president miguel: thank you. is there any other public comment on the items proposed for continuance? if not, public comment is closed. commissioner antonini: just a question on item 3, which is being continued, but the author is no longer on the board of supervisors. i guess the legislation continues on anyway. >> amy rogers, planning department staff. not necessarily. pieces of legislation that were sponsored by an outgoing board member may be signed on by any existing members of the board of supervisors. in this case, this legislation deals solely with district six, and the new supervisor for the district needs more time to consider whether she wants to sign on or not. commissioner antonini: it seems reasonable to continue it. if it is not, it will be pulled off the calendar, i assume. vice president olague: i would like to call mr. bustos back up. have you met with the project sponsor on this item? i was wondering what those dialogues have been like. >> we got notification within 300 feet of the property wher

[inaudible] what i wanted to say and reiterate what others have said is that we are actually really supportive. this is the condition that the property has been in for the last seven years. i think it is safe to say that our entire neighborhood is very happy about the prospect of the development of going forward. i wanted to mention briefly that we are supportive of the other comment, i am supportive of the others that have been made there is a lack of consistency. . we happen to see recently some [inaudible] at several meetings with the sponsors, we have been told -- i would like to ask that we at least continue.

president miguel: thanks. there is no other public comment, we will close this meeting and we will open a special hear iing at the auditorium at san francisco state college at 6:00 p.m. with the special hearing concerning the partner said project. >> thank you. secretary avery: we are adjourned for now. >> welcome to culture wire. we're going to take a look at one of the biggest and most significant public art projects today. ♪ on june 26, mayor newsom and other officials gathered at the hospital to cut the ribbon and welcome the public into a beautiful new state-of-the-art facility. >> 3, 2, 1.

president miguel: thank you. i have two speaker cards, tom radulovich and marilyn anene. >> thanks, commissioners. key have the overhead? would that be possible? great. just a few things. first of all in the recommendation that's before you, i really appreciate your staff, after coming here last week, taking a second look at this. i think it's a great set of uses and very inappropriate for the rc district. i think we came up with a great 21st century solution to the problem and thanks to everybody who worked on that. and i would fully commend it to you, and hopefully to the full board. we will put the uses behind us at least for the time being, we are ok with the continuance, as well. i think it's fantastic and tremendously important to the city. it's important for a few reasons, we would love your staff to take a closer look at two issues, one is the issue of what's called a snout house. i have an illustration here. this is a snout house. a snout house is a house that sticks its garage out toward the street and

commissioner miguel: excuse me, you are right. then mr. president, members of the commission, with a law firm and council of weinberg and rosenberg. i'm here today on behalf of the northern california carpenters regional council, and i'm here to indicate that the council is in strong support of the calaveras dam replacement project. i want to point out one of the aspects of the project that is particularly encouraging, which is there were some changes made since the draft to improve the conditions for steelhead, including, for example, new fish screens, especially associated with the divers and structure from alameda creek. a new fish ladder for the alameda creek drainage or diversion. additional water releases downstream to aid the fish, and more accurate monitoring of blows -- of flows from the dams. that is good not only for the fish but for the council, and we believe that it is an important project for residents and the integrity of the water system downstream, for the workers of san francisco. that is an excellent example of a projec

president miguel: i have to agree. i find it ridiculous that someone could not follow very specific instructions, that stop orders are totally ignored. this is a situation where people understand the language, where they can use a tape measure as well as other measuring devices, and still disregard it. you know, i have done minor projects myself, and i know whether or not a fits with my plan. at if i can do it, certainly a licensed contractor is capable of doing it. i see absolutely no reason whatsoever to approve this project as it is. commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: unfortunately, this is not the only instance. there was another house on ingleside terrace which was red tag for about three years and eventually got finished and looks good, but it was a big fight there. these additions are fine. a lot of places have these additions. had second- floor addition. this is not being done according to the plans. >> on that motion. commissioner antonini: aye. commissioner borden: aye. commissioner fong: aye. comm

