Great question tim fry Department Staff in the 2014 2015 staff well start engaging the public and the process conservatively it will take a couple of years. Along with the recreation and upper Design Elements there are friendly policies that are in all the elements so there isnt anything to preclude us to adding anything to what were drafted and showing you today.
Preservation policies and the preservation element which im going to turnover to tim for a quick update. Commissioners tim freeway i dont want to deviate from the told me before you but i wanted to talk about 9 preservation element where that stands and many of you dont know or arent aware of the draft preservation element for the city. The city contracted with Architecture Resources Group to prepare the element and in 2008, 89 it went through reviews with the prejudice board and all the changes were incorporated and at the end of 2008 the city charter was amended and now we have the preservation historic commission. At that time, we realized that a pretty substantial of Environmental Review will have to occur because we didnt have funding at that time or subject years but the good news is in the most recent budget we werent able to talk about we have proposed funding to revive did discuss about the prejudice element and start engaging this commission and the public on what that preser
Forces. After that we went into a Community Base we worked with 27 groups with the parks hallway lines and had focused groups and went in the Advisory Council committee we went to the Recreation Parks Commission and the Planning Commission weve been there five or six times and weve had industries meeting and oneonone meetings. So just to kind of step back a little bit and explain what is the general plan and whats its role.

This is an element that it was done in 2006 and the high level documents set a vision around 20 years this is outofdate par r theyre not planning codes or law everybody wants to get specific and interpret words in different ways and make it as good as they can but sometimes, it gets stuck in the process and it can be really challenging to make the differentiation between code and policy. This i
Did discuss about the prejudice element and start engaging this commission and the public on what that preservation element should contain. We will start having conversations and well talk about the spovp and maybe well be able to have that broader decision but we see the logical reason to add that to the open space element. So if you have any questions about the prejudice element ill be happy to answer them after susan presentation. We shared the draft presentations with architecture heritage in San Francisco. I see that ms. Smith from the architecture heritage is in the audience i dont know if her comments represent the Architecture Group but she can respond to the draft policies. With that, ill let sue take over and if you have any questions, ill be happy to answer them so to kind of wrap up up the schedule for this element.
