design here's a picture of just how that intercourt works i don't know if you've been up there that is nice a lot of landscape and foundations we wanted to do with one 20 is integrate that as you can see we started to carve the building to get breathing room although a property line a imaginary property line that is open than the property line indicates as shown here. >> here's a i simple reflex how that integrates into the space and again, this is an indication of hawthorne we did a sargent that is again not required bus the central soma plan is not in place but anticipating that and again working with the planning department we take into

consideration and here's do give you an idea how the inner court works this is a view here's the typical plans as previously talked about we we have from micro to three bedrooms and 200 and thirty units a combination of all those unite no parking on this site we're basically integrating retail on the empowering so you'll primarily active use the architecture fulsome as you may know the development across the street that was completed or under approval no 633 was completed a office building with a modern fleet and

631 up the street we have a much more contemporary style along fulsome versus hawthorne a much more punch window contextually facade here's an existing photo of fulsome street and this is what the building about look like our project is on the right on the left in the corner is the another development that was recently approved this is a view of hate ashbury as you can see the scale goes down a bit but 8 story buildings along the street as well and this is the implication of what you are building appears like we tried tried to use a punch system and create the setback on

top of and how it relates to the fulsome facade and how the building integrate. >> on the ground floor as mentioned that is 8 thousand 8 hundred square feet of retail use we've divided that up along hawthorne and located the residential lobby on hawthorne it is a more pedestrian like experience so that's where the lobby it in the entire building. >> and then those are two elevations of basically, the retail active use on both streets fulsome and hawthorne with that, i conclude the presentation. >> opening it up for public comment any any public comment

on this item. >> okay not seeing any, public comment is closed. >> commissioner moore. >> interesting building great to see the block finally completed and know that is under the same ownership i'm glad if so a europe way of presenting a courtyard other than other development projects i'm very happy to see that and i think the building shows a good diagram the diagram is sensitive and the integration of the block is extremely important it stand out in not providing parking especially, as today earlier and the only thing i'm concerned about it that hawthorne is unfortunately not what it should be a shortcut to the freeway that has exacerbated the

downtown construction and the breakdown of strvrt to 101 is a correct move to put the residential entrance into hawthorne particularly the preliminary corridors on fulsome and hawthorne i hope the city finds a way to calm traffic an hawthorne so it can be the remainder center the is intended to be i'm in full support of the project and move to approve. >> second. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> i want to say thank you very much for doing several things you didn't have to the setback when i first look at the address i thought here we go we had a project a lot push back it carries the europe feel as commissioner moore said that is great work and congratulations

i'm happy to support it oh, and the no parking amazing. >> commissioners to day with an errata the affordable housing language is based on the oldest template we ask you to amend the affordable housing and make reference to the charter amendment that was passed. >> i accept that as amendment to the motion. >> great commissioners, if there's nothing further, there is a motion there is a motion that has been seconded to approve with motions and amended by staff regarding the affordable housing template commissioner koppel commissioner melgar commissioner moore commissioner vice president richards and commissioner president fong in an amount unanimously 5 to zero and commissioners that places us under our

discretionary review calendar for case 2015 at 30th avenue this is a discretionary review. >> good evening washington southwest team alert the subject property locked on 30th avenue and this request is the originally skeleton to be heard in september but an inadequate notice posting by the project sponsor new notification was done as per department requirement this proposal is to large affordable unit a two-story single-family residences to expand the ground floor no work on the side of rear building

wall 6 inches towards the easterly boundary a setback along the northern property line this property is on the east side of 30th avenue it was an terryville in the rh1 zoning district the property is 3 thousand square feet and located in the far side and surrounded by single-family residences of various heights the planning department got comments from someone 0 on the same block and the comment was to light and privacy and light following the filing the residential design guidelines met the standards of residential design guidelines and didn't provide any exceptional or extraordinary in particular, the greater the 3

foot sites better matches the adjacent mapping the design change is appropriate contributing to the light of the adjacent properties with the bay windows and the window march the lowest floor a below grade and the property is one and 20 feet in overall depth 0 therefore we ask you not take review that concludes my presentation. i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> opening up to the draft eir you dr requester you have 5 minutes. >> thank you steve williams i represent jenny and mr. king they lived in this residence for the past 4 two years and children there their home is locate directly north

