commissioner sugaya: it seems we are reaching some kind of consensus. i will go ahead and make a motion to take dr and approve the project with a 2 ft. set back from the current proposal in the rear, regaining 2 feet to the side, and moving the spiral staircase to the south. president olague: do you want to also include the steps recommendations? commissioner sugaya: yes. >> that recommendation actually is contradictory to staff recommendation. i would also like to have clarification on the height. the height is fine so you do not need a reduction on the height? president olague: that is right. sorry about that. we seem to have a motion. is there a second? commissioner moore: i would like to have commissioner sugaya rephrase the motion. commissioner sugaya: i think we're just taking out the stuff modification. >> for clarity, you are removing the staff modification. you're putting back the 2 feet on this side said beck, but you're reducing the rear pop out by two feet, and the spiral staircase which shift to the south. commissioner antonini: i do not kn

commissioner sugaya. commissioner sugaya: i was reminded in a comment about the j-town bowl and the replacement structure has retail space on the bottom that has not been leased for a long time -- >> been rebuilt. >> right. and in the walking tour it was pointed out that the koern property or corner retail space will be a dental office. and that was done while it was still under redevelopment agency's jurisdiction and i think now probably would not be allowed or maybe it would be. i don't know the exact zoning for that and this is the concern of the supervisors and the community and those on stour and a key retail space is a dental office and that is a concern to everybody. >> it would not be included, but if you want to add an addendum, i would be happy to support it. commissioner sugaya: maybe we'll recommend that. commissioner antonini: supervisors, i wanted to add on the other use and the small office and sometimes the professional might be appropriate depending on their size and i see you have restri

commissioner sugaya. commissioner sugaya: yes, i'd

commissioner sugaya and i volunteered. in giving some alternative directions to how mone might -- president olague: we have to call the item. we call the project on to the calendar and also commissioner fong would disclose he's heard the tapes. >> now we are finished with item f, we are now moving to item g. the item at hand. 214 through 216 17th street. this is a request for a rear yard. commissioners, you should know that on january 27, following public testimony, we continue this matter. commissioner fong was absent. commissioner antonini was recused. they will consider the variances. >> i was able to review the meeting. >> the case before you is a conditional use authorization on a lot greater than that in a zoning district. it is located on the corner of california street. the property currently contains two buildings with a commercial space and two residential units. the proposal will result in a two-story mixed use building. and a four-story unit. they are seeking a rear-yard variance. the commission voted to contin

commissioner olague: commissioner sugaya. and after these three, i will open it up for public comment, just so you know. commissioner sugaya: you talked about having groups represented by three within 10 minutes. we also have a situation in dne which says that an organization can be represented by one speaker. do we need to have -- commissioner olague: we need it. commissioner borden: the block of time on 10 minutes in opposition to be represented by a minimum of three speakers, but then followed by dne for a period not to exceed three minutes -- can we not just eliminate that language? commissioner miguel: we can just throw it out. commissioner moore: where are we talking about? commissioner borden: d and e. so that would be for that one. and then for c, the same thing for section c3 and d and e. the same things. that is on page 3. >> [unintelligible] commissioner olague: ok. we will call you up afterwards, sue. >> i do not understand what you are talking about. there are so many d's and e's on these pages, it is driving me

commissioner sugaya. commissioner sugaya: yes, i'd like to make public that the company i work for did historic resource evaluation work for the environmental impact report. pardon me? for glen park. i think i remember in past meetings where there have been informational sessions about the plan itself where the e.i.r. hasn't been either advertised or isn't directly -- well, i suppose we could talk about it, but i believe i've sat in on informational items on area plans before when we've worked on the e.i.r. part. in the past, when we've had joint -- not joint meetings but when the e.i.r. and the plan has all been scheduled together, i've recused myself on the e.i.r. votes but have been able to come back to vote on the community plan itself. and i feel in this case that as an informational item i can stay and participate. president olague: thank you. and with that, i'll actually call the item to the record. it's item two, case 20005 .1004, the glen park community planning presentation. >> good morning, com

commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: it would be really great if things coo get worked out in the interim -- could get worked out in the interim period. president olague: that would be fantastic, with the neighbors. yes. commissioners, motion on the floor is for continuance to july 14th. i'm assuming the public hearings will remain open. president olague: yes, that's correct. >> on that motion -- >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. aye. >> thank you, commissioners. >> on the matter of the variance we will continue that to the same hearing date of july 14, 2011 and public hearing will remain open on that. >> thank you. >> commissioners, with that we go to item number 16. >> we go back to item number 6. >> thank you for allowin present the board of appeals summary hearing. they had a very late hearing last night. three items of rell convenientsy to the commission, 1338 filbert street was a jurisdiction request. this was building permit application filed pursuant to the c.e.u. the board continued this from

president olague: commissioner sugaya. commissioner sugaya: a couple questions. first, on the new illegal signs, can you describe how you find new illegal signs? i mean i assume some may be citizens that call in, but maybe you could describe to us. >> i'm the department staff. typically we receive complaints via email or phone from the public. also during our field visits we sometimes come across these signs and just by working with the signs every day know that they weren't there previously. but the majority of our complaints come in via email or phone. commissioner sugaya: thank you. a second question. a lot of places around downtown they have -- there are businesses that have these sidewalk boards or blade signs or whatever they're called, sandwich boards. are those considered to be general advertising and are those regulated through this program or are they part of the d.p.w. or sidewalk and mapping or whatever? >> commissioner, the -- commissioner sugaya: or are there no rules? >> there are rules. the signs you're referring to, a-frames or sandwich boards ar

do you have a question, commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: no, i said call the question. president olague: i'm sorry. i thought you were going to add a question. secretary avery: commissioners, does the motion include the amendment that project sponsor has agreed to on the hours of operation? >> staff recommendation. on the motion for approval for staff recommendation. [roll call taken] secretary avery: thank you, commissioners. that motion passes. >> that is ridiculous! how would you like to have a party where you live? every single day, private parties everywhere. how is that? is that what you want? >> we limited this to -- we limited them to 10 events, so you may want to go over the conditions of approval with the staff. okay. commissioners, we are now on item number nine. case 2006.0422 mtuze. executive park amended subarea plan. this is an informational presentation. >> good afternoon, commissioners. >> hold on. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i am matt synder of department staff. we are here to give you an informational presentation on executive park and very quic

commissioner sugaya: second. commissioner antonini: i was very happy to have a presentation by some of the parties involved here regarding the laws governing the entire development. oftentimes, people will ask questions about the layout and why certain things are done certain ways. it was interesting to find out that while the federal government owns treasure island, they can do what they want. much of it comes under the tidelands trust fund, and is subject to administration by the state of california. the uses have to be in conformity. many of these are maritime uses, to use a generalized term which may not be entirely accurate, correct me if i am wrong, or uses that support those uses. for example, a hotel would support people there to enjoy some maritime uses. i guess my question is that probably we are seeing some distribution of different areas, but it could be subject to some degree of change as time went forward, i would expect, especially among the different open spaces. once you have got the open space w

president olague: commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: i would like to agree with fellow commissioner's comments. i think it's a little bit overscaled compared to the other buildings in the neighborhood. one of the factors i think in the neighborhood that had some diversity, if want to call it that, on this side they're almost all flat-roofed. i think they're one story over garage, maybe two. across the street you have similar maybe size but because of the gable, you gain some height. and i don't know if you can play with the design in some way in that manner to make an appearance of the building less bulky and -- and i don't know about -- i'm not so opposed to trying to get three or four units in here but if it doesn't result externally in a building that's compatible with the

. >> commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: i am going to oppose the motion. i think we should say something about the railings. i have had the experience when i was growing up of birds fly into windows that are 6 feet and that is what i found dead birds, 6 feet, 10 feet, so they can fly low and --. >> we could just say that glass could be that oh glass. commissioner sugaya: if we could word it that the project sponsor works with staff on some kind of bird resi tant or whatever you want to call it glass railing and/or an open railing of some kind. >> and it doesn't take the d.r. to do that. >> i will change the motion to make it other glass or surface that is bird friendly. >> still second. olague r commissioner moore. commissioner moore: not until someone wants to call them up. president olague: someone might call you up. commissioner moore: again, i am not sure if i heard it correctly and perhaps it can be clarified. the history on this particular project, if i heard correctly and ask you to confirm is a little troublesome to me. even this was ormgally appro

