where a larger number of buildings together form the sparrow or market street of san francisco. they'll work with each other by size and floor plate and a certain amount of ornamentation artfulness and dinner some fell into an architectural style which at that time determined there were similarities between open and closed. it was an artful use of materials. there was a restrained craftsmanship which was very strong in pieces and yet very powerful when a kind of created what many of them are back log buildings they do not compete as much and i think this building competes with historic context. that's my be the biggest criticism of this building >> do think the june 16 version with those other versions go meet use of materials breaking it up etc., can actually work? as context

because width no. i don't think subject i believe the challenges the department choses and the discussions i had denied informal off the record discussions just about architecture with some other people in the department just deal with on detail and emphasis which is less than emphatic than what we see you. it does not have to be as aggressive or loud of building as it is. there are good parts about it when you put them into a large of a quantity they become overbearing. he . >> one last question. because we have two commissioners that were at the june 1626 it is her building in the city that reminds you of the building i could reference because look at this on these little a .5 x 11 is hard for me. i really don't like the september version. is

everything we don't want it to be. >> there is one building, if the building of similar scale. we have no buildings of this size at this height anywhere in downtown on market street but [inaudible] did a beautiful building on pacific which we approved and we were all specifically on pacific and jack's. that's a lovely go get that building is just so strong and its skillfulness and what it does, again to street [inaudible] two different environments would uses on the subject i can only think of that building of been really good example of how to design a modern building and the projects in this particular street of jackson street and stewart jessica do a good job >> do you think today we get this project through which i would like to, we could send it to as you said the small working group a couple of commissioners the project

sponsor mr. joslyn, director ramp to make it moving more towards what you just said? this one up on pacific? >> i'm using the pacific street as an example with this building should look at good i'm using as an example of >> it works. it works. okay. >> but i do believe that since this project has already been discussed for three years is that what you said mr. joslyn >>[inaudible] [off mic] there may be a little that of a disconnect here between some of the people who are talking to each other. that's all i can say. i would not be-i do not [inaudible] >> given that i want to move to approve the building. >> is there a motion

>> can i ask a question of the motion please commissioner hillis. i heard you say about the water but i do not hear and of the other issues raised by staff. is that part of your motion? >> of the approve the ordinance as proposed. just with the change. they look at the value-maybe we could clarify the other recommendations. >> commissioners, there are four proposed amendment to the ordinance. two of which you bespoke it is specifically today. the first being the gray water requirements and the recommendation from staff that waiver be eliminated. from the ordinance. he second being the

clarification that $1.8 million is the correct figure that would be paid in connection with the jobs housing linkage fee. that is the fee that appears in the ordinance despite the actual calculations. we are recommending 1.8 declare five is the correct figure. the remaining two are more technical but they are important. the first being that the ami's unsightly area median incomes for the off-site units be consistent between the two off-site options currently the ordinance is silent on one. we think that the drafting or recipient the final recommendation was that skate - excuse me - simply that we make the technical adjustments to the ordinance such that the project under either option is indeed required to participate

in one of the afford of housing options. currently, it is not required to. we would urge to adopt all four but of course commissioners, this is your decision. >> i take the last two that i think the first to get caught up in the issue of whether-what the value of that exemption is good because of its 1.7 million, i think this is we've made a trade-off with the ordinance with the ordinance is making a trade-off of some requirements for a more affordable housing and off-site alternative. so it's hard to look at the specifically and pick off one or two and change them without changing the entire package. so i take the recommendations on the last two and stick with my recommendation to look at the value of the potable water exemption. that value isn't

that 3.5-$5 million. i figure of the supervisors going back and look at some these other tweaks to recapture that. and make sure that is equivalent to the inclusionary fee or the inclusionary on-site fee. >> follow-up thought that >> no i'm thinking- >> i will second the motion >> commissioner jonathan >> [inaudible] >> director rahm >> if they've commissioners decide to move ahead become a discussion on the design and recognizing that i think the primary concern is if i could on this issue and the design issue was relationship to the tenderloin more than i think to be fair within the relationship on market street. it was the scale of the tenderloin and want to make sure that scale was properly address. so having

said that, there's lots we can do it the commission chooses to move ahead to get the design in a form that commissioners will are more comfortable with >> thank you. commissioner richards >> i like to recommend amending the motion to include mr. jeff joslin's suggestion of the entryways.. he had i think articulated very well. >> okay if it is acceptable. >> commissioner jonathan >> okay, sorry. if it does look like this is good to go back for some sort of subsequent review the decision tonight i would enter into my thoughts that i do think the design as propose which is what were talking about because i think would talk about september and june [inaudible] i think it works well. if you walk along market street that night 50 block nine are block right now, the articulation comes the variation in the

storefronts have different banners but you take those away it is one of long two-three-story building all the way up to the theater. i think this does a good job writing some articulation providing some interest and what can happen on the street level really depends what you do with the retail spaces. in terms of occupancy and what is there. unless about the design could i would actually have some restraint on that in those subsequent conversation. >> commissioner hillis >> we often can't talk about what the building looks like but most people experience it to your point commissioner moore, use. city hall on this to get it feels monolithic. it's a great design building if you step back and look at it but there's not a lot on the ground floor whereas if you walk around the flood building you don't get that same feeling because it's broken up into retail opponents. the ground floor tends to be what the most important of the buildings. >> commissioners, there's a

motion seconded and i'm not sure i got the entire motion correctly. so i'll let you restate what my understanding is that the motion seconded to who approve the project with conditionswith staff modifications to the planning code amendment recommending only the ami for off-site be consistent and to for it to be required in participate in affordable housing component >> and the board look at the value concurrence with the door potable water exemption. >> as proposed by staff? >> it in the ordinance. when they value that in the ordinance. so he was to look at the value of the graywater components >> the graywater component

