ground facility like the other in town will be nothing but positive for and i guess floors below but i'd the community so i'll encourage you to look at the criteria on like to understand since the the application under the odor differential is close to the and make a decision based on the antenna within 6 or 7 feet land use and innovate the fears what's the r f levels. and unfounded fears of a handful >> i'm going to turn it over to my colleague. >> if i live in the penthouse of neighbors to look for the like the woman and child how patient in san francisco like many feet what is the r f 0

which shall age engineer in the state of 9 and eleven 12 he learned when california the levels at the penthouse actually are lower my partner had cancer 8 years ago i had to fulfill her than the nearby building because the direction of the antenna on prescriptions made me drive the picture the antennas have across town many mission no pointed west first and foremost and the penthouse to the north parking you know having so the location we find have accessibility for everyone is less than 16 percent of the i very important and it is a say 16 percent is the nearby family-friendly cancer happens to family when my children 9 and building across the street from mission street and the antennas are oriented in this direction i 12 down at the wharf in the hope that helps. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioner moore. >> for the fairness i think wharf spending our money it is disclosure he feel as we need to family-friendly having a medical cannabis dispensary didn't cause see a drawings that verifies riffraff and vagrants peep like where the residential units are myself have to go to a place and park and walk you know my i feel since we're living in a children can be in the housing shortage across the country crisis we need to be neighborhood i'll not drag them extra careful of how we address to the mission it is an housing unsighting way of hiding to go if the planner is not describing get medical marijuana so hopefully, you'll listen to the that housing is a use i have proponents and think about the access that citizens need on some problems we're not spending this side of city thank you. the attention e attention we need to pay open this i feel >> good afternoon. i'm will uncomfortable without seeing the with business owner in the fisherman's wharf been there drawings that disclosure e about a year own a motor vehicle disclose that to me. >> commissioner hillis. and gift shop on james weldon >> a question on noticing i johnson street want to express recognize you want the public to understand but part of noticing based on my one year how many to let the tenants know in the patients have comexa to me aski building that is happening so if about the near itselfxxxxxxxxxmx if where were they notified direct everybody toxxxxxxxxxxxx 1r7b8d. >> a notice it is mailed to lot of thexx' patients come to every property owner and building permit one within store nearby so based on my nine-hundred feet and on the experiexe andxx my nurse at the bernal height neighborhood we head center department a lot of her patients want to have safex had them initial all groups and and easy assess to the mcd and the similar process for the that's all i want to say today planning commission hearing over a three hundred foot boundary. thank you. >> that includes the tenant in >> good afternoon commissioner the building autopsy yes. i received phone call from the i'm david i'm with the tenants in the building. restaurants and 7 retail stores >> commissioner antonini. in fisherman's w÷rf been in the >> yeah. sir what's the residents are in those towers i area for 3÷ years there's no argument thatñ medicl would assume on the on top of marijuana is necessary for some drawings is that where the people and the medication that residents are living or in the people need to have we're not lower levels from the towers. here÷ to discuss if approved fo fisherman's wharf to bex9 the >> roughly 9 months i. center of an mcd we talk about families that are >> my understanding in the at desperate and the people all tower is the residents that involved in the area i've heard the community members to talking comments like well, you know there'sñ hardly any kid's walkig about the other tower, if you will, or penthouse is an office around oh, my god that's all we i don't believe anyone lives have is families and the crime there. >> she lives in one with her rates people say there is no significant interest in crime child and all the other rate the fact it the police residents are below. department is not allowed to >> what's the distance from the penthouse in which the collect data an mcds so this is speaker lives to the nearest something that it's a antenna. >> i believe 50 feet. misconception the fact i've >> 50 feet and, of course, i spoken to police officers can or will test r f emissions they've told me absolutely criminal and havingcy goes up from the when it is installed with relationship to that place and people enter seed buyers- as well as the unit. >> that's right that's part of conditions as the gentleman described we will be happy to inquiry with the planning to have that test done. the issue of accessibility there >> my final question the roof are 46 go dispensaries i is not for people to be understand you want to feel and wondering around or come up to see you have the right content the area the antennas. >> there's a community garden if you buy through it fruit that was referenced earlier by online you can buy marijuana on the access ladder or assess line it takes whatever i already stairwell to the roof there's a gate but won't stop someone is it is assessable in any search from walking across that roof to the location pursuant to the engine the argument it guidelines and the conditions we feasibility focusing it has 60 would have marking and signage million investors a year that's a lot of people if you think indicating the areas not to hang you'll drive into a parking lot out in speaks for itself. and park our car and get our >> that's fairly typical we medication i have news it is have projects where we have going to take you 6 hours and rooftop installations in residential buildings i think $50 before you get in not that is made clear that anyone who is on the roof is not assessable as you think this is advised not to approach the the driving point of my comments antennas. >> that's correct. >> so you would this is fair and mcds need to be part of city standard i mean there is some question in the original report affirmative action is absolutely not the place for mcds to be. whether or not there was residential units but the fact there are doesn't change that we >> next speaker and have the standards they've been (calling names) met and can be tested i don't that's me eugene thank you see whatever action i'm in favor commissioner president fong and commissioners i'm not a public of the project. speaker ensue have 4 relatives >> commissioner johnson. >> i'm sorry we're spending so in the area in the northeast much time i have to say the part of town beneficial to my packet is not helping today family 3 of the relatives are so a couple of things first of all, from the testimony of the over 80 years old currently i public comment sound like their don't know their business if closing the community garden they're taking medical cannabis that's part of the way like not but i believe in the future would be beneficial for them have people on the roof and i mean, i can't verify that i'm and as far as the police and crime and all this stigma people not the building owner but the are are talking about story is not in sync and i read authorities are watching people let's not say there isn't the bryan's report this is the distance that is used for the someone watching when something is going on i believe i've seen testing for the nearest location many cannabis clubs helping of the testing is 90 feet not 50 people to the front door she feet it is because of using have security succeed who i am nearby building that are similar yes, if you're waiting for a height and going back to no patient just wait audit residents units in the packet didn't look at people looking in everything is sdreets and kind this is 50 feet away my question this is for people that want to is something anyone ca can like relatives like my relatives request for any installation that are over 80 years old that need this as medication in the they find there are elevated privacy of their home and these levels at or near the tower what are property owners thank you. happens. >> one turn off the system or using a different type of system or changing the orientation to >> hello, i live in district 3 be away from the building the antennas are direction all