Both the pg e charge Delivery Charge went up, Power Generation charge went up, and the pca went down. That is correct. Why did our generation charge go up . Our generation charge is based off of we look at pg es rate. If you go back to our rate setting methodology, on page 5 of the presentation. Nothing has changed in our methodology. If you remember, we are starting off on component one from pg e is a generation rate. We are applying our Percentage Rate discounts. And then applying the pci a charges on the franchise fee surcharge to get to our cleanpowersf generation rate. The new components that you all included in the ratesetting methodology, that allowed us to remain competitive, knowing that our rates are determined off the final pg e rate. And now what we know today. Pg e customers and cleanpowersf customers are both going up approximately 4 . We will still be a little cheaper . Correct. At the end of the day our customers have a bill savings compared to pg any customers of 2. 5 on residential, and then 1. 75 approximately four commercial customers. 5 cost savings for residential customers, comparing generation to generation. When youre looking at the all in bill, our customers are saving 2. 5 in comparison to pg e customers. We are not approving those rates right now . You all have a confirming resolution in front of you that says this is what we know today based on these final rates. We are delegating the general manager to implement all of these adjustment so that they same construct of it ratesetting is consistent with that december 2018 action. Confirmed the methodology basically . Correct. If this methodology doesnt apply to the green does it . The super green premium i probably lost over that glossed over that. The super green premiums for residential decreased by 1. 5 cents per kilowatt hour and then the super green premium for commercial customers. 75 cents to remain competitive. There is movement for the super green premium. Again, consistent with the methodology that was put before you in december 2018. Will they be saying approximate 4 increase as well . Probably proportional, right . I believe, yes, i am so eager to get more people enrolled in super green program. I feel like any movement is too much, if we can keep that price laura get people signed up. The rate action as a whole is intended to maintain competitiveness with pg e across our product offerings. That is why, we are also reducing a couple of the super green premiums. Just keep in mind that that is a premium, it is on top of the green rate. Changes to the green rate affect super green costs. But, the action as a whole is intended to maintain competitiveness for clean power customers across all of our Product Types area types of. Thank you. Any other questions commissioners . A motion to approve the rates . Moved. Second . All of those in favor. Motion carries. Thank you very much for your presentation. [reading items] good afternoon commissioners, michael hines, dir. Of clean power staff. I forgot to introduce myself earlier. You have before you a resolution to approve a cleanpowersf contract with the Southern CaliforniaEdison Company for Renewable Energy to be delivered in 2020 and 2021. The term of the contract is two years with a total cost of approximately 15. 8 million. This Renewable Energy contract will help us serve the Significant Growth and customer demand resulting from our cleanpowersf enrollment efforts over the past year. The contract requires the seller to deliver 600,000 mwh of Renewable Energy in 2020 and 300,000 mwh Renewable Energy in 2021. With this contract traveler staff accepts it will be able to meet his green target of 50 Renewable Energy content in 2020 consistent with the goals established by the commission. The negotiated contract meets all other applicable decisions for Renewable Energy contracts from cleanpowersf. The contract exceeds 10 million in total costs. The action before you authorizes the general manager to seek approval from the board of supervisors. We, staff, recommend you adopt the resolution. I am happy to take any questions you might have about it. Commissioners . Any Public Comment on this item . Motion carries. Next item please. Would you like for me to read the closed item sessions prior to public . Yes, please. [reading items] any Public Comment on matters to be discussed in closed session . Im hearing none. Is there motion to assert Attorney Client privilege . Moved to assert. Any Public Comment on that motion . All we are now back in open session. [reading items] there is no announcement you have to make. What about item 17 . No. You are not required to, but you can. You are recommending to the board of supervisors item number 17 be settled. Next item, please. Is there a motion to disclose the discussions during closed section session . Motion carries. Any other new business . I do have one announcement, as a reminder the july 9 meeting has been canceled for the regular meeting on july 9. The next the next regular meeting will take pl. July 23. Any other new business . The meeting is adjourned. Here we are responsible to oversee the Drinking Water distribution system. In San Francisco changes in the fire code required anyone doing representtro