olague commissioner borden? commissioner borden: i understand commissioner moore's concerns, but i disagree given that the 15 feet is the same because of the width on haight street is roughly the same and the lack of banks available and 24-hour cash opportunities actually was pretty surprising to me. and the volume of withdrawals from the previous a.t.m. definitely indicates it was a high use or highly desirable and needed a.t.m. so i actually am inclined to support this one. and give the project sponsor the hardship they claim in recessing it. olague commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: the sidewalk, i believe, right where the a.t.m. is going to be is nowhere near 15 feet wide because there are planters in front of it, which effectively reduces the sidewalk width to about 8 feet. vice president olague: call the question. all right. commissioners, the motion on the floor is for approval. commissioner antonini? >> aye. >> commissioner borden? >> aye. >> commissioner moore? >> no. >> commissioner sugaya? >> n

vice president olague: that is collect. clerk: with that, commissioners, i am not aware of any other item on calendar being proposed for continuance or that has been withdrawn. vice president olague: to open it up for pup comment on items proposed for continuance. >> sue hester, attorney for the 246 2nd street homeowners association. the president of the association had intended to address you, but he has a sick child and asked me to come in his stead. the homeowners association is a condo building one block away from this building. it is the project that people most directly affected by this project. we are asking for a one-week continuance from the 5th to the 12th. when the first -- there were extensive comments from the homeowners on the d.e.i.r. those of you remember it, it was a knotty, passive case. these people are involved. they have been watching to find out when the hearing was and at the end of june the hearing was announced for the 2nd. it was announced in the paper and on posters on site and notices were issued

vice president olague: yeah. i guess my question is, and if you can answer that one first. >> i would remind that i haven't gone through the analysis or recommendations, so i would like to provide more information. vice president olague: for mr. yarney, i went through it a couple of times and didn't get a chance to focus on anything. but my question is, how would these committees interface with the cac's? and have the cac's weighed in on it? i know they were charged with the allocation of the infrastructure fees, at least that's one of their roles, right? how does this all work together? >> they interface two ways. one is this resolution creates the committee. we have a ways to go unfortunately, but we do. and this is just the committee to create the policy and support the study and to guide the formation of the pilot. the first way to interact from the existing c.a.c.'s and the market octavia c.a.c. and two at-large community stakeholder seats. and in a direct way those people will be involved in the process and

vice president olague: commissioner moore? commissioner moore: in your short write-up in the commission calendar for today, you are saying that the committee would supervise the consultants and that the consultants would not develop policy. they should basically give tools to develop policy but not be in the business of policy development. is that just written in gist or what is applied here? >> certainly not written in jest and might not have been written well. the city makes the policy and the consultant will help us project that and once we have the information we can make intelligent policies and the consultant doesn't decide policy and the planning commission will make that decision. >> and for anybody who supports this that is particularly spelled out. and the draft policies. and find a serious conflict and nothing that i could afford. >> if staff can note that and i don't think there's any >> and it was in there. >> commissioner antonini? >> and you are now on and we're going to come back in literally 5 minutes and hear

vice president olague: commission esugaya? commissioner sugaya: i assume this is going to move forward and would like to be assured that we receive periodic reporting so we're kept informed along theway to the studies and how this is working and approved of or apprised of, whatever, and it might be easier if we revealed prop 13. it wouldn't be gyrating around this stuff every time where we want to build a street. vice president olague: to the extent you can get feedback from the different c.a.c.'s and a list of projects that might be impacted and if a list can be created or is available, i don't know what the status of that is, but since there was a request from the public. is there any other response? and commissioner moore has a comment. >> i do have one response to a question raised about assessments and remember the question was raised. we went ahead and did prototypes on several, if you remember when we came here with the fee deferral package, we had 10 case study projects or most were entitled an

vice president olague: i think the key point here for me is mr. pfeiffer is flying in from new york and we do encourage great architecture, this commission has for as long as i can remember. the reality is he's flying in from new york, the neighbors and others aren't flying from anywhere. they will have to live with the impacts of this development in their neighborhood. so i think it's critical we have a balanced discussion here with all parties that are going to be affected. that includes the architect. that includes the project sponsor and that includes people in the neighborhood who live in close proximity to a project that may have some ongoing impacts for them. so it's important to keep that kind of balances conversation when it comes to the project. i don't see any other names up. i will call the question. clerk: commissioners on the motion to continue items 1 and 2 to the dates proposed on calendar -- [ roll call ] clerk: commissioners we have a tie vote. vice president olague: should we substitute a motion? misser boarden? commissioner bor

