commission the second issue is the community health we've heard about the levels of toxins in the 200 underground soil that mortgages the kids and families the users of the park and the workers at the site of construction and so for that reason it is under conscionable to improve that watt a full eir process and my closing comment is very supportive of the good quality union jobs that will be create but let's create overseeing good quality jobs out of a great project that addresses the community health and equatable and not produce more displacement in the neighborhood and for the sun project that displaces the families and mortgages the public's health

thank you. >> good evening commissioner i'm a community organizer and like everybody i'm here to organizational some of the concerns i live and work in the mission i know what the displacement crisis has had in my community and the families i work with i'll go in and raise the concerns that displacement that is concurring in the community is ininsane we're smarter and bring better solutions for the families and not just families a beautify as a health educators i'm concerned about the health impact that building new development in our community will create not only for the workers within the units but the families that live in

this community he hope that you do the right thing and hope that you really listen and take into consideration the needs of families living in in communities we definitely time to have better neighborhood but the same neighbors thank you. >> good evening. i'm also with that organization and echo some of the things that have been said but you know consistently communities of color displaced by intoxication environment this yet another example and time we change the tune and seeing sing a completely different song a better neighborhood with the same maybe so neighbors and mentions by my other cork the park was cleaned up but by community groups and now completely i think assessable to

our community the soil on the sites was tested and bond to bond so have high levels of led the school children coordinating and people hanging out at the park we definitely need an i went to keep our neighborhood healthy and we need to provide a structure for the kids that go to school across the street live in the same community they grew up in no luxury housing by sustainable equatable housing should be another priority thank you. >> hi commissioners i'm disabling with the mission development agency and i'm calling to ask you to postpone this project for consideration until the latino cultural district and the results of market-rate can be assessed and

other planning processes in place like map 2020 and a ballot measure that happens with the pdr lands according to the chief economist ted egan we preserve and get for blowing blue-collar jobs and inject $50 million into the economy those jobs are not built when you have luxury restaurants and basically retail those displaced from the tire stores to other factories and other places the city failed we have the lowest land use for industrial lands 5.8 percent less than for the city we metro meta and assess development over three years ago and basically gave them we never meet with developers but should them some of the practices that are

assessable for the neighborhood we shared the peoples plan and meta policy and how to maintain the blue-collar jobs since we've talked with them none of our suggestions have been implemented no increasing affordable housing the tenderloin negotiated a project with 20 percent inclusionary housing and money for offsite development and all kinds of things and to have that we have pending processes which your offices are working on to actually measure some of the impacts we're asking you to gusts time to assess the project and the voters to assess they want to preserve manufacturers and industrial use jobs a huge disparities of wealth we're losing the middle-income those housing

we're losing the middle-income blue worker jobs please postpone until those are mitigated it is the wrong time 4 hundred and 60 people signed a petition so, please commissioners i'll not take up you'll your time it is the wrong time especially the park impacts at the school impacts that it is adjacent to thank you very much. >> buenas dias i want to speak to you commissioners as someone that worked with youth a lot of chicano and youth as someone that is working with united as well and seen workers rights violations from gentrification and the different types of developments this 1 o'clock housing is not affordable

housing; right? we're not housing crisis we're in a housing crisis some of us work with the youth i've seen t youth pushed out of the city and struggles or struggling with housing having to come from the east bay to go to school as someone that worked retail from 16 to 24 that worked on valencia street seeing the trickle effects of what luxury housing i can tell you how many stores and valencia violate the worker laws barely pay them minimum wage and don't give them breaks it creates the trickle effect this luxury housing creates it the coalition said no one is trying to pressure but the trickle effects with the gentrification and police brutality and the

youth and better late than never the future generations and the workers that are working and those communities that are changing dramatically so i just want everyone here in this room to been those future generations and the workers; right? those immigrant those young working-class and the environmental impact it is 101 to know it is above the levels of toxins i want you to know think about the youth and future generations to come thank you. >> additional speakers yep. >> anyone else in the overtime that wants to speak on this item come up to room 4 hundred. >> i want to oppose the project for the reasons he agree with evething that's been said in opposition i just want to make it clear i

don't know that the community is considered in the project and the impacts that will this project will have on the community and the culture that is there and something that should definitely be considered when going forthwith the project what it is it doing to the community nothing good we've seen displacement we have should have learned if the mistakes and go forward with something that benefits the situation at hand which is more affordable housing most of us are not against building more but we would like to see places we can live as people that have been adapted perhaps come back to the place they've grown up in thank you. >> hello commissioners nice to

see you i'm a 40 year resident of the mission district and on the council of the quatro and here to ask you to postpone the project until we can get a better project one of the things we're waiting for our report on the latino cultural district and so we have a better idea how to move forward so that's pending also i agree there is questions about the environmental review and there's a question of led in the soil as we know i think this was you know a big issue with the lennar project in the hunters point with contaminates in the soil like a dense neighborhood you have to be careful but i think the point i want to make we've come to you in all sorts of ways the residents of the mission and one time there were no not many

of us showing up but more and more people are consistently come and tried different things working with the commission on the moratorium the possible moratorium on construction but our basic point you don't know i don't think the commission dangerous we want more affordable housing but you have to help us accomplish that so when you have a project like this with a cu the developers are doing the minimum i believe in terms of affordable housing whereas we see other projects around the city that are mentioned tonight where the developers have come down and really made an effort to provide more housing but here again, we're just basically getting luxury housing they're plenty of that and we need do affordable housing so you do have some

leverage in considering this project and i would hope personally that you would help us get something in return more than the developers have been offering so with that, in mind we need more time to try to work something out for the developers i ask you to people the approval until postpone this until another day thank you very much. >> hi commissioners rick hall with the commission network asking you to continue this project so that we can get a better project i was actually one the group that recently met with the developers and their attorney and you know essentially there was no movement just this is

what we're allowed to do this is what we're going to do they didn't hear us they didn't work with the mission at all and this is these 3 coming up coming projects that are impacting the latino cultural district are some of the most important in the pipeline to get right so i object to it in this case it is not continued i object to the project cu, lp a and not meeting the general plan and is mission plan the eir is over committed and it is the plan is over committed in the mission it is pe eir is con

seats for all the reasons contained in supervisor wiener's letter that was delivered to you this package delivered today and for all the reasons statistics in the appeal record for 2000 bryant i object to this project being approved thank you. >> commissioners, i have an e-mail from. >> you've already spoken on that. >> i was wondering can i read. >> you can't do that you can submit it. >> okay is there any additional public comment? >> >> a bunch of cards in there. >> okay. he's spoken is there

any public comment richardy checking thank you. >> sir if you're ready. >> why is the planning commission encouraging the development of more luxury housing we currently have two and 20 percent more than needs currently 22 luxury housing planned for mission for 2016 luxury unit and only 200 and plus affordable units thirty

percent the condo developments built since 2000 have absentee owners that number is 50 percent or above the developments are development properties that housing that precedes the value along with the properties around them increase in value as a 200 to three hundred percent rate in only a few years those luxury hours developments have not solved the housing crisis in san francisco they have actually create catastrophic effects including the displacement of thousand of low and middle-income workers out of san francisco which is causing a shortage of workers in schools and tourists and trade

