required to rezone them the two main difference are fir nct don't have density limits that are determined by lot area a dwelling unit density units of one per 4 hundred square feet the density in the nct by how large the building the be height and bulk and other exposures and open space speaks waldo called formed based density and two the nct don't have minimum parking requirement the upper market nnth district one parking space for every dwelling unit and the nct didn't allow a half a space and .75 so for every dwelling unit with conditional use authorization did tell the court be height and bulk limitations rear yard requirement and maximum non-residential and hours of operation and floor

ratios will not be alternated by the ordinance and eligible for the height for ground floor commercial as a standard in the nct sdrints the allowable commercial use will remain the same after publication of the staff report with the help felt neighborhood association found a fix of those i have those jonas if you wouldn't mind psa them out basically, it will subject the proposed zoned nct to the market octavia planned area development impact fees and the affordable housing fees so it in nodding the board passed an ordinance sponsored that subjected those parcels to the market street impact fees, however, with the 2003 rezoning that was not updated to reflect the rezoning of those property the two property are zoned today are subject to the market

octavia impact fees but not the other properties on the block the texts will correct this in the upper market nct to the market octavia impact fees even if their outside of the market octavia planned area so staff new recommendation for approval with modifications and i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you. >> commissioner moore. >> public first have a comment. >> any public comment on this item? not seeing any, commissioner moore. >> this was discussed along a long time ago i'm very secretary glad you amended 2 you read into the record i'm in full support at a time the form basis was very, very deliberately made and move to approve with modifications. >> second. >> thank you, commissioners

arcadia named coin game room is seeking to allocating on forest street for the light industrial the regulations will not allow the arcadia to open as a use it prohibited in the zoning and let april continue thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm april from supervisor kim's office and here to speak about this piece of legislation and ask for your support with some modifications we were approached by business that was interested in being locked in our district is arcade games in 1992 the police code prohibited this in san francisco

and our current zoning and allow the arcade not permitted in some districts he previously amendments to the planning code that allows the arcade i believe in the upper market and the hate street commercial district and this legislation before you will allow arcade games in particular district and in this case the legislation was introduced in the south of market and had in the broader eastern neighborhoods but i have received calls from some community members in the south of market that were concerned about the broad change and a desire to have more community process as it relate to oar can do games allowed in the south of market and i imagine the eastern neighborhoods as a hole i

presented and small business commission therapy in support of this legislation is it so really our attempt to support small businesses or a small business and also address something i think that has been a hold over from times past but i definitely want to expect that each neighborhood has a community process and this definition should be changed if desired ti at a citywide level perhaps the goals 7 and 8 reorganization a full discussion about this but as a relatives to this particular business and that particular location what i suggest as an amendment to limit this permitted use in service light industrial that will allow the business that is interested in moving forward it's appropriate, it's currently an entertainment a night life use

and a precedent with the western soma present south of harrison and that falls south of harrison arcade use associated with a bar so that's what i would suggest as a way to move forward that supports the businesses that is interested in the change and also replacements the community process and desire to have more input open that which was. >> thank you. we may have questions mr. starr do you want to conclude. >> yeah. i'll conclude the rest of my presentation was an staffs recommendation given the narrowing scope of the ordinance i'll say this department recommend approval as amended thank you. >> thank you. >> opening it up for public comme

and the arcade games what happened you can only have 10 or less machines that will change to have as many as you want they're small times i'd like if you support this legislation. >> okay. thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is jeffrey the past chair the south beach citizens advisory may be one of i i doubt any of you were on the committee when sue - i worked for 10 years on the eastern neighborhood of my countless hours and thousand of meetings we carve outed this with a broad brush you'll allow in the south of market with absolutely no community input whatsoever south

park we'll fight in legislation tooth and nail it you want to know what that means ask larry bear the vice president of the giant how much it cost him to build his ball park they tried to do the same thing without community input you guys owe to us a resident and stakeholder and business owners to open this up to community involvement brother you pass it a lot along we can work you, you. >> cac was one of the most pro-active cacs in the city lou gehrig's disease for businesses appropriating located this is not the kind of legislation that had been blind-sided an affront to every resident in san francisco that has within through planning in the last 20 years i suggest what you do i take this off our calendar today

and call for community hearing we have the south beach rincon and director rahaim you know that i'm completely blown away that is ram rotted down our throat i ask for a continuance thank you. >> i'm one the own and operate to start of i'm a little bit shocked to hear the gentleman before me with all due respect from the entertainment commission we've had things in our doors part of neighborhood i'd like to hear from him that we're working with the neighborhood as well much like an conversation moving forward not necessarily on the back

docket with that said, i want to share some thoughts on the proposal of arcade you know we are more is a see a restaurant bar we are using the arcade as an accessory to our use and i want to go over the evolution is it so not a common word but a trendy thing across the city across the country so arcades we remember the renewed interest has to do with with in a staflg - that kind of things that make it market for generations your

