main street corridor. regardless of what my neighbors shared about the children, the retirees, the elders, it is really an unsafe retail space for dispensary. sure, let's put in a laundromat, coffee bar, grocery store. traffic will be a head ache and continue on being a major issue. unless you tell me you can say let's put in a traffic light there, we don't have traffic lights. pacific avenue does not have a traffic light. does not have speed bumps. how do you prevent the ride shares speeding through with a large amount of increase in traffic? we just possibly cannot allow a dispensary in the neighborhood, especially with the large amount of traffic that it will bring in. thank you for your time.

>> good afternoon. my name is (inaudible) i was born and raised in on pacific avenue in the home i live in. i grew up first 5 years of life my grandmother who taught me about qualities and characteristics of my character i feel has gotten me where i am today. this is why i'm so concerned about grandparents, elders and childrens because at this age for me for everyone here it may be around the same time that it is fundamental to our development. it is safety, security and it is help me become more (inaudible) that is why i dedicate my life to doing what i do today and been doing that the last 20to 30 years because i believe in this neighborhood. i believe in the people

of this neighborhood. i believe they are our strength and stability sustainability of our community. i also want to raise one other issue about the amount of cannabis stores. if we look here--this is the project site and the red is where the proposed project is. in the green are existing cannabis stores. now, this is the pipeline of cannabis stores in and around the area. there is

over-saturation that will happen and our concern is not just our own neighborhood and own block, but in our neighborhood and boarder neighborhoods more and more (inaudible) we are not- >> are thank you, that is your time. >> daniel (inaudible) 1650 jones street and not go toog argue about the children and elders because they are children and elders in the tenderloin and many other areas where there are cannabis stores. but what i don't understand is they talk about the fact the closest cannabis is larken and california. 1436 pacific avenue a pot store i know about and i buy pot from emily pointed out it is called high tops cannabis. 1436 from 1196 is not that far,

so i don't know why that has not come on the radar and don't know why the cannabis committee didn't know there was cannabis. 24 hours it open. i'm not against a pot store, i smoke spot and goes to grass roots on polk since it was medical marijuana. i don't think our neighborhood is appropriate. i do think the amount of (inaudible) no extracharge we need a cannabis store around the corner from us. thank you so much. >> okay. before we go to our remote callers i'll ask for any additional members of the public in the chambers to come forward if you wish to submit your testimony. now would be the time. okay. seeing no other members in the chambers we will go to remote callers. when you hear your line is unmuted that is your indication to

begin speaking. >> good afternoon commissioners. my name is patricia (inaudible) one block of the proposed site for 7 years and lived in san francisco of 16 years. this is a type of business that can forever alter the fabric of a neighborhood and we have a great neighborhood. one one block of the proposed dispensary we have a karate dojo (inaudible) small nftly owned fitness, hardware store and one of the neighbors built a library book swap in front of their home. this neighborhood as mentioned has significant amount of foot traffic by our elderly asian american community and many tourist and families. as mentioned, it is primarily residential.

please do not permit a cannabis dispensary into our neighborhood and add to the traffic and parking problem and it is going to forever alter the sense of spirit of this lovely little corner of san franciscoism thank you so much. >> good afternoon (inaudible) calling in support of the neighbors who would be directly impacted by this project. i am in opposition. i look at the picture of the actual building and see the residential entrance. it is so close to the door going into the site. it does not look good. it is much too close. t as well as the concentrated pedestrian, all those coming using various forms of

transportation. all those scooters, parking bikes on the very narrow sidewalk. it is not in the best interest of these neighbors nor in the best interest of the safety. the bus stop also is going to be expanded by sfmta as they to make it more accessible and safe for elders and people with disabilities actually getting on to the bus. this is the wrong place, the wrong business and wrong place and what i hear the community say is they want a community serving business. they want to have a cornerstone which community serving business would normally bring to a community, and justdize not meet their needs. so, please listen to this community. listen to the neighbors, listen to those most impacted and deny this project. thank you very much.

>> good afternoon. we live at the corner of jones and pacific which is literally just around the corner from the site in question. my family has been a resident of this neighborhood for over 15 years. thank you for allowing us to express opinions on this matter. i'm asking for the conditional use to be denied. i'll be quick as to why. (inaudible) the street is extraordinarily residential. it has many many families and children present as many neighbors have spoken up. the zoning in question is a very thin commercial corridor that connects the commercial element of polk with the more commercial portion of

china town. despite that very thin commercial zoning it is not a (inaudible) there is also no effective way of preventing people to use cannabis (inaudible) along the street in question. it is a narrow footpath. there is a bus stop there and are there are many families and children present. you cannot effectively prevent people using product immediately around the location. there was a comment earlier in the opening i think that the store potentially would (inaudible) that is not true. it brings unregulated sales to the area and it brings that because unregulated supply is cheaper and thes venue will attract a known customer base. thank you very much for your time.

