commissioner miguel: thank you. with respect to the neighbors' conditions, i think that if we work from the bottom up, the review we're seeing seems to be a consensus to report back to planning staff in one year and during that period the neighbors have every opportunity to contact staff if there are issues. right. so we'll inchewed that i think and -- we'll include that. there hasn't been a motion yet. i am just going through this and somebody can do that. as far as plans being able to be reviewed, there's always this issue between the planning department and the building depa sanchez, in planning. we could also add a voting station. -- a routing station for us to check the consistency. commissioner sugaya: could we include that also? i know of certain situations where plants have gone to the building department and building department has basically taken control of it, so to speak, and did not follow the plans approved by the commission. i think the sound insulation is clearly marked on the plans we have posted on

president olague: commissioner miguel. vice president miguel: a couple of questions. there was a request regarding proper notice and times of notice regarding this hearing, this postponed hearing. could you review that? >> yes. again, nothing was easy with this case. the 311 notification was issued in december which expired in janua january. the variance was scheduled to coincide with the ending of the d.r. filing date. so that if a d.r. was filled the variance wouldn't be heard by the zoning administrator and could be heard concurrently before the planning commission and zoning administrator. a hearing was scheduled for march 17 of this year to hear the d.r. because the variance item was pulled off the calendar, it was never appropriately continued to that date and required a second notification in order to be properly noticed to be considered by the zoning administrator. coupled with the intense schedule and closing of hearings by the planning commission, the first available hearing date was may 12. so, i asked the commission secretary to hold that date with the int

vice-president miguel: although i was out last week what they like illness, i did watch the commission entirely on tv. i have also had meetings regarding cpfc and chase bank. i am sure all of the commissioners of the lead article in the paper regarding walgreens. i refer to them as a grocery store, not a retail pharmacy. if icy any official papers i come in for walgreens or cvs as a retail pharmacy, i would be tempted to throw them out as inaccurate. >> we have a large event happening in san francisco next week called powow. it does not have anything to do with planning, but it does with the future of san francisco. this brings buyers into san francisco. they are bragging wholesale buying into the united states. it should be good for the city. everybody who represents san francisco will have an opportunity to be a host member. commissioner sugaya: to follow- up, powell street and sutter walgreens is in the process of restocking and read shelving the back of the store to have food items. >> even sushi? commissioner sugaya: i did not see that yesterday. >> i was going to ask if the city

president olague: commissioner miguel. vice-president miguel: yes, i agree that this is an anomaly. certainly during the time i've been on the commission and for the 20 years before that when i interacted with the commission and sat through many a hearing, i had never heard of this particular condition being placed on anything. and it also, as the city attorney and commissioner borden mentioned, absolutely no relationship to parkmerced whatsoever. this is a problem that occurs in mixed-use buildings, rental and ownership. it concerns problems regarding condo fees. it concerns problems regarding general maintenance. it concerns problems regarding financing. it is something that most property owners do their best to avoid because of these types of problems. there are actually some people who look for condos who would not buy in a building that was this type of mixed use. my reading of the law on it -- and i am not an attorney -- is that it's unenforceable anyway. and i think that is in this instance. and i think that goes to the entire picture. i would be in support of it. i think it'

. >> commissioner miguel? >> i think to continue this item, i will probably vote to do so because of the commissioner, a supervisor's request. the information that i received from his office yesterday with the request seemed very little to do with the project. it seemed more to do with a citywide concept. i am not going to discuss that now because i have some very definite feelings about that, which in my mind would take that concept somewhere between five and 10 years into the future. and i can detail that one. but in the interim i will support it. commissioner alan: -- commissioner o laly: commissioner more? >> we have five thursdays in june or can we do a special meeting? or do we not do that for a specific project. i'm posing a question rather than saying that's what we need to do. >> just a couple of things about that. if you want a special hearing you probably want to hear more projects. i'm scheduled to take some time thauf week. we base our calendars on your calendars. >> so june 30th would be the only