generational gap and we looked at the south of market is the reason to be looked at how it is becoming the kind of entertainment the airport and there's a bowling alley and ping-pong bar in the neighborhood we offer is entertainment that is a lot more affordable you're going to certain places and spending $0.60 of combined entertainment and with that said, there's almost a necessity in the neighborhood because of the generation wide that the south of market has and home to some of the biggest companies in america electronic arts and others i believe that's it sony

we nevertheless, feel we fit the neighborhood and any concerns we are open to hearing that we're really not ram rhodes the issue i disagree and thank you for your time. >> thank you >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners i worked in arcades for 3 years within that time i witnessed arcades bring a positive vibe in a sense of belonging community to an establishment a place where neighborhood businesses come after work and grab something to eat and enjoy themselves people discuss business and meet new friend a place anyone can be themselves and have a great time it is positive for everything i've seen in the neighborhoods i've worked in i feel on the

game room in the corridor will brighten the plain clothes with a dynamic of entertainment a necessity as a subway with the trolley to mission bay area and thank you for your time. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners thanks for taking the time i'm joseph and i'm the head of arcade operations for coin up gave himer a little bit about me i grew up in san francisco born and raised third-generation was all around the development of the ball park i worked for a major plumbing company in san francisco at the time and saw growing up who it was about what everything was going on in the downtown in the

soma, etc. one thing i take from myself of myself is the diversity going to grammar school and going to high school that was one thing that san francisco always spoke to me was the different cultures different you know ideas and the arcade scene for me is really the basis of bringing multiple generations together in our sacramento location one thing i see day to day i will see customers that are say middle-aged and placing a game and next to them 20 somethings they're a playing pinball for

t the same time i see the conversations between the generations of people that's the diversity i see us bringing to gave himer in the soma district that is really a positive influence what we bring to the area so thank you for your time. >> hi commissioners my name is ken one of the 4 owners that own the building that coin up 19is going on into i other people a small business owner and have a stake in four rauntsd in san francisco and one in oakland i'll say this from a landlords perspective we interviewed a lot of tenants and we wereing i

intrigued they presented an interesting business plan we visited a bunch a food operations that wanted to do deliveries in the city backed by capita lifts but we poke to the we were impressed with the arcade restaurant bar that plays out in the context of our neighborhood but talking to people that been to the location in san diego and out in sacramento we were impressed how well, they computed their business and the types of investors to have their businesses in san francisco this in conjunction with any general knowledge how business is conducted in the city. >> what appeals to certain neighborhood was very much in support of approving how o how these guys open up their business and looking at their

construction as they've been you know rolling out things in the past couple of months impressed with the quality of detail and the profit to the space i'm very much in support of these guys and hope you guys are too. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon my name is a peter i'm the assistant general manager of coin up sacramento through my time being there i've seen first hand how our concept is a designation downtown on cat street not gentrified we're bringing people to us who are more than likely not becoming downtown we're getting state capital workers, local business

employees with the arena coming in downtown we're at the forefront of bringing all that new people can new money downtown one of my favorite things about coin up likely said misrepresent generational people are 75 and people 21 everything about coin up is amazing one of my favorite places when i'm at work not at work we worked in contact with the downtown partnering and the sacramento police department we've tried to make downtown a safer place a know our limit program where the police come in and talk to people having a couple of drinks to see where they're at yeah. i hope you guys approve coin opt san

francisco thank you very much. >> hi commissioners i'm a local binder in san francisco for 10 years from the sacramento area how i got involved i was back home and - went down to the coin opted opt and had a blast and it is amazing how to say changing everything and bringing people downtown to the area kind of the same thing whether the bartender i worked additionally we went to the giant games and hang out after we were walking home not the nicest of areas and it will be a great asset to the city and bring in a lot of revenue and people i've seen businessmen in

sacramento playing street games with a construction worker and seeing how everybody gets along the vibe inside of bar people are not sitting at a bar but walking around and meeting people and it is just a different vibe it is awesome i hope you approve this. >> good afternoon. my name is she low parrot of opening staff in coin opt sxooment i noticed how much so forthtion of the community we need to create community and part of my personal experience of being a queer and growing up a lack of social spaces to have people engage in my community is

placard by substance abuse but adults can come together and gave me sober there is no pressure to drink no pressure to do things that young 20 something years old do it is a way to interact with each other this spot will be incredibly an important space especially in the area and provide a physical space for people to build community it is a place where people flourish and take care of themselves and provide an alternative space we don't necessarily have i'm excited to have the community to have a stronger community and this space will a great place for

that thank you. >> thank you. >> my name is grazie came here to speak i live on the east bay this is a nice place for people to come over and experience something in the city and have somewhere to go to doesn't put pressure but introduces you to a new community i never came in 9 fillmore but now i've been introduced to marlow and other places in the community and people in the community and i think that will be a really good benefit to have to have a place in that area thank you. >> hi there