fit to the home to get a new fire service this caused the need for new Water Services to spike. We used to do 200 a year. Now we are up to 600. If you are building a new house you need fire protection. You have to make application to the Water Department for that. If you go through the process we come out and install the new line and the new fire line. The project got kicked off by two of our a gms, steve and eric. They recognized the need for improving this process. They pulled together the project and selected the team members and asked me to lead the effort. On c cd there is permit and no parking signs and installing the service, having water caught at the check off and pave. It is a lengthy application process with manual tracking. For construction because we communicate with ccd we have to stay in touch with ccd to inform the customer for updates. At one time there was three separate visits to activate the fire service. Water quality and gate manment and then gate man would go back. Now the gate man goes onetime, one visit and it is done. We dissected the process and looked for ways to streamline the process and use technology to make the experience smoother and what we are building is an online portal for customers to apply without coming downtown and they can get updates. With the online application everything is there. It is built in condition logic with tracking to communicate with the customer without having to take notes. We want to tell you these are 10 steps and you are on step three or four. We streamlined the process. We knocked it down to 65 days. The goal is half of that. From the time you make application to put the check on the table to the time we pave the street, we want it down to 30days. I am proud of the team for the work to get together to understand each others work and come up with solutions. I really wanted the rest of the team to understand the time and deliberation and thought so they could get the recognition that they deserve. Good afternoon and welcome to the land use and transportation to the board of supervisors for today, monday, june 29. Im the chair of the committee and joined to my left by matt h asian hainey. Were about to be joined by our vice chair. The only other item has been requested by supervisor mamdelman. Miss major, could you please make announcements in.

Where inin having to do with vat parking, supervisor brown graciously agreed to continue to this todays meeting. Ill turn it over to supervisor brown. Thank you, chair and supervisors. This legislation, it really addresses a city of neighborhoods and were a city of neighborhood and Small Businesses that are really the heart of our neighborhoods. When i speak to merchants about business vacancies, they talk all the time about the extension of city regulations. They talk about how hard city regulations make it to open a business, adapt their business to changing times. The changes proposed in this legislation will remove unnecessary regulations and reduce costs and delays. Tout these are common fixes developed in collaboration with Small Businesses and fixes that include supportive wide music venues with contradictory regulations, making it easier for retailers to bring in limited, Live Entertainment to enrich customer experiences, allowing for more openair dining and creating opportunities for more togo food services. So that one neighborhoods restrictions dont impact another neighborhood business. We need to free up Small Businesses to direct more of their energy and resources to meeting the larger challenges facing them today. Challenges like online retail, rents, labour, and just one capital, theres a great neighborhood serving coffee shot at kohl and karl in my district. And this coffee shop, actually, would love to stay open in the evening to host comedy shows and to make that possible, he plans to get a permit to add beer and wine. When he went to planning, he was told he couldnt do it on restrictions on hate street block the way. The same wont be true for businesses like his on hay streehatestreet across the hand. Neighbours and valleys dont want the restrictions. It should be about the integrity of their neighborhoods and they wrote support letters to be able to have comedy until 9 00 or 10 00 at night. Small Business People will find new Revenue Streams and will vacancies but they need our support. Our planning code ought not to be written to ensure it ought to be written to ensure were acknowledging the integrity of our nake neighborhoods and comml clusters. The city needs to do its part and clear the path as much as possible but continuously revising and revisiting our codes to keep up with the times. Thats why this legislation does legislation does and thats why its received the nam use unanis support of the San Francisco chamber of commerce. My office as worked with supervisors peskins office to amend a significant amount of amendments including removing any proposed changes to activity areas, revising buffers around limited commercial use, narrowing the proposed approach to bonnified eating places for eating venues, clarifying use of wine makers with bar use and general entertainment zoning and several commercial districts. My hope is that these