mobile food and push carts. they have figured out a way to streamline regulation. they are activating abandoned spaces. bringing people out for great, sustained food creative with culinary -- for a foothold in san francisco. there is a balancing act in this dense city. this creates the checks and balances adn public notice. the new agency to lead these efforts has a hearing process and if the objections are made, hearings are quickly made to proceed with a mobile food facility. the police department is the lead agency. it is an expensive proposition to get the ball rolling with a mobile food facility. we have several email messages. it is not intended to change regulations with respect to middle and high schools, requ iring they be 1500 feet from schools. and pushcarts would be under this requirement. there are great organizations like la cocina that are helping women start small businesses. to sahre with us how this process will make it easier for opportunities. i can share with you. we had dsome food trucks at city hall. people were excited and wanted to know if

given that the mobile food facilities are, by definition, mobile and not permanent, we do not believe that this is entirely appropriate, and that is why we have this legislation. the primary thing is to have more temporary uses, uses that qualify under this category. they may be approved for one year on a renewable basis, so long as they meet a series of conditions. the interim and activity must be located outside the building and residential districts, and they may only operate in the principally permitted hours of operation in the district where they are located. lastly, and most significantly, this can only be on the side for either 324-hour days every week, or no more than 612-hour days -- six spac-- athree 24-hor days every week, when no more than six -- or no more than six 12-hour days. this is for the neighborhoods and the mixed use districts. in these areas, if the facilities are comprised of more than 225 square feet, which is more and less a single catering truck, or if the mobil facility is located within 50 feet of a residential district, then the proposal must go through

though none of these mobile food vendors will be able to get a permit until

the single individual or entity can receive permits for more than 7 mobile food facility. each of them can have an unlimited number of locations with a can of the more than seven under any other ship. that will not be operating in residential districts, only a neighborhood where commercial or industrial. and there is a provision that permits may be revoked after six months or nine years. and that is the public or changes on streets and sidewalks. i will turn this over to daniel, the will take you to the proposed revisions covering the local food vendors on this kind of property. i will come up with a couple of amendments with the city attorney. >> good morning. justice is slides to quickly go through, with the street from puzzle the those outside of the public right of way. before i die than to this, last week the planning commission unanimously recommended that you adopt this proposed ordinance, along with one minor change and i will mention in a moment. also, the supervisor mentioned earlier, the planning code currently treats mobile food facilities as they would any oth

you know, mike just now talked about mobile. mobile social networking. with all these mobile devices now they have wi-fi built in. and so people, you know, they want to access their content, whether they're home, at work, or in public. and sometimes in public, that 3g coverage is -- may be not as fast, or sometimes there are just too many people trying to get a signal. so wi-fi has become a tool for operators to provide more coverage in a cost-effective way. >> i know the problem you're talking about as an at&t iphone customer. but what's the trajectory for the company? you've raised 40 million from some major investors. is the trajectory to go to an ipo? is the trajectory to be acquired? what's next? >> you already laid the groundwork, what, i believe, in february for an ipo possibly thinking about filing some paperwork? >> well, we are -- the company is looking to definitely do an ipo. i wouldn't specifically pin down a time frame because to me an ipo is really not the angle. the angle is to build a successful long-term sustainable company. and the ipo

we've combined the requirements for the mobile food caterers, the trucks and pushcarts, and they now have, under one piece of legislation, one set of guidelines. so -- and specifically for the mobile food truck, this is going to significantly reduce the amount of their start-up application and fees, and it will be approximately the same for the pushcarts. the permitting, as i said, the authorizing permitting agency is the department of public works so they need to get their sign-off with the department of public health and fire, if necessary. the vendor -- so we did, through, again, the committee's recommendation of -- this is primarily for the pushcarts at six feet on sidewalks that there's a minimum of six feet and then it will be subject to the department of public works, if there's any other additional a.d.a. considerations that need to be dealt with, they will deal with the individual venture individually. the hours of operation are from 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., so that this will allow for vendors to be near nighttime entertainment establishments if that should work out. a vendor

