In addition there are specific procedural requirements and moratorium that are implemented through the Development Agreement. There would be a moratorium on new Development Agreements by aau from one year of the Development Agreement to give the the city a pause on any Development Activity other than thats contemplated by this deal. Theres a moratorium on signage proposals for two years after the scheduled performance is completed so two years after the work is done, there would be a ban on proposing new signs to its properties that are subject to this Development Agreement. Theres a 30day Development Agreement. There are several system improvements. Im almost done. Theres a payment of 1. 5 million fee to the sfmta. All this i think goes towards the academys policy of not allowing students to park anywhere. Or not to have parking spaces. So all students dont have parking provided by the academy and the shuttle system is there for them to use. The academys campus as andrew mentioned, we are consolidating the campus, reducing the number of buildings from 40 to 34. We are vacating nine academy sites. And there are three buildings that well be renovating. Two are beautiful historic buildings. The Concordia Club and 1946 van ness. They will be used by the academy. The academy has to complete all this work per a scheduled performance that is identified in a Development Agreement. And finally weve read the comments received by the commission as well and we take them extremely seriously. We understand the concerns about the signage on the jackson street property. We note the signs proposed are about a quarter of the size thats permitted so both on frontages per the code you can have a sign thats bigger than what is proposed. However, we understand that this is an issue the community will want to have neighbors that are happy with au. So we would like to work out an arrangement that would result in signage proposal that is more minimal to the neighbors. We understand that theres concerns about the lighting in particular and we can discuss the hours of operation of the lighting which we open could be a good way of reaching common ground. So im here and thank you very much. Thank you very much. So with that we will take up Public Comment. Do we have speaker cards . Okay. We have chris schafer, chris martin, peter clark and marlene morgans. Hi. Pull down your mic please. I will. Hello commissioners. And i might need to introduce myself to those who dont know who i am for example commissioner diamond. Im probably the only person in this room who is an expert at living in the midst of a university and understanding the impact that a universe has on its neighbors. I live right in the middle of usf. And the University Terrace association is the only neighborhood in america that is totally surrounded on all four sides by a university. So thats one point to be made. And ive spoken here many times using the university of San Francisco as a model for being a good actor as a university. So for example right now they are building 606 student units right on their campus. They are not taking away housing from anybody else in the city. Student housing is actually Affordable Housing. And if a university does not build their own housing, they are taking that Housing Stock away. And theres approximately 50,000 students who live in San Francisco in some way. Now, we know they try to pack them in. And there are two situations. As a matter of fact, last year the Planning Commission in one of the few times you ever had a supervisor speak to you, they were speaking about a building that had been converted near the college. And the supervisors actually came because the neighbors were so upset which leads to the issue of student behavior. I realize that what we are here, we are doing a bunch of things about the building. But you are not attending to the people who are in about that building and what is a College Student . We actually a freshman is a student a College Freshman is a person who is learning how to drink. And you can understand all the socialization thats taking place as these people live next door to you. So first thing im going to say is the student is not a resident. A student bugs the residents. Students come and every this is for example the movein welcome day every august they move in, every january you have a new semester so you have a constant turnover in Students Learning how to behave which leads to another thing, oncampus students should have a code of conduct. This is what u sf requires, that whether they live on or off campus, there is the same code of conduct. They are clear. It is a contract made with the student. And there are consequences when students dont behave. Out at 10 00, et cetera. So you can understand that. So what i would request because we havent gone far enough in dealing with the behavior of students is that you have the resident advisor living onsite. Thank you maam. Your time is up. And aau neighborhood contact and to expand the benefits they make to their community. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening commissioners. My name is chris martin. In written testimony submitted earlier professor tom jones states the cannery located at 2801 leavenworth street is a considerable distance from any of the other core academy clusters. In fact, the cannery is the only parcel in the Fishermans Wharf cluster. I agree with professor jones, the cannery is a not a convenient location for students for transportation and should not be converted to academy uses. I have firsthand knowledge of the cannery. My family originally developed and operated the cannery for 40 years. I managed the cannery for most of that time and filled it with businesses that attracted locals as well as tourists. We put in nonchain retail stories movie theaters, museums, comedy clubs, sidewalk cafes and restaurants. For years the cannery accommodated street performers including Robin Williams and held lively free events including film festivals and Music Festivals and a farmers market. In 2007 we sold the cannery to a Real Estate Entity that had a San Francisco partner 2011 that entity forfeited the cannery to their lender thus allowing the Stevens Family to buy the property despite instruction from the department of planning not to purchase any additional properties. Today under Academy Management the cannery is a dead zone. No trespass sewn signs greet you when you enter. Access to the building is limited. Public restrooms are closed. Nearly all retail and restaurant spaces are vacant. Even the Academy Galleries have closed most of the time. It is tragic. A once vibrant complex that was designed for people to enjoy is bleak and empty. Its clear to me the academy is not capable of running the cannery as it was intended to operate. Inactive storefronts along jefferson and beach street create a dead zone. Reducing foot traffic and hurting businesses in the area. Further academy uses on the first and second levels of the cannery are contrary to the department of plannings Fishermans Wharf public realm plan and the architects vision to invigorate fisher marchs wharf with inviting acttivity. I spent years working to maintain the fishing industry and instill a sense of planning and authenticity in the wharf area. Your staff recommended it not as a academy use property. Preserve it in its intended use as a lively Retail Restaurant and entertainment landmark. Thank you. Thank you mr. Martin. Next speaker, please. Hello. Marlene morgans, neighborhood coalition. Yes. We are a neighborhood that is basically a good location for an Educational Institution. The proposal to concentrate a lot of the Institutional Uses onto van ness is a good idea. We believe that most of the activities of the academy can be conducted in the t zone going from new montgomery through sutter up to van ness. Thats the core. And its a good core. Its because its a major transportation corridor as well as being a good housing mix and major Institutional Uses. The problem with the academy of art if you look at what they have done over the last decade is theyve ended up instead of creating as the previous speaker has said a vibrant connection with the community, they just warehouse buildings particularly at the ground level. So theres no interaction with the community. When you look at van ness, right now we have three proposed uses for storing automobiles on van ness. No museum license no plan for any way for the community to go in and view the collection like you can at stanford and uc berkeley or other places that have university museums. But simply to warehouse them. So our first request is there should only be one licensed museum. And it doesnt even have a license. There should be a Program Students should be trained, Community Members should be trained. They should be open to the community. This can create a vibrant street for use. This other two proposals for the existing bakery it doesnt need to be additional car storage and another paint shop. I dont know how many students can be painting automobiles. Two automobile paint shops on van ness is ridiculous. That should be classrooms. It is a historic building. 950 van ness does not need to remain car storage. And when you consider 950 van ness is across the street from a hospital that has 2200 employees has no staff parking none. They have a vibrant for the academy to say they have to have a private parking garage for their faculty when we have 2200 hospital workers expected to get to work on transit is a slap in the face. Thats unacceptable. The plan for the development of 2550 van ness into 306 Student Housing units is a good plan. In general, some of the small outlying, small buildings like 1900 jackson. Okay. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Commissioners. My name is peter clark. Im a resident of 1880 jackson in Pacific Heights and have been for over 30 years. I live across the street from 1900 jackson. We pretty much found out about their plans by accident. They certainly took no steps to advise us of what they intended to do. We heard about the Planning Commission about this meeting. I and i couple others did you go through the documents and you have to go down three or four levels to find hidden in the fine print the proposal by the au to put signage on this building 6foot by 2foot illuminated signs on the jackson street faces. As andrew indicated over 50 of us have written in registering our complaint and our opposition to this move by the au. It is completely inconsistent with the character of the neighborhood. And i dont think there should be any reason why Pacific Heights cant be a neighborhood which will retain its character in the same way the mission must retain its character or the castro wants to retain its character. It is true that the aau has put forth an argument that they are operating a business at 1900 jackson, renting rooms to students they view to be a business. As such, if you read without interpretation the planning code, it would be compliance to have a 2foot by 6foot sign. I think in reality, though, what that planning code means is if you have a Small Business like small store or small dry cleaning business in the neighborhood providing services to the neighborhood such a sign would be appropriate. This sign is not. This is blatant commercial advertising, nothing more nothing less. And that sign should not be allowed to go up. We would be happy to meet with you. You should have met with us before. This is more evidence that the aau is not a Good Neighbor to the city. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker please. Hello, my name is terry maguire. Im with the Pacific HeightsResident Association board, but im speaking on my own behalf. Microphone please. My name is terry maguire. Im on the Pacific HeightsResident Association board, but im speaking on behalf of myself today, mainly because i really just something occurred to me that i think is very important. And maybe its been addressed already. But id like to make sure that it is. And that is these nine vacated properties. Were they adequately reviewed and included in this process or were they vacated and they are going to go to the benefit of the stevens totally marketrate possibly housing . This is an opportunity. Those vacated properties need to be focused on. Hopefully they are looked at looked upon as opportunities for the highest and best use for lowincome housing possibly within the city. As that occurred, maybe it has . Maybe it hasnt. But i would like to make sure it does occur. So i encourage you to make sure that it does occur. Thank you. Thank you mr. Maguire. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, commissioners. Still afternoon isnt it . The board of supervisors i served on the Land Use Committee for seven years. I was the chair for most of those years. 12, 13 14, 15 years ago we got this list of violations. A decade and a half ago here we are. Years later. How long did this operation continue . Did it start before getting the list which we asked the department to deal with. And by the way welcome back former administrator scott schafer. I know you are stuck with this. Thank you to all the members of the city who have tried to work with this issue and with these criminal activities. These are criminal activities. White collar criminals, budgetary things you have to consider but its criminal activity. Mrs. Stevens and her operation have been allowed to continue for all this time. And im not enough money because this is really all about money. Its about property its about the fact that this Educational Institution is a real estate operation. Its a visaissuing operation. Schools and colleges, aaccredittation acredation could pull the accreditation. I know plenty of people who have taught there. I know they resisted unionization. I was the president for the union at usf. I know what its like to fight for decent quality kind of people to come in and decent quality benefits for faculty. You know what usf, what weve done up there at usf and what we are doing through a real campus. This phony idea of a campus where you spread out and buy property and draw different shapes and say thats a campus, again i go back to your resume, mit i visited the harvard campus. I could barely walk, it was such a big campus. I know what mit looks like. Those are campuses. Usf is a campus. Even the property during that had to be sold during the depression because usf almost closed. They sold that land in between the Lone Mountain campus and the main campus. Please put 20 million more dollars. To me jones who was the former head of the housing some years ago has given you the document here showing you what the current calculation should be for recovering money for the 1843 beds being lost in 15 buildings. The calculation could be done. Ten buildings. They were low income apartments. Sro hotels and we already suffered 40 years ago with the loss of sro hotels that hurt the working class people. We know about that history going back. Thank you,. Bucks more is what we need to get. You received tom jones documents. Please go for the 20 million. Get it. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi im bobby coalman. It is an honor to follow the testimony of the former supervisor jake. And i was also struck by the direct observations of chris martin of the cannery. I am a graduate of columbia and stanford. And ive been active on land use issues since 1987 here in San Francisco. And i sympathize with the Planning Commission as you are asked to play a part in the approval process of a Settlement Agreement and Development Agreement under these circumstances. For those of us who have had experience of decades and look at the long view if you try to take a Restorative Justice approach to the academy of art and situations like this, it is unfortunate when you are asked to approve a piece of it when in the larger context you are actually in a way reinforcing some of the past transaggressive behavior that underlines how we get to this point. So these positions that have been articulated about the underutilizeation of these properties and the inadequacy of the financial settlements, these are in our face. These are actually two experiences that those of us who have been dealing with the issue for years are now looking at and saying really, is that all youve got . Youve got the piece in front of you but its in the context of serious objections to the Settlement Agreement that are going to persist. So my apologies to you as you face that aspect of it. The remedies that have to do with housing and the missed opportunity of the city are kind of a shame for those of us who look at it decade afterdeck aid and
