansion of the building and a new roof deck for the required space has been approved by the planning department they've innovate received any public comment regarding the property project projecting and overall the

proposed use 20th century is appropriate it meets the building permit and the nature of the rto zoning district and consistent with the area plans that concludes my presentation. i'm available to answer any questions thank you. >> thank you project sponsor please. >> good evening. i'm serena the project architect just to echo what wayne said a simple sfraurd or straightforward we underlined filed in february months before the soft story legislation by and large it is a 9 unit building even e over the scents of the r t association district that permits a one to 6

hundred ratio and the current density is one to two 50 in the planning code we're permitted to go to two hundred that allows us to 11 units as wayne said an rto district on the corner of oak street and laguna right next to market street, hayes valley and van ness corridor and our proposal to remove the 6 garages onto laguna with w on-street parking number one, the residents are renting the parking space and with an is rent-controlled unit by an objective they're moving out with the retrofit are you that's

it look forward. >> opening it up for public comment any any public comment? >> not seeing any. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. it sounds like a good project my question was already answers omni bus soft story work being done to make that save a moment frame and whatever else to bridge the gap where the garage spaces. >> correct new footings and frames under construction right now. >> very good i think this is fine i'm supportive move to approve. >> second. >> commissioner moore. >> just basically supporting it has an interesting forward-looking idea removing the density cap in areas that are transit rich and in the middle actively this is a great way of combining it with soft story retrofit and creating

liveable units which is rooms including bedrooms is good the facade modifications are actually appealing removing the cuts is even better so there we go. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further there's a motion that's been second to approve that with conditions commissioner antonini commissioner moore commissioner wu and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes 4 to zero. >> commissioners that places us on items 12 ab at 1805 buchanan street you'll consider the conditional use authorization the zoning administrator will request for

variance. >> good afternoon alexander planning department staff the item before you is request for a conditional use authorization for new construction workplace the chinatown special use in the rh3 zoning the proposed project is a 4 story residential building with 3 stories of residential underground parking this is located about the sub grade vicinity on sutter street the proposed building features 4, 2 bedroom units and a totals of 7 thousand seven hundred square feet of residents space the structure will be 9 thousand plus in area and 40 feet in height the proposal is 5 off-street parking and 7 bike parking spaces the proposal requires the rear yard and permitted construction permitted rather than providing the riders 17 thousand plus rear yard it

has a rear yard 11 square feet busing plus with the west property line and additionally the bay window is the design retail by the residential design team those two will be heard after the commission hears the conditional use authorization the department has no public comment as proposed the department recommend approval with the recommendations as it compiles with the adjoin theme that concludes my presentation. i'm available to answer any questions. >> thank you. >> good evening, commissioners melinda with reuben, junius & rose i'm here above the project

sponsors i have with me engel the project architects i'm going to turn it over to the architect compatible with the conditional use authorization that is a concrete patio sits blow street level on cannon street with the monitor of the current conditions this is the site as is to the north on buchanan a 8 unit residential building and a portion of hotel parking garage is located beneath the site that is subdivided to create a parcel

the project will construct a 4 story residential building and will include the park on the firefighter with the upper levels reaching a maximum of 40 feet i'll put up a render that shows the context with the neighboring property the project is creating 6 new dwelling units with 4 and 2 one bedroom units good-sized units from leveling hundred square feet to three hundred square feet it excludes a elevator for occupants the garage about say house 5 parking spaces and biking spaced the project p will steady the code requirements i want to note we've spoken with

the chinatown's task force and sunlight we plan to pressure to extend the tree planters at the front of the areas as port streetscape we're excited about hopefully to provide greenery in front of the project we're here for the kwufshgs for a use in the chinatown sud and requesting and varies for the rear yard to the area and a variance from the permitted bring your attention for the bay windows and now i'm going to turn it over to our project architect to walk you through to the chinatown sud. >> good evening, commissioners