amendments, this legislation will win this committees support and move forward today to the full board. Lets make sure that San Francisco is a city where Small Businesses continue to evolve and thrive and today, we have from oewd, bin vanhorton that is here to talk about the legislation and detail. Ben, can you please give us information . Sure. P. Thank you, supervisor brown and good afternoon. Im here tuke about the Small Business streamlining legislation. Little bit of background how this legislation was developed. In february of 2018, they stated a Retail Sector and among the key findings from that study is that right tailer retailers aret hosting event and entertainment and that land use regulations and permitting requirements can add significant costs and time and also limit neglect to adapt to changing economic conditions. Those were the studys findings but they were working oneonone across the city in navigating the permitting process and additionally, findings are supported by the bla report that was requested by supervisor mandleman, that the time line can be nine months for a business to open without a conventional business use and those are averages. 1 month some are significantly. When were talking about the storefront vacancy issue, were talking about getting tenants to fit storefronts and cutting down the length of time to open and saving businesses time is one of the most impactful ways to save them money. Pot so the goals here is twofold, help new businesses to save money and strengthening businesses as well. This is a set of legislation that really was informed by oneonone business experience. And there are 10 to 12 different components to this legislation to touch on, health code, planning code, police code, as well. Generally, weve organized them into four big buckets, which ill talk about in succession. Put happy to further talk about the amendments and i think it would be helpful to talk about them in the context of each of the specific proposals. But just to highlight that we are removing any proposed changes to Outdoor Activity area. Although, i know theres still interest in finding solutions to help Small Business owners reduce Business Time and navigating concerns folks have around Outdoor Activity areas. The first set of reformed in this legislation, enabling existing Retail Businesses to diversify their offerings to vacant storefronts. A couple of pieces of legislation tackle that goal. First off, we want to reduce barrier for Retail Businesses that want to offer some togo food service. One of the barriers they have encountered is that the local health code is more strict than the state health code with respect to band access and theres a drycleaner downtown to serve coffee to bring if revenue in addition to the drycleaning. They were unable to do so because it was not workable to provide bath access. Theres a caterer on sixth street to offer takeout sandwiches. This proposal would reconcile local health code and the state requirements in order to support, again, limited togo food, offering for Retail Businesses. Secondly, this legislation would help Retail Businesses incorporate entertainment and events. So presently, in order to get a limited Live Performance permit from the sanfrancisco entertainment commission, there was a requirement thats an accessory style permit, so entertainment up to 10 00 p. M. , limited performance space. Its designed for businesses that are doing Something Else but that want to add entertainment. Presently, the code says that those businesses have to provide food or beverage in order to get this permit and provide entertainment. Weve seen increased interests from retail stores, clothing stores, record cloths, that want access to this permit to do permitted entertainment and get into that process. So this is a reform that would assist them there. Second big bucket is increasing opportunities for retail, restaurant and lifetime businesses to fill vacant storefront and enhance vibrancy. One of the areas were looking at is the area of buffers and the issue of buffers. So presently, under the code, nc1 districts, which are neighborhood commercial cluster district and small are small microdistricts like the stretch of church and those districts are required under the zoning to not only look at nc1 stoning but look at the most restrict within a quarter mile and also any restricted use district within a quarter mile. So they look at the two Different Levels of buffers, picking the most restricted controls or otherwise nc1 zoning applies. Thats the same for commercial uses which are Corner Stores and residential neighborhoods. These are longstanding uses in our residential nakeds. I should note that nc1 zoning itself is the most conservative of the nonnamed neighborhood commercial districts. Hours of operation going until 11 00 p. M. Entertainment is permitted with conditional use for neighborhoods serving Small Businesses in nc1. We found buffers like the coffee shop in coal valley but couldnt. An entrepreneur wanted to open a wine shop with Wine Tastings on wine street near controls that were more permissive but was caught up in a quarter mile of the mission alcohol strict. Odistrict. Theres a neighborhoot that wants to strengthen