the agenda under the regular calendar excuse me - under the discretionary review item 1860 russel street we received plans latest initially staff thought we'll continue this to october 15th maybe to july 21st and take that up at this time i have several speaker cards and no other items proposed for continuance. >> commissioner antonini. >> oh, yeah. i thought there was public comment any public comment on the items proposed for continuance phil

(calling names). >> commissioner president fong and members allison park phil the owner with my wife of rufls street the project scheduled for discretionary review here today ask you not continue our project and hold the meeting as planned we know why the match is requesting the tubs to study things thoroughly and deliver the best san francisco police commission to you, we feel in this case a continuance is spot warranted this was a discussions 3 weeks ago and the commission considered not to accept suggestion to october this date is set for today although we submitted revised plans to the planning department none of them are new plans in response to the dr requesters or suggestions by the commission we feel it is best for review today

the planning department staff extensively reviewed this in this a process and decided the process was good and acceptable they had accurate time to review it and additionally the changes we made although they meet a grateful of the concerns are not substantive under the planning code and don't involve the envelope for additions on the prouksz productions we think in the design by the rtd and staff is sufficient other than the height reduction in changes to the facade not visual it the public therefore the review is not required this practices us in a catch-22 to submit now for - this didn't give us sufficient time to talk with the neighbors and hope that the

commission considers and recognitions recognizes we took as along as potential before submitting our restrictions and this item was continued once and all dr requesters are here we will not take up valuable time it is best to continue the hearing as are overflow room scheduled in the afternoon and noted three weeks a further continuance is an undue hardship we're in in a difficult position to have a big enough house with our twins to push through this home and hope you take into consideration the impact of the long continuance it has on us thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon commissioner president fong and members of the commission for those of i've

not met allison park christine and on behalf of my twins patrick and katherine hear and make a decision on the discretionary review today latter in the planning commission we met with you on russel street you asked us to speak with the neighbors we spent hours e-mail and working with the council to have feedback into the design working through special moments we could have been enjoying with our new born we presented the changes to the neighbors and asked for further changes yesterday we find out - excuse me - the planning department wants to wait until october for the few design with i the commission have yet to see we understand

your intiefrz but told to modify the design and you'll have our input given the late hour we hoped to review the design later on today we feel the delay for many months is quite unfair and a delay a hardship emotionally and financially we want to remain residents of russian hill and moving this to october greatly described this, please hear us today and decide on our discretionary review thank you very much in consideration. >> my name is hagen i practice in federal court and the united

states supreme court to the members of the commission it is an act of sustainable fairness to hear this today phil served your country for 11 and a half years and christen a resident since out of college and been a resident of san francisco since he left the service they were murdered in the city and bought a home in russian hill in 2012 and worked diligently to plan the house and with planning department to get it done they got the plans approved they ran past all the neighbors and the neighbors responded and not here to talk about that we've had that meeting it was 3 weeks ago he requested certain things done they were done and everything

within the planning guidelines now understand that i think as you may know of the housing problems in san francisco and renting the costs and this couple had to rent for that the last 5 months in order to have their children because of the planning process has taken a long time this is eroding the ability to do their house time is literally money those are not people that have unlimited wealth to get this done not people that cashed in on any.org boom their hard working young people and in the middle of their prime with children and time to bring the children home if you approve that later today there is time to get the work done and at the

does not want to offend their neighbors they've worked with their neighbors one of the things we building the tenant of your society is substantial fairness looking at something is this the right thing to do our legal is depend on we hope you'll give them a hearing they need this afternoon to render them a decision thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is sabrina resident of larkin a block from the proposed be project i park my car on the corner of hyde and russel i literally walk down the street every day this project is appropriate for the neighborhood

and in terms of the height and the magnitude of how it will effect the neighborhood i believe that a lot of the voices heard as neighbors are acrimonious because people are not interested in having other people achieve their development goals in san francisco the reason i'm speaking i believe this this plays into a larger question of who do we want to live here in san francisco as the previous speakers noted phil and chris tin live and work in san francisco and pay property tax this property is not beyond the scope that is what is appropriate. >> excuse me - ma'am, sorry about the interruption i want to clarify this opportunity is really speak in support or continuance and not the merits if we end up hearing it today,

we'll hear those points in support of continuance. >> i support the continuance sorry i think this should be brought open today and it should be codified so we can move forward with their project immediately. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> members of the commission my name is mat on russel street the project team here in support of planning department to continue this until october 13th we got the e-mail at the 3:45 p.m. and at 517 under foster sent updated plans and no new building plans were filed we've not had to look at this in

a short period of time at the june meeting you instructed the planning department staff to verify the site conditions we looked at this and noted the changes and communicated to the property owner on june 26th the sponsors were traveling and unavailable to meet face to face by e-mail they returned on july 8th and then the agenda was posted for today's hearing we noticed the changes were not different from last hearing we asked why on july willfully we learned the property owners were not updating the plans we didn't know how the commission will prepare for that today's hearing without the materials we are afraid the plans will be

submitted without the public and others to review them as you recall on june 23rd we were provided with dimension calculations no time to review the accuracy on that date the commission ordered the site visit for the existing conditions and on that the june 23rd calculations was shown to be wrong again, the site visit confirmed the seven hundred and 90 feet basement and buy out rooms not on the 311 plans we should through this in a timing manner and not reciprocated their inadequate and not present in time for review we've can't give that matters the right time when time it follows those are not afforded to us or the commission

itself for those reasons we support october 13th recommended by staff this is a major project with serious ramifications with sponsors and community we should have an outcome that is respectful of the existing needs of community thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners i have a copy of the letter that i will read for you guys my name is trashing the other dr requester i'm writing in response to the proposed continuance for communication from nick foster where we wanted to have the 13 this morning and fostered the july earlier date for the continuance hearing from a