how powell and sacramento street you rotate them is like a i've also there 10 years san residential rooftop nearby and francisco police commission most of my life a medical cannabis with respect to the rooftop area we did as part of request that patient one thing i've noticed none mentioned medical cannabis some of the existing abandon has been legal in california for small wireless facilities on the 20 years not like you know we've rooftop be moved away from the not have experience of meeting roof garden we have a people that used cannabis for a long, long time most people are conditioner their abandoned or - normal working people and the so the recommendation they remove the antennas away from statistics that back this up i public view. >> thank you. ran a cannabis doctors clinic >> one final thing my understanding is based we have a for 4 years downtown san state of these you know a time francisco and because i had access to patient records i ago we're moving away from the macro for the residential areas decided to do american people anonymous database to figure out with micro facilities given the the average age of a cannabis proposition e presentation in the packet i know the the patient 37 years old those are the people it is not verizon report looks at wait the need of the signal in the area predominantly gangsters it is and part of the definition how paramount people that have you get the information you need families family-friendly yes they are and people that have can you guys go over why the jobs they're not vagrants and decision was made on the macro people that use it responsibly facility maybe we should have responsible you don't buy marijuana if you can't afford it palm trees with you know make - you don't want to eye something >> a decision on what is that is addictive so you use proposed, however, in this case it fits with the pattern we have cannabis it make sense in my a site at the eagle building the neighborhood i go to this area taylor street it is convenient capital improvement plan didn't chose it a care looking at the not south of market and i think that a lot of the people in the neighborhood feel the same thing sites we'll see carriers wanting i don't understand why there is so much weird opposition from to use the macro sites instead merchant i don't know it effects of relying on small cells on poles this project does not appear to be unique or their business medical extraordinary it is something cannabises don't allow loitering we've seen somewhere but the so if you notice driven past a directions obviously the fake trees are to help with the dispensary not seeing a lot of loitering and gang stares an mature trees rooftops give>x th urban desirable people on photographs celebrating when i least intrusive way to make sure go down to youth or a sunday that they don't impair the use afternoon they look the is a same thing as everyone else in of buildings looks at or create the dispensary i don't other challenges as noise and understand the opposition and here to support the - this other anular effects of the location he appreciate you're mechanics on the rooftop. >> i'm going to make a motion time thank you. >> thank you. to continue the reason i want >> is there any additional public comment? the case report to reflect the okay fact that the ground and the analysis of the type of great, thank you installation to make sure it lines up with the facts on the >> all right. good afternoon ground of what is actually, the use in the building and the need commissioners i'm troy the for signals in the area from a executive director of fisherman's wharf representing the 25 members of the board of directors so san francisco is a signal so i'm not prepared to city that manages the this the make the decision today or weigh in on that i think having a advocacy and activists and consistent story brought to us working with the supervisors polk street wants to keep out banks and a starbuck's and place moratoriums on businesses from fillmore to valencia we work to identify those businesses that detract in the merchants that is what we're doing here for taylor street this is a real estate office a dentists office businesses that don't fit the businesses especially in a retail corridor it is unique and helps those partnering in tourism the streets similar to arbitrarily a jury members and in chinatown and powell between market and geary those don't contain the businesses those detract but to have our corridors not climatey or exclude the majority is a bad strategy to put this cbo perspective 15 retail shops and 6 companies and one hotel and at focusing 12 million visitors are not from the state of california this business will including exclude people walking this is not in keeping with the floor and undermines the planning commission to bring the shopping experience to the corridors in support of parklet fisherman's wharf public plan from 2010 it is part of ream and mixed use plan currently being worked on a holistic view of the wharf to make sure our demographics to attract the right kind of businesses for 12 million investors the letters for the dispensary allowed at this location decades when the wharf was industrial had railyards and no businesses supported this and the fact that is a neighborhoods this is not a neighborhoods serving district the walgreens and other don't contain pharmacies no one is advocating one of the last places for stone town and candle stick point we have the zone for this reason we need the conditional use authorization to look at our consideration and demographics and disapprove a pots dispensary at this location thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i'm one of the property owners who is adjacent to the location for the dispensary we have property along taylor street in halfway to taylor street to james weldon johnson street my concern here are not with - about the homeless element we've heard we have a lot of mental and alcohol and drug addicts down there given this type of element we are the communities have been struggling to contain the problem and help the homeless help the police and the outreach people and clean up the neighborhoods since people come off the cable cars and walk down that street in all the combined efforts we've been able to make small advances due to the amount of people concentrated in the area and due to the amount of lack of police at times, and due to the amount of crime and the accessibility to, am i correct? commit crime and obtain the money to buy the drugs nfl the drugs are they're only coping skills as far as medical use of marijuana i understand the need i don't believe this location is the rights location i feel that perhaps many of their customers will become soft target for the criminal elements knowing their carrying money or drug when they leave i also am concerned about an uptick in crime right now as you may know in san francisco we've an you enormous crime in theft especially in the streamline area of fisherman's wharf i can only see those problems increasing if an dispensary were to be in this area i have a brother who is 51 years old he was arrested in sausalito having drug paraphernalia having a loaded gun without the safety on with additional ammunition identification refusing arrest my brother has been doing drugs a great period of his life and a danger to himself and society nfl he's back on the streets and many of the years he did drugs the drugs railroad obtained from fisherman's wharf and many family member that had to try to help another knows the frustration and the walls you're up against i'm sorry ma'am, your time is up. >> >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is alexander are i represent 3 retail stores 1 on taylor street not go down to the potrero by fisherman's wharf is not safe fisherman's wharf is more unsafe every year and this location if approved will make that worse you know the reality is not everybody is as see composed they have those onerous i know 50 or 60 people that got marijuana cards for a sprained wrist not saying they'll linger but my fear on taylor street i don't have security outside of my door i strongly oppose this location. >> thank you. >> next speaker >> i'm you don't think i'm a project manager at a property on fisherman's wharf and live in the area and president of the fisherman's wharf cb d we reviewed the documents supplied and provided through the planning commission agendas our first concerns nefarious to those after review the floor plan and renderings and consulting with another dispensary we believe this location contains a lot of red flags that shows the lack of experience staff has in operating a mcd many of the dispensaries have school district they control the access and keep a watchful eye on the sidewalk it appears