i have a mechanic business on 17 th street and i have been running it for 48 years. i am a native san franciscan and a live in the mission district. this seems like an excellent program and construction project it seems to me they've done the best that they can to address community issues. and i support the project. i urge you to do so. we need as much new housing as possible. it doesn't matter what the style is. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners i am a piledriver, carpenter. i'm a resident of san francisco. i'm here to speak about this upcoming project. 1979 mission project. it provides below-market rate apartments and low income units made available for s.r.o. family

and moving on voucher participants. the b.m.r. would subsidize low income right -- wrench for approximately hundred 59 district households and 100% union labour with a local higher opportunities for construction of all projects associated with 1979 mission. we have a developer who is ready to move forward with this project. i urge you to consider this project and move forward with it when this item comes to the commission. on a final note, san francisco was a progressive town. lets progress and not regress. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is gwen. i am the founder of the northeast of mission business association. we have been working with the developer for housing in the mission and we would like to encourage you to speed this up as quickly as we can.

i have people who say to me, wasn't that built five years ago anyway, i think most all of the business communities in favor of this and appreciates all that you can do for this. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i am a resident of san francisco i am with the better housing policy. i am here in support of 1917 mission project because the read sent -- the recent housing shortage -- we need more housing and in the area, we only support , we are concerned with low-income families but we also need to support middle-class as families. they are the ones that are supporting the majority of the housing and the city expenses. i am here in support of 1979

mission project. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is angelica. in the neighborhood, they call me jelly. i am a san francisco resident and a mission district native, born and raised. i'm here today to talk about the 1979 mission street project that i, along with hundreds of my neighbors and community members support 100%. as you all know, we were scheduled to have a hearing in mission high on november 1st but it was cancelled on its last minute. i believe that was completely unfair and a tactic by the 16 th street coalition. we have all worked so hard planning and organizing to have our voices heard that day. instead, the 16th street coalition lied and used their dishonest tactics to sabotage that meeting to silence our voices. they claim that it was going to be a community meeting but that was a lie too. as soon as people like myself and all the other supporters got

involved with a different opinion, they went to work on dishonest tactics tag line, which ultimately we believe led to the cancellation of the hearing at mission high. we were not silenced. i don't know if any of you heard us or have seen us, but we gathered and rallied on the stairs of city hall. 300 plus. shouting and binding together as a community for the first time to speak out against the gatekeepers and the people who claim to represent us. they don't represent all of us. i ask that you please don't silence as either. asking us to weight until january to have our voices silence until january is completely unacceptable. it is with that same hope that we gathered in support of the project and we presented on the stairs november 1st that we ask you to join us and hearing

us out. i have been to lots of these commission meetings and i have heard things come before you guys and until ultimately you say go back to the community and do community engagement. maximus has gone and they have been extremely instrumental in making sure that all points of the community are heard and involved. not just those who claim to represent us. please support us and support building housing in san francisco. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. my name is bobby. i am 16 years young. i was born and raised in mission going up just a few blocks away from 16th street, i have seen many changes in my community. i have seen a lot of things that young people my age should not see on 16th and mission. but what needs to change most is 16th street. my father is a union worker which means he will be able to work closer to our home and that

also means that i get to spend more time with my dad. in my opinion, that is why i believe 1979 mission should be built. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. my name is isaiah and i am a san francisco native. i support this project for expanding and beautifying the plaza and turning it into a more safer and healthy environment for me to enjoy and to pursue my education. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is hazel. we are located on district nine. to solve the housing problem to build more low income houses as soon as possible, we prefer

private builders and the government first for the government to reduce expenses. we can get a win-win situation. second, the government will shorten the permitted time and solve the matter of the housing disaster. i hope we can see a station and build a beautiful plaza as soon as possible. so i support 1979 mission. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> my name is teresa. i am a purchaser. i am a consumer for housing. i want to purchase this nice apartment in 1979 mission, but the point is, i do not want to purchase an affordable housing. i mean, affordable housing is the only thing good that me and my husband can live there.

