appears to be another year before both departments are live all can i ask a followup obviously you have a integrated system you understand the perimeters of software and i understand a breakdown in i don't want to be two technical, however, does that mean the planning department retroactively has to invest more money to make the joint interface. >> i don't believe so there might be a modest amount of resources needs to merge the system but not retroactively make any changes going forward. >> your system works well, i hope that we're not losing anything given we've made a

significant investment in supporting your system. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you commissioner vice president richards. >> a little levy thank you. i go to new zealand, however, if i think it is what i see in the nosht about what is going on in washington. >> may not see me anymore i'm staying (laughter) commissioners, if there's nothing further, we'll move on to department matters drourmentsz good afternoon. thank you jonas commissioners, i said to review a memo in your packet with you to see you on the implementation on proposition 64 the adult use of marijuana i realized this is information that is relate to a couple of items on the agenda i want to go over a high-level with the situation is how we're implementing prop 64 as you recall it passed last november

but the basis of prop 640 before any business may have a sale of adult cannabis that he must obtain a licenses those will not be issued by the stailt state until january of next year and it doesn't take prop 64 didn't take away control from the local level we anticipate we'll have ♪ place with lmgz are issued whether or not as you asked us to look at whether or not if we anticipate that a medical cannabis dispensary which you have approval authority on today would in the future b be converted to a use we can't speak with 100 percent certainty that will not be the case in our

opinion highly, highly unlikely local regulations will happen the adult medical cannabis dispensaries are sales of any type of will be defined a separate land use in the planning code that means a medical use can't be converted they'll be two different land uses in addition if for any reason the regulations don't play out that way we think is highly unlikely do board a adopt or you can adult your own interim controls requiring the medical cannabis dispensary is a discretionary review 0 so to make sure that there is not any kind of automatic conversion, if you will, from a medical cannabis dispensary to a adult use sales i wanted to give you that information before the

hearing today so we have that as background thank you >> just a quick follow-up to that question so you anticipate the medical cannabis rules and regulations how their permitted and continue on. >> it is i think it is likely to continue on there maybe revisions as we move forward but on the sales is our focus how they're regulated locally. >> okay. thanks. >> jonas. >> commission item 9 past event of board of supervisors the board of appeals no historic preservation commission hearing yesterday. >> aaron peskin at the transportation demand management or tdm ordinance commissioners as you recall you initiated this and voted to recommend approval

hearing on the tabling supervisor safai was recused and it was explained the ero explains that future study needs to be done by little permit for the impacts to the unknown pipeline with the results of ero will determine the appropriate level of the environmental review and issue the environmental review determination that means the project requires more entitlement no introductions that are new. >> thank you mr. starr director rahaim. >> i wanted to kind of highlight the committees approval this week of the tdm more than to year process between the planning department, mta and ta and was a hell of a lot of work what is most interesting in the stand point of transportation it starts to address some of the

transportation impacts in a more robust way for new development and interesting to pout we look at out cities no other city has done anything else so we're leading the agenda i'm proud of the work of the department and the sister agencies in further work thank you. >> i'll note the board of appeals met two items of interest to the commission first, the board had their election of officers and the previous officers carried over commissioner president honda and commissioner vice president fung and other item granite street a discretionary review heard in december of 2015 the board of appeals last night were concerned about the procedural issues were addressed and the board denied that appeal no meeting on until february 8th.

>> next speaker. >> good afternoon, commissioners first of all, congratulations to you commissioner president hillis now for your new position and seismic i assure you you come back because we need you so i'm here to bring up the issue of documented programs and policies for the planning department we know the budgets will be coming up shortly and hopefully the planning department low tissue the candidates like other departments do for example, planning has not developed comprehensive procedures like in the last budget cycle and new planners that don't know how to look at quantitative code requirements we have uneven and inconsistent ways projects are reviewed each one different than the next and so the sponsors and the

neighbors don't know what is going on we believe that the budget dollars should be tied to concrete and measurable goals and those goals should be met this is a government agency and from my experience with government regulated industries as a whole they usually have operating procedures a follow those procedures this is the example that needs to be regulated so i really urge you that in the coming year please do develop those procedures and policies because not only the neighbors are going to be benefited by the project sponsors and developers as a whole this will be a great accomplishment for the residences as well as the developers thank you. >> thank you

