for the neighborhood characterization 60 houses at variance stages pushed back to deep in rear yard neighboring homes the construction and remodels that are in noah valley construction pipeline donna do not seem to be following the residential design and this the preserving the mid block space that is clearly outlined as a goal in the residential design guidelines i think that would be crucial for the planning commission to examine i can't the residential design guidelines exist in the first place and what's the goal to enforce the residential design guidelines are those guidelines only for the community massive members speak up all the hours in the pipeline have or will raise the footprint if from nine hundred plus square feet to 4 thousand plus square feet the additions are not going

underground but up and back those monster hours are not providing for single-family homes is a take away from the backyard that is mid block space those houses deprivacy neighbors in light and air and no evidence the constructions provide or would provide affordable housing the disappearance of mid block open space or areas that constitute guardians and quiet space and homes for a wide variety of homes for bidders and other insects this an proclamation for the privacy of the neighbors i urge the planning commission to take a serious look at this rapid transformation in san francisco and investigate the cumulative

rear yard slirj it is subjecting neighbors to jackhammer noise and other noise started at early as 7:30 and own weekend this disturbance is no time a pollution about impacts the many san franciscans who work from their homes i would suggest you know hours from 8 to 3:00 p.m. perhaps and then violence of work and during this trial on the weekends thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> oh, any time started hi georgia this is my summary of year things i think were demolition but were treated as alterations i think that the i

had to explain why beside the permit fees the city has not received my main concern the losses of affordable housing as well as the change in the architectural character of the housing stock without input from the public or you on another note here's a christmas wish for next year story polls with orange north) for rav rh1 of rh and rh2 for mid block open space including an assessment of the design of and loss of the rear yard marketed as part ofdp interior residential design guidelines and prior to 311 notification first going to dbi and the staff conditions of approval that don't allow for substantial

derivatives in the addendum plans or later permit application no more stair penthouse and roof deck in rh1 and rh2 that is too big to put under the tree i'm asking for it maya angelou will had will be a good thing for the neighborhood less confessing e excavation work for garages that cars can't enter because of steep driveways they have excavations for the driveways but don't need the garages i know you don't like grargz garage or you're thinking about not liking garages (laughter). >> that's quizzing kind it and it is absurd one for the entire city no anymore evictions that is beyond our purify merry

christmas and have a great holiday thank you. >> (calling names). >> hello, i'm ada changing with soma the special heritage district you've heard 3 months of testimony and hundreds and hundreds of people coming out came out to talk about the cultural district i appreciate commissioner antonini our comments i'm a history major rae have a planning degree i love the context in the context of some filipinos i wanted to put on the on the overhead of 10 thousand units los lost in the yerba buena and seven hundred businesses when you saw pope coming out a lot of people that have a lot of love and care for a neighborhood 55 that's their

neighborhood and currently the view we celebrate creative filipinos but more importantly what we see as a community tries to come back and own that space you usa's saw it in the commission meeting we have a central soma for community benefits the framework was as opposed to be for a memo owe wanted to call that out there was absolutely no intent i'm not saying while some people experience a slap in the face that's not the intent but the intent for people to understand a context and intent on the part of planning commission when you approved the conducted or district this wouldn't have happened in chinatown and not presented in the mission so i really want to encourage you all to think about i know the arts commission will go

through an equality justice and training this is a systemic but not an individual mr. larkin is steeped in the european framework in particular with the community benefit discussion it was heartbreaking to hear young people say it is the first it's been seen from the legislation from the board of supervisors i really wanted to urge courage to you think about this and work with us to figure out how we can be inclusive and welcoming thank you very much thank you, thank you very much. >> is there any additional public comment general public comment okay not seeing any, general public comment is closed. commissioner richards. >> always thank the public for

public comment it is enlightening and last week to the first a person that addressed us when we approved the change of section 317 the decisions and mergers for all dwelling units we did instruct staff to look at the decisions that in fact, demolitions by multiple expansion of the xhoifts house staff took that comment explained that and i know one other point i want to make i said this week after week georgia and i and the department of building inspection were going to look at 4 kinds studies on the homes she's brought before us to understand what transpired why the building disappeared and want to thank

