the workshop cafe has a full service kitchen. it serves meals, snacks and beverages throughout the day and meets the definition of a restaurant. food and beverage sales are 66% of the cafe's gross receipts. and they employ people, including a full-time culinary manager. food and beverages are served throughout the space, making the areas not accessory to the restaurant use, but part of the restaurant use. in response to the brief, they tried to make distinctions between certain seating areas. but these distinctions are not relevant. the definition of restaurant and you the planning code. the planning code defines a restaurant as retail sales and service use that prepared ready to eat cooked foods to customers for consumption on the premises with seating. the definition of restaurant under the planning code does not dictate how the restaurant should operate its business. charging for a seat, or requiring every person to order food are not relevant to the planning code definition. they're comparing the cafe to what it considers a t

i was a member of the kearney street workshop in its infant stages in the mid 1970's. being a teacher of arts and crafts type of things and eventually joining their photography sort of unit i guess and she helped publish books and document what was going on around the chinese or the chinatown community. it has been that long. i didn't realize that. but my goodness. i actually almost forgot i was a member of it. so, i'm glad we are doing this today. >> president breed: thank you. so there is a motion and second. and can we open it up to public comment. are there any members of the public who would like to comment. seeing none, public comment is closed. can we take the motion without objection? without objection the motion passes unanimously. on the actual item, same house, same call. without hundred the resolution is adopted unanimously. >> clerk: even behalf of supervisor peskin for the late players ernie bile and mr. steven fong. and for the late miss merial dunaway. and on behalf of supervisor tang for the late ms sharon balmier. and for the late doris ward former as

and one of the most impressive things about him, we had a workshop, where we do various workshops with international partners. we did a workshop in 2015, the two presenters were the now president of the european parliament, who was from the center right european people's party and congressman pompeo. this was long before he was considered for the cia. his insights were impressive. and as the workshop came to an end he said i've got to leave a little early. i'm heading to vienna with my friend, senator tom cotton. we're going to the iaea in vienna to talk about the iran deal. then we found out after that trip that senator cotton, representative pompeo had uncovered the existence of side codicils to the iran deal between the iaea and iran that didn't need to be submitted to congress for approval. that's the kind of person he is. he's a skeptic in some ways of these kind of international agreements, but it's exactly the person you want. if you're going to get a good agreement with north korea, if there's a possibility to get an agreement, mike pompeo is the guy to do it. he knows the toug

those workshops in home ownership, that is a given. i'd like to say that. the second thing you mentioned, and in the outreach, are we just limiting the outreach to also 30 people on the island, you know, the main land, and sfhdc when they sent out, how did this outreach, this combination of the stakeholders that we're reaching out, are they solely the population that we're targeting or are other folks also being invited to this meeting? for me, i'd like the clarification. and also, some of the concerns that you mentioned has to do with splitting households, i didn't really know how to qualify that. sometimes we really need to know what are they talking about here, you know, what do they mean by splitting households, any of these issues. and i know that we talk about the guidelines, it's part of what all these workshops are all about, specific guidelines that we have development over the years that right now should be a template as we're conducting all these workshops so that before we even get to the selection, the residents really know what we are talking

i'd like to bring up tom, from the arts commission, to introduce cass and the arts performing workshop to talk about what comes next. >> thank you, phil. it's so exciting to be here this morning. i have the privilege of being part of this project for the last six years and as a neighbor, i can't thank my community neighbors enough for this fight over the years. i know we have plenty of work ahead, but i'm committed as a partner at the arts commission to making that happen. this is a neighborhood with one of the highest density of children, youth and families in all of san francisco. it's also a neighborhood that lacks a cultural facility like many of the other neighborhoods in san francisco, so it is overdue that we finally have a premiere cultural center in district 11. [applause] and it's exciting because it's not just this facility that is happening, we are also about to break ground on the art center with our partner art span. and we continue to work with incredible partners like youth art exchange, art span, performing arts workshop and all the arts and culture organizations that

