the site is comprised of three buildings and contains frontage along third, your knee, market and stevensonstreet. the project would rehabilitate the existing 13 story building, and would convert to approximately approximately 119,000 square feet of office into a tourist hotel use on the second through 12th floors. the project includes a demolition of an existing penthouse structure on the roof, and the addition of a roof deck and event space fully screened by an existing parapet. finally the project would maintain approximately 11,000 square feet of retail use at the basement and ground floors. commissioners, we would like to amend the plans included in your packet with the plans distributed and approved by the historic preservation commission on march 20th, 2019. these plans have added elevation sheets showing the faÇade in more detail per the h.b.c. request, and the removal of the lobby openings per request as well as the greater deck setback the entitlements requested include a planning code text amendment to section 188 g. that would allow a new floor area on an existing noncompliant s

the restaurant and bar will be located about 40 touch a 50 feet within the building frontage. e also anticipate the revenue from the bar and restaurant to be 20 or 25% of our total sales. what we want to emphasize we are a golf facility first and a restaurant and bar second. thank you. >> peter erickson, also co-owner of the business. a big portion of what we are doing is creating a place for people to come to practice golf, play, have a good time after work, during lunch, as we all know, it is hard to get around the city sometimes, and afterward you can't go out to presidio or other courses to go play. we are here for the community. we like working with the people within the neighborhood. we talked with a bunch of everyone around there. we have support from neighborhood businesses, and all of the residents that are in the area as well. everything we want to do is to be part of the community and grow the community and give opportunities for people to have more activities to do in the area. >> thank you very much. we will now take public comment on this item. is there any public

the iconic frontage of notre dame has been saved. ooden roof which date back over 800 years, not the whole thing but parts of it. and this fire is more recent. it has been rebuilt and it can be rebuilt. i think you can take heart from some of that but you see it on people ‘s faces, the symbolism of what it means. but it may take decades to rebuild but the poignancy is not lost. moving to the guardian. the sense of that what will remain... do you think that some of the pages may have to be rewritten? because the story has moved a lot. they will be completely rewritten. what i am hearing is that several hundred people were in the cathedral when the fire broke out. they all got out unscathed and they all have stories to tell. amazing and at testa m e nt to stories to tell. amazing and at testament to the fact that the warning system works. notjust that, but most of the precious artefacts and artwork which includes some truly historic pieces, most of them got out during that period. the evacuation of both people and precious artefacts is

we're concerned with the massing especially as it is related to the woodward street frontage. we don't think the area was under the balcony should be counted as open space. open space is culturally significant. >> president melgar: sore are you your time is up. is there any other public comment. please line up on that side of the room and then come on up. >> good afternoon commissioners. i'm a 40-year resident of the mission district. for the past 20 years, i've been involved in trying to improve the quality of life in the mission. i'm here to voice my support for the proposed project at 344 14th street and 1463 stevenson street. the mission needs more housing and businesses. p.d.r. space, small enterprise, work space and retail space exactly what we need. what's exciting is a small enterprisework space with a rerning centre and three to four full time instructors and employment positions and emphasis on hiring within the mission. ideally located in one the last large remaining buildable lots in the mission, now parking lot, the project just steps from bart and muni and the cor

we did look at the proposed building and paid attention to the woodward street frontage and deemed it appropriate. the property in question is not within the district. >> commissioner richards: other things. retail spaces are too large. 3000 square foot one and 1700 square foot roughly. those going to be hard to rent. i don't know if you saw yesterday, the whole issue of retail. i want to bring that back up to the chair and vp. i think you need it break up that space into smaller retail so they're rentable to somebody. the placement of the b.m.r. units i agree with commissioner moore, they need to have a step up at least 3 feet. something mention -- somebody mentioned that we have the three bedroom penthouse unit which question i have, if there's a family there that needs b.m.r. unit, would be be open having that as one of the b.m.r. units. going down 14th street biking, walking, driving is a train wreck. it really is. i go down there all the time because the light at mission street and 14th street changes so fast you get about eight seconds to cross. all you need is one or two people

