, i would focus on the blue-purple parcels. those are now owned by a state entity. effectively, on those parcels, the city no longer has zoning or land-use control. furthermore, the rent ordinance no longer applies. to be direct, rent-controlled no longer exists in those parcels. s.f. state has honored a non- binding agreement to protect all of the existing tenants in those units when it acquired those units. i want to emphasize s.f. state has been a good partner. but s.f. state does not need to follow any of our rent ordinances or our local zoning controls. our concern is if over time the growth plan -- additional parcels. in that circumstance, the city would have effectively no say in those parcels and the protection of rent control. the way we have designed the development agreement would actually impose contractual obligations that run with the land in the form of nsr's. that would require replacement units and rent control for a transfer to take place. that would help protect against the further encroachment and loss of pr

however we have some concerns that including parcels, just, you know, several parcels it is a baseline for what we know to be an incredibly lengthy and expensive planning process is somewhat problematic. we have suggested language in our letter that would read zoning changes that involve several parcel or blocks should always involve significant community outreach. additionally, zoning changes should always be made as part of a community-based planning process. that is our suggestion. thank you very much for your consideration. >> good evening commissioners. tim colin on behalf of the housing administration. i would like to demend planning staff for their heroic work. it has been going on almost three years. the task of threading the needle and finding -- on the contentious issues right now. it is relatively rare that you get a chance to look at an advisory document that raises so much contention and raises the temperatures of so many people. and as far as i can tell, in our friends at coalition san francisco neighborhoods received the housing neighborhood as a document to prevent chan

, and locally, the octavia market in octavia boulevard parcel, we have transformed a lot of the parcel to active gardens now. we've done something i think remarkably beautiful, to the point that now we are beginning to see the economy is returning to better health. that pause is going back to ready, set, go. employers are seeing the ability to take back the parcels that they had been assigned. those gardens are in serious jeopardy of being displaced. i hope that through a larger urban agriculture picture, what we decide to design is more than community gardens, but literally the relationship in community neighborhoods, to provide the same kind of protocol and baxter up to make -- and back strap. i agree. green is considered to be a very calming color. these kinds of pieces of law should be supported. >> supervisor mar. supervisor mar: i want to acknowledge that supervisors cohen weiner, and i heard from the planning department -- the sentences go urban alliance that -- the san francisco burbot alliance. it is remarkable how they have built strong legislation with supervisor chiu and th

this plan contains 17 parcels and 10 potential projects sites. nine of the 10 project sites already received entitlements and they comprise about 2500 units of housing. we anticipate completion and absorption of all of those projects sometime around 2022. here is the back of the -- a map of the ifd where you recommended approval. there are 17 parcels, but there are actually 10 development sites. nine of which have already received entitlements. if you look to the left, you will see the landing site. -- lansing site. another reminder of what the scope of public improvements that we are discussing to finance, there are three new parks. the infrastructure plan includes be redesigned of pretty much all of the streets in the area. bill received essentially a better streets redesign makeover. all of the design work was done prior to 2005 and is included in the master plan that the planning department published which was approved by the board of supervisors in 2005. we updated the estimates as part of the proposal, and we are looking at about $32 millio

the bus or train, restoring order reusing the historic geneva office building and reusing the yard parcel for a development that will bring positive activity to that area. i must say i, that upper yard has to be preserved for the development, not additional space for the art. we will be working toward that goal together. i have asked city departments to take the following steps starting now -- install solar powered signs and improve other informational sign it. clean up the news rack areas. you've got the update on that already. improve the san jose avenue boarding platform that is already funded and will be constructed as part of the larger project. close off the unsafe walkway which will no longer be necessary when the new platform opens on san jose avenue. we are cleaning the area twice daily with heavy cleaning my regular basis. we need a new class -- a crosswalk, countdown signals at ocean avenue and i 280 would be of the reach city college. this is scheduled to be completed by late 2012, but i have asked the mta to expedite this for earlier completion. i have spoken to the maintenan

police in scotland are investigating a sending of parcel bombs. he has previously been threatened by protestant extremists. james cook reports. >> this is a story that the police asked media organizations, including the bbc not to report while they tried to catch the people involved. we are able to now report the details and say that parcel bombs were sent on three separate occasions to the manager of celtic football club, a former member of the scottish parliament who is a well known celtic fan in political circles at least and paul mcbride, the high profile advocate in scotland who is also well connected to celtic, represented the club in the past and has made outspoken remarks about basis against the club. that is the background to this. what we know is that these devices were sent on three different dates, the 26th of march, 28th of march and the last on the 15th of april. two of the devices were intercepted by the royal mail. the service delivered to the office at the time an m.s.p. she is now not standing again at the parliamentary elections

the rights and obligations go with those parcels. there are extensive protections. in sum, the development agreement is a miniature constitution for governing development in the next 30 years of this person. everything that happens in this happens under the framework of rules set up in this development agreement. with that, i am going to focus on the economic analysis which conducted. these are the highlights. this document has been posted on the planning department website for some time. it is a public document. any member of the board can download it. we published it many months ago. there may be one final update before this appears before the board in may. but everything i am citing here is presented in much greater detail on line. simply put, we have estimated this development agreement achieves $500 million of net additional public benefits. these constitute about $200 million in capital improvements, many of those things that josh was pointing out about infrastructure improvements. all of these add up to a pretty considerable s

i would suggest just eliminating the two words, parcels or. so that it would read zoning changes that involve several blocks. other than that, i'm satisfied that this is a high-end policy document whose time has come. commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: thank you. i have a few concerns. guess in the beginning i want to raise something that has been raised often. the increased density is not required to meet a housing reallocation within an existing housing stock. in other words, the way we have -- the entimements we have made, or the various areas where projects have already been entitled and if, in fact, they follow through with building the units that are projected, that -- and we use infill housing that is appropriate to the present zoning that we don't have to change the zoning density in existing neighborhoods, that in order to meet the quota. >> i think what you're saying is to meet our allocation we don't have to rezone. that's right. the housing element does not call for rezoning or changing density anywhere in order to meet