my name is staffing on a resident of san francisco i used to live in san diego and know the owners of coin opt coin up of opt arcade will be a place where people in braurgsdz come together in sloorld and there's a class in san francisco and that place can mend that divide one of the purposes in arcade to bring people together for joy and that creates a higher vibration and people operating on a higher vibration this will create a happier san francisco thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is pauline i've been in the industry for quite a while one of the biggest things we bartenders provide you with a

wonderful experience and have found in that experience in coin opt we get to open it we'll bring a lot of communities together and destress and get you, your farther drink and play whatever game you like to do that's wonderful i hope you guys approve it thank you for your time. >> okay is there any additional public comment? >> okay not seeing any, public comment is closed. and opening that to commissioners, if i may start april thank you for coming and sort of breaking and entering break it is down to specific locates he personally ran an arcade at fisherman's wharf and had control of '75 games knew how to fix them and unjam coin

slots and pack man and frond but the point is i agree with some of the speakers that that brings people together and you can be playing or against maybe an enemy or acre enemy but for that moment brought enjoyment to folks a good thing i'll be supportive of the change to approve this specifically for this location to the opposition i agree this shunt shouldn't be approved to the district this is not what we're intending but this participate operation i think is fine commissioner moore. >> i he'll appreciate you're talking about your past i was asking you to - i grew up. >> i'll community-based there hopefully. >> i grew up watching other

people being very funny about using those machines it is a great story in the technical 21st century things are coming back and offering something else i'm interested in reading the description about the recurrent and i think site specific consideration that is the project mentions by the supervisor i will consider it i will agree with you that's where i think the supporters are not aware what is in front of the commission is the support for your site specific approval wrapped up in a much, much broader form of legislative amendments that effect people that have not been asked it is in that particular area particularly this commission and the neighbors that will be engaged are looking at rewriting

of article 7 and 8 the redefinition of particular uses and how we're starting to use and streamline our code to agree with the eloquent summary of commissioner president fong i'll support this with a much narrower and site purpose for 508, fourth street but that's as far as i support it so the supervisors recommendations will guide any recommendation for the proposal. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> i guess a question for mr. starr can we go ahead and narrow this to this parcel. >> uh-huh. >> no, no not just the parcel but the item. >> how many parcels will the district cover. >> that's the broader brush i'm hearing. >> i don't know commissioner i

don't think that is a lapsing district anymore. >> okay i guess the gentleman from south park rincon can you come up. >> so if we narrowed it to the s l i how about that. >> i'm troubled by the s l i and the central soma bryant street is s l i zoned i believe that bryant street are bodies s l i zoned it is troubling if you use that as your basis i'll not be opposed to the location did location 19is appropriate for the proposed arcade but if you use that broad-brush and say this is an approved use without

cu that makes it troubling if you understood - but make it a s l i and in an inappropriate location we can participate best to have that interaction with the neighborhoods you get the input from the people and the businesses people that are directly impacted known is against entertainment we have a 42 thousand entertainment the ball park in the nation but that of those because we finally got the giant to concede and able to work with them in that manner so - >> okay. a question for the city attorney if we tried to narrow it beyond the s l i zoning to just a parcel how

about. >> deputy city attorney mirena burns. the question so i understand that rather than have this be a zoning map amendment for the - and the s l i. >> you would make to this particular parcel. >> yeah. and in the public process to engage with the public and expand beyond the parcel to the s l i and other zoning districts. >> i'm sorry. >> to have the department to have a public process to expand beyond this parcel to the s l i when engaged in the be neighborhood. >> if i can interject with the conditional use authorization to allow more thorough review of those projects 0 sethey come up from the future to do just a project specific to allow this

use you'd need an sud this is a map amendment you couldn't do that. >> i'll support rezoning with the cu with the future projects. >> commissioner moore. >> i'd like to see a border definition i'd like here to look at the second look the s l i and the western edition task force that spent decades on carefully working without and the land use that few of us understand the great deferred i don't want us to be too broad but i believe i'd like the supervisor to listen to what we're saying and follow-up individual decisions but leave it basically with a

focus on the property in question and it will be someone expertise to do it in a manner that is expedite and supportive of a small business and in principle we're supportive that's the use on that side being an arcade. >> okay commissioner hillis. >> so i want to clarify we're recommending you know making recommendations to the board who ultimately have to make this change to the code i'm a little bit - certainly those - i mean those ordinances were put in place place in arcade we don't have whatever issues there were spur putting the limited in and i'm

hesitant to say you have to come back for an arcade with a cu when no really anything that troubles me about an arcade i suggest we recommend approval as april pointed out with the modifications and s l i but encourage the board to limit this further or look at the cu and go out and talk with the impacted neighbors so we may not be thinking of all them that's all i move to recommend approval as proposed by supervisor kim's office but encourage them to consider a further limits to geogratefully or by the zoning code or in the future. >> second. >> commissioner johnson.

