fong. how are you doing? as you know, my office has been exploring how to establish a municipal bank. that conversation has carried decade-old considerations about working with banks, particularly in most recent banks that invest in oil, banks that have been found to have predatory lending practic practices. all of these issues have been brought to the forefront of the conversation. i want to make sure that the investment decisions of the ta reflect the standard and principles we uphold when we're doing business with banking institutions throughout -- consistent with our other city and county agencies. so i was wondering if you could share with us at this time some of the social considerations that are made when deciding which lenders to work with. >> i'm glad you brought this item up. this is something that the whole city and county is very interested in. there's actually a debt manager's group that i participate in with other agencies within the city and within the county. this is one of the things we talk

commissioner fong? >> commissioner fong: yeah. i just wanted to say i won't support the current motion. i do support a continuance rather keep the project alive than definitely make it a vacant site for another year. and i think there's movement for additional height on this site, and i think the neighbors might take a little bit more height. i don't think we're talking in our minds about putting a huge number of units above. even if it were a few, a handful, a few would probably be better than none, so i'd like to keep this and give the project sponsor a very short amount of but enough time to at least explore the opportunity, and if it comes back no, that's a no and we try again, but i don't want to kill it. >> president hillis: director koppel? >> commissioner koppel: could you clarify the tifs between a continuance and intent fwo disapprove. if we were to motion and vote on an intent to disapprove, that still means that the project comes back, it doesn't mean it is going to get disapproved necessarily. could maybe just someone

on that motion, president fong fong. >> aye. >> commissioner lazarus. >> aye. >> commissioner honda. >> aye. >> okay. that motion passes. and those two appeals are continued to may 9. thank you. >> let's take five minutes. >> >> clerk: good evening. we are resuming the april 25, 2018 meeting of the san francisco board of appeals. up next on the agenda is item number six. this is appeal number 18-010, john paxton versus department of building inspection with planning department approval. the subject property is 330 presidio avenue, protesting the issuance on january 11, 2018 to 330 presid yo avenue, llc of an alteration permit, permission of two accessory dwelling unit on the first floor of an existing building perordinance 3015. seismic application is on dpa 201509046211. application 2016116829. note on march 21, 2018, the board voted 4-0-1, commissioner wilson absent to continue this appeal to allow time for the department to conduct site visit to verify existing conditions. so commissioner wilson, given that you were absent for the hearing on march 21, did you have an opportunity t

says celia lim and norm fong, marlene smith, joe majur and margaret gund. when you're ready. >> good afternoon. i moved 25 years ago. after looking at the presentation on paper it looks interesting but you need to be on site to see what the design really is. first of all, i just wanted to say there's a lot of us here. we are not against building something on the loss. we welcome something new in the neighborhood. we want housing. we know that we are in a part of the city that is dense. that's why i moved there. i knew that would be the little manhattan of san francisco. we all want that. i saw the whole neighborhood grow around us and there are beautiful places, beautiful towers with spaces in between. i mean, it just sounds astonishing to me that a block -- because that building is a block that goes from beale to main from side to side, 10,000 square feet of open space, no, mostly private decks. it's not a building that's friendly to anybody. if you walk to the south and look north, what do you see today? you see three beautiful courtyards, mature trees th

. >> commissioner: commissioner fong. >> i'm going to try to make a mome motion to approve. i'm not sure where we are. i agree with commissioner richards the obvious thing is to try to get more hype but i don't think it's a good idea we spot zone parcels because it make it inconsistent and you are chasing s.u.d.s and special zoning changes. with i'm going to make a motion to approve the project. >> second. >> commissioner: shall i call the question? >> yes. >> commissioner: on the motion to approve with conditions. commissioner fong. >> aye. >> commissioner: commissioner richards. >> no. >> commissioner: the motion fails 3-2. >> is there an alternate motion? >> move to continue with the direction to have staff work with the project sponsor on a two-tower scheme in conjunction with potentially the supervisors office and see what it would take to keep the name number of units but increase the height. >> commissioner: what about the notion of carving out units? if they're concerned about air flow and air quality, i think that would do it. >> commissioner: it didn't have to be a

. >> president hillis: commissioner fong? [please stand by for captioner switch] >> i want to know what the law -- what the city requires, please. thank you. >> commissioner hillis, kate stacy with the city attorney's office. i regret to tell the commission i really just don't know the rent ordinance. i will have to consult with what the law requires. certainly landlords can enter into agreements separately with their tenants, but i cannot give you any advice now on the rent ordinance and how that applies to tenant who is leave during the renovation. i will check back. >> thank you. this is the touch piece to me. >> maybe we could have the project sponsor kind of clarify the different components of their project, which i believe are several, related to if there's a mandatory fit on this project, there's the -- baked into that, there's the temporary tenant relocations that are regulated by the board that allow for different tiers of tenant relocation and return period. i don't want to speak on behalf of the rent board related

