will cause neighborhoods to fill bigas with gas. individual fires that are not immediately fought will cause fire storms there rage through our 15 currently unprotected neighborhoods, where there are no high pressure hydrants. if you haven't made the mental link between what happened in the burned out santa rosa neighborhoods or the town of paradise, then i suggest as members of the disaster council, it might be beneficial to make a special effort to become educated in the subjects of one, the geology of northern california, and, two, the histories of the 1906 and the 1986 earthquakes. i provided a list of relevant books and d.v.d.s to help you get started, which i did not have enough of those, but i apologize for that. maybe you can share. and although some of the books are out of print, everything on the list that i have provided is

available through online vendors. thank you. >> chairwoman: thank you. our next item, item number six, i would like to call for a motion to postal pone this item and the interest of time. we're now over our meeting time. do i have a motion to postal pone? postpone -- sorry, it is item seven. thanks, brian. >> it was going to be really good. you're going to have to come to the next meeting. >> chairwoman: all in favor? any opposed? okay, thank you. okay. all right. next is disaster council roundtable. so this is an opportunity where any -- oh, i'm sorry.

i'm sorry. are we -- we continued this item until next time. no? just -- okay. okay. did everyone understand that? okay. so...we're going to do this item then, it sounds like. sorry, jorge. thank you. >> so i'm -- good morning, i'm with the office of economic and workforce development. i'm here to speak about our small business recovery efforts regarding the geary parker fire that occurred earlier this year. just really quickly, after the fire, our team went out there just to assess and connect with the small business owners and connect with their employees, to make sure they felt supported on behalf of the city. soon after that, we learned that directly there was one business that was impacted, hong

kong lounge, and two non-profits, huckleberry use programs, and human services network, which is actually a sub tenant of huckleberry, which we learned after. and soon after that, we had a -- also we learned there were other businesses indirectly impacted, like h & r block across the street and others. we reached out to them to see how they were doing, and most of them were fine. those are the three we focused our services and attention to. soon after that, our rapid response team went out, which is on the workforce side, to connect with the small business owners' employees and ensure they felt supported. we hosted an event a week later, where 14 of the 25 employees of huckleberry and hong kong launch attended. some of the employees of the hong kong launch needed support and services. some of them had already found other ployment at employmt

that time. soon after that, we also deployed the applications for our disaster relief fund, which is up to $10,000 grant available to small business owners or the non-profits for their recovery efforts after that. to date, hong kong launch has applied and received the resources. huckleberry has supplied, and we're still waiting on the application from the human services network, which have expressed interest in applying. they do have 12 months after the incident occurs to apply for the resources. most of the resources are utilized for either unforeseen expenses because of the fire, or where employee watches and relocation fees. if there are any questions, i'm happy to answer them. >> chairwoman: are there any questions? it was really great -- i was out there at the night of the fire, and to have your staff there in the field immediately responding, i think, was very helpful. so thank you so much.

i look forward to a continued partnership. any public comment on this item? okay. seeing none, we're going to move on to our disaster council member roundtable. this is an opportunity for any disaster council member to make an announcement and share information. do we have anyone? yes. >> good morning, everyone. kate howard from d.h. r. i just wanted to remind city departments that d.h. r. will be conducting a disaster service workers test of the alert system on april 18th. the request i have of you is to encourage your employees to update their contact information, in particular their cell phone information or an e-mail address, so that we're able to both reach them during the test, and once they get that notification on their e-mail or cell phone, that

they then respond, as the alert directs them to. not only do we know they got it, but also that they are responding to us inbound. i'm happy to report on the success of that at our next meeting. >> chairwoman: okay. chief? >> good afternoon, everyone. joanne hayes white, san francisco fire chief for 30 more days. that's the reason for my comment. i want to acknowledge this is my last disaster council meeting. it has been an honour and privilege to serve. this disaster council is essential, as the chief-of-staff said. and what i've seen over my career is a much greater collaboration between agencies under the embrul oumbrella of the department of emergency management. i know that will continue. i've been privileged to serve under all of the mayors, mayor newsom, now our governor, mayor lee, and now w with mayor breed.

