2:27 am
tidewater team are invested ♪ community about a year ago when i joined as a director i hoped job fairs and order them and involved ground level with day to day activities at the hall and more importantly as a workforce nonprofit they gave 5 people chances to work there and gave a second and third chance when i was attend the 1028 market street update i had a lot of questions about the bmr housing and who they are going to build and 25 permanent jobs to be created i'm confident ♪ team >> the other thing when i look at the future of the market street in the tenderloin any concern for the community and no better deems of future actions than past actions the hall is an example of innovation

to done a really good job in the presentation of trying to fit the shape on the corner space in terms of short tall, short rhythm of the neighborhood that's great but the former show dog building next door will be permanently resources they got the development right for their health and then also the world building next to 1066 you'll see a block that is short, at all, at all and short it let's in light on the corners like the temple and the other structures going down market street fits well and we're happy about if i have to say anything i'm sad you won't be able to walk down the market street but they're doing a great outdoor art thing is an

2:33 am
play pool at the billboards and the boars came in and destroyed the neighborhood destroyed everything but in addition to being an artist in the building i'm the chairman of the executive committee seen a lot going on and tell people in the past if they want to come to my studio i'm on the edge in the wine 0 district this project and clearing up that image and improving this from 5 and 9 street will definitely add to the ambiance and - of the street and area as well as the economic growth and impact so - what else can i say except when
2:34 am
you approve this project - i just like to tell you i did a paternity of the hollywood billboard so from the building is gone it is memorialized they've asked me to use mire skills and tenants as far as the individual at tidewater this is a concern for the people in the tenderloin and very good people as well i take 36 they take a personal interest in the community and the people that live here i strongly suggest and request you approve this project he's a good guy and this project will added to the impact of the community i've seen it and little by the another step in the right direction if i want to i, see craig in front of the

billiard. >> any additional public comment on items 11 or 12 seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you for your testimony and open to commissioner comments. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> i might go not go to new zealand but their gushing about the rules so this project is good on every level absolutely nothing i can see as to why is shouldn't be approved when i met with grappling in his studio tuesday, i didn't understand the story behind the story the vendor and give back to the community but craig with the
2:36 am
hall and the partners showed me with the logos of the businesses and civil grand jury the nonprofit i sit here and hear what we did it is ten times deeper than i imagine sometimes value and action you put our values to action especially, when that individual says the people in the front were dealing drugs that was remarkable a lot of people would just you know call the police and get them out of there working with the police say amazing the capital effecting the community and the labor advertised right for this project i'll let someone behind me make the motion for approval. >> thank you commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much i'm also supportive of this the
2:37 am
people that came up with public comment this is great with the solidarity times and other times i've be happy to move in project before i do that we'll take the action on the silent eir first on the project. >> yeah. on item 11 and then 12 a there d. >> i'll make a quick comment and maybe back around to the project so on the final eir i think that seen the draft is adequate and under ceqa the only thing i'll say there was a lot of space spent in both the eir itself and also the response to comments of the eir on the preservation of the cultural
2:38 am
aspects even though this building didn't maintain the spirit as far as the historic rental with the changes in the building over time i hope the interpretative program not debate in the eir will suv provide some of the feeling in association of this cultural district area i hope i'd like to see your report back when the interpretative report is done and some of the elements that make that program for a mitigation of that sortie think this will be a really great example for the future because they were a lot of acres issues for this project so i'll move to certify the finally eir. >> second. >> commissioner koppel. >> oh, yeah, thanks to the staff and the public for the work on the environmental impact
2:39 am
report this project has been going on for a quiet some time and the more compliments to and scott in san francisco we like to keep things local in this town they did a fine job of supporting the local nonprofit we're using space to employ local family owned restaurants businesses and incorporating the local pub art and the use of local construction companies and local resident on the job if you look at the packet their anticipating hiring 68 san francisco residents that work on this project so that's going to be a lot of employment opportunity for san franciscans definitely in support of project. >> commissioner moore. >> so i'm supportive of the project kudos to the
2:40 am
