Well 3 things briefly first of all, a lot of us are interested in things that had oriented in San Francisco one in the green sheet this week angelo hank who grew up in San Francisco went to galileo and played at Stanford University oriented the one hand shop and one jump shop basketball everyone throw the ball understated footed and second thing is scott wiener supervisor wiener as initiated discussion of a master plan for subways for the future of San Francisco which is long overdue it smells were doing things push and pull and even if the funding is not there for this type of thing important to have a blue print that considers where the best places are were a dense small city and every other dense small city in the world as transit in its own rightofway sproirp and were having this expedition between buses and pedestrians and cars on the surface we need a plan im no total agreement of what hes talking about and third article recently heard that there was going to be an auction foyer parcel f which was a transbay parcel that hoped to bring up to 200 million in an open option a day or two before a number thought possible are parties that were going to do bid pulled out of the auction one reason state theres fear about not getting an entitlement after paying a couple of Million Dollars for a parcel the fear of prop m limitations you might be stuck with something with in entitlement or detailed quite a few of the years we have to address this soon bus as youve read we need a lot more for the transbay terminal to be competed and well need considering more in the terms of billion dollars to have the are transbay the extension from caltrans to the terminal to make it whole this funding it is important and weve Good Neighbor policy got to be able to relieve the fear and come up with a solution a prop m increase obviously before the voters with consideration. I know the to the be careful youre not supporting a measure. I dont think there was that measures this is somethings before us the proclaiming discussion so. Prop m. Okay. Okay. Well anyway long story short we need to deal with this issue in the future thats my comments. Commissioner richards. A couple of things i saw the advanced calendar and on october 15th a market octavia you want i want to weve been talking about the eastern neighborhoods update and maybe we mixed them up or the eastern neighborhoods is coming up on the calendar maybe a eastern neighborhoods versus market octavia. Theyre both on there. Anybody understand what a ted egon report is is it out. Yep. It is out not in its final form but a graft not issued the final report yet. As soon as he does well get it to you. Will we see the draft id like to take a look a couple of things weve getting gotten a couple of letters in relationship in the long meetings the ones that go 12 hours i think two or three letters the gist we sit here all day and a lot of people fall off and leave by the time we get to hear the project and not the due process of getting up here and speaking its been hours and hours and hours another question one wrote can we budget the meetings maybe a goal of normal eight or ten hours to try to manage the time it brultd i think sitting up here when the air conditioning is off and making an informed decision maybe this is something this commission or is rules committee to have a time management two or three other quick unrelated things weve heard about change happening in the city and we always bemoan the fact this and that place closed and others eagle closed but the rezoning question how much did you effect it they say i used to go once every x number of months my response how can they stay in business with the costs this past week we have the hotel buffet and sunday no longer the demand fell off for the hundred dollars brunch not enough people going so hard question i asked my friends they personally for me since 1997 so you start putting those things together youll have to frequent those place to for them to stay in business the intersection for the arts has a show 925 mission the 5 m project opened until october 15th and i havent been there this is a really, really great project great thing to look at it is the face of neighborhood were actually approving project go to the october 18th and lastly interesting best in class example up in palm springs i was in a rental property for a week when we showed up at the door was the Good Neighbor policy i think perhaps well put one together for whatever form of rental units the first one was no music in the backyard we actually abated by the rules and those houses saying no shorelines we can look at it and have a part of the program when people registration for shortterm rentals. Thank you. Commissioner moore. I received a letter regarding the lateness of our meetings the comment i like to add i think we have to anytime to ourselves we get tired with having to sit here and do equal justice for each project in terms of preparation and when it comes to 8 oclock and 11 oclock and 12 oclock for important calendar items coming late it is physically impossible mentally improbable to be totally on top of it i want us to humbly anytime admit and spread the meetings apart so we can indeed do justice for everything improvements of us the second point it is in rebuttal to commissioner antoninis comment or illumination to his comment the parcel f in transbay is protected through the transcript planning effort its the fact the parcel did not the rest a bid cosit down with the market in china that rightfully made people aware it happened on the same day people had a right to the fact they felt uncertain relative to the advancement of what theyre doing this that is a direct effect on their decision not uncertainties about the process the processes in transbay and are clear and not impediment by what we do. Im glad you guys brought up the length of the last meeting it taxes us not being fair to the public the public knows the president and Vice President and the Commission Secretary meet once a week to try to set out the advanced calendar we try not to let them fall off things get extended we try to make the time with certain items whenever possible im curious in video simulation to the Public Comment have been tried. Oh. Thats before us in november i think. Okay. Im open to sharing i think we are open to hearing other genocides. Commissioner antonini. One thing that may be helpful we try to do this have as many hearings ahead of the decision date to allow the Public Comments and project sponsors and hopefully ma many of the issues will be resolved before we come up for the final