problematic we're not - i can do in my letter i've listed the thursdays i'm out of town they've not described to work within the deadline for the submission of the original hearing date and the continuance for july 14th and the planning department is late on the october past of the deadline i presuming and the other neighbors need an appropriate amount of time i hope we have that time and time to determine where we can compromise between the parties given the challenges with the original plans grossly inadequate for the project including no actual demo and the lateral plan the continuing late submissions is to a layperson like myself a

disregard for the process i kindly ask the commissioners to encourage the dialogue between the sponsors and the neighbors to try to reach a compromise and require that the compromises not be balanced and submitted no matter october 1st to have adequate time for the october date thank you thank you for your time. >> next speaker, please. >> reminding folks to speak to the continuance. >> how you guys doing i'm george i live between green and union i am up here to ask you not grant the continuance on a couple of facts of what i know july 1st, they had since the proposed plans to the neighbors so i'm not sure i think there is a miscommunication about the

actual facts that is what i know july 1st and also several e-mails sent to the neighbors about you know what is going to happen and the dialogue is open i want to echo what pat said those are good people two kids i don't know if you guys have kids living in san francisco is not easy and as a good person try to help the local san franciscan and as with christen and we're here to help your constituents and help people of san francisco you'll go a great job and not grant the continuance thank you. >> i'm andrea cohen urging you

to hear the case today as planned an extreme hardship the family has had setbacks to meet with the community and talk with their neighbors i'll be short and sweet thank you very much. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> commissioners kathleen russian hill community association there's been a consistent failure to provide information in this case. >> there's been a consistent failure to follow the planning department procedures that are old in premeditate and on the planning department website given everything that has happened over the last several

months and in fact, since this project began the neighbors require additional time to make sure that they're able to review the information that is submitted and be sure it is complete and accurate therefore like my colleagues i am requesting that you follow the planning department recommendation and set this hearing for october 13th so we all have adequate time to look at the plans and insure they're correct and the context to the comments that made about hearing this today please know that has of yesterday with nick fosters note that there was no hearing today the whole project team has taken off so there are i think you've heard 8 to 10 people last time they're not available three or

four the dr requesters and myself we're not here for the hearing we were told no hearing one we're asking it be continued the planning department recommendation it be continued to october 13th is realistic and so you know over 50 percent of our project team a out of the state and country during the month of august i leave tomorrow for greece we have made accommodations no one is available look at traceys schedule. >> thank you for having us. i oppose the continuance i'm adam a friend you've heard those things my understanding that they made those friends in 2014 i believe it is 2016 a lot of time has passed a hardship i

don't know the way those things work i've 0 not been blessed probation officer build a house here but like how thanks are detailed obviously those people were to be scheduled here today and can't be none has a thursday for months and months i feel bad and you guys have to deal with this is become a hardship for them i know that they really, really want to get moving and live with their children and really, really hope you see that the folks were able to see are available and may not be available going to freezing and they're here and able to do what is fair and equitable and get these people into their new homes attorney-client. >> next speaker, please. >> and a few more speaker

cards. >> hi, i'm clara neighbor owner of russel and my husband and i know them well, they're no compliance request the plans they've submitted for the commission we have worked with them from the beginning and included us in all stages of they're planning process and actually even invited us to their house to look at the plans i oppose the continuance and ask you strongly i strongly urge you to allow them to have the hearing that was scheduled for this evening thank you. >> good afternoon my name is lindsey a be long time friend and they're within the planning guidelines any further continuation will cause harm i'm opposed to any further

continuance thank you. >> again day aim amanda davidson a friend of the folks i am in opposition of the continuance today i'm a mother of a 14 mellowed and have been a resident of san francisco for 13 years living in the marina and i rented and hope that someday to have to be blessed with a home of my own in the city and i just would like to speak to the major hardship that it will cause the family with they're two beautiful twins so have another 3 months of waiting when they're trying to you know spent twenty-four hours a day raising their few-month-old i

ask you review what was presented this afternoon thank you very much. >> okay is there any additional public comment? >> okay not seeing any, public comment is closed. and commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i've been familiar with this project for that a a long time it's been in process since 2014 so i can speak, to the accuracy of that and don't feel it is a major project a project that is adding to a home to make it accommodate a family needs in regards to the plans coming late they came a little bit on the late see i'm not sure this is with property owners or property owners waiting for responses from dr requesters for

whatever reason they're not available until 48 hours ago and had to go through staff and staff didn't feel they can evaluate them this is in response to what the dr requesters asked may not be enough to satisfy the droerz so i feel it civil grand jury could be heard but if staff feels more comfortable i feel a one week continuance will be the most that should be the plans are available and simple changes that are accommodating what dr requester wanted and the project was not only code compliant but there was nothing exceptional or extraordinary those are i'm going to be in charge of a continuance four one week. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> i guess mr. foster a question i have if october 13th was not on artificial dates how long would it take for you to

review and come up with a case report. >> sure fosters department staff in kruger with the departments review a week b will work for the record the publication deadline for next thursday is passed this past monday so if the commission is available to receive the updated materials we've get those to you and the dr requester but the big things to make sure the ceqa determination is upheld and the calculations are true. >> i mean commissioner hagen's resonates with all of us nobody wants to go arbitrary and have a week and deadlines if we didn't push that a week i honestly have a question to the fairness we have people that will be out and takes 4 votes to support a dr so

that is unfair to the odds we have july 28th we could put this two weeks, however, one dr requester is not here whatever we decide not fair to somebody i think we need to weigh all the c's. >> commissioner vice president richards there's been a change i will be here next week. >> okay. then i support a week. >> let me check jonas counting the calendar for next week it is obviously full but seems plausible. >> several things fell off of the 21st a joint hearing with the sfmta that will start and 10:00 a.m. >> commissioner vice president richards i'm sorry commissioner hillis. >> i'm sympathetic how long things take in the city but we also need i don't think that is fair for the commission in question get the plans last night for a hearing today we

