Head to mayor lee. We cannot outlaw tragedy. End the year subdued. Im humbled to be here. Residents here in this chamber, charles pitt came in today, i got his name, when we had the police here, he said if empathy is to be a part of our police department, shouldnt we look for it when we do our hiring . Saying that were missing our water, and that should have been taken care of 10, 20, 30 years ago. Are we building, flushing, watering our plants still with pure water. Supervisor kim, graduates of the Navigation Systems do better when theyre relocated outside of their environments. Theres districts that dont want the Navigation Systems. But they should be able to handle the graduates. We need a new, realistic housing policy for the people in San Francisco, from the seniors, that the steps in their homes, they cant navigate anymore, to the seniors on only social security. From the renters that are stuck in homes that they cant move out of until they die and they have to die before the pro
Submit. Thank you. Clerk supervisor farrell . Councillor farrell thank you. I want to back up what supervisor cohen just said and supervisor breed. And now acting mayor breed said earlier. One thing i want to share with everyone. People ask us, what is your memory of mayor lee . And i want it share something from last thursday, which is the last time i saw him. We were at the Christmas Tree lighting at mclaren lodge, the official San Francisco Christmas Tree. I went up on stage with him. For the first time, my children came with me on stage for the first time. And my little guy, who just turned 5 years old, he thought that he was going to be the one to flip the switch and turn on the Christmas Tree lights. I told him that was not the case. Thats the mayors job and his prerogative to do so. Apparently the mayor heard me talking to him. And so when the mayor went up, he motioned to my son and they kind of held hands on top of each other and flipped the switch together with a bunch of oth
Our project has been described as massive, monolithic and out of character with its neighbors as an anomaly in an area dominated by smaller buildings. The facts dont bear this out. The diagram indicates in red the 4th stories of a large number of existing buildings in both the contiguous and surrounding blocks. The vast majority of these buildings contain four stories that represent 100 of their overall footprints with no setbacks at all. The appellants 2story building is indicated in yellow and you can see theres a partial 4th floor on the building next door to his building to the east. To the west, the corner building at lake and 27th avenue is 3 stories. But as steve mentioned, its capped by a roof ands that large floortofloor heights bringing the Building Height up to 37 feet. This is 3 feet below our proposed roof line. This is not atypical at all for the block, as many older buildings of 3 stories are in the range of 35 to 37 feet. A proposed 4th level is shown in blue behind the
Approval of demolition and replacement. The project was before the Planning Commission because 317 requires conditional approval for demolition. Joe purchased the house in 2015 from the estate of the former owner, who owneroccupied until his death in 2014. Its been vacant since of the Planning Commission found that there was all the relevant data. It is not subject to rent control and no tenants were or are being replaced. It replaces one unit with three and three bedrooms with eight bedrooms. It closely conforms to rm1 zoning and the period urban design. Appellants did not oppose demolition at the Planning Commission or here. They presented no evidence that the Planning Commission approved its description in approving demolition. What appellants are seeking is removal of the 4th floor, which would eliminate a familysize limit in violation of the housing act and the owners plan. They got everything they asked for except that 4th floor being eliminated. The Planning Department realized
