Will violate. Good afternoon commissioner lisa president of the Liberty Hill Neighborhood Association again pretty much what has been said at the last couple of hearings has been said id like to reiterate the real concerns of the neighborhood since the last hearing ive heard no real residents ive come into contact it is my in fwroks the comments im not Hearing Support but serious concerns about the dead space on valencia and real concerns about more parking congestion Traffic Congestion and so forth and thats never been addressed you look at the comparison of retail people versus people saeks e assessing the medical facility that didnt tell the story regardless of transit first policy people will drive to medical appointment if you look at mtas statistic that might show the number of tickets and towed vehicles around 20th and valencia im sure youll find a tremendous increase in flagrant parking violation and the congestion of 20th and 21st street is really reaching you you know a crisis proportion you can hardly get through this is the emergency vehicles and the addition of flower stalls outside of a medical facility the neighborhood didnt want or need there i think is a real attempt to just try to sneak something by no real relevance to the project we have flowers stalled and lots of coffee shops this will not help thank you. Yes. Coalition for health care housing, jobs, and justice ive actually been talking about sutter camtc i think were going to have those issues for two reasons one is that in dealing with the project sponsor in the beginning there was an attempt always to pull out individual facilities out of the master plan in 2007 they tried to pull that out making it a separate facility not fathoming taking into account the impact on the campus the same thing on closings st. Lukes the impacts of potrero hill if you pull one thing out it didnt effect other things a stand alone clinic effects the medical buildings across the street the st. Lukes hospital will struggle if we start having those satellite clinics threatens the vibrate of st. Lukes were still concerned and the other thing in terms of the Transportation Planning i was the chair for the 5 facilities the Transportation Planning around health care is incredible theres emergency theres shift work, theres patient and physicians, theres workers this facility must have some access to parking there are alternatives in the neighborhood you if you have you know people with children and buggies theyre not necessarily going to get on bart and pregnant women not on buses we have to have parking for staff and others thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is a Jefferson Jefferson a manager of a bus company and run that company for the last 6 years on valencia street im a resident in the neighborhood for 12 years i cherish the Mission District i have a lot for the Mission District some people dont understand thats why im here because of the my passion for my neighborhood when i saw the building go up ill reserve for comments for the architecture aspect last years of the building whether i found out that it was going to be one big long block of a medical facility i was concerned again, im in the Merchant Association to there was discussion the people approached us and asked us for our support we said we want to see morality in the street small independent retail makes Mission Special it is the only place in the United States that has a milelong stretch of the chain free it is special tourists come to see it, the people that live there cherish and value that in spirit were going to lose that with the medical facility coming in i appreciate ive gone right direction by offering tiny 3 feet wide not a huge step in the right direction but reasoning in the right direction so if theyll continue to move in that direction and add more valencia facing nonsutter retail ill support the project the active space doesnt seem active. Public comment on this item. Id like to. Yourself the project sponsor right. I ask to read a letter that was submitted today i dont know if it is in your commissioner packets. You can pass it out or put it on the rail and well circulate it. A member of the Liberty Hill Neighborhood Association okay is there any additional Public Comment all right. Seeing none Public Comment is closed. Commissioner antonini. A few comments that a very good adaptation and incorporates almost everything well asked for with the frontage on valencia street to answer some of the comments weve talked about that at other hearings theres a big diverse within a medical Office Building and an urgent care clinic different used for Different Things most of the patients seen at a medical Office Building or office are related to in patient care or people that be finished being in hospitals and coming in for urgent care urgent care people are regular doctors theyll go to the urgent care facility so you know my family has used both there are Different Reasons for different uses this is a good edition to the mission sgriktd we have implement of the retail an admission ive heard people criticize it is expensive retail but people are talked about the need for Health Services that will be a good edition in terms of the frontage i think this is a great adaptation between the Retail Outlet that was proposed and now the micro retail and the planters and the mural if you look at the facing of valencia very little that didnt have retail yours or the murals on a couple of entrances on the extreme north ends so i think theyve done in my estimation what we asked them to do and the adaptation is a good one is allows the building to function behind the micro retail that takes a variety of different uses im in favor. Commissioner moore. Since the magical use is not allowed in this corridor the project sponsor made a good use, however the more we try the less im convinced this original intent is designed for this use we spent a lot of time with the building