environmental team and to the response inform comments are thorough all of the questions that were asked were numerous were very well answered so i think the project is we're bombard with thing we don't know how to talk about the history but this is wonderful. >> i want to echo any fellow commissioners comments we heard a little bit about the affordable housing and potential acquisition in how purview that but want to ask a question how that maybe administrative code in the future because we've tubed here and potentially you know small site program acquisitions that is important
2:41 am
to keep people in their neighborhood can you talk a little bit about that and, you know who may administer that. >> so craig young project sponsor so the agent will be larkin street services they'll be the primary group to house the operation if you will, and the basic idea to create a partnership to come up with a way to create and preserve more affordable housing in the community with the neighborhoods serving nonprofits as well to the specification of the plan are yet to be determined but the importance of the commitment is that it is ongoing so the commitment to actually spending time and bringing our expertise to the table alongside a lot of the folks if think about those things everyday the idea to take a new maybe more innovative
2:42 am
approach and moving away from a statistic appointing zero-sum noeshthdz that's the point. >> thank you and i just want to point out i appreciate our commitment to market street as a retail corridor that is spooerm important corridor and 3r578d out the ground floor and improving the hall we look forward to that actuation on the ground floor i'm fully in support. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much. we have the motion and potential more for the final eir i'll make quick comments and make a motion as well on the design i know this is something where the staff can continue to work 1028 with the support of housing of the essentially the typography how that will shift market street it is starting to a lot a
2:43 am
little bit wall like for for lack of a better term there are probably some orchestra on the design either through the facade or of the building itself or through the public art requirement we're going to hear that item next but the design for the public art is remnant of a marquee and if there were more work on the scale horizontally or the scope of that piece that might do a lot to break up the design without having to do anything specific to the building i'll ask that staff with work with the project sponsor on design either through changes to the building itself cornice of facade work or in changing the orientation or design the public art pieces we'll hear next to evaluate the
2:44 am
design and breakdown break up the facade because this building belongs that portion of market street. >> i want to clarify commissioner johnson the public art component is part of a what we're hearing now. >> okay okay fantastic i thought we were here 12 e next so i guess maybe i might ask the artist or the project sponsor - what? >> if you've got a question sure. >> i was wondering are recalling the question first there's a motion on the floor. >> we'll have to approve them consequentially there's a motion for item 11 but can wait and call that when there is a motion. >> - we'll do that. >> all right. so i think i've
2:45 am
asked any we call the question on that and go back to the design issue i don't think that is a game stopper for motion today why not take a pause. >> call item 11. >> there is a motion that has been seconded to certify the final environmental impact report on that motion commissioner fong commissioner johnson commissioner koppel commissioner melgar commissioner moore commissioner vice president richards and commissioner president hillis so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero. >> okay there further questions or comments on item 12 commissioner moore. >> i want to pick up on what commissioner johnson said i appreciated a tour of the earth of the building i've spent a lot of time yesterday with the gentleman the architect and had an interesting discussion we're going through some ideas how the
2:46 am
create the ideas about the building facade with the orientation of the building was so thoughtful and he himself left a kind of open there is additional work to be done i kind of don't want to interfere your recommendations to have him work with staff from any perspective was fully answered a is a complicated building you need to find the companion outlet and you need to kind of move it to where it is work able to it's use including the unit that are basically the primarily use of this on the upper floors yoft to support this with a caveat with additional twooeshg
2:47 am
on the aspect of the facade as he community-based organizations on when that building moves from the big ideas worse looking at today into design development in construction that is when i think the questions should be vetted with the people in the departme department. >> i think we're saying the same thing. >> i think we are. >> i agree with commissioner moore i'll make a motion to approve items 12 abc and d. >> second. >> for clarity commissioners you'll be adopting findings for 12 a and conditions for 12 b and c for the conditional use authorization and zoning administrator for 12 d and that is just information. >> not c and d.
2:48 am
>> a through c. >> shargs on that motion to adopt the findings and approve with conditions commissioner fong commissioner johnson commissioner koppel commissioner melgar commissioner moore commissioner vice president richards and commissioner president hillis so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero and zoning administrator, what say you? >> close the public hearing the commission will 345.

