Out of all your achievements, it is the Haight Ashbury guy. Out of all of your achievements the one that struck me was when you left mount zion to go to work for sf general and establish the clinics around San Francisco. That was historic. That was absolutely amazing. You took health care out in the neighborhoods and i wonder what your feeling was about this. I felt that it was such a need and when i left mount zion we had carbel floor and this and that. Over at journey we did in the have it and pigeons were sitting on the steps i said to myself, if i get this job, no more patients will sit on the steps. Well make change and put clinics because that was the purpose of my going over there is to establish clinic. In the yours that was most needed and potrero hill, Hunters Point and the mission.

All right weer item 8. San francisco parks plan. 2223 annual supportful good morning im lisa branson the director of partnership and of rec and park and here to commission authorized the department to accept 90 thousand dollars in annual support from funding generated throughout department and the parks arc lines Bench Program. To benefit program and Department Operations for fiscal year 2223. A little about this item this is not the first time you have seen this. There have been a number of changes in the way this funding is over seen by the city. We worked through those and that is coming back with this request. As you a little bit of back grounds you recall in may of 21, the department enter in the an mou with parks that governs this support. And laid out transparency requirements. Special that was an iary mou with the opportunity for 2, one year extensions and since this time we did do a year extension. Now that mou covers through july of 2023. Through may of 2023. And in january of this year the commission did approve acceptance of 90 thousand dollars in support for fiscal year 2122. And we since submitted quarter low reports on the use of those funds. And as directed by mou and almost complete with this years spending and on september 30th, we will submit a reconciled annual report to the commission on the use of the 21 22 funds. So, per terms of the mou, our staff worked with Parks Alliance in 2022 to forecast the expected support needs for fiscal 22 23 and did bring a proposed budget of 390 thousand dollars. And asked the commission to recommend that the board approve that. But in between the time the commission did make that recommendation to the board, and the next stretch going to the board the city enacted behested payment legislation that prevented us from working with the Parks Alliance on projects funded with the grant putting us in a complicated position. So, arch consulting with the City Attorney determined this since a number of the funds that the Parks Alliance provides the department in support are generated bite Bench Program. Which is determined to be a business relationship and not a fill tlopic relationship. They can be used for annual support. We come become to and ask that you approve 90 thousand dollars in annual support to cover the projects that are deemed appropriate in the mou we have with the Parks Alliance. And so earlier this month the Parks Alliance confirm in the wroiting they can provide up to 90 thousand dollars in support just from proceeds of the Bench Program and that is why we are here for this request. I will show when you we are talking about. This is the proposed budget for the 90 thousand dollars. Prospective budget that rec and park finance staff and Partnership Staff works with each division of the department to get animate for this year. The funds are distributed through a check request process signed off by the requesting Division Head and director of administration and finance. Expenditures are reported quarter low throughout the fiscal year and at the end of this fiscal year you will seat actual expenditure of the funds. I will share a few highlights what this funding supports. About 17, 500 you saw will support youth develop. Green ager offers teens in the southeast or northeast neighborhoods paved leadership opportunities. And 10 son Learning Center promotes academics, health and wellness ands Economic Development through the sport of tennis. It spments Community Event this is allow staff to add elements to Community Events extravaganza and scare grove. And pleased that this december be hosting world cup soccer and the funds will be used to support this as well. The funds support our park bench maintenance program. This program has been on hold until we work through the legal implications of the behested payment legislation and we are both on the department and parks land are eager to open this up. Parks alliance, which deals with donors reports they heard from 75 Community Members who had been interested in putting politicalos benches through this program and had to get on a long wait list for that. So it is not only this program is in the only a source of fund raising but an person resource for resident hos want to honor friends and family in San Francisco parks. And this funding supports Department Rec and facilities. Mobile rec wall which was acquired through a donation. Does need fill thereuponic support for the recertification. And in fact, when the funds were stalled, we had to put away the mobile rock wall for several months. And then the funds support our volunteer promise. They allow the department to add a layer of excellence to people who invest in parks. It is important, even though it is volunteer programs 2500 dollars it allows the materials. Supplies. Water