>> commissioners, if i may commissioner hillis did you also want to address the jobs housing linkage fee in that >> the entire aspect. just the value of the non-potable water exemption is $1.7 million. i think the board is going to make not make tweaks to the new. it's 3.5 or $5 million, they are likely to. >> so we are talking out the ami to be consistent, the graywater issue, and then the affordable housing component. as those three recommendations staff modifications >> and the planning code amendment >> i think with the commissioner is saying that he's not exactly pick up staffs recommendation on the great water. with the job housing

linkage. basically recommending the board should look at the value of those two items considered that in their final [inaudible] >> right >> so the potable water great water issue you're just recommending the board of supervisors continue looking at it? >> and value that exemption >> understood. so commissioners- >> the amendment on the ground floor entryways >> i was just referring to the planning code amendment. as far as the commissioner use authorization the dozen project authorization >> the droning was because of variances. were adding the condition that staff and projects on to continue working on the design including stats recommendations regarding the entryways. >> we want that to be part of the motion not part of the recommendation of the working group. >> as a condition of approval. conditions of approval are to continue working on design and

conditioning the entryways >> right. as mr. joslyn outlined >> if i may can you clarify that were talking about defining the june 2016 designs we got some direction? we want to conclude this design exercise quickly and not start from scratch i think the motion june 2016 design was a starting point to further refine >> that was my intent >> commissioner mcnamara >> could you clarify one more time is what are not the commission is supporting 20 departments recommendations on those items are there only >> there are only two that the motion as i understand it are being recommended to be modified the planning code amendment. he was anti- >> the evaluation is a

recommendation for the board to look at >> i don't understand why this commission is not capable of taking a stage and were only making a recommendation.the supervisors can themselves figure out as to whether not they need to [inaudible] but i personally find it very unusual that we are deferring the decision when were asked to take a stand. there is nothing of our skin to make a recommendation to support what the department is recommending. that's not to say to be plenty of time to do the calculation at the board and their legislative aides to come up with a new recommendation indecision which is ultimately made in the board of supervisors but if we cannot even agree on supporting staff then i'm not quite sure why we are not doing that. i was very clear that i really appreciate the strong benefits package and what supports it brings from the community. on the other hand, the very valid question asking who is really paying for the? i cannot move away from that assessment perhaps does

not have the [inaudible] what commissioner hillis is suggested that i believe as a commission we are asked to work with our own department as closely as again and bring something forward which the board has the privilege to reject and modify. >> commissioner hillis >> i share those concerns but again [inaudible] portions of the whole ordinance affect other portions of the ordinance. there are things that are just-were baked into this ordinance to provide more affordable housing good i think if you push on one there is a legitimate concern that the project sponsor may have with the community that they should reduce something else. i don't think i'm prepared to make that choice good idea for

affordable housing is a priority i think this ordinance prioritizes affordable housing by making some exemption to non-affordable housing requirement could i just question how date-if we value those good i think the board values him and they dug up it is always out that's great but if they don't it could be an opportunity to get more funding to fill the gap or maybe less. i just don't know the data >> can we be clear what we are trying to do so when you just that would be in excess perceived value was at 1.7, should be considered the capture of? that's what your intent is? >> sure. i think also moly they are trying to have the value of the proposed ordinance equaled the value of the current inclusionary on-site requirements. to the extent they're not valued equal there should be some recapture of that. >> that make sense

>> commissioner melgar >> we've talked about this a lot. just to chime in because i'm somewhat familiar with affordable housing thing. the land dedication is something we've not used so much whereas inclusionary we have a framework for valuing the difference between market rate and affordable. there's a framework. with this one it's been hit or miss when we used it in my opinion. so i do think that putting a value that does allow us to compare apples to apples-i actually liked that idea. i also i'm a little bit afraid of these one offs things that allow for developers to

not meet their full obligation because we have not quite figured it out how to value things. so whereas i do support with the staff was going with this i also think it is especially because we have not really fully baked the framework to allow for these valuing in understanding what were you are getting when we are doing [inaudible] i think your motion is good. >> commissioner richards >> can we rephrase it to what commissioner hillis said is the intent. anything valued what we currently would've got under the existing regulations would recommend it be recaptured somehow. that would be the intent of what we are trying to say. >> director rahm or sorry mr. johns and >> sorry just want to check in this discussion about june versus september schemes for the civic reason is that part

of what i heard in the making of the motion was that it was understood part of that cleaning was an understanding that was the architects preference. that's not what i think i heard here. we had staff at a very specific set of reasons for pushing it in a different direction and specifically to do that contextual response with acknowledging this site has an obligation [inaudible] tenderloin and market which is a gateway to both as well as having this other esteemed neighbor, the work feels just a graphic relation to. that's what drove those decisions. it's part of what how we got there together. i guess i would simply suggest that perhaps it's worth a quick check in with the design team before

locking in a scheme that day as well as we will wait from quite a while ago. also, given i heard roughly 50-50 split on that tendency on the part of the commissioners. >> if i may come i just went to clarify. we worked hard to get toour preferences the june scheme. that's what the other is a little heavy-handed. we like the preference of the june scheme gives us. again to address commissioner richards, and we had a choice to go back it would be great to

incorporate more of the june 2016 scheme into the design >> i agree. width commissioner richards >> i guess these commissioner moore's point, do you feel you can be skillful in our: up to understand the impact of the design in the tenderloin however use some elements of the june design to still make it more skillful and playful but still respect where it is sitting? does that make sense? bind it to but combining the two solutions, somehow. color and texture? >> meeting halfway between the two would be tricky. i think the strength of the june concept was that it was a strong concept. it was a very bold statement that we try to make. chopping it up or trying to introduce other elements it's a common device and we've used it before. i think this is an instance where we try to limit that,, those devices or try to limit [inaudible]

>> commissioner moore >> i would refer the commission to listen to the department both mr. jocelyn who very well summarize the challenges that the department has posed and i consider them to be correct and i do believe that dir. rahm stance with the department as a starting position and in deposition there are number of things they can't change but to go all the way back to an unsolvable situation which is been tossed awake around for years i think is completely counterproductive and is not the support we 02 the department in this particular battle. >> if i may commissioners, in order to move this along, perhaps the best thing to do is not referred to either scheme. i don't hear any concern from the commissioners about the mass and the height of this building. i think i would

suggest that you leave that open to for further discussion and then i would specifically suggest you include that commissioners,, that to commissioners be involved in these discussions so we can resolve this and the subsequent discussion and i would suggest it's not critical to refer to either scheme at this point. do we simply have this discussion as we move toward understand the mass in the bulk of the building will not change >> agreed. i think that's a great suggestion >> [inaudible] >>we can't spend another year doing that. >>[inaudible] [off mic] >> right. because we really believed in passionate about design and architecture think

we need to let the architect create something interesting. it's a concept that needs to stand. when you look at each city block in each architect has an opportunity to great something interesting for it. otherwise if we cut it up the building into smaller sections in every box looks the same. each block. we want to create interesting architecture for san francisco. we want to draw their attention so this is an opportunity for us to be bold to do something interesting for the city and that is my plead, please >> i mean i am comfortable with the motion standing at the start import as the june 2016 scheme. i don't know with the commission's preference is good again, i go back if you look at this rendering, 3.2, which shows the kind of building that is before us with the articulated to building schemes

