and be more sensitive to the northern neighbors since then we've made a number of modifications to the project if i can get the projector so the big part that we reduced the height of the building from 40 feet and four stories to 28 and one one half stories for the first. >> can you zoom out a little bit so we can follow our description thank you. >> thanks. >> and then at rear the submerged four story structure 40 feet short than in june we reduced the line at the 7 for the rear 25 feet and by about 12 and a half feet or level navy

feet at the front of the building a 5 foot setback from the neighboring building at the rear matching where the building is at it goes all the way to the windows at the is privately line and an additional 3 foot setback for the rear 12 feet of unoccupied buildings the 3 floor deck is eliminated and others roof deck is eliminated the windows facing is misdemeanor to be 5 foot tall to people can't look down or fostered and looked at it its front facade to be more consistent with the neighborhoods i want to show you the renderings this was the

original project that partial fourth floor and the new project you can't see if the street and clearly the 4 stories at the back and 3 down to 3 that is difficult to distinguish looking from the other direction the partial fourth floor and here it is today another fourth and heres today thank you, commissioners and okay speakers in support of project sponsor. >> hi, i'm here representing 1140 potrero my family owns the building i'm here in support of project thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> of the project

>> i've looked this carefully sense i'm impressed with the 3-d drawings from my perspective the building was suv modified to address those concerns that grow and continue the project i looked at the carefully and actually comfortable with the way the project has been adjusted. >> commissioner hillis. >> yeah. he agree it is often challenging when we have a home in the back of a lot and be able to design around that but the changes that were made make that less impactful there will be an impact to the home in the back from having this project developed but does that in a way this incentive i move to take dr and approve with changes

proposed and second. >> commissioner moore. >> i'm encouraged the project applicant to say the 3-d refrndz earlier so that the opposing party has a slightly better idea to understand it fully render it out because the devil is in the details and the metrics in the encompassed public package are harder to understand and the so soot it's - guiding the process of redesign that is well captured in the images so i'm not sure to whether or not there is a reason why those are not seen earlier but it would help to ease the communicate and

position against the project in a better way. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further, there is a motion that has been seconded to take dr and approve the project as motivated on that motion commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner koppel commissioner melgar commissioner moore commissioner vice president richards and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 duo to zero and . >> on the various close the public hearing. >> thank you commissioners that places us on item 19 stockton street requester for a discretionary review we had a request for an interpreter mr. sam are you in the room. >> mr. sam no

setback by 10 feet as received boo the preservation staff and a fourth floor addition assessed by the a stair that adds 19 hundred square feet to the building the project is located within an r m-1 and it is in proximity would to the mcd the immediate block and surrounding block has a structure between three and four stories in height the first discretionary review was filed on behalf of the north beach tenants committee the concerns stated in the dr application are one that the project will significantly alternate a historic building, two the tenant was evicted and 3 the building is used for shorelines that represents a detrimental eye from the residential building the abundance of short-term rentals negatively impacting

other quality of life issues the second request for dr was filed during the section notification period for the project by a neighbor that lives in the immediate - immediately adjacent property to the south in addition to the concerns by the first dr requester the second doctor application state a concern that the fourth floor with roof deck will block light and reduces the views the dr application doesn't suggest anything other than a roof deck shouldn't be allowed and see the short-term rentals within the immediate area the department has reviewed the statement and does not feel that many any of the conditions with exceptional or extraordinary first, the building is a historic resources but not a known historic resource it's been received by the historic preservation under ceqa and the

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> i'm the owner of 1857 stockton street. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> one of the first reason owe object it brought all my view from my windows blocked. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> currently my from my house he view the golden gate bridge. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> which is rare in san francisco. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> also it blocks and limits the fresh air that comes into my

house. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> if three or four structures is built on top of it no two fire escapes. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> also when i approached any current building and current apartment i first of all, pay more money for the first or second story because of view. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> and if that structure is being built the value of that property will come up whereas the value of any property will go down tremendously.

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> i'm the greatest victim if this structure is going ahead other people may not suffer as much as i do. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> many buildings in san francisco are historic value with old history. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> and 24 construction will destroy the historic value of our district - of our neighborhood. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> well also any mom is almost

80 years old and she enjoys the sunshine and the fresh air every day and this construction i don't know whether or not she can withstand the darkness and the lack of fresh air. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> okay. this is view looking from - this is the view scene from my window. >> yeah. from my window. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> currently that building is two stories if you add 3 more stories that blocks all the view and air from my building.

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> so this view from my house shows how limit the air and lighting to my building with the addition of this structure you know the sunlight and air their further limited. >> could you flip the drawings we can see that better thank you very much thank you.

