2:00 am
also, i am a resident. although i think she has been a great asset to the board and behaves reasonably, i agree that it's not a requirement of the see the. there needs to be a waiver for that. it says the charter says -- there is no explicit way. if you threek legislative mystery, it doesn't say anything like this is a see the that you're supposed to be a resident. you're supposed to be a resident unless no one else wants the see the. so where i live in san francisco is important in this. i live on the west -- or the mission edge of district eight. it's been a very heavily-graffitied area. it's ground zero for graffiti
2:01 am
is. it gives you a feeling of what graffiti is to san francisco than living in a different suburb does because you talk to your neighbors about it. you sphee it gets cleaned up what. if it doesn't get cleaned up, it stays longer. you're in a part of the city where there are other crimes. you git the discussion with other people. should the police be prioritizing fra feet graffiti more or less? should we prioritize graffiti higher? or is it something that in effect doesn't matter so much? i think like that's wiercioch the things that living there in an area of high graffiti that i bring diversity to the board. i'm afraid too much of the mind set of the board is it's too much of a police matter. and yet, it's a police matter, but if you look during the meeting today, i got a tweet of
2:02 am
an article coming in. woman who had a 200,000-dollar thing, she's out there still graffitiing police cars and stuff. there is only so much the police can do no matter how good they are and the judges, they see everything. they say we can't just fine people more for this. i think a lot of is the people of san francisco having the same point of view. it's not really a view of the efficient hearing on the board. there is too much of going there. the other thing i want to say about myself is i made myself an expert. i'm probably the top expert in going to the sf-one or data portal and getting all the informatio information out there. so last year, there were 58,000 graffiti reports into the 3-1-1
2:03 am
system. 58,000! it's a lot of graffiti for a city the size of san francisco. the numbers are going up. that was 11,000 more graffiti reports than in 2014. just three months so far in this year we're already 5,500 graffiti reports higher than last year. can you go to the graffiti advisory report? they're supposed to send to the mayor and ask them what is happening? no. the report hasn't happened. they're doing good things but the main thing they -- main task is on page three and five of the packet for you isn't happening. what is happening is it's not so much -- i have the expertise that i'd like to use. what is happening is the app. on the phone now you can go and put in a report graffiti an the quality of data is so much
2:04 am
better than when people call up. phone calls are calling like 4, 5 and $6 per phone call. it's lower on this. plus you get g.p.s. and a goat. whaother things like that. you see a lot of the youtubeer typ -- the uber tieb thing anububer type of thing. that's where we ought to be as a graffiti thing putting our efforts into using this great data that is now available through the app and have them cleaned up. and some of the commercial organizations are the worst offenders. yes, we can look at the graffiti vandals, but we have to look at who are the institutions or
2:05 am
large governmental people or the pg&e, at&t, u.s. postal offices that have a lot of property in san francisco and a lot of graffiti and it's not cloned up quickly enough. chairman tang, i wept to your office and spoke with the people trying to say why it is. i heard back the constituents are calling in and saying we're reporting the graffiti and it's not being cleaned up. that's where the anger point on this is. that should be another thing that very much the board should be doing. the technology is there. the pictures are there. it's not like before when it was called in and someone would say it's new graffiti. if you have the picture and time stamp, it's closed. i sent -- 30 times it was handwritten sent to pg&e and it
2:06 am
wasn't cleaned up. there are groups out there that are not responding when the graffiti is done. i have this hope, like graffiti and crime is collocating. maybe it's a bit of a dream if you clean up the streets and that, that there will be less crime, but some of it is there. if we keep the data cleaner, we can find out, is it true if you clean up the graffiti quickly, you check that it's been cleaned up quickly, tack be done. i'm a resident, i feel, i've made myself an expert on it. i believe the res depsy required is there. jana brings a good voice out there. what she says is correct, but i think i bring another voice that needs to be heard. as a group, the advisory board doesn't hear my voice.
