ideas for the amusement park. you know, that was his dream. the man was just crazy about amusement rides. >> over the next decades, profits keep climbing. but the park's success is an exception to the rule within the industry. amusement-park historian jim futrell tells me that, since the 1960s, family-run operations like the trimpers' have become a dying breed. >> with the interstate highways and the shift to corporate theme parks, a lot of the family-owned parks fell by the wayside. >> what does a family-owned amusement park do with that kind of competition? >> well, i think you have to know your place in the market. >> trimper's did seem to know its place, trading on its rich history and tradition. >> no amusement park in the world has been owned by a family as long as this one. >> in the world? >> in the world. and these are rides that have been around for generations, and people come to these shore communities for generations. [ people screaming ] >> but nostalgia must compete with ever wilder thrill rides at

parking spaces. the store would have generated between $2100 and 2500 vehicle trips to day to the store. trader joes is a store where you load up on stuff and i know uber and lyft but you load up on stuff and you can get it home somehow and there has to be creative in what they do and i know the project that we were looking at at 15,000 feet created a demand from 1,050 to 1250 parking spaces per typical weekday. this was done by wilber smith associate with the overseeing of the planning department. in the end, we tried to work with trader joes on some mitigation measures and i know there was traffic calming at the corner of market and oey street in the end, trader joes only said they provide carts at a reduced rate. i hope that in 2019, trader joes has changed and that you don't want to retro fit your suburban model into an urban environment since you have several stores that do have parking. i'll go ahead and approve it but you have to have a traffic study. you would be crazy not to do it given what

for park and communities p whilwhile they are the most successful in parks, their success is matched to creating vibrant open space for everyone to enjoy and this makes them a natural fit for our partnership and to lead the fundraising campaign. at this time, i would like to invite the ceo of the parks to speak. >> i'm drew betcher and thank you for the opportunity and i want to give a shout-out to my leadership team. this is important to the citizens and county of san francisco. i just wanted to point out the history and experience of the park's alliance. we have been around since 1971, building and helping to build this city's rec and park department. i would say the rec and park department in san francisco is now one of the top recreation and park's department. it got there with advocacy and partnerships. that's what we are built on with 12 now community leaders that we organize every year and 200 community groups, that we're fiscally sponsored organization and most are in our parks but we're expanding. we are the first city to reach a ten-minute walk to parks and open space and c

of the city side park. so we'll be needing to plan in next year's budget, even if it is only for a few months, to maintain the eastern hilltop park in yorba buena island dog park, but the following fiscal year we'll have many more facilities coming in over the course of that year. so for hilltop park, o o.m.n.manual, we have the larger o.m. standards, that are setting the standards of maintenance island-wide, but this hilltop park will be the heights specific element for the specific finishes anand plantings within hilltop park. it will inform our development for next year. the draft table of contents that we've developed, and there is a little more meat behind this, but i wanted to keep it at a high level today. defining the levels of service for maintenance in the park, aggregating the warranty information, both contractor warranties for plants establishment and other things, as well as the physical warranties of the equipment installed in the park. and the landscaping section, including habitat and manag

they can't park in them.y're not legally allowed to park in yellow or white, but it's a way to provide more access without tying up a spot all day long like you would with a blue placard with someone who is abusing it. the green zone, we see abuse of those zones because people with placards are not subject to the time limits, which is why we're suggesting there is a reform, as you stated, would require state legislation as well that people who use those are not exempt from the time limits with the disabled parking placard. maybe they get twice the time limit because you need more time to get in and out of the vehicle, but as a way to reduce abuse in those types of zones. >> ms. smolinski: thank you. i'll be brief. thank you for presenting. i love a lot of the ideas, more white zones, reducing flag stops, et cetera. i'm curious, of course, the competing interest is parking. how do you balance that? curious what the analysis is like? [laughter] so one item i didn't touch on in the presentation is the framework.

