seeing none thank you. we will go to our next applicant, our third applicant, patricia spaniak. >> thank you for listening to me. >> yes thank you. >> good afternoon supervisors. my name is patricia spaniak. i'm from district 11 and currento on the department of aging board and the legislateiff council. currently i am working in an aging and place mold ed which is a grass places effort called kay iewga community connectors. because there are so many seniors without services in san francisco it's a pop up senior center. we rent a space and they meet to exercise and socialityize and receive education. i worked with third street senior center bringing the program to our neighborhood. our seniors wouldn't have an opportunity to have those programs without the connector program. we have quarterly pot lucks and we have healthy brain. doctors come in from ucsf and they're interested meeting seniors and bringing some of the new science they learned about the brain. we do everything from pot lucks but the most important thing is exercise, socialize and nutrition. without this community connector program our seniors would never hear from the department of adult protective services for example. we recently did the c tab program so the seniors are getting free telephone. this is a grass-roots effort with the connectors and isolation leads to depression and depression leads to illness. we want to keep the seniors in their home as long as possible and that's what i am doing. i am from a large family from the east coast and grew up in a multigenerational household. i believe i understand the needs of seniors and respect what they have to offer our community. i actually come from a business background. my profession was mostly in the business world so this aging in place model gives me an opportunity to see what the needs are on the ground in the neighborhoods and bring them to the department of aging advisory council and work with people with greater knowledge than myself. >> great. thank you. >> thank you. >> any questions? i want to say quickly we appreciate all the great work you're doing in district 11 working with the seniors. >> thank you very much. >> we want to expand that. >> thank you. >> seeing no other comments or questions from colleagues go go to the final applicant, ms. allegra fortunati. >> i'm allegra fortunati, a boomer senior living within the district 5. thank you supervisor safai, fewer and yee for hearing my application for reappointment to the aging advisory council. i have served on the council since 2016 and in the seat of a prior nominee and hopefully to serve on my own and i am secretary to the council and on the membership committee. i am semi retired from the uc system and working if are the oam buds man program. as a field ombudsman i have worked with areas with issues with seniors and with disabilities and several non-profits so residents of the facilities can get the help available to live the best life they can and member of san francisco village which focuses on keeping seniors in their homes as long as possible and hopefully avoiding institutionalization a goal which i am in great agreement. for a couple of terms i served on the san francisco civil grand jury and thoroughly enjoyed the experience by serving -- to be civically engaged. i want to continue that experience by serving on the council. since october i have attended every council meeting and have already completed four site visit reports on the city and county's congregate meal program. i am hoping to continue that level of service and contributions to the council so it's a better advocate for seniors and adults with disabilities. i believe having an active participate from district 5 on the council is vital. it's the home of some of the lowest income seniors and adults with disabilities in the city and second largest amount of adults with disabilities generally. i am interested and hearing from all programs for the residents. i hope you support my application. thank you. >> thank you. colleagues any questions?

