Than to flood the glen park station. Im just wondering if that has been explored. Some of our riders they just want the quickest route. I think its a great point. We could anticipate customers that are ambivalent between the enjuda, or the 44. Thats part of the customer information that well make available. We also will have this loaded into the next bus, so the trip planner should also help People Choose the faster route for them. In addition, the k line service will bring people to balboa park b. A. R. T. And the m line bus service, folks dont want to go inbound can go outbound to balboa park b. A. R. T. But those are long trips with stops. I guess what im just getting at is lets just take we west portal as the focus point. Now for this inconvenience, youve got to go to the pepes westport al. We shouldnt be drawing maps from the board chairs, i get it, but ive got the communications of it. This is just one thing where i will say, i just want to make sure its considered, because i think it might actually be faster. I will definitely look at it. Thank you. Thank you, vice chair li heinicke. Chairman brinkman i think as the bus messages goes out, i think its important to note that not only this is coming, but why its coming and what the goal of this is and what theyre going to see in terms of increased speed and reliablity going forward. I think that is super valuable messaging. I think were seeing it on canopy street with the b. A. R. T. At powell, and i think that helps people ease over the disruption, that theyre getting something out of it at the end. [ please stand by ] we still have quorums. Thank you very much.

Ordinance amending the planning doed accomplish the gear rimasonic special use district in the area generally bounded by the geary boulevard to the south, masonic avenue to the east and assessors parcel block numbers 1071, lots numbers 1 and to the north and west. Thank you. Supervisor stefani, the new sponsor of this item. Thank you, chair tang. Colleagues, thank you for hearing this item today. Im thrilled to put the final touches on this project that has taken over two years to get to this stage. I was ah aids when this first came to district two and it is great to see how far this project has come. This s. U. D. Allows it to go from 21 ewe it in units to 91 units while remaining the same size. It goes from three to 22, that is more affordable units than the total number of units in the original project. These are homes for 95 families to join the neighbourhood along the transit corridor. Thank you to the neighbours, Laurel Heights and antavista neighbours for being so great. We want to thank them for supporting such a dense project in a neighbourhood that hasnt seen any new housing, which i know is challenging for many neighbourhoods. So, thank you to those neighbourhood organisations. This project is a uniquely dense project that is labour and neighboursupported. It took a lot of work and i think the Broad Coalition of people who did work on this. Im very happy to be carrying this across the finish line here today. I do have a couple of amendments in response to the Planning Commission recommendation and ive handed those amendments out to my colleagues. First, the inclusionary rate goes from 18 to 23 . And that is broken down as follows 10 at 55 of a. M. I. 5 at 80 of a. M. I. 4 at 110 of a. M. I. And 5 at 120 of a. M. I. And then of course the appropriate a. M. I. Bands will apply. The second recommendation is around the car share spaces. The Commission Recommended four of the spaces be reserved for car share. So on the advice of the city attorney, we have increased the findings regarding car share to require four of the 16 Parking Spaces in this project to be reserved for car share use. And those are all the amendments . Yes. Ok. Great. Thank you. Do we want a motion to move those amendments . Yes. Id like to make a motion to accept those amendments. All right. And supervisor safair, did you want to speak on the item as well . No, supervisor stefani summed it up wonderfully. Any questions or xhenzes, any staff . Rention nope. Well go to Public Comment on this item three and i have three cards richard, michael and colleen. And if anyone else would like to speak on item three, please come on up. Thank you. I just wanted to summarize the Planning Commissions actions from a couple of months ago. On november 30, 2017, the Planning Commission, after hearing and closing Public Comments approved the proposed ordinance with modifications, recommended by planning staff. The modifications to the ordinance increased the required onsite Affordable Housing provision from 18 to 23 for rentals at the a. M. I. Levels prescribed by section 415 of the planning code. This recommendation was made on the basis that the proposed s. U. D. Confers density increases that are commons rat with the level of increase contemplated in the home s. F. Bram and, therefore, an increased onsite affordable rate within the su. D. Is appropriate. Staff wants to thank mayor ferrell for amending the ordinance to include the commissions recommendations. At the same hearing, the Planning Commission granted conditional use authorization to demolish the onestorey building and construct a mixed use building containing 95 residential dwelling units above approximately 1700 square feet of ground floor commercial space, 16 off street Parking Spaces and 120s bicycle Parking Spaces. The commission added a condition of at least four of the Parking Spaces are dedicated for car share use. This concludes my friendsing and im available for my questions. Thank you very much. Any further questions . Ok. Nope. Seeing none, then well go back to Public Comment, actually. So, please come on up. Youll each have two minutes to speak on this item. Good afternoon, supervisors. Im Richard Frisbee with the Laurel Heights improvement association. It has take and lot of work as the supervisor pointed out but we have something that i think works for all three parties and id like to thank everyone for the work thats gone into it. Its not been receive but it has been useful and what came out of it is something we all think will benefit the neighbourhood. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is michael coholland. Im a 40year resident and Property Owner on wood street, just a block away from the project. Id like to echo my friend dick frisbees comments that the neighbourhood of which im a part of and also part of the Laurel Heights improvement association, is in support of this project. Id like to extend my welcome to supervisor stefani for coming back to district two. Were glad to have you. And i also noticed on the way in that the actual developers are there in the back and i said this at the planning hearing commission. I wanted to thank them for being so transparent and upfront with the neighbourhood. I think this is a key thing for this commission and the board and the Planning Department to Pay Attention to in the future. Because there is a lot of projects coming online that things work. They work when the developmenter is up front, transparent, communicative to the neighbourhood and we all get to have a conversation. So it has been a while. Really appreciate everyones efforts. Also chris mei is back here. I believe i got your name right. I think he is a staff person who has done an exceptional job at working hard to get the neighbourhood and the developer to get this project done. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is colleen ryan and i live on emmerson street adjacent to the project. And i echo dick and michaels comments. Were pleased that the developer worked with us. We were concerned that the height would be overshadowing our properties. We thank you again for that. And christopher may definitely worked hard and called us back promptly. So, were in support of the promise and we appreciate the fact that things are working. We do understand that the city needs housing. It should be noted that cities should be proud of the fact that you took a 12,000 foot lot, zoned for 21 units and are creating 95 units. That is impressive. Our one concern is the concern of all my neighbours on emmerson is the fact that where gearymasonic funnel into, there is a small Little Corner and there can be a lot of traffic where trader joes is and we know that the developers trying to work out a plan. Were going to wait to see if the traffic is going to be ok getting home each day. Our kids take the bus. We walk and bike through there. And so traffic is really a problem in that corner. So, were really hoping that that part works out. But we are pleased at housing coming and were supportive of that. I walk in the neighborhood a ton. I have a dog and we never got a notice for this or saw one on any type of pole. Which we did a few months ago. And while we dont have a problem with this because we have an excellent negotiator for us, there was no notice. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. South carolina good afternoon, supervisors. Danny campbell with the sheet Metal Workers local 104 and my colleagues alex lanceberg and with electrical workers local six, john corso, local 38 plumber and pipefitters. Very excited about this profnlt its going to deliver lowincome, moderateincome and market rate housing to our citys housing supply. We worked very closely with former supervisor mark ferrells office. I want to thank him and his staff. Planning and not to mention the project sponsor. This project gives Community Benefits and Career Pathways for residents throughs our state aproved apprenticeship programmes. So, we look forward to your support for this su. D. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. And anyone else who would like to speak on this project. Good afternoon. Todd david on behalf of the San Francisco action housing coalition. Very excited to support this project. I really want to give kudos to the neighbourhood for embracing density and more housing for families in San Francisco. I hope it is a model that can be repeated many places on the west side of San Francisco because we certainly need more housing. As far as the traffic concerns, i know this starts to be an impetus for us to start thinking about maybe some subways to the west side or some rapid transit. But we certainly need to be making sure that we can move people around in San Francisco without having them get in their cars. Thank you. Were excited to support it. Any other members of the public who wish to speak on item three . Ok. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Supervisor stefani, any other remarks . No. Ok. At this time, we had a motion to amend per what supervisor stefani said earlier. Can we get a motion on the item as amended. Motion to move forward with positive recommendation. And well do that without objection. Im sorry. Im sorry. Deputy city attorney. Oh, to continue the item. Ok. Because it has amendments. Ill make a motion to ill amend my motion and make that a motion to continue. For one week. Ok. Great. Well is that ok . Deputy attorney. As amended. The motion you should make a motion to adopt the amendment and then continue the item one week. Yes. So, colleagues i heard a motion to amend. There was a second. So were going to amend it and then were going to we had a motion to continue for one week. All right. Thank you. Now mr. Clerk, items one and two together. Item number one, hearing on the efficacy of the citys vai cantsabandoned property or did nation and strategies for preventing vacant storefronts. Item number two, hearing on the findings of the 2017 retail study conducted by the office of economic and Workforce Development that reviews the state of the Retail Industry nationally and locally and provides an overview of challenges and opportunities for San Franciscos neighbourhoods and retail commercial districts. Thank you very much. I want to thank sponsor to the hearing supervisors fewer, ronan, yee, guest for the district two office. I dont know if supervisor stefani is taking over, but certainly although my name is not on, this its something that is a topic that ive been very interested in as well. I want to thank my colleagues for bringing this to our attention. We are going hear from many, many departments that are working hard day in and day out on this issue. The office of economic and Workforce Development, our department of building inspection, we will hear from our budget and legislative Analyst Office on the report and also we have planning staff as well and i forget if i mentioned d. B. I. , but department of building inspection. So, with that said, i know that there is a lot of work that we all do in our representive supervisors offices in conjunction our other city departments in trying to both recruit and detain businesses in our commercial corridors and i know that each of our corridors have their own sets of challenges or attractiveness. But especially when you throw into the mix the changing face of retail and that there is so much ecommerce going on right now. I know that its a conversation we all need to have as a city family in terms of whether we to reconsider how it is that we zone our city and commercial neighbourhoods. How it is that we deal with our vai cants and abandoned properties and so forth. So, with that said, id like to kick it over to supervisor fewer, the lead sponsor on the first hearing. Thank you, chair tang. Long before i ran for this office, vacant commercial storefronts had been a concern for residents and merchants of the rich monday district. In my district as well as across the city, storefronts left vacant for not only months but years can have a terrible impact on a neighbourhood. Long time antistorefronts contribute to blight as well as issues of safety and cleanliness. They wear down the pride that neighbours have in their neighbourhood. And empty commercial storefronts on the market may contribute to rising commercial rents. I want to thank in advance all the department
