damaged or in disrepair and great example of that the stained bridget million dollars were spent to renovate, upgrade the seismic capacity that building and also to restore the area right before it was pretty close to lost altogether in addition it provides a thoughtful adjunct to the transportation for muni that muni is a primer way the students get around and through the campus shuttle system that is had not been you get and according to city staff is, in fact, improved significantly so that's a little bit about the academy let's talk about the project what is the project the project is really

entitlements for existing educational facilities continued the academic mission and distinctly not a building by building review of what might happen to one building or another building but consideration and, in fact, that's the way it's been portrait in the e s t m and eir the academy project is a description of all the activities the approvals for educational facilities as you may know are going to be considered at an appropriate time by you and you can see the kinds of uses all standard traditional academic institutional uses and in addition we seeking approvals for student housing another element is interval to the operation of universities and colleges

in fact, the academy of art operates 18 hundred beds and authorized to accommodate 20 percent of onsite students consistent with the directive of the general plan and 2/3rd's of them are clustered close together on central street and union square and sharing lounlz and other dining facilities but you know in this city as we know you don't have a project it is present without offering public benefits and we wanted to highlight now the public benefits that the academy has offered and wish to communicate them pubically to you at this point. >> and you'll see the areas in which overseeing benefits fall let me review them one at a time

in housing the academy will set aside an entire dormitory for one term of long term affordable housing it will create more student housing by convert an existing tourist hotel to student housing that will xruk a new dormitory on an underutilized site next to exist student housing and will meet outline future student housing by adding san francisco housing stock they they make payments a total of $10 million in impact fees for housing and transportation and parks and other public benefits it would be implementing conditions of approval and mitigation measures these are the ones that have been generally suggested or outlined in the eir and e s t m

and refined with the planning staff and ultimately adopted by the planning commission and how we protect the city's interests in seeing those benefits are provided we have the use of a development agreement common doesn't say used to insure that the obligations of the developers are, in fact, performed and the benefits to be conferred on the owner of the property the academy will be honored that will come back but approval by the planning commission of all the terms and conditions you have to be approved by the board of supervisors a complete policy review and consideration and will have to be done with the advice from the city attorney's office because

overall this is guided by the first instance the commission. >> you know closing out if you in fact on this well what happens in the academy didn't behave what happens the academy has proposed a strong enforcement measure that will include negotiating a pint and agreeing to a stipulated judgment for the people non-lawyers adding upon judgment this is in the hands of the city and at the depreciation from the items are not adhered to can be in court court that provides strong assurance anymore storageer than anything or a lawsuit could provide

now looking at the fire chief the academy wants a beneficial policy for all the espn and the eir for conducive dialogue we want to work with the planning department and other city agencies on a package of entitlements and benefits to the whole project like other projects and we lord to that opportunity thank you. >> thank you. i appreciate the recommendation if au. >> opening up for public comment

(calling names). >> sue hester this is going to be a supplement to any written comments we've been dealing with the academy of arts since out of

compliance in 1990 this is what they say is their spirit of influence they're interested in acquiring new buildings this is 6 buildings on here but the reality of what the city is dealing with is not only a 6 buildings on the previous sheet but that a good morning ration of residential- if they filed an im p we wouldn't be here today, there 0 would have been commission consideration of this mass right here that is lower nob hill of upper tenderloin you see this visually the grid is xhaevengsz of

residents that is a neighborhood and neighborhood that has historically had a lot of working class housing this was a residential hotels that have dooefrng rooms as well as apartment buildings and what we have had it is decimation of a neighborhood in a e stn we need direction from the commission how to deal with housing first of all, we need to say they must build housing this is what the planning commission would have done at any point had an i imp and they've increased 5 hundred percent without any direction from the city of how they deal with the

increased housing load and the increased campus what you should do is require them to build housing i disagree with some of the parts the staff's recommendation they say you can keep one 50 hayes as an administrative building that sites is surrounding by housing housing that is approved by the department that site which guess triple a number 3 should be absolutely housing it is appropriate, and we got to supply keep a lot of the housing other people will talk about other aspects but the big thing you need to take home they've decimated the neighborhood we need housing back.

>> hello commissioners. i'm chris schaffer i'm a resident of university terrace that is tota university of san francisco and as a neighbor i ended up being an expert in academic institutional master plans even though i didn't plan in contrast to how usf handed the master plan and the comedian academy of art i'm insulted as a resident by some such a bad actor usf let's look at the holistic plan the attorneys suggested that aau is working on and first of all, housing shouldn't have been taken away from resident a student is not a resident of san francisco

usf is building resident 6 hundred plus bed dormitory and figured out how to get that funded the universities should building housing and not take away your the stock and residents and under the holistic approach even if you look at what creation and this group has seen me talk about recreation the academy of art uses 22 facilities mostly public and some private to provide the recreation and i don't know what that one little small center will do for the award-winning teams the third of the issue is transportation everyone should have a traveling management plan and a student have a fast pass not on muni and not having the vans double parked in the city we have to

crawl around the vans on a street their bicycling and the students are not using the bikes not - i really urge you commissioners to ask for a holistic solutions where everyone end up go about a good actor university are a large part of the fabric we need to have them perform in a way that is consistent with the citizens here of san francisco thank you. >> hello commissioners outreaching i've spoken about that before and talked about how i as a landlord get fined every time i had a violation and, in fact, one of my tenants that owed money to tax had a sheriff in the restaurant collecting

from the actual every time a plate got sold why have we not enforced those laws and fines we could be building more housing and allow 24 university to not only take the sros and convert them illegally and allow them to keep on doing this not fine or collect the fines i shouldn't have to pay that business taxes due on the 31st if they get away with murder why don't we not pay once again please they're not getting losses i ride a bicycle there are a menus you're talking about the environmental consequences and the idling buses and the shuttles going before and after crowding the streets so many reasons to crack

down on this school this is going on since the 90s please do you can please protect the public please do so. >> good afternoon, commissioners after a long hiatus i'm back the existing sites technical memorandum talks about the housing less than smaller in demand but the e s t m the data is missing it talks about an increase no housing displaced and reduction in the housing supplies and what has the city asked did aau to help out the for profit school is not building housing as needed for future populations other