and other thing this is make the eventses more special. Lastly the funds support that minot be last. They support staff develop allow us to go to an extra conference or extra class and also support Employee Recognition ask appreciation. Picture is a High School Student who payment in the the work Creation Program getting an arc worried we were able to provide with this Previous Year funding. And to summarize, today staff are recommending the commission authorize the department to accept up it 90 thounz in annual support from funds held and commemorated by Bench Program to support important programs for the parks. I did want to energy if we do determine in working with Parks Alliance there are additional funds from the Bench Program and religious pd has needs that could be funded in this way we may come back later this year and for to request this you recommend that the board approve the next bunch funding if we go over 100 thousand dollars that will trigger the necessity for board prove. Well take that next step when we get there. The programs are so important we wanted to take this first stem and i will let you know because the city stearn my best friends but the approach was with the City Attorney, so we are doing this in a new way. I guess if you indulge me i wanted to thank the admin in finance team at rec and park and my team.

I think a few key points is this project has the design the shadow reports have indicated to cast few are shadows than a first foot building this building has been sculpted so it cast less than a project not under your jurisdiction. This sponsor could have come in with a 40 foot building we would not be here temperature is taller but cast less shadow. We reduced the shadow in the garden removed 77 units you see on the slide on the over head area the bodiesing that is south of the Community Garden. Could you use the microphoneful we removed a portion of project south of the Community Garden reducing the project by 77 units. That is 77 households that would not otherwise be in san front we did this to minimize the shadow on the garden. We have submitted expert testimony that the shadow on the Community Garden which is gone before 10 a. M. In the morning noted affect the use of the garden. Some folks disagree. But i think if you disagree, what you can see is that the city has Community Gardens and ours is one operates successfully in soma and surrounded by buildings that are tall. Folks love this Community Guard sxen use it regular low. The build to a Community Garden is not something that will affect the enjoyment and ufts garden as we see in San Francisco. Other points about the report, there is no shadow on the play ground at any time during the year. There are 2 picnic areas one receives no shadow, your time is concluded. Im sorry. Could i ask for more time as the sponsor. That is up to the chair. Yes. I will allow. One. Jury room okay. There are 2 picnic areas one zero shadow one receives during afternoon and winter in a grove of trees. Additionally, the property is zoned for housing the city zoned it for housing this project is code compliant and when rezoned for housing than i made considerations under ceqa saying shadows on the park were less important than Housing Production to the city. City made that policy goal by over rideingly the eir for parking, some of the callers and folks and opposition concerned about lack of ping the City Planning Department and the mca discouraged ping. This project is meeting the transit first goals by not providing parking and gets points for under the plan with Planning Department. Manage that is incentivized for us to do. Thank you very much. Next speaker. Anyone who is here in person may come up and you have 2 minutes. Take your time, it is fine. Upon [inaudible] and im [inaudible] 92 and a half and i own this property way beyond my life finish a native to San Francisco and love San Francisco dear low. Love everything about it and we had this property since the 1930s. And i inherited from my father and im older than any of you and im a native of San Francisco and arc dover our city but i dont like that is helping and i want it to nice to be here and park and rec. Because i know you existed. Going on from years now. But here you all are. [inaudible] except for one lovely crowure not here. I know that that you all of ones here now grew up in the city. Anyway. Blessings to you i would not like to do what you are doing in any way and have empathy toward you. But im not 99 i thought i should properly [inaudible] i brought my pacifier shut up. You allow me [inaudible] will over catholic families and you know mary is not leading the show but jesus is. Thats all right okay. We will all for one and one for all. I hope you get out of this [inaudible] and have this workable project blessings to you. Thank you. Thank you. Brutish hand shake so you dont pass germs. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Hello im noel i live in the mission district. Before that i lived in potrero hill. I never come to the meetings and dont have stake in this project other than being a local resident and machine this uses the park and also the Community Garden. You know i took time off work to come here i think someone from the Community Needs to represent park, housing is important but so are partial and Community Gardens. In the communities garden policiless document, it says that more Community Gardens are the third top priority for San Francisco residents. I think it is ridiculous to think a 7 Story Building adjacent to a garden noted have a negative impact. The park is called potrero del sol, fun is in the name. One of the reasons people go to park system because of the sun. This is also located in the mission district. Our sun jest neighborhood its is a reason it attracts people. I like top point out that even if there is a relatively mauler shadow impact the way that plants grow they need to achieve a temperature for enzymes to be act vafted stimulate growth. It is easy to underestimate the impact the shadow will cast. And i think the vote in support of this project would be in opposition to the voters of San Francisco because the project clearly is violation of the sunlight ordinance and double the shadow on the park and 4 times as much shadow allowed by the sunlight ordinance. Thank you. Thank you, noel. Anyone else withhold like to speak . Come on up. Am im frank and im a Mission Residents and also park use and member of the Community Garden. I would like to say as someone who spends a lot of time in the p this would be a significant shadow this Community Garden is unique. It gets sun all day long. And there is no fog. We can grow things that people cant grow in other Community Gardens, tomatoes, squash, pumpkins and melons and most things would not grow well. You see how market rate really service the good of the community that is being proposed to be built in. Also it does extremely hard to park near the project. To go to the park or for people who live near the project. Thats all significant negative impact for the many people who enjoy using the park every day. So, the previous speaker said, this is 4 times the 1 number that the 1989 memo said. Extremely Significant Impact and i dont see the Community Good being there to balance it out. Thank you. Thank you, frank. Anyone else in room 416 hold like to speak . Thanks. Hello. Im del gregor i peek for 12 people in our neighborhood. It is just so hard to stay on top of all the meetings for year and get to them. I am speaking about parking because this is part of the Community Good. This is a neighborhood that is currently very challenged with parking the hospital parking lotted is full in the morning. People cant get longterm park. There are waiting lists forever. As well as now the ucsf research build and 3 schools as well as the park. All the neighbors i spoke to have asked for this project to figure out how they can have park. Sdwo 32 unit system 464 people. I would love to live in a fantasy world where we all jumped on Public Transportation and used bikes, however this area of San Francisco is not one of those accomplices. There are people who work grave yard shifts. Go to silicon valley. Elderly, mobility issues they need parking and neighbors there cannot deal with the parking that then coming to where it was not provide for. We are for housing. We are for more housing in San Francisco but please, continue this discussion, listen to the neighbors add parking. And figure out specialing that works without creating additional problems in the neighborhood. Thank you. Thank you. Combg anyone else who would like to speak. Okay. I will move over to the folks on the public line. If you are here to speak on this item go ahead and raise your hand by dialing star 3 we have 9 hands raised. Hello im genevieve, an unhoused cultural work in San Francisco. A residents of the city for 20 years and a user of potrero del solp the shadow is undeniable. We all know that it is going to impact the sunny p land available to users in the Community Garden. If you are not dont realize, the name potrero del soltranslates to pasteur of the sun. Nature of this park will be upset. And there is the additional impact to parking. As others said, ping in this neighborhood is already under a crunch. Anyone whos gone sf general and cruised looking for a parking site knows how difficult it can be. If you are a culture worker putting on an event. We need to bring in vehicles full of event material such as cost unanimous, audio visual gear and need to have close access to parking to the park to put on events. It is inpromote to build a building with 232 units and assume nobody in the building will need to park in the area example your ride share drivers. Im an unhoused resident and culture worker in San Francisco i would life to believe there would be house nothing the building for me i value the Cultural Resource of pomp contrary del solas is and had remains of the farm and the Community Garden and Artist Spaces which are critically in a pinch in San Francisco at this time. Thank you, kindly for your consideration. And have a wonderful day. Thank you genevieve. Next speaker, please. Im jim chapel a 45 year San Francisco Resident Mission district daily park user. Am im a daily housing user. A member of the Housing Action coalition the project is excellent use for the site. A major crisis in the shortage of housing in this city. 232 families will be living at 1458 san bruno. The site walking distance to muni, barted, the 24th Street Commercial core to San Francisco general where there are thousands of jobs and to a school, park and play ground. I read the shadow study. It it is very clear the shadow impacts are minimal. Will adopt a resolution recommending to the Planning Commission the shadow will not have a significant adverse affect on the parks. Thank you very much. Thank you, jim. Next speaker. Good afternoon, commissioners jake process on behalf of the Housing Action coalition and like to echo the words the previous speaker. Y are in support of the project and submit a positive recommendation to planning. Our project review committee endorse 