is there any additional public comment on the draft eir? >> you called my name. >> go ahead if you want to speak please line up on the screen side of the room. >> hi, i'm joyce i've lived in the neighborhood 25 years dog patch and on potrero hill plan that i've reviewed you know and hearing about for years like our neighbors seems obviously flawed when you look at the instantaneously and the citations being used 2000 data 10 years to get the completed plan and referring back to items that are 15 years old so from a took up line this project and many projects are discussed in our private and neighborhood important to tell next door we use our real names and talk about those project alison who has talked before we talk about issues we couldn't talk about so i'm extremely grateful for the hard work honestly for anyone to pick up this plan and look to the data you're referring to if it is very clear it jumps out the data is too old we've not been prepared with a picture of what our neighborhood will look like in 5 let alone 10 or 15 years. >> c

i've been on that horse for 10 years those are my major things and i hope to see the changes in the eir. >> i'll add a couple of comments to say on the question of displacement it refers to the relocation not all plans are equal can there be more criteria what's the sufficient plan and the criteria of looking at whether or not there are undue environmental reviews to moving people far away to where they currently live. >> in following up to commissioner johnson and commissioner president wu i'd like to ask about the cumulative displacement it talks about the significant number of changes bayview hunters point together with treasure island and the eir if possible addresses what those large numbers of units requires the city to admit they can't do because we don't have affordable housing leaf alone housing for dismrarmentd of people in the areas just mentioned tiled ask we start being realistic about those commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much i definitely agree i sort of add something if we're going to have the staff time to consider hunters point it's not as important known lives

resident of this block i'm not anti growth i support that but i have serious concerns with the draft eir mr. taylor from my own prospective with the lack of study of air quality that air quality study was not included i think the hazardous study needs further consideration i think there's going to be a sufficient negative impact on the environment in the neighborhood both urging the construction and afterward because of the size i've looked at the planned i agree the architect is a good architect he designed where i live the two years of construction will be create horrible and unbearable sound and air pollution in the environment and the eir did not adequately direct that i'm a professor i do my research another home 3 days a week the quality of the air and sound through my window faszs facing the site will make that impossible to work at home one the reasons i lost potrero hill there needs to be more affordable housing in the neighborhood but noors there's no indication this will be more affordable housing the onness and the air and the light the mix of small residential business and i

the revisions to the draft eir comments should be directed towards the accuracy and adequacy in the eir for the members of the public who are here at the hearing please state your name for the record and for those who are front yard if commenting in the draft by mail or e-mail they may submit in their comments on mission street in san francisco by 5:00 p.m. on february 17th when the response to the comment document is complete the planning department will provide comments to those who have commented on the draft eir we'll request certification in the eir is certified the planning department may consider the project public works and letting unless the commissioners have questions i recommend the commission on up public comment. >> before i do those persons standing in front of the doorway are going to clear the doorway and for members of the public who are here for items after this one this item will take about an hour at least and then after this item the commissioners will be taking a 20 or thirty minute break so if you're not here for this item you'll gov. an hour and a half before th

construction will be create horrible and unbearable sound and air pollution in the environment and the eir did not adequately direct that i'm a professor i do my research another home 3 days a week the quality of the air and sound through my window faszs facing the site will make that impossible to work at home one the reasons i lost potrero hill there needs to be more affordable housing in the neighborhood but noors there's no indication this will be more affordable housing the onness and the air and the light the mix of small residential business and industrial uses of the neighborhood is really an attractive thing but should be maintained to a certain degree i'm concerned once that building project begins and concluded there will be no light and air for the children and residents and businesses that are there thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is is darlene i'm the mother of two children and live two blocks from the site i'm a pediatrician and there's a lot of things i agree with folks have said issues around basically the ultimate impact of the density in the neighborhood bus partic

not only reads the eir but looks at for the file to know the project there was a lot of a.m. gut about the 5 m recorded that has multiple approvals in multiple places it wasn't an area plan and the first preservation we've had was before the eir i have been looking in the eir for who i contact who's in charge of the project that should be explicit in the eir partly because go planning is good about providing records we see get records fast in the planning department thank you sensitivity people and the bureaucracy dealing with requests missouri ed is not i have a request in for files because it is observe they're involved i'll get the answers after the first of the year because they have bureaucracies beyond belief to get files it needs to be understood the project description a often been the approval files that are not the ero files second thing is information items have to be considered on complicated cases like on c pfc and the neighborhood plan on the multiple area plans there should be information hearing not before the hearing on the eir because that's dirty pool but s

