will close, general public comment. >> very good, it will place you under department matters, director's announcement. >> good afternoon, commissioners i just wanted to give you a brief report on the planning commission's item with respect to the housing bonus program. as you know it has been in the kind of the development stage for a long time and it has been controversial and the planning commission, did take an action last week, what they did, a little out of their normal routine is actually to take the separate votes on several, topics within the proposed ordinance. and then they took an over all action to send it to the board of supervisors with an out of recommendation, either proor con. but what i can do without taking too much time is briefly summarize the position on various topics. one is that they asked us to go father in terms of the sites that we would not consider for the program and asked that we

remove all parcels that have any residential units whether they are rent controlled or not. if the site has any of it under the proposal it will not be eligible for using this program. and they ask that we secondly adopt a phased approach, implementing it, starting with the sites that are vacant, or have gas stations on them. the third would be to evaluate the remaining sites, with an emphasis on retaining small businesses, and historic properties. the fourth was to evaluate further evaluate the financial analysis of these project and of this program to look at the area immediate and income limits and there was a lot of discussion about the middle income, portion of this program, and whether it was too high and so they have asked us to take a new look at that. and fifth they asked us to conduct the further out reach and planning with respect to the program, and they also, asked us

to look at how projects would conform to the design guidelines, that we have put forward, and you may recall that we have proposed specific, design guidelines for this program and they have asked us to make sure that when we do the case report we will do an analysis of how the project meet s those guidelines or not. they asked that until those guidelines are finally adopted we will prohibit the merger of lots to accommodate this program. so that we could not merge lots to accommodate a project site. until new guidelines are finally adopted. and they asked us to look at refining the guidelines with respect to the adjacent properties. with respect to the review process, they asked us to change the review process to require a conditional use for all projects that use this program. with respect to the small business, there is a certain about the impacts on the small business in our neighborhood, districts and they asked us to

give the planning commission the authority to reduce the size of commercial storefronts within a new projects, so that you could maintain a small storefront character in the buildings. and they asked that we would with with respect to affordable and looked at to establish the rates that are particular to a neighborhood. and because some neighborhoods clearly are more affordable than others and look at rates that are lower to the median incomes in those neighborhoods. and with all of that, and the discussion which, i think went on for about six hours, they did take a vote, to pass it on to the board of supervisors, with no recommendation. i am happy to answer any questions, thank you. >> commissioner pearlman? >> just in your opinion at this moment in time it sounds like so many properties have been eliminated from consideration. are there muf properties to actually make it work through all of this effort? >> our analysis, we, you know, it applies to, and i am not

going to get the numbers, exactly right, but i think that it will apply to about 30,000 parcels across the city. what we did was look at parcels where it is most likely to occur and that is a list of 240, those 240 don't have housing on them any way. so those 240 parcels we think will still work. based on the recommendations that they have made. and they don't have, they don't have housing they don't have the historic resources on them. so that was our first cut any way about where it will most likely apply. and so, they did recommend going ahead with that portion and with that first 240 sites, but then asked us to look more carefully at the remaining parcels. >> thank you. >> if the board does not approve this proposaproposal, since thi state requirement, what will happen at that point? >> well, the way this is a very good question, you know, the state bonus program has been on the books for a long time, but because of a recent, napa city,

and i think that it is an napa city court case and it will apply to the projects that are pro-he vieding any level of affordable, such as san francisco, even if it is just the base requirement of affordability. so the way that it will work is that the projects could evoke on their own, the program on their own and asked for additional density and height by providing affordable housing units even if it is the 12 percent that is required in the code. that will be entitled to the state law under the additional density. >> you are not confirmed of that yet. >> actually we have, there are five or six projects in the office that are provoking the state density. commissioner? >> yes, could you just clarify again, i think point number three, related to historic properties did you say to exempt them? >> no, >> what they said was, what they said was, you know, they would support a phased approach, where the 240 parcels that are largely

vacant, could move forward but asked us to take a second look at properties that do have resources on them to see how we might shape the program better. >> they were not just exempt, >> that is correct. >> to make sure that there was an evaluation. >> correct. >> any other questions? >> thank you. >> there is nothing further, commissioners, item two, and the review and the planning commission and announcements. >> tim frye the department staff, no formal report, other than director ram's report on the program, and i did want to follow up with a couple of items related to that, and one is that in mid june, on your advanced calendar, you will see the neighborhood commercial district survey, will be coming to you for adoption along with the neighborhood commercial, historic context. this is also intended to clarify which properties in these areas that generally accept greater densities. are historic and which ones are

not, under the local, program, what is being proposed at this time, is buildings determine eligible as an individual resource will not be eligible for the, or to the program. meaning that you could not redevelop one of those sites if you had an individual, resource, however, there was a district and you had a district contributor, that property may be eligible, if removing that property, from the district would not cause a significant adverse impact to the district. as you know, in a district, we look at the district as a whole, as the resource, rather than the individual, buildings. and so that is something that we hope to have more information on by the summer, where we have just begun our neighborhood out reach, effort related to the survey work and it will be back to you, in mid june, with the findings. >> if there is nothing, further commissioners we can move on to the commission matters and through the chair, seeing that the president has stepped away, if we could potentially take item four out of order?

