Criminalization. [speaking spanish] translator they are part of our community and we should respect them. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Public good afternoon. I too would like to thank for doing this. I have been familiar with the plaza and the area around the plaza for 20 years. And it has been the object of the most outrageous forms of neglect and has been treated as a drug containment zone without any attempt to solve the underlying injustices and problems that are generating the amount of drug use we are seeing in the plaza. This neglect contributes whether intentionally or not, to the disinvestment that is now being used as an excuse to general gent identify as people become more desperate both economically and to using and selling drugs and to other forms of behavior that have to do with getting by out of here desperation. Im grateful we are taking steps to clean the plaza and assist people with their struggles. I would ask we remain along this track and not allow this to be used as an excuse for more luxury development, but that instead we make [bell]. Public that we treat everyone with respect and make it a Livable Community for everyone in the neighborhood and in the city. Thank you. Next speaker. Public im executive director of transit riders and im a daily b. A. R. T. Rider. I want to thank you, supervisor ronen, for calling this hearing. It is good to see our elected officials speaking up for riders. We all know this extends beyond 16th street. This is into every b. A. R. T. Station and train. I hear b. A. R. T. Is making plans to tackle the quality of life issue, and thats great. I also read an article that was headlines b. A. R. T. Listening to riders to clean up its act. And im trying to figure out how it got to this point where it is nearly unbearable to step into a station. I recognize that is a country wide issue but i have to call it out. Ridership is down on b. A. R. T. To a point where a supervisor had to get involved before b. A. R. T. Took this issue seriously. Transit riders have been singing this tune for years. Despite the shade, sorry, b. A. R. T. I want to say im encouraged by this and i think this is a step in the right direction. There are, of course, additional issues that i think transit riders would love to see as part of improving b. A. R. T. , including next speaker, please. Public thank you for doing this. I know standing for lowincome people and poor people. I want to make sure to everyone that being poor is not being a criminal. People have families. They are not criminals. They are people this is a bigger problem. This is what i want to have. I have lived there close to 24 and i can see the difference between the 24th and 16th plaza. We want services for everyone and more services for the people who are more in need. We need Affordable Housing. [indiscernible] public this is why we are proposing to build the marble. It will be Affordable Housing and we need more solutions around housing. Otherwise we are not going to solve anything. Thank you again. I hope we continue this conversation and engagement of the community. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Public my conversation is not only about number three, but also number four as well. First of all, youre going to continue to have this frontal with people being out on the street just as long as you keep building new Apartment Building complexes. And you set the medium and requirement of the income above and far above the level of income for the lowincome people thats in that income bracket that need housing. You got people on Social Security benefits, permanent disability benefits, Retirement Benefits and veterans who are in income brackets always below the medium that you set the requirement. You always set it at 80 , 90 of the medium produced by h. U. D. As a result, the people cannot apply. You claim that mission is Affordable Housing. You have a hispanic female and her daughter be a pitch person on a commercial that was shown nationwide i mean city wide and getting people to think that people in lowincome brackets can apply and be a tenant at an Apartment Building complex called mission rock. When you look at the fine print, you find the people in that income bracket cannot afford to move in that building. It is discuss gusting. Thats fraud disgusting. Thats fraud. [bell]. Public 2030 of the medium and you always make the requirement at 70125 of the medium. You make statements the new low income is 125,000 a year. Thats disgusting. Thats disgusting. Since when is somebody making 125,000 a year need to be part of a lowincome Affordable Housing program . [bell]. Thank you. Next speaker, please. [microphone off] [indiscernible] thank you. Your time is up. Thank you. Public good morning. My name is maryland duran. Im a Community Organizer and part of the plaza 16 coalition. 16th street b. A. R. T. Is one of the places im familiar with along with 24th street b. A. R. T. And knowing that since this Affordable Housing crisis we have seen more folks having to be in that area with no place to go. I applaud supervisor ronen and bevan dufty for coming out to the community and having conversations. Thats a lot of things we lack with community and city collaboration is that theres lack of communication and collaboration. It is overseen from city hall and not deep and engrained in the community. Where people who live in s. R. O. s. I had a friend who passed away in his car because he had nowhere to go and often was in the plaza. Just applauding there are folks who are in the community and are members who really want to have this dialogue and need a pathway to housing. A year ago on valentines day, i was here advocating for more Senior Housing for both senior and homeless seniors. Knowing that is a pathway we need for our communities who are out there and have nowhere else to go. And we as a Community Know that you can continue to do outreach and you can have a pipeline of outreach. If it has nowhere to go, you are creating a pipeline to go nowhere. Again i want to alaud the efforts and we need applaud the efforts and we need to create more plans and Solutions LikeAffordable Housing. Like the gentleman mentioned before, we people who are lowincome who dont fit in the bracket. Communities have solutions. [bell]. Public community can also be planners and we need to be deep and collaborate with community. Thank you. Thank you. Any closing comments . Vice chair ronen i just wanted to thank you everyone from coming out today. When i called this