This weak, the committee considered supervisor safye to allow overnight camping at 2340 san jose avenue. The Committee Recommended approval with recommendation. The modification was to alter so it may be used on other sites. Public comment was in support and many speakers express add desire to see this citywide. The Committee Recommends this as a Committee Report to be heard at the full board of supervisors this week. The other item on the agenda which would authorize interim activities by the mayor was continued to the call of the chair. At the full board this week, supervisor sorry, a Planning Commission sponsored ordinance that would allow im sorry, the herst building passed the second read and chinatown use district passed a second read and overnight camping in vehicles passed the first read. On the introductions this week, supervisors haineys ordinance to allow the linkage fee was reintroduced. In the new version, the fee increased from 19. 96 to 69. 69 for office space and 16. 36 for laboratories to 6. 43. The original ordinance only had the increase of 38 for office space and did not change any other fees. This ordinance will be brought to you next week. Its packet is in your packet this week. That concludes my report. If there are no questions, commissioners, i have the reporm the board of appeals. They considered three items that may be of interest to the Planning Commission. All three were disapprovals of Building Permit applications under discretionary reviews. The board of appeals considers the item de novo, which means they hear the case anew and not referring to findings o finding, 6camino delmar. This was a discretionary review and cited private agreement between requester and applicant. This was for a review in 201 ultimately withdrawn based on changes to the permit by the permit applicant. They included removal of a proposed deck similar to that proposed under the current permit. The board found this to be problematic continuing this to november 23rd, to allow the parties additional time to resolve their dispute. This subject seeks to configure the layout on three existing dwelling units which would extend into the rear yard requiring a variance. The Planning Commission header as a disagenciary review on february 20 2019 and voted to d. The thirdfloor dwelling unit would not be affordable. They denied the request for the rear yard variance, while the appellant, the permit holder, appealed the permit. They did not appeal the variance. At the hearing, they requested a proposed thirdfloor addition such that the project is code compliant and included an adu in the nonconfirming ground floor space and found these changes resulted in a project compatible with the carna character and thd continued the item to october 23rd, to allow the apentant to work with staff to finalize the project. This subject permit seeks to vertical addition to an existing building containing two dwelling units. The Planning Commission heard this as a public initiated review and denied this that the project had been used as a means of dislodging existed tenants under rent control. They noted it did not add dwelling units. The board cited the fact that the permit before them did not maximize appropriate density on the lot. And if there are no questions, commissionerrerings, we can move commissioners, we can move on to general comment. Members may address the commission, jurisdiction of the commission, except agenda items. Your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when this is reached in the meeting. Each public may address up to three minutes and those wishing to submit public testimony could line up on the there are screens on both sides of the rooms here, to my left, thank you. Its like being in england, you know, with the overhead here. Dont know what do or how to drive. Good afternoon. I sent you an email last night, two minutes. Thank you, four. With a fourpage pdf and i dont know if you got it but i think you did. In this is for you today and if i could have the overhead, please. I watched the hearing on the 29th of august and i was fascinated by that back and forth by what a demolition and whats not. I realized it was, like, the light bulb went off, all of the things youre dealing with with the demolition issue have to do with after the fact. When things are demolish and gone and how do you prevent demolitions and what do you want . What is the policy . And if you look at this overhead thing, this is the numerical criteria for the rh1, since its been in place. Theres only officially three years printed, 2014, 2015, 2017 and was raised in july. I found other numbers on the internet. It was high, went down and shot up. My contention is that as this has gone up, the demo calcs, which are a part of the section 317 and your responsibility to adjust, for policy efficacy to preserve housing have stayed flat and have not changed. And i think that its something you can do. It says its not legislative. I think it should have been on four timed. I wrote a letter in june asking about that and asked you to ask the city torn. Attorney. Its proactive and solves the issue of the confusion over 103 in the Building Code or 106. If you look at that email i sent you last night, 103 relates to demos without a permit. It doesnt have to do anything with demos, per say. Ive given you copies of this little chart i made and shows this socalled Pacific Heights exemption should be removed from the planning code because the prices have just swept up and people sometimes adjust their appraisals to meet that and demolish a house and get administrative approval. I hope you look at this and think about the demo cals and adjusting them. Thank you very much. Have a good day. Thank you. Anyone else for Public Comment . inaudible . This is general Public Comment for items that do not appear on the agenda, thats right, no speaker cards. Im with the united Public Workers for action. I think we have an example from San Francisco of the ongoing chaos in the city and county of San Francisco. People