versus ground floor, fifth versus ground floor, very different. i'm not sure, maybe you can help me. but 100 hooper is not a good example, i think it was concocted to make sure there was p.d.s. space, so somewhat subsidized in the effort in the entire project. i don't think it's a true comp example. i'm support of this, and i think it has gone through the hoops so many different times and i think there's been effort to keep the tenant in place. 20 years is quite a commitment, i think. and who knows where things will be in 20 years. so, i'm supportive of the project. >> president hillis: is that a motion? >> that is a motion, yeah. >> president hillis: second? >> very good, commissioners. a motion seconded to approve this matter with conditions on that motion. [roll call vote taken] >> i believe we have not finished the conversation on the rental rate here. i want to hear the community, i want to promote the fact and support the fact that we want mission bay p.d.r. in there, i would like to have a little bit more background on the number, i support

then sliding down, essentially, putting a new third floor in, inserting a fourth floor, adding a light steel frame on top of the building. and you can see in blue what we're keeping, the exterior facade, the two basement -- or basement and first-fluorstory. here's the existing facade. here's the proposed facade. in elevation, unfortunately, it appears that the penthouse is very prominent. it's much less prominent than it appears, so you look on the streetscape, it virtually disappears, you can barely see it from the intersections down the street. you can't see it from across the street. just real quickly, you can see very generous lobby, retail interest that will bring pedestrian interest from the street with the display area in the back, in the basement, and on the second floor, with vertical circulation and a light well that brings light down into the basement to connect those three floors. the third, fourth, and fifth floors will be income producing property for the museum. here we are on the ground floor, showing the renovated existing windows, now windows on the second floor to re

that's the main floor. as you can see the kitchen, living room, and a bedroom, and this is the new den, but this stair doesn't go up anymore. >> president hillis: okay. got it. >> so what happens is you see this other scare case right here back, this goes up to the roof, and it also goes down to the lower level, which we have. oh, it went out. >> president hillis: i don't know what happened there. oh, so the back staircase, you need to get up to the next floor. >> correct. the back staircase connects the rooms in the back. there we go. if i can get it in there. there's your back staircase. it's on the ground floor, and it connects the first and second floor, too. [inaudible] >> president hillis: right, okay. i mean, i -- generally, the board -- kind of commissioner richards, although i think the project sponsor didn't necessarily request it, are we doing it kind of for nobody's benefit. it's a feature that the property owners want. i don't think it's something that's being asked for. as a matter of fact, th

fourth floor with roof deck access at the roof and fourth floor levels. the existing footprint of the building would not be expanded. this project sponsor did significantly revise the exterior design based on the feedback from the commission and concerns brought up by the neighbors at the prior public hearing regarding the prior contrary design. the newly proposed design reduces glazing from 40% of the exterior shell to 26 with proportions to better relate to the finestrations of the upper site, and it proposes to change the original cast concrete ridge face to a kol too sooned brick finish to soften the pedestrian experience of the building. the residential design advisory team reviewed the revised proposal and found the design to be compatible in design to the surrounding neighborhood. rdat noted that the windows are compatible in size, scale, and proportion with the surrounding buildings. the context exhibits restrained building articulation that is typically focused on window detailing and a delainiation of the entry and base and that this design arti

to the top of the third floor, set back the fourth floor an additional 2 feet from the property line, maintain the 2 feet indentation which is previously in the design. this was previously agreed to by the sponsor. we ask that the fourth floor set back by 20 feet -- >> clerk: ma'am, your time is up. you will have a two-minute rebuttal. >> okay. so i have copies of the ask if you'd like to see that. >> vice president melgar: thank you. we will now hear from d.r. requester number two. [please stand by] >> this proposed project is a monologue. it does not compliment surrounding homes. it does not respect the hillside on which is built. it is out of character of the neighboring homes north and west. it takes advantage of the hillside by barely meeting the code requirements in front. you heard that it's 40 feet. that's not measured from the rear. as it goes down this very steep hill, it gets bigger and bigger and bigger until it completely towers over the homes to the west and homes to the north. just like it is high-rise in the middle of downtown. such a big high-rise, that would be appr

so many have been coming down to the floor. tributes on the senate floor and in the newspapers across the country have been inspiring and they have been true. talking about a man of courage, a steadfast patriot. an american hero. a warrior of the indomitable spirit who not only believed in american exceptionalism but expired -- but inspired millions of americans and millions of people across the globe to believe in it as well. listened,watched and sometimes i have started to wonder what more is there to ask? there has been a lot said. especially from a freshman senator who has not served with john knew the as long as most in this chamber. taught us john mccain anything, it was to speak and you feel compelled to speak. when it comes to him, i certainly feel compelled to speak. particularly as a newer member of this body who thought the world of this man and learned so much from him. john mccain was a leader, there is no arguing about that. one of the qualities of leadership that is so important -- sometimes gets overlooked that

initially a concern because it was six floors. the proposal you have in front of you today reflects a five-story building. the retail space, ceiling heights. when we started out, we had 14-foot-high ceilings. speaking with our partners and community members, butcher town, b.m.a. and the supervisor's office, there was a request that the ceiling heights be made taller in part to allow for greater transparency and what we hope will be a more attractive retail space, which means that hopefully it will lease faster and bring much-needed neighborhood retail amenities to our community. parking. as you all know, parking is an issue almost anywhere you go in the city and our neighbors were concerned with the increased tenancy at the site. it is also terminal and the restroom located there. how we have managed to mitigate that, we started with 20% parking ratio and ended up with a 50% parking ratio. separately, we're in conversations with sfmta in regards to moving the terminal and the restroom. so we think that will all be positive things.

