what is before you today is the edge drafteir -- the draft eir. we look forward to your feedback and continuing to work with your staff. they have been exceptional throughout this process. i would like to point out that we have -- required to study a variety of alternatives, but the plan has not changed. i think there has been some confusion as it pertains to the dog play areas and wanted to clarify that. >> thank you. >> i'm the chair of the san francisco dog owners group. urban parks are for people. there are collective backyards were good to play with kids and simply sit in the sun. we have so little open space we cannot afford to lock a third of the way in plant museums where you can look but not enter, which is what the restoration alternatives would do. we support the maintenance for maximum recreation alternatives because it protect existing areas for people. the -- they are actually 29, which covers about 120 acres total. 80% of the total is located within or adjacent to a natural arianna and is at risk for closure. many were designated ye

this eir is not a good one and it's a bad policy for the city. with the environmental destruction, the use of toxic spray, i walk on 20 almost every day more morning and i do the sprain of -- them there -- the members that should be wearing respirators. what i point this out to them, they say it's not of your business. it is important that you realize this eir is not the direction we should be going into. we should be going into maximum eight months. it also decides the number of trees is a gross violation and a san francisco has barely 13 per citizen in this city. this proposes to turn down a large percentage of that. thank you very much. president olague: any additional public comment on this item? >> i agree with my husband that the maintenance alternative would be the best way for san francisco to go. [tone] >> i am a user of these parks and i feel recreational funding and open space for people is being hijacked by this plan. san francisco has taken extreme positions of excluding people from the san francisco watershed. it is surrounded by 7

and the adoption of the final eir is anticipated next fall. we're already working on the 30% design in cooperation with sfmta. it looks as though this project is now ranked as the highest priority nationally for federal small starts. it can be a reality. not very far behind it is the geary project eir which is now going through the same stages as the van ness one. we're now in the throes of during the capacity modeling that needs to be done on these projects. four different alternatives. not that different from van ness. that project has a number of additional challenges, in particular the intersections of fillmore and masonic, which of course is under the other street and generate some challenges and some opportunities. i will continue to keep you posted on progress on that project. we have also been making significant progress on the state of the sentences the transportation plan. this is our 30-year look at transportation needs. it feeds right into the regional efforts on the regional transportation plan. and we completed the first phase of

preparation of an eir is not warranted. in one process-related issue is the circulation of the pmnd. the department circulated it for a 20-day review period, consistent with the ceqa requirements. the project is not a statewide, regional, or area significance as defined by ceqa, therefore it did not require a 30-day review period or circulation to the state agencies cited by the appellants. the second process-related issue is compliance with ceqa prior to project approval, which the city did. initially, in july of 2010, the department determined that the product was exempt from ceqa and issued a certificate of determination of exemption. the department found that the proposed change of use with minor alterations, the building would not result in any significant environmental impact. at that time, their policy was not required pursuant to the district ceqa guidelines that were in a factory that the assumption determination was appropriately issue. after the department issued the exemption determination, members of the public

this project did not hear -- an eir would be required for the subdivision. ceqa offers a general exclusion that says if there is no potential for significant effects on the environment, then they can be excluded from ceqa review. president chiu: the suggestion that if you have a slow > 20%, that is a major alteration. that does not mean anything to you. >> the reason that class 15 was not used is there is a presumption of development associated with that class. we have no the bomb a proposal before us, as there was in 1998. it would be purely speculative to assume some sort of development. there is nothing at this point. president chiu: let me address something that was just raised. you are saying that you do not see any environmental impact as a result of this subdivision. we just heard testimony from the geothermal experts to suggest that if we subdivide this, the stability of one lot depends on the other and that it are interlinked. if we were to take those facts as true, he does that not create issues from your perspective with regard to environmental re

and that requires an eir. moreover, what the -- i will reserve that argument. i have not had an opportunity to -- i know that the department came out with a response to some of these issues we raised today. i have not had an opportunity to review it thoroughly. but i understand that the argument is the city is not committed to the project. and i'd just do not sent see how a $4.4 million loan over a period of 55 years is anything less than a commitment to the project. i would also point out that the notice of exemption, while the department may believe there is evidence that this is a case that does not require a- declaration, i would like to point out that that flies in the face that this is a the mitigated neg dec. it is the notice of exemption that is referred to as the -- it has no practical implication or it does not shed any light on the necessity of the mitigated neg dec. unless the supervisors have any questions, i will move on to highlight the arguments in the conditional use. first, the commission improperly authorized the conditional use before the bo

we have submitted the draft staff legal eir eis. i believe yesterday there was a letter submitted by n reiskin supporting the contents of the document. it further enhances the chances of the project getting an expedited review by the ta and further support. a schedule right now for the public draft eir/eis to be circulated in mid-october. we're looking forward to hear public comment at that point. we are preparing in coordination with the mta, materials, for the moment in the report is released, to get comments, and of course, we fully expect to be able to address those in the comment period. we will make a more formal presentation of the findings to the public draft to the authority board and committees during the public circulation period. the other important thing, we met with caltrans. we got the ok on the feasibility on the brt project on van ness. that clears the way of sorting through the final design exception with them. as you recall, van ness avenue is a state group. that is another major milestone. unfortunately, i had to
