thursday, january 14, 2016,thursday, january 14, state your name for the record. i'd like to call roll at this time. commissioner president fong commissioner wu commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioners, the first item on your agenda is consideration of items proposed for continuance item one requirement for certain restrictions on units it has been withdrawn as item 2 requirement for certain restrictions on certain dwelling units has also been withdrawn oh, excuse me. further under our discretionary review authorization calendar i'm pleased to noumgs item 4 ab

at 160 through 64 bein regard street discretionary review authorization has been withdrawn commissioners questions or comments i want to get a clarification from staff not necessarily today but the zoning in the he eastern neighborhoods and i just want to know my understanding was mo u will allow pdr to allow the retail a lot of things that are allowed i don't believe? specifics they have is to be equal amounts of use and not specify that any given building

has to have at least as far as the eastern neighborhoods it seems to me also that when we did this we had parts of the u m u zoning more favorable to pdr uses and some were more favorable inform housing i don't know that was spelled out in the eastern neighborhoods but my feel i'm hearing some of the areas are more clients in one direction we need a clarification we get a lot of discussion an issues that come before us as well as general public comment and it is important to clarify what that really the eastern neighborhoods says in regards to that >> i'll be happy to to answer that this is probably a good reminder in what the intent of the m m u what the housing allows it allows all of those uses and some suds that are specific reminders or you encouragement for license and

we'll give that and put a memo together p pent appreciate that. >> commissioner richards ash on monday an article on anomalous vehicles and the impact on future taxed fees and fines one of the startling statistic santa fe we keep on building the buildings with parking keep in mind that the age of vehicles or the ownership passes all the parking spaces i was talking to a couple of folks some of the dissent bonus and the other things lastly has caused a lot of anxiety i've heard from folks i said you know what is the anxiety around this they said you have a long memory

what do you mean we kind of have to regain more trust in the ideas that are coming our way they said they brought up the fact the freeways running there san francisco not a good idea and last sunday had the fillmore in the first page and still struggling after redevelopment and slots of blocks being bulldoze on the name of urban renewal and the fact that at one point a loophole people were using to get housing in strictly areas the memory stays long it keeps getting refreshed by those articles we as the commission try to get that trust into the public and make sure we have good outreach and present facts and solutions and all points of view make sure we balance those

views so i want to remind everyone. >> thank you commissioner moore. >> i'd like to tee off on commissioner antonini's reminder on the u m u without staring the reasons discussion i'd like to ask we expand the discussion go perhaps by a presentation of mr. wolf regarding the policy and notion of the driving overriding principles of rezoning the eastern neighborhoods particularly in the waterfront south beach, potrero hill and on and on and make the judgements an update on the policy and that decision making have help us to reach the target commissioners,

said you talked to me when a meeting those people railroad planning a meeting we don't know anything i anything it came up all of a sudden this issue of noah valley we wanted to have a neighborhood meeting i'm glad you're having a meeting and on the website a district 4 meeting a woman here late night last week additional i didn't see that on the website so i know it is all compressed and happening really fast i know you'll have you're hearing next week it is something to consider this is happening rapid and maybe we need to take a brought since we're having a meeting in the neighborhood i want to request from the department to be generous you have maps showing the rezoning you could share with the neighborhood meeting

sangy you come to a birthday party you bring a present thank you very much. >> good afternoon, commissioners happy new year donald here residents of san francisco and you know, i respect georgia's comments we're in a public emergency sunflower housing stock in our city we need to take effective steps to reduce the rent by 50 percent in this city and also in the bay area san francisco is an example for the rest of the region to take care of our housing solution so try to core relate this as a birthday party meeting is disingenuous i have some photos about up zoning if i may

use the overhead projector it is well-designed in the 20s the middle the block is single-family homes and the corner of the block is multi unity building that creates a dynamic neighborhood look and feel in character for the residents of the neighborhood and as far as a variety of height here on telegraph hill is a home 3 single-family homes to be proposed to be built and again there is a variety of heights on those structures creating interest in the architecture this is another one we have a brand new building right over here slightly higher than one

story but creates up zoning in the neighborhood that is not intrusive what creates a boring and lack of interest in the neighborhood is the same heights all around as you can see this is a brand new unit that was built and it is actually very boring the architecture is a plain and also another one over there in presidio heights the variety of work lines creating a dynamic interests in the neighborhood character and another home here which at one point was a mansion in the day and a four story building that creates dynamic interest on the blo and

finally another mansion- to the affordable density bonus project really the benefit to all the neighborhood involved and this is something we can really address and create a more of a paris feel in the city and county of san francisco adding more density and units thank you. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment general public comment okay not seeing any, general public comment is closed. commissioners commissioners, that places you under your for item 8 41 street and 88 first street and others streets an informational presentation. >> good afternoon president fong and commissioners with the planning department staff before you say an informational item for further commission action the department has been working

with the team and welcome outcome or your insight the rehabilitation on a parcel within the transit center as not to the 4 story - ranger from 6 hundred 5 feet to eight-hundred feet and the - excluding open space and public arts this is one million square feet of open space with 200 plus dwelling units and ground floor active use non-residential space the project requires the action for downtown authorization expectations and the office allocation for the conditional use authorization for section 303 to proceed additionally sponsor is requesting the

variance from the zoning administrator at this time the project is under review to see if it - and without further delays we have more detailed information i'm available to answer any questions following thank you. >> project sponsor please. >> good afternoon commissioner president fong and members of the commission and director rahaim i'm jim ruben reuben, junius & rose we've worked on reiterations from the project and i'll really, really delighted to be here we're close to getting something built we truly have a spectacular team all introduce a few of them we have a small sampling of the project team and full team would take uppermost of room the