40 percent shadow on this park and 25 percent during summer most this was not mentioned in the draft eir arrest not only is the smood going to have an impact but the use of residents on the park is going to have a significant effect and while i welcome new resident to potrero hill i think it's fantastic place to live over the course but i think this project needs to add mitigation measures to either provide a reservation facility a come municipal recreation facility something that the live oak school has discussions or some other form of recreation area that can mitigate the impacts on the park the last item i'd like to talk about is the observation that hazardous materials will enter into the air there is not a way to control the hazardous materials are going to i understand up in the air in live oaks and the 10ur7bd community. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. rob with the housing coalition speaking on blood with 0 of the one hundred and 40 members i want to state this project was presented to our project review committee i believe that commissioner fong was present at the

e i s the second was on tuesday january 2015 at the complex the draft eir found significant impacts related to the following traffic delays disturbance of anger lovely and noise exposure during construction and exposure to hazardous material and something like programs for animal feces and construction impact of new utilities and service systems required to serve the system all impacts i'd like to remind did speakers this is not a hearing to consider the approval or disapproval it will focus on the adequacy and accuracy of the analysis within the draft eir comments will not be respond to in detail i'd like to request the commenters speak slowly and clearly so the transcript can be clear and it would greatly help if commenters state your name for the record so they can be properly identified in the transcript and please provide their addresses so we can inform them when the document is available after hearing comments from the public we'll - staff have not here to answer the comments the comments will be transcribed by the court reporter and this document will respond to the document

small business owner looking at the dog patch neighborhood specifically for the addressing the draft eir i'd like to taking talk about transportation the availability of public safety i notice the public safety count were taken in late june that's unfortunately, when school is out of session this doesn't accurate accurately effect that often around 8:30 in the afternoon an analysis at the peak times will show a different impact of public safety for example in the report there was a statement that said pedestrians were not on the sidewalks sidewalks adjacent to the site especially, when we have young kids who pay attention in crossing streets we need to be aware i want to ask for counts during the times as the true peak hours for the neighborhood especially in the morning and the public safety including flash walks and crossing lights that could help with public safety another those important times and similar with the talking not down in the busiest times i frequently volunteer at the school and it's hard to get parking it's difficult at the pickup times i was shocked to see the 33 hundr

we have one chance to get the eir right. we have one chance to get the planning process for this right. because of the size of this project, it is invitationly important, because of all the other things going on, it's vitally important to take, even if it's a little bit of additional time to get this part right, because this is what is going to make this project work for all of its residents. thank you. >> thank you. is there additional public comment on this item? seeing none, commissioners? commissioner moore? >> no withstanding this is an outstanding project, i want to just jump into commenting on the eir. i think the eir is very good. it's well-structured. however, i have a couple of questions, which i believe need to be elevated and it's in the area of construction impacts. with funding for a project which has large public comments i think only focusing on construction impacts over a finite timeframe of ten years is potentially danger, because as you extend it over ten years it becomes almost a generational issue that p

into the neighborhood each project has to have its own eir and better not to answer the question today. >> that will be my question i'll take it one speaker brought the point why this one has to occur and why in the past they've con formed environmentally to the area plan they don't have to have it separate 40 feet in height is the maximum height so considerations to shadow implications 40 feet and under there's a difference we have to know about that and look at that and then certainly i am supportive and wanted to make sure by analysis comments and responses if there was a change in the lay out of the project and they moved some unit around and created open space on the plan the impact is still not increased by doing that arrest so those are my main comments so far i think the elements of all the environmental analysis are present in the plan we have to make sure that the plan may evolve this analysis is still adequate it sounds like the changes i'll advocate for are those that not in active the impact i think the plan looks at pretty complete. >> commissioner moore. >> i appreciate

approval hearings will follow the final eir/eis certification. your comments today should be confined to the adequacy and accuracy of information and analysis within the draft eir/eis. the comments will be transcribed by the court reporter and responded to in the responses to comments document. this document will respond to all verbal and written comments received and make revisions to the draft eir/eis as appropriate. i would like to remind commenters to speak slowly and clearly, so that the court reporter can produce an adequate transcript of today's hearing. also commentsers should state their name and address for the record to be sent copies once it is completed. after hearing comments from the general public we'll take comments on the draft eir/eis from the planning commission. would i note that the public review process began on november 7th and will continue until 5:00 p.m. january 7, 2015. comments that are not made verbally today should be submitted in writing to the planning department. this concludes my presentation on this matter and

