commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: could we not modify it a little bit to just approved c.u.? or other controls as agreeable with the supervisor and entertainment commission? could we modified that the so it is not pushing one particular thing? second? ok, so the motion has been changed a little bit. we would approved conditional use or other land-use regulations or approval regulations for entertainment uses on van ness avenue, in conjunction with the wishes of the supervisor and the entertainment commission. secretary 10.0512c, 3132 clement street. >> good afternoon. i am from the department staff. this case is a conditional use request to establish a formula retail pharmacy store for cbs at an existing building at clemmons street -- cvs at an existing building at clement street credi. the building was formerly occupied by albertsons grocery store that closed in 2006. the project would occupy approximately

commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: the other thing i kind of like for next year and i know we may not have a special hearing, although it might be good if the public could see it, too, but certainly informational on the zoning districts and for the commissioners to have all the detail because they change and of course, we were part of the changes when we went to the transit districts and gave them different names and i think it would really be good if we had those details because as we saw from the maps, there are a lot of different district. and i think some of them overlap. so it would be good if we kind of had those things and definitions of what they are. vice president olague: i cheated a little bit because i already had lengthy conversations, if anyone wonders why i seem to be sort of on top of it, you know? secretary avery: the motion before you is for approval with amendments. the sections 209, 243 and continuing the other modifications to january 13, 2011. on that motion, commissioner an

commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: thank you. i was thrilled when they built what i think architecturally is a really good mission revival style. unfortunately, probably not because there was not a need for store there, but because of internal problems at albertsons that it had be closed. i am happy to see it reactivated. i guess the question i have is, this approval is only for cvs and does not involve a fresh and easy, and they do, i believe, have their own conditional use, if i am not mistaken, because of the amount of time since it was a store? >> i will not speak for them, but fresh and easy controls the site and at cvs is leasing the space from fresh and easy. fresh and easy it is when the construction, getting their 10 improvements -- given their tenant improvements are done. commissioner antonini: if that does not have to come through more process, that is even better. i understand that any grocery store reduce could continue with another purveyor of that was the case, also, so that pretty much answers my questions, thank

antonini? commissioner antonini: i haven't had a chance to review it. but that will be continued until next week, anyway. clerk: commissioners on the motion to continue -- excuse me, on the motion to adopt the draft minutes from the special meeting of october 21, the regular meetings of october 28th, november 4th, and november 18th, and continue the special environment meeting of october 21 to december 9th, on that motion -- [ roll call ] clerk: thank you commissioners, that motion passes unanimously. commissioners you are now on any other commission matters. any other commission matters. president miguel: commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: thank you. it's been a sad year in respect that we, over the approximate last year, we lost some major leaders in san francisco. among them, done fisher, walter shoren stein and most recently, mr. toldman, also a marin resident his entire life, mario illote has also died. there's a common thread that they gave so much and gave back to their charit

president miguel: commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: . i really like this project and i'll tell you why, for a lot of reasons. i think it brings up a concept we haven't used very much, and i'd like to call it a restoration trade. it's a formula for the future. what we do a lot of, we build new construction and have a percentage of affordable housing that's built usually new somewhere else. once in a while it involves the restoration of an existing building and i think we have a lot of buildings in san francisco that are need of restoration and if we can use this kind of concept in the future, be it blending condos or market rate with affordable or tourist with affordable, what happens is, we get two winners. we get both buildings restored into a condition that is usable, safe, providing affordable housing, providing other uses in the other building and in this case providing a greater number of affordable units, so i think we got to look at this a little more closely. if we'd been looking at these things in thec if we still hadg,ñ -- we s

president miguel: commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: thank you. it's been a sad year in respect that we, over the approximate last year, we lost some major leaders in san francisco. among them, done fisher, walter shoren stein and most recently, mr. toldman, also a marin resident his entire life, mario illote has also died. there's a common thread that they gave so much and gave back to their charities and communities. i think it's really important that we continue to establish a climate in san francisco to attract and retain such leaders for the future. that's one of our challenges. i think mr. guillote was typical of these leaders in that unfortunately his death was caused by a fall at age 8 rushing to his office on saturday to get his work done and get his grandson's football game afterwards. this is the kind of drive we need to have more of in the future. president miguel: commissioner borden? commissioner borden: i was selected for a jury and will not be at the regularly scheduled hearing next thursday and most likely won't be at the regularl

