i would think that the current building and parking lot situation is totally underutilized and that there will be some kind of development proposal coming forth. that may take a while. eventually i would think that the desire of the city anyway i can't guarantee that would be to have some kind of mixed use development in that location, including a grocery store. >> commissioners, the motion on the floor is to disapprove the conditional use authorization. on that motion commissioner an to nee nee. commissioner moore, commissioner segay;. commissioner miguel. thank you, commissioners, the c.u. has been disapproved. you are now on item number 13. case number 2009.1100c 1095 market street. >> good afternoon, commissioners, i'm tim pi representing the planning department, the request is for a conditional use authorization to convert the building at 1095 market street from a 61000 square feet commercial office building to a hostel use with up to 94 rooms. associated uses within the hostel will include approximately 2500 square feet related to a restaurant approximately 3500 square feet related

if we have an area that is underutilized, we will try to steer you there with low or parking rates per hour. >> is there a chance that the price will fluctuate on the high end any day? >> that will be the price during the day. we do not want to make it more confusing to use the parking and for structure. yet it is to stabilize it, use the data we are collecting -- the idea is to stabilize it and use the data we're collecting. any changes will occur every four weeks in terms of rate changes. >> the most expensive hourly parking right now is $3.50. you anticipate some parking up to $6. when would that happen? >> the pilot study is going to be over the next two years. it will be some time before we get to those numbers. the most important thing is that we will have the data to make better decisions in terms of the actual utilization. that is the most important part of a pilot. what is the actual utilization? how long do people need to be in a parking spot? in some cases, we expanded the limitations. we may move to four our parking in some areas. this is a major milestone. it is one of man

places like my partners' project at the hunters point shipyard where we have large pieces of land underutilized. we need to find a way to have our development concentrated there so that it replaces development that would otherwise take place at the border of our region. there is a reason that those sites are actually undeveloped. or undeveloped, at the present time. they have a lot of hair on them as real estate developments. when you think of developments, we have to account for sea level rise. we have to come up with a system of public transportation. all of which will cost some $1.5 billion before a single building is built, but again, why? there is 50 million square feet of office space in downtown san francisco, and treasure island will be a short seven-minute ferry ride from that space. one more question because we are in an economic downturn, and so many people say to me, how can you ever think of the realm again? for those of us that have been developing for a long time, we know we have developed for several decades before we get our permit, so we have to take a slightly longer perspect

that might be too far away but the city has many church properties which are underutilized or in the process of being abandonned. so i would look for everybody to help identify those properties and help this congregation to find an alternative location. >> absolutely. i think the testimony regarding the community itself was wonderful and greatly appreciated. my own congregation started out in shared space twice, and then bought a church building that congregation had left, which later proved too small and then took over a commercial space and redid it into our present congregation. so this is the natural progression that happens all the time. i appreciate the director's comments on checking with the department prior to purchasing any properties . i was dismayed when i saw the fact that they purchased the property because i don't know if their architect was on board at that time but certainly any practicing architect in san francisco would have known of this problem. and i feel bad that they were not advised that this is a very, very major problem in the city. >> move to dace prove. >