industries in san francisco at current rate of luxury housing and pdr and has the disadvantaging effects of evictions the mission district and it's cultural and latino heritage community and businesses will not be here in 5 years and will exit out of san francisco and never come back it will become extent by the former african-american harlem of the west in the western edition this is the current mission which our commission has implemented with the luxury housing developers there are other ways to solve the housing crisis i'm encouraging the planning commission to study the hours solutions that the cities of singapore has development through the years thank you. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment okay

not seeing any, public comment is closed. >> director rahaim. >> thank you commissioners i want to make a few comments before you deliberate into clarify for the record something that the ballot measure first, i want to thank everyone for coming out and want to make it clear we will be preceding as i understand it the legislation to further enhance the latino cultural district had been introduced in a few months at board and work with the board and the mayor's office on that legislation and in light of that i have asked that the 3 developments coming to you today and next week to meet with the representatives of the latino cultural district and meetings i'll facilitate i think one of the things in the dialogues between the neighbors and developers they're talking at

cross purposes with each other without a city representative in the room that helps to facilitate that it is difficult and to be frank little sides have little incentive to move i'm frustrated with that and so i think frankly i don't have a position on whether or not to continue this i'm sorry to say it is up to you all the department didn't have a position but regardless of what you do i want to convene those meeting and have a frank discussion with the representatives of the latino cultural district number one and number 2 there is i think some misinformation about the ballot measure it is on the ballot it colonel applies about the provisions whether you approve it today or not has to do with with the date that they submitted the environmental application which was submitted before july 14th i think the

date and based on the fact they submitted by that time they'll have to provide some replacement pdr not the full amount 40 percent replacement regardless of what the project is approved has to be appropriated has to do with when they submitted their environmental application not when it is approved not when it is voted on simple the way the ballot measure is drafted if it passes they'll have to provide 40 percent of the current pdr space as replacement so again you know, i wanted to remind us all that we're moving forward with vision 2020 that work has resulted in the provision and the funding of seven hundred and 50 units of affordable housing in the mission but there fact of the matter 2000 units additional housing or housing in the pipeline some of

which are affordable and working hard to make sure the changes in the mission can be addressed in the context agrowth and still or plan and we're moving forward thank you. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. thank you all for your comments i'll opposed to any kinds of continuance a lot of the project the comments by supervisor campos are answersable by some of the things i'm going to tell you about now and some of the things we've known about first of all, you know luxury hours matters of is not luxury hours market-rate is what people are willing to pay for 2 in some economically depressed area that is low priced much lower than

than market-rate if in an area so you get after it is more expensive that is realty the fact there are 5 thousand new people into the mission district every year we we've built almost no new housing i went over this at the beginning of the meeting many of you were not here those 5 thousand people have to live somewhere their oftentimes coming in and living where previous mission residents lived so those who are trying to i am apply we have caused displacement from building housing master in the mission we haven't built any a total of 200 and 27 units not all market-rate there are affordable units out of 16 hundred and 96 that were analyzed in the very restrictive plan of the mission part of the

eastern neighborhoods that on represents about 13 percent of that 1696 so of that housing that is built 37.3 percent is affordable housing from 2009 to 2015 impacts the people people are talking about if their felt now not from building housing if anything not from building housing anyone that is an economist will tell you if you have a lower supply than the prices go up it make sense i had a conversation with enrique a highly reminded uc berkley exists on monday and said the rental are adverse to the housing seattle and boston and san francisco and gave us the

rental prices in the areas did the best the appraise are way down and seattle were slightly lower they built quite a bit in and san francisco was the worse we've built none particularly in the mission district the idea behind the latino cultural district a notable one in the last mission district has been home to many ethnic groups in the last thor or 40 years a majority of people hispanic background and obviously fine to say a cultural district and preserve it like north beach has an italian in charge you don't center to be an italian to live there many people live in north beach and it's changed over the years but maintenance a lot of the italian culture and the

italian population i mean, i'm supportive of that but don't think this should be the ability to regulate what gets built and what does and who can come in and not come in that's not the right way not how we should do business and evaluate the businesses on their own merit some of the things in the letter that supervisor campos he mentioned building affordable and maefrtd which we're trying to do last week, we approved one and 37100 percent affordable units that cast a shadow on the park about 3 percent but you know nobody said anything about that i was in charge it make sense now asking to do a market-rate project and which includes some affordable and as far as pdr displacement another subject everybody was talking about the figures i've received

from the staff they were available to you less than one percent of the pdr that is planned to be converted to other uses a umu in the mission district is actually been so converted and that's not - that's a fact i have it from staff you'll have to talk with the staff mr. petersen and anyone has a problem he can substantiate those figures this particular project involved 6 jobs two projects sharon and the royal project the royal project stated within san francisco not a loss of a cultural facility the sharon business wants to go to the east bay a hard place to get they're big trucks in and out most of their employees live in the east bay your not

displacing any local people and the cultural center that will go in there employ 5 people two or three will be pdr type of jobs we'll net the pdr jobs with this project so i think as i said a lot of the things that are asked for in here we've passed the eastern neighborhoods and set certain provisions and we've been trying to build things since this was passed in 2009 and built almost nothing there is no so much resistance and one reason for o from certain segments of the community the prices are high you have to go through a fight and not good enough some reason this is perfectly

well-thought-out project i'll ask mr. victor marquis please a couple of questions some allegations about the soil in the area i mean, i building this is being approved under the community plan exemption but we want to know about that particular allegation. >> yeah. i'll defer to co-counsel. >> yeah. >> good evening, commissioners so in san francisco called the missouri her the local 22 and the - as part of it it needs to remitigate the soil under the supervision of the health department so any contaminates will be direct under that provision and under that ordnance. >> it is true on treat a rail line and many projects built on treat so mitigate anything that

is a problem we received a letter from one member of the mexican museum you know saying that what he was not endorsing or the group endorsing the use of mexican museum as part of gallery that you're creating. >> i'll be happy to address that commissioner antonini and for the rest of the commission for the record we approached the then executive director mr. lopez whether the mexican mime will be interested in bag a designee of a cultural space to revibrate their educational programming which they've been doing for a couple of decades and basically the issue the former education director for the mexican museum and ascended to the position her - this is

not a gallery space and place where some of the 16 thousand plus pieces of arts in storage with the mexican museum do two things enable the arts from local san franciscan and mexican-american artists to be brought into the community and also to work with community artists from the mission in and around the mission they can come in and do stations on the pathway and more importantly is to do programming in the affordable housing developments with children for after-school programs and bring overseeing mexican museum programs within the mission district morph part of the reason that

the to accept the designation they didn't have the final say the mexican museum was followed up in 1975 ironically on fulsome street a coming home and it also happens to correlate with a long term lease at yerba buena island a 99 yearlong lease this particular space will help the mexican museum not enough office space to accommodate volunteers and some of the community artists as well some of the staff this will provide space in the heart of community to be able to do the programming and allow for more office space which the design shows not enough over at the yerba buena lastly before her departure passed this to the spokesperson