ownership is ocean wide as you may know under chin wu is the head of ocean wide in san francisco office i'm sure you'll hear this is their u.s. headquarters and jackie tang and others in the room and then we have from foster and partners coming from london for this presentation today mike, and stefanone that will be making the presentation to you as i said many of the consultants are here with the overall questions we're ready to answer them i'm going to turn it over to stefanone and michael to make the presentation and we'll be in the room available for questions thank you. >> thank you very much. >> for the introduction

dear commissioners and commissioner president fong first of all, i'd like to thanks everyone this is an awkward presentation i have to turn my back but i want to tell you you how honored to work in san francisco and can this go on that screen and yes sfgovtv go to the computer i'm talking to sfgovtv. >> honored to work in san francisco you have one of the most beautiful cities in the world and have the privilege to come here for the last 6 years we've been involved slightly further down in the bay area and cumpertino on this imagine it didn't exist but clearly shows you yours vision of the saddle and today hopefully by the end

of it you'll see whether we're worthy addition to this spectacular skylight we all are proud to be what we think is one of the nations most interesting infrastructure project getting the transbay terminals to happening happen will be performing the neighborhood and take a long view of high speed rail and transformer california you know the site very well you can see it on the diagram here but what is unusual is when we talk about san francisco we love the alleys ways our first walk around on the site more than two years ago we thought that is actually, the dna of san francisco and we truly and this is the sketch that was prepared too years ago so not on afterthought

sketch it is all will keeping the alleyways going and we truly developed the tower from the pedestrian experience up and as you can see here the transbay terminal on the left first street and you see mission street and most importantly you see how these streets intersect but little areas in the grain of the box at the end of the day a city is only as good as the per ability within the block we see cities as human organism but you get the blood flow working as soon as possible so out of that thought we actually had division of creating a public square if you built a conventional

building you'll have a central court those two boxes show you the position of the court and most important move toe move those to one side and create a very grand space at the bottom and as you can see the cause in a bit more detail not only one space but alleyways that connect with the parks i'm going to talk about in a minute on mission and really the very simple idea let's the towers hover over the public spa and give the space to the people and let's the towers hereafter above it this picture shows that from renderings of the space later on we'll show you this model and i see we're to take it off and

switch the lights this is the because of the first street tower and it is truly public no glazing and no barrier every citizen from san francisco will come in and basically invited and maybe the wrongs word a true gift to the public which in almost a serious moment as architect we find that is the greatest thing to create public spaces that makes the city a better place we've spent allotment with a great team and great collaboration with the planning department programming space, looking at different things to happen just the corner of first street and steven son the cafe within some moments you can search warrant concerts and the band a can be playing but

farmer's market on special days of the week and as we t about the alleys i want to direct your attention to a few spaces the first one i mentioned is on mission street as you can see on the left side if you look at the situation are you roadway you walk over there this minute and the appearance of that situation we're creating a little pocket park and a new link that didn't exist at the moment we'll talk about naming for this new alley but it is all creating better and more connections because if you imagine in a few years ago time when passengers or whatever people in transit coming from the electrician terminal that will percolate into the city the more routines the better for the city and another pocketed part

is actually in the extension of ed.com additional one of the narrow it alleys in san francisco it is great as it continues there is a chance of creating a nice place for people to sit and read a book and enjoy san francisco you probable know the building is on the corner on first and mission an ensemble of interesting buildings we're happy we all agree the city planning department they'll be restored carefully and keep the character that have corners the original historic drawings as it is now and where it is going to be it is titled we're not going to keep it exactly but take it back

to its original space so that shows you in a crude model we are believeders in rendering have a potential of making the world look slightly different models don't lie this is if you get a feeling for the scale and also how it ties in with the existing buildings the hotel on mission street sorry that is this second diagram of first street and mission sorry the mission street there will be it is base multi functional spaces for the hotel rooms and restaurants as you go up in the tower that will appear driving long mission street here's the base i've been talking about the restaurant and spaces that the public can go to and own 9 bottom on the left as

you can see the little corner park and this is the connection through on the hiccup. >> the tower on the mission street basically will be a stone building that is the architectural concept we call them a dream as expressed as bay windows on that facade so the first street second discriminate will be the big pub public space this is 70 feet high space above that you see the office accommodates and on top of the building the high levels are residential this is the artistic impression of that corner you actually, the truth you can't get this view you have to step further into the building this is just to

give you a feeling of the overall composition our closer to the tower but the idea for the first street tower was we called them feats they're the crystal appearance the expression but the surface of facade angles and the true descriptions came from diamonds and how stone is cut a pure piece of glass is less interesting than the piece more expressive top it will be the top of the building and as. >> zoom in you see the impression expression of the structure we call them glass

tiles and facets it will be extremely transparent as sky and then as the sun is none o on an angle will be reflecting the sky in different ways i'm interested in gardens and sky and moving them off to one does the offset coerce make a flexible place to work in you'll be able to take pieces of structure out as the future tenants of this building requires so that will give you the potential to create double spaces within the tower and basically the best way we believe how to future prove a building don't know what is going to happen so make the building flexible enough to respond to whatever happens in its lifespan and here again, a

different artistic expression of the ensemble and it is a great honor we're work with a client it is virtuosa target for this building is the - we're doing every trick we know to achieve the most sustainable building hopefully built in this country and coming back to the very first topic of san francisco's spectacular skyline our philosophy it exactly with san francisco's vision we want to be part of a team so the saddle vision we don't want to be ones that stand out but in our language be good team players in the skyline so as you can see the building realize this green is so small you may see it