mr. sanchez and dbi for informing us once in the past we would examine it on the 311 from the plans are multiples of the original plans it might be a renoticing hearing from folks they had in the neighborhood mergers was not built it is something significantly different i mentioned that a couple of weeks ago thank you. >> sorry commissioner moore. >> georgia thank you for your christmas card and for clearly stating you're wishes as not only complaints we don't dr. any tools but outlining tools by which we can perhaps build a christmas tree so thank you. >> okay next item, please. >> >> commissioners under the regular calendar item 7 was pulled off concept

and considered now for case 2016-2017 plus at mission street request for conditional use authorization. >> good morning commissioner president fong and other omar the request for the conditional use authorization for proposed vertically wireless communication facility on mission street the project is a motor scale mc-3 and preference by the citing guidelines the proposal consists of 12 panel antenna the department will be having a roof in a location and setback that will not be visual from the surrounding sidewalks it has a building that was developed in 1946 with the restraining order bucks departmental store for the

purposes of ceqa and preservation review applies- that permanently involves redesigning to not include the antenna and the penthouses will in the detract in the image of the building and alternative site analyze no other available higher preference locations including the slaerm and other cares at that canvassing campus the care held the community meeting 6 attended and 4 have compacted the department regarding issues from the prior commission and the study list prepared by a consultant reviewed by the dunst and determined taking into account

the roofs and below the rooftop radio roofs they can comply with the federal communication commission in conclusion that come politics with the guidelines and approved by the department of public health therefore staff respecting recommends the motion be adopted for approval thank you. >> opening it up for public comment hi, i'm ann bacon the address is unfamiliar but actually that is the true address of this you're talking about 3120 mission street a bottom floor residents would be tenants on the 20th century other two second story and third story they're two tenants that go by another address caesar chavez it is is misleading for the owners

to talk about it is as 3120 not the address of the people that will be effected 6 people showed up at the last meeting all people friends of ours we figured out who was going on and other can't be here it is a work day but on the giant notices put on the outside of the doors no where coming out of the building this is ass the same and caesar chavez it was covered up by another sign showing the mission street it is incredibly misleading if you want public comment they should be required to refile whatever paper with the correct address so the 40 pulse tenants are aware what it is going on i'm allowed to make health argument this human being

is going to be the person outlining closet to this we live on top of the building the photo that was shown to&÷ me shows th3 towers coming straight by our bedrooms sure if everything is correct but i ask t you if you are comfortable if this was our child we're the only people that live on top of the roof the last comment we've been aske⌞ to remove planets we've been told the common rooftop gasped the roof is structurally unsafe and huge poodle so from the roof is unsafe how exactly is it safe to build 3 new structures so rules are applied to us as tenants not applied to the business that's

unfair thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> good afternoon, commissioners aim peter i'm representing verizon wireless on this project as omar mentioned we did a notice this project pursuant to the guidelines i do know that 34, 3 army or caesar chavez is the address on the exterior of the building i placed signs at the front on both frontages not at the door the back of the building because pubically it wouldn't be visual to people on the sidewalk so i placed it on the wall of the building close to that intranls on the sidewalk after the rains

i replaced those signs with ones that were laminated so future rain who wouldn't bother them we checked on them every 10 years as far as the roof it is structurally capable of holding the equipment we'll be installing and plans that are vetted for that structural integrity if you have any questions for me this morning or afternoon. >> we may. >> is there any additional public comment and just to be clear i didn't call the project sponsor that was the project sponsors time any is there any additional public comment okay not seeing any, public comment is closed. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. maybe i can ask if you feel the noticing was adequate will i placed. >> we did the address

associated was the same as the previous projects so it is consistent with the projects at the site as i believe that you commented the r f levels are acceptable emissions and he understand if the speaker is interested in anyone else they can have the testing done after the installation of the new project to make sure they're correct about >> correct dustin you can contact myself and determine whether or not it complies with with standard of federal commission. >> given that testimony i'll move to not take dr and approve the project. >> commissioner moore. >> i'd like to ask mr. macy to

put a planned drawings of the facility only the screen we can at least see where the residential entrance because it is not clear to me either. >> i have the roof drawings. >> it's the first draufrg in the set. >> could you take this one. >> oh. >> i'll have the project

