if you really want to create this type of pdr space we request at the very least 1/3 to two thirds pdr to public storage similar to the proposed ratio for office space. we would be thrilled to use this as a pilot project under the plan. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> good afternoon dr. espinola jackson here. i would like to say i have lived in hunter's point, bay view hunter's point for the last -- since 1948, and i have a concern with the pdr, the zoning change, because what occurred is someone applied for a change with the pdr at 3453 street and we in the community oppose that area being set up as a clinic, but guess what? it's a clinic there with babies coming there, and it's very toxic there. if you don't know the area you shouldn't be voting on this. i'm not talking about the storage. i am talking about other areas because the cac that you just set up a couple of months ago i went to the last meeting they didn't even have a quorum so they couldn't vote on this, and i have a concern with this rush through dealing with the shipyard because this would even includ

and maybe for some blended pdr. so i will make a motion to continue. i don't know what kind of date staff feels would be appropriate to get through the kind of things that we want to hear. because we want to get an idea of understanding the fees? and also whether or not we should maintain some pdr zoning for part of the building or not? so if i could get an idea of what kind of time it would take for staff to work out the questions that seem to have been raised today? >> might i present four weeks out, june 5th, maybe. >> that would be fine to me and so i move continuance to june 5th. >> second. >> commissioner hillis? >> i am supportive of a continuance, but i think what i would like to see, too, when it comes back, we seem to have made this leap from this is -- i think well first of all we're working with the current sli zoning. this is it zoned sli. but there is an exemption where you can have other uses when there is an historical building. but it seems to me that the preservation commission and we're being aske

pdr space to equal.75 on any lot where the existing pdr use is demolished -- this is essentially the first floor and to see this even in historic buildings, so the office value of the rest of the building can certainly support that economically in this booming neighborhood. so we respectfully request that the commission deny the conversion the 660 per 3rd street. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. >> good afternoon, commissioners and happy international workers day. it's very opportune this matter is coming before you on international workers day, really born of rights of organized labor. i am here to actually speak in opposition economic development agency and our goal to build asset development and wealth for low to moderate income families in san francisco and this is one of the sectors that offers a living wage and allows access to jobs for people that don't necessarily have full number language proficiency or a college degree. so changing 80,000 square feet of manufacturing feet to commercial office space would be detrimental to the populations that need these jobs. san fran

everyone loves pdr and everyone is leaving now. don't you like muni? okay. the pdr crowd is gone. so colleagues i called for this hearing today to receive our quarterly muni service performance update. about a year ago given a concern i and many people have about the reliability and performance of the san francisco municipal railway i called for a hearing and then asked muni to provide quarterly reports on certain aspects of its performance including vehicle availability, break downs, on time performance, over crowding or lack thereof, and service disruptions, and so forth. some of the key indicators of how well the system is doing. colleagues we know that muni is a key aspect of the future livability and economy of our city. we are a growing city. we have grown by 75,000 people in the last decade. we are projected to grow by 150,000 people. the bay area is projected to grow by 2.1 million people in the next 25 years and transit has to be part of that future. we cannot

it's really easy to have an unrentable pdr space by expecting office rents from the pdr industries. so your actions on each individual lot change the mindset, change the thinking of the property owners and developer community in a way that simply raises the rents for everyone, who is trying to do pdr. it's removing space for manufacturing. it's making it harder for the existing businesses that have been

there's a bunch of folks i know with pdrs have set up new live work spaces. not really live work spaces, but that's all over the mission and south of market now and people living in alternative family settings, artists, people in the tech industry so sort of the -- i think that when that designation was set up, we didn't know how it was going to be applied on the ground. and in terms of the building code, we never really thought, you know,, like, how are we going to get these units to be, you know, up to code, not present a hazard and at the same time, allow people to live their lives and thrive so that's another issue. a third issue would be sros. all over the tenderloin and china town we have sros coming to the end of their lives. there are buildings that have been around for sometimes over 100 years and we don't really have a plan for how to deal with them. they provide housing for the lowest income folks and the anchors of the communities like china town and tenderloin. it's a planning issue more than a zoning issue, but we have to deal with both. so thos