, i still don't see that kind of responding to the more fine grained 8-10 different buildings of similar architecture on the other side on the north side of that building should i get the need to articulate i can i get the need to have a strong breakup of the ground floor but i'm not sure that does with all due respect to the architect and department, does what we think we are intending to do. so i'll ultimately been the director sam but start with the june 2016 [inaudible] >> secondary agree with that? okay. commissioner johns and okay. >> there's a motion seconded. shall i call the question? >> one other thing i would encourage the project sponsor

to work with lgbt community to make a historic district realize. that's all. i think that is an easy one. thank you >> okay. there is a motion seconded to adopt a recommendation for approval with modifications to the planning code amendment accepting two of the status of recommendations recommended modifications regarding adm and the requirements which is an affordable housing component. that is the intent on the other the current inclusionary valuations. captured. that the commission conditional use authorization be approved with conditions that the sponsor continue working with staff on the design with the june 2016 being the starting point. as well as including staff's recommendations regarding the entryways that was expressed at the hearing and that the

downtown project authorization be approved with conditions get on a motion commissioner hillis >> just want to clarify, i think the new the existing regulations that community benefits package, the bottom line is proposed exceeds the bottom line the existing would have been that we asked they look at me capturing that. total community benefits with the gray water and affordable housing thing. something may change between now and then should let's leave it open. >> very good. for the total community benefit valuation. on a motion commissioner hillis aye johns and get koppel aye melgar aye moore nay richards aye fong aye so move. that motion passes 6-1 with commissioner mcnamara voted against >> >>[applause] >>

>>[gavel] >> good evening and welcome back to the san francisco planning commission regular hearing for thursday, november 17, 2016 i like to remind members of the public to these silence your mobile devices. commissioners we left off on a regular calendar. items 18 a - excuse me - a through their hotel and 19 a through fc numbers 2010 sunnydale: sf

master plan project environmental findings. the findings of consistency. general plan of minutes then encode amendment design standards and guidelines, development agreements, and shadow findings. as well as for case number 2010.0515-for the potrero hope sf master plan project general plan amendment, planning code amendment design standard guidelines development agreement, and shadow findings. you've heard several informational presentations on this matter. >> thank you. >> good evening present fong numbers of the commission a matt snyder departments that

finally here before you for approval of legal as a project with sunnydale and potrero. as you heard you love about exactly 14 approvals before you tonight and i will walk you through each of them. before i do a money handed over to feel miller director of the whole sf and then we lit that's the office of economic and workforce the moment not be back up. thank you. >> good evening chris. good evening mr. pres. and mr. director good pleasure and privilege woman movies decided have exacted the last few hours i tremendous respect for your interest resilient should all be very brief. the dapper oh because sonny dale sunnydale ever drove in a labor of love >> do you like to horse of them are speakers >> i'm not to comment but thank you very much good just to read through quick points.

i'll do this very very briefly. three things i want to say. number one on here on half of the mayor of the mayor's office and most importantly we have about 5000 individuals residence many who were here earlier today park and rec many them were not able to stay and hope sf is this amazing collective impact initiative that comprises so many different organizations agencies include of you guys and you had many informational sessions. the second thing i want to say on behalf of mayor jim eight wedding is on his weight is way to pittsburgh who broken public housing from is nothing more important to them than this initiative in many ways we are preparing a wrong that is been a blight on our city for decades. so i'm energized to be a. i know it is late but this incredible incredible moment for this. to want to thank you for your partnership and for your leadership in this. i really

won't go over these principles and details. i will be here for any questions. i will just say that our theory with hope sf and we have seen a bear to with alice griffith and hunter 0 to 3 transform community, if we transform these disconnected isolated communities of concentrated poverty a mixed income neighborhoods and poorly, we do it with the residents should we take in intentionality to community building, community leadership resident services are most important in some ways the housing, the built environment that will transform the lives of the 5000 and transform the lives of folks to come those neighborhoods. this is no longer want to the other side of potrero when the quote" swanson sunnydale with these are vibrant and amazing communities, resilient committees already but fiber and committees to come and visitation value picture. without all handed over to my colleague to go to the details of how to start and emphasize how important this is to the city and mayor ed thank you for

your partnership over the years .. >> good evening commissioners. we will test with the office of economic and workforce development. i first want to express the sports for these projects of supervisor cohen. she introduced most of the legislation before you tonight. she and her aides cannot be here this late but they do want me to reflect their enthusiastic support for these projects. i also as the oh so dumb i want to note the many residents that were here to sport the project and had to speak but on ford's lincoln not stay. so we are really grateful they made the effort to come out. i will also attempt to be brief but we are all here much of the city staff is here to answer any questions you may have but the very lengthy documents in front of you. first i want to mention a key partner in this project are the san francisco housing authority is partnered with the city and our developers to achieve this vision. there are currently the land owner. they are the property manager and the federal funding partner for

these sites. they are signed to the development agreement and through that they will continue their role as the federal funding partners. they will also conduct various types of land dispositions. they will execute long-term ground leases for the affordable buildings that are constructed. they will sell the market rate parcels to third-party developers. and they will dedicate you load ways and utilities to the city. these land dispositions are outlined in a separate master development agreement which is a companion document to this deal. so the sunnydale start a star with sunnydale first of either a few slides on each project you've seen this before. as you can see the site is extremely isolated from the surrounding community and the

housing stock is an extreme state of disrepair. well past its useful life. sunnydale is located in visitation balloted its the largest public housing site in the city at 50 acres could currently it is home to 775 public housing residents households. so the master plan for sunnydale will be developed by a partnership of mercy housing and related california in partnership with the city. the master plan includes the fine-grained street network with new connections to the surrounding neighborhoods. a continuous street wall,, the addition for the first time of sidewalks, the trees, bike paths and enhanced muni bus access. in the northeast corner of the site in blue, purple, and red you can see the neighborhood of. these houses were will house number of community facilities childcare centers program open space, retail and health and wellness center. the development agreement before you today prioritize the primary public benefit of the project which is

a one-for-one replacement of the 775 households currently living on site with clean safe and new housing. permanent housing. the neighborhood will ultimately be mixed income. the development - excuse me - the developers obligated to construct about 200 additional new low income housing units on the site. additionally the project includes opportunities for about 600 market rate units of housing. also through the development agreement the developer will provide significant package of in-kind improvements. 3.6 acres of neighborhood open space. 13 acres of new roadways and utility infrastructure that totaled 60,000 ft.2 of community facilities that i mentioned earlier. in this diagram here i want to highlight the plan to mix up the affordable and market rate

