and is illegal sir not to interrupt you can only speak to the matter of continuance. >> that's what i'm doing so it was illegal and not properly permitted and i can show you the plans if you're interested but the bottom line is we've gone through an numerous time and effort and expense in terms of opposing this matter and we find out the 11th hour it was all illegal in the first place they shouldn't be allowed to stay in line in the cue instead we believe they should you should take up the dr and deny the permit and not allowed to pull this they're attempting to say that the roof deck had been permitted that's what they told the commission it had not and shouldn't be allowed

to stay in line but get to the back of the line. >> thank you, sir. >> i'm in port of denying the permit. >> jonas can i ask staff for clarification on that. >> good afternoon, commissioners david lindsey of department staff and found out this morning the issue was raised the staff regarding the legitimate of the question the legitimate of the deck of the elevator would assess and it does look like this is the case but staff wants to needs to investigate this fully and which is why we're asking for the continuance thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is a dick and i which is in this

room 12 years ago when a similar project like the one that is being proposed. >> speak closer into the mike. >> did you hear what i said i'm sorry. >> yes. >> a rooftop elevator penthouse was proposed and the discretionary review and is commission you turned it down we are again face with what we're faced with a similar project but on the roof our team spent many hours and a fair amount of money you have to put forth a discretionary review and we do not understand how the project can come up again for the very same project that was turned down 12 years ago thank you. >> thank you. >> is there any additional

can be easily resolved but not sure of the amount of time that is required we've not requested a date ask the commission continue this matter to let us resolve this matter thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> i'm sorry sir. >> sir, you've already spoken. >> rebuttal. >> no rebuttal commissioner moore are we commenting. >> you can or make a motion. >> we get instructions from the city attorney this is not unusual and i'm comfortable to continue this i mean, i can't get in the middle that have who said what and when but it is an our error the best way the department recommends. >> commissioner antonini. >> just one i'm in favor of continuance wondering why this is up at the last minute the

plans were out for a while not understanding why it is not discovered at an earlier time with possible corrections brother this hearing and david lindsey from the planning staff i wish i could give you a good we are it was simply missed. >> thank you they've been a lot of controversy an decks and penthouses and things but menu when a whatever it is i'd like move to continue indefinitely as well as continuing the other item which is. >> item 9. >> item 9 to march 24. >> thank you, commissioners commissioners, if there's nothing further on the question of matter of continuance item 7 indefinitely and item 9. >> commissioner antonini. >> commissioner hillis commissioner moore

moderate category and the bay area goals 16 percent for moderate housing that's one of the reasons we seem to have a disappearance of the mid-market middle-income citizens we have to find ways to build both market-rate and inclusionary housing that is in the price rage it what about afforded by people of this income level. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> 3 things quickly pursue i had the occasion to have brings or drinks with a pro housing member of a group called behave i want to pick their brain it was interesting as we started the conversation several things p that really hit home on some of the things i've been on the

bandwagon on one was health issues causalities is housing social justice and equality it made any ponder wow. a lot of stoeshl policy objectives that a lot of us share citizens of san francisco, however, the way to achieve those differ i think when i told people to take a step back and dial i saw common ground on some of the irks amongst the differs group on the progressive side and the liberal side we share in common i i want to put that out there and on my way from meeting with sarah jones to the side the 460 side i walked through soma and noticed

i was in a contest with the design guidelines i was trying to pay attention to what the buildings looked like and there were a lot of building built in the 90s that were absolutely not standing the test of time aging terrible and there's one building specific and corner of 18th street and howard i don't know if it is the affordable housing site but it is falling apart and a lot of buildings that stood the test of time some are building in a alley i saw much earlier in the century i got down to the one of 0 fulsome a darker invade looking project i entered the waterfront the aluminum a in a and a couple of things on the i

looked at the design guidelines the building on the fulton street side is terrible looks like a canister of cleaner when was dropped in the block 9 color is black it looks like something that belongs on another planet and look at the design guidelines one of the recommendations not have lives believes that are black i hope we don't have one i saw the inequity site i saw a great building and designed by another architect but even the towers is 4 hundred feet that is considered i guess here in height for across the street it works for me open space and setback and the public realms is engaging is the first of a

