. >> commissioner johnson and i agree with commissioner antonini's proposal of the project i have a couple of questions first of all, thanks for the candy's to bring their i babies it is the first for the commission to have a baby here (laughter) but i think this was great again, i agree with commissioner antonini's assessment i won't repeat first, the legislation that will be the administration process for the physical changes to a property that accounts for handicaps or changes i know i read in the report that this building included an elevator and so my question to the project sponsor is is this elevator for accounting for a particular handicap or particular issue and to the zoning administrator if this legislation passed we'll be looking at something different. >> ascertainment was a big deal for the project my mother can't actually come into this 0 house as it stands she can't walk up one flight of stairs meier my parents a parents are european it's important to take care of them in their twilight this is important and the elevator addresses that issue. >> to the zoning administrator

is there any additional public comment okay seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner antonini. >> i'm very supportive of this project and as most that i know we went through an extensive appeal of the negative deck that dealt with the historical aspects of that have been brought up by a number of speakers and sditsdz by the preservation staff, in fact, the historic side was focused open the side as it was at the time of the historic events of the 1930s the common wealth club is going to have it's on home and it remind me of a few years now, it's open mission street and has it's on home and even greater importance in my estimation the common wealth will cvs have its own own in regards to the facade on the embarcadero side most of you have you know i'm a spokesperson for the preservation of the historic side but in this case this is not a historic facade it is pointed out it was alternated many times over the years new windows and the cornice has been changed we're not dealing with what was there in the 1934 and the new building will proposed building does establish a type of th

. >> commissioner antonini and yeah. thank you i agree and think that many of the problems for which the speakers spoke the nearby resident predate the existence of jones and still remain he talked about people that was in earlier comments but applies not aware of their surrounding bus of their conditions and running wildly in the street and because of traffic and drug dealers i know soliciting people in line i think it would be helpful in the good neighbor policy jones agreed to keep the order for patrons waiting in line to go to jones there's as much as. >> police the activity keep order out on the street and cut down open the kind of activity which the speaker spoke you are encourage you but supportive of what we proposed a couple weeks ago looks like they mitigate the sounds as quickly as possible and noise open the patio not anything beyond 7:00 p.m. there so as far as music so it sounds like i'm still supportive of plans we accident last time. >> commissioner johnck. >> just a followup question for staff can you re

the public hearing portion is closed commissioner antonini. >> yeah.nother very good project to answer some of the questions that were raised by dr requester matching light wells it what we asked for and the project sponsor has gown to the letter of the law to amateur there are matching light wells to match the building adjacent to the one felt unites most finished whether the complex of the area three and four story buildings or 3 and 4 and 5 there's a variety it doesn't matter the height limit is 40 feet this building is under 4 feet the same height as the building right near it so that number of floors isn't as important as the total of height very happy to see 12 units and happy to see on site affordable and family size units which is encouraging because we see so many projects that are built with studios and one bedrooms and really didn't help the needs of people that have children or you know extend families or other unit last more than one or two bedrooms i agree with project sponsor there's seems like a mixed bag between buildings that are buil

. >> commissioner antonini. >> i think we have a gentleman that wants to speak i know it's been closed but. >> claims he couldn't hear and i have a hearing device hates imperfect. >> the public comment portion is closed if so chair choose to reopen it, it's entirely up to her. >> okay sir, you, go ahead and speak. >> i didn't hear very well good afternoon commissioners and commissioner president wu i'm john over 40 year period have participated i was a committee activist before the commission as well the coalition of neighborhoods and also a member of the board of supervisors and during those periods i really - i commend you for holding the hearing but i really am very concerned about the assault of having a 4 hundred and 50 some page of documents being reviewed for 3 minutes how can a public hearing be a valid public hearing to review a one section of 4 hundred and 68 page document even with a number of hearings a 4 hundred and 68 page document i think this violates what is a valid protective hearing process if our city and 40 years ago the staff were submitted to the commission a typ

