with commissioners antonini, hillis, sugaya, wu and fong voting against. should we take the second motion. >> so i believe i can support commissioner hillis motion. i don't know the to see all c u's, if it's located as a process as opposed to a banned process. >> that's exactly my position as well. i do not support conditional uses accrue is the city. if we want to give control in that way, i'm willing to support that, but i don't think that is the right approach citywide. i just don't. >> let me chime in and this is really not too much different in what we did in upper market last week. in which we created a very specific policy with a radius clause of a number of feet. it really sort of a pilot for that particular area because of the given conditions. i feel this is the exact same thing. i do feel that by whatever reason timing approving three in one night, we changed that block over night and i didn't feel very good about that and i don't have a problem with the mcd's there, but doing it there in one night was not right for the community. remember they

. >> commissioner hillis? >> i would agree to recommend staff's moves recommendation and i agree to exploring. i would want to kick it down the curb and ask that we explore additional notification or additional kind of search able in a data bass that allows folks to search project base and also supporting priority for affordable housing projects. the issue of, on the issue of kind of projects stopping while a ceqa determination is made. like the shipyard, somehow miraculously. it's designed to happen so staff and the project sponsor will make -- that's the most complex project we can possibly have where there is numerous approvals and somehow miraculously the approval is made before it got up to the board? you can kind of call how it works the system. i don't think it really matters. it's got 30 days. i think either way. it doesn't necessarily matter. but i think i agree with commissioner wu with a way to explore to have our data base explorable. that maybe not the way it works. we maybe go to supervisor chiu'

. >> commissioner hillis? >> i think we should address the concerns now. i guess the citywide issue for the planning commission issue, we can ask to hear this issue next week because i think it legitimate to talk about this citywide and making sure other districts. m cd's can locate other districts. i will speak, i think the 500 foot ban could lead to a situation where you have 6 blocks but if you did it as a cu, you could have these in one block which i think it makes sense especially given there are landlords that won't lease to mcd. do we have a motion? and a second on the floor? >> i would move to adopt this with modifications where we convert the 500 foot restricts to c u's. >> second. >> maker has to accept it. >> there was a motion. >> there is an initial motion with a second. there has been a second motion with a second. we should take up the first motion and back it up with a second. let me get a chance to get my head around the second one. okay. so there is a motion by commissioner border, seconded by commissioner moore to adopt the resolution re

. >> commissioner hillis. >> just on that staff memo. i think it's important to note where it could take issue on this. if you look to the kind of the motion for the resolution that's before us, it doesn't really call out. i think the staff has articulated reasons why it supports positions beyond where this is going to cost more. i mean i'm still fine with moving the regulation -- resolution with staff's modification. >> commissioner moore? >> i would like to say that the better the preparation, the earlier the better the product. i do not believe there are people in the community who are hounding appeals but i think they will be happier if there were more put into this. >> there is a motion and a second commissioner. if i can try to reiterate the motion correctly and make sure i got it right. the motion that has been seconded is on the floor for your consideration is to adopt a resolution recommending approval of the ordinance or the amendments to the ordinance with staff's modifications including recommendations for additional review o

. >> commissioner hillis? >> i just want to explore the possibility of having a motion because the discussion was important or some recommendation from us. i don't know if it would be, i guess there is a motion and second on the table to continue. >> not to continue, to forward without recommendation. >> i can't make a substitute motion at this point. >> i suppose you can make the motion, we have done it before, but we would take the first motion before. >> i would put the same motion as supervisor wu but to explore the priority to city projects such as affordable housing. >> second if there is a chance to have that motion. >> okay. let's take up the matter of the first motion. >> mr. moore? >> i just said the fact that we recommend to forward without recommendation does not mean that the board of supervisors will not read what staff recommended. let's just be real. so that's all i have to say. >> all right. commissioners there are two motions that both have been second the first is to forward without recommen

[speaker not un

seeing none, commissioners. >> on that motion to continue, commissioner antonini, borden, hillis, moore, sugaya, wu and president fong aye. that places you under questions and matters. item 3 for questions and comments. >> i read in the paper, golden gate park. i know the planning department was not involved. it was a cute article. i'm going to pass it around. he was a child who discovered like a hollow on the bottom of a tree and had his father who was a shipbuilder and he built him a door with hinges and knob with all of those things and installed it because there are people living at the bottom of the extremely. i want to pass this around. it's absolutely adorable. >> commissioner antonini? >> thank you. i want to mention that i attended a meeting last night at temple baptist church and i thought that it was a very good meeting for the residents of lakeside village which is where i reside and it was a discussion for future planning for the m line which runs through lakeside and along 19th avenue which stops at san francisco state and circles back to balboa park station. they had some