in San Francisco are aware this Planning Commissioner, along with the board of supervisors approve the warriors stadium without proper transit Facilities Partnership we have a further situation with further gri gridlock and this io serve the people who go to warriors games. This is reactionary and corruption. Who does this Planning Commission represent . Arent you supposed to be in charge of looking at how development will affect transportation . Isnt that one of your responsibilities as commissioners . Apparently not. So youre approving planning projects in San Francisco, all over the city, regardless of no transportation. You think its irresponsible and i think you really, along with the mayor who appointed you are responsible for this gridlock, in this chaos. Youre violating your authority, violating your responsibility. You should not be Planning Development projects without proper transit in San Francisco. Youre encouraging further gridlock in San Francisco and in case of the warriors, hurting the workingclass minority in west you know, in bay point, hunters point. Think that the people of San Francisco have to look carefully because this really is corruption of the developers. The easy hand effort developers means we dont have a Planning Commissioner. We have shells who call themselves a Planning Commission but basically, it has to be the developers. They approve regardless of the cost of the people of sanfranciscsanfrancisco. I think that the Planning Commission and mayor be held accountable for allowing Development Without transit which is a requirement in the law. Its a requirement in the law that you have to have proper transit before you approve development. Youre ignoring that. Youre ignoring that. I think we have to look carefully at what youre doing. Theres a Development Issue which will be coming up later today about 1500 condos, milliondollar condos on ocean avenue without serious planning for transit and youre ready to approve that. The city of San Francisco has spent millions of dollars without proper planning for transit. I think, again, it shows the culpability and who you really represent. Thank you. Anyone else for Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. That places us under the regular calendar case 2017440, 2222 broadway. Good afternoon, im sharon young, Planning Department staff. The item before you was for authorization at 222 broadway to increase the enrollment cap for an existing schools of the sacred heart, broadway campus with a student enrollment increase ranging from 850 to 1,050 student and an increase in the number of faculty and staff from 200 to 205. The proposal will involve modifying the conditions of a prior use authorization on 99. 217c, motion number 160le 2 an16082with a current age of stt enrollment. No construction is proposed as part of the project, no physical alterations through existing School Communities and sites are proposed. The proposed project will include implementation of a Transportation Management plan, a categorical exemption for this proposed project. As far as issues and considerations, the correspondents from several neighbors were, the panorama Condominium Owners Association at 2190 broadway, the Homeowners Association at 228 broadway and Pacific Heights association requesting Additional Information requesting concerns for opposition to the project. The project sponsor submitted doesnt support the project. The project was originally scheduled for the january 24th g Commission Hearing but was further requested to allow the project sponsors, neighborhood groups and parties for continued neighborhood discussions. In the response to the neighborhood concerns for project sponsor, they amended the conditional use application to legalize the operation within the current range of student enrollment by facing student enrollment over multiple school years and an agreement with Residents Association. They support action by planning staff and the Planning Commission to include the main provisions of the agreement and to the initial use authorization approval of the project. This concludes any presentation. Good afternoon. Thank you for your time. As you heard, were requesting an enrollment increase from 850 to 1,050 students and proposing a stepped enrollment to grow into those additional students. The broadway campus where the enrollment would be implemented has three schools. Theres no construction proposed as part of the project. The school has a good footprint to support additional students. And although we received a cu for a physical expansion in 2001, there hasnt been an enrollment increase since the 850 students were granted in 1984. And youll here in a few minutes from the president of schools, anabout how it would allow the school to better serve the community, including scholarship students and youll hear from head of physical plan about traffic measures taken recently. Were really excited to report that weve entered into an agreement with the Pacific Heights Resident Association to support the project. Its been a long path which has been great for the school to increase its communication and work with the community. You did hear that there was opposition to the project. Yoi think that is old opposition that was before we had many, Many Community meetings since then. If i could have the overhead. So you can see the numbers. One of thenings wer of the thie requesting we have increased 1,000 student and have an informational hearing so the neighbors can be heard and there can be a public forum before we reached the last 50 students. If thats not granted, woe decrease or request and its important the Community Feels comfortable but rather than go through a full hearing and evaluate the 50 students, it would be best to have an additional hearing. In addition to the work with. Hraphra. Thanks for eurotunnel thanks to thyour time and youllhear froml staff now. Thank you. Good afternoon. Its been my pleasure to serve as the president of the school since the 20122013 school year. Schools of the