that can binds legally the mexican museum i was not privy to the plan but the local designation a two one way in the past the community has been critical development projects that makes promises that never follow through so this was a legal document that was created to insure the developer will actually for the purpose through and provide is this long term lease at one dollars perpetuity to have this space the mou has been part of packet and as i understand as an officer of the court i attest signed by the chairman of the board of mexican museum. >> thank you very much that answers a lot of the questions we're not implying their

endorsing but working with the project and making use of space. >> that's correct the mexican museum has not taken a position to endorse the project they've accepted the volunteery designation from the developer to use it as a community arts space and where respect to the pdrs this is something we worked on with supervisor kim in april in her office in particular we actively worked out an amend introduced into the pdr legislation if so correct and already recorded by director rahaim that the developer if the legislation passes the developer will not have a choice to dot pdrs again, the language in the legislation is pdr or art space and given the cultural sensitivity that impacts the latino heritage district the

developer has opted to work with the community and create additional beyond the designated square footage to the museum that enables other organizations that do arts and culture with the community to bring in addition art programming and cultural programming within the development. >> so that's good to hear so there's a possibility of more space available for pdrs are arts use are both. >> if the pdr yes, sir. if the pdrs legislation passes it will more double 60 percent more between 25 and three hundred square footage of art space and as is director said it will be increased as the case with prop c when that increased the affordability this proposition were to pass increase the amount of art space within the space.

>> i stand corrected more than that be 4 thousand outside and 3 thousand indoor close to 7 house total of art and cultural space onsite. >> part of it is a cu it is modest bus if there is a small part rh3 that make sense but it is it would be appeal able to the board of supervisors and things have been known to change in course this a very good project we should get on the road to moving forward i had a couple of more things to say questions were brought up trying to do all the sorts of things of increased affordability this was not eligible for the state affordability bonus and the local was not in place yes, sir this was one reason it was not

able to have a higher degree of affordability and also there are one and 49 thousand square feet of pdr square footage within a mile of this particular site and 33 thousand vacant office space within the area so part of pdr thing none looktz how much is vacate and we set aside a lot of space in the eastern neighborhoods for pdr and as you'll hear in a project oftentimes the same use will move a mile away to another pdrs site which is more advantageous and considerations we saw the sharon moving they have a crux it is difficult to get into a love residential neighborhood i went there on the 12 of julia beautiful sunny day this is to

the northwest of the park no shadow impact on the beautiful park - so, anyway i walked introduce there agree lovely place no impact in the sun even in july at the 3 in the each one afternoon was to the south that's as far north as it gets never an impact and 27 neighbors have spoken in support i think that is a good project i'm ready to move forward i'm open to other commissioners, if at the feel they want to make a slight modifications to the project i'll be receiver but time to get rolling and start building housing then what housing is built if there are complaints about displacement or complaints about problems maybe grounds to it but right now

nothing it built you can't blame the displacement on what is built nothing has been built. >> commissioner hillis. >> yes thanks ms. flolz would you comment on our the cultural district and the 2020 plan. >> the map 2020 plan. >> so the office of economic workforce development has been leading the latino cultural district with the community and the quatro counsel and coordinating basically that started much earlier and had a long history but at the last meeting or last map 2020 meeting we were trying to coordinated the introduction of special use district that will happen at the board in segment and likely to come to you in october 20th it, it is the day with other zoning

and short time measures we've been talking about in map 2020 we are moving things parallel. >> can you elaborate. >> we're working with the special use district and blanking i don't have it in front of me but looking at the reexclamation of the heights with the - and looking at other short time actions not related to commercial uses but the pdrs but those are outside of the district we are trying to align basically align our processes to we're having progress on both and coordinated and not. >> sure if i may. >> commissioner what the work that the community has been

doing with mohcd when the suds are my understanding it is proposed to make that time the controls and some restrictions on types of uses as much as restaurants dough have that right eric once in a while we'd like to follow-up and do more work with height on 24th street and better controlling the height limits on 3/4ths that is a second phase in the cultural district. >> so what specifically does this project brings you think will be subject to some look at in the future with changes. >> what's the last part of your question. >> not on 24th street your mission area is 20 plan has hundred line items. >> so this project this plan

what actually comes out at the end. >> one of the things we're looking at is there to be a pdr requirement and there's a ballot measure introduced but discussions with the map 2020 we need to wait for the okay of that but we're analyzing what was the pdr requirement when we first where developing the zoning controls if we do the affordability act eats pdrs requirement what is the balance of the two that's with an the biggest - i mean, the plan is also having we have - we've been discussing with the communities about the tacks this is one and 50 utilities if the mayor's office of housing and

community development and some from the master projects to meet the the fact of the matter we know through are rules - it is age encouragement for development projects to do more in meeting this target. >> we got a letter if the supervisor asking you to continue this project i take those seriously, however, nothing i take as given my record i'm batting i've batted a few that struck out in terms of that i moved a project forward on lombard street when the supervisor asked for a continuance both to the community and the project sponsor i was listening about the discussion for a continuance

that's really right now before us speak into the microphone please. sorry one of the things i want to make sure that everyone walks away with a fair shake on the continuance and if we don't continue the project i'm having a hard time trying to understand i'm asking how this project fits with the cultural district and to be honest the cultural district without people is a museum so everyone is gone and look back and say remember when the latinos lived here that's not what i want or to think about moving forward i guess the folks so you're asking for a continuance and i'm having a hard time seeing where this project fits with the actual controls coming under place

address to what ms. flolz said how it relates to the mission 2020 plan. >> she explained the quatro district was set up much earlier so when the map 2020 project or the project started with the rest of the community make sure that we aligned and were not offering lapsing so the latino cultural district the with work we've done to make sure those impacts of luxury development or market-rate development is mitigated and it is lowered in the latino cultural district one thing perceive talked about increasing the rates of housing in the latinos cultural district to do that has one tool we've talked about the affordable housing overlay in that area it is designated the latino district and the special use district so some of the work on 24th street not done in other

parts of mission maybe on mission street because of it is happening there and 21 street it is decreasing the heights we're also looking at conditional use for putting together storefronts we're looking if someone want to open up a restaurant there's going to be conditions if it is under the 35 percent 3 hundred radius. >> say that again. >> a restaurant coming to 24th street we're over the general plan on the restaurants we let the 35 and we left it there if a restaurant wants to come in we have to look at the percentage three hundred square feet around there so over 35 not allowed if it is allowed we'll have to have a conditional use and still meet 6, 4 out 6 conditions are you

affordable and how are you a family related business, how do you connect with the latino cultural district there are conditions that the communities bring together to come into that space to preserve the whole latino cultural district we're looking stronger i guess interlatino cultural district because of the history in that location and the contribution we've made to the mission and san francisco as a whole. >> okay thanks i guess a question for the city attorney the speaker would they're looking an overlay for the sud is that a legal vehicle given the package of prop c. >> deputy city attorney kate stacy are commissioners a couple of issues i think are part of