>> skipping over the president's report. >> okay. here he is. so item 3. president's report and announcements. >> the only announcement that i have is that i wanted to announce that the california, preservation evaluation is having the annual conference, in san francisco and so i encourage all members, and commissioners and members to attend. >> commissioners item four? consideration of adoption draft minutes for the arc february third, 2016, hearing and draft minutes for the cha february, 17th and regular hearing for february 17th, 2016. >> comments? commissioner highland? >> yeah, i have two comments, on the cha minutes.

since it occurred, and the minutes from that. >> the paragraph is essentially the same language as the agenda, and that does not change. >> and that is okay? >> yeah. >> and then on the hpc minutes, and on the public speak, and the general public comment, there were three speakers on the first speaker we listed the presentation and on the last two, we didn't give any further information. >> the reason for that, commissioner is georgia has begun to invoke a section of the sunshine ordinance which allows a member of the public to actually submit their comments in writing to be included in the minutes and they are limited to 150 words. >> perfect, thank you. >> any other comments? >> does any member of the public wish to comment on the draft

minutes of february, 17, the arc, for february, 3 ird? and the cultural heritage committee for february, 17th? >> seeing and hearing none we will bring it back to the commission, do i have a motion to adopt? >> i move to adopt the minutes of both. >> second. >> thank you. >> thank you commissioners on that motion to adopt the minutes for february third, arc, february, 17th, cha and hpc hearings, commissioner johns? >> yes. >> matuta. >> yes. >> pearlman. >> yes. >> highland. >> yes. >> and so moved that passes unanimously six to zero and places you on five, comments and questions. >> we can move on. >> excellent, commissioners that will place you under your regular calendar for item six,

the mother's building condition assessment informational presentation. >> we need a motion to recuse commissioner highland. >> i move to recuse commissioner highland. >> second. >> thank you on that motion, johns? >> yes. >> thank you, john. yes. >> matsuta. >> yes. >> pearlman. >> yes. >> highland. >> yes. >> and president. >> yes. >> highland you are so recused >> thank you very much for hearing this item my presentation is on the assessments that the arg undertook and it was funded by an hpfc grant on the mother's

building at the zoo and joined by don from rec and ma park and david and richard and the friends of the mother's building and also allison comings with the arts commission will be joining us as well. quick reminder, where the mother's building is. on the left you can see the arial view from 1925 when it was constructed. it was part of the -- and it provided a space for mothers and young children to relax while enjoying the pool activities. today, it is located in the zoo. it is a yellow circle shows you where the mother's building is in 1925 and today. i am sorry. here, if you know the zoo well, you can see it here in the upper left. it is right by the new elenor friends playground and the gardens are close to the

mother's building. >> quick, review of some historical context of the building. so mentioned it was built in 1925, the murales were painted as part of the wpa program. that is the most historically relevant, piece of the building, and so we will be going into that in a little bit more detail. they are mostly painted in the 30s. and touched up in the 60s and the 70s. the building was used throughout most of its life as the mother's building until the pool was removed, the youth of the building changed in 1960, and the 70s and the early, 2000s it was used as the zoo gift shop, and some of the other activities in the zoo and it was decommissioned in the early, 2000s. here are some of the images of the mural, the top image, richard actually took these

photos, the top image shows a large view of the mural and then the bottom one shows some detail images. they were all painted with egg temp ora and so on top of the building, within the west plaster is this typical of these murales during this time period. this is another one. here is some close up views of other aspects of the murals. and the conditions assessment that arg undertook, did both a survey and the photographic evidence and they had a number of consultants to pull together all of the information that we needed. the conditions assessment, ended up with immediate, short term and long term goals for building reconstruction, and the immediate is really the building, and the protect what

is there right now. and the and we estimated it to be about 200,000 dollars and the zoo has already helped with some in-kind aspects of this which is, you know, sort of removing some of the trash in the area, the cleaning the gutters and cleaning some of the vegetation in the area. short term is a little bit more intensive. it is estimated to happen within a couple of years. as soon as we can find the funding. and this is really destabilized the building. the long term project which is almost, five million dollars, this is all in 2015, dollars. the 5 million dollar project would work to seismically retrofit the building and reserve and protect the murals one of the biggest issues of the seismic retrofitting is how to, how to retrofit the damage without damaging the murals which are along the interior

wall that ajoins the exterior of the building and so one of the ideas as you can see in the bottom left-hand image is to do some unusual illustrating on the outside and butressing with perhaps some animals, and something that look like the zoo and brings in the new youth of the area. so this is the next couple of slides just sort of detail some of the issues for the immediate needs, on the upper right-hand side, is the plywood and the protection that was placed outside of the building to help protect the inside mural that you can see here from the further degredation it is the on the western side and it gets hit by the storms and rain and it has not faired as well as the rest of the building. so this was a temperatu tempora. so some of the work and this is also what the zoo has done to

