Unit. So that was almost just as easy as a decision for us. This is not as much of a nobrainer because theres an existing house there. But one thing that pops up in my mind is the proximity to bart and the fact that for planning purposes, we should be densifying near the bart stations. It doesnt have a fourcar garage or anything like that. Its a fourunit building, which is if you think about it, it will make it more affordable than it would be if it stays asis. And proximity to bart is putting me over the fence on this one. It wouldnt be the end of the world if it was continued, but im supporting the project asis. Commissioner richards we talked last night and we talked about the dominos falling and this will be the first of the entire street and then there goes the entire street. And i asked you to provide us with a look at what the street looks like even though ive been there. This would be for the rest of the commissioners. And you said you would. Can you help us out by showing us what the context is . Can you go to the overhead . There was a comment at the last hearing by one of the commissioners that led to the conversation commissioner richards asked if tearing this down would have a domino effect on the street that we would be losing either Historic Housing or rentcontrolled housing or both. And theres a chart showing the other units on the street. By the other units, i mean this. This is the unit in question that were talking about today. This one is the corner and the one next to it and the singlefamily home that were talking about here today. What this chart shows and i have surveys for the planning department, historic surveys, that every building on this block, other than the small one right here, but every other building is rentcondition controlled or historic. Its my belief and your commission has said this over and over, where theres a rentcontrolled building or a building with historic nature to it, it will not be something that the commission will be allowing to be demolished. Commissioner richards you mentioned housing accountability act, i believe. Is it your understanding that rentcontrolled buildings would be allowed to be demolished under housing accountability act if their supplanted with more units . The building question today is not rentcontrolled, but i dont know ive read the housing accountability act. I dont know whether use of it would allow the demolition whether the city would be liable under it for saying we wont demolish if theres a multiunit building. I dont think you are liable if you refuse to demolish a multiunit, rentcontrolled building. That could create a finding that you could make thats not in the health and safety and in the best interests of the public. Thats a finding that i think would work. I dont think findings on turning down this project as proposed are easy to make under the housing accountability act. Commissioner richards my fear is, and i made the motion it approve this, if we went this way and the dominos started to fall and we get to the multiunit and people say, theres no historic and theres no health or safety issues. Like they will get hurt physically, that were not on solid ground still. And that really worries me. [please stand by] for 7,000, a replacing it with what youre just saying is an economic equation, i think were going directly against that policy support. And for that reason, i cannot support the application. Its for that very reason. Vice president richards i understand. Commissioner moore its a game that is skillfully played, and we are sitting here, not quite knowing how to respond to the housing accountablity act, although i believe commissioner hillis gave a very good four or five reasons of why we should not support this billing. Vice president richards you can tell its conflicted internally. Commissioner moore yeah. I hear you, but i also hear of what we call supported with a lot of work and a lot of work from the community to do here. It was a very simple answer and a very simple support to do that. Vice president richards sure. Perhaps we should have recommended a rezoning here, as well. Again, i would support a continuance. I dont think we have a great reason to deny. I think weve got legitimate design concerns about this building that havent been addressed by what he kind of came back to us. We asked to kind of look at the context, and thats the massing, also. Its not just putting on a different facade to this building, and i think in good faith, you should have met with folks in the community to try to figure out what works best. So thats you know, i im not comfortable at all taking action. President hillis Commission Commissioner johnson . Commissioner johnson yeah, and i know this is my last hearing, but i also agree. I dont think the commission has enough information to deny this. I still have not heard what those objective findings would be. I think that if, you know, theres a couple things that actually could happen. If we want to say that demolishing safe structures goes against the health and safety code, that is one thing. But i look at the plan that is presented here, and weve seen similar projects that there have been various attempts. Theres four units in this plan, and weve seen projects with four or five units where developers have greed to give one unit to the voluntary hows Housing Program because its not required for buildings under ten units. Weve seen