calcs. were not adjusted. kind of like this, and that. and so much so even the staff finally declared no evaluation of de facto demolition in 2020. and of course epicenters spread out. the commission approved housing outside of this room housing in the market is real estate. the demo calcs. allowed for reason remodels or expansion of existing housing not to create multimillion dollars housing. read the e mail i sent yesterday. >> the project on sanchez street was the very few that had a dr. it probably was not sound and should have been demolishes rather than turned a monster home. looking at the record, the staff had a difficult time in reviewing the demo calcs. if
11:01 am
they had been adjusted at the time this project could never have been approved and there would have been eye different outcome. however, this is the exception that proved the rule. because there was so much existing housing lost, but disguised alterations with tremendous multimillion dollars increases in the before and after sales price. which changed the market. because in real estate these other comps. and starting in june that first sentence in the backgrounds about the loss of housing seems likely to be policy. and that's not going to be a good thing. so, here is the executive summary the first few pages and the dra for that project on sanchez street to show what you decided. thank you very much, take care.
11:02 am
>> last call for general public comment. >> go to remote callers. thank you. don't forget bus. dave ird rincon pointful just a couple of comments about all the politicians from the mayor to the governor calling on planning processes to be stream lined. no one supports waste and unnecessary procedures; you notice this none of the pol tigsz are calling on the city to lower the high standards or to cut sound planning practices. in fact, i would suggest that the city employees go too far and stream lining things and there are bad result. the approximately tigzs may not
11:03 am
support you. i heard many nayers say something like, yea, i woulded to stream line things bididn't want them to happen. an example of stream lining creating bad results is the recent permitting over the counter behind closed doors of numerous new signs on landmarked rincon annex building. on mission street near the embarcadero. it was designed by the nation's greatest architects of public buildings. upon he designed the [inaudible] hotel. the permits allow 2 new signs on the northern corners of the building. and they are no less than planning atrocities. . what is frustrating is the big signs are unnecessary.
11:04 am
a crafted sign worked out with the redevelopment agency and the developer in 1980's. that worked. for 30 years rincon center was a thriving business center. now feeling the downtown like everyone else. new signs are not what is needed to get customers back. people will never turn if the food and products are low kwauchlt new signs are no replacement for bad business decisions. the new lower standards will leave blank signs on the newer [inaudible] on the old pg and e building. the old southern pacific will building. the former federal reserve. on the historic parts of the fairmont hotel. if you do, you may find the same pol tigsz backing away from you.

11:12 am
construction concrete reinforced industrial building. >> and -- as an architect, looking at the viability of break throughout concrete and doing the things we need to do in the upper level to credit a legal unit. the process seemed to be not viable and that was just from a design point of view and producing drawings to create cost estimates and approvals from other professionals. it was clear there is no real market value in the area it is -- very urban context. alley ways and very valley. we hope that will commission allows us to revert building back to what it should be and originally designed for. and that's it. >> thank you very much.

now open public comment. if you are here come forward if you are remote press star 3. or raise your hands via ebb ex. seeing no requests to speak, commissioners. picture comment is closed and this matter is now before you. >> thank you. commissioner moore. i have a couple of questions. what use is being what pdr use is in the building and did the owner live in the unit and had other bedrooms or was this -- what is the history of that? according to the permit record the last use was warehouse no furniture. and that falls in the definition for pdr under planning code. not entirely sure who built rooms. butt owner did live there as one point. >> you wanted to add.
11:14 am
jury room >> there were 9 single room occupancy and also cleared out, there was a settlement outside of court regarding the rental situation. that so there are the building is vacant now. and ready and the process helped make that so. so, the buildings ready to match the drawings before you in the proposed reversion back to the last authorized.
11:15 am
>> the building not used as a warehouse as well. >> it is all uses there was for several years before covid there was a dance studio. but and this process really -- came to a head during covid and so kinds of fortunately, economicate, market wise, that person could not go on. they had to leave and the people upstairs, of course, have all left and that's all cleared out. other thing to clarify is anything that was upstairs that was built to make rooms was entirely nonstructural and readily removable and the building is stout. got thick concrete floors. it is primed to common sense way as much as we love to turn it to residential property and the owner could make more money and straw is in the viable. here we are. >> thank you. this owner is intends towing keep the build and return it to pdr or intent to -- >> owner will follow through on the permit. and look to in the construction
11:16 am
industry somewhat so they have the means and the connections and what not to make it so. but whether he is able to get a renter or a buyer he does not know. and at this stage you can imagine he is happy to sell the building but you know we need to get through these administrative processes before we can talk about that. >> have you looked at adaptation that is like live/work with emphasis on work over live? no the just the there is no emphasis on live. and it doesn't seem viable for live/work situation if that is your question. because of the thick floor plate its is a large open spanned 2 story building with tall
11:17 am
ceilings dividing to live/work and the architect ral and code related challenges and making something habitable for a home rather than industrial use is too much. i'm not sure if live/work is allow in the that zoning i didn't look into that. >> thank you for your. >> thank you very much. >> appreciate it. >> thank you. any other comments, commissioner moore. >> any other comments, commissioner braun? i will say that this building never should have been usedad a residential use in the upper floor. special although idealee when we have a dwelling unit it is nice to legalize them. this is -- unless this could be brought up to be safe and building code and safety

