commissioner fung? >> commissioner fung: couple of comments, since i went there at the original hearings. i reviewed what was discussed, and if you abstract out the issues, especially those that are still brought up today that are remaining, it really reflects on what they want is a change in the zoning there. the question of whether it's designed for the height these days, with the density bonus, these tall buildings are going to be the norm. with new york exceeding the existing height building based on that bonus, you're going to get tall buildings. it reminds me of when i lived in new york, and you know, it was six-story walk-ups everywhere, especially in the poorer areas. but the questions that are still coming up today as an example, some technical questions whether it's the underwater streams -- and this is not the only area that had that. i mean, geary has that, also, so it's a question for building, and in terms of the structural designs to accommodate that in the water treatment design. but the

commissioners? commissioner hillis? >> commissioner hillis: i know we're not -- we don't necessarily vote on this, but i think it's a great piece. thank you, miss keen, for showing it to us. i kind of like the fact that it's referencing back what we've seen on buildings on market street, so thank you. >> vice president koppel: just another couple comments. definitely supportive of this piece. being an electrician, we're at home on a ladder, and we don't very often see ladders that are lit up, so i think it's going to look great. thank you. >> clerk: seeing nothing further, commissioners, we can move on to item 11, senate act 330 of 2019, informational presentation. >> general jonas, i have a cou handouts for the commissioners. >> all right. good afternoon, commissioners. my name is jacob bent live -- bentliff, planning department staff. we're here on a presentation of senate bill 330, the bill is titled the housing crisis act of 2019. the bill was introduced by s a senator nancy skinner of berkeley. in may, it went on t

>> commissioner hillis? >> can i ask the architecture -- can i ask the architect? i am not seeing it the same way that you are, commissioner richards. there is a separate entrance. it is kind of built into the ground floor. can you show the floorplan floor plan at the garage level? >> overhead? >> pull over the microphone. >> just to give you the layout a more detail, the entrance to the main house comes from the extra stair. the entrance to the a.d.u. is through a gate here. it is a private space for the entry. this entire wall is kitchen. this glass -- this bath is a full bath with the window and the walk-in closet. >> what -- what's behind it? >> at this -- at that point, you're 10 feet below grade. we have a light well we are using. i think it is really important. for 11 years, i have lived in north beach. it had windows on three sides, which gives you a sense of autonomy. when we do a second unit, that is the key to making it livable. >> i get it is not huge, but i don't see this as a real great way to

>> yes. >> a commissioner laguaan a? >> yes. >> a commissioner ortiz? >> commissioner riley. >> commissioner zouzounis? >> motion passes 6-0 with one absent. item six, approval of draft meeting minutes, action item. >> has everybody read over the minutes from june 10 meeting? do we have any comments? if not, does any member of the public like to make a comment on the june 10 meeting? seeing none, public comment is closed. do we want to have a voice vote. everybody approve of the commission minutes? say aye. >> we need a motion. >> i move to approve the minutes from june 10. >> i have to abstain. i wasn't there. >> we have a second? >> so before we take the motion, then, if commissioner laguana is needing to -- is not abstained, but recused. you need to ask for recusal from the vote. first. >> who do i ask? >> do you want to recuse -- you don't need to. if you don't miss -- >> if i don't need to recuse, we won't bother. >> okay. i made my motion. >> do we have a second? >> an i'll second. >> all in favor? aye. any no's? motion passes. >> item 7, director

commissioner richards? >> i am going to be a little bit crowd because we have been here since 11:00 a.m. seeing this every week is starting to get old, to be honest with you. it seems like every week we have some type of shenanigans that go on. we have illegal demos, we have evicting tenants through rent evictions, admitted by the developer, stuff that was submitted, demos that were done without approval, permits weren't that -- obtained, by a project sponsor who, actually, i really respected when he did the project on franklin street, who i think should really have known better. i truly believe that this commission is one of the last bastions of public trust. the citizens of san francisco can come here and feel like they've actually really been heard and we process what they say. we may not always agree with them, but we come down on the right side of things, and i think this is no different from what we did on 214 and 60 -- 65 alvarado. you see the list is getting longer and longer and longer. in terms of

