American swedish hall. Second. Commissioners, before the Commission Secretary chiems in, would you want to include in that resolution direction to staff to amend the character defining features indicated by commissioners pearlman and johnck, i dont know if there is anything you want to add about the Plaque Program or changing in the designation . I think we are going to wait. I would say yes, we would include you the additional changes that commissioner pearlman mentioned but the name of the designation, maybe well ask staff to investigate whether thats the swedish american hall feels its appropriate. Is that amenable to the second . Yes. Thank you. Okay, then commissioners if there is nothing further there is a motion and second to adopt a recommendation to initiate this landmark designation as amended to include the double gate as a character of defining feeter, on that motion, commissioner johns, wolf ram and commissioner hasz. That passes unanimously 70 and places you on item no. 7

Committee member supervisor avalos did have some comments about San Franciscos program in relationship to other programs throughout the state of california and the types of properties that took advantage of the program as compared to cities and San Francisco and did comment as to whether or not the properties applying for the mills act this year were in truly need of a property tax break.

Everybody is saying about the report. I have worked in the area for many years and i think it was dylan said how to neighborhood is changing and the shocking comparison of this building to i think its called the lumina down at the head of dolores street with whats happening along the street is so stark and startling that i did have one comment.
