and may meet market octavia and golf. we have a lot of serious congestion and bike safety problems now. what is going to happen in the future when the projects are built and occupied. to make the matters worse you may be aware that the city wants to take millions of dollars from the sale of the former freeway parcels this is one of them that was ear marked specifically for transportation improvements in the area and did divert those to other neighborhoods >> as good as projects like this one, unless we have money to address the transportation needs i question how you can justify approving the developments when the streets around them are unsafe and dysfunctional. >> in the future i urge you to consider this question when reviewing the projects like the one before you in the market area. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners, tim collen on behalf of the housing action coalition. and the project sponsors has presented this to us a couple of weeks ago, pretty recently so as scam belled to get it

and i don't agree with that argument because when you look at market/octavia, the adoption of the plan, or eastern neighborhoods, or many other rezonings that we've done, properties are routinely up zoned as part of a plan without knowing what the specific project is that's going to go there. so, i don't think we need to have the project pending at the planning department, before the commission, before the rezoning can occur. and then finally, the legislation would allow the off-site kitchen cafe floor on noe street to come into compliance with the planning code to provide cafe floor with a path to legalize the off-site kitchen that has had at one location or another for several decades. this legislation is critical to ensuring the continued success of an important and iconic neighborhood business, specifically cafe floor. in san francisco and in city hall, we talk a very good game about supporting our locally owned unique neighborhood businesses. we talk a lot about how we prefer these businesses to formula retail. but our codes and sometimes our actions aren't consistent with that rh

the second aspect reestablishes the height control originally envisioned as part of the market and octavia plan which is generally proposes heights of 85 feet along market street east of church street for corner lots, and 65 feet west of church street. the heights west of church street were reduced back down to 50 feet pending an historic resource survey which has now been completed. when market and octavia controls were extended west to castro street, the height controls were not extended along with it and so we have the [speaker not understood] property formerly the gold stem property, which is seeking to expand the gym and also add apartments above. and, so, the rezoning proposes to go up to 65 feet. i believe that this project should be capped at actually 62 feet. 60 foot height plus a two-foot bonus because the ground floor is 12 feet instead of 10 feet. but planning staff advises that 62 feet is not an actual planning height category. and, so, the legislation at the request of the planning staff says 65 feet that my understanding, my belief and desire is that the actual limit of the

octavia and the quality improvement fund and have we seen anything come from that yet? >> our transportation should be a priority of improving and making pedestrian improvements in the haze valley. >> because a lot of them have not come in yet, but turning haze into two way because one small project. >> and some, i think that a lot more on the street we made improvements for the landscaping and the islands on the top of the street and on pearl street as well. >> yeah, i think that was it, and i don't think that is... >> that is not impacting. >> the process of impacting and that comes south >> the recommendation of the community, advisory committees that gos and that make the recommendation and then it goes to and comes to the commission itself and goes into the capitol budget and then as programmed, as any, capitol project would be programmed. >> it would be good to get an update with an e-mail or a memo what kind of funding is in there or what cac is recommending i would agree that those kind of improvements are needed in the area. >> thank you, commissioner, sugaya?

the upper market nct was established as part of the market octavia plan adopted in 2008 and at the time of the plan adoption, that stretch of market street west of noe was outside of the plan area and therefore not included in the new nct. the controls for the two districts by this time are almost identical. and, so, there's no real land use or planning rationale to maintain two nearly identical districts. here in this map just on the overhead shows that as proposed, there would be just a couple of small lots left out. so the department's recommendation is that the commission recommend that the full area be rezoned to the upper market nct by including those last remaining parcels on lots 263, 6 and 91. on the northeast corner of castro [speaker not understood]. the fed recommendation does not require a map and the department is recommending that the commission recommend that the limited use of the off-site food prep for cafe floor be expanded and more broadly applied. the proposed ordinance would create a path to legalize what appears to be an illegal accessory kitchen located at 260-1/

issues regarding the zoning map, height amendments in light of lessons learned through the market octavia planned and the historic survey integration. so, there's another map i'd like to display. i believe it's the last map in your packet. the market octavia plan originally called for market street to be zoned at 85 feet beginning at the church street intersection and to the east while west of church street was to be zoned at 65 feet in height. the survey integration resulted in allowing heights to be raised from nonhistoric corner parcels to 65 feet while other parcels remained at 50 feet. and those in the 50 feet threshold have the potential five foot bonus for active ground floor uses. the department believes that that same rationale should be applied to all of market street that has been surveyed and recommends that the commission consider initiating separate legislation to rezone the remaining two parcel at that corner of market noe and 16th street that are not historic resources. so, put that map up on the overhead as well. these are the only two remaining corner parcels east of cas