2:07 am
the people who have my voice live in an area with graffiti afternoo often if you have. >> thank you very much. any questions? commissioner cohen. >> i'm in agreement with mr. dillon's assessment of priority given to folks that live in san francisco. i agree that that should be a priority. given my policy, i've sat on rules committee for a long time and i prioritize those that live in san francisco. i agree with your assessment if you're outside san francisco and want to serve an there is no one interested in the san francisco, it should be given a priority. i'm in agreement with mr. dillon. i am concerned about miss amy landgraph. she applied for the see the but indicated she's never attended a meeting. in past, i'm uncomfortable
2:08 am
appointing someone to a body -- >> call on her though answer that question. >> that has not attended a meeting even developed a deep understanding for the public process. and so, -- >> i'd lick to address that. at the time of the application i hadn't been to a meeting but i've been to a couple meetings so far. so i've been a part of the board and trying to get involved and also a part of subcommittee as well for the fight the blight in may. >> with all due respect, attending a meeting, a couple of meetings doesn't really give me the confidence about your understanding of the dynamics of how things are ton in san francisco or the different subject matters this commission takes up.
2:09 am
president breed has taken a great interest in the graffiti task force and has done a lot of work. passing legislation. issues penalties around this issue. i at that share the concerns. i represent the southeastern neighborhoods. they are affected by graffiti. i would love to see a more aggressive approach to punishment for graffiti artists that continue to deface both public and private property. i agree with mr. dillon it's not a police matter. police have their handsful. and it's hard to capture and prosecute graffiti artists. that means that the commission becomes even more -- the commission and task force becomes more relevant and important in this role.
2:10 am
that's all i have. >> i would say that for see the 17, i hear you soop viers cohen. for see the 17, the callfication is that person must represent the contracting agency for municipal railway shelters. so it's a pretty specific role, although generally speaking we'd love to have the previous experience, this calls for a representative from that particular company. >> fair enough, but that's -- >> you could speak during public comment, actually. supervisor mar. >> i'm in agreement with supervisor cohen on both issues of a local resident for see the 18 though i really appreciate miss lord's many years and vice chairmanship and years of service on the body and i agree with chair tang that it's basically the contracting agency for the municipal railway
2:11 am
shelters that the appointee for see the 17 and the ep enthusiasm and experience from miss landgraph is appreciated and i'll be supportive of you for that. i believe mr. dillon as the local resident with so much involvement in the mission and a lot of issues that he brought up. i appreciate of your watchdog approach and your g.i.s. and mapping effort to bring that to the body as well. >> thank you. so if there are no further questions, i'm going to open up item five to public comment. >> thank you. >> my name is jana lord. points ever claire if i case and comment. point of clarification on that large se seat. mrgs ta had two seats on the board and they were having
2:12 am
trouble filling both. we decided t decide consolidate and create. we were talking about a large seat before we discussed the would seats on the boord, then it became an issue they couldn't get a second person. we decided instead of creating an additional seat and keeping two mta seat, we let go of one mta. district that greg is from is represented by a resident of the city of san francisco. also, another thing is almost every single person on the board and we are ea talking about 25 members seat 17 has always been non-resident because of clear channel and seat 18. the board is well represented by residence. we allow everyone from the public to join our meeting.