we have workshops for teachers, workshops for people who do various kinds of history. we have a lot of professional development sessions. the format has become a lot more flexible. a lot more roundtable this . roundtableg, a consisted of one person speaking for 10 minutes about an op-ed he had written and three other historians criticize what he has written, responding and opening up to the audience. it is not the same kind of -- let's all stand here and talk about our research. susan: would the subcategories of history have expanded a lot? in these studies i'm talking to , people who studied baseball history and medical history. was that prevalent a decade ago? james: probably not. i think people have probably broadened. not just the things people are interested in, but the things that are considered legitimate areas of teaching and research. the tagline is that everything has a history. whether it is gardening, baseball. and it is not just that everything has a history. there are ways in which all history matters that people don't realize. i was discussing with a mem

>> so what we're working toward right now is have a series of community workshops. we're aiming for mid june. the workshops is going to bring back the data analysis and outreach and then later this summer we'll have open house where it will be the culmination of everything we've seen and heard in the work shops and later this fall, we'll be back to the board with the near and long-term recommendations to the implementation plan. >> supervisor sheehy: so really the fall of this year, maybe a year from now we might see those go in? >> with those recommendations we have to see where we have funding as well as public support. one of the things that we're working on that we called out in the initial scope when we got the funding for the project was that we're taking a look at market to 15th. market to 15th was a stretch of valencia called out in the pine apartment public plan for parking protected bike lanes. we have an engineer working on a fees nlt of that stretch. if it looks like it will work, we'll get the protected bike lanes. >> supervisor sheehy: less than a year

for the stakeholders that were involved in the review workshops. these include a recommendation that the operators need to finalize a workable blended service plan for the hea harmonious joint operation of the hair shared line and terminals, including train service from fir infrastructure south of the area and plans for vehicles servicing in storage. the plan should be reviewed and tested and verified with widely stepped stimulation tool. secondly the two operators in tjpa need to identify and select a workable and acceptable and workable set of moveable platform adaptations that will allow both services to build at all platforms. third, potentially developing the right-of-way of the construction dtx project is an important task in this phase of the development project. based on it, the two operators and tjpa need to review the possible tradeoffs between track and switch design spenders and for low speed owners. including the right-of-way impracticals of constructing the gtx tunnel. the goal should be mack mizeing benefit and minimizing environment

the final at our meeting, and then, i can submit that -- a copy to the commission -- the list of workshops. and then, those are up on, i think the small business week website. >> great. thank you. >> and you said may 14 -- the evening of may 14 is the kickoff event. >> r. dick-endrizzi: yes. >> will you -- >> r. dick-endrizzi: we will not have a commission meeting, and we are -- i had sent out an e-mail. we will not be able to have a commission meeting. i was given the wrong information about the availability of this room or any of the other hearing rooms for monday, may 7th. so there is an alternate date that we're working with, and i'll have that for you tomorrow. >> i can do monday, may 7th. >> r. dick-endrizzi: unfortunately, there are no rooms available monday, may 7th. so -- and then, there's the same thing for the week of may 28th, which is the fourth monday, but that is memorial day, so i will be sending out notification of alternative dates. >> okay. okay. any other questions for the commissioner -- i mean, for the director? seeing none, next item, please. >> clerk: item nine, com

big outcry at the time because it was seen that white french people were being banned from these workshops i read the you said the north african women asian women were also not so loud. but whoever was most into loud isn't it still some form of segregation you know because segregation is something that comes from the state and that really instore account of the hierarchy so saying that there are people who have moved more value that other people those workshops where men for black women just to meet and to speak about their issues for a couple of hours so that doesn't threaten anything regarding the low it's just a space where black women can speak about the issue that can be discrimination that they are facing the very specific discrimination that they're fifteen as black women you have some other activities that would be open to all women of color because as a woman of color you don't experience the same kind of racism as men of color and as white people definitely so it's led to me is not a threat and i was kind of surprised by the attention that small festival gained because in paris f
