Matcha n more and a Small Business as much as shake shack or the lakers are a Small Business. They are a franchise business coming from new york city, trying to further gentrify the mission with gold leaf ice cream. This is not about competition or Small Business but rather what we should allow a community to be misled by opportunistic young men. You should do the right thing and have them submit honest paperwork so the city can actually understand whats going into our small area. Operator you have 16 questions remaining. Good evening. I am amy lu. I was born and raised in San Francisco and live in the portola district currently. I work for a company that supports Small Businesses. I support matcha n more and request that the commissions deny discretionary review and approve the application. Matcha n more is unique and a delicious dessert store. We should support Small Businesses in a pandemic like this and in a present time like this. Thank you for your time. Operator you have 15 questions remaining. Hi. My name is shane. Im a Business Owner in San Francisco. Im calling in support of matcha n more in support of having their application approved so they can dcontinue to open their business. If you deny their application, you will be setting a precedent in San Francisco for future Small Businesses that if theres a mistake on their application, they might as well not even open up. Blocking this business from moving forward is not how you operate a city. [inaudible] and do business in San Francisco, this isnt how you encourage businesses. Thank you. Operator you have 16 questions remaining. Hi. My name is albert, and i live in the sunset neighborhood, and im calling in support of garden creamery and approve of the discretionary review. I was once the general manager for a local boutique in hayes valley that was once owned by s. F. Natives and the store closed due to the neighborhood completely changing its support for small neighborhoods and small retailers. I would hate to see garden creamery losing its businesses over the establishment of large businesses. Thank you. Operator you have 15 questions remaining. Hi. My name is ike. Im from San Francisco. I believe that the d. R. Request from garden creamery is based on bullish claims. It doesnt have anything to do with the city or character of the mission. The d. R. Requester, what theyre trying to do is just delay matcha n more so they can take control of market shares and eliminate competition. Li friendly competition is good for the consumer. It helps give a variety of goods to the consumers in the community. It also gives Small Business owners an opportunity to chase their dreams. Approve matcha n more. Thank you. Operator you have 14 questions remaining. Hello. Hi. My name is joel, and i live in district 5, and i am in support of matcha n more going into the mission district. Im just really ashamed at garden whatever they are creamery for doing what theyre doing. I think its really shameful for them to do that. I think its because theyre scared of the competition. If theyre very scared of the competition, like, maybe sthey should up their game. Matcha n more and a fairly good company, i think, and when they say were gentrifying the mission district, its already been happening, and it is going to happen, so stop complaining and just push it through. Thank you. Operator you have 13 questions remaining. Hi. My name is lawrence lee, and im born and raised . San francisco. I highly support matcha n more and i urge the commission to deny the d. R. And support matcha n more. Allowing new ice cream shops to open will create a more diverse menu, nard menu, in order to better serve the community. Please allow matcha n more and toep so its neighbors and residents may have a choice of what they would prefer to eat. I respectfully urge you, the planning committee, to allow a new Small Business to end the community. Thank you. Operator you have 13 questions remaining. Hi. My name is kricristen, and i l in San Francisco. I respectfully ask you to deny the d. R. And accept the application. It does not make sense if d. R. Is approved. I love ice cream, so anymore ice cream in the area will just be better, and i dont believe this is this is in the Mission Districts plan. Thank you. Operator you have ten questions remaining. Hello. My name is helen yu, and ive been a resident of San Francisco for over ten years. Im calling in support of garden creamery and the approval of the discretionary review. This is about a business, matcha n more, that did not submit a proper application. I request the Planning Department deny the application of matcha n more and grant discretionary review. Thank you.