2:13 am
that's how greg is involved. he comes to the meetings and given the opportunity to speak or provide input that can help us. he's more than welcome to help us on our sub committees and huddle conference that we're having in may. he can be involved, i just wanted to point out the clarification on seat 18. the original purpose was there are board members on -- there are seats on the board that are not necessarily represented by each district. what if that person who has been seriously involved is no longer a member of sfr we'd want to retain that person. academy of arts as well. she is ate reason that we considered the at-large member seat originally. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> >> i wanted to say that. ♪ graffiti walls ♪ all look the same
2:14 am
12349 only the wright has been changed ♪ ♪ fix it up ♪ like a miracle ♪ a true blue ♪ spectacle ♪ miracle ♪ and pick a pick a good candidate ♪ ♪ won't you >> any members of public who wish to speak on item five. seeing none, public comment is now closed. >> if i may -- >> supervisor cohen. >> miss lord thank you for the explaining the seat at large for seat 18. it was actually -- it has softened my position. i will be supporting you. the reason why i'll support you is because you have strong recommendations from staff. and also, it's interesting. if the majority of body compli complies with san francisco, i think we can take a reverse perspective of diversity from
2:15 am
someone on outside coming in toe vied a different perspective. i value that. it's different from my normal thinking. usually i think san franciscans we have it all and figure it out and do the best. there might be some value in having two outsider, pardon the expression, and amy, i will be supporting your request to be placed in seat 17. thank you. >> supervisor mar. >> i'm shifting, again as first feeling that miss lord's continuity of the years of experience, but having two people so connected with clear channel, really one of the large corporations worries me. though i know miss lord has left the organization, i believe. i think we need neighborhood-based at advocate
2:16 am
advocates like mr. dillon to be represented. though i support miss lord for seat 17, i would support mr. dillon as a watchdog and experienced person who has been involved even though he's thot a member. i think it's important that we reward his governmen involvement on the body even though tees' not a member. it helps to empower him and the neighborhood he comes from as appointing another person from l lafayette on this body. >> obviously for seat 17, i'm in support of miss landgraph moving forward will. for seat 18, i have a preference for mr. dillon because he's attended meetings for the last would years even being not on the board. i'd love for him toen continue
2:17 am
on that board. nothing to take away from miss lord, she's done great things for the board. it's a matter of two seats with three applicants. >> i move miss landgraph for seat 17 and mr. dilling for seat 18. >> we take that without objection. congratulations. we can call item six now. >> item six is a hearing to consider three members ending january 21st, 2019 to the mental health board. >> we had to do a residency waiver, correct? >> yes. >> may we have a vote to rescind the vote for item five. for seat 17 we need a residentsy waiver. >> i second. >> thank you. now item six.

2:19 am
to survival. it's been, as i said, very frightening at times. so mental illness came out of nowhere. with no family history, no no one family history. we had no previous knowledge or education about all the ramifications of a diagnosis like this of mental illness. probably the same for those in the dark. we continue to be challenged as she learns to live under a new normal. which all the family members do. all her friend, all her communities. networks that she's volunteered a lot for. namely namy and dbsa who are
2:20 am
wonderful networks for us who don't know who to talk to or where to go and they're wonderful resources for the consumer, for the family members and for the community at large. i credit them largely for our sanity. i have no experience, actually, i'm not an expert in mental illness with all that i've tried to learn, what we've experienced. but i do want to say that our experiences, my experience i've gained with her bipolar disorder, her struggles has given me a sensitive perspective about the realm of mental illness. so i hope to possibly help
2:21 am

2:39 am
chirrack bakta. what i've witnessed over the time that with we've spent working together is chirraz doing everything to educate himself on all sides of the issue. he not only looks toward the representatives from our community, and opinions of elected officials and people who have had a lot of experience if the situation, but he looks at the experiences of those of the most vulnerable populations of san francisco. those who don't always have the opportunity to share their voice. the immigrant populations, sro, low income populations. lgbtq members and people who are on disability or things that have nature. so it's really important to have somebody on this committee who has ties with people who are actually being affected most by
2:40 am
a lot of things that are happening in the city. he cares a lot about diversity and the effects on everybody in this city. and also, does so much research and a lot of thorough investigation to figure out historical context and important effects of projects. so thank you very much for hearing out what the community has to say about his appointment and i really think that it would be a great asset to this committee to have him. thank you. >> thank you very much. any other members of the public who wish to speak on item eight? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues. >> i move appointment to seat 1 of chirrazz bakta so seat 8. >> i support that. >> seconded by supervisor cohen. before we move on to item nine, we're going to tack a bit of a

3:42 am
center realm plan i shared you with a letter to the rec and park commission that appointment their neglect of the plaza for 50 years that neglect and ignorance is more pervasive last year the citizen annual the aa charter noted it and form of the celebration that was held for city hall treated it as a prestanding building not related to a carefully planned civic center the most complete in the country during any many years of working on the civic center api i've examined whether available in writing about the civic center and there's not much that is available generally a.d. actuated and immature and perhaps full of errors not my intention to write this about