but how about i want to inherit my housing to my family so that my kids can stay in san francisco for more than a long time? this is the way -- affordable housing as a way to solve the city housing crisis. if you really want residents to stay, let them also purchase the market rate house. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon planning department. my name is joseph. i'm a san francisco native and a district nine resident and i also worked as a youth advocate in the mission community for over 15 years. i stand here today in support of the 1979 mission street project because i believe this project will bring positive change that the community needs. throughout the years, we have lost generations of gentrification and displacement and street violence that impacted youth and families. to this day, this community

struggles and has been influenced by shady politics and agendas carried out by a certain view. i sat and watched a the community fight many battles from the streets in the very same chambers. today, all this change has changed my mind. i stand here today with a clear conscience and say build it. but not for me and how i feel. build it for the 46 families who will be housed on site. build it for the 159 subsidies i will keep families in the mission. build it for the 100% union labour and higher opportunities that will right more jobs for black and brown sisters and brothers. build it for youth to have a safer streets for youth to walk on. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is ally allie. i support the 19th mission project. for simply expanding the plaza by 40% and beautifying it to make it a more community filled type of area.

have you seen 16th and mission lately? it is time so i think we should build it. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening. i am a young single mother of two your guy may san francisco native. i'm here in support of the 1979 mission street project. because there will be zero displacement on site because of this. instead this project would offer a good amount of on site low income housing and future of site support. this will also offer a lot of community benefits that will help the community thrive for the future and i am in support of this project. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. i am a single mom as well.

i support the 1979 mission street project. i have dealt with being homeless and not being able to afford to stay in san francisco. it happened -- searching for housing is ridiculous. i feel like building this project would help people like me and a lot of other people like me. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is sophie and i may warn and raise mission district native. i'm also a community organizer with mission for a long. i came here to voice my supports i support the idea of building them ricardo because it will benefit -- benefit the people who have worked hard to open up their business in the mission. this will give an opportunity to other vendors to have the opportunity to stay local and

keep their businesses local and more safe on 16th street and mission. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. my name is selena. i am a san francisco native, mother of three and district nine resident. i'm here today to voice my support for the 19th street project. i feel the community benefits proposed would help low income families stay in the district because of the 46 units on site and the rest -- of the rent subsidies this project offers. as a parent to, it is hard to walk with your children on 16 th street and even to get off the bus at the plaza. this project makes the area cleaner and safer. i say build it. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is armando. i am a san francisco native and

a district nine resident. i would like to say i am supportive of 1979 mission project because it will allow a lot of great opportunities for local artists to display in our community. also they will offer rent free space in the market hall. it would allow artists to make money with all the development going on in the neighborhood, this project is the only one i see with real benefits that i can relate. i would say build it. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is maurice. i am a san francisco native in full support of the project. the project has my full support because of the involvement they have within the community. right next door is marsh elementary school and when you are at marshall, you see

beautiful paintings, welcoming paintings that welcome the community. everybody passes by to see our art. we are also creating a right turn only street and a sign to lessen the traffic congestion. that is why i am in support of this project. >> next speaker, please. >> hello. my name is susan. i am a former marshall elementary school parent and at a meeting a few years ago, after a great deal of effort by the school community, the superintendent came to marshall elementary school and heard from the parents there that they are greatly opposed to this project. they know it would lead to further displacement of those students. and its existence as a spanish immersion school would be threatens. today i mostly want to talk about the tactics that maximus

uses to postpone this meeting. we worked for months and printed thousands of flyers which we distributed to the organizations that are members of the plaza 16 coalition. we worked very hard to make this meeting happen and then i think, as you know, just in case you don't, jean royale college the principle of mission high school , pretending to be from the planning commission stating that security could not be guaranteed at the school. we had nothing to do with the cancellation of this meeting. we were very much looking forward to it. and then, they had the nerve to say that we caused it to be cancelled. they said that to you, they said it to the press and they said it to london breach. all of which is completely untrue. this is just the last in a sealer -- series of dirty tricks this is the way they operate.