I would like to support garden creamery and request that the commission approve the discretionary review and deny the application of matcha n more. I think theres too many ice cream shops in that intersection. If you really want diversity in that neighborhood, you can approve other businesses in the neighborhood other than ice cream. The only people thats benefiting is not the community, its [inaudible] so that everybody has access to ice cream. Its not even about commission, its providing something to the community. Thank you. Operator you have eight questions remaining. Hello. I am against the discretionary review. Im about ten minutes walking from oat is someone talking . Clerk no, you are, sir. You have the floor. Okay. I guess the discretionary review was about a tenminute walk from both businesses. I feel the same as sharkey. Its a vacant unit thatll result in tenant improvements. If, indeed, theres too much ice cream in that area, one of the businesses will have to find a better location. Thank you. Operator you have eight questions remaining. Hi. Im renee florez, born and raised in San Francisco, and im a Small Business owner in the mission. I respectfully request that you approve garden creamerys discretionary request and that matcha n more should submit the correct paperwork with the correct information. You need to support home grown businesses of San Francisco. The slander and racial epithets that garden creamery is receiving is concerning to me, especially where the mission is mostly latin based. The defamation of garden creamery seems unethical. Like spike lee says, do the right thing. Operator you have six questions remaining. Hi. Cal here. I live in the dogpatch. I cant believe that during a Global Pandemic and protest against police brutality, San Francisco is wasting its time on an ice cream fight between two businesses. Deny the d. R. , let matcha n more open. This is absolutely ridiculous. I yield my time. Clerk members of the public, if youre not speaking operator you have five questions remaining. [inaudible] im a resident of hayes valley. Im calling in support of matcha n more as San Francisco supports the entrepreneurial spirit and they support that, instead of blocking businesses that thwarts locals choice. Thank you so much. I yield my time. Operator you have four questions remaining. Hi. My name is cane and im a frequent walker past the site. I support matcha n more and request the d. R. Be denied. My understanding is this site has been vacant and dead for a decade, and frankly, we are very fortunate that we have businesses wanting to open given everything thats happening right now, and i think the Community Benefits from increased foot traffic, from families gathering there, and from improvements to the local business world, so i thank you for taking the time. Thank you. Operator you have three questions remaining. Good evening. My name is gina. I am from San Francisco. I respectfully ask you to approve garden creamerys discretionary review and deny matcha n mores application. I believe that aaron and donnie have helped Small Businesses in San Francisco. I truly believe that matcha n more will [inaudible] diversity in the mission. Thank you. Operator you have four questions remaining. Good evening. My name is ana, and i reside in San Francisco. Im calling in to support matcha n more. Garden creamery is already a staple in the mission community, and they should share its passion with those who want to spread their love for ice cream. I believe that matcha n more will be beneficial to the community and provide more diversity to the community. Therefore, i urge the commission to deny d. R. And approve the application. Thank you. Operator you have five questions remaining. Hello. My name is bob, and i live five blocks. Im calling to oppose discretionary review. T [please stand by] he deserves to be a entrepreneur in San Francisco and deny the cres ar the discrey review. You have three questions remaining . Hi, everybody, my name is chris and i used to live in the if i want to express my report and deny an application and is after a few years of patron age, ive gotten to know the owners of garden creameries and i know they scare deeply for the community and valuable business practice and honest business practice and Instagram Page and to shift the narrative and call them racist in this climate when that was not the intention at all, they have no ill intention and its not about any sort of competition and its straight forward and its very about diversity in this space and theres a lot of competition for ice cream and for macha in the city so i believe that with this vacant space, even if they were you have two questions remaining. Hi, my name is sam and i am in the mission and i strongly oppose the and i should have to pay money and waste time and spend money on lawyers and the who thwhole process is ridiculo. Thank you. You have one question remaining. I hi support the new business and ill leave some bad yelp reviews. Thank you. I have one question remaining. You have zero questions remaining. Very good commissioners, that will conclude the Public Comment portion of this hearing. I dont know about you, but at the end of this hearing im going to have some ice cream. The commissioners, the