sacred heart have played a vital role in the education of San Francisco since 1887 and we hope to be a positive force for good in the city and as a school and a source of service to the community. In my first year as president , i identified in enrollment in the cu conditions as one of the most Critical Issues for the school to focus on as we formed a Strategic Vision end plan. I was to alleviate the financial pressures facing the school that have been the primary source of historic overenrollment. The school afired to add enrollment opportunities in the high school levels. At the middle level, there are many applicants for limited openings. A Space Utilization study showed our Physical Plant had significant unused capacity. The school could grow its enrollment without growing its physical footprint. Once we identified there was room to grow, we analyzed our staffing needs and found that a student increase could be accomplished with minimal added faculty and staff. On april 7, 2018, in an effort to address the strategy and remedy the overall enrollment, the school applied for a 30yearold cup and applied for the increase of 200 students. It was critical that there was a low associated cost impact, since the hope was to provide increased admission opportunities and continuing to distribute significant Financial Aid to families. Providing excellent Education Opportunities to a Diverse School body reflective of the socioeconomic range of San Francisco is at the core of the sacred heart admission. The school is committed up to distributing 25 of the gross tuition at the high schools and 15 to 20 at the elementary in financiaFinancial Aid. We see this as a reflection of the founding principles. The School Awards over 8. 5 million annually in Financial Aid to serve 33 of our students, making us one of the most socioeconomically Inclusive Schools in San Francisco. The additional approval will help us to continue this addition. The school has worked through the process with the neighborhood developing a trusted relationship we hope will last a long time. It has been a rewarding experience to be at the table with the community and we have learned a lot. If you we look forward to continuing our work with our neighbors. Since the traffic impact has been central to these efforts to bring this application forward and is a critical factor to the safety of our students as well as important to our neighbors, youll hear from the director of our Physical Plant to share some highlights of our work to mitigate the traffic impact. The projects presentation has concluded, but the commissioners may invite you back up with questions later. If theres any member of the public who wishes to submit testimony, they can line up on the left side of the room or my left. Im a member of my schools hearttoheart programme. We host the peerto peer and Summer Reading programme. These programmes, our studen sts have an opportunity to serve as the western addition. They are prince hall, magic zone and booking t. Washington. I feel my position is to guide students to follow as globally conscious citizens. I thought it was important to have a role to exit to a larger community. This is exactly what i have found in the hearttoheart. As a coordinator, i work with the students and this gives us an opportunity to mentor in academics. The real focus is for students to build relationships. One way we are able to learn from other members of our communities is by engaging with each other. What i want for students to get out of this and what i believe is the greatest success of this programme is when students begin to see that the work between t u tutotutor and student is re. Ive been a Student Support coordinator. In this programme, we collaborate with prince hall, magic zone and university of San Francisco. For sick weeks of the summer, we would average 80 students from transitional kindergarten to eighth grade. This is for students to volunteer in the classrooms. While this engages in research to understand a drop that happens in reading from elementary to middleschool, it strives to promote diversity and inclusion amongst communities. My hope with this is to foster a strong sense of community between students but between faculty and staff members. As i reflect on the sacred heart goals, i see goal three, and goal four, the christian value that comes light with hearttoheart. Once a child of say credit heartsacred heart,always a chil. The responsibility i feel to my students on a daily basis is the same type of responsibility i feel to the students we work with in these programmes. The minute they step through our doors, they become one of our very own. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Next speaker, please. I joined this community, the schools of sacred heart since fifth grade and so ive been part of the community for about eight years now and for all of those years, i received Financial Assistance, which has been really helpful to my education. And so something that has been real convenient for me is that the transportation, because i live in the tende tenderloin, te transportation between my home and the schools have been convenient and i feel like the many kids that live in the tenderloin, it would be convenient for them to travel back and forth between school and the off mazin amazing finand schools offer, i feel like it can be helpful to the rest of the kids in the tenderloin because many families are looking for opportunities and Financial Aid so that they can create longlasting friendships and i feel like the most important part about my education at stewart hall has been longlasting friendships. For kids to attend these school, they will have an opportunity to have longlasting up froms and that is important. Good afternoon. Im currently the chair of the agent on the San Francisco youth commission, but im here in my capacity as a student of convent of the sacred heart school. Ive been a member of the community for four years. Theyve been a part of mine for much longer, given ive been a