other sorts of benefits or other ways to sort of make projects conform a little bit more with the community, and i just dont feel like weve had any opportunity for that discussion to have happened. All im hearing is people saying theres been no communication and people havent spoken. I would have even felt better making a decision one way or another hearing if theyd met and screamed at each other for an hour. I think weve been backed into a corner as a commission, and we need to push our way out of this and put this work back on some of the other parties, so i would be supportive of a continuance. One for people to potentially talk to the Supervisors Office for potential changes that she may want to make supervisor ronen may want to make with the planning code to make sure we have approve will for those specific projects in the neighborho neighborhood. And i want the ability for the pr sponsor to have a meeting with the community other than saying i tried. I want there to be evidence that there was actually a meeting and there was discussion and there was no agreement, and i think that at minimum, the commission should request that before getting backed into a corner to make a decision. I also think we should engage with the City Attorney and have a potential closed session on the housing accountablity act . Commissioner moore. Supervisor campos and then supervisor cothen actually participated in the reform of interim controls and helped the Community Come as far as we did. We just need to remind ourselves that they did that. That was a very important step to acknowledge. I was not here on december 12th when when you discussed the project. However, i followed it, and i did not here any objection to the design except for the location, and for facade modification, this particular case, including the changes in demonstration, which makes it a nice building. I could comfortably say in any other location, this would definitely be an approval of the building. However, where it is with the overlay that at the core of this is the demolition of a sound structure, the whole discussion has a completely different meaning, and i do not think that a continuance of this project would create any other result other than the community rightfully presenting the year or 1. 5 or 2 yearlong work with particular emphasis of where this project is. So i personally cannot support a continuance because i dont think it would create anything other than they might scream at each other, and we would be confronted with the same issues that are in front of us right now. So that is my interpretation of where we really are or where we would be with a continuance. President hillis commissioner melgar. Commissioner melgar so theres a motion on the floor, and i believe we could get it over with. I also dont support a continuance, but well see where it goes. If the commission does end up voting for a continuance, i would like to please ask the project sponsor to enter into a conversation with the neighborhood in good faith. Dont say racist things. Show some respect, and then, lets see where it goes. President hillis one, we have a motion, a motion to continue would take precedent if there was a motion to continue. I think we also would be best advised to talk to the City Attorney before approving or denying a project just because housing accountablity has been brought up. Weve approved projects that have demoed buildings single story in rh2 and rh3 that staff has said this was not a historic building, so i think wed want to look at that, also. I dont want to end up in a situation where theres continued conflict on this, which i think we could get at either way commissioner johnson . Commissioner johnson okay. Im going to make a motion to continue to some date in february , and while we look at what date, i would ask that when you go into closed session with the City Attorney, which i hope that will also happen before then, that you specifically ask about demolitions of sou demolitions of sound structures, and if you could make changes to the planning code or the health code, to what changes could you make to be able to make that finding, because i think that thats sort of a key to some things that we want to see around here, and again, this is stuff we cant makeup as we go along. This has been a challenge to our planning code and general plan all along. Its too i go have vague, and chickens are coming home to roost. Commissioner johnson, if you expect the commissioners to actually schedule a closed session prior to reconsidering this matter, i would suggest a date in march, so how about march 22nd . President hillis second. Commissioner richards . Vice president richards three things here. We could have findings, we could change the zoning. The other thing is we could change the housing accountablity act to say you cant demolish Historic Buildings in these types of situations. There is other things you can do to take into account these kind of issues, so there are three things to do, so theres a lot of work to do. President hillis commissioner johnson . Commissioner johnson sorry. Just going to say, first of all, we can change the housing accountablity act . Vice president richards no, i was saying commissioner johnson yes, i know what you mean now. Yes, i think a legislative session for 2018 is probably full up, but i think we can clarify our own codes. Thats something that can happen