1458 san bruno a few months ago and demonstrates exemplary features higher number of below market rate homes. Transportations through bike parking and Strong Community fwhafs include displace am protections and encouraged ping engagement. Recognized and highlighted the Building Design will provide acoustic buffer against the highway and maintaining access to direct sun. For most of the park and garden with a stepped back facade at upper levels. Yesterday afternoon i sent you a list of 150 residents who support this project and hope you take their force in account. Thank you for your consideration we ask that the rec and Park Commission do everything to help this project move forward. Thank you. Thank you, jake. Im daved and live on potrero hill for 20 years. I support this project. Previously speaks have mentioned the reasons the fordable housing component. There are 28 units that will be added at less than 120 of ami. That is important. The most important part of this project and the community is the activation of the street. The street is culdesac. And i think it would be important for the safety of the area and to have people there and People Living there at the end of the street. Where currently it empties out at the end of the day. This is i think the most important Community Benefit of this project. And im excited and hope it goes for the. I recommend that you recommend this forward to planning. Thank you very much. And i yield my time. Thank you, david. Next speaker. Im bill keen and i have been a San Francisco residence den for 17 years. I live in bernal and my kids go to Daniel Webster in potrero we pass through the area on a daily bases and make use of the park. I like to strongly support the project. I think there are a number of positive things mentioned the below market rate homes that are available. And the n enlivenment of the area around the park. And the active Public Transportation there will further enhance and improve the demand for Public Transportation in San Francisco. And you know, i believe that we need to support of projects like this to help more people in San Francisco finds housing. And very supportive and like that the approval move forward. Thank you very much. Thank you, bill. Next speaker. Hi. Ashley are you there, can you please pull up your attachment d. The shadow analysis . Is this possible. I will pause your time i will pull that up for the commissioners. Thank you. If you are casting b turn this to page 24. You will have to hold on a second i cant let you upon speak legals im rung the clock. Give me a minute. Im sorry. Are you still with us, caller. Yes. Thank you. Attachment d page 24 yes. Shadow analysis. No problem. Im going to pull up page 24 now. Sfgovtv can you put the laptop screen up . We are on page 24 with a table. Is this when you are asking for . No. It says on the bottom. Page 24 project shadow characteristic . Yes. That page is visible. I will story your time now. Good ahead. Thank you. Commissioners, this study as you see here states the effective shadow cast on plant system in the covered under section 295. This claim knead in the shadow study is false. Section 295 states any adverse impact on the use of property under jurisdiction of rec and park. Community guardinpen is park property and used for agriculture and to raise [inaudible] bees plants and beeings require sunlight it tloif and affect of shadow and plant and bee is quantity ~ifiable. This is not use excluded. There is one shadow involving a Community Garden ever this was settled. Just because the effective shadow on agricultural use was not needed before that does not money it it is in the required per section 295. The City Attorney was advised of this prior to today. We insist on an opinion is section 225 consider shadow on agricultural use of park property. The sake of this garden and future hearings. This hearing must stop the shadow study is i fraud and does in the quantify as required to do so. Commission, police consult with mr. [inaudible] thank you. Thank you, caller. Sfgovtv you can take the image down. Thank you thank you ashley for going above and beyond. Why sure. Next speaker. Hello im patrice. I live 2 blocks from the proposed project. I lived in this neighborhood for 27 years. Im a street parker. And in the last 56 years got more and more difficult to foinld a place to park. A bodies with this many units and no parking is unarc tenable. They have to add parking to this building. It will impact the people who already live here in i major way that it is in the fair. It is in the right. After the park i use that park every day. I love this park because it is so sunny. The shadow report shows this it is break the sunlight ordinance. It cant you cant break laws thats why the ordinance is there so people had use the p can enjoy the sunshine. It is used by the community and children from the schools, it is used from people from outside the neighborhood. It is used, families. It is just wrong to do this. And im very much against this project. The only way i would be for it if there were more market rate units and much lower to the ground and there was appropriate parking minimum 100 spaces. For the residence denials of the building. People drive cars here. It is not like new york city. San francisco, people drive cars and node to park there is already not enough parking in this neighborhood. Thank you. Thank you, patrice. Next speaker. Im sarah lookhart im a representative [inaudible] nonprofit that works to preserve low income naturally occurs housing for artists. In the bay area in San Francisco. And i am calling in support of the project in that the way it is designed, preserves 12 local artist in San Francisco [inaudible] and that you know while ideal world there would be enough parking and the shadow would not be [inaudible] on the garden. However, it it is much more change to find spaces to house people than plants. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Im ay potrero Resident Exit live a block away from the park and i [inaudible] [condition understand speaker] we need it all day. Having the sun at the park is essential [interference] 7 story park in the neighborhood. We have Elementary School next tot park and hundreds of children that use the park and the artists [inaudible]. The cost for having [inaudible]. We have [inaudible] thank you. Caller. Next speaker. Hi. Im jessica. I am a farm residence den and happy farm resident in support of the building i love the garden and the park. And the daily park user walking my dogs. We node it house human and animals here. I see so many unhoused People Living under the over pass. I think this is had they call that but if not you understand had im talking about. It is unacceptable and cruel. I watched people get up in the morning red their break firefighter and fishing poles. Make din are live their lives unhoused and living in between the busy streets. I have seen people get hit by cars dp lose lives or get extremely hurt buzz they live under the over pass. I cant in good conscious not speak to that. Parking will be a problem. I understand that. I also understand that in this culdesac a lot of people slope in the cars and relieve themselves on the street t. Is unacceptable. Every Tuesday Morning there is a food bank that takes up parking spots and it is you know it is a nice mayor for parking and dropping off the students and yet that happens. Every tuesday. Because people need it. I also think that more people around here that are living here will be safer. It is a culdesac. People do sleep in their cars. People im sorry your time is concluded. Thank you, jessica. Thank you. We have 3 more callers if there is anyone waiting dial star 3 to speak on this item. Next speaker. Im mary and im also resident at the farm. And i lived here 22 years and my deck looks out over the garden and at the park. Just a couple of things i lived here a number of years without a car and worked great because there is the bus system. I can get down to bart easily. I stopped doing that because the park was under utilized and dangerous to walk by it at night by myself. So00 eye think that having the building here, which i support, will bring more activity and encourage people to use the public trans port more. The other thing is before i moved here there was not the skate board park and there was huge trees between the school and the park and the trees casted shadows yet everyone accepted them because they were trees. Now the skate board park upon went in the trees died and cut down. And i want on to had jessica says about putting people in homes. And encourage everyone in San Francisco to put people above cars. We need to accept that this is a city that can get around without a car. So, yes to the building i hope you approve it. The shadows move. The garden can grow different crops and be used the same. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker. Hello. Im Theresa Dickenson a Community Gardener. And i like to point out a couple of things about our garden, this park. One is the morning sun is specifically [inaudible] [inaudible]. No matter what you [inaudible] morning sun [inaudible] the first thing they need [speaker breaking up]. This building prevents morning sun [inaudible]. Second low, there are [inaudible] we are [inaudible] several [inaudible] raising lots of bees and [inaudible] they will total low suffer and leave. To live under the east [inaudible] [speaker breaking up] i like to point out what has not been mentioned is this [inaudible] green bed under there and im sure it is in the very [inaudible] and i wonder if they considered the problem [inaudible] latch of all i like to point out this is unlike low to help the unhoused people [inaudible]. They cant [inaudible]. Please, dont allow this project to continue. Next speaker. Good morning, commissioners. I ask now refer to attachment d the shadow analysis. Look at page 18, table 2. Potrero del solshadow findings. First item is annual available sun. This is a very simple equation spelled out in the 89 park memo. Equals park area multiployed by hours of sun. Table lists park area as 190, 055 square feet and the table lists annual sunlight at 3, 721. 4 hours. Now, gettous your spreadsheet what you have and multiploy those 2 numbers together. Now you will see that the answer is different. Different than the one published in the report table. Their method is wrong. This number affects all other calculations in the report. Planning was notified of this by nikolas of Parks Department but Planning Department is way behind schedule. They dont finish review soon tell get penalized by the state. They are doing sloppy work and giving you this report with error in math and hoping that you dont notice. You cannot make a decision based on air faulty report would be unethical the hearing cannot continue. Send the report back to planning and ask nel to dot math correctly. When we have a study that is error free only then can we decide how Much Negative impact fwhlding would have on the park. Thank you, caller we have 6 raised hands. Hello. Good morning im annie novac i like to say i appreciate all the the comments so far that covered many item in support of the project. I agree regarding the benefits the building provides and additional housing. I like to focus on the botanical occurrence im a gardener nearing the 20th anniversary and garden in densely urban areas. Many development practical this is have sympathy for the situation while still in support of the dldzing the san bruno project will have a slight impact on the plants. One thingip point out the shape Study Commission shows no new shadow during winter and merchandise to author the growing season 85 of the garden will receive 8 to 12 hours of sun per day and taking account. Increased shade doing fall and 9 of the garden will never receive less than 7. 