with no penalties so the bottom line for us is that the eir is 95 percent he complete we've felt the da felt it wouldn't be productive at this point to issue penalties when we are that close and issuing the eir next month. >> thank you. we'll be scheduling a hearing commissioner antonini. >> thank you i'd like to speak for a moment first of all, i want to wish everyone a happy new year but i want to speak about an recall in the tuesdays chronicle on the front page entitled growing controversy there are remarks they were accurate remarks of mine out of context there was a picture on the chronicle friend of mine because those remarks were placed that that article in the picture about the developments in corona heights the public were led to building my remarks were in favor of a monster home actually, i was very fortunate to be helped by staff today and given those exact information about actually tina chang set back me those renderings 1942 not one structure but 4 different structures two of which have their entrance on museum and two of which have their entrance on state street this

put that issue behind us whether an environmental planning document like the heirs element needs an eir hopefully that's settled housing element it is such a modest document it mandates nothing it requires nothing it is sort of a statement where we should be going and it's great we're here i can't tell you how strongly we feel you should get 24 moving right away it is a change if we could get one on time coloring to when they're due if we had one criticism it's 57b9 tim it i do we understand the realities of getting it approved it didn't match the challenge we face today in terms of the housing crisis and itself environmental damages we face we drastically need to look at new ways of using land and figuring out how to increase the housing production to preserve the diversity in the city the housing element is a modest step in the direction we wish it had more guidance delaying this one day serves no plausible purpose for the city i urge you to move this ahead and get it adapted and get started on solving the housing challenges thanks. >> at the. >> next speaker. >> hello there so there'

it's 37 packages and the ruling the climaxing conclusion of the judge at that time the court found the eir for the c p dash h p to the redevelopment project can't be a basis for early transfer of approval for the shipyard the court ordered that the shipyard may not receive a kick last year process until complete as safe to have development a petition is ordered to prepare a writ of mandate with the courts ruling this is dated july 8th, 2011 when the gentleman was speaking when i hear people talking about low income housing affordable housing it z do not mean housing for those who live here in san francisco who put this together m i a i rates it question by the board of supervisors because those of us who do not make or $100,000 a year but willie brown when he was mayor, i stayed if you don't make $100,000 a year you don't need to be 2, 3, 4 san francisco where everybody is going there's no square feet it was stated in the newspaper now you need to be make sure that this housing element that was done i brought a copy i said i'm not going to get you no more information i know that some of yo

i think it was a tough hearing because i find people only want to talk about their project and the eir process can be implicated and technical and by you know no means it's not our fault necessarily but i think there should be more consideration to just maybe more outreach based meetings on location we can think about what the role of having an eir process one fact they opened up the eir comments it was quite a few silent but the audience had projects this is one conversation. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further we'll move on to department matters drort. >> i wanted to let you knows you've probably read in the paper on the website we've got the perpetual for the short-term rentals legislation we are set up with the applications on line and those interested in actually participating in short-term rentals must registration and have a register number and there's detailed inform how to prove residency that's one of the core requirement the owner or renter of a unit must be the occupant of the unit in order to participate in the program we're accepting applications now and starting

i want to encourage you even if a workshop we will have the eir and if you have questions on a major phase please bring them out and it will inform the next steps that we go through. >> absolutely. i have more of a procedural question on the traffic management plan. does this commission have approval or authority over the ultimate plan or if not what impact do we have beyond the workshop or eir process? >> i'm going to ask adam from oewd. >> yes. >> just if i may to preface haze remarks through the role as the load ceqa agency there is environmental analysis in the tmp is part of that so as part of the approval actions they and mitigation measures identify responsible agencies whether it's one of these just to set the stage for the remarks. >> thank you chair rosales. director bohee. i am from the office of economic development department and we are working with the project sponsor and the city and will be included as part of the project description for the supplemental eir and address the topics that catherine addressed earlier and parking control officers and like the officers surr