using this revenue for uses other than satisfying the transportation related needs on and around octavia boulevard as well as resolutions for meeting both the area's significant transit needs as well as affordable houseving needs. another hearing request by supervisor scott wiener and david chiu was introduced at the board requesting the mta, the department of public works, the planning department and the san francisco county transit authority to provide an update on the better market street project including schedule and progress on improving enter agency coordination and the proposal to construct the separated bike lane on mission street. * both hearings are tentatively scheduled for march 11, 2013. and that's pretty much all. if you have any questions, i'd be happy to answer. thanks. >> doesn't appear to be any questions. thank you. next item, please. >> board of appeals last night had a pretty lengthy hearing, a couple items that might be of interest to the commission would be a rehearing request for a letter of determination, 800 brotherhood way. in this matter the appellant seemed

this idea came out of the market and octavia plan. it was an idea about trying to get density in neighborhoods in a way that is compatible with existing character. if you look at the zoning prior to the change to the nct and rto, the zoning actually would not allow the existing housing stock to be rebuilt because the existing housing stock was much denser than what the zoning would allow. so, by looking at what is the appropriate form and sticking with the prevailing form of the area, we were able to get more density within the historic character of the district. >> thanks, that's really helpful. i'm supportive of that part of the legislation, the consistency, have it all be one market nct makes sense. on the question of cafe floor, i think it really is a fine, welcoming place. so, i'm supportive of allowing them to have accessory use across the street. staff recommended it be city-wide. i don't think this is the appropriate time to go city-wide. i think that that requires some discussion across the city, what this might mean for othe

that you see here, venice and gary brt, etc., as well as many of the area planning studies, market octavia studies, these are basically acknowledged that the land-use transportation plans need to be done more in a coordinated fashion. in addition the transportation sustainability program has come to focus with a cbc streamlining work. the second initiative from 2004 but we make a progress on is the idea of streets as public space. we don't have enough public open space. we have been using the available space more innovatively through things like sunday street, pavement to park, streetscape improvements such as avalencia and leland, and pilots, things like a better market street pilot. that we eventually got legislated. the idea of using public space. by time of day. the third one, was tdm, travel demand management. the idea to use policy tools to shape and encourage people to think about alternatives and partner with new types of organizations, car sharing, bike sharing, finding the balance of working with private employers investing in regional and local shuttles. this whole area is fast-

add two additional parcel that would be up zoned to 65 feet in a manner consistent with the market octavia plan. there are two additional corner parcels there that are not historic resources that we believe could be 65 feet. and then the second is to correct what we believe is an error within the nct whether it be 7 parcels that has a 60, 65 foot height designation and two that have a 50-55 foot height legislation. and that would be separate legislation initiated by you. >> great. well, if it's appropriate, i'd like to make a motion for approval. and i would just add the following things that i'd alluded to those in my conversation, that we would allow the provision for off-site full-service food service at other nc districts throughout the city that apply to the criteria here. and then we would remove the sunseting * for this specific instance here that was i believe in the original legislation. and the technical changes that ms. hayward could allude to later. and then the height changes for nonhistoric within the district, not involving the ones that you're alluding to for the later legi

we have had success at masonic with the left-turn camera and we'll get at market and octavia a right-turn? >> any turn. >> any right turn on this freeway. i just think if we're going to pursue a pilot opportunity for speed cameras i would like to see us aim a little higher. i think that is something that we'd have to have a discussion as a board, not just in school zones. it's great. we have got the 50 miles per hour speed limits in the school zones. i would love to see that 5 miles 15 miles per hour speed limit enforced by cameras and keep not just the kids, but every other citizen safe from speeding cars by maybe consider expanding that to haves with bike and pedestrian trafficks, libraries, parks, streets around parks. so if this is a good opportunity to pursue this pilot program that we really go for a program that shows safety. as we see as we look at pedestrian strategy program, we have a ways to go in pedestrian safety and so many of our incidents are simply cars violating the pedestrian right-of-way, whether it's turning through a crosswalk or on their cell phone or texting and ju

of the orphan block as we have been talking about to make them similar to the rest of the market octavia plan area. it allows for increased residential den it on the 2300 block of market street, amends the planning code to support existing small businesses, including allowing for an off-site prep kitchen for use of popular local restaurant cafe floor and expansion of fitness sf, another popular fitness center in the castro. it also includes the addition of 14 apartment units with rental health -- rental housing below market rental apartments on-site. this legislation will -- and that's what's happening at fitness sf. this legislation will allow cafe floor to legalize its long existing off-site kitchen and will enable it to continue as a very popular full-service restaurant it is. additionally, the off-site kitchen is behind an existing retail space that is not visible from the street, allowing this nonconforming space will not interfere with the mandate for store fronts at street level in a neighborhood commercial district. additionally, the castro cbd is [speaker not understood] of the