decision is it doesnt always happen but certain whenever possible to have multiple habeas corpus hearing on projects. Commissioner johnson. Thank you for commenting just on the item yeah. I definitely agree that is challenging were here for 12 hours and sharp at noon as midnight i know one thing weve got you know brown act and obviously want to hear the Public Comment but not only having multiple hearings but also better advertising and shrinking around the organized approval i think if people knew that was there ive supposedly spoken to an activist maybe 10 to 20 minutes or something might allow us to actually with good conscious to limit Public Comment in some instances i know weve had to do with at skwoeshg agency we didnt have the room after 4 oclock there have times i had to curtail Public Comment or maybe strengthening the orientation and advertising that might help 3 hours ever Public Comment on one item we want to hear all the voices but again, a practice outlet issue. Commissioners, if theres nothing further we can move on to Department Matters announcements. Two items one to mention you may have seen the press release on vorlz kim ill miss in the department the new director of that office i want to say that official office is staffed by 3 members of the Planning Department whove been working on register and the City Administrators Office those folks will be in the Planning Department open is fist floor and just as last wee week we had 6 hundred and 80 rentals so the members of the public who are interested in doing vorlz no waiting on appointments you get an appointment next day for shortterm rental weve up to 6 hundred and 20 registrations for a well be having a hearing on the academy of the eir but more specifically a discussion about the process for bringing projects to once the eir is certified so think about the option well present you with some option how we structure the various approvals whether gop geograph or types of buildings whatever well give you those option on october 1st and generate a discussion objective cant bring all the projects at the same time that concludes my presentation. Thank you. Commissioner moore. Director ram could you perhaps add shorelines were a little bit more prepared with the other to bunch together an outline how to organize we can look at ideas that would be great a form of what youre trying to do. Commissioners, if theres nothing further well move on on top of to item 8 past events of the board of supervisors and the Historic Preservation commission didnt meet yesterday. Hi commissioners the board returned from its break, however, monday was a holiday legislative aide didnt meet district 8 and 3 adu legislation had its second reading and passed the conditional use authorization for the designated units in c3 sponsored by madam chair rosales and supervisor kim and supervisor mar that was reheard because of the drafting error and signed by the mayor on august 6th didnt include all the projects but the board reconsidered and it passed on its First Reading this week and finally, the accessory use entertainment south of market districts also received its First Reading that allows the limited live performers in the g district it was heard on july 16th and voted to unanimously recommend approval the board passed it unanimously on the First Reading 3 introductions the cocorrections ordinance this commission heard on august 16th and introduced by the mayor and then the jewish home planning Code Amendment and general plan were also introduced that concludes my remarks.

Hello, im teresa im part of the south of Market Action<\/a> committee you know you commissioners and our city hall has been receiving hundred of emails in support of 5 m our coalition has found out forest city is using information if signing sheets to send automatic emails to sign on for a 5 m project and being told their signing on a petition without their knowledge and consent this is misleading the public and other decisionmakers like 9 board of supervisors make us believe there is hundred of people in support of 5 m it the deceiving were trust to give Community Benefits<\/a> how can you trust a developer that disrespect the public you need to hold forest city accountable this is an open process and not backroom deals third Agreement Development<\/a> i also want to acknowledge the earlier comments 3 project will cause so much gentrification but from last week meeting by the time this development in the Community Benefits<\/a> were in place our committee is gone so we need to think it through not just crush the numbers but impacting human lives the Planning Commission<\/a> and the land use should be for the people and not for development notforprofit thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi, im a mariey im part of quatro im here are a whole group of people protesting the unbelievable amount of luxury housing but in particular ill address the eastern neighborhood plan i was reading over the eastern neighborhood plan the first objective was strengthen the missions exiting mixed use character awhile making sense a place to live and work well, i dont know about maintaining the character when we have several buildings that are being proposed that will not be to the neighborhoods affordability and theyre going to be more luxury condos also it shouldnt be able to you shouldnt be able to change a code designation and change that from pdr to condos i kind of said that wrongs anyway one of the other objections to remain the missions parole for the pdr that block is a perfect example how this is changing and it makes me wonder whats the point of the eastern neighborhood plan if it is a guideline nobody follows one of the other objectives is to continue expand the citys efforts to increase permanently Affordable Housing<\/a> programs and accountability thats another one that the monster in the mission definitely was not affordable the access was not affordable the cell space is not affordable and lennar was not affordable i dont understand we have this outline but it seems to me nobody is really following that. The mission is just people are getting displaced and getting throne out pour around and ellis act and we need to put some sort of limit on that the goals of the eastern neighborhood plan preserve diversity and vital of the mission decrease the amount of Affordable Housing<\/a> and preserve and enhance existing pdr, promote alternative means of transport to reduce traffic and auto use and improve the development in an additional facility and you. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good morning.