our questions one is where a different housing requirement for various zoning district might be lost and certainly as long as san francisco is the feed more affordable housing city we would be required to provide app a nexus if is particular development causes the needs for hours maybe a different zones maybe not be but as long as san francisco remains within the nexus analyze it could for various policy reasons community-based organization different inclusionary housing requirements in different zones as long as is remains within the nexus requirement so if this legislation resulted in a slightly different affordable housing requirement as long as it was still spofd by a nexus

analysis could be different from the rest of the city the new prop c the charter amendment adapted by the voter in june has not taken effect so many steps the city has taken the 8 steps to put that we're filing with the secretary of state. >> the inclusionary housing by ordinance there are no longer limits contained in the charter so those two reasons i think that is possible for the city so have different inclusionary requirement zoning district by zoning district as long as pits supported by the nexus analysis. >> the question to the director the affordable housing nexus study is in process i thought we'll have refresher coming in the fall. >> we are getting close the mayor's office of housing study

is underway under their jurisdiction i don't exactly know the timeline. >> thank you very much i share commissioner antonini's eventually have to move forward and if you were standing up here saying i want another study i didn't hear this exchange i'll not support a continuance i am open, however, i believe there should be more think domain short term and the directors addition to the discussion around getting parties involvement i guess the question if you sat down with the developer you'll not get everything you want and you have to be flexible correct. >> so get at&t's an affirmation. >> i've never stormed out of a room yet and also feel very strongly that we need to address

what victor marcus said to the district of the parties in the room ma gull has the authority to speak that's why he sent you the e-mail he's on the tarmac but said they only found out yesterday this thing is happening the mexican museum is not part of this and had dealings are that developer that has a skasht e-mail he wanted to let you guys know i'm embarrassed to say the kind of people we're dealing with i want the mayor's office of housing in the room way have before you is not done what. >> have before you is a shame that we're at the last hour right now and all of a sudden the community voices is

liberated 0 to we've gone to the meetings and told them what we want to see there and able to look at my big concern there is more middle-class housing they'll not quality for the brt i'm or i'd like to see a mixed use in the income helping the community not taking away from it we need to get to the truth how to present in front of a body of government officials a lie so i'm concerned about what is presented before you and looking through all the documents i'd like to spend hours go through it point by point by the time is before you with a presentation that is agreeable as a community-based i don't want to see it like

delores park it is where people get surplus organic food i don't want to see a high-rise of folks going to kick that park away. >> i'm open to a continuance if other commissioners are open to it as well as well the time has to be managed and scheduled and milestones on some delivery otherwise i think we'll be exacerbating a bad situation. >> signifies commissioner hillis. >> sorry well, thank you thank you director rahaim for the continued work on map 2020 in the latino cultural district as well as their many versions residents that have been involved again, i think it is a little bit we're not new to projects in the mission in the

introverts about promotions in the mission as elsewhere and this question whether we sometimes devolving back to this moratorium discussion not build is to not the result we're beyond that we are dragged back into that unfortunately back back in the day in the mission moratorium and supervisor that legislation that didn't pass about moratoriums in the mission we present and passed interim controls and those interim controls were to make projects kind of better than kind of what you will get from interpreting the code that's where i'm not against the project it is well-designed and kind of fits into the physical context my problem is a

bare bones minimum minimum affordable housing, we don't replace any of the pdr, there is questions whether the mexican museum is really involved we did get the e-mails in the text their questionable whether there is a candidates ones of mexican museum to do something there that's my trouble with the project as is you know i'm reluctant to continue it we do the bryant street i thought we were alter a good point but a battle at the end of the day it wasn't a project not a moratorium but i think many of us on the commission thought it was a good project and hundred times better than we originally got i'm supportive of a project here but it has to be beyond what we're seeing the bear bones kind of minimum

affordable housing it will be interesting to see or maybe hear in the project sponsor what you will do in the pdrs legislation passed and maybe doing that has a part of the project and partnering with someone that activates the pdr space we're not seeing anything beyond the minimum. >> with respect to the pdrs legislation we'll comply certainly that's our intent and as far as is mexican museum we have assigned mou with them but another organization we work with we'll committed to provide the spaces for the mission artists to display their work we have a legitimate candidates to work with the mexican museum if for political reasons to boo out we're going to have the space available for the community. >> i'd like to see more on

that and if again i don't think we should continue it because i think what will come out find map 2020 and the latino cultural integrity gentrification is there a plan and study and all of a sudden we think we can solve this problem it is complex but this project to contribute to the issues i don't think that has it is proposed now it does that whether that an increase of affordable housing, i'm not looking for we hear 50 percent from the folks in the neighborhood that's not viable we didn't get it a push and the board passed a 25 percent and grandfathered in the projects you all are coming applying with the grandfather we appreciated that but we've got a history here because of the mission and interim controls where pdr is

displaced and more affordable housing we need to see that here i'm not seeing it i'll support a continuance not until map 2020 is done and the legislation not looking to not have any project here but looking to have a better project. >> commissioner wu. >> thanks i want to build an commissioner hillis thinking i think at the end of the day, we want to see a different project the issues have come up at the planning commission time after time and about pdr or affordable housing not that we don't know the issues their laid out in a conceptual level in the general plan and then interpretation of whether or not a project meets that falls apart in a different understanding from different groups for me, i have issues can

ask the staff it is a large site correct. >> correct. >> the mid block space is designated and open space. >> yeah. >> used as other space or something else. >> it is pubically assessable into the approval that spells out the space needs to function has to be open basically 24/7 has to have the perfect signage, etc. >> i think the designs it is hard to see a little bit in the rendering the space seems quieted hidden and like too many stairs or looks like a door i couldn't tell it is labeled by words that's the mid block open space and then sorry to make you get up again, the art gallery is that designated pdr space as you understand the seven hundred, 80

square feet. >> no as far as i understand designated as a public facility in the zoning district it is more of viewing gallery basically, it would be allowed to be used for so since typically in rh district pdr is not allowed that portion is within a residential zones. >> so the sites the 3 sites put together to create the project that piece is not umu. >> correct. >> okay. so i think that space design wise again, i have questions it seemed quite o pack not a window so if it were something to go look at what i've hearing there is not pdr space if we need pdr replacement space has to come in a different

location the umu and has to be much for robust in the pdr space. >> i find the fulton street edge is not engaging not relatedable as you're walking down the road and looking at pdr makes it different. >> and when it was reviewed one of the i guess more interesting pieces they have the sunk else - the architect designed a sprays smith and wesson the private entryways where the walk up units happen and the areas only slightly sunken so provides a nice zone

basically for both the residents and the engagement in the streets providing activity. >> so i think what you're saying is that has designed as a residential use but other uses like retail and the larger question of the latino cultural district it is different than the rest of the mission geographyly specific area the city has legislated as a district those are the harder questions the cultural used are impacted who is living in the neighborhood and a connection there how to really protect those small businesses it is really a hard question but i do think that deserves nor thought it is

