parking is that a in particular we have densely the about the and one of the things that makes it liveable is not having a lot of cars coming in and out. it actually is helpful to have one or two on site there's no parking at the curb there's meters or, you know, it's not the kind of place to get residential parking and if you don't have a car anyway people have to come and load and unload contractors and guests they have to have a place for awhile. garages for leasing for those people who have cars and that's a good thing to have off site parking for that. but for future reference 1 or 2 a good. my main concern is the facade. i'm really surprised that the conservatism staff thoout thought that would fit in. the retail space is suitable to the rest of the neighborhood but this design doesn't the consist of light and dark it reminds me of the strange projection like awnings reminders me of the thing that was designed to be built up in the other historic district the one that's not on the national register. it should be continued otherwise the e m r is a bad idea this is steve tobaccoers ana

and finally liveability as we're creating for space in the street corridor we think this is an opportunity for community spaces to arrive. the example here i think most clearly articulates this idea it the mosaic gardens it was turned into a community garden and this is to interact. we have benjamin caldwell who helped put this together this is an articulation of how to make that into a green corridor. this is transportations and an opportunity for place making and urban habitat and greening. so the project itself we have a large number of key things. first of all, we developed a network it's in the plan document but also a separate handout it's one hundred and 15 miles across the city. we created a couple of tools thirty how to implement it and the community resource list i'll talk about those pr anticipate finally we worked in 6 neighborhoods to a kind of take the implementation tool kit and apply them to certain parts of the network. so with the community based project we held 2 hundred meetings a lot of open houses and i think one of my favorite all-time of my entire 9 years in the pla

the legislation has broad support by the bay area report and the lgbt 0 democratic club and liveable city and by spur. colleagues i'm sure you're aware of we have a housing affordability countries are ♪ the upper castro area other than the projects along market street we've added very little housing in the neighborhood. we know that in san francisco between 2003 and 12 our population increased by 75 thousand people and we have 18 thousand additional unit in the city. many residents in the castro are very understandly concerned they maybe priced out of thecation electro for people who have called the neighborhood home and wondering if they can stay or if they'll be able to find housing if they lose the houser. the castro is welcomed new residents and people coming to san francisco from all over the country and world and particularly young people. those people as well are having trouble finding you housing. the legislation before us today will incentivize new in-law units in the castro. in-law units colleagues are probably the most affordable type of number one subsidize housing their

representing san franciscans for liveable neighborhoods the staff has acknowledged the court ordered avoid it's certification and approval the housing element but those set asides vice president been made and the proposal considering a certification of the housing element before the board of supervisors sets aside it's motion where in the board approved the certification and then the commission will certificate the revised eir and the commission will set aside it's prior certification so it won't be done prior but simultaneously so the city wants to set aside the certification of the eir at the same time as it certifies the certification without the eir or the boards approval those procedures are inadequate it's not before the commission reconsiders the approval and recertification so the procedures and sequencing have not appropriate so we ask the city comply with the court sdithsdz before this commission considers the certification of the reapproval of elements and in addition the responses to comments are not out so the final eir is not completed the court ordered a consideration

. >> thank you scott wiener and superstitions i'm to him with the liveable city i've lived in the deploring for 20 years i'm happy to see this legislation moving forward. we're finally joining other west coast cities to solving the housing criticize and santa clara and santa monica have lead the way they're using the existing materials and saving the cost of the materials. they can be low-cost we have to comply with the housing code, etc. so we know know this is going to be a super low-cost but this will allow us to see how difficult it will be to use the buildings that exist we're happy to look at a pilot. this housing is rent controlled the only way to add them is to increasing the rent controlled housing. the castro make sense it's walkable and it has a strong neighborhood character so we can add with or without alternating the appearance of the neighborhoods and preserve the historic buildings in the neighborhood. i say we support rome the size unit for two reasons one it would be is a ashamed to have seven hundred feet plus secondly, the other way to make units is to have housemates an

robin and katherine roberts >> rally i'm robin i'm on the board of liveable city our executive director is unable to attend so he asked me. we have a letter sent by tom this morning i want to reiterate a specifically said. the ad u adds new unit without altering the existing buildings and the organization d us are cost effective they add new housing within existing building materials and reduce the materials that would be having used for the construction of new units. as i have some word of my own as a san franciscan who attend some meetings and i volunteered for meetings. it's been difficult to add housing stock to san francisco and this is a terrific way to be able to do that and conserve the castro beauty and preserving the population need we have >> thank you. next speaker. >> dprooets commissions i'm kathy republican i live over the hill from clayton and market in coal valley this is a huge issue in my neighborhood as well. i'm really, really thrilled supervisor wiener is introducing this pilot legislation that i hope will work out in the castro and my deeply held wishes it will sp

currently we are trying to make the two units liveable as a family. >> any further. okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner antonini >> i agree with the project sponsors architect i think it's unfair to trap a project in changing legislation and they took our advise we mad provisions to the proptsz in accordance we wanted to make the studio into a bedroom and decrease the main unit. we should just it on that ramp the present legislation e legislation. even so there's a case to be made for approval of the promise even through the new legislation. although this isn't a factored it's a different situation it was 2 unit in 1980 and increased in 1999, and cutting down on unit to accommodate families especially to extend families. the only wonsz ones you're going to invention is the owners they've made it clear they're to live there and have their in-laws up in the upper unit. so there are also it's and then the affordability issue comes up it's something that supervisor avalos who sponsored this i'm not sure i voted for it but affordability is part of the meas

good afternoon tom executive director of liveable city. we participate with the city to take over nonprofit use. one thing i can tell you 0 we feel the most dangerous thing you can do with public space is fill it with face moving cars but the city makes you jump through the hoops that's how wild the city gets. we encourage the truly public and civic uses of public spaces is good. i like what he hear here. i think you need to do a lot of work to convince the stakeholders this isn't only about privatization only to distinguish this is a public uses with a civic use vs. the privatization of public spaces. one thick i'd like to talk about part of the problem you have is p zoning it means public it's from the city hall from the plazas like plaza it's universities and schools basically anything this is for public use. it's hard to draw a set of controls for the use when it's got to cover all kinds of different uses some are open space uses and buildings that are owned by public entities we might want to distinguish between open space uses and ot
