Information that stacks up so ill let the department deal with the question regarding patrero and also with the approval. When the approval hasnt occurred, you dont start assuming that you get it. That is my own comment on it. But i can let the rest of the commission make a motion. Thank you. Just a question. Its odd to me that if youre picking up their sushi and going to pay for it, like its just a stand within whole foods, why does this even come to us . You know there is an area of whole foods that you are selling starbucks branded products, would that have to come to us . Yes, exactly. Starbucks, wells fargo has a little but if they have it and its separate and independent. But this is you get the product and you actually go to the same you put it in your basket with the rest of your stuff and you go check out is my understanding. Because theyre making it there. They do make it there. Yes. That is the difference. Because they make it there . Yes. That seems odd that that would have
But it is going to need to evolve over time. So to kind of help us keep track of that, making this a living plan and making it where on some regular basis, we are reporting either planning to the mayors office, here at the commission, from planning staff, what did we just do in the last few months . How is it working to the extend that we know what is on our list right now, what are some of things you heard about what weve changed. We want to keep the conversation going because you have to keep asking yourself are you doing things the right way. It is not just like a thing well do and walk away and move on with our lives. I have three buckets you may be asking yourselfs, are you just going to go do this or is there a process for the process for the process . Of course theres process. Thats what we do, right . It depends on what it is were talking about. If it is something where it is a commission policy, which is i dont think a large part of that universe, obviously well be here and ta
We had a fourdoor chrysler large formula retail on geary street and they came and wanted a starbucks but in that case, you bought the starbucks at the starbucks. Its a little different. Its a car dealer selling starbucks. This is a food this is a Grocery Store selling sushi. The one thing i was concerned about here is that they dont take theyre not taking sales area away from a store which is already smaller than the typical large scale whole foods. So, 400 square feet, if that would have come out of the sales area, i would have been concerned. If it is coming out of the sales area and theyre selling shirts. But its coming out of the sales area and selling food that theyre selling anyway. Its just odd to me. I guess thats the Zoning Administrator interpretation of the c. U. Thats correct. Because it is prepared there. You can correct me if im wrong, but i believe we discussed this specifically with the Zoning Administrator. Ok. Commissioner johnson . I cant believe this is still happen
Here at the Planning Commission but the Historic Preservation commission, our various i cant understand hearings. Theres rec park or departments of public health. How can we make sure that were focusing that time on the projects where a judgment call is really needed in this public setting as opposed to times when we maybe able to get there 9 0 of the time at the administrative level. This is where we have the opportunity to discuss with the public what it is that were doing and grapple with the big issues. How do we get the best bang for the buck out of things that come to a hearing and versus things that do not. And how do we make sure that things come here when theyre ready so you dont recalendar something three months out because of how busy your cal is. The planning code itself, obviously this is our road map. These are the rules of the road. The clowererer it is, the better the results will be. Even simple thing like definitions. Its somewhat fundamentalle that. Can we clean up t
Spending time doing the analysis on the thing where is we do need to take a closer look. Same thing goes for hearings here at the Planning Commission but the Historic Preservation commission, our various i cant understand hearings. Theres rec park or departments of public health.
