commissioner miguel: i just wanted some clarity. he said removing signs would be required within 90 days of a person going out of business. who is responsible? scott sanchez: ultimately, responsibility is the property owner. commissioner miguel: it should be made pretty clear, so there is no confusion. as too limited conforming uses, that in general seems pretty much ok. on route signs, we have in san francisco a number of what i call historical, although i think that term is not the one necessarily being used, route signs on buildings, some of which are quite large, some of which are at least 100 feet. i am trying to understand where the legality remains with these businesses that may have been gone 50 years. the basic science structure is still historically part of that building. -- sign structure is still historically part of the building. >> signs are not part of the use. i would have to consider -- commissioner miguel: i am thinking of the baker hamilton building. >> can you come to the microphone and identify yourself? scott s

president fong: commissioner miguel? president miguel: i prove item 2 f with the amendment as stated by staff. president fong: second. >> on the motion before you for approval with the amendments offered by staff earlier today -- >> roll call] >> on item 2g, zoning map ht 01. the southeastern areas of the development sites from 84 e to 92. and one portion in 136 e hite portion. commissioner antonini: move to reclassify zoning height and bulk, two areas of zoning map h-201, 1 southeastern area of the development site from 84 e to 92 e and another portion from 84 e to 136 e. commissioner miguel: second. >> on the motion of approval of the zoning map reclassification -- [roll call] that motion passed 4-2. and finally, on the request for conditional use authorization with the modifications offered by staff earlier today, -- president fong: commissioner miguel? commissioner miguel: i move conditional use authorization with the amendments made by staff earlier today. >> second. >> on the motion to approve the conditional use a

president fong: commissioner miguel? commissioner miguel: i attended an interesting meeting of the cuyooga improvement association out in far eastern san francisco. the basis of the meeting was, basically, a two and three medical cannabis dispensaries. the chief did an excellent job. he is already in touch with two and has an appointment with the third. it was a very good discussion. a large attendance for it. they asked questions as to how the planning commission views it and everything and it went very well. there was also something else that comes before us from time to time. this week, the community leadership alliance, we are discussing liquor company -- a liquor permits. antti abc enforcement -- and that abc enforcement officer. and her assistant, they were there and work for the number of restaurant and bar owners. there's a great deal of community engagement and information going on. hopefully, that will help lighten our load as we go along. spur had two deals this week that concern us. one is a series of three o

commissioner miguel: i would support that. in looking at the plans, in considering them in light of department comments, i think we should very definitely include an emphasis has to department conditions. the way i am looking at it, the frontage on both sides shows fabric curtains, single-way mirrors, which i presume is to look out at the street and not be allowed to look in -- it is to totally sealed it off, totally against what a retail establishment should look like in a retail area. and i want to emphasize the department recommendations in that regard. it should not be a sealed off area whatsoever. i think that is the way the department views it as well. certainly, there should not be any consumption on site. i see no medical reason for consumption on site. i agree with the comments that were made earlier, whether the medical cards could be obtained by anyone by asking and paying a very minimal charge to those who issued them. and yet i know a number of people who use, because of medical reasons, cannabis very effectively.

commissioner miguel: aye. commissioner sugaya: no. vice president wu: no. president fong: aye. that motion passes 4-2. may i call item 2a? the proposal to adopt the environmental quality act. is there a motion? commissioner antonini: i moved to adopt the findings. >> second. >> it is for adoption of the findings of the california environmental quality act. commissioner antonini: aye. commissioner borden: aye. commissioner miguel: aye. commissioner sugaya: no. vice president wu: no. president fong: aye. >> the motion passes 4-2. i will turn over item 2b to you. item 2b is the ferry park request to consider jointly with the rec and park commission to establish a cumulative shadow. i will call the roll if there is a motion. commissioner miguel: i moved to adopt the item. >> second. >> there is a motion for adoption. the establishment of a cumulative shadow limit. comm aye. commissioner borden: aye. commissioner miguel: aye. commissioner sugaya: no. vice president wu: no. president fong: aye. that motion passes. >> we are still on item 2b and we need a motion f

commissioner miguel: thank you. president fong: is there any other public comment on the item of continuance? commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: i'm going to move to keep it at the 26th for now. now, for one thing, you can always continue something further, but you can't bring it back. this is a hybrid, because what you've got is a mandatory discretionary review for merger, and then we've also piggy backed on to that, the d.r. from the d.r. requesters, and i'm not sure about the whole noticing issues. when it's a mandatory d.r., i don't know that for -- that you have any noticing requirements or maybe not as much as you would. maybe mr. lindsay can tell us a little bit about that. >> it wouldn't require the preapplication process, but it does require the regular 311. >> but not a preapplication meeting. so in any case, i think it's always better that maybe the two will work the thing out by the 26th of april and we won't actually have a d.r. that could always happen. if there is one, it could be continued