mix this area that has been sort of taken apart in this picture. short term needs again as i mentioned is to really stabilize the building and long term needs will do the seismic retrofitting and the ada access. okay, that is all for my presentation. we are very excited about this. the murales, and the mosiac from the outside of the building are spectacular and we are glad to have this structural assessment so that we have a better p understanding of what is needed to preserve and restore this great asset. >> thank you, commissioners? questions? >> commissioner, john? yeah. >> commissioner johns? >> thank you. the wrong line. well, that was a great report. i don't know whether it was you or mr. wesle but i was

interested in a couple of things, actually historically on page 3 of the report, it talked about a 1988 grant application for it, and archaeological grant program for the california wild life and park land and con certify administration act to resoefsh the mother's building, was that just an application or did -- it grant, successful, did you, did the parks department receive the grant or was it just an application. >> i don't know that information, i imagine that it was just a grant application. do you know, david? it was not awarded. >> it was not awarded. >> yeah. and i guess that over all, what i am interested in, is knowing where funding can come from to take care of the both the immediate needs as well as the long term and so, i am interested in how something like that could be pursued again. >> right.

>> offer what other information you might have. >> yeah, i think that grant opportunities would, or potential source of funding for this. do you want to? >> sure. >> and along with that too, would you need i would like the commission to be as proactive as we can, under the procedures. including the potential landmarking as well. that is my whole thread of interest here. >> yes, thank you, thank you, commissioners, and aven and i am the director of planning and management at the recreation and parks department. >> in terms of the question about funding it is a good one and the $5 billion question for us on this project. in terms of the long terms. the first step for us, was really completing the assessment so that we could have the sense of the magnitude of the ask and also the time frame in which we might need the different investments. and so we have divided into the short term and the longer term

needs, in terms of my first priority is to try and support, mr. ross man in getting funding for the building to take care of the immediate and the short term needs and so we have met with the zoo, and who while not having much in the way of financial resources to commit, nonetheless, did undertake a number of using their own in-kind, resources and the important, main nens activities to deal with the list and there are things that on the l is that need to be done. so we are presenting to the rec park commission, to give them the same information up date, and with the hopes that we can begin problem solving with them about how to tackle the short term needs, including the fact that in the coming year's budget there is money set aside for emergency, projects and stabilization and etc. and that maybe, that could be a funding source for this project. that is a decision of the rec park commission, but we do hope to talk with them and explore that in more detail. from there, if we can stabilize, and focus on the needs in the

short term, our hope is that we have been very effective as a department, in seeking out other grant funding streams for projects like this. we were able to get several million dollar grant for the museum and we have done, you know, for other, similar properties and so it is definitely on our priority list. and we also have now that the assessment is done, that we can be more competitive for some of these funding streams and there is something called the opportunity, funding program that the rec and park department manages which also might have some funds, you have to go through, again, a community reviewed process. but i think that this report is a very positive first step in setting us up to compete, more effectively, for some of the funding streams that are out there. >> can you tell me when is the rec and park commissioner hearings. >> it is the third thursday of every month. whatever this month's third

thursday. >> the 17th. >> we would like to, and i or somebody on the commission could come and represent the commission at that hearing and speak about that. >> that would be fantastic. >> that would be great. >> very helpful. >> we will figure out who will attend. >> that is the great assessment. i thought. >> yeah. >> any other questions before we do the public comment? i would like to comment that it was a well done, report thank you very much it is an amazing building. and we would definitely like to support ways to help to preserve it. because i think that with the assessment really points out is that that, really a critical point now in a certain and if we have a really bad, winter continuing the building is going to be vulnerable and we lost the pool building and we don't want to lose this one. >> we will take the comment at this time. any member of the public wish to speak, come forward. >> yeah, thank you, commissioners. my name is loren jones and i am

actually here on another matter and i have no idea that this was going to be happening. but i am a native san francisco and i grew up swimming in the pool as well as spending times in the mother's building. and ill think that it is just great that you guys are considering helping out, saving that building. and i am also a guardian at the zoo. so i see the building all of the time. and i have been watching it slowly deter ate and so i just wanted to add my support that. thank you. >> thank you. >> mr. ross man? >> i am richard ross man with the friends of the mother's building and i give the tours up at the tower and i just wanted to put these murals, in context, they originally applied to work at great tower, but they

decided since they had worked at the zoo, went out to the zoo. and most of the artists in this time, were mostly men. i think of the 27 artists at the tower, only, four or five were women. and so it took them over, they started in 34, but it took them to 1938 unlike the tower and the beach chelt which are fresco, wet plaster, this building is a temp er and so it was dried plaster and for a number of reasons, because they made too much money, or in between they went and did painted the post office in merced california if you are ever going down yosemite stop and see these murals, and one thing that i like to tell

people, beach chalet and the tower and the mother's building, they were not designed for murals like george washington or the stock exchange. the artists there just needed a place, or a wall to work. so that they could get paid. and whether you know, they are supposed to last permanently, they have. and except for the west wall, the other murals, if you sort of, and the pictures are really in good condition, and because, these murales are higher off of the ground than like the ones at the tower and they are just really, spectacular and so, i hope and then the other thing is that the children's you know this used to be the main entrance into the zoo where the mother's building was, but they closed it off and made the entrance on the side of the building, but now that the zoo has opened the children's area,