couple of stories a can of cleaner dropped on the street so i want to let you know pay attention to this as a layman and try to understand what looks at good and what doesn't the last point is in today's chronicle 2015 was the hottest year an record and it was in the history since the temperatures were recorded i came to the back of the paper and saw sarah jones had a editorial in the paper about the way we'll be calculating the effect of transportation in eirs so we'll be going from the level of service whether an intersection functions well, for cars to vehicle in travel that gets at point of environmental impact and not penalize something that

is encouraging scrawl slool as soon as possible we get that implemented that will be a good change loophole read that it is a great piece that sarah jones wrote thank you. >> commissioner moore i wanted to report to the commission we had a meeting on the pennsylvania and 22 street building that this department proved and tinting intent and asked to ay design of certain elements and i think in the end that meeting turned out to be constructive and forward-looking we'll continue to tend to it a site and obvious but i'll report it as a positive meeting. >> commissioner antonini. >> just a point of information correct me if i am wrong i walk a lot of the same places where

commissioner vice president richards walked both infinity were designed but the same architect so i'm not sure the dashth invade is the next building in the area not up to. >> right next to each. >> not the same architect commissioner commissioners, if there's nothing further department matter director's report. >> thank you good afternoon, commissioners a couple of items today, i chaired the first meeting the housing working group with the mayor's task force the charge of this particular drop out group to look at the effects of any changes on pipeline projects we had a very good turn out 35 people commissioner vice president richards attend we

appreciate that and having a series of quickly follow-up scheduled meetings in order to try to make recommendation within about 4 weeks in that process secondly, as you may know there were several potential ballot measures put forth one to housing and one proposed by the mayor to require the department and the controller's office to do a study of the increasing the inclusionary fees and would then substantially require us to do a similar study every two years the measure put forth by supervisor kim and other board members would change the current provisions in the charter to require a because of 25 percent inclusion and would allow the board to there that but not below 25 percent in 25 years. >> so we are looking at those

these are not - they're still changes that would be made to this ballot measure not officially on the ballot they have to the first week in march to make changes or remove them from the ballot in it the a the city attorney stacey to tell you what we can and cannot do it changes once officially on the ballot. >> thank you director commissioners kate stacey from the city attorney's office as you all remember the commission certainly has an objective and an impartial presentation of the fact or measures but for the measures that are while they're pending before the board and the mayor's murray and any measures submitted by the supervisors has

a hearing at the full board so until that hearing occurs or the in the case the charterer amendment to put it on the ballot city resources may be used to advocate to the board and the mayor to either pass or not pass the charter amendments or men, women, and children amend the charterer amendment to the 4 members of the board of supervisors who signed the measure or mayor to withdraw their signatures or measure once the measure is on the ballot the city employees can't advocate to the board or officials anytime to the voter to vote before and after but advocate to the board or mayor to withdraw the measure that is so forth in a memo our office

regularly provides to the last one was dated september 8, 2015, i'm happy to get you copies of that for those hearings. >> thank you commissioner antonini. >> so until such time 0 a as on the ballot weigh comment obtain the issues i have a procedural question i know that when the amendments are placed by petition that requires a significantly higher number of signatures what is the bottom line as far as the board of supervisors placing a charter amendment how many supervisors to put it on the ballot and how many signatures if b by the public to be passed. >> i believe a majority vote but i'll have to circle back with you. >> thank you.

>> commissioner vice president richards. >> a point of clarification i show up monitored on the meeting on not the charter but an amendment and the board by 40 supervisors on the charter members as an individual that's okay. >> i want i can show up and identify myself as an individual. >> can i share commissioner vice president richards i'll need to talk to our political activity attorneys about that i'm not sure i think you can probably can but i need to talk to the political activity attorneys about that and get back with you. >> appreciated that. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further we can move on to item 4 past fences the board of appeals and the historic preservation commission there notice inform board of supervisors the zoning

