thank you, commissioners, the c.u. has been disapproved. you are now on item number 13. case number 2009.1100c 1095 market street. >> good afternoon, commissioners, i'm tim pi representing the planning department, the request is for a conditional use authorization to convert the building at 1095 market street from a 61000 square feet commercial office building to a hostel use with up to 94 rooms. associated uses within the hostel will include approximately 2500 square feet related to a restaurant approximately 3500 square feet related to nighttime entertainment and two rooftop terraces that total approximately 850 0 square feet. >> since the distribution of your parkts -- packets, two letters of support have been submitted to the department and i'd like to give you those for the record. one is a letter of support from san francisco architectural heritage, the other from a nearby property owner. the subject building is a category one significant building, identified under article 11 of the planning code the historic preservation commission hearing on october 6 last week t

plan does provide an avenue for a code complying project to avoid the requirement if approved by a c.u. by the commission. the authorization is the current proposal for the project and the full board voted to approve this resolution 7-3. earlier today they recommended the re-nomination of commissioner borden. >> and the planning vote to update the vision valley community facilities infrastructure fee and fund to confirm to other programs and areas. that concludes my report unless there are questions. president miguel: thank you. commissioner antonini: i don't need an answer right now, but on the changes to what we had passed regarding transferable development rights with historic structures and i would like to know what those were to what we had and what the concerns were voiced about it because it looks like it seemed to be fine when it was coming out of here. and finally, there was the mention of the van ess avenue special use district item that had been discussed at the supervisors and i believe a resolution was introduced if i'm not mistaken next week. and i just would like to see

it's more restrictive than the c.u. conditions and it's in front of you for your consideration. the applicant also submitted letters of report with his application, notably from the union street association and the union street enrichment association. the other thing i did want to point out was that the planning department has indicated that the applicant is in the midst of completing a building permit application that is relevant to the second and third-floor uses. i don't believe those are entertainment uses, so they're not really something you need to concern yourself with, but they are asking staff that we not issue the final permit until or unless that building permit process is considered complete. vice chair joseph: who's asking that? >> the planning department. i didn't mean to confuse you. it's not that complicated. but you may issue a conditional grant, i just wanted to be clear with you that there's an outstanding building permit. your conditional grant should be conditioned on the completion of that as well as any other conditions that you might want to impose. vice

that it is -- when i look at proposals like this -- in increasing the -- increasing the area plan of c.u., one of the most dine nick neighborhoods in the city is the mission district. it is because it is kind of just kind of growing. people -- you know are allowing these things to -- all of these alternative things to happen there without any interference at all from government. >> do we need conditional use for the mission area? >> i like to take a look at where that is at. i get my -- guess my greater concern, neighborhoods that have large vacancies and are under, under developed, they -- they don't have the foot traffic and what is going on. you see, you see, a need for -- for i think relaxing of restrictions, not increasing them. that's all i'm going to say. >> what if this was tied to some type of square footage threshold, similar to what we -- what -- commissioner o'brien was proposing earlier on, where 2500 square feet and below doesn't require al use. >> perhaps that's something that we could take to the supervisor's office. and see -- see if she would be interested in that or if

c.u. c.u.r.e. shane, each letter means something. >> it sure does.t. it's -- pastor max who wrote the ford, said the stuck places in our life. and help us to walk into places where we can reach our full potential. >> when you talk about compassion, it means different things to different people. explain what it means to you. >> the word means, broken down, in the original context, to step into the shoes of someone else. and to see a new perspective. so, it's not just about doing a good work or a good act. it's about actually understanding from a new angle what their struggle is. and therefore, you connect in a very personal way. >> and you've talked about how this has helped you through your struggle. your current struggle. and previous struggles. explain to us how c.u.r.e. has helped you, beginning with compassion. >> the most difficult i've gone through, the most difficult struggle was losing my brother. he was 24 years old. he was in an accident. an atv accident. and four days after the funeral, i was diagnosed with breast cancer. that's a tough ti

rural areas, we tacked for a while of grand junction having 10 or 12 medical students from c.s.u., c.u. medical school, sorry, spending their last two years out in grand junction on the condition that then they would practice in rural areas. how do we use technology to make sure those areas are able to get out of medicine? part is finding other incentives. but how do we get health clinics? underserved communities so we can do more preventive medicine so we don't end up in the emergency rooms with these incredibly high costs? >> dan maes? >> i ran into a unique program called clinic net. and what i love about this program is, it's not government-sponsored, there's no tax dollars going into it. but it's designed for people who don't have health insurance. either they're unemployed, but don't feel they can afford it. >> so doctors volunteer to go into those clinics, and they help support that small rural community, and there's about 12 of them across our state. i think telemedicine is great. using technology is great. we tried to get a daughter through nursing school, and you've got a lot
