to report and count the metrics under those various items and finally our budget calendar on the 20 of january we went to the historic preservation commission on the 3rd of february sorry on the 3rd of february yesterday we went to the historic preservation commission and requested a recommendation to approve the budget there is a comment letter attached to your package from the hpc we're here today to provide the budget information to you next week we'll come back to the commission to ask for approval of the budget the difficulty budget to the mayor's office on february 22nd and june 1st, the mayor will submit it the board of supervisors and late july the board will take final action to

adopt the budget. >> that concludes my presentation. i'm available to answer any questions you might have. >> thank you tom just commissioners to summarize quickly the heart of budget proposal is those in any positions that ac that tom went over and the 40 bucket on page 11 of the slide show so those bucket are dealing with the backlog to deal with new policy initiative to deal with process improvements and to fallout grow our ability to do better community outreach those are the issues i've benefit hearing from the board of supervisors and the mayor for the last year we hope those kind of address those issues in an appropriate way i'm just want to under the influence this is the vast majority of the revenues we're seeing going to fund those 14 to 9 positions the next two

years with that, weigh close our presentation and anxious to hear our comments as well. >> open up for public comment if there is any public comment on this item. >> okay not seeing any, public comment is closed. commissioner moore. >> this is always different to respond we're not day to day following how the numbers go up and down i appreciate the departments work, however, i have a couple of questions obviously without really knowing i have to say i don't the increase in expenditures with salary and infringes is staggering is goes up by $6 million and the first step and an additional 2 and a half million dollars the second step it's a an incredible amount of money the line item which spriepdz me on the materials and supply side

the increase is very, very large between the adopted budget of today and how we're moving into the future three hundred and 6 to $350,000 with the decrease in costs for computers, etc. that and you mentioned a whole bunch of other things there is a huge step on this number as a replacement i understand that for many reasons we need place holder with the certainty of housing will create and complete change. >> of how we use technology i'd like to ask is that under which particular line item are you counting people who are more in support felt commission themselves for example, we have a long list of action items that gets longer and longer i'd like to see at least a certain amount

of man power allocated for people to attend to the questions we ask in a timely manner thing on the list are way over a year old and not been able to note the answers we need to participate in a way that's one question commission yeah. the commission staff is commitment to devolved under the department administration you see think outside the box on the first page well, after 3224 the memo looks like that so you'o you'l you'll4 the memo looks like that you'll see the - >> i'd like to see the presentation laid in how to affect us i'm in no position to

question the numbers i'm observing a certain mulch e amount of detail missing there's the other thing i wanted to ask that the increased confusion with enforcement i want to make sure that the department staffing and we've been supportive of with the mr. sanchez work and his staff work that we are properly covered to connect the newly instituted airbnb and short-term rental enforcement including increase ability to cooperate with dbi particularly because they lost the computer program to help make things for efficient i want to make sure we're covered for

the next year or two or three until we have a technical basis to coordinate. >> fine we'll do that we have 3 enforcement planners entirely tloftsdz to shortly and the zoning administrator has 32, 3, 4 one office and those are 6 full-time city staff devolved to the projeted d we have more double the number a furious we're proposing one more code enforcement. >> in particular worked on georgia said are those particular increases the work cost by what you have listed at

the moment. >> well the work i believe that the commissioner vice president richards men's is work by the zoning administrator staff yes and by the current planning staff one the aspects of the work looking at the code language and whether we can address changes to the demolition rifrlt that is done by the lotta's fountain earthquake staff. >> theotta's fountain earthquake staff. >> thea's fountain earthquake staff. >> tfontain earthquake staff. >> thearthquake staff. >> tuake staff. >> tke staff. >> the last question miff i'd like to see licensed architect to what type of projects we're reviewing it helps the commission and helps the general amount of cus the art we have many of them dealing with the architecture issues and we agree certainly two new

architecture positions within this project. >> i hope that is sufficient. >> (laughter) so do i i think. >> and also into a summer program with architects are assigned in other words, to learn i encourage that very much and see a proper balance in how we contributoattract interns. >> i'm glad you put if positions for that one comment i'll make the measurement section i don't see is a measure for what the for those positions

and i'll recommend there is a type of process whatever that will. >> for that position. >> okay. >> the other thing regarding the measures completely support the measures that you have the only thing i worry about how do you hand the details not due to the staffing this is something either part of project sponsor it can take two years i want to make sure that the numbers don't get distorted you or your staff have to do interesting enough we're zg couple of on our advanced calendar some ceqa reform on transportation once we talk about that will help the process i've been a party to discussions an ceqa reform or ideas of

second not reform efficiency in the mayor's office of housing i understand from the documentation there is a desire to survey the properties in the city to maybe circumvented that historic preservation commission ceqa review the question i'll have maybe i missed it is there any plans to beef up survey team or staff to go out and do that so we can save on the ceqa portion of the ceqa. >> yes. this year's the funding inform a full-time position to work on a survey as well as the funder for the survey itself we're the process of hiring that position. >> i guess to councilmember glover's point on the action item list we're going i'm going to put together kind of a list

you itself and hand out a ballot for all commissioners to prioritize to get an idea what is most important for this commission i don't know if so it too late i mentioned this last year maybe perhaps our be biggest issue is the intern project to tackle two of those items i threw that out there last year i don't know how we are the process of hiring an intern but maybe knockoff one of the projects i think on the i like the two architecture position that commissioner moore talked about it will help and some of the things we'll have potentially a project today where is there an translation of the residential guidelines in upper market street those two architects with

the architect and the staff really help make sure that design guidelines and why the project conformed or and exploratorium and the trade offs and what happened that had been a good investment so not having what we're seeing today and help the public transparent how the design gets done. >> enforcement the short-term rentals enforcement and the on the enforcement i know there is a lot of great people working on that i know wooefsh we'll have a i guess angle enforcement presentation it is yet to be scald but flush out you know, i think the enforcement cases with included the overall cases and highway patrol u how much is the short-term rentals and the etc., ect, etc. to understand how that

all falls out and make sure the number of people on that are working on it correctly and some enrollment cases we're in short-term rentals it is so hard to figure out whether there is a violation or not you don't have a threat they take forever and the process may be a person can recognize ways to curtail that like a valid register. >> understood thank you. >> commissioner antonini. >> a couple of questions director rahaim first of all, do we have team efforts or redundancy maternity leave or project do they wait or assigned someone can pick up the relieve. >> they're typicallyy assigned it is i will say that reassignment slows down the work the new planner has to get up to