in the next few months, so theres that. President hillis commissioner moore . Commissioner moore im sorry to say that as a commissioner, i feel like somebodys putting a gun on my head. If theres no clear answer or no clear metrics in the housing accountablity act, how can i just act out of fear for let gas statilet litigation . How can i . If the housing accountablity act is against the basic principles of why were sitting here, deliberating on a very critical issue, then i think we might as well take sometime out of being commissioners because were not doing what were supposed to do. Were kicking the can down the road because by march whatever it is, 22nd, none of those issues are going to be fully vetted. If the City Attorney sitting here cannot give us a clear answer of what that does or does not mean. We have the full account of the housing accountablity act in our packet, and none of it speaks to none of it speaks to using the back up on the mission 2020 plan to basically at least firmly affirm of what we believe in. If we cant do that, i feel basically threatened by a hypothetical litigation, and im not doing my duty. President hillis commissioner johnson . Commissioner johnson i think commissioner moore makes a good point, and i know were belaboring this, but its really important, because it keeps coming back, and we do keep kicking can down the road. The housing accountablity act is completely taking advantage of the fact that our planning code and our general plan are deliberately vague. And we and we and theres not enough guidance for us theres a reason why that whole objective standards term was put in there. It was particularly to try to work around cities like San Francisco that have vague terminology, and im saying i think that theres a way to clarify it so that we can get more of what we want and less of what we dont want, and we should not kick the can down the road and just yell at the state and say, you know, we haste th hate this law. We should clarify our own standards. Ive put a a couple of ideas commissioner richards has put out a couple of codes. I think we need to do that work, and then, we will lighten our load somewhat. President hillis commissioner koppel . I would just remind that the housing accountablity law is to deliberately stop the accountablity of housing. Its for communities, for example, like brisbane who have been holding up housing on their land for years. We dont have the authority or the ability to say it applies to some communities and not others. It is a statewide law, and so i would just remind us of that act. Clerk commissioners, there was a motion with conditions that was superseded by a motion to continue to march 22nd and for the sponsor to work with that community. On that. [ roll call. ] clerk the motion fails, 34 with commissioners koppel, melgar, moor, and richards voting agai voting against. Should i call the motion to approve . [ roll call. ] clerk the motion fails, commissioners, 34, with commissioners fong, melgar, moore, and hillis voting against. I will remind commissioners that if theres no subsequent motion, that this matter will be de facto disapproved by the Planning Commission. Commissioners, kate stacey in the planning department. I will remind you that the housing accountablity act does require specific finding, so if the commission is not going to make specific findings, i would suggest you take a motion to disapproval and give staff some guidance on what information you need for those findings. President hillis commissioner koppel. Is the more preservationist style in here theres two options in our packet, correct . I dont think ones a real option. President hillis commissioner moore. Commissioner moore i will give a strong nod to the sponsor to meet with the commission and have a discussion with the City Attorney what reasonable arguments we could make for the city of San Francisco and this particular neighborhood to indeed create strong arguments of why we deny this project. I think since there is a lot of uncertainty, i do believe a little bit more concise head work at the right time would probably help us to be more articulate with Common Grounds defining criteria. Kate stacey from the City Attorneys office. I think that discussion needs to happen in open session. We can certainly give you legal advice on the risks and consequences of certain kinds of legal analyses in the litigation, but the general spans of what could apply or should apply should happen in open session. There will need to be some discussion about what types of findings and what types of standards would comply with the housing accountablity act and what would the citys position be. Commissioner moore i was never implying that it would be done behind closed doors. I think it would be the benefit of everybody to hear a robust discussion on the subject matter. It is new territory, and again, we could schedule that early in the year and, again, its a big learning curve for all of us, but i think it would very much empower us to be more effective and consistent in how we look at these particular types of cases. President hillis commissioner richards . Vice president richards my take on it, miss stacey, is there would be a motion to disapprove, and wed take a stab or staff working with us would take a stab at the findings so that wed have it in front of us to debate in public. If i may, commissioners, im hearing somewhat