>> i seconded the motion but highlight commissioner hillis we had that hearing being the arcades in another district the hate and spent a lot of time about the police code and how to be for amazement arcade uses like this i think that one was slightly different on the second story an additional element but the same i read this case i don't see the policy i understand there was a lot of - work on the eastern neighborhoods but in terms of the policy reasons to say additional scrutiny on that type of project i'm not seeing it i'll second the motion to encourage the board to see if we have blind spots but not in favor by this - so with that said the only other thing in the question maybe the city attorney

if this legislation were passed with a cu may be added as the type of approval later on does that mean that has to come for that approval. >> deputy city attorney mirena burns. yeah, you don't have this specific project only the planning code from the legislation requires a conditional use authorization in order to do this type of use you'll see that application in front of you with future arcade. >> right now the legislation is permitted so they'll go through to get a building permit again, i second the motion but strongly encourage from the supervisors want a cu to look at that and make sure the scrutiny is here i don't see it maybe there are blind spots.

>> commissioner vice president richards. >> i really want to support this legislation, however, i agree with commissioner moore i'd like to support it if this business for all the reasons that everybody said, however, i don't know how many parcels are covered from the s l ii heard this side of bryant tan deposit and that side of bryant tan daughter-in-law i'll vote no. >> i want to ask the supervisors representative to perhaps ask you please answer a question for me i've very much perceptive the author back and forth the commission and very much interested to see the last points by commissioner hillis and commissioner johnson being a guide double we're addressing the concerns for the supervisors that the people are looking at land use. >> i appreciate you all trying

to balance the neighborhood process and also support for business and we're also trying to balance this too so i think what i would ask is to narrow the geographic area for permitting arcade to s l i and zoning in particular is going through its own process because s l i is part of the central soma plan only and not beyond that there will be an additional process for s l i zoning i've taken sxhifksz recommendation around the cu but will appreciate the ability for me to talk with the neighbors and the business to talk about what the best way to move forward on whatever to apply a cu in this case but would ask that we

have time to kind of work that through so basically i'll asking for you to support this legislation to permit arcade in s ii and have that conversations with the neighbors and businesses. >> okay. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> one point i'd like to make in the western selma a bar called the organizational. >> i can't hear you. >> a western barn called the echo electronic device more s l i than you think i'll hearing a no. >> oh, sally s a l i. >> supervisor continues to the

neighborhood outreach i can support this great. >> okay jonas. >> commissioner moore sorry. >> wouldn't the motion be there is an intent because what is in front of us. >> it is just a recommendation. >> just a recommendation thank you for commissioner hillis. >> okay. thank you. >> very good commissioners there is a motion that has been seconded to adopt a recommendations for approval of this legislation as it has been amended by the supervisors office restricting the s l i zoning. >> commissioner hillis. >> commissioner johnson commissioner koppel commissioner melgar commissioner moore commissioner vice president richards commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero commissioners that places us on item 14 cap street conditional

use authorization. >> okay one moment. >> okay. >> thank you. >> good afternoon planning commission chris planning department staff and welcome the two commissioners the item before you a continual use authorization for the proposed demolition of an existing single-family dwelling with detached building to the rear and the construction of a new 4 story 78 hundred square feet residential with 4 dwelling units pursuant to the planning code section an application for a permit that has a loss of one or more units for a cu application and shall be subject to that authorization on the west side of cap street between 24th street on a 25 wide lot the parcel is central locate

bedroom and 3, three bedrooms with private decks and a shared roof deck all over it is contemporary in design and includes horizontal wood siding and a natural limestone base with regards to the public comment no public comment to date and i'll go through 9 important characteristics first, the project is consistent with the zoning district no density limit rather the density is regulated by the property development standards and the residential design guidelines this district is intended to accommodate a greater density whereas the current lot has a single single-family dwelling four unit with 14 hundred square feet and two, three bedroom and

2, three bedrooms compatible with the neighborhood and contribute to the mid block open space and 40 no tenants are are displaced as a result before i clouk the presentation we want to read into the record a minor slight revisions on page 5 condition item section 7 i'll hand out now. >> this is the findings that addresses where the project removed the units the handful is passed out now the findings currently reads no rent-controlled units will be removed and not subject to the arbitration the finding shall read the single-family dwellings are vacant and the platt cannot define it is to the arbitration

ordinance the adapt department can confirm no tenants are living in the dwelling that concludes my presentation. i'm available to answer any questions. >> thank you project sponsor please. >> hi, i'm speaking on behalf of the project sponsor who is stuck in traffic i come to speech in support my name is a john strickland i own the property next door and meeting met numerous times i asked him to shave back his building he did so but i'm not the sponsor only he's in the car i guess he called me. >> all right. any other speakers i'm sorry opening up for public comment i have one card felix flores.