room. and approach the mike and again, we're taking public comment on the continuance issue not necessarily the item at hand go ahead if you're ready. >> yes. >> michael gains co-president of the merchant association corresponding with the planning department on this we had that opportunity to speak one was back in first or second quarter of 2016 at the harvey milk i was there and the push back with concerns and second a meeting with their legal counsel on february 1st of this year jim abrams and all of the concerns requester communicated by myself and the vice president and showed up at the rather monthly meeting in march and more concerns the optics are off not only is feels like it is rushed with the april 13th date assuming we as a community might not organization but literally ask for a continuance the spirit is engaging the community as you can see hear from the narrative and the history several instances were given crickets for many months they've not engaged the community and not hired a pr firm or experienced concerns which i won't get into it is off topic but many perhaps a way forward plus a tactic to defuse the people that many carved out time in their business and privately calendar to be here even if it is in the latter of day and one sentence we understand the spirit should have come they've give us last week it was number 18 there are 7 or 8 items continued for continuance and so we leave it to you with that background and the understanding the history of this correspondence and engagement which the community is impacted thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> yes my name is hal fishing resident of the lower haight i'm informal did a lot of the work on the opposition to this i think the reason given the amount of the community outreach they did in response to the community why 24 need to be continued the issues are straightforward and clear as michael said people made time to address this issue i see no reap this should be continued thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> hi i live very close to the coffee shop in questio n and don't see any reason to continue this is just a great example of why the formula retail exists i mean in the past we've had a wonderful coffee shop part of the community and people met there and discussed a well lit coffee shop i love the blue bottle base coffee didn't belong here is a dangerous corner with bikes and cars and pedestrians been added to the congestion with a designation coffee shop for people coming from blocks away to stop off for for coffee not what the neighborhood and city needs that's it thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm dave in the lower haight i'll be quick haven't seen any attempt to get public comment from the blue bottle all of a sudden want a continuance and have not done nothing that's all i have to say. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> and i've lived in lower haight for 25 years a block from the corner and also very much opposed to this store in the lower haight thank you. >> thank you, thank you i'm jim abrams council for the blue bottle we respectfully request a continuance like to have further community outreach a sense we've not done enough with sufficient conversations request the community and we'd like to be able to do that and understanding there is better to try to there will this in the proposal to better address the neighborhoods concerns and also i think one big issue we want to continue to discuss with the neighborhood that is one of the gentlemen stayed there is a perspective a ban on the wholesale in the lower haight part of outreach in opposition has been discussing a ban for formula retail and somehow we're trying to open up that autopsied ban for no morality that's not correct we asking for a cu we are the neighborhood thinks we're trying to allow other formula retail to operate in the lower haight we'll discuss that and the specifics we're asking for, thank you. >> thovmd on the items proposed for continuance. >> seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner fong. >> so continue items 1 through 5 and 12 to the fourth. >> a date for the 18. >> no proposed hearing date by may fourth or 11. >> i don't know how long blue bottle will need for the community outreach. >> may 11 gives us a month that will be sufficient. >> we're also july 11th if? better but may 11 is one month and would be - and my motion to may 11 if we need to continue beyond that. >> if so jonas. >> second. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> i guess a question for mr. abrams so i have been on the commission 2 and a half years this is the first blue bottle that came before us in that period when the neighborhood commercial district was a cu was it just the enit is the duty on whether you bottles part or engaged months ago with the history of shown walling crickets telling you what happened. >> one so for blue bottle on fillmore street that happened just about 18 months ago or so pr in this instance we have a meeting we heard the concerns of the community at that meeting that is clear. >> this is the 14. >> for the proposal in the fall. >> okay. >> for the proposal if the lower haight we then working through the application process and reached out to mohammed to attend one the meeting to discuss the meeting the president of the blue bottle attend that meeting we thought we had a positive and truthful go conversation and not one of opposition at least the way we experienced it and in the communication the weather from the letter that came out and the petition that was really i think caught us by surprises based on the nature of the conversation we you know we understood there a bit more neutrality and the petition was more about formula retail in the policy issue generally as as opposed to to blue bottle to stop formula retail in the lower haight that was just a conversation that was different from what we were happening specifically being this store you know what is served and health operated and those types of things. >> thank you. the gentleman from - >> before we vote on whether to continue this a mocha you let me know your take on how the meeting went i - i was you out of country i was at the last meeting but i can tell you what