two different things. I think what kate stacey was recommending for this particular project, you take a motion of intent, give us time to actually develop right. The second thing that im hearing is a general discussion, but that recommendation at this point would be to give us a motion of intent, give us three weeks, four weeks to develop those findings and to come back with a final vote. Right. President hillis commissioner johnson . Commissioner johnson ill take a stab at it. Make a motion to continue to march 22nd was the original continuance date we had. And for the findings, i know staff will take a stab at it, but ill stick with my original idea. I think seeing no others, that we look for specific Public Health and adverse Public Health and safety impacts of demolition of sound housing. President hillis commissioner moore . Commissioner moore id like to look for consistency with state law that this particular legislation is created to find more equity in what specific communities do in response to director williams interpretation. I think that would be very helpful for us. But on the other hand, im not necessarily supporting making a making a motion of intent to deny because given that the project de facto has been denied by what the outcome of what we just did, why dont we just figure out how we can develop those criteria in order to substantiate our situation today. My concern was even though there wasnt a housing accountablity issue, you dont have a motion in front of you at that time. Commissioner moore im taking the interpretation of secretary ionin the fact that he did not have four votes to support is an automatic denial. When you do that, typically, you take a motion of intent so that we can rewrite the motion for you. Yes. Thats typically what you do when you want to deny. Correct. I dont think were required to do that, commissioner moore. I think in this case, given the discussion of the housing accountablity act, if we wanted to deny the project, it would be in our best interest to go through that effort so that if there is a challenge to this, there are the findings that are reflective of this discussion that can were better articulated. Commissioner moore would the moxy hotel where we had a vote by which there wasnt a Housing Project under the housing accountablity act. Commissioner moore no, but it was the outcome of a type of motion. If the motion doesnt have the required four votes, its automatically denied, and that does not require another motion with intent to deny. President hillis we did a motion to disapprove. It just came back to us. Even though in that interim commissioner moore at this point, a clarification of the moment. Yeah. Theres no requirement that the commission adopt a motion of intent to disapprove. I think the advice from both the Commission President and the director is that it be would be wise to do so. There is no requirement. It would be de facto disapproved without an authorization action by this commission or subsequent continuance motion by this commission. Commissioner melgar . Commissioner melgar im going to second commissioner johns motion. And on that motion, commissioner john, my motion was on march 22nd to continue where the intent was for the project sponsor to work with the neighbors. This, i dont think needs a three month continuance. Commissioner johnson okay. My only suggestion to that would be i still think the closed session on the housing accountablity act to make findings would be helpful, and i think because were looking at intent to disapprove, i dont think it matters if you do it tomorrow president hillis yeah, yeah, commissioner johnson . Commissioner johnson just on commissioner moores point, point taken. I think with other types of disapprovals, the commission generally has the discretion to say yes or no for any or no reason at all. Usually, theyre broad. In this case, its not broad. The law said we have to make specific types of findings, and were not prepared to do that tonight. Clerk all right. Commissioners, there is a motion of intent to deny and continue to march 22nd. On that motion. [ roll call. ] clerk so moved, commissioners, that motion passes 43, with commissioners, moore, richards, and hillis voting against. Commissioners, thatll place us on item 17 for case 201707440 at 2094 folsom street. This is a conditional use authorization. Good evening, commissioners. Commissioner johnson, thank you for your years of public service, for your wit, intellect and human. It will certainly be missed. The item before you is a request for conditional use authorization pursuant to planning codes sections 121. 2, 249. 