. >> on that motion, commissioner antonini, aye, hillis, aye, wu aye, so moved commissioners that motion passes unanimously 5-0 and puts you on item 11 for 1501 baker street request for conditional use authorization. >> members of the planning commission sharon young. the item before you is kwr for use of authorization to react rate to establish 1850 square foot establishment doing business within rh 3 zoning district. they were occupied both commercial tenant spaces at 2600 sutter street with connection between the two spaces. the proposal involves commercial space. there would be no expansion of existing building envelope. according to the project sponsor, the propose service establishment will specialize in nutrition and holistic workshops, presentations and possibly drop off point for fruit and vegetables and delivery services. the proposed will be independently own and not considered a retail use in the planning code. the subject commercial at the present time space was prior to january 1st, 1960 was a grocery store and according to the project sponsor, the commercial spaces might h

thank you. >> commissioner hillis? >> just a couple questions for staff and thank you supervisor kim and the public for coming out. i know this is a complicated issue and i think ceqa is an important and challenging project. we can't really separate ceqa from the project whether it's a der type of appeal or ceqa appeal. i recognize we are not, it's always tough taking on ceqa and the rules around nasdaq and exemptions. it really doesn't affect the projects in e i r, i want to follow-up on commissioner wu's comment with projects going through eir is generally the same. what's different in either piece of legislation about those projects? >> as supervisor wiener's legislation has been amended, at this point in time, the most substantive difference is that they appeal the length from 20 to 30 days on the eir and also under supervisor wiener's legislation there would need to be a project approval. a project approval would need to be appealed after the certification of the eir but there does not to be a project approval. >>

. >> commissioner hillis? >> just a question on this definition of small business. how is that, i know it's a confusing definition watt small business commission but how is it defined? >> it's a good question. it's not defined. we approached the question as we have the question of what is pdr, in the planning code we define what it is not instead of what it is. it's a criteria that makes something none knot eligible in the program. >> okay. i know formula retail is exempt, but formula retail can they come in and say it's otherwise, would it be kicked out? >> it's not included in the planning code. it a term of art. the office of small business has a working definition which involves a hundred employee threshold. as far as your policy is proposed it's really an element which is eligible to participate. we have named it a small business. we are saying what can't participate rather than what it is. >> okay. then i agree with commissioner's wu's comments. do we know what applications would have been part of the policy in the last five years because it's limited to these

. >> on that motion to commissioner antonini, hillis, moore, sugaya, wu, fong? ayes. >> that motion passion 7-0. formula retail in the upper market ncd proposed planning commission policy that would establish a methodology for determining the concentration of formula retail and set the appropriate level of concentration for formula retail in the upper market neighborhood nct and ncd. preliminary recommendation: adoption the department would still evaluate on the applicable criteria to the planning code on the deliberation and the commission would still retain it's discretion to approve. if it's based on the other applicable criteria and code and recommend approval and disapproval accordingly. the department worked very closely with the association to develop a proposed policy including the methodology including the concentration and setting the maximum concentration for the upper market neighborhood. upper market is going through transformation now. you can see a lot of construction cranes. there are in addition to thousands of square foot of retail under constr

. >> commissioner hillis? >> on the 20 percent figure. if we looked at formula retail now on the corridor, would any block meet -- where would those blocks meet or exceed that point of threshold? >> we rant -- ran a couple scenarios. it's about 11 or 12 percent. but that's analyzing the pete's coffee store, one that already exist. when you get to the corner properties, you include both frontages so that significantly increases the percentage of formula retail. >> i guess i want to make sure we are formulateing the percentaging. i think it bridges that gap. where i think a ban is tough to do this is almost sending the signal where i think valencia and in this case there is too much formula retail on upper market and we are trying get an established neighborhood. i would like to make sure that percentage is low enough that we are basically saying, we are setting the signal to formula retail that you don't want more formula we re tail on this corridor which is what we are trying to do. >> i think we set it low enough by using the methodology

. >> commissioner hillis. thank you for staying with us this long. i would tend to agree. i think the design is great. this kind of architecture works with this setting. i think it's vastly improved from the prior reiteration. that spun out of the earlier variance hearing. the only issue i have is the balcony. can you give us an indication is >> it's going to be up on the overhead here proposed by the project sponsor. so they are showing the reduced size. it's going to be no wider than the window that is proposed and the hat condition, the stairs that they are to the minimum requirement of the building code, no larger. >> no stairs are required for egress. >> with that, i want to make it clear that the planning commission has full authority although i may grant a variance to take the er. >> i would be supportive of that and you making the modifications to the variance or just doing it through a dr. it's reasonable. >> commissioner moore. i appreciate the commissioner's comment and the administrators reading on the balconies since this project since with no backyard so to s