nonprofits are building housing and accommodating with master plans and other accommodation in terms of ceqa currently that is level of service but it is going through the vehicle miles traveled what is the total number of miles by the a example u shutters and maybe some of the routes should be disconnected if the report it talks about the emissions studying the air quality management and for car share didn't apply to non-residential buildings and aau has vehicles that are putting pressure on parking what has aau done with the community to be aligned with the sustainability program and planning need to work with sfmta. >> other agencies to solve

this problem. >> let's gather more data for the espn and incorporate them and put them in the understanding it in the upcoming eir in 2016 and had this less than one hundred and 50 words for the minutes it shows exactly what i've talked about thank you. >> thank you and. >> next speaker. >> another card joan. >> good afternoon. i'm magic thank you for hearing go me today, i also last week to ask to refer to the public not the audience seems to be endemic every public meeting we're audience when is a completely powerfully statement i'll appreciate that changed so i'm not up to snuff as i am but be to an vandal

they've broken the law and taken over the law and they're not the fines are not collected and their supposed to be back as bad actors and approve what is done illegally if that's the case an afternoon sense couldn't do that i'm glad the historic - the city college some of this college is breaking the law left and right and in the fined able to go forward and try to make up for what we knew with which is illegal in the first place they couldn't have not known they're taking unaware way from the pool of affordable housing it is an odd thing affordable housing and i guess what we call unaffordable housing what kind of a society i talked with 5

police officers and used e to live in the city and can't find a place to live in the city some of them are natives this is the academy of science can present a high standard institution and then steal those so needed rooms and housing in the tenderloin and then we say okay. let's all review this and spend public time trying to make it work and fine them a little bit no, they shouldn't be able to break the law and have another chance and the public is saying this for ages it is just plan wrong thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners i have some letters here i'm going to to hand i want to

mention a few things it seems to me i've been here on one issue we have a problem with enforcement some people have to obey the laws and some are punish and some aren't we're in a situation well, we'll seen this development agreement then we'll start obeying the laws and paying the fines and we'll negotiate that is rather strange i don't believe too many 09 institutions or private individuals will consider making that kind of a statement it seems like it is out of hand this is the kind of issues the public has to deal with when it comes to this kind of situations we're hoping that has commissioners you will take this situation into consideration and

really possibly if there is some buildings they have taken and not done anything wrong los allow those to continue with staff whatever the illegal use i want to thank the enforcement officers a lot of work has been done since lack of enforcement in general as far as i'm aware of at least new money that is gone into hire new people to work on this i think is the general rule that is going forward in the very reasonable fashion somewhat that when it comes to something that big and this ridiculous as going on for this long 0 all of a sudden say it's okay. people are living industrial and pdr space we're going to prove that and let it

go they're two big for us to fight the thank with a building in any neighborhood i understand what was the correct building was allowed to proceed as office space because it was all the building a factory and all industrial and it is supposed to be all pdr but oh, that's okay we'll let it go pdr in the bottom floor i'm quite sure i live nearby and hopefully keep it there and not that let that go by the way those are issues that are driving a lot of public dissatisfaction it's not your fault i'm not blaum but the city government we'd like to see changes coming down pretty soon if we don't give the public more

respect thank you. >> hi my name is marie sorenson i guess the rules of thumb the bigger the sleazier you can act i want to thank the planning for the record why did it take so long academy of art is an insult to taxpayer and homeowners and business owner and renter everything in san francisco people who have followed the rules why is that academy of art never has they operate and future compliance i guess we'll have at city could go after us how about right now tare they've been not compliant in so - for so many years they operate they operate above everyone else and not have to

follow the rules overall after all i have google and this and that it is for property school making millions of dollars let's talk about the buildings they are housing people how many people got evicted so they could put their students in i think that is probably a rather their probably have been a lot of people how about - i'm a homeowner i share a home with two other people we do projects we have to get continuances we have to get permits we have to pay everyone someone comes over only to turn us down they have a bad day

beyond why normal people don't get the same consideration the academy of art is given all those years we struggle and the academy of art have been given a free pass for so long they don't care anymore hold their feet to the fire. >> okay john. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is a john i'm very interested to comment on the missing information that is not before you in this informational hearing

i'm very concerned about where we have a ray array of data about the properties but one thing that is missing this is who owns those properties what is the name of property owner for those properties and i have seen in the past that the owner is not academy of art and yet academy of art having these properties to use for student housing the private owner required the properties from the previous owner based on income flow through the properties that was there was

really depressed by the fact we have rent control and rent-controlled units having had a income lower if they had been vacant on the market now 80 an owner that turns around and gives this to the institution to basically and the institution does some things maybe the properties get vacated at that point they go to market and institutions and market rents per bed as opposed to what was rent-controlled unit per unit we're talking about a four or five hundred percent increase in the income coming from the properties to off offer the 4

bed owner and noriega the academy of art i ask you to look at the record and see the use of academy brought us you recruiter students rather than from the state and the federal government how many of the students they've recruited graduated how many of them were spit out and actually were paid for that rent in the housing units and now don't have a certify to go by that's information that should be before you thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is chris martin i'd like to speak on the property conversion of retail to

the institutional used as the e s t m states 2295 taylor street is within the north beach neighborhood commercial district and the north beach special use district which encourages medium scale and mixed use commercial residential uses columbus as you may know columbus avenue is the heart of north beach and connects the northern with the northern waterfront and aquatic park the in which commercial district controls are intended to protect and sure the viability of north beach with its cafes and local teachers and small businesses and new brunswick the aau has done the

modifications to taylor street without public review arrest permits assess to the building is rejected and it requires a card-key for entry it is not an tuff storefront and didn't contribute to the active uses along columbus avenue and doesn't stimulate public and dead zone on a boulevard that needs life and activity the building that is on that corner of cellist nut and columbus and taylor a dominant location one of the original gap that the fischer's opened better use than a studio i'd like to speak about a building i'm familiar my family owned and operated the cannery

several years ago the department of the planning a danish known for improving urban centers by the design forwards the pedestrians among the recommendations to create on uninterrupted waterfront promenade improving the pedestrian environment of the wafer and improving the greater frontage quality with sidewalk cafes and encouraging activities the aau at the cannery is counter to his vision creates a dead block and jefferson street many people will viefrn gone the sidewalk cafes and the retail stores the public spaces that are scomplaptd and festival entertainment and faefrmz and other activities thank you.