active ground floor there, too. you can look in the p.d.r., and that's useful, usable p.d.r. space. applaud you on the design. a great project. >> i'm sorry, i did not hear a second. >> i did. >> commissioners, a motion that has been seconded to approve this matter with conditions on that motion. [roll call vote taken] >> clerk: motion passes 6-0 unanimously. place us on items 18a and b for 2018-000497cua, at 350 second street. >> good afternoon, commissioners. planning department staff. item before you a request for a conditional use authorization pursuant to code 303 and 842.49, and large project authorization 329 to allow the new construction of a tourist hotel building with the ground floor restaurant and bar within the mixed use office zoning district. the proposed project includes new construction of a 14th story with a seven story podium, 130 foot tall tourist hotel building, 2,975 square feet. 297 guest rooms, 11 class one bicycle parking spaces and 15 class two bicycle parking spaces. also, measuring approx

but here's the floor plan. and this is a way to get to see the whole floor. there's seven units per floor. but this is the area in question where we have the elevator core right here opposite the main stair core and the elevator's add -- add jay sent to a light court right here. in order to increase the size of the hoistway and shaft, we would have to displace 10 tenants for well over a year to do the demolition of the existing concrete frame of the building. and that would take jackhammering that concrete frame out. of the building. and set a new foundation under the hoistway as well as upgrading the structure to the roof for the new mechanical room up there. the elevator itself is probably $500,000 itself. the structural upgrades and other half a million. another $250,000 probably just in life safety upgrades to get the elevator and the building life safety systems to communicate with each other. and then we've got permit fees. that is over 12k4rr.2 million just to replace the shaft and put it in a new elevator. divide that by 39 tenants. that is over $39,0

i yield the floor. >> mr. president, i look across the senate, see our colleague senator mccain's desk, silent, draped in black, under a vase of white roses and it's breaking my heart. i'm here to say my farewell and i have a bit of a predicament, which is that i am a very ordinary man here to try and give tribute to a very extraordinary man. john mccain was an extraordinary man. extraordinary in his suffering and resilience. extraordinary in his ideals and principles. extraordinary in his courage and devotion. and extraordinary, too, in the devotion he engendered. we met when i was a new senator and he already a legend. his battles for campaign finance reform and against corrupting earmarks were legendary. he could make a point here on the senate floor with legendary drama and punch and declarative force. he could also be unreasonable and he took a completely unreasonable liking to me. our politics did not match. i could offer him nothing. and yet, he befriended me. and as so many colleagues know, john's frie

not many people even the men on the floor can say that they rung the bell and i got to do that and. i'm speechless her family and friends were concerned at first but but soon changed the first time i tell anybody that was a trader on the floor my mom is very supportive of any and everything that i do i think her only caution to me was how many women work there. but again the community down here is amazing them in really want to see the woman down here flourish and have a successful career so that completely diminish as soon as i got down here working in a man's world she's learned one thing in particular. the important thing that you should be doing if you want to get a look is making your voice heard and i quickly learned day to hear on the trading floor that if they're going to listen to me i need to be one of the loudest like they are who jump at the. changes buying and selling stocks for investors a job that she thinks other women are capable of doing too but i think people are scared to go outside their comfort zone only going to be the only one i'm only going to be the only mi

i yield the floor.

tha i also i also remember when you came to the floor speak andce. remind us all of us why we ran for this great t office sure tof title like senator but it isch much more not only in honor but a challenge for us to do something with this title to solve the problems that face this country i didn't always agree with john but i always respected the fact you wanted the senate to be an institution serving the people in this country and solving problems that we face. john was principled and when we courageous there were times when we had differences and i can agt recall when he came to illinois a campaigning on behalf of a state enesid john supporter for president he returned the favor by campaigning against me.chn you might wonder in this world politics how you react a person who to a person who is trying to take your job awaydoing. but i mcca, john jim was loyal to each other ople o fromhat people decided i should be the senator didn't deter him one bie senator didn't deter him one bit for working with me from that point forward there is an emptyb space