>> okay. have a signature of all the tenants and owners living currently living in my building and the signatures are over here. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> okay other speakers in support of dr requester? >> good evening moe president of the middle polk neighborhood association pretty out arraign to go for the record with a huge i think we have to ask ourselves how is this helping the housing crisis

if they would perhaps going into the rear yard for example, and pitting in reasonable sized units and smaller units are studio units, one bedrooms but to go and put a gigantic unit on the on top of a building in north beach i think is really over the line he understand you know their property their right to pursue that but how so that benefit the community? how did that benefit the goals of alleviating the housing crisis i don't see an alignment there i think this is a heavily tenant neighborhood a lot of long term tenants you heard the comments about short-term rentals we see the same thing an polk street it is the type of new development we really have to be very cautious at a minimum i would request the commission to

continue this to work the department and the project sponsor to work maybe an additional that reflects the values of trying to add a couple of important units alternatively i request the commission to just deny this request because it is not really in line with what needs to be done in our city and particularly a part of city that is very historic and along long term tenants i submit that thank you. >> hello, my name is silvia johnson. the dnr under the zoning area has put in preceding on our, you know, light of this districts

and the indignity that note was riding over - was really no - blockings you don't know i don't see y where we have any signs that it agree with any of our you know zonings this were a lot of our problems we don't really per seed in this during the trial this doesn't make sense

to keep on the unions is better to proceed in ways of different kinds of zones you know we see areas that we can you know not block because we're not really looking at our lighting and warrior that we have entire waste and the matrimony in different zoning district is where our permanency has not

seen the matters to - matter of our prices that happen - there's no you know difference. >> next speaker in support of dr requester. >> members of the commission my name is jeff van buren miners are the adjacent neighbors in the local, state, and federal apartment on the north side of the project at the level of the dunn's second floor our main consideration that will significantly reduce the light in our let that effects our interior rooms and the alternated 42 inch wall on the

roof deck will decrease the penetration more my other concern i don't know how much noise and visitation those elevators make but in the revised plan the elevators is moved to the north side abutting our studies wall and i just wonder can the elevator be moved away from the wall thank you good afternoon. >> good afternoon can i have the overhead? i'm also a co-founder of the tenant committee as a marla mentioned the fact of the short-term rentals being a major issue 22 units desire units one one block of that particular

project so, yes we are on high alert when anything about the vacation rentals occurs had he understand the project sponsor is master building as long as and bubble realty their signature is a roof deck and for illegal short-term rentals and obviously for legal short-term rentals so we have been paying attention to anything and everything this particular group does when we were made aware of a petition which is a very misleading line in asking for support essentially in keeping grammy in 0 home you have that in front of you this is a sponsor who is not known for creating development for special needs

a rooftop deck i don't know how it effects accessibility for an aged person that is steps with an iron gate and mr. fuller lives in the bottom condo so that is a little bit confusing in terms of saeblth he who work at senior and disability action would certainly not be here today, if i thought that was really about assess for a woman to age in place but i'm not sure what the actual intent is here in terms of does that work place within office rather than a second bedroom in the first unit who will be living where? we're very concerned this is our neighborhood and we would like you to please take a look at this and reject this plan thank

you >> i'm speaking for ms. i chin written a tiny statement so i'm going to read it in english pr my name is i i live stockton street near additional levels on the structure as a proposed fact the health of our us who live in the lowest 3 floors in our building i represent the 3 floors who come against this proposal because they are 7 windows in the back of our house first

story, second story, third floor, 21 windows the building the windows have no light to come in so it will be very dark everyday owe have arthritis - i can't sleep well, i'm 80 years old and that kind of pain is too much. >> so also the proposal would effect the value of our house and adding levels to that structure turns our house into a race house we're against it so again, i express our opposition

to this proposal. >> also i'm reading a statement for the leann and she's my name is leann 18 years me and i husband lived on stockton street number c we're happy to occupy this house because we live in a place with sunlight and very good air and furthermore, from our house from our window we see the golden gate and higher building only our flat we can view the

golden gate bridge and that is the reason we're willing to pay extra at the time to find this house but after the last month we received the city planning department letter and say that your neighbor 1865 to 67 applied to add street levels of four levels and that caused our entire family to scombraepgs because the building in san francisco is not very good and when we in our house once we get in there's a corridor with no window and the street windows are on the direct side our house separated from our neighbor 165 by only one window is about two

meters away and if they add more than one levels it will be serious impact to our house we lose the sunlight the air and circulation will not be good and the value of housing will go down our health will be reduced and our quality of life will suffer we don't want to live in the darkness more importantly in this house my mom thirty years ago my mom worked several jobs to save the money to buy this house it is like life now 78 years and her legs are not good and sets in the house and undercover officer sunlight and

air and winds are very important to her, she is losing sleep no appetite and crying everyday we're very concerned about the health and therefore we strongly against it the other 5 units they're also effected because this building is closet to we want to petition for withdrawal from this >> right into the microphone. >> go ahead. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> i live in 1855 b.

