approval hearings will follow the final eir/eis certification. your comments today should be confined to the adequacy and accuracy of information and analysis within the draft eir/eis. the comments will be transcribed by the court reporter and responded to in the responses to comments document. this document will respond to all verbal and written comments received and make revisions to the draft eir/eis as appropriate. i would like to remind commenters to speak slowly and clearly, so that the court reporter can produce an adequate transcript of today's hearing. also commentsers should state their name and address for the record to be sent copies once it is completed. after hearing comments from the general public we'll take comments on the draft eir/eis from the planning commission. would i note that the public review process began on november 7th and will continue until 5:00 p.m. january 7, 2015. comments that are not made verbally today should be submitted in writing to the planning department. this concludes my presentation on this matter and

i heartily support this eir/eis and i hope you will concur. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker i will call some more names also. [ reading speakers' names ] >> good afternoon, commissioners, my name is janet carpen eli and i'm also a 30 plus-year resident of potrero. i live in dog patch and i'm a member of the potrero boosters and from where i am we look up the hill to the project of the potrero annex and terrace. we have been looking forward to seeing the remodel for years and years and years, and i would also like to concur with the last two speakers in that the group that is doing this project now, bridge housing rebuild has done a fantastic job of keeping the community involved and bringing very different people together. there have been many, many many postcards, ads, at or abouts in the potrero view and they have been to the potrero festival for years and they do everything that they can to be out in the public and bring people together. i have been up to many get togethers and working -- workshops, et cetera, et cetera, and i'm really think that this project

and even if there is deferral to other things, i think the eir/eis needs to be very clear and precise for this type of an important project. >> thank you. commissioner antonini. >> thank you. i think the draft environmental impact report has a lot of things that are very well-done in my opinion. there was one place that i spotted. it's only a projection and it was probably done quite a while ago on page 4. 4-4 and it talks about the population of san francisco and it basically deals with census track 614 and it's not that critical to the report itself, but to project the population of san francisco on this for 2015 is 816,400. and as we'll see in our commerce and industry report, the projected population of san francisco in 2014 or 2013 is already 636,000. so i mean, i know it doesn't mean we have to redo any of the report, but the projection for what it's worth is probably not accurate as far as reality is concerned right now. i can't comment on the accuracy of the census track in particular, just looking at the overall picture. the other thing that i think will need to be answered a

then my other question is, i am more familiar with ceqa than eis/eir things, but with the phase 2 approval of eis/eir for refinements, is there any danger that that approval would have a lifetime on it that would expire before construction? because i know sometimes that happens at ceqa and you have to go back and upgrade your ceqa document, because too many years had taken place between when you had it approved and when you first put a shovel in the ground. >> i will have counsel respond to that. >> director harper, we wouldn't anticipate there would be a substantial or significant change in the environment or in the project or in the context of the project that would necessitate refreshing that. >> with all of the construction going on, there won't be any new buildings that we would have to think about? >> yes, lots of development, but no significant environment impacts as a result of that development. >> all right. >> thank you again for a very comprehensive report and representing district and the neighbors, i'm really pleased to see all the community outreach that happened and the medi
