90 days of the filing of the application in the bit faster than our one hundred and 20 day altercate commissioners given the applications we struggle to meet that timeline second thing that the sb 4 p does it guarantees an application placement on the commission consent calendar which provides a level of certainty andes penscy when it comes into city hall excuse me. >> as you may recall commissioners the sb 4 p does all this through an approach that is particularly not able we do it by cutting away the excessive paperwork that we and the staff have fallen into the practice of conditional use matters by cutting away the paperwork we're able to process the application for quickly and this extending the solution the non sb don't suffer when the sb 4 p was adapted two years ago it was acknowledged by this small business commission our practice of drafting robust lengthy draft motions in case of the exclusive summaries was not useful for the straightforward applications some of you saw the example on the slide i'll put it on the screen i like it on the left-hand side of the screen is a 17

i put in an application. at the time i put in the application i indicate my age. mta recognize i'm a senior. do i have to do another application? >>yeah this is just due to the means based aspect of the program. any current clipper card holder needs to let us know what their income is and their address an we can communicate with them. >>do i need the rtc card? r >>the rtc card is for the riders with disabilities potential expansions for the two different groups. >>the senior clipper card. >>you indicate that i also can register or put in my application for this. will it be multilanguages? >>yeah we'll be translating the application into seven or eight languages. >>you indicated it may start as early as march 1. p >>that is the plan. >>thank you. >>what constitutes proof of age? >>we have birth certificate, passports. for the youth we also use a registered id with the school but standard proof of age has generally be driver's license, birth certificate, passport. >>i'm not sure this is a question you'll be able to answer, but i'll ask anyway. why is proof of age ma

are for much larger application types so which require a more extensive and timely review those applications require a much higher intact fees the applications are bans the estimated cost so we're clept a budget surplus in the coming year this chart shows 15 fiscal years of volume trend with the lines the percentage change in the prior years to the first 4 fiscal years we've experienced growth and in the two upcoming years we're expecting flat volume from the current year. >> so moving on to the revenue budget as i mentioned we're expecting a minor budget that surplus in the current fiscal year due to the mix of applications with the in take fees being higher over the past few weeks we've been working with the mayor's office instead of moving forward with the supplemental we will be that he man to use the surplus in the upcoming years you'll see the or so or so i quiz going forward and seung authorizations to hire 10 positions as quickly as possible so we can work on those programs for immediately you'll see our charges for revenues and it will be growing over the next two years primarily wi

with housing applications, those are all things we do want to see brought in line. i think our goal and why we wanted to eliminate the tier system is that it really creates a false sense of, okay, maybe i don't need to translate these things or i don't need to provide interpretation services and we thought it was important that all of us, all city departments have to be brought in line. the second component was that we really wanted to strengthen ocea as sort of the public for where we can access information, seek help for the various departments and so we're going to look to see how we could do that through this year's budget process. so, with that, i know that our nonprofit partners are going to be a huge part of this effort throughout the years, it's not going to end here. with that i would like to actually just make a motion for the amendments that i stated earlier and leave supervisor yee's opportunity to make his amendment at the full board. if we could take that without objection. >> we can take that without objection. >> thank you very much. >> and we will f

with the ease of the application, you press a button and add your application on to other schools.u don't have to do additional writing for them, why not? >> have these rigorous essays actually heard some schools? >> if you look at a school like haverford college, it asks about their famed honor code, which they're very proud of, and you have to do that essay and their numbers have been stagnant. the dean of admissions was very happy with the applicant pool, but they worry what the outside world thinks. are they as competitive as a school like swaths more? >> you pointed out in the story the rating agency moody's, it doesn't seem to be fooled by this application inflation artificial and inflated applications. is there a possibility that could be detrimental to some schools? >> yes. they pointed to a report that this application inflation could be not so great for colleges because they get a ton of applications and the kids who are applying may not really want to go there. how do you protect your budget? you don't really know who's going to come. >> talk to us about drexel. it is on