president olague: commissioner miguel. vice president miguel: i'm not in favor of a continuance, either. when in business myself prior to my retirement, there were throughout california at least a dozen businesses in the same field with the same name. some of which had excellent reputations. some of which had lousy reputations. and so i'm very familiar with that type of situation. and i have heard nothing that would connect the project sponsor with this or any other particular business than the ones he stated that he has run. so i'm not in favor of continuance on this one. president olague: commissioner borden. commissioner borden: i just want to state for the record i'm not at all judging the project sponsor in a poor way. and i'm not suggesting that there's anything untoward in that. at the same time, once we let these things go forward, they're a lot harder to undo than they are to do. and i would think that if everything is copacetic then a continuance would allow more comfort in the community and then everything would

i wish you much success. >> commissioner miguel? commissioner moore: i also support the application. i just want to add on to -- oops, the mic wasn't on. add on to commissioner borden's comments that i, too, would like to see you open until midnight. aall restaurants in san francisco close too early. and there are some of us because of wishes or circumstances end up trying to go at quarter to 10:00 to get something to eat and they don't want you in the place. president olague: commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: you all come down to my namehood and go to shalamar. it's a little more down home than these guys. i support the application but i have one question because it has been raised by someone who opposes you in a letter. he raises a trash issue, trash removal issue. could you enlighten us a little bit more about that particular -- i don't know if it's a problem but he's raying it as an issue. >> we don't have a problem with trash removal. we had conversation before with neighbors as most restaurants do at some point because

commissioner miguel. commissioner miguel: we're getting mixed reviews on this and i understand it. the project sponsor will probably take umbrage at my characterization that this is an oversized latin american k.f.c. but that is basically how the public is looking at it to be very truthful from the comments i get. this is a typical situation of people who do business in other areas very successfully and come into san francisco and do not for better or worse understand the planning culture here. i think you were taken by surprise and the scrutiny which we look at the projects and that goes for commercial, residential or anything else. in my opinion you started off on the wrong foot because you didn't do things right. you didn't consult with the right people and didn't go directly perhaps to the supervisor's office which would have been the first stop. and i would like to put the condition back in a year's time as to if the appearance to the conditions and going to in effect give a warning if i can put it this way. if i am looking at your web correctly and the manner which you operat

olague r commissioner miguel? commissioner miguel: just one more brief comment on the shadow. basically ms. hester is correct that the project, however fantastic it should be, is the consideration. it is whether or not there is a significant adverse impact. there isn't. that is the standard i look at. that is the first standard and i will move adoption of the motion and our packets findings that the net new shadow from the project is not adverse. >> second. olague r commissioner moore? commissioner moore: i just wanted to comment on the building it and i think it does a lot of skillful things from diven shating the building to the -- of differentiating the streets and being in the vernacular and it's a larger building and still breaks the building down into the different building expressions and very much like stepping down and transitions to the lower buildings and i do not have any suggested modifications to the contrary and would like to differ from commissioner antonini's observations that this building in it has the design which speaks to a complete thinking it through an

. >> commissioner miguel? commissioner moore: start over again because i'm going to move to continue. i will explain why and hope to get a second. i'm -- >> second. >> i'm not necessarily satisfied with the original plan. i'm not saying the present plans are the improvement to happen. i think waiting until september and having the parties forced to work together knowing the tenor as a commission as it is, is probably the way to go. my biggest problem is this, is someone who is in the field basically altering plans after their approved. i mean, that just wrangles me no amount and i don't know how to punish that because that is one of the worst violations that can possibly be revealed in front of this commission. so i'm not worried about the time delay the least. what i'm worried about is whether or not this building which is so prominent, which is one of the seven entrances to the presidio, in a major area of san francisco, appears correctly. and that's the important thing, as far as i'm concerned. i'm going to