speed but typically reassigned e assigned when an extended leave. >> one suggestion might not at the beginning of every project so have co-assignments you may not have enough staff to do that but two people are brought up to speed with every project in the case of an absence someone can pickup and not have to be retrained on another efficiency item i assume we simultaneously salute i i know that environmental has to proceed other things in order of approval you can't really approve something for many of the aspects of the project until the environmental has been completed but it would seem as though the project could be evaluated even though the environmental has to be completed before any approvals i

hope it is sort of what we are doing. >> the goal is that the environmental review precedes no parallel. >> rather than sequencely. >> and the advantage of the environmental review can to the project review we're not quite there we were better but trying to get the paralyze and the environmental review takes the long-term minded we time to make sure it happens in that window of time. >> thank you. >> commissioner wu. >> so is it so great to see that that that is all projects review is working well, we're continuing that work and happy to see the dedication of the legacy business and the renewed work on the housing policy those are issues that commission has talked about a lot

i'll continue to ask to pay attention the deficit of hiring especially diversity of the experience like the business legacy program or working on housing it is the different prospective kind of helped to bring understanding to the staff level that something sort of more robust coming to the commission and then i said to ask a specific question from public comment come into ask about the filipino cultural heritage district whether or not that was included the work plan. >> i need some help from any colleague it is included in this year's plan one of the now you mentioned is one the issues the funding that was proposed as part of knowledge approval project

and it is not totally clear where the funding which agree or entities is the recipient of that the bottom line i don't think it is reflected in this work plan if i'm not mistaken but we need to clarify that point about where the funds is coming from to be honest is being tied up in the legal delays over the 5 m approval i'll try to have a better i eyes. >> united states cultural district is not about the 5 m it didn't incapsulate 5 m are removing quickly think central soma it is central to think about central soma so a part of larger work.

>> commissioner vice president richards. >> i echo commissioner wu's comments if you can grab that money i think that was three hundred k grab it and use it if not try to use it internally that's important thanks. >> okay. >> no further questions commissioners that concludes this item we'll hear it in two weeks. >> commissioners, that places you under your item 8 the upper market expansion a planning code amendment. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is monique mohan planning staff i'm here to ask adoption changes for the upper market commercial district before i begin someone from

supervisor wiener's will be here. >> good afternoon on this on behalf of the supervisor wiener's briefly the the item before you provides an opportunity for an existing use the planning code we allowed the project sponsor working closely with the organization and craft the controls bra you today that explicit explicitly legalize the use but provide a path though the - the triangle neighborhood association and potrero castro and the castro upper market have sponsored this and briefly in terms of staffs recommendations it is reasonable to me the only concern we have one of the recommendations was expend those controls to the limited restaurant as well i think on

the face of it we were open to considering that that has not been part of discussions with the neighborhood we'll be reluctant but we're open to be back thank you. >> currently in the european market street the commercial the mtc requires the conditional use to work on the greater and not permitted on upper scenarios of the building this is to amend the planning code in upper market to expand with the constructive with the following conditions met one is a if it has been converted two an internal staircase bar use connection exists and 3 no expansion of the building envelope. >> neighborhood commercial district like upper market and

mtc was to help the land use controls and support for the additional finding and city to make sure this is not a negative impact on the validate phone number for the housing stock the city understand to those legalize or lists one bar but this limit restaurant the corridor that maybe good candidates and other restaurant uses because of the behavioral issues associated with alcohol as an expansion to have a bar on the second floor maefrns the department - while specific to say an arrest warrant try requirement for an expansion forecast did planning department didn't hinder the community to provide to make changes to the

project sponsors as part of the conditional use authorization the planning commission can impose taeld consideration if the space has not on a roll call and no expansion of the building envelope and i'm available to answer any questions. >> okay opening it up for public comment. >> hi taifd if the triangle association we are definitely supportive of the entire second story for the particular bar in question they've been a good neighbor and a good special event space for parties and that kind of things we've had enough of that kind of

things in the neighborhood i'm weary to lend our support to a general expansion of this for restaurants this is not something we've thought about or get into the weeds or the imperial staircase might be problematic it is news to be hearing about that in terms of what is actually on the agenda could i we're definitely in support thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> okay public comment is closed. commissioner antonini. >> sound like reasonable legislation and as we heard when that was presented of this passes which it should i believe it will require any other establishment to go to the conditional use process we certainly have a good oversight sometimes 72 hour are

more problematic then other retail uses and so might make a good use whether there are vacancies or issues for the rattler and permitted use on the 72 hour second story i think this benefits one particular establishment it it has broad support and this legislation allows that to happen and allows us to consider any instances that may come forward the future but have to be deemed necessary and desirable i'm in support. >> i would like to support the comment the public made leaving out the staircase if i understand supervisor wiener correctly dealt with a particular circumstance which i

feel strongly supporting, however, if i had el i'm not prepared and could be amended later this as specific understanding of the district per say and situations or situations that maybe similar but the broader dafgs definition of the stair i'm prepared to so for the or support it the other thing more a question to supervisor i'd like to see a restriction on the use of outdoor space which we always try to only catch when it is too late this moment to discuss that is that at issue and perhaps you can answer that. >> you say outside spaces. >> a bar they use it and don't have approval and i would like to prevented that from having

the gentrification of bar used by not spelling out what is included i'll be remiss of the question. >> this location as i understand is a second story building a full lot coverage so there isn't a rear yard no outside space that is clear not allowing an expansion of the building envelope not a deck or something created devoted to housing. >> all your address about noise you're making a comment about only keeping the windows clotted. >> that was a recommendation by the staff. >> i'm in support without the recommended modifications or the provision that could be happening later if it is substantive support from the person that created this legislation. >> i'm making a motion to - it is a motion of intent to approve

as it is brought forward by the supervisor and - how do i say that. >> we're going or we're adopting a recommendation for approval. >> it sound like your in favor of the modifications. >> the one i was not in favor of the stair. >> on that particular issue not the issue is whether there is an existing stair but staff's recommendation that someone could put in a stair to connect about it you don't want to go that way that's fine. >> i have to hear the motion gnaw could you help me to formulate the proper motion with leaving out the. >> the establish portion. >> may i have a motion i don't know it was our represents the

windows were closed but part of d t and a recommendation we excluded those are an informational item if you want to approve how how the supervisors proposed it do a recommendation of approval that's all you have to do. >> i'm in support of windows closing i don't want to come back later and say a recommendation of approval that the windows need to be closed during proclamation. >> if i report a disturbance than they'll be an action you're also saying - >> not you. >> the staff recommendation those are proposed recommendation for the church i will bar to expand to the second story d ta has old positions