the project site the kings doesn't object extending up and out into the rear yard and filling up the setback will have negative impacts as they're to the north let's look at the existing situation from the one can i have the overhead, please? this particular block has a clearly defined green space in the middle very little development it's been restrained and the rear yard didn't extend most of them take up few part of lots and the buildings in the outer sunset let me show you a photo of the sites this is the kings and the project sponsor over here the setbacks are

currently very large allowing windows the kings have a lot of southerly windows this is aggressive 42 feet of new construction 30th feet and a 12 foot pop but first, they requested that the department of new rear wall limited to the depths the adjacent building and asked for the roof deck on the pop ought to be reduced in size not the pop out itself but the deck they have privacy concerns and impacts on light in response to our dr the project sponsors filed a written response as widower required by the planning department i want to hand that out i'm not sure that was in our packet so let me give you copies

in the written response the project sponsors offered the rear yard and the project sponsors conferred this to the commission when we appeared on september 22nd the sponsor said no problem if you read the handout the rear expansion is averaged between the two adjacent buildings and the rear expansion will not block access to air quality it complies with the residential design guidelines i followed up with the sponsors and the problem is they're not averaging not average if you look at exhibit 202 you'll see that what they're doing is matching the deepest building to

the south and going quite a bit past the kings place we've asked it be pulled back to the average that is a unique to meet with the residential design guidelines it is in the code and reduce the depth about two or three feet and kwng quite frankly so cut down to 42 feet below this is a single-family home built out to 7 or 10 bedrooms gives the appearance of a airbnb rental you don't see that anywhere in the neighborhood we asked for that reduction the next is the elevated roof deck no other building has an elevated roof deck this has a very strange feature in that that presents a

solid side wall instead of a railing glassed that presents a solid side wall to block even more light that's what we are asking for to be reduced in size move those railings in two or three feet and have them turn into glass or something that allows light for the rear yard those are the two issues i thought we had that done the reduction of the rear yard deck other than i thought we had this settled many months ago they promised to average it and independent. >> thank you project sponsor 5 minutes. >> those in support of dr requester you have 3 minutes each any speakers in support of the dr requester john.

>> hello, i live down the broke from the development and opposed to allowing the development to continue it's current format and in addition to the comments about light and privacy in the backyard any main concern that the overall scale of the project as you well know the problem of multi unit dwelling units in single unit building is a problem in the sunset thereby it seems to me an end run around the zoning for single-family residences a building with 10

bedrooms and 7 abandonment didn't it seems to me to be the typical single-family home most resident in the neighborhoods are one story over a garage some 23 story over a garage average homes if that neighborhood has 2 bedrooms sometimes three bedrooms i feel like this is an illustration of setting the property up for eventual conversion into a multi unit building i don't like to see that especially, when if we're going to zone multiple unit i'd like that to be the topic of discussion i'd rather not seen an enlargement of an existing building under the table can be converted to a multi unit building that's my primary objection to the way this project is being handled thank

you for you attention. >> thank you. any other speakers in support of dr requester opposition to the project as is seeing none, project sponsor 5 minutes. >> my name is a benson the attorney for gina the project sponsor and the property owner of 30th avenue as detailed in our papers we respectfully ask the commission follow the recommendations of the project sponsor and approve the plan as say we respectfully ask the commission decline the review for discretionary review based 5 points number one the plan legally conforms to the zoning and planning code provision as well as the residential design guidelines number two we've worked closely with the planner and addressed the comments of the dr requester, number 3 this

house is on 30th avenue between terryville there are other build outs and other housing that have build outs and extension on this block and number 4 she's a single parents with 4 kids the family has lived there more 17 years ms. moss is getting older they want to take care of if she gets into retirement she - the kids have kids and ms. moss wants to be around the grandkids the kids want to remain in the city this is expensive this is a way of achieving their goals and number 5 he no hidden agenda no alternative motivates the house will not be rented out to third party's and the house low not be used and airbnb the house had