recognized by we have a motion and a second and the planning department. >> commissioner johnson. >> okay. thank you so first thank you to the city attorney for clarifying the potential for different affordable housing or clorox requirements and different zoning district that is something that i brought up and other supervisors have sort of also seen when we were discussing the elements of follow-up legislation to prop c that was i'm totally not surprised and suspect for the mission and other neighborhoods as well for this project i want to address a couple of things sound like for various reasons the commissioners are in support avenue continuance i can support that as well but i don't like to support continuance until specifically we'll gutting get

out of continuing the project not just to see the vague discussions of others legislative planning agenda they'll be directly recommended or impact this project so right now, i'm only the fence to whether or not the various potential proposals other than the pdr legislation is on the ballot and this project will not be grandfathering i'm on the fence as to whether or not any of the initiative will change anything about this project so i'll say a couple of things and turn it over to a continuance and see where we're at so a couple of things first of all, i know we've talked about community use in the property the mexican museum for the reason the issue with the scenario we've heard there is a reason why the planning

commission didn't get involved in private agreements we are not involved in the gonzales one of the board of the mexican museum and who approved what and did the chair of the board talk about with the other members obviously we want to support all the nonprofits and arts organizations in the city and want to make sure they're all viable and running i will i was a chair of the occ and understanding the challenges in getting the mission district and not involved in what they have or haven't been involved if in i want to take that off the table given that people have tried to connect the latino cultural concept there is something to talking about the space will

support tenancies of mexican museum or other organization and so commissioner wu asked did question i want to bring it back a little bit more what is if the pdr space happens or payment passes or not passes what is the plan for the space and how do i want to ask the project sponsor first how you envision this lapsing with the cultural district and eric how do you envision this space will can support a latino cultural district. >> good afternoon commissioners again, if is legislation passes in november there will be an obligation planned on the project for the pdr that exist on the site as

part find that ordinance that is placed on the ballot a provision that allows for a reduction in the amount of replacement if you're providing it at a below-market rate and execute something from the costa-hawkins agreement there is enforceability so with the project sponsor looked at at this time to look to incorporate the space on the project to replace the pdr space that is lost so as rich mentioned the current space in the mexican museum is a public type of space and is intent to lease it to out to the mexican museum it will relate to the cultural district to continue that perimeter and if it comes into place it will sit within the definition of the pdr to be replaced decade what

it looks like we don't know this all just happened so it recently on tuesday got based plaza on the ballot we're in the process of fourthly how to incorporate it is something that is adopted with the private project and it complies and incorporates in something with the latino cultural district. >> thank you and folks i'd like to ask you the same question you've spoken about the latino district and the ballot measure how you see those combination of one or both that materially change that. >> the definition of what culture is not just arts or events it is foods, it is family, it's music and everything that relates to a culture by looking at the definition we expand what uses

and one of the things we're suggesting was childcare center or a youth program in the area something that the community can use or an arts organization that connects with the community so looking at you know how they can serve the local general community and how affordable one the things we saw what it is being provide free to the mexican museum but no lease as i understand you can so let's see know with very look at that long term lease secure and affordable. >> okay. >> did you want to add something. >> i'm more the expert on the pdr than the latino cultural district the concerns i have of theirs no pdr use at this moment and no replacement and no efforts to

replace they're talking about an open space as art and call that good and it just as someone that runs a nonprofit arts organization that does make art that's what pdr art did you make art i on the mexican museum could be a good fit if they knew that was going on we can sit down together with them this came up as a surprise everything is moving constantly we can't find where the goal is anymore i just can't look at this project and see even they haven't discussed it about the latino cultural district that's been in since 2014 we've talked about that they know where we are it is time to talk and i appreciate director rahaim to over to help with the talks that's where we are. >> okay. so i will say in terms of looking at if there's a

continuance more discrete conversation about the pdr space and hopefully sized appropriate given there is a ballot measure on the ballot that is certain folks will have and sized approximately but make sure that that space is appropriately designed for the range of uses that might fit into the latino cultural district sounds like more than sort of trade shop or gallery space sounds like people want more for the maker artist or family says that a childcare location is really challenging i think that people have talked you've heard me say things we don't have a planning code and a building code right now sfle supports it and makes it difficult not easy i don't know if this is something a fruitful conversation in the short term

sow sheer away from that idea but other configuration so for not just showing them but actually having people in and out of the space hopefully that discussion will happen on the mid block open space commissioner wu asked about that i want to make sure the planner is look at the width appropriate i looked at the plans it is straight through i think they didn't center a 3-d schematic but if you look at their drawings on the block you can see from one end to the other of mid block open space not deciding san diego city council - make sure it is wide enough and sure.

>> yeah. some stuff there is a 20 foot width that goes to 40 above it meets all the criteria of the mid block passage and the idea to make something intimate and not huge just completed one at the potrero 1010 and shot great it is open to the public right now and if their- it's one of my favorites distractions of the planning code and love doing them. >> i like it i actually like it my intention not my issue not pubically assessable the design. >> excuse me - >> ii i excuse me - i'm still talking. >> sorry, sorry. >> that's outlook i want to finish up my comments i appreciate your coming up through yes. the mid block open space

assigned appropriate and two intimate in the area the building goes 20 feet it actually becomes a tunnel if i'm walk alone with my 6-month-old son i don't know how i'll feel about it maybe from a design element but it sounds like to me i'll close is it is two elements make sure the space is appropriate designed for the types of spate space that be supports the latinos district not getting into the mexican museum kind of stuff and the mid block open space. >> commissioner moore. >> thank you commissioner hillis commissioner vice president richards and commissioner wu commissioner johnson i think this opens up a discussion that is the time for a project that

all of a sudden there are two there's a lot of moving parts and all of a sudden in the room with unanswered questions with the community weighing in and for that reason i believe that stepping back with a certain amount of time is to continue the project there are two sides of the project the physical side of the project which on the larger way the ideas present is really good an interesting project but when it comes to the institutional side and the institution of the city the upcoming ballot measure that's where the questions will effect most likely the design of the ground floor and all the comments by the various commissioners including ongoing work and stewardship that the director promises for the developments engaged in the

mission 2020 as well as the latino cultural district i think that is where i'm looking for the director of the department to keep his strong hand into alternatives that departments has the non-restricted pharynx of things that may not happen and sort but 0 the appropriate one it when it comes to the mostly likely okay of that discussion and i believe there has to be ongoing dialogue with pdrs and cultural district and how their share or alternatively give each other space on the ground floor i'm strongly interested in seeing an expression of both for one another in the cyber thank you of the building the building has 3 sides with finding

multiple edges how it meets the ground and i support a continuance i don't really know how long that should be look to director himself and going into recess as of the end of next week and gone until september september is full i'm not sure but i'll make a motion with some direction how the director seize engaging in the process. >> second. >> a couple of things we'll have to figure out a date the calendar is quite full tsf the commission will consider and closed session i think that is important to mention i want to be clear about

expectation nothing in the latino cultural district legislation specifically addresses that one the district but nothing in the current or proposed legislation that challenges what this project will do or should do just to be clear so in some ways we're making up it as go i think to be honest if the commission choose to continue it is inculminate - give me 50 or nothing we have to be realistic it is important if so community comes to table wit