slightly bettered on usual screens this is the view sideways in the background you'll see the bay bridge and the tower next to savings tower and this is at the beginning of this presentation and this is how our ocean wide tower will hopefully be respectable good new teem player in our skyline. >> thank you very much. >> i think i'm going to pass; right? huh? the community benefits yeah. >> you can do this thank you very much. >> thank you. >> down one okay. >> there we go. >> that's kind of small you

can probably see it on our screens out of seen community benefit packages generated by promotions in san francisco but i'm willing to say you haven't seen one like this the truly unique item is the community facilities district the melrose that will generate over the next thirty years $647 million those monies will be going back into transit transit being directly across the street it is really one this project is one of a limited number of buildings or projects that are part of that moll rose district the other being the savings tower across the street a member of the none of them will have the contribution as large as this i venture to say unique the rest of the impact fees are a combination of the fees that san

francisco charges generally job need to go through those downtown issues and we'll answer questions on all of them i suppose i were running the city i would be interested in the estimates of over $20 million of property tax of the sale of condominiums and other things that concludes the basic portion of our presentation as i said we have everybody here and spent a fair enough of time of questions you might try to stepping up you thank you very much i must say we're hoping to be back in a matter of months actually asking for an approval and i know that ownership is so anxiety to build this building their accelerating the construction lovely drawings

so we can go through plan check and into the ground this year. >> open up for public comment but mr. ruben commissioner johnson if this benefits page is available to us in electronic form. >> too small for you. >> i'll see if we have copies. >> i'll certainly jonas if i want to take this one. >> okay open up for public comment (calling names). >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is amanda from draining morris we represent the neighboring building owner and we sent a couple lowers one date

june 2nd and october 9th aergd concerns about the plans submitted as far i'm leaving copies and extras for everyone generally speaking the main concern is the proposed skufsh cuts as you may know mission a a very busy streets the plans to do a curve cut on mission winl that should be changed and relocated there are other access points jessie and stevenson streets mission with the transit center and the heavy pedestrian traffic and people coming off an office of the city administrator on the bridge ask you the commissioners to consider the other issue we want to raise the height i'm not sure in the

plans that the commissioners have addressed the height we want to waive that to to your attention obviously the building is extremely at all we think that might be an issue for the residents next door and also the fact i believe the plans property it jessie street will be vacated it is a public street and a side street for assessing the bay bridge and think that is shut down that will also add to other traffic concerns and i believe that was all the main issues we wanted to raise a more detailed in the letters. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> is there any additional public comment? >> sue hester graduate of

golden gate law school i spent years as a - i didn't hear the word golden gate law school or university at all today there is a university that has been right next to it 80 years golden gate has a lot of students from san francisco they have law school they have all kinds of economic programs they serve the city and i know from my experience that students flow down the area off the bus stop off of the muni to get to golden gate and huge presence in that area they're not making 3 thousand - $300,000 a year not working in high-end

tech or high-end offices their students you have to face the reality of the community golden gate is not going away they've built new buildings donning the presence on this stretch of jessie and stevenson street so their needs to be attention paid not only by the developer by this commission of who is the relationship to this project to the students, and the employees, and the university what is their schedule though do though flow 0 he threw the space if you don't talk about that you're not talking about this neighborhood you're used to dealing with commercial neighbors this is a academic institution it has to be told to

the developer you, you need to pay attention the speaker represents golden gate but have to require outreach to the student body not just the institution because there's a very active student presence dealing with our district they were a major force in dealing with cc and o mp c came through with the students that dealt with that in golden gate so my commercial is there's an educational institution within the three hundred radius and this commission has it together to it has to be dealt with they'll get the message thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> okay not seeing any, public comment is closed. >> and moving to commissioners

commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i like this project a lot and have a lot of comments i'll ask the questions first maybe the project sponsor first of all, on the jessie street closure to you have traffic from what i understand it is being replaced by a couple additional alleyways that have been activated i believe if i have it correctlyat w wh you haautomotis - am a right about the jessie street situation? good afternoon, commissioners dan with reuben, junius & rose yes. you are correct there is a change in the circulation pattern with this site the idea to close a portion of jessie

street to throw traffic that will remaform 700 to have the s assess and jessie street will be rerouted inform mission it is a good thing it stacks some of the traffic off of first street and ublgdz to matt >> thank you as you recall seeing the map there still will, automotive traffic on jessie but a round instead of coming all the way through that is much better there should be outreach to the golden gate students but it seems like it is ideal for

students studying to have a place to study and have open space as well as the space inside i will ask you don't have to answer now but raised by the attorney for the adjoining properties yeah a lot things i like to mention a few of them certainly the alley enhancement which we've already talked about the humane amount of open space that is spectacular 70 feet high i don't know what the square footage but it look high i can't remember few cities in the world vascular a space like this this is open to the public at 70 feet it is magnificent and the parks

you've created and extended the alleys make sense this makes a nice joining of the historic uses and hotel on mission street is a need rer we have a shortage of hotel space we come up with this a lot of conference are not held here because of the size of our convention center through that is getting larger and the shortage of hotel rooms for the big conventions this is a step in the right direction and the offset closer constrction make sense lee allows for the open space and allows for flexibility on the various floor plates that is what everyone wants they want the wide floor space maybe a time they wanted narrower spaces but having the course off steward allows for every of those possibility addressed the

community benefits are impressive we have a shortfall on transbay and particularly when you work for the extension of caltrans and close to 6 hundred and fifty millionaires is important towards inclusionary housing and partitioning it does a lot of gingkos i hope this is calendar in the future i know there was some conversation about the project sponsor before the application with 9 transit environmental plan but maybe other things that maybe director rahaim can answer. >> you're asking specifically about the transportation i'm sorry commission. >> in the project sponsor said one of the things before approval was to address the environmental impact i think that is a community exception