up, so the people can see the building, you can now walk right up to the building, so it is accessible and the zoo wants to open it up and as an educational center. and i hopefully that maybe there could be events there in the evening. and so the people can really enjoy these murals, and so i look forward to getting this project completed. thank you. >> thank you. >> hello, i'm the deputy director of the san francisco heritage and we are here to offer our support for this very important initiative under score the significance of this resource. and congratulate, you know, richard for all of his hard work and advocacy. and our partners of the rec and parks department and arts

commission and the zoo. on that we are here to be a resource and a partner on this long term effort to restore the mother's building. and we also are excited to announce that we received funding from the historic preservation fund committee to undertake historic context statement of the new dealer ra resources and in addition, that includes, funding to complete, 3 landmark nominations for the sunshine school, george washington high school and roosevelt middle school. $10,000 of those funds is coming from the budget on behalf of the request of supervisor eric mar and that was really work that we have richard to thank for that too. he has been a wonderful advocate and we just you know thank you for a great example of the community activists thank you. >> thank you. any other member of the public wish to speak? >> seeing and hearing none, we will close public comment.

>> commissioners any final comments? >> i guess that i would like to make one final comment, which is obviously this is a building in need of a patron. so i would encourage the rec and park department to publicize as much as possible this pro-yekt and consider starting a campaign for this building because we have about a big donor pool in san francisco and it seems like a prime candidate for a donation for that. for the restoration. thank you. >> thank you. move to the next item. >> i wanted to talk and have another comment here. and you know, i could not help but think of the gray brecon does he have this on the website? he must. yes. and i am just thinking about more ideas that where we could help not only in terms of thinking about making sure that gray has this on his website but in terms of these historic

preservation commission. if i am in san francisco on that day, i may have to be in washington, d.c., but i would be happy to go to the rec and park commissioner and speak on behalf of this, if that would be appropriate. >> yes. thank you. we will discuss that separately. thank you. >> commissioners seeing nothing further we can move on to item seven, 2015-004228 des at 235 valencia street, this is a landmark designation and you have received a request to continue this matter. so as it is on your regular calendar you can hear it and then consider the request for a continuance at the end, or take up the matter of continuance. >> i am going to recommend that we believe that there are members of the public here that we hear the matter and determine whether we want to continue it, and the request for the continuance was based on the owner's building owner's request for more time to do additional

research. it seems like a reasonal request, i think that it would be good to hear the matter now. >> very good. >> good afternoon, the item before you is the designation, application for 235, valencia street. following the draft application for the landmark designation in may of 2015, the historic precertifiation commission, requested additional information, and directed the staff to provide technical support and the revised application was submitted in december of 2015.

the program was documented in the north, historic parcel survey, at that time it was determined, ineligible for a local listing on are a designation for the government, review process or that it may warrant the consideration or planning, it may be noted that it focused on architectal significant significance, under the oth events under the person criteria. based on the new information, provided through the community, sponsor landmark, application, staff was determined that the subject building is eligible under the person's criteria for the california, register, loren appears to have been a pioneer in motorcycling and played a role in the development of motorcycle cultural in the bay area and nationally. however, the landmark application lacks a broader historic context of the motorcycle community. making it difficult to fully evaluate the level of

significance in that context. and the building does appear eligible for the california, register it does not appear to meet the historic preservation for the priorities for the local, landmark, that are part of the landmark, designation, work program and the four priorities are the designation of the under represented including the land skapz and the designation of the buildings of modern design and the buildings located in under represented areas and the designation of the properties with the strong and cultural or ethic associations. >> even with the information on the motorcycling community, the building may still not meet these designation priorities. based on review of the landmark, application, the department does not recommend to the historic commission, initiation of the subject building for the article, ten landmark, and this concludes my presentation and i am happy to answer any

questions. >> may the applicants come forward. then? >> thank you for taking up the bill for the former jones dealership, and the 235. valencia street. the possibility of the attention of the historical planning and this commission, because we like many others in the community know the legend of jones and his place in the history of motorcycling, and we felt that it was important that this new information be brought forward before the building was lost from the historic fabric of san francisco. and in the valencia street, corridor and once the epi center of motorcycle business, for those in the greater motorcycling community, he is loved and reveered for fostering the culture through the great depression, world war and modern

times, what started as a form of recreation at the turn of the 20th century, became for the half and the lifestyle that he promoted through the birthday parties and leadership in the san francisco, motorcycle club and the national event, sponsor ships and both, amateur and professional, and throughout the life, he never missed an opportunity to promote this lifestyle, and including making sure that he was the first person, across the golden gate, bridge in 1937, or with his indian motorcycle. and in 1951, he created the motorcycle, blue book and 235 vlencia, street, with this first, distributed publication of its kind for motorcycle, he sought to provide a guide of new and used values for dealers and insurance, companies and municipalities, and the motorcycles, as a main stream, form of transportation. he grew the dealership into the

