commissioner moore. i said i. commissioner sugaya. commissioner wu. president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes with commissioner sugaya voting against. the scoping administrator what say you >> you move to close this hearing. >> why do we >> commissioners, we left off on your regular calendar item 13 for case no. 2013.1331c for 435 jackson street. this is a request for conditional use authorization. please note that after hearing and closing public comment, a motion to approve with conditions failed 3 to 2. commissioners moore and sugaya voted against. commissioner antonini and fong were absent. the matter was continued to february 26, '14 by a vote of 4 to 1. commissioner fong, you were abseptember on that date. in order for you to participate, you need to acknowledge you reviewed the video or audio file and are prepared to consider this item. >> absolutely in a comfortable setting i reviewed the video and am prepared to take action on the matter. >> thank you. ~ absent >> thanks, i'm presenting the case for [speaker not understood] w

actually a cost figure thrown out i'd be interested to wrap that conversation and commissioner sugaya was just asking i want to hear plo more about it. >> commissioner sugaya. >> to elaborate that was presented at the hearing in the following way. the gary brrt is going to move ahead without filling in the underpass they feel they can do the improvements and not jeopardizes anything in the future with regard to that overpass but not a part of the brt at this time >> you any additional comments that is okay. next item. >> commissioners item 9 election of officers. >> vice president wu and i had a conversation and i'm prepared to table that but i feel with commissioner antonini out i feel we should postpone this. >> i guess he'll be back next welcoming week. >> on the 13th. >> commissioner sugaya said what i was going to say. >> so the motion to continue to next - >> i think someone other than the chair needs to make the motion. >> i'll make the motion and on that motion to continue item the to the election of officers commissioner borden any public comment? commissioner hillis. commissioner wu and presi

commissioner sugaya >> yeah. i start with one comment. that a question actually to staff. has this been scheduled before the historic presentation commission >> i can't speak to the previous circulated eir but this one has not. >> i know the staff should give consideration to having a hearing before the historic preservation commission under charter under the referral of duties in which the matter that pertain to the historic resources and in effects to those resources must be circulated and i find such a statement is contained in the collective summary that the eir could result in a potentially impact to resource etc. so my contention is you need to a circulate this through the historic preservation commission at some point. and, secondly, there's been allocation this the notice for this has been inadequate that's a legal issue without going through a long protracted discussion between attorneys i can only accept what is before us as being adequate. i am open, however, to extending the comment period not this part

commissioner sugaya >> yeah. i think as one who comes from historic preservation background the tdr program is one to assist the nonprofit. there are some tax credit programs but they're only available to commercial families and make money think buildings so those are not available there's a way to do it but it's tricky and there's other programs but this is one that has an immediate effect and the building that my office is in the owner of the building sold tdred. i'm pleased to support the motion >> commissioner moore. >> i can't help saying i wish we would have found some innovative tools. commissioners there's a motion moved and seconded to adapt in. commissioner borden >> commissioner hillis arrest commissioner moore commissioner sugaya and commissioner wu. >> that motion passes unanimously 5 to zero and places you on item 17. at 1700 my own street. please not excuse me. that on november 7, 2013, the project sponsor asked the project to be continued and it was super is seated to january 2, 0014, with a vote of

>> i will move to recuse. >> second. >> commissioner sugaya? >> can i just make a motion. >> there has been a motion and second to recuse commissioner antonini, hillis, sugaya, commissioner fung and president wu. that motion passes 6-0. >> good afternoon members of the planning commission. the request before you is to modify a wireless telecommunication facility located at 2775 van ness. it's located at the southwest corn of lombardy street and van ness. it's zoned rc 3 residential commercial medium density. the proposed modification includes the replacement of six antennas in the west and south facing facades currently under construction as well as new antennas on the east facing facade. the three additional tennants will be installed to the penthouse. in order to meet the visual impact of the tennants, a collar will be placed below the antenna to hide the key loop below the antenna and back opportunity to cable towards the rear of the building. as this site currently contains at&t mobility, the site is considered a colocation location site and

