it goes to general fund. >> it should go to our fund. the mission of the department was brought up earlier you mentioned the doctor and work he was doing. the mix is to promote the health of the members. that is one of the core parts of the mission. i am curious as to the grade that the cancer prevention folks would give the department in that regard. i would like to know what the cancer prevention people think. how we could do a better job. i think that is a core part of the mission to take care of our own people. to piggyback on that. this commission passed the peer support resolution a month ago and there is a deadline to report back on that.

i want to make sure we meet that deadline. i know you are making the one last week i was in another country. i want to make sure we are on top of that and that in the future when we have wildfiresna we have the resources and support to take care of those people and not at the last moment when it is necessary but early on. if i can update the reassurance the department is going to meet the deadline imposed by the peer support resolution so we can move forward on that. i told you it was a short list, chief. >> it is getting shorter all of the time. >> wild land fires. i guess tha that is a cal fire .

these fires are turning to urban fires. i don't know that we fight wild land fires any more. >> it is the wild land urban interface. >> that word has not impacted how we fight the fires or whether or not we have the right equipment for those fires. i am curious as to the answer to those questions. are we still fighting wild land fires with wild land equipment. are we sure the men and women of our department have what is needed to fight the fires they are fighting today. what resources could you report back we are sending them up with? are they sleep everything in rigs or in tents? >> no, they were well cared for up there. >> if we can get an idea what

that looks like because if there are resources from that privately or internally we need to take care of the troops we send to the fires. >> we can have the mutual aid committee. >> it doesn't have to be an agenda item. maybe a one page on what it looks like for the firefighters to fight the fire and if it is enough by estimation of the department. >> you are not done are you? >> i am going to let it go. >> thank you commissioner. i would hate to see your long list. >> you chief gonzalez. >> to piggyback on the report

about the deployments. i had the privilege to represent chief hayes white at the huntington park nobody hill the other night. the captain was awarded recognition. we nominated him for the appointments. he exemplifies the members that go to the deployments. since 2006 he was deployed 19 crimes. our units were part of saving the camp and lodge. he went to the fire in 2017 as part of the strike time that saved did you house us -- houses in santa rosa. part of the job was looking for evidence. that was the task.

they did a good job at it. i aim happy they got that award. thank you. >> commissioner hard die man. >> commissioner hardeman: attor, remember that. >> i get paid for the results. >> i sign a lot of checks to lawyers. anyway, the training facility in hayward, have you toured that a new one? >> i have not. >> i saw that on tv. i was shocked how lab brat it looked. i was impressed. it impressed me i didn't know

anyone was building the new training facility. they mentioned where the money came from to fund that. it was in one ear and out the other ear. funding for five more engines, can you -- a little more detail what happened there? >> the contract was for $10 million. anything spent over that amount has to be approved by the board of supervisors. does that summit up? >> it was anticipated this number would be the request originally if the money was there to cover them? it is not adding something that

wasn't anticipated? >> we are not asking for more money. we are asking for approval to go forward purchasing the rigs. >> the money is there? that is why i was confused. i asked the right question. >> good evening assistant deputy chief rivera. any city contract up to $10 million. shovels or fire trucks or broomsticks, once that contract reaches a capacity of $10 million we have to get bored of supervisor approval to move forward and to purchase from that specific contract. in this case we are at that point with our fire engines with five. we are going over the $10 million. >> i understand. >> thank you.

>> the one person that was up at thebute fire that is graduating friday is he back to graduate? >> he will be there on friday. >> he is part of 22? >> yes. >> how dedicated are in southern california. we got the thank you letter. they deserve a pat in the back. they went through the terrible ordeal and were withing to go there. we have to thank them. you can't do anything else. they are doing their job and they are american heroes. good people. >> thank you commissioner.

