In place to fast track that, thats something id like to look at. Yes, supervisor, thats a complaint we do have often from the Supervisors Office and applicants. We do have a program called cb three peat. If you do meet certain criteria, with you expedite your petition. Not all uses meet that petition. If youre massage use, formula retail, we dont expedite those. It is a limited program, but we have had success with it. We are looking for ways to speed that up, especially for smaller businesses. Okay. Any other further questions, comments . I think theres a lot of work were going to have to do internally on this issue. At this point, im going to turn it over to Public Comment. If not, if i dont call your name, just come on up. Anyone who wants to come up and speak, please come to the podium. Good afternoon, supervisor, first of all, id like to say congratulations to supervisor tifani for being appointed to district 2. I think you can do a fabulous job, and thank you for being there. Its
Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is deidre vonne rock. I am the president of the rest portal rock merchants association. While im proud that we have the lowest vacancy, that is not how it appears on an objective view. In west portal, absentee land lowers who have no interest in the block of a huge problem. For example, we had a discussion in anchoring a project on the west tunnel because they were still collecting rent on a formula retailer. We had a radio shack that sat vacant for years because the owner wanted another radio shack. Finally, verizon showed some interest in it, but its been meyered in planning for well over a year. Just recently, one of the owners of the four buildings where three of our businesses recently has been devastated has been unresponsive, delaying the Recovery Efforts of all the other businesses. The Merchant Association is often asked about the status of the vacancies and what can be done, and our answer is nothing. Not until there is anymore enforcement
Supervisor fewer yes, ill be very brief. Supervisor yee, ill be very happy to work with you on more aggressive tactics. And also, i did not hear from oewd that icon staptly hear from my Small Businesses is that they are having a harder and harder time getting employees to work in their stores. Many of our businesses have wanted signs, and the retension rate is abysmal. They cant keep people working in their Small Businesses because they cant compete with the wages, and quite frankly people arent willing to come in two hours to a job that pays 15 an hour, so id like that addressed at our next hearing, also. Thank you. Thank you very much. So much to say. I will just concur with my colleagues, and at this time i think i heard that we would like to continue items 1 actually, lets just continue item 1 to the call of the chair, and then, item 2, let ease file that one, if thats okay. Okay. Well do that, supervisor kim, without objection, okay . Those motions are passed with supervisor safai
Thank you very much for allowing me to walk you through, excuse me, the nomination. Most of the purpose of this is to show you some photos, as youll hear the Planning Department didnt receive the photos. And probably all of you could have written three quarters of the nomination from what you know about the building. Im not going to bother reading off all the bullet points here about the building. And really just try to concentrate on the photos. This is the entry portal which unfortunately in the 60s was modified and removed. It is a still characterdefining feature. Heres the building when viewed looking west on golden gate avenue. These are two of the most important character defining interior spaces above this. A mens gym and below in the basement is the Swimming Pool. The carpeted area in blue carpet. It covers the Swimming Pool, which is still there because tndc didnt need a Swimming Pool and couldnt operate one. This is the main lobby on the second floor looking down the grand st