the old roof became a new floor. here's your new floor, 200 day it would create the possibility of a new floor then the stock would come back and test that floor and it held. this pattern emboldened buyers it recognizes the stock didn't break that newfound base it didn't go back to where that climax low was it held. looking back at the beautiful bottoming that we see here with at at&t, it now seems like child's play, doesn't it yes, of course yet at that moment, it was anything but easy because at the same time these technical analysts were saying the bottom's in and it was time to buy. the fundamental analysts, they were scared out of their wits. they were all scared to death right here some were even worrying about pension obligations that could cause the difl denividend to be slashed. it scared the heck out of me remember the people in the stock for the dividend that base gave the stock a launching pad to blast off an almost straight line into the 30s. so here's the bottom line. when you see this kind of reliable

president, i yield the floor. up to ten minutes each. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. barrasso: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator for wyoming. mr. barrasso: mr. president, i come to the floor today to add my voice to the am around the -- to the many around the world who are remembering our dear friend and colleague john mccain. john mccain was a man of the highest character, courage, and credibility. known for his stubborn courage and his heroic patriotism. he leaves a legacy of devotion and love for his country and his family when i first came to the senate, mr. president, john was very welcoming. he knew i had been an orthopedic surgeon and told me to take a look at his x-rays. of course the x-rays showed the many fractures as a result of being shot down over hanoi and the subsequent beatings as a prisoner of war. it was out of pure generosity on his part that we became friends and traveling companions. john took great pride in this institution and in knowing that none of us in this body of 100, left or right, republican or democrat, conservative or l

president, i would yield the floor. a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from south dakota. mr. thune: the senate is not in a quorum call, are we? the presiding officer: the senate is not in a quorum call. mr. thune: mr. president, in the wake of senator john mccain's passing, i was particularly moved by the announcement that in accordance with his wishes he'll be buried in the cemetery at the u.s. naval academy. it is a fitting resting place for someone whoing belonged in - who belonged to the united states navy and characteristic of him that in death he wished to rest with his comrades at arms. it was during his service at the navy that lieutenant mccain's plane was shot down over north vietnam. he was ejected and taken into captivity. during world war ii admiral chester nimitz noted that, and i quote, uncommon valor was a common virtue. end quote. the same can be said about the american soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines in the prison camps of north vietnam. john mccain joined their number in october of 1967. during

i yield the floor. i note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. cornyn: i rise today to discuss -- the presiding officer: the senate is in a quorum call. mr. cornyn: -- mr. hatch: i ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. hatch: i rise to discuss the confirmation process for judge brett kavanaugh. for the last few weeks democrats complained endlessly about documents. first they said there weren't enough documents. then when the judiciary committee released a record-breaking number of documents, democrats complained that there wasn't enough time to review them all. they then complained that the documents were not public. when we made the documents public, democrats were disappointed to find they contained no smoking gun. there's been much ado about documents, but in the end it's much ado about nothing. one of the things -- i heard many of my colleagues say is that because we reviewed all of justice kagan's record

and they learned on the senate floor john mccain -- john mccain learned on the senate floor that bob dole wore his throughout much of his captivity. i respect and honor senator dole and i saw that day the respect and honor he had for a fellow senator, a fellow serviceman, a fellow veteran, both senator dole and senator mccain whose lives were dramatically affected by their service to our nation. quite frankly, when i arrived in the united states senate, i was intimidated by senator mccain. he was vitriolic. he had the opportunity, he had the habit of exploding at a moment's notice, something could set him off, something he cared passionately about could cause him to react. and in my early days as a new united states senator, i didn't seek the companionship of john mccain. that was a mistake on my part because despite his prickly nature, knowing john mccain became one of the most valuable experiences i've had in the senate. we began working together on one of those issues that john mccain and no one else in the united states senate could have the stature to deal with. certainly our mi

and they reviewed and let them shift the top floor forward slightly but that top floor was set back more than 15 feet. so they went and just shortened that setback at the top floor. we can certainly look at this again and have our preservation staff look at it again but i can't guarantee, given that it's already been -- the project sponsor said it's been discussed extensively about having less of a setback and preservation consistently said we need the 15-foot setback. it's a typical or standard setback and it's something that we often rely upon for, you know, for new additions in residential districts or have a setback of 15 feet. it's somewhat of a standard and not at all codified in the secretary osecretary of interio, i agree with you there, but it's used by our staff and i can certainly ask -- >> president fung: it's argumentive but agreed that it's been used and r.h.1 and r.h.2 housing type things to reduce the impact visually. however, i'm looking at multiple landmarks, not even historical resources. especially downtown. they had high rises built over them. >> some of those change

and on the second floor. sometimes medical services can pick it up. and it does not do well for the growing neighborhood corridor that we're trying to bring more foot traffic to. we're doing a lot of work on beautification and i think the direction that ocean avenue is going would really fit with the vision that we're seeing. and i do recognize that having restrictive controls can be -- have an opposite effect, in which people don't want to come to the corridor and activate the storefronts. so i do want to recognize that. we're exploring a similar pilot to streamline the permit process use for desired businesses, so that's something that we're working on so we can encourage other businesses to come on the corridor. with that, i will leave it to the staff to report. and i really hope that you will consider this proposal. thank you. >> thank you. >> again, commissioners, audrey butkus, planning staff. this would amend the planning code to require additional use authorization for health services on the ground fl