>> good afternoon, commissioners my name is paul wormer i believe that you received an e-mail from the pacific trust on this issue talking about the concerns about illegal conversions the need to replace or restore housing that has been removed from public use and the concern about the spread i won't go into the first two but point out on the map i'm stealing someone's idea here but those little boxes

are the locations today and the colored squares are the study areas so what we're seeing is aau is looking at the city how are we're going to continue our straw now i am a chemist and involved in green house gas emissions and global warming nine out of ten since the early 1990s is there a single contributor reason why we should approve a business with conditional use by the design of property use praedz out over such a large area is only users a shuttle bus that runs during business hours and into the evening how is that good for the city not only in

terms of of green house gas emissions and all the impacts of traffic this stall is really if they're developing a real estate empire and acquiring property as a real estate entity that make sense if you're talking about creating an institution that is certain objectives that requires people to get together and work together this is not good it is not good for the city, it's not good for housing and i guess my substantive comment with respect to the example e p n and draft eir they're not looking at the problem in those documents and how were you able to assess the real impacts without looking at those sorts of overlays and integration you can make an

informed decision about what is being proposed and should those uses be granted owner is clearly fine but what are the uses and is that worth changing what we're doing operate comments on the proposals allow the museums proposals when 33 these come before you thank these come before you thank these come befe you thank you. >> hi, i'm joan part after a theory community you see actresses on stages and hear the music in clubs most of them don't live in the city years ago this hearing would have been packed with actors committed long term to the city now they're gone they have

condominium to other cities they - the obviously it is policy has been it's message to create flaps on the ground you're asked to ratify. every piece of residential building and ever sro that you allow them to convert is an insult to the disappeared locating workers and artist that could have lived there >> thank you. >> public comment? >> not seeing any, public comment is closed. commissioner antonini. >> thanks to staff who did an absolutely amazing job on the e s t m i was impressed with the authorness and in fact, many cases it crafted impacts if 2010

with 2016 which really gave us the idea what is now happening relate to the impacts in 2010 so i think that is very important i think we have to remember is that there are a lot of things that on a he had to go through the approval process perhaps not be approved perhaps be eliminated but this is a huge institution with a huge impact and we have to bear in mind for example, if housing was eliminated for the students of the academy of art as currently housed they'll be fighting with other people for existing housing somewhere in the city we have to look at that has as consequence of how this is handled and so one of the things i'd like to to suggest staff is suggesting some of the housing not approved but another

mitigating measure would be the approval of the building by the academy of housing to replace the housing used ♪ instances and allow that housing into residential unit that allows it in rent control if this is a building that was old enough for rent controlled that swob would a solution to part of problem i saw our recommendations on various housing i think some of the ones from tourist hotels and other uses that never were long term housing should be allowed to stay i go ago with that you look at carefully the existing housing to see how we create something that creates new housing and accommodates the need to students who were currently at the academy because there are any institutions in san francisco i was a student that does not provide housing

for the graduate students compete in the marketplace >> on the other issue you talked the industrial land i think like most of recommendation we have to be really look at these uses there are possibly somewhere the academy uses those industrial sites for training in the trades and skills needed in industry so that could be considered a pdr use if this is training people in the soft skills that are no longer available we used to have holidays like poly and other schools that specialized in you know oakland tech it was a technical school a system of public schools worked in training for the skills needed in technical jobs auto shop we

don't see much of that anywhere those are important po to look at some of the uses in industrial areas and other things on vacant ground floor retail i think we have to anytime we look at this we have to look at is there a lot of vacant space around where they're using or convert into institutional uses we have to bear in mind when we make our decision as to allow this conversion or not office to institutional uses i think we have to look at the scope of the building too as pointed out by the academy there are some buildings that might be better suited our an institutional rather than a office space with high ceilings or something that suits itself for that sort of usage that is not as well-used for office

anywhere anymore and not we're building a lot of new office we have bear in mind those uses and talk about the religious and those are some of the things a good thing being done by the academy like saint bridges and first congregation that have likely been demolished or possibly would have been if it was taken over over by the academy seismically retrofit and for profit they pay property tax not the case when we were a rig institution your recommendations sounds like a wise one to me and a couple of other things i

noticed in here looks like in terms of process of the planning commission will hear any planning code changes first before the board of supervisors so i think i understand what the process is there your study requests very good it looks like the period from 2010 to 2016 the academy came less dense in terms of number of students number of staff and number of students in shuttles so that was an important to know there was a significant downward trend for a variety of reasons a lot more online and perhaps a lot of students taking advantage of other types of transportation rather than using the shuttles and then the the other they know might have missed it the signs and window i assume those have

been corrected i know we worked the academy for a lot of years to have the signs eliminated and then the life safety changes i think that is important to point out which ones have been done and not done because that is a very first priority to take care of the life safety that remains i like the idea of our draft transportation plan i think a lot of step in the right direction and a long laborious problem the problem will not go away it doesn't make sense this is an existing institution they need to be compliant and pay all the fines and all the things they've done in the past and then i think this is a big job but happy it is getting started. >> commissioner wu.

>> i wanted to ask staff in order to look at himself well, first of all, this report is good a lot of good information the e stn you've created something good whether or not good or bad on the housing you've used the criteria of not recommending approval with higher density how that applies to the building others 1916 octavia. >> yeah. >> sorry giving me one second. >> so the property on 1916 aortic is zoned r507 so it would

be the maximize density would be two dwelling units and the last use was says here residential hotel i think i'll have to double check that might be different from we were understanding with when we were evaluating it but generally because rh2 if left to the open market basically revert to a 2 dwelling unit. >> i'd like to see more history maybe i think that the fact it says illegal use of 22 hotel units brings up a different concept may or may not actually be higher density but maybe the criteria t should look at something more like or like

resulting in addition units of housing 22 seems the same to me. >> definitely if we found it was residential hotel. >> there was a mixed history i think the records indicated residential car facility or senior housing but go back on the math it will be converted to a 2 unit building this was an dense use. >> okay. thank you. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much i also echo that staff did a fantastic job on this report a great standard how we look at the properties how they're used and the environmental impacts so this is really, really great work and very helpful for us i

