commissioner moore: 3 things. i would support that we take it by type of campus and eir and development agreement separately so that there would be four different lots of things. i have two comments to make. we have hardly, at all, talk about the eir. we'll talk about everything else, at least compared to the way we normally discussed and lay out the discussion until we find that eir complete or accurate or refine the remaining significant unavoidable impact. i want to point that out because the discussion has been 90% about other things. we have not given it quite the workover as we normally do because we have impact of traffic, pedestrian safety, the high shadow, increases in wind speed, the list goes on. i just want to make sure that we remember that. the other thing, and we will not have much time to discuss that in detail, i do believe that, aside from the oversized campus, the architecture has come forward in a way which i believe it is responsive to many of the concerns expressed. the differentiation in the

commissioner moore: may i disagree with you? in the block between columbus up towards the tunnel, where there is double, triple parking all the time. public right of way is blocked for the lack of parking in that area and it is a misnomer to say that it is all transit. it is not. >> i am sorry if you understood that was the way i was saying. chinatown does not require parking. by removing it from the washington-broadway sud, you are not changing much in that respect. commissioner moore: i do not agree with that assessment. >> the provisions are already in place in chinatown. by removing chinatown, we are not having any net change on that. the underlying provisions would still remain in effect. it may sound like there is a broader issue, it there is not a large enough parking requirement in chinatown, and maybe that is something to look at. commissioner moore: that's might be one way of addressing it. there is somewhat of a requirement not being met. many people come to this location for going to large restaurants. there are comi

commissioner moore: thank you. commissioner sugaya: i think i know the answer to this, but i will ask anyway. at today's paper, there was an article on a 400 ft high rise that is being proposed. the article seemed to imply that the environmental review ha was already under way. i don't know if it is in the department or not. is there any kind of ceqa something that says there can be any kind of the way the cumulative impacts are, is there any kind of retroactive mitigation that can come about? or if the highrises going to make the traffic even worse that it is, is that right? >> someone from environmental planning will answer that. it comes as a community planning exemption. >commissioner sugaya: they will have to take into consideration, and i assume. >> being trapped here -- i guess the important thing in terms of this is a reminder that we all look at a list of projects, we look at a growth that was assumed cumulative for this project, it is part of that growth. it is not a particular building or a particular si

commissioner moore: did to comment on that? i do not think i heard them. >> that was the last item that i did. i might have rushed through. currently, parking can be waived by the zoning administrator in the waterfront sud 1 and 3. this legislation would change it so that the waterfront assud2 could get parking waivers. commissioner antonini: on the issue regarding the 2 to 5 years, will be the case if the temporary parking lot is not approved? it would have to just be vacant. or whatever they choose to do. >> correct. if they can back to do a temporary parking lot for five years on the commission decided not to grant it, they could not operate a surface parking lot there. commissioner antonini: i understand the intent to try to nudge development, but i am not sure every two years would be cumbersome. it seems the five-year might be the better solution. >> we are not recommending that they be prohibited, so -- if you took the staff's recommendation, it would be a non-issue for surface parking lot. commissioner antonini: ok, i t

she finished the conversation. >> after calling bill starns, sherman moore continued to contact him. even asked me to get in contact with the warden and ask for his release. but i just feel like if you commit the crime, you should do the time. i just can't bring myself to go about that procedure. it was a bad day in mine and my family's life. i'm sorry he has to stay in prison for what he did, but that's just the way it is. >>> next, on "lockup: extended stay." >> it happened eight years ago on february 24th, 1999. >> sherman moore comes face to face with the mother of someone else's victim. >> i can't say i understand how you feel, but i can understand your loss. it really shook me up. there's no justifiable reason to take a life. ♪ if loving you is wrong ♪ i don't wanna be right [ record scratch ] what?! it's not bad for you. it just tastes that way.