>> next speaker, please. >> hi good afternoon, commissioners again congratulations to commissioner president hillis, commissioner vice president richards i'm lisa president of the liberty neighborhood association i wanted to address a one concern in the lastly draft of urban design guidelines we appreciate the changes on the website these guiles will not be the over arching design that was arrived at by a democratic process with the neighborhood organizations opposed that idea by the current draft says it should apply to the non-residential the mixed use and commercial corridors let's look at the commercial streets in the neighborhoods the stores

are in a variety of structures many built at the same time as the older houses surrounding them have housing of upper ground zero and stand alone residential houses as well there is a clear visible continuity between the residential and the commercial buildings examples are van ness street and hill and 24th street and noah valley and even say mission street south of market to daily city the udgs don't fit the style and scale of the commercial buildings in the residential neighborhoods placing new more than buildings alongside the older ones is visibly jagger and industries the can you think nut not what we want we will suggest that the

udgs be removed from the draft udg in the neighborhoods with the residential design guidelines continue to serve as the best design guidelines thank you. >> thank you next comment - >> next speaker. >> good point hello good afternoon, commissioners commissioner president hillis and fellow commissioners i'm anastasia i would live in noah valley heartened by the family-friendly housing initiated by supervisor yee and the report presented to you i agree that putting a policy in place to assure housing priorities is endeared to creating and maintaining house of families in the city's general plan historically noah valley was a neighborhood of working-class

families it now trends towards the development of unaffordable condo and mega sized homes and dispositions characterized as housing why didn't the planning code stipulate that rh-2 13egd properties actually get developed as to fame sized units planners approve and present the projects that includes oversized rooms and lardly sized rooms you passed commissioner vice president richards pointed out there are discrepancies with the building and planning code with regards to the planning codes planners at the front deck as was said not suv trained when

plans are presented and the procedures are not standized to find and followed by planning staff the late joint hearing of planning was held in 2014 i urge you commissioner president hillis to calendar a time certain for a joint meeting of the planning commission and put the following few items i might suggest the demolition, art spaces, the permit tracking system thank you. >> thank you is there any additional public comment? >> general public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. jonas call the next item. >> certainly that will place us under our regular calendar

commissioners for item 10 the south of market plan draft eir impact please note the comments will think accepted until february 13, 2015, a good afternoon commissioner president hillis and planning commissioners i'm mike with the planning department staff the purpose to take public comment on the adequate very and accuracy and president electness of draft eir report refers as at the central soma no action is requested the central soma plan unincumbrance blocks within the south of market area that extends from townsend in the south to the regular boundary along fulsome to the north from second street to 7th street on the west the primary objectives

to be in the proximity for the subway line to provide rapid service between the square and chinatown as described the plans proposed to meet the subjective by men and women e amending the portions the plan where such uses proposed may restricted or not permitted by amending the height and bulk district from a great height and decencies that are currently loud and administrative reviews the janitor plan by established new and open space and contrary to the controls by the land use or the preservation this eir reviews the proposed changes that may affect the design of fulsome and howard and brilliant and third street and beyond the boundary commissioners in april 2012 the

planning issued a environmental impact report and followed in may of 2013 held a scoping peeing to prepare the environmental impact report in 2013 or sorry 2014 the planning department prepared issued a study for the plan that focuses on the environmental impact report we're here to take comment on the analysis impacts in the draft eir folks on the transportation and circulation noise, vibration and wind and hydraulic uses the draft eir finds the impacts not fully mitigated and in addition to the promoted plan the implementations the draft eir study has 5 alternatives that

reduces of eliminates the environmental impact those have a no project alternative as well as a height and bulk and a modified alternative by the owners and development corporation as well as the land use i'm sorry the land use not including the streets changes as analyzed as part of plan the planning commission published in 2014 and 61 public review day that ends in 2017 last wednesday the historic preservation commission held a public hearing and in general they find the document adequate for the historic preservation commission impacts and the mitigation measures the members of the public that are interested in writing letters sent to 1650 mission street san