wanted to review them not fair to the neighbors either so i'm supportive of a continuance it i'll note i'm out next week and the following week not on the calendar but i don't you know business can happen without me here yeah, i'll encourage the property owner to meet with the neighbors and the plan and this is not a complicated project we've spent a lot of time than we do on more significant projects i don't know what is going on with the property owner and neighbors but you know seems likely sit down and glow them i'll encourage that and certainly support a continuance for whatever folks think that is appropriate. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i'll move to continue to the 21st of july the plans contain nothing more than on the

spot to a hearing but in difference to allowing the staff and the dr requesters to look at them it go took me 15 minutes it can be done quickly by both parties and a hearing to move to continue to number 18 to july 21st, and also i'm continuing items 1 ab to august 4, 2 ab to august 4th, and 3 to september 15, 4 ab to october 6th. >> second. >> commissioner moore. >> i like to see the discussion on item 18 to be voted on separately there's difference of opinions the dates for continuing on russel street is different from what is

suggested by the rest of the continuances so i'll ask the motion be modified to have the item 18 considered separately i'll not support june 21st and will make my statement on the first motion as modified. >> yeah. i'm fine with separating that my motion only for item number 18 and for july 21st and i'll make the motion for and something else will have to consider this. >> huh? >> you want to do the other okay. i'll change my motion to support continuance of one ab to august 4, 2 ab to august 4, 3 to september 15, 4 ab to october 6th. >> second. >> very good commission on that to continue. >> commissioner antonini commissioner hillis

are we are doing item 18. >> yes. >> 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 . >> just noting items 1-b and 4b are variance. >> thank you commissioner moore continue on item 18. >> yeah. >> couple of comments on item 18 what is of concern that the existing documentation on russel strait is a was inadequate that requires the department jointly to review the new sxhigsz of what the corrected together with the plan that is bans that and that particular type of judgment requires time before those particular drawings residential design being submitted to us with the advance and knowledge

by every applicant the terrible that comes to the commission has to be in the hands of the department for proper review and vaugs evaluation a week or 10 days ahead of time next week is not appropriate even for the applicant he'll urban design asking questions the applicant might not expect we don't have the proper time to have the staff evaluate and so far as i know the drawings i received last night didn't copy the departments or anyone on that matter so what the department has or didn't have we as commissioners unbundle to the secretary was copied on that page only addressed to commissioners that came in at

around 6 o'clock or there about's having said that, i believe that it is in the interest of the project and it's proper processing by us that it be postponed for three weeks i can't personally make expectations for all people this is a dr and like many department of human resources it is given and handed to us with the proper overview that is ultimately in the responsibility of the department as to fairness we're in the the deferring amenity but when it is solely the departments professional responsibility to move forward when they're in process so i can't do use fairness

outside of what really is substantial process of doing the work with with the proper detail and the care this project like any other projectile requires i will leave it on for the secretary owen to suggest another date within the next few weeks and prior to the commission be taking a summer recess or the date that indeed the department has recommended to us and again, the department has a chance for as many other projects to the department not making an arbitrary decision at this moment only giving us to consider october as an opportunity. >> commissioner antonini. >> well once again this is a simple project the project could you have been - i voted against

a continuance i've seen projects we've modest and making the change for more acceptable to dr requesters and that having said that, those changes are in the plans there are things to be looked at and knowingable of what those changes can be but understand hearing from staff even verbally what those are and make the decisions and the next thing about the continuance you have an opportunity to continue it further if we're not happy where we are at that point not a scomplakts plan that involves a lot of attention a simple house they're trying to make it large enough inform accommodate the family if so a dr and i think i'll move to continue it to the 21st of july. >> commissioner hillis. >> again, i'm not going to be

here either of those days we are doing a little bit of disservice to you as the project manager and going one week it is good for you, you and the neighbors to sit down and try tatoui resolve this is in the the end of the road people are still unhappy what is happening and a board of appeals your coming up with what you agree and disagree and presenting them a week is no the time to do that in i'm in the shoes of the neighbors i would want more time to figure that out we had that time browns but unfortunately, we got the plans last night and talked with our representative that asked for continuance i'm surprised you're asking to hear it today, i think that is a disservice to the project it will be here for one hundred years and not continue

it for more than a week and not to october but your best talking about the issues and cob what you, you agree and disagree with with your neighbors. >> commissioner vice president richards ii agree with commissioner hillis it is this is not the end of the road it could be detailed for significantly i don't support october 13th given the fact it takes a week i move to continue this to july 28th. >> second. >> commissioner antonini. >> just seconding i understand it is manageable and gives plenty of time for everyone to talk in the plans are done and staff reviewed them that's fine. >> commissioner moore. >> secretary owen will you comment on the 28.

>> only the same comment the previous several hearings it is all of the calendars are full. >> which means as it could be a late hearing. >> before the break it will be late hearings except for today. >> commissioner antonini. >> as today and next this week and last week things drop off and it is really irritating this happens sometimes noticing problems or other things that cause large prongs to drop off so the i'm fine with the continuance for two weeks is it so reasonable for the project sponsor. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> just so we're not in a situation we're up against a 12-hour hearing if we votes for the 28 i'll ask the president and others secretary to schedule

is earlier first or second or third we'll hear it and chances it will not fall off gay. >> commissioner moore. >> i'd like to get the thought of mr. jocelyn you know that the staff load you know the issues i think surrounding this project do you believe this project can be properly and thoroughly reviewed and brought back to the commission in time in a package we all after you have evaluated is give it a fair shot. >> i was not at the hearing but i watched the hearing i think there were some suggestions or even possibly arguably the will of the commissions to explore the things not at that time those are worthy /* worth exploring.