2:50 am
for divisadero that matter was continued and will not be heard today that was continued to march 23 commissioners item 13 at 79 cragmont a conditional use authorization good afternoon. commissioner president hillis members of the commission and staff todd kennedy with the san francisco planning department until the time you is a request for the conditional use authorization to grant or propose a demolition and reconstruction of a new two-story between within the same footprint at the previous footprint as on onsite this project went through the planning review process in the planning department the residential design guidelines applicable designing reviews by classed as a non-historic resource the proposal was reviewed as a
2:51 am
alteration and determined not a demolition the neighborhood notification took place and no discretionary review filed planning department staff filed off it was discovered a total demolition took place during construction that was discovered the remain walls couldn't with salvages and the site as demolished without city approval for the project sponsor race - to date 4 letters of port if surrounding neighbors the department recommends approval and building this is necessary and desirable for the following reasons the proposed alteration as previously approved and mets the department requirement no neighborhood opposition to this proposal that proposed operation will be of spectacular height no discretionary review was filed by the neighbors during
2:52 am
the neighborhood process that concludes my presentation. i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> today. >> thank you, mr. kennedy at this time we'll hear from the project sponsor you have 10 minutes. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is stacey life on the line i'm the pardon and also the architect for cragmont this project is to symmetric upgrade and build a second floor expedition for all walls half-inch plywood or tape x for fire protection the stud is 16 inches and the walls were opened
2:53 am
up the walls for the schematic design the walls were plastered with no drywall the contractor took down the walls without contracting the inspector, next item. >> for approval they made a mistake the final appeal for the project stays the same as the permit is designed - i don't know previously by the planning and building department. >> you have more time if you want to take it 23 you're done that's fine. >> you can ask me questions. >> first open up for public comment then we may come back with questions
2:54 am
any public comment on item 13 with 79 cragmont avenue seeing none, public comment is closed. workplace up to commissioner comments. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much i'm deeply troubled by this case that one, the main reasons we need to go over section 317 reform i understand the facts behind the case start off by saying the staff report was confusing it puts the situation as an mistake and took the walls down or oriental had a project that was total compliant with section 317 later found not able to complete the project as planned and without getting further approval went forward
2:55 am
iowa is a demolition it seems to me there were two stories on the same staff report that now make sense to me unfortunately i don't really see that the reasoning behind the mistake or the railroad or subsequent change on the ground facts alleviates the project sponsor of the responsibility to follow the process outlined you know we have section 317 for a reason it is a little bit complicated in terms of how we do circulations. >> what must stay or considered an alteration versus an demolition i don't know i can be supportive of cu given the fact that was a brazen attempt inform to not follow the
2:56 am
guidelines that is only discovered when a building inspector went out there this is a fact that deeply troubles me and can i ask a couple of clarify points mr. kennedy orange county they applied for an alteration. >> that's correct, sir. >> yes, sir. that's correct as you this is the same project they're asking to build now tearing down the remainder of the building the same building itself that their - they will end up with under this permit they would under the altercates permit. >> yes, sir. that's correct nothing has been changed went to planning review. >> how do it come to oushgs or the building department's attention. >> following the sign off of issuance from the city that was discovered and brought to mr.