. >> although san francisco is a hilly place for a whraoel chair user, we seem to be better at most. that doesn't mean we can't continue to improve upon ourselves. >> the public has a clear are -- of travel. we can't be every to make sure that is the place. we have to rely on the place. call 311. give them your name. that goes into a data base. >> it is difficult, still, um to make the case that the disabled community isn't being represented. in some ways we are not. we have a long way to go. >> the city of san francisco is using the most innovative technology available. these devices allow people to remain out in their communities, doing things like shopping. it is great to be able to walk as a pedestrian in this city and cross streets safely. aye been in san francisco 20 years. i'm homeless. i got a good cup of coffee. i got a number. today i'm 359. >> you try to do the right thing and make a point to do what you have to to be at one place. they have all the services at one building. i can spend 4 hours touching each table ask and getting the information i need to get back on my fe

authorities are conducting a door-to-door sweep of homes scattered across hilly terrain, checking storage and horse stables, and even searching attics. leila fowler would have turned nine in june. >> did the surviving child recognize the suspect? >> not that i realize. >> a search started with a man running on foot that would be not common for a rural area. >> we are extensively searching in attics and it is a difficult area to search. with tall grass. >> this community is on hold until this man is found. >> this train is still the challenge attempt to rain. the little girl with a been 9 years old and the month of june. >> this stretch of hot weather. gusting winds on tuesday and wednesday. here is a look at the forecast. even some temperatures getting into the mid-90s. the east bay valleys. the north bay valleys could see '70s and '80s by the bay. many 90 degrees for the inland valleys. pittsburgh. and 70's for the bay. 76 degrees and '80s in the north bay. here is the seventh day of rounded a nine these inland. and remember you can watch the weather forecast whenever it is convenient fo

the wind advisory for the bay sections and hilly sections. wind gusts today. 55 miles per hour in san francisco. that is significant. 40 in point reyes. and berkeley 32. here is the deal, with the blowing sand on the great highway i wouldn't be surprised if it gets shut down. great highway, if you travel that route, kind of be prepared for changes. the system that is over us now is moving through, it is cold. or cooler. producing showers around davis area and north, and up here on 50 and 80 for a while. as the system moves off this way it deposits cold air and winds die down and it will get chilly. current wind gusts. that is 40 miles per hour right now at the san francisco airport right here. that is a lot of wind. you may see slight flight delays. they are used to that wind. still check your carrier. it is kicking up the pollens and tree pollens are trending high. weed grasses are in there but it will be worse tomorrow. when i come back, the complete forecast for your neighborhood, high temperatures and when things warm up around here. back

this is an area near ventura, you know how hilly it can be. a wind warning in effect for this area. the winds are not going to let -- not going to let up tonight. it is tough to fight the fires when the winds are blowing this hard. you are not going to see ground crews. it is vertical in this area. thousand feet, 1500 feet. it is dry. humidity is 19%. my concern as we watch the fire, the winds are going to keep blowing tonight as we grow into the evening hours. for us, winds are dying down. we will see lighter winds tonight. great highway was closed for a time because of blowing sand. winds keep blowing over night but not as strong. over night, less wind, less wind, warmer tomorrow. model, thursday before we see a return of clouds. tuesday, wednesday, and thursday a few clouds come in and temperatures dip a little bit. that is it. wednesday is the warmest day of the week. thursday, lake tahoe area, that is it. today was gusty out there. lis low-pressure system and this high-pressure system was too close together. it is moving towards the east and lessens the difference between the t

>> on that, commissioner hillis said, another tool which we have audio and -- used, and i don't know if it was used in the king street area was to hall out on the architects in this building and technically in the market corridor we saw today to make it subdividable because we have this plan that is requiring the back of the house corridors access to elevators and loading docks etc which a plan didn't have and the plans were retro fitted to allow for that and i think the tools are important to study in more detail and the department almost in precondition on the majority of buildings. >> commissioner antonini? >> yes, just to clarify a little bit about this vote on this particular legislation where it's a policy in the policy is one that guides staff obliging them to ask or support disapproval of a project if the threshold is exceeded. but it would not preincluded individual commissioners from conceded all the different factors in their vote and we would not be obliged and therefore you are not against it. >> you are required to look at all the policy. >> it's a staff recommendation

. >> commissioner hillis? >> i think we should address the concerns now. i guess the citywide issue for the planning commission issue, we can ask to hear this issue next week because i think it legitimate to talk about this citywide and making sure other

hilly locations. hasn't rained in a while, right? dry winter. that is why we are seeing the red flag warning and the concerns. it is dry, not may dry, june dry. five-day forecast with your bay area weekend in view, sunshine and warm and warmer still into thursday and saturday. the biggest concerns are for winds. worried about fire into the bay area weekend just because it is dry. real dry winter. >> be careful out there. >> exactly. see something, call 911. we have to watch out. >> heat is on. thank you. >> thank you. >>> coming up on bay area news at 7:00 on tv 36, nba player jason collins sparks a big announcement and how the video of his touchdown run went viral, join us for these stories and more on bay area news at 7:00 on tv 36. >>> no one can deny him, steph curry had a big night last night, the warriors point guard talks about his incredible show stopping 3rd quarter. make it your own with melty monterey cheddar or creamy ranch. and during april, the black forest ham is also a $3 six-inch select. subway. eat fresh. >>> getting on bart ma