to be an open storefront that invites easy egress and ingress thisla sitting behind the - the dispensary didn't have its own bathroom and shares with 6 other businesses and this posed a safety problem as they and the just a few minutes properties have found homelessness people sleeping in the hallways and experience break in the manager and other persons are the only people that have access it is not ada assessable and therefore it is in violation of americans with disabilities act by making it hard for a disabled person you've been told the wharf struggles with the constant management of those who target our visitors we have organized a crime group who con visitors out of thousands of dollars future materials con people out of money and constant vandal lynching the cv d cleans up feces and urine from taylor street to show you guys a few pictures of the mcd area here's one a few doors down rotate that yeah. >> this is across the street just around the corner. >> across the street and another 1 across the street we don't believe that people who need medical marijuana all those people the issue is there after speaking with sfpd on multiple occasions it was repeating this willes operate the problem. >> thank you. next speaker, please and good afternoon, commissioners i'm eric i'm the director of sales at gray line san francisco we are located and have been located for over 10 years on taylor street the proposed addresses a lot of our concern our main concerns from the online business in which we'll have share an address with the proposed business most of our customers say 70 purchase in advance online those folks refer to reviews found an google amongst other website and the wholesalers; right? a basic search of this address will bring up both businesses we are concerned it will effect our business people are search and find this location excuse me. as opposed to our business and furthermore, reviews we host about three hundred thousand customers from all over the world and the country majorities domestic i hear stigma and unfortunately, there is a stigma that stigma is a negative one and no judgment an whether or not it is right or wrong but will effect our business because it is a neighbor essentially actually john addressed the back corridor we utilize for restrooms and concerns will be not necessarily the customers or not the customers excuse me. the patients that are visiting that are getting their prescriptions our concern will be theft, robbery and the easy way that backdoor to assess not knowing the security or lay out you're concern is sharing that back entryway and our online business that will be affected thank you >> hello monotony project manager and the shopping center at fisherman's wharf bounds by james weldon johnson and other streets when the applicant was asked to provide a reason to why they wanted to open a pot dispensary in the heart of the tourism it was sited a lack of pot dispensaries our contention that refraining and other concern the residents of barbary coast and other dispensaries located in the setting on howard and first our our understanding that the placing pitting a pot dispensary looking lombard and peers modern in addition to the existing 25 brick and mortar dispensaries throughout the city 45 companies that deliver marijuana to the doorstep we're concerned the dispensary will impact the high leasing rates one property owner shared one pots dispensary was so aggressive and wanting to get a footprint asked for a double rent rate and some of the highest rates in the city particularly alarming they're small businesses that can't compete with a businesslike a pot dispensary in summary we don't want a medical cannabis there we don't need one thank you. >> hello my name is brandy i represent two restaurants at fisherman's wharf i'm on the fisherman's wharf cv d this it is clear that the dispensaries close to the schools for children 18 and under is a southern as written to into the criteria for determination within 2 thousand 0 feet we have francisco and galileo high school and the headstart program no recreation but we want to ask the commission it to expand the idea of a reservation for those under 18 we believe that the entire fisherman's wharf district a reservation facility for children under 18 the surveys in 2006, 2010 and 2014 we know that the wharf welcomes 3 million kids within a thousand foot radius of taylor street is the san francisco evolving and believe it or not and the spy shot unique to the wharf it the fact we allow the small groups that participate in programs with the national hyde street pier and other shakespeare's furthermore, we have a large number of children coming in and out of the district because of hotels in the area not conference hotels their family hotels consider also there would be family entertainment venues added to the wharf currently family owns and others to open arcades and team building sources for companies and small groups many talk about investigating recreational marijuana but essentially, we have that now and can go to an evaluation and tell the doctor you have a problem and have a prescription get a membership cards only thirty to 40 minutes making you're decision consider the bye product of a dispensary at fisherman's wharf currently not medical marijuana clinics in fisherman's wharf but that will likely change with the pot dispensaries opening and targeting the visitors workplace the state of california one only look to convenience us beach imagine had the future with pot doctors and machinery solicitation how proud of the wharf will we be there then please consider these thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm rachel brown i work to the fisherman's wharf communities benefit district i also have done contract work with 8 different businesses within the thousand mile radius of taylor street and i'd like to say i have been in strong opposition of that business since we've received notice of application alu both our organization and the petition online and within the communities our petition was shared within fisherman's wharf and the mc-3 district one hundred and 13 signatures business owners and property owners and hotel general manager and workers and residents people with truly vested interest in the well-being of the neighborhoods the applicants online petition received a large number of signatures the vast majority of signatures don't live within the state of california let alone fisherman's wharf and it's neighboring districts they are medical marijuana videocassettes from all over the world not locals that understand the unique nature the proposed location how it threatens the neighborhood identity of the few san franciscans is as i understand the petition excuse me. >> oh, of the few san franciscans is as i understand the petitions on the residents they listed they already have pot dispensaries much closer to handle their needs we believe the intention to get the foot holds for the time when pot will think legalized in california as members of the planning commission plan ahead for the fire chief currently 12 pieces of legislation that may result in the recreational shops in the future if using colorado as an indicator of what is to come we saw a large increase of pots for recreational use not colorado has recreational uses in clusters not a good fit we have the had an to avoid the same situation now to be clear i myself as a fisherman's wharf district organization and our board of directors have no problems are marijuana erma distinctly use or otherwise many of the board members are not opposed, however, we are all in agreement the proposed location on taylor student is not appropriate thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? okay not seeing any, public comment is closed. and opening of up to commissioner antonini >> thank you all for your testimony very interesting i put a lot of credence in the positions by the traditional businesses from fisherman's wharf to fisherman's wharf association the communities benefits district and many business owners that have been a significance and important part of the economy we want to make sure we don't disturb their ability to do business a few points were made the idea that patients will buzz in and out and park easily is often it is tough to find a parking space in the wharf the the citing is not a good one and also the other points that was brought up could be any kind of neighborhood serving the business that i might be opposed they're serving the those who are coming tourist and other to the wharf for attempt not a lot of neighborhoods serving use within this particular dense part of fisherman's wharf area that is an important part going through the petition the last speaker made the point a large percentage a majority