like first street and third and fourth that are meant for cars and second street was the corridor that was for our residents and our small business owners and it's exciting to be here today as we work ok protected bike lanes on follow com -- follow so many street so we have streets dedicate for our pedestrians and psyche lists and i want to thank public works in particular christine and you really ran some of the best out reach meetings i have seen with door-to-door knocking and really large turnouts which is very difficult to do by the way and also i want to thank michael rig or as well for your work, many years of planning but of course, to our neighborhood residents because as much as we need a corridor for us this is still a major change for our residents and katie liedel who heads our south beach rincon mission bay association and alice rogers who is part of our south park improvement association who hads fought for it finally this year we were able to cut the ribbon on the beautiful new playground and park at south park and bruce part of our trance bay committee and patrick valen

getting off the streets. but getting off the streets is difficult for raven. we talk more and she reveals the devastating level of violence she fled as a kid to the. streets. i was listed as a juvenile runaway i was nine years old. my dad. have been in prison. much worse but in. ravens had to learn to be tough. but she's right on the edge. like more and more americans take here. she's trips deep in the cycle of long term homelessness. with no immediate way of getting out. when your life is the size of a teen can be a powerful tool. it's almost delivery day but with the news that raven's pregnant elvis is adding a special finishing touch to her tiny house. so i'm ok with just a little something to help her feel better and you know help her feel like she's got a nice guy to look at. elvis knows how important little details like this can be he's watched too many people lose hope on the streets since the city forced me to take houses away from people three people have died mainly due to being stuck out in the elements not having anywhere to go so it's it's crimina

street frontage over 50 feet. it requires variances related to rear yard and dwelling unit exposure. it proposes to meet the inclusionary housing program by paying a fee or participate in the mayor's office of housing and community development small sites program. [please stand by]cati . >> that will elegantly integrate into the neighborhood environment. it will add 41 units of housing with a good mix of one, two, and three-bedroom units, with over 75% multibedroom units suitable for families. it will add residents to the neighborhoods to boost the local businesses and stimulate the economy. it will add over 25 -- 2700 square feet of dramatic neighborhood serving retail space to a prominent city thoroughfare. it will provide.75 parking spaces perunit, which is lower than the original 1:1 parking spaces perthe city. since # 5% of the units are sizeable two and three bedroom units, the.75 parking ratio is important to the marketablity and the economic viability with the project. our collective goal is to hire 75% un

valencia street. it wouldn't interrupt their business. they could easily just have their drivers pick up and drop off on all the side streets that feed into valencia street. so, i think this is a simple ask. i'm going to be meeting with both companies going forward to put on more pressure. i wish as a local body that we had the ability to regulate these companies and force them to do what they should be doing to protect safety of pedestrians and bikers in san francisco. unfortunately, we still don't have that ability. so, they need to step up and do the right thing to protect the safety in this very, var dangerous -- very dangerous corridor. i'm supportive and looking forward to the results of this study. >> chairman peskin: commissioner cohen. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. good morning ladies and gentlemen. hi. i wanted just to share a little bit of an experience that i had with the mta earlier this year. we had a situation in district ten where mta removed parking spaces largely due to giving poor

we need to continue to coordinate with mta on the use of the streets and how we use the streets in the 21st century. there's already planning efforts underway within the mta and cta to talk about how do we rationalize our streets for much more delivery services and more shared mobility and more biking and pedestrians and robots and whatever else. that's where the discussion needs to happen. i appreciate the efforts the developers tried for their building but as far as the concerns some go beyond the planning department and what we're able to do in terms of rationalizing the street but i hope the work happens. there are conflicts and it is problematic. again, this corner is highly, highly trafficked at most times of the night. it's not the kind of corner where people can stop and jump out and get back in. it's really challenging. that's going to be -- it doesn't mean don't do the project, it just means there's a challenge. the last thing i'll comment on in terms of affordability, i concur with the staff just to go further the project has a gray area with affordability. it gets the densi

these same windows afford outlooks across 21st street, and this is up castro street. due to the boxiness and overall sides of the variances being considered, only a small portion of the desired view will remain. the views of castro street will be completely blocked. here's the views, currently, the view angles. the window we're talking about, by the way, is right here, and you can see that the development is pretty well blocking that window entirely. regarding privacy, you can also see how close the decks are to the -- to the bedroom window and the master suite. currently, they're isolated, and the bed in the master suite have a fair amount of privacy. the decks are going to be located less than 5 feet away from a bedroom window, so they're going to be really close, and i don't think a planter box is going to increase the privacy. we looked at the size of the development, analyzing 97 surrounding lots, including eight corner lots for f.a.r. the proposed project f.a.r. contains 2.6 times the average of the neighborhood, and it's very intense. the average building air i