one quick question. on the mou with the gotc, guardians of the city. is there any update on that and how close are we to having the mou finalized and signed off? >> we are meeting next week. >> make sure the commissioners get that information so there is a couple of them there. thank you for your report. please call the next item. >> clerk: item 6, fire commission meeting calendar 2019. discussion and possible action to adopt the 2019 fire commission regular meeting cander. >> public comment? public comment is closed. commissioners, what is your pleasure? >> so move the calendar, mr. president. >> very similar to this year

as chief nicholson said we are at 49 groundbreaking. the mayor was all dressed up in red. she sounded like the comment commission. her heart is in it. she loves the fire department. that was real nice. we had the president of the board speaking also. very nicely done. i am sure it is on tv tonight. it would be covered. all of the brass was there. everybody was smalling. happy to shovel in dirt. it was a fun thing to do. very enjoyable. >> commissioner covington. >> commissioner covington: thank you, mr. president. i echo commissioner hardeman's

seniowaments. it was -- sentiments it was a happy day to see dirt being moved. things will be happening very quickly with the build of station 49, also known as the ambulance deployment facility. it is just a very exciting, you know, and the people waiting for so long to have the facility to finally see there is going to be some movement. very nice day today. >> thank you commissioner covington. deputy chief gonzalez. >> thank you. i am not sure if this is the right time can adjourn --

adjourn in memory of michael kirk. >> happy to do so. no question. >> anything further commissioners. >> i had a couple meetings this past couple weeks. one with the executive director of the bicycle coalition. we have a representative doing a very good job. that individual should come at a future meeting to update how we are interacting with the san francisco bike coalition. we have issues sometimes with them. it is a much better relationship now and i am happy to see that. also met with the black firefighters association president to see how their organization ask going and get his input on our next chief.

finally, i enjoyed the groundbreaking. all of us are happy to see dirt moved and construction by beginning on the new ambulance station 49. it has been a long time in coming. we needed the voters to approve the bond to pay for it. we need voters to approve a bond for the future training facility in excess of $100 million. i hope the voters watching this program will remember us when we come to the ballot in a year and-a-half with a request for funds to build the new training facility. that is it, madam secretary next item. >> agenda item 8 next meeting. >> what ask on the dockets for future meetings? >> cancer prevention coming in. i believe they have the results

should be on the calendar for the next meeting. we have not had a thorough discussion about the training facility and how we are going to get one. >> thank you. >> okay. commissioners, vice president. >> vice president nakajo: are we talking about the items for the december 12th fire commission meeting? point of clarification we still have the december 19th closed session at the headquarters? >> correct. >> okay. in terms of the january calendar, mr. president. what is the commission elections?

. >> happy holidays, san francisco. hundreds of festive lights are illuminating san francisco streets using 100% greenhouse gas free hydroelectric power. this year, the city is celebrating 100 years of providing this power from hetch hetchy system which powers muni, our schools and libraries, street lights, san francisco international airport, city government buildings, private developments, and more. look for holiday bell lights along third street, and illuminated snowflakes on market street. the san francisco public utilities commission and the san francisco public works welcome all to enjoy the magic

of the >> president wolfram:calling this meeting to order. good afternoon and welcome to the san francisco, historic preservation meeting hearing for december 5th, 2018. i would like to remind the public to please turn off your mobile devices that might sound off. i would like to take roll at this time. [roll call] commissioners, first on your agenda is general public comment. at this time members of the public may address the commission, with respect to agenda items your opportunity will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting.

each member may address the commission for up to three minutes. i do have one speaker card. >> president wolfram: does any member of the public wish to speak? i have a speaker card for kathleen courtney. >> on the overhead. thank you. >> good afternoon, president wolfram and members of the historic preservation commission. my name is kathleen courtney and i'm chair of the housing and zoning for the russian hill community association. as architects you are no doubt aware that the san francisco

chapter of the a.i.a. is promoting a tour and presentation of what they are calling 950 residence. which, in fact is the site of the demolished willis polk historic resource. as you are no doubt aware. the tour is december 19th. $40 a person. by invitation only. and i'm sure, given your professional ratings you probably received an invitation. in response to this announcement, the russian hill community association sent a letter to the a.i.a. sf chapter basically saying the integrity and professionalism of the american institute of architects san francisco chapter is compromised by its promotion of this invitation-only tour.

we remember the chapter was purchased by the developer in 2012 for $4.5 million, that over a period of time, the historic resource, the willis polk residence was demolished. june 2017 the developer entered an agreement with the city attorney and the settlement was $400,000. a couple of months later, mike buehler from heritage took a tour of the property and the cottage which was also original, had in fact been demolished for all practical purposes. the property is now on the market for $45 million. this was a significant loss of a historic resource in san francisco.

