and you're allowed to do pdr there and the protected pdr districts like sally pdr and part of the ports. now the punch line 1/3rd in unprotected and 1/3rd in protected. your plump oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light is not coming from downtown but from his house a lot of pdrs are not located within the pdr district is at any time 2/3rd's are protected 1/3rd in districts that are not in residential districts. so what has planning done to protect pdr it has been rezoned. here's a map that shows 12 inch or 5.6 of the city plan is protected this includes 90 acres the red south of market. the confluence of the showcase and then the big cluster that's the waterfront bay area the largest and very important los angeles police department along the ports like all the piers. what else is done we allow pdr in the districts we don't reconclude it from going into pdr districts. we have chocolate on valencia street they choose to be in the neighborhoods why prescribe that from happening we've closed gaps in the past. we support new pdr businesses we be are recently came here for legislation

we support new pdr businesses we be are recently came here for legislation for pdr businesses there's pdr reduced fees and we sensitized new work and work with sf dot made on behalf of the pdr sector no sf repair we're happy to work with them but on behalf of the sector it's important to have an organization before there wasn't a unidentified voice to speak to the needs of the sector. what are our next steps we're working with supervisor cowen's office to support legislation to protect pdr if landmark buildings you'll be seeing support pdr new projects that is a graphic of the new facility on pier 48 as part of the giants new development as well as the rehabilitation of the new buildings and health department. i have a guess you'll hear about this. this is a picture of the flower mart part of the discussion do i want to see the land redeveloped make sure the flower market is on site that's part of the conversation we're mulling all kinds of idea inquiring new development making sure that central soma maintains an industrial presence because they permitting provide 3 percent of the pdr

whether we should change it to effectively pdr zoning that's the most protection for pdr like in the bayview or encourage it but allow some of it to it be converted. i think it's important to discuss that head on because that's the issue that we are hearing about and that many of you have expressed concerns. duo to date at central soma it should have conversion conversion allow ability it's important we have an honest conversation about that >> thank you commissioner sugaya. >> go ahead i'm chewing on something (laughter). >> commissioner hillis. >> i think we talk about protecting the existing passenger door pdr it's important especially, if it's zoned for pdr. we're establishing values that are lower than someone that would get in office space so a disincentive to try to convert so clearly we have to protect and enforce the pdr but on the other side too how do we build, you know, new pdr. that's a tougher nut to crack. there's no i don't know if there is any pdr being built and the ones we've talked about are cross subsidizing with offense particularly with the produce mart how was

what are the characteristics or pdr first and foremost pdr can't compete on rents with other uses in our economy we have office and housing that can pay much more in square feet than industrials the industrials don't pay enough to build anew given the land costs the office intensity 3 to 5 times descender so the office districts are near the transit. of course, industrial uses have a concern about nuisances since the old days of factories and rendering now flower marts and furniture making but it still can be noisy and some of those are very good neighbors. and also it didn't necessarily provide a convenience to for day to day uses pdr uses are used occasionally they can't be offshore the things today you can't offshore your plumper. what's the roll in the economic it supports our technically and tourism and rely on pdr uses to the hotel you need your listen no one cleaned and printing services, etc. so those serve the local economy this is a graphic that comes out of the san francisco economic streaming it identifies pdr as one of the drivers for the economy 3 support tech and touri

transaction but while acknowledging it's hard we're committed and oewd to find a way to produce more pdr space where we can and i think some of the opportunities rest with the pier 70 project and other portland we have decisions to make there around the portland and the types of industrial uses around the port we may look at south of port that is an opportunity for the maritime but foreclosure other sorts of industrial we can put there. in addition when the city needs to acquire industrial space which we remove our facilities we talked we've worked hard with our department of real estate so we haven't pulled one of i wanted you to know we're looking and it's hard but there's opportunity within the city owned land and private owned los angeles along the waterfront the former site that are large sites we could look at keeping some pdr uses on that property >> and even the non-cross subsidies like the back lands. >> exactly. >> church chunk of land we can build using the affordable housing not necessarily the inclusionary but, you know, dewill you explain the cities land value. >> everyone

