Madam clerk, call item one its an ordinance amending the planning code for the describe the cannabis dispensaries maybe loud within 5 hundred feet of another. Supervisor yee is the author. Thank you chair winn this was to address the clustering of medical cannabis dispensaries on ocean avenue intention included in the green zone it allows for the medical cannabis dispensaries, however, its growing and attracting new business merchants and planners it has two distennessees pepsi with others being comprised there are loitering and double parking complainants. This is when neighbors and other 0 members of the ocean avenue expressed the number of medical cannabis dispensaries. I want to acknowledge that this ordinance is not targeting any permit or support the banning of dispenses we want to support of the dentist of businesses and prevent the further clustering. The ordinance were reviewing will require a conditional permit within 5 hundred feet on ocean avenue. Applicants would have to prove theyll bring measurable community brendas benefits to the diflth and develop management plans and have Public Safety in mind. This process allows for more Community Input on the application. Over the past few months weve gotten support from the organization especially ocean avenue organization. Weve worked with the medical cannabis dispensaries advocates to discuss this not to prevent Patient Access but have a Fair Distribution of businesses that reflect the neighborhood character. As with any business we want them to be in the best that neighborhoods they can possible be in to i doubt it to a greater community. The Planning Commission is unanimously voting for the passage of this ordinance. I believe aaron star if the Planning Department is here also to present on this matter. Colleagues i know this ordinance is important to the neighbors of district 7 and hope we can get the support to pass this legislation thank you very much. Thank you supervisor yee and good morning this ordinance requires the medical cannabis dispensaries is have conditional use authorization to be located within 5 hundred feet in the ocean avenue Transit District it was heard on april 3rd and voted for approval. The same type of but for is used in the outdoor neighborhood district and in a recent report the Planning Commission endorsed this should the board of supervisors extend whats referred to as the green zone or the medical cannabis dispensaries what locate. Please will let me know if you have any questions thank you, mr. Star. So at this point if theres no questions or comments by members of the committee well precedes for.

Im dan weaver im acting ann as represent of the ocean avenue organization the executive director of that cv d. As supervisor yee as point outed out this is in nucleus with this effort were not trying to eliminate any business, in fact, we welcome businesses. But clustering even if businesses and type of businesses 20 dont work well, we have a lot of that actually. We think that 5 hundred feet is a good distance and we understand this is a temporary move that could be changed by further legislation at the supervisors and citys level this will help us maintain a balance more or less for the last 5 years. Ive given you a position paper the hoa as endorsed which spells out our position on the matter. If if you have any questions, ill be happy to answer them. Thank you thank you very much. Next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors and land use. And good luck with this item that you do. Because im stoned in love with city you. And im just a Public Comment man. Doing everything the best the city can. And if i could id give the city word to you. Then good luck to you. Because im stoned in city love with you. Thank you. Next speaker. Commissioner good afternoon. My name is a ms. James im a resident of engel Side Community im representing the o m i organization at this point. Were against this cannabis dispensaries in the o m i. One thing ive attended the ineptly side terrace meeting the other night and brought up the question there was more use of Electrical Equipment into some of the businesses which means they were growing marijuana or whatever need the business that may cause fire and others hazardous situations. The other thing ive noticed the first one that came but we talked about the School District bow u but not you im concerned about the private schools next to the church and that was not included. The other thing we need more variety of businesses in our neighborhood. On that street we dont have a locate smith or Hardware Store and the other point it attracts other kinds of people to the community from other areas to come into that community where we have drug use around the community so ill be opposed to that. We have a Mental Health clinic on this street at the what is it on saxon im concerned about some of the border care homeownerships with the mental ill their attracted to the institutions wanted to sell marijuana. . Not a good thing on the businesses on ocean avenue. We need a lot of other thank you supervisor kim has a question. Commissioner. So commissioner james. I had a question and maybe i dont want to speak for supervisor yee but my understanding with the legislation is that this would create