>> angela fong and opposed to the dispensary. born and raised within one and a half blocks of the dispensary on broadway. i live directly across from the dispensary proposal. i have three generations of my family within this area who have grown up in the very nice neighborhood. i went to commodore stockton and marina middle school and galileo high school. i walked to and from the bus so i understand the use going past especially with a busy bus stop. i like to brink up the safety and safety and crime element. most

dispensaries have over $10 thousand in cash. yes, you are proposing you will have a security guard. maybe (inaudible) >> november 22, 2021, oakland police chief stated at a press conference more then 175 shots fired during recent cannabis robberies in one month. one month in

november of last year. this is oakland police chief. san francisco examiner stated (inaudible) easy targets for robbery. >> thank you, that is your time. >> thank you everyone. >> my name is (inaudible) and i live and work close to the specific site. i am for this project for various reasons. i don't believe that cannabis dispensaries are dangerous. they do have security guards. i go to them because of my health and my father had cancer. when my dad was battling cancer, leaving him alone for

running around to get pain medication for him for a few blocks was just unnecessary and a lot of cannabis clubs (inaudible) hundred percent of the time on point. there is no way somebody who's less then 21 years old or under the proposed age can go inside because there are (inaudible)-i have never been able to have a id to a someplace know my name-(inaudible) i listen to the other residents. i totally understand (inaudible) preadjustmental bias towards dispensary. i'm a man of color as well. i heard a lot of people tell me that

i'm not racist, but same thing, i hear a lot saying we don't have anything against pot, but you know, let's see what comes up. as a person that has been impacted by cancer and knowing this medication really (inaudible) i'm for it >> thank you sir. that is your time. >> good afternoon commissioners. (inaudible) san francisco small based business owner. i want to voice my support for the proposed project of the 1196 pacific avenue. who is a immigrant and incredible and professional small business leader. this opportunity would directly impact sf

cannabis. it is well documented that cannabis was a key driver of mass criminalization in the city. mostly because large cannabis companies are talking reinvesting in communities and social equity. offering minority owned business (inaudible) prioritize black, brown and immigrant communities as part of the cannabis economy. everyone who is afraid of cannabis can be helpful treating epilelsy (inaudible) chemo therapy (inaudible) this would serve the neighborhood. there is a undertone of discrimination when you say i support cannabis but just not in my neighborhood. or when you associate illegal drugs with cannabis. this isn't a safety issue, this

is a equity issue. thank you for your consideration and time. >> good afternoon. teddy kramer the local business chair for the russian hill neighbors. also a board member for next village that support seniors throughout the northeast corridor. i'm speaking in personal capacity as a resident of russian hill on the corner of jones and broadway and located directly around the corner from the proposed dispensary. i am speaking in favor of the proposed dispensary. please follow the recommendation of the planner. there is nothing unique (inaudible) all around san francisco. please be objective, follow your laws rules guidelines and processes. if you deny this application you will be causing irreparable harm to

future equity candidate s who look to pursue their dream of owning businesses in san francisco. thank you for your time. >> good afternoon commissioners. my name is naome mann, 2040 hyde street about a hundred yards from the cooked street so i'm very familiar with the hustal and bustle and excess traffic on a quite what was once a quite neighborhood street, and very quintessentially san francisco. i raised my children in san francisco and i also spent all most 30 year teaching at city college of san francisco. i'm very invested in the life and health and the character of this city. i have a few

things to say in support of this business. first of all, since covid we have had hundreds and hundreds of storefronts and (inaudible) for one reason or another. there is so much literature on the blight that follows one after the other after the other of small businesses going under. that storefront has been vacant for over a year. it is very nice the people who live there say they would like a laundromat or small market or whatever, but no one has stood up to invest in that space accept the people who are proposing this cannabis dispensary, and i think we need to be concerned as much

about the financial, the economic health of the community as everything else. i never heard one word from the people who were worried about the safety and helths of their children and seniors about how close and how many (inaudible) liquor stores. >> thank you ma'am. that is your time. >> hello, my name is (inaudible) i live at 49 bernard street and would like to issue my support for the project. i just went-something similar trying to make impruchbments improvements to my home. it isn't surprising to me the