0303, and 711 to allow the change of use from trade shop to restaurant with accessory brewery and to allow a nonresidential use larger than 4,000 square feet. The new restaurant will occupy space formerly occupied by timbuk2. The existing commercial space is 2,481 square feet in size. The proposed restaurant is 4,646 square feet, inclusive of a mezzanine. Sections require the commission to establish nonresidential criterias for [ inaudible ] and considers the intensity of the activity, the proposed use that the proposed use will serve the neighborhood and that the building in which the use is to be located is designed in discreet elements. Planning code section 3030 establishes criteria that require the commission to consider the existing concentration of the eating and drinking uses in the area. Such concentration should not exceed 33 within the immediate area of the subject site for the purposes of code section 03030, the immediate area shall be defined as all properties westbou within 300 feet of the subject property. One of the chief concerns of the community is the loss of neighborhoods serving retail establishments to destination venues. Community advocates have indicated their desire for regulations and incentives that retain 1 retain in favor of communities serving retail institutions. The Community Concerns gave rise to Commission Interim zoning controls adopted by the Planning Commission on january 14th, 2016. Planning Commission Resolution number 19865 requires any restaurant within the interim control boundary area to obtain a conditional use authorization from the zoning and Planning Commission. Planning code section 711 principlely permitted a restaurant on the Zoning District nc2. While the proposed use is an eating establishment, the percent of commercial frontage in subject in the subject Zoning District within 300 feet of the project site that would be devoted to restaurant and limited restaurant use would increase from 16. 6 to 22. 3 , remaining below the afore mentioned prescriptive 25 maximum. With regard to the accessory brewer re, project 703 states that also requires the use of more than onethird of the total floor area occupied by such use, and the principal or conditional use to which it is accessoried to. Proposed accessory brewer remeasures approximately 475 square feet. Which is 10 of the total 4,644 square feet for the restaurant. Furthermore, the accessory brewer rewill be limited in production to a maximum of no more than 5,000 barrels peryear, however, the project sponsor does not anticipate producing more than 1,000 barrels peryear. Today, the department has received Public Comments inquiring about the project, the hearing, as well as expressing opposition and support of the proposal. United to save the mission submitted an email expressing concerns of the limited amount of production that is proposed. They would much rather see this location to be used for beer manufacturing rather than for consumption. U. S. Sam is in opposition to high end bars and restaurants that do not serve the local community. 12 letters of support have been submitted. Letters of support have been submitted from 12 entities, all correspondences in writing has been included in packet. The project promotes a locally owned small business, the district is well served by transient, therefore, consumers should not impact requirement. The project meets all general requirements of the public planning code. This concludes staffs presentation, and i am happy to answer any questions. President hillis thank you very much. Project sponsor . Welcome. Good evening, commissioners. Im going to be copresenting with timbuk2 as well. Theyre just going to say a couple of notes at the end. My name is justin. Im the owner of four point brewery, and wed love the opportunity to open a brewery in the corridor. We will create a beautifully designed Community Central run tap room and kitchen. The space will be open from 11 00 a. M. To midnight, and will remain to all ages at all times. Particular buck 2 initially invited us to take over this portion of their building to not only activate the space but to invite the public to come and see the premier application of two San Francisco manufacturers. Were honored to be offered this opportunity to activate the space along with particular buck 2. In our neighborhood outreach, we heard three primary concerns one, how are you going to make sure the space is welcoming to Mission Locals who cant afford the price of the pie in brew pubs that have popped up in neighborhoods. What are you going to ensure that youre hiring locally . In response, weve committed to all our hiring throughout sf made, all hiring will be local three. What are you going to do about drunkenness and noise. Our response. Unlike nearby bars, we are only selling beer and wine and not full liquor. This is very important. This long said with the design of the space and the fact that we are all ages at all hours will not be conducive to creating a dive bar environment, but to mitigate noise, well make sure our entrance is on the commercially active corridor instead of shotwell street. Thered be zero displacement of pdr. Project will create ten service jobs and four manufacturing jobs onsite in the mission. We pay employees above market rate, including 100 health care coverage. Id like to end on this note. Im committed to ensuring this project will be an asset to this neighborhood. We have supported over 70 nonprofits in the bay areas, several of which are in the mission, so id like to thank the commission for considering this project and hand it over for tony. Thank you. Im tony, and ive been the coo of timbuk2 for the past ten years, and as jeffs mentioned, weve been manufacturing our bags in the Commission District since our founding about 28 years ago, and without question, our single biggest competitive disadvantage is the high cost of operating a San Francisco driven primarily by the high cost of real estate, and what were proposing to do is sublease less than 15 of our space to four point who has a Business Model that can significantly support the rent that were asking. Theyre to support us in able to mitigate some of that