evening it gives more so choices to customers i don't see that as a negative if people having want to have beverages with their meal >> commissioner sugaya. >> i favor the project i don't think people will use this as a drinking establishment. it's small and family run and i think, you know, they may have an occasional glass of beer or wine but it won't operate the way the neighbors think. i'll go ahead and make a motion to approve with conditions. i think it was 6 to 6 monday through thursday and a 7 to 9 friday and a saturday >> second. >> commissioners, on that motion with conditions. >> commissioner hillis. president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes names. this places you under the budget and workforce program. is an ax >> we're here to ask for your action on the networks two years budgeted. we've had two other hearings and keith last time mentioned the proposed new editions to our budget before keith makes a detailed presentation he'll highlight a few things. just as a reminder we're continuing to see revenues increase due to the development activity we're proposing to use those revenues to hire more staff to support

commissioner sugaya? >>commissioner hisashi sugaya: one last thing. we got this in our packet last week. i don't know this newspaper, but on the front it says it's getting the boot because more store fronts are getting more international retailers and facing eviction on valentines day. i did read the article. it didn't really get into this whole issue national and international retailers looking on fillmore street. it's more like what seemed to be a personality difference and the store and the landlord. behind it i think is the whole issue that we've been discussing today. so. this is donna karen? this is a costco shirt. >> i just hope that you can be bigger than that and be supportive because i think if you show a good model of what it means to be a formula retail by our standards and not maybe san francisco but maybe you can influence the ones that are already there to continue. >> commissioner moore? >>commissioner kathrin moore: i sat there approving ralph lauren and not because i wanted to, but at that time the community has commitments from the ralph lauren store which was quite subs

. >> commissioner sugaya. >> i have a followup on that. i think it would help to also have a some data that shows for those parcels what the development potential is for office space >> sure. >> he the resulting amount of net p dr to give us the magnitude of this whether it's one hundred thousand square feet or a million whatever. so if we could get that. and, secondly, i think mr. cohn's comment is how can you assure that once the offices are built that any kind of p dr is actually, you know, going to populate that space and how it is subsidy that word we're using going to be applied to those p dr spaces and assure some affordability there >> if we're saying one of the rebates is that one use can subsidize the other i think it's important to get our hands around that. and lastly to the supervisors offices i think my concern has been parallel with jim's and there's a huge number of blocks that are currently aimed that p dr uses that are being looked at different and their might be something that the supervisors can get air hands around to

commissioner sugaya? >>commissioner hisashi sugaya: do we have a copy of the letter from the russian hill association? i know it came in e-mail but i don't have it with me. sorry. and just to continue with the project sponsor? i know your place very well on grand avenue. very nice to see you expanding it a bit. i hope you are not going to abandon that store. in terms of the condition, you've discussed them with the association? and are you pretty much on board with those? >> yes, we have no problem with those. >> with that, i will make a motion to approve with conditions including the specific ones that were submitted by the russian hill association if they are enforceable at our end? >> yes, i would like to go through those briefly. i think we have concerns about some of those. first of all we want conditions that are enforceable and we also want to be mindful that the approval runs with the land and whether or not you would like to restrict it so much that it's changing the model of oven would require coming back to the planning commission is something we need to consider. item one on their conditions

the patterns to maybe help us to get at the bigger question of, you know, the impact >> commissioner sugaya. >> yes. iave one small question ms. hay word. on table two with the material we've received there's a category called cfo shops can you define that like a restaurant maybe the pinecrest is downtown. i would sort of characterize it a as a small business and mel's driven in is that a cfo shot shop >> they were analyzing the planning code defendant in relations the planning code has a restaurant and we were analyzing the industry of the code in the brad street data. we went through each sub category and tried to break down those into further categories that appear to be of interest related to formula retail. so while cfo shops fall under limited recuperate cfo shops tend to be a hot bottom issue we have the local chains and we have large chains so we tried based on the codes based on the brad street data for the interests. >> seems like reaching 50 percent is a little bit high to me >> that's stripping data. >> you're looking for feedback open the 4 topics. those are fine with me. i didn't acquit