of those signing the address outside of san francisco and daily and brisbane and reds wood city and many are quite. >> distance some people that work he live in the area are supportive buses putting in positive comments in work or live in the area they make a good point there are problems as pointed out the dispensary maybe well run once patient is out there with cash or product on the street it is another opportunity for criminal elements just as they pick on tourists it is easy enough to rehab people and grab cash and the product we approved the one on lombard and polka whole butch california street most are delivery but an onsite element we already have closed to thirty in san francisco i think and tech the city hall's like francisco and galileo are within 15 hundred feet their away but a lot of kids this was denied in 2006 i remember that case and there are no dispensaries in marin or san mateo we get as many as question possible can within san francisco so apparently either people in marin or san mateo don't need the medication but those counties don't feel it is appropriate to have more dispensaries i want to see it region listed another interesting thing the pharmacies in the area are not parliaments the cvs and walgreens don't have dispensaries and medication so the same thing can apply for the same reasons the area didn't seem to be well laid out a shared presence there the gray line and other businesses in the same location that's a little bit christmas eve i'm not sure it is laid out the best and another point brought up not discussions we have formula retail use formula retail they have at wherewith all to drive out small businesses had this industry is a lack active one that's why you're seeing so many they have the big bucks and a start to think are we driving away renters at a lower rents by allowing those kinds of thing they're not formula retail but some of the things we have concerns exist with medical marijuana dispensaries so i'm opposed to this location it doesn't sound like the right one that's how i'll be voting and commissioner moore. >> it's an interesting conversation it gets more interesting as we hear additional applications prop 21 has a 1996 supported overwhelm majority of 67 percent in 2006 i started to sit in this seat at a point it was a discussion by which many of the arguments that were made for it were highly relevant and appropriate including some of the krechlz about prejudice they're not the same one this commission has except for one or two i'm not sure anymore in the last 10 years approved every mcd and given attention to the adding conditions that are responsive to particular neighborhood conditions and those were the things we're focused on today's discussion it is about land use not about the real estate and opportunity to fill space but it is about land use vanity that can before and after have to be complimented or perform better or impacted i feel it is a conflict the people who spoke defines against it made arguments it resonated with me the roof and as a san francisco recipe i don't go down there as often this is an open space an area of people really experiencing an open space aspect the open space from the america's cup to the dead on arrival fin clubs and warner club and other things sometimes the golden gate bakery to watch how bread is made that has an attractiveness i'll step back and is the bar of supporting mcds since 1996 has seriously shiftsd not about location and radius with saying and quarter of a mile radius is nothing it is an inappropriate comment but since some of the businesses have shifted into online and delivery with the person that needs cannabis cable of choosing the disinterest and the type of medication he building the brick and mortar of further and furthers fading into the background now location and i like to address the gentleman who actually was representing today's applicants we just approved not too along a location on california street light in the lower blackstone block of california which has a large set of office suits in the support of the online targeted high ends highly quality control delivery of marijuana so i'm asking myself we're pressured for brick and mortar i believe the wrong place at the wrong time and wear not taking into consideration we're also simultaneously supporting the online clearing time of the office space in the financial district that someone a can walk and pick up marijuana so looking at all the factors this location isn't quite the right one for me i don't think i'll support it. >> commissioner richards. >> the last commission nearly 16 months i've never voted against a mcd any of them i think two of them or 3 of them i led the charge to have the business on lombard against fierce opposition a month ago personally i absolutely support safe assess with medical cannabis dispensary 3 blocks from my house church and marketed a business for the neighborhood it is i think completely independent of the homeless or is vac vagrancy crossing a vacant street it is causing the vagrancy so i think that vacant storefronts are causing for vagrancy, however, mr. campbell cited this in a different lens in the parallel of other issues identify been personally involved with the starbuck's and mission and the spade store and really trying to understand here the sflabdz and the businesses this is one of the few places in san francisco where i personally think that an mcd doesn't belong cast a vote to disapprove the project other things that weigh on me it is walgreens and cvs didn't have a pharmacy i think that active use this will discourage the foot traffic and so like a private club absolutely support mcds this is the only time this is an xierldz exceptional circumstance to vote no, my advise to the folks at fisherman's wharf protect our business district and ask you're supervisor to require a cu in the future so i'll vote no on this. >> let me add a couple of thoughts here in 2006, i was actual on the odds and part of group that was opposed to the cannabis dispensary up north beach which i think you're sitting in the same seat as supervisor mar so the commission was opposed and denied that they're the same if not stronger for the reasons from a land use issue many anymore accessibility in the city the delivery component is there people sort of juggle i say this more mcds in san francisco so we're not lacking we approved within in the northern part of district a couple of questions first of all, i appreciate all the speakers an long time audience in patience and absolutely everyone of the stores he hope i don't become in a physical condition but look for that as a medication or my family does the way the stores is laid down with the generous ground floor lobby that is inviting to the public didn't speak to me there for patients like yourselves many chiropractic office this is an incredibly if not the district in san francisco to it varies between ground floor and second floor by 5 fold so takes so much of the ground floor space i think that is that you serve those types of patience it is a retail business and intend to be a retail business so i have a concern about that and maybe sir, can you address did ada question about the managers and other on the second floor with direct assess. >> actually there's a storage over on the ground floor where the dispensary will actually be that can actually be - hold the cannabis in the back this with regards to the comments about it being not safe the individuals come into the front door here and there is a counter they'll show their valid id. >> my question if it is ada compliant and the upstairs office is for storage. >> the upstairs is the project manager office and storage where the cannabis will be distributed and common barrooms in the building. >> i met with the mayor's office they're coming plenty and we'll have a list. >> thank you. >> commissioner hillis. >> so, i mean those are tough issues we get a lot of people arguing on both sides some of the good things about the location here is it is not directly on the main drag of fisherman's wharf but it is fairly small and narrow storefront i share some of the commissioner president fong's concerns he august for them to be a little bit more open than typical there is gates and bars and a sometimes guards there but i think if we were to approve something here the design will actually be for the district two open and welcoming in shouldn't look the way it is but - there is no other mcd fairly close by had issues with cluster which we don't have necessarily in this district the question of kind of i've argued in the past available shouldn't be going into retail districts shouldn't be considered retail in nature we try to discourage medical offices in districts we don't - these but they share similar