. >> 30 seconds commissioner antonini i want to be clear decades ago the lead was cleaned and we haven't shot lead since 1994 and target have been used since the year 2000 we're talking about the pollution from the manufactured classes that were shot before the year 2000 that had asphalt based on and we've shot a bio degrapple if we have more range you'd see them desolved their bio degrapple but we're talking about the asphalt based materials. >> i understand what you're saying. >> and the shot didn't go into the lake it was years ago but the current shot does not it falls into the property and iron is a substance in property so that steel shot is not thought to be - >> i appreciate that one more question the club is stating they've done a clean obviously not to the level by the agencies involved. >> yeah. the puc has some information regarding that. >> good afternoon clean up just to make sure we getty everything clear the clean up was there's been no clean up on the soil on site the clean up is referenced in the 86 we had a company do a drudging so they recycle some of the lead this wa

. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i port the project for the reasons states first of all, it's been pointed out that the subject property is to the north of the dr requester it's hard for light and air to be blocked by the project it is where it's located secondly, the project sponsor has set back the project 15 feet in the front that is respectful of the property line windows but the set back likewise those to be exposed and 3 foot set back all along by the project sponsor that allows what light to get into the light well, for the dr requester so i think this was answers all the concerns that were raised except for privacy and i think from what i can tell the windows are quite a ways away from the project and bring in shades but i don't know why they have to change their design in regards to the privacy issue. >> commissioner hillis. >> i agree i don't see anything extraordinary kind of the front deck maybe you can address i think and i agree with the commenter we see a lot of 0 boxes we set back them 15 feet their s

seeing none commissioner antonini >> yeah. i have a couple of questions in terms of who would qualify is it anyone that says their disabled or do they have to have a blue licensed. >> they have to show the modification they're requested meets the disability so that can be a note from a doctor but the law you basically have to show for a ramp is for the date. >> you showed the area that looked like

seeing none commissioner antonini >> yeah. i have a couple of questions in terms of who would qualify is it anyone that says their disabled or do they have to have a blue licensed. >> they have to show the modification they're requested meets the disability so that can be a note from a doctor but the law you basically have to show for a ramp is for the date. >> you showed the area that looked like the driveway they also paved part of their yard we don't allow people to pave their front yard but to allow moist moist to throwing would this have precedent over that policy if there was a situation because it looked like in that example the driveway. >> the planning code requirements for that would apply if they checked with non-compliance with that requirement was required for the reasonable version process. >> thank you. >> commissioner moore. >> thank you. i think this is a thoughtfully prepared ordinance the only thing i'll ask what type of training are we envisioning for planning staff and the administrator to deal with that t

commissioner president wu so moved, commissioners, that motion passes 5 to 2 about commissioner antonini and commissioner richards voting against arrest commissioner wil5 minute break. >> welcome back to the san francisco regular meeting for november 6, 2014, conversions we left off under your conditional use calendar for case d at 520 this is a request for quality of life. >> members of the planning commission the project before you locked on the boulevard proposes to lift the building to insert a second level to provide a garbage at the rear yard area it includes the edition the zoning administrator requester would like the rear edition to be pulled back to the existing deck at the second floor the dr requesters concerns the department if find it to be extraordinarily and asked that you approve that project and do not take discretionary review thank you. >> thank you. the dr requester our team has five minutes. >> good evening commissioner president wu and commissioners tracey representing the dr requester maria the owner the adjacent property to the east of the project you have our br

. >> commissioner antonini. >> i'm concerned the dr requester didn't show up which is kind of odd i'll favor a continuance because i be i'd like to at least see if we can get the dr requester to come here and perhaps the project sponsors could try to work further with the dr requester to see if there's a way to resolve her retainedcy situation and see if we want to leave the kitchen in it or not and it becomes a simpler thing i'll make a motion i'll see if i get a second. >> i wasn't aware it was continued i'm going to probably support the motion the dr requester didn't come and i wonder how mafltd she is. >> let me just comment so this is an unusual one i'm sympathetic you're trying to live out the wishes but the dr requester is not here we have no idea of their complaint and maybe a legitimate reason they're not here so i'll support a continuance i understand that commissioner richards position on this i like our energy on it i'd rather take that energy and fight when a bigger issue and maybe a project will come up i'm a little bit torn there is so many unusual pieces i'm not sure we

. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i have questions for staff okay. i'm looking the plans now there's been conjure about the different positions of the garage but according to the plans the separation between the existing garage and the easement are 20 feet 6 inches and the same distance it shown on the proposed site 20 feet 6 inches so, i mean there's maybe a slope that is part of the new driveway to allow the cars duo to go into the driveway. >> the project is not being changed the footprint of the existing building doesn't change that is only the vertical position on top of the garage. >> if i'm reading this there's a slope that allows the garage level to be slightly lower maybe i'm miss interpreting that. >> what's the present height of the garage and what will the height be with the edition on the top someone said something about to the call of the chair feet. >> the vertical edition above the deck a 12 needed no total that goes to the slope roof. >> the peak. >> and then somewhat lower on the slopes. >> correct. >> the four feet that was referen

thank you commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i'm supportive i understand the motion includes the motion on park and prohibition on alcohol and tobacco. >> commissioner richards. >> a couple of questions the signage is the fenway that was received from one of the e-mails we had. >> the project sponsor posted some communicated outreach that included the jordan park improvements association and they misdemeanor the plans based on recommendations from the neighborhood. >> okay. >> and there's agreement. >> okay. great where's the closet alcohol sales around the site? i actually do not know maybe commissioner fong can answer (laughter) >> they moved across the street. >> commissioners there's a motion and second to approve this matter with conditions as amended by staff and print the sale of. >> commissioner antonini. >> commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner johnck's commissioner fong. >> commissioner president wu so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero and places you under

. >> commissioner antonini. >> thank you for a wonderful presentation a couple of words of not caution but making sure we evaluate the entire history for example, in many of our areas they've changed ethnicly over the years like north beach and jackson squad car been an italian area but the international settlement and the same the south of market the filipino area you spoke about before they were there it was an relishing and greek area we're not tied to an ethnic group but the entire history of the area from the beginning of san francisco and that we you know make sure that everyone in the whole city weeks ago in on how the heritage is going to be preserved and preserve as much as you think, in reference to businesses families will decide they don't want to deal with a business case in the joseph west lakd not in san francisco the same what apply they decided no tosto run it and other family bought it hopefully, will have the same name similarly to what is there now anything we can do to encourage but while it's important to empower the people that live in a particular neighborhood a

commissioner antonini >> yeah. in terms of the many irs i've read this ranges among some of the most complete and accurate alternatives this is a large project and hybrid between an diddle project we certainly need to have comments and responses to comments and a few things that came up and brought up and came to my attendance what the camper building and interest and possible being part of the development as opposed to be torn down and i'm not saying that is a recommendation but i think there is an analysis to the preservation alternative is in there which does allow for this but it allows for other things to be preserved that may not be preserved and this is something that will be addressed whether that's a possibility or hybrid between the preservation he alternative and the alternative that is a fashld one and, of course, the impacts that were brought up as the speakers the making have a building next door those are things we'll deal with as we move forward making sure the construction impacts are mitigated and

okay seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner antonini. >> well, a few things milestone might be instructive i know of a number of individuals that own food and who own murdering most not able the family that were born in san francisco and have moved about 10 or 15 years ago to brisbane and it is instructive if you talk to them ever or on that fit the category to find out the reasons usually the reaps are not the ones i've stated in our presentation although those could be so many they were concerned about the taxation policies in san francisco to some degree we've eliminated the payroll tax this was a huge incentive and crime around the distribution center and parking for their employees which is a challenge in san francisco and many of the employees in san francisco do drive and they need to be able to park and access the plant and then the general process of the city where the amount of time it takes to get anything approved and done and to a lessor degree degree is distribution issues we can't change we're an peninsula surround by water there's breweries and coffee compani