>> we're ready to workout those if the sponsors are ready. >> you have something please speak into the microphone. >> if we want to insure that someone will appeal this i'll be in london this is schedule he put that on the letter the october 4th works the next thursday i can try to be flexible but can't change that europe trip for work i'm sorry. >> commissioner moore. >> it is in the interest of the project and what i think director citywide planning to summarize the work is done and the department indeed looked at the so when the project comes

back to use it is indeed supported by the department that is the end of july rather than next week. >> commissioner antonini. >> i support the motion for the 28 i suggested this the dr requester who won't be present please make her feelings known to the commissioners weigh take into consideration and hopefully be worked out with the pardon within the next couple of days and the plans will reflect or whatever it is right will reflect her wishes we are amenable to that note as we don't note smolg someone is not testifying we need a list of things and take into consideration. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> i guess i am ready to face the music if she not on the 28 i

think we should accommodate her and make it the fourth i change my vote to the fourth of august. >> second. >> okay. >> what. >> i changed my motion. >> i seconded that motion. >> can i ask commissioners i'll only is that july 21st and 28 are better ongsz for your calendar than august 4th you have an extremely fill calendar with medical cannabis dispensary that will cap your evening august 11th is equally full with promotions that are opposed in the mission district if you choose to continue to august 4th i'm letting you you know that you're just like options are better. >> we have been asked multiple

times to only speak with her representatives it seems like it make sense to continue to the 28 because she's not wanted 80 us to have contact as opposed to using the representatives from the russian hill representative committee. >> we're not opening up to dialogue commissioner moore. >> i continue to support for august 4th this commission wants to give both parties basically the shot with the department to work on it properly august 4th is a better date and take the blunt brunt written record, and please deliver it to the secretary prior to. >> very good a there is a motion that has been seconded to continue this matter until august 4th shall i call the question? >> on that motion commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore.

>> commissioner wu commissioner vice president richards and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes 6 to one with commissioner johnson voting against commissioners that places us under our consent calendar are considered to be routine may be acted upon by a single roll call vote of the commission. there will be no separate discussion of these items a member of the commission, the public, or staff so requests removed from the consent calendar and considered as a separate item at this or a future hearing. item 6 case 23rd condominium conversion and staff has requested to pull this off the content and shall we place that at the beginning. >> very good. >> commissioners item 8 ab at

the church street conditional use authorization and 2016 va r on church street the zoning administrator will consider a request for variance i have no speaker cards. >> >> any public comment on item the items on the consent calendar. >> not seeing any, public comment is closed. commissioner vice president richards and i'd like to take item 8 off content. >> very good commissioner. >> so we're left with item 6. >> move to approve item 6. >> second. >> second. >> thank you, commissioners under the consent calendar. >> 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 both items 7, 8 ab will

be considered at the beginning of the regular calendar commissioners commission matters consideration of draft minutes for june 30th that will make one note it it there as correction to reflecting reflect that commissioner vice president richards opened the meeting. >> public health on the draft minut minutes. >> good afternoon georgia swedish this is a synergy he spent 40 minutes talking about on russel street on june 30th the motion was made by commissioner moore and she said so i move that we continue the project and look for the architect to work with the planning department and with the adjoining neighbors and seconded by commissioner vice president

richards and a 5 to zero vote we have a question i was talking to the lady an immediate neighbor on that matter we were very concerned that the minutes just say continued until october 30th without any information about what is supposed to happen and given what happened now you have at the last minute the plans never are not to the building department and go back to the staff she and here neighbors do not want to be in a similar situations it is at the last minute ready to work now and her neighbors with the staff and with the project sponsor on 437 hoffman avenue i don't know maybe we're wrong we're raising this question we want to be sure it is clear that that was your order your vote not just solely continue to october 30th here's

for the minutes or whatever this is for the submissions from the neighbors about what was said they commission at that time, and just a question we have she really is ready to work now and it's been two weeks and not heard from anyone so thank you very much. >> is there any additional public comment on draft minutes. >> not seeing any, public comment is closed. commissioner wu. >> secretary so we're looking at the minutes for june 30th and which item is the one that was continued until october 30th. >> 60 russel. >> i don't know about the 30th. >> she's talking about hoffman. >> hoffman. >> okay a cu. >> my apologies she was puc to

437 hoffman. >> it is standard to have a standard what we should; right? to move to continue. >> that's correct. >> the commission gives instruction for all dr cases to work together this is not a cu this should be the baseline everyone should be working together i'm not sure we've done it before. >> at becomes there are 7 individual members in this case 6 of you were present giving our comments and directions to a particular item as to how to modify it i don't recall the specification an hoffman but i agree commissioner wu is that the general direction to go back and work with the neighbors on this project so if it can come back in a form that is approvable and supported by the staff and commission but if

you'd like we can craft motioned and record them with specific directions from the commission but then that had been formulated at the time. >> commissioner johnson. >> i appreciate that we're voicing this to insure the will of the commission that will be challenging we don't do that in many other motion we often make sure that staff and/or a project sponsor have taken our views take into consideration and ask them to repeat what they understand that system works if we move to something that that is more formalized to find a way to encap slut in addition to an official vote i. >> not all commissioners will

agree. >> essentially taking a vote on a project. >> right. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further, we'll move on to we have a motion. >> need a motion to approve. >> commissioner wu. >> i'll move to approve the minutes with the change on the person that called the meeting to order. >> on that motion commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner wu and commissioner vice president richards and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero and expirations that places us on item 10 commissioners questions or comments. >> commissioner moore i want to acknowledge the update of the institutional master plan for the academy for the san francisco arts institute answering the questions to