requirements, i don't see that this could be anything but reverted back. it is concerning that there were 9 rooms used as house nothing this building. and it scary but that this was happening knowing there was not adequate egress and not built to code or permitted. so i'm happy to put forward a motion to approve the conditional use authorization. >> second. >> with the amendments submitted by staff. >> yes. >> that's right. >> we're getting to the vote can i ask staff on this note, want to make sure what is the process from here to ensure that the rooms are removed and what do -- the building but do we have a check and follow up? how do we know at the end of the day observe it is sold if sold this is removed the process is

terrace annual street fair and attended for as long as i remember in my 32 years in the neighborhood. their neighbors or residents have every opportunity to speak to sutro tower representatives which they have taken advantage of and enjoy. the open house is for our benefit along with twin peeks and forest knolls. we have no concern about lack access to sutro tower represent and they have in good faith addressed our other than consist and request for meetings or visits. so we don't see the need to have the open house be a part of conditions. and we would support upon just leaving it the way it has been, which is if the neighbors want to request more time with sutro tower then we can do that and we
11:36 am
are confident that they would provide address our occurrence that way. thank you. thank you for your time i'm the legislative aid for supervisor melgar. supervisor melgar could not be here. you should be in receipt of her letter in the packet. the supervisor heard from neighbors and somewhere here today. il state that having neighbors in sutro alignment on anything is unpresident in the my time you appreciate all that has been done and will be in the future to keep that harmony. regarding condition 1, supervisor concerned about permanent installations.