under the transtransbay plan. >> yeah. the staff mentioned that. >> that was staff okay. >> we'll be working right now on looking at the project with respect to a community planning exception that is possible because of the disposition of the transbay plan eir. >> it is still under review. >> great, thank you. >> commissioner moore. >> i think it has the ability i appreciate the ability to have an informal presentation of this project it has many interesting aspects i assume a a few weeks ago had a lot more time to spend time that would be great to have paper so our ability to fit not because i'm wearing glasses but the screen didn't show the

delinquency of what's going on next time i suggest we get a copy even this is a draft of preliminary are whatever we're able to better and fully understand a large project that covers a large amount of time territory it will be appreciated and i'll be interested in having another presentation other than the meeting on approvals to more thoughtfully follow the decisions on the public realm proposal you're making you had a limited block of time to go back and understand and not just jump on an approval that he meeting that would be great so i see what you're thinking some presentation on your engagement with talking to the small

business owners the liveness of alley has developed over the years many years ago this was a dead area harder anyone dared to go there now a thriving external or entrepreneur all i want to make sure the small business owners are part of the discussion of how we are enhancing changing or impacting the public realm i'm not passing judgment just engaging what is the next generation how we act with the alleys is important particularly i like to remind ourselves that all be office buildings and public buildings which meet the public realm have security and other issues that will not be different in this building as well we need to figure out how to make that work i'll be happy to to discuss this project with you thank you.

>> commissioner richards. >> i don't have anything yet. >> okay. >> oh, i'm sorry you're right commissioner wu. >> thanks so i want to ask for some information that i don't expect us to get into detail but at a later date so if i remember right the transit center is the plan we allocated the shadow budget to certain things thought there would be multiply buildings to shadow the park a specific allocation for a specific building. >> what you approved as a obligation based on the sites we are knew there were buildings of height this is one of those the park shadow was allocated but not allocated specified to each particular site the previous

action you took in jointly where rec and park commission 9 next step a have to say that applies to this. >> i think what all to ask for an update to that concept as a whole; right? which parks a lot, shadowed by this project and then which additional buildings in the future i think this is the first after the transit center tower the first project we've seen in that district. >> it is actually, the third. >> okay. >> if you count the 130 fremont i'm not sure this is the same track. >> so my questions the trailing building that have an additional impact and some sort of update on the affordable housing plan. >> commissioner hillis. >> so first thank you for the presentation i agree what

commissioner moore whether at the hearing we had to consider the approval at a future hearing would be good to get into detail i appreciate the project sponsors i think too often you walk around south of market as the city has grown the buildings have in many cases obliterated that so your attention to it in keeping this is greatest and keeping that intact so many businesses exist people get away from the main artery so i mean he appreciate and getting both more detail about what that space looks at and feels like what else is there the specific design the plaza structure that would be helpful i know you've

put a lot of thought into it i think i asked it is hard to get a feeling what it looks like when our in it, it, it guess an outdoor space but 7 stories i don't know in the united states there is anything quite like it so getting a better sense of how this space feels we live in relatively cool environment i imagine shaded most of time and how you are going to do work i mean it is at all enough you know it is not going to them like a small shaded space but tough to figure out how it will work and feel i'm impressed by the contrabandness of that space and significant this is i think the need for additional open space i think that in transbay we have open space this is above

the first floor and this a unique open space and figured out how they work and utilize those is important and the next week we hear 24 it would be good before or if we have an informational tattoo how this effects the prop r case we approved project but what the future looks like as far as the prop allocation and again, thank you i very much appreciate the attention 209s ground floor and the israel and how this works and the grounds so thank you. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. he too think it would be wise to have a hearing before the actual approval hearing allocate informational with the sort of written presentation that some of the commissioners maybe all of us were able to go and see 2 shows a lot more detail that is a wonderful

presentation with the marks, however, you see a little bit better the treatment of the alleys and when you see the written presentation and members of the public can see that and hopefully it will address any questions that appetite come forward and so we'll move quickly into the approval process and not have any unanswered questions this was probably a good idea and have calendar space sometime in march what it is but it will be informational at this point. >> or sooner if anything is open. >> commissioners your advanced calendar to full through march new now. >> we can add any date you'd like. >> i was looking march 17. >> yeah. that would be wise we could add it to march 17. >> make sense as far as i, see

to do something and by the time these ongoing issues with the things that need to be done can virtually be resolved and this will give us a good informational before the actual date of approval. >> i'll be some support venny think the 70 foot open lobby is unique to san francisco on the exterior sdooinlt we had conversations about signage on believes in san francisco and try to keep them light and in proportion to some degree have always pushed that light transamerica building companies challenge themselves architecturally this is - but a

big building and of significant addition to downtown san francisco i think having informational items like this more opportunity for the public to participate in that dialogue and commissioners commissioner wu. >> commissioner richards. >> sorry. >> i like the project a lot and looked at the model with the team 3 things about the approach one it is addressed to the skyline and a guest at the party that doesn't have to put a hat on its ahead and the historic preservation is incredible and the approach of future approving the building this is the fritter i've heard the term we have on the projects happens when the way the work compensations in the future and the project sponsor couldn't tell me how the building is reprogrammed i like how you said about future improving the building with my

fellow commissioners interesting to get the look and feel how it feels to walk around the project and through it we'll have 1601 mariposa you walked from one end to the other and look up and kind of see what and dealing with if you could produce one for the next informational walking in and away from it i walk towards and away would be interesting what that will be like thank you. >> commissioner antonini. >> one other benefit without saying the provision of a million square feet of office space will create the location of space outside of san francisco many concerns voiced again buses having to take san francisco residents or to office space outside of san francisco and one would think with the