record a more complete description of the institution what the facilities and how their housing supports their operation i appreciate the update when was added to our last week's commission package. >> do we have to take it. >> okay. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. bring up some of the pictures i'll speak about the err y alley the broken windows had criminal activities are not he taken care of early and morphing into bad things started with graffiti on the alley off of south van ness and near 14th street and originally i was called by larry matthew on the

property on south van ness interestingly enough most of his implies are pdrs a manufacturer and ceramic tiles and art gallery and suing institutions the things we're trying to protect anyway, the graffiti problem and one of the people involved this was eir i can't think that has offices off the alley and attacked by graffiti vandals and instead of doing anything those people are arrested and not getting any significant sentences so what happened the property owner is charged so many money they left the graffiti lesson it is moderator into a by a do situation a lot of homeless or at least people we know they're involved in drug dealing and a

chop shop and prostitution all those things and visible vicious attacks on small children thousands of dollars of damage to their place and their garage was blocked one day they tried to get the people out of there their car was broken into and the christmas presents were stolen and baby stockholders and spent 5 thousand dollars on a broken windows and the electricals service was cut off to their apartments those are the kinds of things that happened if we been firmer on the graffiti problem that might have ended the problem the word is this is an alley to hang out and live illegally and driving

potentially away pdr firms and young families trying to make a living in that area i would urge the city to look at this particular issue although not only the place it is a problem but in the heart of areas we hear cries to stay pdrs and families with children and we're not doing much in that instance i hope someone can look at the problem on gere alley. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you so i will change the subject and make come up on the upcoming calendar the castro and the hope sf agreement and one of the things about those projects many they're part of a rental assistance demolition cluster that also did a big role are supportive

services and childcare one of the questions i have since started ac when i - is about how do our building code and rezoning reminders supports or not support the ability to build childcare facilities in san francisco i reiterate my call particularly in light of looking at sun value and plans in place to provide childcare as part of the supportive services for the public housing and future residents there it is important i think that we should definitely be addressing that a is a commission make ourselves knowledgeable how our planning code and building code are supporting those types of

facilities. >> just one comment to campaign i'll refer to the mission plan and the fact that some of the bigger issues that are pretty unretrackable not solutions a whole host of the approaches to trying to solve some of the problems i completely agree with they need to be solved and not just something for us our role would be make sure we can put navigation centers and things like that were able for people to get liveable plays and doing everything we can your thoughts on top of but about the city on the issue. >> that's it. >> i already went. >> you did. >> i'm done our very good under department matters director's announcements.

the supervisors were incite tentative supervisor cowen stopped the presentation to ask questions about our existing controls and was concerned of the concentration of mcds and about the state law encompasses more than culture vacation and on cannabis products and thank you for the staff how other uses in the cannabis industry will be related a good stournt of public comment on this item so speakers were concerned about the new state law it was filed and no action was taken i sent you the information in an amending next on the land use committee agenda an ordinance by supervisor peskin to allow adu's

and it was considered by this commission in june 2016 and the commission voted to recommend approval supervisor peskin took the commissions recommends to rove the cap on a number of adu's with 5 or more units and cap of one adu and supervisor recommended that a unit sized minimum of three hundred and 50 square feet studios and 5 hundred plus for one bedroom adu's supervisor wiener raised concerns that the minimum size could prevent an adu with less than three hundred and 50 square feet available within a building and supervisor peskin expressed interests and the zoning administrator other planning code to further study the individual sales of adu's and supervisor peskin made amendments that allow the adu's

to be subdivide and sold spiritual in building with condominium and those adu's will be sold to households with incomes up to 100 percent ami and for the project programming for adu's to remain intact and supervisor peskin was open to that and lastly the recommendation that adu's be allowed to expand under the rooms and supervisor peskin norntd that amendment, however, those in fills will be subject to neighborhood notification and current expansion is not no idea this was forwarded to the full board with no unanimous votes for the potrero on connecticut street passed it's second reading and supervisors heard

the mayor and the density bonus and considered the program as an alternative program by supervisor peskin and mar on june 30th at the hearing you found that both versions with consistent with the general plan many week at the full board collaborated supervisor peskin thanked supervisor tang that the proposal is better together and supervisor avalos spoke of the importance and hell to revitalize the stalled commercial district and mentioned in his district he knew of who promotions that will benefit notely supervisor avalos supported the mixed program and want to develop that more madam chair rosales made a position for two amendments one allows but not requires the commission to scope the projects under the standards of planning code 261. one when recommend by

the planning director protects the narrow east west streets and the amendment could be used for setbacks along the sergeants doughnut reduce the setbacks use and a relocation plan both of those amendments passed and supervisor yee requested an amendment for clarity the program is not available in the rh1 or rh2 but asked the ordinance specify this ordinance does not include the rhd-1 district that amendment passed with that the board unanimously adopted the ordinance on fvrd this is a huge accomplishment for i'd like to acknowledge the hard work by monique and others for doing outreach to the public and supervisors next on the agendas there were

two resolutions urging the san francisco legislative delegation to amend or approve that buy right by the tailor bill the first was sponsored by supervisor cowen and supervisor mar and supervisor campos and this passed on the 6 to 5 with 4 voting against the second resolution was supported by supervisor wiener and it failed on a first vote no introductions this week and i gave a presentation to the cannabis on the upcoming voted that legalize the default cannabis and making recommendations to the board of supervisors how the city should respond should this pass land use is one and i included a plan

of the process in my e-mail that concludes my presentation. >> commissioner moore. >> mr. starr this commission has a few mcd applicants in the interim will there be anything to prepare or consider state legislation how in a time of transition. >> at this point no real estate effect for over a year so and they'll need to be some changes to our definition of an mcd they'll no longer have to be nonprofit and dispensaries but retail and for profit and the changes that are coming through an november will take effect probably two years from the times the ballot is cast we have sometime. >> thank you that's good to know. >> commissioner johnson. >> real quick good news on the