traits 33 we should discourage them and encourage on the second floor having medical office space the codes encourages you to be in retail districts, of course, when we broadened this discussion it is ineventual this will be legal we'll have more of those in places especially along retail corridors what do we do in retail areas but it is acute here in fisherman's wharf where it is one of the most heavily trafficked retail districts and having better areas with non-retail space is problematic i agree with commissioner johnck's that a lot of what we heard about crime or homeless don't resonate with me i live 2 1/2 blocks from mcds i have 3 kids 10 and under not a big impact on us but the biggest impact i see is actually from people dough it takes up a retail space so this is the cvs brought that up my biggest concern of the heavily trafficked corridors having the use there one question for the project sponsor which came to me why is this location for something that is serving you know more neighborhoods serving you're in our kind of central tourists designation as some pointed out not easy to get there and park and go in and have a neighborhood where we see neighborhoods serving trader joe's or parking lots are there why choose this area i mean is the green zone having broader areas and reducing the radius around schools and things like that it tends to restrict the number of mcds and that's why wear seeing the clustering in south of market but have you looked at year ago did you choose that location and have you looked at other districts around the city. >> there are many reasons he spent the first 6 months of this year working closely with the planning department andñññ÷÷÷÷ñy pulled four l o directors throughout the intent city that was based on my own going through every neighborhood of the city under served for the people that reside> abo?e? fisherman's wharf and another reason one thing i haven't heard anyone talk about they've recently opposite side up the hardware story 40 feet from my store an hr their businesses that are residents focused in the neighborhood and another reason is that i followed the guidelines laid by the mayor's office and city planning that was deemed you know and agreed upon by the l o d for the green zone to open. >> but you mentioned those 4 kind of adjacent neighborhoods in the city that i think people referenced in you're petition showed people that also in the neighborhoods are they off limits fair not part of green zone but did you look at those neighborhoods. >> i did and the area where i am on trailer street was the pretty much the only green area on that whole side of the city in district 3. >> okay. thank you. >> i mean that is something that we've got to address thank you you know because it is probable i don't think so that is the best area in the city to put on mcd it not serving one because of he heavy retail nature and not serving the people it is not residential you're drawn to it because it is in the green zone and we've put-down those kind of arbitrary restrictions on the green zone like the over concentration a fisherman's wharf it is part of green zone but like the excelsior and soma vaunt the one or more thing i want to go back to the accessibility in parking in the area there is actually an empty not an empty but parking lot directly across the street from the storefront that housed 2 hundred cars within one plain clothes radius 4 additional parking garages and in my business plan you'll see where i offer that parking validation to individuals. >> thank you commissioner wu. >> i kind of want to pick up on the conversation that commissioner hillis is having the green zone is very limited and i think the challenge ahead of us will be to find a way to have sorts of kraebl distribution and my guess on a few anymore neighborhood locations that will you know that can meet the criteria in the green zone ensue not having clustering challenges so that leads me to be clients in support of project i agree storefront changes that seems quite open and there needs to be ways to talk about garbage it is in the motion garbage and recycling and communities liaison and all that what will happen we'll continue to see mcds proposed and we may then start to see the position we can't say supports any of them that indicates something needs to change with the way we're beginning the green zone to the questions of land use it is challenging that the underlying land use e.r. zoning is c-2 so you know fisherman's wharf should be treated differently i wish we could look at it in the light of this name irving and every neighborhood has named district and this is the toughest area a definition by fisherman's wharf is not a c-2 the way that the rest of downtown is c-2 not downtowns but the c-2s function it makes without the distinction it makes it harder to talk about it definitely than land use. >> if i may i want the public to know this commission we hear those mcds items once a month sometimes twice a month and every single one we spend as much time their addressed by address and we'll see the commissions not necessarily acting in the same way we're thinking about each one and given tare circumstances i don't mean to put director rahaim but the last two comments about the green zone and also i've mentioned that at the last meeting some marijuana become legal on the 2016 ballot are we as a city prepared and how will we approach that that pvrld when it becomes legalized what's the measures if i'm poster of a moratorium put one on these in the city until is it so legalized with a plan in action. >> yeah. commissioners a couple of interesting questions i'm not sure i have a great answer by the green zone is, of course, some clustering as many of you may know in some parts of the city some the supervisors require a conditional use rather than a mandatory discretionary review the conditional use is the higher bar that the bar is necessary and desirable but troirldz circumstance that is one factor if our stand point as commissioner hillis said we've discussed the possibility with the supervisors loosening up the requirements we think that is unfortunate that some of the mcds have been clusters and the commissioners have raised that concern respect to the legalization it is hard to know until the actual legislation move forward but i suspect a transition that allows for addressing of the issue the mcds and the on that allows for time for cities like san francisco or any 71 to understand the relationship two the existing mcds and the potential legal locations to buy marijuana so the city i believe is setting or set up a task force to look at that on or about i think to date that task force has not zealot with land use issues it is time it does and get a seat on that task force a lot of unanswered questions at this point we don't know until legislation at the state level move forward. >> i think i speak for the fuel commission we would like to assign someone to follow that and whatever variations of the ballot measures and if anyone should pass how we treat that going forward. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much yeah. for that question commissioner president fong and was actually going to say something i love to see us move towards a moratorium we need more clarity and between a rock and hard place on the decisions and then adding the commentary i appreciate the fact that the committee sew doing that work and hope we get a seat apple that i envision it will not answer all the questions but look at the zoning codes and planning code not going to change anything about that so i'm glad we're starting to look at this - i you know like to keep things simple a lot of times this is one of the civic center yes don't i worry about that this area would not zoned c-2 or potentially a special use district donna today worry about that maybe the resource had a bar of a cu yes there are a lot of facts on the ground i wish were in place they're not we have a circumstance this is an area within the so-called green zone i don't necessarily see new extraordinary circumstances that is compatible with the type of clientele that comes in or a detriment you believe that is crime risks and problems enough and having this land use there contributes to or x base those problems whether i believe that this use is not at this meeting a general population going from storefront to storefront that normally anyone can but now where it is a specific use you believe that that is compatible or not none of those are part of decision about a discretionary review it would be different if it was a sud but unfortunately not the case overwhelm to supports it today i don't know if this is before this if it sounds like support for this i definitely think there are conditions that i would want