seeing none, commissioner miguel? commissioner miguel: i move the items -- i'm sorry. >> public comment. >> the 2735 matter. april 26 was the debt set by the department. but on account of our calendars, we cannot all be there that date, but we very much appreciate it if we could extend either to june 7 or june 21, which are both dates that we are able to make. all of us are here, by the way, there are two separate d.r. applications and two of our neighbors also. >> commissioners, in addition to the d.r. applicants, you need to make sure that the project sponsor can be able for that date, and staff is available for that day. and i'm not sure who's here today or not. i would suggest that if the project sponsor is not here and we cannot confirm with the project sponsor and the d.r. requester that you continue it to the date proposed and staff will work with all parties to come up with a date that all parties can be available for, and on the 26th of april, you'll continue it to whatever date they come up with it. and only

commissioner miguel: i was going to make a motion. i would move the department recommendations with two specific comments. one on the schenic sp -- scenic special sign district, that time and enforcemetnt be covered. and maybe refer to political science for consistency. the other -- i quote from your summary. in the scientific natural life -- the sign's natural life, i think that is such a nebulous phrase that i do not know how you would deal with it. i do not know, trying to think quickly on it, how else you might defy it. however, i do feel that the comments of the zoning administrator, which i appreciate -- i know that our by the book. you have both major and minor firms who decide, after 100 years of business, to change their logo. come on. it is the same business. it is the same business name. they have changed a logo. it is not uncommon. in fact, some of the major firms in the world that deal with logos are based here in san francisco. that should not constitute doing away with a sign, in my mind. changing colors should not do a

commissioner miguel: second.ni: aye. aye. -- commissioner borden: aye. commissioner miguel: aye. commissioner sugaya: aye. commissioner moore: aye. vice president wu: aye. president fong: aye. >> the motion passed unanimously. you are now on item 10 for 1245 south van ness avenue. >> good afternoon, commissioners. brittany bendix, planning department staff. this is a request for a conditional use authorization to pursue a retail grocery store doing business as fresh and easy. this is within the nc-3 and rh-1 districts, 40-x/50-40-x height. this will divide into a grocery store and a commercial retail space. this involves removal of approximately 16 off-street parking space, and we will reconfigure the law to provide 45 parking spaces, bicycle spaces, and to improve traffic flow. this was originally scheduled on february 23. the commission moved to continue this item to today at the request of supervisor campos, to allow a project sponsored to meet with opponents in the hope a compromise could be negotiated. my un

commissioner miguel: truthfully, i think that is pushing it. i think that is really pushing the envelope very, very much. if you change the name, if you change the business, as i discussed before, that is one thing. but just changing the modernization, perhaps color, that sort of thing -- that, to me, is pushing the envelope. i think that is incorrect, very truthfully. the other thing, the last line -- the department says the provision should exempt temporary signs for events, such as embarcadero market. i agree with the department on that. and want to make sure in the same manner there is on political science their responsibility in timeliness for removal. that should be in there. -- political signs, their responsibility in timeliness for removal. that was true of political science. four elections down , those are still up there. -- four elections down the line, those are still up there. commissioner moore: temporary barriers on our light posts, is that under this as well? >> i think that is department of public works. this is just for private

seeing none, commission miguel? commissioner miguel: i move adoption of the draft minutes of january 26, february 2, 9 and 16th. >> second. secretary: thank you, commissioners. on the motion for approval of the draft minutes of january 26, february 2, 9 and 16 -- [roll call vote was taken] [motion was passed unanimously] secretary: draft minutes have been approved. you're on item no. 5, an informational presentation on the eastern neighborhoods transportation implementation planning study, en trip. >> good afternoon, commissioners, i'm john sway, staffed with the department's plan implementation group and i'm going to be joined shortly by timothy papdrao to provide a short update on the eastern neighborhoods transportation implementation planning study work going on. the area plans adopted by the commission in 2008 identified further transportation planning work to support land use change and create complete neighborhoods. shortly after the plan adoption, a team of city agencies including the planning department, sa