largest distributor of motorcycle and scooter parts and accessories in the nation, and enabling the riders with all makes and models regardless of where they lived, and where they had and what you needed to get on the road and ride. he didn't care what you rode. he wanted you to know about the experience of riding and with the great people that shared that passion. we encourage you to continue this landmark process. and yes, the city needs new buildings, and there are several coming to the same block and more to follow. but the city also needs old buildings and facades to maintain the sense of the cultural history of the area and the people regularly visit this location to reminisce hap and what he and his dealership meant to the motorcycling. this is the only, early, motorcycle dealership that remains, unaltered and representative of an area where they filled the corridor, and it also happens to be that of one

of the most significant, pioneers of motorcycling culture. thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon i'm brian, and i am a resident of the city and a member of the san francisco motor club and i serve as a chair of that club's district. >> historic committee. the san francisco motorcycle club founded in 1904, over 112-year history, included the mayor mccarthy, and lincoln beachy and the members of the hall of fame than any other organization anywhere ever. and our members pioneered this sport of motorcycling and has excelled in every aspect. we are a family oriented club and the ranks continue to include, the families that span three and four generations of membership. and today, i am speaking in support of the application, and recognizing the historical

experience, and within the relm enjoys the success, and later the national distributing company. and hap jones is imminent among the hall of fame, and we are grateful for the contributions of the club and including serving as an officer, and as the president, in 1928 and 1942, and in world war 2, and led the founding of the messenger, core and the member of other clubs and civil, organizations and i also note that he personally negotiated it on fulsom street where we resided for an organization, for 70 years. and but it is more than the local, business, and the community member, he made a contribution in motorcycle sport and innovation in the industry and shared the success by launching the career of many others, he got a start in the motorcycle, competition in 1927, winning the class in the san francisco event. and he quickly became one of the leading riders on the west

coast, and riding large motorcycles and he excelled on the courses and in 1926, he beat an exceptional slate of national riders to take the ama national tourist championship and he earned several before retiring in 1928, and as she mentioned always a show man and a bencher in 1 may, 24th, the first day that the golden gate bridge was opened for pedestrian an traffic, and due to the crowd and piloted the first vehicle, and in 1987, at age, 82 he roo repeated that for 5th anniversary, he accompanied on the ride across the bridge to commemorate the 70th anniversary, all during this time, he agreed in the several businesses and among these was the motorcycle dealership and despite the great depression he thrived. in 1946 he began to sell additional brands, including sun

beam and norton and that as a part of the dealership, he operated the company. and after world war 2, he has become an industry, standard, the blue book, that provided pricing for the motorcycle became the industry standard. he had an eye, for business and racing talent, throughout the 1930s and 40s, and champions. they were some of those that were at some time worked for hap jones and were sponsored by him and went on to succeed in their own businesses. >> over the following generation, it continues to sponsor races and racers, and including that second wave and the legendary, dick man, in the 60s and 70s. in the prominence of the world of motorcycling and he received, the countless, honors from the groups and the manufacturing honors and the organizations,

and in addition to being appointed to the ama hall of fame, he was also recognized with the perkins award and was the motorcycle, industry, man of the year in 1987. and hap jones is a motorcycling legend, but more importantly he was a generous, innovator who shaped the large role that he loved. like the home of television he works off on green street like the side of the ppie where he lived his last moments, and it was part of something big, something that the impact is still felt and brings honor to the city. like very few of those locations 23, is still existed and should be awarded pride of place as a place of pride, thank you. >> thank you. >> >> hi, commissioners my name is loren jones and i am a native san franciscan, and the only surviving heir of hap jones and his son and i have brought along

some photos that were much more interesting than just listening to me talk. his first business was out on the street, near the golden gate park and the bicycle rental and the repair company. one of four races that he won. just kind of a historical picture, i think that brian may need more details about this than i do, but we are currently, working on preserving a lot of these trophies which are going to be on display at the san francisco, motorcycle club. you can load these in for me. so this is an early picture, the early picture of my mother and father on a motorcycle. and my mother was also very involved in the motorcycle industry. and the motorcycle races and various events. and oh, here this one. briefly, they took a trip across the united states, on a motorcycle and the car in 1937, you can imagine what that must have been like across the states

and back. he had these, these yearly events, for almost 20 years, called the hap jones motorcycle the birthday motorcycle birthdays. and he they had all kinds of, they left the city, and went out into the country for a full day of all kinds of motorcycle events, and bbq and this picture just shows some or one of the woman's races and he was very supportive of the woman's races as well. just a picture of my mom, she was also very active in racing, and not necessarily a champion like my dad, but very involved in the motorcycle events.