i'm sure you know is an organization where they have actually, during civil conversations with them in the community, have called the police. they called the police on me saying i was physically assaulting them and continuing to threaten them. they have called the police on latino youth on sunday streets in the mission. this is the kind of tactic that they engage in and i think that it should not be tolerated. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, planning commissioners. i am a native of san francisco. from the mission, to be exact. the 1979 mission project has a history that dates back about five years. not all of it is good history, but today is a new day.

we want to be part of the community and we expect you planning commissioners to help this project go forward. there were people, some time ago that demanded to see support for this project. now that we have it, it seems like someone doesn't want us to be heard. i'm pretty sure all of you are aware of hundreds of people showing up to the front steps of city hall and screaming and shouting about how much they support the project and why they support the project. i just feel like we need to be heard. another thing, now i know it is no secret that maximus has exceeded anything that any other developer has done anywhere else , but you know what, commissioners? it couldn't have exceeded anything if the community wasn't involved. now that the communities involved, there is a great community benefits package that was made and is waiting to be

viewed by the rest of the community. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. name is aaron. i am a san francisco native. born and raised in the mission district. i'm here to support the 1979 mission project. being a native, i realized how important it is to be part of the change that is happening in my community. housing is needed and here are a few hundred units for a few hundred families. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. i am a resident outreach leader. i'm here to support the 1979 mission street project. also, different types of housing is what is needed in my community. as time goes on, that is what i love to see. buildings will make our streets safer. >> thank you. next speaker, please.

>> good morning. i mean good afternoon. thank you for the opportunity for my voice to be heard. i was born and raised in san francisco and my family is one of the many families that were displaced from our hometown because of high housing pricing. i would like to shed light on the issues that come with the unstable housing for natives like my family. at the young age of eight, we were displaced to sacramento because housing grew more unaffordable for my family. due to the smooth, my parents were still actively working in san francisco and my siblings still attend school in san francisco. this caused a lot of physical and mental shame which resulted in a lack of focus on important aspects of regular lifelike academics and the core values that come with a stable environment. we could not grow with mentality it was detrimental.

our parents felt like failures. they thought their hard work was never paying off because it was a constant battle to get to work and their children weren't living to their full potential. they never realize the root of the problem nor were they capable of fixing it. the problem wasn't with them. it was with the lack of education and resources in the community. i am saying there is something that needs to be done about this i share my story with use of families are in a similar situation won't have to go through those trials. i had hoped for the future generations to have a solid family foundation so that they can grow in the most effective and positive way. this is why i support this project. build it. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is steve landers and i'm here to talk about the 1979 mission project. i am in favor of this proposal because san francisco is in a housing crisis. when this project goes out, it

will increase the supply for the demand to live in a highly desired mission district. this will be the best example of what modern living in inner-city should look like. the developer has made it a priority to preserve the mission culture. enclosing, i believe these benefits will pave the way for how other developers interact with the community about our needs. i want to say, we are not astroturf. we are real people who are living in the mission right now. that is why i am going after this. we actually do want this. thank you and we look forward to the meeting. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is kimberley brown and i am a san francisco born and

raised native. have two sense that i have raised in the mission district and i would like to say, i have 20 years in housing and rebuilding housing through the san francisco housing authority hope six project. my family was displaced for six years. i know what it is to be displaced. i support the 1979 mission street project because no one's housing will be displaced. and as we are in a housing crisis, we need to mixed income housing, which this project will bring. also, i attend my doctors appointments. sometimes it is very scary walking to the mission street corridor, 16th and mission to catch the bus or catch the train