Thats the ends of Public School<\/a> that was a 15 minute Public Comment<\/a> section other one at the end of todays agenda okay. Weve gone well over the 15 minute allotment time. I think we cant precede with this noise. Notforprofit but for people. Sir, your slithering out of order. We can go home. Ill go home. Maam. Thank you, thank you. Maam, okay commissioners shall we precede with your calendar. Lets take a 2 minute break. I want to go ahead lets go id like to remind the to get members of the audience that the commission does not tolerate disruptions of any kind. Please silence any devices that may sound off during the proceedings. Commissioners, we left off your rentcontrolled i was informed that item 12 for case geary billiard conditional use authorization experienced a notification issue where greater than 20 percent of the mail notices were returned the Zoning Administrator<\/a> as determined a new notice needs to be september that item to be continued indefinitely and commissioner antonini. Make a motion we should give for Public Comment<\/a> to the matter. Okay. So openly up for Public Comment<\/a> on the item number 12 which is now recommended to be continued. It will be only on the matter of continuance. Hi good afternoon commissioner johns and commissioners im the director of Government Affairs<\/a> for comcast can we get some. We variant heard anything about this. I was just informed of that so the planning you know the planner what is assigned to our case no evidence me unfortunately 20 percent of the notices were returned to the Planning Department<\/a> so a new nose need to be sent. They were sent more than a month and a half ago i i dont know work theyre received. Is that planner here. I did not see staff here so i cant respond to that question. I received an email we were still on im confused that were not i cant explain why it is coming so late. David is here. Commissioners David Lindsey<\/a> from Department Staff<\/a> we had a lot of returns on the mailings for this one this was sent out we counted it up over 20 percent of the total most of them from one Housing Development<\/a> across the street the Zoning Administrator<\/a> was consulted and sized us to continue this in order to carry out the mailing. Sorry it was kind of hard to hear. So my question is that we sent out the mailers over a month and a half ago why did we receive word day they were returned they should have been returned in a week. It doesnt happen that fast with the post office we get a big chunk back this year weeks ago. As of 11 30 i had a merge we were on the with the planner. We were counting them up literally within the last hour. So what did. What are the next. Well have to renotice this hearing and with corrected addresses well return return the nephews to you so you can see where the problems are and have our mailing consulate correct those to be remailed. You say it was to one particular development they were returned or no, from yes, from one particular development. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. So whats the recommended date for. Indefinite continuance. Reuse of mailing. Right. There is no date you have to actually reuse the notices so well have to find a new date, no use in continuing the matter a new date will be chosen. Commissioner antonini. Yeah. I have a question they said a second mailing so how soon shall we know the results of second mailing whether or not those railroad received. Im not sure what they were talking about. Maybe project sponsor give me more information on the fact the notices were sent out twice. Right twice so our original simulation six months of window when the hearing date is set up weve been if the process of 10 months we were required to send out a second mailing a month and a half ago. I can explain it now the original the Planning Department<\/a> does the mailing based on the materials sxhimentd by the applicant they provide us with the mailing addresses and the city sends out the mailing the first set of addresses they sent were more than because of the case with the department for longer than 6 months those addresses are considered outdated they presented us with a second set no initial mailing with those addresses we did the mailing based on the second set of addresses those are the responses returned. I understand only one mailing the question had is a reasonable amount of time there will be another mailing presuming within a week or to. The mailing is a thirty day mailing and we can do it fairly quickly once we get the revised addresses from the project manager theyll need to provide those and take them some. To put them together we can certainly is a a date 6 weeks out there if we dont make it well continue that. Id rather make that continuance youve renoticing. We have to. At least we have a date presuming that the message that the notices go out and only a small percentage come back im going to make a motion project sponsor lets say 6 weeks from now if that suits you to schedule the hearing on this item. Yep that will be great. Ill ask the Commission Secretary<\/a> and make that motion. That will be the 15th of october. Is that enough time. Mr. Lindsey october 15th its only 4 weeks. I mean the mailing is a thirty day mailing. We have to allow time for things to come back. Excuse me. Supervisors id like to Say Something<\/a> im part of the ownership of this project weve fall into this Virtuous Cycle<\/a> of the timeline that was received by the people f that needed to receive it because of countless changed by the Planning Department<\/a> it is expired so it is not because those people have not known about the project everybody has been notified and weve been complying for the locate it time this is causing the ownership a lot of pain this should be streamlined id like for us to try to see if we can continue to hear it today. Sir unfortunately, the Zoning Administrator<\/a> has determined we cant precede today he is the authoritative voice on that matter whether or not notice has been adequate. Each time a different deadline. I understand and completely simple sympathizes emphasis those were the labels that are submitted by your group. Previously. They were never sent, sir. The first set of notices not mailed they were simply extraordinary. They were mailed because we were in the process with the Planning Department<\/a> it expired and supposedly people","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"archive.org","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","width":"800","height":"600","url":"\/\/ia800501.us.archive.org\/24\/items\/SFGTV_20150913_180000_Mayors_Press_Availability\/SFGTV_20150913_180000_Mayors_Press_Availability.thumbs\/SFGTV_20150913_180000_Mayors_Press_Availability_000001.jpg"}},"autauthor":{"@type":"Organization"},"author":{"sameAs":"archive.org","name":"archive.org"}}],"coverageEndTime":"20240623T12:35:10+00:00"}