remember when we were talking about first started talking about the draft eir and in multiple hearings saw the draft eir the biggest question i believe most of commissioners was well, if the baseline is whatever it is today how can we really make the eir to make the project approvals in the future we know a history to those properties prior to the baseline when the draft eir was created and the espn answers that with the context with the feedback you asked the commission i'll start with the e stn great work is comprehensive the only thing that i will say about that i appreciated the inclusion of the

generation analysis in the transportation appendix but what i try to link that back to the description of the transportation circulation analysis and the housing impact analysis in the e stn some things that are missing i in many cases so when we talk about that we talk about transportation impacts we ocher have started off by talking about parking space as something that tends to induce trips i believe in the can say of an institution with a campus where especially with the heirs is not just random locations but specific locations that people in that student housing are supposed to be going to you can

make an inference between the housing and the level and the amount of trips that will be generate you know where those people are going and i kind of feel like the transportation and circulation analysis and and e stn didn't address that sort of address the way that the placement of their where they choose to have their student housing induces trips and i'm not sure this is part of the housing analysis or the transportation and circulation i felt like that was missing and the reason i say that that is something key to what i've heard in public utility public comment and various commissioners talking about when they talk about where the housing will be located and whether or not when

an inclination to look at the emersed to housing the location the uses those people are going to say not addressed in the espn i would maybe recommend that some sort of analysis statement to that effect be at but otherwise, it is great i think that is a fantastic compliment to the draft eir. >> in port of that comment about the e stn in terms of the will policy drivers drifshgz that denies the plagues i'll follow-up i mean with you for example, looking at sort of the high-level sort of green and red and in color reasons why the department will support or be inclined to support uses i would

say we should talk about explicit whether or not a housing use is in close proximity to the remaining campus for example, whether or not we are inclined to support conversions of certain used to certain other uses i think we should be considering the placement of housing to the uses that the academy of art expects that the students will be going to and disinclined to approve uses that are farther away from administrative and institutional uses i felt like had is something we should be adding an area we're looking at we're looking at whether or not we're inclined to support or deny a particular case and then 0 i think this is sort of my big one and other than that i have many

multiply comments an individual cases from my perspective i'm hoping that is most useful talking about the case individually i believe i'm very supportive generally of how we're grouping the cases in terms of looking at the different uses and the expectations and each assessment will be coming back before the placing and part of our staff report and choose to adopt those conditions of approval if you see factual errors in the e s t in we'll modify them in your packet to they'll be as complete as possible. >> i don't see any factual errors i think there were a couple of sites in the north beach area and also the marina where i have more specific

separate considerations about those particular properties and uses and what is there so i don't know if anything i'll say my impact what is in the e stn or staff report maybe we'll wait until we see the actual. >> - >> i agree they'll be discussed at the hearings. >> thank you. >> i think one person in public comment i forget the name before rose spoke mentioned no consideration of the affordability levels of housing that was converted to student housing and i can see the point i'll say i felt there was a good discussion in the individual studies of each property over which properties are rent controlled and not i guess the sum to close to talking about

the argument we don't have the income levels in particular, the tuff individuals live and work in the unit and finally generally speaking above and beyond any comments about the transportation circulations my perspective on what we're looking at to look at this passage aau is like any 09 institution that means they have to support the infrastructure that they need for their operation and their clients and in this case being the students some place in the organization a u their representative mentioned aau can be compared to other dense settings the difference i haven't seen in sort of intelligent and smart build out of their infrastructure ation or

denying them - an opportunity to guide them or urban campus not just a bunch of sites all over the place and cannibalizing other places in the city thank you very much. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> an awful lot here the first one to really hats off to the staff the stat staff was briernt couldn't have designed if it a better way with the references specifically page after page after page i realize that and if you add a column to move it in the same colors that my hat's

off makes it one hundred percent perfect the memorandum of understanding is amazing i have to fully read it and maybe memorial day weekend but out a source this to other cities a steadfast excellence. >> i know (laughter) now, one the other things i keep on saying every time that coups with a institutional master plan i really be the city needs to understand what the minimum policy thresholds for each institution for housing that needs to be provide for student body i look at difference post secondary institutions from 2 to 20 percent so we had hastings in the 20 percent and some in the single-digit range that in the future needs to be looked we

need to get each institution over a period of time that had been like building a newly creating using existing housing stock i'll say that one more time with that said, i want went to the emergency of pittsburgh spread out over many, many blocks like the aa you, we should shuts we walked a lot of hills not a bad thing we spaced our classes out to get there by walking rather than having to take take the shutter in hearing number one you do not i don't is a hours or horse in the race but i think around the economic vitally that brought to the city in terms of money that is come in with the students bring and spend like i said with the flip

side i think that is what we're dealing with today, the land use issues specifically around housing and i think commercial i guess, sir if you have a minute can i ask you a couple of questions. >> you presented on our slide a project not clear what the project was my question when you said that where do and don't you agree with the staff policy recommendations. >> i think the observations we've had that you have to look at the entire institution and all of the recommendations both for the existing sites that are covered by the e stn and those sites covered by the eir which are buildings that are nun of which are residential because the question here is how so the academy move forward to

function effectively in a way that makes if compatible with this city and improves of presence and tricks some you've mentioned that requires sitting down with the staff very and going through all of their recommendations which the director has said and said subject to change have that dialogue this is a what we're asking for to have that conducive dialogue now that the facts are in i rather than - >> i don't think building by building duration. >> maybe to staff i can this is call the roll possible it takes time what we're doing on a holistic basis we should look

that way if they were today to convert those uses from a to example or x to y what's the terms of avenue nexus study converting the uses of housing what are the fees generated i think one as well well on is flip side if we look at 9 time this building was converted from x to y and went back and made even though determination what are the most fines in terms of fines to get a picture on whether a $10 million settle settle is something we want to look at on a holistic basis i don't have enough context on the financial impacted from all this activities for lack of a better term so i'd like to see that kind of spreadsheet i don't know well someone brought up the eviction history

of the buildings i assumed no evacuees are buy outs but the part on the housing which is a big one in addition to several others if he were to take the units that are sro units and dwelling units and put them on the market the ownership or whether the liability corps that exist our or the trust of the au there would not be much penalty the students pay for semester and we charge them a market-rate i think 72 hours something b if we look at this in terms of an agreement go back to when we were converted and the rents and add the president 6 percent and say if this tenants stays this is generally what the rent will