itself it was not the most important building in the approval but once the i see the planner nodding weve spent a lot of time having the architect going back to create a ground floor configuration that is indeed directly in the spirit of what is intended in the valencia corridor ear summarizing that in the cover to todays package and i think while i appreciate the attempt to use the thinking denttion of the mr. Larkin for a micro unit this is still not meeting the spirit of retail corridor this space is much too shallow you need 2 housing unit 6 foot four in different and the mural didnt do it further takes what should be there and not there i cant unfortunately support it ill see what my fellow commissioners have to say. Commissioner antonini. I just wanted to ask staff to have a motion to approve i think that could be given to us and along with the motion to disapprove. Commissioner richards. I guess somebody brought of issue the underserved as it regularities to the master plan maybe the gentleman or the staff planner can talk about what the master plan is how it relates to it is the three or four time the bread crumple trail and hear from the project sponsor. From planning code the department didnt need a consistency determination with the Health Care Services master plan. This is the determination it is made in pitcher with the department of Public Health so a change of use to medical use that will accompany 10 thousand grow secret square feet or any additions adding square feet shall have a consistency determination this project explicit qualify for that. Because of consistency. Smaller nan than the threshold this is received for the Master Health care plan. This is less than that. Not big enough okay. The project sponsor can you let us know tells you why this ground floor the whole reason. I know ive heard it many, many weeks ago. So why this spot we looked at weve been looking for over a year for space weve particular want to be near st. Lukes hospital your plan were part of sutter were part of you know were part of that organization and st. Lukes hospital quite frankly needs revitalization and not bricks and monitoring that make a hospital come it is physicians and patient and that relationship and we need primary care in that area to support the positive o hospital so the specialists will come and patients will come thats why we wanted to be in that area to address the issue of the underserved that was brought up we the our own look at that area and currently there are 73 thousand people that live in the area there is not enough doctors in that neighborhood 36 primary care physicians are are needed to serve that kind of population and i guess we dont have a tackle but only 28 primary care doctors in that area 8 of them over the age of 65 and this didnt take into account 5 percent growth that is projected we want to be in that area to serve the populations to bring needed health care serves to people that live there and support st. Lukes hospital in being successful with a brand new hospital and a new Office Building. So this medical Office Building on the campus of st. Lukes. There is a medical building the way it works most the doctors that need to be right there they hospital are the surgeon specialists the o b g y n and the orthopedic surges or surgeons and primary care doctors should be no community to have that assess. Tell you why not the second floor why ground retail. We didnt find a second floor anymore this looks like an excellent location only 7 blocks from st. Lukes so it had good access with Public Transportation good street access and you know just to correct perspectives it is authorized for medical use the problem with the size limitation but i dont know when those ordinances were put into effect quite frankly the knowledge tiny mom and pop clinics that doctors practiced in they remember the way of the birds young doctors coming out dont want to practice in the 3, 2, 1 clinics but access to connect activity we know what it takes to recruit physicians to an area it takes more than 3 the house square feet. Sure one other question if this use literally across the street from st. Lukes do you think the community will have an issue on the hacking master plan situation and i cant speak im surprised there is any objection to this i dont know. Thank you. Commissioner moore. Sir summarize what happened when do that a last week the commission felt the application was not commissioners, on that motion because the project will not promote street corners and pedestrians refined in when is appropriate and capable with the valencia commercial triumphing Transit District weve spent a lot of time hoping to promote the sdrishlth district and many many cases this building sticks out because of its size but because the only repeat after me qualities that had which we approved it was the ability for multiple retail spaces multiplicative retail spaces were sitting hereafter the applicant or applicant has been resistant almost walking out of here off forgot about that weve hardly gone back to have a revised motion of disapproval in front of us for the applicant to succeed it a little bit i have to repeat myself given the amateur of energy for the residential building with ground floor multiple ground floor retail we need to is it correct to our guns and be consistent and how we look at this project. Commissioner antonini. Yeah. I remember that approval there are a lot of redeeming things you cant always get what you want you want a cobbler or headquarter store we cant dictate when we have of the had w wafer retail this is an important need it is a need . An underserved area just like years ago a dental student i served a rural area there were no dentists a shortage of physicians thats how youll begin to build a community with the health care in commission and choose to have it at st. Lukes so the whole thing works together it a good use i think there is plenty of other space for retail