Jeremy. Good afternoon, i am jeremy spits with San Francisco public works government affairs. Thank you for calling this hears. A brief overview and then turn it over to our assistant superattendant with the bureau of human forest tree and the Deputy Director of operations if you have any questions. Public works is committed to fire safety and has a long history of partnering with the Fire Department. We are committed to greening San Francisco and positively impacting climate predictions. It includes rightofway and street trees and not many undeveloped parcels. We have proactive Maintenance Plans and work with the Fire Department to address areas of concern even on private property. We have quick reactive response when hazards are brought to our attention. As i mentioned. We have very little space near homes or residential areas. Our main areas of responsibility include medians and scattered parcels throughout the city such as along the boulevard and the areas around brotherhood bay an
Number of affordable. To commissioner johnsons point, it is common in much of the city to have taller buildings at the corners especially in the commercial districts. It is common in the richmond and Pacific Heights with the multiple story buildings with lower rise Single Family or two family between, and because this is on a major transit line, as many of you pointed out, this felt like the right place for this amount of density. With respect to the transition. This is a very narrow lot. It would be extremely difficult, i think, to carve out some parts of this building without losing more units and getting into that whole discussion about the loss of units with respect to other aspects of city law and policy. I think on the whole weared on the side of saying this was the right project in the right place and poster child how homesf project should work that is the basis for our recommendation. I want to second your motion. Thank you. Commissioner fong. It is interesting that the flow in
Me they will be together, which is an improvement. Right now they are in different be locations. How much more coordination is needed . That feels like a lot. Once it is all an electronic plan review, departments will make comments in blue beam and comments with the customer in blue beam to reduce the issues of projects moving between the horizontal and vote vertical world if that helps. It does. I like the idea of there being a seamless Customer Experience. Sometimes for the sake of clarity one dominant agency which sounds like it would be d. B. I. Takes the primary role and delegates appropriately. It may facilitate that desirable improvement in Customer Experience, and certainty as to how do i do this . Who did i go to first . I do think that would be something that would be worth trying to evaluate so that our goal of good Customer Experience really happens. The second question, you know, i hope blue beam works as well as possible. We are experiencing some concerns about some of ou
And i would like to ask staff as to whether or not that was discussed, considered, or was the applicant asked on what the Storage Space already entails. The option would be to not have this wall dividing the storage area. You could have a three car tandem garage, although that is not very feasible for moving cars around. And a. D. U. Would trigger new requirements under the Building Code, which might make this project unfeasible for the applicants. There is a narrow lot. They would have additional egress requirements. When this project started, i believe in a. D. U. Was not possible until you would need at least three years to add it, so at the time it could have been added with thought for the future, but i believe the staff and the project architects can speak more directly on the requirements under the Building Code because they did investigate this. So if no one else has questions, i do have questions about the existing tenant and i do not see anything in the packet. I see that her
Make sure that this wont happen in the future . Im making sure that we get every permit required for all dispensaries. In the past, i wasnt part of the program, but from my understanding and the path a referral went to the department until land use was approved, then, the referral came back and it was marked approved or disapproved, but there wasnt specific conditions stated explicitly on that referral. Whereas with our referral now, when when we sent those referrals over, there was an explanation as to why they denied them and what they would have to do. Okay. But that thats all i can say. What i also want to say that i personally spoke to Larry Kessler, and Larry Kessler does not remember any phone call with anyone from bloom room authorizing him. At the directors hearing no, and i appreciate that. I dont think that is as concerning to me as the fact and i agree with you as far as and then, the last question, going back to the permits for onsite consumption. Now, the application if i
