i think it should be defined citywide. those changes make sense to define it citywide. but i'm hoping that they can't recall being be considered citywide. i'm - we're putting a finer point on the division. i think we do the same thing for the changes of ownership in the assessors office so that's not complex. we can ask applicants whether or not they have 50 percent ownership that were so i'm for this and i'm asking the board to make this citywide and not just valley wide. so i'd move to recommended approval of this ordinance or recommend that the board approve this and making it citywide >> the supervisors office is not - her position is she's not going to incorporate it but. >> that's included in the ordinance that supervisor mar introduced on tuesday so our approach will happen. i'm fine with this it depends upon the commission whether they are supportive it in the valley i'd be supportive it citywide >> can i ask staff to clarify the recommendation. so the recommendation is with approach to the recommendation of changing the stores to 11 worldwide and to eliminate i

i think it should be defined citywide. those changes make sense to define it citywide. but i'm hoping that they can't recall being be considered citywide.

this is a citywide issue. all right. and we should get a handle on it but the fact is the first floor is not being recommended and they're coming and? the third time in a year we've had this happen and how do we stop human thank you from infamous i falling down the hill. we need to study this and find a solution to it. okay. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon supervisors i'm ben. i work in the retail destroy representing local and natural retailers. i strongly urge the planning commission to hold-off on any action to present facts that's not based on opinions or protection itching of small businesses at the expense of the shows of neighborhoods and the residents of those neighborhoods. i noticed in supervisor breeze comments she called us a retail economy and i think that's ironic that shows a lack of an understanding of what a retailer is. i think that formula retailer ownership is an incredible reach and it's going to be hard to verify the ownership stakes. it's why we have not seen this ac

it was really interesting on the school board you have to campaign citywide. and when you do it citywide you can talk about the issues by nobody confessors about the same issues. you have to do it at two levels. one you need to focus on the district issues at the same time there's a lot of special interest groups that are not focused on those issues but we're on the citywide issues. you have this tension how do you balance it so people who care about the citywide issues what makes sense to them. i made a decision citywide issues are also going to be there but if i'm going to run i have to look at the interesting issues. so i listened to people. it was early on i made the decision to start knocking on doors and asking people and say i'd like to hear about your issues. it's really difficult to do that after awhile because people asked what's our platform. i didn't have a platform i listened to people my platform was on what people are interested in >> i mentioned that citywide issues are different. >> there are many issues one of the things is counts economy in

those structural changes are best done at the citywide level and we would like them defined across the city and where's there's a demonstrate need but generally we find feel that overall it should be consistent across the city. and in addition to the proposals outlined in your packet that supervisor mar plans on introducing another ordinance. his ordinance would look at changing the definition of formula rail and increasing the geographic areas it does apply and we're interested in learning. so in the of the ideas our primary goals today we would like to have time to look at the proposals which we feel is desperately needsed the report before you is a good start and we've - amy cowen joins us here to discuss the issue today. so let's jump into our presentation we have different colleagues to decide the parts and i'm happy to introduce our intermediate and we'll do a review of some of the case laws in other cities. then my colleague will talk about the particular issues and how we're going to explore the issues and prepare a draft outline for those structural changes. so let us begin. g

i want to point out the citywide fund at the bottom is over looked at but that citywide funding is cruel when it comes to target some of the places in the city. the workforce plan for example, we may have a program like one in the mission but their serving kids from across the city and reaching into the other departments like juvenile. so the citywide services some days with not recognized as reaching the kids in our district but they are. other example is my interim went to the bay area and she came to our office everyday to work that would have been citywide funding. okay. so this the the projection of kids to be served. at any time compared to again consensus 21 data. and here again, it's american people imperfect matching but this is what we have. even when we district. this is the last question. can i turn it over to you? >> so the last question was around the summer and how do we decide. so in this slide you can see that this is similar to the last rfp in which we partnered with the school district. we wanted to simplify the application. so really it was in the spirit of trying to