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> i'm against the additional building to the structure. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> effects the sunlight going into our building effects our health. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> i am very much against it thank you. >> thank you. >> okay. any other speakers in support of dr requester? >> okay in the first place project sponsor please. >> we're not done. >> sorry hang on you'll have your - okay project sponsor please. as there you are two dr requesters a 10 minute presentation time you don't have

to use the whole 10 minutes. >> good afternoon commissioner president fong and members of the commission i'm justin project sponsor for the proposed addition on stockton street as mentioned the appropriately structure to adversely and horizontal structure the architect owners and i have worked alongside the adjacent neighbors to shape a project that reverses the building we respectfully enhanced the property for the owners in light of the concerns in the two discretionary review we've continued to massage it and building the project should be approved significant changes were made during two notification periods in order to minimize the obstructions - the

deck was eliminated from the rear and windows from the lightwell and does the project divisions have received support specifically the owners from the north. >> could you pick up the microphone and speak a little bit louder thank you very much. >> additionally fire safety will be improved that will be sprinkler a sprinkler testimony no living of tenant eviction one rent-controlled units for a short-term rental the owner occupies one unit and the mother the second unit the existing facade will be preserved with setbacks to the floor and rehabbed to the tinder beautiful and the owner and architect made those improvement to minimize the impact to the neighboring property while adding function to their own property the owner

wishes to be a consciousness member of the neighborhood and made the provisions to minimize the impact on neighbors and accommodate her family, her family's needs and add value to the neighborhoods thank you for your time and consideration and i'll be available for extra questions. >> i'd like to add in response to some of the concerns that in terms of sergeant the elevator that goes all the way to the garage because someone with wheel into the garage and assess the froorz i believe some of the photos were taken from the roof rue but the walk to school touching the side to the south we had photos of that and had worked extensive with the owners the building to the north and to establish some additional setbacks and preserve to expand the lightwell to allow light

into his lightwell he asked for additional screening and removal of windows and fosters so people can't look down into his windows those were added to the design after the notification period thank you. >> speakers in support of project sponsor. >> hello 1865 stockton street. >> i believe ms. johnson you spoke in opposition to this project. >> okay. >> hi, i'm one of the owners

of 1865, 67 stockton street i live with mire my daughter and daughter i feel blessed to have children this process has been stressfully and upsetting to people in any communities have published visible lies about me accusing me of evicting tenants not true my daughter and i went to the doors of the families october 3rd and raised 200 signatures i love my neighbors and i thank you for your support i've first moved to san francisco in 1948 at the age of 21 and lived in a four story walk up a lot has changed in 48 i'm now 89 years old we're all trying to do is expand your small home by

widening narrow hallways creating assessable bathrooms and elevators i hope i'll, alive to see that everything takes to long in san francisco and a lot of time is something i don't have we started this process over two years ago and with a neighborhood garage gathering we have worked with the neighbors who contacted us with concerns and have made many changes at their requests to the original design i hope the commission will approve our plan today thank you. >> north /*. >> next speaker, please. >> hello, i'm a neighbor on powell street and friend the family i raised and family in

the neighborhood in the same manner the dunn's do and here to speak to what the dunn's contribute to the neighborhood raising a family in the neighborhood they are positive force in the neighborhood they organize regular event to the parks and around the neighborhood and encourage all of the other families that rays their kids in the neighborhood to participate guilt us when we don't show up the dunn's raising their son in the neighborhood when they are out out of town or something the rest of the of us in the neighborhoods look after each other and we invited grammy into our home and watch over her when

gary and jen are unable to do so so speak to the fact they are a positive force in the neighborhood and contribute to the fabric the neighbors thank you. >> do i get his time. >> no. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is leah beckham a homeowner in the neighborhood and a member of the north beach community i'm here to support jen project our demographic is finding ourselves in this unique situation the way of having children we're caring for school age children and amp adults we have our mother-in-law with us and it took us four years to put an elevator in our home it is a stressfully they

know to do and the amount of stress it causes everyone is difficult the participants have to move if they don't get an elevator it is important to understand that but what is wonderful about our neighborhood this existing housing stock because it was originally built as homeowners from multi family housing so we're actually using it as it was historically intend this is meant for multiple members of the same family we need elevators so when we're caring for the elderly they can enjoy equal access so i hope you'll join me in letting the san franciscans know we can adopt the heretofore to the needs of modern family thank you. >> hello my name is jennifer

and i'm a neighbor the dunn's i'm here to encourage the expedition to recognize the had you matter at hand they're asking for more comfortable generational family they're not asking for anything fancy they're asking for to improve their structure to make that eligible for an aging family member more assessable and confront there a perfect example of swastika they're doing ♪ notching san francisco what better way to encourage families like this one i ask you to do that today thanks

>> good afternoon commissioners i'm eric dunn no relationship to the dunn a homeowners on green street i support the dunn's project is it is a perfect example of a democrat graphic multi generational families living in their home for 10 years now their needing a change people ample and mobility is an issue lo la is 89 they want to remain in their home that allows full access to our home my mom came to live with use it is fantastic for my kids to have their grandmother and without that note a long term solution the dunn's with not looking to do anything illegal but consistent with their

live able to modern standards. >> through the chair schematics the project sponsor was not aware she should have spoken flat project sponsor time they left 15 seconds there the clock. >> so, now a i'm jennifer dunn one of the owners me and my mother of the property on stockton street i lived with any husband and my child i've lived in the house as said over 12 years and love the community and really involved in the community it e he was heart broken when i got the complaints they didn't come to me i'll be happy to work with any neighbors anyways i got on a bandwagon for

support i don't know if i needed it or not that's what's in front of you so people that couldn't come today everyone is happy faces thank you for giving up your time i remind around me and my mom and 3 days got close to three hundred signatures one and 77 out of one and 77 one hundred from the 94133 area code and 19 from my block 18 block and out of the 19 from my block 6 from the ether property on both sides so anyways i went out and spoke to the people it seems like i have a lot of support for any project he hope you'll consider it and ask my project thank you.