commissioner miguel: thank you. >> you are welcome. commissioner miguel: is there any public comment on this item? >> good morning, again, commissioners. steve william representing the neighbors who live directly behind this building. we are asking that the matter be continued because the project sponsor has not complied with section 303e, which specifically states that any modification of conditions of an existing conditional use authorization must be treated as if it were a brand new application, and, in fact, that is what this is -- a new submitted application. number one requirement for a new application is a public outreach meeting where people who are going to be impacted by this conditional use authorization have a chance to hear what is going to happen in their neighborhood and an opportunity to comment on it, and i cited those in materials i submitted. i do not know why linda did not get it. i e-mailed it yesterday and then submitted hard copies as well. but i quoted those sections for you. absolutely clear that this applicati

president miguel: commissioner moore? commisioner moore: this is one of those types of lots where one would require guidelines which particularly address turning off a corner and turning a way to transition into the next zoning. that is the one thing i would be interested in. and you also in this corner have a very difficult bus stop which is very crowded, heavily used and that bus stop really doesn't look. so this would affect frontage of the building on the rezoned lot. but i think if we're moving and supporting the rezoning we could spend a lot of attention to areas that is a drenstial, institutional neighborhood and that sensitivity needs to be very clearly shown to us before we move ahead with visualizing of the building or anything else. >> if i may, just to quickly respond to commissioner sugaya's comment, the 40 square feet area, 40 feet would be allowed in up ther fillmore, n.c.d. would be seven years. >> perhaps later could we have some information on the -- we have that number now but like the height and that k

president miguel: speakers in favor of the dr requestors? >> good evening, members of the commission. my name is joseph butler and i represent the lloyd street neighbors. since the first hearing on october 14, we undertook to meet with the sponsors and their architect to study the issues that were of concern to your commission, specifically whether a three story building that would fit in this context could also accommodate two family- sized three-bedroom units without a variance. on this 25 by 100 foot standard size lot, nearly flat, although in san francisco is definitely considered a flat lot, it seemed to the commission and that a it seemed to the commission that a variants was difficult to justify it. this is the 12 foot pop out at the back. without a variance, it allows a 5 foot setback. when you combine that with an equal sized light well to 45 boyd's street by marion them together -- like welt to 45 lloyd street by -- light well to 45 lloyd street by marrying them together. mr. denuncio per person on the other side of the building. w

president miguel: next d.r. two minutes. >> commissioners, i would underscore the simple request for the minor modification that the project sponsor has agreed to. i notice they have not mentioned it, but we have an e-mail exchange here where it is clear that they were willing to accept this. the conditions being that the garage would not be modified. and he would withdraw his d.r. i am showing you that the dialogue took place and they are requesting that they take the d.r. she has three units affected directly on the main living room of those units. thank you. >> it is difficult when you have neighbors saying it will change our neighborhood. you are the city planning commission. you adopt a neighborhoods plan and deliberated. this used to beat a 50-foot height limit since 1972. you chose to raise the height of it by 5 feet. recognizing the fact that the city needs more housing and that makes sense to build higher density transit corridors. i think you have demonstrated that this building is essentially 40 feet

commissioner miguel: thank you. >> commissioners, the director of the central city sro collaborative. i want to be brief to allow other members of the community to speak, but i do want to say at the planning commission hearing 18 months ago for a top market, i think you saw how seriously neighborhood residents take planning issues brown liquor stores -- r.l. liquor stores in the tenderloin, and without the message was clear, so i hope from this, we can learn that these issues are really important -- how seriously neighborhood residents take planning issues are around liquor stores. ultimately, the planning decisions that come before you have to be your consequences. all we ask is to be treated fairly. people who live in the tenderloin, who work in the tenderloin, sometimes we have mixed emotions about the places we call home or where we were, but ultimately, we are passionate about the area, and we want it to change, and we want you to help us change, so we ask that you take these matters seriously. commissioner sug

