three of which were requesting the c.u. for additional parking and sfgov tv, if you could show the overhead, that would be great. and so, you know, looking at them, i see that 33 goff is one project on the city college parcel where their preliminary project assessment shows that they're subject to an 18% b.m.r. requirements. there we go. and so i think -- then we're looking at, and seeking a c.u. for an additional 130 -- jeremy, can you push that down a little bit so we can see it? >> yep. oh. wrong way. not sure how well that is coming through. right. so, basically we're talking about there are three projects seeking conditional use for an additional 400 parking spaces. i think at least one of them, 30 otis is one that's not seeking the c.u. the p.p.a. says it's already subject to the additional 25% b.m.r. requirement. i think, you know, on-site affordable housing is an excellent idea whenever feasible. but this idea of trading parking for affordable housing seems problematic. and lastly i would say the uncertainty that th

the other thing that boxcar needed a c.u. was to be able to serve alcohol during performance and operate as bar. if future tenants were tom cease operation, the operation for a bar use would also go away. it's no longer just a stand-alone bar. to clarify, however, the prior 10 and the of the building was primarily gold mountain restaurant. that restaurant was already in existence. china live now coming in is a continuation of that existing restaurant use. there was no conditional use authorization for china live. that restaurant use was in existence prior to when the chinatown zoning controls took place and when conditional use hearing would have been required. i would need to defer to the city attorney whether the commission could retroactively apply any conditions to china live's operation. to your question, the gate, the history of the gate, is murky, at best. to my knowledge, i've not seen any permitting history or any hearings in front of planning or the planning commission with regard to the gate. i've been forwarded em

i would just say the uncertainty that the c.u. process creates a lot of difficulty for developers and not knowing . -- developers look at this and expect that they'll get that c.u., the public that you hear from here looks at what's principally allowed and expects that projects will abide by the 4-to-1 raich yo. and creates this uncertainty that is going to lead to, you know, each of these projects being debated again at the planning commission, which doesn't seem very helpful to us. i would urge you to just eliminate the exemption for affordable housing and clear up this process for all of us and save us all a lot of time. thank you for your leadership on this, supervisor breed. i really appreciate your comments. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. supervisors andy thornly, speaking for myself. thank you, president breed, for bringing this. thank you, supervisor peskin and kim for co-sponsoring. i wanted to voice my support for the interim controls. i do want to echo what tom and jeremy and others have said. i

i oppose the c.u. application and support the planning department's recommendation to incorporate a second unit. as a resident of this neighborhood, i've fought very hard with other neighbors to protect the rear yards of through lots like at 214 state street. street-facing rear yards is one of the special things in the neighborhood. initial protections for rear yards were put in place by supervisor weiner. these controls became permanent thanks to the help of supervisor sheehy. the current cua does keep the rear yard, but it does open up the possibility to add an additional unit. by doing the development in two stages, sponsor would divert the controls to protect roads on through lots. the developer said that he has no plans to build on museum way, given the misrepresentation of the project that's already been made, saying that the house had a garage, laundry room, i don't think we can rely on the word of the project sponsor not to be considering such an option. all of this can be avoided by adding a s

he then made a motion to reject the appeal of both the c.u. and the ceqa determination and this motion passed unanimously up holding the department's decision and rejecting the appeal. finally the market street h.u.d. controls were adopted and that concludes my report. >> thank you, mr. starr. any questions? ok. we can move on to general public comment. >> i don't have a report for the board of appeals. very good. we can po*ef on to general public comment. at this time, members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that within a subject matter jurisdiction of commission exempt agenda items with respect agenda items your opportunity to address the commission when the item is reached in the meeting. each member of the public may address the commission for up to three minutes. i have no speaker cards. >> go ahead, sir. you can speak. >> [inaudible]. >> no trouble. >> i have presentation materials for members of the commission as well as for staff. >> there it is. >> go ahead, sir. >> yes. my name is kevin cha

you know saudi mudd us is the leader of the c.u. good honest party which had the best i was hoping will result on thursday. at the sun yes life in catalonia has certainly been affected by the divisive political situation with many locals hoping for some kind of breakthrough. there is no progress i believe will mess take a step further and that the bowlers of spain and kind of put themselves in our place and understand they must solve the issue and leave the most extreme positions aside. because as i think things have remained as they were and they should look now for a different solution to solve the problems. of. the whole he has made it clear he would talk with the new leaders as long as they don't violate the country's constitution despite separatist parties winning a slim majority forming a government is still a long way off. we can cross now to lisa lewis she is in barcelona following developments for us we also are a whole rejected a meeting with pushed him on a separatist later offering dialogue does this mean the standoff is

