i live two blocks from the old location and half a block from the new location. a few years ago, there was a cafe, and they tried to put streets on -- i tried to put seats on the street. we appeal the decision and one to keep the tables and chairs of our street. -- we appealed the decision and won to keep the tables and chairs of our street, so our street was quiet. that changed after ike's opened. on weekends, we had people sprawled on the sidewalk eating food. i have had people sit on my window sill. it is ridiculous. now they will be a half block from where i live. i do not know if they realize how much business comes there. it is not from the neighborhood. there is no parking. our street is just an alleyway. there will be double parking constantly. it is a great business, but this neighborhood is too small for such a huge volume of people coming there. there is no parking. it is going to be a repeat of what happened before with people sitting on the sidewalk at all hours. it is just too much for the small neighborhood. we are not market street. we are a few b

i live one block away from the current location and proposed location as well. i have been living there for approximately a year. i have a great experiences at ike's. i have had many friends come in from out of the city. also, many friends from the neighborhood go to the restaurant on a regular basis. it feels like there has been a holder. i am looking forward to it coming back into the neighborhood. coming back into san francisco from a different city, it represents something special about san francisco. it is a small business, a small restaurant. it is unique, just like our little neighborhood within san francisco. i think that's sort of thing should be supported. i think turning this down since the wrong message to businesses and people in the neighborhood. that is all i would like to say. thank you. president miguel: thank you. is there additional public comment on this item? >> i am a resident of 35 sharron st, half a block up from the old location and half a block across the street from the new location. i have been going to ike's since day one. i was one

and they are available at the new location where they were not in other location -- the other location. we also do not sell the alcoholic beverages. we are a strict food and soft- drink restaurant. we previously anchored the block there, allowing other businesses to fill comfortable doing business on the block well before we got there. people said the bloc was cursed. people said the space was cursed. another sandwich shop opened up down the street. they felt that they would be able to run their businesses there as well. our customers come from all over the bay area, all over california, as far as australia and siberia. we have had people come in saying that they have come in -- we are bringing in additional foot traffic to the castro area. when they come in, they do come and buy chocolate from the chocolate shop we will be in having or one of the coffee shops close by. currently, the space is now on market, now, he gets the benefit of all the additional coffee sales instead of the local coffee shops that are just down the street from where i guess was and where the proposed new place

there are few locations. the permit holders found a suitable location, code plant, made the correct application, and the planning commission approved it. in reference to the letter from the police captain, with respect to the appellant, the planning commission it's a lot of letters from the police department. often when the police department is concerned about something, they will send somebody out. you'll meet the capt. themselves or somebody else from their station. but the police are involved with the planning process. this was not something that was exceptional or extraordinary. it was submitted to the planning commission. i think they had all that information and considered it and felt the project was not only code complying but also suitable for the location. the message about how to operate in such, does the board understands -- i guess the board understands the process. the planning department regulates the underlying land use and then the department of public health up -- the department of public hea

or any other location? >> with the san francisco state location, it is a smaller area. it is about 700 square feet. we may do preparation in the morning time, 8:00 a.m., 9:00 a.m., in this location, and transfer them to as a state. -- sf state. commissioner sugaya: does that change the nature of the use of this establishment? >> possibly. that was not part of the original proposal or part of the application when it was submitted. i think the sf state development was quite recent. at least i was not aware of it until today. typically, under the definition for self-service specialty food use, you are limited to preparing food for on-site sale. if you're preparing food for off site sales, that may be considered a manufacturing use. correct me if i'm wrong. we will have to review that if that is part of the proposal. commissioner sugaya: the direction i think we should go that at the moment since he said he is not going to do that, we should use it for storage and refrigeration of things that will be consumed during the rest of the week. then i think the cu is probably ok.