on additional process for any new medical Marijuana Dispensary that wants to come to ocean avenue and the goal of the legislation i dont want to speak for the exit of the businesses being created its not other businesses but is that your understanding this will help reduce medical marijuana dispensaries. I understand one is in question and another organization is coming in and competing with the second spot. Im saying to decrease both of them not have a second one we dont need a second one addressed so theres something wrong with the businesses in question of theyre running the business so this legislation if it were existing today would prevent from one medical kirnd mire within 5 hundred feet even if each other so this legislation what it does will have the limitation of 5 hundred feet with each other. Youre talking about specifically are its a situation where theres a new person thats coming in but thats not what what we are doing today okay. Just because they have the discussion at ineptly side they wanted to take over this one and the one is fighting to stay there. So this legislation is different from that. All right. All right. Thank you. Any Public Comment on that item . On item one seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Okay colleagues if there are no additional questions or comments would i have a motion to forward that to the full board. That will be the order thank you. Madam clerk, call item 2 the resolution authorizing the rec and Park Department to accept a grant up to one hundred and 50 thousands. President supervisor chiu chiu is the author i presume hes on his way down now. Can you call the office . Actually madam clerk why dont we have a quick item instead of item 2 call item 3 and well take item 2 next item 3 the resolution exempting certain locations from the police irregularity arcadia. I along with the supervisor breed are the co authorizes it comes up when we discover outdated and odd code sections and basically, what this b will do is allow self businesses one in supervisor breeds district and one in my that are attempting to expand and this he we have a Police Code Section that dramatically restricts arcadia games in neighborhoods districts by denying them as used babylon depending on on the Square Footage you can only have a small number of arresting can do games this goes back to the day with arcadia games led to no Good Behavior or Something Like that. We know theres a lot of great businesses that can use arcadia in creative ways. So the plod code section allows the board of supervisors to eliminate that Square Footage limitation. And this this elective would do that with the neighborhood commercial district. So that will allow those businesses to install up to 10 arcadia games. The reason it can only gossip to 10 theres a Different Police section and other sections saying the arresting can do took place concern sections those are limit the number of arresting can do games citywide to 10. This will not impact that limit. I know that as supervisor breeds aid will mention were working on legislation to deal with that so i want to bring up mr. Johnson from supervisor breeds office to add thank you chair wiener. Im with the supervisor breeds office. I want to reiterate what the chairman said. The fundamental problem is the police code treats the arresting cads amazement as slot machines like in the 1930s. So supervisor breed is work with Supervisor Scott Wiener and the Police Department working on the interim would ask for you to exempt one business in district 5 and okay. If theres no questions or comments well move to. I will say for the record ill be offering a small amendment to item 3 specifically on the first page line 24 it currently states are more than 10 music sxiez with up to thats a draft error in the resolution. Any Public Comment on item 3 please fix this item the only game in town. In the city were going to change fix the the only game in town game. Wouldnt you wouldnt you. Fix the game in the city in the arcadia in the game ambassador fix the the only game in town game. And in the item its like a city at play on a sunny day were going to come out out okay. Its the game, game, game and that is for the item plays a mean pinball. Thank you thank you. Any any Public Comment on that item . On item 3 seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Supervisor kim thank you and i apologize mr. George but i have a quick question by the way, i support in legislation i want to know why you exempt 16 something walling in her exempting you were market Transit District is there a reason not to go through an area plan. Thank you sxrifr youre our office and supervisor wiener are working on a broader version in the interim we feel it will provide another exempt for the outreach. So in the longterm youre looking at a broader version. Yeah, well be working with the planning code and police code. I understand we need to move forward with this. He ultimate amendment will allow for more than 10 arcadia games as opposed to the current law restriction to 10. So colleagues the minor amendments can we have a motion to adapt that amendment. Okay well take that without objection. The amendment is adapted and could i have a motion to forward to the full board with as a Committee Report well take that without objection. That will be the order. Thank you, colleagu thank you, colleagues okay amy caan is here item 2 please and item 2 is a resolution authorized the rec and Park Department to accept a grant. Good afternoon xrifrz. Supervisor chiu is in route to the Committee Meeting im going to start speaking on his behalf so supervisor chiu asked for the grant. And the resolution will allow the rec and Park Department to accept one . 