2:57 am
sanchez open planning attention from what i'll told me interest the department of building inspection there was a demolition it was actually brought to my attention from the project sponsor saying something is going on we have a demolition chases going on that's why we investigated with the opinion planning department and that was why that was a complete demolition. >> maybe for staff or director or or zoning administrator and share commissioner johnsons concerns someone come into and ask for a permit of an alteration the only present to come back and ask for a cu to make good on what they're intended to do bhat the tint for a cu i mean 9 alteration permit and got caught oh, get the cu. >> i mean it certainly a quandary in the code
2:58 am
so in this case had they at the time they pulled the walls down at that point come in for a permit and gone to the department of building inspection and see that is in substandard continues there are a provision in section 317 that allows for repair and replacement of walls if their substandard this could have been handled over-the-counter and 09 circumstances people have eves they come in and get a permit to rove additional walls otherwise steady the calculations this project has been on hold since september for them they could have gone on and done the work in this case the penalty is the delay for going through the
2:59 am
conditional use process this is affordable unit a complaint from and the department of building inspection out there and one of the things we are trying to see and this is maybe an honest mistake they open up the wall and want to rape it over the past year this permit was issued or submitted some time ago staff when we haves projects that require the demo circulation if any additional calculation get the proper permit and come back so when people are working in the field oh, i can come back in in this case under the planning code two mechanisms penalty mechanisms a per day penalty of up to two hundred and 50 a day and assess that when someone is
3:00 am
out of the compliance and they filed the proper pharmacy so really no delay but there's an ability to assess the over one thousand dollars to cover the - this was done in the case of cu this didn't put us in a great situation. >> for the need for we've been talking to clarify the rules of the demo and what's - so it's clear but i agree with commissioner johnson that is hard we can say not to delay this their left with i don't know they can't build but not a disincentive if you want to do it kind of an alteration and demo and come back. >> commissioner moore. >> the first question that
3:01 am
came across my mind how can this happen between commissioner johnson and commissioner president hillis question the other question that immediately comes to mind looking at this project was without the history that is narrated and ask in the absence of room storage for up sizings this project becomes difficult in an rh-1 if it is more than twice the size one story to two-story and we are always asking ourselves what's the proper form of when we have a project 17 hundred square feet a good size for a family even with smaller additions to something that is 3 seven hundred and 50 some square feet with the history of the project
3:02 am
and our own inability in the absence of rules we be confronted with a mega mansion the drawings are fine and all of that but the big question still remains for me. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> i guess what is before us the cu to demolish a building not you know that there is a proposed project replacement we super to get the cu to demolish the building this highlights week week after week mr. swishing says oh, something that wrong a demolition and it is no longer the way it was the back and front is gone we have an incongruous reimburse building code of demolition and not a good process someone can come in and get an alteration building
3:03 am
permit it is not checked they political for this and apply around the same time not the section 317 but the building department has a hand in this so the building department says a demolition means the tearing down or destruction of a building as those terms by the planning department principle portions of a residence - also means that you take do you only i'm reading two-thirds of the building we have tour calculations i'm having a hard time understanding a permit for an alteration the building kept getting taken away chip chip chip it was demolished and many ways i don't know if the owner
3:04 am
is a licensed architect you can't knock down the building someone in the process could have called of the building inspector and said hey a safety issue replace in kind instead, they demolished the building i'm having a hard time saying we should approve this sends the message you can do this if you want and come to the commission it depreciates approved other than a rule in skin in the game apply by the rules i'm not supportive of this in any way. >> okay. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you i think we have to do a motion and intent to degroup and calendar for 09 hearing i make that motion with intent to approve.
3:05 am
>> sure were. >> i'm sorry that came out the same way we're not traerlt the building other than it was approved. >> thank you the unfortunate it has been demolished by mistake where the side of the building that is not visible from the street will be built back the same way that was approved. >> have a seat. i'm personally not getting into the question of intent this is simply saying we have this process for a lot of reasons i understand that there might have been an error i understand that but there has to be some recourse to what we're looking at here and our recourse to likely not approve the cu for
3:06 am
thoblg thank you very much for cob up i don't know that is an intent we're making a judgment on the the president i don't know if we have enough facts to support that here to intent to disapprove. >> i think we can calendar it for next week. >> two weeks. >> february 9th. >> okay with the date of february 9th. >> so mr. sanchez so disapproval action come back with that it would result in they're being no building on this site and they'll not be able to reapply for one year as an alternative they restore did building as it was previously and not do any expansion and they've proposed in the building