this is the perfect location. new ideas, new art and new organizations are born from the mission every day. we look forward to being part of this creative mix. we are also a part of the medical block full of doctors and dentists. one of our long-term goals is to include a center in the area for our members that provide acupuncture, herbs, massage and other holistic health practices. our other goal is to become a neighborhood institution that benefits the nonprofit center. there was recently a "the new york times" article about a medical grove in santa rosa created specifically to provide much-needed resources for artists and art activities. later we will testify more on this concept. we feel our dispensary would bring new businesses to the neighborhood and help fill in the high vacancy rates in our block between 19th and 21st street. for our members, it is strategically located between the 16th and 24th street bart station with the parking garage a block away on barlet and on the 14 and 44 bus lines. we do not ant

it is the convenient location for our area. if you get rid of hanc, the grocery stores will have to redeem and store. they do not want to do that. they do not have the resources to handle the demands. thank you very much. >> next speaker. >> i am so nervous. i am about to drop. happy holidays, commissioners. my name is marilyn. i have lived at the same residence for 40 years. i dealt with homeless encampments miles away from redemption centers. i understand this is not a democratic process. the people with all the power to make decisions regarding our park were all appointed by the mayor. there is no real accountability, except that you do his bidding, regardless of what is good for the community. in this unjust process, i am asking for your mercy. please don't close the hanc recycling center. it provides a valuable service to the communities. i have been recycling there since the 1970's. that was before it was green to recycle. closing the center won't get rid of homeless people in the park. the services on a park planned are

>> yes, and after looking at all of the locations, we decided that none of the locations was suitable, so we decided to locate the compressor unit in the existing garage, in the corner, and that is the corner that is furthest from any of the neighbors. that is at the corner of benton and andover. vice president goh: -- commissioner garcia: how is that different? >> it was the ground window. it was to the opposite side of the building. and, again, it is going to be enclosed in the closets, acoustically insulated, and hopefully reduce to 60 decibels or less, which is about the december reading without the compressor reading, and as far as the schedule, originally, we have the schedule for the weekdays to be between 9:00 a.m. and -- we would like to propose that she be allowed to do her work. commissioner hwang: can you put the picture of the site of again, please? >> sure. the original location was back here in the rear yard. the rear property line is here, and we have decided that the best location in the existing garage, -- commissioner hwang: who lives above the garage? tenants one?

you just need to have the location open. you are set to go. chairperson maxwell: welcome to land use. i am joined by supervisors mar and chiu. >> please make sure to turn off all cellular phones and pagers. any documents to be included in the file should be submitted to the clerk. items added to the supervisors agenda will be added to december 14 unless otherwise stated. chairperson maxwell: i do not believe we have in the committee reports. >> item 1, consenting to the redevelopment agency using $80,000 of federal grant money for the installation of public art in mthe hunters point shipyard area. item two, up rehabilitation of building 813 in hunters point. chairperson maxwell: this will allow us to accept $7 million -- more than $7 million of federal support for rehabilitation of the hunters point park land. the first will give us public art. the second will move us closer toward the goal of rehabilitating and reusing building 813, located on parcel to of the shipyard. ultimately, building 813 will house incubator space for cleaning technolo

and we are concerned that we be recognized as existing at that location. thank you. president peterson: i missed it when it was established. >> the center has been there since 1983, a state license to center, required to be licensed by the state. president peterson: thank you. >> good evening. my name is an wong. i live in the sunset district. >> she just moved to sunset. >> [speaking chinese] >> she likes the location of sunset, especially the schools. >> [speaking chinese] >> they have been working very hard to save money to move to sunset. they wanted to live in a better environment. >> [speaking chinese] >> she says the mcd will affect her a lot. >> [speaking chinese] >> a lot of -- they do not like the smell. they smell, those kind of plants. >> [speaking chinese] >> she has been planning to live in sunset for 25 years. she has been diabetic for 27 years. >> [speaking chinese] >> she would be scared to walk out after night time if it opens. >> [speaking chinese] >> she said it will affect and help people as well. for their next generation and their own health, s