>> thank you for your time. >> thank you time for rebuttal secretary owen. >> no other speakers in support of project sponsor. >> okay kerri a two minute rebuttal each dr requester. >> each dr requester. >> again, i would - i don't doubt that jennifer was able to get signatures i don't know that the entire project was explained as the petition clearly showed that that was just about some renovations to take care of the older mother so it is deception, that is

something that i just want to look at what is this about the mother is supposing living in the top unit with the floor and roof deck that's the one that is registered as short-term rentals so people where they they living and what is really the purpose of this project so thank you. >> thank you second dr requester you have two minutes. >> mr. sam if you could interpret the fact they have two minutes. >> if they choose they don't have to -

>> thank you. i appreciate that. >> very good okay. thank you. >> this portion of hearing is closed. >> the project sponsor gets - >> i'm sorry he apologize i think we'll point out we went through 2 notification periods the first one filed at the first part of year and marla described that and made minor revisions to the rear the prompt but pursue a second notification they've not received double the attention that a typical 311 process will generate and through the entire period tried to work with the neighborhood and adjust the design significantly down from where that originally was to

accommodate those concerns. >> at this portion of the hearing is closed commissioner moore. >> i think the question of multi generational living is relevant to our discussion about housing and again in a the context of the dr to remind the public we need too big look at is that something exceptional or extraordinary the exceptional or extraordinary is to look at dense phil ginsberg the city in a manner that the additional of 19 homicide square feet in rh1 should at a minimum create an additional unit or two i think when you look at the existing plans and that's where we start i can understand you'll want to widen or eliminate an angle or

create a larger bathroom just to make that easier to get in there with a walker or whatever when you get older, however, the size of the existing part of property seems to be sufficient for me to make those teaches adjustment the lower unit at the nine hundred and 98 square feet and currently unbuilt space and upper unit with 11 hundred square feet plus it is sufficient for the extended family they operate as a units the plans as submitted somehow for me fall short avenue

credible depiction of a family electing take you guys through one thing accessibility the elevator is about 46 feet away from what granny gets out of her car walks to the rear of the end of the property and when she gets into the elevator ends up in bedrooms that is a totally non-designed decision where you have multiple families and don't end up in a bedroom whether you have an elevator to the widened toilet i don't see their larger than the sink the main toilets in the same position and some additional bathroom, on the proposed third

floor and i see offices on the second and third floor including in the lowest part of unoccupied buildings that 1-way street expanded family looks more like this particular building alteration tries to appeal to a new market that gets stronger whether look at roof decks no roof decks in this area and other controversial projects around here and roof decks were not part of it because people lived two closely for that to be a comfortable consideration. >> i am concerned that the older nature the neighborhood makes it difficult to add a floor given the fact that you would be impacting each other the main orientation of

unoccupied buildings is east west so looking into - at anyone that lives north the property their narrow lightwells with the depths of existing building will automatically be in deep shadows no sun that's the nature of those kinds of things the neighborhood needs to rely on each other to maintain the stability i have questions about the project and for me it's difficult to see that there's really an intent to propose multi generational when the units is designed of something else i couldn't support there is something seriously remiss. >> additional commissioner

comments. >> commissioner hillis. >> thank you for being here. >> i don't share a lot of commissioner moore's concerns i think given kind of how the building is situated between two larger buildings there is room to make this addition and do it in a sensible way i think is this what we have to look at i know that people talk about who is living there and how the interior of the building with the context of the two adjacent buildings are higher than by a floor than this one. >> my only issue will be kind of the front facade the addition

of the front facade maybe i can ask the architect there's a large glass kind of wall or window is that a sliding glass door. >> on that portion. >> yeah. the fourth floor. >> i'll put the drawings on the overhead so we can see. >> there's a large walk outdoor setback portion of the building. >> so just- that's from a historic stand point that believe the block as building built around the same thing or more contextual so my only issue that deck in the front i don't think that is quite necessary

and takes away from the rhythm of the block and the additions seemed to be just a little bit two modern given the kind of sliding glass doorways or folding glass doors and then you know the roof deck is large obviously your taking advantage of the entire square footage of the roof so i'll be open to taking dr and eliminated that front deck and multiplying the doors to make them windows and perhaps reducing the size of the roof deck on top of that or eliminating the roof decks but i'll see what my fellow commissioners have to say. >> thank you. i guess i have a question for you. >> so i got caught going to the men's room with a dr requester in the hall i think i

missed a few things i got a little bit confused can you explain to me and i'll talk with the dr requester with the relationship of tbelieves how d that fit together. >> i'm not sure am i talking about the master builders we know them as the naturally tenants committee as those with you know peter it's his team and the gentleman is part of a they've brought up nearly every block buildings and immediately ellised or buy outs or harassments to get tenant out we know they'll do renovations

they'll add roof decks and that many of those units where people once lived and evicted have been used as vacation rentals and other renovation projects are going on and continue even a building from 2011 they were ellis acted and in green beach has periodically become vacationed rentals when they've been called on that it is abated and start up later this continues to happen that's why it is important to us to say if the condo below is where the grandmother is indeed living and according to the assessor organized he's the owner of that particular unit and the daughter and son-in-law and grandson live