to see around clarifying security of retail space and clarifying the layout i think that is open so from a physical stand point that is good because you don't have what we see in others mcds go where tare closed off with boards on the windows and guards with guns standing outside the goorz did you with that and not to have the staff will overwhelmed so we'll see where we end up there is conditions i would want to impose on this space otherwise because of the zoning we have here because of the rules we have where mcds can go locate themselves and the fact on the ground the type of level of decision we're asked to take i have to support it. >> commissioner antonini. >> well, the unusual and extraordinarily conditions pointed out to the analogy between market and grant avenue and chinatown you could say the and were around at&t park where the warriors arena and certain areas for lack of a better word people come if all over the world i think this can be disruptive to a six situation that is precars and all the merchants don't feel it is right here he tend to agree with them it is speed limit to be neighborhood serving and people of whom are in the area and some outing outside of the area and loektsd somewhere else i know we don't have a lot of not like we have a lot of dispensaries not the appropriate i'll move to take dr and disapprove. >> commissioner moore. >> perhaps that application comes to us after state law passes this would be an oxygen position but that's not the case i think that is get is not quite there because of physical requirements for asking you the space is not typical for this particular area not the rights dedication at this very moments and for those reasons he can't support that. >> commissioner hillis. >> yeah. i think i mean i mean, i agree with the comments it a fine-grain land use on the second floor i think that is was a block off in a less of a retail area you know we could support it i do want to note on the courage we should get a spot on the committee that is looking at the owner of legalization it is coming obviously and i know land use is important because i think we can't have this issue we're arrest trig limit because of the green zone doesn't make sense and puts us in the positions we're looking at clustering or no mcds in spaces in questions if you have an mcd did it automatically move you into allowing that as a recreational spot we looked at mcds under a different somewhere so i think we should broadened the place and not necessarily have the differentiation but if so legal and recreational should be allowed in fisherman's wharf downtown and in the outdoor sunset or richmond's it is important to get a seat at the table. >> if i may quickly aaron is corrected me to tell me the task force is meeting starting next month under supervisor wiener's supervision we have a seat at the table i stand corrected. >> sxhifshgs. >> two commissioners heard possible myself mentioning the interim controls i would suggest i don't know how the process will work but under planning code section this commission initiating the controls we have clarity on the legalization i want to put that out there and have a hearing on that. >> perhaps i'll suggest what happens with the task force i'm sure the interim controls b will be discussed. >> commissioner moore. >> that was a robust discussion i'll ask the direction to have a transcript that might help you as you're starting to have this into the upcoming dissuasions commissioner johnson. >> i'll take interim colsls it is moratoriumols speaking to changing the guidelines for the cases before us i think as we got rid of in 2016 not see the case for a while and finally i agree with commissioner antonini actually on some of the comments he made about the comparison of fisherman's wharf neighborhood to other uses the attempt sorts of district we have and again going back to any comments if we want to change the facts on the grounding i would propose that the supervisor for the districts or those interested in that push for that in the example the warriors arena as part of approval forlgz that project the successor agency those are the sources of zoning districts that really clarify the types of uses and a pathway here. >> commissioners there's a motion to move forward. >> commissioner antonini. >> commissioner hillis commissioner johnson marry no commissioner moore commissioner richards. commissioner wu no are and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes passes 5 to 2 >> the commission will take a lunch break andhour. >> good afternoon and welcome back to the planning commission welcome to the regularly scheduled meeting of the one-size-fits-all during the proceedings. and when speaking before the commission, if you care to, do state your name for the record. commissioners, we left off under our regular calendar on item 13 for case no. projecting signs in the neighborhood regional transit. >> again aaron manager of legislative foyers that amends the planning department force the signs in the district up to one and 25 square feet in size and 60 feet in height, however, the maximum height it is the features the sign they must be is arranged verizon and must be interrupt the features the building and projecting signs in the district are 24 square feet and 24 feet in height those controls were draft with the financial in mind that is sunday evening to add a marquee sign those controls can you used by other businesses provided they meet the retirement on the neighborhood and architectural integration 3 modifications to strengthen the sign controls which require the signs to have a tormentor with a profile to be at narrowly narrow and structurally as feasible and require the sign forces assassination during business housing as hallow leslie one per building for the occupant of the building to strengthen the controls to make sure the signs will be of qualify staff recommendation for modifications and that concludes my report. >> i'm sorry supervisor conner johnson from supervisor president london breed office is here. >> good afternoon conner johnson lavrdz the the item before you is per legislation the district 4 mr. star did an excellent job you'll talk about the context of this legislation the of him corridor fillmore neighborhood is a real currently and historic jewel in san francisco gave us the fillmore or the harlem of the west excuse me. and the financial auditorium a critical component and a landmark that tells us such arrived in the neighborhood that is why supervisor president london breed feels that is important we have a reserve from the lower organization i wanted to briefly men's we ethnicity support this and she reiterates the point the first name is a welcoming gateway to the neighborhood much in the same way the potrero theatre it the welcoming feature to the potrero it serves the same function on behalf of supervisor president london breed i'm here and i'll be happy to answer any questions project sponsor. >> there is no project sponsor opening it up for public comment i have gone speaker card andrea barker. >> okay. >> hi commissioners, thank you for giving us the time i'm the general manager that was born when i served on the mcd and the community came and said they wanted to clean up the corner from tourist in the neighborhood a subject of merchants meetings so we did 0 don't ever that the code requires the as i understand to be low on the ground i ground we engaged supervisor breed and the planning department on a way to get that sign up and properly represent the building and the entrance to the corridor thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? okay public comment is closed. commissioner antonini >> yeah. a question looks like this is going to be a blade sign and any other signs were allowed for other businesses will be blade signs two probable. >> that's correct the lettering has to be vertical. >> okay sounds like fine i'll move to approve. >> second. >> with modifications suggested by staff if they're okay with the supervisors office. >> very good supervisors a motion be seconded to disappointing adopt a recommendation commissioner antonini commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner wu and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 6 to zero and places you on item 14 bay street conditional use authorization. >> good afternoon. brittany of the department staff you have before you a question for conditional use authorization to demolish a chevron automobile service station with a residential building on a property greater than 10 thousand square feet in a c-2 zoning district it is approximately 49 thousand square feet and 42 off-street parking and 40 bicycle parking spaces the corner configuration the project requires the rear yard modifications for