hickory, where it dead and there, it is not a usable space. -- dead end there, it is not be usable space. this is an area that is very easy to park in. i do not own a car, but my fiancee it does. when they were doing work on our street, there were plenty of other places to park. i do not understand what the concerns are. it is not a difficult place, even with all of the people that come to the neighborhood. a number of people really do take public transit and walk and bicycle and those communities. it seems to work in that neighborhood. i also think that it is important that we look at this project in the way that it is contemplated. as a good model of how we can develop a pretty large site. that is something we often struggle with at the commission. i am very disappointed with the developer that they did not do the necessary outreach with the unions. it will have been very nice if we did not have to get blindsided by that today. you have to do the work, it would have been a lot better for us all if you -- if that effort had been made in advance of the hearing. we would like to think tha

it is important to know about people's perception of usability or access. to actually go along with a checklist and really be able to objectively assess what is out there and the availability. it is important, helping us to identify areas where there are minimum in easy fixes, making those units so much more efficient. the tenants in those units,, they must have an overall prioritization strategy for placing seniors with disabilities in units based on specific needs. the report in front of you talked about prioritizing people with disabilities and seniors and being put in lower floors of ground level units. really, we need to take a close look at our existing stock, needs, and be able to match them up with the accessibility situation. just because someone might be aging it does not necessarily oppose -- it does not necessarily oppose the limitation on their physical mobility or their need for a bigger bathroom. but by simply installing a grab bar, it may. you have heard it before. mark -- multiple agencies and departments are involved, but there is not a co

the usable area would be separated by at least 3 feet from the eastern and southern parameters. the department would note that if the garage structure was not present, the rear yard could be used as open space without permits being required at all. the impact is open space, it would be similar to impacts greeted by the garage roof. the recommendation is that the commission not take dr and approve the project as proposed. >> thank you. dr request your, you have five minutes. -- requestor, you have five minutes. >> ok. thank you for giving us the opportunity to speak on behalf of the owners of our building and the renters as well. i live at 1468 francisco street. it is a four units right next to 49 defense discuss street. -- 1490 francisco street. i have lived in the marina for 24 years. some more pictures

on the landscaping, i have not looked at the plant in great detail, but i hope we have usable areas within these courtyards which would have areas where people could actually sit and enjoy themselves, rather than decorative areas they would look at. that was softened -- their own little parks within the building. it is very good. in regards to parking, and i would encourage project sponsor to work with car share and see if there is a possibility of including more car share. there may be plentiful street parking, a lot of people might not want to have a car, especially if they leave it on the street and it is broken into frequently. they may prefer to use cart share. it gives them a third option. it will attract a lot of potential renters if they could utilize a car share. commissioner sugaya: thank you. a little detail that does not have anything to do with the project. on your drawing sheets, you have central spelled wrong. [laughter] before you go to the public or whatever, after this meeting, you may want to take a look at that. i have a question with respect -- the city currently on is

we did not have any usable in my building. that was ok for those of us who went out a lot or had good units like me. these people were in relatively small units, comfortable enough. we had no open space near. when i look at some of the newark senior housing developments at geary and pol they have wonderfuland com -- wonderful common space and roof gardens. some units are in an old hotel without a common space. i do recognize what paul says. they have a lobby that is a common room. they have a room in the back that is a television room. it is dark and windowless because it is an old building. i think if you are building new ones, it would be a good thing to have that where we live, there is no part -- park for any of us. the only substantial park is lafayette up a big hill the other way. there is no place to sit on polk street. i do agree with paul warmer that this is something to pay attention to. >> thank you. any further public comment on this item? >> leave them there and start talking. >> [unintelligible] >> [inaudible] >>

the usable space requirement requires 15 it usable square feet for the actual number of units to get in. you are proposing that if the lots are combined, you actually would have 9800 square feet. when you separate out the lots, the 1500 condos only have 400 units of free space. you are changing the product out. we have subdivided one project into two separate projects. white it is a financing issue, i am not sure. the project today is different than the project was presented. >> please continue. >> in essence, i have been able to address supervisor wiener's questions to highlight the bulk of my point. if this project had been intended to be subdivided into two different sub projects all along, it should have been submitted as such. we have a package deal that has been subdivided into two package. it is different than what was approved by the board previously. that is where i see the violation of ceqa. the information presented to the board is not the same information on which you will be moving forward and endorsing this project. turning back to the diagram just for a moment, this re

, and for me, this starting point is that the information is available more quickly and in a more usable format. it is there. it is and number four, .consistent with the comment i made a moment ago about the requirements of, at advancing the purposes, my suggestion may be as simple as changing number four to flip the two substantive elements of that sentence, to make the information publicly available in a shorter time frame and a more usable format and to conserve staff resources. i believe that is how it belongs. the commissioner -- is there any reason that would be -- >> i do not see that is a problem. chair hur: any problem with that? >> i think that is an excellent suggestion. chair hur: any other comments from the commissioners with respect to this item? let's open it up for public comments.>> i had a comment or n about the paper filings as opposed to the e-filing. i am a treasure of a small club, and we put out a filing every year, 54 $6,000 in costs us, and the electronic filing program is where can -- $5,000 to $6,000 it costs us, and the e-filing, i do not think that calculated

building with the other concepts of the neighborhood that would make the space more attractive and more usable. i think the issue on recapturing the alleys is something that we have seen in areas of the city and this is an opportunity south of the market because there are some lovely alice, figuring out how to make those joint, open spaces as well, that people may have to go through for other purposes. i believe there is a great opportunity around trees and greening. i think that people love from the streets. you walk down delores' street and this is so beautiful. there are so many trees and has this feeling that is very common. you go down folsom street and you want to get off as quick as possible. i think that, looking at the south of market, this is so critical for us to figure out how to make those spaces accommodate new places, but also, create the density that we need, taking into consideration a large residential projects. many of the spaces will continue to be other types of spaces and it brings in the concept of work and the types of buildings with people talking about, if you are an
