commissioner antonini. >> all of the commissioners should have received figures i'm grateful to petersen on the staff for putting those together and forwarded to you the state controllers denims from february 9th of 2016 mac trairlz it is important to have those as we consider the missionary plan in the eastern neighborhoods and short versions of figures i asked to do to give us an accurate figure of how many housing units were analyzed in eastern neighborhoods as the number of units that could be produced under the environmental impact report and the amount of square footage with a pdr loss under the plan he gave me the preferred option that was the highest numbers above and i asked for how many of in terms of units how many units were entitled how many were under construction and completed i didn't bother with with somebody that pulled viral papers we're looking at ones with a higher probability of being completed we found out those numbers prosecute irish-american although, the number of units when you added them making the assumption of someone with an entitlement not the case as we know who is around 47 percent and the mission only 4 percent and this numbers for pdr loss were lower for eastern neighborhoods in full only about 25 percent and for the mission it was about 7 percent using those figures and the other can have 50 i do not when you read it you have 0 realize this includes projects entitled before the mission neighborhoods approval was completed and therefore or they were allowed to have a legalization they've been entitled under the zoning one m some of the ones that that counted as constructed actually had their approvals before eastern neighborhoods by in any case the bottom line it is relatively low and a coupled with the report that you'll read from mac taylor this shows a strong co-relation bye between the maefrts housing in a protecting neighborhood the displacement the more market-rate housing the lower the rate of displacement as much as 47 percent displacement possibilities if no building or low market-rate housing and we looked at any changes we're making and be careful to allow the actual housing that's been analyzed and is planned to have any effect the has been built so, anyway hopefully, these helps us when questions come up how much has been built and how much is in the pipeline so i think really very grateful to mr. petersen four public health department together the work on this. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> i wanted one item to note he read the small business commission last week this week and voted unanimously for the chance store ban on polk street. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further, we'll move on to department matters director's announcements. >> no new

of speaker cards (calling names). >> hello happy summer happy pride the collective mid block of private open space divided by property lines with allotting at mid market office space if so landscaped can provide habitat for others animal for the well-being those are your staffs words not mine the mid block open space needs to look at it when doing the residential design guidelines for preservation and protection rear yards shouldn't be cemented or fenced off but part of collective open space the water from those yards should percolate into the ounds noting sewer due to the landscaping and the interior part of exterior this needs guidelines and other residential design guidelines no big boxed on the rear and prevailing rooflines need consideration distinction between homes on hills and flat streets should be made clear and roof deck invade privacy and need greater space in light rail and setback for private and light and air. >> anothers matters related we want to commend talk about demolition overhead this is the neighborhood up in delores heights can i have the overhead thank you okay there it is there it is delores heights the facade and this is the rear this was poepdz tantamount to demolition but not clear tantamount to demolition on garages but as you can see the sawed of the house overhead please is gone this is tantamount to demolition this is here i've shown you these last week the alteration and this is a an alteration it is hard to discern the differences between those and these he wanted to raise that question of that issue and thank you and have a nice weekend happy summer. >> afternoon commissioners actually to place this on the overhead in i could i think we can kind of get both of them i better put on my glasses i'd like to voice any opposition to allowing the structurally sounds like dwelling units in all residential neighborhoods regardless of apparels it infiltrates the profiler and increasing our mooufrt is a developer driven rates the ideas that prices will only go as high as is market bears this is not 0 so prices will go as far as the specific active we see 24 better not to have an affordable market price it will go up as speculators try to beat it i brought this photo it was - i know an alteration around it was shocking to me i think this beautiful facade that remained while the back was torn down kept the neighbors from coming to the commission with the dr but i went back awhile later and found it facade that beautiful facade that remained the whole time was gone and this is what happened indefinitely tantamount to demolition nothing will keep it there the naturally concurring units that provide this affordable housing in areas you know great residential neighborhoods it is not the ones that are made to be expensive but families have bought homes and added units