its business with a beerwine license but its caught between permissive controls close to them but restricted controls farther away but still within the quarter mile. Its those challenges that are created by these buffers. Again, the buffers apply to nc1 zoning or limited commercial uses. So theres a lot of other parcels in the area that the buffers dont apply to at all. They create, unintended consequences that challenge our Small Businesses. This is not just something we learned from oneonone business experience but confirmed by the Planning Department about a decade ago in their nc at 20 report. They found that under the code provisions, these districts are subject to a much greater level of scrutiny and they noticed inconvict treatment and challenges that these districts face and they suggested relaxing, especially where there are multiple distinct layers of buffers. The value is questionable. Couple other areas under the idea of increasing opportunities to fill storefronts and enhance vibrancy. We want to align state and local health code with respect to openair food service. So under the state health code, a kitchen needs to be fully enclosed by shut windows or screens at all time. But under the local code, dining area, all of the dining areas inside of a business must be fully enclosed. The challenge that has faced in the inspection cases is a Manufacturing Business with a coffee cart and needed to keep the rollup door open to facilitate delivers. They couldnt have that coffee cart and rollup door which is to diversify and bring in new revenue. A number of restaurants have wanted to keep door and windows open, adding to the inviting atmosphere. This proposal would align local health code with state health code in this respect. Second bullet on this page, increasing opportunities for arcade uses in retail and night life businesses. We see an increased interest in arcades as part of a retail business. Theres a great arcade and screen prohibitin printing busid brings in foot traffic. That required required legislation. In the 1980s, there was a settle amount of concern around arcade uses and i dont think that concern has been borne out over time and entrepreneurs are looking at creating familyfriendly arcades who said i just want to create just a familyfriend arcade space in a vacant storefront and when we showed them when Amusement Games are allowed, its been a challenge for them to find spaces to fill. This would increase opportunities by consolidating amusement game arcades into the use category which is a use category in all of the neighbor and commercial districts. In terms of strengthening the existing live music venues by reducing duplicative, undergraduate for a ventur a vet a ticket, its to get inspection from all of the fire and health. Even if it completes those inspection for a permit process. So if i got the fine signoffs, when i go in for my payoff, i have to pay for another set from the billion department. Even if i have a health permit, i have to go back and get health to, to do the inspection and theres fees and time associated. Our proposal is that if a business has received final inspections from permitting departments during the process or currently holds a health or fire permit, sheet not have to receive that duplicate signoff. The second reform to support all ages and entertainment byaligning with entertainment venues. So under state liquor law, if you want to allow patrons of all ages, you need a Restaurant License and you have to have at the local level local and entertainment use. To be a restaurant, you have to be a bonified eating place which includes, in part, a business draws 51 of the froes receipts from food sale and be open a minimum of five days a week. Neither of those are likely to be achievable for a significant number of True Entertainment venues creating great performance opportunities for San Francisco. The proposal here is to exempt a narrow set of with that restaurant duality from an existing state law for nonprofit theatres and this looks at only allows Alcohol Service before, during and after the theatre performance. And that seems like a reasonable approach at the local level, as well. Its before, during and after, so thats the only time well be serving alcohol. Then you should not yourely an entertainment venue and you have to meet all of the other requirements, that idea of 51 , you dont have to meet. The fourth category here is clarifying ambiguous planning code for consistency to the planning process. This is technical and clarifying stuff but weve had a number of businesses due to ambiguities in the code and approach the counterwith contradictory advice to seek a electricity of termination. For some of the state Liquor License types, brewery or a winery, even though those licenses can be used with a restaurant or a bar, its not clear to, on the face of the code, that license could be used in either case, so we want clarities a brewery could be a bar or restaurant, depending on does it meet restaurant requirements or not. On the accessory use provision, we want to, depend, support Retail Businesses by clarifying that accessory food use is permitted in most zoning stricts and most of the neighborhood districts by