in the european unit registered to do add an additional floor and deck to us as this is flaring the rental income. >> cot owners the building step forward please. just i want to clarify kind of what we're looking at here so - great. >> you own which unit. >> 1865. >> the upper or lower. >> ma'am, you're the owner. >> 1867 and you are husband and wife. >> we yeah, and this is my

son. >> okay. so husband owns the top and wife owns the bottom. >> no, we are partners in the building together. >> we all own 9 building together. >> great you hired an external construction company to help expand those united. >> this is the master builders work. >> they don't take on a regular citizens on do things they easy buy but i liked their work and ask them to do any project they agreed i don't know if they'll do the work did you design it. >> this is our project and your units and you want to expand. >> yeah. >> i've cleared that up i appreciate it okay. thank you very much. >> commissioner moore. >> i just wanted to a ask the commissioner hillis -

commissioner hillis i wanted to remind you when we have additions to buildings that they typically hold back 15 feet he wanted to remember that that would a be a minimum adjustment the second part i'd like to ask from the gentleman can explain to us if you wouldn't mind coming to the microphone i see the plan i see what you call a living room and kitchen, however, i'm kind of looking for utility hookups or a place where your kitchen sink or references will be i don't see any ray out i understand the space a 5 which again puts the elevator next to a powder room without understanding how it fits

together this is the confusion that is stressed to the depiction of all floors where are the utilities? where are the hookups for the layouts of the ketchup that raise questions which this plan doesn't explain i see a reverse floor plan where living is above sheep we had a weeks ago and in a way a good idea but somehow lacks the level of detail which we'll better understand. >> so i'll remind everyone this is as seat permit but typically at this level we do design work for individuals outside of our company and just recently entitled and approved a project across the street for

1864 for an upper level we look at the locations of appliance and fixtures and we spent the energy and time we have a label where the kitchen roughly the kitchen will be and discussed the layout a big island a dining island the elevator was directed by the owner to come up in that portion to no disruptive 9 forefront of house with the idea you can drive into the garage and get you thought car and come up into the kitchen or the living below. >> can he ask a quick question for staff. >> so from the dr requesters

complaint for lack of a better term and indicated a historic problem 72 hours a b rated structure if we determined that was historic allen ginsburg lived that would that effect in no way, shape, or form how the addition will be put on the building will we be allowed to make an additional how does that work. >> i believe that the preservation staff reviewed that it was a historic this and they found addition to be acceptable meeting the secretary of interior standard and if we're landmarked. >> it will be reviewed for the secretary of interior standard and . >> and that building meets that. >> the amount of setback at the front part of the reason they were accepting a 10 foot

setback in this case it was in part because the narrowness only 21 feet wide and the renderings they felt the addition would not be visible. >> if we were to push it back the additional 5 feet what will it do to the programming. >> i'll defer to the architect on that. >> switch back to the plan pushed back the original setback originally that was 8 feet we pushed it back to 10 feet exemption you mean if we pushed the wall back further the size of the room will be less feasible much less usable the layout and tv and couch and table it is becomes a more of a

hallway or landing. >> commissioner moore. >> i like to take issue with that comment made right now two minutes ago i was told the layout will be done later because of the extent of the drawings that commission looking at liveability and it is fair about the housing i am sir, are you the architect. >> yes. >> are you a licensed architect i see the stamp of another architect. >> our architect does all the drawings and have an engineer generating i'm not a licensed architect in california. >> thank you. >> i think commissioner hillis had some good points around taking away the deck and putting

in two windows i think shrinking or eliminating the upper deck is beneficial as well as setting additional feet i'll see what my fellow commissioners have to say and commissioner hillis. >> so i'll comfortable eliminating the deck in the front and replacing obviously the doors with the windows and just sensitive to the front and how it reads on the street i propose to also move the roof deck back in the front of the by 9, 7 that aligns that with the top of the stairs that is important for the constrains the open space in those neighborhoods how i think there is a great open space on the ground floor i move to take dr and set the upper deck back. >> repeat that one time. >> eliminate the front doss

deck a 5 foot deck that entails removing the sliding glass doors and putting in windows and setting the roof deck back 9 feet 7 inches that aligns with the top floor. >> commissioner moore. >> i like to take issue with that because we have a large number i cannot exactly see the number of buildings we are talking about the width of the street and the needs for the expansion not to be visible staff is aware of that and the property is only 21 feet wider doesn't apply into that discussion it is voishthd from the street that determines that has i mentioned we're consistent at least for the last number of years for many of the commissioners that have sat there have supported that will be a minimum of 15 feet

having said that, i basically stronger urge us not to look at the width of a property but deal with the appearance of an additional on the street that is indeed a consistent building of 15 feet i think in a possible historic district that is even more important that we uphold that particular kind of environment is that an amendment to the motion. >> that's a reminder to what i think we need to do i'm landmarking for the director and staff to help us as the commission to do things consistently and i don't believe the standard a invisible. >> the standard my understanding secretary of interior standard it is minimally visible and needs to be half a story so i