commissioner sugaya >> yes. just a personal observation iromote by commissioner antonini's comment about the internet connection most of those cities are provided it through google first in the two kansas city's and their extending it to other communities. it's ironic that at the same time, we're thinking we want good looking to come here but we're protesting their buses and using that as a symbol i'd put san francisco last on any list >> i just want to let the commission know i'll be absent i'll be in a convention in la i'll look forward to seeing you after that. >> item 9 directors announcements. >> thank you good afternoon, commissioners just one announcement i want to highlight the plan workshop we're going to have in hate ash berry district and there's a workshop next thursday the 27 from 5 to 8 on urban street. again hate ash berry from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. that concludes my report >> item 10 past weeks board of appeals and historic commission there is no report on the board of appeals because of the holiday. or board of supervisors. >> t

i will second it. >vice-president cindy wu: commissioner sugaya? >>commissioner hisashi sugaya: your concerns are a little bit out of the planning commission and within the purview of the department of building inspection. so if you continue to have concerns, you will have to try to follow it through dbi process. these guys have to file a building permit and all that stuff. that is all public record. so if you want to do that, you should talk down there and track it at that department. >vice-president cindy wu: can i ask project sponsor to address the question of eviction? >> quite frankly i have no knowledge of the eviction of which he speaks. >vice-president cindy wu: but the record shows no eviction? >> that's what i have. >vice-president cindy wu: commissioner moore? >> i think with the width and depths of the property. i would prefer to have 5 buildings. i think 47 or so yard between the two still assures a lot of privacy out of the buildings into each other. i think that's just about border line and to keep that in this type of condition and

the issue it lights i want to address is that last week at the commission meeting commissioner sugaya made a statement it caught my attention he said i'm no biophysicist but i can't incidental what an eir would show us at this point. and that's despite the fact it documents have been presented indicating that there are hazardous activity and environmentally dangerous activities and the whole purpose of an eir is to reconcile those opinions 0 that's why i'm advocating an eir. the other part deals specifically with section 2 b of the mitigation activities which deal essentially with the take activities authorization within the project. the project or the u.s. corp. - u.s. army core of engineers hazed not paragraphed the take off activities until they do the project can't go forward. the other part i was involved with in in my professional career was q a and q c of hazard i didn't see activities. those activities allows for continuing operations the finding continuing operations without understanding what's going on during those operations >> thank you. >> thank you. >> okay. just to rea

commissioner sugaya. >> yes. the john stuart company can i understand a little bit about the management structure that exists for this structure underlying it the hurgdz and the mayor's office has an involvement but, you know, funding is coming from various sources but in terms of the managing the development are you also the managers of the property itself in terms of all the ongoing like you were mentioning tenant complaints fixing the shower and sings is that your involvement and in terms of the market rate component will you still be on board with that or is that farmed out to another entity? >> so for phase one we're the management company and phase two is the housing authority so far as the market rate parcels if i had a crystal ball i wouldn't tell you it would probably be another company. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you. i have one final question. i think, you know, it belonged more to the design phase but can you remind us where the retail is in relation to this its mostly housing how the neighborhood functions >> right now there is

i guess. i'll make a motion for an indefinite continuance >> second. >> so commissioners there's a moved and seconded for indefinite continuance with the condition it should is return be places on consent for disapproval. >> commissioner moore. commissioner sugaya >> can we actually add that last part into the motion legally. >> probably not. >> i don't see why not. >> their preconditioning. >> i don't want to get us into trouble for something that's illegal and - >> i suppose you wouldn't have to include that because there's a motion of intent that will bring it back to you kwosh or for a recommendation for disapproval and the motion as such so maybe we should attack that portion. >> whatever i want it to be clear to the public we're not trying to drag people back down. >> and it comes back with the same motion as today. >> there's been a full appearing on the matter it would have to be renotices and reposted and - so with that clarification is the second okay. i'll retake the vote. the motion is only to continue the matter indefinitely. commissioner borden. commissioner hillis. commissioner moore. commissioner sugaya and commissioner chair wu it passes 3 to 2 with commissioner johnck and commissioner moore voting against. that places you unde