he does point out why kelly moore does pai fair better than most. history, starting in 1946 by bill kelly and william efforts moore it was sym paul making quality payments that professionals would be proud to use. and second understand that those professionals are not only your customers but your partners. what a concept. quality and loyalty. chasing the market down. >> what we stay focused on was number one, what we're known for which is quality. we know who our customers are and we never took our eyes off that we became a real strong partner with them over the couple years that the downturn hurt us. >> kelly moore set up classes, tutorials for small business owners and customers to teach them how to survive tough times and look for bigger markets. in western regional player in the u.s., kelly moore now ships paint to china, japan, cambodia, vietnam. the driver. >> quality products for one, and the second factor is that it's made in the u.s. that's what they see, that's what they want, that quality. >> what kelly moore seeks is the next great break

that motion passed four-one, with commissioner moore voting against. commissioners, you are now on item four, the transit center district plan adoption of action -- adoption action. for the record, i will state that adoption of the ceqa findings is 4a 4b is proposed plan amendments. 4d is request for review and comment. 4e is a learning t is administre amendments. 4g is the program implementation document. >> good morning again the, commissioners. since the department has been the primary sponsor of this plan, i thought it was appropriate to address you from this location rather than my usual chair. three weeks ago, we talked about a number of items. i will not reiterate all of those. i just want to reiterate what we are putting this before you today for adoption and white -- and also a bit more about the shadow issue. we initiated the plan in response to the transbay working group. the idea of the plan was to reflect the goal of the original 1985 plan to create a high density neighborhood as well as providing an creating land value that would be captu

speaking more, commissioner moore. commissioner moore: i wanted to support and echoed the concerns expressed by not only commissioner wu and commissioner borden, but also by the public regarding equal access to the transit center and to the park from all sides. i do think it cannot just be loaded primarily from one direction, where your son not a believer in bridges from other buildings, which i hope the city will be greatly stay away from. there are many other ways of how to get people through buildings up to the level of the park, and a thing that needs to be very carefully started, and anything the planning department can do on its own to make suggestions, it definitely needs to be developed further. also, to give those people who work for dissipating equal rights to having it as part of their fun. to the comment of social equity, i think that is and always important part of this commission. there is almost nothing one can describe, but one can manage the park with a more open in. you do not have to wear a three pie

commissioner moore: i appreciate everyone's comments. this is not an easy project. this is reinventing a large part of downtown and i appreciate the department's effort to keep us posted with the detail of what they want done. i support the plan. what is missing for me is the lingering uncertainty over the transit center itself. we got this project moved into the limelight of the public discussion. i think there needs to be a clearer understanding of the financial responsibilities of what people are expecting exchange for extraordinary high concessions for this transit center tower. there are clear expectations for the creation of a civic space related to the design and future redevelopment of the area using the park as a catalyst. on march 19th, john king pointed out in an excellent article about the change in the tower design. the office tower is an integral part of an emerging vision of what it will be. and it should be a goal of succeeding on all levels on opening day. and what he means is not just that our standing on its own. what happened is that apparently,

commissioner moore: i am asking you to just check it one more time. thank you. >> i will second consistent to our discussions. >> [inaudible] >> in the other questions? ok. >> the motion on the floor is for approval. staff has presented today and as you have understood it and recounted, the motion. i cannot restate that. i apologize. on that motion -- [roll call vote] that motion passes 6-1. commissioners, we are now at item 12b. >> i move to recuse. >> second. >> i would like to hear a reason, please. >> due to a relationship that i have with the property at fisherman's wharf. this is within 500 feet of that property and address. thank you for asking. >> there is the motion and the second. commissioner moore: aye. commissioner sugaya: aye. commissioner miguel: aye. president fong: >> ok, these are d amendments for the legislation. the first one deals with the washington-broadway special use district. the second one deals with the waterfront special used district. this would move certain parcels from sud 2 and 3, so they corresponded to some sub-areas

commissioner moore: i have a question for you. you are presenting brt as a conceptual group of alternatives which are supposed to be in front of this commission in may. i am wondering, given that you showed tentative construction schedules for brt on van ness between 2015 and 20 cents -- 27, followed by geary between 2017 and 2019, and by topic correctly. when i put that into context for construction for cmc, it would take 54 months. there must be a conflict somewhere, which i have not seen in the diagram. >> yes, that issue has been raised many times. it is an issue of concern for people on how the construction would interface. i do not have the specifics of construction for cpmc or the van ness projects. i am sure other colleagues of mine could answer that question, maybe at a later point. >> good morning. michael schwartz with the san francisco transportation authority. project manager for planning and environmental review on the van ness brt project. we have been moving forward with this schedule, and we will be in front of th