think when staff reviewed the refrndz provided it providers to be more than half a story and the width has to do with with the square footage the reason the staff cited it was narrow that's why they cited the width not about the visibility. >> there is a motion that has been seconded stationing we're not incorporating the amendment the motion to take dr and modify it by replacing the doors with windows and moving back the roof deck. >> scomplifz. >> commissioner johnson commissioner koppel commissioner melgar no. >> commissioner moore no sxhoifks no

that motion fails 3 to 3 is there an additional motion. >> i can't make a motion but open to pushing the addition back between 3 and 5 feet. >> i make a motion to continue the project and have the project applicant come back with a more negotiated addition to the building which also shows plans that are more in keeping with what i hear your family philosophy is i don't see that. >> second. >> any further discussion on the continuance motion please call the motion. >> do you have a suggested date and i have to refer to you. >> the problem is it sounds like that might take a couple of weeks the november are impacted

by the joint meetings and moved to december 1st and december 8th it - i believe i leave it to the discussion of this commission which day and what's our first available january date. >> january 5th paw that's fine. >> if that's acceptable to the folks that motion to continue commissioner hillis no commissioner johnson. >> commissioner koppel no commissioner melgar commissioner moore and schematics that a motion fails 3 to 3. >> is there an alternative motion. >> sure. >> please. so i think where we were we

agreed on the front deck and where we have a stepping back points on the setback. >> we agreed that the roof deck would be pushed back 9 feet 7 we - the only sticking point the sobriety of the addition whether that was 10 to 12 or 13 or 14 feet a couple of feet. >> commissioner hillis higher motion didn't address that. >> i took staffs recommendation to you know given the context to keep that 10 feet. >> would you entertain a motion commissioner johnson to push that back at all. >> i want to make that minimal i think that the design was pretty extensive the way it was present i agreed point removal of the front deck that's fine.

>> a motion with commissioner hillis with a setback of 12 feet versus 10. >> make a motion to take dr and remove the front deck and the move back the roof deck 10. >> second. >> thank you, commissioners on that motion then to take dr and modify the project by eliminating. >> hold on. >> 12 feet from the front property lines. >> okay eliminating the front deck and moving the roof deck 9 feet 7 inches and savings account the front from the property line and commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner koppel commissioner melgar no commissioner moore no commissioner vice president richards so moved, commissioners, that motion passes 4 to two with

commissioner melgar and commissioner moore voting against. >> xifrgsz that places us on general public comment there are no speaker cards. >> >> public comment? seeing none, the the meeting is adjourned .

great things of san francisco it is neighborhood neighborhood have dentist corrosive are coffeehouses but 2, 3, 4 coffeehouses in month neighborhoods that are on their own- that's can good morning everybody and welcome to this beautiful day in san francisco. we're so excited to have everybody here, and i want to just say before we begin, we're just thrilled, absolutely thrilled that nancy and the mayor could be here today. and so thank you for taking time in your busy schedule to honor us at dreamforce. this is our biggest and most exciting dreamforce and we have more than 175,000 people registered to attend the event and there is more than 15 million people joining us

online as well. that is incredible. almost 5 million people joined us yesterday online here at dreamforce. and as part of dreamforce, of course we have incredible advancements in technology. we have got all of these incredible programs and events. there are 2700 sessions happening, but perhaps the most important thing we do at dreamforce is remind to do something for somebody else. this has been part of the core philosophy since the first day we introduced our company and 111 "pacific seasonings' gold shield brand" that is 1% of your equity, your profit and time and when we started salesforce it didn't seem like much because we didn't have any equity, profit or time, but now we have 20,000 employee and this incredible company. so we have been able to give back more than had a million-and-a-half hours of volunteerism and $130 million in grants much to the k-12 system here in san francisco and oakland.

and also, we run 28,000 non-profits and ngos for our service. every year we love to dedicate and focus dreamforce to a specific cause. it's a very important part of us and we get to see all of these great causes around the world and so many people doing god's work and so thrilled to partner and unite with them and we celebrate red, and ceo of red who has fought aids tirelessly throughout the world and celebrating her with this incredible red store, selling hundreds of thousands of red's products more than we expected on the dreamforce campus. tonight one of the founders of red bono is going to perform for us tonight at the cow palace. it's exciting and we're very, very excited and i want to

turn it over to nancy and ed and to hear from the leaders of red as well. nancy. >> thank you very much for everything, thank you marc benioff and to salesforce and dreamforce for making the tremendous difference you are making. we have been here before whether when we tried to end hunger and you always pick up a cause of such urgency and helping aids for good, for good meaning what it means in the lives of people and in the lives of country and for good, what it means in terms of our society. i have a message about marc benioff that i want to read. it was something that was said about mozart when they tried to explain how brilliant he was. and when i was reading it, it reminded me of marc. i asked how -- was mozart

a genius and mathematician, marc said an ordinary genius is a fellow whom you and a would be just as good as if we only were many times better. there is no mystery about how his mind works. once we understand what genius has done, we feel certain we, too, could have done it. it's different with magicians. even after we understand what they have done, it is completely dark. mozart, marc benioff is a magician. benioff's work is like a series of lightning strokes producing one uninprovable masterpiece after another and was said of mozart and can be received marc benive. the generosity of lynn and marc benioff to our schools and in so many ways and education and growing our