some parks are hidden. you take a drive or ride to the city, you discover a new park or a hillside open to the public. so, to address your question, i think how do you frame that in a reasonable manner to the public? >> awesome. i'm thrilled to have this conversation about the question behind these bonds. >> what is an equity zone? >> so, an equity zone is the san francisco census track of our 20% of our disadvantaged communities. we're using sort of an e.p.a. standard, a statewide standard that measures income level, language isolation, and so on and so forth to determine that. >> is it a state term? >> yes. >> equity zone. >> it's not a state term, but we're using the california e.p.a. which has done a great job in understanding equity communities. >> yeah, i didn't know if that was a tax term, why it's called an equity zone. is it because people will get tax benefits in investing in them? >> no, it's not a tax. >> it has nothing to do with tax volume. >> it's a way for us to understand better, some of ou

lastly, i return back to golden gate park on this whirlwind tour of our park system. i did want to update the commission on a milestone in our efforts to make golden gate park safer for pedestrians and bicyclists. we were joined by supervisor vallie brown along with bike and pedestrian advocates and our sister agencies mta and public works earlier this month in golden gate park to celebrate the last of 13 raised crosswalks recently installed in golden gate park, capping three years of traffic-calming measures in the park as part of the city's vision zero initiative. we were joined by supervisor brown, walk sf, communications director lindsay, and in fact, we all, including me, helped stripe the new raised crosswalk on j.f.k. drive east of 8th avenue on october 3rd. it was the first time in my ten years i have ever operated a crosswalk striper, president buell, so we can check that one off the box. the improvement project was launched in 2016, following an executive directive from then mayor ed lee and includes floating curbs along the bike lane, striping, hit posts an

the park is in green.nd the red rectangle shows the approximate location of the front bed along sutter street. this is a photo of the new garden. and that is one of the boulders. and this is a temporary sign. the actual sign will be embedded onto the rock. and these are three photos showing similar types of signage in our parks. that concludes my presentation. thank you. >> president buell: thank you. >> i have one blue card. mickey? >> good afternoon. my name is mickey and i'm here to support the japanese community efforts to place a plaque in the issei rock garden and its wording. for the past 40 years i've lived at 1979 sutter street, which is right across the street from the park. and several times every day, my dog and i will be past this park and we see many people looking at it, observing it. and people from everywhere. those locals in the neighborhood, people from around san francisco, the bay area, and of course the tourists. and everyone has said this is a very, very beautiful unique garden. and

on park programming and park design. other dates to consider subsequents approval documents that are needed. i know that's a ton of information and i look forward to your comments. >> thank you very much. are you going to give us any information on the utility's entity? >> thank you so much. i should have done that. they have not formed an entity. there's non-status for the entity. the reason this is beneficial for the port is that the infrastructure that needs to be delivered, the black water treatment plan and energy treatment system have to be delivered whether it's for-profit or nonprofit. if they achieve status, they can receive a lower cost of financing and if they receive a lower cost, then the rate payers will not have to pay as much for water. that will show up in building expenses site-wide. if they can charge lower rates, our future buildings gain a benefit because there will be lower operating costs. so we're supportive of them being a nonprofit. we did include the communications we had with sf fuc on whether

parks bond. >> right. >> those have not been issued. >> i'm talking about the 2012 parks bond. it's that. >> right. a more detailed report would be key. >> got it. >> and with the content they get from here, i'll reach out and meet up and see if we can get to the bottom of it and get a report. >> and we'll talk about it in our next meeting. that will end up having some concerns, particularly as we go into the sea wall where we will have a lot more money. >> we certainly can do as part of our work planning for next fiscal year is to revisit the bonds we have audited and figure out which portions or projects are attributed to the port and we can use that as our way to narrow down the scope of our o g.o. bond projects. >> okay. >> great, thank you. >> okay, next item 1c is the schedule of upcoming bond issuances. you have a memo in your packet and our director of public fitness -- finance is here to answer any questions or comment. >> the sea wall, will that go to the board in april? >> it went to t