dwelling unit exposure that will be heard by the city administrative, however, the rear yard modification is not properly noticed the variance request has been continued to the january 27, 2016, variance hearing and will be heard by the zoning administrator at this point given no opposition and that the project compiles with the zoning code with the general plan the department is comfortable moving forward with the conditional use with the recommendation of approval that concludes my presentation. i'll be happy to answer any questions thank you. >> project sponsor. >> honorable planning supervisor and staff and ladies and gentlemen, i'm mark i'm the president addressed founder of presidio partners the 16-year-old san francisco real estate company and the project sponsor been a real estate developer and built on and on over 200 projects we're doing over nine hundred projects in san francisco we had the fox plaza block from here i've lived close to the subject property for the past 16 years two blocks from the property where i raised my too young sons i care deeply about what happens in the marina i've been involved in the community and serving on the child abuse council and services to the homeless and preschooler and was instrumental in helping to get the jazz concert hall builds our company is condominium to building projects in the surrounding neighborhood as with autumn the projects we reached to the neighborhood to understand and design a project that addresses them and anymore specifically in the past summer a community outreach meeting with 10 separate meetings with those who wanted additional information this rebuttal in receiving 9 letters of support 40 from the neighborhood adjacent to the site and a letter of support from the marina inconsistent association as a result of the feedback if the neighbors we redesigned the building to increase the setback from our neighbor to the east resulting in our building 35 feet from their knowledge that actually is what triggered the split in the variance hearing because it was conforming before it was originally before the building come forward to the neighbors concerns the setback as a result for - our goal to design a high quality this that is with the adjacent historic this and have a timely building will be a beautiful addition to the marina architect i'll introduce our architect to give a brief oh, overview and ask for your support today thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners and the practice of our small san francisco firm has been to do and design buildings that are connectingly beautiful the site being located in the center of the aerial view in the lower right hand corner and the unit there is a live called the heritage on the marina any brick building that has great historical character here you can e get a sense the upper view on bay street address the lower laguna on the left as you can see the gas light building on the corner and slightly different expressions take the next here's the slightly aerial justify of the street on laguna the building is designed as four stories 40 feet high and along bay street modules 25 feet typical san francisco module and bay windows and slots and size to make distributions between the laguna here's the site i'm sorry - thank you. >> mark. >> site plan so you can see the corner the corner is a mixing tooth in the fabric of the block human resources here's the ground level plan the main library is off the bay street to the right-hand side and the auto ramp off the buchanan on the ned of the block due to several reasons improves of bike safety and it is the lower elevation the site a 6 feet sloping to the east next a compact one level basement with 42 parking spaces next. >> the elevations the principle materials are brick glass, some metal detailing, and here as you can see on the top elevation that is bay street the vertical slots of glass to give the building a townhouse or neighborhood character that is projected and wrapping the corner of buchanan next so those are the what i call the inside elevation the lower one of the east elevation that faces the apartments we've widened the setbacks as mark said i'll call the courtyard view think the top the section on the upper section the two-way to enter buchanan street they help give privacy to the grades activating the street and this is a view in the buchanan side as you can see the garage entering the for ground and lafco at the courtyard we with we call the greenhouse and the peeked roof in the for ground and again, we choose to have a glass her expression on the north side of the building to give the impression that the massaging it step down toward the site and finally i'll leave you with this one that is a shot from the you know the principle corner where the two streets enter second and to the side of corner with that, i'll leave it to you folks to ask any questions aid last week thank you. >> opening it up for public comment one speaker card (calling names) public comment? >> eugene lynch i'm the the same block and on the paper it is equal it out out vacant for so long it would be nice to have something go in there the gas station served it's purpose at the time it would be a great addition to the block i formally spoke to this gentleman during recess they have their plan definitely together and answered a couple of any questions i would say one issue and this might be more traffic than parking there's a tremendous amount of traffic there the 43 safeway trucks and there's buses he private buses to fort mason and the goodwill that has a lot of traffic people parking anywhere they want and basically breaking the rules parking in the head or yellow zone to congestion on the northeast corners i want to brought to your attention and also i won't see you probable have a merry christmas. >> thank you very much. >> is there any additional public comment okay not seeing any, public comment is closed. commissioner moore. >> sense 209 that particular lot is disruptive to the feeling in the neighborhood the neighborhood it requirement low rise and the street is rather wide and across the street is a huge park in the edge of the park the cause of it being less populated has actually been a problem over the past few years ago seeing this building step in not the loss of another gas station that's another subject but a fabulous project to have at that site i like about it, it is so understated pet e yet so lovnt contemporary it eases you're prospective of architecture i apologize not knowing that is laguna and bay hopefully. >> heritage and it is absolutely a fabulous building and coming down and seeing this now blend into to make the building on the corner of laguna a ranch large are apartment building tracking would be upgraded to presence of a high-end building i couldn't be happier to see that i'm aware the problems with goodwill there could be providing some people including myself to have coffee on the way we go but to mitigate the conflict with perhaps 28 whatever numbers should have a response that is a collective responded i'll suggest we find a way to really ask that there is no furtheres probating situation so for a fall back to have people round into goodwill but that's a 10 minute time i'm in full support of project and move to approve with conditions. >> second. >> let me share some thoughts i know the block very good my gather built and developed the building next door it was probable not architectural interest rate you're looking for but out find his back pocket in 72 or 73 but obviously the retail place will be great i see parking improvements along bay street with diagonal but what is cool they separate is it from the curve to have a protected bike lane that is great i'm supportive and i hope you don't find any underpinning problems commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i very much like it two in particular 61 percent two bedroom and three bedrooms i was hoping to stay with the brown rust masonry and keep it uniform so one does it was all red but all the same color and the clay black on the window that is long time and the combination make that blend in with an historic building so - >> commissioners, if there's nothing further location to approve that matter with conditions. >> commissioner antonini commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner wu and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes 6 to zero and places you on item 15 for case mission street it is an office development authorization. >> good afternoon, commissioners rick department staff the the item before you is an office development authorization for 35 thousand plus square feet at the mission street the proposal the change in use of a approximately 35 thousand from auto garage less repair to office use