be i know normally a standard turnover those units were to come back on the market and some type of on agreement should be based on the attrition rates of tenant but costing the tenants who have to be grounded some something logical. >> like the understanding an awful lot in the 7 or 8 hundred pages if we looked at the recommendations i generally agree with staff on the logic behind the recommends i have a couple of questions generally this is the way we want to say what's the impact in terms of the physical environment so i looked at the map and the goal make sense for the a example u to shrink the footprint to commissioner johnson point more

efficient not running shuttle one one person and none on them and traffic issues as well so i think understanding the recommendations and the actual impact on the environment would be something you would have a finger in the wind would be nice i think if there were some type of master agreement there has to be a told her on the tdm or have a shuttle is from want a to b but sorry no more shuttles; right? or increased the ridership we don't want the impact other than the environment to minimize it with the aau as well. commissioner johnson cannibalized i think the word would be open tunic- there was a

concentration in terms of relationship i think the one question on the staff recommendation is we have a real issue we're seeing permits for hotels yeah. i'd look those those sites and determine whether or not a molt can be demolished and made into a larger industry housing for students back into a higher level of percentage of students that actually live onsite those are far away from the core your i got to get if a to x maybe the

molts or backing with the housing dwelling units and retail underneath but as a landlord you have the opportunity to do that that and make trade offs and money i think again, i come back with some type of an overall agreement a lot of ann novelist - the a example has breached the public trust we kind of needs something akin to tobacco settlements 25 years of whatever we're going to put money into a pot and address the issues and subtractions and in order to get

the public trust back whatever has to have some type of account here's the money and if you step over the line we'll stipulate the judgment thirty days to mc make that better or there's a real way to get this in a timely manner that is looter things i've heard from the public one comment on one of the items one hundred 50 hayes ms. hester brought up should be use as what it was for so these are my comments >> thank you commissioner moore. >> i think the department deserves a remedies for a wonderful things how this is

handled is i'm impressed swpd having said that, that started with the first institutional master plan i've tried to figure out the mission of the school i'm sorry talking about a mission but it's delivery of teaching and in an urban settings what they teach has always been not clear to any of us saying that i think that is correct to observe the acquisition of properties more opportunity driven and the commissioners noted but with that comes indeed by now for definitely deserves a sprawl what an inability to get of where this conflict is and how severe and what it takes to rectify it is not for me to simply acknowledging their dr a code amendment but i think that

has ton driven by a better understanding of how the institution works and how it wants to work in the future because as the institution has grown it has always stated thai didn't want to describe how and where they operate partially because they consider themselves dynamic that's a fine word as 0 the reality of city planning the reasonable growth of policy and reality dynamic is the problem i want to pick up on the transportation comments made by other commissioners, i see for example, the sprawling shuttle become a liability in order to fully vault the effect one needs to look at where that operates but what is the effectiveness and years and years i think 12

the major observation i happy to live in the middle of the campus the shuttles are empty not only because they're small by the big ones and in between ones are more than 90 percent empty but they keep on going on and going on but i look at the effectiveness and who and where they're going and why are they going if the first place the memorandum of understanding needs to closer look at the full disclosure what is taught and how that relates to stds students and study a subject matter a proximity itself between xhamentsdz of students living in close proximity to

where they're going to school and what is going on we will continuing push the impacts ahead of us we can't fully gage at some point we have to commit to a more disclosure how the school operates because any of us be it the inner campus commissioner vice president richards went to the urban campus i went to we knew where we were were going it describes we were goes as engineering students or art or business students not changing all the time but in particular case i, only talk about my experience and the many condominiums there was a changing dynamic we need to bring some more clearly defined explanations to

unchanging the dynamics and making the circling more predictable and which buildings how we shape our own ability to support their approval for the institutions the next thing i'd like to say i'm interested to know what in historical preservation jurisdiction and our own what entering was facing we'll jointd looking at the policy issues that deal with what we're concerned about how is that handl handled. >> there are separate approvals required by the historic preservation commission i mean, we, detail a little bit marrow thoroughly if you want to know about that now but were certainly whether or not that is appropriate to have joint hearings month likely the issues

they're dealing with are specific and limited and probably not necessarily to have a great deal of interaction we can look at if it that make sense. >> we should support each other and pro tem other things into play that will be something i'll find permanent helpful i'm as interested in historic preservation as something we feed to support and them to understand our challenges and the last question this is something i might do in a memo to staff i have a couple of questions of traditional clarifications on the excellent memo and outline on the project update she gave his a number of policies i think there are 6 of them in some of those policies i would like to see additional

clarification of what is involved but not be the right forum here to further commit i'd like a few more descriptions in that. >> commissioner hillis. >> so first, i agree with my fellow commissioners on the thoroughness and usefulness of the staff report that was great to synthesize everything and i generally agree with the approach stabilizing the policy rationale behind when faced with the decisions about prfldz hif those would live in close

proximity we'll get for information particularly on the housing and the retail recommendations that are made i think many people brought up the housing issues that the city faces and you know we've taken offline housing how we rectify some of that specifically on the hotel xheshs there is a property on sutter street and 620 sutro i sutter street one requires a conditional use and one didn't specify why that's the case and the history of those, too they look like they were housing and converted to hotels but as we get more information and you have it now or part of the future discussion on - >> so the 1 open sutter street is that one of them.