for the galleria property ass pdr tenants are important to us. those there are 0 those who have been successful and unfortunately two things the age of the internet and the immediacy of the goods is a crippleing thing in the recession we're looking for the pdr in the business plan that's the core of our business nor more than thirty years. >> so what's itself occupancy rate of building. >> about 90 percent for the 2 henry adams and the galleria less than 20 percent there's a financial occupancy that's below that. the occupancy numbers i stated are the obtain cyberspace >> their active businesses in the space and you said the galleria is 20 percent or less than 80. >> yes. >> that's a pointed question it it stems from feedback from our tenant have you refused to represent new leases for the building other than the first floor. >> we have month to month leases and spoken and addressed many of those concerns about what is this transition looking like we can't have a to my left because it continues to have all those approvals but we have and will con

certainly there's a lot of pdr spates it's going to stay empty when our asking spaces for pdr they have to contract there's a loopholes now i ask you to stop did madness and ask the planning department to do their job. thank you >> thank you, sir. >> supervisors mike pecuniary trades council i've been a long supporter of pdr under an understanding it has two aspects one passenger door either produces something that produces the needs of the city or the other aspect is that it employes a imply collar wells fargo like supervisor kim's. this building whatever it's supposed pdr function if house that function right now and it may support that or enhance f it in the city i think it's telling in the planning department's description of the building that it did service the function at the beginning of the last density but a preforklift type of building. i think then upper left with choosing between biz businesses that serves as one of the proponent testified high-end wealthy yours and businesses that are tech biz businesses that's not the kind of choice the board of supervisors makes they defe

support pdr in central selma we don't think that that's the place for industry to grow over the years this is not necessarily the right location given the lack of density of the jobs in pdr but it's important so we're looking to make sure that the industrial uses stay in the area maybe the pdr in existing building here's a shot of the flower mart so the flower mart stays there a contingent part we have legislation to protect pdr along main street it allows rail on 16 street and pdr we're working with supervisor campos office to protect. we're looking at engagement enforcement it's a huge initial we're a complaint based city we don't receive complaints for displace of employment but hopefully, we'll engage people with the pdr that are suspect looking. and finally hopefully to work with the transportation commission to study pdr at recreational scale typically in san francisco we're 47 square miles and yet we're trying to solve every problem well housing is 0 recreational issue and jobs and environmental issue so where industrial lands and movement and good studies will be important for

for the galleria property ass pdr tenants are important to us. those there are 0 those who have been successful and unfortunately two things the age of the internet and the immediacy of the goods is a crippleing thing in the recession we're looking for the pdr in the business plan that's the core of our business nor more than thirty years. >> so what's itself occupancy rate of building. >> about 90 percent for the 2 henry adams and the galleria less than 20 percent there's a financial occupancy that's below that. the occupancy numbers i stated are the obtain

good point i don't have my formal comments there's one item on your agenda the discussion about the pdr by steve we've asked and based on our requests asked steve to present that exact presentation for a similar dialog and report back to the planning commission any comments you feel are necessary to forward to them. >> is there any additional public comment seeing none. >> that places you in commission matters in regard to the pdr item and for the benefit of the general audience that will be called out of order and called after item 7350 bush before draft presentation review and examine so that will be called out of order. >> commissioners item 3 ports and announcement and none. >> item 4 draft minutes for the ar c june 4th hearing and the regular hearing of june 14, 2014. >> commissioner questions or comments. >> commissioner. >> i believe that i asked the president to inquire of the city attorney whether or not we could at some point have a presentation focused on the issue of what happens if the presentation is made to the commission and the facts that are stated in the presentation

knowing we're preserving 20 percent of the entire building as pdr and at the same time preserving one hundred percent of genealogical rae this is 3 hundred square feet of square footage >> there's no guarantees which anything in the future we won't be back here in a few years or mo

in terms of that june 18th hearing will staff have prepared an analysis of the pdr losses in the city at this point? i can check on that we'll be given the >> separate. >> i believe he's going to be giving a complete pdr presentation. >> i forgot the case. >> 63, third street. >> yeah. >> i'll definitely look at that. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further we, move on to general public comment not to sdpeed 15 minutes members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission except agenda items. with respect to agenda items, each members of the public can address up to 3 minutes. >> is there my general public comment. seeing none, general public comment is closed. >> commissioners that places you under our regular calendar item 9 u the moscone center from the environmental impact report the written comments will be received until june 20th. >> good afternoon jessica i'd like to take a moment to introduce elizabeth she joined the department in 12. we're really excited to have elizabeth as