on that motion, fong aye, johnson aye, moore aye. richards aye. president aye. that motion passes unanimous. 6-0. [applause] >> president hillis: thank you all, congratulations. >> clerk: item 15 for 2016-001738. 1140-1150 -- excuse me those persons exiting the chambers, please do so quietly, we have additional business to attend to. this is conditional use authorization. good afternoon, president hillis and members of the commission, doug vu, staff. it's a quick for conditional use authorization for demolition of existing 75,625 square foot industrial building and the new construction of a 6 to 7 story, 65 feet tall, and 427,936 mixed use building, containing 6427 square feet of ground floor retail sales through six units that would have accessory dwelling use and up to 361, 91 bedroom, and four three-bedroom units. the project includes a mid block public pedally connecting harrison and alan streets. 29,815 square feet of usable space. a basement for 170 off-street parking spaces. and also three car share spaces and two vehicle parking spaces. also the project

fong aye johnson aye koppel aye moore aye president aye. so moved, that motion passes unanimously. 6-0. case number 2017 -- 01058. conditional use authorization. 1443 nor yegga street. flashflush the subject property is developed with a three story building with commercial and upper floor residential. configuration is to improve. the department of public health found no reported complaints for the current operator for the subject location, but the planning department has no record of complaints. the department received one anonymous public comment in opposition of the proposal concerned that it will be bring prostitution to the area. the department is in general support of the project. the proposed is not for retail use, providing goods to the neighborhood. it would allow expanding services to the neighborhood and is consistent with the policies of the general plan. this concludes my presentation. >> president hillis: thank you. project sponsor. are they here? is the project sponsor here? no? so is there any public comment on this item? i t

commissioner fong? >> commissioner fong: sure. i think it's pretty difficult. i'm in agreement with the public and staff, and i think there's an absolutely need for a modification. i think it's a challenge. i think we should not necessarily blame ourselves. the city has grown a tremendous amount. valuations of real estate have gone up tremendously, so the point that we'll talk about penalties. i don't think penalties have increased nearly for the value of the projects. way 4,000 bucks for a $4 million project in no big deal. stepping back a little bit, i think it's important that we setup a task force, a group with maybe some community members, some of us involved, get that next date scheduled. i have great confidence in both staffs of both departments to be able to come up with some is fresh ideas and fold in some of the ideas that the public also brings in. one question i've always been kind of concerned about, and this is citywide, and even beyond these two departments is the enforcement teams in which the city -- we sort of respond to problems by phone call

on the motion to rescind commissioner fong. >> aye. >> the clerk: commissioner koppel. >> aye. >> the clerk: commissioner richards. >> aye. >> the clerk: it passes 5-0. now we can consider an alternate proposal. >> motion to approve. >> the clerk: on the motion to approval the alternative project. commissioners? so moved. the motion passes unanimously 5-0. >> commissioner: we'll go back to item 13 for the downtown project authorization. >> good afternoon. the proposed project before you is a request for a downtown project authorization for the demolition of two existing commercial structures with a combined area of 35,625 square feet. the merger of two parcels and the krufconstruction of a new n and 10-story residential building. with up to 144 dwelling units and 840,000 square feet of common space at a rooftop deck and sole -- solarium and a parking space accessed through the mezzanine level. the residential lobby would be on main street and the development would include streetscape including fruit trees and landscaping. authorization the proposed project is seeking an exception from

key topics that came up for captain fong were parking violation policies, particularly as it relatessuance of parking violations within the residential neighborhood, but also the management of people who double park on pawks and treasure island boulevard to take photographs. for supervisor kim's office, there was a wide variety of topics under the general umbrella of family and youth support programs that were discussed and we are working with one treasure island to see if we can come up with a recommendation for the supervisors office, building off of those ideas. and also highlighted was the need for additional dialogue with tima to follow-up on the transit and the toll discussions for the island. you may have seen coverage in the past month that is included in the board package of a study that was finalized by a professor from u.c. berkeley and arizona state university, highlighting the need when looking at sea level rise to consider both the sea level rise that can occur over time but also the subsidance of land that can occur. treasure island was mentioned in the report. some of

his little girl, chi fong was 3. over the decade wong never stopped looking for her. a cab driver so he could spread the word. handing out her picture to more than 10,000 strangers. the odds of finding one person in this country of 1.4 billion people were not good. but then a sketch was made of what the missing girl would look like as an adult. and a woman living in northern china saw it and thought, it looked a lot like her. a dna test showed that this woman, now 2 years old, and known as khan ying was his child. adopted by another family who found her alone on a roadside in 1994. she grew up just 12 miles from home. she arrived last week with a bouquet of flowers and a crush of cameras. when she was reunited with her biological parents. nobody else seemed to exist. finally, holding his daughter again, he simply said through tears, mommy and daddy love you. a sudden moment, 24 years in the making. thanks to a father who never gave up on his little girl. ben tracy, cbs news, shanghai. >>> that is the "overnight news" for this tuesday. for some of you the news continue