francisco by 5:00 p.m. february 13th the members of the public 3 tied up to comment please state your name for the record and direct your comments to the president electness the comments will be contributed when the work is complete and the planning department will provide copies to those that comment public comment on the draft eir maybe submitted by the planning department website.com - soma when the department has responded to all comments from the draft eir we will request the commission verify the eir is complete that concludes my presentation. if you have any questions i'm available thank you. >> thank you, sir. >> we'll open up for public comment on the central soma plan draft eir i have two speaker cards richard and arthur and additional folks that want to

comment line up on the screen side of the room, sir. >> good afternoon. honorable members of the planning commission i'm from the law firm i'm a resident of west portal and representing a group called the soma members and represents dozens of people that live in the central soma neighborhood a residential and mixed use community of over 10 thousand people those residents are long term residents we urge the planning commission to reconsider the eir to consider the mid-rise rather than the high-rise i want to emphasize our the central soma neighborhood is not opposed the mid rides allows 90 percent of the job growth and housing growth agency the high-rise alternative but maintain a liveable family-friendly community on a pedestrian scale with access to light and air and

open space all things that make that neighborhood attractive i want to emphasize that draft eir is a radical depamper from a document issued by the planting in 2013. in 2013, the planning department issued the central corridor plan that strongly favored the middle rides and said this so be maintained in 3 short years the department is favoring the high-rise we be in that is inappropriate for a marginal increase in jobs and housing will deprive the people of the human scale that is essential to a mixed use neighborhood we don't want to see a second finest or financial district the mid rides allows for the - the cluster around at bart station and caltrans station that allows

the hundred development where that is appropriate for offices but encourages the use of public transportation rather than putting high-rise on harrison street not assessable to major public transportation routes with we think that is important to retain a family-friendly character as supervisor yee has is now promoting this area through it is one of the most ethically and diverse in the city it has one of the highest industries of ethic diversity and slither higher incomes but twice the level of poverties and faces challenges like high crime and pedestrian safety and twice the level of air pollution and about twice the number of asthma that addresses all the alternatives and we urge you to

direct the staff to emphasize the mid rides instead of high-rise thank you >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon commissioner my name is arthur i'm a resident of soma i live on second street down at the second and bryant basically ground zero for people on the bay bridge on the eastern edge of proposed district i'm in favor of the no project alternative i've seen the written comments will be better than ramping for a few minutes my overall thing there will be plenty of roads in san francisco under the no project alternative plan will be growth i think about 50 percent of what is found under the plan the

high-rises are inappropriate that is the marc beniofftion of soma that is a 0 low-rise memorize path in the past and should continue looking at the traffic from the bay bridge i get a horn concerto outside of any window starting at the 2 o'clock in the afternoon if this is translated into the rest of the soma area i think that will be a total disaster frankly my preferred no project alternative the no project alternative avoids with 7 of the significant and unavoidable plan and cumulative impacts regarding traffic noise and other things there will be growth i just don't think this needs to be high-rise for hundreds and

hundreds of feet not like harrison like the former gentleman was talking about and this is ground zero will be hundreds of feet tall including hotels and hard to believe not alleged auto traffic at that location that when is not helpful as far as the bridge goes i'll comment written comments thank you for your time and thank you very much. >> thank you. i'll call additional speakers. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon, commissioners and cynthia research with the local union we have 13 thousand resident no san mateo couldn't and this is will be in the soma with the sros hotel we have general concerns about the plan i'll touch on concerns about the displacement

of sro residents in the central plan area and urging that further studies of what the impact of all the zoning may be but i want to focus on the jobs housing and balance that is prepared in the draft plan and discussed in the eir and a statement in the eir that only a portion of employees or residents the given building will be likely to relocate to the area bans the housing again that is little eir no subsequenttion for the claim but to increase pine the assertion that protection from displacement will be provided in the central soma residences and this shouldn't be presented and it also budget committee lies san francisco's history we've seen attorneys for high developments that advertise to twitter and other tech companies

as around incentive so we believe that is not accurate to see is that those kinds of developments will not cause mitigation and limits to the area there should be an analysis and basketed of the kind of jobs under that plan specifically by in case level and the types of housing the prices ranges of those housing and the kind of family-friendly housing that maybe expected to be especially in light of the recent analyze a terrible shortage of family-friendly housing in no and particularly the green house and the traffic and public transportation demand analysis should be redone in the light of this more detailed study and finally we're as we mentioned concerns of displacement