we included the staff to brought to your attention and show you the types of concerns the neighborhood has. >> those are perfect i'm in full support i'll leave out the stair and in favor of everything must the stair. >> the recommendation not to remedy the d ta approval for the actual approval. >> you'll include those when churchi churchill. >> it will come to you. >> this is complicated that tries to explain and this is the abstract it is difficult to understand. >> okay. >> i think that is clarified we're trying - this is the legislation it is a prohibited use the bar is prohibited use. >> if you don't want to

support staff's recommendation do a recommendation of approval that's all that's fine. >> is that your motion. >> i'll second commissioner moore's motion. >> thank you, commissioners commissioner richards. >> okay just to be clear so the stairs the motion includes the existing supervisor language or not. >> the existing motion is just to adopt a recommendation for the approval for the legislation as proposed by the supervise the issuance of stair will come back to you when the project comes back. >> jonas i'll correct there are dual legislation with supervisor wiener it includes the existing staircase. >> so to recommend approval with the existing legislation so the way it is proposed the first part. >> so i know executive branch

i will and occasionally mr. i'm havi blank. >> i like the legislation we have actually a couple of great bars on the second floor the lookout one around the corner and maybe a future expansion a great long time is eureka they have a great restaurant downstairs and a great bar upstairs i was there and greeted supervisor wiener so i will work with the neighborhood association to make sure you can create for spaces they really work in some cases so support of legislation and happy to have

the community room in churchill. >> commissioner hillis. >> not to xhablth the staircase but a staircase in every building you have to get up to the first story but it is odd to have this? the legislation just the staircase has to exist in the footprint of the bar that wants to expand? >> yeah. so. >> that's how the legislation is written correct. >> so staffs recommendation make sense in that case we're tayloring we might as well put in the named churchill a first story use going up to the second floor. >> snits the basis for the

staff's recommendation. >> i be in we're making a recommendation but have to understand we're making a recommendation of the legislation that yeah, we recognize that churchill will come back and ask for a cu but to commissioner vice president richards point if we want this to apply to something else we should take the staircase language out that will not apply or we'll build the staircase dpaints. >> any concern that by not having that language in there we'll create an incentive for merging spaces we're not ready to do so do the right thing but we're not ready to advance it policy. >> limit to churchill we don't expect any other use but a cu.

>> we're not done all the surveys it is possible maybe an existing staircase between them we do know that for sure. >> likely yeah likely didn't exist. >> like a single-family homes. >> if you do that you wanted to expand to the second story you'll not been able to do that you have to come back and amend the legislation we want to trailer this to churchill that's fine. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> the intent mr. powders to have a formally two flats with we have in the upper market and seen quite a few of the of and a commercial downstairs and a door on the right and formally a residence maybe an office or maybe turned back into housing you don't want to - i have to go

out to the front door and up the steps to the second story to you support that because the second story is vacant they can go back to a second story unit i like the legislation. >> commissioner moore. >> following up on what commissioner johnck's said this legislation speaks to a particular building type not a particular user i think we need to leave the emphasis that smaller create circumstances, which an, an internal stair are suitable for to documentation and not advertise it is confusing the body of text a reference to the body but that's

not reference to our discussion. >> commissioners is there anyone from the public that wishes to speak to adopt a recommendations for approval. >> commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner moore. >> commissioner wu commissioner vice president richards and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 6 to zero and places us on item 9 sacramento street conditional use authorization. >> game-changer commissioner president fong and members of the commission i'm collin clark planning staff the item before you conditional use

authorization to allow skin spirit to change from a vacant to a retail and personal service use ton is empowering of on existing second story commercial building with 4 office units on the floors above and includes minor improvement for the original storefront windows this project is under the community-based pros as a result of written opposition the project was played on the calendar like the resolution that stabbed it the department staff will provide a written response to the opposition for the cu conditional use the neighborhood commercial zoning district a conditional use authorization is required for a personal use at the ground floor to to project includes a traditional service on the

ground floor it occupies only 1/3rd find ground floor area and located towards the rear of the tenant space the applicant has chosen to incorporate a retail formula with the front of the that is a by activating the street medical services will be an vertebrasy component with the raiser treatments and cosmetic injections the zoning administrator had determined this is a permitted accessory use within the mcd and proposed the draft motion that insure the medical uses will be a service at the site also sacramento mcd didn't allow a medical service use it is allowed as a seary use and hence publication the department received one more

letter of support address correspondence from 3 people in opposition to the project to date 6 letters of support and are corresponds from 4 people in opposition to the project with that said, the department is saying it is necessarily and compatible with the surrounding neighborhood the promote skin spirit is a bay area locked owner and operator is intended to serve san franciscans and the spirits customers live in san francisco and travel to asian pacific islander to the project will activate a vacant 24 ground floor that was vacant since 2014 it is the storefront windows and the project is capable compatible with the mcd

and in terms of finding that need to be clarified for the basis for approval they need to be clarified state at the commission finds this project is necessary and desirable and compatible with the neighborhood and surrounding use as follows: and submitted that concludes my presentation. i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> again, thank you. >> we might have questions for you project sponsor please. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm tom of reuben, junius & rose on here on behalf of the project sponsor we appreciate the staff report and all the work that staff do the to help us and appreciate their recommendation of approval we really feel this is an ideal

location for skin spirit it is comparable and works well with the neighborhood and as staff has 6 letters of support with the project sponsor is our architect hillary she will speak briefly and talk about the use of floor areas and the improvements made to the property and we have our owner and founder of skin spirit who will speak about the company and this particular space will be used we also have the property owner that is in full support we're i'm available to answer any questions and we thank you for your time and consideration. >> great, thank you.

>> overhead please there you go. >> hello i'm hillary human being arrested architect for skin spirit and explain the design and proposed improvement improvement united states of america it is an sacramento street between presidio and walnut street with 24 ground floor retail space adjacent to an article gallery and the floral shop both in support of project so skin spirit is a skin care

business that provides retail and personal services for clients their american people ideal tenant for the space and business for sacramento because retail is a very important part of their businebusiness as you can see from this slide the sponsor dine as a very strong retail aspect the front of the spates we're aiming to do improvement to transformer a space into a retail fascination

heres the slide with an existing storefront right now the proposed new storefront as you can see the existing space and storefront are very dark and uninviting it is limited because as you see the yellow that is shing shingle. (the following proceedings were held in open court, outside the presence of the jury:)ing and parolee ventilation it is a duchess door with a push button that didn't work how does a push button work on on a danish store skin spirit will encourage the booze and creating a better connection to the retail area

wear proposing to do that by lore the windowsills removing the single siding to remove the windows and creating double industry assessable doors into this space and creating a level situation all the improvements will pull the shoppers in there and the tenant improvements will propose create new attractive open interior finishes with retail fixtures displaying the product to retail is an important aspect in addition to the new storefront and the tenant improvements that skin spirit proposes there are also proposing to add two bicycle parking spaces and a new street tree to the front of the building department of water & power tur