>> no 817 the commodore and the 620 sutter street in the ones that is the kind of tourists hotels were those sro tourist hotels or? >> for both the legal use tourist hotels the reason for this they're in different zones and close in proximity one in the c-3 has a right and a the others in our core district requires the conditional use authorization. >> so the one in the c g allows student housing. >> it allows the group housing with as of right in the rc-4 is group housing. >> we get those in the fire chief it would building great to understand the 3 of them when

they were operate as kind of tourists hotels that sro slash third tourist hotel we've seen before so some understanding and also you know discussions come up about what percent of that student population is house in aau how that compares to other universities and i know that we've gotten, you know, part of this we're bringing issues related to the cus but the broader how will we enforce that thirty percent of students be occupied in aau owned facilities and questions about encouraging requiring new facilities be built for housing you know this process didn't necessarily give us that ability the

institutional master plan has been not a lot of teeth we talk about it and get accept the institutional master plan and their intent but you know it would be nice to get more teeth to that process as we go you know, i guess when those come back to us some recommendations how we address some of the longer issues brought up but i generally agree where this the the approach that was taken in the recommendations in the staff report. >> director rahaim. >> thank you. i want to kind of summarize what i heard in the commission and give us direction for the next two weeks the date july 28th that will be the next hearing we'll present the eir to you for conversation as well as the in violation of essentially part of the planning code changes for housing

i heard you said they generally supported the policy basis for the early recommendations with one addition which was to look at the assistant housing to the actual san francisco public utilities commission to try to address the transportation i heard a lot of support for looking holistically at all the buildings and looking at the intent of the campus that was kind of the intent for the policy basis recommendations but i think perhaps the thing to side when we come back with the first banish of approvals and disapproved approvals to have a discussion why in the context of the larger institutional property we'll be recommending approval or disapproval we'll do that a specific request about the octavia building do more

research for it this building where under the influence a question of dloefg into the policy basis look at the rationale and look at the benchmarking defines other institutions particularly on percentage of students that are housed trying to do that as well and then also at whole history of how the buildings but used if possible and looking at the potential fines and fees paid in the past having the building gone forward legacy that's the list i'm sure staff was taking notes but the list from the commissioners questions or comments into the next phase. >> okay commissioner moore. >> i wasn't. >> - >> okay. thank you very much great staff work additional look

forward to the next hearing in july. >> commissioners just as reminder 10 ab have been continued to june 2nd so the only remaining item on the agenda is general public comment. >> okay. any general public comment this afternoon. >> we'll let the room clear out for a second.

>> okay continuing on general public comment hello, again commissioners so as you all know we're fighting for the soul of our city each of us no matter position has an ethical obligation to help our community from becoming for profit playground for the rich i don't blame the rich or any of you we're part of the society that likes the rich and the famous for the soul purpose now is profit we're here before you with a deeper soul purpose to keep our teachers and laborers to raise their children and take

care of their elderly i've been to thousands of public meetings over the years like this one and time after time i've witnessed adjoin plans amended, zoning changed and financing offered from the city coffers when the public makes the case to live and work and breathe easier we're often told you're hands are tied there is always a way to defend the communities with will by supporting the essential purpose of laws that is to enhance a vibrant cultural and community be creative and listen to the publics comments and find a way to make sure that the beast only bryant is not a deficit to our city we're glad to hear this is delayed to off more chances to

negotiate with the developer and hopefully, they come to the table and listened and see do proposals public school not - this didn't have a enough of a profit factor this must be part of it from the beginning. >> let me call a few more names come on up, sir (calling names). >> yes david gibson thank you very much for letting me continue rewarding 10 ab you people have to stop this so is the mayor and public supervisors you will have to stop this i'm

tired people sleeping on bart trains and laundry mats that will add this has to stop two weeks of extension to meet with the people the private developers that's the bottom line this is has to stop, stop this nonsense thank you. >> good afternoon again commissioners i e-mailed a letter a couple days ago but probably got mary again, i'm not going to read the entire letter but thank you for continuing this matter we believe areas of negotiation with the developer and it is good we have the time and hope that you will, of

course, consider this things we've been asking for about one to one replacement for pdr and i guess sort of what we are seeing once again the deals with made and we just need to remember the people out in the streets who lost their homes because of these deals were made i guess was a shooting today so we'll be hearing about that again and how do we keep those situations from happening it seems like i saw the media ready to do a really big one day event with they'll deal with the homeless on the 29 i guess of this month and this is got to be contributing to the homeless situation that's what we're really concerned about we're concerned about the homeless

situation you've got to be concerned about gentrification because this is basically what is pushing everyone out of their homes and some people can afford to move to vallejo and some people not afford to move by allowing the affordable units and the affordability of the city to continue to skyrocket or slide or, however, you want to describe it we're contributing to the whole situation certainly not holding you getable but mart of the process, however, to slow it down is appreciated thank you. >> hi good afternoon, commissioners i'm tracey from pacific factory from the be on bryant coalition

and media alliance i want to say to you this afternoon as you consider this project and continued it once again that i'm really hoping you'll start lookings in a holistic way this is not the only mission based luxury project you'll see 6 more in the pipeline coming in the next 3 to 6 months and this is for a neighborhood where we have reached saturation point according tour how studies in the luxury housing marketplace a while guarantee ago what are we are doing we're studying and making the problem worse there is a disconnect between our stated tings and goals and the actions we're tail taking what the not possible but

predictable outcomes as those actions sometimes that happens we're not looking at things holistically but taking them project by project we can't afford to do that anymore in particular situation you have a concrete community-based proposal probably not perfect no proposal is but lace out the kind of taxed axes to turn those projects one by one into things we'll not center the exact predictable outcomes that we are saying in our reports over and over and over and over again, we can't have the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results 42 hours that needs to stop this project is a good place to say

if we want different outcomes do different things i encourage you to take advantage of this period of time to do something different and to do something better for our city and for this neighborhood thank you. >> hello commissioners my name is jonathan i stood there this commission 16 years ago and was asking the president annette harris if she would imagine a future of san francisco without arts a san francisco without musicians, a san francisco without communities or color and she was frustrated with my comments i was doing it in the voice of her

grandchildren and asking grandmother why this way would certificate of occupancy you have done and anyway she took about 30 seconds of my time to scold the audience for getting animated at which point i got my time back and i had 3 minutes and going to continue it speak the full 3 minutes even though you took 3 minutes of my time the buzzer rank they gaefld for a sheriff bailiff that wrestled me to the ground and made first page in the san jose and san francisco chronicle and open tribune and ran for two days on the news battle gets ugly this

is an opportunity now to initiate some policy changes that mandate community planning process i was unfortunate to be part of community with the citizens housing in 2002 and the mosaic project is the result what happens we undertook nonprofit sell space was an organization he was the founder a community partner and other nonprofits we made every effort to reach out to all the stakeholders as a result we met for months and months and hammered out the delays as a result when the project was feinstein sort of inenvisioned was approved if we don't do a