commissioner sugaya: yes. commissioner borden: that is fine. >> we have a motion on the table to approve with modifications. commissioner antonini:aye. commissioner borden: aye. commissioner moore: aye. commissioner sugaya: aye. president olague: aye. vice president miguel: aye. >> that motion passes. we are moving on to item 13, which is also a staff-initiated dr. it is at 422 day street, on the north side upper castro and -- of castro and noe. >> good evening, members of the commission. michael smith, planning department's staff. you have before you a staff- initiated request for discretionary review of a building permit proposing to construct a one-story commercial addition -- vertical addition and facade of alteration. as you know, this is a staff- initiated dr, which is rare. the reason we are putting this before you today is to do not feel it complies with residential design guidelines. in specific, we are asking for a 15-foot front setback. originally, the project came to us with pay a fairly large stai

commissioner olague: commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: other commissions have a stop time. you just stop the meeting. isn't there a provision, linda, that says 10:00? i thought there was something that said 10:00. if we anticipate -- >> let me find this for you and i will tell you. on page 2, the seconds page of your calendar -- not the rules and regulations. the second page of your calendar. second paragraph. it is in bold. in most cases, they will not call an item for consideration after 10:00 p.m.. if an item is scheduled, but not called and introduced prior to 10:00 p.m., the commission can make matters for the next available hearing. >> [unintelligible] >> you have a policy. commissioner olague: whenever start an item after 10:00. commissioner antonini: yes, we do. commissioner olague: that was an exception. >> there was a time when the commission followed that policy. commissioner olague: i did not remember many items being called after 10:00. commissioner miguel: it is not in our rules and regulations. >> it is not our rule. it is a policy. commissioner antonini: it

commissioner sugaya: aye. vice president miguel: aye. president olague: no. >> that motion passed five to two. you now have recessed f for two hours and 35 minutes. president olague: that is fantastic.

commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: it would be really great if things coo get worked out in the interim -- could get worked out in the interim period. president olague: that would be fantastic, with the neighbors. yes. commissioners, motion on the floor is for continuance to july 14th. i'm assuming the public hearings will remain open. president olague: yes, that's correct. >> on that motion -- >> aye

commissioner sugaya: aye. president olague: no. vice president miguel: aye. >> we have four boats for a continuance. it will be continued to may 19. vice president miguel: -- commissioner borden:--president olague: we will be closed. >> public hearing will be closed at that time. if we could ask that people step out, we are going to move on to item 12. this is for 2774 filbert st.. it is a request for discretionary review of the building permit. president olague: i don't know if staff is here for the next item. ok, great. we are ready. >> good evening, commissioners. i am david lindsay from department staff. the project before you is a vertical addition filbert st. and how hollow. discretionary review has been requested by the owner of the adjacent property to the west. staff has prepared an abbreviated analysis based on the department's conclusion that the project does not contain or create exceptional or extraordinary circumstances. the existing building is a three story 2 below-unit building. the proposal is to add a partial fou

commissioner sugaya: [inaudible] get this thing to work. i have a quick question -- what are the hours of operation? >> the hours that an attendant is there are monday through saturday, no attendance sunday, but you can self-part by putting money in the machines. the hours that an attendant is there is monday through friday, 7:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m. the attendant is there from saturday at -- i believe is 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. because of the entertainment spaces, but i understand all hours of the day all days a week, you can self park. let me confirm that with the client. that is correct. commissioner antonini: from the pictures and from going by there, a nice neat, clean parking lot with lighting and foliage and a lot of things we have spoken about with interim uses. so i would move to approve. commissioner olague: commissioners, the motions -- that the commissioners, the motion on the floor is for approval. [roll call] thank you, commissioners. that motion passes unanimously. commissioners, you are now on item 15, and this is what the

commissioner sugaya: last week, i attended two meetings in japantown. one was a community meeting, there was no consensus and made at this point. it will be forthcoming. secondly, it was more of a tour put on by supervisor mirkarimi. we had a walking tour of the area. we were at a lunch where different issues were discussed. it was a short lunch, about 40 minutes. they had taken notes on each of the issues. he said he would be following up with the community on that. it was nice. commissioner antonini: think you to the design review team. we were able to participate in one of the sessions. they went through three projects very quickly. they very quickly got some ideas about what changes they would recommend. we met with other staff members in regard to the public safety building which is going to move in on third mission rock. because it is a public building, unlike other mission bay properties that are private, and those are ones that we are involved in design review. we met with one of the architects involved. if the public is interested, it will be b

