Minor deviations from the provisions. Please recommend that the new uses that were not described in the draft eir be eliminated including flexible retail which as noted before us and not permitted in district two. Or, social services, or other services because the public was deprived of the opportunity to even comment on this in the e. I. R. As you can see, from the drawing, he used and the developer site plan the modifications shown the Community Preservation lookalike would achieve the same units while both using a required project open space, Natural Green spaces the public has used for Recreational Purposes and retaining historic list of characteristics. We ask you recommend against all of the items today, send this back and have a community and city Planning Project as this one that has been totally dominated by the developer. Thank you. I did call the novelties, let me call a few more speaker cards. [ name indescernible ] if you line up to my left, youre right. Good afternoon. I am a a member of operation engineers. I am in support of this project. You know, i am proud to support the proposal at 3333 california street. This project will create housing that we desperately need in San Francisco. While developing the Laurel Heights neighborhood for families. The development at 3333 california would create up to 744 units. This added housing will help keep more people in the city without pricing people out and will bring new homes into the San Franciscos. 3333 california will also provide muchneeded space, more than 5 acres of open space, neighborhoods can relax and friends can spend time with one another. With most units designed for two or more bedrooms, the project would be a fantastic place to raise a family. 3333 california offers so much for so many. It will provide a lot of, you know, good living wage jobs to a lot of good hardworking Union Laborers and workers in the construction and keep people working. And provide us with a lot more housing and open spaces. Just makes the city more beautiful. I hope you can support this project. Thank you. Are you done . Yet. This will not come out of your time, but i assume operating engineers are members of the Building Trades council, is that correct . Yes, sir. Im under the understanding they have remaining concerns about this project, are you aware of those . I was not sure about that. I am just speaking as a citizen of San Francisco. Okay. Thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. I want to point out that section 101 of the San Francisco environment code requires city officials implement what is called the precautionary principle and conducting conducting city affairs. This mandatory principle requires that a thorough signed based evaluation announcements of alternatives that present the least threat to human health and the environment. In this instance we are talking about the wholesale chopping down of 200 trees on one parcel, and the city has failed to examine whether there any alternatives. We know Climate Change presents the most existential threat to us humans and to our environment. Earlier this year the board passed a Climate Emergency resolution. The purpose of which was to revise its Climate Action strategy. In july of this year the department had a Climate Action strategy which was essentially a reiteration of their Successful Initiative that we have right now but added that the city desperately needs to sequester more carbon or we will absolutely not meet our climate goals. The department of the environment noted the most effective tool for Carbon Sequestration which we need to be doing his trees. San francisco already has the worst canopy of any major city in the United States. Last year we lost 2507 trees. Based on record, there has been no evaluation whether or not this raising is absolutely necessary. Based on presentation at a hearing in september, the reasons proposed were largely for ease of construction. According to our department of the environment we have only ten years before the impacts of Climate Change are irreversible and according to the development plans, construction will not even be close to completed by then. We need to stop doing business as usual and require and implement section 101 of the environmental code and implement the precautionary principle in conducting this evaluation. I respectfully request that this ordinance be held pending such an evaluation. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. I am with the bay area council. We advocate for strong quality of life and a Strong Economy for anyone who lives here. I just want to elevate some of the points made. We are in support of this project. 744 and muchneeded homes in San Francisco. Our annual goal is 5,000. This would actually make a big impact towards that target. Going back to some of the points made where they would provide a childcare center, 175 children, lowering the retail from 110,000 square feet to 35,000 square feet and going above and beyond with 25 for lowincome seniors. I think that is a demonstration of the developer listening to the Community Going above and beyond and providing familyfriendly aspects to this community. We talk about how every city needs to do their part, but every neighborhood need to do their part. In the past ten years, no low income units have been built. That is 80 ami or below. This would be about the same number of homes. And just in terms of what some other folks have elevated as an alternative. The difference between that project is that this one is actually feasible. We recommend approving the staff recommendations report. Thank you. Not to quibble with you, but the change from 1825 , given the fact that this is a p. U. D. And requires extraordinary approvals, you can read about it in the newspaper because i said it publicly at the time. Coalition for San Franciscos neighborhood here on my own behalf. I would strongly urge the lutc to fully review the new community variance which are as follows, the Community Preservation lookalike variance, and the community full preservation alternative variance, too. The Laurel Heights community has a proven track record of negotiating with developers at california street. This developer, however, has proved to be challenging. That is why the community has gone to such lengths to develop alternatives. There are significant issues with onsite retail, especially flexible retail. The neighborhood already has an abundance of brickandmortar retail. Another issue is the 715 year entitlement process. This is overly generous and does not hold the developers feet to the fire to produce housing sooner rather than later. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. I am the chief operating officer of the Jewish Community center San Francisco. Im here to speak in support of the proposed project at 3333 california street. For 86 years we have serve the people of San Francisco from the corner of presidio and california. We provide a vibrant Public Community space for people of all ages and backgrounds to gather, explore, connect and flourish. He will find it little children, school age youth, young adults, families, robust and aging seniors as well as folks in midlife, like myself walking through our doors for wellness and sports activities, handson arts and recreation as well as thoughtprovoking arts and cultural events. The jcc believed the 3333 california Street Development, as proposed would create a more vibrant neighborhood with more housing, activity and open spaces. Which will benefit the Broad Community that we serve. We understand the acute need for more housing, especially Affordable Housing for seniors and our city. We are pleased to see that this is an element of the proposed project. We appreciate that the project includes publicly accessible open spaces and the design thoughtfully stitches together the neighborhood by continuing the street grid. We believe this will benefit everyone by encouraging walking and access to outdoor space in an urban neighborhood. The open space in this project also allows the jcc to continue to have an emergency evacuation location nearby, which is critical to our Community Serving purposes. The jcc also supports the conclusion of social services and philanthropic facilities as a use in the special use district. This designation provides a helpful pathway as we consider how to serve our growing community. We would like to think that prado group for its diligent efforts to involve the community in the past four years. Jcc has been a regular participant in the project. Thank you. Let me call out a few more speaker cards. In lieu good afternoon. My name is judy dunn. My husband and i have lived in Laurel Heights, one block from the side of the proposed Real Estate Development for over 45 years. We recognize the pressing need for more Affordable Housing, in San Francisco and support construction of housing on this site. The current proposal, which prado wants 715 years to complete includes unnecessary retail, threatens the quality of life, forever changes the Natural Beauty of laurel hill and destroys the majority of 185 old world trees. We simply cannot afford to lose it an era of Climate Change. This project should be redesigned to keep off the green space and protect the mature trees. Including 15 healthy new Zealand Christmas trees that line california street from presidio avenue up to laurel. By proposing 16 new businesses be added to the plan, prado changes what should be a Residential Development into a retail destination. Furthermore the proposal of flexible retail allows almost an unlimited range of commercial uses on their definition of what is allowed is deliberately vague. We dont need more retail in our neighborhood. Laurel village has two supermarkets, starbucks, peets coffee. Liquor store, ace hardware, bigelow cafe, three banks, pharmacy, multiple doctors, dentists and psychotherapy offices. Several boutiques in a variety of other businesses. There is a much better way to address the need for development that meets both the Housing Demand and still protects the Historic Building and beautiful landscaping surrounding it. It provides the same number Laurel Heights improvement association. First, according to the bay guardian this developer previously promised to build Affordable Housing in has the laurel Street Project in then backed out and paid the fee to the proposed 3333 Development Agreement would be a bad deal for the city. It specifies one option that would allow the developer to build 386 at market rate units and then avoid building the Affordable Housing by giving the city where the proposed on the building is to be built. That would be called the walnut lands, along with a rental gap the bills were paid paid less than 200 per foot for the property. The cost of that land is very low. Also, there is a second option if the developer does not transfer the land to the city, the city can accept the fair market value of the walnut lands, but the land is burdened by the Affordable Housing requirement. It would not appraise for market value without that burden. Weve asked for information on these two options, but have not been provided it. The city should have a budget analyst perform a Detailed Analysis of these options. The developer has told us that the in lieu fee is too high, you should recommend these two options be omitted and change the agreement to make the developer pay the full 58 milliondollar in lieu fee required by planning code section 415. 