competitive disadvantage. And second of all in this project, were going to be able to open up our building and our manufacturing facilities to the community. Right now, its fairly closed off. The location where its centered, theres no real way to have it visually visually appealing or aware of in the neighborhood. Many people walk by, dont even know we make bags there, and well be able to shift or entrance from shotwell street, which is primarily residential, to 20th street to an existing rolltop door where our facility will be much more visible. Itll be much more welcoming to the community to come in and see our bags being manufactured, so were excited about that opportunity as well. So thank you. President hillis thank you. So well open this item up for public comment. Theres organized opposition, spike, is that you . Welcome. We have three people for the organized opposition, and im going to introduce shelley who i found through the package that she had been asking for information, and until i contacted her, she had no idea it was happening today. Hi. My name is shelley. I live down the street from the project. I ive was born and raised in San Francisco, and im still here. Ive lived on shotwell street for 15 years. Ive spent since i talked to spike, ive spent a few hours only collecting signatures, so id like to submit a petition with 58 signatures against this that ive collected in just a couple hours standing outside my house. I am in addition, there are my comments that i have emailed to the commission. The so personally, the eating and drinking survey is flawed. The the survey, instead of comparing retail the eating and drinking retail frontage to all retail frontage, it compares eating and drinking frontage to all frontage in the 300foot radius, and so it includes the school, the frontage that the eating and drinking frontage is includes the fire house, and the residential. And so it really skews that 25 marker. Im very concerned about the stink of the brewery that, you know, having a brewery right next to me will cause my apartment im on the third floor. I live in a tiny studio with very little ventilation, and i theres nothing impeding the offgasing from my air in my apartment, and im very concerned about that. Theres and i also understand that that building is does have a Historic Resource status, and theres nothing in that plan that i saw that addresses the venting of the brewery or the restaurant. And obviously, that would make an exterior change on the building. Im very concerned. Right now i counted 165 seats in this restaurant, and thats an enormous restaurant from the plan that was submitted. Thats an enormous restaurant way out of scale for the neighborhood, and im very concerned about the ubers and ride shares that presently block the crosswalk, and ill turn it over. And ill follow up with that. They talk about a 20th street corridor. 20th street is the smallest little street at shot well. Theres no room for drop off of ubers. Its transit rich, but none of the patrons of Pacific Brewery company, which is a very similar type of brewery thats just down the block. Nobody takes the 12 folsom to get there, they all take ubers and lyfts. As i ride my bike home from south vanness, very easy to go down 20th street until i hit tricksaw, and all of a sudden im getting doors, theres double parking, theres lyft, theres uber. And this street has one white zone space. Theres no way theres 1,000 people if its 165 or 1 0 seats, but theyre going to be open 13 hours, so theres probably going to be 1,000 people coming onto this little residential street per day without any sort of accommodation to the people who live there. The problem that pacific felt factory which is who im representing has, cause our artists have also signed another 20 signatures on a petition against this complex, were concerned about the impact of this huge place. We tried to talk to them. This is destination. Its not serving the community unless you consider hot dogs as serving the community. We tried to talk with la cocina and sit down with justin and tried to come up with a way that a la cocnia graduate could come in there and have their brew being served. They offered a Commissary Kitchen that la cocina. Southern exposure sent you an email yesterday morning saying that also, although they were tricked into supporting this, theyre not supporting this project. Theyre standing with the mission community, and the only people that are supporting it are the people that received money from four point foundation. And the 100 people that lori and i have, and the other 100 that kevin has, these are people that oppose this large scale project. Kevin is going to keep talking about it, and if you have any questions, ive lived on this street before 1984. I remember before tim bubuk2 c, and they already destroyed that block, and now theyre saying now they cant afford it. But they bought the building. They got it for a song 20 years ago. Its not an economic situation, its a greed situation, and its more money and more rent to be made off of my block, and it needs to be scaled off and not have 1,000 people dropped off in front of my house every day. Kevin ortiz, united save the mission. Four port is the fourth largest brewery in San Francisco. This contributes to the mass cultural collapse of the Mission District its currently facing. Timbuk2 is also a very successful business. Theyve been