municipal transportation agency of this building and the designation would be very attractive to both sides who might otherwise be elsewhere i like the design and the concept. >> okay not seeing any, further thank you very much and looking at or look forward to hearing more. >> jonas the commission will take a short break. you. okay. >> so you initiated interim controls on july 9th of last year i'll wait until the slides are up thank you. >> this is the tint of the interim controls i will highlighted to make explicit our

expectation of the abnormality and displacement the information requested a project for the sgrrmdz it to aimed to achieve exactly that the other key goal to give the department with the proposed long-term goals to the 0 crisis of affordability and displacement and aim to complete those in the springs there's been a few questions how far interim controls questions just as a remind for clarification provide new tools for evaluation and excluding projects that main didn't require the conditional uses before are the discretionary review they contact prohibit any use only the board can protective that with the moratorium vnthdz interim

controls can't increase the affordability out of current raw that is a legislative action through the board and finally you can have interim controls up to 24 most totaled but on noticeably only do them up to 18 months the proposed geography the interim controls is still the same between coastline and down to cesar chavez inside the boundary that are 17 projects to which the interim controls will play with 8 hundred plus turns out you u units not agent orange whether this is in front of you but captured within the boundary the version of the controls you saw a few important projects 22 and 19 units so there is only a

small difference of 32 unit the small projects of 69 unit fell out on the provision i'll go over the interim policy coffers the mission district is so this a supervisorial projecting proposal they were presented presented you to in july only applies to those that capture 2 projects and 48 united therefore the concerns with that original proposal will limited impact and only be meaningful it the captured projects in the pipeline and as a concern that for the size of the project there should be a consideration for small projects but any changes in the threshold should be bans an past appointee or meaningful threshold you questioned they be simplified

and any studies we require the project sponsor be as clear as possible we believe those addresses the key issues we now - the current version didn't have a grandfathering date but for the fulfilled pipeline projects that have not yielded received parklet entitlements the proposal is will 9 months instead of the original 6 and at are doing something center for example, those are might meet the property goals in the affordable housing included projects there is also what the other projects include that provide a landmark dedication and projects that have pdr in more detail the last or

reuben, junius & rose loss of ruled or rent-controlled unit trirgdz a conditional use and a one by one replacement of the units this is no in the version the sgrrmdz we are looking at as a option, however, we put in our budg there the interim controls we are building 75 thousand residential these medium sized require an conditional use authorization unless they have a conditional use requirements the large projects

greater than 75 gross square feet or are residential those projects require conditional use so both medium and large projects have to supply additional go information but the medium sized have lesser requirements and i'm going to glow the differences what we call required the studies is specific information to accompany their application note in the previous resolution you were - we had written you would make the finding related to the study now we're call it part of application medium and large projects will have to do the following have to talk about housing production, and that includes discussing the maximum allowable sdeptd the site can accommodate the density of the

proposed project in evaluating how effectively it houses the housing supply and discuss the affordable housing production 0 so whoa whatever they can be financial incentives like the state density bonus law housing preservation what things can happen on the site like occupancy and the site and rent-controlled unit what to the features it has and they have to have to talk about tenants displacement provide whether or not have evictions or buy outs thai is to discuss the two democratic changes the demographics of neighborhood and how the project will effect those and discuss the economic pressures so the provision of houses and supply and evaluate

how to affect affordability within the neighborhood talking about interact and displacement pressures and finally medium projects have to they don't have to include the last two but talk about the recent developments close to the projects in the project vicinity those are all of the information they have to provide when they are related to housing and neighborhoods now if these medium and large projects are also removing certain pdr and issues they have to provide did following non-residential information and material if they're not relocating the existing use provide the information on the impact to the community both medium and large projects have to talk about the displacement to discuss what the

existing nonprofit that will no, not think retained in the project and the connectors and how many employees they have large projects only have to discuss the following 3 they have to do the jobs and economic profile and discuss whether it is sufficient to residents in the area affordability our nonprofit childcare uses existing and proposed in the project and available space in the mission discussing where sufficient use for it exists in the neighborhood and lastly medium sized projects have to do an inventory of similar uses any other existing businesses similar to what is removed an automobile repair

shops others in the neighborhood. >> we have added a section to our resolution for required staff report this was originally required of projects we thought it was appropriate for the staff to report this foegs information this is building on what the legislative analyst produces for the hearing in june that was used for supervisor campos ordinance or a moratorium a report on affordable sites for 100 percent affordable housing so we'll taken that out in the staff proposed report are there point sites for 100 percent within the interim control area could any size be subdivided for the parcels more affordable housing and is there any financing that will be available to fund 100 percent affordable housing development in this area in the midterm.