parcels across the site. the goal here is to place both types of housing throat the site and create a more integrated community. the affordable buildings that are in red will be owned in manage by mercy and related with the market rate parcels will be sold and developed by third parties. just finally to touch on the phasing plan. now that we are here how we actually are going to implement this great project. project implementation, we are expecting to occur over 10-20 years. the development agreement includes a phasing plan that is purposely flexible in its timing and order of the development so that the project team can respond to federal and state funding opportunities, maintain existing services to residents who are still living on site waiting for their renovations to hit their

homes. most important, the phasing plan needs to be respectful of those residents currently living on site will be relocated into new housing in phase. you can see all those considerations reflected in the phasing plan at some of the crazy allies you can see here because obviously are working with the site were 775 households currently live. so right now we have the phasing plan broken into three major phases and nine sub phases. i also just want to point out the timeline shows here was made possible with the help of the passage of the 2015 prop but also general obligation on which provided $40 million towards this project and is hoped the city and project team accelerate the first phases. onto pretrade appeared perturbed

in next similar to study gail was constructed in 1940s. 38 acres currently housing 619 household. is in a similar state of disrepair is similarly isolated from the surrounding communities could there's no retail and no formal dedicated public open space on either side. the potrero master plan will be developed by bridge housing partnership with the city. again like sunnydale the master plan actually reconnects the site back to the street grid of the surrounding neighborhoods with a continuous street wall various building typologies and again the addition of sidewalks. on potrero this site seemed natural topography has been a bit of a design john. were flattening that as much as possible and actually the new neighborhood center which is shown on the right hand diagram with red highlights and blue is an accessible zone that we have created so that residents

with disabilities can actually access all the needed retail services. there will be bus stops to that area so we been really thoughtful but how we can do with the site topography. similar to sunnydale the development agreement bases primary emphasis on the 121 replacement of the 619 existing households. there will be an additional 200 low income afford all units built on the site and the project includes opportunities for about 800 units of new market rate housing. then the rest of the in-kind improvements made to include 3.5 acres of open space spread across the site, 13.5 acres of new roadways, utility infrastructure and transit connections. local serving retail and a 30,000 ft.2 community center with a recreational and cultural service outlets. so the potrero project phasing will hopefully be implemented over the course of the next 10 maybe 15 years.

like sunnydale the phasing timeline was able to be accelerated with another $40 million to the same general obligation bond passed last year. you can see here that the project phasing will start in both the south and north ends of the site. the fourth and fifth large phases are in the center. that is where the slope fits so it requires us to tackle that all at once. again the development agreement is a phasing plan that is flexible to respond to those topographical challenges and also be responsible and respectable the 619 household currently living on the site. i'm going to leave it at that and we are available for questions. i do turn back to matt. again i want to emphasize the board public private partnership nature of this project between the san francisco housing authority,, the city and the two nonprofit

photo housing developers. >> all right. so as you know this commission has certified both environmental impact reports. the sunnydale eir was certified in july of 2015 and then the potrero was done last december 2015. also in december for potrero we also adopted ceqa findings in general plan finds. you did that because we were ready to move on one of the blocks which we refer to as block x appeared at the southern - excuse me - southeastern most portion of the site. then you approved some for limitary resumes for that project. so for tonight what we are looking for you to do for sunnydale is

to the first action be to adopt the ceqa findings. ceqa findings of course include a statement of overriding considerations in the adoption of the mitigation monitoring reporting for him. he second item for you for the sunnydale project will be the adoption of findings of consistency with the general plan and with planning code section 101.1 which you do for all your actions of these pastoral general plan finds will be referred to in your subsequent actions and we also confuse these findings brought this project that we can refer back to for things like land that occasions a general plan referrals and the like. for both projects you will be adopting planning code text amendments. the text amendments will create new special use district for each of the projects. they are almost identical in structure. the special use district will provide special requirements for land use and then for some of the major building standard requirements within the districts but would defer much

of the actual standards to a separate design standards and guidelines document which wire will also talk about in just a minute. i should mention that the planning has now recommending some changes to the text as it was originally introduced by the board of supervisors. that is in your packets. the draft motion or resolution before you does acknowledge those changes and indicates that you are accepting of them. the changes were planning to clarify and make sure that there is consistency between the suv language and development agreements and also provided some provisions allow some interim or temporary uses that might be necessary as the project gets billed out. he second item for both of them will be map panning code map amendments which simply list the new special ways use

district on the [inaudible] the 40-660 height and bulk this. the third action is to approve the design guidelines - excuse me - design standards and guidelines document as i mentioned before, these will provide special provisions for building standards that are key to these unique sites. the design guidelines also provide provisions for the design of streets and open space and how they all interact together. finally-i mean not finally we have a couple more. at the fifth action now is to approve the development agreements and you heard a lot about that from lee. then the final one is to adopt findings from planning code section 295, which of course is the shadow ordinance. we were before the park and rec commission this morning. they passed a motion - excuse me -

and resolution that recommends or finds that there is no adverse to mitigate impacts of the project on potrero rec center for potrero and for origins of the clearing part specifically glenn eagle golf course and hurts playground for the sunnydale project recommending you make the same findings. i think that is it. i am here to answer any questions you have. members of most oewd the housing authority, project sponsors, and william pollock who is a master architect and the authors of the design standards and guidelines are also here in case you have questions for them as well. thank you. this concludes my presentation at >> thank you. «a project sponsor. >> this to project sponsor.

>> the project sponsor for sunnydale >> hi. my name is rainy darren project developer for mercy housing california and related california for the sunnydale hope is that development. we are so excited to be here today. as you know we've been working on this for i think eight years. so we are really appreciate you allowing us to reach this point. the sunnydale master plan reflects the golden ideas of the residence and our neighbors and as you heard, we did have a group bank of your day to speak but unfortunately they could not stay. but the residents are very excited about having this point in the developed and are just trying to figure out how can we move quickly. i want to give a shout out to the planning department for its partnership

over the years. the figure planning to carmen has been working on this as long as we have almost. do the ceqa process the ceqa hearing to sunnydale. working on that design standards and guidelines. working on how we can create processes that are streamlined but yet colder developers accountable as we try to implement the master plan over the next 10-15 years. we very much look forward >> good evening we are the master developer for potrero. we started our day at 9 am this morning. at the park and rec commission it was an inspiring meeting actually to hear. both residents spoke of their desire for this change and transformation and hear the reaction of the commissioners and the that meeting with the unanimous support from this park and rec commission. part of what was said by residents