affordable housing bonus plan i actually saw kirston and heard there was parties happening we were not invited to quick question for you on the adu legislation that went to the board on the ability to subdivide and sell adu's was in building with no eviction history was there any detail on the type of history we've heard a lot about the types of eviction. >> there was a lot of information underlying through if but the community meeting i'll look at the give you more suggestions on the timeline or what eviction. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> two questions on the san francisco delegation on the project trailing bill that passed was it opposed or what was it. >> in general it wanted to be amended so that we could still

do discretionary review of permits which is basically making that bill pointless the idea that projects that comply that the planning code had been approved and no discretionary review and. >> and second question on the adu it was forwarded to the board with no recommendation was the envelope defined on existing structure. >> it is allowed to expand on the areas i forgot what the zoning administrator will do but in fills under popups or bay windows. >> thank you commissioner johnson. >> i'm sorry and commissioner vice president richards go reminded me of my third question on the san francisco delegation i understand we're doing work at the state level but the local level looking at planning code and saying we need to create

more obviously standards as of right we started looking at changes we might need to make. >> we started some initial conversations and looking at what the code has to be for strengthened our finding need townhouse more obviously in order to comply with state law. >> okay. thank you. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> riding on her question this is been put down on the obviously standards for the historic preservation commission. >> i believe that supervisor peskin resolution did talk about historic preservation as well. >> i'll be surprised in the bill passed for that some kind of historic preservation.

>> and the non-restricted landmarking of category a that's a different standard if not made and yeah. i mean, you would if you're allowed to demolish it i'm sure you not subject so ceqa review and providing affordable housing so single-family homes will not be impacted from that. >> thanks i want to voice my concern that we have obviously standards for historic preservation especially in the category of this type of. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further, we'll move on to move on to general public comment not to exceed oh, excuse me - >> the board of appeals met but nothing to report. >> thank you. i apologize general public comment commissioners not to exceed

commissioners not to exceed at this time, members of the public may address the commission matter jurisdiction of the commission except agenda items. with respect to agenda items, your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting. each member of the public may address the commission up to three minutes. i do have one speaker card. >> georgia swedish. >> good afternoon. i want to talk about what seems to be a loophole in section 317 that allows for the loss of housing i think i mentioned that before i brought it up in regards to oak wood street a bunch of streets i think you know how it work not morning 25 units loss you can reduce the units i think you have the ability to only make that 20 percent this change

within the existing or expanded footprint i think the loophole please should be closed when you do our section 317 form often those are turned into single-family homes and utilities u units not quite as good what was there before i want to give you an example this is one near me that is this building here see the two doors and under gone renovation within the footprint they did major evacuation it is the same building here's the front door this nice big double door but here's the second unit and there's it below the particular property that is on the alley so that has a garage in the back but i think that is my point this unit will not most

likely be as desirable perhaps or maybe ab soshtsdz into the building there is a whole bunch jerseys and 25th street and delores and sanchez this is duncan and 19th street you had that one pending and 26 street so that's why i wanted to raise it again, it is worth a look to see if you can get through the loophole or at least be a variance maybe money are a reason to do that note as of right this loophole and i don't think that should happen certainly when that makes a nice big fancy home on oak wood street like a single-family 5

bedrooms. >> happy - this is for the minutes thank you, again. >> is there any additional public comment? >> general public comment seeing any, public comment is closed. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> i wanted to let mr. swishing and the public we met and laid out three or four issues we see over and over we want to understand what the an impact was and whether or not policy change for some other former change will be appropriate this is one of them you mentioned. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further, we'll move on to we can move on to the regular calendar item 7 was pulled off the content and considered now for the case polk street conditional use authorization. >> good afternoon,

information presentation item we're here to talk about the state of mta for your information we had a staff level information item on july 19th and advance of a joint hearing an july go 21st to give you an overview of the muni system an opportunity to ask questions i'd like to introduce tom maguire with sfmta as well as victor chief of staff from the sfmta streets division to give an overview presentation one be final note we'll be giving you an presentation jointly on july 21st this is a long-range transportation environment commission process and acknowledge the agency including sfmta the mayor's office and the

transbay joint powers authority and, of course, san francisco planning i'm going to turn it over to tom and victor. >> thank you and thank you, commissioners for temperatures to talk about the state of transportation in san francisco as was said i'm tom maguire the director the sustainable streets division of sfmta. >> i'll start by talking about the state how we get around in san francisco do we have - thank you. >> so as as you may know singles 1973 the san francisco charter was a transit first city i'm happy to state on the survey data more than half the trips are made by s transit and walking bicycle or taxi tmc fortune half the trips are made by private all these over the longer we all the city

transportation all the agencies that marissa mentioned working to make that a place to have great ways to get around and managing the congestion on the streets sfmta was formed by the voters in 199 combining several individual mobile agencies the voters in 1999 challenged us to create a single mode of transportation agency for the city sfmta manages the new seven hundred thousand customers the eight a largest in the united states and manage on-street parking and off-street parking and operating the transit transportation. >> our mission to work in purpose with other agencies including yourselves and the mta

and other partners to build up and maintain the transportation system and to provide to support the development the civic life of san francisco by giving san franciscans great transportation choices the first to guarantee the safety of all users the transportation system that means where our driving a car or cyclists or muni passenger our goal to keep everyone safe and provide great transportation choices with mass transit and walking, cycling and ridership for ways to get around especially, as the city grows and to chances the environmental liveability and quality of life and to provide great customers service how they choose to get around. >> i want to talk about some

of the highest profile initiatives you've heard about us moving forward over the last few years you see the streets we're transforming see new services we're offering to san franciscans and see our board and other boards debate in public the first is the enhancement so again, we over 40 years a transit first vision one of the key goals, of course, to give san franciscans great choices and made nor improvements in muni than any time since world war ii over 200 thousand hours of bus services on the streets in into the weeds and so forth three hundred thousand customers are benefiting from frequent buses and more frequent rail services and extended hours we watched the muni rapid are