those units are rent-controlled units and affordable and the more we allow those to leave being added we get into a sorry - i have a few seconds we get into the higher and higher and higher and don't save the possibility of those affordable smaller units in our nice expensive neighborhoods thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon osie with the novs charm back in february february 14th of this year a board of appeals hearing where two planners if the planning department mr. winn slow and jocelyn introduced the task at hand that was updating the residential design guidelines that is in the process i'm here to request your port for having this particular units to work with individual community and neighborhood organizations so that it is not going to be a total surprises but a collaborative work and under the same model of what you're familiar with the sheritt that was used we the planning department to get the buy out from various organizations and community and neighborhoods associations that make sense to me to start the work as opposed to waiting for the new version to be disclosed and brought up to the planning commission and then start having various groups come to you and bringing ousted their feedback or opposition also another thing that mr. wentz slow brought up the planning department has realized that the residential design guidelines should be neighborhood based which is reasonable but at the same time it make sense that it the planning department is having go a neighborhood base for residential design guidelines let's work with each neighborhood and let's have a set of guidelines applicable to neighborhoods with the buy out for the neighborhood groups i'll appreciate if it you can put a plug with we want to work with the planning department's and in the process of contacting them and starting the work that's it thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon alison follow-up on commissioner antonini's comments i'm here to talk about the much anticipated eastern neighborhoods monitoring report as someone on the instant quest for development in the showcase square i've been looking forward to the report coming to you this spring the final report is pushed to august this week's cac meeting i heard pushed to october first of all, the monitoring report is a crucial document that severs as an evaluation of the successes and failures of the plan and a necessity in informing decisions by you and others policymakers this is a purpose of this monitoring program to provide rigorous review of the effectness of the eastern neighborhoods area plans to insure rational growth in those neighborhoods and to insure implementation of improvement to accompany the growth 1e8d a leg requirement to present the report to the board of supervisors planning commission, cac and the mayor by july 1st by august the planning department will be out of compliance many of us believe there is nothing rational about the growth in our neighborhoods more can we wait months for the analysis to be published we've seen the draft the data is worst than imagined the showcase square at the end of 201545 hundred residential units were in the pipeline and pipeline numbers do matter exactly two affordable units were constructed over 57 years while we lost over 5 hundred thousand square feet of pdr as a result of rezoning next month we'll be at the board of supervisors of the first of a string of appeals the piecemeal of individual projects without a big picture is not working you need this information to do your jobs planning and the n cac need to pull out the stops and get the report done and in you're hands thank you. >> okay. any additional - >> hello, i'm eric i think live only guy place mike. >> all right. let's try is this way so we have a medicaid waiver part design that is going to go into number 4 guy place some concerns about the design that was proposed that i got from a look at on the fence one of the main concerns on the hill despite the fact seven years into a drought that lot is wet if we're going to put up a retaining wall that sits up 4 feet to make that park with the street level the drainage issues on fulsome will be significant this is going to create a great deal of liability for the city i don't think the park should be designed turn the lower part of lot into a basketball court raise it ada compliance and guidelines the upper portion i'd like to keep the trees and turn the rest into a community garden now speaking about those trees going into the history of that hill it used to be a farm in the 1860s developed we have the last fruit bearing pieces of history possibly the last piece in the county maybe we should keep it. >> it would not cost us that much to maintain them and changing the park design to what a i propose will save the city money in maintenance and original installation i believe that's it i have for you oh, one other thing the dynamic of our neighborhood is changing a grateful we have a lot of new people coming in and the city as provided a budget low income housing in our neighborhood we have children and dogs but no place for those kids to learn to ride a bicycle maybe to good idea to create an open space for children and not just a meeting for businessmen at lunch thanks. >> hi, my name is jessica evans nice to see i was here 391 street shot them down and drawing board i know some of you walk up that street at first street and i look at the park is trees are magnificent and i didn't think about as far as to pour concrete won't work if you look at those trees there are two avocado trees and but if