5 hours. For those vegetable crops a healingy pitchered sunlight and full son 6 hours or more of direct light. A seasonal period for a mall part 7 and a half to 8ed hours has impact. Fruit crops is when we are concern body like night shades. Can and do develop at this level of light. The increased shaddode will occur in the Early Morning i will address what theresa commented on. I understand that the Early Morning hours are person time for Vegetable Development fruit crops do most of the ripening in the afternoon the period the project will have no impact. Concern i have about Early Morning shade with [inaudible] or yours that receive frost. How frost canling theyre is in the a problem in this area. Im sorry your time has concluded. Thank you. Next speaker. Thank you. And my name is mary beth, im a long time coordinator at the Community Garden. Have been involved in the project and repeatedly disappointed by the disregard for the shadow impacts it must be said despite the free throws speaker speaking from new York Botanical garden and about thing in San Francisco would never prowl to do the same to her area. It it is important tong about the impacts not so many hours on one day but how many hours before and after that is pointed out by others not really dealt with. I want to make a couple points recreation and hope i have a couple extra seconds like many. Rec special Park Departments you are guardians of the citys precious resources and i ask that you do your job. Very simple low. There is no one doubting there is a housing cries but the rec and Park Department is in the to solve the housing crisis that exists. At all costs that is the language. And unfortunate this is the point we have been pushed where regular park and garden users cast as [inaudible] you know not caring about the you know homeless or the cost of housing. Rather than what we are which are ordinary San Francisco reds upon dent who is want nothing more than the right to use and appreciate the public open space, which is that you are the guardians and the stewards of so i ask rec and park to do the job and reject the plan because of the excessive shadow impacts. What point is it to have rule fist they are just broken. And what kind of precedent will this establish for other open space. And in a way that is what i forethis will be if this is looked at and open season on other vulnerable open paces and Community Gardens throughout the city. Unbuildable. Thank you im sorry your time is concluded. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Jury room hello im charles. Im a resident of the mission and strongly in support of this project. We are in the midst of a how doing shortage in the city in which every unit built is important. Especially below market rate like include in this project. I am tired of seeing my friends leave due to the housing crisis that make our city famous. Park and open spaces are important to the city so would we want to seize the opportunity to give over 200 new neighbors the opportunity to enjoy this park . I believe that the project will be a net good for both the neighborhood and the city. And i hope you move it forward. Prioritize new neighbors over shadow and parking occurrence. Thank you. Thank you, charles. Carol, are you there. Can you hear me . Yes. Im also participate i called on chris good, im [inaudible] son had spoke on the other half of the project sponsor. 2 things we are not [inaudible] bonus that was incorrectly stated. [inaudible] 2, i wanted to Adam Phillips did the shadow study is a participate you can ask him questions. Ela the planner and asked to be present and standing boy this entire time. Last point is that we did present a plan with 52 parking space the maximum we were allowed. And one change opposed to support based on that. Combebls say they need more parkments park that we cant do. It is not allowed. I want to be clear we have an option to the max amount of park. Thats really all i want to say. Thank you. Thank you, chris. Next speaker. Hi. Im liz and i limp cross from the school. That is adjacent to the park. On 25th street. Im very surprised bite comments im hearing. Im for more housing and taking care of homeless. I dont understand yet project has to be so large. 