in terms of resident and vulnerable groups and also concerned that the structure of this plan seems to mes a great deal of of 67 percent of high-end market-rate housing that second housing or investment housing often end up as illegal units and no analysis in the eir felt trip designation or other impacts that were done for hotels that a certain will be short-term rentals. >> thank you, ms. gomez. >> next speaker, please. >> my name is mike farrell my family's are long time owners between farrell and 6th street we would like to make comments in writing regarding the eir to

the central soma plan we feel there is additional land use poland proposals that can be done been bruin and brandon and between 6 and 5 and like to submit those comments in writing for you review and that's all thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> oh, will this reset. >> yes. it will. >> go ahead. >> good afternoon. as a long time my name is marketability i live on fulsome i am a long resident and have any issues with the central soma and the draft eir first and foremost i want to say that

central soma is a drive though corridor not that and district attorney glad that was renamed central soma has beautiful historic buildings and transit development and the park central soma faces many challenges the areas of the worst air quality and areas are underutilized with a pedestrian experience often grim with the constant highway and the highway likewise, the cause of surrounding streets bringing traffic to a standstill and also constantly threatens pedestrians as you are aware the central soma plan 2013 includes changes from the high-rise option in the central soma option the option was revised

without on explanation the proposed high-rise option for the excited proposals of their choosing concentrateing along - thankfully the draft eir exposes the mid-rise option for to any dismay is inferior it will develop the neighborhood at the right scale with the central soma with the central soma has developers interest in mind why is sf planning not having the interest of residences and why build parking lots next to our ears we want to area to focus on light and air and open space want a safe walkable neighborhood that preserves and

bans the architecture and balances residential, office and retail use please indirect staff to reduce the corridors as a alternative the mid-rise will provide residential growth and preservers the neighborhood growth help our neighborhoods thrive thank you for your time. >> next speaker sir. >> good afternoon, commissioners john when the central soma plan first got rolling over 5 years ago on the eir 2011 we saw that was basically a downtown expansion plan from that date we have insisted with the department that the neighborhood building have people priority with the economic expansion and the staff and the commission have generally sports that

but equal means equal not window dressing but making it real when we look at what comes from the department it gets hard to believe we're getting that goal with the equal priorities because when you look at the eir and you look at the public services section which is where all the matters are of everyday life police and fire and ancestry all the topics you don't find it no public service analysis in that draft eir that was in the initial studies done several years 21 thousand new jobs don't add demand for public service now perhaps it seems to me that is ludicrous but since you must look at two of the

consequences in ceqa the adjacent south of market to the west of sfrvt is growing dramatically and, of course, the adjacent rincon hill east of central soma that is growing more than enormously all combined among them the whole south of market will have a large new demand for public services the quality of life issue of residents need more police and street cleaning the one it is dramatically important i want to focus on the crisis we have when is no where near enough childcare fats in the south of market to support the population of the preschoolers we're witnessing everyday we see that and 200 more households in south of market and in the west and 10 thousand more where is the plan the analysis now our community plan would be

requiring 8 major the commercial sites all required to have onsite childcare services for the workers and the residents the department has no plan the department eir didn't have an analysis to figure out how much we need how many spaces and square feet this is clearly not legally adequate add a comprehensive section to the eir. >> thank you. next speaker. i'll call one additional speaker card. >> hi commissioners thank you i'm alice director the community mr. haney at todco and right now unless ours is a transportation planner it is difficult to understand the howard street

changes those will have a huge impact on everyone that lives and works it is important it is clear what the consequences are of this project right now the reader is if they want to figure out they need to dig through sections of plan or go back to the appendix not acceptable to everyone and basically requires to find a lot of scattered information and try to consolidate yourselves to figure out what is happening because of the extent of the changes really needs to be a single section that lays them out clearly with graphics to show the impacts for example, should be a side by side graphic