mclaren park is still a 300 an acre park with a lot of needs. this $10 million we're fully funding eight capital projects and augmenting funding for an additional four. the goal of having the work done in the change order is to deliver completed site for the community with a new playground, picnic area and restroom. as you can see -- oh. presentation. sorry. as you can see on the screen, a portion of the site directly overlaps between the restroom project and the playground. and it's at a critical point which is at the entrance. this is our ada entrance. if we were executing the contract in this manner, it would be challenging to potentially have two prime contractors sharing a site and we also didn't want to delay the project any longer. additionally we think the approach can save the project money by using a contractor that is already mobilized on site. it will allow us to better balance, cut and fill soil on the site. finally, we have a confirmed price from a contractor and don't have to go through the uncertainty of bidding the project separ

while all parking is underground in order to maximize usable open space, we feel the parking could be further reduced giving this transit oriented location. we appreciate that the project team includes different architects, and landscape architects helping to foster the feeling of a neighborhood built over time, rather than as a single master-planned project. 3333 california street creates a good place for people, and contributes to a walkable environment. if i may speak as past president of the planning commission, i have looked at the community plan without going into detail, they do not work. >> thank you mr. miguel. we have a shared concern over parking. in lieu. >> thank you, supervisors. i'm here to -- i'm excited to be here today because it sounds like we have a couple of things in common we all want our housing, we all love trees. that is some place start from. where some of us differ, i live down the street at california and arguello, i'm wholeheartedly supportive of this development. every weekend i have a choice of my 2-year-old daughter, do i go down to the commercial corr

aloe caution, turk, hyde minimummy park and woo-woo park renovations, this is the special park allocation. >> great. good morning. i'm with the department staff and great to have you all together today. before i begin, i wanted to note one correction to the planning commission's packets, the first attachment illustrating the turk hyde is correctly labeled as attachment b didn't should be attachment a. the item before you today is the approval of an allocation from the downtown park funds for two recreation and park department assets. the first is an allocation of $550,000 from the downtown park fund for the renovation of the minipark and the second of $600,000 for the renovation of willie woo-woo playground. they will continue to upgraduate the crucial neighborhood assets. the funding allocation considered today will withdraw $1,150,000 from the downtown park funds. attached is the staff report for rec part and the draft resolution that you all will be voting on today. with that, you would like to hand it off to the deputy director of planning at re rec k to provide additional details for

park being the largest second park one of the best kept secrets.t's exciting about this activation in particular is that it's the first of many. it's also representation of our city coming together but not only on the bureaucratic side of things. but also our neighbors, neighbors helped this happen. we are thrilled that today we are seeing the fruition of all that work in this city's open space. >> when we got involved with this park there was a broken swing set and half of -- for me, one thing i really like to point out to other groups is that when you are competing for funding in a hole on the ground, you need to articulate what you need for your park. i always point as this sight as a model for other communities. >> i hope we continue to work on the other empty pits that are here. there are still a lot of areas that need help at maclaren park. we hope grants and money will be available to continue to improve this park to make it shine. it's a really hidden jewel. a lot of people don't know it's here. >>> good morning, everyone. the meeting will

it's going to target commercial garages and parking lots with 100 or more park spaces, that's approximately00 sites in the city. it's going to require level-2 charging stations at 10% of those parking spaces. or a functionally equivalent number of fast chargers. and the compliance date is january 1, 2023. it requires good faith analysis of technical feasibility and ties the permit process to the permits issued by sfpd for commercial parking facilities. >> hold on. can you go back? is this existing garages? all of the garages in the city with 100 or more parking spaces? >> correct, existing. >> you say you tie it to the permitting process, most times they're already permitted, so how are you going to deal with the existing? >> they renew each year. they put in the paperwork, get approved. so there might be a tweak or two to make to the paperwork showing they're in compliance. >> supervisor safai: part of their annual renewal, we'll get them then? >> yes. >> supervisor safai: got it. thank you. >> okay. so there is also a waiver process. it focuses on three categories. one, is there sufficien