about repaired in terms of the design it locates retail in the front the space and the entire storefront will be dedicated to retail the rear of the spates will conservative of 8 facial rooms and i think rejections with appointments the remaining space between two new assessable rooms and a wheelchair assessable ramp to the higher level and hallway and break rooms and office

we we believe that skin spirit a benefit to this space to the street and the proposed building improvements and it's presence will advance the viability and historic importance on sacramento street thank you. i'll introduce any colleague. >> thank you very much how much time i have left i'll have to really, really cruise this it there i'm a founder of skin spirit and mom i've lived in northern california and we started this in colorado locally owner and operator and a leader the last 10 years one of the reasons we were leader we stick close to the mission of providing products and serves with mooeveng result and that's the part of our

business we occur rat the best skin care products not wildly available in drug stores and the front of the space is all dedicated to retail our beautiful interiors and warm inviting exteriors is a fundamental part of our model and as you can see with the interiors look like it benefits city council spirit to sacramento street we're a designation we feel this could be as successful as our other locations that attract up to 25 people a month we are a designation we know that we have 2 thousand over clients from san francisco already and they'll stay here and keep their taxation dollars here your clients demographics are attractive and to the other

merchant let's go to - let's skip over - so we're skipping offer some because i'm running out of time another thing we're a successful business we think we bring something new to the streets but like to consider ourselves a social responsible business we retain the clients and most a female workforce has great benefits and great employees when this location reaches maturity we can create more jobs that helps the people that live and shop tyler we're philanthropic we getting give back to the community and support our clients passions and

we look to our continue doing that in san francisco and we're going to make an expensive renovation to the building that will make that safer for more people why do we go to the last two slides the community partnerships so one of the things we bring to the party is that we're very good marketers and will be doing an extensive media campaign to get people to know we're in san francisco another tenant to do crotch promotions with other vendor on the street and so we expect to be doing clients events every 3 to 6 months and include the partners withblast whether co-primgsz we try to be a good neighbor we're a good fit for

sacramento street we think i'm happy you guys took the time and hope you'll think we're a great neighbor too. >> open up for public comment (calling names). >> hello, i'm mel the owner of the property let me start by saying not only it this property vacant for 6 odd months but prior to that the former tenant had a grateful difficulty we did our best to sustain him without success the property is indeed of this typographic remediation and that

type of tenant will be acceptable but prior to this tenant i went to the adjacent retail stores and said what do you think of this tenant they would we'll like it i like it i think it will be an additional to the street and an additional to san francisco i live in the neighborhood. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm raul the asset manager for the property but my personal connection to the block and the neighborhood is predated my professional by 35 years as part of jc c and my father two doors down from it there newer how vetting the proposals and the appreciative tenants they rose

head and shoulders above the others we spent a couple of months before we thought about that a thorough vetting process we are - we believe skin spirit will bring much needed foot traffic and business to the block and to the neighborhood so - >> recommendation of support thank you very much. >> thank you. >> any other speakers? >> okay. >> you can put them on the rail there. >> hello. thank you hello my name is tracey a resident and business owner on sacramento street and head of avenue organization thank you, commissioners and commissioner president fong for hearing this case i think that is an

interesting opportunity to sacramento street, however, i have problems with the conditional use permit being approved i think that the business is extremely successful has a large clinic tell and those are great assets i think the medical nature of the business steps into our zoning controls around medical to - we've lost our hardware store and toy store the time changes we're also having the two predominantly large retail spaces are in a change and the hardware store is broken into includes a jewelry store and ready to wear bridle and a question mark not sure of the last piece the formally toy store will become a retail front

with 8 private rooms the back medical and aesthetic services me this is a loss to our street and as far as a necessary part of a enabling neighborhood and residential i think that is a question mark we have a you have a right of services on the street and certainly. >> sorry to interrupt you with whosoever phone that is turning it off it is disruptive to those procedures. >> i'm on the floor as a pedestrian i am a business owner and in my shop everyday except for right now clearly and joy hearing from people what we want to see the neighborhood one of the my responses to this project from the neighborhood from the people that live there is that they would like to be existed about a future use as opposed to oh, and it is not to say that is

going to drive a lot of business i completely respect skin spirits business mold model it would be a business center with a shopping village with parking with with 25 hundred customers a most they could do better with the designated barking parking the back. >> other speakers you'll have to line up on this side that would be great. >> hello my name is marilyn i'm a founder of marilyn skin care and on sacramento and much to what tracey has mentioned while skin spirit is an amazing business model i've been in the neighborhood for 18 years we're purely aesthetic service over the years the parking has

become challenging i have many, many clients that reside in our neighborhood and the parking situation just continues to be a little bit more disturb so 25 hundred clients a most coming in and out of the neighborhood. >> i think filter and find parking i'm a little bit opposed to perhaps maybe an oversight but the use of this business as medical it is a medical business if you look at their wednesday night in any of the locations their it is a medical service they all require the majority require r.n. or doctors they'll be professionalism so i know from experience that the retail we offer is a very, very small amount from walk in traffic it is purely from recommendation

from my aesthetic team as far as a shopping mechanic can or designation i don't foresee that especially being a medical the lazer machines to operate are incredibly expensive i can't minimal they're going do change the business model of is a is successful locations to become retail and aesthetics for this purchase on the permit it says for medical services i know that says accessory too i know the business very well and it would be quite challenging for them to even kind of pay their rent the sacramento street based on the percentages of aesthetics compared to medical services so thank you for your time and consideration and for hearing me. >> additional speakers? >> hi i've been on sacramento street for 33 years i have a

skin care salon i was - now perhaps we're too in this new place incorporating the same block so i think that as huge surface they at street level obviously a big competition to have established businesses and open this street we're it in the neighborhood so we are drawing the clients from the same neighborhood and the idea we'll have so many clients kcmo from all over the city being we don't have anywhere to park and i think that some of the products we intend to sell we're already selling this is unfair

competition for a small established business that's my concern thank you. >> okay is there any additional public comment? >> open this item? okay public comment is closed. >> and opening up to commissioners commissioner antonini. >> this as a very good project and for my purposes consider sacramento a designation a number of stores and restaurant and other things i will go to sacramento for i don't live ♪ neighborhood nor is my business in that neighborhood that in and of itself it sounds like a very good improvement restoring the windows and making that assessable to two different ways it will make a more attractive frontage and potential for quite a few of the jobs and i witnessed this all the time where people i know will drive

out of san francisco for a particular product or service and saving 2 thousand people if driving to palo alto is good in keeping tax revenue in san francisco so i think this is a very good and their also making street tree improvements and staff has already opined this is a retail are accessory so i think i mean there was one speaker that brought that up if that's a determination that is that type of use and e vertebrasy medical is okay. i'll move to approve >> i know the street very good all the small- as far as

competition i'm not sure we can make a decision on competition this is a good application where maybe having that barrier of 110 blow is put a bright line to me maybe mublt locations didn't take out small businesses but if they're lucky enough to have 11 hundred consumers that will be good up and down successful and ultimately want to see it successful. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> a question for staff medical verse non-medical with the bright line. >> the breakdown.