ocii is considered the lead average under the contract and we will come to you with the eir and come to you in spring and into the fall of next year. because we don't have the eir and don't have the clearance we will have workshops with you because we can't take official action and we will bring back the eir certification and bring everything back at that time. so next steps going forward. we have the major phase workshop today. we're starting immediately into the schematic design and working with the cac over the next months to flush out the look of the remaining parcels including the landscaping so we will be back in front of you and the planning commission probably in the next three months to do another round of workshops where we get into the actual look of all of the buildings, not just the arena. we mentioned the draft eir released in the spring and the certification process coming back in the fall and at that time we will do the package approval process. there is also a lot of other moving pards that go along with this process. some of those going on. the park to the east is p

cpuc as with other regulatory agencies would participate in that eir process.would provide comments and that would be in my timeframe, my belief when that issue could be resolved. >> thank you. >> we're familiar with the acronyms, but if you could decipher some of those on the slides. uprr. what else is on the slide? >> hsr is high-speed rail. >> is that the only one? >> california public utilities commission is cpuc and americans with disabilities act, ada. >> a follow-up why the compatibility discussion is happening right now? >> why is the no, it happening now? >> why it's only happening now? >> the conversation as i understand it until about four or five months ago was to have the differential heights and that is what mr. dykes showed in the previous presentation as the plan put forward by the design of the new downtown transit center; which did show in the illustration that he had, that there were two dedicated platform phases. that were at a different height than what the four were for california high-speed rail. so that has been the initiation of the con

peppering tried to push for claugs collaboration rethey have their own schedule and referencing the eir will help to say that's some of the mitigation in terms of construction i saw quite a bit there i'd like to see more detail we have a sensitive receptor here in terms of schools that's abutting two different sides of the project and the rest of it as a school surrounding the projects that are surrounding this school so if we can have specifics around the conduct i know that generally comes from the project plan when you get a permit you file for our construction plan with the department of building inspection but it will be good for an impact and anything we can do all around further noise around the types of commit and all of that but if anything we can do for noise shielding those can be pointed out in the eir for this project. >> commissioner richards and it's interesting i'm sitting here and kind of here we go again one more time on the neighborhood what the effect is been i'm a neighborhood plan guy and grew up in octavia plan i'm wondering what's the difference i agree i'll come

the eir has to consider changes to the population and housing, if the rebuild will require a provision of housing units in other parts of the city? so if you need to create other units somewhere else, you have to consider that a impact to the project for population. i question -- i question the determination that that is not the case for this project. unlike alice griffith, for this project, you need to bulldoze buildings in phases and people need to move either somewhere else in the site or probably somewhere else in the city, if there is not enough empty units in other buildings. i question that given all the efforts that are being made around the city to build new units there is going to be room for the residents of complete sections of potrero hill and potrero annex and other parts of san francisco in the phases when their sections of the project are being demolished. so i would really like more description as to the relocation plan, and where those people are supposed to go? i know relocation plans are pretty complex and there is a lot of moving pieces to them, but we could at lea

i live in burr no heights i'm concerned about two things having to do with the eastern problematic eir in the news this week the opening of the ucsf hospital that has a helipad they're going to do organ transports transportation by car and also in potrero hill there is the police have the emergency bomb squad and their, of course, the event in paris where the public safety is getting you know the right people at the right place quickly and in the eir what was certified in 2008 they didn't take into account any of the emergency services and as we entitle a lot of projects near the facilities the impacts of the circulation on emergency ceqa's services is not examined the other thing the king wake this week we find out it was the hottest year on record in terms of global warming there are a number of easements it city of san francisco hold for drainage and sewer i want to insure that in project consideration that those easements are considered public and don't count towards open space that is provided by the dispensaries those are any two issues this week. >> thank you. >> thank you addit

for 25 years and i also teach high school for the last 13 years and my comment today was about the eir being presented between your department and the planning department so my comment today on this issue is that my proposal -- i've could i've asked last week to use the opportunity as they begin the process of eir to study my proposal for high school classroom inside the arena and the issues here today already -- my proposal is to deal with the positive affects of education and what this proposal can mean for our city and entire environment and again, we're talking about these last items have been about the natural resources our human interaction and relationship with the earth and environment is important so i mean for the benefit -- let me briefly read this comment my proposal on my website basically i'm asking for this study to take into consideration the classroom. i'm asking the eir to study the long-term positive social economic implications of a high school classroom that can provide san francisco and the entire bay area and diverse cross can crosscultural community as a whole a
