I brought any christmas letter for one for commissioner hillis hes not here maybe leave it for him next year good luck for everybody i want to talk about what my wish list section 317 needs to be strengthened not polished that was to allow for alteration permits not demolitions the line is pushed and crossed by developers the relative affordability and characterization of the neighborhoods are at risk without calculation consideration given to consecutive and qualify active suggestion for any revised residential Design Guidelines monthly discretionary review hearings put them owl together the residential c u a and just as a note last week weve thought about what happened no oakland he was 10 only co2 in grassland that land use changing with tons of co2 the grassland will have more carbon in the forest this is false in the eir this 73 metric tons in terms of Emergency Vehicle that he run considerate in the green house ordinance in the ordinance under ceqa any Green House Gas emissions is significant if it conflict with any Aubrey Abrakasa applicable regulation of an agency for the purpose of reducing Green House Gas emissions ill continue we didnt get started right now id like to highlight the failure to address the significance on the limits of access to untrail use only they cover less than 5 percent of parkland that is off limits to the public that is from the free assess we enjoy today, the eir fails to identify it program. 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 Preservation Commission 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. I think the short answer the commission has theres a a series of alternatives as there always are the project sponsor preferred alternative is one of the 4 and the hpc weighed in on in fact, when you it comes to you youll have to look at that alternatives and make our decisions. Okay so right. Right. The project will come to us im making sure the map amendment and the planning code text amendment account for the projects their slightly different i know the height is slightly different and in the setbacks and things like that like the amount of parking and. Dan with the Department Staff thank you for that question in the portions of the various alternatives can comply that the amendment as proposed not necessarily all of those options or alternatives could and the amendments could be modified up either by you when you act on the amendments or by the board spacial should one of the alternatives be selected and i see exposure a quick question but lets say for the full preservation alternative that calls for one story of underground parking not two a setback on the office space and requires another amendment to the planning code text maybe the zoning map would we then what action will we have to take we can only initiate the planning code text and hear them again, if at the decide to take the alternative for the project that is amongst the other changes will are we have to initiate new amendments. This is essentially on application for filing and that at the hearing to consider documentation or recommendation they can be k457bd in whatever way a new initiation will not be required. Thank you i get it. Okay. All right. Then move to initiate the general plan amendments related to the planning code text for 1500 Mission Street. Second. Commissioners can we schedule a hearing on er after march 16 . Very good, commissioners.

Im available to answer any questions thank you. Project sponsor, please. Good morning. Im the project sponsor for the share a few comments about the project and process and im going to turn it over to for glen for a presentation the key facts it is as mentioned one and 3 units in a 4 Story Building between 1010 and minnesota the heart of dog patch the project was approved by the hpc last week and were proposing a motion and a second passage that connections minute pin to 1010 in the proximate locations which used to be at this location since the 1930s that is important for the community that lacks significant open space and weve committed if to be twentyfour hour assessable as part of conditions of the approval of the motion i wanted to share a little bit about the Community Outreach process over the last 18 months over one dozen meeting with the mta and the Design Committee we incorporated a number of important changes to the project for the mid block passage wider and setbacks for the fourth floor and details to the landscaping and sidewalk improvements the dna experienced experienced this weve workndor youll have seen that in the letter in morning agreed to a language in the motion that will insure were pursuing an oci agreement discussed that the neighborhood the possibility of broublz and passage vesting with the neighbors weve pursuing and the dna is interested area were pursuing this well, of course, go to the eastern neighborhoods cac and come back to the Planning Commission for ultimate approval of that on the collaboration side as mentioned pursuing the Small Site Program program for the van ness for the site that evaluates to 34 unit located with a mile radius of the site in close proximity potrero hill and for the bayview are eligible with that, im going to turn it over to glen for discussion of design. Good morning, commissioners monitor please interesting project i think part of it has to do with with the fact theres an alley in close proximity to the site but has to do with with the project sponsor the architect and the neighborhood all agreed on something that is easy the mid block passage was something initiated by the Planning Department i think that created for an exciting project the design itself resolves around the dog patch but includes what guess interesting the neighborhood itself if you look at the slide on the screen in the