232 apartments and 29 will be affordable. Is that correct . Fair market value what is this . These houses are not going to be helping the homeless situation. This is what San Francisco is doing. They recall building things Developers Making money things are going through. Rents are high. They are building high rent facility. It is unfortunate this. Is a residential neighborhood. It is traditional low low income. We deal with traffic from the hospital and i feel like we are not taken in account the people who live in the neighborhood. Not the people who live in other neighborhoods. Dot project, make it smaller. Make it more affordable. How much money do you have to make. Thank you. Thank you, liz. I believe we have one more caller. Next speaker. Hello. Down to 2 items. Does this new montrosity cast more then and there one percent new shadow. Obviously it does. It show this is in the report a lot more shadow. Way more than 1 . Then does this project offer any Community Good . Well, building housing but the project has chosen to pay an fee rather than the acquired Affordable Housing. I would like to reminds the Park Commission to refer to City Attorney opinion 8421 in relation to prop j the City Attorney opinions that you cannot pay cash for shadow. And in this case, you cannot pay in lieu fee to off set shadow. Therefore, the City Attorney opinion, this project would offer no Community Good. With no Community Good provided, and the shouldedo increase of more than 4 times the allowed amount, the commission is required rule that this project does have a negative affect on the park. Commissioners, please, protect our parks. Thank you. Thank you, caller. Okay. Before i close Public Comment im going to double check ghn room 416 who has not commented yet come on up. Thank you. Im bob. Im with multistudio the lead architect for the project. I have been a 40 year residents and architect over 40 years resident and architect in San Francisco. I want to point out we careful low designed the build to stay in the same shadow a 40 foot building would create the tall are parts away from the park. Stepped the facade to find the balance with providing units and minimizing shadow. The 1 is a guide line not a rule. And the general comment i do believe that parks and buildings can Work Together to the benefit of the p and the building. To the park eyeos it approximate activation and the building the units will have access to light and air. That is i good thing i thought as an urbannist and architect that is i positive. I think this project we tried hard and achieve says a balance that is worth supporting. Appreciate the time. Thank you. Thank you. Look like one more raised hand. You have 2 minutes to speak. And go ahead and unmute the line. Hello there, commissioners. Im calling from potrero del solpark right now. And im with my dogs inspecting as i am on most days sitting on the hill watching the skaters. I look southeast i see mr. Good building 14 [inaudible] san bruno. His wall facing in the park is all cover in the graffiti not aingly all over it it is like this all the time. Me he never clone its up and i see mr. Goods other building 1499 potrero. His wall [inaudible]. Big mess. I report this all the time on 311 he does not clone it up. Live in new york city. Does not care about our park. If it were mow and i have an important hear with parks i would have med an effort to clean it up today. Not him. Not mr. Big shot new york that shows how little mr. Good thinks of Park Commission. He is a bad neighbor to the park now will make a bigger building will be a worse neighbor. Today you deciding if this project offers any Community Good. Im here to tell you for certain no good will come from it. Thank you. Thank you, caller. I believe we have no further comment. Either in person or on our line. So seeing no comment, Public Comment is closed. Commissioners. Commissioner jupiterjones. Thank you all for what working through that. So, this is my whole neighborhood. I grew up as a child. I went to school at now bryant school. My children went there when it was there. The i all of the Community Organizations i work for we use this park a lot. Okay. Also as a lifelong resident of the mission. We dont have a lot of open spaces in our neighborhood so im fierce low protect i feel a fierce protection for every square inch of open, green and public space we have here. So, you know, all the issues that were raised there is a lot. A contentious issue about housing and all the needs we have in our city for me, you know here as a rec and Park Department we are here today to decide if the shadow the increased shadow impact of this project will have a negative impact on this park. And in that also weighing if the Community Good and benefit of the project would be worth accepting the new impact. Im coming from the perspective of not new potential neighbors to the neighborhood im coming from the perspective of current neighbors who is here. I see this park every day. I see how it gets used. Used by our families and latino families who have been the most displaced in our neighborhood who need the housing the most. It gets used by unhoused members of our communities. Used by the schools. There are 2 schools right there up against the park. Multiple preschools and Community Centers and after School Center in a block radius that uses the park now. That population i dont think is going to be the population who gets housed in this 92 development. For me, im standing on the side of those folks of that side of our community. I think that the shadow is big enough. We had these issues come before us it is adding a small percentage this is in the that case. This is going to adverse low affect the total shadow and affect like specific Program Parts with the garden and the theatre. And its so for me if this project was 100 Affordable Housing if it was a shelter for unhoused folks i would think twice. I dont think the benefit of the project is worth the impact tell have and not serve the same folks who are now served by the beautiful sun lit park that we have. And so i dont in good conscious cannot support the project. Thank you, commissioner. Commissioners any questions for chris or ela at