that exists and there are some still some vacancies and plenty of room on Market Street for morality im supportive of this and i would like to move to approve it today. Second. Commissioner wu. It is challenging i think that the move it two tentative for me hearing what the ill see what my fellow commissioners have to say around looking at to carve out much larger space i heard the staff to say your confusing the planters and i was it im not clear project sponsor i think on the third page of the yeah, so if we could bring up the monitor here. So the planters here i think referred to the mud stop. No. I can speak to that commissioner wu. The intent there was to utilize the Additional Space on either side of the al confidence there are two exist planters that in previous it ration on july 2nd were planting material to convert those to tell you a plants for sale that is put in at the corner or if it was a different use like a news stand put racks of monopolies and magazines or something in that space to maximize that full thirty foot frontage we looked at the just trying to make that as active as we could during the hours of operation. Thank you. I said now. Again for me that is a move thats two small i think that i was more interested in seeing something of equal to the existing retail space the 3 hundred and 25 feet looking for a move closer. Schoks and thank you very much yeah. I think one thing that is helpful to say although the commissioners felt the late it ration needed Forward Movement everyone had a different idea so i want to say i appreciate the project sponsors Movement Towards doing something that is more than what was there before not one unified voice i feel last week this works i feel that micro retail is a concept that ive seen popping up all cross the city it works for having rotating uses are one eye that is neighborhood serving that didnt need that much space i personally asked for to keep the variety and to keep the movement of people on valencia valencia street one of the reasons not the only one the retail of valencia street works you have a variety of people coming in and out of doors different sounds and smells that makes that corridor works in addition to the support for Small Businesses why that corridor works i supported having a Health Care Use on the ground floor but part of having a healthy neighborhood the vibrancy having people in the city and build neighborhoods that stay around and not move somewhere else you cant have one use youve got to have one liveable neighborhood within one envelope i had that tension p there i personally them while not a fullscale but personally what i asked for and all 7 commissioners commissioner hillis not here today broadwaysansome apartments but everyone has a different idea i might ask a question to the project sponsor commissioner wus sentiment can you talk about again why you were not able to do more of a full scale reconfiguration of the space. Thank you commissioner johnson by that are you referring to the previous testament that look at the retail on the north side of the site and we asked you to do a little bit more to not have the space in the middle over the building one the ideas why cant you do reconfiguration to recreate that 3 hundred and 25 square feet retail in the south side of the building or on the north ends and that was one option that was presented. Uhhuh. So a question why where were you not able to do a full configuration. In part due to the fact the retail near the corner makes sense for the good urban stand out having the cad i mentioned of the activity from the mid block to the corner and in this stance from micro to retail to clinic excluding the level the activity placing the retail makes sense to us when we looked to move to the north side this is a primary care center for universal access to skewer and the great difference of from the corner of 20th down towards 19th street required us to do ramping to get into that space we thought that ramping would seek further into the space and start eating into program area in the models were looking at this is not a large size in the modern Health Care Planning so having a retail components at the north side eats into the program area raise more concerns about the viability of the enterprise in and of itself accept especially in a health care dynamic a bunch of specialists caring for their patients does that answer your question to what your asking. I think that reflects the reasoning from the last time we were hear but ill see what my fellow commissioners have to say they feel like the changes are reflective of that thank you. Commissioner richards. So when we met maybe if so project sponsor could come up i love this idea i think the 39 feet and the thirty feet and i see the flower stand in the union street area we want to get a retain to figure out though a condition it gets used so the can you tell me who is leasing to to who and weve been in discussions with the developer of the property and the space will think leased directly in the pertaining to a tenant the idea that theyll handle the leasing side of that you he is been very supportive of this he said that this will be something hell have no trouble supporting and marketing and leasing leasing. My question will be to staff is there a condition this needs to be active that here we have a project sponsor years ago we asked him to do 3 retail says that the track record is dodge i didnt he put a hook up for the flower stand and decided it is not worst the trouble and closes the door now we have a dead space how do we insure that will get used. Commissioner you can require it be a retail use it fulfills the use of a retails function but no nothing you can do to say you have to have a personal use in there, there are lots of raltsdz spaces in the city that are vacant you cant require that if you sign a lease with someone you can require the space be provided to be usedable by a retailer but not required