administrator ask i reading a report from him regarding the board of appeals the board heard 35 appeals for the contest accomodation, llc the appellants have a signed permit for 35 locations, however, the permits self-meet the definition that were amended by that interim controls in 2014 and proximity controls in 2013 the appellant didn't modify the permits so the permits were denied the appellant which had entered into a settlement to have's the enforcement argued they shouldn't be subject to the definition the settlement live all the time states it is subject to the controls and in a, in fact, at the time of review the board anonymously denied the appeal the historic preservation commission did meet yesterday

and one item of interest is the legacy business legislation at the life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness discussed and reviewed the process within office of small business commission representatives from supervisor campos and supervisor peskins office the goal to device a process for the commission and the historic preservation commission to review applications in a timely manner with minimum burden on applicant the only other item that was commission commissioner president wolfram and commissioner hyland were going re-elected for a second term if there are no questions we move on to general public comment at this time, members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission except agenda items. with respect to agenda items, your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the item is

reached in the meeting. each member of the public may address the commission up to three minutes. i do w have one speaker card. >> thank you georgia. >> good afternoon i'm here to say something about the affordable housing program i would like you to vice listed paris i assume you've been there paris is used as something to strive for and i understand that but i think that is an incorrect comparison and analog you see going through the heart of city and the bridges it's a wonderful what can and the van house mammal cutting the boulevards through the city creating the large blocks of current buildings that were designated to be a certain size their large blocks and uniform the deems the

window treatment to human scale small not those large blocks of glass we're seeing today and then the most important thing the street pattern beyond the boulevards that he said in plazas beautiful open space not a grid at right angles a spider web we're a grid of right angles maybe those buildings maybe 6 or 4 stories look better in a city like paris you mannered around not seeing a straight lines of block i didn't buildings not the same lot size and 20 or 50 in most cases i don't want to be blind by creating a paris i think you know it is worthy to look at paris but not a correct

analog and just to finish i guess i know there should be concern over the rh1 and rh2 and rh1 and rh2 in noah valley i'm only focusing on i'm not sure about another areas the other question about enforcement it is hard to enforce the airbnb legislation how are you gouge do enforce how it is a possible to enforce the idea there - these will be given affordable housing you know and the different economic brackets i've not seen that on the website maybe ms. on the environmental impact report this is i wanted to think about paris and vices lists and understand that as compared to san francisco that was known as paris of the west thank you very

much. >> fellow commissioners i'm tony vice president of the boosters neighborhood association i want to mention concerns about the department staff and the bonus program i'm getting copies of e-mails one of the members reached out to the department asking about you know is the community in bayview how much of the program will be impacted and she was told by an e-mail in the first page it has happened at the boyfriend citizens advisory committee earlier this month on the 6 at the booster we received no notice of meeting and that's the cca not a lot of people supposed to be 12 it but vacancies and no appointment a cac is not the

same of a meeting unless they advertise to the public not on agenda for the january he meeting post on the website we have no idea home people were there no responded so that's not the same as a community meeting for how much of this is happening no bayview is a problem at at the same time no community meeting in bayview the same staff was reaching on a private e-mail to the bayview federation i'm sure you're familiar with those guys political advocacy in development at all costs they've been regulars in this room i know you're familiar with that they have a special meeting onramp tuesday at kirston's request a private e-mail hey we

would like to introduce this program additional a response i'll quote planning is really, really keen on the ah d passing on the day at the end of the day planning knows who we or so planning staff knows who behavior is but not bayview in this program that's an obvious double standard and confusion of planning and political work it is not an accident this is done on an private established e-mail when the commissioners 1/3rd of to program about happen in the bayview is their decision about what they'll do african-american issues and the black property owns the only way to get ahead is by selling your property it

is one of the value as on property only when it is redeveloped it pertains to the bias of the program thank you, commissioner commissioners. >> good afternoon, commissioners peter cohen in the housing organization i thought i'll take a moment to tell you we had written a piece a couple of weeks ago look ating the data how much housing the city has produced and it was fascinating i'd like to participate in a followup briefing that you calendar if this is the opportunity with staff but we hear a lot of the narrative in the media and other places we simply are not building enough housing we're failing to build housing if you