sponsor point out the residential - >> i'd like to know the residential entrance. >> on this side south side. >> of the building, if you will, off of cesar chavez there is acy clone fence and loading dock in the south west a cyclone fence for gated automobiles the signage was on the wall on the sidewalk side by the loading dock i did not think that putting it at the door would help notice anybody except the people in the building not visible from the thereby fair that was what i did i took paragraphs of the site and two locations that's what we felt

was appropriate location for the notices we put 4 feet signages okay. >> commissioner moore did you have follow-up comments. >> it is very difficult to speak to the manner i'll have to reuse industrial building and fully understanding where people come from we don't have the information to really know the - normally people that come to a residential building don't go through a fence and the residential have a fully recognized entrance that is unusual i have to building the applicant did what we knew to do but is that enough i'm sitting

and not knowing how to respond to it i've not fully understand what was described so i'm a little bit without an answer. >> commissioner johnson. >> yes. this i'm confused in the motion there is residential uses in the building from yeah. from - under the planning policies and talking about existing housing and neighborhood characterization says no residential planning in the project site so my view of the picture the industrial building whereas a good area i've reviewed the coverage requirements and everything and support verizon to hear someone saying that they live in the tower and part of this is going by other residents so it is like changes the facts on the ground i want a response to that.

>> before that testimony there was nothing in the packet to say there was anybody that lived there. >> it has been adopted for the center on the ground floor and offices. >> go to the other mike. >> i'm sorry. i'll start over the building was adopted from the sears restraining order buck for the ground floor and the offices and residents as well as an upper penthouse this is preference 5 which is a mixed use building a residential floors above commercial space similar to institutional and this is in a rh3 zoning district. >> yeah, because there is a view that is allowed in the plans didn't mean it is there i'm reading a motion no residential differentials that

site is currently was developed as tthe ground floor. >> correction there are residential sites in the plan as well. >> i'm a little bit confused as to the plans for the equipment so where the towers will be and the generator and such where is that in restriction to 9 residential uses it is not clear where things are. >> computer please. so there are residents within the tower elements on the rooftop the wireless have composed of antennas located here facing outdoors and this is

facing southward and this to the east and this is one of the thirty simulations jumping to the roof plan so this is the southern half the building and the directions arrows in blue are where they are the attendants facing the southern half of the building facing with caesar chavez to the north and the plan is here this is the roof diagram and the letters b surrounding each portion represent where they will be located the antenna will not face targeted the elements on the rooftop or the tower. >> so where it says penthouse. >> correct - yeah, the tower element here and you have a fairly

substantial penthouse structure here the towers have pointed this way west towards noah valley, south down totes bernal height area and east to the bernal height. >> okay. >> thank you. >> commissioner richards. >> with an of the concerns as recorded the r f exposure mentioned anyone on the ground and i guess floors below but i'd like to understand since the differential is close to the antenna within 6 or 7 feet what's the r f levels. >> i'm going to turn it over to my colleague. >> if i live in the penthouse like the woman and child how many feet what is the r f 0 what would it be. >> i'm roger with hampton any questions and edison i'm a

licensed professional electrical engineer in the state of california the levels at the penthouse actually are lower than the nearby building because the direction of the antenna on the picture the antennas have pointed west first and foremost and the penthouse to the north so the location we find have less than 16 percent of the i say 16 percent is the nearby building across the street from mission street and the antennas are oriented in this direction i hope that helps. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioner moore. >> for the fairness i think disclosure he feel as we need to see a drawings that verifies

where the residential units are i feel since we're living in a housing shortage across the country crisis we need to be extra careful of how we address housing if the planner is not describing that housing is a use i have some problems we're not spending the attention e attention we need to pay open this i feel uncomfortable without seeing the drawings that disclosure e disclose that to me. >> commissioner hillis. >> a question on noticing i recognize you want the public to understand but part of noticing to let the tenants know in the building that is happening so if if where were they notified 1r7b8d.