>> felix flores okay. >> good afternoon. my name is felix flolz going to speak in behalf of the church, i used to be is that 856 and 854 cap street that 854 is the backhouse of church i would like you to have a consideration of that property that belongs to our church and all the church in the neighborhood the president to demolish you know but want to start by the 854 property but that's the half of the

church. >> that's all. >> okay. thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> open this item. >> not seeing any, public comment is closed. and commissioner vice president richards. >> i guess here we find ourselves not really completely understanding where our dwelling unit or dwelling units we see a shed in the back up the street from me a project that was submitted inside that a dwelling unit and the project went to the braid that was appealed overturning our decision in a single-family home there was a - i find it hard to believe that nobody has done a visible inspection of the property without the rent board telling me whether it is a - i

think this commission will do us a favor to ask the rent board to ask whether or not the dwelling units are rent-controlled we shouldn't be playing the victim card we need more information. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you to sxhifksz comment and globally i agree with you but we have seen the rent board come to the planning commission and try to explain their process and it is so convolute i don't know how they do it is in a straightforward thing to determine whether or not something is rent-controlled it is easier whether which there are tenant to look at some sort of history with that said, lo although i'm frustrated not having the answer he weigh that against the projects to be

considered here and the other policy objectives that may help us i think having 4 unit rather than one there may be some discussions go about it's relationship to the church next door and enough of a policy consideration to not holed up the project to have that answer especially i don't know if we continued or pushed the rent board to provide us more information we'll get anything clarifying. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> i i guess i'll ask staff and maybe the director what happened on the san bruno we were overturned 11 zero what information came out we didn't see i'd like to understand that are we facing the same thing here could we be. >> so commission based on my understanding there was confusion about the unauthorized dwelling unit so is relative to the approval that was provided

the commission so there was kind of a back and forth on whether or not the unit which was separated by or the area was separated by a wall and a gap between what we consider a structure or 2 structure and whether or not that was occupying a separate structure as opposed to a continuous structure. >> seems like sheds are not what their labeled if you were up to me a person was living there it was like the shed got demolished so without a visible inspection i'll zero on this yeah, we'll get 4 unit and 14 hundred a square foot a starter home so i can't support this

absolutely not. >> commissioner hillis. >> one of the how did will - i don't think we're saving an affordable home we have a look at this rent control gentrification which we talk about a lot so i think there are two ways to go seems by looking at the pictures and the google maps this is a single-family home we asking can ask the staff to look at this and determine there is not a home in the back i don't know from the project sponsor. >> didn't look like the project sponsor is here. >> and go get an opinion from the rent board this is a single-family home and not subject to rent control. >> they're able to seek that if we want to. >> i posed the same question to the project sponsor in the process and confirmed in writing

this is entirely vacant with no tenant and reinforced by the plan and from the building department. >> i guess to commissioner vice president richards someone could put a unit in the back in the by permit i don't care if it makes it rent control but i think the property owner can go to the rent board and see 24 the not subject to rent control. >> director ram. >> sorry commissioners, i wanted to remind you relate to the findings the rent control is only one of the criteria but not something you have to meet specifically a consideration relative to the longer list of criteria that we examined under residential demolition so not a yes or no question basically it is one of the many factors have you to consider and maybe in the

applications so - >> okay commissioner moore. >> the responsibility of having proper demolition o information weighs heavy on us every week people telling us we're acting on insufficient information not to get into the information about the demolition career we have the right to get someone to go to the site inside that is and look at it whether that has been i'd like as a living and correct your observation there are unusual places that are opted out from garages to others i think enough evidence we need clear support from the department to encourage us in a timely manner when it comes to us have the right to make the right decisions in support or in opposition that's not been done today and

commissioner moore. >> i'm sorry. >> commissioner melgar. >> go ahead so i release that are several criteria we should be looking at i support maximizing the density of this particular parcel i think you know in the neighborhood that spell needs housing i support that but it is he heart of you know neighborhood that is near and dear to my heart and whether or not it is occupied that's important i e-mailed this piper didn't give me a lot of confidence having set up a disk for a few years the issue of whether a little was opted out is not straightforward it means

we looked at utility bills and once we do it i feel confident i think all the other things that project brings are good things i'll support it but folks living there i don't want to make things worse. >> commissioner johnson. >> okay so i think i'm not going to make this motion i don't ago with that people need more time to go back all over the place get more information i'll say two things the first, we think to get more perspective 50 years from now those 3 unit will be hopefully, some form of rent control versus the one house and shed that may or may not be occupiable space that is right there right now that's right the perspective i try to have 50 years 3, two or three bedroom unit i think 4