in the neighborhood 28 years. Theyre an Enterprise Business with 25 locations nationally. They previously, like spike mentioned, evicted the previous tenants, three local businesses. They evicted their tenants and then signed a lease with four point before actually conferring with the community. So this loophole in the code, code 40, to allow group hub space to seat 150 people and serve beer and hot dogs located on a small extremely quiet corner will bring in a massive influx of cars and parking. We have two thirds of extra drivers in the city, as a report came out in the examiner earlier this year, due to ride sharing. This is only going to affect this neighborhood and this corner. Alcohol spurs monsters, and bringing alcohol into a controlled alcohol special use district devotes the purpose this was created for. The average latino makes 37 k for a family of four. This is not an affordable price point unless they go eat there once or twice a year. When it comes to small businesses, 20 of the customers drive 80 of the revenues. Its a block and a half away from the high school, and i would urge you guys to keep that mind because its going to be open from 11 00 a. M. To midnight. Its just irresponsible. Id like to read some comments from the petition that we have here from 200 people that have signed online. Our neighborhood does not need more alcohol. We need more services, Grocery Stores, butcher shops, basic res, health centers. We are an adult working community, not a disneyland. This brewer reis out of scale for the neighborhood. Please reject this brew pub. Ive lived in the mission since 1970. This will make the traffic and parking just terrible. I manufacture in sf. We are in a pdr crisis and need to keep pdr and not use it for brewerys and restaurant. Stop the alternative uses and loss of pdr space. Thank you for your time. President hillis thank you very much, and well open this item up for general public comment. I dont have speaker cards, but if youd like to lineup on the screen side of the room. Heres some more petitions, and i wanted to say that also, theres been 23 restaurant conversions so far in the mission from retail into these restaurants and bars, and theres another half a dozen in the pipeline. We put these cus the reason 2020 put cus on this type of conversion is because of the detriment to our Community Neighborhood serving businesses, and the whole point is to allow you a tool in order to listen to the community and scale down these type of things. The only thing again compared to Pacific Brewery clerk thank you. Your time is up. Okay. President hillis next speaker, please. Hello. My name is mary mendoza, and i was a teacher at john oconor high school in the past, and an educator for many years, and i wanted to speak to the fact of this brewery being so close to the high school and in terms of the ride shares . I dont know if any of you have teenagers or who have ever worked with teenagers. Theyre very in their heads and teenage worlds. So in terms of crossing the street and having to deal with the ride share cars, for the most part, where ive seen them, theyre in the crosswalks where theyre dropping people off and not necessarily taking into consideration the pedestrians who were crossing that thats super problematic. So its at a very high a very high walking area for the teenagers who dont just get out of school at a certain hour. They get out after tutoring, they get out after sports, so its a continuance of the students walking through that area. In addition, theres already a bar across the street, located dreektly across the street, i believe shot wells. Theres also a long to think brewery a little further down next to the school on the corner next to the school. Not on 20th, but i guess it must be on 19th. And then, the pacific southern Pacific Brewery, which is kind of an oddity. My first school that i taught at was potrero hill which was upsmell from anchor steam, and i dont know if youve ever gone there, but having worked there, its an extremely strong smell. Its something that the children when they go out into the yard, that they play in. Its a regular when you go to work every day, its something that you smell. So im wanting to take those safety concerns into consideration. Thank you. President hillis thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Good evening. Hi name is angelica perez. I was born and raised in the mission. Im living in the house that my grandmother bought in 1965, back when nobody wanted to live there. Now everybody wants to live there. Shot wells, schmidts, homestead, benders, southern Pacific Brewery. Its a nightmare. Alamo dress house, booty bar. I didnt bring my paperwork im going to tell you who else we have there. We have hookers who are attracted to the new money in the neighborhood. We have noise, we have vomit. We dont have respect. We have heard the people coming in from thursday through sunday. Its like a frat party coming off there. What we dont have is Grocery Stores within a reasonable distance. We dont have parking for the local people. Half a block on folsom street is taken up by the school, and the Fire Department takes up the other half of 19th street, so its really super dense. Lyft uses my front driveway as their drop off and pick up point, uber whatever, all these people, all the time. Were not a vegas strip. This is not a disneyland for adults. Yes, im the one that