like the 7 and brunn and the first mission rapid routes where high frequency and in the country actually and we're launching those services not in a matter of decades but breaking and entering those online for customers in a matter of months in conjunction with our partners in the communities we're also making one generation investments in the transit system were we looking forward to a joint hearing where the planning and joint will be talking about the kinds of decisions to make to figure out how to expand the transit in the future and accommodate the kind of growth that all our agencies wrestle with we have the central subway a 1.7 mile t line project that is over one billion dollars

and it will bring the t line into chinatown we are on time and budget and scheduled to open in019 of course not just big projects like the subway i won't go through outline u you'll see details but running the c bus go roots and running weekend services on weekend and extending did bus lines to put our customers first and again, this is great. >> of course our goal is safety the principle that encaps is vision zero the mta board and yourselves and many other agencies want to end death by 2024 we lose people on the streets to vehicular crashes

vision zero said that number is no longer acceptable any death in traffic is not acceptable it involves a culture change and the police department it is every collision and fatality is preventable we're talking about crashes and driven by the value no accidents and all lives could be saved and good for data this is what we learned we begin to look at the patterns of crashes over the last years in san francisco over three quarters of the serious injuries and fatalities in traffic happy heap on 12 percent of our streets you see our paint cruise trying to make the streets safer we're focused no longer making the

citywide improvement but the major regional streets like geary and in the tenderloin south of market where the injuries are taken care of the action for vision zero is multi agencies and meddled disciplinary we talk about the engineering and enforcement and education mta made a commitment to improve the pass and touching all the streets in blue and those improvements from crosswalks to transform of the streets to concrete as well as smaller things signal changes and bike lanes but had a terrible speeding problem over

2/3rd's of the fatality accidents the cause is driver error and the overwhelmingly driver error is speeding we challenged the police department to issue at least 50 percent of their certification to the kinds of bailiffs that kill and injury people stop signs and running red lights and finally education educating not only pedestrians but educating drivers and other users like cyclists about the roll they play in keeping the streets safe by sloan or in the case of large vehicle feed operators and special training to make sure they understand how to operate safely so they meet the unique environment we have in san francisco. >> and would not be a discretion if we didn't talk about parking a huge issue that comes before us and i know an issue the

planning commission is often asked to weigh in on so again, we're aiming through our parking management with mta to provide alternatives to driving that provides great customer service to customers that choose to drive and park first, the way we manage our on-street parking meters includes 28 parking meters and port property over the last 5 years upgraded those to credit cards and pay by phone and operate by solar and continuing to introduce new rate structures and flexibility for parkers ta to stay longer and more convenient ways to pay most parking spaces are by residential parking permit requirements for area c and a those are the permit

sold to residents enabling them to find parking within their neighborhoods involved and performing that to make it more neighborhood friendly and people have rent cars or share cars and finally working with our partners in the planning department and planning commission improving traffic transportation to demand management so people have access to great choices and people invest in the security and customer service and with our parking garages to make sure that the customers feel safe and secure and their vehicles are safe and secure i'll ask any colleague victor to talk about the budget and coverage. >> thank you, tom good afternoon commissioner president fong and members of the commission victor i want to share a little bit about our proposed budget after all this

is what tom talked about getting done in the city san francisco municipal transportation agency has a budget of two ways the operating budget is (110) 000-0000 the revenues from the following services 28 from parking and transfer fees and fines a quarter is allocated if the general fund, 18 from transit fairs and 13 from operating grants, 8 percent from capital projects development fees and population based on fund allocation and 8 percent from various sources that is taxi drivers interest in our departmental recovery that's how the one point one billion dollars at the bottom a pie chart in the coming years as you can see the majority of the budget is spent on the transit

division and that is over 50 percent of our budget goes to operating a transit system and 15 on the sustainable streets tom and i represent traffic engineering and bike and pedestrian and parking security investigation and enforcement for the entire outlet of the system and meter shopping and planning team 13 percent agency wide and 11 to the finance and information and technology that is very important investment in our agency and then the remaining to a number of smaller division no the department that is capital programs and instruction and taxis and so on and so forth so that's our operating budget and then moving on to our capital budget a glimpse of that capital improvement program or cpi it is a $3.4 billion program over the course of the next 5

years and the capital budget the first years of cpi the priorities are consistent with transportation 2030 as you can see from the bar graph that focuses on rehabilitation and expansion in the state of good repair and important to maintain our transportation infrastructure that whole chunk and expansion is another category and safety is our agencies number one priority and then subway we're so excited to open in 2019 the pie chart on the rights is where the money comes from approximately half of that money comes from local sources and about another half 45 percent from federal sources and then the tiny from the state about 6 percent. >> i wanted to take a minute to talk a little bit about

regional funding and give you kind of a thirty thousand foot view of that over the next 28 years new starts and small starts for the bay area will amount under 4. $5 billion new starts is a primary funding source for major capital improvement and up to percent of the projects cost for the latest we've seen more like 50 percent the projected 4. $5 billion $2 billion is committed to the central subway and others $2 billion planned for other regional projects like the dtx or brt like the van ness brt or the east bay and the remaining portion of $360 million the resource from now and 2040 of

that three hundred plus to the $30 million maybe available to san francisco based on historically what the proportion is and how it's allocated so unfortunately identified unfunded need by the bar chart on the right is over $5 billion the reflects the shareholders like the geary brt and other projects we will be discussing and exploring as part of sf connect the subject of the joint he hearing coming up next week so with that the need for transportation investment is a readily apparent they're expecting to add mental illness of residents and jobs and a significant part will be added to san francisco really this level of growth in