you walk up the streets i know some of you do and see how the neighborhood is changing guy place those trees are amazing but that space it's going to cost over 3 point something million dollars and back up for bid known wants that job but a bad ideas he's got kids i have a biennial and harley i thought i'd mix it up a little bit something we can use a barbecue, grass green stuff swings a really park it is concrete everything poisons animals and kids the safe the green xhup all words until i see action those trees are 80 feet tall and save them from the chopping block revisit the design you'll think maybe that won't work and they've changed the needs so you know all i have on my screens is from the traffic trees metropolitan me stay healthy and speeds - thanks a lot checking account the trees and the design for the mini park it is so small and real park what a shock and thank you for the 3090 first street decision 4 two seconds joking. >> i'm so desperate i want to get a song for the trees and is muni park that'll and. >> is there any additional public comment? >> my name is rick hall not prepared things swimming in my mind one thing i want to bring up the eastern neighborhoods monitoring recorded some drafts that are out now i encourage everything everybody who reviews and get in comments so hopefully have it be a clear document something told the other day i saw some references to the statutes through july one so i don't know how we'll do it by july one and also it are requires as part of it the supervisors require that it contain recommendations for basically fixing issues that have come up in the eastern neighborhoods plan and i was really, really haerlgdz by that if so it true because right now we know that there is issues with the eastern neighborhoods eir with the eastern neighborhoods plan itself as policy and the work that should be done to properly do this report should inform those decisions and help because there's a lot of noise coming we're getting fighting i don't understand projects one by one and have to look at the cumulative impacts and include i includes the associating economic and looking at buildings didn't work we may have a housing crisis everyone tries to promote that at least the developers do what we have is a gentrification criticize and the social economic side of the vaulting projects needs to be addressed in all future versions of eastern neighborhoods plan i thank public comment? >> okay public comment is closed. co-sponsor. >> i wanted to ask mr. swishing please to perhaps put your comments into an e-mail and send them i found them informative and thought provoking if you don't mind i'd like to share that would you mind doing it thank you very much. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> several things i guess ms. fowler i'll be interested in knowing the address of house that appeared and reappeared can you speak into the mike please. >> yes. that house is at the 52 homage instead. >> who's the developer. >> i know that the owner of property was mr. murphy but didn't investigate the whole background of it. >> thank you on the eastern neighborhoods monitoring report for potential delay any director any word on that. >> just is a question of getting the data and staffing. >> issues we're the hope to have it out in august in early august. >> if possible the public has a draft copy the staff can send us i think mr. hall one of the things you're talking about scrolling on any phone the vacant commissioners seat on boards there are vacancy on the eastern neighborhoods cac for district 10 and district 9 you might want to get yourself an application and get our supervisor to sponsor you they've had an issue are quorum and people showing up to the meetings i'll urge i to go to our supervisor and get a seat there are some that expired a long time ago so an attendance issue on the guy place park i did talk to phil ginsburg the director of rec and park happy to sit down with you folks and not the purview of this commission but talk with him and contact him okay. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further, we'll move on to to the regular calendar item 6 case this is the mission action plan 2020 informational update. >> good afternoon. commissioners department staff i'm joined by deputy kate hartley in the mayor's office of economic workforce development and from the mayor's office of economic workforce development there also a couple of community members rick hall and peter and from meta that will be engaging in map 2020. >> this is the orders of presentation last time i focused on the trends the objectives and is process today, you'll get an update on the solution and then i'm going to turn it over to to talk about my colleague to talk about the monitors of the plan and go over the next steps before we go into the updates i that would be helpful to be a sure understanding the challenge the change is not - is in the neighborhood is not a natural demographic change we should accept the data of the latinos and protecting to moderate is indicative it causes the red lynn and quality even if households moves are due to other households decisions bans the data is a change that is disruptive forceful and reluctance in class tensions what is referred as the double insult that networks in the 1950s and san jose and the forces of gentrification and displacement in the 1980s and today, we're not only looking at evictions and harassment and rents increases on commercial and residential tenants that is also in direct displacement being priced out of the neighborhood and being prevented