restating existing lot. And that, i believe, is the conclusion of my presentation. Happy to answer my question. Thank you, mr. Howt new york city anon. And the last sidr questions. Any questions you would like to ask . I would like to ask about the buffer zone and whats included in it and what the consequences are. You shared with me a map. I dont know if you have that map available. Its in the petition. It is, ok. Yours is right here. Ok. Theres a map that should have been in the slide deck but its in the overhead. Could you help us understand on to map you pointed to the purple areas there. Theyre probably hard to see. Theyre scattered a bit. Are those would those be the only areas that are impacted by this as currently written . I mean, theres the buffer zones but then theres certain types of districts within the buffer zone that are impacted. Could you clarify that . There are two different types of districts that we are contemplating addressing here. Now the first is the nc1s, represented in purple. These are the neighborhood commercial clusters. Intended for neighborhood serving commercial uses. And then so this buffer map displays the nc1s. The same set of buffers apply to limited commercial uses in limited commercial districts. I have a map of though, as well. But we are proposing treating those buffers differently. I realize i didnt get into it in my presentation. But the idea is that neighborhood commercial, nc1, those are neighbor serving parcels. So with those, we want to be able to revise that buffer so to move from a quarter mile if the nearest cnd down to 300 feet. And then to remove the buffer around restricted use districts entirely. For the limited commercial uses, we want to preserve a quarter mile of the nearest named ncd but we want the nearest one to alleviate the concern. Where theres a business right now and its closer to more permissive controls and farther away to restrictive controls. It seems like the nearest one is the most contextual. Still, with the limited commercial uses, we are proposinproposing eliminating te buffers for eliminated restricted use districts. I got that part and then this piece around the more permissive one would be the one that applies if youre within multiple buffers . Is that it some. Just for limited commercial uses just the closest one. Just look at the closest one. Now for nc1 itself, were saying 300 feet, the buffer is 300 feet but these are truly commercial parcels, intended for neighborhood serving vibrancy. Are single usin use districtd i believe there are ten. Having seen a few, different ones restrict different use and i think a half a dozen are alcoholrestricted and my predecessor passed parted of loweparts of popestreet and thet are completely different. North beach has a Financial Services this is small restricted use because and this is back, i think, from the 80s. They didnt want, basically, greened Ground Floor Office space and they didnt want it in the neighborhood, whether it is was retail or entertainment. So im trying to understand were solving for nc1s. Am i correct thats were solving for . Im not sure i follow. What youre saying, if theres an nc1, for instance, of the north beach Financial Services use district, that they would in that nc1 cluster, they would not have groundfloor Financial Service or office . They would newly permitted to do so. If they were in the restricted use district, were going to eliminate that around the restricted use. That nc1 parcel could be a financial use of the ground floor . Well, it would depend on where precisely. You would apply the restrictio restrictions. Actually, if the case of the north beach ncd, there are not any nc1 clusters anywhere within a quarter mile anyway. And do we know how many individual i mean, the nc one dots on this map are literally a handful of dots and how many i mean, i appreciate your antic antidotal stories but how many individual parcels and what data do we have relative to how this is restricting and what they want and whether or not thats consistent with what neighborhoods and folks in that ararc chipelago city . I, too, think we attracted businesses turned away as they should. I think in terms of the buffers i would be happy to follow up on the number of parcels. How many parcels with ground floor retail are there. Happy to look into that and get back to you. Supervisor, i dont know if you have any questions from mr. Vanhouten. I do. Supervisor, brown, did you want to go first in. No, go ahead. Thank you for the presentation. Can you put that map back up. I think that seems to be one of the big points of contention. Do you know the background in terms of when the buffer stones arounzonesaround the restrictede create and what the thinking was behind that . I dont. As recent as ten years ago, the Planning Department was identifying that buffers were causing, creating josephly restrictive and odd outcomes and recommending, again, ten years ago the whole idea of the buffers be revisit. Did they have an issue with the restricted areas or just about the buffers . Well, i think it was the buffers that are created by both the neighborhood commercial districts and by the revicted use districts. The restricted use districts, a number of the