what is before you is a proposed change of use for 1945 hyde street, the valencia garage. change it from a public parking facility to a residential condominium. in addition to this change in use is a request for a rear yard variants, which is before mr. sanchez today. my understanding is that a change of use must serve the community affected. the residents of russian hill would not be best served by granting this change of use. the density, topography, housing stock, and aging population will suffer with the loss of this parking garage. so mr. sanchez does not feel ignored this afternoon, the project sponsor is also requesting approval of a rearguard variance to reduce the required rear yard of 25 feet by 60% to 810-foot rear yard. since the developer would not be providing sufficient rearguard open space for the new residents, additional demands would be placed on the very little existing public open space in the neighborhood. please do not approve this change of use, and please do not approve this variance. thank you very much. commissioner olague: thank you.

the century-old valencia the raj -- garage provide some relief by alleviating some street parking. nonetheless, it is my 30-plus your observation that it is virtually impossible to park anywhere near the valencia garage after 6:00, and you are lucky to find a spot during the day. further -- never mind. skip that. time limit. city proclamation recognizing the value of the valencia garage, the city and county of san francisco issued a proclamation long before this became an issue, stating in part -- here is the proclamation. valencia auto service has provided parking spaces for more than 40 automobiles, thus relieving parking congestion in the neighborhood. that was at a time when the middle layer was a repair shop, so there was parking on the third level and parking on the first level, but there was no parking on the second. we now have 58 parking spaces. on two occasions in the past two years, when i parked at the valencia, i witnessed to the wheeler drivers to happen to be blocking my driveway, and asked the attendant if there were available monthly parking spaces. they were told

the previous owners of valencia on a were also small business people. a lot of our customers come from other neighborhoods in san francisco. some come from other states and other countries. over the years, the only complete we have heard about our neighborhood, because people love it, is the difficulty of finding parking. it has helped us survive, which has been so crazy recently. i spoke to my neighbor, ho owns the restaurant -- who owns a restaurant. ask you to take into account the loss of business and negative financial impact on his restaurant if we lose the existing neighborhood parking. it is a concern for us as well. asks you to take into account along with any other uphill battles he has faced during the economic crisis. he also told me that specifically, his business went down about 25% during a six-week shutdown in august of 2009, so it is pretty indicative of the strength of the garage, the impact on the neighboring restaurants. for us, we have lost customers who visited our shop, wanted to buy something from us, but did not want to deal wit

the closest i am aware of is between mission and valencia. i believe it is 22nd, the october revolution cafe. commissioner fong: i am following up on the idea of bringing some of the energy to the front of the space with a park. there might be an opportunity for the solution to pick up the five or 10 seats you may lose in the backyard and bring it up front. president olague: is that something that is doable? commissioner antonini: you could not require it because the city would have to approve that, but you could require them make applications for a parklet. i would consider that part of the motion. that could work. >> if i may, i think it is important that the condition on the monitoring read something to the effect that the commission could impose additional conditions in the future, or modify your conditions of approval if the conditions warrant it. commissioner borden: that is a question i wanted to ask and did not ask. maybe we should be a little more explicit. my only other concern then is how do deal with the reality that people in the

the cause of the major flooding and valencia is because this comes on 26 st.. there is a planning effort going on to the eastern portion which includes the one on one interchange. there is a lot of natural water right in this place. there's a lot of interest in this community about the eastern portions in bringing the water forward. there is a concern if there is creek water, ground water that is being mixed with sewage upstream, then the question is how will we use it downstream where we want to use it? this is a real concern and i have been talking with staff about this and i think that these are questions that i am still not 100% clear about and i would urge you to look at this also. not only that, but this comes down 26 street and this is the most northernmost portion of the watershed which is the largest in san francisco. not only is this the drainage base but there is ground water. this is also the creek water. the new goal is old. this is fresh water. i think that we need to be more protective and respectful of this and also understand the multiple commi