economy in ways that is fair. they are magicians. i have only said this about one other person, and guess who that is? bono. that was a few years ago and here we are book ends of these magicians starting the morning, ending the day with two magicians, who have the magic to make such a difference in our world. and part of their magic is the spell that they cast enabling other people to join in in philanthropy, in justice, in ending hiv/aids as we know it now. our city responded in a wonderful way and we'll talk about it at the theater in a little while. got to have my glasses on -- but for right now, this

dreamforce that we're all here about, make us part of something very magical. that will make a tremendous, tremendous difference in the world. thank you marc benioff for being the magician that you are, and working your magic spell. >> thank you. >> thank you [ applause ] let's hear it for marc. >> thank you, nancy. >> thank you, dear. now it's my pleasure and marc has 111 and salesforce. our mayor has continued the tradition of the fight against hiv/aids with his 000 and 0 deaths and 0 discrimination against those with aids. thank you, mayor lee. >> thank you, member pelsingo. peluso. pelosi.

i associate myself with every remark that nancy pelosi has said. welcome to dreamforce san francisco! [ applause ]. >> this is one of the most exciting periods of the year and marc with your salesforce, welcoming in 175,000 people and i don't even feel congested. i feel great because the innovative spirit that everybody has, their excitement coming together to not just talk about products and how to help each other out. but also coming together to do great things. this is what cities dream of doing is having people come to their cities, working and collaborating to do great things for each other. and i will tell you, it's not bad to receive $200 million in revenue while this conference going on during the week. [ applause ] >> yes. that is how much impact this has for our city.

but you know, when people talk about the company of salesforce, it's much more than the economics. in fact, i would say the best way to describe is that we really have the true civic partnership with salesforce. the civic partnership that produces an infusion of support for all of our public schools. you know our middle schools because of five years' of investment, marc, that you have made and salesforce foundation has made, the performance by all standards is way up. the highest performing urban schools in the entire state of california because of you are infusion. [ applause ] i have never seen teachers and principles talk as if they were hired for their jobs just yesterday. because they get this innovation money to really change the culture of their campuses, not only the

middle schools, but all of the schools. this is what caused the civic partnership to happen. yesterday marc, i have to say watching the news at night and kind of being tired and maybe complaining to my wife about how hard things are to get things done. then you see the blue angels at the benioff hospital with the kids going through their life trauma and to see the smiles with people going through the most difficult periods of their time and they are at benioff hospital and the kind of support that this hospital and the medical profession you have partnered with ucsf is an incredible story that should resonate in every city around the world. education, health care, last year the salesforce movement turned out 1 million books for our students in the entire bay area.

1 million books [ applause ] that is the kind of dna that we're creating with this civic partnership. this year, i'll say as leader pelosi has said, aids has been a complicated disease tackle. and we have spent countless hours. we have had thousands of people come in whether they are doctors, health care professionals, community activists, community-based organizations, companies, or non-profits like the san francisco aids foundation doing great, terrific work. creating a community planning clinic of leadership to do all of this. and for red to now join in this marvelous opportunity with the salesforce and dreamforce, to say that they are going to contribute $1 million to this effort to end the aids epidemic, to end new

cases. last year -- we're on our way by the way because of the community activism that we have had. only 330 cases -- new cases last year. we need to get to zero. we need the promise and to fulfill that promise just like marc and leader pelosi have always said, when we make a promise we're going to be able to keep it. zero new cases, zero infections and zero stigma, and with that, i want to introduce our senior vp at the san francisco aids foundation, james. [ applause ] . >> thank you. thank you, mr. mayor, leader pelosi and marc, it's an honor to be here and share the stage with you. we appreciate the invitation and good morning everyone, welcome to dreamforce. i will start by telling a personal story. a few years ago i was confronted by an unexpected divorce from my partner of seven years. the news understandably knocked me to my knees and

depression is normally triggered by hitting one of life's rough.s and hiv experts call this "the season of risk." it can happen to any of us. personally i got to mine thanks to san francisco's network of free services for sexual health, mental health, substance health, that were available to me on-demand without shame or judgmentment, the question am i worthy of love and belonging is one of the most fundamental we confront in our work and represents a human desire to be seen and to be valued and to connect. our city's name is synonymous with the model of care that is designed to restore dignity and heal wounds that are inflicted by poverty and racism and homophobia and violence. see here in san francisco for 30 years we have believed

that people who are gay, people who are trans, people who are homeless, people engaged in sex work, people who use drugs, we are all first and foremost people. and we're all worthy of love and belonging. [ applause ] and while that is certainly not unique to san francisco, it is not nearly common enough. and with commitments from people like marc and leadership by the astonishing leaders to my left, and from this wonderful woman who you are about to meet, i know, i know that we'll get there. this city was ground-zero for the aids epidemic, and recently just a week or two ago, san francisco department of public health released updated numbers reporting in 2015 there were 255 new