and neighbors at that commission hearing and if you would hear if they were here tonight you would hear them say it's time. it's time to move this project forward. after eight years of community organizing participatory meetings outreach engagement focus groups, it is time to move this project forward. we have bridge housing are honored to be part of this initiative and very very excited to be taking this next step with you as the planning commission with our city agency partners. with our funders and lenders and most importantly with our resident partners at potrero [inaudible]. i'm here to answer the questions you may have and thank you for your consideration >> thanks. opening up to public comment if there's anyone here last?>>[calling public comment cards]width good

evening commissioners. and director rahaim. this is thrilling for the housing authority and for me. actually i've been with this process for the past eight years. it's been a dream of the housing authority and the residence to actually rebuild these sites that new housing for residents. when we started eight years ago it was right off the bat a collaboration between the city our developer partners, the community and most importantly our sunnydale and potrero residents. everyone has worked very hard to get to this point and we are really excited and welcome your approval of all the actions that you have to take tonight. this will truly transform the severely distressed and dilapidated public housing sites into two vibrant mixed income communities that will have new housing for residents and other of for the housing market rate housing community amenities,

open space, and is just really exciting for us. i think you for hearing these items and hope that you will approve them. thank you. >> thank you. >> again corey smith on behalf of the san francisco housing action coalition and kudos to everyone involved for eight years. we are in sport >> thank you. any additional speakers on this item? >> i forgot why i came. >> i think we did, to >>[laughing] >> my name is fran martin

associate with the visitation valley greenway and visitation valley planning a letter we been supportive of new housing at sunnydale since 1999 when our community rated the planning to address when you sent transportation issues and visitation valley beginning with [inaudible]. historically our neighborhood has been systematically barred by the powers that be. sunnydale is a blight and on reputation of us city and a poster child for social injustice.

development at sunnydale do not want to hinder it going forward. at the same time we hope will be more attention paid to integrating it and surviving war permeability with mclaren park and [inaudible] as a project it spelled out in greater phases of construction. that can be easily accommodated when the time, spirit i urge you to support this project. it's been far too long for our neighbors to live and horrible substandard conditions. thank you. >> thank you. any additional speakers on this, these items? seeing none, public comment is closed. >>[gavel] >> commissioner moore >> this project has been so strong for so long practically no change in the staff. layering the information. informing us all along. there's not even a single question i have because everything has been said. editing has been laid out. everything is as solid as it possibly it could be and it's a project which obviously no question with

support from anybody anyway. i can only be delighted we are here. another good holiday present. i'm very supportive of it and hope we will approve all the various aspects which are in front of us. the only one question i would like to ask him and this would be to the person representing the housing authority, this is a question i've asked ms. hartley on another project just about an hour ago. are you for seeing any possible changes in direction from our newly constituted pending reformation reconfiguration in washington dc which would affect what we're trying to do here? >> actually were very optimistic. we are to have our disposition applications into hud pick worldly to have them

approved very quickly. we been working with hud and that will actually give us the connection we need to all of the subsidies for the affordable units. >> would that be before january? >> that's what we are expecting, yes >> [inaudible] >> kate, you may want to-our partners from ocd since we have been working closer with the mayor on this. >> kate hartley. so just like were very concerned. hud staffs is very concerned, too. the key to this project is something called section 18 approvals. the housing authority and sponsors submitted their applications and i heard from hud staff that they are trying to push them forward very quickly. usually they take much longer time and he did give me a two-week time frame. he said

don't hold me to that and don't tell anyone. so for the record >>[laughing] for the record were hoping to get back in two weeks. where is the camera? no. >>[laughing] they support the project. there's great stuff behind us. they want this to succeed. we may see a diminishment of federal resource. [inaudible] are especially at risk in this section a program which will be the key to this program is the strongest program. it houses millions and millions of people, banks all over the country rely on its. so we think that is something that will continue on well. and that would be the key to this project. >> thank you. i hope we can approve that in the next 5 min. >> commissioner johnson >> i can get off with a motion i would just say them excited to see this. i am also excited.

we had that pier 70 project come to us a couple weeks ago and i was heartened to hear the looks of some options for temporary housing on the project site. i know that was a major issue where are the people going to live what were doing all the phasing. so i'm going to look commissioner hillis did you want me to do a motion? all right. let's get it. do we need to do sunnydale and potrero separately? >> it's entirely as you wish. if there are provable as is you can approve all them together. >> altogether. >> they were both called together >> i'd like to make a motion to approve all of the necessary approvals. do i need to say them? >> i got it. >> okay >> second. >> one question. member of the public wrote us about potrero

project and i'll ask ms. hartley were project sponsor and the concern they had was in the advent of moving forward with driverless cars, ride sharing bus services connecting to the rest of the city why the need for one for one parking get just a question. i support the project but why do we have one to one parking moving into the future? >> doug just said don't screw it up. i'm been a try to not screw it up >> i'm going to vote, yes so answer honestly >> so the zoning consisted of the citizens provide the maximum ones one parking. we have not-we do not anticipate what one apartment in fact we work with sfmta eight under transportation demand

management plan which of those goals which are far lower than once one parking but there are requirements both for the affordable housing development and more poorly for the market rate developers to reduce parking supplied there were to be the root quadrants of that plan. so we've added address that >> great. you do not screw it up >> commissioner hillis >> i want to congratulate everyone involved your we've seen many large-scale projects even a small deck set up more controversy than this. obviously it's in a complex environment where you have residents and urine existing neighborhoods and building within them. so it's a testament to you all and all the works that gone into this. that we are here today and for us it's an easy job to approve this but thank you all for your work >> thank you. director rahaim >> visit to our knees were the biggest projects to be approving in a very long time have no opposition. they have

this great sport so i think that's pretty incredible. if i could besides thanking everyone involved would do a shout out to matt snyder is been involved for years and years and done an incredible- >>[applause] incredible attention to detail on this link obviously many many people in this room have a lot to do is that i want to recognize all the residents were here earlier were not able to say that were here to tell them how much they want to make this happen, they supported this. i would make sure we have a shout out to them as well. they do all. >> commissioner johnson >> director rahaim set up for me but least one commissioner people sitting outside residents come for the park and rec commission try to waited out as we struggle to the last item for hours are long that was. they were super friendly. they were super excited to be here. i spoke to a couple of them and i'm sad we were not able to get them on the record here tonight but i want to acknowledge they are here. huge

