When you have 18 thousand trees cut down and the stumbles treated with herbicides there is no way there will not be a magnificent increase in herbicides with the Natural Area Program is ready to use them, and, secondly, the eir talks about about the replacement of trees at present no proper record of trees cut down with size and species and location no way that the replacement is happening at the least the eir should be sent back to incorporate a detailed mitigation measure requiring proper recordkeeping and the accountability in the response to comments section of eir it says that all remembered trees will think replaced on a roughly one by one basis but not necessarily at the same location the actual project says the San Francisco natural areas will be replaced with native trees or grassland species in any case trees performed if a location impacts that area and in the trees lie between the freeway and the dense residential areas and helps to improve air quality over 8 hundred trees removed the impact that be significant but the eir didnt address this furthermore replacement with the sampling doesnt have the same effect of eggingology benefits of a would this hundredyearold tree only a fee native trees will be planted it is resulting for more trees that dont have the same benefits of the oneyearold trees that are removed thank you.

Commissioner moore and i like to ask that in the Historic PreservationCommission Discussion of 15 hundred Mission Building that i include historic photos of building that when it comes to the final eir will make that easier for people to comment to see what is looks like the building has at alternated over time and an emphasis on the elements that will be particularly integrated we those discussions that is a very nice job of recognizing the importance of building but the further backward the photographs will be helpful and a better appreciation of what were doing the second thing id like to ask i think that the streetcar spur i think it is the j line has a push back only the 11 streets of San Francisco i took a picture one day and as was coming up mission an old streetcar standing on 11 streets of San Francisco that was such an incredible compliment for celebrating the civic presence on the other hand, presence id like to see the historic spur explained for the eir together with the landscape plan important 11 streets of San Francisco figure out how to have a market about the phenomena a place for tourists to stop and experience the streetcar as you experience the turn around on the casual car when you saw that i was so surprised i thought that would be a great invitation for also certain retails to have restaurants which focused on the thing i cannot ask to have a start to just this into that but were obviously thats a good idea and it was amazing so can they do that which puts the car an spur ill explain it more otherwise im i feel comfortable thank you. Commissioners, if theres nothing further, well move on to 7 ab and pca for the text and zoning map to the creation of 1500 Mission Street special use district and little creation of the 1500 Mission Street special use district ass are two intents to initiative tilly chang Department Staff the actions before you as mentioned the initiation of two ordinance for the Mission Street development as long as the goodwill i take it project that allows the commission for the adaptation of proposed amendment around march 2015 to action is needed at this time for the general plan amendments for two maps map 3 the market and Affordable Housing and the downtown area plan the height was amended for the proposed 15 hundred market special use district youve heard about the october 27th informational hearing the second ordinance for the text and zoning map for the special use district i mentioned and one and the height and bulk match to effect in the case report and to reflect the boundary and a new section tore the Mission Street that rockefeller will allow for parking for the citys fleet in excess 0 of what is committed and of the fourth floor if the city not occupy the building and to the permit center and to address the parking when the conditions are in the area pursue this the special use district another amendments in the case rotator the 15 hundred for the downtown special use district we expect the general plan and the amendments to come before the commission after adaptation the Planning Commission that consider the project youve heard about the project before and the project is described in our case report to date the department has not comments and the Department Recommends the department approve and the general plan ordinances to clarify no action on the project itself will occur as a result of the initiation but consider it for adoption the future that concludes my presentation. And im available to answer any questions. Thank you. Is there a project sponsor no straight to Public Comment. The city is the sponsor. Public comment thank you. Sue hester i didnt have time to get my glaze cleaned off on commenting on the initiation because this is serious the Planning Department is going to use the eir i will submit extensive comments to decide whether or not to rezone this area every time the Planning Department didnt an area plan that says that has adopted perfect information that people should use in the next way evaluations of projects in various area plans that is one of them we have gone through Planning Efforts for the area around mission, south van ness, market, van ness and general area repeatedly going back about 20 years he every time you say we have perfect information you dont one of the difficult questions you have to face not only is the rezoning to pack the r make the Planning Department more happy by having a new building but traffic and the traffic situation in the area calling it the hub is out of control as the traffic situation near my office which which is between fourth and fist on market we have a lot of unregulated buses the google buses and loifl and uber and we have regulated the goals from the muni and the taxicabs and have unregulated vehicles like the empty buses that Wander Around hell and gone for the academy of Art University last time i talked to the head of mta about what information the city has developed it has to measure how the vehicles move on the streets right now and there is a satellite tracking device on where the munis are known knows where the lists are theyre a pit of anarchy and anyone doesnt recognize that and the impacts will have on this site is not petitioning they dont follow any laws and theyre not popped by the pardon me anyone in the so we will have a vacation and come back in january thank you. Is there any additional Public Comment . This is a potentially a procedural issue more than anything but for the west portal i was is there any way for the public to get comments. It was heard and approved. Nothing the neighbors can do at this point. You can appeal the project but at this time the project has been considered by the Planning Commission and already approved in the consent calendar you can still submit Public Comment at the end of the public calendar but the decision has been rendered at this point, i, appeal to it the board of supervisors. Okay. Okay. Any other Public Comment. For item 7. Okay not seeing any, commissioner johnson. Thank you thank you i appreciate the comment on the transportation impacts which are analyzed in the draft eir and this is a challenging site i actually think that development will bring you can a little bit more order to the area it is wed like find parking and the semi industrial use of goodwill site and so i think that having the city site will actually be a little bit more orderly for the entire area instead of of the scattered area i appreciate this project i like it has residential in it, it is a great mixed use project and excited about the chair mar facilities my one question for staff is the hpc had given comment that the preservation alternative are partial where preferable that results in the doortodoor of 15 hundred mist but the general plan amendments are for the proposed projects which is for demolition so id like to ask staff what im sorry if you all can comment on how the preservation alternative either full partial into the amendments that are were asked to be made today.
