Every bus. There was a driver and a conductor. They all made incomes good enough to raise families on. Then, you know, so thats so thats the problem with the housing right there. You cant what i think is that, im representing a demographic thats below the demographic this project recent project we just talked about is made for. Maybe the upper third of the people i represent might have a chance to get into that housing. But, you know, probably not. Making it worse is that the people who are in that 100 of Median Income range, 125 , theyre taking up the housing that the lower demographic used to live in, for instance, the president of the board of supervisors. So what im saying is i want to put a marker out there and say if were going to do things like mission rock project, we have to do more than that. The Behavioral Health component that somebody mentioned right now, thats kind of what im talking about. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. If there are any other members what who would like to address the board, now is your opportunity. Were pushing the limits. Overhead, please. Timing is almost everything. I may have blown the time. Tell the guys at the giants thats me in 1955 after they won the i was all decked out. You might say i was baptized a giant back in new york. So im partial to them. Heres another photo. Thats the health club. They were a mom and pop Marijuana Club that got knocked out four or five years ago when the last feds moved in. They were the oldest club. Thats the love shack. Thats where i can go and i can get weed out of a jar. Its not its not packaged in a package like this. It is fresher. If you went to the building and you bought all of your ingredients in plastic wrapped in plastic, thats the difference of what the feds are doing. So basically, growers that like to grow their weed and make a gift of it cant do that anymore. Were losing moms and pops. The brothers have been doing brownies for 10 or 15 years. They may lose out because of the new ingredients. I brought in a couple of joints last time. Those joints would last me two weeks. They cost about 20 each. A cigarette is smoked within ten minutes, 40 minutes later you need another one and its destructive. We need to take marijuana away from its being a radioactive. Its a help to living. Thank you.

Seniors in that area, they cant climb stairs and you dont have any wheelchair access for any handicap so its like discriminating against handicap people. How are they going to get their hair done, whatever they want to do in this location . And its not a good i thought if you have street most of the commercial places that have hair salons and stuff like that, at street level, you can see from outside. So, this location you cant see anything from outside. You have to climb stairs to get to this shop. So, thats my, you know, i know a lot of seniors in that location. Its like theyre being discriminated against because you dont have any access for them to get to. And its already, like i said, a hair salon a few doors from this location. Why would you want to put another hair salon in the same location . This is up by van ness and chestnut. Theres not many Commercial Area in that location. All right. Thank you. Thank you.

Move to approve. Second. Received a motion and a second. [roll call] item number eight, commission comments and questions. Commissioner moore. Youre still sitings on the Regional Housing discussion group, correct . The apac board, yes. I have a question. I read in the paper yesterday that there are 376 units in melbray called the gateway, with no knowledge to the public continue to be pushed out and not being built. If im correct that the Bayview Project did not get its approval from city council regarding the building on housing, but are opting for office instead. I think you mean that the latter you mean brisbane . Brisbane is what i said. First is melbray, the second one is brisbane. My question to you is, as we are week after week being bombarded with ever more difficult obligations to meet housing goals, particularly on the affordable end, as were discussing the balance between workplace and housing, how come that these communities who really dont have any notable, larger projects contributing to the Regional Housing, how are they able to continue to avoid stepping up to the line . How do they do that . I share your frustration and concern. As you know, we the reality is that zoning and by California Law is up to each municipality. And the brisbane project, the latest on the brisbane project, and the late zest 4500 units, and they have asked the study is 2,000 units, i think. Just as reminder, it is a 700acre site. So, it is a site that could accommodate thousands of units of housing and there is also a caltrain station on that site. But on the unfortunate reality i shouldnt say that, the reality is local municipalitis are in total control of zoning and they have the ability to say yes or no. The brisbane site isnt even currently zoned for housing so they would have to change the zoning. But it is it is regional challenge that everyone is very concerned about. The sum total of what i hear the general opinion in brisbane to be is that office is more profitable and if youre supposed to rezone for a higher and better use, better means more return on land value, then obviously anybody would opt out to choose the higher returning land use. That call being office. I heard that same concern, yes. Just to express my frustration, can we develop mechanisms to slow down our own processes a little bit . Because i believe were running into real serious problems. One meeting the goal but also being forth at a much more rapid pace to achieve them. There would need to be a larger policy discussion about what we do as a city and response to the region. I will say that the second version of plan bay area was adopted about four months ago, i think. And it does call for over 4,000 of units of housing on the brisbane site. And that was done over the objections of the mayor and council of brisbane at that hearing. But there is still nothing to compel them to approve that housing. And we can certainly agendaize a discussion of the regional issues. Weve had this before. But a response to what others are doing in the region. Commissioner richards . I have several things. Ill try to be brief. I attend senator weiners town hall meeting on a warm, hot saturday and i stood for two hours . A packed room hearing about land use issues related to sb27. One of the things i did say is what i keep saying here and for anybody that listens. I talk about the entilement. Pipeline, and i went into all the different breakdown. And somebody came up to me later on and said hey, why do you keep doing this . Its like you dont support any additional upzoning . I said no, it adds context to the discussion, but it is identifying an issue as to the question needs to be asked is why were not building the housing that sits here thats entitled. Some of it was entitled many years ago. A couple of the things that were on my mind is we have a public bank discussion coming and there is a task force thats been formed for it. I would love to have the task force or have this commission write to the task force and maybe say the role of the public bank is to finance these projects having trouble getting financing. I know theres infrastructure issues. We cant build houses without roads and electrical hook ums and all that. On Treasure Island has some issues. Maybe speeding up funding or some type of a bond