been exclusively used by the moss family i'm here with the project engineer john we'll take our questions. >> thank you. any speakers in support of project sponsor. >> they have 3 minutes. >> i'm the project engineer. >> sorry i'm sorry. >> happy new year. >> sorry. >> i want to explain why we have such a big building okay. this is asking about this this is almost like fulfilling an american dream ms. moss came to the country 31 years ago and single-handedly raised 4 children in fact, i thought explained to mr. williams any wives has 4 brothers and sitting down to dinner we have 28 people

that's why they live together and have so many bedrooms and bathrooms and things like that we're trying to follow all the plans up to code and everything chief administrative officer vin knows that we negotiate and we have a firewall we need to have a solid wall and also, we never agreed to everything i think there was a miscommunication somehow any other questions i can answer i don't see the dr requesters in the audience today thank you. >> thank you. any additional speakers on the project sponsors team no those in support of the project sponsor and the project as is you have 3 minutes any speakers?

>> seeing none, dr requester you have a 2 minute rebuttal. >> well, i won't take up much of the commission time you have a large project coming behind us the written response that they were going to average averaging is typically done because their averaging they're coming applying point residential design guidelines we would like to see that enforced in agreement they made as far as the from the firewall is move forward back in order to give privacy to the surrounding homes and yards surrounding than the firewall can be glass that's all we have. >> project sponsor a two minute rebuttal or you can pass

thank you. >> this portion off the hearing is closed commissioner moore. >> it is a large home, however, if i understand it correctly coverage on those lots and this particular part are 75 percent and while the rear yard anchorage is something which neighbors can agree to it is not mandated if it i properly understand it a mutual understanding the properties and the rear yard, etc. that doesn't seem to be the issue the one thing which this commission has spent a lot of time on is the extent of roof deck in this case the second floor roof deck it sits at the edge of the building with the ability to look back to the joining properties to the

north and effecting privacy in that case i'll ask that the roof deck which is currently 61 foot 11 inches that is almost 17 feet be held back by 3 feet from the north side and another 3 feet from the east side in order to really make that a deck and give it a slightly more opted out feeling commissioner vice president richards you'll recall if i had only known the extent of this solid wall i would have never approved that i tried to explain that while inner talking about that is a particular case when you look at drawing one pulling the deck back 3 feet is indeed an expression of an

appropriate sized deck with the type of railing and not interfering with the firewall. >> i want to remind the commissioner that deck will be 5 feet back from one side and 3 feet from the other side. >> that's great you can stand at the far end and north end and look back at the bay windows of the building to the north and i believe those will be interfering with the privacy as far i can tell. >> from the deck were moved on the north side two additional feet it will be 5 feet not have to meet the fire code. >> can you speak into the microphone. >> i'm sorry from the deck were moved two additional feet on the ned not have to - they can have a glass deck that was raised by the project sponsor

attorney and have a solid wall it is only 3 feet back from that side. >> whatever to be to stay - as coded mr. washington that's what i think we should be supporting and willing to address into issues not a big deal but fully fundamental deck and not endangering anything so i ask the commission to manifesting for take the dr and move for modification. >> second. >> question for the project sponsor really quickly help me understand the gentleman submitted the documents saying your averaging but you're not averaging. >> it is a miscommunication between the previously

consultant and i think that it is a miscommunication regarding ms. moss requests we agree we can leave the deck the way it is and move the railing move the railing 2 feet or 5 feet but you want us to move the railing on the east side that won't bother anybody 12 by. >> just the massiveness of the building it looks like a railing will sit on the rooftop i want it to be more residential. >> the fact that deck is one story not two stories above the ground we have a rendering of the back the back is open basically, i was suggesting

removing the handrail back and the rail at the back if you move the back that one and reduce the deck and cut out a lot of the outdoor activities. >> what we can do if we moved the deck in two feet on the north side the remaining deck can be glass necessary meet the fire code one is 5 feet from the neighbor to the south and this might open up address the issue that the turning rate is the massing and light of that that will help facilitate some of the concerns. >> would you mind going to the overhead and drawing what you're saying to the commission can see thank you mr. washington. >> do you want to - can we

put the wood open railing. >> what we want to do is take to wall and the remaining two additional feet so have the glass railing and address the concerns raised by the project sponsor or the drs filing attorney and open up a little bit more light and air for this addition and that will probably address this concern. >> the question i have we don't need to put glass railing if we put railing it is safer than glass and i think that will

