Im reading a very interesting book it was published maybe thirty years ago on chiropractor bucking will i the blind boss of San Francisco and about the period from the 18 percent 50s to 1890 among the things discussed with the consolidation act of 1956 that was the time when the city and county of San Francisco were consolidated into one unit and fortunately part of that San Francisco was extended to the line between what is now San Mateo County and sacking county was eliminated and the line for San Francisco county was established where it currently is and has by a do effects as we now realize were constricted in our land at that time that was lots of land that is now San Francisco and there was a fear that the smaller town for identification what is now San Mateo County would be a burden they especially\want to have to deal with instead of having a separate county in a straight decide for efficient to combine the two sometimes efficiency is a great thing but hindsight is always 50 50 but no way of knowing done at a state level and certainly something that what about revisited in the city any unincorporated county part of the San Francisco might not be the worst thing to pursue we ask we adjourn today unfortunately jim meekly could i think other commissioners want to make remarks and rosa are a was the leader of a wonderful institution it this i would have the skills in english for pupils and vocal training that was a wonderful thing she was a wonderful san franciscan for the Mission District so adjourn in here memory. Commissioner moore. Id like to ask that we close in memory of jim meekly could today he passed away on the evening of august 3rd and all of us including many of the people in the audience everybody knew jim he spoke passionately in front of that commission on many many issues effecting the community and very recently he spoke on an issue the 5 foot commercial retail space in the fulsome corridor he hope we find a way i dont have the the evidence will then show but to dedicate those 5 feet to the jim meekly could who was 5 feet jim was a Tireless Community leader in support ever everything south of market and spoke on the Entertainment Commission it was critical the continuation of ballets by the entertainment users would stay south of market he served on the chip council his hand is very, very visual in the selma western Selma Community he was a member of the San Francisco Neighborhood Network for about his it was extremely important to collective speaking of the neighborhood in front of us he was a county organizer i personally like the word the chronicle they called him a Community Hero in 2011 pdr was big on his list the continuation of Small Businesses and the perpetuation of artists south of market jim was a supporter of the use in the family zone at this point was a quiet voice to help them really stand in front of of us with their support to be heard and i couldnt i could speak about him in so many ways we all remember him it was recently, i see him being here it is hard for me to know hes not here anymore. Commissioner richards. Yeah. Id like to piggyback on what commissioner moore said for those who want to look at jim it is an page 11 in the reporter and points on how i felt about jim we almost agreed on everything he came from a place it was hard to follow his heart he had the Community Spirit in mind im proud to call him a member of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenders some times that was hard to deal with we spared on the garages on fulsome street and fortunately, we voted to put them on the alley he had a conversation he understood what i we were coming from i think where south of market the western selma a huge part of jims for not i appreciate adjourning the meeting in his meeting and commissioner antonini is good at drawing parallels from seattle in a good way and a challenging way that San Francisco is just a number of cranes in the sky and theres still like us struggling keeping a vibrant struggle and a new vibrant city so i have one related important question for the Zoning Administrator sanchez it is yesterday maybe even as of latin last night how old were you.

I do have two speaker cards. Great, thank you. Georgia and john. Good afternoon, commissioners i have been here before talking about the alterations that are demos in noah valley ill talk about that but i think interest is something that is happening because of that those alterations that are demos a lot of those buildings are doing huge excavations called iceberg calm unfortunately, the area that is taking a hit the mid block open space heres one overhead please this is under construction now you can see all the cement back there because it dug down they have the basement area there the living space the bonus room and this well and upstairs this is all cement this is the close thing to see and the finished one i saw earlier in open house and it is just a patio mates like the easter rabbit grass you get in our Easter Basket that is kind of what is going on this is the blow back of the excavation were losing when i and you call the traditional mid block open space in our residential neighborhoods because in part because of the excavations the marketing is where theyre making the yard part of the house not a william thing you feel nature but well have this sort of extension of the house to charge for this is something ive noticed what i my suggest is the following the 311s needs more details and the plans in the 311s need more detail on the front of the 311 show the Square Footage of the increase sometimes hidden in the plants but hard to find i think the neighbors and you guys need to see that i think youre doing residential guidelines all those things have an are sort of should be looked at introduce the residential guideline performance so any incision you somehow put a hold on the alterations until your staff has the residential guidelines before you and before the neighborhood so we can see what the new residential guidelines are thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners im john your consortium id like to directing your attention this afternoon to the 2050 bryant project in the mission and in particular the proposed categorical exemption from the battle man review the exemptions are intended for projects that clearly are in substantial compliance with the zoning and overall zoning and continued of the district 2050 bryant is the simple largest parcel in the lou lou it is supposed to be a district intended to promote and vibrant mix of used for the formally Industrial Zone area tha this is what it says in our planning code when i look at the numbers youre getting a project that demolishes 65 feet of pdr space existing and provide none in a new project and instead would 98 percent residential now no literate human being in that room in the city or any court can look at those numbers and say therefore this project promotes and a a vibrant use and maintains the vibrant uses clearly clearly this project is a complete opposite of the u zoning is supposed to succeed and deliver we are on the table we dont bluff if this categorical exception is approved by this commission and huldz by appeal in by the board well take it to court it is claerlz not in substantial compliance well take to court we want to set an example that exemptions are not handed 80 out to developers their supposed to mean something the damage is real rule are your 5 m an amendments theyre the best parts of e. R. s but in a month or so clearly there is such a thing some of the pdrs can be are you presently employed and housing built there is objective a mixed use alternative not before you the reason is because theres a categorical exemption that was proposed you turn that project done and make them do it right well talk about a real project there thank you.