>> a notice it is mailed to every property owner and building permit one within nine-hundred feet and on the bernal height neighborhood we had them initial all groups and the similar process for the planning commission hearing over a three hundred foot boundary. >> that includes the tenant in the building autopsy yes. i received phone call from the tenants in the building. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. sir what's the residents are in those towers i would assume on the on top of drawings is that where the residents are living or in the lower levels from the towers. >> roughly 9 months i. >> my understanding in the at all tower is the residents that

the community members to talking about the other tower, if you will, or penthouse is an office i don't believe anyone lives there. >> she lives in one with her child and all the other residents are below. >> what's the distance from the penthouse in which the speaker lives to the nearest antenna. >> i believe 50 feet. >> 50 feet and, of course, i can or will test r f emissions from the when it is installed with relationship to that place as well as the unit. >> that's right that's part of conditions as the gentleman described we will be happy to inquiry with the planning to have that test done.

>> my final question the roof is not for people to be wondering around or come up to the area the antennas. >> there's a community garden that was referenced earlier by the access ladder or assess stairwell to the roof there's a gate but won't stop someone is from walking across that roof to the location pursuant to the guidelines and the conditions we would have marking and signage indicating the areas not to hang out in speaks for itself. >> that's fairly typical we have projects where we have rooftop installations in residential buildings i think that is made clear that anyone who is on the roof is not advised not to approach the antennas. >> that's correct. >> so you would this is fair

standard i mean there is some question in the original report whether or not there was residential units but the fact there are doesn't change that we have the standards they've been met and can be tested i don't see whatever action i'm in favor of the project. >> commissioner johnson. >> i'm sorry we're spending so much time i have to say the packet is not helping today so a couple of things first of all, from the testimony of the public comment sound like their closing the community garden that's part of the way like not have people on the roof and i mean, i can't verify that i'm not the building owner but the story is not in sync and i read the bryan's report this is the distance that is used for the

testing for the nearest location of the testing is 90 feet not 50 feet it is because of using nearby building that are similar height and going back to no residents units in the packet didn't look at people looking in this is 50 feet away my question is something anyone ca can request for any installation they find there are elevated levels at or near the tower what happens. >> one turn off the system or using a different type of system or changing the orientation to be away from the building the antennas are direction all how you rotate them is like a

residential rooftop nearby and with respect to the rooftop area we did as part of request that some of the existing abandon small wireless facilities on the rooftop be moved away from the roof garden we have a conditioner their abandoned or - so the recommendation they remove the antennas away from public view. >> thank you. >> one final thing my understanding is based we have a state of these you know a time ago we're moving away from the macro for the residential areas with micro facilities given the proposition e presentation in the packet i know the the verizon report looks at wait the need of the signal in the area and part of the definition how you get the information you need

can you guys go over why the decision was made on the macro facility maybe we should have palm trees with you know make - >> a decision on what is proposed, however, in this case it fits with the pattern we have a site at the eagle building the capital improvement plan didn't chose it a care looking at the sites we'll see carriers wanting to use the macro sites instead of relying on small cells on poles this project does not appear to be unique or extraordinary it is something we've seen somewhere but the directions obviously the fake

trees are to help with the mature trees rooftops give the least intrusive way to make sure that they don't impair the use of buildings looks at or create other challenges as noise and other anular effects of the mechanics on the rooftop. >> i'm going to make a motion to continue the reason i want the case report to reflect the fact that the ground and the analysis of the type of installation to make sure it lines up with the facts on the ground of what is actually, the use in the building and the need for signals in the area from a signal so i'm not prepared to make the decision today or weigh in on that i think having a consistent story brought to us

will help you make a motion to continue this item until january 7th. >> i second the motion. >> commissioner richards. >> question for project sponsor i have a departmental health information sheet about you know health risks and the maps of the site maybe you could upcoming put it up on the overheads number 9 the public inclusion is 67 don't get closer 67 feet as the antennas are directional facing out towards the street if you are are 6 k through 12 feet away one setback 16 and one 15 feet. >> my worry maybe put up the map. >> sfgovtv go the computer

screen please. there is residents in the penthouse and a child a child wander out and walks up to the antenna how close is the child could make the child suffering any health consequence. >> a barrier and noticing signs. >> okay. so the barrier really the child can't get through the barrier. >> i imagine if they're curious enough they could. >> the child didn't reads he seize colors who knows what is going through the child's mind some way prevent the child from climbing over to get access to see what is in there. >> that's what with my question is. >> go ahead. >> sorry maybe i can help

answer this so some guidance on barricades 42 inches in some cases like this rooftops where their somewhat public assessable barricades if you can imagine they're built like a closed lattice. >> metal. >> no not metal it reflects the signal so some form of plastic 42 inches high and stored all the way around it is on a couple of sites something similar if there is a concern the child goes through a typical. >> that's something i'll ask you to do if you continue to make it child proof.

