president olague: we're going to have to have a -- we're calling for a recess at this time, ms. avery. >> the planning commission is in recess. commissioner moore: i hope that we have a button to do the same. president olague: i don't. i don't personally. >> there's no way that i can keep them from broadcasting. i can turn the mic off, which is what i did. and i pressed the panic button. it's time for the sheriff's department to get here. president olague: thank you. ed hardy was another name i called. i'm not sure if you heard or not. >> hello, my name is ed hardy. i'm a business owner. my business is at 700 lombard street. i have been in that location for 12 years. i've owned businesses in the city and been a property here for 34 years. my wife and i have both been dismayed to see the progress of this. can primary issue i would like to address, i do not know if it's been brought up, is the impact on the traffic flow and the safety by altering that street. because we're on a corner location, we're very aware of the flow of traffic that goes through there because that's a particular c

. >> ms. avery, if you could -- i don't know. >> i thought i was up next. good afternoon. i do reside at 2651 post street. i've been in the neighborhood for quite a long time. i really appreciate the need for the emancipated youth. i support booker t. and the wonderful service they provide the community. i myself have been mentoring a child for six years from big brother, big sister who lives in a very at-risk neighborhood. so i really appreciate the compromise that's been brokered by supervisor farrell, and i appreciate, also, the spirit of the community to come together and find something that will work for all. i do like -- i would like to see the commetion of the -- the completion of the project in due time. the building needs to go and would love to see something appreciative by all and provides services to the community and falls within the height limitation for the zone as it is. i would like to see further reduction in size and scale. please bear in mind we're adding 41 units where there are zero housing units. the impasse on the traffic is already evident by the c

description but i think that we have a lot of -- i'm not sure how we would frame it but we can talk with ms. avery at one of our monday meetings and figure out how to phrase it and have that conversation here. commissioner moore? commissioner moore: i would ask that the reference that the code is probably o.k. isn't quite enough for me. it is either o.k. or it doesn't and i do believe that since these large stores have very large turnover when their semi trucks come, that their loading is not taking off the curb but goes to the rear of the building in order not to impair the other retail which is on that street. i think it is extremely important so i do think my question about the proper number of loading docks in adaptive reuse and we can always take an exemption to it is a code question which i would like to ask. is for this type of use at 15,000-plus square feet, the existing loading dock provision to code or does it require a variance? that has not been answered. somebody said you could do it off the curb and i'm saying if are this type of use, no. i'm not going to basically support that the s

ms. hunter? thank you. our next applicant is benjamin castaneda. i'm sorry, i think people were shuffling out when you announced it. emily avery was withdrawn her application, is that correct? >> that's correct. supervisor kim: thank you. next we have jay lee. >> hello. my name is jay lee and i'm currently occupying the at large seat, one of two at large seats. i just want to talk briefly about the at large seat in particular and the perspective that i think is needed and that i bring to this particular position. first of all, i am a pedestrian, i don't own a car and so from a that perspective i am intimately familiar with the pedestrian safety issues that are facing san francisco residents on a daily basis. i also believe that the at large community, the at large position needs to represent communities that are not necessarily represented in the existing seats. in particular i think that low income and minority populations as well as the homeless, those interests are not being voiced without the at large position. and through my work with community-based organizations and my current work through a nonprofit that works closely