in their parking lot. >> reporter: while street parking may soon open up after the palo alto city council members approved a permit plan on monday, there's a catch. residents now have to pay 50 bucks for a yearly permit. >> i'd like to see us get at least one free permit. i shouldn't have to pay to have the ability to park in front of my house. >> i'm screwed. >> reporter: naveen says he parks in the neighborhood because in the area of palo alto where he works, there's a time limit or he needs an all day permit that he says he applied for half a year ago. >> so far they've been slow to respond. >> reporter: a parking predicament in palo alto that city leaders hope will be resolved with this pilot program. but ann hopes for tweaks along the way. >> i don't think it feels quite right that i have to pay when somebody who's 3 blocks away from me doesn't have to pay. beable to pay for up to 5 will permits at $50 each. according to the mercury news, the vice mayor supports charging the residents because of the cost of the parking program. maria medina, kpix 5. >>> bart riders had an extra cramp

and all of a sudden, he grkss he's off the park. i said, he's off the park?ompound. i said, i can't believe it. so i run out of my office. get everyone set. and nobody is there. >> we really had to scramble to get people on station. >> frantically on phone calls and radios, out of the starbucks, drop your coffee. everyone's got to go now. >> the adrenaline went through the ceiling. >> i'm literately at my office window, and there comes gusev. the fbi had two cars parked one behind the other in virginia avenue. one car contained camera and surveillance gear and the other an fbi agent in the car. so when they said he's right down the block, the fbi car pulled out. lo and behold, a beautiful parking shot for gusev to pull his car in. what a coincidence. and i'm watching all of this. >> he did exactly what we had expected. he parked his car right behind a van that we had that had video camera rolling with a guy in the back. and my secretary said, robert, you're going to have a heart attack here. i really was. he gets out of the car. feeds the meter and takes off

parking program that will guarantee free 90-minute validated parking at 3333 california street for customers of retail on the 3400 block of california street, which is the current laurel village retail. and with regard to the special use district, i'm asking for amendments to address some of the specific concerns i heard from neighbors about specific retail uses and hours of operation. the special use district specifies that the new retail will be zoned ncs which is the same zoning as laurel village. my proposed amendments would restrict hours of operation to 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. and the current zoning would allow businesses to stay open till 2 a.m and i think we did hear the community on that. i think that's too late. i think 12:00 a.m. is a reasonable compromise. would also remove certain types of commercial uses including auto services, mortuaries and drive-up facilities. i'm asking for an additional requirement of a cu for liquor stores, massage facilities anding a can you agriculture. i want to clarify never permissible under ncs adult businesses are not permitted under ncs and will

they said, parking is so horrible here. heard that, no -- [ laughter ] with these parking, so really having to look at creatively looking at curb management, so we're in the process of right now of actually having a community engagement of this curb management and how do we make it easier for people to park and easier for businesses to have people be able to come in and get what they need and get out so they're not parked there for hours. how do we, you know, get the uber eats and all of the other deliveries, where they have a place to park and can get in and out so they're not parking in barbara's driveway? so this is actually happening now and once again, the inner sunset park neighbor and merchants are at the tables saying we'll work with you and this is the only way i like to work because i came as a neighbor activist and i didn't like it when people did things in my naked an neighborhood andt when i walked out the door that it was done. so thank you to everyone for being here today. i'm really excited for all of the wo

parks is not here, but part of the m.t.a.'s scheme allegedly is to charge permit fees that are supposed to cover enforcement. i would love to ask mr. parks more about that, but he is not here. that concludes my non-response to public comment. >> any other public comments? seeing none, public comment is now closed. anything else? >> clerk: item 9, adjournment. >> meeting adjourned.