>> that's what is in the resolution that was in automobile packet some additional changes ones thing we've heard whether the exception for land dedication should be changed instead of the medium loaned plus 10 percent whether they should be thirty percent others projects that you are doing 33 percent or goals are exempted within an onsite or offsite whether a land dedication be treated the same required to meet the medium code but whether or not the interim controls should be applied and appropriate to ask staff analysis the information submitted to you that is submitted by the project sponsor so instead of the information as present by provided the this project sponsor staff should

review the information and provide analysis in the case report very we say specific underlying language submitted to make that in the resolution finally next step you may adopt the interim controls as a reminder before w both the proposal o policy for each other and today is 6:00 p.m. on the interim controls is we urge you to take action and adopt if you think those were unbalanced and unfit for the neighborhood as director rahaim interim controls are not we'll continue that work on the long-term solution and making progress in 2020 and hope to be here in march for the draft plan for your review that concludes my presentation. i'm available to answer any questions. >> thank you opening it up for public comment

(calling names). >> hi spike connecticut neighborhood in neighbors in the neighbor in the mission there is a cut off of 25 units or more i have a list here of the developers projects that are in the pipeline there is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 of them that are 20 units and really nothing significantly between 20 and 25 but exclude 5 large units because most of the mission have to the 5 units so 20, four times bigger than your neighbor should be part of the interim controls and additionally it says that

medium projects should go into the large lp a ramp the conditional use i would much rather see it to require a conditional use is differentiation why not put the ones into the medium but not the restrictions on the large one differentiation to me and finally i was in the mission on bryant and 20 that was not the district that was 9 it was district 10 and likewise from the mission street to delores street is similarly the mission even though this is in district 8 seems like like lexington street and san carl are similar to other streets they're not similar to the castro and

definitely and divide between delores the divide been the potrero and mission i don't think that political boundaries is what we should be talking about u talking about especially district temple in the 3 it should go to dlorlgz i hope you make those 3 changes i've brought up. >> good evening rob pool speaking on behalf of the neighbors we understand where this policy is coming from and the policies surrounding is it we want to commend api all the work claude i didn't did this proposal we can't support this policy this is the first not good government allow those projects under the neighborhood plans they've performed to a code the city set

forth a lot of stakeholder engagement for a long process it is late in the game we're throwing new rules some may have produceable u trouble with that we can't support that this didn't make it easier to build affordable housing or add revenue didn't improve the process we think are trying to dhuf not mists more affordable housing for preservation for existing housing we can't see how it achieves that a lot of the questions have been addressed in the city's report from supervisor campos a couple months ago as you may know you've seen the detail things not answered in the report we know about the information and the answers 43 and finally there's a lot of good work the

city is doing and having the mission we should be focusing on 3, 100 percent affordable projects underway and get them off the ground and at least one other rfp and legislative scloourgsz solutions that are great for the mission and $50 million in the housing bond and a lot of potential with those projects and those policies and we should work on achieving those as opposed to this so we again, can't support this. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> 2011 a scott weaver if the 16 coalition a lot has changed since the eastern neighborhoods was infected we notable built

the affordable housing and fallen short by a fifth of the affordable housing production that the mr. haney envisioned and prices radio up i up and the mission is ground zero in the affordability crisis and the displacement crisis it is the area in the city where the highest eviction rate co-authored to the rent board takes place we appreciate the effort by the department and staff to try to change course or at least to look for tools that could help the department evaluate and the commission evaluate the true impact of these mooufrt development projects on those communities on this community in particular so this is the test this is the beginning of a process we're not

claiming a solution we're - there are interim controls we would like to see further we sent you each of you a letter i'm not going to try to combe labor but explicit and front and center with the department and the commission the impact that 345u6r9 development has on the demand more affordable housing we have like i said over produced market rate housing in the mission and under produced affordable housing for the this only exasperates this problem and finally discussion of basis for the disapproval of a housing project i looked at the stated government code it is true the language that appears in the proposal here mirrors it in

part, however, this language didn't that apply to projects that are not compatible with the general plan i also looked at 40 through the planning code no reference to any of this in the planning code and no reference to the criteria of any of the interim controls that were passed by the board of supervisors or the planning commission not saying it hadn't happened not seen it but not the necessity if you do i think by qualifying it has to be compatible with the adjourning general plan and the heath standards should include those so forth in the eastern neighborhoods plan community health assessment thank you.

>> high my name is susan i'm also with the plazas 16 coalition i want to pick up where scott left off in the request interim controls for dispassively a of projects the vice president has to have obtained with the health and safety standards it two that sets the bar higher the discretion the commission has to reject proposals and that is lift from stailt but the sales force requires a project be in compliance with the general plan and the housing element of the san francisco general plan has 9 policies to maintaining the unique and diversifies the

commission is the latino population is under siege if things continue at the current rate the mission as a cultural contribution to the city is going to be gone i would urge or urge to insert language to requires the project to be consist with the housing adjoin plan many months in the making and paying attention to it the other point i want to mention something it is not added in the interim controls i hope it will happen later this is the value of having planning department staff at preapplication meetings for all projects would be valuable to put that in the interim controls i i have to tell you right now those preapplication meetings e meetings are performa and somewhat meaningless there are two problems one of the

community is dependent on the information about the project and it is basically just a pr show they don't answer questions and to be frank not answering questions honestly some is stating and some is distribute i deliberate misrepresentation if planning department staff were there they wouldn't have to take sides in the battle if may gone i this it would curve the developers impulse to misrepresent their projects so i want to thank you after all you and will mrach and the planning commission is really making is sincere effort to take the housing crisis seriously and i want to encourage you to continue in that vein and emphasis the fact we need a drastic course direction if we

do not want to lose this give me of a neighborhood thank you. >> good morning, commissioners peter culture action network i want to pick up on the idea to start with about eastern neighborhoods plan that we are currently in the midst and you are as well i for one am interested what some of the data will show where we are we're underlying blind do know where we are i want to thank the planning department for coming forward and trying to be pro-active about what we can do to mitigate those crisis we're in the middle of and we're in a crisis the mission is one of the centers of this crisis the eastern neighborhoods plan is our governing document on this

moment but to me in serious need of review and this will be one of many ways and i think you'll have additional tools to discuss how are we are doing in the advisory committee of the information from this review i think that these reports in here a crucial to look at what kind of san francisco mission we are going to have a great set of tools for you to discuss what are the actual impacts and how they're affecting the community i do hope in addition to that for the discussion of the language that you will when needed look at that those reports and finding and will use our discretion to say hey this project didn't meet the needs of community and for whatever language end up i think that public safety and