streets to get to the bridge or whatever but this is an important street to think about as our main street and the street that is not only works for cars and buses but for bicycleists and pedestrians and businesses and for people just to hangout and i want to thank the mayor for his leadership and the supervisor for pushing us on this and my colleagues and all the agencies and staff of my department for getting us to this point and making this project happen. thank you, all. [applause] so outside of the city agencies there are many community partners that also joined us in creating division for the improvements to second street and many of the other city projects brian widener from the san francisco bicycle coalition will be here to say a few words but brain is an advocate for making the streets safer and not just for psyche lists which he represents but for all users he has been a partner with many of the city agencies and we meet with him and his group on regular basis and his job is to hold us accountability so he is a partner also and his goal and what he sets out is to make sur

to speer street -- to main street. tenth to main on the inbound. on the outbound it is from stewart to vanness. there are a most of other changes to traffic circulation which would come in front of this board for approval. some two-way streets and associated traffic changes to support those basic traffic vehicle restrictions on market street. those are key to the transit performance as well as safety improvements >> if you want to go broader on inbound i certainly wouldn't oppose it. great. then we will call this one of your public comment sessions where i can just as one citizen give you my views. i have concern about that design being so as i said before novel and unseparated. that we may have difficulty transitioning to it, and in addition when i think about the people who are on market street, many of them are visitors. so even if we have a sort of, you know, the city is aware how this works. the visitors see this new thing with delivery think trucks on the raised platform, cross bicycle paths. that concerns me. th

and derby street.n 1922, it served as the headquarters for the spring valley water company until it was purchased by the city. we're proposing to repurpose the building into a hotel with 77 guest rooms. the hotel brand will be an a.c. marriott, which is geared toward a demographic of younger travellers. as such, the ground floor -- the ground floor will have about 1600 square feet for restaurant-bar in addition to the 1,100 square feet for the lobby and the hotel lounge. along with other businesses that share the alley, we plan to reactivate derby street by cleaning it up and repaving the sidewalks and the street and by adding site furnishings such as planters and lights. the historic status of the building and the building ingress and egress cannot be altered easily, so the building's main entrance along mason street leads into an historic vestibule which will remain. and then the secondary egress is along derby street towards the end of the alley. the 77 guest rooms are small, european style king roo

street. thank you. and one more thing. in the record, we also have our letters from public works and fire department and the police department in regards to the renaming. thank you. >> thank you, ms. lopez. and thank you for that. and while this street and building are in district six, i want to say that richard, a.k.a. lucky, perry is actually a district three resident and, as you said, ms. lopez has long championed this on behalf of the iooaf, a storied organization that exists in san francisco since the days of the gold rush and, as you said, has been really a profoundly important civic organization. including as set forth in the resolution and the encouragement of literacy. so, with that, we will open it up to public comment and ask our first speaker to be richard a.k.a. lucky perry who is a renowned artist in his own rite and has his art studio in said building. mr. perry, please come on up. and congratulations for your dogged determination in convincing the district six office and my co

there is approximately 75 feet of frontage on 7th street and 75 street of frontage on langdon street. the surrounding area is characterized by a variety of us uses including industrial, residential and commercial use. the project site is within a quarter mile of several municipal transit lines and is within a half a mile of the civic center b.a.r.t. station. the project received an environmental review on september 26, 2017 and received a community plan exemption under ceqa. to date, the department has received four letters of support and one inquiry regarding the project. also, pursuant to planning code section 314, the entertainment commission was notified about the project because it was just under 300 feet within a place of entertainment, and although a hearing was not held on the project, the project sponsor is present and will address any issues. the project sponsor has included public yououtreach, wh is considered in your presentation. all new shadow cast by the project would occur early in the mornings, with all shadow gone by no later than 9:00 a.m. thus, the project would no

from ballpark to market street. it is a vibrant area so lots of foot traffic and the street was not working as well as it should have been. the redesign, can you authorized a while ago, has led to the construction project which is under way. it should be about a two-year construction project and we'll be actively working with public works to support the project and to minimize any adverse impacts to folks on the corridor. so, great achievement that that one broke ground. another project, which you have previously legislated that i want to give you an update on. i know it's gotten a little play in the news lately is upper market street. this is a project that you legislated -- i think it goes from octavia all the way to castro, legislated it earlier this year. two things have been happening since that legislation was approved here at the sfmta board. first that the department of public works, we have engaged with them to begin the detailed design process. so that we can complete that. and enter into a construction pr

we have what we need on irving street. we do not need mcd on everything street.our children do not need mcd in their life. i have five grandchildren. think about the children. i would like to ask you that, would you put mcd project in your loved one's place? >> supervisor breed: next speaker, please. >> hi, my name is christy. there are large numbers of centers and have proven that the mcd at this location is inappropriate and undesirable and not welcome. this is conditional use permit. please respect our voice. as parents we know that events of the marijuana are out of the parents' control during our absence. due to the peer pressures, children might be subjected to marijuana toxicity and neurological damage. how can i not worry? this is the picture that i took on -- sorry -- this is the picture that was taken of the location on the 23rd, on the bus stop, it's a high school student taking marijuana. we all knows that they're under age, but how can they have access to it? >> supervisor breed: thank you for the comments. next speaker, please. >> good evening, ladi