and all have been very supportive and infatic that public safety and disaster preparedness be part of our daily discussions. i wish everyone the best. thank you. [applause] >> chairwoman: thanks, chief. we're going to miss you. so do we have any public comments? we can offer public comment on any items not on the agenda at this time? >> nancy worefold, again, speaking on items not on the agenda. after over 100 years of successfully serving to protect san francisco from catastrophic fires, our

city's unique tradition of having two independent pipeline and hydrant systems is about to be abandoned on the west side of the city. they are not planning on expanding the original auxiliary supply system as we were always promised. instead, their promoting a single pipeline and hydrant water system that can be used to provide treatable, portable water for human uses, and non-portable water for firefighting through the same pipeline. after the 1906 earthquake and fire, it was clear that the city must have two separate water delivery systems, with one just to fight large fires with sal saltwater. access to unlimited saltwater, which is immediately available, is the key to suppressing fires. the plan is seriously flawed for the following reasons: it eliminates the dual pipeline system to fight fires. it does not have access to unlimited supplies of water immediately available to suppress

multiple or simultaneous fires. it does not extend to all of the unprotected neighborhoods in the western and southern portions of the city. it creates contamination of our drinking water pipes. if the water from lake mersed is pumped into the two lines to help fight fires. miles of these polluted pipes must then be flushed out with unknown volumes of clean drinking water before returning it to domestic uses. police remember that this p.u.c. plan is for a dual-purpose, single pipeline, which is the only way firefighters will access continuously available water on the west side. after an earthquake, the city will need to conserve portable water for human use, not required to flushpoint. even when the $4.8 billion upgrade to deliver the water to the city, with that no one can guarantee that these pipelines will be intact after a seismic

event. i remind you that the mock moc mockisan pipeline is still being repaired, so breaks do happen. you have not developed a plan to address all of the problems that the p.u.c. brings to fighting fires. please put this item on your next meeting's agenda. thank you. >> chairwoman: thank you, everyone. our next scheduled meeting -- oh, i'm sorry. go ahead. >> my name is dick morten. this week the chronicle reported that usgs issued a report saying that california is in an earthquake drought. 1800 to 1918, ground ruptures -- there was a plethora of ground

ruptures. we haven't had anything similar to that subsequent to 1918. they don't count it as being a major ground rupture. so we're in this hiatus between significant quakes. are we being complacent in only planning for mild earthquakes that we experienced like loma parada? there are 15 non-auxiliary water supply neighborhoods in this city, involving 370,000 people. there is also a lack of 140,000 housing units, plus public facilities, community facilities, businesses. businesses have no protection. they have not had any protection since loma

parada, 30 years ago. we also have to take into account how many lives will be lost and how many injuries will be sustained by residents and visitors in those neighborhoods. don't these non-awss neighborhoods deserve attention and support? supervisor marr sent an e-mail to me recently about the bond capacity has been increased by 2. -- from 2.5 billion to 2.7 billion, around $200 million. the proposed capital plan does not have expansion of awss into these vulnerable neighborhoods.

disaster can be avoided for you, you, you. >> chairwoman: thank you. do we have any further public comment on this item? seeing none, i thank you all for being here. and i will see you on june 21st, which our next scheduled meeting. >> thank you.