>> good evening, commissioners. my wife and i brought -- bought the place in 2017 out of necessity because my wife worked in san francisco. after four years living there, we do love the place and we intended to rent out units after construction. we actually do like the location because of the convenience. at the time we were living there , i do not own a car, so we proposed not to have a garage. we do like the neighborhood because the convenience for groceries and also other amenities. as well as the neighborhood. my two daughters would like to go there for school. lastly, we would like to build the structure where we would -- [indiscernible] we are also striving for a rating for the building. along with the architect, we chose to do a study to the building itself to enhance the neighborhood. i guess we would like to request your commission to approve the project. thank you. >> thank you. now we will open this up to the public. are there any members of the public would like to comment? come on up. >> hello, my name

commissioner anderson? >> commissioner anderson: hello, everyone. i want to thank everybody for coming out, and i also want to acknowledge those who can't make it. i understand how difficult it is, and i want you to know that i have read the materials. we've gotten myriad of emails and reports, comments, and videos, and i hear you, so i went out to the park last week and i walked around, and first i want to thank and commend the community that helps rec and park take care of that space. i noticed the dog poop buckets and extra baggies, the signs about foxtails. clearly, the individual users are not a problem. the dog walkers are very professional. i just want to preface that i read the noise ordinances, too. that's one of the reasons why i as chair of the operations committee requested a start time of 7:00 a.m., because that's sort of when the noise ordinance says, okay, it's not quiet time anymore, we can start getting busy. that's how i came up with 7:00 a.m. we came up with 7:00 a.m. it wasn't arbitrary. in the beginning of the noise ordinance, i

commissioners? >> commissioner low. >> maybe my math is off. $247,000 for a change order, but $140,000 was that back -- from supervisor mandelman's office, so isn't there a gap there? >> yes, that's a good question. the -- the gap has actually been funded through some procedural general fund capital funds that we have so we're supplementing these efforts on our side also to make that whole. >> okay. >> sarah, did you want to weigh-in on that. >> yeah, just to clarify, this was -- the community really wanted to see these -- what would you call them? almost statues retained, and so we worked with the supervisor's office to say if you come up with half of the money, we'll come up with half of the money. >> okay. seeing no other questions, commissioners? >> i would like to move for approval. this is actually a park that i grew up in. my mother referred to me as a park rat. i am a nonnative species. i move to approve. >> it's been moved by the park rat and seconded by commissioner anderson. all in favor?

commissioner cleaveland. . >> comm. cleaveland: i would to respond to commissioner alioto veronese, of course it is a crime they are out there and they are resting, it's not been for lack of interest on this commission. i assure you of that. we have made contact with several city departments to see if there was a location that they could be housed. even when we find locations, we do not have the money, in the department budget, to pay the rent. we cannot get free housing. we were lucky enough to have the academy of art provide us a location for many of these historic rigs, for a number of years for free. we were very thankful for that. they eventually needed their space back. we got pushed out, basically we have homeless rigs. okay? we have asked the parks department, we have asked the port, we have asked dpw, we have asked puc. do you have space? well, if they come up with space, they have a dollar attached to it. where are the funds going to come from? aren't we supposed to be fundraisers here as commissioners? i mean

commissioners? commissioner john? >> commissioner johnson: thank you. thank you to staff for the presentation, and thank you, thank you, thank you to all the speakers who spoke on this plan. you know, i think this department and we have had robust conversations around racial injustices. i remember there was one project that was brave enough to have a racial injustice analysis and then we haven't had any hearings since then. i think when we're going to have information about one of the largest projects that we're going to see, it's crucial that we -- that it's not kind of just a slight of what our community plan is but that we're really implementing the goals of the department and bringing that racial justice and equity analysis forward, and i know that there is a department that we're going to have. not many speakers spoke up, but i think we need to have a tool that we name that we're at least having those conversations and that there are things that we can do now to begin to explore those issues. the other thing that i would say is i just really apprec