resident of d2 since i was in first or second grade. One thing that my Previous School community my Previous School is on the way between my house and the sacred heart so we would pass our campus everyday. One thing the school envied was the organization that the schools of the sacred heart had. They seemed to get students in at double the rate than my Previous School given the way they organized the campus itself and the resources that they use and the organization they have. As a member of the school community, theres a lot more assets to this body that i think that the city could be useful for the community, including the type of organization the type of education they provide to students. Schools educate students whether through public service, keeping the campus clean or being mindful of our neighbors and resources around the community. One thing, unfortunately, that students are known for is the exclusivity. By expanding the amount of students that can be enrolled in the sacred heart, you can expand that to include more students across the city to benefit from the education that these types of schools tend to offer. I hope this resonated with the board and i thank you for your time. Thank you, next speaker, please. Ar asiaim one of the parente community. My reason is for coming here is to have this school be . . . To alaccessible to all families. I picked this school of sacred hearts is because of the allincludesive opportunity they give and the voice they give to their kids. They create strong, embodied kids that do care about their community. It would be wonderful to see this expanded to other families, as well. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners. Im the executive director of collective impact located in the western addition. As a former employee of schools of the sacred heart, i highly recommend the school for conditional use permit to increase student enrollment. During my tenure, i learned a social awareness to impact on social justice issues and to effectively advocate for all youth. While i began working there ten years ago, we began a Strong Alliance with the school, through the hearttoheart programme. Through this partnership, we created a space to celebrate diversity while engaging and receiving academic support from their peers. They have been a valuable supporter of the backpack give away every august and to secure 2,000 backpacks annually to return to school, prepare to succeed. The school hosts a benefit concert where the proceeds go to support the backpack drive as well. Students participate in the Linton School supply drive every spring to collect things to go into the backpack. The school has also provided classroom space and outdoor space during the summertime for our hearttoheart Summer Reading camp and this Partnership Includes the university of San Francisco, magic zone, booker t. Washington centre and prince hall computer centre. Students receive support to make sure what theyve gained over the school year. The Reading Programme sevens 200 students and our students receive tutoring during the school year, from middle school and convent hall. They prepare students to thrive and live responsibly. Thank you, next speaker, please. Good afternoon. I have had the privelege of being employed by the school for 17 years. My experience at the school has been amazing. I had a nephew there that just graduated two years ago and hes attending California State University or bakersfield. My son is attending the school and currently as a junior. I support the application because the whole community has begigiven my nephew and son a br opportunity. Any son socially engaged in this opportunity that is different from what he will see another school. I have also seen firsthand, how this community is something Everyone Wants to be a part of. My son is eagerer day to go to school. Something as a father, i did not think i would ever see. For these reasons, i support the application and hope to see more students have the same opportunity as my son and my nephew did. Thank you for your time. Good afternoon. Im terry mcguire, president of the Residents Association or phra. Phra has held numerous meetings over the past six months to negotiate an agreement that would allow our organization and neighbors to support this application. Our board approved the agreement and to the best of my knowledge, it is also supported by most, if not all, of the neighbors. Our agreement established enrollment caps for future Academic Years with a requirement that there be a public hearing prior to approval of the last increase of 50 students for the Academic Year of 20242025. Since the Planning Department staff did not know how to recommend the desired hearing for that last increment, the school in a desire to comply with the agreement was willing to amend their application to request only an increase of 150 instead of the original 200 enrollment increase, but they had taken that action, perhaps, a little too late. The intent of the agreement was to require a simple hearing before that last increment of 50 was approved. The purpose of the hearing on that last increment of enrollment was to focus on progress and issues related to traffic and parking and the progress of the school in adhering to the enrollment caps and other provisions of the agreement. Phra and neighbors have no desire to require a new Environmental Impact report for the project. The new eir for the last 50 increment would be unnecessary and expensive. We hope there is an amendment before the final 50 is enrolled or approved. This action would be somewhere over 15 years ago when the conditional use permit for the stewart Hall High School at octa yoroctavian bush was approved. Thank you for your time and consideration. Thank you, next speaker, please. Good afternoon, commissioners. Im greg scott, part of the pacific height Residents Association and i pratted i pra. They were forthcoming about coming up wit conditions in terms of our agreement. We are hoping that all of the terms for our agreement