san francisco, 911, what's

the emergency? >> san francisco 911, police, fire and medical. >> the tenderloin. suspect with a six inch knife. >> he was trying to get into his car and was hit by a car. >> san francisco 911 what's the exact location of your emergency? >> welcome to the san francisco department of emergency management. my name is shannon bond and i'm the lead instructor for our dispatch add -- academy. i want to tell you about what we do here. >> this is san francisco 911. do you need police, fire or medical? >> san francisco police, dispatcher 82, how can i help you? >> you're helping people in their -- what may be their most vulnerable moment ever in life. so be able to provide them immediate help right then and there, it's really rewarding. >> our agency is a very combined agency. we answer emergency and non-emergency calls and we also do dispatching for fire, for

medical and we also do dispatching for police. >> we staff multiple call taking positions. as well as positions for police and fire dispatch. >> we have a priority 221. >> i wanted to become a dispatcher so i could help people. i really like people. i enjoy talking to people. this is a way that i thought that i could be involved with people every day. >> as a 911 dispatcher i am the first first responder. even though i never go on seen -- scene i'm the first one answering the phone call to calm the victim down and give them instruction. the information allows us to coordinate a response. police officers, firefighters, ambulances or any other agency. it is a great feeling when everyone gets to go home safely at the end of the day knowing that you've also saved a citizen's life. >> our department operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365

days a year. >> this is shift work. that means we work nights, weekends and holidays and can involve over time and sometimes that's mandatory. >> this is a high stress career so it's important to have a good balance between work and life. >> we have resources available like wellness and peer support groups. our dispatchers of the month are recognized for their outstanding performance and unique and ever changing circumstances. >> i received an accommodation and then i received dispatcher of the month, which was really nice because i was just released from the phones. so for them to, you know, recognize me for that i appreciated it. i was surprised to even get it. at the end of the day i was just doing my job. >> a typical dispatch shift includes call taking and dispatching. it takes a large dedicated group of fifrst responders to make ths department run and in turn keep the city safe. >> when you work here you don't work alone, you work as part of

a team. you may start off as initial phone call or contact but everyone around you participating in the whole process. >> i was born and raised in san francisco so it's really rewarding to me to be able to help the community and know that i have a part in -- you know, even if it's behind the scenes kind of helping the city flow and helping people out that live here. >> the training program begins with our seven-week academy followed by on the job training. this means you're actually taking calls or dispatching responders. >> you can walk in with a high school diploma, you don't need to have a college degree. we will train you and we will teach you how to do this job. >> we just need you to come with an open mind that we can train you and make you a good dispatcher. >> if it's too dangerous to see and you think that you can get away and call us from somewhere safe. >> good. that's right. >> from the start of the academy to being released as a

solo dispatcher can take nine months to a year. >> training is a little over a year and may change in time. the training is intense. very intense. >> what's the number one thing that kills people in this country? so we're going to assume that it's a heart attack, right? don't forget that. >> as a new hire we require you to be flexible. you will be required to work all shifts that include midnights, some call graveyard, days and swings. >> you have to be willing to work at different times, work during the holidays, you have to work during the weekends, midnight, 6:00 in the morning, 3:00 in the afternoon. that's like the toughest part of this job. >> we need every person that's in here and when it comes down to it, we can come together and we make a really great team and

do our best to keep the city flowing and safe. >> this is a big job and an honorable career. we appreciate your interest in joining our team. >> we hope you decide to join us here as the first first responders to the city and county of san francisco. for more information on the job and how to apply follow the links below.

[roll call]

>> so moved, that motion passes unanimously 6-0. item seven, the accessory dwelling unit, architectural review standard. >> good afternoon, commissioners i am with department staff. the item before you is a request to comment on, no waiver with accessory dwelling units located at properties listed in the california register of historical resources, and those designated individually or as part of article ten or 11 historic district. i'm here to speak strictly to the proposed standards and how department staff have tried to respond to your previous comments. the bulk of this ordinance and the hearing materials were prepared through the diligent work of my colleague who will speak after me regarding the broader legislation, and more

specifics on the three buckets of projects covered by this. the commission first commented on these standards at the march 6th regular hearing, of particular concern, at that hearing, was one whether the overall construction of a single family home containing and 80 you would be ministerial, and where this the case, there are no standards pertaining to the scale, mass and, design and detailing of the single family home. the commission noted that the standards as presented were limited solely to the creation of an aide to you within existing building envelope, or an addition to eight single family home. since that hearing, the department has coordinated with the office of the city attorney and clarified the previously mentioned scenario that in the previously mentioned scenario, only the a.d.u. portion of the project would be ministerial, whereas all other scopes of work would remain subject to the standard review and entitlement process. this also found that an a.d.u. constructed as a detached structure on a lot already