president miguel: commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: i have some questions for mr. barns. i guess the first is twofold. on the issue of the cu, did any discussion ensue in the supervisor's office about having something like a mandatory dr, which, perhaps, makes it a little less cumbersome on an applicant for an entertainment as was pointed out earlier, and, yet, still, it's a matter of public process, but, perhaps, not so much expense involved, and also a little lower ceiling for approval. >> absolutely. just by way of example, the laurel inn also in our district had a deejay go into their bar, and no one objected and no one filed the dr, we are looking at the entertainment community in a way where the use would be approved, whether that's a mandatory dr. it's a good comment. commissioner antonini: that's why i would like to see this evolve further before we make our recommendation. with a mandatory d.r., it happens whether anybody from the neighborhood or not speaks against the thing, it still is going to be adhered by the planning commission, so it will be a matte

commissioner antonini? >> i agree. although there may have been some confusion in committing all you have to do is kind of i think use zphens on this and nobody else probably has a bunch of cars parked in the front card of their homes there and it doesn't look right to me. i would say i would agree, make a motion to agree with -- take the staff recommendation, which basically gives -- take discretionary review and require one two of modifications. so the way it's written, correct me if i'm wrong, staff, they would have the option to do one of these two things. the first is to eliminate the curb cut, restore the landscaping and a new fence revise a scope of the work to include a garage insertion so they would have the option of doing one of those two things. >> second. >> ok, thank you. session. if you don't mind, if you would indulge me, we are going to continue item 23 to january 13. that his case number 2008.0021emtzw. the mission -- initiating planning codes, zoning map, and general plan amendments as part of kirk -

commissioner antonini. commissioner olague. thank you. commissioners, the first category on a calendar, items proposed for continuance. item 1 is 42774-2773 filbert street. the second item is case -- i am one is for -- item 1 is for 277 4-2783 filbert street. there are no other items that i am aware of being proposed for continuance. commissioner miguel: public comment on the items being proposed for continuance? >> [inaudible] i sent in a request for continuance of item three, market street. >> to what date? >> to a date after which when the process -- a private sponsor complies with section 303e. >> at this point, because i do not have any inflation, maybe we can take this up -- and it is the next item, so maybe we could take it up at the call of the item. commissioner miguel: thank you. any other public comment on the items proposed for continuance? if not, public comment is closed. >> just in regards to the first item, do we know what issues are involved here? i think this was continued once before. i'm sure it is a procedural thing.

president miguel: commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: my only concern with removing the existing smoking entrance, i guess you would call it, that faces the street, and not replacing it with something else, may to some degree exacerbate the problem and people are going to smoke and what they'll do is smoke out on market or wherever they have to go, so that might make it worse. i assume that we certainly could come back with it at a future time with the c.u. to establish this smoking area within, which i guess would add another hearing. i think i am in support of the conditions that the neighborhood wants in terms of mitigating the complaints and that is part of this motion. and i'll be supportive of what's in there, but i think we could be more efficient by including the smoking lounge, too. president miguel: commissioner moore? commissioner moore: i fully support the statements commissioners miguel and olague made and having done the homework for us and what i would suggest to mr. paul is if trigger is starting to

commissioner antonini: i'm in favor of this. i think it does a number of things. it brings the parking into the realities of the changes that have been made since the beginning of the project and is reflective of that. we may in retrospect regret this some years back when we find some of these projects are under park and have trouble selling or renting, but this is unfortunately the upper limit of what is allowed in that district now, so we only should comply with that. he still has one additional car share of of what is required. also, i really liked the concept of having offsite housing. i think it serves those for whom purchased it much better than it does on site for reasons stated, and other things, particularly when it is within half a mile. we see a lot of this going on now, and it is a very good thing because it intermingles communities, but it does not try to intermingle them in the same building where sometimes it is more difficult for the people who try to -- who buy these units to be able to afford other things that they have to have. the one question