the harvey milk was like and he came to one meeting with the community that was in march jim myself and our vice president met on february 1st, the next was the attendance at the march meeting but a huge gap between april of 2016 and february 1st meeting with jim and that's our biggest concern why did that happen not more pro-active fifth amendment we've wherein through those things in the neighborhood and not the pr and martha and the main concerns was set a precedent and blue bottle is not close. >> thank you commissioner johnson. >> no, i'm okay sorry about that. >> commissioner moore. >> just to ground ours in the subject blew ballot has not rieg to formula retail in coffee started with petting was in 65 that was gigantic and starbuck's has been on the radar the broader question in retail it is the first time the issue of formula retail comes up while in the corridor and blue bottle being the subject of that or the reason for that discussion i hope that it it be continued to remove the project or continue it that you all start separating the issues one to work on increasing the neighborhood commercial guidelines and guidance to see how specifically, the corridors in the city and another one to sort out that the commission has generally taking the length convenient position for the local grown businesses and as long those not stepped into becoming companies that have gone international we continue to support locally grown small businesses i want to say for the clarifying and allow you to take months and sort out the issues who is you're asking us to look at if you're cu. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further, there is

forward. >> was that a question. >> no a comment. >> you could have pull that off content i know that is on content noticeably and so could the public but make that clear. >> the planner wrote me a

integrating that. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you following up on conversations we've had at the commission over the past few months there's an article in the in or out o new york times we'll not go into the details but a lot of the sort of movement in retail and sort of the technology that are coming into play information really struck me as ground floor retail essentially being the front for swharing activity essentially at the office of initiation with the storefronts for 1e8 various things all adds up to mean that in the future retail is going to enstale an additional level of infrastructure it is getting hard for the 2ki7b9 open a can of worms to support if you think about the model with a clothing store and really a front for the website and all clots in the warehouse and everything is on the ipad you can click and those stores of technolo gy that is important for the planning department and to all of us to think about that is a level of infrastructure that is not the current business model for stores where they have their wears in the back that is where we're going to the future we need to have consolidation in the types of businesses that supportive ground floor at the if we see that we may see future vasectomies it is now important for what else we can support on the ground floor moving forward dealing with multiple neighborhood ncd district with a lot of these vacancies we have corridors that are parental issues but may have more in the future to think about it. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> i read the same article another article in the review on the times on sunday talked about how we'll not bring back main street it talked about the evolution of retail from the 18 psychos to the 1890s and a chance store what it as done to the small towns and condominium about where in the u.s. the small retailers are doing well, that the place not an issue for more affluent like san francisco and brought these up i think that is a good discussion to understand we have the commercial corridors and dead on with the $5 cup of coffee pay the rents and have people coming sensitive to price but other problems people are not able to do that rodely not as much disposal income and enlightenments to what commissioner johnson mentioned. >> next commissioner melgar. >> thank you. i also read that same article thank you for brirpg it up it sounds like we'll have a topic discussion there are neighborhoods like the mission where you know 60 percent of low income families does not have computers that connection added home and they shop along the mission street corridor and 24th street corridor and in looking to the future we must not forget the present those storefronts tend to be entry-level for a lot of businesses and places where people shop and wanted to say the mission corridor is unique and others corridors in the chinatown and the bayview so i think a nuance understanding and planning for that you know must take into reality or account our reality in the presence i think i look forward to that discussion here it is important next commissioner fong. >> i'll be careful not to start a dialogue but agree with our comments of the article and our conversation with commissioner moore about stores and how to treat them in the future observing you look at the boulevard and other dealerships only one sample of one car so maybe a broader discussion along with some of the things that commissioner moore and i talked about i'm not sure if there is an opportunity for the department you know almost bringing in a future i thought or locally but look forward to the conversation. >> commissioner moore. >> there is annotate discussion on what i say and the encouraging comment from commissioner melgar makes which i look to 2 down folsom street up and down there is vacancies all of a sudden and at least 10 now stores popped up with the entrepreneurial population and perhaps the population wants to get into small business that contradicts the things we buy are large ones there is a vital need for business shopping i don't think we'll ever see so i really like to keep the positive things that san francisco is doing in the commercial corridors as a guiding light for myself i once put my energy i don't see urban life happening we can credibility to occurring tailing wind that indeed retail can occur that commissioner melgar is describing i