he was there for 2 years before he moved to 235. valencia. this is a picture probably in the very early 40s. my uncle who took over the business. >> and you can continue. >> thank you. i will disregard that. and so as brian said he was part of my dad was part of the motorcycle civic core. he was probably still young enough to be drafted or to join, but he had a serious arm injury and so this is how he was able to serve his country, during world war ii. this picture was taken and this is a typical group photo not taken in the normal place, you guys might recognize this location, right in front of city hall, on the way to one of the hap jones birthday party annual

events out in the country. and here is a picture of, here is a picture of my dad with the evil kanevil he did sponsor all kinds of celebrities and he was an early sponsor of evil, kaneval and here is a picture that i just located and i just kind of dug up out of the files of evil, kaneval doing one of his early jumps right here in front of city hall. and this is his, the office building of hap jones distributing company which he began the wholesale business after he moved out of the valencia street location, and this is the building just to the back of the street. and he moved back there and my uncle golden took over the motorcycle company which continued on for about another 20 years. this picture was taken in 1970. and i think that there should be

one more. so thank you to your time, commissioners, and i enjoyed showing you these pictures. >> and thank you very much for the pictures. >> do you have any questions before we go to public comment? >> at this time, we will take the general public comment on this item. any member of the public that wishes to come forward. you have three minutes. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is kelley, and i have lived in san francisco, for almost, 22 years, i am an

architect by trade and i live and work on the same building, and these have gone to deeply appreciate the character and more importantly the character of one of the most prominent people to own and share the building with the public for many years, hap jones, as a motorcyclist for most of my adult life i was familiar with hap jones and the purchase from the distributing catalog, a two inch volume of the parts and accessories that one could order from the nationwide dealerships in 2002, mo my partner and i fo us moving our business, in a building adjacent to 235, and the people regularly stopped on the streets and reminisce, in the motorcyclist from the area and increased our knowledge about hap jones and where the institution started and grew. in history, we soon researched and collected the memorabilia. a couple of years ago after a fire in another adjacent building, and the research, we discovered there was new information to the building.

we originally brought this information to the attention of a historic planning in september of 2014, and were encouraged by that to continue to bring the new information forward and creating the landmark report. and the motorcycling community as you heard from a couple of people today, some of the speakers has benefited greatly from hap's life as a figure in the area of motorcycling, through the research, we have met, many great people who knew hap and every story gets better. and it recounts a time when the community, and community, inclusion and in the course of a little bit of reverly were the constants. >> the landmark, report shows a lot about hap and help to pop that person off of the page to an mate this story. this landmark has nothing to do with stopping the new development. i am very much in favor of new, positive well conceived development and also have a deep affinity for the contemporary architecture. this is not a hard core, group

of recertify vagpreservation, a this is a group that knows the value of preserving and we are here to lead in and ask the commission to see this cause and strongly consider to take action to not destroy more of the irreplaceable culture of the city's history. and i and many others, would not be standing here today if not for the encouragement of the planners to proceed with this landmark report, we as private citizens invested countless hours and resource to bring this to the public light and now we encourage the commission to do the part and move the landmark forward and there are more stories about hap joans that you will want to hear. thank you. >> thank you. >> does any member of the public wish to speak to this item? >> members of the commission, i am the representative, and we are focused on the process, obviously and we were actually

working toward a march 16th, no the for today and which is why we are not ready to go, which is where the continuance came and we have a great analysis in the work and we will be ready to share that, and we hope that you will continue to that date and give us an opportunity. hap jones is a great guy, though. >> thank you. >> any other member of public that wishes to speak on this item? >> we will close public comment and bring it back to the commission. >> commissioner pearlman? >> i am really torn here. because, we don't have something sort of in between landmarking the whole building and just creating some kind of a way to, partly, we don't have a way to honor people like hap jones, unless we know about the new building that is going to be there. and in other cases we have incorporated you know, historical information in the lobby of the building or something like that. and what i am torn about is

that, you know, when i look at all of these pictures and i hear the stories is that, very little of it related to the building itself. you know, so hap jones is a man and the fact that he sold the motorcycles there is really just a small part of the story about who he was. and the culture he created. and being the first one on the golden gate bridge and all of those are the stories about the man and he could have been in any building and as you showed he was in different buildings over the course of his career. but to landmark this and to saddle the future with this particular, building that was not considered to be, you know, worthy of note, certainly, it is a nice building and it is, you know, a handsome building of its time so i am very torn about whether we landmark this and then you know, and then, the project sponsor, who is going for come forward in the future,

will have to either incorporate that and we don't know what that is because we have not heard the other side of the to ary or know what is going to be coming. if there is a way that the project sponsor, for the ownership, could incorporate this building somehow? in the future building, and then it might, you know, be a way to kind of bridge between the history and the present. but, i am not there yet, in terms of landmarking this particular building. relative to its personal history. >> i think that the things that i am working. >> and commissioner, and commissioner johns? and both of you try to hit the request to speak, button. >> well i didn't want to say something. which is, that there is has been a request, and not only we don't have the whole story in front of us, there is a request for that we continue this. and give some somebody else an