the same thing is happening at 49 hopkins, which i'm sure you are aware of too. our ask of the san francisco chapter of the a.i.a. is they set up a case study seminar for architects in the city, addressing the issue of what does an architect do ethically when confronted with a situation like this. we ask that the architects here at the preservation commission support this and urge it to go forth. >> president wolfram: thank you. does any other member of the public wish to comment on a non-agendized item, if so please come forward. seeing and hearing none, we will close public comment. >> that will put us under department matters for item 1, directors announcements. he is not able to attend today so we will move onto item 2, review of past events, planning

commission, staff reports and announcements. >> good afternoon, commissioners, tim frye, department staff. one item to share on behalf of the director. he just texted and said he wanted to extend his sort of appreciation and efforts to everyone who worked on the central soma area plan. the legislation was adopted recently. as you are aware there are about 90 properties that are under the purview of this commission. one other item to share with you regarding your special hearing last week on the african american arts and cultural district for the bayview, hunters point district, the board of supervisors took up the proposed amendments and based on this commission's

recommendation last week primarily that were in line with the department's recommendation, one is to loosen up the deadlines in the legislation to provide more flexibility and discretion for the community group to move at its own pace. two is to have some expectation around staff reports, whether it's planning department, m.o.h.c.d., o.e.w.d. or small business commission, in working with those communities. and lastly an opportunity for the board of supervisors to revisit the boundaries once the chhess. once the chhess report is completed, the board may

revisit the boundaries and adjust those boundaries as necessary. i'm happy to report that all of the amendments were suggested by this commission were accepted by supervisor cohen, president cohen. there were some minor tweaks, though. i did want to bring to your attention. so for instance, instead of the chhess report being due by october 8th next year, it's now extended to july 31st, 2020 which gives us an extra year on working with the community on finalizing the report. and then the only other edit, which may be interesting to you is the committee that's outlined, basically the c.a.c., community advisory committee went from 7 to 15 voting members. and now there are 15 specific seats that are required for the c.a.c. however, instead of the c.a.c.

being seated for three years, it's now limited to a one-year process. one thing that i did find interesting though, they did add a seat for seat 6 is to be held by a young person between the ages of 14-18 at the time of appointment. so i think it's great they are reaching out to the younger members of the community and getting them to participate. pardon me? >> [off mic] >> exactly. [ laughter ] i will forward you a copy of the legislation just for your own information, but i did want to let you know those amendments have been incorporated as part of the final product. that concludes my comments, unless you have any other questions. thank you. >> president wolfram: thank you. >> seeing none, commissioners, we can move onto commission matters. item 3, president report and announcements. >> president wolfram: we are planning to have a holiday

gathering on the 19th of december, at 5:00. i'm not sure we have determined a location. we are looking for a legacy business. >> i actually just emailed you the list i received from our staff. >> president wolfram: we will have a location determined shortly. and we will get additional information about that. and that concludes my remarks. >> item 4, consideration of adoption draft minutes for november 7ngth 2018. >> president wolfram: does any member of the public wish to comment on the draft minutes of november 7th, 2018. seeing none, i will close that. do i have a motion? >> i vote to adopt them. >> second. >> thank you, commissioners. on that motion to adopt the minutes for november 7th, 2018, [roll call] so moved. commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7-0. placing us on item 5, commission comments and questions. >> president wolfram: commissioner hyland? >> vice president hyland: i have three things. i will try to keep them brief

so we can move on. i wanted to follow-up on the special hearing from last week and african american heritage strategy, i think is what it's called. there was a term proposed and coined and it's the first i had heard of it. i thought it was worthy of repeating. that is reentrification, this notion of bringing back residents who were either gone, or maybe younger people who could stay. having a young person on the c.a.c., i think, is a great move towards that. instead of gentrification, reentrification. i thought that was good. second, senator weiner has released the beginning of sb-50, the new housing legislation. i spoke with him and he would be willing to come and speak with us. and so we will have staff coordinate with his staff. it looks like the first committee hearing won't happen

until march. so there's a little runway to understand it and for us to get involved and making sure our issues are covered. and then lastly, i bring this up because it's really concerning to me. but i became aware this morning that in houston, jenny's noodle house had a pride mural on the wall. and it was defaced. and they captured the person, a single individual on camera. they haven't found him yet. but they have identified it will be prosecuted as a hate crime. however, what's concerning me is the building owner has decided to paint over it. and i think this falls right into the intangible cultural heritage, the leasor has no control over what the land owner wants to do. i don't know in f in our cultural legacy business and