i'm with the architect the project architect for the project i am pretty excited to be here tonight and introduce what i think of ann an urban in fill we don't have this opportunities in chinatown and the specific heights really the design the project is the context of the japantown special use district pealed to the south we have an 8 story hotel that is building from the 1990s in the concrete with some allusions to asian influence across the street is traditionally vic tarnlz two and three levels one and two units to the north of this building a large non-during which unit

building so we felt that there was an opportunity to take some liability liberty in the design of building and max make that conceptually i want to talk about the bay windows that we oh, if you look at the monitor you'll see the rendering we like to tweak the traditional san francisco bay slightly and grouped the bay to the hotel and they've extend upwards past the 40 feet height limit that is an right nowable spaces to emphasize the articulation we another elements we lands on was

the panel beam at the ground floor when speaking to the japantown special e.r. task force they felt this building was an opportunity to engage the pedestrian as well as emphasis the streetscape leading to the japantown center which is a block away i think if melinda can put the contextual renderings the project as you can see the large building to the left is the 8 story hotel that building to the right a multi unit residents 3

stories over garage ass are renders to the back the building our main living spaces are directed towards the rear of the building facing west interest is an troefk open mid space open space and we did want to emphasize our rear facade as well. >> and this is a site plan of the project to the rights is obviously the street and 17 hundred square feet deck the penthouse in the structure of gray the accelerator penthouse we're required to extend to the roof for ada assess as well as two stairwell penthouses for means of egress i know think

that wrap up i'm available to answer any questions thank you. >> thank you. >> we may have questions for you. >> opening it up for public comment i don't see any public comment is closed. >> commissioner moore. >> i am excited about the fact that people can get an idea you can do something on that level the project is an idea about a in fill project that i like because of the keeping residential scale next to a building that is difficult to understand a 1970 hotels that has its own history so in the advisory committee of that the design a heavy handed for me but a good exchange i'm in full support of that project.

>> commissioner antonini. >> i think it is good i have a question about the phase for the architect they appear over the upper two floors but not frame the lower floor i mean, why not cbo down to the bottom floor. >> commissioner antonini this we explored quite a few of the options and the main reason why the bays don't because of the height clearance above the sidewalk 7 foot 8 inches of clarence and because the sidewalk slopes uphill the bay on the right-hand side or the north side of building will be blow that limit we played that option expend the two south bays one floor down didn't like that

composition to be honest. >> what are the rooms on that first floor. >> their bedrooms. >> they'll be darker without the bays but, yeah i think that is you know it is contemporary i mean it is not my some kind of of architecture ensue it does the job so i'm in favor the project just a little bit unusual but i understand the reason for them extending they go above the level of roof. >> correct commissioner antonini to emphasize the height we wanted to articulate some flexibility with the correction in terms of again, a 8 story hotel to the set and 4 story building to the north we didn't want a flat roofline in terms of

articulation and visual engage. >> i like that we see to many structures some of them in a previous project just a roof and it is float like no imagine so we're going backward by i like what you're doing and pack that more of a statement at the top i think that is better than nothing at all it adds to the vertical nature the short building thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioner richards. >> just one quick clarification the exist hotel of the garage remains the existing hotel over garage. >> correct. >> so for a reduction of parking one space. >> 5 spaces for the building? >> i can speak to that the

hotel parking garage is an air spice subdivision it lot is located above that and the parking garage below grade the parking is 5 spot and 7 bike spots to an offset with one additional bicycle parking space. >> we're would have been 6 car spaces i like that it is a great project on an in file sites this is exactly what we need. >> commissioner moore. >> it's time for a motion move to approve. >> second. >> thank you, commissioners a motion and second with conditions. >> commissioner antonini. >> commissioner johnson. >> commissioner moore. >> commissioner richards commissioner wu commissioner president fong

so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 67 to zero zoning administrator, what say you? >> on the variance, close the public hearing and. >> thank you, commissioners on item 13 as 2444 lombard a conditional use authorization. >> good evening commissioners with an planning department staff this semi item a request for a conditional use authorization to allow the seary parking lot for a period of time not to exceed two years so this site is located within the m c-3 zoning on lombard between divisadero and scott this is within the 95 foot retail as wolf and lion pet supplies and 23 parking spaces

the retail use to serious insuring those are available for customers the project sponsor primarily tends to use this for long term parks for less 8 spaces not required by codes the planning department staff has from opposition and overall it is appropriate as that will not preclude further development and is compatible with the m c-3 and consistent with the general plan i'm available to answer any questions. >> project sponsor you have a 10 minute presentation if you need it.