community planning process we had over 200 people confirmed to speak that is because they have not been heard the developer is not willing or interested in meeting with the community interested in satisfying the wall street real estate investors and not the community thank you. >> speaking of wall street the genisis part of j.p. morgan chase requiring 20 percent returns that's part of why o'dell is not having the money to do anything other than the absolute minimum this is the biggest project from the mission in a while and there hadn't b&b been any affordable builder now

the opportunity to work it we did a rough sketch which is here of what amount of profits we'll see by the minimums this is $18 million in profits i think there is wiggle room those are figures based on meetings with olsen and the community and builders association who calm came up with the idea of 6 hundred thousand to build a project we've not seen his book like across the street he will meet with some of our people that would then sign a confidentiality and agreement and go over the performa to see if there is any widen room it is k s we'll figure out the best deal more affordable housing

that will retain and protect the pdr lost this is the backbone of the mission with blue-collar jobs with spanish speaking without an education and earner for your family the propaganda from them pr if i remember, he will take a blighted block and build this was two years ago a 24r50i6r8 community two years ago union jobs doing work that is shipped out to canada works auto repair middle-income guys were raising a family and jonathan talked about this building has such a potential we have moderate plan that is

asking for 10 thousand more square feet that makes it a 50 percent affordability we're thankful the pressure of right thing to do didn't happen we'll sit with them and hopefully, will be able to do something i've raised on the phone a couple million dollars for people willing to put with local 261 come up with 500-0000 and money we don't require 20 percent we require - thank you. >> okay. any other general public comment. >> my name is a andy a paradox in the artistic community honorable this is the very first time i'm addressing government in a way no with a drama or a

raised fist i'll coming to speak to government and say i don't hold you in contempt for you actions this time we're in is one way the government is clearly seeing more the first time in a participatory way to be called to communicate with the people there is a democracy being born it is different than what has been before and in this time people will come and they will want to share and have strategies they will have ideas they will crowd fund they'll find ways to raise the money and find ways to communicate to their constituency and actually create something of value for them

skigz the communication that is vitally it is the communication that happens between us the people and you the representatives that speak to the greater representatives that sets the codes and laws there are manager i can't tell - people who have not the most money can afford to send their agents to be manipulated to do their bidding tailor wise people that live here willing to work with you, please please listen to us before it's down to torchs and pitch forecloses it's

changing we all know 24 so, please just consider what time we're in and there are very many people willing to work with you and the strategies that can afford an actual communication with the people not just the one percent thank you very much. >> (calling names) and good afternoon, commissioners i'm sorry eric i just want to talk about commemorative effects of the mission we are founder of the latino cultural we have 5 large developments that are coming in the latino cultural district within the next month or two and we're talking about 2 thousand

market-rate housing into the mission we really need to look at the bigger picture of what is happening i know we're not down or done with the map yet not in place we need to slow down and look at the projects how they can benefit the community right now what we're seeing with the developers they're creating a lot of smoke and mystery as well as the benefits to the community we have to look at those projects closely and looking at how they add up to what they're putting out to the media and community and the benefits to the community they're really not not - you know those numbers are coming out not accurate been i medium of the folks in the neighborhood i'm from the neighborhood we need to look at the numbers add them howe up how

they benefit the community we're also requesting in the district hopefully, a report for a social economic report for the eastern neighborhoods plan did an eir with the latino cultural district was not in place at that time, we need to look at things that didn't work yesterday so i'll ask you to look at things closely and making sure they truly benefit the community thank you. >> my name is kim i'm here to talk about 2000 bryant i live in the outer mission i'm butt in this is setting back the precedent in the mission what other projects will look like setting the precedent in excelsior or tenderloin with people where they live it is

good you delay and i'm hoping you'll keep the pressure on what is happening in the city we want to doing everything we can to fix it i'll conclude what someone said about manhattan you can say about a city of rich people and good things to say about a city of mostly rich people but not say is interesting. >> good afternoon. my name is rodney i'm here to talk about what i've been seeing i'm an artist an educator so iuoe i talk about what is happening in both of those areas my friends and coworkers are leaving they can't stay here when you put like the beast on

bryant and the other developments in the city and call them market-rate housing they can't stay here they're picking up their practices and not moving just away from san francisco to the eastbound or richmond that's getting tapped out not oakland or vallejo my friends were teacher where i work in san francisco at independence high school they can't afford to live here close to their work to the point where a friend of mine her sister sister-in-law and brother their choices are seattle and portland people have to pick up and leave people educated and professionals their department of human resources and nurses

their you are your accountant people that provide the mid-level services they can't stay here my friends artists most people think of artist they sort of live and work make sure we are flakey most of artists are 9 to 5 and 9 to 12 job they can't stay here because of the concerns of work and live and how they'll make money for them this is too much they much rather move to new york where their supported y where their supported in neither culture and value in what they do than stay in the bay area it is just makes you sad to that is my friends are to the that the it is just leaving so where does that leave you you

don't know you don't have people to teach our kids and things are the sample it is a drop in the acknowledging population here they've been leaving for years so with the beast on bryant we're asking as you people said earlier it is setting a precedent a bad precedent where a splap in the face for people po that love and bought into the is various cultures and can't stay here thank you very much. >> next speaker >> hello commissioners i'll be brief peter with the cultural action network and thank you for the continuance this is an important step to figure out something i want to talk about a couple of things in

a general way i think the breast on bryant is in a strong relationship to i'll ask you to think we add to the population about 200015 luxury units into the mission in the pipeline we don't think the mission is with stand that that doesn't destroy the economic fabric that's the way the commission community is viewing this we don't think that is necessary like collin shared numbers love to see the developers numbers from the mainline is this is legal i can't afford it anymore we would like to see the performas this is a minimum offer still you know my parents see us in the news on the east coast and my mother from graham called i'm

i going to get evicted we're on tv amend from guatemala we have developers with minimum offers this is what a the community is shocked by that a minimum offer will be pushed forward a 35 be offsite dedication which while the media is confused it is a 26 percent of footprint dedication; right? a minimum dedication they can do a lot more 26 percent of foot he paid $9 million that is where he is mathematically we would like to see the numbers on mission street he shared his numbers with the community as spike showed 100 percent union build and pdr retention 200 and 13 percent owe over our mission of pdr loss and a 50 percent land