kudos to mayor breed for our newest commissioner, commissioner brackett. we knew you were going to be pushing for answers and information for us to make sure in the words of mayor that no one gets up to behind. thank you and welcome. doctor scott is right. the chase center training represents something we sought to do as we saw percentages brought. when we were having conversations ten years ago, during the redevelopment era. the unemployment rate hit 10.1% in january of 2010. 40,000 men and women, citywide looking for work but not working. and then our low income community our rates were more like 30-40% of unemployment. looking here today, unemployment just hit for the first time in the city's history three weeks ago hit 1.9% unemployment. it's the first time in the history of the city that we are under 2%. that 45,000 number is now 11,000 approximately. 11,000 men and women out there looking for work. i think we all agree, no one left behind because we still know in are southeast neighborhoods in fillmore, mission, lakeview, we have to make sure to tell

commissioner black? >> yes. >> a commissioner johns? >> yes. >> a commissioner pearlman? >> yes. >> commissioner wolfram? >> yes. >> commissioner matsuda. >> yes. >> commissioner president hyland. >> congratulations. that passes unanimously 6-0. >> that will place us on item 8, 2018-009197coa with a certificate of appropriateness. >> good afternoon, commissioners. shannon ferguson, department staff. the item before you today is a request for certificate of appropriateness for the property at 1470-1474 mcalester street. the property was constructed in 2016 and is located in the alamo square historic district. the proposed project seats to legalize work that exceeded and/or differed from plans by the historic preservation commission in 2012 and also proposes several additional scopes of work. the arc reviewed and commented on this project on march 6, 2019. a summary of work that exceeded or differed from the h.p.c. approval in 2012 includes the front facade bay windows. as approved by the h.p.c., the square projecting base were to have windows that wrapped around the buildi

commissioners comment? >> i have one quick question: the commission has the obligation to do an annual review, i believe, of two employees, correct, the chief and one of the doctors? >> the doctors' physicians' office. >> and when do the reviews come up? >> i believe those are the only two. >> and the commission secretary. >> right. there is an annual calendar that usually occurs in the commission secretary -- i'm not sure about the physician, but there is an annual basis we work off of. >> as far as the chief's appraisal went, it was always started through the mayor's office and d.p.h. they would send out the forms to get that started. >> and do all three of them happen at the same time? >> no. >> no. >> no? >> in terms of the commission, except for the chief. >> and in terms of the commission secretary, i think it was the last -- i believe the last time was in review of the past president at that time. at that time, i believe commissioner cleveland was president of the commission, and we agreed upon that

commissioner moore? >> i read an interesting article in the journal speaking about demolition versus deconstruction in the city of palo alto. they have joined or taken the example from portland where the demolition of homes is not just simply a demolition anymore, but it is a systematic destruction of the structure to reuse, recycle, and alleviate excessive landfill due to demolition. this particular piece of legislation is going to affect how -- going to be in effect in palo alto in 2020 and affect commercial and residential buildings. it would be a very interesting thing for this city to look into and also consider. there are costs associated with it, but that is secondary to the benefit of what this program could achieve. i will hand it handed around for people to read. >> thank you. i also wanted to say that while i was on vacation, my e-mail got hacked. if you got an e-mail from me asking you to purchase amazon cards or whatever, it wasn't from me and i apologize. >> if there's nothing further, we c

>> that's correct. >> commissioner fewer: okay. so -- and then you have here today with you someone that can respond. so actually i think what supervisor mandelman asked last week was about a cost analysis. so if we build these canopies over the escalators i think and i think during our meetings we have heard that the purpose of these canopies, one, is that it is required by state ordinance -- >> state code. >> commissioner fewer: state code. so we must have the canopies in accordance with state code, so they're required. we -- the reason we're doing this is because also wear and tear on the escalators, also to prohibit feces from getting stuck in the escalators and whether -- all that kind of stuff; is that correct? >> yes, that's correct. >> commissioner fewer: so we know what we're getting. and i think what you may not have mentioned which i got during your briefing and i wanted to share with my colleagues is that the 19th street bart station design over in oakland is a different design than what the city and county requested be

so i -- do you have a question to commissioner mccarthy, and then we will allow for the rest of the commissioners to ask clarifications. my one question was: i was a little confused by the staff presentation packet that came to us before this meeting. before this meeting, there was an item of dry-rot removal that would trigger the definition of demolition. i read the legislation, and i did not see that in there. can you clarify where that came from? is that related to the contacts? >> we will be covering that in the demolition section of the presentation. if you don't mind waiting until we go over that slide. >> chairwoman: no problem. >> we do cover that in the demolition section. >> chairwoman: thank you. >> so we're going to come back and ask questions on the second phase of the presentation. >> chairwoman: they may have been answered during that presentation. >> mr. reardon, i have a few questions for you. thank you. so if we could go back to the slide -- i kind of just want to walk through it to make sure i have a really good understanding, particularly to the blind wall section of the prese