the community garden is a bad location. bad soil, that sun -- bad sun, it is a bad location for a garden center. you knew that to begin with. it has been a very divisive issue for us in the neighborhood. if you wanted to divide the neighborhood, you have been very successful. this myth about a community garden being a great thing to replace the recycling center is wrong and it has divided us. president buell: thank you. >> good afternoon. my name and sean. i have lived in the area for 24 years. i live 100 yards from the recycling center. i am here to speak against the proposed change. i would like to address one of the negative comments that was made earlier about homeless people being attracted to the recycling center. that whole issue was actually created by a previous mayor of san francisco, who ordered a police sweep of downtown san francisco in the late 1990's. he took a homeless problem that was downtown and moved it into the park and into the neighborhoods. i think the positives of the recycling center far outweigh a

i started playing rent on the location. i met with supervisor chu and captain schmidt before applying for my permit to let them know why i chose the sunset district and what my purpose was, which was not to open up a pot club. this was to allow safe access to medicine for people in the sunset district. there are many disabled and sick people that cannot travel to get their medicine. the taraval location is on the streetcar line. it has been mentioned how easy it is to get on and go. i did it myself. very difficult. it was over two hours roundtrip to get downtown and back. if you are sick, that is a long time to be away from the toilet. a little about me. i have been paralyzed 20 years, in a wheelchair. i use medical cannabis myself for spasms, back pains. i am not taking oxycontin. that is how you end up becoming an addict on pain pills. this works for people. our family has been in san francisco for 50 years. we have a long track record in san francisco. we are locksmiths and security experts with a hardware store. we are

that are located out of the city. it is my understanding this storefront has been vacant for several years. it also provide a secure storefront, eyes on the street. one cannot argue you would have decreased security by having an occupied building with security cameras. one could argue it is an improved security situation to what would be there currently with a vacant storefront. three trading again, the commission did not find exceptional and extraordinary circumstances to deny the permit. they did condition the hours of operation monday through friday from 9:00 to 8:00. they said after six months they could request that the zoning administrator allow them to operate until 10:00 p.m. monday through friday. that is to be clear there. i am available for any questions. thank you. vice president goh: good to talk about -- could you talk about the muni stop being ada or not? >> i do not know. i would assume the testimony of the member of the public who said it is not a ramped stop. there are requirements that the facility

this is located in a playground to allow kids of all ages to interact with history. eric powell decided to integrate his artwork into an existing structure. his guard rail, depicting ships, vessels, and other themes will be a difficult element of the shipyard park overlook. -- will be a beautiful element of the shipyard park overlooked. the last artist, webster, is going to create a sculpture called "butterfly girl." it is approximately 12 feet tall. it is a figure of the young rock-jumping girl and speaks to the regular activities of children and families in the community. the installation of the artwork is funded through a u.s. department of commerce's economic development grant which it requires a 10% match of funds invested in a project. this 10% match will be provided from rent revenues in the product area. 90% of project costs will be reimbursed by the grant agreement with eda. the firms will advance money to play -- to pay invoices which are subject to later reimbursement. the project of fills all requirements for adoption under the california health and safet

on behalf of the center for children and families located on vincente street, i urge you to consider revoking the permit for medicinal cannabis dispensary at 2139 taraval street at 38 avenue. many schools are situated very close to the proposed site. it serves as a thoroughfare for students on their way to and from students and is also a popular destination for students for lunch. surely a site not in such close proximity could be found as a dispensary. please reconsider issuing the permit for the mcd at the taraval street location. thank you. it president peterson: thank you. next speaker, please? >> hello, i have been living in sunset my whole life. i have graduated from the public schools and am currently a junior at sf state. i have worked at the beacon center and with park and wreck, both egms to -- both gems to our district. i live with my mother and two brothers. i love this neighborhood with a great passion. i have come here to ask that you did not discriminate against sunset residents who want to stay in their own districts without having to drive. i find it " cannot allow m