containing a single-family home would be ministerial. as such, we have amended the draft review standards to address the three broad types of projects. one, modification to an existing building for the creation of an a.d.u. this could entail infill under the existing opening such as a garage, or through the creation of a clear exterior opening to the building envelope, or through the expansion of an existing building to create an a.d.u. two, construction of a new single-family homes that would contain an a.d.u. within it, and three, construction of a detached accessory dwelling unit structure on a lot containing an existing fount -- single-family home. as these approvals are ministerial, the standards must be objective rather then discretionary. this necessitates distinction from common preservation guidelines, which speaks to compatibility, consistency where the relation to, in client, and other similar terminology. staffers have received one letter pertaining to this item

with the author stating the standard should apply more broadly, including historic buildings that are not yet listed. department staff recommends approval with any a revision that this body may feel are warranted. i would also like to note that the draft motion in your pockets only represents adoption of the standards and does not delegate the application of the standards to staff at this time. the intent was to carry out such action when the broader delegation package is brought before the commission in may. as the agenda item did mention delegation, however, the commission has the option to amend the motion today to delegate application of these standards to staff today. with that, i will hand it over to veronica, and i'm here for any questions. >> thank you. >> thank you, commissioners. i'm with planning department staff. last time we were here, you have some questions on how and when the census would be applied, and my colleague had walked through

some of the scenarios, but i will actually go over some of the scenarios more specifically, and i have some visuals to help illustrate. also, we don't anticipate the standards will apply to too many projects, just given the very specific type of proposal, and perhaps a vacant lots that we are looking at, but we are seeking adoption of said standards to make sure we comply with state law. i also want to emphasize that the ministerial review is only to be applied to the a.d.u. portion of any project in front of us. so that said, the a.d.u. will not be subject to neighborhood notification or our whole design review, also these a.d.u. his will not be subject to any certificates of appropriateness or permit to alter entitlements. so the first scenario i want to bring up today is that the new single-family home with an a.d.u. on that of a vacant lot, so in this case, the new construction building itself

will be subject to neighborhood notification, including a certificate of appropriateness as necessary. the a.d.u. portion, however, will be ministerial he reviewed. in the case of the associated door or perhaps a required window facing out onto the front façade, those specific features will be ministerial he reviewed. and another example includes that of a new construction on a lot where there is already an existing building, so this is for a separate a.d.u. structure that is located within the buildable area of the lot. in this case, where there is no alterations to the existing structure on the lot, then the new construction a.d.u. building will be ministerial he reviewed. -- ministerial he reviewed.

i thought example we have is not related to an existing single family home where the a.d.u. is located within the building envelope, or within an expansion to the existing structure. in this case, that will be ministerial he reviewed. and the last scenario that i have prepared for today is related to an expansion of a single-family home where the expansion is it dedicated to the primary unit. it is a little different then the last slide, but the difference is where the expansion, to which unit the expansion will be related to. in this case where the expansion is primarily for the unit, and then that expansion, subject to neighborhood notification, subject to the design review, subject to certificates of appropriateness as necessary, and then if the a.d.u. is located within the existing

building itself, again, that is ministerially reviewed. his of the last scenario is, i'll be at the most confusing, and we will see different variations of it but we are discussing internally, and working with d.b.i. to figure out the clearest and smoothest review process. again, today, we are seeking your final approval and adoption of these standards. as my colleague mentioned, we will be including this delegation portion when we return for the delegation agreement amendment next month. the department recommends approval of said standards and this concludes the staff presentation. we are available for any questions. >> thank you. any questions? >> i have a commission -- i have a question. >> may i ask a question, ms. florez? on the first scenario where you have the vacant lot and you are doing a newly constructed house with an a.d.u. within it, how is it possible to separate the