accomplishment >> commissioner moore >> i'd like to give a shout out to the architect who did a stellar plan [inaudible] and going back and forth in the beginning and standing by the project. >> commissioners, there's been a motion seconded to adopt environment so findings in an overriding consideration adopting findings of consistency, a recommendation for approval for general plan amendment, recommendation for approval to the planning code amendment by design standards approval, development agreement recommendation for approval and findings adopting shadow finance. on that motion commissioner hillis aye johnson aye koppel aye melgar aye moore aye which is aye the

motion passes unanimously 6-0. >>[applause] >> commissioners, that will place us on items 20 a and b for items 2016 conditional use authorization zoning administrator will consider case number 2016-001512 at the same address. please, note on august 4, 2016 after hearing this matter in closing public comment you continue this matter indefinitely. at that time, commissioners melgar and koppel you were not seated. commissioner johnson and fong

were both absent. my understands commissioner koppel and melgar have not been able to review the previous hearing but commissioner johnson, you have. which will leave us with the quorum of four required for this. commissioners koppel and melgar you're welcome to stay be happy with jews participate in the hearing itself were active on the matter >> we need a motion to recuse both commissioner? can i entertain a motion? >> second. >> think. on a motion to recuse commissioners koppel and vanover hillis aye johnson aye koppel aye melgar aye moore aye richards. thank you that motion passes unanimously 6-0. speed is good evening house and bank departments that. the item before you is a conditional use

authorization request without the renovation of a two unit building can't allow to demolition and the development of residential units and a density of one unit per every 1500 ft.2 of lot area. the scope of the project has changed since the commission last observed it in august. the project sponsors no longer proposing a merger of the two existing dwelling units and said is proposing to reconstruct the two dwelling units approximately the same location. as it existed and then expand and convert the garage into the new third dwelling units. a variance is required for the additions and conversion of the detached garage into a dwelling units as the garage is a noncomplying structure in the rear yard. since the august hearing the planning department has received one letter of support so for a total of 35 letters of support of the project. with

that said the department finds the project necessary desirable and compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods as will result in an increase of one dwelling units on the property. the two units we've replaced with units of comparable or larger sizes. the density and massing of the replacement buildings is in keeping with the development pattern of the neighborhood and on the residents being displaced. this includes staff presentation. i'm happy to answer questions at the project sponsor is also here to answer any questions. thank you >> thank you. project sponsor. >> good evening commissioners get my name is richard miller. i am the property owner and project sponsor. i bought the property in the process began about 2.5 years ago. i recognize it as vacant and run down an opportunity to create quality housing. i've done this a number of times over the past 10 years or so finding obsolete

rundown sometimes vacant properties. modernizing them make them comfortable make them desirable and that's what my intention was with this project as well. as ms.---said we've altered the proposal to rebuild the existing two units, plus, add a third units in the structure that is currently the garage building. we look forward to adding the units good i'm very familiar with the neighborhood. i live just a 10 min. walk away. i spend every morning at corona heights park with a group of neighbors who have become friends could i talk to a lot of neighbors. i have not heard any opposition to the project. as a matter of fact one neighbor was here

earlier and asked me to present a letter to the commission from him supporting the project. i have been in the city many years. i don't property since 1977, renovated my own homes and other properties in the city, and hope to do that again this time. certainly available for any questions and i want to turn it over to william-of the pelosi [inaudible] >> good evening just want to be real quick. closing law group representing the project sponsor and just want to say we have revised the application and with this revision we took the project does meet the standards the criteria for the demolition and city housing

policies and freeways. one, were adding a third unit and storing the existing two and journaling the same location at the project doesn't displace any temp. was vacant when purchase is been owner occupied for 40 years prior and the second unit had been as far as we know not rented for at least 10 years. finally it's doing its infill location that's consistent with the neighborhood and in general same massing and adding a third unit. with that i hope you would approve it. i give a little information a letter i sent you and i like to turnover to our architect to talk about the design a bit. >> good evening commissioners director rahaim,-we worked about eight years on several projects and i will quickly refresh her memory of this current project. looking down

on the lot from above you can see the two buildings existing bottom left. it is the two units residential structure upper right is the garage structure. the blue nine represents the setback line and upper left in the drawing is that rise. [inaudible] as it exists. that's two off street parking spaces that we intend to maintain two off street spaces will be one of them into the two units dwelling which is at the bottom of this diagram. over all, are extensions of the buildings are modest. the front two unit building generally within the setback fall within the setback, they windows, light well and filled in this is an existing photo did well it was existing a while ago. looking at the property from a

crossroads the garage building bottom left of residential upper right and superimposed on top of that are the expansions to the garage building to mimic the overall language of the existing two unit building. the one parking space will remain in the garage building and one parking space will be moved to the two unit dwelling. this is the garage and its immediate context and the addition of the glowing unit on top same thing with the two unit building on roosevelt and the addition minor additions and rearrangement of t façade elements. >> thank you. opening up to public comment. any speakers for this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. >>[gavel] >> commissioner moore >> it's a rather large site because it has to frontages. it

almost look at it it's intentional. if the law were subdivided would've one building on 15th i think is the address and the other one would be on was about. given the constraints on the side of the rear yard their hands while the variance i don't use consequential because the building itself holds itself way within that of dividing line of you joining why not 15th should get i think it's a good project. and i'm in full support of its tiered >> i led the charge way back when i think i can either member on this project because of the demolition some alteration permits. working on be defining what demolition is so that's really crystal clear.

if all the architects come in and talk like that going into departments with members of the planning department trading one set of definitions for both organizations so that it even simpler. i think a valuable lesson learned here is if there's a doubt on what it is ask. i support this. rate cuts of occasion were reducing the parking ratio. it's contextual. it's great. so good job. think good commissioner hillis >> moved to approve width seconds the was on a motion, to approve this matter with conditions from hillis aye johnson aye moore aye richard's aye so moved that motion passes unanimously 4-0. sony administrator, would save >> i will close the variance hearing and [inaudible] >> thank you. commissioners that are placed on the item 21 per case number 2015-011529 2525 16th st. this is an office development allocation. >> good evening commissioners

kimberly-planning department staff. you have before you a request for an office development authorization and 2525 16th st. located on the southern side of 16th st. between florida and alabama street. within the production and distribution and repair one general zoning district. n/a 68 height and bulk district. authorization for allocation of office space is required pursuant to planning code section 179.1 221 and 322. the project proposes to allow the legal conversion of 43,569 gross square feet of industrial or pdr used to office. the proposal is utilizing planning code 179.1 which is the legitimization of uses which

was a time-limited program offered to property owners who were affected by the user neighborhood zoning control in 2008. the program provided property owners to legalize existing uses that would no longer be allowed such as office but were previously permitted and had been operating without the benefit of a permits. the zoning administrator determine the propose office space of 43,569 screws square feet to be eligible for legalize nation under this program in january of 2016. the project also includes installation of 10 class i and two class to bicycle parking spaces, showers, lockers will be located on the fourth floor. no exterior alterations are proposed in all work will be done as tenant improvements. during that the public the department has received approximately for inquiries regarding the proposal. the department recommends approval for the following reasons. the project maintains existing pdr uses within the building.