>> we can work with verizon and come up with a latticlattic >> commissioner antonini. >> the project is fine but i'll support a continuance because there is questions by commissioners when you come back we'll have those questions answered he suspect that's what the commissioners want before that january. >> the continuance is january 7th. >> so there's a motion was there a second. >> commissioner moore. >> i have a question for director rahaim in adoptive reuse and the adoption thereer requirement that adaptive reuse provides open space from the roof garden with the

introduction of the cell antennas does the requirement of usable open space remain unchanged and in what form are they reusable i'm curious to see we're tracking the requirements for residential window open space and in no form impaired by the usability this is a simple question i'd like when this project comes back i'd like to see an answer on this issue this is broader than 9 project. >> certainly the open space requirement will not change still have the open space requirement i believe did roof is sufficient to provide that we'll make sure that is marked on the drawings when you have the hearing in january. >> thank you. >> commissioners a motion to continue this to january 7th commissioner antonini. >> commissioner hillis commissioner johnson

commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner wu and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero and commissioners that places us on item 12. >> jonas before you start and more commissioners, i want to disclose i did seek advise with the city attorney's office as i have a business that is now closed my ownership in a property other affirmative action have led the merchant group but feel i'm able to participate in this item and judge it and vote without bias thank you. >> good afternoon commissioner president fong and members of the commission this is an place

important meeting the stakeholders and identifying their concerns and eliminating the problems i think is extremely important my name is i in my opinion and secondly, from the work area was the proper location for an mcd i declined to represent applicant in the past because of their location and not studied the location when i met with ray i felt was the proper person extremely pagsz about medical cannabis and done a responsible job of outreach as you can see from the number of signatures and letters after i metro ray i undertook an analysis of the survey and determined in my opinion it was a great location for a medical cannabis dispensary for the following reasons first no other mcd within a mile and quarter no access to this part of city for access and no schools or park

nearby or other youth services and no grocery of the risks to the dispensary to get more that members it is safe and amble street parking and public a transportation lines around the facility and foot traffic and lastly is added to the diversity of the use that will attract new customer service center consumers to the area and benefit the neighborhood as a whole i understand that the people in the community may have concerns that mcd there crimes or other nuisance i think we look at the track records of mcds in the city that track record didn't support of legacy of those claims it is a safe investment environment and provides valuable if in fact, those dispensaries created those

problems i couldn't stated in front of of the commission i've been here before on another mcd application their held to a higher standard and he studying the exception mr. conley will be a responsible operator and the counter 34kd will be a valuable addition to this community. >> good afternoon. i'm ray conley my father and partners father both died did have cancer at an early age we were led to open up this dispensary during my outreach program i met over one thousand people that live in north beach and other areas around fisherman's wharf along with that, i also gained over 18 thousand signatures of an online

medical benefits is shocking not only will we have local residents a reason to visit the i don't want to drive across town more need to be using medical cannabis it is medication that people need access to thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is dennis i'm president of the fisherman's wharf merchants association and i'm here to speak above the board of governors in opposition of the mcd in no way, shape, or form do we dispute the importance of an mcd not in you're neighborhood we working closely with captain lazarus and have a very, very big problem

problem in city of san francisco and mcd doesn't cause homeless but my main point the point the opposition tells me as a residents of the san francisco and telegraph hill this is not a family in a family-friendly designation like focusing what their plying the rest of san francisco is not family-friendly so it should be opened there and not fisherman's wharf i find hypocrisy from the opposition please don't let them think i should be able to get my medication in different neighbors not two blocks i shop at trader joe's and orchestra elder hardware let me stay in the neighborhood thanneighborho