department urban design team looked at the masting including the rear yard modification and the commercial street frontage and architecture as proposed. this concludes my presentation and i'm available for questions. thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioner. my name is shawn malik on behalf of the sponsorship speaking on behalf of the business that aretired the property. our intention was to add value to the neighborhood namely, we saw it was a very old structure and we did end up running the facility with the existing laundry business it had. soon raefealized all the machin need to be replaced including rehabilitation. we found the laundry business was not really viable and we noticed the neighborhood was primarily students from sfsu and the conservatory of music and looked like a great place for student housing and we're open to feedback to make it as good a project we can for the neighborhood and thank you for your time as well. >> good afternoon. i'm the architect nor project. i'd like to take a few minutes to walk you through the presentation of the package. so the project is located

look at section 303 subsection zero, it says that the concentration to not exceed 25% of the total commercial frontage is measured in linear feet within the media -- immediate area of the subject site, and that linear feet should be with the subject property. when you look at the planning department's project summary, it states its findings are that if approved, this proposed establishment would raise the concentration of eating and drinking uses within a 300 feet radius of the property from 35-point 4% to 37-point 2%. that is above the recommendation of section three '03 subsection zero, and when you review that in addition to the planning code , the other food establishments in the neighborhood, it just doesn't make sense, and when you look at the new menu, i guess that they just filed yesterday afternoon, it is questionable what they are really going to be putting in here. it is an ink and accurate representation of what they are proposing to put here. i would really like to see what they will be putting in here, and i don't know how the commission could approve this application today without knowi

in terms of open space, it incorporates or completes the clipper coat frontage as welclip coveclipper cove ares supposed to be part of the major phase two, but was incorporated into this subphase, in lieu of the aagricultural farm, which will be moved to another phase. it also includes an area that was originally proposed to be part of subphase three or major face three, which iphase three,s where the future police and fire station will be, as well as future parking garage, in the island center. not proposing to move the construction of the public facilities forward in time, but to prepare the site and construct the surrounding treaties and streetd roadways, so those sites can be used as surface parking until the permanent facilities are constructed. that was just more of a logical sequence. there is also an affordable housing parcel in this area, that we're going to reconfigure, and i'll talk about that in a second. so on the left is the original major phase map, and then on the right, that modified to reflect what we're currently proposing to be incorporated into this subphase appli

the proposed height of the new building will not seed -- exceed the height of the old building and will have frontage similar to the previous building. it will be distinct from the historic building and incorporate materials and a color palate and it will have a band of dark brick incorporated to reference the historic building. the change in terms and color palate relate to the historic building's roots. the windows will be picture frame windows which nods to the historic building. the project is compatible and differentiated with landmark 58. the historic preservation commission has approved the ser cat of appropriateness application and san francisco heritage is in support of the project. this concludes our presentation. thank you. >> supervisor: an questions? -- any questions? there's no one. >> i have a few questions for the planning department. first of all with the claim, the hazardous waste claims. what steps will be taken to ensure no residual c residual cn will be brought on residents and neighbors? >> similar to the neighboring property the property at 3620 buchanan is not a third party to

the site is a large located between first and second street with frontage along market and stevenson. it has two buildings. 555 market street and 575 market street and a plaza connecting the two. the project would reconfigure the ground floors and converts approximately 3,000 square feet of retail use to office. the project also features extensive renovation of the existing plaza between the two buildings while retaining historic landscape elements. the project would remove the fence blocking access to stevenson street and reestablish connectivity with market. finally, the project proposes to add two new retail spaces, one is a retail kiosk within the plaza, and the other is a restaurant with a bar area along stevenson street. entitlements requested are a downtown project authorization and a conditional use authorization for ground floor office use, with a modification from the ground floor commercial requirement. since your packet has been published, the department has received two letters of support from the commercial real estate services and the district six community planners. af

so, you know, i want to invest money with the hopes of having more back, you know, higher return over time, and i think you're frontage future in things like lyft and uber. just call me a doubting thomas on some of those deals. liz: that's okay. as we look at something like pinterest, the whole market seems to be up today we're about four minutes, three minutes away a way from record for s&p and nasdaq with levels we haven't seen before but these names are names you say glitter too much. let's go with so-called duller names. we have your choices, cabot oil and gas, voice interest energy and sp plus. what makes them interesting to you? >> they're not part of the green new deal for one. i still believe people will need energy. cabot is focused on the marcellus properties in pennsylvania. they generate natural gas. they're very efficient. and you know, they pay a dividend which is kind of uncommon in the small cap energy space. vist are a was spun out of txu which was a big bankruptcy. it is one of the few companies increasing the dividend, deleverring or buying back shares. they're buying back 16% of their share base. i