5 million from the knob Hill Foundation to carry out the hill project there are representatives from the rec and Park Department that will be presenting but essentially the project entails the replacement of a childrens playground and the hunting park to maintain a wonderful park for the residents to enjoy and its been driven by the Committee Members and volunteers and over the course it worked with rec and Park Department to get the scombut from our neighborhood and raise the funds for the implementation felt project. Its been a community effort. Im going to ask abigail from the rec and Park Department to give more detailed presentation and the supervisor will be asking for requests for the resolution a little bit later okay. Thank you very much. So rec and park now good afternoon. My name is ash galley work with the rec and Park Department. Im here today to request an approval for the rec and park to accept a entrant from the knob Hill Foundation. The park is in the knob hill district at taylor and in sdprakt 3. The park is dissected by sidewalks and in the east direction with the circular fountain and the child pack is along sacramento street. The eastern play areas for the constrain and the western for the older children the play commit dates back to 1970 and the ground material it sand. For about 3 years the members have divorced their time to work with the community and rec and park staff to install a perimeter fence. The association has followed the gift and you outreach policies and standards of the rec and Park Commission theyve held 7 Community Meetings and presented at rec and park meetings. On december 19, 2013, the rec and Park Commission approved the conceptual plan for the renovation of the playground at Huntington Park. At that point, the commission asked they expend a grant in the amount of one point plus million dollars. So at this point that concludes my presentation. Thank you great. Thank you very much. Without i guess we can go to Public Comment and when supervisor chiu arrives he can make his comments. Ms. Chang is there a written amendment or we have worked with the City Attorneys Office to rise the language the resolution and the rec and Park Department will have the language. So is this the one copy. Actually yeah. Is it something you can read or dividing the file the duplicating the file and moving forward the piece of the file that would only include the expenditure for the playground. And then well keep the fence in committee. Yeah. At the Community Meeting so it, happen. It will be helpful if we could get photos for the file and each of the Committee Meetings. Maybe while Public Comment is happening. Okay. So well now open item number 2 up for. Public comment is 2 minutes when you have 30 seconds as i havent called anyone yet so youll have 30 seconds left youll hear a soft bell and when your time is up a harder bell. I have 5 Public Comment cards and if you want to fill out a card so the names are calling names and so if youll come on up it doesnt have to be in the specific order. And if youll line up on the non door side. Thats fine why dont you fill out a card and submit it okay put user towards the end and i have a few more cards so go ahead good afternoon, supervisors. Im a resident of knob hill and have been enjoying the park for many, many years. I moved here in 1990 and he ive really enjoyed hunting ton park its a beautiful open space and preefth to have that and support the playground renovation but im strongly opposed to putting a fence around the park and have a number of reasons so hopefully, the amendment will be adapted. Adapted without the fence portion. So im assuming that is the thing and move this afternoon so i look forward to no fence around Huntington Park supervisor cowen has a you mentioned you have many reasons against the fence state some. It would retain the aesthetics of the park its welcoming and very relaxing for people who live in the city to have the open space. A if he has around it will put up a huge visible barrier and say this is not a welcoming space the second reason its not a historic part of the park for get 9 years its not had a fence and not part of the original o original part. Third not helping safety but putting up a visible barrier so people cant see what whats in the park so if someone wants to do ill will to someone in the park my daughter hangs out there a lot and i dont want her to get trapped inside. If you put up a fence there are concern exits are you have to escape through thank you very much. Next speaker. Mr. Ogrady. Thank you xhifrz the ceo of the Parks Alliance. As you know every come up of years the Parks Alliance prudent persons our report we analyze the physical condition of every playground in the city and in 2012, the Huntington Park was raid a failing playground.