i support this project because it will bring safe and decent housing. it will bring a cultural arts complex to the site and no one will be housed -- housing will not be displaced. i fully support this project. i support the efforts that this project has brought to the community. it is a very diverse and supportive project throughout district nine. as you can see. we have people from all cultural backgrounds and all economical backgrounds and i fully support 1979 mission for all. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is francisco. i am a local artist and muralist the thing that this project brings to the table is community involvement in employing and not

only employment, but creating an outlet for local creative artists and youth to be able to have a platform to display their talents of community and make it a better place to be. as the artist who is working on the murals around mission for all at the plaza, i have received nothing but positive feedback in terms of bringing color and beautifying the neighborhood. we all know 16th and mission isn't the most beautiful place right now. if we could bring opportunity back to the community, i am for it. >> thank you, very much. next speaker, please. >> hello, commissioners. my name is raphael. you have probably seen me here before. against the monster on the mission, i didn't want this building to be built. it is ugly as hell.

i had a change of heart. i met -- as a community leader who represents my community from gay, lesbians, homelessness, people being evicted, black and brown people getting murdered by the police, i do not represent one section of my community. i represent my entire community including a shop for all who is a large part of the community. they were raised in my community i will not go on the details about the benefits out of this project for our people, but i don't like to see people falsely accused of doing things that i know they didn't do. i don't believe one bit. i went to a meeting and i let the so-called "community gatekeepers "know that i will not tolerate this. especially the ones that are --

in support of this building being built. we need housing. i work with homeless people all the time. i see them on the streets. they are living in their cars with their children. we have horsemen middle school being used as a homeless shelter for children and their parents not being housed. the more we delay affordable housing being built, the more people will be homeless on the streets. children. sixteen coalition says that maximus did all this to stop the meeting from happening. i don't believe that one bit. i believe we need to give the building builds and get people in homes. nobody is being displaced. it is not really hurting anyone to get the building builds. this will help the community. why are people against it? it is beyond me. why have they not met with other community members? i know you all hear me.

>> thank you very much. >> hello. my name is karen. i'm a born and native. i always mention this when i see you, but there is a big importance of that. i am still they are to the day. i plan to stay there for the rest of my life if i can, if i don't get pushed out or gentrified. i did write a nice speech because i do go all over the place. but, let me see. i do numerous work within the communities. i have given 27 years of community service. seven of those years may have been paged through agencies. twenty is pro bono. i have seen our young people disrespected through these proceedings or through this horror -- whole ordeal.

meeting with young people, and you see them, they are all people's color. i have seen videos where they are attacked. i've seen videos where they are yelled out, disrespected. being from there and being a youth advocate, i definitely will not tolerate that. they should be able to be heard, especially because of the end of the day, we may not have money to say we are stakeholders, but we are stakeholders by birth and by blood. this project has been the only project, and i am usually the opposer. the reason why is because a lot of people talk about community benefit yet we have never seen community benefit from any other project that has -- not affecting our community that is really impacted by all of this. so when i finally sat down to meet with our young people, i have seen the changes that maximus has had given them the opportunity to make.

this building has everything that our community has built, down to the grain of concrete and windows that they are going to use to build this building. no developer has them and us that opportunity to do this. >> thank you very much. >> please support and hurried the belt. >> thank you very much. we appreciate it. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is richard. i have had the opportunity to play, live, and work in the mission since 1978. one of the third things i would like to say to all of you is that there is not one enemy in the mission that represents everybody. it is fragmented. there are different constituencies, as you see. i will say this to you. this group of multi- color individuals that came together today and came together on thursday in front of city hall represents the mission. the mission is not one color.

and his many colours. and what is most important about all of this is that we look at the data. the opposition is screaming bloody murder that maximus is just the worst pay corporation in america. i strongly urge people to look at the data and i would really like to take the last ten years, if not 20 years, and run the benefits -- community benefits analysis on every development in the mission and see what the real truth is. i would tend to believe that maximus would probably be up there in the top tier, given back to the community in a significant way that is not only resulting in brick and mortar, but in human development. all these young people that came up to you today, they are people of color who live and work and are born in the mission. we are not coming in here attacking opposition but what is real clear to me is the opposition comes here and a tax asked. for five years, it has been stalemated.