doable i don't recommend waiting until after the election that will be subject to whatever happens in november it is irrelevant whether there is side pdr didn't pass it is not subject but if it passes it is that should not be a consideration when - in my view not recommend you wait until after the election to continue i guess the bottom line if we can figure out a way to keep it in september trying to do it in september one week in september i'm not here but director rahaim. >> one of the things we're looking for the developers start to engage in possibilities and not necessarily about the exact amount of square footage but they're also responding to different ideas that created the more community rooted project if

this project is being basically seen as a alien spaceship to help how it looks at the playground and what it should and shouldn't do a range of creativity i don't know net see a ballot or initiative, etc. make the projects better but requires a stronger commitment to the developers that is happening in the communities that's what we're talking about here. >> commissioner antonini. >> well, i'm against the continuance this is the same thing we tried to pass emeralds or eastern neighborhoods the very people that want the continuance are the same ones we don't want to go project by project we want rules to follow and when the project conform to the rules they should be

approved now not good enough blaming everything on the project we pass those interim controls and we have crafted with other projects some reasonable accommodations which shouldn't be necessary but i think in deference to those people that don't represent the community certain people are certain points of views that everyone in the mission district or money in the smaller proposed cultural district there are a lot of people that live there all kinds of ethic groups and we have to represent them going i don't like the tail wagging the doggy will accommodate some concerns by making suggestions hopefully getting it done today first of all, i think we can drop the amount of parking drop it 10 stalls and use some of

that space to address the most important thing that's replacement of pdr i would like project sponsor to commit to doing whatever i don't net support of legislation we can't talk about that but whatever the number consistent with the costa-hawkins in the lower rental for pdrs or childcare or the artists i'm not sure what the legislation delicate but pdr a commitment in the project sponsor to do that whether the legislation passes or not the third thing will be we can't talk about you know inclusionary and a condition however, i think there is been a call for a higher level he thought it was 19 i heard 17 i'd like to see a higher level not

as a condition but what we've heard and actually have passed in the mission interim controls that we are looking at that when we look at projects within the mission we take into consideration if they have made any contributions of above and beyond the baseline. >> and the fourth thing i'll say take a look at the mid block and make it a minimum of 25 feet there is no concern it's not wide enough but the other issues those are the four things i'd like to see resolve project sponsor comment on those issues. >> i'm mohammed with the group commissioners with respect to the pdrs we can't commit to that today and then additionally with respect to the conversation around the affordable component

willing to commit to 20 percent affordable as well. >> that's good those are a couple of good reasons not to continue a minimum of mid block with 20 feet maybe many baker can comment fourth a way to - >> most is that. >> it is pretty hard to do that on - welcome you to go out to potrero and get a 20 foot wide 60 foot high building is not as interesting you're going to europe or something not like an american space really it is a great tool. >> if there's are security and things like that. >> if i can say 101016 and new

park from hubble and two foot wide with a tunnel it is nice i am not i'll say venice it is a portal it is beautiful and really came out great i'm a believ believer. >> it opens up and connections with the rear yards it is intimate space not really there are fairly good-sized. >> it is neat 20. >> - >> no a condition bus something i will ask you to study should this be approved to see if there a pocket of working with the community and seeing if there are areas that could be opened up a little bit more in the open space. >> anyone if you want to go

over there right now. >> we have a motion first. >> i'm speaking against it and the reasons why not sproetd for accident continuance we have a deal that sounds attractive. >> commissioner hillis. >> so again, i'm supportive of a continuance. >> commissioner hillis the cac has. >> commissioner president fong deputy city attorney kate stacy i'm i just want to emphasize to the planning commission that prop c is the charter amendment that takes the affordable housing restrictions and requirements out of chapter the board of supervisors has adapted very specific trailing legislation with specific grandfathering clauses and requirements that apply in a couple of difference zones for the planning commission to go beyond those restrictions in

the planning code i think will require the planning commission to really consider blood whether there are exceptional or extraordinary i don't know the charges for the new affordable housing inclusion requirements under the new legislation but not the 20 percent amount or whatever amount the planning commission is considering the planning commission has to do a couple of things one explain why this site is an unusual condition that will require some additional inclusionary housing beyond what the board of supervisors has legislated, and, secondly, to make sure that the inclusionary housing is supported by the nexus analysis just because the project sponsor

is willing to agree doesn't mean the planning commission has the authority for a condition of approve and if the planning commission is going to consider doing that i would recommend again allowing some time for the planning department staff to do the analysis and to provide the information so that the planning commission can make the necessary finding. >> okay may i respond to the commissioner secretary kate stacy. >> yeah. i just sort of brought up what was within the mission interim controls and some of the things we've taken into consideration but not a project sponsor can voluntary say whatever we want to but

volunteer i believe and more affordable housing middle-income. >> but - commissioner hillis. >> i appreciate those comments and your response i think that is along the lines what we are looking at you know modified changes we're not involved in the city's problems a well-designed you know sensible project but looking at the controls in the mission we pass in how it can be a little bit better and you've outlined with commissioner antonini's certainly are are have an exact to the design and looks and feels from the street that will be good to see sometime in september mid september will be a good time to here this and supportive if there's a dates along the lines to hear this.

>> how about september 22nd. >> that will actually be the one date i'll recommend. >> oh. >> look at that. >> your saying yes. >> well the ineventual. >> i'm off the week before that will work. >> the one request just to circle back in terms of what i heard we would be working with the sponsor to add pdr space in addition to the gallery. >> yes. >> correct. >> as well as reexamining the design the mid market open space the two main directives. >> i've heard thing about the edges and something about the parking ratio and heard something about obviously the

inclusionary but less tangible direction how to better fit with the intent of the cultural district and frankly don't know what it fully means a combination of design and uses that's what i'll bring to the there is a motion on the table some combination of the dine and the uses proposed in the building. >> okay commissioner vice president richards. >> one question before we agree and a dated we heard ms. flolz saying october 20th something at the board of supervisors no the new legislation to introduce further controls in the cultural district will be introduced at the board in october your - to be fair those controls are correct me if i am wrong eric those controls are by the commercial part of the district. >> if there's further changes

on affordability e i'll be supportive. >> it will take a longer time period. >> thank you. i'm okay with september 22nd the secretary recommended we not side. >> offering that's the only date. >> are you. >> i'm fine do you have a date when it is heard at the board of supervisors. >> no, i don't. >> i don't remember the introduction date but introducing it in september. >> what - they'll hear it after october 20th they'll wait for your recommendations. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much so your testimony we're getting into a date i want to clarify the connection to the latino cultural design e district sounds like the space is encountered at the a trade shop for gallery i wanted to make sure there was confusions of a variety of used to support of cultural district to make art or

potentially other uses and i'll keep that open but i'd like to see a space and physical changes means the ceilings need tobacco higher or move a units i'd like to keep those conversation open but i wanted that on the table to be sure. >> today was hoping to approve that project and get more housing built in san francisco but in supporting support of the continuance and supported director rahaim's comments the community has to be concrete and use this time wisely to see what it is viable and affordable and pencil out for this project and others we'll go around and around if not good concrete suggestions to keep the projects alive so absolutely this will not work so it will be helpful to those discussions if you can

give that thought per commissioner johnson. >> no. >> commissioner moore. >> there is a residents between and you and commissioner johnson and myself said about the ground floor and location of different used to come into place and a new discussions on earth with you leading the ongoing consideration of how to market-rate housing itself with enough horse power in the department to participate in the discussion to do that. >> i had. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> one other question i guess secretary and director and fellow commissioners we have a very large project with less affordability you know the last time having the same discussion i'll ask we consider with the project sponsor on scheduling the dated close this discussion to apply those same things or we'll be here again next week.