preserves historic resource. complies with applicable planning code requirements. represents an allocation of 4% of the small-cap office currently available for allocation. it also authorizes -sorry - excuse me - the requested authorization will require the least office spaces to continue their economic activity and the project will to generate fees that will benefit the city. and it is consistent with the planning code missionary plan and the general planted that concludes my presentation thank you i am available for questions >> thank you very much. project sponsor. >> good evening commissioners

rick gladstone rubbers in the building owners. this legitimization program you just heard about was actually a concept from one of the building owners, victor-many years ago when she asked me to get involved in and which was then brought to the commission and the board and unanimously approved as part of the eastern neighborhoods. esther veblen proposes legislation because he learned the planning department would not recognize the validity of many of the alteration permits for office that he and his business partners had obtained starting in the 1950s for conversion of the warehouse suite by suite two office. what is being converted is only about a third of the building into thirds of the building will remain what it is today as pdr. as you

know, when he received those permits office was allowed as a matter right as was industrial. no longer true today. one example of his concerns was because some building permits and shown you one of them, this is the talk page-but the most important is the back of the page where you see the box commonly signed off by planning -there you go-this box from planning has initials of a planner that i don't know who it is, but the upper boxes approved, but not all permits were this clear, my new but this is one of the clear ones that it was approved but the zoning administrator is taken the position that because there was an further language in here indicating it had we been thoroughly looked at, that the

zoning administrator chose not to recognize that is about permits and hence because permits like this we have the legitimize it should program for this particular building. anyway my client was concerned about that. he asked me to draft legislation that after much compromise and meeting with the eastern neighborhoods concerned about pdr we worked out a gym i stationed legislation. which is what we have in the code today. of course, this program allows owners who thought they were getting the right permits before the zoning change to allow pdr too now actually have those permits finally at knowledge by the planning department and by your commission. like all the

legitimize nation buildings this produces a good deal of fees for the city. this particular building as you can see in the overhead produces over 525,000 in fees of which 87,000 crossley goes to transit in that. about 370,000 goes to the job housing linkage feet and about 68,000 goes to the childcare fee. because many of these office uses a been in the neighborhood for decades and because of that he program it's been nice to see that the community has generally not opposed these office which in my stations. to our knowledge no letters of opposition or cause the coming just up as up-to-date just several in. it's important to know your client - excuse me - your staff did two conference of site visits this year with

photographs and they confirmed there is no planned conversion of any existing pdr in the building to office as a result of this approval. as stated in your staff report the office uses have existed in this building without complaint from either pdr tenants in the building were neighbors. your staff check that with the planning department enforcement division and staff correctly has told you today that it feels the office legitimization program shows no incompatibility with existing pdr tenants or with existing uses including pdr surrounding the building. we agree with the staff report statement that the approval would quote augment public service through the payment of the various development and pack fees. as you see your it's about $525,000. i was one point out there's a great need for office space users of the kind that

exist in this building today. 7500 ft.2-15,000 ft.2. should the approval not be granted those office tenants there today would have to vacate of course and the good news is when these office tenants may vacate on their own accord it brings back into the market some much needed smaller office space. outside downtown. this kind of space given the configuration and the floor plans attract the kind of office tenants that we don't see downtown. you will not find here insurance companies, law firms, commercial brokers, out-of-town corporate office. mainly small business starting out and businesses with the needs for smaller square footage. again the existing

office tenants who spaces would be legalized by you tonight are small business who been displaced otherwise and one example and a good example of one of the office tenants that the city would not want to displace from here is called event management. his better known as the calls catering and if any of you been to any of the big events in city all but the one tonight you probably have to dump their being catered by the calls catering known as events management. the office in this building is office space and sample china, sample glassware that the customers take a look at the for they get put into the fancier events and the importance of that location for their office and their display is that their kitchen the pdr uses right across the street. of course, convenience. lastly, the site is in a special kind of pdr disappeared this is the

only pdr district in the city which is called the special use retail pdr district and it was done to create more retail space on the street. this is important corridor 16th st. which will connect mission bay hospital and the mission and opposed? we value as an important transit line and the idea was encourage more retail in the pdr on the ground floor. we believe that the continuation of often space here will continue to encourage that retail to grow and expand on this special retail corridor pdr. this site has great location for transportation point of view. it's on the 16th st. bus line. with the city plans an enormous improvement to make transportation between mission bay and the mission much much

better. with the strict prop m limits it you have for spaces of 50,000 and greaterthere is prediction in jobs may be concerned therefore jobs under 50,000 represents an important safety valve for the city that can allow job growth to continue notwithstanding the constraints that the large-cap prop m program has. thank you very much. if you have any questions please 11thank you very much mr. gladstone. any commenters on this item from the public? seeing none, public comment is closed. >>[gavel] >> if commissioners can raise her hand because were having technical issues. commissioner moore >> from the last time. >> commissioner mar

>> commissioner mar >> since his father comes in under the convention and everything is cleared when the department i personally do not have any objections because the program of legitimizing was set up a number of years ago and had particular timelines and for this project has followed all of those oh i would take staff's recommendation to approval with conditions >> second >> if there's nothing further commissioners, there is a motion seconded to approve this matter with conditions. on a motion hillis aye johnson aye koppel aye melgar aye more muscat richards got so moved that matches passes 6-0. commissioners that are places under your discretion or review calendars. per item 22 case

number 2016-002784 at 301 place to get this is a mandatory discretionary review. >> good evening commissioners. the cost of department staff. this item before you is a mandatory discretionary review request to establish a new medical cannabis dispensary on mcd for short doing business as natural green relief located 301 clay st. suite 597 otherwise known as embargo ctr., #1. project site is located in that she 30 project visited as well as the height and bulk this. subject looking on the south side of clay street north side of segments oh between front and battery in the financial district the insidious delivery on. this means only off-site distribution or sale. therefore the city would not be able to the general public at the project site and only employs registered with the department of public health would be at

