Permanent site well definitely be able to manage having the right now theyre giving us 3 spaces that includes the aspect position and the mayor has issued his budget direction the city is still projecting status for the next couple of years even in the economic boom because of the pension obligation 0 or so the agency 2k3w59d departments with oewd is a 3 percent general plan decrease a similar instruction that that in the past last year so ive worked with the Financial Advisors to figure out what we need to do to have minimum impact but there will be for at least the next few years no new positions not a hiring freeze but no new positions then ive priority you a list of legislation that has been referred to the Commission Supervisor yee has introduced legislation eliminating some business tax fees so that was introduced last week and we got it on friday so ill be take a look at that. Theres been intern controls introduced around an intern moratorium around greg cannabis in pdr space because theres is some concern about the amount of pdr space that is held off the market in anticipation for this industry and that is now not moving forward fast because of the concerns of the cannabis growers that is being discussed we are also seeing that some department of Human Services making sure the medical marijuana is conditional use those are those right now, were having individuals coming into the Assistance Center asking questions how to navigate the fact that proposition 64 has passed can be they do currently the only thing is the legal structure open a medical cannabis dispensaries thats the only licensed structure we have in place right now so but we will be you know minica and i are working closely with the task force and with the business communities to figure out what we need to do moving forward. Incidentally a lot of talk ultimately growing activities inside the citys expensive like ourselves not if you running an urban winery you dont grow your grapes in downtown San Francisco more likely that the raw product will be brought into the city and processed as for beer and wine and others types of things this is theres a bunch of people studying the economics the other thing i live near what ill say a 5 thousand square feet debris operation and the impact on the neighborhood is nontrivial it is intense the sovereign is a very good operator hesitate installed state of the art suppression equipment for the aroma did work when our down winds from that place one one thoughtless feet. I know what youre talking about. You feel your consuming and a tremendous amount of resistance we need to get prepared a lot of neighbors and this is not speculative you go on the tour with this fellow and go to the grow operations youll smell that it is intense. Right and both minica and i did the tour if if youre interested. It is not like a brewery that is a grow operation it is in operation 24 7 so. So know i think there are broader policy questions to be looking at in terms of the best sectors what is more akin to San Francisco and i think on the retail side there is a lot of nuances and things to be given consideration to and i think via it, of course, whatever we do, we need to be sensitive to this business with the pdrs and the demands for pdr space not only on the cultivation been on the manufacturing side you know we dont want to have this sorts of overtake what weve spent what almost 10 years with sfmade and building up our local manufacturing so. To the extent it is manufacturing sfmade we dont discriminate one 1915 medicaid waivers type over another the issue with the cannabis industry that will be venture free is like tech we also use the words tech or tech it is not tech Venture Capital enterprises that derive the cost of labor and reality theyre willing to extend more for whatever industry a tax or cannabis a new industry that many of the venture firms they see this greenfield opportunities no pun intentional but that is what the cannabis industry is facing the same issues that any industry is facing. Yep. So and then eave im not going into it in great detail equip about some of the major policy issues weeping well be working on for 2017 i didnt put this in your reports but forgot to put in the article the change for article 7 you received a very brief presentation a couple of months ago from the planning code taking outside the definition and putting them in article 1 so one section in the planning code that has all the definitions that is continues so i keep reporting out when the next hearing before the Planning Commission so to help you anticipate when that legislation will be coming back before you so thats continues to the beginning of january and oh, february excuse me thank you.

Really quick under legacy business everywhere i go people think they need money and want to know how to apply to be a legacy business i tell them you, you can apply to be a legacy business were working on some outreach i like to continue that and bring that sooner than later after today last week, i was approached by the a couple of businesses we dont need the money but how do we apply we dont want to apply we dont need the money he tell them apply we need to build that up and work outside of this with other businesses but in the new year really, really work on that. For the planning meeting discuss how we amplify your celebration of legacy businesses it is clear this session has been a forum people know were having a celebration and show up i mean today, the number of people speaking son on behalf of the gym so i think that we should promote about the activity here but figure out how to have an annual Birthday Party for legacy businesses it will be great to have a reception everybody can come together to celebrate their legacy business we can talk about that later. I have new business. Regina talked about it ive been working with the Planning Department for many months on their proposal to eliminate section 7 did neighborhood commercial code and replace that with section one hundred given the extensive and substantial changes that are being promoted now some of the new definitions and the new section one hundred are not necessarily the same as what in their replacing and added presents that is very confusing and hard to understand for those comparison is we as a commission and public can understand the ramification for the mcds so im requesting that our staff be provided with a document that clearly spells outs any thoughts changes that may have an impact on the mcds because there are actually quite a few of the this about have profound impacts think mcds so Everyone Needs to know more about this not just a minor little thing. When will this be affected. Theyll hear it to the Planning Commission the first time in february it has a lot of problems. Okay. They keep pushing the date further and further back im personally appreciative because ive been looking at hundreds and hundreds of pages for months and months and months the thing the planning code is you can change one section but made 2406r be referenced in yet another area we need to thinks that fact and make sure were cool with what is proposed. Okay. Should we ask them to come and do a presentation. Lets have staff do it first. If we can get some kind of a donate that shows what is before what it is now and another column that says what, if any changes that would be helpful for all of us. We modesty another new business item on that topic we meet want to think about if we have some subjected guidelines to present at the commission for the people so theyre addressing us in areas that are perry amenity to your jurisdiction tonight was a presentation that was important but no slides no idea where it was going and whether that was going to end any time soon so i was compelled to say look i mean great but we need to stay on task here and so rather than and thats the job im going to make sure that were the presentations are useful for us and that our commissions work okay so were not waste of time with the presenters, the recipients or the audience all right. So i think that it is environmentally poor if someone makes a presentation that they have slides okay because i want to know what slides were on and whether or not were on slide number ten of one hundred or 10 of 15 and attendant i think were on 10 of one hundred we had to stop so i think that should be tables for someone making a presentation. Usually we have but krooks we dont and it causes a situation that is uncomfortable and not in my way meant to be rude it was interesting before the commentary end so they didnt hear what Public Comment had to say that was as important to hear Public Comment. Anyway, i think that is important to acknowledge the task force itself is working on the flails details we will ultimately be engaged in the task force not that i i dont want to know about it were engaged in a place the engagement is meaningful okay. So maybe if we can just have a some guidelines we give people before they presents likewise and people that do it all the time write down the notes they read theyre not to the point it is nervous racking to stand up in front of folks any the new busy any members of the public that want to comment on new businesses business seeing none, Public Comment is closed.
