the draft eir is. [ inaudible ] it relies on sb-743, but the draft eir concludes that the plan will increase employer miles in vehicles travel from 8.7. traffic engineer dan smith attached to our letter concludes that the plan will result in unacceptable breakdowns of traffic delay at ten out of eleven freeway ramps and dozens of intersections. the draf eir also assumed zero traffic from the uber and lyft ride share services, and while the san francisco county transportation authority has indicated that 25% of soma traffic is from uber and lyft, so the eir is underestimating traffic by at least 25%. this analysis is clearly erroneous and misleading, and the draft eir must be recirculated to analyze those significant traffic impacts and to propose mitigation and alternatives. on air quality, the san francisco department of public health has determined central soma has among the worst air quality in the city. asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease hospitalizations are twice as high in soma than the rest of the city. and almost the entire plan area is in an air pollution exposure zone

with the eir. one use of the eastern eir, although one use -- [ inaudible ] -- whereas the other use hasn't, so planning -- environmental planning group has evaluated whether there are new environmental facts in the uses and if there are change, and have recently found the developmental approvals are still in the big picture of environmental analysis. >> i think the court agreed on that. so the question could be, mr. wertheim, the question, then, could be if ten years down the line if this gets adopted or for some reasons buildings aren't getting built, we could title this the second act like we did in eastern neighborhoods. the answer is we did, right? we -- [ inaudible ] >> the right, there was less commercial -- >> i think commissioner, though, in this case, we have -- i mean, what happened in the eastern neighborhoods is that much of the housing -- much of the office that was anticipated in eir did not happen, okay? s >> that was my point. in the case if we have 7 million that's already in the

please note that the public hearing on the eir is closed. the public comment period for the draft eir ended on january 16, 2018. public comment will be received at this time; however comments submitted may not be included in the final eir. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm judy pulling from the environment and chapter 31 of the administrative code. that concludes my presentation, and i'm available for questions. thank you. >> president hillis: all right. thank you. we'll open this up to public comment. i've got two speaker cards, mr. nolte and mr. nolte again, but if others would like to speak, please lineup on the screen side of the room. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is john nolte, and i am a cofounder of tender association coalition of san francisco, and this site is being developed for a t.i.c. building at the location. it's currently a tire store, and i think that the -- the -- again, there was talk about the environmental impact report. the issues of the dirt and so forth from a tire location over the years, and the oth

i'm here today because this is the stuff right before the eir. i am here to support supervisor cohen's request that a high density 5,000 unit version of this project be studied in the eir. as some of the other commenters mentioned, this is a city-wide issue. what happens at the balboa reservoir affects everybody. in particular, i want to talk about the relationship between the housing at the reservoir and the central soma plan. the central soma plan has many more jobs planned than housing units. two years ago, one of the founding members asked planning to study a version of central soma plan that had a one-to-one jobs to housing balance or something closer to that. they didn't. now now here we are two years later, and supervisors, i think, probably feel like they wish they could approve a more balanced version of that plan, but they can't because it wasn't studied two years ago. so when we're planning ahead, we should really plan ahead. so i'm really, really excited that a high-density version will be studied, especially because in two years, the

there is a -- certainly a responsible agency relationship in ceqa for eir's and negative declarations, but i don't believe that that also carries forward for exemptions. but in any event, the action before you is on the license approval and not the underlying sewer's replacement that the city of south san francisco would be performing in the right-of-way under the license. i think that will make sense to some ceqa people, and it may be lost on the rest of the room. thanks. >> okay. can we have irena come up and address that question? >> commissioners, good to see you. it's been a long time. irena torrey, manager of the bureau of environmental management. we routinely depend on other agencies' ceqa determinations when the project is in their jurisdiction. even though we're taking an action, this is the ceqa procedure we prepare responsible agency findings based on the findings of the jurisdiction. so this is routinely done for projects that are possibly on our right-of-way, where we have an action, a responsible action, and we do not prepare separate ceqa documents for these actions. s

muni pursued a 10-year process which resulted in an eir, saying there are bricks that might fall from this brick structure. and therefore someone might get hurt, so the buildings have to be demolished. we persuaded them, or explained to them at historic preservation advisory committee that we could repair the bricks and the building wouldn't fall apart and it wouldn't hurt anybody. and we could use it for a community center. it took until january of 1999, when mayor brown issued an order to muni to stop their efforts. and work with us to fix the building. in 2001, this being san francisco, muni proposed and carried out a neighborhood celebration for the 100th anniversary of the geneva car barn. so in 2002, the nonprofit friends of the geneva office building and power house was formed. in 2003, we partnered with rec park informally, because rec park didn't own the building then. we worked with the two agencies a little bit. and muni readily agreed to give it up for $1. so it was a bargain.