commissioner antonini: i am pleased with this. the wind can be fickle, blowing at hurricane force or hardly as ever. this is well done. >> olague? vice president olague: you did a great job today. thank you. >> the motion on the floor is for upholding the negative declaration. [reading names] >> the motion passes unanimously. you are now on the companion case for 942 mission street, case 2008. ekxe. and the same. a request for the conditional use

president miguel: commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: just one brief question regarding the housing issue and i may need clarification going forward. student housing could be defined as dormitories, i think, because they are owned by the school, would be reverbed for those who are stunts. if someone was no longer a student, they would no longer be able to be the roadway sensors dent there. >> it's attached to the unit as opposed to who is in the unit. >> even if it's owned by a school for the purposes of student housing. >> some of their building are just apartment buildings? >> i guess it depends on the definition, not traditional dormitories. that's where the distinction is. ok, got it. vice president olague: , that's confusing. president miguel: let's take a 15 had been minute break. clerk: we have one more item -- no, item number 9 has been withdrawn. president miguel: yeah, 9 has been withdrawn, we have 10 and 11. let's take 15 minutes and try not to take more than that. thee hope for their legislation. >> goo

commissioners, on the motion of approval of the draft minutes, commissioner antonini has stepped away. [roll call] >> i was not present for those meetings. commissioner miguel: we will say you vote anyway. >> [roll call] thank you, commissioners. item seven is any other commissioner concerns. commissioner moore: i came across a notice of the revised preparation of an environmental impact statement for the project in brisbane called -- i do not remember what its name is. what struck me about the project is the enormous size to which this project has increased, and while we are aware that the project is happening and is bordered on the east side of highway 101, the increase in residential units, the decrease in open space is of grave concern to me because it does reflect and ripple through our considerations on a number of projects. the project is suggesting 4434 residential drawing units, which were never considered in the previous eir. the project produces 330 acres of open space, which for an area as large as this project is, is rather reasonable and reduces the area to 205 acres, in

of items four and five, on your calendar, commissioner antonini: aye. commissioner borden: aye. commissioner fong: aye. thank you, commissioners. items four and five have been approved. commissioners, going back to item 3 on your calendar, again, this is case 2010.0118c for market street. >> commissioners, are you ready to hit this item? the item before you is case 2010. 1018c. the project is located in the mtc 3 moderate scale transit district. you may recall this project. it came before you last year. the item was -- the project was ultimately approved. there was an appeal of the mitigated negative declaration, and both the ceqa case and conditional use case were appealed to the board of supervisors where it was upheld. what is before you today is a request by the project sponsor to amend two of the conditions of approval from the previous project. there is no physical modification proposed to the exterior of the building. the only physical alteration is the elimination of two subterranean parking garages that would have housed parking spaces for the

commissioner antonini: thank you very much. he spoke about some issues that are under consideration. one question that have, and perhaps you could tell me about this. sequa rules may be accepted by the six supervisors, and overturning and other usage -- this is within the province of the city and county, and so i just wanted to find out if this is something of which we have control over, and the bar for approval or acceptance in those matters. >> i will look into that and bring you more information. >> thank you. >> the preservation commission was meeting but the only items that were important of the presentation on the -- are the presentation on still lake park. we will hear about landmarking the golden gate park. a commissioner was concerned about the boathouse, wanting to separate the nomination. the staff convinced him they could do that in the ottal nomination -- total nomination. they will hear this. and as ms. rogers reported, they did hear the path of gold lamp post. and i am not sure it was unanimous, but sentiments we

commissioner antonini: i am pleased with this. the wind can be fickle, blowing at hurricane force or hardly as ever. this is well done. >> olague? vice president olague: you did a great job today. thank you. >> the motion on the floor is for upholding the negative declaration. [reading names] >> the motion passes unanimously. you are now on the companion case for 942 mission street, case 2008. ekxe. and the same. a request for the conditional use authorization under planning code section 309. >> good afternoon. i am rick crawford. this is for use authorization for a hotel and compliance with the project. f >> the project would construct a 15-story hotel with 172 rooms and approximately 3200 square feet of ground floor commercial space at 942 mission st.. the project site is located in south of market neighborhood just south of union square in the downtown area on the north side of mission in the block bounded by market, fifth, mission, and sixth streets. it has access to mission and jesse streets with primary frontage on mission.