into moving into the neighborhoods or loss of amenities that serve those households so we're looking at displacements of overall community displacement, in fact, san francisco deducting cares displacement a public health concern it is into the working-class areas that most of the time result in displacement the letter says i can have displacement without gentrification and maybe gentrification without displacement if you stabilize the neighborhood in southern situations it hard to know which ones come first both present the challenges of the identity of a community which is map 2020 and other cities are trying to stem the loss of it is essential for the functioning of the city as you recall from commissioners moore's last comments you have to do a job estimates and other examples a lot of businesses are closing they can't find workers what does that mean for the city's economy we'll have more staff definitions but an important understanding of the community responses to the crisis as well as the opposition to market-rate projects they often express i think i believe it is a relax from the suffering and the discern for the communities on to the plan status with the memo d did on june 2nd we forwarded the draft to help to address those collection issues i broths copies i believe you have but the slide has a snapshot there's a color key at the top their highlighted green on the i'm sorry. i'm trying to do this pointer actually didn't work on the left-hand side column some highlights color coding the green items means e means those are items we're moving forward in the plan and towards the last few pages of this matrix are highlighted red and yellow we discussed not moving forward with either because political or other challenges it is knowledge we discussed the sample of the things as you can see a lot of extensive details on the solutions who is leading the item and the timing and what's the magnitude of the cost and status and as the memo stated some programs the community has identified that are needed for focused more intentionally in the mission but sros and the fire issues that are more specific concerns to the neighborhood as opposed to the city we're implementing the 12-month items to get on the ground to address the immediate impacts of the housing crisis protections and business protections and enforcement and ready to go items in the magical matrix i bolted the columns to highlight the immediate solutions there also some ongoing and existing programs for example, mayor's office of housing and community development is continuing on small sites program and what we're continued to do working on items no consensus has reached or more desire for details before the community feels comfortable with to be routine by the planning commission, and may be acted upon by a single roll call vote endorsement and finalize progress and my colleague will talk about this more in a minute. >> tell me if i'm going too fast these are the items for which no consensus is reached we're proposing we work on those in the next one or two months i can't imagine one of the maps it 2020 between foe and early september 5th projects in the mission that will be 4 hundred units 20 percent of the pipeline out of 2000 units in the pipeline so the communities has been president us to - any recommendations for the neighborhood and also some zoning ideas and the what a lot of folks want to see for a lot of people the devil is in the details they want more details we're drafting out some of the zoning ideas and so for we are prioritizing the commercial measures that are listed at the top but some of the pdrs related once the other two are more medium term require a environmental review we're starting on those issues as well what is the sticking point as i mind earlier a lot of discussion what is the role of market-rate housing it is positive or negative on affordability and gentrification a lot of research and study just to kind of talk about some of the studies that are most talked about the controllers report talked about how market-rate helps and the crisis in the short time they didn't study the long term effects of that of market-rate housing didn't talk about the commercial impacts and a state report from the protective analyst it helps the process by which market-rate is affordable to protecting hours, however, some didn't look at the effects and when you couple market-rate the displacement are greater than if you have market-rate alone this report didn't look at commercial impacts and the berkley report in briefing also endorses that market-rate helps and the local conditions sometimes hurt or it can help they're continuing the prices don't trickle or filter they believe because of san francisco market a skewed but that that doesn't examine the commercial impact what's the market-rate those research should say more research is needed generally all the reports agree if market-rate helps regional and this is a especially helpful when accompanied by affordable housing but they also some of the studies say we shouldn't - we need to do more 0 stabilize neighborhoods another risk and more rather be at the block level and anecdotal evidence shows you - what are the recommendations we can spend a lot of time and wait for research i think that the best we week take a caution and reduce the projects - for the neighborhood and the city i think that commissioner bobby wilson spoke to that last week and if i may use the climatic change analysis discussions whether it is real or not but why not take procrastination and protect people and doing everything we can i think we know that the your discussing those issues in our review process and even if more research is done i don't think we'll come to an information to weigh the concerns and figure out in projects projects will doing the best they can for the affordability crisis i'm sorry to solving the housing crisis - since it is relative to the discussion i just outlined and my colleague will refer to this in relation to the communities and report back this particular piece of information was requested by commissioner antonini in light of the items i'm including it so everybody can see it for reference and answer more questions about the eastern neighborhoods rezoning and the environmental impact report now i'm going to turn it over to to my colleague. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm working for the meta and thank you claudia and planning department and appreciates these working and it's been almost 18 months of challenging but also very learning conversation with the city and understanding what are the points from the communities and understanding the constraints the legal, please political and economical constraints in the mission district i wanted to talk about the goal and i think it is before me to represent the community but also i want to recognize in the audience the people from the culture action with the artists have been adapt we're consistent in the goal those platoon is policies and programs that retain the working-class people and the latino people in the mission district one of the neighborhoods are more affected is displacement at the same time, we want to continue with small business and the pdrs and nonprofits in this community we want if san francisco is proud of the exist and had some neighborhoods like the immigrants to come we want to continue having the mission district as a working-class neighborhoods as it is for years from the beginning we want to establish the goals and meta our number based the displacement and the lack of investment in the last 15 years was 24 hundred people in the communities want more the 24 hundred is new units as has been back and forth conversation with the city we understand what their - only want to comment for something they can't say accomplish we need to push them and have this goal may not in the 5 years but longer time from the beginning we want a goal we're implementing the report we'll see if we're making progress and make the corrections like more than 3 months discussing the methodologies to get to the number finally we understand that the city can't only pay for that we recognize the investment is put if place additional seven hundred and 50 units we're telling people what are those projects and now telling the communities what is accomplishing working with the city and all the communities organizing efforts this is the housing pipeline we have and bans that three hundred and 50 now but for the 24 hundred and only the inclusionary housing it is low and the communities is disappointed how low for the market-rate development we know the board of supervisors grandfathered all the projects but i think their offering two little for that still 4 three hundred units to meet the goal there is a conversation with kate and the mayor's office of housing and community development how to get to the housing and rely to advocate of the state level and federal level with foundation and their companies about getting money more affordable housing we know how expensive and we recognize that we already had seven hundred and 50 units we also want to be clear about that programs and policies we've put if place how we're going to - the packet we want for the future years people will be displaced we value all the accommodation for the finance groups with the leadership of - we know there are funding allocated for that and important for us. >> and we had the opportunity market-rate i think that we are not stopping the projects actually raising the numbers there were nine hundred market-rate housing in the mission sorry the years is 2010 and 2014 and there was a little bit inclusionary housing we need more resources based on the need for more affordable housing and asking for more inclusionary but with the 6 street corridor with finalized projects that have completely changed the whole neighborhood but the other changes with the community and not department of water & pow d we know this is important and implementation there has been say just for the communities and latino and to change that and we want to continue keeping the city - we need to do something to protect the displacement of the units and all the nonprofits who serve the protecting people should be also be here in the city that is important for the city yeah. this is - i just want to finalize my presentation with the comment you've we've been pushing for the changes and that we had results but still we're far away from getting our neighborhood stabilized and to push forward i think that san francisco has been doing that now we are close to the pride week and san francisco was able to challenge the core for the quality we can challenge the course and don't be afraid just to provide housing for protecting people like my friend who was mentioned in the committee thank you very much. we'll be here continuing furnishing for more amenities for our communities. >> thank you very much. >> thanks so those are the next steps the community postponed we'll announce a new dates for a meeting we have to come before the fall final plan that targets and mechanisms and more delays on the draft proposals you can take an action and