finally, at the top of the slide, 1375 sutter st. building it, and access for that will continue to be the same as it exists today. that is just off franklin and that sutter. access design underwent a number of changes as part of the informal review process. we try to minimize the number of access points into the parking. we know curb cuts sometimes conflict with pedestrian flows, and was reflected in the proposed project to minimize some of those conflicts. in addition to analyzing the access, we also covered variance. this is the access variant, with the only primary difference that you'd be able to leave the m.o.b. onto geary.

along sutter st. we have the proposed community center. here is the peak structure that supervisor mar was speaking to. this is more of a typical pattern. here is a three story building over a basement. >> the solar panels over that building, does the building cast a shadow? it looks like solar panels on the building. the big one. the big complex that is about 1 t units to the left. >> this one here? supervisor mar: yes. >> there was an analysis done for the project, but this building is on the northern portion of the block. excuse me. there may be some shadows cast during part of the year, but this is on a lower end, the southern portion of it. supervisor mar: the plot of land? how big is the plot of land in the design site? >> under the planning code, it has to be one quarter of an acre. it is approximately 22,300 square feet. supervisor marsupervisor mirkar. are there any other areas of housing development being built? >> not larger scale developments like this. supervisor mar: anything -- supervisor mirkarimi: anything over 10 units an

. >> i live at 2755 sutter st.. directly to the east behind booker t.. this was a little house one story tall that was intentionally omitted from the draft. it was included in the eir, but it said that this building was going to be a similar high and would have no impact. i challenge that. the agree that this project has a definite impact. putting 65 ft tall walls, how can it not have serious impact? these were also sold call that they blocked the property. of the building is built, who only see the sky if we look straight up. this is less than significant. the land use committee indicated that concessions need to be made by the project's sponsors. he did not address these. the effects are less than significant. one of the few community meetings, they raised the issue that the side of the building would have an impact along our house and around the neighborhood. the support the committee center and responded by telling her that sometimes sacrifices must be made for the greater good. did anyone ask us if we want to make this sacrifice? how much are we exp

i live on sutter st. with my wife. we bought a house in 1991. i support the compromise by supervisor farrell. i want to reiterate what rose just said. the nine units subtracted would be from the affordable component and not be the youth component. we support the booker t. washington addition, the community center, affordable housing, and youth housing. i am on the record for that. i do support a compromise. contrary to what has been stated, there is an impact. i live in a house right behind the community center. the building props are around us. it takes away light. i have announced for mitigation -- asked for mitigation having to do with the colors of the walt or cutting down a tree on our neighbor's property. the neighbor has approved it. there are also certain issues of whether printing. the building wrapping around our property devalues our property. i never asked for any financial consideration or remuneration. i have announced that the building be built in context with the neighborhood -- asked that the building be built in context with th

sutter made $878 million profits last year. they have the money to propose a 555-bed hospital in a high-income part of the city. this is the year of a 2001 services list that st luke's used to provide and which sutter agreed to maintain which came out of bankrupting st. luke's by cpmc and the law firm. this needs to be a starting point. the planning commission must ensure st. luke's 137-year-old continuance. inadequate st. luke's is poor urban planning. we oppose any planning commission approval of this l.r.d.p. inequitable. president olague: thank you, sir. and you can submit anything in writing that you are unable to express. thank you. [applause] we'll hear from the good neighbors coalition at this time. >> thank you, commissioners. gloria 134i9 on behalf of california nurses association. i was here at the last meeting and i committed comments -- president olague: you're part of the good neighbors coalition. >> yes, they asked me to speak. california nurses is a good neighbor. as you know -- i don't think there's any question in the room that proposed cathedral hill campus is inconsistent with the general plan as proposed and the v-nap, the van ness area p

the testimony that was received indicated the decision to close the unit was not a sutter and cmpc decision but was a st. luke's decision prior to obtaining that and st. luke's is ongoing financially distressed low volume changes in the community standard of care. if we are going to ask for that, i don't have an opposing issue regarding additional psych beds but we do have to have the other complimentary services attached to that or what we end up doing is keeping people in the hospital longer and that's not healthy for clients either. so i would look to talking about a community health care of excellence and they brought up the tenderloin clinic and that might be the place we can do the outpatient programming. if you're going to ought inpatient beds, you have to add the rest of them. you can't just have an inpatient bed by themselves or we're not doing the right -- our goal is to always get people out of the hospital as soon as possible and keep them in the right level of care and commu feel is healthier for individuals. commissioner moore: i appreciate you stating it and if there are other questions,

sutter under the healthy san francisco plan were being turned away. in terms of medical planning facility distribution counts, the patients who come to st. luke's are least able to afford a car. it is three bus lines away from any. st. luke's is the only hospital south of market from san francisco general. we wouldn't put all five stations -- fire stations north of market. we want a full complement of hospital services for 370,000 people who live south of market . regarding the proposal to build a, quote, center of excellence for diabetic care, you can't exclude vascular surgery, renal, dialysis and wound care when claiming to specialize in treating seniors.

st. louis's psychiatric unit is one example. they pay no local tax on local properties, money that should support public health. sutter is obligated to provide charity here. the city and there's a double burden and is reduced to who -- has a double burden and is reduced to cutting its own program. the city is under no obligation to sign off on building new hospitals, and in congested areas where they are reducing services to low-income minorities, i want to say thank you for listening.

commission to mandate sutter and cpmc to sign a community benefits agreement that will guarantee job transfer and property rights for all of their employees of the new hospital. the nurses at st. luke's on the california campus have been without a contract for four years. cpmc have not bargained in good faith. there are working conditions that benefit cpmc only, not the employees. we need a written guarantee from cpmc that will protect our rights. i urge the commissioners to ignore sutter and cpmc's fancy rhetoric and listen to the citizens and workers of san francisco to mandate them to sign a community benefits agreement for equal health care access and workers' rights before any permit approval before this project moves forward. thank you.