5 if he doesnt build the Affordable Housing, because it is the only effective incentive that will force him to build it. Supervisor stefani has introduced another measure that would allow the lucky penny developer to get out of building the housing and pay the fee, although he promised a year ago in his s. U. D. To put it in. It is very expensive to build Affordable Housing, and it looks like these two other Viable Options will probably be pursued in this manner. I am sorry, is your time. Next speaker, please. Chair peskin, supervisors, my name is susan. Im here representing eight owners in an Apartment Building on the corner of presidio and pine. What i wanted to say, not that i am opposed in any way to additional housing, which everyone has said we all want to have. We would take pause and be able to go back and do more collaboration with the developers looking at the two alternate proposals to get a good solution. Pausing to do that, and even take some time would save a lot of time if its going to take seven, 12, 15 years to finish the development that is being proposed by the developer. Use time wisely, right now, that could save a great deal of time and getting those affordable units and also the other residential units built. The alternate proposals would possibly allow for your building, instead of a extended time that is in the proposal. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is john nolte here representing San Francisco tree campaign. The project at 3333 california street, referred to as item 35 on the agenda, the project withheld i heard on septembef the Planning Commission and did not know that the committees that the impact of the project was going to appeal since the committee [inaudible] the item was hard on september 18, 2019 and has not been decided on. I think there should be a hold on the trees because it has not been decided on by dpw. You are asking to be voting on this today, you should not be doing so. The committee has not voted on the removal of the trees or anything. I ask that the committee uphold on this, and also significant trees on the site are from the laurel hill cemetery, in 1958. These trees are approximately 61 years old, and only one fifth of their lifespan has been used. They have another 250 years ago. I find that there should be continued, and also alternate plans by the community should be addressed. I have a petition of people that have signed and remarked on the tree removals at the site. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi. My name is chris, and ive lived in Presidio Heights for over 20 years. I have closely followed the plans for the development at 3333 california street. I strongly oppose the prada group plan. It will completely destroy for family neighborhoods, chop down nearly every tree in an era of climate disruption and deface the very thing that makes our neighborhood special, a green pleasant, parklike oasis which is quiet and calming to an otherwise busy corridor. Instead i support the Community Preservation lookalike variance for the community full preservation alternative varia variant. Preservation green space, preservation of laurel village, master build out of necessary housing instead of 15 years and sensitive to the needs of the city in the neighborhood. The developer speaks of the area not being connected to the city grade. I would argue that laurel hill is the green heart of the grid that connects our neighborhoods to each other. His plan replaces the trees with cement, and crowds the land with gray and black towers and buildings. Even the hill is being leveled. He is cutting out the heart of this area, and also destroying the grid of trees that go from presidio, to laurel hill, Golden Gate Park furthermore, the permit they are seeking would forever disrupt the family character in our neighborhood with businesses being open from 6 00 a. M. Until 2 00 a. M. Tell me a family that wants to live a few steps away from businesses open for 20 hours . We have been fortunate to live in a calm, green corner of a bustling city. The mixture of architecture is living colorful history from victoria to the present. If the prado group plans shows no sensitivity to the neighborhoods and its surroundings. Adopt alternative thank you. Next speaker, please. I am in favor of the Community Proposal also. I have nothing to add from what everyone said. Four generations of my family have lived steps away from this property, since my grandfathers time my family has been there, we have use this property after school, walking to the jcc. We use to swim at when we were kids. I am in favor of scaling it back a little bit with the Community Proposal. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello, i am kathy peck. I own a home in the neighborhood built in 1880, before doorknobs. I worked at 3333 california street for many, many years. I am right in the neighborhood. Im a little nervous, sorry. Take your time. Okay. I feel is poor taste of the Developers Plan for adult strip malls, housing towers and deep concrete threestory plus underground evacuation pits for destination parking, exposing our neighborhood to tons and tons of greenhouse gases, heavy traffic and congestion while we are killing off significant urban forest green trees and spaces in our wildlife. Delaying the building of any real Affordable Neighborhood housing. [inaudible] please, we pray that you will help us save our neighborhood environment, green space and give us beauty and keep our Affordable Housing for families and seniors. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is janine black and i live directly across from the green space at presidio and where masonic begins. The view from my window is that of these green spaces, where people can bring their dogs and be together, and have a little bit of a respite from the intense traffic that is there prior to this construction. While i am in supportive of new housing, i strongly oppose the Developers Project and support the Community Alternative. My college age son and i bought our place directly across the street, and i try to imagine what it would be like to have construction going on 415 years. To do that, i think about this foryearold boy who lives in the building next to ours. I can imagine, if it were to take 15 years, his entire childhood memory would be that of construction, the traffic, the dust, the vibration from the time he enters kindergarten to the time he finishes high school and perhaps even college. I strongly encourage you guys to take a little bit more time and to really preserve the green spaces that are left. Thank you. Mr. Miguel . Let me shout out a few more speaker cards area cards. If you will line up to my left, youre right. Supervisors, i am wrong miguel, i followed this project since its inception. I have seen full and consistent outreach that has kept the neighborhood, and public form. I have witnessed several changes to the original proposal, as a result of listening to the public. These included increased access to and through the property, the amount of open space, modifications to the amount of retail space, and an increase in a number of units and other enhancements. This project review Advisory Board finds this development to be an, and welcome used for the site and endorses 3333 california. This is an exceptionally suitable location. It provides an appropriate mix of land uses, residential open space, it provides a density with the neighborhood, and has generous public open space. Our only concern is the amount of parking. While all parking is underground in order to maximize usable open space, we feel the parking could be further reduced giving this transit oriented location. We appreciate that the project Team Includes different architects, and Landscape Architects helping to foster the feeling of a neighborhood, built over time, rather than as a single masterplanned project. 3333 california street creates a good place for people, and contributes to a walkable environment. If i may speak as past president of the Planning Commission, i have looked at the community plan, without going into detail, they do not work. Thank you mr. Miguel. We have a shared concern over parking. In lieu. Thank you, supervisors. Im here to im excited to be here today because it sounds like we have a couple of things in common we all want our housing, we all love trees. That is some place start from. Where some of us differ, i live down the street at california and arguello, im wholeheartedly supportive of this development. Every weekend i have a choice of my 2yearold daughter, do i go down to the commercial corridor on clement street, or do i go down to Laurel Heights . Every single weekend i choose the clement Street Commercial corridor or because Laurel Heights does not offer the commercial diversity, or the vibrancy, that is needed to make Laurel Heights even better. I would love to see this Development Gets built so that once i have more than one child, and i have two have other apartments, in my neighborhood, where i could stay. Whereas there is a low amount of apartments in our neighborhood. I wholeheartedly support this. When it comes to trees, we are so lucky to be so close to presidio. That is why we need to as much as possible, because we have such a Beautiful National treasure that our neighborhood lines. If we add commuters, we are just going to keep adding commuters. Every single commuter it takes a 400 trees to offset their carbon emission. Yes, there will be some trees cut down, but there will be way less commuters because of the quality transit on this corridor. It is the most pleasant muni bus and the entire neighborhood. I implore you all to please support this development. I agree with the last speaker, the Community Alternative will not get built. These homes for seniors, and other regular families like me will never come to fruition. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Thank you, supervisors. My name is vincent. I am a resident of the neighborhood 415 years. Neighborhood 15 years. I live there with my wife and two children. We have been renters but we would like to own something in this great city that we all call hours in a project like this would add more units and more options for me, and for many of my neighbors as well. I think many of you all likely no. Dot oakland has, for the first time in a long time, has added more units than San Francisco. Low and behold, prices there are coming down. It turns out that supply does actually seem to bring prices down. I think without further delay this project is part of the solution. It is just one part of the solution. I am also a business owner. Fortunate enough to have my business be named as one of the Fastest Growing businesses, in the city, by the San Francisco business times. One of the Biggest Challenges that my business faces is finding local employees do not have to travel 45 minutes, or longer, to get to their place of work. They are talking about adding greenhouse gases, getting them off the road, living in the neighborhoods where they work as one way to do that. This project hits that mark by adding solutions, they may not be living there, but they will be able to live elsewhere as prices come down throughout the city. Finally, i hope to be able to keep my kids in this neighborhood, as they grow old older. There is a reason why there are so few young people in the city and they end up moving out. A big part of that is theres no options for those families to live. I am lucky enough to be in a rent control place. I am sitting there, waiting to perhaps buy something at some point. With so few options it is making it hard. I hope you can move forward on this as quickly as possible. Thank you, sir. That is the first time ive heard oakland has billed themselves out of their affordability crisis. [laughter] next speaker, please. My name is edward siegel, ive lived in San Francisco my with the majority of that being a couple blocks away from this project. I love living in this neighborhood and i am in strong support of this project. Most people my age, in San Francisco do not have a realistic prospect of owning a home