Supervisor mandelman thank you, chair peskin, supervisor safai, and supervisor haney. I know weve had a long meeting, but i think this is important and i want to thank you for making time for this today. Earlier this year, massive rainfalls resulted in flooding along the embarcadero and other low lying areas of our city. Folks, Climate Change isnt coming, its already here. Last year, a group of climate advocates, some of whom are here today asked my office to work with them on declaring a Climate Emergency in San Francisco. Other communities had already taken the steps of declaring a Climate Emergency and those areas saw San Francisco as a local model should join them. The resolution called for the San Francisco department of the environment along with the Mayors Office and relevant city agencies to develop and submit a report on department the findings. I do think its worth noting that San Francisco has already done a good bit of proactive report to combat Climate Change. Between 1990
Collision. I think the Police Department violated the california constitution and california law. I think they violated federal law in executing these search warrants. This is a huge deal. The investigator did not tell the judge hes a journalist and had a press pass for 16 years. They listed him as freelance videographer, communications manager, uso bay area and wrote he is not currently employed by any of the news organizations that obtained the Death Investigation report. I would say its absolutely clear that the department should have known that brian carmod kbrrks is a journalist and stretches credibility they had no idea. Bill scott declined my request for an interview today but i questioned him at a News Conference in may. How can you defend a raid on a journalists home and office . Im not im not here to try to defend it because there is a lot of information that we have to really look at and refle reflect. His staff says the Police Department is reviewing protocols on members of
Greater ability and from the low income tier down to 50. It is even a deeper benchmark. Thank you for the question. Thanks. Guy place mini park, which is currently under construction is a 4,308 square foot site acquired in coordination with the Planning Department through the ren con hill plan. Due to the lack of open space in the area. With funding through the ren con Hill Community improvements fund, this vacant property was purchased by the city in march 2007 following a joint approval by the planning and recreation and park commissions. And subsequently by the board of supervisors in 2007. As i mentioned before, this is a growing, densifying area with a lot of new housing and few parks. The park is currently under construction and is expected to be opening in later in 2019. As such, there is not were not able to analyze activity there is and how people use it because it is a construction site. The park design includes a level site with three outdoor rooms that contain bench seating
Next speaker, please. Thank you. We discourage barking. Hello again. I want to just comment on mr. Ginsburgs comment about how weve become a great area for dog parks and that we lead, you know, in that area. So as a member of the friends of upper douglass dog park, we want to make compromise. We understand our neighbors, and we really think to allow people, not dog walkers, nothing against you, but for people who live in the city, they need to be able to walk their dogs before they go to work and after they get home. So i think that the 7 00 a. M. Is really a good time that cat anderson suggested. Im concerned about the ending hour, because people typically dont get home till 6 00, 6 30, to be able to go and get to the park and exercise, so we are not in favor of the current hours being proposed. Wed like to have them extended a bit more. I thank you all. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi, my name is linda blondis, and as an amateur paleoanthropologist, homo sapiens would not be homo
About many of the businesses and concerns that their employees have. We amended on page 9, 13, 14, and 19, with the impact and where the this particular office use is and what the employee cafeteria is, and we clarified the difference between in this instance the difference between a break room where theres a lot of food versus an actual cafeteria, so we talk about that in particular. We also say any of these existing that are approved as of the date of this ordinance will be approved and will be considered legal nonconforming accessory uses. They may exist but if they intend to expand or reinstall after abandonment, they would have to go through the conditional use authorization that all the different proposed private cafeterias will have going forward. So thats online 8 through 11 on page 5. And then, we had our conditional existing uses excuse me, the criteria that wed like the Planning Commission and others to consider as part of the c. U. Process. Ill just review a few of them. Wh