president olague: commissioner miguel. commissioner miguel: yes. first of all, on the additional shadow, it does not in the manner in which it's legally compu computed take into account the trees, and i always have a problem with shadow on shadow as if you are counting it twice. as far as the traffic analysis is concerned, this was a former service station, so if you want to talk about traffic, you're reducing traffic no matter how you go on this. and if you are talking about the changing patterns of how people work, go back to what some in this room remember as the downtown plan and before. all of my friends and acquaintances who worked in what have then the downtown that was covered by that plan, the vast majority of them lived in the peninsula in marin and commuted into the city. that has also changed. a lot of those people have moved back into the city and the traffic patterns have changed. they're going to change ef five year. it's not going to be constant. this building is not being built in five-year increments of consideration of traffic pa

vice-president miguel: aye. president olague: aye. >> so moved, commissioners. that passes 6-1. you are now on item 15 for 333 baker street, condition for authorization. >> good evening, at department staff. this proposal is to permit horizon -- verizon to put antennas on the subject property. at this time, the department recommends approval of the proposal. i am now available for any questions you may have. >> thank you, project sponsors. >> good afternoon. i am representing verizon wireless. i want to thank staff for all of the hard work they put into the report. verizon wireless is formally requesting the existing use permits. this is the parcel on which the development is proposed is on baker street. it is owned by mercy terrace llc. they currently own the property. the housing community is providing subsidized housing for senior residents. it is in the haight-ashbury neighborhood. it is surrounded by the residential neighborhoods. the 1.725 acre parcel is flat and has 158 housing units with a total of 150,044 square feet. the bui

vice-president miguel: that is a large space. i knew that space as a jazz club and well before that. there was billiards in that direct area. after late nights out, a group of us often went into mike's pool hall for many, many years. san francisco was once one of the major billiards locations in the united states with many international tournaments being played here. my father was a billiards player. i tried in could not do it. i gave it up for an occasional game every once in awhile. there is a billiard parlor somewhere close to arguelo that has players that practice there and teach their that win international tournaments. a little bit more of that type of old action coming into the city, there is nothing wrong with it. to activate one of the many dead spots in the neighborhood. i moved to approve with conditions. >> second. commissioner fong: this is not another case of activation and bring some light into some dark areas. my first job was valet parking cars when the broadway was in its heyday. there were people out. you could

president olague: i heard commissioner miguel made a motion, i didn't hear a second. commissioner moore made a motion and i don't hear a second. commissioner moore: i would take the d.r. and ask that we not decide on this building today, that both parties come together in a more discretionary and appropriate response to the architecture and work on a different building solution. i am not prepared to -- commissioner antonini: that might be more properly continuous. commissioner moore: yes, thank you, i'm getting tired. commissioner antonini: i will second your motion for continuance. commissioner moore: yeah, let's continue it and give it some instructions what have we're expecting. two months. 10 weeks, i don't know. >> i second it. july 20. president olague: july 28. it may not come back to us if they're able to resolve it. that's the goal. commissioner sugaya: i think there's a number of different -- no, no, i think there are various opinions about what the neighborhood character is or isn't and i think that there's been some terms used as far as looking at the stre

was talking about clarification of restaurant tabs, i would remind the commission that commissioner miguel was talking about retail -- retail pharmacy, what ever. it encompasses all uses from food to pharmacy to our hardware to whatever. i think we need some guidance on that. president olague: yes, i think we had talked about that. getting a work item on those issues that relate to retail. commissioner antonini: you are asking for what the existing definitions are and what types of uses they encompass? commissioner moore: and why are we using types that we are not familiar with, i.e., retail, pharmacy, cvs, note there are others coming up with larger makes this -- mixes. commissioner borden: i think if we were going to talk about that, what we want to understand is the impact on different types of retail. not every type of retail has the same kind of impact. i think if we were going to bring down the conversation, that would be the more interesting thing to have. obviously, if you have pharmaceuticals, maybe there is a different impact you have been a clothing store. i do not know. i am ju