that will be rent control or older housing stock i think the other thing i building in general so for those sort of things we need to not try to boil the ocean in terms of having our objective standards what we're consider the proper amount of information to support those projects we've seen he can name two or three that are seared in any memory and outside the approximately may not be as a high priority a big deal we dug and dug and dug none seems to be able to be confident we had enough information particularly whether or not a unit is occupied and whether or not it should, rent stabilize fine if people want to go back with specific information to make people comfortable but not

an objective based on of evidence xyz we know one thing is on one side of line or the other we had those fwooment we ask people to stand isn't doorway and wait for someone to come home to an those cases i don't know if it is where we need to be as a planning commission. >> commissioner moore. >> i recall the department very constructively working with us in questionable situations i'll say exclusively no disappointment of myself sitting and making informed decisions i can rattle off a couple of addresses but 4 or 5 or 6 was indeed brought forwarded not because of departments short coming but taking a look all we're asking for taking into account a look the

gentrification of the site has 124i9s - it will be discussed in a supportive way i move to approve - to continue the projectile the missing information is substantiated and, of course, i'll ask that the issue about mechanical rooftop equipment further examined by the department no section into the package that shows you what that means. >> second. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> i'm not against gentrification by the way, it will not be rent-controlled it can't be retired after 1995 so 50 years will be different this is where the most displacement in the city in their 24th street and the quatro for no affordable

housing this is for something working with new construction and displace people in the neighborhood not to look at the local businesses they want to shop at this story repeats over and over should this house stand i don't know it might be better off as four units but not enough information given the information i ask this commission to please send a letter to the rent board telling them of our struggle and help us understand better, more information we have a more comfortable level of information. >> commissioners to respond to a couple of points part of issue we haveness a respondent basically the rent board can't defyly state if there's a

rent-controlled or make a determination or not so 411 unless the side of a tenant to confirm what the rent board is seeking in terms of that so - >> lastly at the board of supervisors the rent board said on tape i assume every unit is rent-controlled unless proven no otherwise proven we ask that be our guidance from, no on how much simpler they would assume this is rent-controlled. >> commissioner johnson that's my point i feel we have established the level of evidence that will make us feel

comfortable not clear to the tenant and oats rent board has limited tools to give us the facts and commissioner vice president richards you made my point if we assume something that rent-controlled units unless proven otherwise that is entered into any calculation of which a unit rent-controlled is one i'm saying there are other policy considerations for this project before us and other discussions to be had about the relationship to the building next to it aesthetics and r5069 equipment and other things to discuss i believe that delaying this project for more information that is about things that are unclear if we can't prove something it can t take 2 as a truth why not discuss that - the other merits of project. >> commissioner hillis. >> i mean, i'm supportive of a

continuance to get more information especially given what the board did a couple weeks ago as a rule about rent control are not as clear as we think and people add unit prior to 1979 and after 1979 if f there were a single-family home and you illegally added a shed didn't make it rent-controlled you can petition a rent board and get it is as is a single-family home not subject to rent control so sunk it is a complicated not very clear area and you add an aunt after 1979 into a single-family home you may be able to get the unit not rent control he suggest we continue to look at this for two weeks and have staff to look at evidence of a second unit and ask the rent board for

clarification but clearly agree single-family home i think that is definitive it is not. >> at issue the department can request information from the rent board but has to come from the applicant so the departments is limited in terms of its powers it has to be part of submission and commissioner johnson. >> so i think i want to make that time limit before i is that note trying to get into a back and forth i like working with you. >> me, too me, too. >> rent control as a policy and sort of legislative matter happened in 1979 if the units were under and another up to this time in the future maybe coming we looking at rent control from the units are there you have something to work with

with that said, i'd like to take a look at our future calendar i'll be a team player make a motion for a continuance. >> we have one. >> oh, was 2 seconded and october 13th. >> october 13th? >> shall i call the question? >> yeah. so - commissioner, i want to get clear direction on what staff needs to move forward with in terms of providing additional information to the commission i've heard a site visit if there are any evidence after a site dwelling unit and certainly advise the applicant keeping in mind if there's a respondent on the other end the rent board might not give back any type of resolution. >> from the project sponsor comes before us and provides

that information as part of the project wouldn't that be of benefit. >> the issue that the rent board might not give them angle affirmative unless a tenant or someone on the side to confirm research one way or another the rent board - >> i hope i want the rebld here this the quadrant a form based two unit one was built two r before 1979 it was rent-controlled. >> maybe have the rent board here maybe the rent board to have the changes. >> commissioner hillis. >> i mean more me all indications point this is a single-family residences if our code not zoned but in the database and looks like a

single-family residence i'll ask the department to inspect that to make sure this is not evidence of a second case we can handle that single-family residence is clear in the rebld they're not subject to rent control i'll be comfortable with that but evidence of a single-family residence we want to take to the next step to ask the rent board for a determination on what - >> commissioner moore. >> and want to remind you of my request for additional information on the design relative to a crossing cross section that is clearly indicated on drawings 8.2 what the equipment looks like in the section. >> commissioner to continue this matter until october 13th. >> commissioner hillis. >> commissioner johnson.