neighborhood sort of a unique quality of warehouses and Residential Structures edward and warehouseing types of buildings and warehouses one of the things we wanted to do with the design i think this is very important how to combine those two elements together to come up with a very unique idea those are just pictures of the neighborhood in which youll see a combination of residential buildings and small warehouses and colors and brick siding weve incorporated the design this is a expect the basic the idea to see if we can come up with a scale building that you know have corelations to the residential building and something the warehouse type this diagram we wanted to find a way to incorporate the mid block passage into the overall urban design adjacent to the project there is a warehouse as you can see from the diagram we basically mimic that on the opposite side and filled in the rest with sort of a residential scaleable context heres on overall site from the site plan is in fill to a motion and a second passage with a sort of a ushaped shaped building and then here you have sorry went back basically, i want to show you the ground floor plan what is unique about the plan on the ground floor all the residential unit introduce 9 ground floor and the mid block not just a passageway for the pedestrians but an entry for the lobby to the building we wanted to use that mid block passage as a activated space throughout the day it basically 24 7 open passageway with the lobby in the center which is unique about what weve worked often with the neighborhood a shth we setback all the entries along both situations and i mid block passages is approximately thirty feet wide as you go through that the second third and fourth floor are identical we worked on setting back all the elements keeping in call with some of the buildings here a serious of renderings and again that the articulation of what we refer to as the their style versus the remain be building how 80 that incorporates and evaluates to the context of the neighborhood the entryways pushed back we have greenery planters along the entryway to create privacy for the entry pointed and well lit plan that weve come up with in order to make a safety zone for the residents and another view from tenseness and here you have what we refer to as the warehouse element also residential in the passageway adjacent to that. Our landscaped design is very well excused we wanted to do with the sclarnd not just create a although fair but planters on both sides yet you can see across on entry we also feel this might be a great opportunity for art pieces to be incorporated into the space along the way planting along the edges well son both streetscapes and here i have with this will be what we are thinking some overhead lighting that requires a more something you may see has lighting across the way something you find in europe a pedestrian like atmosphere and then with that, id like to conclude on this slide i think this is a project that took a while and working closely with dna i think we were excited how this project turned out the quality and the mid block passage being a place for residents as well as the neighborhood with that, thank you and this being probably my last hearing for the year wish you all a happy happy new year and happy holidays. Opening up for Public Comment okay not seeing any, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner moore. Sir, would you put up the ground floor plan and just speak briefly how you jiggled did residential ground floor guidelines respect to privacy i want to hear you talk about that. One of the things i think pushing back both all the facades along the street pushing those inward and creating are planters at the entry location allows basically isolates the doors so sort of a kind of a unique initial for all the doorways and oats planters come up 24 inches that controls the amount of glazing to the ground floor that happens think tenseness and minnesota and fortunately on the passage way more distance and create a greater a planter area in front of each of the unit the idea for the ground floor is the potential of someone that really wants to be able to also use it as a kind of a place where they may work on occasion and have it as a sort of on idea of being able to have that kind of front door accessibility to the neighborhood as well as with the environment would you mind a moment for the commission ground floor units typically bans residential Design Guidelines are to be lifted above grade by 36 inches case given the height limit youre holding the unit back could you give us a dimensional reference this is not significant to me and the ground floor is setback 5 feet think minnesota and tenseness and then you have the planter. An element of privacy just in those 5 feet thats a walk, the intersidewalk line it is curved sidewalk. Fortunately the sidewalks are gracious not tight on both streets we have enough space. Otherwise just as a comment i think this is welldesigned project i love it fits i wish we had more projects like it. Thank you. Commissioner johnson. Thank you i also like this project i wish it were 2 stories taller it is a good product i had more comments like commissioner moore with the ground floor given the Residential Hotel of a lot of ground floor units will create you know a sense of community but people keep their shades down like a blank wall and having a parking lot there so holding that back might help to mitigate it the other thing that helps i know well consider language around how to in kind. I think the commission should make a finding under the infrastructure stating the project sponsor intends to pursue an in kind agreement proernt a better statement to the project sponsor in this case. As far as the email change i get it.