commissioner sugaya jan diversion that to be on stretches where there are light poles missing. it creates a very uneven and and said pavin for pedestrians to walk, and as you are bringing in more seniors, a larger number becomes a very important issue, and it goes beyond some small lighting on the building facade. it goes to the proper state lighting of street lighting at the right height. have you all looked at that? if not, i would very much urge you to do so and have public works give you an answer. >> i have not looked into that, but i will certainly bring it up with policy makers. commissioner olague: these projects are the ones that often allow the city to look at it again and fill in with their is something missing. you have construction. you also have quarter construction on mcalester and jones, so you might as well do it all at once -- corner construction on mcallister and jones. commissioner antonini: this is a wonderful project. one of our earlier, enters brought up a good point, and that is the new building will provide improved electrical service, which is often no

commissioner sugaya: aye. president olague: aye. >> at the motion passes unanimously. >> is there any general public comment on items not on today's calendar? seeing none -- i was not sure if you were standing up or not. >> commissioners -- >> your name? >> gerardo. i just want to encourage you to have a hearing about water supply. we have these show me the water laws that will be kicking in in a few years. according to our calculations, water supply is sufficient to cover the unit's you referred to before that were in the pipeline. beyond that, no. the assistant general manager who is writing the mandated update of the urban water management plan stated on tuesday, i will read you the quote again. they have a projected shortfall of the available water supply to meet its level of service goals and its contractual obligations. a very serious statement. the issue of availability always gets punted by the planning department's staff based on a few reports. you have to look at the latest report to see who -- to se

commissioner sugaya: aye. vice president miguel: aye, and that includes the condition read into the record? >> that includes the condition read into the record. president olague:aye. and we are going to take a 10- minute recess. >> good afternoon. the planning commission is back in session. if i could remind everyone to turn off your cell phones or electronic devices that may sound off during this proceeding. at this moment, at this time, you are on item 9a and 9b, for 1945 high street. as you consider the request for discretionary review, the zoning administrator is hearing the request for variance. just because i understand there is a question about it, the various hearing and dr hearing are concurrent, happening at the same time, so if there is someone here who wants to speak in opposition to the variance, they would speak at the time those who are supporting the dr or are in opposition to the project. there will not be separate hearings. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm rick crawford, of the apartment

thank you. >> commissioner sugaya? >> one was mentioned that perhaps we might have received a development agreement example but we don't have that in our package. mr. rich do you have access to that stanford -- >> it's part of the packet. >> that's coming from you guys, ok, great. i still have to make a comment on the presentation that was made by cpmc where they show a map of the city and the street as a divider. that was fine for illustrating their particular needs. but if you draw the line north south and separate the city east west, there's no hospital on the west side at all. i found that a little -- never mind, i won't go there. >> commissioner illy? commissioner moore? >> i wanted to ask the commissioner if he will look attendser loin and traffic issue -- tenderloin and traffic issues along vaness at pine -- along vaness at broadway. we have very large housing projects for seniors. vaness as it is, it's extremely difficult to cross. you've got to be really running in order to make it across. it's primarily geare

commissioner sugaya: i would like to support commissioner borden on that. it's partially based on an article i read that had to do with concerns in new york city about the proliferation of branch banks, in this case in neighborhood areas. and the fact they did not have a mechanism to address those issues, so i would like to have something before us to discuss. commissioner borden: maybe we did in calendar that with the very specific pet store of legislation. i imagine that will come to the commission, some maybe that's a day to have that discussion. commissioner moore: i want to express my support for what the commissioner borden is saying. i have seen personally one of the most unusual combinations in formula banking and retail just minutes ago where you walk into a starbucks and on the other side of the starbucks, you are complemented by full set of banking services provided by wells fargo. i thought that was a little bit over the top. it speaks to some of the concerns expressed by members of the public. i think it's going a little bit too far. president

president olague: commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: just to support what mr. sanchez said, my four years on the board of appeals, mr. cornfield was a stellar representative of the building department and the city overall. so the board will miss him in more than one way. i won't go there. president olague: commissioner moore? commissioner moore: we couldn't find ourselves at a better time to take the leadership on this newly emerging issue because he's been outstanding on all structural engineering issues for years. president olague: thank you. commissioners, we're proposing to do something a little different tonight. we would like to take item 7 and 16 together. >> commissioners, i thought these were related and the reason for some of the proposed changing of the scheduling is directly related to the state's vote on redevelopment agencies. so i thought if we can talk about these items together, because we can do that, that would be fine. i don't know, rich, maybe just to start i could say you probably know that the state has been voting this week on the propos