meet the fire code too. >> when we setback. >> whether glass, however, the commission feels we can resolve that. >> get specific and can't be any farther per building code. >> nothing changes on the rear. >> thank you nothing changes. >> commissioner another motion there is a motion that has been seconded shall i call the question? to take dr and approve that project as amended moving in the north rail of the roof deck to feet with no specific material associated with that. >> as long as it's not solid right. >> on probation officer motion commissioner koppel commissioner moore commissioner vice president richards and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 4 to

zero. >> thank you very much. >> commissioners that places us on your last dr item 13 for case 2016 - zero, zero zero at thirty 15 san bruno after a mandatory discretionary review and i'll give it a minute. >> okay why not go ahead and good afternoon commissioner president fong and fellow

men and women stay drug dpree a dispensary is inappropriate modeling for the emergency room and high school students in the area the dispensary will create endorse of drugs and a bad example to young people the dispensary is a great destroyer of motivation for forward progress and life skills that is a great cover up it is a framework from the person's responsibility for ones actions i lost years of my life after a college education i'm a harvard university educated person i lost years of my life surrounding the marijuana from growth to maturity. >> next speaker, please. >> hi happy new year

so i'm a mom of two children and we have to transportation everyday and every time we pass some marijuana store because you know that the smell didn't go away originally after people use marijuana so they feel very uncomfortable they have asthma and licensed to the radio this morning some signs report have better showing that actually most of the marijuana people using they also consume tobacco like cigarettes so i'm very concerned about the second-hand smoking any children it is not good for their health

on the other hand, my kids are curious about what happened in those mcd stores because always people standing outside like security they always ask me what happened inside i don't answer i know that some people may have like doctors appropriation prescription /* prescription some speakers mentioned some people are not using it for medical reasons so just consider our next generation i hope that won't happen inside of san

francisco thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> so after good afternoon, commissioners no mcd >> (speaking foreign language.) >> okay. so this i met her, she needs help she didn't speak english she lives a couple doors right next to the proposed mcd and didn't like it because it smelly will be smelly and she may you know has second-hand smoke >> (speaking foreign language.) >> uh-huh. >> okay. thank you.

>> we are a teacher of the city i strongly oppose the proposed mcd an san bruno avenue too close to many schools and it is within the very busy business area as many speakers before me told here i want to share any personal experience so on december 14, 2016, there is a community meeting offered by the sponsor and requester i was there and he was able to get the mike

to ask questions. >> yet after i asked a couple of questions and translated any questions and the content to many neighbors that don't speak english i didn't get answers but somebody grabbed the mike from me is - she was the host at that meeting she said, "no more questions i feel i was abused it is not fair to me my words was not - heard. >> i strongly oppose personally and it is no good for our kids who you know have activities around the area thank you and i respectfully ask for your disapproval for this

because this one when they opposed the mcd an 3015 san bruno avenue in the area is a really a lot of traffic and a really busy area a lot of the high school and middle school and elementary school and childcare center and many people the store is in front of the bus stop there is a lot of kids getting off and seniors and young kids all around there this is a very bad negatively impacting for our children we care about our children we know that marijuana is hurting a lot of the children's all the it is difficult and impacting my - that's why we really oppose the

project please disapprove that can you you make a general announcement let people know they can when they finish they have to take your things with them they will not be let back into the room everyone in overflow room 416 will be allowed to speak okay. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> hi good afternoon. my name is alley my family and i have lived on the 3 thousand block of

san bruno avenue for over 20 years we're directly effected by the proposed establishment of an mcd on this block so i'm not here to debate the merits of medical marijuana but want to describe the environment on this block a little bit so on this block on the 3 thousand block a check cashing joint at the corner right next to it is a liquor store and across the street is an implication and one block down a smoke shop those types of establishment in our neighborhood currently so we feel strongly that having an mcd in this neighborhood is not an additional benefit to our neighborhood or community you know as you've heard from everyone san bruno has a lot of

car traffic right along the 101 freeway there is a lot of foot traffic during the day especially back and forth hours when the kids walk to and from once again our family is strongly against having this particular mcd on san bruno avenue we need something that draws the community together for the betterment of the community we need something that is welcome that's not a medical cannabis dispensary i personally feel belongs at a pharmacy and our family in our family we have three children under the age of 5 there are a lot of other families with young children on this block we don't want to send a message those are the only