actually look at the data your department has put out not drortd is a relatively recent pipeline update 24 commission approved nearly 4 thousand unit of housing last year and more pled 35 hundred those calculations still happening and the same thing the 35 hundred units whatever but the only other time the city has seen that production since 1963 we are in a new era this idea we've been sitting on our hands as at policymakers and do nothing is false and i want to encourage you folks to look at the data that your department produces and family-friendly feel pride you are right here this city commission generation of planning commissioners who

have looked at more volume of housing than in any other time in the last 5 decades that's a lot of work and you're probably exhausted but certainly don't let folks convince you you've been moving two slowly or taking too much time or overall approvals are not important it's a bureaucracies take the time director rahaim as part of work to squeeze it down not push three or four thousand units of housing it's a lot of production congratulations and for us and the housing world is be matter much, much more who that housing going goes more o for so the balance of the dashboard helping help us understand the diversity

that is art of a a little bit of a correction we'll be happy to participate in a workshop. >> is there any additional public comment? >> okay not hearing or seeing any public comment is closed. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> i know to mr. kelly's comment staff a breaking a leg trying to get out, etc. if whether go intentional or not the office could appear bad and i'll encourage if you have the time to especially in the potrero hill some of the potential of development. >> we're happy we went to the b.a. cac at supervisor cowen's request thank you. >> okay next item, please. >> very good commissioners commissioners, that places you under your regular calendar case

2015 this is a planning code amendment to redefine the amendment. >> good afternoon ride share manager of legislative foyers this is this item i'll continue my presentation. >> supervisor mar you a good afternoon, everyone i wanted to start by saying this has been a several year process with these a great working group that emry rogers and the planning department and my staff nick and others convened over pretty good period of time this legislation before you a simple solution to a problem that emerged in 2013 and 2014 we were looking at a couple of

instances updating the formula retail use this is a narrow issue of the suby spin-offs i want to say this proliferations of formula retail before us has been acknowledged in different community from north beach to hayes valley and other places to the fillmore street corridor and other places last year or actually in 2014 when we the comprehensive overall or overhaul we involved the stakeholders in that process i think that we were able to find consensus with city staff and the various neighborhood successors to many others to strengthen our city's formula retail use controls that as on or about that we all committed to putting our heads together a complex issue before the working group and will focus on this issue i want to say the working

group included 7 neighborhood organizations and 7 business groups and representatives national retailer rep and two pull officials office of economic workforce development and a local residents and a real estate industry rep as well but a lot of back and forth and compromises on both sides i want to acknowledge kate stacey and a lot of give and take if both sides and near narrowly tailored to meet the issue we're addressing i wanted to p is that the legislation is merely crafted and captured the spin-off only corp spin-offs and go through a conditional use once they open 3

places worldwide and won't effect 9 super duper and others that started out as independent businesses until they reach the 11 outlet threshold as well i want to say that good 3 criteria that define subsidiary 50 percent of more stocks with shares or similar that establishment is owned by an existing formula retail use or the parents of on existing formula retail use and number 2 there are 3 or more other retail establishment in operation anywhere in the world 3 global warming then this process kicks in and 3 that the retail establishment maintains 3 or more the features as defined by the planning department and planning commission for the

standardized color scheme and uniform apparel and sniej a trademark or serve mark since the time we introduced this in july of last year, we've had further input on a number of issues that i'm planning to introduce some amendment language and one that coming out came out of the members of the working group is the concern about yet another will that we're trying to close that where some trying to gain the system or the talent process might try to like that. >> in as what we call that slip in as individual so as a result we're drafting an amendment so that if addressing the possibility of formula retail business are vetting the definition by an affiliated person i believe the owner the business defining the type of ownership but hope to have that

language soon and nonsense to the staffing capacity i know we took it seriously so lemons e recommendations out of working group and thank you to supervisor president london breed office cox for participation but in response to the capacity concern the working group the planning staff not required to validate a subsidiary so sign an affidavit they're not a formula retail to code and working on crafting the language that will bring it forward when we come to the land use committee and also the staff report is i think dismissive of the sub religious so a small percentage but given the example of the gap that opened in 2011