>> well medical will not be allowed doctor's office or would. >> it is not permitted in this district there are some - one provision that allows a business or professional service use to be converted to a medical service on the first floor if inform retail formula is lost the only provision that allows a medical business. >> can you didn't think accessory medical. >> in less than 1/3rd of floor area that makes it an seary use. >> maybe the question for the project sponsor. >> so i don't go got back of the business because i look fabulous. >> you do

(laughter). >> people coming in off the street buying products what's the percentage that goes to the medical treatment and buys it versus the people off the street. >> 80 percent of our traffic includes a retail component so i also that when we that first time started out retail is a higher component of our total sales that's how we establish a relationship with our customers and that over time we convert them to other services so i'll say in the beginning retail will be more than half and more than half of our square footage. >> so are they offered anywhere else. >> our retail products we have a higher level of supervision and products that are not generally valuable in other places we offer that to the neighborhood. >> none of them are

prescription. >> no they're just products that have more significant active ingredients and the people make them distribute them through managing the process of people using them. >> commissioner hillis. >> so one i just i think we have to remind ourselves we're looking at the land use and commissioner president fong comments and concerns i used to go to the arc and i think the street has changed since losing the arc but what is key for me here is the retail component of this i think i agree with some of the speakers that spoke we want to that maintain the retail presence and i was looking at our pictures of the retail component the front you you know the fact it will be a skin care

retail space on it's own will be allowed we wouldn't be talking about that if f that were the case the fact the type of business is not really what we're looking at we're looking at the fact we wanted to arrive and keep the retail an fist storefront with the conditions for the first 25 feet is retail for the street it is good there are more people coming and perhaps less parking that tends to be good for others businesses so i share those concerns but staff has done a good job and that retail continue and function as retail and i think we all the neighbors should be diligent about making sure it it didn't turn to o pack windows we see the cases that close off the retail but given that i'm

supportive. >> commissioner moore. >> i think given the length of the sacramento retail corridor generous actually with the wonderful stores with the storefronts i'm not opposed to closing and the refinishing the storefront that will be better aside very a overriding concerns with i go to that part of sacramento frequently that the city's parking regulations are not at all supportive of small businesses. >> it is like two minutes and 25 seconds or a minute and a half it is almost impossible to do leisurely going around in that retail environment in support of small business owners that needs the parking more relaxed in order for us to be

supportive or those who fear competition we need to help the way we're mardi gras the corridors to help those people that are there obviously when anyone comes from treatment i think someone needs the parking space longer than one coming in one hour this is a push back of how to manage supporting this kind of a store by not tipping the scale against the small business owners that's how i look at it enough said i'm in support but appreciate in planning and staff trying to manages that side of corridor. >> commissioner wu. >> thank you. i think i have a question for staff so on the accessory use the fact that is 1/3rd i'm looking at the

planned there seems two types of rooms like a lazer and something of a facial room is that only the lazer room that are are considered medical or both the rooms. >> right to so the medical room is the cosmetic injections the facial treatment are 9 personal service. >> so the 1/3rd of the square footage is only what looks like maybe 4 rooms?. >> yeah, it is 1/3rd of the total square footage i'll mention with the architect taking a look at the land use percentages the retail is actually a higher percentage if you consider the fact that open the plans the packet it shows the percentage square footage based on all including the

common areas so the retail percentages is higher. >> okay i want to just to be clear for the record those 40 rooms legal cosmetic and lazer treatment that's the accessory use and that is what need to be with the >> schizophrenia i ask the owner one question in this other stores what percentage of the clients are booked by appointment versus walk in so if - >> well again somewhat of an evolution a lot more walk in when we first start and as we

develop relationships less but a good i mean, i'll is in palo alto our oldest store we still have probably 20 percent walk in. >> maybe like a hair slogan 12 chairs. >> yeah. we always have some availability not 100 percent booked all the time but the beginning it will be a lot higher. >> to build up. >> commissioner moore. >> of personal interest how old it the interior of the existing store. >> the interior picture unless the picture is out of context is a lovely picture to it has

lovely qualities and the question i'll ask is there anything to the interior or is that much older. >> people will have to come up to the podium. >> the interior was to look at novs arc a toy story like flat wall on the wall and all the columns are just spurred out to look at are look like the inside of a boat. >> thank you. >> okay jonas. >> all right. there is a motion that has been seconded to approve that with conditions staff actually amended the motion by reading a section into a findings into the record i'm

showing you are you amenable >> approve the motion as amended by staff. >> yeah. >> that should be fine. >> and the seconder is okay. thank you very much on that motion commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner moore commissioner wu commissioner vice president richards and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 6 to zero and places us on item 10. >> oh. >> i'm sorry. >> can we take a short break please. let's disruptions of any kind. proceedings. and when speaking before the commission, if you care to, do state your name for the record.

commissioners, we left off under your regular calendar on item 10 franklin street this is a conditional use authorization. >> good afternoon president fong and city council members of commission allison park coming down the pike listen the item before you it request for a conditional use authorization to allow pacific heights in to establish a thirty room tourist home e hotel on a four story building located on the northwest corner the n c-3 zoning district the upper floors are a variability of unpermitted use that exist since the 1970s include permanent and medical and service and professional service there is a condition of approval promoted in the draft motion that insures by unauthorized use

are vacated between thirty days the restaurants is not part of plan it is worth noting this was built agents a hotel in 1904 and parades until 1970s when was illegally enforced to office space this is process under the business propriety with conditional use authorization to the condition use the planning commission it considered to consider the following criteria one of the impact the competence of the public transit and childcare and other social services to the extent that the commission shall consider the assessable and part time permit of hotel and two the measures will be taken by the project sponsor to employ residents of san francisco in order to minimize increased demand for regional transportation and three the type property as a