>> good evening i'm sorry patricia rodriguez the manager of sf parking i'm here to request a conditional use authorization for 2444 lombard to manage and operate the parking lot i want to insure that the purpose of sf parking is positive for the community while having someone on location we can insure that the customers will have access to parking and make sure that the people are not parking at that lot easily and also a positive for the restaurants in the area where after wolf and lion closes we'll have an attendant there to park any of the restaurant customers

and this will insure that earlier people not supposed to be parking there we'll be monitoring that and just want to emphasize on the security of the location and making sure that people are not supposed to be there will not be there thank you. >> thank you. >> open up for public comment we might have questions are you looter. >> this group was here in a competitive found something in their tlaerps wonderful they cleaned up the parking lot they kept it clean they knew every single neighborhood and merchant this is a class act group i completely support this they did things like a homeless problem they did some creative stuff and

planted corn on the back wall people couldn't sleep because they were dealing drugs an interesting way of not having alterations and this is 1, 2, 3, 60 this is approximately, one feet from the bridge hotel which give us a lot of problems and many of the people who were in that parking lot were from the bridge at the time. >> i totally support this group they're really nice and competent. >> is there any additional public comment? >> i don't see any public comment is closed. >> commissioner antonini. >> very good project impossible to park there at night that will be easily to

visit lombard or chestnut and a parking attendant and it is good because most of the people you know using the pet store will be there during the hours and at night the patrons of the restaurants all of a sudden or shoulders they're doing a good job move to approve. >> commissioner moore. >> this is not the only enterprise that doesn't say that that way i remember clement street some of those things were happening do you have a recollection of that. >> i don't remember but i remember one on van ness avenue you. >> it is a creative idea and authorize the business hours for

the owner who needs it to make a more mixed use and multi yours i'm extremely supportive of this in the neighborhood. >> i'll mention that is a 2 year maximum temporary use and also the department is currently reviewing the mixed use for this site that is under environmental review commissioners with conditions. >> commissioner antonini. >> commissioner hillis excuse me. commissioner johnson. >> commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner wu and commissioner president fong noechlt unanimously 6 to zero and commissioners that places you under our discretionary review calendar for 2015 - 66 dr m an lombard street that this is a mandatory discretionary

negative impacts to the residents why at the convenience of a marijuana store in a problematic area of director chin and drugs and other criminals we've meet with them 4 times to discuss our concerns but due to the private rules and they claim the law doesn't require them to redufor those wa legitimate need they can get their product throughout the city or a delivery service also as you may know the city enforced and finally supported the edward the second and heavy invested in the success as a good example of a group housing program to work together the city will be disappointed from the mcd disrupts the edward the second our opposition is consistent with the hidden the

facilitate any community for the applicants in the neighborhoods we've done so and specifically sxaerl explained the location was likely to cause significant concerns given the approximate to k housing units projects he stated that this was a planning issue that causes significant risk in the communities risk that everyone was started to heal from given the strong relationship with the youth services and community housing partnerships ultimately supervisor farrell stated he didn't believe that a war over a a project in the neighborhoods would be positive for the community and therefore not support the project in the neighborhoods were in not in agreement and support and not supported the organizations with the agreement that was made

given the presence of the responsibly run medical cannabis would be harm to the edward the second and antidotes with the facility operated for four years and no suggested studies that medical cannabis pose a bad harmful issue and medical marijuana is sproirp in treating my son that doesn't interfere with the school and the professionalism and attendance to the taxi to the health of my patients and the prescription drugs can be purchased other two nearby walgreens how this adds it to lombard increases the risk for adults or community folks and the cost of medication is not cheap the academic raven in
