peskin does not think that the numbers are quite correct. to say that the guidelines were created for demolition and construction guidelines in 2003, when i was the president of the building inspection commission. >> he did not write the guidelines and we created the guidelines and we need not only the planning demolition guidelines and also meet the dbi guidelines. we meet both and we welcome the peer review and we will pay more if that is required. >> thank you. >> we do not want another permit. >> thank you, your time is up. >> mr. sanchez. >> thank you, scott sanchez, planning department. has noted the property at 125 crown terrace, located in a single family zoning district, the appellant's property is in a r1 zoning which higher density which explains why there is a apartment building. this is the latest incarnation that had filed a demolition and construction in 2008. and abandoned that project and sought the alteration permit that is on appeal before you today. that was filed in october of 2011. and we performed section 322, neighbor

attempted to reform san francisco's c-e-q-a process without success including former supervisors peskin, ma, and alioto-pier. again, i think our board is engaging in that process in terms of what the best way that reform looks. so, today i am formally introducing, after spending the ma last month working with the city attorney's office, and willing with planning, on a different perspective in terms of how that reform can happen. i'm proud to introduce that legislation today with supervisors campos, avalos, and mar, and hope to have more co-sponsors by the end of the week. the first focus of this legislation is clear posting and stronger notification requirements. if we are going to set deadlines on the back end that curtail when appeals are no longer eligible, then we also need a lot more work on the front end. currently most of our projects are not noticed. and in supervisor wiener's proposal, 85% of projects will continue to not be noticed. our proposal proposes to strengthen notification requirements for potentially historic projects and projects that tend to escalate. also specific

you have a letter from former president of the board of supervisors ann peskin who is one of the chief sponsors of this legislation as well as former supervisor jake mgoldric is here and he was the chief sponsor and the author of this legislation and they are both saying that the interpretation given to this section by the department is incorrect. and the department tries to explain it, we attached as to our brief that this was attempted to be explained to commissioners sagaya at the planning commission and that section of the back and forth is attached as exhibit 20. if you look at the newspaper article that we attached

president, supervisor, madam clerk, deputy city attorneys, my name is aaron peskin. i have met with myself and i am representing myself. [laughter] >>> so, let me do a little history, a little good, a little bad, a little ugly. on the history, as you know, ceqa was amended in 1999 to allow e-i-rs to appeal from nonelected bodies to elected bodies. the board of supervisors, not in 2006, but 2001 adopted legislation that allowed for said appeals that are set forth in 31.16. let me commend all of you, supervisor kim, mr. chairman, and the entire board, for grappling with an issue that the board that i served on grappled with for 12 years. i introduced one. i failed. fiona ma introduced one, she failed. ma kelp a introduced one after i left the board. she failed. i think you guys can get this done. that is the good. let me deal with the bad. 31.16 which has worked just fine for 12 years ~ and let me associate myself with comments of mr. welch, needs not be changed, not one word of it, supervisor wiener. let me deal with the ugly. i would respectfully suggest, mr. preside

and as supervisor peskin mentioned, and sometimes people forget he was the first one that tried. supervisor alioto-pier and supervisor ma, this has been going on for a long time. there are always reasons it doesn't move forward or gets delayed. there are projects that are impacted by this. the dolores park appeal which i think someone suggested some sort of oddity in the timing, we were all floored when that came in last week. no one saw that coming. and the fact is that right now the way the law is today, that was the process in my district, it took a year with dozens of community meetings and hundreds of members of the community participating where we had a good consensus result. after -- if the planning commission confirms the negative declaration, that can be appealed to the board of supervisors while that park project is in construction and it will have to stop as soon as it's filed. so, these appeals are happening. even the threats of them has an impact. even if the appeal doesn't materialize. so, i respect, supervisor, your view on a number of the substantive issues. i don