your son has been with the school going on 4 years i want to starter by saying what a unique school gotten bridges has the unique values to be creative and community oriented citizens i've seen my son grow in focus and values other people and the earth those are fundamental things and building that ass values are critical to san francisco in general it is a disservice to not raise up the standards the school has pan responsive in dooiks knowing both the community surrounding the farm i honestly feel the residents are lucky to have this school as a neighborhood rather than a developer or other school that doesn't hold the values

earlier this year we are evicted from our home in the go mission district and this is a difficult time we had a new baby it was difficult to leave the home we started our family and we feel we did a lot of soul searching and our sons with golden bridge support it critical i've had a lot of conversation with families didn't feel that san francisco doesn't love us but the generous it is a real ray of hope in the city if they can't find a permanent home our home here is in in question i hope you'll say this as part of the issue thank you. >> good afternoon,

commissioners my name is heather i'm here to voice my support for the proposal and so that a kindergartener at golden bridges we bike to the farm our family choose golden bridges because of it's dedication to social justice and the outdoor experiences before my son starting going to golden bridges we want to preschool in the mission everyday i felt sad dropping him off - sorry i was sad that he had to stay inside the whole time it is emotional sorry we come to love golden bridges our family is so them happier knowledge there because 83 he comes home from school and he

empties his pockets instead of focusing on star wars and other things his attention a captured by the way that a seed can't be grown into an apple it is not only unique because of it's focus on outdoor education. >> scenic so education and justice this is the only school i know of that parents and faculty come together and talk about making the school an anti racist school not just talk it is become a place we can openingly talk about race and economic diversity and to me that is important because i'm a mother of mixed race children and i like others hear that it is a from the school can't find

a home we'll face the decision whether or not we can stay in san francisco thank you. >> you're next. >> okay my name is john brown a husband of claire and i wanted to say that i wanted to talk about what it is that makes the education at the golden bridges the wall puts an emphasis on a beautiful place that feeds the child's natural creativity and deputies the. >> and nature we've seen how our son relatives to the open space on the street but the school needs a permanent home it needs to be a local one and which we and the other families

can cycle or walk to i remember with fondness of days we and other families spent clearing the trash from the land on coter street and the commitment of determination to work through tough stuff and creating a beautiful learning environment this is a viable long term use for the lands and something the community and neighbors can be proud of and provides affordable local education opportunities to help families live in this part of san francisco that's why i think you should approve the application thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is rita i'm a neighbor i am the treasurer of mission terrace improvement association and an retired kindergarten teacher from san francisco unified school district speaking against the project there are two background points

i'd like to make our neighborhood suffered collateral damage by the construction of interstate 280 and bart the sewer system was not properly engineered our neighbors have floodwater and sewage into as to their home secondly, the land on coter street is needed to mitigate the continuous flooding that exists on the lot because of if underground creek fast forward the structure by the project sponsor will add to the flooding problem more will think pouring into the sewers and less absorbed by the land little city gardens is a wonderful neighborhood their use of land absorbs the water we were so happy when little city gardens opened on coter street this long vacant lot was a place of beauty

and open space and spliegs at late the lot was as gem in the neighborhood the garden blending that harmoniously with the potential on the rise, however, the promise where is broken the process that was in place to stash and sustain this urban farm was swept aside i suggest you. come and visit the sites the scale is inappropriate to the neighborhood we need help to correct the sewer system and the land on coter to remain a farm we love the peace and sincerely resilient of the peace please help us keep the place liveable and peace physical. >> we'll offer some accommodations folks with let's go kids if you have little ones

if you want to come on up ahead of the line that would be great (calling names). >> how about i'm max speaking in support of school i'm born and raised and played hunger hippo at pier 39 i wanted to thank to the commission for hosting us today it is very comfortably to know there are systems and procedures in place for a school that needs to move forward and i

know there are a lot of emotions by great to have a great system a system to fulfill our collective focus on having good way to run this city and how the city will be for the next generation looking at the vision i pulled from the wednesday night making san francisco the world's this is from our website the most liveable vision i share it the introduction to the school i saw just now kind of aligns with that i'm in the sustainable food business i believe in sustainability and the importance of teaching that to say the next generation i use it every single day this is from winning bat out of hell delta berry to cherish what remains of the architecture and fosters it's renewable our hope important survival those are

tough words we're facing challenged as a community and it's important the next generation learns what we they need to wherever so how do we make san francisco the most liveable urban center how do we cherish the land and foster it's renewable everyone understand that green space and urban farmz is one method to doing that that is what is important about this school is brings that into the classmate how do we build that strong foundation working with the next generation. >> i'm sorry sir, your time is up. >> if you do run out of time you have something preempted written leave it on the railing. >> thank you very much. >> good afternoon. i'm margaret fox a parent of a new