can be a part of the conditional use permit. Again, echoing what terry said without a separate eir. The school has been a good neighbor, open and cooperative and theyre to be commented for all theyve done in the neighborhood and theyre sensitive about parking in traffic and we expect that that will continue with this enadditional enrollment under the cu but were asking for an additional hearing before the last increment of 50 happens. Thank you for your time. Thank you, next speaker, please. Good afternoon, commissioners. Im max savage. This is an opportunity to support the Mental Health and wellbeing of students, teenaged students around the country. For the last year and a half, weve served as a startup in residence at convent and stewart Hall High Schools. The school has allowed for the Code Development of our platform, bringing together educators, students and Mental Health professionals and technology to breathe life into the platform. The platform is projected to reach over 100,000 students around the country free of charge. Many of these students live in San Francisco and go to different high schools in our city. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. I attended stewart hall for boys from 1994 to 2001 and then from 2002 to 2006. I went to stanford followed by oxford and recently from law school at berkley and now i work for the city and county of San Francisco, specifically the San Francisco d. A. s office and i work on collaborative courts with the office. Out i am born and raised in San Francisco. I grew up not very far from here in the tenderloin and where i grew up has a lot to what i do. My parents were very young and they recognised one thing, which is they were not going to be able to give us access to opportunities where we were growing up. They submitted my application as a first grader and i was lucky to be admitted. Thats why i think increased enrollment is important because i was one of the lucky ones. I learned how to speak english at the school of the sacred heart and made friends with classmates and their parents. I was lucky my parents saw this at a young age. Apart from the educational support, care and attention and wrapping of a blanket i received at the schools of the sacred heart, there was a great devotion of the city. I attribute that to a lot of the classes i took at stewart hall, where i was encouraged to volunteer year after year and i have continued to do so since then. Its not just the support and resources students from the background obtains, but the love and desire for the city when you are so ingraciated in a community. So i do hope that youll consider increasing enrollment and i thank you for the time. Thank you. Anyone else from the public wish to comment ton to item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. I just wanted to say before i hand this off to the commissioners that im very well impressed with the students that turned out today. We always like when actual students show up to the hearing. Any school that prides itself on inclusivity, equity, Community Involvement and also offering Financial Assistance usually does it for me and im supportive of this project today. Commissioners . Commissioner hillis . I am, too, supportive and appreciate the school and the neighborhood working together to kind of work through some of their differences on this. We always we recognize that transportation is usually the driving force on these enrollment increases. Just a question for planning staff. Could we modify the ceu to give them those stepped increases and then just require i think weve done this in the past, the hearing when theyre before they exceed that 1,000student threshold . Yes, i think you could. Elizabeth, im on the planning staff. We have them on trained conditions, specifically condition 15 speaks to reporting. You can tack it on or add that on. As well as the stepped increases . We have an one under operation and you can add it there. Ok, great. You mean, i would support this with those changes being made. Commissioner fung . I have a question for project sponsor. What is the demographic breakdown of the population . Sorry, this is a little bit off the top of my head, but we did a publication for our High School Enrollment and i think we have people declare themselves how they want to be counted or whether they could consider themselves people of colour and i believe that statistics and ill check with robin, over 43 . 43 at stewart hall. And i think 40 at Convent High School and then, i dont have specifics but its in the mid20 at the elementary. Thats total. Percentage . The percentage relates to total students of colour . Yes. Commissiocommissioner moore . Thank you. This made the school not just a document but real as part of this community, including the importance of the people it shapes. Im in strong support and make a motion that we approve this condition together with a modification of the meeting at an enrollment cap of 1,000 is reached. Second. Commissioner moore, could you please repeat the amended part of the motion, the amended commissions . Could you repeat them, please. That we encourage to make part of the motion a special meeting when the enrollment cap of 1,000 students is being reached. Thank you. On that motion, then, commissioners, to approve this matter with conditions as have been amended and read into the record, commissioner fung. Aye. Commissioner johnson. Aye. Commissioner moore. So moved and that passes 50. Commissioners, that will place us on item 8, 2018, conditional use authorization. Good afternoon. The auto before you i item befoe downtown residential zoning district, to code 303 and 827. 