infections and let's be clear, that is 255 too many and make no mistake our hardest work is ahead of us as we work to reduce seemingly intractable health disparities and bring more people in from the margins. that means developing innovative approaches to better need our transbrothers and sister and aids populations and communities of color and of people struggling to keep a roof over their head. but momentum is on our side. because that number represents tremendous progress. that number is why we can stand here flanked by extraordinary leaders and see generous commitments from people like marc, who share our determination to get to a day when san francisco becomes the very first city

to end hiv transmission. [ applause ] >> thank you. and now it's my great honor to introduce my new friend deb duggan, ceo of red. [ applause ] . >> thank you. oh, my gosh, hi everybody. this is a tad overwhelming for me, as you can see. welcome, welcome to dreamforce and i'm truly honored and humbled to be with this esteemed crowd. when you think of san francisco in the '80s, it's so fitting we're here now because it was the courageous city that said, you know, this is all impossible that all of these people are dying, and great leaders like you, nancy, held it up like this, when nobody wants to see it. and said this cannot be. and so this proud city rallied, and here we are 30 years later, would you have

ever thought and i just have to say it nancy, that you would be here at this beautiful tech conference 170,000 people hearing about red, where we are in the fight against aids? and what you can go to help? it's just astonishing and so i thank you marc for putting on this sun spotlight and this megaphone to let people know where we are today. [ applause ] ? >> so red is an organization that actually came to be to solve a problem. so the global fund which fights malaria, tuberculous and aids and countries came and gave $5 billion, but companis did not company and in the first year $5 million came from companies and bono and bobby schriber had the idea to create a brand, a brand for good, that people would look at and be able to somehow participate.

but the main thing was to bring companies and get them to be involved in the fight against aids. here we are ten years later and we have given $360 million to the global fund in fight against aids, and 70 partners have come on-board. salesforce is one of those partners that lets all of this be possible. so we started talking in 2015, and typical fashion marc comes to the table with funds for the global fund. but then with his marketing team we started thinking, well what if there were tools that could help red run better? because we're a small group of 20 people in new york city and we actually, you know are still using spreadsheets and stuff. so there is a lot of data as everybody said here, it's incredibly complicated. we now have tools to track where is the red money going for that country, how are they in the fight against

mother-to-child transmission of hiv? are they having the right ultimate return on investment, saving lives? so we do that with marketing. we do that with social media. we do that with our partners sales. we're in such a different place a year later because of salesforce tools that we use. thank you for that as well. so why are we here today? two big reasons. one is the donations; right? so you have heard that we're trying to raise a million dollars. you can donate in various booths. you can go to the pop-up shop and buy some red things, hint. you know, and the idea is that we would try to make a million dollars. but then marc and lynn benioff have graciously said they would match that and then the bill and melinda gates would double match it

and talking $4 million in four days [ applause ] that is a lot of lives saved, just got to say that outloud. the other reason we're here is for companies. to have this platform to be able to talk to companies, and say, partner with us, join us. we can't do it alone. we want to eliminate mother-child transmission of hiv by 2020 and 30 million people have died of this disease. 37 million still have it. it is the no. 1 killer of women of reproductive age, and the no. 1 -- no. 2 killer of adolescents world and my second request, if you can donate, but if you are a company tweet at us@red. and come join us and let's

make the impossible, possible. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you, deb. thank you, james. thank you, ed, thank you, nancy and i will tell you what a great team we have right here and we have a great team with our whole dreamforce community as well. everyone can do one thing to make the world a little bit better and that is certainly salesforce' philosophy and we try to put that in action right here at dreamforce and a great way to do that is to make a contribution to red, buying a t-shirt or cash contribution, whatever works for you is great where us and another thing we have to do is adopt a public school, because nothing is more important than our children's education. all of us have public schools within a few blocks of our home and if we just knock on that principal's door and ask how i can help? thank you very much for everything that you are duke we'll see you at keynote at 1:00, thank you and tonight

with bono 8:00! [ applause ] >> how is everyone doing today? all right. so we are here to announce the grand opening and cut the ribbon on duc loi pantry. how about a big round of applause? [ applause ] as you all know, duc loi is a long time san francisco business that is expanding and opening here on 3rd street in the bay view, filling a vacancy on 3rd street, bringing good local

jobs, and providing fresh produce to the neighborhood and the community. we have a number of speakers here who want to celebrate this milestone and important occasion and beginning with mayor lee, supervisor cohen, assembly member david chiu and howard ngo, the owner of duc loi and anthony page an employee at duc loi and the assessor-recorder carmen chou and without further ado, mayor lee. [phra*-urt/] [ applause ] come on up, the school district and school board is here as well. come on up. all right. congratulations everyone, you now have a local grocery store! [ applause ] >> you know, i want to say thank you to you and the staff for working so hard with the supervisor's office and all of the neighborhoodss and with howard. let me say this, good things

just don't happen. . all right? for this community a lot of good things never have happened, but when they happen, it's because of good leadership, steady leadership, and i'm proud to have worked close, shoulder-to-shoulder with supervisor cohen, with her staff, because she has been passionate about getting -- passionate and patient. because we have had stores here before. we've talked about the dream of having people more healthy in this neighborhood. and we have never forgotten that. so kind of like what we're always doing in the bay view, it is new, but it's really fulfilling an old promise for people who have lived here for generations. promised that you will be part of a city and you'll be healthier and all have more