this time . Commissioner buell had to step out i would like to give my point of view on this topic. We heard about the quantitative numbers. Percentages. The thing harings more true to me is the qualitative. I money the activities that are impacted by shadow. And by activities i dont mean like the stroll through the park. Or finding a patch of sun to have a sandwich or to tan yourself whatever. When i talk about activity, i talk about the activity of play ground might provide. Now, this childrens play area we saw earlier and the presentation from chris and ela, number 10 that childrens play area is total low unaffected by shadow. Also rolfe park number 2 diamond, which it is opposite the clubhouse in rolfe. There is already an existing shadow there and that will be extended only upon slight low. Also the play grounds, sport courts of rolfe are unaffected. Notice when i hear about parking, i live in thein are sunset. And i can identify with that issue. It seems that you need an act of congress sometime in my neighborhood to find a parking place. I get that. But also regarding that 1989 memo that chris presented, which identified a criteria for determining whether a shadow impact on a park is significant including time of day, when the shadow appears and, time of year, size of the shadow and duration of the shadow. The last part of that memorandum is the public good served by the project. And. Although im coming from the point of view that im just addressing the shadow issue today. In the long run, i also look at the lack of housing in San Francisco and i think the public good of this project would be impactful in that neighborhood. And a very positive way. Any other comments or questions, commissioners . Ashley i will ask for a roll call vote unless there are some. Commissioner mazzola. I would like to echo your statements there. And say that the places tht shadows are not going to affect where the people be the most. When you look at this, as just the shadow issue, i dont think the shadow issue is enough to turn had job down today. I did listen to Public Comment and i agree on some of things it is parking is one and that can be taken up at planning anded board of supervisors as far as today with the shadow i agree with commissioner hallisy and i will vote to sends this forward. Id like to also echo my support for what commissioner hallisy said. While im sensitive to the shadow issue, i just look at the housing crisis as manage had is out of control. And as commissioner mazzola brought up, the parking issue is legitimate however this is not part of our forty and this has to be taken up at planning and the board of supervisors. I will vote to move this project forward. Thank you. Commissioner loule. Go ahead. It is always difficult and you dont want to put yourself in a position you we out always housing versus parking versus shadow. But thank you to the architect who came and spoke last to explain that you designed a project according to the regulations. And i grew up in parks and go to parks with lots of shadows the thing is like i look at willie wong in china town has so much shadow but doesnt affect the continue uses of that park. And there is a balance and thank you for presenting this is always not easy to be like voting on something. But yea. Im not going to blowup my conscious but i feel a need for housing. And i think that over time you know, they will uses is just something difficult upon so thank you, everyone. Thank you, commissioner. General manager ginsburg. Thank you commissioner. I want to reminds the commission grapples with this what is a really important and interesting policy debate on all sides. Irmented thank everybody who expressed their point of view today whether it be importance of Community Gardens and sunlight and open space or housing they are all worthy points. I do want to remind the commission of the role until this conversation. Right. The commissions j. W. Is to analyze president qualitative and quantitative criteria and hear from the public and have a context of the benefit benefits of a project. But we are not body not planning. And that regardless of how it decides and how you decide today, it is the Planning Commissions responsibility to weigh the interests. You are weigh nothing on the impacts as it relates to the park. And were you to find that the shadow does have an adverse impact you would instruct the department to share that with plan and the Planning Commission debateings these issues. You dont we in directly on a development project. You are offering input and advice to the Planning Commission. And what i would propose, since the debate feels so genuine from all sides that commissioners, if you like, regardless of the vote our staff can send we can send a letter to the Planning Commission not just summarizing your decision but the different points of view expressed so they have the most robust input they could have as the Planning Commission make this is decision. That would be good. Thank you very much for this. And we will take you up on that. Thank you. Commissioners i want to let you know that we need a motion on whether or not it will have significant can adverse impact and you vote on this motion. Im sorry could you repeat that the way that the language is written in the agenda you have to machine makes a motion whether it does have a significant adverse impact or does not. And you will vote on that. All right. I like to make a motion that i dont believe the shadow will have an adverse impact on the project. Second. Aye. Now i would like to have a roll call vote.