opportunity to present more information. and before, i am prepared to make any kind of a decision, i would like to hear the entire presentation. and so that there may be something in what is to come, that would be influential and the commission-making decision. so, it is appropriate, for me, to move to continue this then i would do that. if it is not, because there is already been a request. then i will support the request. >> commissioner johns do you have a comment? >> i agree. thank you. >> commissioner highland? >> well, i was going to actually say my opinion and unlike commissioner pearlman, i think that i don't agree with planning department's assessment on number four, the designation of properties with the strong cultural and ethic association. i think that if this were some other culturally significant person, we would be having a

different conversation. and for whatever reasons without getting into any kind of labeling or assessment of why we are not considering this a significant cultural person, i do, and i would think that it is. and i would support further information and i support the continuance to hear the other side of the story, and if the business was still in existence, i think that it would be a perfect candidate for the legacy building, registration. so, you know, i am not on board with planning department's recommendations. but i do support a continuance. >> great. >> if you want to make a formal motion to continue? >> yes, i move that we continue this to our next meeting and the one that mr. julius wanted. >> yes, commissioner if i may,

16th, you have a very full calendar as it is. i don't mind moving this to march 16th, but just keep that in mind if you choose to. and what is the meeting after the march 16th? just after? >> april sixth. and that would be fine. >> i would like to know from mr. julius whether that date in april would be appropriate? and mr. julius? >> april, 6th? yes, yes, we can do that one, yes. >> and so then i move that we continue, until april the sixth. >> okay. >> second. >> and that is in terms of the timing of responding to the landmark initiation, is that meeting and the requirements that we have for that. >> i believe so, and it would, and we would be ready at that

time and i would ask the applicants if that date would also work for them. >> yeah. >> yes. >> yes. >> okay, mr. highland. >> yes. i would just want to point out the request or the comments the staff in the analysis and that is that the landmark designation, application, lacks a broader historical context of the motorcycle community in which to evaluate jones' importance, and the extent of the scholarly or the public knowledge about this is unknown to the department. but because pertinent aspectses of the community history and the basic facts of the development and culture are not detailed in the application, it is unclear, why the motorcycling community is important to the bay area. and so, maybe between now and then, that could be addressed? and that could help to move this thing along a little bit furt r further. >> okay. and so i think that we heard a motion for april 6th? >> second. >> second. >> yes. thank you, commissioners on that motion then to continue this matter to april 6th.

commissioner johns? >> yes. johns? >> yes. >> commission, matsuta. >> pearlman. >> yes. >> highland. >> yes. >> and so moved, that passes 6-0. and commissioners that concludes your regular hearing and there is a review hearing that will follow this. >> okay. >> the hearing is adjourned. . >> shop and dine the 49 promotes loophole businesses and changes residents to do thirds shopping and diane within the 49 square

why is big so we conducted a review the architectural drawings proposed by the developers now we know essentially the developers proposing a design that is a mega marina important megan adjudicate they're voting proposing 200 and 72 slips with 44 seat and they're proposing to provide each time boat with finger slip docks and docks to up to one and 75 if we get in length let me put that in prospective south bay marina a modern willie brown, jr. has 36 feet and provided one finger dock per boat the footprint that did marina developers are proposing is gigantic the kobe coffee shop on the city

forefront is simply several times smaller and yet the developers are proposing to convert most of the blast into a luxury marina we've continued the public each and have almost a thousand signatures asking tida to restart the public use assessment of the code and starting a facebook caption our most recently post reached 20 i thousand people if the marina area and the sierra club they looked at this proposal and issued a proposal condemning the mega where shall and asking you to look at this this is the official position of sierra club we've also been engaged with the ac d.c. commissioners present 3

time and can actual from the the 101 meetings they've not been received finally we take into account at the 2 it million dollars cal boating loan the developers took out with our endorsement and saw a series of issues and asked state of california to review that lesson proposal process and your endorsement, however, one thing to call you out the politician as iconic of this debate in justifying they're voting loan application. this marina they claimed they'll be serving underserved youth the youth will be kicked out of the coffee they're voting claiming to - this project is done in collaboration with the treasure island center neither of those

statements is true you mean commissioners a runaway project i think so you on a process has been followed but it is broken either way your responsibility for the results i urge you to take back control of that project thanks i've got documentation for everything i've discussed and i have copies >> thank you for your comments we'll take them under a.dvisemet please come back next month we'll get that under record. >> you can submit if and be included to the correspondence next month and just for people who may be listening reminder that next month's meeting will be an evening meeting on the island 5:30 of april 13th so

and size was litigated up to the california supreme court and that was moving forward i'm sore sorry mr. cutting field feels this is a run away project over the course of the summer we've working hard with the folks for accommodation as well the other stakeholder who would like to use the clipper coffee and the clipper want to call of opportunities for the day use as well as the treasure island yacht collaborate it is my understanding the treasure island sailing center has in fact found accommodations and we are have reached accumulation and agreement i don't want to say agreement don't want to put words in neither mouth but

that's my understanding the loan agreement or the loan that was initially applied for and which you gave our authorization i believe although i've not seen the documents referred to the original loan that was granted some years ago and we are moving forward with that so we hope that you think continue in support of marina and the size has not changed or is slippage it is not a medical marijuana for mega yacht we've had the ability to birth large coffees not a marina solve for the megan vengeance with that, we expect we'll be coming back to see you and looking forward to do that