matter is before you. Is the representative, were they able to get back on so they can finish their two minutes . You are fantastic and i apologize. Mr. Williams, you do have about a minute and 50 seconds if you feel it necessary to speak at this time and well go into rebuttal. Lets go straight to rebuttal. I dont think this is the purpose of the d. R. Process and of which im very familiar, obviously. Theres been no standard of the planning code and not met by the application identified and no impacts of any kind have been identified. The objects to the project made in the d. R. Application as are disingenuous as filing it under a fake name and then claiming you didnt file it under a fake name. Ive had the commissioners look at exhibit 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18 and 21 where the d. R. Applicant continued to use the fake name for three months and then filed a declaration with this commission claiming they had done it in error so we can go straight to rebuttal as far as im concerned. That was the rebuttal. All right. D. R. Requester, you have two minutes for your rebuttal. Hello. Yes. Am i on . You are. Your time is running. This is my rebuttal. This is not about anticompetition, this is about misrepresenttation on forms to the planning and to the public. The commission should not reward bad players who misrepresent sent their intentions to the city and community or use hate speech to forward their agenda. Its unclear why the project sponsor committed perjury twice. Even if they represented a business they would likely qualify for a retailer. I can only speculate that the will full misrepresenttation driven by the desire to expedite the application process as well as avoid public scrutiny. Applicants are human and mistakes happen but given the evidence in this case, they committed perjury and their arguizations towards me are unfound and theyre trying to throw all of us off their true intentions. Review my submission and draw your own commission. They consider taking the d. R. And denying the application. They should not prosper by misleading the public and i take the d. R. And denying the application you are sending a clear message to bad players. If you are a bad player and do not follow the process, you have to start over and please accept this d. R. And deny the application. Have the applicant start over with the new application and submit on the paperwork for the Planning Department and public. Thank you. Thank you. Ok. Commissioners, and again, i do apologize for overlooking that thank you, commissioners diamond for reminding me. Now the matter is before you, commissioners. Im going to get some ice cream. While you get some ice cream, im supportive of staffs recommendation to not take d. R. And approve. Commissioner moore. Im in support and i make a motion to not take d. R. And approved. Second. Seeing no additional comments and deliberations from the commission, there is a motion that has been seconded to not take d. R. And approve ice cream. On that motion, commissioner chan aye. Diamond. Aye. Fung. He is getting on the screen. Aye. Aye. Commissioner johnson. Aye. Moore. Aye. Koppel. Aye. And i do apologize, it is getting a little bit late. Along those lines, commissioners, that will allow us to move to items 19, 18a and b have been continued. So item 19, case number 2017013959drp170 are you prepared to make your presentation . Yes, i am. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening, president koppel and members of the commission. David winslow, staff architect. Before you is a public initiated request for discretionarily view of Building Permit applications 2017 and 1023 can i interrupt. I need to make a disclosure before you continue with this item. Sure. Im sorry about that. I just wanted to disclose that the architect for this project, louis butler, is someone who i have retained to perform personal Architecture Services for my house. I do not believe that that relationship will have any impact on my ability to remain impartial as i hear this matter. Very good. Thank you. I do apologize. I had that note. Im sorry about that. I want to disclose that the you need to mute someones mic who is watching on a delayed broadcast, thank you. Go ahead. Thank you.

The proposed alternatives include respecting front set backs, respecting set backs for planning code section 133 for the sites at becks and 134 for the rear set backs. Reduce expansion to the rear and incorporate traditional Design Competition and the elements. To date, the department has received one letter in opposition to the project and six letters in support. Considering the d. R. Request this project was reviewed by the residential design advisory and the siding is consistent with the front, side and rear set backs and code comfy ploy ant witcode compliantand the threef the street is consistent with other buildings on this block. The building massing and siding restains light and visual access to the common open space from adjacent properties and and the views are not protected by the Department Planning code and policies and lastly, the application sin intended to result in designs that are compatible with the patterns of the existing context not to imitator recreate previous historical styles.