commissioner sugaya voting against. congratulations. >> commissioner moore? commissioner dr. roscoe m. commissioner dr. roscoe m. >> congratulations. >> commissioner antonini? >>commissioner michael j. antonini: i just want to thank you the opportunity for your trust and for leading this commission. it's been an honor and i wanted to congratulate commissioner wu. i think where the city is now and where the housing is i can't think of a better commission to lead us in this next year. congratulations to you. thank you. i want to thank my fellow commissioners, >vice-president cindy wu: i think this is an exciting year. affordable housing has never been at the top of agenda in the same way, we are preserving what we have and building affordable housing and moderate income at all levels. i'm excited to working with you and look forward to this next year. >> excellent. shall we move on? city clerk: commissioners that will place you on item 9. commission comments and questions. commissioner antonini? >>commissioner michael j. antonini: i want to thank everyone for the flowers and thank you for a great job. briefly, the prostate surgery was planned and the second was unplanned. there was a blockage i h

i think we're fine. >> so that's the motion. >> that's my motion. >> commissioner sugaya. >> second motion. >> no sorry. >> is there a second. >> yeah. second. >> just on the accessibility issue this is somewhat unusual we're doing this ever building has some level of review beyond why we're calling this out every building has got to have those requirements. >> it's a ada requirement not every project goes to the mayors for review prior to our approval we look at the design with the mayor's office of disability for suggestions. >> right. >> i want to add a comment to that, please. >> since we have a second floor which is a retail story the accessibility to the plaza as well as to the store has to be one that is preliminary in thought at this time it's not. it is in the benefit to deliver the plazas to the public which is a little bit more than two privatized. commissioner sugaya >> yeah. i'd like a city attorney's opinion on the motion and failure of the motion. in order for the project to proceed the commission must see that it complies with the board foiling to allow for the demolition and reconstruc

i know the sooner we start subcontracting the thinking the better >> commissioner sugaya. >> yes. i'd like to support the idea of including the housing analysis for a higher level of forgettable and thirty percent is in the traffic signal but you know that motive because this is public we modesty want to push that a bit. in any case is that part of the analysis or getting into too much detail >> i'm going to let josh speak to that. >> that will be part of the analysis we'll look at the the various land use mixes is and fouthd the land use implementation we're grapple with the affordability. >> i assume that i mean one of the components is to boulevard i too 80 but can the rfp in n this case not structured to not boulevarding it. >> i believe ultimately we wanted a huge matrix if you do this and that what will happen. i believe a no bill alternative for each of the projects >> thank you. >> my thoughts i'm excited about this this is a very good first stem e step and what i'm most excited to look at the building of so far. i'm excited this is where transit is meeting planning and if

i think we're fine. >> so that's the motion. >> that's my motion. >> commissioner sugaya. >> second motion. >> no sorry. >> is there a second. >> yeah. second. >> just on the accessibility issue this is somewhat unusual we're doing this ever building has some level of review beyond why we're calling this out every building has got to have those requirements. >> it's a ada requirement not every project goes to the mayors for review prior to our approval we look at the design with the mayor's office of disability for suggestions. >

commissioner borden? >> i will move to approve. >> second. >> commissioners, if there is nothing further there is a motion and second to approve. border, hillis, moore, sugaya, commissioner fung and president wu. that motion passes 5-0. places you on item 18 for case no. item 18: 2013.1201c o. masry; 4155 575-91166 1701 haight street - at the southwest corner of haight and cole streets, lot 001 in assessor's block 1248 - request for conditional use authorization under planning code sections 719.83 and 303 to develop a wireless telecommunication services wtss facility for at&t mobility. the proposed macro wts facility would feature 122 roof-mounted panel antennas housed within individual faux vent pipes. related electronic equipment would be located on the roof and in the basement. the facility is proposed on a location preference 6 site limited preference, individual neighborhood commercial districtt within the haight street neighborhood commercial district, and 40-x height and bulk district. preliminary recommendation: approve with conditions continued from regular meeting of january 23, 20144 12341234 ,, 12341234 this is also a question for conditional us