the basement an first and second floors the proposal will undertaking under take the facade the replacement with a new system stone the ground floor replacement of the windows observe the upper floor with compatible windows and the removal of a guardrail i've provided copies for your review and this incorporate the title block and a title page after analyzing the instead of recommends approval with the planning code in the general plan the project is in a zoning district that encourages the growths of office development and represents 3.2 percent of office space for allocation and current rates that pays the impact fees and the project sponsor is available for questions that concludes my presentation. i'll be happy to answer any questions thank you. >> project sponsor please. if you commissioners john with reuben, junius & rose here on behalf of the project sponsor the project the item before you eliminates a parking space to convert to the structure to an office building the existing building consists of 36 thousand square feet of paid parking and modern automobile repair use and to exert to a office that was built in 1927 the building is undergoinging and seismic upgrade the project significantly fulfills the goals of vision zero policy and this is for over the last couple of years to eliminate traffic fatalities by 2024 soma is one of the highest levels of death and injury and mission street is a high injury corridor the projects eliminates all angling automobile access to the student and 50 foot's curb cuts and reduces the conflict of pedestrians and bicyclist and the first policy and an active use for the experience along the street so in short the project eliminates a parking garage and improves the bicycle safety and a high corridor and reverse the look of the 1927 building for those purposes we ask for your support. >> opening it up for public comment. >> not seeing any, public comment is closed. >> commissioner richards and that is a great project for all the reasons all of mentioned he love the look of the, and especially last week the fact their donating a curb cut so i definitely support. >> commissioner moore. >> i have a question for the gentleman have - again, you know my propensities towards finding a way to protect pdr has there been any discussion with but and you're client regarding the 101 replacement and identifying new sites or anything like that you know this building is for all intents and purposes to help with pdrs this is near and dear to my heart and oh, someone will take care of this has there been an active engagement in replacing the pdr. >> certainly something we discuss during the process because of this exact issue commissioner moore with the sensitivity around the pdr in the south of market it is mostly a parking garage a tire repair tinker with you're motor vehicle in the basement and so space the building owner had other than the paid parking not an intelligent pdr use outside of that with difficult years we're converting to an office space and the kind of use that is not generally consistent with other pdr use on the site the short answer that is something we've looked and we know that is something to consider but ultimately this is the project that the project sponsor settled on. >> commissioner antonini. >> move to you approve. >> commissioner moore. >> and was p,z&e, finance governance over with you said i want to ask the director perhaps that maybe an opportunity for starting to formulate policy we cannot continue to displace pdr even if the parking garage is displaces a number of jobs and employment at the core of protecting pdr we find quite curious by indeed a beginning of formulating how we deal with displacement and where i think we - i urge all of us to take that seriously because we are cranking up our discussion on housing how to solve the housing problem we need to start talking about simultaneously the issue of job loss and displacement of employment. >> happy commissioners just as what we are doing on the front the central soma plan has a one-on-one replacement having that discussion with folks in want mission and the mission 2020 and also probable time to come back with an update on pdrs we're actually there is actually three or four thousand square feet of space that is under construction or in the pipeline it is the first time we've seen the pdrs use we're encouraged that is in any pdrs space being built in the city potential more than half a million square feet so i think that is time to update you and that accumulation how we're trying to protect the pdr and the office of economic workforce development has a policy to try to relocation the businesses in the city with redevelopment we're sensitive to that on or about we're concerned about pdr as well i'm happy to have that discussion moving forward. >> and interested if we take a look at our own track read into the record in the last two or three years to see what is it the new pdr spaceless and what the basically only capture what we lost so holding the conversation a little bit what we're discussing not effects the decisions right now but in the future of replaceing will make it easier for me to support the building design a fabulous no questions there but other issue remains unanswered and commissioner antonini and yeah. i think that is an area where a lot of residential being built not far away in trinity plaza and the soma grants not too far in the other discretion is 5 m a other was use sits well, not saying we don't need to protect and promote pdrs but pick and choose our areas that is better stevedored by issues in the existing parking facilities there is a a lot of parking in soma that the available. >> commissioner johnson. >> yeah. just a quick comment and question so i agree that i think we need to be thinking how we are replacing pdr space around the city and obviously we're looking at certain neighborhood and auto garage and we've been thinking about whether else we're putting the space the only this thing e thing i'll say he definitely supporting forgot about the zoning presentation and auto garage and repair i support that and i'll ask a question mean the staff when we have oh, what was the address 553 third street and . >> oh, 663. >> 663. >> 663 and we end up splitting that half-and-half between harry reid pdrs and office space did we use the office space for the whole space or just a half. >> for the half in case 663 came in as a large cap from the project sponsors request and the staff recommendations to reduce it to they'll quality under the small cap and the commission approve a smaller amount so - as you what was the the zoning for the rest of that what was left. >> so the project sponsor from what i understand is trying to figure out that they're basically allots whatever uses by the zoning district. >> okay. okay. so they're trying to figure out what the land use as a place for the other asset building. >> that was ss o so you as a commission roughly 45 thousand it was a small cap they couldn't put the office on the other floors to the remaining floors is whatever uses that are permitted. >> okay got it for this building they're going for the small office cap for the whole space that cap includes light industrial spaces per cap way within the pdrs use their permit as a right so the owner elected to pursue a passenger door spates they're okay and i definitely support the project for this reason i think that this space in terms of where the neighborhood going is definitely a place for a whether he says uses the way they've set up the building didn't chapping that structurally so it couldn't have tenants you can use it we're looking at when we are mentioning 63 and other areas obviously we cannot bind the project sponsors to do the business and it is separate and if we're displacing pdr where are those heavier in 10 words going i think we need to think about that and not pushing it off down the future. >> commissioner antonini and move to approve. >> second. >> commissioners there is a motion and a second with conditions on that motion. >> commissioner antonini. >> commissioner johnson commissioner moore. >> commissioner richards commissioner wu and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 6 to zero and places us on general public comment when i have no speeder. >> any general public comment this evening okay not seeing any, the commission would like to adjourn in memory of mary brown and i did see some service information or information about a service on saturday. >> okay. the meeting is adjourned. >> happy holidays everyone. >> same to you. >> >> will call. commissioner katz commissioner adams mr. kimberly brandon >> december 8 november 10, 2015 meeting. >> motion to approve? moved and seconded. all in favor aye. the minutes are proved.
