The in half of the c. A. R. T. Budget proposal. The Youth Commission actually just yesterday voted unanimously to support that proposal to divert funding from the and urge the board to fund that proposal this year to the maximum extent, and thank you for your time and thats my comment. Clerk thank you. Commissioner click, for your comments. Okay. Operations, lets hear from the next caller, please. Hi, San Francisco board of supervisors. My name is stan [inaudible] and im calling from oakland. Im a former san franciscan. Its where i got my education at the San Francisco school of law, and i wanted to call and comment and urge the board to uphold and support the resolution to affirm San Franciscos commitment to recognizing the armenian genocide. From my understanding, the last step of a genocide and the on going step of a genocide is genocide denial, and thats what the armenian community is seeing today, with Turkey And Azerbaijan continuing to deny the existence and events of the genoci
boost to all the local merchants in the area. thank you. any other comments? seeing none public comment is now closed. okay. lastly, we ll invite the appellant to present a rebuttal argument. you ll have up to three minutes. thank you, members of the board. first off, i d like to thank my may neighbors and i live in west portal and we all want a good concert. we don t want to shut it down. we want to continue the good jobs and tax revenues coming into the city. we just want a noise policy that s enforcement and enforceable and president yee hit it on the head when he said to have a noise policy for concerts in the park. i still haven t heard a good answer. we heard sharon has a numerical noise limit. that s because they have concerts every week. they don t. i drive by and they don t have concerts every week. sum ser once a year. now and then is once a year. that s what they have at sharon meadows. that policy could simply be aplid to the entire park, 102 decibels instanta
we ve also issued categorical exemptions for other temporary such uses throughout san francisco. supervisor fewer: thank you very much. and then also, we heard about a shoreline theater and that there is a numerical threshold for the shoreline theater. how is this different than that? the examples provided by the appellant are for facilities that do have many events throughout the year. that s why in my response i m describing the duration of such events, and for event facilities that have events multiple times per week, that is when the city will look at ceqa impacts from a substantial increase in noise levels. and that s also where the police code regulates the noise that is persistent and occurs either 24 hours a day or is occurring persistently throughout the city. supervisor fewer: thank you very much. i do have a question for rec and park, if you don t mind, president yee. president yee: sure. supervisor fewer: is there a representative from rec and park here?
trying to understand this, the more specific sort of legal question on when ceqa would apply in terms of sound impact from outside lands. the question under ceqa regarding noise is, would the project result in the substantial increase in the ambient noise levels. substantial, we look at in many different ways, because noise is something that is experienced differently by different people, and we look at what s the increase what s the existing ambient noise levels, what s the increase that the project would result in, what s the duration of that activity, and those questions are based on primarily health impact definition, and so we do, you know, we do acknowledge in our appeal response that this three-day event is loud. it can be subjectively interpreted differently by different people, and it definitely rises to annoyance, but it s not to the level that s going to be having a substantial permanent increase in the ambient noise levels. supervisor mar: thank you. and the
engineered to be transinducing beats, which some people really like to listen to, yeah, not too healthy if there s a lot of noise pollution. everybody said, ace, what the hell you getting up and saying? you don t stay nowhere near there, but i got something to say, because it s public comment, right? well, most of these people got up here, i m about in their age range. i just made 65. i know i don t look that old, but let me just say this here, y all got to understand this is the city by the bay. you talk about the boom, boom, boom, we re talking about money. this city really don t care about you if you ain t making no money. that s why it s the boom, boom, boom. i understand they have a ten-year contract in advance already, so that s boom, boom, boom. somebody making some big, big money. and all these politics in here, they are playing politics full of tricks, makes you turn to a lunatic. you going to get dicked, oh, excuse me. that s policy in the city by the bay. i m ace
