. >> okay seeing none, public comment is closed commissioners commissioner antonini. >> thank you some very good work on part of staff i will agree ass as it's been the housing element is a guideline it's an overarching statement it gives us an arena goals radio only goals and what's suggested but do not dictate assignments each project has to be evaluated on its own merits and to produce where there's money to produce if we end up with a higher percentage of certain price ranges of housing because this is what can be funded a couple of things i want to thank ms. mohan for changing the policy 4 point had the language is in there what happened with that in the earlier housing element there had on a preponderance of ownership housing that was built and but we have to be careful to build enough rental housing you've changed the word ownership to rental but you made the same intent to make sure we build enough rental housing but it makes sense in terms of the mr. star please be advised that the chair may order the removal from the meeting room the way it's written is better a few comments

. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. a couple of questions as to understanding the dir as it's been presented my understanding from reading this we're considering the baseline what difference exists day or at the time of the acquisition of the academy of the proposed and our analysis focus on the changes their approaching in the future we typically do with an environmental review we don't typically analyze it is that the case. >> we're analyzing everything that was it was basically from september 2010 when the loophole will that for this eir went out so september 2010 to the future which is generally 2020 but it is everything they've done at any of their sites since september 2010 we're looking at you know of they have made changed to their shuttles, etc. since 2010 that will be analyzed for their environmental impact. >> aside from the record itself you're going to give the commissioners the notice - the existing sites technical memorandum which is going to try to tell us of changes that may have occurred during the own

thank you. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. thank you, sir and others i know those suggestions are all great ones bond issues in the past a lot of bond issues for affordable housing and even infrastructure have failed i think the compliment is right for a large bond issue or bond issues particularly about housing to provide money for housing as stated market rate housing is only going to provide a percentage towards affordable and does many good things for a growing housing for twitter and other companies that can afford this and if we remember not building new housing they're here and staying here but as far as dressing e addressing the larger picture for the bridge toll which was braupthd that makes sense instead of building those lines of bart out a someplace where we'll have a small population and they have their own bart station we should be working on enter city bart expectations and a bag are places we had to advocate everybody is happy to have jobs here and happy to help us meet our needs by giving us this fund and not

. >> commissioner antonini i'm support supportive of what commissioner moore said those 3 plays on harper are north korea conforming structures that were put in you know on a lost that is really a single lot and they built those without any thought of open space for those colonials so the open space that exist was sons-in-law property it is kind of an unusual situation the dr requesters is asking about the planter how big it the deck staff what size for bringing the deck down to 9 by telling. >> 12 by 20 i think. >> 12 by 20. >> with the planter box. >> oh okay and so it is about 5. >> so we're changing it from 10 by telephone that's a fairly good-sized deck i don't see the night of that being done i'll be supportive it will help the dr requester with more light and supportive of that change either way works for me. >> commissioner richards i think this is unusual you have those tree e three houses close together even though some separation your walling off the light of one entire house i like the idea of having the project sponsor having the programming in the rear yard 10 by 12 deck is

so those are my questions for new now. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i like this legislation it allows per diems a flexible to be still make choices whether or not they want to have parking in their opinion it is most directed as existing parking in the past a ground floor that could be converted to better uses attachment to allow them to convert that parking to you know housing or other uses other than the ground floor we're encouraging more in the past there were more of a tendency to put parking on ground floor we had those problems with how the 0 mask it original projects you'll look in and see that parking not attractive and other projects where blank walls were put up to mask if that also was not attractive i'm supportive of the amendments including the ones by the gentleman to grandfather a lot of those projects or almost all of them have put their projects together and time period to actually have those built for approval i'm not quite sure mr. sanchez they have to be under construction or approved during the period of time for two years. >> ar

. >> a motion and second commissioner antonini. >> well, i'd like to comment on regardless of whether or not it's continued first of all, most of what we've asked for has been done by the project sponsor removing the top level and dlaevent technically and reducing the parking i remember mention of the trees and i think it's important that those projects get approved because they have done what we're asked and i've read the report detailed from dpw and their talk about the trees not being the best their sandwiched into a narrow area of a deep slope they might survive it's going to be difficult you know for them to do so i think particularly with any projects that is built certainly, if we set back the project and allow an attempt to save the trees interestingly enough mohammed nuru if you take the trees out he only thought you had room to put one new tree babbling back but those are smaller trees so i've been to the site i can see the trees will grow anywhere and stipz will grow anymore i'm supportive of project i think it's well-thought-out and it aweville's it's itself in a difficult