vice president olague: commissioner lee? commissioner lee: i am glad he put this together because that is a key issue for the gay lesbian community on market street and octavia there. so with that, and keeping in mind we do have a business issue and this is something that we can do to help the people of san francisco and the gay community, so i want to second it. >> i like the presentation about the multipurpose and the teaching and the gateway and all those things and was well described and greatly appreciate that and is one of the stropgest arguments. >> totally supportive of this and to the concern that was raised and with the landmark advisory board and is historically with costs that will not go away and if there was a change of ownership, it is not inappropriate to provide a vehicle for a new oeb owner to pay for the cost. did you want to speak to that? >> and there a deed restriction that it must be a community center for 40 year. i think that speaks to some of the commissioner sugaya's questions. and we expect that w

vice president olague: commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: they did answer it very well the situation here. and what is different and why this does not need a setback is that what you are trying to do is not infringe upon the sidewalk width and with the 15 feet already there, you allow your 12-foot sidewalk that is apparently what we desire as haight is a narrower sidewalk and seems like it's a position. plus, apparently there was for many years an a.t.m. there that was worked without benefit of a permit. it seemed to be one that had a lot of activity. and finally, i think it is a little bit disturbing that there's so few banks in that area. and that might be something that we might want to encourage in the future is to have more banks and financial services in that area. because apparently there's only one bank and two that are quite a ways away. i'm supportive. vice president olague: commissioner moore. >> could i have the architect answer a couple of questions for me? >> i am not the architect. commissioner moore: yo

vice president olague: second. commissioner borden? commissioner borden: i would agree with what was said. first, i want to thank the mayor's office and for bringing this legislation to us and this didn't necessarily have to come to the commission. and i thank you for that. and this is a companion piece and the impact on infrastructure and if you have a fee deferral system to help us deal in that area and i think that that compelling issue in rincon park is a case study in applying this legislation. and what this this is two resolutions and are issues to consider by the study committee when they look at how they draft the final i.f.d.. and i know mr. cohen is gone, but there is a seat for market octavia and as i understood this legislation, it wants to be inclusive of the area plans and not exclusive and to go forward to make it more clear and i understand that but other people may not have. and i understand that rincon makes the perfect pilot as a funding for a study and that is the critical piece missing for eastern neighborhoods and

commissioner olague: is there any general public comment? seeing none, general public comment is closed and the meeting is adjourned. director ford: good morning, everyone. i would like to call to order [inaudible] >> yes, prior to taking role, i

vice president olague: should we substitute a motion? misser boarden? commissioner borden: i move to continue the items 2a, b, and c, items 1 and 2, a, b, and c, and d, to august. commissio ner antonini? commissioner antonini: on a motion for continuance, it does require a majority? vice president olague: yes, it does. commissioner antonini: ok, that was my question. clerk: and your motion? commissioner borden: to continue to august 12 clerk second? >> second. clerk: on the motion to continue this item to august 12th,. [ roll call ] clerk: that's a unanimous vote for continuance of items 1 and it to august 12th. thank you commissioners. commissioners. we are now at commissioners questions and matters. commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: this isn't a land use issue but i just wanted to announce the birth of our first grandchild yesterday.