she is miguel antonio maureen. couple months old when his mother said she dropped him off at his godmother's house. the next morning the godmother and baby boy were both gone. champion maureen is the mother. she called the police, they sheftd and dropped the case two years later. the amber alert said they never got an alert on baby miguel. but his mom prayed and prayed for years until just a couple days ago when she got this call that he had been found. she joins me now from houston, texas. my goodness, keep in mind, 2004 was the last time you saw your baby boy. you get this phone call two days ago. albany, describe it for me. >> it was a very heart-wrenching thing because i hadn't heard anything since 2004. that's the last time i saw him or heard anything come out of his mouth. the last thing i heard him do was cry. so it was heart-wrenching. i was happy, scared because i don't know if he was abused, i don't know what happened, but i was relieved that he was alive. >> what were you told specifically in that phone

commissioner miguel: i would give you an example, that is a conflict of interest. i cannot talk about it. commissioner moore: i felt that the ethics and sunshine training was actually good. it was straight to the point. i appreciate that it was held. there were parts of it which i was not quite sure why we had to listen to it, but that is an altogether other question. i will last our attorney about that later. it was otherwise a very good meeting. >> there were two things i attended this week that i thought were relevant to this commission. the first one was the chamber of commerce breakfast, which was focused of course of growth in san francisco. in particular, this was turkestan tech growth and the numbers of people that these companies are looking to hire to bring in san francisco. what struck me was the fact that their hiring intelligent, imaginative people with ingenuity, and part of that hiring allure is the lifestyle of san francisco. beyond just housing, schools, parks, athletics -- whatever it is, it all comes together. this commission is one where we had

miguel, just sort of a painful thing to watch, just to hear all of that.u've had a chance to talk to a lot of people about the trayvon martin case and whether they think given the incredible shortage of police that you've been talking about and the rise in their own justice, could that happen there? >> reporter: well, there certainly is a lot of anger and frustration. the group that we talked to doesn't think that they would ever, you know, bear arms and go out and do policing like that. but i will tell you, in investigating the situation here in flint, there is plenty of frustration to go around. there are lots of groups out there doing their own community policing and it is legal to carry a weapon here openly or if you have a permit, to carry it concealed. a lot of those groups do do that. they are in their neighborhoods constantly watching them, letting people know in those neighborhoods that if they are thinking about doing criminal behavior, that they're watching and they could pay the price. >> miguel, thank you very much. reporting from flint, michi

>> miguel in washington, thank you. for more perspective on this, we turn to the military analyst barry mccaffrey who joins us from washington. general, taken by itself this is a horrible crime. when you add in other embarrassing and horrible missteps by u.s. forces over there, what's the impact to this country and to fellow soldiers? >> well, it's hard to say. 17,000 killed a decade -- killed and wounded and a decade in combat, the country has grown tired of the war. karzai is a loose cannon. he's throwing kerosene on the glowing embers of this fire. i think we're likely to mark this as a turning point in the war. will the american people continue this, it's going to disappear? the administration is in trouble. they have to get through the presidential election and not have it unravel on them. but i think we're going to start heading for the door. . >>> another big story, the continuing late winter warming trend with several hundred records broken today. the weather channel's kelly cass is tracking it for us. good even

our report from nbc's miguel miguel almaguer. >> reporter: the base also a troubled past. this is where the d.c. sniper who murdered ten in 2002 was once stationed. four soldiers convicted in the 2010 murders of three afghan civilians were also based a lewis-mcchord and the 29-year-old iraq veteran alleged to kill a park ranger on new year's day also called this base home. one soldier says multiple employments are taking a toll. >> i don't think they were ready for ten years in war. >> reporter: last year, 12 soldiers here took their own lives. army ranger jared haigman, a married father of two killed himself before his eighth deployment to a war zone. >> it hurts to know that it didn't have to happen, that if people would have listened he would still be here. >> reporter: the military launched its own investigation into lewis-mcchord's health care system after nearly 3 million soldiers had their ptsd diagnoses reversed. the military declined to comment on individual cases but released this statement -- soldiers expect and deserve the best possible care and our priority is

commissioner miguel: i have walked at st. three times. i think i understand it, but the project is not in front of us. mr. sanchez is going to have to deal with that. what is in front of us is the row appeals. i am going to quote from some of the department material, because this is a ceqa issue. "pursuant to an initial study, and evaluates and discloses the effects of the proposed project, does not assess the merits of the project." section c summarizes the location surrounding zoning, and it does not assess the environmental effects of any future rezoning of the neighborhood, nor does it consider the projects code compliant or its assessment of environmental impact. it may be considered when consideration of whether to approve the project. all of the testimony i heard has to do with approval of the proposed project. that is not in front of us. what is in front of us is whether to go along with the emnd, or to require a full environmental report. i have read through the materials. i do not see where this item, a full report, is necessary