does not slow down our non-sb4p applications so it's nonzero sum. the fact of the matter, commissioners, is that our practice, the planning department's practice of preparing these massive case summaries, these massive case motions for each and every planning department -- planning commission item and certainly the smaller and more conventional small business items is just a practice that doesn't lend any value to the process. now, to that point and you may have seen this example on the next slide before but i like it and i'm going to show it to you one more time. on your left-hand side we have a 17-page motion approving a 900 square foot restaurant expansion and on the right we have the 10 page motion for at&t park. the point is of course that there is no intrinsic value to lengthy approval documents. now owing to that presumption our sb4p projects are approved using a two-page project summary and motion which you see on the right-hand side of the screen, rather than the 20 or 30 or sometimes 40-page approval document. that's incredibly time saving

if an interviewer suspected the applicants or correctly understood, correctly understood the applicant or a head bar for religious purposes at that point there would be a duty to accommodate. whether abercrombie did or did not make assumptions about future compliance of the policy applied at the interview there would be a duty to accommodate the correct understanding at the interview. employers in order to protect themselves in the future from having a jury finding that they must have correctly understood a particular -- >> what is the difference between that -- >> i don't understand. would you finish your thought to >> the only way employers can protect themselves is by training managers to stereotypes about possible religious belief because the judge or jury might later find abercrombie wore an employer correctly understood or must have correctly understood under an objective test. >> you are saying the problem with the rule is it requires to engage in what might be thought of as an awkward conversation. people can disagree with anyone can ask those questions that you are saying we s

there are 7 seats and 7 applicants. >> okay, so i have a number of names, applicants who are here for the san francisco health authority, which is responsible for coordinating a lot of our health care delivery services. we have a very complex system here in san francisco and why don't we call up people as they are here. i believe susan kern is not going to be able to be here today, there's a function she is at with san francisco general hospital so let's go on to the second applicant for seat 5, john gressman. >> afternoon, supervisors, john gressman,ment of -- president of the san francisco rate authority. it's my pleasure to work with the health authority, i've been a board member for about 15 years of the 18 years we've been in existence. i represent the 11 nonprofit community health centers, the largest medicare health provider in the city of san francisco. we are also a federal homeless grantee. through our tenure together we have had unique collaborations and as a health plan board member i will continue that collaboration between the department of public health, the private sec

meaning over the past years we've seen 10 applications with the sb that's not many those are a number of names of the facilities and under the dp 3-d if in place we may have seen 40 cases take advantage of the program out of the roughly 2 hundred plus in the year i think what's important much of the program remains unchanged the s bp 3 requests they do a meeting with the neighbors that works and i suggest the remaining part of the program most projects it represents an enhanced represents under this program if you want the priority you need to do the extra work we developed a referral an assistance program with the office of economic workforce development that is something we ask remain in place it's important to acknowledge the commissioners that with any set of criteria there will be expectation despite meeting our criteria may not be appropriate to include that the program we've built in flexibility to deal with those applications to highlight each d b-3 case a a conditional use that means the same bottom line and the notice for the neighbors and the same standard informative appro

this is his current application 2015. >> that's an amendment he always has the previous application i didn't put the whole thing. >> okay. i guess i have to ask you this is the one that was submitted in 2012. >> yeah. >> i get it in 2012 under item none 10 it says describes our plan to control the crowds on the sidewalk of streets he says there's no lines we're a restaurant we don't endorse the noise a that's 2, 3, 42012 and now i am assuming you enforce no smoking on your line; is that correct. >> i request endorse no smoking we're endorsing 20 feet of our area we're 20. >> i don't know last time i received from the city is 20 so we do enforcement. >> can i sky a question you're a business owner and know what licenses you need to run our business how come you didn't pay tax. >> i've been very bad at reading the lawyer said please start reading so every time i went out to pay a fee i don't know until what kinds of things are listed into the business permit i've been only operating the business licenses and some taxes are paid i don't know first of all i'm not involved in the permit

