Is because its surrounded by buildings of a certain height and we have to protect people from wind. We have to encourage sunlight for use or it wont be used at all. As we do that, we find there are certain thank you. Thank you for hearing me as a member of the task force in 2013. I was the chair of the energy and natural resources, subcommittee of that task force. My name is cole roberts. I work with a Company Called air up here, focused on sustainability in the built environment. When we were undertaking that task force report, we understood and interacted with the community that deepened our understanding of the neighborhood. It needed to be married with robust infrastructure, infrastructure for Energy Systems and the ecology of the place thats been damaged and not restored. Theres need for investment. Soft investment in the parks and also hard investment in the energy and stormwater systems. Its not always obvious in how it benefits the community, but there are deep, longterm invest
Im michelle levis, soma resident. As you all know, soma has been in development for San Francisco and has become a neighborhood of ultra rich and ultra poor. I would like to advocate for an increased range of affordability. We have families where two families work minimum wage jobs and they dont qualify for the affordability, making too much. I have a struggle between talking about the new dream community when across the street, part pardon my language is a [beep] show. Its hard to not think about what is happening on the other side of sixth street. The school is in crisis. We have one school in our district and talking about a new school is ridiculous to me. We had to get pinterest to pay for a second social worker because we have the highest number of homeless kids. 85 of middle schoolers were reading below grade levels. We know that means they will drop out and become incarcerated. For us, its a huger issue, instead of just what is happening in the footprint of this plan area, but w
Potentially possible to fund this work through our Community Facilities district. We need to explore the legal and policy ramifications, but the potential to do such things extends the program to the plan is personally very exciting. The second item is the need to increase Operation Maintenance parks and facilities, as well as rec park and others to identify the Funding Sources. The third is a need for neighborhood cleaning services, which identified to us from supervisor kims office. And well talk about prevailing wages. Weve been in conovversation wi organized labor on this and one option comes through the newly signed legislation of the state ab73, which allows cities to create sustainability districts if theyre paid for the construction work. We dont really fully understand that and will continue to work with people to see if its a viable option. That concludes my presentation. I look forward to everyones input and well be happy to answer your questions. Thank you. Councillor tang
Organizations on the ground doing great work in the neighborhood.

Highrise plan undermines the goal of the walkability and communitycentric charact characteristics of our neighborhoods. It will intensify high wind patterns and creep eight an unwelcome pedestrian experience. Weve already lost an enormous amount of light due to the linkedin building. A neighborhood was designed to enhance proximity to the bay and light reflecting off the water. Increasing all the density will overstress and overcrowd our few green spaces, such as south park, which may not only be cast into shadow, but also damaged and filled with litter by day use by people who have no interest more than eating their lunch and smoking a cigarette. Our neighborhood is already stressed with high traffic. It includes many highways and exit ramps and a huge conference center. I applaud the effort to make the sidewalks more pedestrianfriendly, the Planning Commission must balance these efforts during baseball season and everyday commuter rush hour. Thank you.