of the directions there should be 0 another graphic of the left turns on each intersection where there are to the left-hand turn and no turns will improve the incremental and be a graphic side by side graphic for alternatives that should the cuing and lining up for the ramp - to get into the freeway this in some cases streets will see less congestion but that helps us understand what we're looking at and providing a simple way that the graphics will help us understand what is going on into the neighborhoods. >> thank you, ms. light. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is director heinecke he

is a city resident and resident an you to said how hard to walk in cathedral to bart it is scary i wouldn't things i wouldn't want to repeat i want to go to any distance class as 11 o'clock ♪ location you guys are planning construction construction construction everyday my hair is on edge i can't believe what you're doing to the city it is

ridiculous i'm a single happily married woman i do any best job and get to vote i love voting i love - i studied urban studies with the university of north renal and graduated before that earthquake i want you guys to listen to other people and stop thinking about one group and that group we all live in this we're the international city in the world we must recall or respected that and hear everyone go to a distance class safely you guys to think about that it's not save you need to understand that i encourage you to walk the city make that part of your plans with the projects don't take cars can't walk up the hills impact the cable cars

but walk and see what's going on and this particular projects effects not only those people i won't go there unless my husband goes with me thank you thank you for your time >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners corey smith on behalf of the housing coalition. we're going have not report with our members getting a responded to work with staff i have two comments we have had the opportunity to review the hands on with that a long time with the central soma and appreciate the station 49 working with us and trying to make sure that is open and available to the public as possible any of the comments is related to the eastern neighborhoods eir and the conversation please, please, please let us avoid a duplicate situations we'll take the time

and spent a lot of time and money we need to stick with that it is a cycle if we can get everybody on the same page and keep everyone's best interest in mind we're better off thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> hi commissioners i'm john, i live on the edge of this neighborhood at 6th street and market what happens will impact me quite a bit the main thrust of any comment will be jobs, housing and balance we've seen this happen in so many plans in san francisco we kick the can down the road and say oh, other neighborhoods will pick up the slack the haight and western edition they're not wanting to pick up the slack it is kind of responsible to add a big area

plan to within that area plan what is the jobs balance and look at central soma 6 to one so we have created so much incentives to build for office and disincentive you know what i'd like to send this back to the planning department and create for housing with the density bonus program and more disincentives or asks from office developers i don't think that pushing the office development to open is a bad thing as far as the transportation we have a bottleneck crossing the bay and more jobs available to oakland as opposed to to here but a massive housing shortage i'm not

against development i'm not i'm almost always in support of projects let's get it right at the wide planning staple and get more sfefdz to put housing as opposed to only office thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> ms. hester. >> sue hester you've had a whole lot of very good comments i'll go down the topics with an or one say, i think you're risking the eastern neighborhood exemption because you - you adopted the eastern neighborhoods plan based on the eir and you're cutting away and changing the zoning we'll have 5 m there are massive changes in

traffic patterns since the eastern neighborhood plan was adopted a versus consulting transportation are dumping from silicon valley over in lyft have started and become a disruption of traffic because they stop in the middle of traditional lanes on the north south streets and don't allow the bay traffic prohibition take illegal turns and their abruptly the traffic and abruptly muni we've had a shift from retail to truck delivering packages and that is massive in the transportation analysis this area is mostly all the bay

before it was here on bay fill you can't build types of housing without driving up the costs you're going to have to have full analysis and have to have piles driven into housing it drives up the possibility of housing you have had a massive there your supposed to have a massive increase in the muni lines bans the ooefrment and western edition those have not happened the reiterates we've been explaining or blaine about south of market 19 are different from blocks north of market oh, only a two block area it is ridiculous none knows them as two blocks if you use the north of market blocks the distance has to be