to fix the damage so in our application for a permit is there something on there that says i declare that all of this is truthful and accurate we don't think. >> when you sign the document it's the application document our stating that whatever is on that document is correct. >> and the proper document for occupancy would come after planning allows that and then it will be an amended certificate or what would be the proper document. >> before we even go under the direction of having to amend a document hopefully have the right document with the right information in this case we don't this was one of the reasons he decided to suspend the permit and not revoke it with the hopes we'll find a way to run state the permit with the approvals. >> i have a question based on some of the other documents and seeing so in the case of that occupancy would the - if we are dealing - if the planning department were to legalize it and it comes back to us to make sure the work is done correctly when would the residential occupancy go back to - i'm curious. >> i think from the day's of issuance from the

i'm strongly supportive of this application. it's hard to imagine a more important cultural institution than the roxie around this area they are a great community partner and i think this is something that would really help them be even more successful as we're -- i know they are struggling. this is technically in district 8 but right next to my district so i move this item forward with a positive recommendation. >> thank you supervisor campos and yeah i can't wait to have a beer in the roxie and can't wait for the next set of movies coming so colleagues, can we do this without objection? thank you. >> please call the next item. >> to consider the transfer of type 48 on sale license from 1000 van ness avenue to 3336-24th street. to caroline santiago brown for the third street bar. >> thank you. i appreciate. >> sorry. >> that's okay. good afternoon . what would be the 24th street bar and caroline brown on behalf has applied for a public premise license and the license is relocated from 1000 van ness avenue. . this premise was a

in reviewing this application, even though it is an alteration permit that has been submitted here, we did review it and find that there's a demolition per section 317, section 317 as you can imagine does not contemplate a scenario quite like this, you have a building under construction because what appears to be user error there was an argument made that this was a calamity we did not find this to be a calamity which would allow certain revisions in the planning code to allow certain construction, whether it was an act of god or enemy of the state we did not find that to be the case based upon dment of building inspection report about the collapse itself. it was clear that the requirements had not been met for shoring and that led to the disaster here, so with reviewing the application we -- they gave us plans we determined that 317 was triggered, that would be a mandatory discretionary review hearing at the planning commission. they argued that they were not affordable, within section 317, and that favors 1.56 million, the report that is were first given to us the appraisals contempl

2014 plus relocation of dormer under the application total cost for has been paid under the previousermit and 6 and permit 9 are fire permits their reviewed and priced by the san francisco fire department and their costs were $39,000 13 thousand respectfully and they would have been to install an independent line and meter for the strirlgz and the fire alarm system the 7th permit is a reroofing permit some work to the roof and chimney at the cost of $30,000 a a the permit for the habitable bathroom to the floor and convert existing roof to my left at rear east the cost is $25000 and originally the project sponsor attempted to get this passed we were pretty much it was an attic and couldn't show evidence that the attic was liveable habitable space we told them they'll have to come back and legalize it they do and the cost onsite was $25,000 tenth permit i've talked about it you wanted the cost of permit and an additional $108,000 we sent a separate inspector out to walk the job near the end he figured under 8 thousands what correct the other permits to add the air conditioning to the

religious practice. >> and the applicants reference didn't know the applicant? >> they did know the applicant. so that is traceable through the applicant. >> what is the difference? i am still very confused. you don't think that there could ever be discrimination based on the general neutral policy. because what does it matter if she told him that this was because of religious belief. if he's only hiring her or not hiring her because of this policy, then he hasn't discriminated. >> if she had told him that this is for religious belief and i need an accommodation, at that point there would be ability to accommodate. but the question is. >> i am so totally confused. that's not enough. >> that's right, because she testified that she did not know that she wore a headscarf or religious reasons. we want to avoid is what whether employers think or gas or sixpack. >> all they have to do is say this is what our policy is, do you have any problem as has been pointed out.