give us direction ideal lee like to have the proposals that may have to wait until the fall a very fast timeframes and approved and start the consultant work i have one more slides new programs that are not already on the ground i won't go over this the 2020 request if i added the totals $3 million in addition resources for the department this meditates moving forward and up ended off decisions for enforcement and additional outreach that concludes my presentation. if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them. >> opening up for public comme comment. >> good afternoon peter coalition action network i want to make a few quick comments here first of all, i thank the departments for the work and bearing with us as we push forward on working to the next round of items under discussion which i'll mention in a minute i think that i want to highlight a few points of the previous presentation talked about we're acknowledginging we're in a crisis here and ground zero is the mission and certainly the rest of city is hurting as well on a blocking basis we've encouragement the city to look at research on block by block that cannot fall an community groups to fund the studies we'll at all times to but like to see a study come out of the city the block by block is a given as a business person myself because any time you move into wealth people i automatically is that's where i'll go where the money is that's why i rob banks that's why the money is there and gentrify the business leases and pressure to move out tenants, etc. that's a stronger belief and we believe studies will conform that. >> to the papers in front of the you, we building this is a strong set of good protects from the grounds of tenants and small business protections this will help to buffer what was going on right now and encourage a rapid roll out of the discussion whatever those will be and i think the planning department for confusion intense destitutions like to see the latino for the most part shored up with strong zoning district changes and pdrs attention throughout the entire district needs to be looked at i'll get back to that has we look at a project a good t is critical to the maintaining of the blue-collar working-class culture and the tradition of arts in the district as well those and a few more things we'll encourage the rapid rolling out thank you. >> rick hall again i mostly want to endorse and say how important and thank planning john rahaim and particularly claudia it is been a long process and not over but making significant steps towards recognizing the issues and trying to find solutions and this is a really big deal this is happening all over the united states and all over the world with the concentration of people in the cities and you know you can look at it and say well, it's happening everywhere and happening here live with it but the people that are being displaced through development in san francisco the city that always says we're going to be the leaders and find something good if we and the mission in particular the hot spot so this is sort of ground zero and if we're planning to be open enough to try to consider how a neighborhood a city can do the development without displacement and i'm not talking about displacing not talking about affordable housing but talking about all the kinds of displacement of the businesses and the cultures, etc. but to have san francisco be open to trying that to trying to see that you know. >> applaud city planning for that and applaud claudia flores because at my best i'm not at my by itself anymore but at my best highly challenges to take on the job of doing a good job there's city cats she's got to herd and community cats and a lot of us and we skrafrt in all directions thank you claudia for all the work you've done and john. >> is there any additional public comment? >> okay not seeing any, public comment is closed. director rahaim. >> thank you. i also want to add my thanks to everyone involved the members of the public some of whom are here and certainly ma and thanks to mohcd staff that have been a great partner and oewd and claudia and others we've development this list of strategies on the spreadsheet no directly related by other small business protections and as maybe no surprise the issues that are becoming the most challenging has to do with with new development and the role of market-rate development and how to manage that without displacement as discussed we are making progress in that direction we think - you know, i think it is fair to say the work in the mission is experimental and trying to determine a set of strategies that allows the stabilization of the neighborhoods and test some things outs that's what we're trying to do i applaud everybody for being examineral right thing to do and i should have mentioned the budget committee approved our budget as. >> approved it the few cuts to consulting things iconicly a proposal by the budget analyst to eliminate the position it will implements map 2020 we saved that all of positions proposed in the budget were approved by the budget committee including this one and related to map 2020 the enforcement position a portion that will be devoted to the pdr enforcement issue a big point on the spreadsheet as well claudia mentioned in the next report in august bring forward in more detail some of the planning code changes we've discussed with the community and related to 24th street and possibly the pdrs measures and then flush those out in detail and have a initiate those in the early fall we think those set of changes is an excellent to