review? because of the windows or the doors are goat -- are all going to be part of the envelope of the new building. there is no way to separate out the two windows on the first floors of the building from the rest of the building. that one seems a little like it will create a little convoluted kind of a review. >> so this is one of these pieces that we are still determining the best way to proceed and we are focusing on, is this portion of the project related to the a.d.u., or is it not? in the example i talked about with the door, is this the door, or is this the window, that we can very clearly determine, however -- >> that is actually not my concern. my concern is that the entire project is going to go through the typical review, so two years later, that a.d.u. will then be

available to get built because you cannot build the ministerial part, you can't build separate from the building you are building. it means that the 80 -- a.d.u. is going through the full process because that will be part of the drawings. so i'm just not sure that that makes any sense, that there is ministerial review when it is new construction inside a new single-family house, because there is no physical way to pull them apart, so that a.d.u. is go -- will not be built until the other project is fully approved, so it just seems like that is not one that has meaning in terms of trying to speed up the process, that is not going to speed up the process. i know that is a small subset because they're not a lot of vacant lots that could handle single families. anyway, that is just a comment. >> thank you. >> that pertains to the process

too. my colleagues, fellow commissioners who are architects and have more experience moving projects through this process than i necessarily do. however, i have projects to come before the planning department i think my basic question is, why do we have a new set of standards? why can't we just have our regular standards? i would be confused coming here for a project with an a.d.u. and -- why don't we just have the regular standards and a new set? >> the city attorney can add to this, if you wish. we have to -- we are compliant with state legislation that allows -- that no no waiver a.d.u. be ministerial. the state legislation does allow for the creation of objective review standards, the normal

process is discretionary, in many ways, so we have to -- we are trying to adjust to that legislation while still ensuring that our landmark districts and buildings are not overly adversely affected by the changes in our legislation. >> it is more driven by having to conform with the state legislation. if we had our preference, we would stick to our own and not have a new set of standards. >> that is correct. >> we only have so much sensibility. >> as you move through to explain this to the public, that would be a piece of the explanation because -- >> to be clear, it is not certain how much this would ever come up. in my time here, and i think natalia has agreed with this, in our landmark districts, we've not had a no waiver a.d.u., there has been a lot of

multifamily buildings which are separate to this. >> did the city attorney want to make further... >> nothing to add to that. >> okay. >> yes, i'm just trying to think of scenarios where this may take place pick it seems if there was a garage at the back of an existing single-family house in the landmark district, you could tear down the garage and put a new building in its place without -- that would be a ministerial process. that is probably one of the likely scenarios. >> except, would it need a variance? most garages are on an alley. >> more code compliant. >> but i am saying, most garages are on alleys and are not code compliant. i don't know how that would work >> a code compliant garage. >> ms. florez, did you want to add to that? >> thank you. the a.d.u. needs to be located in a buildable area, otherwise we would be in variance

territory as you have stated. >> in the buildable area. but if it wasn't a structure that was located in a buildable area of the lot... >> thank you. >> any other comments from the commissioner. >> speaker-04: we open it up to public comment? anyone from the public who would like to make public comment on this agenda item? closing public comment. >> i think that these standards seem reasonable and i would move to adopt them. >> second. >> second the motion. >> there is a motion that has been seconded to adopt the standards. on that motion... so moved, that motion passes unanimously 6-0.

that will place us on item eight this is a landmark designation. >> good afternoon, commissioners , desiree smith, planning department staff. the item before you as a recommendation to the board of supervisors to designate 2851 through 2861, 24th street historically known as studio 24

building as an article ten city landmark. thank you. the building was added to the h.p.c. work program, and in 2016 , as part of the san francisco civil rights project funded by an underestimate -- represented community grant from the national park service. to briefly recap from our last hearing, the subject property is located at the southwest corner of 24th and bryant street in the mission district and within the latino cultural district. this map shows how there are several distinct buildings located on the subject parcel, the subject of this nomination are the two adjacent buildings on 24th street. as written, this landmark nomination pertains only to the two mixed-use buildings at the northern portion of the lot, is

highlighted here in red. it is this portion of the property that houses the workshop retail space known as studio 24. do designation excludes the 1930 rear addition and that attached one-story building at the very rear of the parcel. the department has received six letters in support of the designation. the district nine supervisor is also in support of the designation. a copy of the landmark designation fact sheet was provided to the property owner, which the family trusts. since the first hearing, the department has met with the property owner to discuss the designation. they have received a total of three letters from the owner and two sends -- since then. those have been provided to you all.