the subject property on a day to day basis. no cannabis plants we cultivated on-site. additionally on-site medication medical cannabis would be permitted-- excuse me - meeting goal spoke in the late rising of consumption medical cannabis edibles would be permitted on. the project is not call for improvements in the existing office phase which measures only 66 ft.2 is a. no parking is required a new exterior improvements are part of this project. the closed hours of operation for the entity are seven days per week from 10 am-10 pm. project sponsor proposes using existing you security which is maintained 724-7 days a week of project funds are plans to hire three voice within the first year of operation. the medical cannabis act as approved by the board of supervisors and the mayor 20 but they're part of public health service at the lead agency for permitting and cities. generally the planning

departments review is limited to location and physical character. [inaudible] which out consider exercise discretionary review powders with the building sparrow subsection 202 e: one. we receive only one letter to the project but i already passed that out. the department records the commission take discretion review and approve the project for the following region distribution of medical cannabis would be delivery only so no on-site distribution sales. no cannabis plants we cultivated on-site. and the site is well served by public transit in the insidious neighborhood serving that complies with all standards and requirements of the planning code in of dances the objectives of the general plan. that concludes my presentation and am available for questions. >> thank you. >> project sponsor.

>> hello. my name is-owner of the collective. nonprofit llc as natural green relief and gr. i hold a small office in one of market are on the fifth floor is negligent or so smoking taking or on-site visits. i held a hearing brian invited the neighboring individuals as was the owners. i received nothing but positive remarks. from there i was and granted a letter of authorization from the building manager after sending him my business plan. again as nick mentioned there's on-site security patch and see card key cards given on the ground floor the security guard going prior to going all. is also security at the front desk with the secretary. on the couple people visit me by lawyer and my cpa. i collective is very small. only 20 people which were referred to by

medical practitioners. nutritionists as well as chiropractors were also part of the collective and friends. the driver are also part of the collective so we are all communing we know each other. anyone entered as somebody new is then pre-much welcome and by the driver of the first transaction of the medicine. because i'm a delivery service i'm able to have my medicine be more affordable kit i don't have the overhead of brick-and-mortar in san francisco. i am able to provide edibles and concentrates more so than flowers. also provide an educational service on strains as forms of ingestion and applications. safety and operation so once the reference comes in - excuse me - was zero programs and the patient has been verified after providing a

california id doctor's recommendation. since the driver and most likely the new member of the collective are first introduced to another this transaction is done at the convenience of their home. the drivers also quipped with a body camera came in a doctor's recommendation along with a copy of the nonprofit articles california ids federal tax id indolence licensure drivers also have good driving record, car insurance no medication while working. parking in legal research is a drive circuit we also don't have logos on the vehicle as was on their person. once the member of the collectives are introduced to one another no more than an ounce is part of the transaction. which is part of safety requirements. not having more than an ounce obviously would be seen as was trafficking so i like it keep it in small doses. so the drivers also of [inaudible] where they learn the safety and educational medicine that ata

is provided once they been verified and then additionally is provided by the driver upon arriving to the new member of the collective. drivers are also try professional. carla richardson no hostile piercings good all donations are put back into the business to cover the overhead of the business which includes where fees cpa as well as the rent of the office one additional method will be rolling out is all on payments which also provides us to move away from a cash business and also allows the board of equalization to document properly. my main model is quality not quantity you want to keep this very small in a niche group of individual individuals so i can operate safely in a profound manager always be the two questions >> thank you very much. open it up to the public could i have no speaker cards. any of the speakers in support or

against this item? >> good evening. my name is crystal gomez. i'm here to support and gr. a little brief history about my cell. i've had multiple surgeries and radiation which causes nerve damage and the rocky. so i've had to use traditional medicine for many years and unfortunately they've not help me at all actually and the side effects have been terrible. so i turned to and gr the last month or so and i have seen vast improvements and no side effects. i also feel that it's extremely convenience, the method of them come into my home. i'm actually busy with school and work so it just aches everything a lot easier for me in my very busy life. i feel it's a very safe way. the

delivery people of arden always been very hospitable and had no issues with the service so i am just here to give my support and hopefully they can continue to provide services for me and other patients that are looking for alternative medication. thank you >> thank you. any additional speakers on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. >>[gavel] >> commissioner moore >> i would like to ask mr. foster a question. the addition of 66 ft.2 with this application is is i assume a space within existing units? existing suites because the embarcadero itself the suites are actually not 66 ft.2. it's a contemporary building where the suites are basically mostly occupied by larger law firms.

etc. etc. it's a concert of building is been around since late 60s, 70s good i like to understand the 66 ft.2 because if there's three people working you have to stand upright with 22 ft.2 a purse. that's a little bit unusual. could you explain how that works bequest >> sure. this is an incredibly small spot is a windowless interior office suite that is backing the elevator bank in the essential core of the building. so it's envisioned to be the headquarters for this operation and employees up to three in the first year of operation would come to the office suite. the on deck, as discussed with the department of public health, the product actually has to be maintained on-site otherwise is not really actually in ncd but beyond that the employees come and go. his distribution own. the project

funds appeals that albeit 66 ft.2 is rather small, that's within their operating needs than we have no size limitation small or large. >> this is clearly unusual size. but this is an unusual floor plan. it's nothing but micro office. it's an unusual floor of the embarcadero market arrow center to start with >> i don't know habitable space for office use. you have to have windows? this 62 6 ft.2 is there a small and am wondering is whether not we've taken it also through those considerations which create workspace as a metric by which it's usable for that kind of thing. on all in support of the idea. i know the building is extremely conservative. i want to make sure that the space in self is not just the basement space where people have to be inside without access to light and air. i want the background

this is indeed a good workspace. >> i can speak to it the project sponsor view want me to opine a little more >> sure. it is almost a little bigger than a closet. >>[laughing] am able to open a sliding door. then there is a hallway. were obviously there's also neighboring offices as working premise like meeting ended. there is room up to two back-to-back office desks as well as simply my office and the beanbag behind me. that's pretty much it. the reason why i chose that location simply to keep costs low. on the overhead works within my budget and it's also a place where i'm able to facilitate and be private as well. since i'm able to take calls in his fund to e-mail. >> any other commissioners?

>> moved to approve >> second >> not take er. >> rashly moving to take yard and to oppose condition >> i moved to take er and approved with conditions >> did i hear seconds because seconds. on a motion to take er and approve this matter with conditions hillis got johnson aye koppel aye melgar aye moore aye richards got so moved that passes unanimously 6-0. places us on general the public for which i've no speak regards. >> other any speakers for general public, and? seeing none, the meeting is adjourned. >>[gavel] >>[adjournment] >> >> >>