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

a pdr to be trumped, pdr zoning to be trumped by historic zoning legislation. [speaker not understood]. it is a fantastically old building. with that, will allow the building to evict all of its tenants and convert the building to a office location for a pinterest. pinterest has publicly expressed their desire to be in that building because of its proximity to the design community, which is somewhat ironic. offers have been made to assist financially in the relocation of these businesses, but we all know that to break all this up and then hope that these small businesses get replaced, especially in the market that we are currently involved in, i can't even fathom finding a new place today for my business and what that would, you know, portend financially. i think we need to get educated on this one. this is an interesting -- you know, this has legislative -- some legislative implications as well. >> i would agree with commissioner dwight on this one, especially the design district. it's very -- it's important to the san francisco economy and it's part of the ci

i got a question on the proposed legislation by supervisor kim and pdr, pdr in twro districts regarding office conversionser. part of eastern neighborhoods which i assume includes those districts too allows for legalization of existing office units, office uses and i'm not sure, is this consistent with this or how is this different than what we already have in eastern neighborhoods? >> i haven't had a chance to look at the ordinance in depth, i believe when you landmark a build, it allows to convert as office as a right, so this would put an 18 month interim control that requires conversion for landmarks to go through the cup process. >> it seemed to me the overarching allowance for uses that were already in place and had been office but they had to be legalized were allowed rather it was a landmark building or not, i don't know, we'd have to get the clarification. i know this speaks only to landmark buildings but the other legislation, part of eastern neighborhoods i think deals with any uses that were of that category rather they're landmark or not. >> i believe you're correct on tha.

u.s. 101 and candle stick reconfiguration which also has a a rational by the developments but also a pdr by caltrain. finally i'll close of we continue to monitor the land vementsz in the area as it relates to how this bio county vision continues to hold together the projects with the developments that's happening roadway. if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> thank you. we may have questions later. >> thank you. >> thank you david in addition to david we have representatives from mayor's office of housing and the rec and park department as well as the mta in you have questions about the agencies rolls in the developments agreement they're here for questions. in terms of the steps we've outlined everything we've proposed should be changed in addition to what we outlined at the may eight hearing. the virile review they've byte put so it out on may 29th and the addendums will not change you may give or the need for mitigation measures. even though the density in the number of units increased in the first project the square footage decreased by a little bit more than ha

48 hills on line and why sf city can't protect us from office encroachment about the why to convert pdr if the office meets certain requirements and what struck me about the article it felt like we had been significantly lied to 0 by the project sponsor about whether or not the particular building as 660, third street it was going to be converted into office it had been office for 20 years and there was no recommendation of that in the staff report that the building was empty at the time and within a couple of weeks there had been many tenants in the building that had been there a lot longer than that that actually brings up a big concern because it also meant that the staff hadn't verified and done their due diligence to let us know that we should be paying attention to the fact that there were violations on this building because office was not permitted in that building it had been used that way since 1994. that was a concern of mine and let me see. i mean it's the bottom line about that there isn't, you know, we get certain amount of information the prospective is that, you know, we'

hondas that are a big presence and park rangers from rec and park and the police they proposal the pdr and the golden gate park area the hospital has it's on police department and some of the hospitals in the eastern district are the jurisdiction of the san francisco police so we partner a lot with them and another agency is the district attorney's office and march our station assistant da marking mark is here very actually with our police advisory committee as well. okay. so what's crime look like. crime is violent crime is very low in the strict much lower than citywide we want to keep it we're down across the board for major crimes and adopt in robbery almost 45 percent. it's unusual to have availability crime property crime is down with one exemption that is one that is breaking into cars it's placard us in the district it's the common report we have is breaking into cars by a long shot. a lot of that as the chief said trying it make user as less of an attractive target so it's less likely to have someone break a window in our car to keep thing not visible people losses consumers a