the property is significant because of events and its architecture and supported by several local, state and federally funded studies outlining the important contributions of latinos in the 20th century. first, the property is significant for its association with the movement of the late 1960s and seventies and with latino art history as a latter third of the 20th century. it operated out of the corner storefront since 1972, and in 1984, expanded into the adjacent storefront to operate as a gift shop and workspace known as studio 24. the organization operated out of these two storefronts until the end of 2018. it was one of the first latino cultural organizations established in the united states

and was among the earliest professional galleries available to latino artists. historians of latino art have referred to the founding of it as a watershed moment and contemporary latino cultural history. many of the artists who today are associated with the art movement have at some point exhibited their work at the galleria. property is significant for its development of the street cart suburb and neighborhood commercial corridor in the mission district during the gilded age of the latter part of the 19th century. the 24th street commercial corridor and streetcar suburb was previously identified in the city within a city, historic can't -- historical context statement by the mission district. as noted in the context of statement, remaining commercial and mixed-use properties from this period are extremely rare. largely because the 1906 -- 1906 destroyed so much of them throughout the city.

leslie, the property is significant for its architecture as an example of the neighborhood to mixed-use storefronts building of the period featuring italian and edwardian design elements, a full list of of character defining features is available in the landmark designation fact sheet. however, i would like to refresh your memory on a few of those features, especially because some of the letters from the community and to the owners have brought up these two features as a concern. the first feature i would like to discuss is the interior. as i mentioned earlier, the nomination references the california office of historic preservation, latinos in the 20 th century california, national register historical context statement that was adopted by the state historical resources commission. in that document, a framework is included that provides guidance on how to evaluate the significance and integrity of latino cultural centres in california. it identifies the gallery as an

important cultural center that should be preserved, it also specifically states that primary interior spaces of latino cultural centres, especially exhibition and performance spaces should remain intact. [please stand by]

galeria de la ra . >> the mural frame has been identified as a character defining feature as it is an important part of the galeria de la raza's history and speaks to the role of the galeria de la raza plate. today, the space is known

internationally as the liberated bill board. currently, the ordinance identifies the mural frame, but it -- we don't provide clarity on the actual canvas that the digital mural is projected on -- or printed on. so we'd like to propose a minor change to the way this feature is described, so that's why i passed out the red line copy of what we're proposing? so we'd like to propose that the section 3-c-1-h -- >> i'm sorry. which page are you referring to? >> page five, i think. >> so currently, the sign

measuring ten by ten used by galeria de la raza to display painted and digital murals on a temporary and rotating basis, we would like to add such as maiz by frederico guajardo. so the proposed change, the intent of it is to focus -- to show the significance of the mural space to the community mural while also identifying a process for how further changes would be made. >> are those dimensions right? because it looks like an aspect ratio is who ahorizontal. >> yeah, on the image that's on the screen right now. >> it will probably be a typo. we'll get the right measurements, and we'll make

that change. and so then, the second change would be to section -- would be a new section, section five, which would state, it shall be subject to further controls and procedures pursuant to the san francisco planning code and article ten, except with respect to a mural or artwork contained within the bryant street sign, a certificate of appropriateness shall be required only for the proposed removal, demolition or permanent covering of the mural. so this is really in response to -- we're concerned with -- at the h.p.c., what we have purview on is the time, place, and manners, the material, but we wouldn't be weighing in on the content of that mural, so this section is intended to clarify that. so that is the last change that