our primary recommendation to hold off and the definition i definition should be citywide. but i mean, if you're going to - i think connor is right that's likely the direction our going and i do have serious issues about the ownership but that's why our remedies is split if you go ahead you make the definition citywide. i understand your point of view we disagree on that particular point >> i'm going to move to continue this item with the idea of being until wife had the opportunity to formulate our policy on formula retail and a at a point we can see if it's consistent with that policy. >> scum through the chair. our time is up for reviewing this so unless the supervisor allows this to be continued >> it's either a continuance or no for me and just letting you know. >> i have a quick could we ask for a working group that's supervisor mar and supervisor breed etc., to get this off so we have the intelligence and the for about of everybody who is interested in that. and i think we sloufl will be working with supervisor breed and what we've heard in the past on this issue she

so making changes citywide. and the final is to revise the planning control so if a business buys an operation then it would need it permit. however, it that contains the same business it doesn't need a new authorization. if a business prufrpz a new chain the department believes this recommendations will satisfy the supervisors policies. so that concludes my presentation as also i'm available for questions >> any public comment on this item. seeing none, public comment is closed >> a couple of comments on the proposed map. supervisor cowen's proposal includes the mcdonald's along the east side and we're leaving it out wouldn't it be prudent to include those in the future what happens if mcdonald's wants to stop their operations and we get another formula retail. we're not just accommodating them now i admit that mcdonald's is a formula retailer. so is it under this 96 oh, i see. it that vandyke and third >> i think it's purple. >> yeah, we would start the formula controls after it and it would contain a continua

it's not part of the citywide implementations. we this that retail has its place in the city. this is targeted to a specific community for the community. it's refinancing of the existing formula of retail ban and we felt this is a choose and this choose is one for the valley that's best for them. the whole point is to provide tailor planning codes that reflects the needs of that specific community and the valley wants this legislation on their behalf and i ask you please respect the will of the community and pass this legislation >> great. thank you very much. commissioner comments? >> i want to thank supervisor breed for bringing this up in hayes valley. it's a little hole in the lengths. and, you know, things have changed over the years since when the formula retailer planning code was brought in. we have a lot of situations that doesn't exist a number of years ago. so you know, i think that it's something we should support and i personally would like to see it good citywide at some point >> commissioner. yeah. i agree and i appreciate your explaining this clearly. it's not

every day, i'd make sure i am working both on the citywide issues and on district issues. come and experience lafayette park and enjoy the people, picnic and sunshine. this is a lovely place to take an afternoon stroll with your loved one hand in hand. located at got and sacramento street in the middle of pacific heights on top of the city's steep rolling hills, lafayette park offers a great place, peaceful beauty. comfortably spaced tables and benches, a playground, rest rooms and tips at the end of the park. plenty of flat areas for football, frisbee, and picnic. lafayette is very much a couples park. this wonderful hilltop park is the place you can share with someone you cherish. lafayette park is located along the round at the one end campus and also easy within our population there are people who simply do not have access to the internet, who do not have the means to access information the way that others have, and i think that it's really imperative for government to make sure that we play a role in closing that technological divide. so you have to strike that balanc

every day, i'd make sure i am working both on the citywide issues and on district issues. within our population there are people who simply do not have access to the internet, who do not have the means to access information the way that others have, and i think that it's really imperative for government to make sure that we play a role in closing that technological divide. so you have to strike that balance between maintaining that character, but also welcoming in the new people who bring their own -- >> absolutely. >> so i love that. i love that mix, that balance that comes with it. it's hard to strike the right balance, but -- >> it really is. >> but it's there. >> i was born in guatemala and came to this country as a kid. i was brought here by my parents. and essentially grew up in l.a. and then moved up to the bay area, where i went to college. i went to stanford. my background for the first few years out of school was a practicing attorney. i worked for -- in the private sector for a number of years and then i went and worked for the city as a deputy city attorney and