i strongly urge you to push the process forward and let the data talk for itself. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is willie and i'm here to voice my support for the 1979 mission project. i am a construction worker. i just started. and that is because admission for all. they helped me get the job. i love how this proposal aims to prioritize local higher opportunities for the unions and people in san francisco. as far as getting housing built on 16th and mission, all you have to do is go there and stand there for four or five minutes and see the activities and see was going on. i don't want to go stand on 16 th and mission because

everything that's going on. so as far as helping the community get better and clean the community up, i advise you guys to go and stand and look for five minutes. that's all it takes. you will see why this has to happen. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. my name is doug and i am a business owner three blocks away from the project. i support this project because i think about the amount of time it takes my employees to get to work. i have some of them living all over the place. i think how much their lives would be improved if they could have a three block block to work i think about the parking troubles -- troubles they have. if they have to take a morning off, they have to circle the block for hours to find a parking space. compare that to a block down the street.

we think about that pollution created by all the cars come across the bridge. this would relieve a lot of stress on people and the environment. i am really pushing for this project and i appreciate your consideration. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> i own two business is a block away from the proposed building. i have been in the mission since the late nineties. whether working, managing, or owning a business. nobody here disagrees that it does need a lot of improvement. the proposed improvement is offering jobs, safety and offering housing because 25% of something is something at 100% of zero is zero housing. that area in desperate need for improvement. all you have to do is walk by the area and see if you want your child to take transit from that area or not. if you look at the plan, it is clean and safe and offers a lot of housing and jobs. i appreciate your attention. >> thank you very much.

next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is roxanne. i am a native san franciscan. i am a former business owner. for 35 years i owned and operated a small business half a block from this proposal. i urge you and i truly believe that this proposal will create safety and simulate small -- stimulates the small business economy. i urge you to listen to our voices and small business merchants. we need safer transit. this proposal will provide adequate housing and will stimulate the economy and we would like to have a date, november the 29th, would be an ideal date. we thank you so much and we urge you to listen to our voices. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. i have a fish does business admission and 16th. we have been there for the last

20 years. we are ready to open another business next week. i am supportive of this project. we need to clean up the mission. we need this project to happen. this month is one of my -- my friend is shutting down to business. we need to stay in business. please approve this project. we really need to help. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> i'm from the cultural action network. i'm not paid by maximus or incentivized in any way. i ask you to shake off what you have been hearing for a while. i just want to introduce a new subject. i will talk about it more in future public comments. but i would like to ask the planning commission to ask planning to develop a new tool for community planning. and a lot of times the reviews

are used on one side or the other to discuss a project and its impacts. but we all know that it is the wrong tool for doing that. it is very important to exist. it must not be weekend on a state level. sometimes it is misused and then people say, let's just take it away. we need to keep it. but we need another tool in san francisco to help the communities look at projects. a tool that includes both local, physical impacts, social impacts et cetera. you might think of it as just a study outline process tool that should be applied to projects. they have taken los out of it. we really don't know.

>> good afternoon, everyone. i'm a san francisco native. i travelled all the way out here from palo alto. is deeply on my heart here to come up here and let you know how serious it is to get this project built. we need to help the people in the plaza and we need housing. it will provide more jobs for everyone in the community.

please take it seriously. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i i'm a mission resident working for the mission economic development agency. i just wanted to say thank you to the president of the commission to really try to organize this meeting to hear all the community. all people who need to talk about this project and i cannot be more in agreement with the mission for all. we need affordable housing. one thing that i hope that they listen is that the mission community needs to get together and we are able to deliver. i. i want to remind everyone, four years ago, there was no affordable development in the mission. now we have seven projects, affordable housing that are in the process.