we don't want a mobile food park within 1500 square feet of the middle or high school. it is not covered, the only major park. most of the park facilities would be affected by that. colleagues, i believe there is a representative of the recreation and parks department here. if i could invite nick to reflect on the general manager's letter and welcome him back. president chiu: without objection, could we allow this individual to speak? >> thank you supervisors. -- thank you, supervisors. incorporating all of those parts that are adjacent. we have been committed to a healthy lifestyles very seriously. and healthy menu consisting of organic, locally grown products. in addition to the practice that we are already undertaking, our general manager has proposed to increase the partnership with the school district such that any proposed food vendor operating the park adjacent to a school, we would include the principle in the evaluation of whether or not such a park use would be appropriate. and we would coordinate with the principle of the school as well as the nutritional dir

are one-day permits that someone can get if somebody chooses to have a party and wants to have a mobile vendor at their property for a party. so we will be working on those guidelines. we're having discussions with the department of technology to work on g.i.s.ing the permitted locations so that when somebody comes to our office we can pull that up and see what areas are taken and what areas may be available. there could be some creative ways of which vendors could also work together, which right now, two vendors could not be next to each other the way the current code is. so it could be that two vendors might think that they're complementary and could be next to each other. so -- but we will be working on the criteria. the one component is is that after this passes, d.p.w. will hold a hearing -- their administrative criteria that they're going to be using to -- should they need to conduct a hearing for any other criteria that needs to be developed, like not parking in or putting a pushcart in front of a blue zone or red zone or bus stop, you know. there are certain areas that we will s

i am a fan and user of mobile food trucks. mr. sider, i have a couple of questions to clarify two items. there is not a truck but a trailer, if my memory is correct, parked in a parking lot at second and howard that serves crepes. it is there. it is a commercial parking lot. it has the outside corner. i presume that would have to be considered a permanent establishment and have to have the correct permits. >> commissioners, dan sider, department staff. that is correct. one note would be that in a number of the downtown districts, particularly the c3 district, permits for restaurants or -- are more flexible than they would be elsewhere. president miguel: i do know of a number of people who have given parties in their homes for one reason or another, and as part of the, if not all of the, food service, have contracted with one or more mobile food trucks to come and parked in front of their house and their neighbor pact house. -- and their neighbor's house. this is strictly residential. what do we do about that? i mean, it works. >>

we have a budget to control and in that budget, you will see our mobility policy. you can have your own expenses on infrastructure work, for instance, but in brussels, we also have an important policy on financing groups, social groups who are working on the issue. and i believe we should never forget to work on equity because we have those big social differences within our town. this is just shortly a slide that shows you what already has been polled, that denmark and the netherlands, they are in fact far ahead of all of the other european countries and belgium is somewhere in-between making an effort but for sure also at this trip, i have been able to learn a lot from my european colleagues in denmark and in the netherlands. brussels is in the heart of europe and i think it's also has been a very good thing that there is european regulations, although at this moment, european regulations are mainly on achieving certain environmental standards. let's say pollution by co2 and particles. but that has helped us as we had too high air pollution in brussels as it was s

though none of these mobile food vendors will be able to get a permit until the department of public health has signed off on them and they follow very strict state guidelines on what can be done with mobile food. >> i think it's a great idea. i'm just saying, you have to go through a lot of hoops if you have food at a fare and it doesn't seem like you have so many regulations when you see some of these guys on the corner selling hot dogs and i think it should be consistent, whatever it comes out to be, not one okay here and not okay there. president yee riley: thank you. any more public comment? dick-endrizzi. director dick-endrizzi: i want to express my appreciation to supervisor dufty and the planning department who put in a lot of time, in addition to our office, but in working with the ggra, the mobile food vendors, to come up with a comprehensive plan. i want to publicly express my appreciation for that. president yee riley: i know you and staff have been working on this for a long time, as well. so thank you. >> i think that we've worked on this a lot and i would like to propo