3:07 am
permit as a potential alternative they'll be restoring the building as it was previous and the plans i don't think we have any existing as it was before they start the work i think the project is kind of based on the expansion but from the commission is interested in that alternative they'll restore it before the construction that's what building inspection has an lawful prediction or permission this is a serious tool ones that determination is made there can be only the building as that was previously for 5 years but the - put the bar on it for 5 years. >> something for the commission to consider. >> it is a possible in the interim we want something to
3:08 am
happen but perhaps not this project commissioner moore is concerned about the diagram in the resulting room there is a library and on top of is over programmed perhaps in the intervening time between now and approve the third project we don't have to disagree and approve something definitely so i'll possess that as that two weeks away if there're a modification that the project sponsor want to make in that time we may or may not want to consider i would give it a little bit more time rather than two weeks. >> we'll see from the folks with amenable. >> commissioner moore. >> i don't believe i have any tools by which i can deny the
3:09 am
project i don't sit here to be in judgment of what could you have been an error and not possible to say it was intentional or unintentional but projects i've seen blatantly were not demolishing although approved here they were approved as otherwise in this case, i is to assume i'll look to the contractor as potentially having overlooked or acting to fast we'll have other project on high street zoning administrator assistance remembers all of that building overnight disappears and nobody knew what happened despite the fact that was an
3:10 am
important historical building i can't singularlyly pick this project and say something was wrong but for that reason i'm not going to approve that i'll be trend with what commissioner president hillis suggested that the applicant may want to look at exactly what they're bringing forward including the relevance of rooms and size and use that is as an incentive to present a clearly understandable building as code compliant building and address some of the other concerns we have i'll support you in that intent commissioner melgar thank you so. >> i've spent many years on the building inspection more than any other commission this is an issue that the department of building inspection sprurlgz with for the process to work
3:11 am
properly planning and building needs to work together in terms of the planning and application i think that in the short time i've been here i've heard you know project sponsors and architects talk about you know substandard walls, substandard structures with not a lot of evidence i mean the only think evidence we have is something is qualified to say that is a substandard walk and go out and say it is a substandard wall anyone can say that is a mistake i'm not seeing this is that particular case we have a serious problem in san francisco with demolition and you know we'll not to somehow figure out a way to have the process work as intended and you know, i like commissioner president hilliss proposal but i do think we
3:12 am
should send a strong message we expect the process to be followed properly otherwise what we've been seeing more years that will continue to happen commissioner vice president richards. >> so i'm - i feel like i'm in washington, d.c. in another realty from the building code says you can't put a building there what are we bickering about we'll be working with the building inspection making this a harm minus project given an additional and reward i'll be happy to put the house back it needs to be rebuilt permanently issues a cell phone taking pictures of this with the hallow wood that makes sense to me putting the house back.
3:13 am
>> commissioner johnson. >> so i guess this was the mid i can be okay. pushing out the time and from the project sponsor choose to come back with another project i stand firmer to me not about the project that was proposed i think it would have been fine i'm not necessarily okay with wut u putting the house back the way it was i think there need to be a clearer process for a penalty not doing the process right there are some things not clear but there was a contractor and wall one day and not waltz the next day and not the owner of the property, not the sponsoring architect or the contractor who might have been on site this is not what we got approved we need
3:14 am
to go back to the department of building inspection there are needs to be a clearer signal than put the house back you oriental had i maintain any support to disagree but pushing that out a couple of weeks and from the project sponsor want to come back and willing to consider approving the cu based on a new or modified project i would certainly being open to seeing that modified project at that time and taking a decision at this point but stand firmer in my motion day. >> do we have a date. >> i'll recommend february 23rd and we have a fairly light calendar. >> february 23rd. >> that's okay with the seconder. >> i'm supportive of that sending a motion of intent
3:15 am
disapprove i'm not saying it has to be exactly what was there before building changes for more modern day living but a smaller project that is better thought-out a big 50 foot wide lot we've got room room to do things i'm supportive of that motion. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> we'll be approving a project that goes against the building code how does that work you. >> if that's true in the building code they make the determination it was not followed. >> how does that get made. >> that's up to the building inspection. >> 0 so the building is down far exceeds the permit what's
3:16 am