i have been to auckland, new zealand, of valencia, spain, to watch the america's cup and i have witnessed firsthand the changes that have happened and those cities. a great legacies of change that have occurred in the port, the cities, and tourism for those cities. i applaud you and approving this agreement and helping to make this deal happen. i also know that the obligations are far less for this america's cup then it was in valencia, or auckland. the city and state of san francisco got a tremendous deal with the america's cup event authority. i would like us to focus on those things we have to do, literally thousands of tasks that need to get done before we are on the world stage in less than two and a half years. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i would like to say thank you for support staff and all of those who negotiated the deal. we must understand that they were negotiating under pressures. i think that we have been remarkably civil in the discussions around the america's cup and quite unified. however, i think that supervisor campos is correct, there will be people

this is like what we did on valencia or divisidero. there it are the pedestrian countdown signals, crosswalks, and other by a plan " amenities -- bike plan amenities, so this is just the streets, sidewalks, the ramps, so what we could include, and it seems there is probably room that would enable us to add more, a property tax policy cap, there would be st. state improvements, and the other thing would be discussing some transit improvements, such as overhead wire renovation, which the mta has identified, in their capital plant, as caps in funding, in this kind of fits well with the st. bonds. supervisor chiu: i did not hear you talk about bicycle improvements in addition to other transit-related stuff. i think the more that we will be able to convince san francisco that we need it for all of san francisco? >> yes, we need to have a category, and it certainly includes the biplane elements, as well, so it would be pedestrian, bicycle, and kind of the environmental improvements, such as we have seen on places like valencia. supervisor ch

if you went to valencia and valencia has small use size, it would be whatever prevails. the idea is to create parity between these self-service restaurants and other types of businesses in most nc districts. it does not matter if it is a restaurant, a video store, a liquor store, or a hardware store. anything larger than 3000 square feet would require conditional use. it raises that to parity with all the others. that is how we change that. even where you do not change the restrictions, even where small self-service remains conditionally permited are principally permitted and large self service is prohibited, at least you could open larger restaurants and give folks a little more flexibility. the inner sunset was a commercial district. it is a very small size limit. large self service was not permitted. we may conditionally permited so it has parity with every other business. there is a retail coffee stored definition. retail coffee stores have only 400 square feet you can devote to seeding. you can sell coffee. you can also sell incidental baked goods, but you cannot do

valencia gardens is like night and day when you walk through our neighborhood. those trees are bare and for at least nine months out of the year. they have no branches. they have no leaves. you may have perceptions of the species, but they are not appropriate for that building. it just exacerbates the effect of light. we really do not understand how this improvement, which enjoys so much support and was fast tracked by supervisor dufty, and i have e-mails by him supporting this appointment, have changed so rapidly. i do not hear ms. swanson explaining why she changed her mind, simply that she has. because maybe 50 people who live in the housing authority building support taking -- keeping those buildings that it overrides the concerns of over 100 citizens who promptly and enthusiastically sign a statement of support. these are people who own their homes, who pay taxes, who have children, who live in the neighborhood and have an enormous financial stake. i do feel that paying $2.50 million in property tax over the last 10 years gives the 20 residents of by buildi

more appropriate street trees, such as those clinton all around balance your garden's -- around valencia gardens. the permit was supported by the housing authority and the department of public works bureau of urban forestry. i personally met with the on- site manager for the property. she was enthusiastic about the idea of having evergreen trees on the sidewalk in front of their building. we looked at various tree species that day. a hearing was held in december, due to citizen protests filed by a resident of the housing project. i attended as an advoca replacee trees and presented a written statement. carla short of the bureau of urban forestry gave testimony as to why the trees have been recommended for replacement by her agency. her testimony noted that in the 30 years of their lives the trees have never been properly cared for and failed to ever grow scaffolding branches. she further noted that these trees have been seriously impacted due to another episode of damaging and improper pruning. their radically, these trees are supposed to be trimmed annually so they can quickly resume in

we are here in the mission on valencia. for every dollar donated to the organization, we generate $30 to help low income women start their own businesses. within two years of women going through the course, their assets and income tripled. i think this is a wonderful organization. if small business growth is not a priority, if helping women within the community is not a priority, is seeing low income women rise up the ladder of success is not a priority, i would like to know what is.