on market street that will be developed and its what the community would like to see in the parcelsng developed. an important aspect, of course is affordable housing >>. the castro has become a home for families with children. on occasion public expressions of gay sexuality have disturbed parents. how can this be addressed. >> gay neighborhoods are evolving and changing. no neighborhood, none in district 8 or in the city or country is stuck in time and frozen. you evolve, things change, there are dynamics and pressures whether economic or new housing and you have to respond to this. one of the things i see as my mission is the sustainability of the castro. i think there is concern that the dynamic of the castro is changing. >> a lot of families are moving to the castro a lot of gay families. and district 8 throughout district 8. what that has meant is i think that fewer people want the street fairs and parties. even john stewart in the daily show made fun there are straight families moving to the castro complaining about the sex shops with dildos in the window. it was called. there

they want to levy a parcel tax $180 a year over four years. >> we're pushing the envelope to convince people this is worth while because the money stays here. it's for our kids and sacramento can't touch touch it. >> the $3 million they hope to collect annually will help keep instructional days and maintain afterschool programs. the governor's proposal to extend taxes would have made it on the june ballot. >> the extension hasn't gone through. we have been reduced over 20% already from the state. so with it not going through it's 25% of our funds is missing. we educate all the same children for the entire school year with 25% less money. >> union city lafayette has a mail in parcel tax measure to keep core programs. there, they are asking for $176 annually over four years. in both cities property owners older than 65 would be exempt from the tax. union city's parcel tax would not save the middle school and high school libraries which will act in early march. that is why christine smith says she is voting against the measure. >> the libraries will be closed and that would be someplace

we have a few parcels left over at 10th and mission. there'll be no minimum parking requirements on the streets. the other piece of this -- extending the parking pricing. many of these areas have seen office grow. and there is a provision downtown, we felt that, when parking is available for the commuters, we were going to have this in such a way -- this is parking for entertainment users, to minimize commuter parking. this is the kind of parting with the greatest impact. we will extend this into some of those areas. the fourth street corridor, and within walking distance of market street. areas around the fourth. this is some of the thinking beyond the mission bay control. there are some very old controls, written in the early '90s. superseded by the control with the areas that require less parking. the reason we want to take up this section was that you get rid of a lot of planning code. we just replace this with four words. the other thing was, you continue to go ahead and do planning. the idea of no minimum margin requirements -- th

two days later, a parcel was delivered to his constituency office.he firm -- the fourth office to paul mcbride was posted here. but what linked the targets? paul mcbride accused the scottish football association of bias against celtics. three days later, the bomb was found. chris was pictured wearing a celtics' top at the british parliament. six days later, she received a bomb. and in clashed with rangers two days -- and neil lennon clashed with rangers two days before he received one. this right in 1980 is just one example of the hostility between protestant unionist rangers and irish catholic celtics. it is rooted in historical fact. >> to my knowledge, nothing like this has never happened before, either weather is sports related or society related. this could potentially be a watershed. >> why? because may be attempting to murder people over football will shock scott went into action. >> you are watching bbc news. these are our top stories. an oscar-nominated journalists has been killed while covering the conflict in western libya appeared fightin

there are open space parcels. there are setbacks. they are all detailed in great detail so that in the future when the developer or some developer goes to improve these blocks, there is no question about where the boundaries are for each block. the last point i wanted to make about the urban design was that we do have some taller buildings in the project. we have also taken a lot of care to craft guidelines for the taller buildings so that we have buildings that are going to be a little more sensitive and a little more interesting than the existing powers on site, that have smaller floor plates that are well articulated and provide are correct -- architectural and visual interest on the site. i'll move into the open space portion. the purpose of this is to orient you in a little more detail about the spaces -- the open spaces provided at the site. we glossed over the last time. i will go counterclockwise around the site. one of the most important open space proposals in the project is the neighborhood commons. one thing that is lacki

that would give us the ability to get back a parcel and another 100 units of affordable housing. again, we do not think this is the recommended cut. it degrades the livability of the island. but we wanted to put it out there as a possible reduction. the third alternative is combining the two, which gets you back to 2200 affordable units or 2715%, basically taking the inclusion area off the table as well as taking those reductions. this chart shows you what that means as far as the total affordable program. moving on to the transaction quickly, we saw this before. this is kind of how the transaction is organized. there is a disposition and development agreement that tida interest into with the developer. there are other plans that attach to that. as well as some stand-alone documents, there was a bit development plan, a development agreement design review process as well as our agreement with the navy. all those remain the same, except we replaced the redevelopment plan with, as i discussed, the special use district, which is housed in the planning codes. the planning commission w

me on what was there before do radoterras but i think there was a convent or institution in that parcel and if you look at the map, dorado terrace -- you don't get the connectivity to the surrounding neighborhood and then of course you're not far from engleside terraces and o.m.i. on the other side of ocean so whoever has gone in there has always had a challenge. blockbuster has gone out for other reasons, of course, but there was a safeway across the street and i'm happy that cvs is going in and i think it will innervate that area which has been frequently boarded up and will start to bring more foot traffic to the area which i think will help everybody. so i'm supportive of the project. i think it's a step in the right direction. president olague: commissioner borden? commissioner borden: i likewise, i thought the questions were interesting that commissioner moore and commissioner miguel brought up. i grew up with cvs and i'm familiar with the store. my dad gets all his medications there on the east coast. when i lived in washington, d.c., the cvs was my all-around store so i'm famili