i don't >> thank you. >> any additional any public comment? scenes. opening it up for questions. commissioner sugaya. you have a general question. under what we're being asked to consider under 16 it says downtown authorization that has a number of compliments does it mean if we vote on this is it similar to an action with a conditional use that runs that with the land but not specific to the current tenant. the action you're taking don't run with the land and not the tenant. however, the action i'm asking for is the downtown project 3089 authorization you are about to give you see those for projects in the downtown. typically those projects in the do not come

i don't >> thank you. >> any additional any public comment? scenes. opening it up for questions. commissioner sugaya. you have a general question. under what we're being asked to consider under 16 it says downtown authorization that has a number of compliments does it mean if we vote on this is it similar to an action with a conditional use that runs that with the land but not specific to the current tenant. the action you're taking don't run with the land and not the tenant. however, the action i'm asking for is the downtown project 3089 authorization you are about to give you see those for projects in the downtown. typically those projects in the do not come before you seeking the exceptions those this the the fully convalescent with the thirty 89 criteria so effectively the only component of this is the design review component so hypothesis wise they will have to go through the redesign process >> to a follow-up if apple were to construction that project and two years from now they ban it and someone comes next they can move in as it is. >> it is - >> they wouldn't tear it adopt. >> the levy build

. >> i move to authorize the approve 5 and 7 commissioner borden. commissioner hillis. commissioner sugaya and commissioner wu. smoomdz that places unanimously and item 6 will be heard as the first item under our regular calendar >> item 8 consideration of the draft minutes for january 9, 2014. >> is there any public comment on this item? on

commissioner sugaya. >> what was the address? it was 2853 broderick street. >> director ram. >> thank you. i wanted to report to you that we have the director of dbi tom and i and other department heads have concluded our response to the mayors executive directive on the housing we have 3 tiers the short term was for the department to implement immediately and we're directing staff to make those changes. the long-term changes and midterm changes we recommending they be taken up by the new mayors staff. and we have packet those spaet happy to share all the memos and we'll get those to you as the process moves forward. i i know that commissioner wu has expressed interest and we can have a different meeting on this >> commissioner wu. >> i think that would be great we can take our recommendation when the right time is when there's a work plan and we need a former hearing here for us and the public. >> i agree commissioner moore. >> did that mention the new task force. >> the mayor asked us to focus on what the departments not just the dbi planning but all the departments to help the production

commissioner sugaya. >> i'm curious open the comments made by sue hester and others with respect to be able to subscribe i don't know if that's the right word but being unified in a geographical area around my house is that possible with the system it isn't implemented now but could the system accommodate something like the block notification system with the visitations of cus and other things. >> it's similar any system that has steps and a workflow you can't have people to look at automated areas but it's a big areas it's not all automated it's not something we're going to put into the first feats but we'll continue to upgrade the system we're working on another contract that provides all the information in a map format you can get the relatives in your area but you're going to the system and asking for the information. >> right is that coming up in the necklaces year and it will hopefully launch in a few months those are the logical first steps and consider any subscription type of noticing. >> on the aider and abettor that was raised from sue hester looking at 3 notices could you create a system for t

planning etc., i would be interested to hear a little bit more of how particularly the first 2 items currently planning and citywide planning collaborate and overlap. >> commissioner sugaya. >> yes. let's see under 8 staff positions that are authorized or whatever but noted funded directly and the new 11 positions what's itself relationship between those two are they separate or 8 part of 11 or. >> they're separate so the 8 positions we got approved their unfunded they're dedicated to reducing the backlog and the 11 ftes in the following years is a combination to reduce the backlog as well as other citywide programs and housing policies so on. >> what you say they're good for 2 1/2 years are they city employees or if they are they become civil service and isn't that another issue if we run out of money. >> so they're to be appointed to permanent exempt because their funded for two year and a half years to work on the backlog they will be permanent exempt and normally over the course of the 2 1/2 years through attrition departments may absorb those people but their permanently exempt. >> thank you. i have one other question on the line item it's item f for the code clean