some areas are slippery and snow covered, especially the side streets and neighborhood streets. use caution and leave extra time. we have seen crews out and about, but again, you'll need time to clear off the cars before you hit the road this morning. katherine scott channel 6 "action news." >> mobile 6 has done that night and clear and ready to go on the side streets in south philadelphia. we're on 11th street where we have lots of cars parked on either side and some of the road surface, somewhat visible, but do be careful because it could be slick out there. >> staying outside, let's give you a look at the roads in bucks county. trish hartman is live along street road in warminster, traffic will start to pick up soon, we hope people slow down a bit. >> reporter: absolutely, people for the most part seem to be taking their time on street road in warminster we're near the intersection of 263. people are taking their time coming into this parking lot, parts of street road are covered in snow as we came here this morning. centennial school district which include students from warm

and it's across the street. maybe we can look across the street and see what's there and the mere ability to ask. i don't know if the project sponsor did and i would love if they said i tried and they'll do their own development in the future and it's fot a possibility. but it is right in front of us. i want to make those important -- to me, important comments. but do support this kind of growth and density on these transit corridors. >> thank you. johnson, you were up next. >> i'll go ahead. so i appreciate this project. i appreciate supervisor farrell and before i go into my questions, comments and potential scruggss i wanted to ask the project sponsor, did you say there was a threat of a lawsuit on your project? >> yes -- well, implicit. the support of the home ms project. >> i thought i heard that. i wanted to make sure. i'm going to start big and go smaller. i want to make it very clear to everyone here that some of the contortions that we are trying to do around affordability and project design are because

>> so we're currently located at 50 ivy street facility on mission street at 101 grove street at 1360 mission street and 1650 mission street. >> and you will vacating these places? >> yes. >> all except for 50 i.v. so when we're able to make the move we will be in 50 i.v. and then at 440 turks so we'll be in two locations. >> that's good to know. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> any public comments on this item come on up you have two minutes. >> hi. >> my name is and i work for the housing clinic we oversee three programs i oversee three programs which is a thorough residents in the tender loin and latino families and code enforcement and we came to know about this going back on history threw a that's what the department was proposing and there was a lot of community as to there was no community in the process it would not fly in any other neighborhood this way so there was processes but i have to disagree with the department that the final plans the concrete final plans were not put out to the community and i actually gained a lot more information coming to this meeting i would not ha

it's a lot of reasons why people street it like a boulevard or street, not like a

i'm putting myself at more risk by picking up these needles in the streets and keeping them off the streets and by people using the facilities. it's a win-win. i had it all planned out and as soon as i got up here i lost everything. thank you. >> commissioner chow: thank you. you did great. next, please. >> my name is kevin. when i use drugs in public i'm afraid i will be seen by children who have enough things to deal with today's day and able with you name it. it's the last thing kids need to worry about being distracted as far as what they need to be focussed on the things they must be focussed on a daily basis like their school work. just being a kid, you know. 'cause i remember growing up in louisiana and georgia there's fog -- nothing like what we have here in san francisco. i think i speak for most of us when if it was a socially acceptable thing, yeah, but it's obviously not. we don't want to be the bad guys here. with this kind of facility i think it will allow all of us to do that. thank you. >> commissioner chow: following the testimony is kyle, tommy and ian and nona. >> my name

our address is at 2969 mission street, right across the street from where that's going up, and i can tell you nobody on that street wants it. nobody. so you have a choice. you can either represent the people of the community or you can go on representing the big developers, the ones who are getting rich off this. they are going to benefit, the developer. the people that can afford to move in, it'll be nice, i'm sure, but are you just going to ignore the wishes of the neighborhood. what about the school? i've been thinking about this. will they have anymore sunshine? what about the institute across the street? what happens to them? what happens to the people? already it's impossible most of the time, except very early in the morning to park on mission street. you're putting, okay, a building, that as i understand, has little or no parking attached to it. this is a very bad plan, and it's one that's detrimental. i think that the planning commission really has to decide at a time when trump and the congress are about to intensify the war on working people and poor people in the form of

one front street, 532 market street. protesting the issuance of halal cart for the sale of chicken, lamb, kabobs and rice. we'll start with the appellant. good evening. >> good evening. i'm here in hopes that you deny the mobile facility permit. i'm owner of oasis grill and i'm a second-generation shawl business owner. when started oasis grill 20 years ago. it was not easy. for the first two years, we lost money. brick and mortars usually lose money when they first open, especially a new concept. at the time, no one knew what our food was, but word of mouth got around and slowly but surely we became a hit. recently i feel that my business has been targeted by out-of-area halal food carts. between market street through to the financial district, d.p.w. has been permitting these carts. i have other locations in san francisco and i've been under construction at 47 drum. and we've been trying to open this new spot for two years. we've been delayed by pg & e because of safety issues. they want us to redo all the infrastructur