. >> good evening, president miguel. the proposed project is for the construction of six off-street parking places. it is residential transit oriented. the previous building was deemed a hazard and emergency orders are demolished. the request was expressed a number -- the project has since then been redesigned. and also itemized of the changes. the sponsor is here today. it is below the height limit. it is consistent with the residential zone guidelines that require setbacks for the upper story. it is for suitable families. they provided below market rate units. they have been adequately addressed and there are no circumstances that warrant review of this project. the planning commission -- that concludes my presentation. president miguel: dr requester? >> good evening. i am the founder and organizer of the neighborhood coalition. i live across the street from the project. we wanted to embrace the new neighbor. our neighborhood in general, we believe this should work to continue our improvement with a spirit of openness

president miguel: thank you. >> good evening, commissioners. thank you for taking the time to hear us. my name is susan miller. i need -- i live directly across from the development. i have been on the streets since 1998. i raised a doctor for 12 years there. -- i raised a doctor -- a daughter for 12 years there. you all know this well. i understand, commissioner fong, that you were not here last time. as you know, all the properties on the street are late 19th century, nearly all of them. late 19th century victorians. the street is very steep, 24 degrees. it is a one lane of two-way street. most of the units on the street are two stories over a garage or basement. you can see the hill is quite steep. i want this -- i want to pass this to you so you can look at the streetscape and see what the property's book like and noticed the slope of the street -- see what the properties of look like and notice the slope of the street. the largest properties are on the main thoroughfares, scott and castro. there are a couple of larger properties on the blo

president miguel: thank you. >> with that, my time is up. i hope i was able to share a little bit of experience. president miguel: thank you. donald sambuke, mick lee, star child. >> good afternoon. my name is starke child. i am out which director of the local chapter of the -- my name is star child. i am out reach director of the local chapter of the libertarian party. i live across the street. in this crazy system of regulations we have, that makes me a stakeholder in this issue, although i would stand for the right of a business to do business in any case. in the case of ike's, i have to say it saddens me to see a business become so unexpectedly successful. when it first opened, i was going in there because i had seen several different businesses in that location fail. i thought, "great. a sandwich shop. they make good sandwiches." i tried to patronize them in the hopes they would stay open. i did not expect the would stay open. two months later, the word started getting out. pretty soon, i could not get a sandwich everytime. there was a

commissioner miguel: thank you. before we start in with anything else, commissioner moore had some materials, which i think we're nuts -- >> they were sitting here on the banister, but they are gone. >> i apologize. i thought those were boxed to return to the department. commissioner moore: and not before the hearing. could you return them to me please? they are not here anymore. >> they were returned to the department with the staff member that was here. just put it down right over there. commissioners, i will place this under general public comment, not to exceed 15 minutes. members of the public may address the commission on items of interest of the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction except for agenda items. your opportunity to adjust the commission will be aborted when the opportunity is reached in the meeting. each member of the public may speak for up to 3 minutes. i would like to take this opportunity for those of you who wish to speak on the calaveras dam it replacement project, the publi

president miguel: thank you. >> good evening. i purchased the house at 60 urbano drive in 2007, which had been remodeled. last summer, a hardwood floors in the basement family room: curled. it was determined that the concrete poured by mr. winn around the staircase to the basement crumpled and allow moisture to seep under the floor and calls the bubbling and curling. the hardwood flooring and the concrete floor basement cell walls -- some walls and basements there was had been removed and replaced. the cost of this repair was approximately $9500. mr. winn should conform to the plans originally approved by the planning commission for 456 urbano drive. thank you. president miguel: thank you. are there additional speakers in front -- in support of the d.r.? if not, project sponsor? >> i am the project sponsor. we had the approval to build the house with a total height of 25 feet 6 inches back in 2006. the actual building height is 25 feet 11 inches. which is about 5 inches higher than was approved. what we had to go through in order