our second role is more citywide in nature and related to our mission to protect and promote the health of all san franciscans, we're maximizing enrollment into the health insurance options under the nca and i'll focus on this a little bit more. the health department has identified several key factors to the successful implementation of the aca in san francisco. the first is personal responsibility, this is not just the requirement under the individual mandate but our civic duty to ensure we step forward and enroll in health insurance. i have a friend that says everyone in san francisco was born with a participatory governance card and we need to be mindful of our role in ensuring health reform's success. we also need to be mindful of how we discuss affordability in this context, it's not to discourage people in enrolling in health insurance, we need everyone to enroll. second we need to ensure successful transitions of uninsured to health insurance, because we know who the majority of our uninsured are and how to contact them, thanks to healthy san francisco, we have several healthy sa

i also heard recently we're annoy requiring conditional usage for parking lots citywide. i knew that was around at&t park but from a couple of people have questioned when this came about and citywide and what the thinking is so i'd like to have an answer on that maybe not today but i'd like to find out. i don't remember anything coming before us. those are existing lots those are not new. from what the public is asking me over a few years they have to have their use conditioned and that's also there not conforming. at question is on design review as we read later on the port. the port d cbc has a function of design review and we know in the presidio there's a body probable part of the presidio trust we doesn't have is a design review it comes before the planning commission but oftentimes the design is pretty well put together bet it comes to us and we go through a lot of changes and i'd like to know if there's a way we could see designed be a little bit earlier in the process and get a comment because what much of what's been built there's some projects that don't look we

and it follows a recommendation by the planning department that structural issues be applied citywide. and to add in financial decisions is a part of it with small business owners as well. it expands the formula retail to apply to 11 or more outlets worldwide and it expands the definition to expand the definition of 50 percent that are owned by other retail businesses. and to include a series of retail uses that have not been included until now acquit quote adults entertainment toothbrush paraphernalia and other. the ordinance requires that for last year big box stores for example, the planning department sees the impact on others businesses in the area so it would require a report. p that would mean they need a report. and finally for retail application it requires more internet notice prior to

. >> this is a citywide meeting. >> are we in touch with other allocations. >> first of all, for the city much of the work we've done is with the airport. the airport director and i spoke with commissioners and many of our filings were done jointly. i know he's talked with some of the other airports in the state and i think another director has talked with her colleagues. i understand that los angeles has the same concerns from the taxi and airport side. there's a lot of decisions up and down the state >> so we'll see in terms of form comments. we haven't seen the comments but i think many of the taxis and airports are on the same page >> thank you. >> just a few other small things. i think i've gone behind my time limit i see the chairman looking at the clock. we had another agree town hall meeting and i want to thank the chairman of the board. we went down to one of our maintenance facilities and we had a lot of people there and we got a lot of good feedback where we're at the inn the strategic plan and getting their feedback what can help them do their jobs better. we are as we've

but i think the understanding of what the issues are and the time to unify and creating uniform citywide policy with specific criteria it's a huge piece and i'd like for a second could you considering doing the work? >> we're looking at securing an economic consultant we have a list of 3 pre-qualified consultants and we have a balance of wide issues to look at. we know that there may not be a lot of patience for to wait for the complete study. so we're going to be asking the economic consultant to slice the issue and look at it associate economic issues to look at a couple of case studies in the neighborhoods so we can compare and contrast. we want to collaborate with the other departments and i also the last piece would be looking at the and i terrific things. it's a board and ambitious plan and we're trying to get informed before the decisions are made. the only words i appreciate this dripths first year but again there's not a science to economic trends not a civil ball. it's really an open ended dialog because we're all searching for the right answers and it's not to slam the door in

effect the neighborhoods and how is the port going to try and take it's accuses from the boarder citywide forces and bring them down to the waterfront so we can uphold our trust responsibilities. and as the arena project at pier 2022 and sea lot 37 and pier 38 the efforts for the multiple projects for parks and historic preservation and basically redoing the who san francisco to make a resilient to put in sustainable infrastructure those are all efforts that the port commission needs to take on but it needs to take it's accuses from the planning commission. so the eastern neighborhoods plan in particular was an effort that the port followed on closely and it informed the planning and the further detailed work that the port do for the master plan, which is the jump off point for two private-public - public-private efforts on pier 70. i think the on come of the waterfront transportation assessment now that is mta is leading is a very integral development in terms of tying together the land use transportation planning that we can as best as possible match the capital for the developments as
