this building is under strong stewardship, ownership of ccdc, so we know it will be run properly going forward. we're very grateful for that. the san francisco r.a.d. program is the largest r.a.d. conversion i think still today in the nation. it's almost 3500 units. it's 29 properties. again, we jumped in early and we jumped in big. in many ways it was crazy how we jumped in, but that was the opportunity and we just seized on it. the outcome of that leadership is manifested right here in 92 new homes. this is what came out of all of that crazy times, you know? so i just want to say at the housing authority, i've been there about three years. i came in to help with the conversion work. i got to work would my colleagues that i was with for many, many years. i think we are experiencing our strongest partnership that we've ever experienced in the city. i want to call out lydia right now, and she's just been -- [applause] >> i don't want to date us, but you know, i've worked with lydia since she was at the coalition on homelessness and created at the street sheet, and then when i came over

>> commissioner koppel: i couldn't speak more about what ccdc does for housing, so i'll make a motion. >> second. >> clerk: there's been a motion to approve the project with conditions. on that motion -- [roll call] >> clerk: so moved, commissioners. that motion passes unanimously, 7-0. commissioners, that'll place you on item 8 for case number 2018-007741 cua at 3133 taraval street. this is a conditional use authorization. >> good afternoon, president hillis, fellow commissioners, jeff horne, planning department staff. the item before you is a request for conditional use authorization to convert a vacant two story single-family dwelling unit to a community center for seniors, doing business as self-help for the elderly. [please stand by] . >> the project sponsor has submitted letters of support from district four supervisor katey tang, executive director of the department of ageing and adult services, shereen mcspadden, 45 letters of support and a petition of support with approximately 3 # 5 signatures. -- 395 signatures. >> the department recommends approval with conditions and beli

we spoke to ccdc and it was decided that it wasn't a good idea for that location. we withdrew it. we will not pursue it any further. we've implemented better sound control measures to make sure those upstairs tenants aren't disturbed by that club. >> thank you. >> commissioners, just following the kind of thread of the discussion. i probably would advise you not to limit the c.u. authorization to six months. then we would have -- the applicant would have to file a new authorization at the time. one thing you could consider is to add a conditional approval or look back. at that hearing, you can also revoke the conditional use authorization and then also add additional criteria and direction in terms of the types of things you want to see from staff and or other agencies for that look back hearings. you can either consider looking at a date certain type of look back knowing that they have to operate for a little while within that new hours range or look at other things and studies that you would either want to see or other agencies which we could coordinate to get that hearing at th

san francisco myself on the san francisco commission on the environment and ccdc, i'm always mindful of connecting commissions to regular citizens as the former speaker just talked about, and one thing that ike kwon has done is talked to youth particularly from the richmond neighborhood center, and that's rare to see for someone who holds important position in terms of our local infrastructure. thanks. >> supervisor safai: next speaker. >> good morning. my name's donna hood and i'm the commission secretary to the san francisco p.u.c. i'm here on behalf of ann caen who sends her regrets that she could not be here, but she sent some statements to support both nominees. i've had the pleasure of serving with commissioner kwon since his initial appointment in 2015. seat two requires a member with experience in rate pair or community advocacy. it is important to ike that he represent the diversity of san francisco in his role as a commissioner and he does so with great passion. he understands the challenges faced by san franciscans and incorporates those into his views. i thank you for you