>> i'm a homeowner and a muffling patient suffering from god bless glad come and an i have successfully lowered any pressure and prevented if going blinds i want to speak on behalf of this project he support medical cannabis assess and point out several issues maybe raised first of all, even though this is deliver medical cannabis is a precise science and when medical patients want to see the type of cannabis they need to game a examine and look at the analysis i don't want to expect when the delivery comes it works when you buy produce you don't get it dlifdz you examine is it

is urban dignified from the paternity don't live in the neighborhood and future medical cannabis patients will in the city fisherman's wharf and have a right to assess medical cannabis furthermore, tourist who live in san francisco, california for medical cannabis patients visit the wafer thereer drug stores in fisherman's wharf where people if out of area can get prescriptions filled and the majority of people that use the medical cannabis according to a expert use medical cannabis that to replace the drugs it is important that the medical cannabis patients are not viewed as anti i used to work for a dispensary and people that go to dispensaries are not having been vagrants and met cat illegal and

sell to young people the police details the crimes shows, in fact, when the dispensaries are up crime rates go down when the dispensaries close crime goes up medical cannabis are a welcome addition and the tourists friendly of the upper market area is home for 4 years to the medical cannabis dispensary with plenty of tourist and not one complaint i urge you to a port this project thank sa port this project thank port this project thank opport this project thank ort this project thank uport this project thank port this project thank you. >> nooemdz a michael cohen an hiv patient in san francisco and strongly other than the americans for safe assess of san francisco chapter and leadership

committee i'm a medical cannabis patient and cannabis is my medication not making me a criminal or a bad person i'm here to speak up in favor of the patient some of the things i've heard from people where quote those people that come to the dispensary look so different than me we have a real mix of people in san francisco black and latino and filipino and all don't look the same some have baggy pants is that a reason to discriminate those people make me feel uncomfortable maybe they don't look like tourists i think so another quote this dispensary is an awkward fit for our neighborhoods i think people that live in the neighborhood

should have access to medicine that they desperately needs another quote this dispensary okay. not in this neighborhood the tourists need cannabis and patience as well another quote those people will bring a criminal element to my neighborhood i see no status to back that up from the police department i believe that many of the comments are based an racism is at root of many of their oppositions yes, we all know that racism is still alive in 2015 in san francisco listen to the news it an attack on medical cannabis patients i would like you to remember the people that visit

business are cannabis patients that seen a doctor that recommend this as medicine for they're all times they don't look like a desk clerk didn't mean they don't need medicine provided for them when i go to any doctor i see patients in the waiting room they are sick people i urge you to support this thank you. >> good afternoon commissioners my name is don the california director of americans for safe assess for the medical cannabis organization i'm here in support of operational application for friends medical cannabis in california is the has been legal since 1996 and sensible access to patient while

reducing crime and complaints i trust you reviewed the report i sent you yesterday on that topic medical cannabis parnlts come from the community like the rest of the community and we can't allow stigma or bias to overrule the fact that this application purports with the criteria and because you have a strong regulatory program here in san francisco and one that is adequately enforced the activities and impact of this facility like the other in town will be nothing but positive for the community so i'll encourage you to look at the criteria on the application under the odor and make a decision based on the land use and innovate the fears and unfounded fears of a handful of neighbors to look for the patient in san francisco like everyone else thank you. >> hi a resident of san

francisco about 20 years my partner and two which shall age 9 and eleven 12 he learned when my partner had cancer 8 years ago i had to fulfill her prescriptions made me drive across town many mission no parking you know having accessibility for everyone is very important and it is a family-friendly cancer happens to family when my children 9 and 12 down at the wharf in the wharf spending our money it is family-friendly having a medical

cannabis dispensary didn't cause riffraff and vagrants peep like myself have to go to a place and park and walk you know my children can be in the neighborhood i'll not drag them to the mission it is an unsighting way of hiding to go get medical marijuana so hopefully, you'll listen to the proponents and think about the access that citizens need on this side of city thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm will with business owner in the fisherman's wharf been there about a year own a motor vehicle and gift shop on james weldon johnson street want to express based on my one year how many patients have comexa to me aski about the near itselfxxxxxxxxxxx