with the san francisco mini store they rapidly expand to over 60 i'm not sure how many there are but looking at 9 trends of chance as far as they are concerned, and formula retail their looking at the strategies and we are on the cutting-edge to have something that really protects the balance of economic businesses in neighborhoods and protecting our city from being overrun by strip mauling mall type of cultures and too much of the imbalance could be if we don't set controls like this lastly i want to say that working with our working group i learned a lot the give and take process we updated the comprehensively the chance store and formula retail uses controls that is an example of almost near consensus with the expectation of one person

but we work on the planning staff concerns they've raised but please support this legislation it is important, important the whole city and the neighborhoods as well thank you >> thank you. >> we may have questions at the end of the presentation if any no. >> i wanted to thank gay if a and emry rogers for your participation. >> thank you. >> excuse me. the promoted ordinance will amend the interim controls to formula retail which supervisor mar has outlined illicitly i'll not go over again, the commission any remember in 2004 a study to examine the current department of human services for a myriad of proposals from the board of supervisors the department used the data in the report so analysis existing policy and

controls to determine whether the changes to the process the the result amended the city's formula retail uses 24 was effect in 2014 one issue that was not addressed was the issue of formula retail subries in order to get a better understanding supervisor mar formed a working group made up of twov individuals the working group never came to a concession how it should be regulated the contents led to the drafting of the ordinance the item before you today, the department consistently stated the regulation of subries we made our concerns known the planning department strongly support regularly formula retail use to

have the unique character of our neighborhood the planning department as has been regularly the formula retail and open to the county regulation, however, the department is concerned that that will set a procession for ownership rather than the impacts like the other uses in the planning code the department is concerned with this ordnance about put a burden and not effectively enforce what is relative a small problem as the report found only three or four subries in the city this form of regulation is a form of expertise the department didn't have investigating with the ownership structure and finally, the department is concerned this plaza regulation on businesses in locations than businesses in league of women locations based on the lengthness of them to expand we

tried to find ways through amendments or proposing an approach we said through ordinances the supervisors are responding to the concerns the constituents and want to be aware of concerns therefore it is a warrior for the department to remedy the approval, however, given the concerns the department recommendation is for disapproval that concludes my remarks i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> >> okay thank you opening it up for public comment we have some speaker cards. >> dee dee workingman and paul weber and others. >> susan speaking i speak so far the. >> next speaker. >> polk association and speak

for the polk street or polk area merchant association we are strongly in favor of the proposal to limit subries a 8 hundred pounds gir rely that is trying to get to into the second street neighborhood the merchant make up the personality of polk street and strongly in favor of the proposal. >> thank you. >> good afternoon dee dee we've been working on the formula retail use for many many years i served on commissioner mondejar's formula retail subsidiary working group and no formula retail retails with subries on the working group i can tell you that not my

strongest urging we get super duper burger to join that group i think they missed the first couple of meetings and were not able to go but no problem that exist in san francisco regarding the subries and formula retail uses that that is not agreed open and navigate a problem where subrisidiarieubsidiaries. >> in the you know the planning department commissions study in 2014 that shows that that less than 3 percent of retails in san francisco are subsidiaries of formula retail and if you look at the neighborhood commercial district that number is much less without regulation you can see the

subries are not prolificing and it was last week this was a solution in place of a problem we don't have that problem and don't anticipate that problem but most importantly most importantly teams e attempts to regulate the land use laws that regulate the - spruce the economic competition that is illegal and unenforceable under the planning code we at the chamber ask you to uphold this and disapprove that legislation thank you. >> game-changer folks i have a letter i submitted a few days ago in case you haven't seen it

i'm sam the president of the telegraph hill and here on behalf of the ph.d to support did formula retail subsidiaries amendments that were promoted by supervisor mar we believe they're close on intensity retail spin-off will that in the protections and it will remain there until you fix it if they're not closed by the action taken here and by the board they'll remain and the effectiveness of the protections embedded in the formula retail provisions will be vulnerable to buys u abuse those security guard north beach and other special places through the city they protect and preserve the special blend of small-scale local businesses and there are enjoyed by san franciscans and

the visit that come to us to throughout the world we support the formula retail we also have the original legislation in 2004 to the prohibition of formula retail stores in north beach until 2004 and supervisor mar's strengthening controls in 2014 and again, today we're here to strongly support the amendments that supervisor mar has brought forward we think those amendments are necessary to prevent existing parents formula retail businesses from side stepping formula retail controls by creating new spin-offs designed to avoid those controls we urge you to support supervisor mar's amendments particularly his incorporation of the exclusive language he has proposed here today thanks.