[stomach rumbles] vincent: sounds like you could use some van goghgurt. it's fortified with arts-rich nutrients to improve your math and reading skills... catch! boy: van goghgurt...thanks. so what's the deal with your ear?

vice president olague: thank you. project sponsor? >> good afternoon. i am darrin mcmarty with the architect ice office and we are proposing as part of the project to remove an existing nonconforming dwelling unit and to replace it with a new one. i think everything else is clear. vice president olague: thank you. is there any public comment? >> good afternoon, commissioners. i am the director to of community leadership alieps. we're here in support of this project. actually the project sponsor is the president of our organization. and we'd like to have him close at hand and that would give us that you want the to have him there in the community. he actually allows us to use that building for our community meetings and other community organizations as well. and we've tried to do outreach regarding this project and there seems to be no sition. again, he is a great contributor the community and working with the tepnderloin and affords us meetings and all pro bono for free, so again, we're supporting this project. thank you. vice president olague: thank yo

commissioner olague: ok. well, i think i'm pretty satisfied with it. i'm ok with the building. i don't know, staff, are you going to continue to work with the architect on it? yeah, because there were some comments -- i mean, maybe it looks more like an office building than it could. maybe a little bit more of an art face would be nice, but i think it's moving in the right direction. so i think you're moving in the right direction. so that being said, i think at first i had a little bit of concern because of all the resources that were going into the creation of the fill more jazz district, and i was wondering why a location wasn't -- i understand due to real estate and other issues, but i'm wondering why hayes valley and why not the fill moore? although ultimately this is probably a prime location because it is so close to other music venues, like opera and davies is down the street and that sort of thing. but i was just wondering, was there a reason why you didn't pursue the site in that area? >> so one of

vice president olague: ms. rodgers. >> thank you, commissioners. i'm going to go through our recommendations before i do the i.f.d. and the c.f.d. is a bit confusing and a one-word summary of each. starting in the same order as mr. yarney,the i.f.d., infrastructure finance district for those familiar with redevelopment tax increment, this is a similar topic. for the rest of us, briefly, it allows a portion of the increment of the property tax revenues above the tax level at the outset to be pledged to taxes and bonds and those are used to fund a specific project. for this item we recommended that we have considered two issues. first, that the city seek additional funding to extend the pilot program to all eastern neighborhoods. in addition to the pilot i.f.d. proposed for rincon hill, it is important that the new committee will taxed with the development of an i.f.d. for the whole eastern neighborhoodses. funding for this additional study should be identified in the short term by the committee. this is important because eastern neighborhoods has an

vice-president olague: i just wanted to point out an article i read. i am not related to anyone at 7 by 7, selling magazines or anything. but there is an interesting magazine on the neighborhood and the transformation from the neighborhood. i think there are some interesting pieces in the mission district, and some of the other locally owned businesses, more independently owned retailers. i think what is interesting about this article is it does give some sort of -- sheds some light on some of the struggles that we have as commissioners when it comes to the issue of formula retail and the impact it might have on some of the existing neighborhoods. i would encourage people, if you are out and about, to look through it, read through some of it. it does help, i think, gives some insight into some of the struggles we have here, when it comes to that issue, and the desire we want to preserve neighborhood character and history of the neighborhood. check it out. it is interesting. >> that will move us to the director's report and five director's announcements

commissioner olague: project sponsor? >> good evening, commissioners. this is my wife. we are the owners, operators, and tenants of the red jack saloon. we have operated it since 1993 under the precedent that it was a legal business. we are a historic asset to the neighborhood and the city of san and cisco. here are a few reasons why we feel that way. we have safe lighting and an attractive storefront on what could be a very dark stretch of bay street. we have raised close to $75,000 for the boys and girls club of hunter's point. we employ five people consistently that live in san francisco, we pay a competitive wage and consider them family. most establishments in our area are chains. we're one of the few in the area that can command and needed the owners. we are working, you can get an affordable drink and intelligent, local conversation. it is a place for neighbors to meet in times of tragedy and in celebration, for both local and national needs. it is a place for people to come if they lock themselves out. [laughter] after a night of drinking. sometimes. 90% of our

vice-president olague: i would like to move to approve. comissioner antonini: second. it sounds like by enclosing there may be opportunity for more security, but if it is not enclosed, there is none. comissioner sugaya: i would like to have a condition. i would like to of the staff work more closely on the design. particularly the corner aliments seem a little heavy-handed, and of the whole structure could be likened of a little bit in some way, i think it would make for a better project. >> yes, definitely. >> perhaps we could move it into a slightly more modern vernacular. if looks so traditional it almost looks phony. >> i have a problem with the four corner thing. >> commissioners? >> they work with the staff and architect. >> on that motion to approve the conditions including working with staff to prove the design.