we talk about families that are desperate and the people involved in the area i've heard comments like well, you know there's hardly any kid's walking around oh, my god that's all we have is families and the crime rates people say there is no significant interest in crime rate the fact it the police department is not allowed to collect data an mcds so this is something that it's a misconception the fact i've spoken to police officers they've told me absolutely criminal and havingcy goes up and people enter seed buyers-

the issue of accessibility there are 46 go dispensaries i understand you want to feel and see you have the right content if you buy through it fruit online you can buy marijuana on line it takes whatever i already it is assessable in any search engine the argument it feasibility focusing it has 60 million investors a year that's a lot of people if you think you'll drive into a parking lot and park our car and get our medication i have news it is going to take you 6 hours and $50 before you get in not assessable as you think this is

the driving point of my comments and mcds need to be part of city affirmative action is absolutely not the place for mcds to be. >> next speaker and (calling names) that's me eugene thank you commissioner president fong and commissioners i'm not a public speaker ensue have 4 relatives in the area in the northeast part of town beneficial to my family 3 of the relatives are over 80 years old currently i don't know their business if they're taking medical cannabis but i believe in the future would be beneficial for them and as far as the police and crime and all this stigma people are are talking about authorities are watching people

let's not say there isn't someone watching when something is going on i believe i've seen many cannabis clubs helping people to the front door she have security succeed who i am yes, if you're waiting for a patient just wait audit everything is sdreets and kind this is for people that want to like relatives like my relatives that are over 80 years old that need this as medication in the privacy of their home and these are property owners thank you. >> hello, i live in district 3

powell and sacramento street i've also there 10 years san francisco police commission most of my life a medical cannabis patient one thing i've noticed none mentioned medical cannabis has been legal in california for 20 years not like you know we've not have experience of meeting people that used cannabis for a long, long time most people are normal working people and the statistics that back this up i ran a cannabis doctors clinic for 4 years downtown san francisco and because i had access to patient records i decided to do american people anonymous database to figure out the average age of a cannabis patient 37 years old those are the people it is not

predominantly gangsters it is paramount people that have families family-friendly yes they are and people that have jobs they're not vagrants and people that use it responsibly responsible you don't buy marijuana if you can't afford it you don't want to eye something that is addictive so you use cannabis it make sense in my neighborhood i go to this area taylor street it is convenient not south of market and i think that a lot of the people in the neighborhood feel the same thing i don't understand why there is so much weird opposition from merchant i don't know it effects their business medical cannabises don't allow loitering

so if you notice driven past a dispensary not seeing a lot of loitering and gang stares an urban desirable people on photographs celebrating when i go down to youth or a sunday afternoon they look the is a same thing as everyone else in the dispensary i don't understand the opposition and here to support the - this location he appreciate you're time thank you. >> thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? okay great, thank you >> all right. good afternoon commissioners i'm troy the executive director of fisherman's wharf representing the 25 members of the board of directors so san francisco is a city that manages the this the

advocacy and activists and working with the supervisors polk street wants to keep out banks and a starbuck's and place moratoriums on businesses from fillmore to valencia we work to identify those businesses that detract in the merchants that is what we're doing here for taylor street this is a real estate office a dentists office businesses that don't fit the businesses especially in a retail corridor it is unique and helps those partnering in tourism the streets similar to arbitrarily a jury members and in chinatown and powell between market and geary those don't contain the businesses those

detract but to have our corridors not climatey or exclude the majority is a bad strategy to put this cbo perspective 15 retail shops and 6 companies and one hotel and at focusing 12 million visitors are not from the state of california this business will including exclude people walking this is not in keeping with the floor and undermines the planning commission to bring the shopping experience to the corridors in support of parklet fisherman's wharf public plan from 2010 it is part of ream and mixed use plan currently being worked on a holistic view of the wharf to make sure our demographics to attract the right kind of

businesses for 12 million investors the letters for the dispensary allowed at this location decades when the wharf was industrial had railyards and no businesses supported this and the fact that is a neighborhoods this is not a neighborhoods serving district the walgreens and other don't contain pharmacies no one is advocating one of the last places for stone town and candle stick point we have the zone for this reason we need the conditional use authorization to look at our consideration and demographics and disapprove a pots dispensary at this location thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i'm one of the property owners who is