quick aside this third feelings with inadvertently left out of the draft motion to commission manager has passed out the revised draft motion with the highlighting horror our review the standards cu fbld the department building pat kruflgs is nvshl and compatible with the projected shortage of tourists hotels rooms the city the sponsor as committed to hiring local san franciscans through the city's fir source program even though this is the triggered due to the small size of the project total 5 full-time and others apartment no significant increase no housing or childcare or other social services the proposed occupancy

will be high year-round by returning this to the did original tourist use it providing community benefits with hotel resumes outside of the downtown in close proximity to c camtc hospital and japan and other tourist designations duo to date the department has correspondence if two people in oppositions with that said, the department supports this and recommends approval with conditions the participated bay area locally owned hotel is to serve travelers out of hotels in the use activates the upper 3 fleerz restoring the building to the tourist hotel use and staff asks that the planning commission finding be amended to state that the commission finding of feels

there project is necessary and desirable and comparable with the neighborhood character and surrounding use and as so forth the application submitted that concludes my presentation. and i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you. >> project sponsor. >> good afternoon commissioners from mary tell joined by the building owners and operators and a project architect i think or want to thank mr. clark for work or working us with getting if project before you and appreciate his time and effort spend a little bit time adding meat on mr. clark presentation and about the way we will operate the hotel and how we will hire the employees for the

most part my a complies are small hotel operators own 10 hoeltsdz in nell most of them from 25 to 75 rooms of small to medium sized hotel this is within their office space they were told there was basically an office and professional used kind of building and wrote a letter of determinations and findings the zoning administrator opine that all the uses were professional bike sharing were unlawful and low and behold the last legal use was a tourist hotel that is lapd had to seek another cu we filed under the processing program and at the time my clients took ownership of the building of the spaces were fully occupied by a preoperative meeting in july of

2015 tenants said that the property management most vacated by attrition we filed the papers 9 tenant left in the building prufrt to vacate the building within thirty disof this project approval we so you get the notice of determination and basically, their leaving we have not heard anyone challenging the vacation it will be in compliance with the continuing condition the basis themselves actually, the 33 spaces are anywhereing what was there originally and the changes we're to reduce the size of the spaces to thirty rooms to expand the bathroom facilities for the hotel and provide for assessable rooms and assessable bathrooms

the demographics are in basically for travelers and others coming to the city either to visit northern california or the tourist designations or because of the proximity to 9 camtc facilities they have a loved one that they may end up being a patient the europe style of the hotel is going to fit it demand that is unmet with the transient location and a well run hotel getting people to the place they need and to be the city as mr. clark stated we will video telephone employees apartment and not a big business but use as he said the mayor's office of economic workforce development as a source to find qualified employees and we believe that ms. hester give us

a great suggestion in here lessor i'll submit we use the serviced of chinese affirmative action so they'll are qualified folks as well that is a nice range of organizations to hire folks to work this hotel we're in transient rich location and seeking a parking space permit because of the nature of the democrat grafkdz there is not a lot of folks staying the hotel are are a rental car they'll use muni or take a taxi but not a need for off-street parking to satisfy the needs of this hotel no parking provided there mouse's and in terms of arrive and drop off we are first and foremost changing the address from franklin footage where the existing restaurant to the

others building and work with the believable and provide some kind of signage again that bruno heights let's folks know the intaps is not on franklin and again if agreement with mr. ms. hester's letter anymore robust getting to the hotel available on the hotels website as well as at the management desk people can have a muni map to get around town. >> with that said, i don't need to additional anything if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them. >> open up for public comment any general public comment ms. hester. >> sue hester attorney for

united here local two the hotel workers have some concerns their minor and most they're by project sponsor - our too big concerns we're asking your attention for is the exhibit a to first of all, the resettle who you hire is very important and the addition of camtc program subsistence mission hiring is important that is on page 2 special finding for hotels going to page 5 there is a provision about how you exhibit a to the revised motion a lot of stand up language and changes

and modifications that the at the bottom of page one based on be burned by the last hotel that come through the commission we want the addition of the following language that if the zoning administrator wants to approve the changing unit i understand they're not planning and they'll have a hard time they have do go back to the commission and at least tell you last hotel they came through came through as a 94 room hostile and had large hostile rooms it was converted after you had a hearing to a 200 and 4 room hotel babes staff analysis it says offering we're counting heads of people that will be there in

beds no hotel the planning code when the administrative code anywhere the city is other than rooms of a hotel but all of a sudden it came beds administratively interpreted ass at bed we have 7 and market approval for 200 and 4 room hotel instead of a 94 hostile so the planning commission should pay attention to try get used to depriving the zoning administrator of the ability to change the nature of what was presented the commission i'm glad they added assessment accessibility it good and signage all the issues i've talked to other attorney on the other side and i think they're

in agreement and i heard that in their language thank you very much. >> is there any additional public comment? >> - good afternoon commission cynthia research with the hotels union we're not taking a position on this project one way or another but want to speak to a few concerns one the planning department relies on analysis of project and transportation analysis that has the assumption that hotel employees will be san franciscan as walk to their jobs the conditional use for hotel and molt section requires that the commission evaluates this this particular project might be small in terms of room and employee count given the

proliferation of the micro hotel projects you'll expect to see planning must recognize the dwindling hotels as well as the rapid displacement of san franciscans that work the city hotel business the conversion of rent-controlled to short-term rentals and the growing number of sros that are seeking to go to hotels major help the shortage of san francisco this is a backdrop to the workforce you should look at the analysis given the proliferation of those micro hotel or short-term rentals sro conversion, etc. and the loss of rent-controlled and the resulting impact on the workforce local 2 asked that planning look at the in terms of third floor their cumulative and

not project by project i'm submitting pursuant to the sunshine ordinance the written summary of fortune one and 50 words ask to be the minutes as well as a portion of my copy thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> okay public comment is closed. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i think that is a very good project and obviously as we've heard didn't remorseful any housing i think the last speaker was knowing in terms of general job one is getting a job and it creates job that is most importantly and housing is important but have to have a job to support housing i'm very much in favor of that and converting badge an neuron authorized conversion i know a lot of the bones of the building will remain the same the floor plan shouldn't have to be changed i

like the last address that gives it more character we know that i don't know if we have the statistics here i think historically in terms of hotel workers the percentage of san franciscans residents is pretty high so that is a good thing and there's a shortage of the small hotel this particular neighborhood does have a few of various sizes but a need for that a lot of people will visit and stay in a neighborhood and they don't want to stay downtown not to go back and forth to visit friends they want to be close to where the family and because of constraint of the people they can't stay the house with their friends that is really good especially with the