move forward and several other areas that the planning code that will it takes time to consider that's the next round of changes that we bring to you in the late summer and early fall. >> thank you commissioner antonini. >> thank you. i think this shows a lot of promise in connection with the issue i've been doing a lot of reading i read making the mission it takes the mission district to the 19 hundreds you learn how the mission was over the years and not been as it was from 1970 to 1990 and the new geography of jobs by enrique who is a resident of mission that explicit direct 80 talk to this but talks about new jobs and it is important to save jobs we may not be able to only safe older pdr j.p. morgan buty train to employ people in some of the new jobs created those are a couple of things and we have to do this carefully because we want to make the changes that protect presents residents and precedence businesses and artists and those sorts of things we also should not freeze a neighborhood from change first thing it is important that no changes in any kind of affordability are proposed until we see this feasibility study that is forthcoming after prop c was passed you want to see if the levels of affordability are functional by driving it too high you eliminate one of the leading source of affordable units with inclusionary units if no money go goes into the in lui fees you'll with less money to build the seats you're hoping to build affordable housing on and have to look at the situation you're actually i did a lot of reading one of the things i read fred's budget and legislative analyst dictated october 27, 2015, a analyzed the income levels in the mission and the ethnic make up and is can traffic accidents 20 years ago under 2014 or whenever the statistic more balanced income levels one thirds of people making under 40 thousand and one thirds one hundred and over cancun traffic accideontrasted e ethnic group those are all things we shouldn't be trying studio control diversity is a good thing and more diverse neighborhoods are important a couple even if things also 41 percent of units built in the mission from 2000 to 2013 we are affordable not a lot of unions or units but the majority were affordable the market-rate housing have jumped in some of the statistics now in 2010 to 2015 more market-rate than affordable but you know still is nuke of units built is relatively small so any ill effects that might come from building market-rate housing have not had an effect we haven't built that many and many studies show the ted egan study talk about block by block ted egan says within 200 and 50 feet from market-rate housing built there is a 5. 7 up to 5. 7 drop in the housing prices of units within 200 and 50 feet one two years and after 3 years not steady 2 housing unit 1 percent so in close proximity they lose value and some interesting things in regards to culture districts property owner ownership is very important you know in in which which was predominantly italian many years ago and the make up is not italian the culture has remained one of the reasons be probable many of the properties are owned by italians or those sympathetic to keeping this culture alive and those involved the culture keeping the culture nature of the 24th street particular where every they can acquire the property to make sure it stays so those are my main comments at that particular time and landlords to what goes forward a lot of individuals detail within there plan but having studied it carefully he hope the receipt of the things shows where we are in terms of number of units built and pdr adapt the other things are pdrs it is very important that we don't consider it displacement if the pdr is relocated to somewhere else in san francisco that only make sense many businesses don't want to be in an area their con restricted and not close to freeze and need more square footage and lower prices and if a working has to go a mile or 2 miles rather than one miles it didn't moorntd better to keep the businesses you know the tenants is being relocated within the city with a bigger footprint pdrs footprint so in terms of artists the same thing at least as long as we keep the artist in san francisco the other thick put forward in the reports the ideas of changing zoning in the pdrs district to allow affordable housing above pdr uses that makes a lot of sense you know it would be less expensive lands it would be probably less expensive to build and it would put residents close to the pdrs used that might not be in the middle of the mission district but somewhere pdr zones within san francisco so a lot of good ideas commissioner moore. >> thank you i congratulate you for maintaining the strength and energy given us this update i was a.d. mri of it the first time arena and am speech also as director rahaim fans such a wide range of topics and involves no-brainer the planning department it is a reasonable achievement and some of the words i'll say the words and add a couple of thoughts the word of paced balance, set target and monitor. >> protect and act. >> all of those things are not wanting to overturn but constructively doing and lair streaking negotiating and findings a middle ground where something it possible and not stuck in a conversation that basically yells up against the impossible and undoable when you're telling me your pacing market-rate housing that creates a better battle of the legislation of affordable housing i'm interested if seeing how that can be done when you talk about setting targets for pdr i'm interested in seeing that is being done