problem. >> i'm in alternative realty the building inspection should look at that and they're more stringent than ours we're talking about a revised project and obvious issue with the building code someone has to make a determination is beyond me how we can approve a project when the building has not weighed in why the district between us and them commissioner melgar should they go out in your opinion. >> let's get commissioner moore and come back for questions commissioner moore. >> i'd like to have the city attorney help us this is very unusual we family say one or sentence we're in the in the business of penalizing we're in the business of understanding our voice and what's in front of us the department is bringing forward a project which they
3:17 am
base on without the dbi it is here for us to approve or disapprove we're feeling last week commissioner vice president richards quoting the. >> cable rules with everyone weighing in with the city attorney we've never had a situation what would you advise within a reasonable amount not that you tell us what to do but our reasonable option. >> deputy city attorney mirena burns. it is actually, i don't think that is that uncommon for the commission to see projects were there has been active conducted on the site here's a demolition but unpermitted activity on site and once the project sponsor is made aware of the unpermitted activity they're allowed to come in and seek permit for the work
3:18 am
they've done or the use or change they've done that happens frequently someone will seek to legalize unlawful changes there are penalty provisions in the planning code that planning department can use and our office can use when project sponsors are unwilling to come in and seek legalization of their property in general the practices then if a breeder property owner will seek the permit for the work those penalties are deferred denial of a project is not generally a path of penalizing a property owner usually we'll use something like that fine administrative finances or in extreme cases a lawsuit as with other projects so i will
3:19 am
recommend you know certainly the commission can consider a smaller project on this site that is not as large as the one proposed the commission can consider replacement of what was there but i think you know. >> thank you commissioner melgar. >> thank you. >> so if you want to address the dbi question. >> yes. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> if i recall to call dbi and say i think there is an unlawful demo how does that work i don't get it. >> it is up to the discretion of the building inspector. >> and maybe will be good job good for the next time we hear this case in 4 weeks or perhaps have someone here to explain the
3:20 am
process why they didn't make the determination or their rational. >> great for the dbi planning commission hearing. >> director rahaim. >> commissioners, i understand the point and the quandary when dbi makes a determination that puts up a stay on the property i guess just a to reinforce something that mirena burns said our whole code compliant about bring people into compliance rather than punishing them that's the kind of standard procedure for the longtime; right? i would - while it may seem frustrating no implications or not many implications to violating the permit here i mean that the goal to bring properties into compliance not to make money or punish people i will reinforce this is the standard part of our code
3:21 am
compliant program for a very long, long time just to put that. >> commissioner moore. >> i appreciate the clarifications i had a different way to look at this pickup on those commissioner president hillis and commissioner johnsons comments for me, the right sizings is the way to do it we're not doing a family asking for build it as it was that didn't do it for me in the absence of us not developing the policies on the adjudication where no limits it would be a very good experience to practice what we do we can't take it probation officer rh-2 and adding on the 3 seven hundred square feet i'm asking for the right sizing for this project to come with approve and instead of
3:22 am
not having a project. >> i'm supportive the hope we're not confront with that project and perhaps in a month's time building a project we can be more confront with. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much i think regardless of the intent behind why commissioners will be supportive or not supportive of the motion on the table table i think we're moving in the right direction we'll end up in the same place my interpretation a disconnect between the penalty and intent behind the building code and planning code they're not aligned it is confusing it seems to me maybe they've not been brought both alignment sounds like the building building department is waiting
3:23 am
for united states to approve this one or a modified version of the project no real reason to put the original house back and not do anything for 5 years i think there is probably a discussion to be had on making sure the intent and letter of the code versus the enforcement and the building code and the planning code are aligned if not confusing in the future i don't think i'm confused at the to what people thought would happen; right? what process i'm not confused they're waiting for us to approve a cu or not approve a cu and depending on the outcome with their code compliant which is what i've seen in the past waiting on the planning department with that said, i'll be looking forward to that joint heather there is something to be said i understand we want to bring
3:24 am
people into compliance but shouldn't be tying the hands the planning commission to approve a cu just because they came in the door didn't get a cu approved there a cab an element what process was followed and what - what got united states to where we are today this is not the first case we're making a decision on what process was followed as part of due process i know i'm looking forward to hearing this in a month. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> okay. so i don't want to belabor this we're moving in the right direction i get it, i, take you to my neighborhood and show you two buildings unlawful demolition rain is through the roof nothing happened a consistent application eroding this orchestrates and the building inspection organization