wrote that there. We have enough. Is this necessary . Is there no other place to go get a beer and a hot dog . Can we not bring in a grocery store, bakery, Community Services . Its ridiculous, you know in were being inundated there. Thank you very much. President hillis thank you. Im eric, latino culture district, and we are opposed to the cu for four point. In the mission, we lost a lot of blue collar jobs which are longterm and stable and actually pay better than, you know, baristas in the area. The space was used by an auto shop, welding shop and tattoo parlor, and they were evicted by timbuk2, who said they need more space, and now, they have extra space and theyre renting it out to four point. Thats not desirable or necessary in this neighborhood. Yes, this is not hard liquor, its beer and wine, but it still is liquor, and it will still get you drunk if you drink enough of it. What were seeing a lot in the mission is a lot of wine and beer spaces opening up under the restaurant code. They have to have 51 of the payroll receipts in food, and what happens is theyre not making those amounts, and its not being enforced by the planning department. We have called on that, and were not seeing that especially forced. We have four places in the Mission District that they took the tables out, and you just stand around and eat food. The other thing is were not prohibitionists, but were seeing large places, thats a saturated area thats predominantly a family neighborhood. This is an area that historically has been, you know, inundated with liquor. Theres theres a problem with this concentration of liquor in these areas, especially in low income communities. The department of Public Health is actually looking the tenderloin, the mission, and the bayview, so just so you guys are ware, that this is happening right now, and were just still continuing to inundate or neighborhoods with these problems. Thank you. President hillis thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Hello again. Im speaking here today to ask you to not approve this project. As a resident and member of the community here whove had a lot of family whove grownup specifically in that area and gone to school at John Oconnell, i can attest that area is already saturated with adult entertainment. Again, a lot of people mention them already, benders, shot wells, southern Pacific Brewery right next to John Oconnell high school, and theyre asking you to approve another brewery right across. Too often the needs of the community is being put wayside. Its the needs of a grocery, of a bakery. Sometimes we take that for granted, but me personally growing up on capp street, and only recently, grocer outlet just opened up, that is a big thing for people who do not have cars or have to take Public Transit for something as basic as getting food. By getting rid of any of the space to be a welder, be a workman, that essentially ends and cuts their careers completely, and one those spaces are gone, theyre gone forever. We will never get them back. Everything about this project is not being done in the right way. Theres a right way and a wrong way and theres a middle ground, but this one is just too much in a neighborhood that has already seen too much of the same. Thank you. President hillis thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. Thank you. Commissioners. My names daniel. Im a director with four point beer company, and im here to ask you to support this project. Im going to be the staff member whos directly responsible for overseeing this project, as well as our Community Engagement team which works directly with nonprofits and Community Organizations throughout San Francisco. And you know what really drives me with the passion is with this project is the relationships that you create at these spaces, the education you provide people for uniquely american uniquely San Francisco crafted product, you cant find this anywhere else, and im really dedicated to creating a space that is safe, thats inclusive, thats open, thats friendly, that anyone from the community can come and enjoy their time at and get to know four point and get to know what we make and what we do in the city, so once again, thank you very much for your time, and i ask you to approve this project. President hillis thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening. My name is jeff hargo. Currently, im an employee at four point, and going on two years. Just wanted to attest to the opportunities ive definitely been afor the recorded while working for four point as well as all my coworkers. Ive been able to train on a lot of things i didnt think i would work with and take skills that id be definitely able to take elsewhere. And weve lost to some employees being trained and being able to take that on with them to better opportunities. I think this project will definitely help a San Francisco manufacturer that can bring more jobs in an industry that i think sometimes is closing in this city which is a little nerveracking. Having grownup in a neighborhood just adjacent to the neighborhood, over in glen park, ive seen a lot of neighborhoods change, and a lot of industries kind of shutdown, and being a carpenters son, kind of nerveracking, wanting to pursue that same area, working with my hands. This is definitely an opportunity for more jobs of that nature. Thank you again for your time. President hillis thank you. Ne