controls in the districts makes sense within the context of those districts. The idea of relocating from one use to another. An idea that i could be within a quarter of a mile within a restricted use district but effect tbutstill i would be res. These limited to the conversation about alcohol or is it a whole bunch of different restrictions . Did i miss that . That was one of the questions i asked. I think there are ten restricted use districts in the city, since of which are alcohol restricted use districts. The other four are different. I happen to have one thats been around in north beach since the creation of time. I think it was 1984 or 85. That was long before my first time on the board, my friend, which was for actually preventing groundfloor financial and office. Right, ok. Theres another one on chestnut thats a Financial Services one and on gerry, thats a formula Retail Pet Store restricted use. I would like what your argument is. I heard what supervisor brown said but i would like to hear what you have to say. To me, when i look at the map, i see that lets look at the mission. It looks like two. Theres one restricted area and another and i can understand why that might because they have a district where far away from the commercial corridors, you have Corner Retail transitioning into restaurants or other things and they want control over that for this larger conversation. That makes sense to me, but some of the other ones, just would have a buffer zone that far away from your commercial quarter, it doesnt make sense to me. It seems to have outlived its purpose. North beach chinatown where youve laid the groundwork and these are years in the making. That makes sense. To me, one seems Strong Enough without the other. Does that make sense . I think look, lets go back to the zoning put in place in the mid1980s by the Planning Department in conjunction with that archipelogo of neighborhoods. I think the fundamental underpinning of that creak creas that different neighborhoods had different needs and challenges. So thats why in some neighborhoods, you can locate a gas station and in some neighborhoods, you can have Adult Entertainment and in others, you cant. That was the way the entire thing was structured. They are petitioned supervisors, whether citywide elected or district elected to tweak those things. So things that were prohibited became permitted and its always happened in each and every neighborhood. After supervisor gonzalez came up with the idea of formula retail which was a hot deal all through the 90s where the only thing the north Beach Chamber of commerce that they didnt want thin store chain stored ane want them banned. So it was probably thessest thet piece of legislation and my colleague from district ten, no, were this a food district and we would like them and there they are as of right. So all of these things were done with different intention, some of which i am happy to say became antiquated. The world changed, as is the case with arcade legislation. You look at that now and its absurd. I sat on this board when mark reno revealed huge pieces of police code nobody knew existed from the 1800s that were patented idiotic then and the now. So to answer supervisor safyes question, i went and read the sections at 249. 6, that our former president put in and they wanted the quarter mile buffer. They did that with great intent. So had the quarter mile buffer legislation not been there, they could have drawn alcoholrestricted use district bigger. So the question to me is, ok, what do the constituents on third street who have had this for four years and supervisor brown checked in with me, and what do they want and what makes sense . I think the findings they made about public drunkenness, tea facement, damaging of structures, serious impacts on the health, safety and residents of multi family homes, these werent findings made in the 1800s. They were made years ago. Theres a ton to sou supervisor brown is that its overdue and i salute. Theres parts a, and i am sorry to the public who continued last week and i know we want to hear from and then ill wrap up this part. I think its not a onesize onesizefitsall solution. When supervisor brown who knows her constituents, neighborhood and business organizations better than i do says, hey, for the two ruds in my district, we dont want the buffer, it makes perfect sense. I have heard, actually, in the Northeast Corner of the city, there are folks in the gold chaichariot who went to supervir chu and wanted that alcoholrestricted district. They knew what the buffer was and i had not consulted with them. I had heard from people in the north beach who are of different minds, much of which i am 100 down with. The north Beach Business Association not so much. So at any rate, it is what it is, but we can deliberate more. Supervisor brown, i will turn it back over to you and i know we want to hear from the public. So you know, when were looking at this, because it is kind of confusing for people and when i talk to people about it, theyre confused. And when you look at the mission or bayview that did the restricted use. So they actually worked with the community, right, to decide where the restricted use boundaries would