37 to convert a portion of the existing accessory parking garage for the residential units to an automobile parking Garage Community commercial use for a total of 30 parks spaces. Currently, the project site contains a residential building with 448 dwelling units and 251 accessory offstreet parking districts. The information provided by the project sponsor, the sub terrainin garage has an used balance of 50 spaces or 30 spaces, including a buffer of 20 spaces for fluctuating resident demands. The project to propose the accessory Parking Spaces to a paid Public Parking garage for 30 spaces. Thito date, the department has received three public correspondents expressing concerns about the security controls, the increased Traffic Control and 50 of the pedestrians, particularly to the lessabled pedestrians. According to the transportation study, the project will not result in a significant transportationrelated impact as the suit is developed with an existing parking garage and the implementation of the project will marginally increase the number of vehicles traveling to and from the site. And in summary, this is on balance consistent with the requirement of the planning code and objectives and policies of the general plan. The project converts the accessory parking space into paid public Parking Spaces. Thats providing parking for patrons of the nearby establishments without adding Additional Development to the city. The Department Also finds the project to be necessary, desirable and compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and not be detrimental to the adjacent properties. The project sponsor prepared a presentation and that includes a presentation and available for questions. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissionerrerings. Im Megan Jennings and im here on behalf of the project sponsor, 399 fremont, llc. Tiffany is here, as well as jeff spicer from the Parking Management company, pcu. As your staff designed the residential building at 399 free monfreemont and a portion is sitting empty everyday. Because of the configuration of the garage and the fact that it of course tends underground, it really isnt feasible to convert in unused space to, for example, residential uses or any other active uses. For reference, udr is proposing to convert a portion of the parking garage at another one of its buildings, directly adjacent to this one throug to add to thg garage area but thats not feasible here. So the sponsor would like to put this garage to better use by making about 30 Spaces Available to the public and relieving some of the unmet demand for parking in the hill neighborhood. The Planning Commission has previously approved similar nonaccessory parking uses for udrs buildings at 388 beil, and the sponsor worked with pdi to oversee the operations, manage reservations, collect revenue and ensure tax payments are made to the city and they propose for the past successful relationship with p ci, as well this impacts safety which is critical, as well. The building currently has modern security features, including a camera in the garage and 24 7 concierge staff on site. The resident floors are not . . . By anyone withouand they are loy features to the garage to secure the doors from the garage into the building. Although, they need to make sure that any changes to those doors will comply with fire and safety requirements. Similarly with respect to pedestrian safety, the proposal here is to use a recently constructed facility in accordance with the uses it was constructed for. While the sponsor does not believe there are existing safety features or safety features that require addressing, they are looking into options to add additional notification for pedestrians on the street when the gate is being open and closed. In short, we believe this is a sensible reuse of constraint space in an existing facility and the staff report demonstrates that the findings for the conditional use can be met. So we respectfully ask the commission for approval today. Thank you. Worri just wanted to get your pulse on how this building has been doing. I heard you say that it was the total spots in the 200s . 251. How many of those were used, typically . On a daily basis, about 200 are occupied, so 50 are empty. As it is today existing, are there any electric vehicle charters . There are. The propose is for advanced reservation, so the flow into the garage is secured and controlled in that way. Once individuals are within the garage, there is not a physical separation other than ramps in between the proposed Public Parking area and the residentonly parking area. Its access into the residential spaces. I think under the circumstance and the fact that the applicant has a track record of running similar programmes in other buildings that had any other issues, they didnt think it was necessarily warranted to install an additional security gate. Its also my understanding that just given the way the garage is configured, it would be challenging, because there isnt a clear point where would be place to install another interior gate. please stand by . I would be hesitant to see all vacant spaces previously assigned to residential uses now being converted to commercial spaces when we are really under the mandate to decongest downtown, making downtown more transit and pedestrianfriendly, and getting away from cars. As these spaces become commercial spaces, we are we inviting people to drive to downtown and park their car for commercial use rather than for those with which these spaces were originally intended. I think it would be a step backward to a more car free, less congested downtown. I just want to throw that out. The director his is not here today, but i see mr. Rogers over there putting it on your to do list to look at this as a trend and how do we address the chan trend as we move forward. There has always been a request for newer buildings for applicants to consider the possible conversion of how below greater at grade parking can be adapted to other uses over time. Im not sure when this building was built, but i would like us to dig deeper and not just to do parking to parking. This is not a comment against your project, but a comment by which, we as Planning Commissioners, need to look into the future and be creative about adaptive reuse of parking other than car oriented uses. Thank you. Commissioner hillis . I would fully
