i live in the building directly above, a few floors up from this location. it is such a pleasure to be there at the entertainment commission. the meetings are actually entertaining. [laughter] this location has been open for five or six months. before that, it was just a close to location. well, it was an alley between mcalester and golden gate, perhaps because of the construction of the new federal building. the street lights have been out for quite awhile. it was very challenging and terms of the environment of that alley. people were camping there overnight. but fights, broken bottles, commotions were happening every night. the windows were broken in the alley. we opened this place and it got way better. but what we are missing there, we just need people being there after 8:00 p.m. when they have an influx of people coming to the opera. and the other performances. then it kind of died down. we desperately need not only for them to stay, which is challenging with the neighborhood that is closing down. it is an indicator that it is not easy to have a business there. at the same time, we need some people there because they

years as the executive director of the san francisco prompt -- conservation and development commission, i offer my unqualified support for the proposed project located on seawall lot 351. i will stress the role it will play in san francisco -- in making san francisco's embarcadero a truly world-class boulevard. the waterfront today is remarkably different from what it was two decades ago, in large part because the city and the port and the cbc -- bcbd have been working together on this. the result is a historic piers along the embarcadero. some parts of the embarcadero have complementary structures. in other spots, chain-link fences and other nondescript structures are along the boulevard. this project will replace one of these with a beautiful structure that will provide exciting open public spaces at the foot of market street. however imperfect current conditions may be, we have learned to live with them. on the other hand, change is measured not by its benefits, but it's possible flaws. whatever flaws in the embarcadero project has, if there are any, it will still replace a design blemish with architectural and -- architectural beauty. >> next sp

while the project is located within the local coastal zone, the project is not located within the appeal is based able area that is that he'llable to the california commission. for the draft motion -- that is appealable to the company commissioned. i would be happy to go into the goals and objectives upon the commission's request. furthermore, on balance, the project is bound to be consistent with the eight priority planning policies of planning code section 101.1, and at this time, the planning department recommends approval of the coastal zone application. i would be happy to answer any questions at this time. thank you. commissioner fong: commissioners, and the specific questions? ok, thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. representative read it -- but grisham our government. i have a power point presentation i would like to do. it is included in your packages, so i will try to move through at a pretty good pace, but i think it is important to touch on all of these points from a point of history and understanding the project in more detail. back in 2004, the recreation and park department initiated a third-party recreation assessment, which identif

the first of many to come. i think this commission will find its way through this. from my personal perspective, this gives us an opportunity to look at every location. if this is truly saturation, then we have the opportunity to do that. given the pedestrian account and the activity on this particular block, one basically every block is a lot, but not excessive. i'm always curious about people who are opposed. what banks, if any, do you use? i'm assuming that most people live in san francisco are using some kind of bank. maybe your bank already exists on that block and maybe that is why you are ok with what is already there. anyway, if you could call the question. >> the motion is on the floor for approval as proposed. commissioner antonini aye. commissioner borden: aye. commissioner wu: aye. commissioner sugaya: no. commissioners, you are now on item 14. 2299 market street. at the beginning of the hearing i announced that supervisor wiener had requested a continuance of this item we were talking about july 19th initially. the staff planner is not here on that date. then we were talking about july 12th. i do not know if a new date has been proposed

the report was presented to a governor's commission. the addition of traditional table games with live dealers at all of the location. such an expansion will need an additional $160 million a year in revenue to the state. >> a casino that is a billion dollars would be another anchor in prince george's county. >> there is a vocal opposition. members of the prince george's church group made their position known. >> been added to is outweighed the positives. >> and then there are the people behind maryland live. they remain resolutely opposed to the d.c. area competitor. >> these numbers are highly uncertain. >> what happens next is the gaming commission will make a recommendation by next week. if they say it looks like it would work to have the casino at the national harbor, they will make a recommendation. legislators will help with the governor. it is possible they will call a special session in july to vote on the idea of putting the question of a casino to the voters in november. that is the plan anyway. >> mgm's proposal includes 4000 slot machines, 250 table games. still to come, all look at the stories ahead thi

the issue that the commission did crapaud with, as you have heard, was not this-- grapple with, as you have heard, was this issue a clustering. the code minutes eligible locations based on a variety of land use of factors, proximity to other medical dispensaries is not one of those factors. in july of last summer, the commission did write a letter to the board of supervisors pointing out this issue, of this issue of clustering and seeking their input and guidance. the board chose not to change spill law. when these cases -- to change of the law. when these cases came forward, they were compliant and they found no unusual factors that would suggest exercising their discretionary powers. the permit on appeal tonight is the first of that-. it is the only permit that has been issued. the rest are being processed by other agencies. as you know, medical cannabis discretion -- dispensaries are entitled to a third party requests. his arguments are not dissimilar to those that are in his brief tonight. above all other issues, the appellant asks you apply your decision in the other case to this case. commissioners, we do not believe that this case is the same as the terr