3:43 am
the civic center but having searched and offered motorbike none wanted to take it on a number of years ago i decided to try my hand at that with the help of the san francisco museum and historical society arresting not i've published in 3 sections that i have bound and made available to you on the sacramento cover the section is the most recent i sent it to the mayor with a cover letter i make two points one that is sort of random information nobody is really known about civic center is a product of that an mask exposition company the james ralph ran for mayor and through him create the civic center that
3:44 am
is basically, the second dimension of the i key it was not referred to last year the celebration of the pc i e and so forth but not gotten into any of the resist parts and ralph provided the leadership to build the civic center a master planner which is john howard that seems to be left out of the public remembrances and people think that the civic center was that developed by daniel when was dead at that time, and he is the man who designed civic center place city hall and ran the competition for city hall and supervised the architect and really is the man most responsible i bring this document to you hopes you'll read it be the positive force in is civic center to the grander it should
3:45 am
be thank you. >> good afternoon osie with the charm so i'm here to voice our concerns about a new trend in the neighborhood noah valley the proliferation of the duplex if so a couple of years fighting monster homes and it seems to me the developers are sensing the favorable climate for adding to the housing stock and using that to push the same out of scale out of character homes that are basically a menace to our quality of life but under the invoice of adding to the city housing stock so later i was in a post application meeting believe it or not it is new to me i know the preapplication meeting organized by the developer and project sponsor
3:46 am
and they were going through the plans for transforming this little small house in noah valley to a 5 thousand plus square feet and on top of they were going to transfer a garden shed to auxiliary use we questioned the legitimate and said this is something approved by supervisor wiener and mayor ed lee and objective the intent of the whatever has been pass at adu is not for people to change their garden sheriff's deputy to in-law unit that the points out to the enormity of the problem not only the arc changing take instead of building monster homes there was a backlash but moving to monster duplexes but
3:47 am
taking every bit of what exists in the backyard and storage and garden sheriff's office to pass it as in-law unit liveable space my question to you is when is this city going to update the planning code and giles to deal with that out of scale and out of character development and construction because to use it didn't matter if so it a single-family home or the other duplex that is enormous and a mention us to our quality of life every week almost you are here to hear or approve multi unit projects today, i have one before you one and 60 units those units are no more than a thousand square feet some are seven hundred feet why is it
3:48 am
okay for the western neighborhoods to bear the brunts of 2 thousand plus square feet it is not right. i urge you to change the code or is guidelines to help us that's it thank you very much. >> is there any general public comment okay i don't see any public comment is closed. >> commissioner vice president richards one item to note my understanding of the adu legislation was it had to stay within the envelope of the existing building. >> commissioners commissioners, if there's nothing further, we'll move on to to our regular calendar item 7 for case planning code sections this is a planning code amendment. >> thank you
3:49 am
tina changing with the approval of the block alley and rooftop screening and inclusionary code and to make finding make an adopted finding under the sections mention the general plan that will result in application of the mid block alley control as applicable and to adjacent districts with the fillmore and fulsome street and rc d once the ordinance is made on march 3 this is both controlled for the sections will now apply to building that have alley frontage rather than just street frontage they, of course, have to have the frontage on more than two hundred feet and length the promoted amendment will allow no more flexibility of the closure with the design review allowing the maximize permitted
3:50 am
height up to 100 percent of the roof area today, the department got one letter the department recommends the commission recommend to the board of supervisors with the planning code to sections and make an adopted finding under the planning code section and the general plan that concludes my presentation. and i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> project sponsor please. no project sponsor. >> is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner moore. >> ms. thanking one question i think that goes to when we - this includes the removal of obsolete equipment on the roof
3:51 am
prior to permitting any new this is something we've discussed but might be referenced in this decision. >> this didn't discuss the removal or existing equipment it is more talking about the screening of equipment for proposed new construction however, i suppose that the closure will be proposed for existing building not fiscal the removal of new commit equipment. >> the adding of new equipment that means replacement and new equipment to acknowledge the changes i wanted to see cross referenced all new equipment will have to be removed once we start to exchange or remove
3:52 am
equipment to exchange equipment add new equipment a cross-reference to some provisions old equipment has to be removed. >> it there the legislation didn't touch the equipment only the screening of the equipment mechanical equipment chronicles the mechanical equipment on roofs didn't change whatsoever and it not touch the equipment. >> i think the xishgsz is suggesting we add a provision that seems we could probably do that within the context of this legislation that legislation can apply it to existing buildings; right? >> i suppose. >> so the suggestion is simply adding a provision when the closures occur the old equipment be removed that is doable.