the issues when disillusion came about we had a challenge of issuance of bonds for housing and we didn't have clarity on transbay for issuance of bonds in transbay. most preently recently the state approved legislation that allowed to issue that so in terms of going forward the challenge will be on [inaudible] with development or cost increases with infrastructure, the [inaudible] already executed so have the ability to issue that on their behalf. it could be [inaudible] we have a recession or not, but in terms of the project and develops we have partnerships with we don't anticipate there to be a issue. what could potentially be something we

will have to observe in the long run is the timing of when development comes on line so there is enough [inaudible] with housing as needed. most importantly it is probably timing of when development comes on line but the [inaudible] is already pledged to the development and center a agreement from department of finances that have those allowable contracts. >> great, thank you. colleagues any questions, comments? okay, seeing none we'll move on to mr. olson lee. >> good morning supervisors. my name is olson lee and a current member of the oversight board and director of office of housing and commune tee development and work between the mayors office and redevelopment agency for dwix 26 years. prior to my position

one of the broadest categories of complaints we take and that can range from staff not having id badges to potentially using disrespectful language while speaking to clients and it can be something as serious as non maintaining a safe environment. the staff category is very broad so as a result you receive a lot of complaint in that category. >> have there been anything done to address that issue then, especially such a overwhelming percentage of complaints are based on that category? >> when clients come in and file complaints with our office, what we do is we track the names of the staff being named and the complaint and if the new trend with specific staff receiving a unusual amounts of complaints, what we do is send that information over to the

contract monitor, but from what we have seen so far, there haven't been that many individual staff that continuously we see complaint. it is different staff receiving complaints from different clients. >> okay. thank you. >> i had a question, mr. chin, it looks like next door is the site of 25 complaints and i'm wondering and looking at the narrative of-could you just explain-it seems like that is where some of the concentrated complaints are and how that was resolved? >> so, next door is one the largest shelters in the city system and so as a result we do see they typically receive a more complaints than some of the smaller sites. that would also be true for [inaudible] south and providence as those are some very large sites and typically they do receive more client complaints. >> one was no smoking sign not

posted in spanish, how-are smoking complaints a common type of complaint at a number of the shelter? >> there isn't a complaint we receive a lot of. for that particular instance i can't recall the exact details of that complaint but that isn't something that typically comes up very often >> thank you. >> maybe that was from a site visit where we observed there want a no smoking sign in spanish because they are required to have all the signs in spanish and english. >> alright. thank you. any other questions from committee members? seeing none i just look forward to continue working with the shelter monering committee, human services agency and of course providers as well in term thofz policy regarding people involved in domestic violence incidence

so thank hsa helping work on that in the past wreer changing that policy so hope we can continue making improvements on that. >> i also thank hsa for their support and assistance as well as you, supervisor tang and the board of supervisors for passing the resolution back in december. there is a additional item which i wanted to bring to your attention and that is the shelter monitoring committee has some legislation recommendations and one of them has to do with the standser of care number 12 which is there should be two clean sheets and some [inaudible] they don't have laundry facilities, so the recommendation that we are making is that they be aloud to substitute a clean blanket for a clean sheet

and not get written up at violating a standard of care item. and the second recommendation we are making has to do with the board of supervisors seat 1. currently this seat has to be sfiled by someone who is homeless person or homeless 3 years prior to appointment living a homeless child or the recommendation is living a homeless child under the age of 18. it is issue for the committee to find candidates who are currently homeless with their homeless child, not to find but to keep them because if you a homeless and trying to care for a child it is very difficult to be going on all the shelter inspections we do each month and it is difficult to attend the committee meeting and any

subcommittee meetings, so we would like to recommend that this be changed to somebody who has lived with a homeless child under the age of 18 at some point within the candidates life time. we believe it will make it easier to keep someone in this position. it is currently unfilled on the committee. and the third recommendation is that the terms of each committee officer, they are two years, but we ask that they be staggered so half rupointed on a even year and half are appointed on a odd year so we can have consistency in the committee with experience. thank you, if you have any questions- >> thank you. and so just in terms of the 3 recommendations sound good to me. i just wonder does department

staff want to weigh in on this and let us know their thoughts? >> did you mean the staff from dph or hsa? >> either one >> we [inaudible] shelter monitoring officers quarterly so we work through these changes and agreement with all of them. >> great. just for the record [inaudible] >> sorry. >> great. [inaudible] >> howard chin, policy analyst. [inaudible] assistant to dweckter of health will coordinate with dpa and hsa. he is out of town but can forward questions or concerns over to him. >> thank you. colleagues any questions or comment? that thank you so

much for your work and department staff. we'll open up item 5 to public comment. i think mr. walter left. no members of the public for item 5. this was a hearing so if we have a motion to file this hearing. >> so moved >> thank you. >> second by supervisor cohen. the hearing is filed mptd mr. clerk do we have any other items before us? >> no more items, madam chair. >> okay thank you. meeting is adjourned.