second grader at the golden bridges speaking in support my family my mom from san francisco moved here two years ago in 2014 one week before public school began and looking at that vantage point i no idea how complicated 1, 2, 3, 4 school system we navigateed until we found out about golden bridges from the research it is one of two schools the other one in the richmond that is even marginally affordable outside of catholic schools question have a 3-year-old that will be joining us at golden bridges we're brand new to the schools brought a level of calm and comfort to our family a very open and welcoming

place and i think i'm a practical level so needed in the city so have a place for the candle stick park to go to school and have options thank you very much. >> hi, my name is wendy i'm a - live on cayuga directing around the chiropractor from the proposed development i'm speaking in opposition we want to say this project has high powder financial support question are small office spaces we have flooding was the inadequate sewage back up our homes are flooded with sewage a major health hazard and currently a latitude pending against the city of san francisco by neighborhoods residents because of the loss and gage of the inadequate

sewage system we face the rainy season with dread and sandbags around our property some people have inches and some feet of raw sewage that was a fema site with personal belongings lynn the street the puc natural management asset adding more people to the neighborhood flushing the toilets is not a good thing their rainwater system doesn't go help this will add add water for the flooding situation we face every rainy season i want to say we're not against schools my daughter attended an independent school this school has a lovely program

not about that but the development will be a disaster for the neighbors putting us in further risk of damage this any large development adds to our stress we have a lot to deal with i'm talking about sewage in our homes this will cause nor damage to our homes thank you. >> once you start speaking sfgovtv about turn that on. >> let's talk about flooding i live director across the street from this i've lived in san francisco since 1987 this development and rooted in a way to do good is the wrong idea for

this piece of land planning code section states that such feature as proposed will not be detrimental to the health or safety or a injures to property for those unfortunately living and working in the terrace this puts our health at realistic the pictures can you see those this is what happened in 2014 the picture on the left a picture taken of the lot in front of the 203 coter spewing fees the pictures on the right is the sewer blowing on the corner of san jose and the top picture it has mat people shifting through our blornz belongings. >> this next picture -

>> is actually our home our home received 2 feet of stormwater and sewage the plans on file address did two year rain event point out that mission terrace received two, 10 year storms and 5 every two the plans on file are inadequate to address climatic change will make that worse you have a study we believe the b mp uses invalid assumptions and last night we received for the fit new information from the puc and dpw we've not addressed or look at. >> thank you, ma'am, your time is up. >> thank you. >> thank you.

>> next speaker, please. >> hello thank you my name is rick on coter street director across the street from the farming yes might house was flooded during the storms in 2014 i'm here to talk about traffic and my concerns about the parking and traffic at the proposed project as it was add a substantial amount of traffic to cot era 1 way narrow street from san jose avenue down to alamany boulevard i have a slide here or an image if you want to turn on the overhead to show you the narrow street let's see here - >> all right. well okay. this is not doing an adequate job a 1 lane street with parking

on either side of the street and i think one of the concerns we have it makes this school location such a danger is the 200 accomplice students and participants and faculties that will be going down the street in an event of an emergency you know as we witnessed i've witnessed as a parent and students are dropped off they street no immediate parking they double park in the middle of the street blocking traffic with the hazard lights on where this becomes critical in the event of a fire, flooder earthquake or some disaster and the question if participants are coming to collect their children and no place to park and double park in the street with the hazard how are emergency vehicles to get to this location it is a critical concern so just something to

think about. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> hi my name is keri lived in san francisco for 23 requesters and moved to mission terrace in early 2011 my home as well as has flooded this is a diverse group of people diverse languages and seniors and surprising a large number of educators and hard working people part of what made this neighborhood great has been to the 3203 coter street and bauptd our neighborhood together give extra vegetations and flowers to the neighborhood and put on poetry reading and have a gathering place for neighbors

they really are the heart of the neighborhood we have had 8 hundred and 29 petitions that oppose the development and trying to preserve the open space for golden bridges a number of their letters actually are from not they say they're from san francisco residents but actually from places outside of san francisco outside of bay area outside of california we found one from australia so the people in san francisco that are 0 supportive you need to understand from the beginning when this was proposed we were told it would be a small school a handful of people working in conjunction and we were in support of that but every turn it has the defied the scope i know i'm being cut off i implore the commission to listen to the people that live in mission

terrace and impacted by the real concerns so for our homes please do right by your neighborhood preserve your shrinking open spaces and preserve the open spaces to make this city great i appreciate thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> thanks for letting me jump the line i'm an excelsior resident a parents of 2 eventually 3 kids my family lives 3 blocks from the location if you're a parent you know how excited i am to be walking my kids to school i want you to know what the school means to me we navigated the unif i had lottery we didn't get our neighborhood school