same people involved in that are asking you to decline this. there is a lot of comments unwanted businesses that (inaudible) i can understand that, but this has been outstanding and open this property for over two years now. there is a lot of commentary wanting this and that, but i yet to hear is anybody standing up and doing something about (inaudible) creating a business, opening something, doing something accept for complaining and asking for something else and putting people's financial health, taking a risk starting a small business, and i just fully support them. i hope to see equity in this space and diverse neighborhood that has everybody feeling welcome. thank you. >> hello. my name is (inaudible) i am a long-term resident of

san francisco california specifically north beach area. three blocks from the proposed location opening. i directly support this location opening for several reasons. one, we had past (inaudible) as a long-term resident of the city, seeing the owner is a person of color and looking to do good there, makes me question why people dont want to support the business. in addition to that, there are plenty of businesses around the area, but if you ever have been to the specific location there are reasons why grocery stores are not opening there, hair salons are not opening in that location. i think a business like a dispensary will definitely last there

because it is something we all need and it is very helpful to the community and a lot of people worried about the senior citizens or robbed or mugged (inaudible) it is not something that's-in addition it will drive business in the area. (inaudible) diversification of businesses in the area and especially support our own residents looking to own and be entrepreneurs in the city are home grown residents that went to schools in the area that know the area and residents. i think it is very important for us all to support residents especially residents looking to better their own community. as somebody that is from our own community looking to open a business in our own community, i support it. if he looks like something that is (inaudible) >> thank you sir, that

is your time. okay. last call for public comment. again if you are in the room you need to come forward. calling in remotely press star 3 or raise your hand on webex. with you hear you line is unmuted that is your indication to begin speaking. >> good afternoon commissioners. can you hear me? >> yes are, we can hear you. >> my name is (inaudible) calling in support of this project. i'm also equity applicant i (inaudible) dispensary myself i can say since we opened we haven't had any problems. i heard a lot of people speaking about the violence and potential for that, but none of that is going on in general (inaudible) i

know these individuals and know they are good people and want to give back to the community. i urge the commission to please approve the project. thank you guys so much. >> hello commissioners, my name is (inaudible) resident, san francisco california for more then 25 years. i also have a master degree in sociology and economics and i studied the sociology and economic of san francisco my whole life and i to say i'm in full support of approving this plan. the fact the business owners are community men and men of the community and there is no better then those type of people to lead the community and the people with kids, i would say, this is a great opportunity to use this as a educational (inaudible) shine light on something in san francisco because it isn't easy raising

kids in san francisco, especially in 2022. so, i want to look at this as something that is positive for the community not something negative and that is something i can be educational because it is and there is a new time in the world so i feel we should educate instead of hate. thank you for your time. >> current resident 49 bernard street. i would like to call in to say i'm in fill support of this project. number one is (inaudible) diversity in the neighborhood here that i live in. i think color owned businesses especially local business in the community are a absolute necessity.

to block this deny equity in that business moving forward and that is a shame to see in one of the most progressive cities in the united states. second piece reason i think that or in support of the project is i think opposed to some of the objections i heard today. i think cannabis is actually an improvement to a neighborhood. from both lifestyle and economic perspective. for those reasons i think this project should be supported. thank you commissioners. >> hi. imeler i'm a san francisco resident who live said in the neighborhood. i support the project because there are no dispensaries accessible for me near russian hill. i feel like the addition of this would offer a valuable service and asset to the neighborhood. thank you for your time.

>> hi. thank you for your time today on this call. all the concerns that have been in the russian hill nob hill neighborhood. i have lived in russian hill nob hill. kristen anderson, since 1998 and i was fortunate enough to buy a home on jones street a block and a half from the proposed dispensary. like many people in this call i'm quite worried about this business coming into our neighborhood which described is a gentle quite residential neighborhood and specifically the street is not a commercial street, it is residential street with a very narrow neighborhood walkway and right (inaudible) that fustillitate movement of a lot of elderly people and school age children

throughout our residential neighborhood. i strongly feel this isn't a good business for our neighborhood. it isn't about being discriminatory, not about being against the century, but there are (inaudible) as others have mentioned within a quick walking distance of the proposed location and this business is not match with this residential neighborhood and specifically this residential street. as a long time member of this neighborhood and a current home owner on jones street, like i said just a block and a half away from this location i want to voice my concern and my worry and i'm against this business moving into the neighborhood. thank you. >> okay, final last call for public comment. seeing no additional request to speak, commissioners, public comment is

closed. this matter is now before you. >> thank the members of the public who came today and called into talk about the dispensary and the role here. i do have a couple questions for staff. mr. foster if you can talk about just clarification perhaps on the dispensary high tops that some folks were saying i was trying to look up trying to see maybe it is a delivery service. (inaudible) the other location if it exists and where it falls in the scheme of cannabis businesses. >> sure. thank you for the question president tanner. front and center the location in question would not show on the map because it isn't brick and mortar cannabis retail location or a ncd. it is regulated by office of cannabis. that is

why it isn't showing on the map but it is under their purview and under their jurisdiction for regulation, so i want to operate on a positive thought they are operating legally and they are abiding by the code of conduct. it is possible they are only selling cbd (inaudible) outside the jurisdiction of the office of cannabis, but i want to consult with office of cannabis to get more detail. (inaudible) but get them on the radar. they are not on the map because they are not retail location. >> thank you so much mr. foster. commissioner koppel.

