next speaker, please. >> i'm john i'm a tenant at 2 henry adams. been there for 24 years seen the changes in katrero you've heard a lot of points of view and a lot of lies. but quickly i'd like to say that penn truce is a good company this is not about penn truce they could be in india but coming to the design center they don't need phasing you've heard a lot of things about how great penn truce is i used them in my art gallery they're not the issue it could be state farm insurance it is about pdr spaces the two things i urge you number one don't allow this landmark plan to go through it's a looking like loophole for greed and urging the supervisors and the land use commission varicose veins the board of supervisors get together to put a citywide plan to deal with the shrinking office spaces in san francisco that's happening in your district and your district it's happening all over san francisco. we needed a comprehensive displaying tenants from those two buildings is a travesty i urge you to vote no on the landmark and urge you to public health t

i'm here to ask the members of the committee to vote no on henry adams street this is a shining example of what pdr space should be it's 90 percent full of viable businesses i ask that the historical committee stop the rush to convert the pdr space throughout the city to the landmark loophole conversions were we're going under 17 percent in my major city mayor ed lee and you supervisor cohen recognized this to stressing the expansion and growth of the manufacturing and light sector unquote why would you consider

and for those tenants we've not been able to identify spaegs space in henry adams we've offering a passage including hiring the brokerage to support this to seek to leased other space in the neighborhood and committed to covering their relocation costs for relocating tenants from show place into the gallery. we've gone one step further to support the design district are going to fund two months of rent for residents in this district. happy to answer any and all questions to the progress since we've late met and great, thank you. well, maybe we can begin to talk about how many tenants are in the building and how many have you reached out to and there are one hundred and 27 tenants and i've attempted to reach out >> sometimes, i e-mails them it was a holiday week i couldn't reach everyone. there were 3 tenants that were not home so i didn't get to them i think we've given you a contact log you have a record of conversations and e-mails meetings >> so my notes show there are 19 lease extensions that were extended. >> month to month tenants we're extending yes, we're in conversation i've confi

the 2 henry adams issue is a pdr space. the conversion the designation of that building as a landmark would have loud it to be converted to office it's a different situation >> thank you. and commissioners that places you on item 9 at 22 second street an informational preservation public update >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm kevin with the plaintiff i'm going to keep my statement brief this is 22 second and the progress on two specific points first, the arts proposal as well as the reinstatements to the exterior design for the post entitlements just to recap in august of 2010 it is a 6 story office building as well as ground floor retail and an interior open space. the item was preapproved in february of 2013 with minor provisions with the footprint as well as the configuration of the uses. the project is currently under construction. so in terms of the art proposal the spokesperson proposes to deal with the public art by providing 3 artworks specifically the project sponsor will install the pieces in the howard wall

offering to the tenants you're not proposing to henry adams what exactly are you going to be proposing to do for them. >> maybe we can talk about that and break it specifically apart. the passage essentially is how far u roughly $3 million of relocation costs for building out spaces for the tenants and relocating into the gallery our o those tenants we're not able to have in the gallery for a long term basis they have lease expenses that are being put in place or hiring and paying for a commercial real estate broker that's not supported by brokerage it, it's a small subset of yours we have engaging

don't do it >> next speaker >> good afternoon, supervisors steve i'm not here to speak on 2 henry adams but item 4. i apologize. i represent several owns of building in pdr g not pdr d. i'm asking you that consider one amendment to item 4 on page 3 line 21 right now line 21 says that excited uses of an existing uses bandit for 90 days you lose that use in the pdr use >> can you tell me what line. >> hold only. >> on item 4. if i may take a moment i have an updated legislation i want to circulate to you. >> so hopefully, we'll resolve this issue simply that 90 days increased to one hundred and 80 days. the current period is one hundred and 80 days to make that consistent >> is there any additional public comment on item 3 or item 4? supervisor cohen how do you want to handle were you going to have the project sponsor come back up >> i'll be brief i want to clear up the leasing numbers at times we refer to the design center as two buildings to be specific henry adams there's 77 leases in place and 31 are month to month. since our last hearing and subsequent to meeting with supervisor cohe