commissioner moore: i am basically confused. when the applicant first started, it seems like there was an agreement. the majority of points seem to be not acceptable and not studied well enough by the applicant. i assume that you feel the same way. i would like to say, the original continuance of this project started with this of standard set of drawings. they were -- they are simply stick drawings. the issues cannot be fully addressed, property line, windows, those are not things that are negotiated. however, since this set of drawings does not constitute anything, i think it is difficult to have the applicant understand the conditions. i think the dr requestor use -- the d.r. requestors may be more familiar with the requirements. if you want to downsize the windows, you need a line drawing, preferably by an architect. depending on the agreement between the parties, it is nowhere fully documented. basically, i do not know what to do. i am curious what the other commissioners have to say to this dilemma. commissioner miguel: the

commissioner moore: i would like to take this alit. understanding -- code compliance is one thing the understanding things is different. the key lot with a four -- with the living unit in the backyard and adjoining lot i think that requires consideration. what bothers me about what we're looking at is this building is extremely aggressive. it doesn't hold to common building lines, it creates a deck which is three times as large as the average back of which there are only two in the adjoining entire block. not to say that decks are wrong, but it creates another form of union -- a unit extension so it needs to have a common vocabulary. i look at that carefully because i live in a neighborhood where the joining decks happen, but the beauty is where the art of joining them lies. this building does not speak to let a grand ideas because when it comes to the interpretation of the real yard, i would like the commissioners to open -- there is indeed a patio which is elevated and exactly 10 feet away from the little house in the backyard. we're

>>commissioner moore: could you comment on access from the outside to the roof garden? could you also comment on the revenue? there is no description of the changes being there any more either. there is an interaction between people at the park and using the mezzanine for shopping and interaction. >> the west end of the transit center, we have at both the ground level and the second level mezzanine a retail-focused and government. this is part of providing for the ongoing operation and maintenance of the transit center. it is the revenue expected to be generated through those retail activities. this is in the area between first and second streets and then the pedestrian mall that i mentioned earlier. in terms of access points to the park, there is access through the grand hall. there is an escalator that cascades up to the bus back. and there are elevators from the grand hall, elevators from first street, elevators from beale street, and elevators from the west and on that, to be part -- on natoma to the park level. >> -- commissioner moore: how are people getting to th

commissioner sugaya: with -- commissioner moore: with you being in charge, i believe that. but it is a stretch. redevelopment tax in the public interest, and this looks more like a private deal -- redevelopment acts in the public interest, and this looks more like a private deal. commissioner antonini: thank you. i thought the response for the two questions was very important about the buying power that is increased by this program. and, of course, we have always been concerned during my 10 years on the planning commission of that group of people who cannot afford housing, that middle income group that is leaving san francisco. anyway, what was really interesting, if i am interpreting this correctly, is the normal buying power, $357,000, which only allows a person to access 15% of the properties in san francisco, has been raised to $402,000 and most recently to $460,000 because of the present program. in this program, because the amount is higher, i think we are raised up to $557,000 of buying power, which will allow access to 39% of the units available, which i think is --

. >> the moors. >> yes. think about this, spain has been at war with the moors for hundreds of years, hundreds of years. as you know, the moors conquered the iberian peninsula and then gradually, various christian kingdoms, multiple kingdoms gradually pushes the moores back and back and back until by the late 15th century, 1492, the moores are confined to only one kingdom in the south of spain, grenada. this is the end of the reconquista, the reconquering, the end of a centuries long struggle, so the spanish crown want to finish this story. they need to finish this. so they tell columbus, brother, the moment is not propitious, not saying no, the moment is not propitious. then what happens? >> he is back on the drawing board. >> not columbus. what happens in spain? >> in spain? >> in 1492. >> they finally conquer the iberian peninsula. >> yeah, the fall of grenada. marks the end of this centuries, centuries long struggle. so here is spain now sort of riding high and we conquer the iberian peninsula and this s

commissioner moore: aye. commissioner sugaya: aye. president fong: aye. commissioner wu: aye. we have a full commission. items one through five make up the consent calendar this week. they are considered to be routine and will be acted upon by a single roll-call vote of this commission. there will be no separate discussion of these items unless this commission, the public, where staff has any matters that will be removed from the consent calendar for a future hearing. item one is a request for a conditional use authorization to establish an automobile and scooter repair business with in the basement and second floor of an existing building located at 1528-1540 pine street, with accessory automobile and scooter sales located at the ground floor. conditional year's authorization is required to establish the automotive repair business at the basement level and the automotive repair years at the second belt. the project sponsor is requesting that the zoning administrator eliminate the of street parking requirements for the uses. the project is located within the polk street neighb