dedication a significant profit at least on our back of napkin we only do the math the developers do we would like to see the real math and know that the developer can do more and people are working in this room working to find initiative solutions to finance this we appreciate the continuance and let's ask the developer to do a lot more thank you very much i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> hi commissioners rick haul i was here last week and spoke on the portland project at the at the time quotient repeat i was talking about the eastern neighborhoods plan and it's pace and the rezoning and a lot of

issues that are clearly problematic at this time but i stayed and listens to the q and a and he was somewhat concerned i'm glad for the beast now there say we have two weeks i think there is something you guys use that those weeks for in addition to the things such heard about when i watched planning answer mr. richard questions last week about where we stand in the plan and the numbers it was interesting but the day she didn't present and the questions she didn't answer or answered with a different question her numbers show the basis for

the eir that the q and a requires are are obsolete numbers with options abc that were studied without telling you the exact figures that were applicable to the plan between b and c i'm sure they know the numbers they've shared them in the pdrs she not limited to we're clog to being at a point they can't be approved and averted the conversation how thai keep up with the changes and the impacts and mitigations along the way to be sure what neither recommending a c pe they'll not recommend if they feel they shouldn't feel did that mean planning is

redefining the basis with now impacts and mitigations when they're considering how they feel about recommending a c p e is that possibly a legal measure i sincerely doubt the commission has a duty from accepting recommendations on this basis you know and until it is cleared up i'll be recommending you dr c p e for example, in the mission the projects that show net housing units completed or under environmental impact as of 2016 i'll leave it for you. >> any other general public comment this evening okay not seeing any, general public comment is closed.

and the the meeting is adjourned because we have a great waste water system here in san francisco, we do about 80 million gallons of waste water here in san francisco, which means we basically fill up 120 olympic sized swimming pools each and every day here in the city. we protect public health and safety and environment because we are discharging into the bay and into the ocean.

this is essentially the first treatment here at our waste water treatment facility. what we do is slow down the water so that things either settle to the bottom or float to the top. you see we have a nice selection of things floating around there, things from bubble gum wrappers, toilet paper, whatever you dump down the toilet, whatever gets into our storm drains, that's what gets into our waste water treatment and we have to clean. >> see these chains here, this keeps scum from building up. >> on this end in the liquid end basically we're just trying to produce a good water product that doesn't negatively impact the receiving water so that we have recreation and no bad impact on fish and aquatic life.

solids is what's happening. . >> by sludge, what exactly do you mean? is that the actual technical term? . >> it's a technical term and it's used in a lot of different ways, but this is organic sewage sludge. basically what it is is, oh, maybe things that come out of your garbage disposal, things that are fecal in nature. it's sludge left in the water after the primary treatment, then we blend those two over and send them over to digestion. this building is built to replace tanks here that were so odoriferous they would curl your hair. we built this as an interim process. >> is there a coagulant introduced somewhere in the middle of this?

. >> this coagulant brings solids together and lets the water run through. that gives us more time in the digestion process, more time to reduce the amount of solids. these are the biggest ones in the world, like we always like to do in san francisco. they are 4 meter, there's none like it in the world. >> really? wow. >> three meters, usually. we got the biggest, if not the best. so here we are. look at that baby hum. river of sludge. >> one of the things is we use bacteria that's common in our own guts to create this reduction. it's like an extra digestion. one of the things we have to do to facilitate that is heat that sludge up and keep it at the temperature our body likes, 98.6 degrees. >> so what we have here is the heat exchanger for digester no.

6. these clog up with debris and we're coming in to -- next wet weather season so we always come through here, clean them out, make sure that we get maximum heat exchange during the colder wet weather. sludge season. >> rubber glove. >> right here. >> rubber glove, excellent. all right, guys. >> thank you. >> good luck. >> this is the full on hazmat. . >> residual liquid. we're taking it time to let it drain. we don't want to get sludge on it necessarily. take your time. stand on the side of it. . >> should we let it release for a while?

. >> let it release. >> is that the technical term? . >> this is the most important bolt on the whole thing. this is the locking bolt. it locks this thing right in place. so now. >> take your hammer and what we want to do, we get rag build up right in here. the hot water recirculates right in here, the sludge recirculates in here. the sludge sometimes has rags in it. all we want to do is go around the clean the rags. let me show you how. take the slide hammer, go all the way through the back, go around. >> got you. >> during the real rainy season, how does that change the way dealing with this job? is it a lot more stuff in there? .

>> what we do, charles, we do this quarterly. every four months we go around and clean all the heat exchangers so we don't have a large build up. . >> go around? . >> yeah. (sound of hammering). >> what i'm trying to do, charles, is always pull it out on the low stroke. >> right. so you are not, like, flying out. now talk about clean up. .

>> then where does this stuff get deposited? . >> we're going to dump it in a debris box and it will go back to the plant. >> if you think back, the romans came up with a system of plumbing that allowed us it use water to transport waste away from the hub of civilization, which enabled cities to grow. . >> you have a large bowl, a drive motor and another motor with a planetary gearbox with differential pressure inside there. the large mass up there spinning separating the solids from the liquid. we have to prevent about once a month, we go in there grease those, change the oil, check the vibration levels. the operators can tell just by the hum of that machine that

it's a harmonic noise emitted that it's out of balance and the machine needs to be cleaned. it will start vibrating and we have vibration analysis machines that will come over here and check the levels. so it's kind of an on-going thing that you have to stay on top of on a daily basis. >> handled properly, you take organic residuals, as we call them, that are leftovers of our society and turn them back into some energy. and we have another ability to take that sludge and get a nutrient value for crops there. we actually are running a kind of composting energy recovery system. >> well, this is a dirty job. we try to do it safely and we try to do it without imposing too much on the public. people want to flush their toilets and have things go away

and not be bothersome again. we do a lot to try to accomplish that. i'd like to invite you to come back any time you want. once you got this in your blood, you are not going to be able to stay away. the raging waters are fun and when we do digester cleaning i really hope you can come back. that's quite a sight. >> yeah, that sounds interesting. >> i really appreciate you coming by and it was a >> good afternoon and welcome to the local agency formation commission of san francisco board of supervisors. today is may 20, 2016. this is john avalos, joined by cynthia crews and david campos. todays clerk is alis