>>ordinance retroactively authorizing the san francisco public defender's office (pdr) to accept and expend a grant in the amount of $395,231 from the department of justice, office of justice programs, bureau of justice assistance to create the first local and nationally applicable checklist system to better guide attorneys through key moments in cases, ensuring competent representation and avoiding costly errors; and amending ordinance no. 160-13 (annual salary ordinance, fy2013-2014) to reflect the addition of one class 8173 legal assistant grant-funded position (0.50 fte) at the pdr for the period of october 1, 2013, through september 30, 2016. >> okay, thank you, thanks for being here. >> good afternoon i am with the public defender's office here to announce that the office was a recipient of the bureau of justice's assistance encure anling innovation, for the federal grant, and it is in keeping with the department of justice's strategic plan of improving the quality of indegent defense in the nation and assuring the administration of yus and reducing unnecessary confinement and

on the edge of an established neighborhood and serving as a transition point between residential and pdr to the south. consistent with the umu zoning. our original mass when we looked at the site came to 300 units if he we were building as big a project as possible. over the two-year process we held about 15 meetings and landscape design charrette as well and summarized some of the main concerns, and some of them including the building being no monolithic and too dense and more need for open space. this is a look at our first pace of revising it and reducing density and dropping the boiling down to 275 units. we continue to break do you mean the massing and stepping back at the upper-levels, as well as separatinging from you are neighbors in the residential enclave and stepping back even further to about up to 64' wide setback from our neighbors to the north. this is a view of the code minimum for our mid-block passage, 20' where we started and commanding up to 64' wide on tennessee street. and this is a section view of some of the challenges that we worked through with our neighbors to

as you turn to 23rd street we felted this area was more transitional and on the other side it's pdr. it's a lot less developed and a lot less housing and thought we could introduce more mixed-use and anchor with retail space. then have a building where we have a very glassy corner; a lot of units facing the street to be able to animate the street and cut up the building into different parts to be able to breakdown the scale and try to kind of transition over to tennessee street. the buildings had a middle band that perforated and housing units that the community wanted to see that could be used in different ways and really accommodate different types of families and clients. as you turn over to tennessee street, this is where the scale really breaks down here the street is much -- right now it's fairly undefined and not a sidewalk, but you go down the steps and enter dog patch neighborhood with the beautiful edwardian buildings. it also here has a number of townhouses that face directly to the street, off of the grade, with stoops to be able to provide that family housing that is als

this ordinance is intended to do a number of things to make it easier to get pdr space and make pdr spaceore easily approved and workable. commission heard this ordinance on march 13th and voted unanimously to recommend that the board approve the ordinance with a few modifications. the legislation was reintroduced in april to incorporate your modifications. and at this week's monday hearing there were several public comments in support of the legislation as it was drafted. a few members of the public spoke in support of the legislation, but want to see further modifications made to the cap in the amount of office that would be allowed for small enterprise work spaces. supervisor campos came to the land use hearing and announced he was planning on introducing such a cap when the legislation reaches the full board. supervisor wiener expressed some dismay that some of the public was still advocating for changes even after some compromises had been made to garner their support. all these members of the committee and supervisor campos spoke favorably and then voted unanimously to send to the f

at the full board the pdr ordinance you you've heard of was passed on the final reading and other than supervisor mar's reintroduction of the controls we'll hear on may 5th no other new ordinances this week >> thank you commissioner antonini. >> oh, thank you very much for your report. i have a question. on the street widths not having studied this which when is typical around the city for the western edition and neighborhoods that have been here except for geary >> commissioner, i think in the older be residential neighborhoods of the city the residential streets are typically around 20 the 20 feet that aaron talked about was the 20 feet clear between parked cars and that's typically what the older neighborhoods have and the traffic licks and the sidewalks and the right-of-way. so the city's i fire code that the state code that the city adapted was 20 feet but the fire department is concerned about operationally what happens during an emergency and want 26 foot clear we've been in discussions because our concern is it creates problems or encourages traffic to drive faster and that's t

our non-profits are vulnerable and our pdr businesses are vulnerable. so we have keep stakeholders who have vulnerable to increase in the minimum wage on top of health care payments and on top of paid timoff and on top of all of the other taxes and fees that we pay in the city. so this just makes san francisco less affordable for the small, independently-owned, sort of traditional many low-margin businesses. so i think now the task at-hand -- so the answer is that we don't know what is going to happen. we think something will happen and there will likely be collateral damage and what is the net effect of that on our economy? i think there is a general belief that our overall economy is going to continue to expand on the backs of the technology boom; that what we are talking about here is going to be a blip. and probable undetectable in terms of overall success in san francisco. with that being said, the minimum wage is intended to address a particularly vulnerable group of employees, and unfortunately the employers of those employers are largely the bus

we identified the prior use there as pdr when in fact it was previously it was a prel office building. we also envision for this site the power house at building 102 to become a restaurant or other commercial use, industrial use to become arts or (inaudible) and you will hear later more about the atrium specifically and things we have accomplished since our last meeting to address public access at that location. as part of the ceqa process, as i mentioned last time when i was before you in april, the project impacts are addressed fully in the eastern neighborhood final eir and the project is exempt from environmental review. and rather than going through the full eir, it qualifies for a community plan exemption which identifies mitigation and improvement measures and avoids significant negative effects on the project on the community. happy to report that on may 7 the city planning department approved the cpe and also the corresponding mitigation measures that i will address next. on to the mitigation monitoring and reporting program. the port in partnership with odi, our development
