tears of joy. item 7, commissioner comments and questions. are there any? i would like to comment, a quick update about a sub committee for the task force we had pulled together in february and march. we did hold two meetings, we intended on holding three. for anyone that is paying attention to planning is, the western soma plan released its er and comments were due yesterday. we were trying to pull together the group began to see if we can formally comment as a subcommittee or even pass that along to the full commission. the meetings, we had could turn out the first meeting. we talked about housing, entertainment, the buffer zones that around or around the housing and we talked about transportation and the need for entertainment along routes of public transit. unfortunately, we could not formalize any recommendations and it is too late for the eir. i would like to dissolve the committee for the time being. i think we will have an opportunity when the actual plan goes up
it, or it was good to have a staff member from the planning department come out to clarify things. what i am proposing is let s dissolved it for now and when it comes back when it is agendaized and th part of the planning commission s process, we will get a notice and put this around whatever recommendations you want to make. does that make sense? it is dissolved for now. and reconvened later as needed. president newlin: ok. item #8, new business requests for future agenda items. i had a couple. i would like to hear about the lgbt historical district or leather historical district as it involves a lot of entertainment. i thought it would be great to have a presentation. since it involves so much entertainment it would be good to hear what they have in mind for that. with more information coming out about how to better modify sound, i was wondering if there was any way we could talk about preserving an outdoor patio is and making sound, talk about sound on outdoor pati
months in my office the health care services master plan. i wonder if you are familiar with that and if you have a position. i am not familiar enough to speak to it yet. supervisor campos: so you do not have a position either way at this point? supervisor alioto-pier, any questions? why don t we opened it up to public comment. thank you very much, commissioner. is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on this item? we see the president out of the planning commission. we have seen a lot of presidents today. it is great to see that. thank you. i was pleased with this appointment when it came up, for more than one reason. it is easy to be behind the gavel of the commission in san francisco when it is a full commission. we have been laboring a bit under an empty seat, i should say. we are busy. we are probably, to my knowledge, the only commission that meets weekly, and long hours, as you referred to before. each of you, commenting on previous items before
how that would apply to you and know whathe level of your holdit could create an issue, if you were to be on the planning commission. as you know, we always take part in the ethics training. i take it seriously, as i am sure you do. as you point out, there is a provision that does not allow you to participate in any vote if you are a property owner within 500 feet. you must recused yourself. with the port commission, that has come up. i have obviously always done that. if questionable, i have erred on the side of conservative. i respect that. i believe it is an important role, as well as the gifts rule. as far as my personal relationship, there probably would be less than two handfuls of occasions, properties in which that would take place. supervisor campos: do you have any concern that a major project, plan that is currently before or might be before the commission, that you would be precluded from being involved in? one question is the fisherman morph wharf s public h
planning commission. his family has a long and deep history in san francisco, one that has contributed to this city and what it is today. rodney was our border last year. he did that with the highest level of involvement and dedication and open mindedness. he has tremendous work ethic and a tremendous character. on many occasions we had issues that came before our board and he was always open minded, is a tremendous listener, and he always put san francisco first on any decision. he did not ever bring a personal agenda to the board, and that is critical. he is a tremendous listener, never came with a predetermined decisions. he understands the needs of our unique neighborhoods and small businesses of san francisco. but beyond being an arm to get advocate for san francisco, he has passions that can also help, whether it is the restoration of the angel island restoration station, working with lgbt rights, rodney has a passion for san francisco and would be a tremendous asset.
