commissioner borden: you can sit down. i think you have answered enough questions, but i think that is something we need to get on the record. i was less than enthusiastic about the liquor license, but when it was brought the idea of not taking the trouble with a license, i thought that would maybe be ok, but then i hear this list that makes me freak out. i know there was a letter out to the commission. because i understood that the supervisor's office was working on the issue. i know technically, the liquor license issue is not before us today. it is to be used for the project, and there was some hint that the supervisor's office was working on it. i just wanted to hear whether indeed the supervisor's office has been involved on this particular point about the troubled liquor license. my only thing was that there were people in the community who said that they would prefer not to weigh in on the issue because there were other things working behind the scenes, and i just wanted to understand what that was. >> yes, i apprec

commissioner borden: i am just wondering. i know there have been cases where we have encouraged people to stop different things on their cells. you have to speak from the microphone and not the audience. >> to clarify, we i don't shoot -- sherman williams corporation owns several other companies. so the only place you can buy sherman williams-label products is a sherman williams store. president olague: mr. cornell, you can come to the microphone also. >> there will not be a sherman williams product in his store. the only sherman williams stores sell sherman williams products. president olague: it looks like the motion -- please, mr. cornell. definitely. >> i cannot think of any compromise like that. commissioner borden: i just thought i would ask. president olague: ok, we have a motion on the floor to deny the project. recall the question. >> the motion on the floor is for disapproval of the proposal that is before you. on that motion, commissioner miguel >> no. >> commissioner borden president olagu, -- the passes 4-3. than

commissioner olague: commissioner borden? commissioner borden i think my colleagues have covered a lot of the issues that this legislation covers. there are of great pieces here. i think a lot of the issues around f.a.r., bicycle parking, regular parking, affordable housing, everything dealing with the c-3 district is a lot of things that we grapple with on a regular basis with these large projects. i think this area is -- more work on this direction, supporting this, would be worthwhile. that is not to preclude conversation that we have had with the affordable housing community, looking at how this may complement the other thing that we could give out for incentives. obviously, even beyond those districts, we need to look at some things if they make sense. a lot of the staff recommendation is related to amendments to parking, signage in the waterfront, i think make sense. i was confused that we put the parking rate structure in the code. it seems to me, bizarre. i understand this is the practice. it would seem to me it would

[laughter] commissioner olague: commissioner borden? commissioner borden: i just wanted to show the public that this is the environmental review documents. if you were wondering if it's adequate or accurate, and i want to thank the port and all our staff and all the stake holders that have been involved. i think the mitigation and monitoring report and e.i.r. really y -- high lites the best thinking. it was said from one of the members when she said that the air quality will be better after the america's cup which is astounding. i have a lot of faith and what is included here will be implemented and will make things better. i was looking a little bit at some sequa stuff and section 21002. it just says that for don'ting feasibility -- to substantially lessen our void that once our agency has documented significant measures to lessen son impacts the agency need not under sequa don't every mitigation squeem brought to its attention. and i just say that to say obviously things are going to change because of the negotiations, the conversatio

commissioner borden? commissioner fong? commissioner miguel? commissioner moore? president olague? commissioner sugaya? thank you, the item has been approved as proposed. we're now at commissioner's questions and matters. item number 5 is for your consideration, a draft of the hearing scheduled for 2012. i send the schedule to each of you electronically. >> i do not have it. >> so you did not bring it with you? >> no. >> madam president, you did receive this last friday electronically peter thank you. i just wanted to acknowledge that. president olague: we did receive it. >> because you do not have it, the city attorney will make copies and bring it up. i ask that we delay this item until after item 6 or even after directors report, to allow you a chance to get caught up. president olague: ok. >> thank you. item number six. are there any other commission matters? commissioner antonini: thank you. i want to think the housing action coalition for forwarding a reprint from the "new york times" of a very interesting but for the review of a book, the history of suburban corporate lans g

commissioner borden: i understand. it is interesting because we have a quandary on this case, i appreciate the comments that we have put these people through a lot have to tell them to do something different is very difficult. we are in a 40 x and district. whenever we decide within this case, we are going to see more and more additions in the neighborhood. it is happening all over the city. there are height limits that people are planning their buildings within, and we have to make a decision, are we saying that in this neighborhood, we want to see horizontal editions, and we should have staff go back and talk to people? and does that mean what we want to see, are going to feel that way 10 years down the road? i am just putting this out there. or would we say that we would rather have the smaller third story addition and doing it the way we're doing it now? i might point to a certain degree that this is precedent- setting in whatever direction we choose to go, we need to be comfortable when we look at the long view of

commissioner borden: aye. commissioner fong: aye. commissioner sugaya: no. vice president miguel: aye. commissioner moore: no. president olague: aye. >> that motion passes. you are now on case #10. 340 fremont street. >> good afternoon. the case before you is a performance request at 340 fremont street that would extend the approval period to november 13, 2012. the planning commission originally approved this project in june of 2006 and due to the fact that the extensions must be obtained annually, this product has received three previous extensions as detailed in the case report. the project proposes to demolish the two buildings on site and construct a 400-foot tall tower with an 85-foot tall podium. up to 32 dwelling units with 40% being 2-bedroom units. a four-level underground garage, half of which would be access to the ballet system. no changes to the original project are proposed. the project sponsor states the infusion of capital will allow the project to a for construction documents in 2012. i will lead the progress on for elaborate on that. the pl

president olague: commissioner borden? commissioner borden: thank you for the presentation. the spend a lot of time in this area because of step kids and out of town visitors. i am excited to see the jefferson street improvements. that street is very chaotic, with all of the cars. there is always parking on the street because i don't think a lot of cars drive down. it is turning more into a pedestrian right of way, and it makes more sense. >> absolutely, thank you very much. president olague: commissioner fong? commissioner fong: thank you. this has been a public/private effort. the pitching in and the heavy lifting, as well as the financials. the most important thing, this is an opportunity for a good part of san francisco to really become a pedestrian priority and remove some of the street traffic, the car traffic. i just want to commend that, thank you. president olague: commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: yes, i think he mentioned 12 million visitors per year? >> that is correct. commissioner sugaya: and tens of thousands of people walking on jefferson. they must n

commissioner borden: second. commissioner moore: the issue from the very beginning was really for us to gather focus on the standards of living ability when it comes to adaptive re- use. it was in that discussion that i think ideas came about which i can sometimes described to the commission in detail, but that is not the case right now. staff can do it as well as i can. but the developer, not you could always have an issue with the unit, but that is not under discussion today. as it is, i think it supporting the product for approval is in order. president olague: commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: very well done. among other things that were brought up, improvements with the windows, but the elevation on jesse and stevenson makes it much more, i think, contextual, and it harkens back to its original use such a little more. that was very well done. president olague: i just want to thank the project sponsor for continuing to work with us on our concerns, and commissioner moore i know raised a lot. i wan