13e8d up i want a proposed mitigation for all offices and new market-rate housing that don't pitch the conditions this is a sterile area there are services for low income residents and there are pdr uses we - the planning commission imposed the do not pitch condition so people move into those housing unit can't plainly about those this is not a abandoned word i understand. >> thank you ms. hester. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon commissioners i'm andrew agree long term resident and represent 20 community organization that

part of filipino thank you for our filipino heritage as you may know this includes some of the most important aspects as much as the grand filipino mosaic lodge in south park a historic site the filipino education center the mural and the south street the middle eastern son house and center and many other buildings and aclu that are homes to the community we're concerned that the central soma will will have impacts in the immediate areas that comprised the reality value and therefore the affordability of housing and rental space for community serving nonprofits and small businesses. >> within a filipino member that are seniors on fixed income and working families are

vulnerable to rising rents and evictions like the i hotel they have fears that with the zoning and so many office spaces will mean displacement one of the main goal is preservation of the long-standing filipino community we ask you to look at the vulnerable population of central soma not just the filipinos but all the sro people and the department of building inspection and lastly look at how we can be reflected to come from zoning district all of central soma is in the filipino currently heritage district we want to help to insure that the residential design guidelines are integrated in the future development in the area thank you. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment on the

draft eir for the central soma plan. >> seeing none, o open up for commissioner comments on the eir. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much this eir is special so for use it is one of the last neighborhood plans that we'll be seeing more quite a bit if ever and congratulate the staff on a job well done a lot of comments i heard that are reflective of good questions i'll be looking forward to the responses i personally have a number of comments related to transit capacity and population and some of the findings that are in the draft eir but to save time i'll provide those in writing and if there are changes that are needed for about the final eir we'll have that discussion to see where we

are so thank you, again to the staff and everyone that came out really great public comments have a lot to think about toy. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> two weeks ago i said i read do controllers recorded these on the fiber economic for the economic report the two things that struck me the limits the city is sitting on housing and transit and limiting the companies coming in here because poem can't afford to live here and hard to get around really a difficult place to live so i listened to the comments and look at the plan i truly like the judge gentleman sfechd when i read the plan that was 7 thousand dwelling units in

balance and i'm not sure if we are exacerbating a situation i don't know. i looked at the population around the project alternatives the lawyer for the folks in south of market who spoke first brewery some compelling things around the percentages of what we'll achieve with the low rides alternative, etc. when you do the balboa's it is exactly the same across that how much is the larger number but what the same balance the woman if local 2 really had good comments about what kind of a drops south of market one of the 3 lowest and poorest neighborhoods except for chinatown i think from the federal reserve and here we have

those probable high jobs come in and worried about displacement we're all over the place here probably especially true with the increase in the population probable like no - i think i really want to understand what the level of housing that is protected either in rent stabletion or how to apply them so we're not dropping a 92 bomb on housing somebody pointed out over the 7 thousand units or whatever it turns out to be how many people will live in them ero this on the action list and talked about with any colleague we want to tease that and understand how many people live there some other place in san francisco

to take advantage of hiding it but appreciation but the price ranks of the housing that is already applied to the level as the woman from i cu said childcare didn't register with me until john got up and talked about that last week that's a good point and the other point i think we've been talking about that quite a bit the transit and the capacity of the roads, etc. for vehicles do they consider a change we're seeing in uber and lyft and other services i think that is important uber how to when i get any dinner so is that in their i have questions around that and interesting thing the city needs to grow i agree but we need to balance the roads

with the ability to have the housing and the transit and all the other support services keep up we've seen what happened in potrero hill and about 16th street we have a bus line and cars john rahaim the streets and talking about the horror with the circle of questioning whether the eir make sense that was 10 years ago and so m much as changed may be given the 25 years the level of change might not make sense anymore there is a book i'm reading called we're late i suggest the ero industry it is talking about the acceleration of change and the level of change happening it is in our history so i'd like commissioner johnson will be sending in comments in writing as well. >> thank you commissioner johnson. >> thank you. i can't help myself so on childcare and

related facilities the reason why i didn't want to go into too much daily to provide written comments not just about the potential of rezoning district but administration codes about childcare not requiring that building provide childcare we actually need state and local law changes to make that legal as of right now the way we're set up we can't build those i think there is a number of these types of facilities and what you talk about how to shape our community to account for new services that are changing the face of our city like assured housing and shared transit the delivery services and things like that those are all requiring zoning and code changes and building code changes when every one of

everything is dropped off by amazon we'll require the changes to create the space this is not only about what we want to see but more mechanisms in the zoning lodging we have to consider thank you. >> thank you commissioner moore. >> i appreciate everybody's comments with the neighbors made and the comments are not against you, we are here to shape the documents of that it is basically informing the decision makers and be comprehensive and shedding light on things contrary many of the comments we here you know are similar comments we heard an individual projects particularly in the eastern neighborhoods and they are all loud and clear in the room and the idea of public services the balance of the