safety is a aspect under the general guidelines under the reports you'll have leeway i want to highlight a couple of areas i think are needed to remain or be expanded in order for the controls to be fiscal i think the size of the projects are crucial that they stay in here i think this is the focus of where development especially in the conversions come online 26 missions and 19, 241 mythical that is all keep on coming radically we're aware that is what is going on and accumulative impacts is climatic change a one 50 unit is not the same put them together we're in

trouble i want to support the recommendations susan made of having planning department staff at the meetings would help to get the process off to a stable start and also the language i want no negative impacts on the need for affordable housing added thank you, sir. >> good afternoon, commissioners john residents of san francisco i personally oppose the interim controls on the basis that it makes it harder and more difficult for the nonprofit developers in the mission to actually produce affordable housing unit and we all know that the mission is really a great location to create withholding affordable units within the project and we can build the maufrtsdz

somewhere it makes it harder to get the developers instead to build those in the mission the community needs thank you. >> okay (calling names). >> hi, i'm marie with the quatro and the mission is in crisis people are thrown out the soul of the neighborhood is dying and you're getting overseeing home sharings high-rises coming in we're a middle-income some upper closing class and lower class owners we join together to celebrate the festivals and parades that

happen in the mission you claim that the new building all the buildings that come are just an added bonus but not the case you get refresh your memory stamping projects that are basically harming the mission for example, i went to a meeting over on chavez for a 6 story building on wednesday and, yes we need to have a member planning there to break through the bull crap the developers are telling us they want to be it further resolved build a 6 story building that is essentially not a long block that will block all the sunlight from everybody's backyard on the backside of the building which those buildings are only two and three stories how is that positively impacting the mission

and what are they supposed to do the people that are already live there? and another one 2918 to 24 mythical once again at 6 story with the deck on top the building the person wanting to build it is that owns the building lessons in south is a let he finds the projects that block views but oh, he's ready to build here off yes, it's ridiculous same thing with the lennar building we need to keep the moratorium and expand it those projects really have a hulk negative impact on the life of the neighborhood for example, the recent condominium that were built

along harrison their trying to form committees they can't be bothered they don't like the noise and want the people there they want a quiet neighborhood if at the wanted that they shouldn't are move forward there because harrison will stage age area in the mission sthang same thing with the la vest they're trying to shut down the bars and restaurant along the streets they're making too much noise these bars and restaurants have been there are no years i ask you to think about this we need more controls. >> good afternoon. i'm lou also with the quatro i back up everything this marie has to say i'm not going to be as specific

but want to make clear i added addressed you guys on a number of occasion we want the interim controls to be as strong as possible and want them to be as much as possible and we're clear i guess one point we've had controls late night 18 months i know you're considering 9 i know one thing i'll suggest you do make that 18 months we see this as another tool that we have in the neighborhood in terms of working towards affordable housing and working to preserve the character of the neighborhood we think that is sending a message we know it is not a solution we'll still be working with the board of supervisors we will be working in a way we can but we did appreciate the policy statement

and we do want to see the interim controls we think that will be one additional tool we will have we can use as we try to do something about those problems of affordability in the mission and in the process i really want to thank the planning commission staff they've been working hard and coming up making changes and coming up are one thick after another and i also appreciate the time the commission itself has given to very important issue so once again make those as strong as you can and extend them not just 9 months but to the 18 months thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon and happy new year commissioners my name is andy blue i'm the president of

the coalition and a 10 year residents of the district i want to thank the planning department and staff for bringing up this forward and working with folks from the community to refine this i want to highlight a couple of things we insist that the mid sized project multiplication remain included we've looked at the projects being proposed in the pipeline and if we eliminate the projects from the interim controls the interim controls will essentially be insignificant and not effect very few if any projects significantly we insist the mid sized projects remain and want to echo the previous request that the controls be 18 months instead of 9 months we need more

9 months to figure out things in the admission and create a plan i also want to echo the request that in the sgrimdz or interim controls be a - at the preapplication meetings again, i've been to those mergers they're more pr opportunities than actual informative meeting and that would be helpful if planning staff were there to answer questions in a more honest and interested manner i think that the existing planning code offers a lot of tools even about the interim controls and i know that it does and thank you for the interim controls also a plea to make

certain that you can comply with the existing planning code that requires a project shows it's by the people to the neighborhood and not disadvantage the existing character of the neighborhood a number of projects that have been approved it does not meet the criteria and the community needs you to enforce that the community needs you to make sure that projects do not hurt the existing community the existing character existing culture and a clear prosper for the neighborhood the interim controls are thank you very much have a nice day. >> is there any additional public comment? >> thank you, commissioners

commissioner johns and steve for mary cell first of all, it was interesting that the list of projects that the interim controls was handed out with one correction only two projects left on that list where you're not already already having discretionary hearings for those projects the disburses or interim controls are unnecessarily every one of the projects will be coming to for fda approval it will be ignite position to take into consideration when o you hear those projects already i do want to commend the staff for making the distinction between medium sized projects and larger projects this is burdensome a money is 50 to