in this amazing city. I dont have a realistic future because we do have not built enough housing. A good start would be for you to approve a project this one, instead of waiting five years for to get approved. Time to make a call. I have the privilege of a good job, and housing security. District two has expanse a net loss in Affordable Housing over the last this building alone would ask the number of affordable units we have built in that time alone. I applaud supervisor stefani for getting more housing security to. I am so glad many speakers are concerned about global warming. I am, as well. The 744 units, the previous speakers have stated, people are going to commute in. I disagree, i think my favorite bus line in San Francisco, i do not want to see hundreds more people continuing to drive in from the suburbs in gas guzzling cars. I look forward to meeting all of my new neighbors. I hope you all support this project. Thank you. Try 20 thank you, sir. By the way, i only have one speaker card left that i have not announced and that is deborah. If there are any other members of the public who would like to testify on items three, four, or five, line up to my left and youre right the floor is yours. Thank you. Good afternoon, chair peskin and members of the committee. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak today. My name is leonard, field representative at local 22 here in San Francisco. I represent approximately 4,000 members that live here in San Francisco and 40,000 in northern california. The Carpenters Union is here today to fully support prado groups 3333 california Street Development trade not only will this project bring muchneeded housing to San Francisco, the developer is committed to the use of a Union General contractor. It means opportunity for local apprentices to advance her career in construction. It means living wages for the individuals. Building this project it means healthcare, retirement benefits. This project will provide hundreds of construction jobs and create opportunity for wom women, minorities and veterans to advance their careers as carpenters. This project will also bring muchneeded housing to the area with significant focus on seniors, and families. In conclusion, the Carpenters Union fully supports this development we ask the committee to support it as well. Thank you for your time. Thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is kayla, i was lucky enough to grow up on parker avenue. In a house built by my greatgreatgrandfather just a few blocks away from the proposed development. I am here opposed to the deforestation of this property. I am a gardener, in San Francisco, and im here taking off a very busy day working on Design Projects at the bay area. I want to bring to your attention a story written by Richard Brautigan who was a poet and author who lived in San Francisco, and the bay area, in the 80s. This story is called memory of a girl. Originally published in 1971. I would like to read it to you now. I cannot look at the environment Insurance Company building without thinking of her. The building is at presidio on california streets in San Francisco. It, blue and black building that looks like a minor philosophy plopped down on the side of what was once one of californias most famous cemeteries. Laurel hill cemetery, 1854 height 1946. Eleven United States senators were buried there. They and everybody else was removed out years ago, but there are still some tall cypress trees standing beside the Insurance Company. These trees once cast their shadows, they were a part daytime looping, and nighttime silence except for the wind. I wonder if they ask themselves questions like, where did everybody go who was dead . Where did they take them . And where are those that came here to live with them . Why were we left behind . Perhaps these questions are two poetic. Maybe it would be best just to say, there are four trees standing beside an insurance. I oppose the removal. Insurance company out of california. I oppose the removal. Next speaker, please. My name is barbara glassy, i have lived here 40 years at Second Avenue and clement. I believe i am in that community. I can walk to firemans fund. I am a senior, disabled senior but i can walk there. I am in that community, why have i not been told about this . Why havent i had a chance to make some comment about this . I am opposed to deforestation. I am opposed to anything that destroys life. I would like to bring you a Little Something does this carry through their . Not just making fun of hallowe halloween. How many of you have ever seen a bat in your neighborhood . They look very small, like this, and then all of a sudden they are huge. Trees themselves have a vast underground network of communicating with other trees. If we destroy these trees, we do not know what is coming up for the flight of birds. When i moved into my neighborhood 40 years ago i heard birds all day long and i am very close to gary boulevard. Now, if i hear one bird, in a day, that is all here. What is going to happen to those birds that constantly use those trees, the insects, the bats, whatever there is . I really hope people come look closely at this on what it is doing to the environment and make a better plan. Thank you. Thank you, maam. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors, and planning. Thank you very much for the opportunity to speak today. My name. I moved to jordan park pamela mendelson. I moved to jordan park in 1987 and was responsible for encouraging all of the tree plantings on that street, 25 years ago. I now live in pacific heights. My kids attended jcc, both of them are pediatricians, dentists, orthodontists, that, and many other services are located a block within this area and we service them all, along with five and dime and the bookstore. I would like to say that i fully support this project. I am now going to wear my broker hat. Im a Real Estate Broker and work throughout the city of San Francisco. Do not be fooled by the press that is reporting a lot of articles about vacancy factors, in this is a very desirable area for many, many merchants. It ranks along with fillmore, chestnut, sacramento and hayes. The neighborhood deserves more than banks, coffee shops. A deserves more complementary retail uses a more diverse merchants. Thank you. I am in support of this project. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. I am here to represent the forgotten people of San Francisco. While all of these houses, trees, birds and how pretty the homes are, i dont have the luxury of talking that way. Because, there is no nice trees to consider. There is none of those beautiful homes, none of that. What we get downtown is forgotten over and over again by city hall. They dont seem to care about poor people. You can stop laughing now, i see your face laughing already. I think it is terrible that anyone should sit here and laugh at the plight of people who deserve better. Housing, not just for you, or you, your trees, but for every person. The Homeless People are growing downtown. We are on the streets while you build condos, and houses, and other places for rich people to live. The people downtown are living in blight all the time. Up in this place, including mayor breed, who never comes to these meetings. She should be here, but she never shows up. To hear what the people have to say about how i think she is running things. She is running things wrongly. She is forgetting people. When she comes downtown, she dont even come to the park. The rest of the places, she doesnt see it, because she gets in her cadillac limousine and rides away. Why we continue to live in the same condition. This could be you, lady, who is it could be any of you who has fallen into the situation. It could be any of you, just because you have some now, does not mean you have some later. Think about what you are doing. Because we count, too. Thank you, sir for your testimony. Next speaker, please. Hi. This is the second time ive ever spoken at one of these hearings, and certainly not in a room as glorious as this. Please forgive me if im a little nervous area and 20w nervous it is just fine. Nervous. Dont be nervous. It is just fine. I am actually a 56yearold San Francisco native, and i grew up here. I live here. First off, about this project that i just want to say, i get it. I get the concern about housing and the housing crisis that we are exchanging at this moment. I am a lifetime renter renter in San Francisco. When i was 16 my mother and i were evicted from our residence of ten years do it to a landlord move in which never happened. I get it completely. That said, i do feel that we can have housing and preserve our natural surroundings. Im not sure if you have ever come to see this property, but photos do not really do it justice. The only way to really experience it is to go there and walked down the treelined street. There are so many studies out there about how much it being in nature does for humans. Even according to San Franciscos own tree protection legislation, the significant tree are you aware. Ellipsis tree should be protected. For reference, presidio has 32. 8 tree coverage. I also want to say talking to individuals, in the neighborhood, all throughout laurel hill, laurel village, all of that. Nobody knows this encroachment, major encroachment permit is out there. I have talked to people about it, they are completely shocked that all of the trees are up for removal. Thank you very much for your testimony. As you know we are focused on the trees. A little later on, someone will speak for the trees. Thank you. Hi. My name is deborah and i live about one block from the Development Site on sacramento street. I want to express my desire to have you support the Community Alternative. I brought a picture. This is california street. These trees have all been marked to be removed, by the city. They all have tags on them. To me, they are beautiful. This is walnut to laurel street. It extends from walnut up to presidio, as well. So, i want to support our trees. I think it is hard for you guys when you have made decisions for other parts of the city, mostly south of market. We have done a lot of building. I think now youre dealing with a very well established neighborhood. I think we have a lot more feeling about what we want done, trying to protect ourselves. Not as far as housing i think, and ive never heard anyone say that we dont want housing there, you know, for myself i would like the retail to become housing. I dont think we need retail. I do want to support our trees and ask that you not destroy 190 of them. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors. Corey smith. I want to echo everybody elses sentiment. Absolutely appreciate a good urban forest and a good canopy over our city. I think housing people, creating homes for people, should be top priority given our situation right now. I understand there will be some misinformation. I do believe that the trees are getting replaced and the total number of trees is increasing on the site. Hopefully we can get some answers on the specifics. Coming up now on years, we reimagined our store card with stakeholders, this is the highest rated project we have. Part of a Community Process which included 160 community meetings. To get everybody on the same page. There is 15 million worth of fees that will be coming out of this project going to improve the lives of san franciscans. Theres a long list of other things i know that are critical, to what this project is fantastic. The one thing that sticks out and has been top of mind recently. Talking about neighborhood association. This would be 186 low income senior homes on the site. As im going around to Different Community meetings around the city, it does have a slightly older population pair they often talk about their desire to stay in San Francisco. Theres just no options. The ability to downsize, and the ability for seniors to be able to stay in San Francisco is just not a reality. These homes are important. My mother, you know, she is not quite there yet. As she moves, and as other folks are watching their parents and eventually a get to that age. We want to have options. So, the senior homes are really important for the project, they are important to the community in the city. We wholeheartedly encourage you to move forward with the project today. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon supervisors. Im here on behalf of of larry, who asked me to speak on his behalf. Regarding this project. First i want to commend everybody and bringing it to this point. I know this project has been in planning and people have been talking about it for some time. We want to raise, with you, is that as the board is considering a developing agreement. I want to remind you of what really has been a longstanding resident in the city, Development Agreement comes with firm commitments.

Next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors. F of the San Francisco housing acn coalition. And wanted to say in tracking this project since befe Housing Action coalition. That. This is a project that repres thoughtful land use. It surveily addresses the challenges the ciw to increase density that improvg affordability and how to shrinkn footprint. It bears repeating ta project thats proposed in a ned that has produced virtually no r the last few decades. This raise of density equity. The questione housing gets built. Weve heards today say of course they supporg except when its built in their. And in my experience of housingn coalition, one of the things wes there was a lot of bitterness ae unfairness of the perception ory that some neighborhoods have toe new housing because other neight take any. We have a chance to sg around through all parts of thed this is a terrific project to di think you should approve it wity whatsoever. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors. S christopher peterson. Im fine c scale of this project. I am cont the amount of parking that is b, however. At a time when most mas around the city are providing sy less than one to one parking, ts providing significantly more the Planning Commission has been hes recently where developments areo convert underused residential mo other uses. This project is pros measures but having too much pad likely undercut the effectivenee tdm measures. So i urge the como consider looking into reducing f parking provided in the project. Thank you, mr. Peterson. Andi share the concerns of previous h the regard to the amount of par. If there are any other membee public that would like to speak, please line up. For the record im nolte nums born second as a twin. My name i did put in a speaker card. And e actually three items that are bu today in regards to 3333 califos far as my opinion on these topie Development Agreement i do not t because you have to then agree. And the removal of trees. And it the mitigations are not done wer as the major encroachment, sameo not support, because, again, ths will have to deal with the treey dont have a good track record g with trees. As a matter of factn killing off the trees in san fry have about 7 percent of them tho remove or more in San Franciscoo replace the ones they have remon francisco. And then special usem neutral on because im not cleas going to do. But i have taken to listen to the public testimony e at the Planning Commission on to i am aware of the issues. And is called a citizen planner. And id there are many issues that neede concerned about. And i am a natn franciscoen and i do appreciatee neighborhood associations have o weigh in to make this plan bette can be a lot more that could bek you. Thank you. Any other membersc for items 3, 4, 5, we will closc comment. I do want to say for ts to item number 3, i believe thee encroachment permit actually ree permittee to take care of thosei stand to be corrected. Before in supervisor stefani who is the sf these three items, we had some g questions for the lorax who spee trees. Mr. Rich, who is going to that. I will start us out. You cani miss any details and the projecn follow up. The idea is to fold t into your approvals and given tn a lot of concern about trees, ws actually appropriate for you too account here rather than havingn that takes place later. So on te point that i want to make is eve board were to approve the tree , the permit, whenever its approd require the project sponsor to k proactively with the experts atn Forestry Department who would gn the sorts of trees that will bee point here is that in order to e housing that i think we agree iy needed, we have to remove some e landscape plan the project sponk to in a moment makes an effort s few as possible and organize thn spaces around places where theye existing trees. So the point ise removal permit is granted, thatt leave the project sponsor scoto whatever they want. They still o cooperate with dpw. I would liku up to describe how he proposes e forward and do that cooperationy have looked at so far. They dona fullyformed landscaping plan y, your comments are not wholly say boletes hear from him. I would be happy to help on n after that. So supervisor peskin and sup, supervisor stefani, the questiop was about the retention of somee significant trees onsite. And i would like to take a little bite questions that i asked in this e havent gotten to parking yet. E questions i asked in this room y as to the encroachment permit, e those trees that are on city prd im making the numbers up, becad to a different just so you a, relative to the amount of paperd to read, its this file and thit was a lot of paper. But somewhe, there was provisions in item nui think said 15 significant trees5 nonsignificant trees and some ai