housing job balance all of those are repetitive i'll not repeat the comments they're coming almost to a screeching intersection at a huge projects given we're not talking about individuals buildings but talking about the change of the larger quadrant of city the comment i'd like to emphasis the public discussion has overlay on the family-friendly discussion initiate by supervisor yee and i'd like to have the discussion to be augment by the discussion on those particularly reflecting on the guidelines of the downtown plan the work we've done prior to 2013 and the preparation of today's eir spoke about the mid rides solution with the snoring

borrowing that was discussed where people - i believe as push back on more than one front and the urban design guidelines and the modeling of the alternative in the larger context of the urban design plan is important to me and require further veting i'll submit my comments and both in rincon hill the special treatment of 5 m and hub effect this project and we need to find a way to reflective and interweave the discussions on a border discussion of

transformation of the city at large. >> commissioner moore commissioner vice president richards. >> i know we've not had a chap be to sit down face to face a way to understand in other parts of the city we add the jobs and where people live i know we have the report we had all the facts come together thirty percent of the people don't live in the city but outside a quick accounting where we expect those resident to live that would be great we know how much we're entitled so where based on the way things are on the ground with the people given the city and region at a whole that will be a helpful discussion. >> commissioner melgar. >> thank you. i don't want to repeat any of the comments that the other fellow commissioners made i the president to zero in

on ms. gomez comments there is you know we're adding jobs we're also displacing jobs i seen a study last year where folks lived in the midst who worked in the hospitality industry i think that those are the members of the a t r e and patterns much to my surprise that are left in the mission since speculation in the research was that folks live close to where we work they can't afford to commute those are the folks that are walking to work and riding their bikes to work can't afford parking as the parking unit disappear it becomes difficult to come up with the workforce here we already know the hospitality

industry is suffering that cuts off the service industry to the jobs i think that you know we placing with with the bmr units is not the population we're trying to serve i'll cognizant that you know we're planning for dispenses phil ginsberg the central soma we have to be careful not to cause displacement and the issue of childcare and services if we don't do this the market will provide those services that are more expensive than people with afford i'll submit comments 2, 3, 4 writing such thank you for all your hard work. >> commissioner moore. >> i'm raising the question that is almost impossible for you to address mr. gibner the

issue we're living in a time of reality where functions change in the last three or four years that is a comment by ms. hester and by many others how to quantify that and bring forward into something to to the decision makers. >> thank you seeing no additional commissioner comments remind the public that written comments can be submitted to the planning department up to 5:00 p.m. on february 13th. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further, we'll move on to the next item which has several pieces to it item 11 at 1028 market street a final environmental impact report and items 12 abc and d at

project sponsors attitude they asked a lot of questions of us and others from the get-go to make sure they are doing things the right way as far as the project the food court is how they do retail use and to echo the gentlemen's comments their cognizant what is facing market street is different than that golden gate i distinctly e distinctly remember they were asking people what kinds of services say specific on location they wanted to make sure that the people that will be sdpashg on that street it as if they're part of the neighborhood and the details are not common their paying attention paying attention but we have ever belief they'll continue going forward the parking is appropriate for that the area

it is going to be a major transit hub and we will also doing everything we can to currently more bike parking and meeting the inclusionary requirement with the trailing legislation i'd like to encourage the sponsor to look at that to see if we can get more bmr's i get a warm feeling i see the men and women behind me this will be built by people that are paid good living wages and that means the community input you don't get that many people showing up by this all and all we support this and ask you to support that unanimously today. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon commissioner president hillis and commissioners my name is adrian

but the gentleman behind me are not making a promise as developers of showing they're better nature once that project goes forward but demonstrated a track record of mother nature and activating that community with them their 3 year track record is expressive i've been directly effected and their the beneficiary of it and i just think that it is sort of clear designation to not just a concern the texture of our building but the fabric and strength of the community that live outside of the doors cannot be over stressed thank you, mr. davis we'll call additional speakers (calling names)