$70,000 it is not have to do an additional use but part of lp a process and want to support the suggestion that was made by claude i didn't that projects that are considering a land dedication be disbursement from the landing at least 33 percent affordable housing on the site we understand that many things in the mission is land for withholding projects we want to encourage the people to - prop a had a set citywide store the mission about $50 million in planned landing four affordable projects and encourage you to encourage project sponsors to consider the land dedication and needed the land dedication 33 percent of the site not penalize

them you'll discourage people from a land dedication thirdly, if you are going to adopt the interim controls i hope you'll extend the policy one set of controls and maybe combroirl maybe contrary and i commend the staff for the affordability act that is state law that does provide under which you can disapprove projects and it is important we want to recognize the state law be explicit in the interim controls stated thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> good afternoon, commissioners shawn residential builders association

we heard a lot about affordability and as unthinkable about displacement the two serious issues we have in front of us but i've two main points to make one is to appoint the timing the challenge in front of us is compounded because the crisis we hear about the displacement, the eviction those are real life problems happening right now but in contrast the production of housing the adoption of area plans the process of previewing houses takes year i can complain all i want and you guys feel the same thing there is years there is no microscopic answer we have to do this in a way that balances the timeline the good

news it is one piece of a larger puzzle and hope that can be explained would be small piece it zoning and bigger piece the mission 2020 plan a bigger piece it tic evictions a bigger piece is dealing dealing the ellis act and unit mergers a complex conversation for whatever reason you guys are the fiesht because things are on tv i'm not sure what the issue but everyone loves to come this commission i wish the enthusiasm will spread 0 the other parts the city family it will take the strength to address and tackle this problem staff has had a very difficult time challenge dealing with this

and no winners or legislatures it is just a very complex problem and i hope we can take from it 80 these two points a timing issue we have to do doing everything we can and respectfully how long it takes to create housing this is not our area plan not our eastern neighborhoods, this was done to a serious of hundreds of meetings and hundreds of hours of community didn't need to be adjusted everyone agrees we need the change it takes time change is happening it is a small piece of the bigger puzzle thank you. >> sorry if there are people that want to speak line up on this side of room that would be great. >> i working for - i want to

thank first, the staff on the planning department this is a long comprehension we heard from the planning department they introduced the interim controls after a hundred thousand of refuge in the mission they didn't catch up all the projects in the mission and things that are happening in the mission we are talking this is a precisely we know the this is a tool that merits the project and for the and community members that advocate more affordable housing this is a tool we want to use for seeing every project they are providing in terms of affordable housing we are innovate stopping the project we are going to continue the conversation to see what else we can get that i will be happy to

go to any of the practicing those meetings the association and thinking what they're building is for our community it is in the for our community not for what they build the units their trying to present i also was a part of eastern neighborhood plan we've been changing the rules the consideration housing i'd like to change the rules some is no a house, ways, and means committee we're seeing ore people are not able to live in the city 8 latinos in the last year were out of the mission and people that used to live in the city didn't live here we don't have the teachers to supply all the position in the school district no place they can afford to live in san francisco and we need a strong acts we we

encourage our leadership to do the right thing we need to push a little bit more and this is what san francisco is known for we encourage you to do more and create i want to finish with we always say in the community you have a responsibility to plan for the people and all for the people only. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon commissioner president fong and other honorable members of the commission my name is a jose gomez a lifelong residents i have handout here it is in regards to a recent 311 notice i got 3 days ago and i was looking

at the meeting and rushed down here and put something together this explicit address some of the bigger issues in your projects that are going on which are extremely important as well but it deals more with the concerns of several neighborhoods particularly on the east side with the decisions and also as i heard a previous speaker a lot of the projects take into consideration inclusively the zoning laws and community don't address the second part of housing plan which is neighborhood character and existing housing i think those things are very, very important in particular to the mission district where there is so many small sfamentsz that are on either rh2 or rh3 lots as i found out on any block it is

a.com nothing effect this is the second almost ideal cottage that is now well - ulceration if you could see the second page the handout what it is and what is going to be it is go, in fact, a demolition i haven't studied the percentages or what the plans are anything it is fairly new and i'm smichlt it will an as an example of what is going on the planning department staff needs a little bit more description from you particularly in the preservation the existing housing and neighborhood character percentage has to weigh on projects like this this is one of many in our neighborhood that is happening so you know, i wanted to brought to your attention and also thank you once again i've been before

this board this board was instrumental of local heros like sue hester in mitigating others projects similar to this one i brought bra and thanks for the workra and thanks for the work and thanks for the woand tk you do. >> sue hester i'm glad to go after my client i want to direct your attention to page 2 of the staff report where there is a list of all of the resolutions the planning department has most of planning department staff a board of supervisors have adopted on the mission i've been dealing with this for 20 years straight we had a big

battle in the mid 90s for which decimated not only pdrs built housing hundreds of dollars unit of housing that were not one was affordable so the planning commission has done not evil dirt by the mission by not paying attention to the changes heaping one of the things that that would be helpful how what would the mission describe when you start the emeralds plan who is it the mission and what housing were projected in terms of income level for the housing because the plan was adopted in december of '08 guess what we've had pardon me 898 we've had amazing changes in that 98

we have had recessions a lot of vest on housing in the community and we've had google buses from santa fe to make amuse salaries to come into the mission so we've had people make serious suggestions and what you should actually have a staff person at every meeting they're checking off the box of names their defective to say at at least and staff has to learn with the developers are saying the standards to apply are just as important as having a hearing a hearing without staff really knowing what the content of the area plan is what the consent of the general plan, what the conditional use standards are

not a hearing it is going through the motion we've had a lot of that in the city so i would basically is a you have your operating on an eastern neighborhoods area plan that is magnificentlyly 0 up to date it is based on false information not the reality of the mission right now if you have a plan that talks about massive displacement and you need to address it in the eastern neighborhoods plan you can't do that thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> general public comment on this item not seeing any, public comment is closed. >> director rahaim. >> thank you i want to first of all, thank everyone for coming i want to just say a couple of things particular to the folks in the missions we've been meeting being and i know