as the hours tick down activists from the left wing c.u. people know vital votes a still up for grabs even in barcelona's backstreets their party is small but was kingmaker in the last election they make for an easy political bedfellows they stand against spain and the monarchy and thermally in favor of a catalan republic run by the working classes. and karl joins me now from barcelona so who's going to win and will that draw a line under this whole thing. will sue really this isn't a question of which individual political party wins this is going to be a question of coalition building now if the unionist bloc if the prospero mission parties if they manage to get a majority in the capital and parliament that could potentially draw the line on that this whole issue of spain would then return devolve powers back to the cattle region there would be an end to this effort to break away that effort to secession movement may continue on the streets but certainly not in holman but if then to produce a session party's win a majority in thursday's el

is that something that would be in a c.u. or -- >> that would be something that's subject to the commission's purview. that would be an agreement that the developer does privately basically. >> commissioner johnson: because they apply for that with h.u.d. and -- okay. that's different. that being said, i think that's something that we with not be in our conditions of approval is what i'm trying to get at. that said, i want to talk about the retail space and potential for it to be pdr or other use. i've expressed concern for years about the ground floor retail spaces in the new developments. most times i've heard that these spaces are loss-leaders. they were put there because they were part of the planning code, with you not part of the proforma of getting return on the project. as a result, we have a number of neighborhoo neighborhoods that have seen newer projects. we have blocks of empty retail spaces that are brand-new that have for lease signs in them and nothing there. this block, i'm familiar with this corner and exactl

neighbors like myself, andily, jayson henderson, do not have the time and resources to fight every c.u. for additional parking. personally, i've attended countless meetings on this issue and i don't want to do it anymore. thank you. >> thank you, mr. leavitt. mr. henderson. >> thank you, supervisors. i have somebody

zoning controls to limb off-street parking for new development and remove the possibility to apply for c.uauthorization to increase such parking in the area known as the hub or the market street hub and making appropriate findings. >> ok. thank you, colleagues. this item was, again, sponsored by supervisor breed who's just joined us in committee. i'll turn it over to her. >> thank you. >> one minute while we get our microphones sorted out. >> thank you for your patience. colleagues, today i'm presenting legislation that will impose interim controls for the market street hub area, also known as the hub. the hub is the most eastern side of the market octavia plan and includes the intersection of market streets with valencia, haitt and goff streets.

neighbors like myself, andily, jayson henderson, do not have the time and resources to fight every c.u. for additional parking. personally, i've attended countless meetings on this issue and i don't want to do it anymore. thank you. >> thank you, mr. leavitt. mr. henderson. >> thank you, supervisors. i have somebody proctoring the final exam, in case anybody's wondering. thank you, supervisor breed. thank you, supervisor kim. thank you, supervisor peskin for shuttling during this long appeal process. thank you sa maen that for all of your help on this. many people have come speak in support of both the appeal that i filed against 1 oak back in july and also in favor of interim controls on the parking. gail baw and others cannot be present this afternoon. but are in support of the interim controls as you've heard multiple times. as you heard from mr. thornly and leavitt, more cars in the hub is going to be unworkable. it is going to be a major problem. from my perspective, i've been long advocating for zero parking in places like the hub. that is preferred but it is also good public pol

i will just note that the two c.u. appeals at the board of supervisors this week, one for the project at 948 lombard street and the other on irving street were both upheld by the board of supervisors and that concludes my remarks. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. >> for just clarity. mr. starr, did you have a question? >> the apellants were not upheld -- >> the c.u.s were upheld. >> that's what i thought. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. tim frye, department staff here to share with you a few items from yesterday's historic preservation commission hearing. on october 19, i shared with you the initiation of three local public schools. thee yore roosevelt, george washington high school and sunshine school, all three of those received a positive recommendation to be forwarded to the board of supervisors at yesterday's h.p.c.s hearing and those hearings will be scheduled some time in the new year. the commission did initiate one new designation at yesterday's hearing. if i could get the overhead, please. thi