commissioner johnson? >> commissioner johnson: thank you. so i think that it's often in the best interest of -- of formula re-taylor any type of retail to really engage the neighborhood. those are your customers, they're your community members, and the way you feel that people moving in and around your space is the reason they won't or will continue to move around your establishment. i was really heartened by the note that we did get from the supervisor's office. the issues from the larger plaza have come up with them, and they have tried to be and continued to be active and engaging the plaza as a whole and some of the issues that the neighborhood have addressed. at the same time, from our position of where we sit around this particular issue, i do think from a land use perspective, it is a good use. i just want to echo commission commissioner koppel's comments that i have been in that space, and it's such a small space. i encourage you to continue to work with the supervisor's office and with that, i move to approve. >> vice president kopp

a commissioner laguana. >> commissioner ortiz-cartagena.ommissioner riley is absent. commissioner zouzounis is running late. >> mr. president, you have a quorum. >> item two. >> u a general public comment allows members of the public to comment on matters within the small business commission's jurisdiction but not on today's calendar and suggest new agenda items for the commission's future considerations. discussion item. >> do we have any members of the public who would like to comment on any item not on today's agenda? okay, seeing none, public comment is closed. next item please. >> item 3, approval of legacy business ap rications and resolutions. discussion and action item. the presenter is richard kuyylo, legacy business program manager, office of small business. >> u a welcome. >> good afternoon, president adams, commissioner, office of small business staff. richard kurylo, legacy business program manager. sfgov tv, i have a power point presentation. for your today are six applications for legacy business registry. the applications we

>> good afternoon, commissione commissioners, test melbourne. i would like to support the comments previously about the loss of controlled housing units in rent controlled housing stock. $40 million. i have heard the mayor's office say a million dollars a unit to build the affordable housing maybe $900,000. 40 units. if it was only $500,000, that would be 80 units. i object to the secrecy around the negotiations and the internal workings of the university there. again, mcdonald's makes money from actually land leasing. they buy the land and then they get a tenant to be a franchisee. it looks like the aau is in the same boat as the people who own the university on the one hand through various llcs own the sites that in the future they can choose to sell off in different ways. they are not owned by the university. there has to be more scrutiny there. it is not a compact campus. i agree it moves in the right direction, but as long as they are allowed to remain spread all over the map the way they are now and the way things have been going, we are j

thank you. >> thank you, commissioner and commissioner stefani. and ohio, senior planner with the transportation authority. diving in here, lombard crooked street is a familiar, iconic piece of san francisco. i don't think i need to tell anybody here that, but as commissioner stefani mentioned, a large number of visitors impact the quality of life for neighborhood residents and the experience or visitors that come to see our city. the t.a. has been tackling this problem for a few years now. the community working group was really the kickoff of the latest round of options we are considering that happened way back in 2,000. in 2014, the sfmta let a pilot to lead the crooked streets, but it really squeezes the balloon essentially. there's a lot of people circling , looking for parking, people setting up picnics on the crooked street itself, which is the only way thinking get to and from their homes. then commissioner farrell atha transportation authority in 2017 to complete a holistic look at those options that had surfaced in the 2,000 study as well

commissioner collins? >> i just wanted to know if it's something available for community members on board docs, if it's something we can have arranged? >> president cook: yes. >> and shameless plug for our website, we always post everything on our website afterwards, as well. >> and on our facebook page. >> president cook: vice president sanchez. >> vice president sanchez: thank you. just remind us when your next meeting is. >> this thursday. 1663 mission street, and our meeting is assistive technology, and then, we'll meet again in september on the -- or sorry -- august, august 22, the first week of school, in case you all aren't busy again. >> vice president sanchez: what time? >> the meeting starts at 6:00. we have a coffee chat beforehand, so if parents need to talk with committee members in a less public forum, they can do that, and then, we start the meeting or education at 6:30. >> vice president sanchez: if i don't see that, i'll see you in august. thank you. >> president cook: any other public com