funding bring uncertainty from the land use perspective where the land sf project will figure out the connection between land use and transportation integration so i have to tell you this is a tremendous stake but nevertheless, important to acknowledge at the agency responsible for making sure that people can get around safely we care deeply how the land use development and transportation and this is why we're excited about the joint hearing next week to talk about that and have that conversation but i want to take a minute and tell you we've been working our governor jerry brown body didn't work together with other departments and my tenure with the planning department and over the 10 years

and work together over various levels i want to give you a glimpse we work on small things whether or not there is a proposal coming in front of the but have some thing called street design and bike team and staffed by mta and planning department staff that look at projects and look at the circulation and decide things that maybe little but are important like where is the driveway going to go and effect things we work on larger policy issues with our partners at the mayor's office and with the county transportation authority and you're not doubt familiar with the sustainability as you recall we passed the sustainability fee last year to close that funding gap i've talked about early a level of service reform and exist as you

may know you'll have the transportation to demand management ordinance in front of you on august 14th think and the policies efforts and finally the mta has a go dedicated team that work with the planning department and currently working together on the mission rock and pier 70 to insure the proper transportation system is to support those and this is the process now in the past we've worked on treasure island and hunters point sympathy or prejudice so we looked to having the joint meeting last week and talking about sf connect. >> how to plan for the transportation system with that, i'm available to answer any questions thank you. >> very good thank you interest open up for public

comment. >> sue hester thank you very much for this presentation and for the handout i want to remind both mta and the planning department that san francisco is a city that has mountains in the middle of it we're not all flat i went through the pictures that are in here there's two i think hills in the back of pictures in there and 1 sloping street the planing division of mta and the planning department staff are creatures of the rest of the housing problems my perception

few people are hired in the past 5 years live in the city so people don't internalize getting around the city and the difficulties on transit or bikes the same if they've come to the city fairly recently and don't live with experience in the hilly neighborhoods this map you have basically leaves out all the hills hilly in the middle and their heights castro hill and telegraph hill and russian hill pacific heights those hills all over the place are not major arteries that you are walking for vision zero i know that when i look at the map people don't the people their cranky when

they come to the planning commission by circulation not being a priority of getting to potrero hill pies poor buses in the bayview hunters point and people at the planning commission dump the projects and except the people that walk over hills they're not understanding to tell people to walk over hills so both planning and mta have to be i was hoping to have a 3-d map of the city i want that i think that it needs to be part of the furniture in your office to see the city in 3-d every time they come to the city and not disregard it and take planning documents without regarding asking people to go up

a steep cliff it takes me two hours to get to the ferry building from my house on muni because it takes 3 buses and involves hills in the middle i get around now because i have by car but muni has been my life's blood and really hard for people on hills thank you. >> thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> okay not seeing any, public comment is closed. >> commissioner antonini. >> thank you for a good presentation a few maybe comments or questions you have done a good job on in my opinion on the upper market situation prior hissing upper market for cars and using corbett particularly parallel for bikes it is a suicide which

for bikers rilgd up and down and corbett is a good street to use it didn't appear i've not seen the plans but hear usual trying to take away the traffic lanes the only artery that is problem o possible for cars to go from east to west and west to east there are divisadero but barker that would be a gloo good place to put you're busy and bikes the busses center have to stop frequently anyway and the bikes you know can ride and hopefully should stop at the stop signs so that's on thought another question or comment is i was driving on mission going north and all of a sudden shakespeare's and went right. i

was going to look at a couple of projects in the mission on fulsome and on harrison so i really if not to go too far and make a left turn i'm not sure i guess you're trying to direct the in bound traffic to other streets that's my thought used to driving mission the major artery what is strange the other comments in regards to things that sue hester brought up about the hills those are ancestors had nor foresight saw hills and used them to their advantage southern pacific used twin peaks or used the hills to put the rail line through the hills and got this downtown san francisco easy the trains had to go warn it seems to me some advanced planning i know you don't dr. the funding

but the master plan this where we put in transit through hills and put in subways not kind of work just when the funding it there politically it is expedite someone this is a to put out a master that make sense rather than two or three times with buses and maybe doing rail and deciding well, it should be a subway and van ness is highway 101 the cars will go to franklin that is packed your competing with everything else for the bus rapid transit that will be light rail but a subway we're not making any more lanes the u.s. highway is not going anywhere that's the wiser plan and the other thing i always commented

on what you side downtowns for pedestrians much safer and then theirs right turns for traffic and no pedestrians move this thereby implemented citywide on business place a lot of accidents occur or congestion or tempers flare you're trying to make a round and everybody rushes to get through and the same with the left turn same thing pedestrians are at risk their stepping out and sometimes motorists are blocked by the car in front of the them and you know they have to speed will or behind a car as soon as it clears and the pedestrians steps off a curve that will be a plan

for a lot of safety another comment is i like individual meters i don't mind paying for them i bring lots of quarters credit cards make it easier those group meters are gang meters are a problem you have to go to them and half the people don't know how to operate them including me fourth where you were parked and go through the codes it is time consuming and maybe cheaper but irritating you can't do an individual meter i'm seeing more and more of those i yield areas with gang meters i'll walk further and notices that some people have committed it smokeless our fairs for muni are lower than other large cities and should be explored we have exceptions for montana that pays regular fair if you're old you don't and

young you don't if you're handicapped there are all reasons why you don't pay the full fair we have to look at it honestly and see if we can get for revenue for fairs as i mentioned but a master plan we will go from here and out on the richmond district a huge place and utilizing the hills and working in conjunction with bart to see if there's a way a joint line can be done those are some of my thoughts on the issues. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you, thank you very much for this presentation i'll excited about next week i appreciate all the information we got toy and except for today that was supposed to be last week and for next week i'm is a starting to
