the eir finds this to be a significant plan level and cumulative plan use impact. plan development would result in adverse change in the significance of historical resources and defined in thified lines 15064.5. for transportation and circulation, central soma plan development including the proposed open space it proves results in significant plan level and qume ra live plan impact. central soma plan development including the open space improvements and street network changes result in cross walk overcrowding. sen tra soma plan development results in plan level and commercial and passenger load impact. construction activity including the proposed open space improvements would result in substantial interference with pedestrian bicycle or vehicular circulation and results in potentially hazardous condition. construction activities including the proposed street network changes and open space improvements result in a temporary increase in noise level. for air quality the operation of subsequent projects in the central soma plan area would violate air quality standard,

we've done -- we've put seven years into studying the plan, making eir. we know the impact of what this -- of what building the housing will be so there's no reason to drag it through more hearings. so i urge you to also approve the hst. and unfortunately, commissioner richards walked out of the room, but i want to point out, when he went to sacramento to oppose sb 827, because he says he believes in strong local control. well, i want -- i want you to hear that the local control in soma is speaking with a united voice to say we need more housing. everyone who's got a problem with central soma, it's not because of the jobs, it's not because of the up zoning, it's because there's not enough housing. so hear us, and in the future, local control, if you truly want it, means building more housing faster. thanks. >> president hillis: thank you. next speaker, please, and i'll call some additional names.

so under the eir, it says unavoidable impact. historic resources are going to be altered and demolished. is that a canned sponsor do we know historic resources that are slated for destruction? i have to vote on a statement of overriding considerations. >> i worked on the historic resource component for the eir. the plan does identify the historic resources that are located within the eir and does identify an impact statement that basically acknowledges that historic resources would be impacted by the development that's occurring within the eir. so it's not necessarily specific or project specific to specific resources, but it's basically assuming that on the whole, historic resource impacts could occur. >> commissioner richards: sure. so when we did mark and octavia, we did -- we looked at what was historic controls and we downsized that so there was no pressure there. is any of that happening there? >> our strategy around the historic resource has always been to identify the most historic ones and then bring them forward as land

and finally, the central soma eir -- plan eir has done extensive analysis of impacts of future growth under the proposed zoning and height changes, and has identified specific mitigation measures. so a local ordinance would meet -- would bring us into -- would meet all requirements of ab 73. it would define the central soma hsd geography as all parcels within the central soma s.u.d., which is that same boundary of the area plan, and then, it will add some local eligibility criteria so we can tailor the hsd to our local context. and finally, it'll specifically a design, review, approval and enforcement processes. so the first main criteria that our local ordinance will add is to limit the size of projects able to participate in the hsd and receive ministerial approval. so as currently drafted, projects with a height over 160 feet would not be eligible for ministerial approval, so they would still be required to go through our project kind of standard review and entitle project. an exception is 100% affordable project, so that type of project of any height would be potentially eligible
