the gas station. the sfm will try to ease congestion and increase safety. i have given you that information in a letter in your packet. the design of this project is in direct constudy. virtually ensuring parking issues [speaker not understood], and cars lined up waiting for the car washes. it is a perfect storm of road rage to come, honking horns to create issues with local residents. traffic city notes it's [speaker not understood] and fails to mention they have two additional longer car wash options as well. the city legislation that was passed to allow a project such as this serve the gas owners have to make [speaker not understood]. interesting the staff would recommend approving this because it would be a hardship for the neighborhood. [speaker not understood] and four gas stationses within four blocks. not having a car within 2-1/2 miles hardly constitutes a hardship. my question is do they have the right to increase their revenue, our quality of life for all the local residents, small business

i am the architect for the gas station. i am here today to introduce you to our project, the station's owner is also here, nick and his son, sonny. in addition, a transportation engineer is here. he conducted our traffic study and is available to answer any technical questions about traffic and i expect there to be some. before i take you through the project i'd like to thank planner doug vu. he's been great to work with and his comments through this process has made our project even stronger than it is. we started working on this project in 2010 when the goyals asked us to look at this aging station. it was under performing in a financial sense [speaker not understood]. my charge was to relocate the building, add a car wash and modern convenience store and to design a building that would stand out adds an example of green design on this prominent corner. it's important that you consider the owners are not planning on selling alcohol here. what we've come up with, and if i can show a graphic -- is there anything i need to do

the gas station. my top reasons are [speaker not understood], pollution, and decrease our property value. third of all, noise from 19th avenue and lincoln way have caused a big problem from our daily lives already. we can't rest and sleep well every day. if they build car wash and the gas station, the problem gets even worse. secondly, i don't want -- i don't know what type of code they use to clean the car and how they store the water. we have seniors who live in the same neighborhood and [speaker not understood]. get this only for car wash and a big convenience store directly into our property value, behind the gas station, especially if it's the last [speaker not understood]. therefore i strongly disagree with this project. thank you. >> thank you. let me call a few more name. [speaker not understood]. katia n. lou. and xhi [speaker not understood]. >>> good afternoon. i live on 19th avenue, i came to support this project with the car wash. we don't have too many car washes in the city and we alway

gas stations that are closed and abandoned in san francisco. you can't really tell the difference between the colors, but there are over 60 stations here that have been closed either by discretionary action or have been simply abandoned. and i drive and i regrettably have to pump gas and would like to continue to do so wherever i need to. let me call up mr. sonny goyal and i'm available to answer any questions. [speaker not understood]. >>> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is sonny goyal [speaker not understood]. i'll try to make this brief. our family has been in the gas business since about 1978, started by my father and his brothers. today they're still actively involved in the business and our business is to own and operate gas stations. we do not lease them. we do not flip them. we do not buy them to just sell them. as you know, oil companies have sold all of their retail assets. so, back in 2010 we went and purchased this location from shell. the format of gas stations as you know, which ahmad just mentioned, has changed over the yea

i did not know that the gas station or the plans - those plans were underway until the walk by the gas station that this meeting was planned. this was my 1 awareness avenue what's going on. my basic feeling is that the westward park homeowners association and our architectural guidelines basically should expend from flying mouth avenue and keep everything within one or two stories. buildings have been burning down. and the density while from some people from the city and the transit authorities may consider the density for the neighborhood my feeling is >> commissioners. i'm a resident and a business owner own two property part of westward property. so-called westward association. those people i don't know where they come from. i've been running a business for more than 20 years. this project has increased our business significantly. i own a property right across the street from the gas station. i'd rather see some neighborhood business where maybe an ice creme shop or maybe a small bookstore that where parents are waiting for car - kids to come out. i really hope that you approve the

i do at a gas station. [laughter] >> even if it's not [speaker not understood], i park wherever and run in the store or just leave it at the pump station and walk in, as commissioner moore was talking about. but i'm not too worried about it. it will just add to the congestion. it's an awfully congested intersection to be adding, i think attraction, more attractive stuff like the convenience store and the car wash. not too enamored making it worse than it is especially since there are two [speaker not understood] in froth of the station. can i ask the project sponsor a question? in your experience -- how long have you run the station? so far? ~ >>> [speaker not understood]. >> in your experience, do the muni buses block your driveway? >>> occasionally. >> 20% of the time, 5% of the time? >>> yeah. can't do the calculation, but it's happened. >> i'm just asking. you know, it continues to add more stuff. so, i'm not sure if i'm supportive or not supportive. i think we're adding even more problems to this partic

i'm working with her who was owned and operated the gas station on this site. the site with within the balboa planning program. the plan was enacted in 2009 and includes all the ocean avenue commercial neighborhood districts where the gas station is located and balboa park and college >> would be the primary objectives to improve the neighborhood. that will make a good contribution. the project will provide retail services, contribute to the vitality of the district. the additional units is a major component of plan. it is quite unique in this all the units are designed for families with children. there are 3 bedroom units. foot traffic along the ocean will be significantly enhanced. the nearby foods building which is 3 showers of use and the al lesson building at 1100 ocean avenue and another example of recent construction of four story buildings. both of those projects have been successful and have contributed to the improvement of the neighborhood district. crime has been reduced and it's more friendly and secure. mr. smith noted corner locations in the neig

but aside from that she owners a gas station and there are two other gas stations on ocean avenue so the remove of one gas station won't impact the neighborhood one bit. bus the impact of this building is the well-being of the neighborhood it's a incentive to the businesses to the very vitality of the city particle when the city t is crying for development. we're going to put 15 - i'm not involved by the way. she's going to put - i'm not involved in any way because i think this lady's project is a worthwhile project. i think commissioners you should really give this a thought and vote for this worthwhile development. thank you very much >> thank you. is there any other public comment? >> if you haven't already spoken. >> i think you've spoken i'm sorry everyone gets. >> i want to say one of the speakers came from the parks association. >> if it's a written comment you can leave it there. any other speakers who have not spoken yet? >> i'll try this again. good afternoon, commissioners. i've spent thirty years operating service stations in san francisco wrenching on cars and pumping ga