>> doesn't make sense we'll have the exact same discussion and proposed to have it but given what we're doing with this project i ask we work with that project sponsor to determine a more appropriate date and i'll certainly i'll commit to doing i mean, if you choose to continue if you'll make that decision next week. >> commissioners actually sorry to interrupt we are taking this project now the other project is not on the agenda thank you. >> thank you i'm sorry at the risk of i'll say i will make sure i relied this information. >> thank you. >> okay commissioner antonini. >> and each project has to be evaluated on its own merits and we have a week to take a look at

upcoming projects important and certainly just because this one is continued didn't mean others projects will have to be continued the issues are different for each project and that's what worries me a little bit i'm able to work with those people that be are in opposition and trying to craft it to be more appealing i don't want to create an inclusionary type of district down there only letting in certainly projects and have a bunch of requirements that's not the way to do business we have to be reasonable and what is approved and not approved a cultural district has to do with with the culture and all the things are fine but didn't mean that inclusive executive of others

cultures i want to make sure just to be clear and anything is promoting what it means to promote not at the expense of other justified use or groups or residents. >> commissioner moore. >> and your obligation to treat out loud projects and applicants fair and do look at the projects as apples to apples rather than apples and potatoes. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further, we'll move on to there is a motion that has been seconded to continue to september 22nd with direction from the commission on that motion commissioner antonini no 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 antonini voting against. >> commissioner will take a very short break >>[gavel] >> >>[gavel]

>> good evening and welcome back to the san francisco planning commission for august 4, 2016 before we get into our normal course of business i been advised by staff there's a request and agreement for continuance under your discretionary review: the lord for item 16. if you don't mind to the joe we can take that matter out of order and continue it out for item 16. this is for the tower. sorry. the proposed continuance dated two november 3. we should take public comment on that. >> any public comment on item number 16 >> >> if you're in agreement there's no need to comment. >> the condition of approval

requires the condition of the supplemental landscaping plan. >> could the speaker speak into the microphone? >> the reason it's coming back it was a read condition for approval or landscaping to be performed after the original action was taken and so obviously this action of continuance would push it out the on the 18 month requirement but as long as you are aware of that and they are working towards that goal i think we can - >> back and made be made in a motion, correct? >> it's really an acknowledgment. >> okay, great. any public comment on the matter? public comment is closed. commissioner wu >> move to continue item 16 to november 3. >> on a motion thank to continue item 16, november 3 antonini aye hillis aye moore aye wu aye richards aye fong

aye that motion passes unanimously 6-0. commissioners that are places back on your rent or calendar for item 12 in case number 2014 2015 polk st. this is a conditional use authorization. >> good evening president fong and members of the commission should probably go planning department staff. the item before you is a request for conditional use authorization to allow the demolition of a single-family home at 2015 polk st. located with the are one zoning district and 40 x height and bulk this budget proposes demolition of one-story single-family home and construction of a three-story of the garage three unit residential building with for our street parking spaces three class i bicycle parking space. the project is not seeking exceptions or variances from the planning code. this budget

includes two two-bedroom units and one one-bedroom unit. unit two includes removable partitions for a flexible space within the living sacred, and usable open spaces provide a nutshell with deck in the rear yard setback. to date the department has received two letters in support of the project from adjacent property owners. one letter which stated concerns about construction related disruption and three letters from neighboring residents along chestnut concerned about the height of the building and the modern building was not compatible with the surrounding context. the department has also received a call from the person currently living at the property illegally does not support the evolution of the existing structure. in response to the feedback on the project the sponsor has incorporated the following changes. this dip in house has been removed and the stairs from the third story to the roof deck are open to

the sky good roof deck has been set back from the southern and eastern property polylines reduced from 90 3 ft.2 to five 93 ft.2. the carpet has been replete replaced by the southern part of the roof deck and removed from a portion of the northern property line altogether. as provided the revised third floor and will plant elevations in section for your review as well stop public comment we received after the these packets were published. the department recommends approval with conditions and believe the project is necessary and desirable for the following reasons. the project will result in a net gain of two dwelling units. will create three dwelling units to which our family sized two bedroom units. the project will replace a blighted residential structure with a three unit building consistent with neighborhood character. his concludes my presentation and am happy to answer any questions. >> thank you. project sponsor, please. >> good evening president fong and towns commissioners. my name is maurice lamotta project architected for this project.

as carly outland, were posted amongst existing one-story single-family residence and replace it with a new three-story residential building containing three dwelling units. the property fell into disrepair long before a klein bottle it in 2013. i have an image it on the right-hand screen here. we had a status report prepared for the property and was found the existing building was not built to minimum code standards and are riddled with mold and water damage. all plumbing electrical and mechanical systems need to be replaced. there's also evidence poorly executed structural work is been completed without permits. in prior years the existing building was home to squatters and a source of multiple nuisance complaints. without doubt the existing building is unsafe and uninhabitable and not contribute to the housing stock. our proposed project is a three stories and three dwelling units with deck and basement parking for four cars.

unit number one contains one-bedroom and approximately nine 66 ft.2. unit number two contains two bedrooms plus actual spacing to be used as a third bedroom and approximately 1473 square feet. unit three is a two-bedroom and will be occupied by our clients and that is approximately 1363 ft.2. units two and three will be for families. talk a little bit about the building design. the design of the building sex abounds between modern and traditional. the composition form and materials of the front façade is traditional but designed in a clean modern way. the line & of the building cornice is consistent with that of the neighboring buildings. the repeating bay windows and insect front entry are characteristic of the neighborhood. window and glazing at the street level

provide pleasant open connection of the building to the street. traditional exterior finishes of stucco, stained wood and siding at warmth and texture. a little bit about the roof deck. since our initial project submittal to the planning commission we worked with our neighbor to the south to reduce the massing of the penthouse and open the views over the roof deck. we replaced the solid up with carpet with glass contrails keeping up with parapet only at the east end and maintain the building cornice is good at the front façade. the front façade itself is only affected by the changes that the roof deck. we've also reduce the size of the roof and house by laminating the closed air component and keeping only the elevator and vestibule. our clients have a family member can find in a wheelchair and also plan their retirement years here so the elevator to the rooftop is necessity. in

summary our project is a positive contribution to the neighborhood that provides much needed housing and replaces an eyesore. thank you for your time and your consideration. >> okay open up to public comment. >>[calling public comment cards] >> this is united states constitution ccp 630. hold on. okay. united states constitution

1862. [inaudible] declaration. this is the papers i submitted on june 21, 2013. while i was working in the place, i was on the tower roof cleaning and i was cleaning up in the place they locked me out. as you can see, the picture, they left me out. i could not come out for two days did i was freaking out. i had to climb up on the roof. on my right side. i was very scared to sleep who committed

this crime without letting me knowing what's going on. because [inaudible] and the guardian of the 2015. this is a landmark history. so i reserve my rights to keep the property and [inaudible] to [inaudible] because one of the instruments that i saw-okay. one of these >> overhead, please.