. >> commissioner miguel? >> aye. so moved commissioners that resolution gets developed unanimously. we'll return to the regular calendar for item 9 case number 2010-.05 t an ordinance demanding planning code sections 1824 various code inspections between 124 and 249 to create comprehensive and street frontage controls. >> good afternoon, supervisors. emily rorges. this piece of legislation provides -- it's a very complicated piece of legislation. we were before you last month with part of it and we ask for a continuum so we could continue to work with the project sponsor and the legislative sponsor and the representatives. the department has had what we think were very successful meetings to better understand their intent and we've got some modification that we think will improve the legislation before you. stuff like that say that last month you heard requests for more community engage yt on this legislation and this is something that you may want to request from the supervisor as our time and resource for review of

commissioner miguel: thank you. before we start in with anything else, commissioner moore had some materials, which i think we're nuts -- >> they were sitting here on the banister, but they are gone. >> i apologize. i thought those were boxed to return to the department. commissioner moore: and not before the hearing. could you return them to me please? they are not here anymore. >> they were returned to the department with the staffme

commissioner miguel: thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm with the san francisco convention and visitors bureau, soon to be the san francisco travel association. one of our core directives is to support the long-term development from the destination. we are very much in favor of projects that improve the local experience. with that, i wanted to bring up a couple of points. the availability of hotels within walking distance is very attractive to meeting planners, and it is something we promote very heavily when we book business. transit services are going to be very attractive to visit is -- visitors attending events at mosconi center. we know the large percentage of our attendees attach extra days, and again, the location is going to be convenient, so this would help encourage visitors to stay longer. as i have often said, we know that 50% of every visitor dollar is spent outside of the hotel on dining and shopping, entertainment attractions, etc., so this would bring the desirable foot traffic to the neighborhood, which will create busi

commissioner miguel: thank you. is there additional public comment on this item? if not, public comment is closed -- ofh. >> thanks. i spoke earlier, but i just wanted to reiterate my full support of this project. we hope we will have some members working at the hotel in the coming years. commissioner miguel: thank you. is there additional public comment? if not, public comment is closed. commissioner moore: the public has listed many arguments of why they should support the property. i would like to add a few of my own. i would like to it knowledge the expansion delivering a building which is of great interest to me, maintaining the integrity of mission street is first. second is not to ask for more than what codes are already allowed. the fact that there might need to be a small exception is minor in comparison to what i believe the project will deliver. the public comments about what it does to the hotel industry, which we are currently discussing relative to a reduction in hotel rooms. it is interesting to me to

president miguel: thank you. project sponsor? >> the other microphone is the one you want to use. >> are you going to be able to hear me? >> we are going to hear you better through that microphone than the other one. >> todd mavis, project owner. after the october 14 hearing, we met with two of the three dr the quaestors many times and made numerous concessions. we did not meet with and because she never attended any of the meetings with us. she never made herself available. however, we did make numerous concessions in the building based on the requests we heard from you. we removed the stair penthouse. we submerged the stairs leading to the roof deck, leaving them exterior. we lowered the building height significantly from 40 feet to 36 feet to address the height and mass concerns. we accomplished this by changing two 12-inch joists to a seven-inch. we also did this by additional excavation and by reducing the ceiling heights from 9 feet to 8 feet 5 inches. we also added cornices to the front facade to make the building less box

president miguel: commissioner borden? commissioner borden: i understand that people wanted to express their opinions, but it was overkill if you ask me. what is frustrating it is i don't know what has been going on, but clearly people are not talking to each other in this process and it is extraordinarily frustrating. there are complications. this what, for whatever reason, is known that rh-3, which in my view is the totally wrong resigning. i-- totally wrong the zoning. i don't know how you would do three units on this lot. these are mostly single-family homes, and you try to put two units into a building where a lot of homes are single-family homes or small secondary units. the challenge for us, this whole thing -- i mean, first off, i don't want to navigate who said what. i cannot even begin to say how you cut this or cutback. it has got to the point where it is overly confusing and just not clear. the truth is the street is 30 feet. these people, they have to deal with this. the building, the matter how you slice it,