cultural assets conversation, if houston has been in the dialogue there. but they are looking to paint over the mural, which i personally think is the wrong thing to do and there are ways to protect the mural with anti graffiti paint, so i don't know if we could send a letter to kind of ask them to do something different or help work with the property owner and share some of our lessons learned working with property owners. >> president wolfram: all right. thank you. any other? commissioner johnck. >> i'm interested to know from commissioner hyland in response to the public comment about the proposal to the a.i.a. >> president wolfram: oh 950 lombard. >> 950 lombard. and the proposal. i have a case study about --

>> i think that's a great idea, i have it on my to-do to reach out to the chapter. i was the chapter president a couple years ago. but i don't think we can discuss it any further. >> i know that. i just wanted to react to it. thank you. >> president wolfram: any other comments? >> seeing nothing further commissioners we can move onto item 6, proposed 2019 hearing schedule. you should have received in your packets the proposed 2019 schedule for this commission. january 2nd was cancelled, next year was cancelled as part of last year's hearing schedule. the only cancellations proposed for 2019 are july 3rd and january 1 of 2020. so that's all i have. >> president wolfram: do we need a motion to adopt it? >> we do. >> president wolfram: do we need to take public comment on this? >> we do. >> president wolfram: does any member of the comment wish to

speak to the proposed hearing schedule for next year. seeing none, we will close public comment. do we have a motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> thank you, on that motion to adopt the hearing schedule for 2019, as proposed. [roll call] so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously, 7-0. placing us at consideration for items proposed for continuance. item 7 2016-007303pca for 5 third street and 2016-007303pta at 5 third street, major permit to halt alter and planning code text amendments are both proposed to march 6th, 2019. >> president wolfram: does anyone in the public wish to speak to the continuance of

these items? seeing none. >> the date says proposed for continuance march 2018 instead of 2019. we should probably get that correct. >> president wolfram: thank you. >> so moved we continue these items. >> second. >> thank you, commissioners. on that motion to continue items 7 and 8 to march 6, 2019. [roll call] so moved, commissioners, that passes unanimously 7-0. placing us on your consent calendar.

9. 2018-002677coa (r. salgado: (415) 575-9101) 1179 hayes street located on the south side so moved. >> second. >> [roll call] that passes 7-0. 2015-014028env 3333 california street for the draft environmental impact report. >> good afternoon, president wolfram, members of the commission. my name is allison, planning department, cultural resources manager. joining me leah llewynski --

[naming staff] member of the project sponsor team are also present. we are here to provide an opportunity for the commission to provide comments on the draft e.i.r. for 3333 california street. as part of the hearing you will receive public testimony. however, i would like to remind everyone comments made should be directed to assisting the commission and formulating its comments on the draft e.i.r. and will not be responded to. we have a stenographer present to create a transcript of the proceedings. i would encourage members to speak slowly and clearly to help in this process. i introduce leah to say a few comments about the project. >> hello, commissioners. my name is leigh lewtinski. i have a few remarks before

handing it back to the planning department. it would create 558 or 744 units of housing under the base project and the project variant respectively. in addition to child care, new public open space, neighborhood retail, all while adaptively reusing portions of the existing building. o.e.w.d. is working with the project sponsor to initiate a development agreement which would include commitments to specified community benefits. mayor breed has named housing particularly affordable housing a top priority of her administration. the mayor has continued the work of mayor lee and has initiated new policies aimed at more quickly entitling these projects and increasing the pace new housing is built. this would be an important contribution to these efforts and initiatives as well as contribute to the effort to create new housing all across the sitzy in all neighborhoods

of the city. i thank you for your attention to this project. >> president wolfram: thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. kay, the coordinator for the project. the public review period for the e.i.r. began on november 8th, 2018. and it will continue until 5:00 p.m. on december 24th, 2018. the commission members were provided with links to the notes of public hearing and notes availability of the draft e.i.r. as well as the e.i.r. and its appendixes when it was published november 7th, 2018. the proposed project would redevelop the 10.25 acre site currently occupied by university of california san francisco, laurel heights campus, with total of 13 residential and mixed use buildings. the project site is located in san francisco's presidio heights neighborhood, block southwest of california street,