observed an polk street. >> commissioner johnson. >> totally out of dialogue. (laughter) i think my comments were also about maintaining that positivity and how we support those models in the future one last note in my thoughts i didn't say the first time around the land use perspective but prosecute an economic development looking how i guess other departments not planning department but how can we have programs to support those local businesses because one of the big things the model is having retail stores the model is you no longer have your wears in the back a network of trucks with you are your vicinity but the model it your inventory is that somewhere else and shifts to people at home it will be hard to support a role model morality stores move to the infrastructure involved and the other places that don't and more quote/unquote traditional if things change in the future you'll not have the trucks bringing in your inventory but support the infrastructure in the future may not be maybe the portion >> thank you, commissioners and certainly a topic we're reader in and can schedule that a time to talk about it with the planning department staff so thank you. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further, we'll move on to move on to department matters. >> announcements. >> commissioners no new announcements except it is of interest to look at this issue as you may know one of the concerns i've had is that amount of retail use that is vacant by traditional retailing and taken up by restaurant and food vendor in the recent years i'm concerned many will not survive especially in the economy is going down we've seen the closing of restaurant like the castro has a large number of vacancies so i think this is time to look at it as well so we'll try to organize a discussion with other folks about the best way. >> >> review of past events at the board of supervisors, board of appeals and historic preservation commission. >> good afternoon aaron starr manager, legislative affairs, planning department. the short report at the land use committee the affordable housing reminded and fee for the divisadero was continued to may 1st and at the full board this week the downtown support special use district easement to allow in-lieu fees was passed test second reading and one ordinance trod by supervisor peskin and made chances to the polk street and 5 avenue mcds that concluded my report. >> thank you mr. starr. >> we'll move to general public comment just quickly to close that item no report from the historic preservation commission general comment not to exceed 15 minutes. at this time, members of the public may address the commission to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission except agenda items. with respect to agenda items, your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting. each member of the public may address the commission up to three minutes. i had one speaker card. >> before we do that commissioner moore had a question regarding the board report. >> mr. starr is interest more detail regarding amendment to the polk ncd. >> there is a lot of amendments to it. >> will we be presented to us. >> they'll come to you for recommendation. >> i was reporting on what i saw yesterday. >> open general public comment up georgia swedish go ahead. >> the cards were not there. >> at random hi laura clark action recently the bay backed area council come out with polling about the polled people's reactions to the people in the region we want to bring statistics to our attention 62 of respondent said they have official support for building new housing in their neighborhood and in san francisco in particular 75 percent of voters said they supported building housing in their neighborhood and obviously that is not often represented in the kinds of people that come to those hearings i think it is important to keep in mind that this is not necessarily the most democratic way to get the poles to building housing in their neighborhood 75 percent of people are not able to support the housing in their neighborhood the people that are able to make time to come out on a thursday each one and voice their concerns are crazy people like me and you should definitely take everything we say with a grain of salt the people that dolt their lives observing to land use but people that should be looking to the most but instead the 75 percent of people wanting more housing in their neighborhood those are the people you're here to represent not me and not the other crazy people thank you. >> i don't think i'm crazy that's another story high oh, (laughter) just to noted in case two weeks ago i believe assemblyman john the author of the ceqa, california environmental quality act you use each week passed away that law was signed into effect by govern ronald reagan i'm here to talk about section 317 i think that should be removed from the planning code i talked about that reducing the second unit for a single-family and saw vickburg and lincoln and 21st street and elizabeth and there is one outside the map 2020 and with only open fulsome anyway to give us an example can i have the overhead, please? see there is that two an old edwardian facade that door i went to the openhouse a marginal unit you put your teenager mother-in-law so i'll - those are single-family homes and just to pick up on something that i trend i thought i saw it seems unremarkable to mind the rh-2 for gentrification of housing it is legally allowed to move you don't see that reduce the unit and make a single-family homes but at the same time you're talking about gentrification just to put a fine point here's the definition of rh-2 from section the two family each district is devoted to whereon and two family housing with the consistency of two large glass one for the owner and one important rental and not steady 25 feet that is my point here's for the minutes please and also as a bonus i don't know if you saw this in a real estate blog but a huge increase in short-term rentals mostly folks from on the mission and in telegraph hill and that's the short-term rental rental if you want to see that and thank you for your time take care. >> is there any additional general public comment? good afternoon commissioners i'm tony