and commissioner sugaya points out the other thing that which would be to continue to make sure to monitor the effects that might have occurred to the neighboring structure and this is no different than a lot of other places that was brought up that there is a lot of buildings built and a lot of greater depth into soils that are also problematic, in the transbay areas and i have seen the same techniques being used at 201 fulsom which is just in the process of foundation work being done and the shore work before the foundations are doing the shoring work and so is sounds like this is addressed well and the deck, and a couple of other issues that were raised. i mean i realize that we have never considered parking impacts as an environmental impact and you know, that would be nothing different here, although, you know, there is in my estimate a shortfall that will be an impact from these additional cars for residents, but, you know, it is not to be considered as part of the neg deck or any environmental impact report and so therefore, that is a discussion that is better had during the time of

commissioner sugaya. >> yes. i ran into former commissioner yesterday, and he reminded me that i promise that i would do something about the academy of art. and i promised his wife and so i thought about it and so could we get a status report on the future memo or something? it would be fine. >> typically on it. >> no just on the academy. >> yeah. >> commissioner borden? >> yeah, there was an article in the business times about the transbay park and now that the boston property is in the and i forget the other... i can't remember the other project sponsor there and it is not and it is refusing to pay for the park and i understood in our hearings when we asked the questions about it and the main nens of the park would be under their jurisdiction and i would like to find out what is going on there must be continuing negotiations and i feel at that hearing it was represented that they would be taking care of that park and i am frustrated to hear that there is about it now. >> commissioner moore? >> buses. the commis

. >> commissioner sugaya. >> yes. to those who came and testified about the increase in height and were concerned about it, i think that that time passed a long time ago when we approved the transit center district plan. and i don't know if you're aware of that. this particular lot is zoned for 700 feet and that is not the endv of it because the transbay tower is acting as a central point that's going to be the tallest building. but then there are heights that have already been -- at least in zoning, not the buildings that are approved in a cascading fashion down from there, 700, 600, 500 feet, they're all around you guys. and if you want to call that a done deal, i would say it was a done deal in plan. but as commissioner antonini mentioned, there will be further approvals for the actual building designs themselves. but they have -- they will be coming in and i can't say whether they'll go to the full height, but they do have the right to go up to those heights that have already been zoned so that's just by way of ba

. >> commissioner sugaya. >> thank you, yes. perhaps it's only my ignorance or something, but when we've had -- when i've raised issues about potential impacts related to land use, zoning and city policy resulting from increased heights that are being proposed for projects, there's always been in my recollection rebuffed because the city has always argued that those kinds of things can be changed, that heights can be raised, bulk and other standards can be raised, that the general plan can be amended, et cetera. so, i'm quite surprised in this case to find that there is a significant and unavoidable impact in the analysis in those sections. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further, we can move on to your next item. >> actually, commissioner moore. >> i would like to restate my question to extend the written comment period to october 23rd and ask for commission support for that. >> second. >> can we vote? >> you can vote on it. we can certainly take your recommendation to the ero who makes that determination if you all believ

. >> >> commissioner sugaya? >> yes, i think that one thing that commissioner antonini mentioned was materials. and part of, and i understand that the architecture, and the way that it is expressed, is probably best expressed in stucco which i think is the exterior and it is not concrete. and the use of wood may not be quite appropriate in this case in terms of the architectural design and i am trying to, and i am trying to think of a way to perhaps, lessen, maybe it is the rendering that makes the stucco in which you have the stucco painted white and maybe, with the staff you could work on that in terms of a color pallet that is not quite so, contracted with the neighborhood which i think is mainly wood framed buildings and smaller scale, perhaps. and woodsiding and singles and i don't know, and i don't know that neighborhood intimately. and your neighbor that the dr requestor's building, has wood elements on it. but, i am not trying to get you to do with it or perhaps through some kind of a color pallet, you kn

francisco structure as it currently exists is quite successful and i would appreciate commissioner sugaya and borden's comments regarding the housing language and the comment of commissioner sugaya raised about pdr and its proximity to downtown where the services are needed. many people and corporate entities relocate because of that fact and we are well advised at what look at what works and not tinker or change it. i think that we need to ex-expand because there are a few cities that can retrofit along with the principals and i think that since we moved ourself, are proving ourselves coming out of a constrained economy, i think that we should even pay more attention to that very fact. and director william and to you, i would appreciate if this particular report has the one that we mentioned in the past week would also on the library accessible to the people including ourselves if we needed it because not all of us can keep these things in our homes any more. >> thank you. >> commissioner antonini? >> just a follow up on that pdr, and it would be interesting to see what was defined becau

. >> commissioner sugaya. >> yeah, a couple things. first, on the secretary search, are we -- president, are we thinking of having a joint hearing or no? >> likely to be a joint hearing. >> okay. i think that would be important to hear comments back and forth from the other commissioners. secondly, a new exhibit has opened up at the california historical society spur, the san francisco public library, the college of environmental design archives in berkeley, maybe one other venue. it's called unbuilt san francisco and it's an exhibit of those kinds of visionary or maybe not so visionary projects that have been proposed for san francisco and the bay area. there is a really interesting and gorgeous model at california historical society of a project that was proposed in marin called the marin cello and it was -- if you're driving to marin from the city and you go through the tunnel, if you can vision everything from that hillside over to the ocean was proposed for development. and i don't know how long -- i don't know who kept the model.