adjacent to the location for the dispensary we have property along taylor street in halfway to taylor street to james weldon johnson street my concern here are not with - about the homeless element we've heard we have a lot of mental and alcohol and drug addicts down there given this type of element we are the communities have been struggling to contain the problem and help the homeless help the police and the outreach people and clean up the neighborhoods since people come off the cable cars and walk down that street in all the combined efforts we've been able to make small advances due to the amount of people concentrated in the area and due

to the amount of lack of police at times, and due to the amount of crime and the accessibility to, am i correct? commit crime and obtain the money to buy the drugs nfl the drugs are they're only coping skills as far as medical use of marijuana i understand the need i don't believe this location is the rights location i feel that perhaps many of their customers will become soft target for the criminal elements knowing their carrying money or drug when they leave i also am concerned about an uptick in crime right now as you may know in san francisco we've an you enormous crime in theft

especially in the streamline area of fisherman's wharf i can only see those problems increasing if an dispensary were to be in this area i have a brother who is 51 years old he was arrested in sausalito having drug paraphernalia having a loaded gun without the safety on with additional ammunition identification refusing arrest my brother has been doing drugs a great period of his life and a danger to himself and society nfl he's back on the streets and many of the years he did drugs the drugs railroad obtained from

fisherman's wharf and many family member that had to try to help another knows the frustration and the walls you're up against i'm sorry ma'am, your time is up. >> >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is alexander are i represent 3 retail stores 1 on taylor street not go down to the potrero by fisherman's wharf is not safe fisherman's wharf is more unsafe every year and this location if approved will make that worse you know the reality is not everybody is as see

composed they have those onerous i know 50 or 60 people that got marijuana cards for a sprained wrist not saying they'll linger but my fear on taylor street i don't have security outside of my door i strongly oppose this location. >> thank you. >> next speaker >> i'm you don't think i'm a project manager at a property on fisherman's wharf and live in the area and president of the fisherman's wharf cb d we reviewed the documents supplied and provided through the planning commission agendas our first concerns nefarious to those after review the floor

plan and renderings and consulting with another dispensary we believe this location contains a lot of red flags that shows the lack of experience staff has in operating a mcd many of the dispensaries have school district they control the access and keep a watchful eye on the sidewalk it appears to be an open storefront that invites easy egress and ingress thisla sitting behind the - the dispensary didn't have its own bathroom and shares with 6 other businesses and this posed a safety problem as they and the just a few minutes properties have found homelessness people sleeping in the hallways and

experience break in the manager and other persons are the only people that have access it is not ada assessable and therefore it is in violation of americans with disabilities act by making it hard for a disabled person you've been told the wharfó struggles with the constant management of those who target our visitors we have organized a crime group who con visitors out of thousands of dollars future materials con people out of money and constant vandal lynching the cv d cleans up feces and urine from taylor street to show you guys a few pictures of the mcd area here's

one a few doors down rotate that yeah. >> this is across the street just around the corner. >> across the street and another 1 across the street we don't believe that people who need medical marijuana all those people the issue is there after speaking with sfpd on multiple occasions it was repeating this willes operate the problem. >> thank you. next speaker, please and good afternoon, commissioners i'm eric i'm the director of sales at gray line san francisco we are located and have been located for over 10 years on taylor street the

proposed addresses a lot of our concern our main concerns from the online business in which we'll have share an address with the proposed business most of our customers say 70 purchase in advance online those folks refer to reviews found an google amongst other website and the wholesalers; right? a basic search of this address will bring up both businesses we are concerned it will effect our business people are search and find this location excuse me. as opposed to our business and furthermore, reviews we host about three hundred thousand customers from all over the world and the country majorities domestic i hear stigma and unfortunately,

there is a stigmañ1 that stigmas a negative one and no judgment an whether or not it is right or wrong but will effect our business because it is a neighbor essentially actually john addressed the back corridor we utilize for restrooms and concerns will be not necessarily the customers or not the customers excuse me. the patients that are visiting that are getting their prescriptions our concern will be theft, robbery and the easy way that backdoor to assess not knowing the security or lay out you're concern is sharing that back entryway and our online business that will be affected thank you