measure for infrastructure to get these projects jumpstarted. There is 30,000 units sitting there. And then also, i guess talk regionally as the director and commissioner moore said i keep mentioning a marshal plan for housing. It is not a 100 million or 200 million project, its in the billions and potentially there could be some type of renalal regional solution here and get it on the ballot like the bart i believe it is in november. Second item, the new topics of discussion at senator weiners town hall is sb827, which is a Transit Oriented Development measure that rezones the entire city of San Francisco. We asked Annemarie Rogers two weeks ago to come up with a memo on how that would impact San Francisco and she did a really great job of what was in our packet just today. I didnt get a chance to read it. Im sure it is online for the public to be able to look at. What id like to do is, during the town hall meeting, i brought up several issues to the senator and he started to write them down and he says why doesnt the Commission Send me a letter . So instead of me sending a letter, i think we should have an informational, have some Public Feedback and the commission should figure out what areas we support, what areas were concerned with and send a letter over to senator weiner and assembly man ting. And i hope that we could do that. Ill read this and i hope the public reads it. A couple of other things. It was a week for publicity on retail. I went to a neighbourhood meeting last night for Eureka Valley and the entire hour and a half we talked about retail vacancies. So, in tuesdays chronicle, the front page of the bay area section, the struggle to survive. Read it. Its cut and paste for pretty much any neighbourhood in the city these days and buried inside was the board of supervisors wants to focus on vacant storefronts. That is number one. Number two, and then yesterday, formula retail laws are dead end for business. And i thought it couldnt get any better and we had brokaw stewart talk about commercial landlords stealing San Franciscos soul today. I think there is a lot of discussion around retail. My neighbourhood where im at in the upper market has had some retail [inaudible] for six, seven years since the projects have been built and nothing is coming. I think we need to we have this on our action item list. Not just to help prioritize this at the time we prioritize the list, but it is a raelz topic of discussion today even at the board of supervisors. Thank you. Commissioner fong . Thank you. I just wanted to follow up on commissioner richards first piece and i very much appreciate your enthusiasm and house deep you dig into these items and often speak in public about them or individual project sponsors. And i agree with you many of these things are up for discussion, should be discussed. I also want to be careful that anything that you may have a feeling about is not represented as the entire commission absolutely. I realise the action you are requesting is for us to discuss it and then from there, create a position. But i think it is important that we maintain our independence as commissioners and that we dont speak necessarily for others without having that absolutely. I realise you are asking for that. Thanks. Commissioners, if there are no other further comments, well move on to department matters. Number nine, the directors announcement. Thanks, rich. Commissioner, i was going to call to your attention this memo that annemarie and josh wrote. You just received it today. I would encourage you to read it. It is a thorough analysis of the effects of potential effects of sb827 as its currently written and if you would like to have a hearing in the future, were happy to schedule that in a reasonable timeframe. So let us know if you want to do that. Yeah. I think we would. Ok. Well get that scheduled. That is all i have for today. Thank you. So, well moves on to item number 10. Review of past veterans at the board of supervisor, board of appeals and Historic Preservation commission. Good afternoon, commissioners. The manager of leaptingive affairs for the planning domestic. Excuse me. At this weeks land use committee, the Committee Held a combined hearing dealing with the citys vacant and abandoned property, which was called by supervisor fewer, ronan and yee and on the state of the citys retail sector, called by supervisor tang. This is in reference to commissioner richards. At the hearing representatives from the office of budget and legislative analysis, oed planning and d. B. I. Presented. A similar report focusing more on land use but also well go into some of the other issues before this commission on february 22. So, youll have an opportunity to discuss it then as well. In addition to the committee members, tang, safai and kim, board members, stefani and yee were also in attendants constituting a special meeting at the bore. Committee members expressed concern about the perceived high vacancy rate and concern over the changing nature of retail. They also had some questions of planning staff regarding possible district changes and tough questions for the department of building inspection, which is in charge of enforcing our vacant building registry. There are also several speakers during Public Comment. They mainly focus on neighbourhood individual issues. At the end of the hearing the vacant abandoned property hearing was continued to call to the chair so d. B. I. Could gather more information to present to the committee at a later date and the hearing was heard and filed. Next on the agenda was mayor ferrells ordinance that would establish the special district. This was continued from last week so that language could be drafted to include the commissions recommendation. That inclusionary rate be increased from 18 to 23 and that the project be required to have four [inaudible] spaces. At the hearing, the drafted language was added to the unanimous vote. There was a good deal of Public Comment on this ordinance, all of which was in support of the item. After Public Comment, the committee continued the item to the following week because the amendments were substantive. Finally, the Committee Heard the planning and zoning amendments. Commissioners, you heard this item on october 5 of last years and unanimously recommended approval. At the hearing, editors from the s. F. Giants, the port, m. T. A. And planning staff presented on the item. During Public Comment, about 13 people spoke in favour of the proposed project and one person in opposition. After Public Comment, vice chair kim amended the ordinance to remove a provision that allowed hotels up to 300 rooms in location in which residential uses are permitted. This motion was unanimously approve. The committee then voted to recommend the item to the full board. At the full board this week, the inclusionary Affordable Housing programme amendments proposed by supervisor peskin received its first read in past and adopted the finding reduces the exemption for 2417 green street and that is all i have for you today. Thank you. So, as far as i know there are no other items reported on the board of appeals and then regarding the Historic Preservation commission, they did host their elections and elected Andrew Wolfman to continue as president as well as aaron highland to continue as vice president. Well move on to general Public Comment. At this time, members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission, exempt agenda items. With respect to agenda items, your opportunity to addr