>> so, aside from commissioner moore who isn't here today her and i were the only here from the onset in the very beginning of the legalization of cannabis, and we--then commissioner hillis was here as well. we had endless hearings to get more then enough community input from all walks of life, all parts of the city to really do best we could considering we are still operating under the state guidance, so juggling the state recommendations and where we landed was a very very very very healthy and thoughtful conversation with everyone involved, and when the dispensaries first starting coming in front of us they were concentrated in a couple areas of town that we saw as alarming and all along

had just longed for more of a equitable diverse set of locations throughout the whole city, and then also encouraging with the equity program equitable diverse ownership of these businesses too and so what do we as a city stand for giving people a chance to come here. this guy went to school he didn't just come here. you can tell this is a big dream of his and thought it was disingenuous for public speakers to single him out and talk the way they did to him when the guy is just trying to make the best for himself and finally we are starting to see that we heard this before. we don't want this in our neighborhood and it will be in every neighborhood. it is going to be. we should have affordable housing in every neighborhood and legal

and essential businesses in every neighborhood. i'm in support today. >> thank you commissioner koppel. commissioner diamond. >> thank you commissioner koppel. i share your concerns. i will say that we heard many specifics raised about the potential negative impact on children and older adults, and concerns about bus stops and traffic. those are all issues that have been raised in every other neighborhood. i didn't hear anything that distinguish these concerns from the rest of the city where we have been approving these projects and i feel like we need to be very equitable in the application of the rules to make sure we do as commissioner koppel talked about which is not concentrated in one particular part of the city but making sure they are spread eveningly. secondly, in a time where we are really facing a crisis with retail and we have clothe shops all

over the place i applaud you in particular, the applicant for wanting to open a small business, taking the risk that is involved and investing in the neighborhood in which you grew up. i think that remarkable example and hope the project is approved and will be supporting the staff recommendation and you are successful in your endeavor. i also want to say the office of cannabis and planning department staff worked carefully to come up with security measures that they existence of the guard isn't something to be concerned about. it is something to be extremely happy about,s and that i have a cannabis shop a few houses down from my house. it is extremely clean, people are not loitering, there isn't immense amount of traffic. i will say i'm very much in favor of the new conditions

added to this because i do think some are not aware when they buy products they can't go on the street and smoke them. each time a purchase is made it is good idea and impose that as standard condition and all projects going forward and perhaps going further asking the office of cannabis to impose that as a license condition on all the existing cannabis shops. but, i am very much in support of this and would make a motion to approve. >> second. >> i think we had a race for people to second the motion. we don't have other comments. thank you. >> seeing no other request to speak, there is motion to approve as amended by staff. on that motion- [roll call]

>> so moved commissioners, motion passes unanimously 6-0. concludes the agenda today commissioners and pleased to announce you have a break next week as a scheduled cancellation. >> we can read the housing element. we are adjourned. [laughter] [meeting adjourned]

of people who call tol ask is it okay if we come, we are hawaii or asian or we are this. what should we wear? what do you recommend that we do? >> they say oh, you know, we want a four day of the dead and it's all hybrid in this country. what has happened are paper cuts, it's so hybrid. it has spread to mexico from the bay area. we have influence on a lot of people, and i'm proud of it. >> a lot of times they don't represent we represent a lot of cultures with a lot of different perspectives and beliefs. >> i can see the city changes and it's scary. >> when we first started a lot

of people freaked out thinking we were a cult and things like that, but we went out of our way to also make it educational through outreach and that is why we started doing the prosession in 1979. >> as someone who grew up attending the yearly processions and who has seen them change incrementally every year into kind of what they are now, i feel in many ways that the cat is out of the bag and there is no putting the genie back into the bottle in how the wider public accesses the day of the dead. >> i have been through three different generations of children who were brought to the procession when they were very young that are now bringing their children or grandchildren. >> in the '80s, the processions were just kind of electric.

interesting. the common ♪♪ >> san francisco! ♪♪ >> this is an exhibition across departments highlighting different artworks from our collection. gender is an important part of the dialogue. in many ways, this exhibition is contemporary. all of this artwork is from the 9th century and spans all the way to the 21st century.