secondly, that the board of supervisors i think took the correct stance on 2 henry adams in denying they didn't take up a vote but tabled it i guess. i think that the debate about using historic preservation incentives to convert pdr is that a to office really needs a lot of ira in the city given the potential for a loss especially south of market. and that comes from someone that's been in the historic preservation for 40 years. i applauded the efforts on the part of the city and other communities around the country to include incentives for preserving historic resources in their communities. but because they're really were not very many incentives available to owners and tenants but i think that sometimes there are larger issues that need to be addressed so i hope we can have a conversation about this especially with the historic preservation commission >> commissioner moore. >> thank you commissioner borden. her experience goes beyond the 6 years we've been sitting here together and shining through the times there are a political matter about what's in front of this commission i've le

i think that's important and actually one thing it relates back to what we discussed with the henry adams thing. it's a profit base incentive change to have the zoning changed in the section listed for the buildings that we talked about so there are things in the code already that are incentive based or processed based to grant incentives, so how those get flushed out would be part of it i would assume. >> thank you. commissioner. >> well i focus on the word "educate" and i think what we're trying to hear is we want to educate the public and give them more technical support here. either think of a new policy or another policy or add to what you say here, so what sort of gets to what i am talking about it says "provide technical support for the coordination of state and federal incentive programs" but that doesn't get to really wanting to educate the public so some of the comments made here to for by some of the commissioners and using the examples for incentives but i don't know. i guess it would be more of what we can we do to provide more education and technical support for the public?

over the last two months i've worked with tenants in the 2 henry adams it was impartiality for a landmark designation their proposal to convert their 5 story building to office space and displace tenants is a significant concern. based on a survey there's approximately 14 other buildings in the pdr one d and g areas that could be eligible for landmark designation those buildings are allowed to convert one hundred percent of their space to office. eir respect of whatever whether or not they displace the tenants this limits the number of stories they can limit by establishing now controls i believe this legislation strikes the right balances between higher revenue balances such office space to support the maintenance of those historic buildings without displacing tenants or can only obligating a whole pdr building. you've heard me time and time again stress the value of pdr and the value it brings to our city it provides blue-collar jobs and diversity to our economy 0. not addressing this issue will lead us down a path of undercutting all issue to support a growing local manufacturing indus

recommend to move out of committee the legislation that would have done the mark designation for henry adams. if there was more that you would like to, we can discuss now or off line if there is more that you would like to see the commission discuss, give consideration here on the matter? >> no. i think it go the the appropriate level of attention and i think we'll continue to i think, i'm glad that that particular situation worked out the way it did rather than it did visor verse because it put it's in a better place rather than scrambling what to do. while i'm a huge fan, displacing all of those existing tennants would have been very problematic. so i think it raised the awareness of the issues to the public as well as city hall. i think we'll just monitor where it goes from here and weigh in if we have to. >> all right. that is the update for that item. and so, the interim zoning controls for the office conversion in landmark buildings will be heard at the board of supervisors office on thursday. i provided you with status update of other legislative items that have been before you where

congressman john quincy adams, his wife, louisa katherine, their sons, charles francis adams and his sons henry adams and brooks adams. as the enabling legislation states, both individually and collectively, the members of this ill lust res you family have enriched the nation through their profound civic consciousness, abiding belief in the perfect blingt of the nation's democksained commitment to service and sacrifice for the common good. the adams historical foundation and others have been committed to realizing its goal of creating a commemorative memorial. however, siting a commemorative memorial in the nation's capital is an arduous undertaking, maize colleagues have pointed out. despite broad support and the best efforts of the adams memorial foundation, we remain without an agreed upon location, but we're getting much closer, for this important memorial. i know all the stake holders firmly believe the adams' legacy is worthy of memorializing in the nation's capital. this bill if passed, will give all parties time to reach an agreement on an appropriation he case that honors president adams' le

great man sitting in a seat close to the speaker. >> this e.on john quincy adams, about 600 pages long, this follows gore vidal, henryames, charles dickens, thomas carl icahn a mark twain, and abraham lincoln biographies in the past. does fred kaplan have a next book is going to write? >> yes, i do. it is a book that starts with abraham lincoln and john quincy adams in the same house together , voting in the same way against the american war, against slavery and in favor of ring strong national government which is responsible for infrastructure in the country. it is not a dual portrait of the two men, but it is a comparison between the two of them and the differences and similarities. especially, their attitudes toward slavery and how those work out. the crucial question is, why did john quincy adams say that the notion of colorization, of exporting all of our free blacks and free negroes and slaves to africa and getting rid of them that way, why is that a ridiculous idea and fantasy. why did abraham lincoln right up 1862, right up to late 1862, still believe then -- believed in and >> from new york city to booth bay
