union street. the controls have worked. they have been there quite sometime. when you have merchants and neighborhood association agreeing on something i suggest you move forward in that direction. we don't always have agreement on these issues. we fought really hard to getting a agreement. we would just, you know, like them to go back to the way it was. we don't always catch everything. you know, the whole word inadvertent, we wouldn't have the whole law of unintended consequences if we caught everything the first time things came around. we apologize things came around. certainly isn't our intent to bring unnecessary legislation in front of you. it is something both the neighborhoods and merchants really want. union street commercial district is thriving, doing well. we would appreciate your support with this legislation so we could have the neighborhood commercial district that everyone is supportive of. >> well, thank you. i appreciate it. i guess the only question i have is possibly it could h

. >> in that consolidation, the union street neighborhood commercial street neighborhood was affected so that the liquor license controls that were in place were taken away. when they changed the definition of restaurant. so, it was inad ver tant and no one caught it at the time and we realized it after the fact. >> the association and the golden gate valley association came to our to alert us of this. we talked to the office and he agreed to sponsor the legislation to fix the legislation, so what you have before you is the legislation that actually will reinstate the controls in the union street commercial district and it will also require a conditional use permit for the limited restaurants, those are the restaurants that will not be allowed to have beer and wine or a liquor license. but the merchants on the street and the neighbors wanted a cu for those limited restaurants. so really, the legislation comes down to two things, reinstates the liquor license and requires a cu for the limited restaurants instead of being permitted as a right as supervisor's wiene r's legislation did. >

. >> 22 is an ordinance amending the code to prohibt liquor licenses from the union street neighborhood commercial district and require conditional use authorization for limited restaurants. >> thank you, colleagues this is clean up legislation. that was a result of the legislation supervisor weiner passed regarding simplifying our restaurants and our planning code a number of months ago which i really supported. i wanted to thank him for co-sponsoring, union street has a commercial corridor that is subject to discussions between the neighborhood residents and the merchants and had restrictions in place in terms of what restaurants would come on. based upon weiner's legislation some of that got dismantled this is to clean it up to make sure that we have the controls in place that was effective before this legislation was enacted and i hope to have your support. >> without objection, this ordinance is passed on the first reading. colleagues, it is a little after 3:00. why don't we take up the special order for the former redevelopment agency. could you call why don't we start with 31 >>

between unions and wall street to clarify is this something that in fact you touch on original prisoner x. which is that both public sector unions and wall street banks thrive on government subsidies and lack of competition so i just wanted to make sure that was all clear and on that note balderdash one wrote i'd be very interested to hear what the difference in the amounts of money that public sector unions are taking out of the economy compared to wall street not even close to the same ballpark i'll bet well it's hard to know what's being extracted but if you want to look at the top five contributors in public employee unions and finance which is together with insurance and real estate from open secrets which is the center for responsive politics you can see there how they compare so when you're looking at the top five you're looking at not a huge difference in terms of the dollar amounts but what you will see when you get more into big picture of the lobbying contributions to packed. it does look from my assessment like wall street spends a

therefore since bars were prohibited in the union street ncd, restaurants could not obtain a new liquorse. the new definition allowed them to have a liquor license as as along as they operated a bona fide eating establishment. we agreed with them and they fought long and hard for the controls and they are working well in the corridor we want to thank supervisor wiener for his cosponsorship. this did pass 6-1 at the planning commission and unanimously at the small business commission last monday. we do have a minor amendment to offer. i have those here today. it basically strikes out the word "limited restaurants," when it's talking about the liquor license control because you know in limited restaurants they don't allow for liquor. i have those amendments. if you could offer up that. it's line 24, page 11, to page 12; line 2. >> thank you. >> so with that, that is the original. >> maybe i will pass this around,. >> and i'm available for questions and anne marie rogers is here with the planning department as well. >> may i look at it? >> supervisor cohen would like to review? >> thank yo

then at tuesday's hearing supervisor ferrell's ordinance to reinstate liquor controls on union street was heard. you will remember the commission recommended approval of this ordinance with minor modification on september 9th. this week the full board approved the ordinance, as it has been amended. supervisor's wiener tax amendment for business properties, a business and tax and police code amendment and little bit of planning code amendment was heard. this would simplify the requirements for parking five or fewer spaces in a residential building. you recommended approval with minor modifications. your modifications were incorporated into the revised ordinance . this week the unanimously voted to approve the ordinance. also the car wash legislation, which would allow existing gas stations along 19th avenue to add car washes. this was recommended for approval with modifications by you. in this case the modifications were not incorporated into the ordinance. this week the board did approve it on final reading. there was a building code amendment that would change the threshold for effic
