to please explain some of these things to the japantown team. after going through a lot of trying to get people to show up, i was told that tom is the expert on this. he is the only one who showed up to help the japantown organizing committee. he was very helpful on some of the questions we had. one of the things you're discussing today is the limited corner commercial use and in japantown, i think the legislation reads currently, it is up to 1200 square feet with a bump of 1200 square feet would would be the old version, a total of 2400 square feet. the proposed is a base of 2500 and if you have to corners within one block, you can bump up an additional 1200 which means a maximum for building with two corners on the same block as 3750 or whatever the mouth is. -- math is. it might be a concern for existing businesses. maybe the size might affect current businesses depending on what might move in. that is an issue that still needs to be discussed. i was looking for some planning department person to help the organizing committee. i hope that cou

we will continue with japantown. commissioner antonini: we are voting for a and b together. >> the motion was for 12a. commissioner antonini: we will make motions of b. sounds good. commissioner moore: as we are voting both motions together, i am concerned about pushing out the boundary into what is in to planned jurisdiction. we're moving the boundary out toward the north point beach area. we are interfering with another planning area and another jurisdiction. i do not have enough feedback on understanding what this implies. commissioner borden: i am trying to understand, is that true what commissioner moore just said? >> we are not expanding them to a different area. i am sorry there is confusion. i was informed of this last night that the map we produced four that was incorrect. if you draw a line along columbus street and erase the portion that is in chinatown, that would be the new waterfront sud. i am sorry, washington. >> where are we on the 90-day clock? >> if i could jump in on washington-bred wyck, there wa

the plan -- the response in tr 75 addresses a comment about japantown parking. it is interesting. it is conclusion -- its conclusion is based on an unratified 2005 draft to japantown better neighborhoods document that this commission sent back to the community to refi. it is based specifically on data that was contest it in public comment at this commission when it was being heard, and when we looked at that data in detail, we found that, while, yes, on average the capacity of the garage was good, but at peak times when large numbers of customers would use japantown, the garage was at one under present capacity, and there were significantly decreased revenues. we understand parking as such is not an impact. but the impact of parking on the community, if there is a demonstrable adverse impact, is something that can be considered or should be considered. finally, various responses demonstrated the analysis did not understand or pay attention to actual conditions. a couple of examples. these common responses assert that they look at times when the san francisco unified school distric