cal pacific medical center that may have a patient foreign a few days they want to be close he this is a really good use to give us a lot of feel of european types of hotel i think that meets the criteria and glad those annexations were made in conformity with the conditions we have to have and the finding are included the revised draft motion i'll move to approve using the words of the revised draft motion. >> second. >> commissioner moore. >> january i think that is an interesting project and returning to its original use is better a ramon house not a europe partner hotel over there you have the significant attempt

on price and at least it included a sink or toilet on their own that's a separate discussion the point i'd like to make when directed towards the zoning administrator i want to see particular attendance towards supporting the alley and the moving the entrance to a more impressed way the idea find entrance the alley is giving an identity of the address and location because frank it is show along you, you're not knowing which block, however, i would like to see the support for the alley as living space i'm not talking about shared space but one that helps to take some of the unimpressed ideas we super not yet implemented into activating the alley through 9 positive space that can be done

to escaping and signage but have an active commitment to the alley that is important we try to build the network and those moves are the beginning point for helping the department to move from policy into prelims i'd like this particular project to participate otherwise i'm no support and support the motion. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further there is a motion that has been seconded to approve that matter with conditions small property owner one more time and amended. >> as amended by staff. >> can we amend the motion with the address of two attention to the alley i want to make that part of motion i don't know what but give the staff the ability to talk with the owners we're doing more as suggested

the plan. >> yeah. that is fine as long as the embellishments to the alley are that good idea. >> very good then on that motion to approve this matter with conditions as amended by staff with additional attention to the alley commissioner antonini supervisors commissioner moore commissioner wu commissioner president fong. >> so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 5 to zero excuse me. >> and places us on items 12 ab 11 ab geneva and santa fe avenue you'll consider a conditional use authorization and at zoning administrator will consider a request for a variance. >> good afternoon marseille with department staff the item before you request for the conditional use authorization for the use at the power house building within the complex

known as the geneva carbarn the conditional use authorization is required because the property is located within the public zoning district historically known as the san francisco and san ma to it is a city landmark and the building those buildings are together the national california register owned by the rec and park department and are sited along the north west evidently of genevadge of geneva the rec and park department is prototyping american people awe adopt reuse of both buildings the overview is provided in the packet due to the anticipated funding allegations and the certificate of appropriateness by the historic preservation commission and their request by

you for conditional use authorization request see will mirror those if phase one the majority of work is proposed within the power house from the industrial to a community facility as a event of arts exhibition center because the constraint the 0 no parking property the project is not asking for class one bike parking the site altercation are required to support the work at the building and the historic preservation commission approved a certificate of appropriateness for faenlsz work on november 18, 2015, the entire scope of work is included in your packet and the phase one will be before you at a future date i have received the letter if supervisor campos office supporting in project and have

copies for the commissioners the project sponsor has more information about the delayed ever details the project i have end my presentation if you have any questions, please let me know. >> thank you project sponsor. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm nourishing with the rec and park department thank you for hearing this item i want to give you a little bit of background did brothers did the geneva carbarn and the power house it is a reminder of the first light rail it owned in 1944 when taken over by muni it was damaged the loma prieta earthquake it was demolished and a group of community members came together to save it was the

friends of the given power house and the rec and park department inquired the building and the stabilization building was completed the vision was development at as community art center it is arts training for underserved use but provides programming for all ages from toddlers to seniors and the cafeteria community meeting room and student lounge and, etc., etc. at that time no designated theatre in all of will district 11 in 2010 the building was listed on the national register also no 2010 darlene design was chosen for the building this design has received part one and two from the preservation office and the national park harvest historic tax credit in 2013 it

received a categorical credit and in last fall approved as a from the historic preservation commission the roommate the carbarn for short the carbarn was compressed of over 25 hundred square feet for the historic places will be applied as well as the best practices and conservatism will achieve the gold status based on the final documentation the project is approximately $29 million the rec and park department in partnership with the office of economic workforce development the office of district 11 supervisor avalos and the san francisco arts commission is pursuing a two-part with the power house and the phase one is the improvement to the office building and the additional improvements not power how we believe that is more feasible

and speed up the activation of the building and generate more interest the project the power house is approximately 31 hundred square feet with 35 square foot ceilings that will be exceptionally beautiful it will have the visible professionalism arts and more likely by nonprofits arts providers additionally moving places clay's for senior like joking and others classes can be offered that the space will serve as a community meeting and rent-controlled unit for short term events and performances by other arts groups and accumulate wedding and dances and on the space will have been is a catered kitchen and bar and independent of a moveable stage the power house design was a simplified version and the vast majority of improvements will be

reigned in the master plan phase one will be having hazmat - improved entrances and restored windows and mechanic and electrical system and a new floor with the heating given the historic nature of the building we're unable to change the envelope of the building or the power house and thus accommodate class one bilk the rec and park department has committed to allowing the employees to store their bicycles in their office spaces lastly the planning department has included it is a modification and thus has no effect on the ceqa and the carbarn has sat empty across the street from one of the busiest transportation hubs the city it

is a great historic building with the flexibility and to enter jiujitsu the community the balboa station the restoration will serve as an anchor for the neighborhood that also states the national trust for the historic considers the use of stores for a catalyst for attracting bids the synergy between the car barn will help with the connection and help to create and successful newtown center and arts place the transportations and allow the carbarn for geographic focusing informational point for this district thank you very much any other speakers if rec and park or the project sponsor thank you. >> opening it up for public comment if there is any for this item.

>> i'm speaking as a chair of the friends of the office building and pour, however, house that was created in 2002 we organized to save the building the 1998 and 1999 beginning of the 1999 then willie brown directed the mta to cease effort and work with us to create a neighborhood center focusing on after-school program for youth in 2004 the rec and park department made an off to the mta to take over the building the mta accepted we've been working on this since as i said

1999 not only is the given carbarn in charge of that i don't know anyone the neighborhood it isn't it is great this is actually moving forward thank you. >> any other speakers on this item? okay public comment is closed. >> and commissioner moore. >> thank you for a thoughtful presentation this is a fanatic idea i couldn't be happier seeing a project this is a long time to have it stand other than but nevertheless, it is there the light at the end of the tunnel i hope the zoning administrator will not stick us with the bicycle requirement but indeed rec and park is helping us deal with the bikes one question i have and that pertains to page 4 of the report

and under the issues of consideration mr. woodrow under item towards the become of the page the third line no formula retail use is proposed the project i hope we'll find encourage to not have formula retail being a consideration for something that in a scale and i don't know what it tries to express the character the community i'm not sure this is possible but there clearly not proposed is absent disturbing to me. >> i understand i think i said in phase one a restaurant and retail proposed i think i'll let the nicole in rec and park answer about the the city proposing retail formula but