be. Thatsmy understanding. So for some of this, like my particular interest on hate street and then you have cole valley and you have neighborhoods which feel they are separate even though theyre blocks away, that wouldnt it be better to go out and say, lets do the restricted use, but then go out and draw the map for it, right, for these neighbors, nei, instead of trying to use the closest one . I mean, shouldnt we be doing that to go out to the neighborhoods to do this and not have these buffers . Part of the problem with the buffers is they, again, dont apply equally to all parcels in the buffer area. They apply to nc1 and limited commercial uses. So with a number of the buffers you see now, there are a good number of parcels loc located in those buffers. So thats i think thats one of the loans why restricted use borders matter because they establish those controls. In the buffers, unless its an nc1 or limited commercial use, again, those restrictions simply dont apply. For me, i want to restrict hate streets restricted use and what they want on that particular commercial corridor. I want to respect that and theres a few businesses, a side street, right, that 300 feet or whatever that should be within that. I want to make sure that the businesses across the panhandle have some chooses or are able to maneuver when they have to have business tol deal and say, hey,i think this will have better business. Or coacole, valley, volley vallo restricted where these businesses dont work. The quarter of a mile can be a different world away, as we know. So im just asking, you know, do you feel that we should be out going to the neighborhood corridorses and talking about those restrictions and actually be much more defined than having the buffer zones . Yes, i think that to the extent that we want to apply restricted use controls, restricted use district controls to a border area or whatever the controls that matter, that should be done with intentionality and by clearly delineating borders as opposed to relying on the hope when you look at the map, it says nc1 around the area and then, ok, were good. Thank you. Thank you. Supervisor hainey . And let me say, i agree with supervisor brown, if we have the whole notion of buffers are antiquated, lets go to our communities and just say we wont have buffers and those people who want to shrink restricted use can shrink them and those who want to include them can include them. When i talk to supervisor walton, he was like, i would like to talk to my people. I was, like, ok, we should give you that opportunity. I wanted to pick up on this point which i hadnt realized that supervisor p sessioeskin me about some of these are not about alcohol. For these districts, how would this apply . It sounds like those arent nc1s within the north beach district but are there examples we wouldnt be talking about alcohol here. We would talking about other types of uses like the Financial Services thing was something i did not know . Thats a good question. I dont think i mean, i dont foresee that as a likely outcome, but i would be happy to dig into that a little bit more. It looks like chestnut, it doesnt have those within a quarter mile and one around gerr gerry that had to do with pet stores. I remember pet food express had to send it to San Francisco and all of the mom and pop pet stores, many in supervisor marrs district were getting killed. So he, basically i mean, not unlike what were doing for the punch line in the mezzanine. He came up with a piece of legislation so those who work and return more money to the city than to Corporate Headquarters somewhere else and that was the impetus behind that legislation. This is how these commercial districts should work, which is we tweak them. Tomorrow ill introduce legislation to tweak the neighborhood and im not pretending we dont have a vacancy problem. We do. It came from a desire by residents and businesses to maintain a diversity of Business Time in an environment where bars and restaurants and entertainment were getting rid of Hardware Store and back when we had them Stationery Stores and ravioli factors bu factoriee world has changed. Im an old person and i like to meet the people i shop from, but im going the way of the dodo bird. Im tweaking the north beach neighborhood commercial district and that will attract people to some of the vacant spaces but that may be what im proposing there, it may be the wrong answer for hate or coval. E. I want to thank members of the public for their patience last week. If you will call these cards in the order i receive them. If you lear line up, thank you. Thank you. I live in hayes valley, so restrictions where we were the first one to do the chain store are near and dear to my heart. When you are in this city, having the sensitivity to really reflect how quickly neighborhoods can change and how the scope of concentric circles work. The example that was given about where does hate street end and cole valley begin. They require a great deal of sensitivity. So while we all want to protect the individual character that formed all of these districts and put in these restrictions, we want flexibility. We want vibrant commercial districts. So the assessments that were made