it would be 778 for families who have been evicted. we can do, and deserve deserved better for the mission. we want -- the marbled marble will have a market and support artists. if this city is willing to do that and provide affordable housing for this neighborhood and avoid gentrification, let's do it together. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i'm here on behalf of the housing action coalition. this project was going on for many, many years. i'm surprised that we are still off it. i would remind you that this site has been zoned at 105 feet for over 30 years. it was always intended that there would be a project on 1979 mission. it is a perfect location for high density urban infill on one of the most heavily used transit

corridors in the bay area. and to this project, as it's moving forward, god it is going slowly. this is finally going to deliver on the promise of building housing above a station. and then a topic that's been bugging me for a long time is in many ways, this plaza is the worst of what san francisco has to offer. in terms of police responses to it and what you see, i spent a lot of time going by. i use the b.r.t. station. if you spend time there, it is the place where families with kids, women, old people, they don't spend time there. they put their heads down and they walked quickly by. this place is crying out for investment of the type that can be delivered by a project of this scale. the mcardle and all the other things go with it. it has gone on for way too long and it would deliver a high level of subsidized housing. just what the city needs. i hope you will not do anything

to slow it down. keep this going as fast as possible. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm also born and raised in the mission. i have been organizing for 14 years. i just got a really special tax from a friend who is watching and says that the communities behind us. we represent many organizations. i just wanted to finish reading the letter that was presented to you by the plaza 16 coalition. it has been clear that since the inception of this project, this developer is not interested in hearing two basic norms of decency. they have engineered deception tactics via false petition gathering, false advertising of the 16th street b.r.t. station and in the general community,

false paid support at the reactor his rallies and a falsity written letter sent by the law firm to the mayor of the board of supervisors and each of you. the controversy surrounding this issue is due to the project and that it does not reflect the housing needs for the mission. the mission has been and remains to be united in our demand to build 100% affordable housing on 16th street b.r.t. plaza. we fully expect the planning commission and planning department to take this with a level of critical priority warranted as normalization of this behavior cannot be allowed to transpire. i also want to honour richard hillis for supporting getting mission high school even though it does not -- he did not work out. a just a comment about the plaza not being clean, we have our supervisor and workers from the bart station who continuously clean it. it might be outdated information thank you. >> inc. you. next speaker, please.

>> good afternoon, commissioners i am a member of the san francisco land use coalition. this was a slightly different subject. i would like to say, interpreting election result is a tricky business. one thing i am certain that i learned from this recent election is i am happy that i live in california and i'm really grateful that i live in san francisco. i believe the results of the board of supervisors elections, as we understand them so far, on a baggy -- unambiguously show that we san franciscans have deep concerns about our city, particularly homelessness, housing affordability and displacement. i believe the election show support for supervisors and people who want to address the challenges of the city of affordability and homelessness without getting our neighborhoods. and is a rejection of pernicious efforts of unconstrained capital and growth and of those who think the problems to the solutions we face is to improve by building anything anywhere or build as much as possible and as

fast as possible. in our safety, it was a vote for planning before building and for protecting the vulnerable and ensuring we can manage growth in the city and protect what makes it special. in the past week, i attended three preapplication meetings within one block of my house including one for proposed demolition of a 35 square hundred 3500 square-foot house and replace it with a residence. not all of these are as pernicious as this one and not all projects are bad. many are good. it is important to know that despite the market market over -- over exuberance, there will not be one new unit of housing added and a relative affordability of housing will not be improved. we commit to work with the new board and with you to improve housing policy to make sound decisions on proposed projects that support justice and housing for all i did occasionally resist sacramento justice california must resist washington and to improve

control over demolition. thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners i am also a member of san francisco land-use coalition. i couldn't have said it better than mr bowen. about five months ago, i was here telling you about game changer. a last election -- our last election on june 5th. the reason i brought it up was because people in san francisco voted for free legal representation for tenants who were being evicted. fast forward to today, and here we have our election as it proved. it was a repudiation, a resigning repudiation of the platform. and a real estate lobby. as you know, they spend money