11:38 am
you will not have time to read it now >> i'm walter caplin for 25 years the forest knolls liaison to sutro tower. for many years we have been trying to get the city to accept its responsibility to repave la avanzada because it has been a dang and hazzard and created liability to the city. this agreement in total encompasses the concerns of the neighbors and sutro tower and
11:39 am
the city. this is a great break through. sutro towers willing to address the issue of paving the street which is clearly for at least 70% it is responsibility of the city. and hay will under take that at their expense. additional low, from the per view of the neighborhoods we are opposed to handing the panels that are covered with lead paint. we think that is manage what should be out of this agreement. other concern is we don't believe it is necessary or appropriate to require afternoon annual gathering for the benefit of the neighborhoods. as was stated. sutro tower is involved and active in the neighborhoods. participate in all neighborhood
11:40 am
activities and event and for many years open to collaborate with the needs of the neighborhood and this requirement really should not be and does not belong, we believe in this agreement. other than that, i think it is fantastic. for years we have been coming here at the 11th hour when well is a tower issue. it is banged out on the final minute this is is a great agreement and i think it addresses all of the issues concerned to the establishment to the historyics preservation people of to the neighborhoods. and to sutro tower itself. i urge you to accept this with those 2 modifications as to the lead paint on the panels and the requirement of annual gathering. thank you.
11:41 am
>> okay. seeing no other members of public in the chambers go to remote callers. >> good afternoon. commissioners i'm george wooding i'm president of the mid town terrace hoa. consisting of 820 homes in the mid town terrace neighborhood at the foot of mount sutro. we are in support of sutro towers propose vertical cladding elimination. however, our association opposed conscience of approval attached to the mandatory dr analysis published by the planning department on may 18th. 2023. keep are in favor of the alternate recommendations made by supervisor melgar in her
11:42 am
letter to the planning commission dated may 16, 2023. finally, mid town terrace is in support of the repair of la avanzada street, such repair should be limited to an in kind repair of the asphalt and not be extend or expand to the roadway in any manner to encounter its use as a through fare to the unpaired area of the intersection of la avanzada and palo alto avenue. if the area falls to what might be otherwise considered part of the roadway. thank you for your
11:43 am
consideration. have a good day. bye. >> last call for public comment if you are here come forward if you are call nothing remote press star 3. seeing no requests, commissioners public ment is closed and this merit is now before you. >> thank you. before i turn over to the commissioners i did do a site visit last year of the site. thank you to sutro towers for arranging that and did go up in the tower it was frightening and beautiful. look out and not down is the advice. i want to upon commends our environmental staff. last time this was here for consideration the concern was whether we get this done in time i want to credit the staff and all the staff planners who worked on this to get it back quickly. we continue today glad to hear the reason was out reach. i want to thank for out reach.
11:44 am
and for all the neighbors working with the project to come buffers. with changes that will consider and question for changes i think over all i'm proud of the work all the parties have done to get us become to the points. i will turn it over to commissioner diamond. >> thank you. and i agree wefrg you said especially about looking out not down. i visited the tower last fall when this was in front of us. and came away with an appreciation for the industrial nature t. is hard hat territory. it is mall and cramped. hard to maneuver. does not left-hand laned itself to pedestrians and a small enough translator for the wars who do important work well. so, with that in minds it affects my view of the proposed conscience. i'm appreciative of staff's
11:45 am
effort to provide us right now with a red line copy of the conditions of approval. which tries to gather together staff's take on the numerous versions of the conscience which we received over the last week. appreciation to staff for that. so i have comments on 3 of the conditions. with the installation i'm in favor of interceptive installation it is important for people to understand what is going on at the tower. i'm delighted see staff's preference it is off site. what i'm not okay with is the last sentence. says if they can't find a suitable location they can do it on site. i don't think this location should be on site under any circumstances and i think that i don't want to create an
11:46 am
incentive to avoid finding off site it is more expensivism don't think sti would they don't typeset on site, either. i don't believe it is appropriate for the fall back to be it is on site or adjacent on site. i think that sti needs to work with the neighborhood association and staff to finds an off site location, period and remove the last sentence. second, i agree with the neighbors i don't understand why we are saving the salvaged panels they are cover in the lead. it is not safe. and even if sti think its can cover with an indemnity and official of the city i'm not comfortable putting out lead panels to the public. i think we should be getting rid of them in a safe manner and end it is use of lead panels and not encouraging reuse through artists or anybody i would
11:47 am
eliminate that condition which i understand supervisor melgar was in favor of eliminating unless i read that wrong. >> and third is i don't understand the purpose of open house. the original conditions from the 1960's said this is in the to be a place for the public went exit don't understand what changed that makes it important for the public to go there. i take to heart the comments from the neighbors that said they believe they have opportunity to meet with sti they don't need an open house for this. i don't want the panels on site. i don't bed why we need an open house of hard hat territory. so i would also eliminate the open house condition of approval. i am supportive of the vertical panel removal and appreciate the work done boy staff to get us to
11:48 am
this point. i would move to approve eliminating the last sentence of condition upon one can be on site. and i would eliminate condition 2 in entirety. and i would also revise to eliminate the last paragraph of condition 4 the requirement to the open house. >> second. upon commissioner braun. i think i have a question for department staff was what the thing on the open house condition. behalves the thinking behind that? >> department staff am thank you. it was one way to allow people to experience sutro tower. as part of that.
11:49 am
11:50 am
around the residence require and next to the tower and it is appreciate to the base from the public trail that exist now. for that. i appreciate the backup of the open house i say i always don't seat need for the open house. the portion of things. the upon grounds if you go on the trails. so i'm okay with eliminating the open house requirement. and then on the installation, i'm hearing the neighborhood concerns about the possibility that may be a little out not a big destination. want to make their way up to seat panels on the site. either way i understand the neighborhoods and if it is off
11:51 am
site i suggest if the city was okay i mean we have our control, location on twin peek would be great people seat tower from there. you get a great view of the tower and panels. that makes sense. i am in agreement with the motion i have one question. though, and this is more for commissioner diamond a motion maker. there was an alternative by supervisor melgar to of may be engage with an artist for with the panel. there was language by sti at one point about potential low including along the lines. i'm curious i don't think it is a make or break thing i'm curious what reactions might be
11:52 am
to the suggestion i have the language. if we. sti interpretation was the project experience artist to prowse a work of art inspired by the tower stoen sthoent students within 18 months of project approval. and there was more. i was thinking that is provided it was not necessary to add in the artist interpretation. so. i don't feel this strongly. i didn't think it was necessary on top of the other gestures that were being made. why can i ask director hillous
11:53 am
that was was in the manity rigzs for the bit of this. is that do you know if it is supervisor inintention to remove the -- inspirational work with the kids? >> jeff warren, planning staff. that language first appeared from supervisor's letter and then was include last night in the sponsor's conditions trying to flush out and provide a written documentation of the intent of the conscience. that was that language for the title student engagement that condition of approval exist in written form in the letter prepared by the sponsor mitt to the commission yesterday evening. >> do you know if this is supervisor may be can you speak. continued to include this language or comfortable with when we have today. >> i think the supervisor
11:54 am
representative left. >> unfortunately. >> we believe that it is already in the there is a component of the temp refer installation that encourages us to roach out to the upon students and require ~age that component that's why we didn't add it become in it is there with the virtual tour and the temporary art component. >> thank you. >> commissioner braun, does that address your concern about including or not including the work width youth and the artistic interpretation? >> yes. >> and i'm satisfied with that. >> great. >> commissioner diamond? may be i assume you include the amendments with staff.
11:55 am