presidio avenue intersection. the draft e.i.r. finds that the project site including the design landscape spaces is eligible for listing in the california register of historic resources. and historic resource for the purposes of ceqa. in addition in august this year the project site was determined eligible for listing in the national register of historic places and as a result listed in the california register. originally constructed 1956-1957 the mid century modern campus contains a four story 455,000 square foot office building, one story, 14,000 square foot annex building, approximately 2.75 acres of surface parking and 3 acres of design landscape open space. the project would demolish the annex building and surface parking lots and construct 13

new buildings ranging in height from 37-45 feet along the perimeter of the site. in addition, the existing office building at the center of the office site would be partially demolished, vertically expanded to include new levels and adapted to serve as two separate residential buildings. the height of these buildings would range from 80-92 feet. overall the project would include 558 dwelling units. approximately 50,000 square feet of office. 54,117 square feet of retail. a 14,617 square foot child care center. 896 parking spaces. and 236,000 square feet of open spaces. parking would be provided in four below grade parking garages and six individual two-car parking garages.

the e.i.r. also analyzes variance which would replace the office space in proposed walnut building on the northeast corner of the project site with residential uses an increase the height of the proposed building to 67 feet. the variant would include 744 residential units but would not include office use. the draft e.i.r. finds that the project even with mitigation would result in significant and unavoidable project level impacts with respect to transit capacity and construction noise. in addition, the draft e.i.r. finds the project, even with mitigation would result in significant unavoidable impacts to a historic resource. i would like to have justin grieving, senior project planner present the summary of the findings of the d.e.i.r. with regard to historic resources. >> good afternoon, commissioners.

justin griefing, planning department staff. i do have a small powerpoint presentation, which i included as a printout with one of the tables from the e.i.r. and one of the tables that describes the ability of the different alternatives to meet the various project objectives. >> thank you. >> thank you. i thought each one was the one with the clamp. >> so as kim mentioned the subject property has been determined eligible for listing in the california register through this environmental review process. i will provide a brief history of the site, a statement of significance and an identification of

character-defining features of 3333 california, in addition to project impact analysis. i will also present the alternatives prepared in this draft e.i.r. designed by edward b. page for the insurance corporation, also known as f.f.i.c. this san francisco based insurance company started insuring firefighters in 1863 as an incentive to motivate them to more aggressively fight fires that wreaked havoc on the city. as the company expanded coverage expanded to including sailing ships and automobile as they bought up competitor insurance companies. in 1956 the company broke ground on the subject building that would not only consolidate employees but streamline operations by accommodating new data processing systems. the existing 10.2 acre site formerly the laurel hills cemetery provided a unique development opportunity to

create a mini corporate campus in the middle of the city rather than move headquarters outside of san francisco. [please stand by...] .

... of open space and is an important example of the work of architects. the feature in california, include the landscape features and features of the office buildings. the character features of the site and landscape include the following... the campus setting featuring an office setting on the large landscape site and the landscaping and the park ways and driveways and other features.

along with brick walls. the reinforced concrete with brick. on the campus, an open area along the street and a concrete parking lot atop. our character defining features are the natural site. the architecture style. and lastly, the aluminum framing system in a regularly space.

and those topics. they are divided into two buildings. they would have a curtain wall and two storey. the alterations alter all the features of the office building. the clearing of the site including project variance with mature plantings and landscape features that contribute to the architect of the site.

t in order to receive comments to be included. some of the comment are a request to better understand the character defined feature of the landscape in site would be affected. the commissioners provided recommendations to increase the development and increase housing along the california street. exploring how it impacted some of the more important views of the site. the alternative are improvements received as well as consideration of the building and information provided in the national register. as for the alternative, there is analyzed through the project. one being a project alternative along with two full preservation

alternatives, a partial preservation alternative and a code alternative. a preservation alternative would reduce the impact to the resource to less than significant levels. where the proportional alternative, even the litigation would have significant and unavoidable impact to historic resources. it would be less compared to the project variance. i will talk a little bit about each of the alternatives. alternatives b is the full preservation. creating an alternative, to reflect the findings of the national registry nomination and receive the characters of the building and along with the features of the site and landscape as identified in the national register nomination. the existing footprints of the main building will be retained in the entirety. new construction is limited to the northern