robles, housing organizer with the senior & disability action collaborative. just want to say briefly that in light of what happened with ms. iris the seniors that have been severely impacted by the actions of property owners and landlord that the city needs to show it's commitment in the protection of seniors and to the city's policy by not regarding landlords modification of buildings so forth and we're seeing that over time this is taken a very negative toll on seniors and you know, i worked with seniors on a regular basis and you know they have you know very specific needs and i think that we've seen this impact can make the difference continue life and death as we've seen you know planning has to have a comprehensive plan on how to deal with that issue there are many of us that come and speak to planning and speak to the city we speak to different committees and we're not crazy we're people that see this stiff happening and take this extremely extremely serious we've been here for a very, very long time didn't just blow in and decide to frame you know framing it in a way to appeal to a demographic those are elders we take this seriously >> thank you. is there any additional public comment general public comment seeing none, commissioner vice president richards. >> i guess one thing i want to make clear my time on the commission we started to understand why the unit in question the timing of diminishing or downsizing or rent control this is not part of the progress suddenly asked for history open those same unit not part of the progress and recently are carl jensen on the clayton were asked in the tenant situation as part not part of part we take this very, very seriously and not throwing people out into the streets we work with them. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further, we'll move on to move on to your regular calendar - >> i'm afraid i want to know i'm following what is happening here we're on calendar item 10 not 11; is that correct. >> well, right now calendar 11 next item. >> commissioners, that places you under your for item 11 no. 11 - 2017-001170pca, amendments to accessory dwelling units program - planning code amendment. >> good afternoon commissioner president hillis and commissioners kim planning department staff before i start my presentation i'd like to recognize supervisor peskin the sponsor of this ordinance would like to speak to you today. >> welcome supervisor peskin thank you, thank you kim. >> thank you chair and commissioner president hillis and members of the board and director rahaim deputy city attorney jensen as you will recall my timing was very bad in 2002 i introduced an accessary dwelling unit we called them in-law units later on the language wag secondary unit today adu's i was 10 years two early sxhooushl and this last summary the board of supervisors passed another citywide adu legislation which i'm pleased with starting to bear some fruit and bear more and clearly this is a dynamic piece of legislation that will continue to talk about how to view it along the way the state legislators automated it statewide and as a result our law is out of compliance negative impact january of 2017 i introduced a very small fixate bringing our what are you into compliance with state law you heard that on february 23rd and it is not at my request the subject of yet another hearing today i did not want the desire to have an outstanding confusion of adu to impede my passage this law should have happened by now but an interesting dynamic it is you and your colleagues will think about your power to review changes to the planning code derives from the charter in section 4 point one 5 one sentence that says an ordinance property by the board of supervisors concerning zoning shall be reviewed by the commission now that is further dealt with in the planning code at section 302 and dealt with 314 this makes sense when the board wants to change the code we want to be here from our staff and the commission but that language is actually very specific i think what i've started to discover it there's been a practice which is not necessarily in accordance with the law let me read you section 302 called initiation that says an amendment to the planning code maybe initiated by the introduction of the member of the board of the board of supervisors of a proposed ordinance and i under lined approved to former by the city attorney upon the introduction of a clerk of the board should transit it to the planning commission planning commission and at the time it you have 90 days to hear it and o postpone patio what is happening in the situation is that this piece of legislation we should have passed a month ago this is the vehicle for additional amendments i'm happy to discuss i think they have policy merit and absolute my colleagues that want to do that is this is not the right vehicle more importantly you don't having proposed language you don't have nothing that is reviewed by the city attorney the way that works we crafted this legislation approved by the city attorney as former and then you comment on it and the practice has been if you talk about it and comment on the proposed legislation and we talk about it we can actually adopt those amendments but what is happening here is the amendments that are being proposed don't exist they are fixed words on a papering on the february 23rd meeting i think you rightly said we need time at least postpone but in the meanwhile that a - when we introduce the legislation we have to introduce the legislation with language that you guys can comment on and adopt or not adopt under our powers in the charter so i'm respectfully with that said, i do have comments on the proposals that were given to you and in the spirit of this conversation between our body and our body and more importantly between the author of the legislation that you have concerned and now i'll spring on you here's a bunch of piece of paper . >> are you asking you to continue this. >> that wouldn't hurt my feelings. >> commissioner moore. >> supervisor peskin could the proposal the ideas the policy described to the supervisors and colleagues considered this is presented at the time when we're ready how is that done. >> in accordance with section 3021922 precisely the