3:25 am
i have to tell you georgia swedish is up here every week autopsy all the photos this is exactly what we're talking about i think the building inspection one a 831 building permit is more of a 83 eternity we need to understand what the demolition i know we're in the right direction this is has to be right sized let's move and get the commission hearing and commissioner melgar. >> never mind thank you. >> okay there is a motion that has been seconded. >> commissioners there is a motion that has been seconded to adapt at motion of intent to disapprove and continue to february 23rd commissioner fong. >> commissioner johnson commissioner koppel commissioner melgar commissioner moore. >> i'm not sure i understand. >> a motion of intent to
3:26 am
disapprove the matter is continued i believe the districts from the commission to the project sponsor to potentially aforethought the project to take that up think february 23rd. >> thank you for read into the record i can approve yes. >> commissioner vice president richards and commissioner president hillis so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero. >> commissioners that places us on item 14 case 144 townsend street conditional use authorization. >> good afternoon commissioner rick with department staff the item before you an officer development for 42 thousand plus square feet at the 144 townsend it is a legal sun from self-storage a retail formula to office use for 42 thousand plus square feet to date, no
3:27 am
opposition or support for the proposed project after analyzing the department staff recommend approval with conditions it applies with the planning code and consistent with the goals and objectives and the project is located in a zoning district that principally permits office use and the project is an allocation of the office use that concludes my presentation. and i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you project sponsor you have 10 minutes if you need it. >> good afternoon tea with reuben, junius & rose representing the project sponsor i will not take 10 minutes so this project for us a fairly straightforward request we're asking for small cap allocation for 42 thousand plus square feet
3:28 am
which will result in the legaltion of the entire building for office office use we are innovate asking for physical changes but adding bike parking and lockers to the interior exterior of the building but the last legal use of the building was self-storage under the planning code is a retail use not a permit use zones where this property is located we're effectively doing we're eliminating the legal but non-conforming use and asking for authorization of the office use that is pro tem permitted in a conforming from a change of use that is over time non-conforming use is replaced with conforming use in light of
3:29 am
prior case i want to address the fact that we are seeking to legalization of an office use not a new use and unfortunately the permit histories you look at online and planning record they're not as clear as they could be south of market and especially to a layperson here the permit history you looked at online it a little bit mixed you can see office use and going to 1990 and 2000 and so forth that's really sort of the reason why we're here today and not previously i think overall the request today for office allocation subject to the section we believe the request satisfies all the criteria we are asking for permission for the office close to transit options consistent with the offices this
3:30 am
is for a small cap pool it is something we're unlikely to see any shortage of competition any time soon i'm happy to go into more uses of whatnot i'll leave it at that but happy to answer any questions. >> open up for public comment is there any public comment? want to speak seeing none, public comment is closed. >> commissioner vice president richards this is a straightforward one thank you. i move to approve. >> second. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much i'm supportive as well although i do that this building was in the central soma area plan; right? >> on 144 townsend street - >> i know the board the
3:31 am
central soma plan was adjusted you might be correct and yeah. i think i am. >> you know the zoning will not change. >> i want - >> and go to m u o. >> it definitely is in the central soma area plan but an. >> let the record reflect that commissioner johnson was correct. >> commissioners shall i call the question? that motion to approve that with conditions commissioner fong commissioner johnson commissioner koppel commissioner melgar commissioner moore commissioner vice president richards and commissioner president hillis commissioners, that item passes unanimously 7 to zero excuse me - >> take a break.
3:32 am
>> (laughter). >> that places us under our discretionary review calendar for item 15 ab have been continued item 16 case - bayshore boulevard is a mandatory discretionary review. >> jonas can you give us for a mandatory discretionary review outline the process. >> certainly you'll receive a presentation from staff and provide the project sponsor with a 5 minute presentation or from the chair less than 5 minutes and put up for public comment up to 2 minutes you have the discretion to reduce that unlike a normal dr no dr requester and there is no rebuttal. >> okay. i be given the number of speaker cards we have we're expecting over one hundred
3:33 am
speakers limit public comment to one minute. >> thank you. >> go ahead. >> good afternoon commissioners i'm collin department staff the item before you requires a mandatory discretionary review inform establish the proposed medical cannabis dispensary or mcd pursuant to planning code this project locate at 242 bayshore boulevard between visitation and leeland avenue allows a change of use from a community to a ncd d.b.a. as elevated systems with the two-story mixed building within the rh-2 the visitacion valley