this will be retail is not actually any formula retail action being promoted at the moment but i'll let nicole from rec and park speak to you on phase two. >> i'm sorry, i missed part of question from coughing but will the retail space we were anticipating perhaps that was a gallery for local artists are maybe some of the students working this will hopefully have a job training component could work in a june venture they are selling work as part of program at the least people will be connected to the mission of building awning i appreciate usual explaining that the small business commission and the

mayor's office has an active program helping the small businesses to reach out to them first, we have a june win city efforts i'll notice. >> we've been in discussion with the conveyer merchant association and 09 excelsior people working for spaces for local merchants. >> move to approve with conditions. >> second. >> commissioner hillis. >> so thank you for this this is great to see is move forward and thank you to dean weaver that worked countless hours and right-hand side it is debris know that rec and park stepped up and took on this building not up their alley but did it you know for saving that it is not ideally in two phases but getting the phase off the ground

is good just a question who manages it if someone want to rent it have a community meeting who is ultimately managing it. >> two different models we pursue both of which the rec and park department has like something we're doing with bodecker a new clubhouse and the masters tenant managers the business for community uses and sub tenants and other models are multi tenants mo' magic in hayes valley and self-help for the elderly in chinatown and so we've got organization that manage the building part of time and they cooperate with other organizations the third model we have a rec and park staff member we're not at this point providing programming it will not be a harvey milk or rec

center but have a staff person there. >> thank you. >> commissioner antonini. >> i think this as wonderful project and yeah. i will encourage you to have when it eventually comes is that as possible allowing it to be used for rentals is going to be a source of funding that helps to continue the ongoing costs of operation of the center so he very good driven uses but good to have the opportunity to rent it out to private parties for events and things like that that will help to fund that. >> our goal to underwrite our partners ability to provide arts use for the people in the neighbors and have an tndc income to do that a great

opportunity. >> more reason to do it and some kind of food service is always a good thing it is a source of funding. >> we'll have a 99 black box theatre sow people will have a bit before a show and stay afterwards. >> the pedestrian access is non-community right now i understand that bart's and muni are revising the area i have occasion to once take the m and a transfer to bart they stopped the m and said this is the end of the line and you walk along the sidewalk and try to get into bart that's how you transfer it might have improved. >> there's a lot of activity going on the neighborhood with the scrape encroachments and required to make our building

aids assessable and working with the mayor's office on disability and interest is things we need to get done we're doing it. >> that's important. >> there is a motion that has been seconded to approve that with conditions on that motion. >> commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner moore commissioner wu commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 5 to zero. >> thank you very much. >> commissioners that places us on item 12 excuse me. oh, i'm sor sorry. >> i will close the variance hearing and grants it with the conditions. >> thank you zoning administrator. >> now we'll move on to 12 ab market street conditional use authorization and zoning

administrator will consider a request. a evaporates it appears we have time to get through it >> yeah. >> yeah. >> commissioners i want to introduce you to another new staff member you've not met yet this is jeff horn jeff has been with the department for several months he's in the south west quadrant with 8 years environmental planning experience working with the transportation and infrastructure projects his previous work is with the county of riverside and he's worked on large project like the california high speed rail and planning projects for pg&e of alameda and berkley and san

rose. >> thank you director and commissioners jeff horn planning department staff the item before you a project proposing to demolish a two-story commercial building to construct a mixed use building with 52 dwelling units and 2 thousand 6 hundred space along math and 14th street the ground floor frontage on market street will contain a lobby and leasing office and mail room and bike parking and incorporate an existing muni elevator the footage will include two ground floor unit and a service vehicle bay did project will widened the sidewalk and add 6 street trees for the better streetscape plan on the triangle lot within the

upper market district and within the market octavia the proposed new construction has been reviewed by the preservation staff for design within did standard of the upper math ceqa district it requires conditional use authorization to planning code section 3037314 to the lot exploding nine hundred and 99 square feet and the next section to have and in an official bike route it requires a variance from the planning code for rear yard and one 4.1 for ground floor non-residential ceiling height with 14 feet the project is one of the lasting last walks between within the controlled and as

much the project has issued the community plan and therefore you'll be adopting the ceqa finding the project sponsor has worked worked with the neighbor groups to insure that meets the neighbors needs and one of the primary concerns that the affordable housing remains on site and because the project will provide rental units they've entered spots costa-hawkins and a draft has been provided to staff so the materials we triumphed transmit willows end and st. francis luther republican church. >> two letters of concern from a neighboring property so the department is recommending approval because the project creates 62 residential units

that makes a studio and one and two bedroom units to expand the opportunity and enhance the district it is appropriate development as of an in fill and underutilized property the property provides housing including 7 new affordable units on site and it will be destined to comply with the upper market residential guidelines on market street and a short element with the gown units on 14 streets with the neighborhood that fits the market street corridor is provides no off-street parking for residents and provides 62 class one and plus that is figuring out the transit first policy that concludes my presentation. i'm available to answer any questions thank you. >> okay project sponsor

please. >> good afternoon, commissioners first i want to thank you for louse us to present was a tight schedule i appreciate your accommodating the project my name is barry from the development i'm a small local san francisco developer the last projects were pled many 2014 where i built market street a one and 50 condominium project as well as 16 market street i built a 24 unit building with 23 bmr units i'm here to present any proposed development for 2100 market street repeating

look what jeff said we're proposing to build a 62 mixed use apartment building that had replace a 2 story space vacant since 2011 i'll give a brief he overview following my introduction i'll ask my architect to go to the design process in detail how he ended you been u up with the current proposal give you a little bit of background various restaurants are been here over the last thirty years the home restaurant closed and been vacant in june 2013 the landlords was turned down i by the planning department to lease the space which would have been been a formula retail and you conditional use authorization the owner was initially designed

to lease leasing the restaurant he reached out to discuss other possibility we came to a did 9 year ground lewis lease i'll develop it never to a condo that was zoned 85 feet with the market octavia zoning after market octavia plan was initially approved also zoned 85 feet and pushed to lower the heights 65 feet so the current height is 65 feet and we're within that envelope a little bit of the planning history we've been working with planning for two years and submitted our initial conceptual design to the p pa to planning in 2014 we followed up with the e e application in august of 2014 and wasn't until january of 2015 that we were assigned a

planner and move forward with the conditional use authorization we are complying with the inclusionary housing with 12 percent bmr's on site we're currently working with the city attorney on the costa-hawkins all the time that allows us hocking to continue my a attorneys are here poor as jeff alluded we were going to provide 25 or 15 cars but after a series of meetings with planning and the best use of the neighborhood we decided if this transit rich corner we didn't need to provide parking but better to activate the 14th street cultivation and with ground floor stooped inspires to activate that location per the project has gone through several minor