. >> commissioner sugaya? >> just a quick comment on the proposed schedule. i think it is too aggressive. for one thing, you're trying to have us consider the entitlements and at the same time initiate planning code, general plan amendments. i don't think that is going to work, for me, anyway. i don't know about the rest of the commission. but we could have a little bit of space in between the entitlements and in addition, that would be a little bit better. >> it wouldn't happen until june. >> ok. but anyway -- >> i'm not ready to initiate at the same hearing is what i'm saying. >> i would agree with commissioner sugaya's statement. i would also like to ask -- the one document we have in front of us summarizing the plans seems by now quite outdated given the many things -- so at a minimum i think in order to discuss entitlements or anything for that matter, we really need to have the actual updated, new refreshed vitized master plan. having said that, asked about additional topics, i have two. i would encourage this -- these commissions to talk with m.t.a. an

about commissioner sugaya. you read from the e.i.r. but didn't he vote against certificate of appropriateness? >> no, there is no vote on the certificate of appropriateness by the planning commission. >> i'm sorry. oh, i see. >> he is not on h.p.c. thank you. >> mr. frye, you have three minutes of rebuttal. >> department staff. i don't think anybody is disputing the integrity of the zellmans. they have made great contributions to preservation in san francisco. what we're talking about here is the integrity of the process. this is a landmark building. if the board of supervisors felt that this building retained enough integrity to be a landmark then the department needs to apply the standards appropriately and in regards to rehabilitation of the landmark. i would also like to clarify a few things that mr. gladstone stated. the e.i.r. was certified by the planning commission. that mean it was adopted as being adequate and complete. there was no rejection of any alter e.i.r. they agreed that it was complete. they weres of the options that

commissioner sugaya. commission olaguey, commission borden. commission fong is absent this morning. the items on calendar, item one is informational presentation on the advertising program. this is your annual report. >> commissioners, good morning. dan snyder with the planning department staff. i'm here this morning to give you your annual update on the department's general advertising sign program, our written report is included in your packet for today's hearing. and we do have additional copies up front for anyone in the audience today who would like. before we get into the meat of things, commissions are, i'd like to call your attention to the front row, where the key staff in our program are seated today. the entire program staff is here today because among other reasons, we all wanted to be here to give you some good news. but first, and just to set the stage if 2003 could have the overhead, ms. secretary, please. prop g passed in 2002, a voter initiative that prohibited new advertising signs in the city, passed with 78% of the vote between in then and 2006 the city adopted a

commissioner sugaya: aye. commissioner fong: aye. commissioner antonini: aye. president olague: aye. vice president miguel: aye. vice president miguel: aye. >> those motions pass. >> thank you all. thanks very much. >> now we are on public comment for items not on the agenda. president olague: is there any general public comment? seeing none, general public, it is closed and the meeting is adjourned. >> commission president, you have a quorum. we're joined by joysticks from the occ. >> welcome to the wednesday, march 2nd, san francisco police commission meeting. tonight is our regularly scheduled meeting. let's start with the consent calendar >> this is a request to accept a certificate for a polls tell stay -- the lima start with in the consent calendar. >> this is a request to accept a certificate for a hotel stay and a $300 certificate from the road rico's san francisco as their sentences the police officer of the recipient. >> is a any comment regarding this? hearing none, item two. >> item numbertwo is general public comment. the public is welcome to addre

commissioner sugaya knows a little bit about the case. it is similar to what you would see on d.r.'s. there was disagreement between the appellant in the -- and the hbc on how they were applied. they would have needed unanimous vote. the votes were split, so it was clear they would not get the votes to overturn. the board continued into may -- it to may.they have been very ct what the requirements are. the final one is a brief period there before the commission last year, and i believe the board of supervisors upheld unanimously. that project and moved forward. that concludes my report. president olague: thank you. >> commissioners, the historic preservation commission did not meet this week. you are now on item number seven, case number 2011.0070i for 1355 sansome street. >> good afternoon, president olague and commissioners. the business school has submitted an institutional master plan for the san francisco campus at 1255 sansome street. it would expand the facilities in the existing four-story building to 50,000 square feet on flour floors. the school has an enrollment of approx