3:53 am
>> oh, sure okay got it thanks. >> knott's berry farm. >> hi sorry i'm still kate dlul maybe i suggest the staff seize the envision is elsewhere we have one we just passed some changes that would require 10 year reapprovals of mechanical equipment for failure equipment that includes the need to remove old equipment if it is obsolete and in addition even before that we also looked at some rule changes that make it so if you're going to - asking for a new cu you have to take old equipment before you, implement the equipment on new buildings we have a couple of ways to address that i want to make sure
3:54 am
we're not crossing wires ensue i go agree with exposure that if we are covered there. >> i may remind the commission when we discussed hospitals which have a special stand-offs not for the first time that was adopted to equipment and changing equipment but now we're puppy want to see a general reluctant to codify somethings. >> i remember the conversation around hospital equipment i think we passed something in regards to equipment in general i can't remember if it was an official planning code change or who it was unofficial if if you're applying for a cu property you're looking you have to agree to take out the old equipment. >> it is related to cellular
3:55 am
tenants i don't recall the other legislation by i think that was for macro and micro but i can't remember. >> we'll make sure there is consistentcy the code. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. abdomen of clarification from reading the report that legislation in eermentsz south of market, mixed use and south of market c-3. >> it is. >> the only areas not have a bearing on the areas north of market. >> sorry the mid block alley controls only applied to those districts and the ones that are adam so correct north of market and the c-3 the alley controls will not apply and on the clarification of the 60 percent open to the sky we have those discussions often for the benefit of the public and for us
3:56 am
to just means any addition to an existing building under new construction can't block the sunlight. >> so within the block alley has to meet for example, it must be 20 feet wide and for that entire portion of the mid block alley unless the 60 percent open to the sky 40 percent can be covered after a 15 foot head height clearance there could be building within the members of the public may address the san francisco local agency formation commission up to 40ers of the mid block alley does that make sense and so if. >> we're talking about covering something the alley or the shade the alley. >> permitted obstruction for like bay windows and balconies and things like that would be permit as long as they were not provided within 15 feet of first
3:57 am
15 feet of height in the mid block alley but after that a building or a covering could theoretically be mrs. is the mid block alley if it didn't cover anymo 60 percent. >> rather than a - >> it would be a big bay over 40 percent of the bay. >> if it was a bay window not complying with section 46 if it has to comply that the regulations and controls for permitted obstructions but the code allows for some buildings to be within the mid block alley. >> okay. thank you i understand. >> commissioner moore. >> i also spoken.
3:58 am
>> is commissioner vice president richards. >> move to approve. >> second. >> yeah. is that do you want to make that amendment. >> yes. that will be amended to add a what are we are doing. >> recommend. >> to recommend adding a provision that out-of-date or out mooted equipment has to be removed bringing before. >> correct. >> thank you commissioners commissioner vice president richards and commissioner johnson a motion for a recommendations for approval of the planning code as amended to include looking at obsolete equipment it's removal. >> commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner wu commissioner vice president richards and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero and places you on item 8