>> good afternoon kathleen north beach business association i'll also a member the small business commission but i'm not speaking for them today, i want to thank supervisor mar so far bringing this legislation times have changed and so must the planning code to reflective when is going on in 2014 this was not the issue it is becoming today, i was part of the planning group that spent time we vetoed it and voted democratically i can say on one person who voted against that that would be the chamber of commerce we worked on it together and revised it and had the city attorney to vet it and out-of-towner turn around to

say this this is disingenuous for the hard work with qualified people did on the issue you know this process is only to narrowly capture the companies that parent is clearly a structure that only creates formula retail we're not talking about super duper or local people that do well and move forward we're talking about people that athletic opens they have a huge formula retail presence online they have a huge formula retail presence in catalogs if that is what you are fine apply for a cu and we'll move forward this is a reasonable thing to ask and it is enforceable and we ask you to honor the hard

work of the qualified people that spent very much time on this thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is a paul weber the toovl delegate to the san francisco neighborhoods i too worked on the working group organized by supervisor mar and added that worked on some of the drafting of the materials that are before you today give you a little bit of background what brought that about the discussion was about that subsidiaries and indeed concern for that will that at the same time, a discussion turned it's attention to budding formula retail or some formula

retail a circumstance the brooks broths has more than 11 stores so for it venal stores is now start a new line not the same common features as the vegetational stores only a or even comfortable line not the features that were putting them into the same group but clear what the brooks brothers have in mind they're going to start another line assuming successful and not stop at 2 the language that is proposed today would pickup what i'll call the budding sons of formula retails once they hit the number 3 and to avoid the circumstance where the budding formula retail

are engaged to the real formula retail enterprise by nothing more than a franchise we've extending expanded the definition one is a affiliated person of formula retail and has which has common features with two other organizations then the rules apply and as people have said not about super duper or even phil's coffee but about large organizations who is business plan a multiple stores with with the gap or athletic can or something else we urge to support supervisor mar's amendments today thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is

a andrew rush i hadn't intended to speak but unfortunately, the name super duper is four or five types i work for super duper their 3 stores in san francisco that is the key 3 and we have 10 stores in california if someone is saying this doesn't effect super duper i disagree i did research what was the strongest they know to say to you guys how this impacts super duper i looked at the 3 stores in san francisco and thought maybe the labor number of people that two work there a good impact and thought that would cough accompany with 70 we have over

that one hundred this is would jeopardy expansion we have plans for here in the city i urge you to reject this thank you. >> commissioners thank you for your time i'm samantha representing the golden gate he was part of the working group maybe the forgotten no vote and i know folks were against the what we wake up what i'm urging to ask the board of supervisors to disprove the restaurant business is complicated we've talked about super duper they have 10 locations with other restaurants like many are you

think not affiliated are super duper so by overregulating the subries that represent a small percentage of this we run the risk of -- strike that super duper i've heard the concern that san francisco will turn into a big city of mcdonald's, however, we have formula retail regulations to prevent this and again restauranteur ownership is complicated you may not be aware they own fox city dinner and others so should a small business want to have 11 locations it triggers the formula retail, however, opening up 3 other businesses should trigger the formula retail control staff ask do this move forward to will be two difficult to administer we can't regulate those on ownership we urge to

follow their recommendations thank you for your time. >> thank you. is there any - >> good afternoon peter kooelg as citizen private citizen i am in the upper market area and had the pleasure in 2004 for working on the original legislation i was in hayes valley at the time and seen as landmark legislation as you may know san francisco is is he top of the heap in formula retail nationwide and updated in 2014 and supervisor mar took the lead in strengthening the legislation with modern times and one piece was trailing legislation this is a trend if we can't create policy and think the world around use it staves this is a

real issue important what strikes me folks claim wait until there's a problem when did we band-aid our policies in anticipating the trends and problems and