that went into this one pink -- $1.3 million but none of those candidates who were supporting on this, no regards for the eviction and displaced tenants. none of them won the seat. people of san francisco have spoken. i know that you, as a body, who represent san francisco, you do listen to us. i have been here representing people who are being displaced and you did lesson and i am grateful. i know that you will take note of this. one other thing that i wanted to bring to your attention, which is a startling piece of information, the most impressive when it was a district six. district six has zero numbers of single family homes. there is not one rh one, rh two or rh three. my information comes from the planning department. they did not pull this data correctly. this was out of their data.

there is not one single family home. nevertheless, they voted 57% for the person who is not standing there and same, build baby filled with no restraint and no regard he met thank you. >> thank you. >> any additional general public comment? >> happy birthday. i want to talk today about the residential design guideline and the demo. may i have the overhead, please? this is a project that you approved that is a complete demo this is what the people see in their backyard. granted, it is two units. i think this is beyond the tolerances of privacy. it is extreme. they are willing for you to come and visit and see it in person. you can contact me and planners

can, or any members can come. they are not saying don't build, they are just saying build a little less and respect we who have lived there forever. this is acceptable. i showed you this before. that was the original house. here it is through the alteration. there it is. there it is. and here it is now. it just sold for 400,000 over asking at $5.5 million. the profit from the sale, two sales in 2015, one after the other and then a few months ago, a few weeks ago, is $4 million. >> thank you. >> it didn't move. >> you probably had two and a half minutes. >> one more question then i will go. one more picture. >> this is also an alteration.

millionaire's wrote like it is looking like. >> we are doing that. staff is working on modifications. that will be early next year. >> like many folks in the mission, i was really disappointed that we cancelled the meeting. i know that commissioner hillis worked diligently to try to get it rescheduled and it didn't work out. i'm hoping that we are going to do it at the earliest convenience. i was surprised by a lot of the public comment that we're speaking to a specific project with a bunch of community benefits that i had never heard of, nor have i seen. i was going to ask staff if you had anything like we haven't seen. because people were talking about a market and talking about a level of affordability. it was a project i was totally

unfamiliar with. i know we will hear it in february. is there anything that we can share with the public that has been submitted about this project? >> a range of ideas that would exceed baseline affordability. it has been discussed and no button --dash it -- nothing been formally submitted. >> it would be good. we are anticipating february 7 th hearing back at mission high school. it would be good to know from staff on where the project is and what is before us at that point. we have talked a lot about this hearing and having it and who cancelled it. i know for a fact that plaza 16

requested this hearing a couple of years ago. we said yes, and agreed to do it in the neighborhood. they were the ones who got the mission high school location. i spoke to the principal a week before the hearing who said he wanted to cancel because there was an open house at the same time for mission high school and he was anticipating a large hearing. we work diligently with plaza 16 to get a reschedule rescheduled to everett middle school. we were not able to do it in a week. they have been working to have this and get it scheduled. we want to hear it's because points are raised. we do not know what the project is. we hear affordability percentages thrown around that are new to us. lets have the hearing in february and commit to having it in february and get input on that project. we can move to the regular calendar. >> very good. item 12.