kinds of goods and services in their communities we ask you not support in couch an establishment on san bruno avenue thank you, ma'am. >> this room is not representative there are a lot of people in the other room. >> thank you, ma'am everyone will get a chance. >> next speaker, please. >> my name is be robert hudson and i have been a long term medical cannabis user i believe the wellness should be put in san bruno because i feel like all the therapies and how do you know those people are not drinking alcohol all those things are legal and available on every block every kid and every the teenager they want to

see that if they see a medical cannabis shop they can't get into that but like i said depending on the parents where they want to bring their child for the medical marijuana users we should have a say having the cannabis shop in san bruno it will be color for disabled people go to their medical cannabis and come back home and not deal with being robbed if you see thing on the bus you can't blame all medical marijuana patient i have medical issues and next door helped me out not having to community-based all the way down to mission they bring in any cannabis this will be a safer

position important everyone i believe that wellness should be put in san bruno i understand the community don't like it but hey everybody got a store some kind of hustle i believe they should run their store in san bruno. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is lisa sink a couple of days ago i read a newspaper marijuana increased in illegal listed sale i personally believe all the medical expense will be far more than taxation money in the state my friend have breast cancer and able to get well without medical marijuana it is not the only

sorry this is a activity across the street i used to be scared someone was standing outside and visitors were in and out of the store i don't know this - i strongly oppose the marijuana dispensary don't believe this the right type of establishment for this neighborhood especially on this block literally right in front of shop teenagers and adults all board the bus an elementary school middle school and two high schools in walking distance i don't believe that will be a positive influence on youth and all passersby are exposed to marijuana there is a marijuana dispensary an bay shore why do we need another one in the resident area i think i

speak for us all we don't want the smell of marijuana penetrating into our homes in addition the establishment will contribute to the parking problem on the 3 thousand block i'm talking about the streets of san francisco parking but the cars blocking our driveway there are 2, 3, 4 cars and when i woke up at 10 he left the house at one i'm only speaking about my experience i'm not counting all the other neighbors driveways that are blocked if you didn't hear our message in 2009 here i am in 2014 you're not welcome then and no, no mcds.

new year to you all my name is laura and i'm the owner and founder and director of the child time child development that is up the block from the wellness center and i have been born and raised on homicide instead in san bruno avenue there is quite a bit of traffic there already and also i'm concerned about pit stops that might be made people jumping out of their cars to get supplies and concerned a bus stop that families and grandparents and children and teenagers are there waiting for the bus concerned about the congestion the traffic, the necessary amount of people that will be on that strip that is there and just

being around that in the air with so many children and families in that area not an appropriate place for this type of business on the street it is a residential it is families children i mean, i take care of two to 5 years old and you know there is already a lot of traffic parents trying to park pickup their children and also a high school up the block a middle school and family connections down the block just a lot of concerns about this type of establishment being so close to families and children. >> and i agree no muffling establishment on san bruno avenue thank you.

people i believe that the proposal is not a good thing for our community it will bring more issues rather than solve issues thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm marlene trend a retired public school teacher and a a long time activist in the southeast sector here to oppose this mcd in districts 9, 10 and 11 one of the headlines is entitled marijuana related illnesses increases by did your elizabeth she quote elementary rooms have seen an increase and the united states attorney

regarding the mcd enforcement actions the main theme expressed the impact on children marijuana dispensaries are full of cash and many public about their operation they're at a risk of being robbed and given the fact there is already crimes in the neighborhood mcd will overwhelm us with additional safety actions united states attorney assumed that up if so it close to children that's a line we draw we are opposing this because of the increasing health problem on the dwindling health systems and the foreseeable harm effects to close the school programs and childcare centers more and more mcds are targeting the southeast sectors many

residents are totally unaware of those intrusion because supervisors with not required to to the residents and many non-resident english speakers and never receive the notices no posting of those hearing on the site until a month before despite the fact the mcd extend the plaques a month earlier the mcd are not required to to the community two mcd in silicon valley has not con this the mcds have targeted our residents we ask you to deny the applications ever 131 san bruno there small business more tomorrow's on the