>> put it down and sfgov tv will show it. there you go. >> what it says, there were i guess [inaudible] with the fireplaces. [inaudible] because i am >> thank you, sir your time is up with the commissioners may have time for you later. >> this is the evidence. >> thank you. >> my mom. the documents belong to one of the place.

>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> date scared me. your time is up. next speaker. please have a seat, thank you. >> thank you. go ahead and start speaking. >> good evening my name is [inaudible] my apologies for speaking so budget on behalf of my self and a couple other adjacent neighbors were pleased to hear this is for read on. after reviewing the updated plans we can't help but still identify major issues with the design which may lead to yet another series of problems. here are thoughts and concerns based on my architects imported the world building i does not conform to the block in which the properties located for the residential design guidelines. was the buildings are two stories and noticeably blue the

40 foot height limit. the way the plans are drawn will appear intrusive to the casual pedestrian. for any neighbors across the street the impact will be far greater and dark light and air factors to consider. the height can be reduced based on the stock to get bite of the basement greed garage seems excessive. [inaudible] is pushing the entire building higher than it needs to be. three parking stalls is the right fit without car stackers [inaudible] accommodate more cars versus having car stackers and higher ceiling. matching city traffic [inaudible] to their product also the car stackers can be placed into a pit instead of going up. also the ceiling height structure seems access. 9-9 .5 seems access did the first floor unit is about the sidewalk toward accessibility

problem. anyway joe user would've to travel the basement use the car elevator and exit the garage door to the sidewalk. the elevator can be reduced by limiting the rooftop that vestibule. also block several neighbors during the hours as of yet this seems like a luxury as opposed to designing a project appealing to the neighborhood. and elevator pails would not be necessary. is it necessary to 11 elevator to the roof? [inaudible] this equipment by sb located in the rear yard created by the unit. [inaudible] also controlled by the building code. it's possible move the units from the property line along with the screen to further limit the overall height of the limit use instead of rated parapet walls. these are design issues to which to adjust the view.

[inaudible] directly to the north and south. most buildings on the street are 2-3 units. the block looks uniform. it will not look informing. this problem could be solved. the design of the exterior is extremely modern. nothing on the block or neighborhood comes into compassionate the beauty of this is classic architecture. yes this is a new building but there's plenty buildings built to conform better neighborhoods located it is a look that way] we have the planning commission take these points into consideration. to appease the neighborhood as all. is there any additional public comment? >> mine is vincent-we i represent an owner. my client who is developing the property next door. i will would like to make public comment i thought i would say the word that we work closely and analyze the plans

of the project sponsor carefully. we think it's very minimal >> i'm sorry if you're part of the project team your opportunity >> we are not. we are next-door >> i'm sorry >> so i thought it was appropriate to say or. we've had collaboration in the past few weeks in altering the design, minimizing the roof. overall, we think project is a very good addition to the block. it seems to be also conforming with the general prime directive with the planning department and housing and i think the collaboration we've had with them in their design and theirs and ours is an exemplary collaboration between ebbers. there are or will be four-story buildings in our oh on that corner. it seems like amassing is appropriate in our view. i also want to say one more thing. the penthouse on the roof was just recently

minimized and what is left is necessary for mobility reasons. the client is of an advanced age. thank you. thank you. sir, you probably spoken one time. were only allowed to want person speak one time per item. next speaker, please. >> good evening commissioners. chris shulman am speaking on behalf of-middle. i'll be very very brief. after weaver childcare reason. he wanted me to convey to you that he is in favor of the project but wanted to convey that he would be in favor of one to one parking it is not in favor of the additional parking space. thank you commissioners and i know you have a long night. >> any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner moore >> this particular project was

already brought to supervisor choose attention many many years ago. a project of intentional neglect which has been standing there in a very nice neighborhood and nobody knew what was going to happen. i'm glad to see it come forward as a new project. but i have a couple of comments. i believe that car stackers are pushing the height of the wrong ground floor to height in the transit corridor literally every possible mode of transit is available in short walking distance. this project should not have car stackers and fewer parking spaces. number two, three unit building does not need an elevator. a three unit building will, i see what looks like a residential rather than the handicapped accessible elevator does not speak to been designed for handicapped access

and plans for each floor not properly done mentioned in any form or shape make me look at this as a standard residential units layout with no provision really for what is claimed to be handicapped. so we don't need an elevator. that's a luxury which adds an elevator penthouse in a situation that is not necessary. not necessarily desirable. specific, on floor three, that is drawing number 2.03, the terrace that is suggested in the rear of the unit three, on the west side, there should-on the north side, should cut back because standing at the edge of the terrace as design, which goes to the property line, you have the ability to look into the light well of the adjoining property and undesirable condition besides noise and

other interference. second point, while i appreciate the roof deck having been redesigned with a stare penthouse being taken off i'm looking for the elevator as a non-handicapped elevator being a residential elevator to be not part of the project i like to suggest that we are taking the roof deck further away on the building edge to the west and bringing it in line with the external wall where the elevator was. on the north side, i would suggest because of the proximity again to the light well, we are cutting the roof deck back another 3 feet in order to allow a still very

large roof deck to offer the acoustic and visual privacy that we normally encourage for roof deck. particularly, in an area region not have excessive amounts of roof deck. those would be my comments. architecturally, i think this building will necessarily with its modern look exactly in the spirit of what is adjoining here. but, i will let commissioner antonini comments glass strong feelings about this. >> commissioner antonini thank you commissioner moore. i will agree. i think probably getting rid of the staggered having once one parking which i think is fine. it might allow a little bit of making a height of little bit less [inaudible] >> public comment is closed. >> [inaudible]

>> currently you are out of order. if the commissioners have questions they will call you up. >> [inaudible] >> so, if that does allow a little bit of less height not that the height is excessive, but it might make it fit in a little better. if we are able to get rid of the stackers we would be will to diminish the height of little bit on the ground floor. then, the other things i don't like on the design it does not fit in with the rest of the neighborhood. the qantas is not strong enough. every single house has a very strong cornice wide cornice. they all have vertical elements. now, we don't need a copy of these but we certainly can skillfully find something to put in to create a vertical below the curtis, which is something that all the other places have it of various

shapes or various lengths. the windows themselves i think need to be a little bit more traditional. when the french windows or something that looks a little bit like it belongs there. too much glazing. not enough non-glazed areas. some moldings around the sides of the windows, the shape of the base is probably okay. i would like to maybe see a little more traditional shaped bay but if you could make the windows look like every other window in the neighborhood, then i've seen a lot of buildings that are contemporary that have b built that are contextual but obviously, the buildings that were built in the 21st century. i think we need to move more in that direction. as far as the elevator, i'm not sure it's a necessity either. i mean, i would hope that we could-uni