1550 evans avenue. this is a planning code and zoning map amendments. >> good afternoon, commissioners i am with the planning department staff. with us here today, is sophia from supervisor cohen's office. she will share with us briefly and then i will continue with staff presentation. >> thank you. thank you for hearing this item today. you will hear a complete presentation from planning staff about the project in general. i am the legislative aide to president cohen. the item before you today is a special use district for the 5.s which is owned by the public utilities commission. first and foremost, president cohen would like to express her undivided support. we are thrilled that this site

is being built, fulfilling a long-standing premise to the community in bringing with it essential community benefits like childcare space, public art , conference room, playgrounds, meeting space, a café and parking. is long overdue and we cannot wait to see this much-needed developments. the special use district also allows for housing and the potential uses. on a plot of limes this size, it would be a shame to permanently designate all undeveloped space is off-limits for housing. it allows for an intentionally vague below market rate housing to allow for future public discussion about what the most appropriate affordability levels are. be that workforce housing for the p.u.c. or other use. site is ideally located for housing development in a central location in the neighborhood and directly on a transit corridor or. we are well aware that there has been neighborhood pushback

against the potential use for the site for housing developments tied to the in lieu fees. i want to be very clear that there is not any specific plan identified for housing development at this time. india basin has been signed and entitled and will have no bearing on the potential housing at 1550. the p.u.c.'s promise to build a fantastic community center is alive and well in this legislation. plant --dash president cohen feel strongly that it is the role of the district supervisor to lead on these decisions together with the input of the bayview hunter's point community and that the future supervisors should have the opportunity to tap that discussion and lead on that issue. there is no other circumstance in which a large publicly owned property will move forward without discussion of housing. any such development in the development would go through a community process and make sure that that housing is built to reflect and support bayview hunter process point community. it is the backbone of the city.

it has borne the wait and responsibility of the industrial history, served as a court order for a city street ways and relevant to the p.u.c., is a home with our wastewater treatment operations to name just a few. it has long suffered from underinvestment in transit and housing ending community benefits. imposing, this is a great and beautiful planned that the p.u.c. has presented. we are very enthusiastic about the community center and we hope that you will approve this inclusionary and essential zoning development to continue to encourage vibrancy and rules -- growth for the community. >> thank you, very much. >> commissioners, the proposed ordinance would amend the planning code and zoning map to create the 1550 evans special use district. the proposed s.u.d. would provide planning code to remove 1550 evans avenue from the india

basin industrial park s.u.d. and add a new section establishing the 1550 evans s.u.d. in addition to the uses allowed in the existing p.d.r. zoning district, the s.u.d. would principally permit institutional community uses, institutional education uses, restaurants, limited restaurants, arts activities and below market rate residential buildings. parking uses in the 1550 evans s.u.d. would be exempt from the accessory parking limit. and the requirement to replace demolished industrial buildings. it would not apply in this s.u.d. they propose to continue to meet the requirements of state water resources.

since the publication of the report, a letter of support has been submitted and has been printed for the planning commission. the department recommends the commission approved, with modifications, the proposed ordinance and adopt the attached draft resolution to that effect. the recommended modifications include removing the language that allows housing in the special use district and if housing is allowed in the proposed s.u.d., then defining parameters for building housing and clarifying the definition of below market rate housing. this concludes the presentation. at this point, staff would like to introduce a san francisco public utilities commission will provide a presentation on their plans for and involvement of the avenue.

>> good afternoon. i have the privilege of serving as the deputy director for community benefits of the san francisco public utilities commission. and joined on my left by the project manager for this project at the p.u.c. as well as greta jones who is a senior design manager at d.p.w. she will speak shortly on the specifics. i like to provide you with some context. provide you with context for this project. the southeast plant is our agency's oldest and largest wastewater treatment plant. is located in the heart of bayview and responsible for treating 80% of our combined rainwater and sewage flow. as i mentioned, it is located in the heart of bayview's hunters point and encompassing a ten block area between oakdale

avenue and evans avenue, one block west of the third street corridor or. the plant was expanded to the current footprint in 1982 to comply with the 1972 federal community water act. next line, please. during this time, community members self organized to ensure that the city and the state would address social, economic and environmental impact of the treatment plant expansion. led by the big six,. the community successfully security mitigation agreement with the city in 1982. this agreement read, the construction of a commercial greenhouse and skilled training centre is a reasonable, necessary and appropriate means for mitigation of social and economic impacts associated with the proposed southeast