the exhibition is organized into seven different groupings or themes such as activities, symbolism, transformation and others. it's not by culture or time period, but different affinities between the artwork. activities, for example, looks at the role of gender and how certain activities are placed as feminine or masculine. we have a print by uharo that looks at different activities that derisionly performed by men. it's looking at the theme of music. we have three women playing traditional japanese instruments that would otherwise be played by men at that time. we have pairings so that is looking within the context of gender in relationships. also with how people are questioning the whole idea of

pairing in the first place. we have three from three different cultures, tibet, china and japan. this is sell vanity stot relevar has been fluid in different time periods in cultures. sometimes being female in china but often male and evoking features associated with gender binaries and sometimes in between. it's a lovely way of tying all the themes together in this collection. gender and sexuality, speaking from my culture specifically, is something at that hasn't been recently widely discussed. this exhibition shows that it's gender and sexuality are actually have been considered

and complicated by dialogue through the work of artists and thinking specifically, a sculpture we have of the hindu deities because it's half pee male and half male. it turns into a different theme in a way and is a beautiful representation of how gender hasn't been seen as one thing or a binary. we see that it isn't a modest concept. in a way, i feel we have a lot of historical references and touch points throughout all the ages and in asian cultures. i believe san francisco has close to 40% asian. it's a huge representation here in the bay area. it's important that we awk abouk about this and open up the discussion around gender.

what we've learned from organizing this exhibition at the museum is that gender has been something that has come up in all of these cultures through all the time periods as something that is important and relevant. especially here in the san francisco bay area we feel that it's relevant to the conversations that people are having today. we hope that people can carry that outside of the museum into their daily lives. at 62942 wor

together we can support your or children. it's been my dream to start is a valley school since i was a little girl. i'm having a lot of fun with it (clapping) the biggest thing we really want the kids to have fun. a lot of times parents say that valley schools have a lot of

problems but we want them to follow directions but we want them to have a wonderful time and be an affordable time so the kids will go to school here. we hold the classes to no longer 12 and there's 23 teachers. i go around and i watch each class and there's certain children i watched from babies and it's exciting to see them after today. the children learn how to follow directions and it ends up helping them in their regular schooling. they get self-confidents and

about art and the san francisco art commission. well come, miss chu. >> thanks for having me. >> it's great to have you. let's talk about art in the city and how art installations are funded. >> the arts committee was funded in 1932 and support civic review, design investments and art galleries. projects we have are funded by the city's art enrichment ordinance which provides 2% of construction costs for public art. >> so art is tied to construction. there's been a great deal in

the southwest of the city. can you talk about some of the projects there? >> sure. our city has some exciting projected in the bayview-hunters point coming up. one artist created a photo collage. in the picture pavilion, one artist formed a collage of her one-year residency coming together with residents, and anchoring the new center is a landmark bronze sculpture, inspired by traditional ivory coast currency which the artists significantly enlarges

to mark that it's a predominantly african american community in bayview hunters point. >> are there any art installations around town that uses light as a medium? >> yes. the first is on van ness between o'farrell and geary. it's funded with the m.t.a.s van ness geary street project. another project is for the central subway. it is one of ten artworks commissioned for the new line. it's over 650 feet long, consists of 550 l.e.d. panels between the powell street station and the union street station. it's called lucy in the sky,

and the lights are patterned with unique sequences so that commuters can experience a unique pattern each time they pass through. >> perfect. what about the early day sculpture that was removed from the civic center? >> this is a question that cities have been grappling with nationwide. following the removal of early days in 2018, there was a toppling of statues in golden gate park as well as the removal of the christopher columbus statue. we are partnering with the parks department as well as the community to engage with the public to develop guidelines to evaluate the existing monuments

and memorials in the civic arts collection and evaluate the removal of a monument or statue but also installing new ones. >> finally, it seems like the weather might be nice this weekend. if i fancy taking a walk and seeing some outdoor art, where would you suggest i go? >> well, i would suggest the embarcadero. this work was commissioned with funds from the fire station 35. this suggests the bow of a boat and the glass panel surrounding the structure depict the history of fireboats in the bay

area. >> and where can i go from there? >> then, i would walk up to the justin herman plaza to check out the work of the art vendors. then check out the monuments like the mechanics monument. also, be sure to check out the poster series, installed in bus kiosks along market street, which features four artists each year. >> well, thank you. i appreciate you coming on the show, miss chu. thank you for your time today. >> thank you, chris. >> that's it for this episode. we'll be back with another show shortly. for san francisco t.v., i'm chris manors. thanks for watching.