hearing, we hadnt received the great news from b. A. R. T. I just really want to thank b. A. R. T. For listening and for stepping up. I want to thank Community Members like eric for funding the downtown streets team. I didnt realize that was you. I want to really tell you how grateful i am. I have seen them with my own eyes. Thank you for that. And for all the members of community who came out. This is really governments job to fix these problems that we have had in the b. A. R. T. Station. And were starting to do that and were just going to get better over time. Appreciate my colleagues for taking so much time with this hearing as well. It lasted a while, but it is well worth it. Lets keep up the great work. With that we can go ahead and make a motion to file the hearing. I should gavel down Public Comment. Sorry. Anymore public testimony . Okay. Vice chair ronen i make a motion to file the hearing. Thank you. No objection . Okay. The hearing is filed. Thank you. Now i would like to call item number two, please. Clerk motion verifying that cafe envy llc doing business as cafe envy has completed the preapplication meeting requirement under california business profession code for the issuance of new nontrancial type87 neighbor hood restricted special on sale general Liquor License. We will now hear from city departments on this item. Ben van hooten can give us a background on the type87 Liquor License. Sure. Thank you. Good morning chair sheehy and members of the committee. This is a type87 should i i would like to welcome supervisor cohen to the hearing and thank him for sponsoring this item. If there are any comments you would like to make. Supervisor cohen just a few comments. Thank you. Im very pleased to present this item before you today. This is a type87 Liquor License application for new business in the bayview called cafe envy. I want to emphasize my support for this particular license type. As some of you know, the bayview is a restricted use district, meaning theres a cap in place for Liquor License applications due to a historic proliferation of liquor retailers. Type87 licenses are a new type of Liquor License recently adopted by the state legislature in 2016 and they are affordable. The goal is to help restaurants who in turn help their surrounding neighborhoods. These businesses supply jobs. They bring traffic to a neighborhood and they help keep the dollars circulating in the community. It is particularly exciting to be able to uplift and support black women opening up a a black woman opening up her second business. I will have bragging rights, a friend and a former classmate. Although she is a year older than me. For the record. [laughter] supervisor cohen none nonetheless it gives me professional and personal sat satisfaction to advocate on aprils behalf. She creates delicious dishes and makes space for events at her current restaurant which is a tradition i imagine she will continue. I want to thank you, april, for what you have done. What you have brought to the bayview community. A tremendous asset. As the neighborhood continues to grow and to change, you are definitely a Business Owner we want to sustain, a Business Owner that we want to continue to support and support in your professional growth over time. So, without further adieu, i would like to invite Ben Van Hooten to provide an overview of the requirements for Community Outreach for this particular applicant. Thank you, ben. Thank you, supervisor. To quickly outline, the type87 is a new type of Liquor License that has a unique preapplication Community Outreach component different from other Liquor Licenses. So, what the resolution that youre considering today is about certifying that that preapplication Community Outreach has taken place. Should this be successful and this will ultimately perform part of the packet that cafe envy will submit. And they will go through the full application process. As specified in the legislation, sb 1285 adopted a couple of years ago, the application has to send a notice out to residents within 500 feet from the location. Has to note planning groups and send a note to the chief of police as well. That note has to happen 14 days before a Community Meeting. It has to occur within a mile of the proposed Business Location and then ultimately there has to be that Community Meeting has to be held. And evidence of that Community Meeting has to be submitted and so your packet includes evidence from those steps certifying the mailing happened. That the actual mailer itself, notes from the Community Meeting and the abc form that ultimately cafe envy will need. And im happy to answer any technical questions but i would be happy to invite april spears from cafe envy to discuss her project in more detail. Supervisor cohen thank you. We will invite april spears to describe the project and outreach strategy and the work you have done. Welcome. Thank you. Im april spears, the owner of aunty aprils chicken and soul waffles and the new owner of cafe envy. This is Megan Mitchell, my community partner. Together were going to bring a really exciting project to bayview. Expanding is really, you know, at heart for me. Im so excited to continue to bring great entertainment, great food, comradery and a place where people can come and just the community can come and what do you say . Supervisor cohen hang out. Hang out basically. [laughter] in a safe, fun environment. I have been in business on the corner for 12 years now. So, expanding im so excited about it. I cant even put my words together. And i will let megan talk a little about what we are going to do. We did the 500 mailer. We did hold a Community Meeting. Very few people did show to meeting. However, i was in contact with several of our neighborhood organizations, merchants of the town, Economic Development on third street. I have had a phone conference with officer gordon in talking about what it is that were going to be bringing to the corridor. And i have been able to gather quite a bit of support from new residents as well as the oldtimers of the neighborhood who are really looking forward to bringing back basically a historic location that a lot of them have missed. Because prior to cafe envy, it used to be the monte carlo which is a place of meeting for a lot of the older Community Members. So, they are very excited to see something coming back to the corridor that they dearly missed. I will let megan talk elaborate a little more about the project. Supervisor cohen i just want to recognize Megan Mitchell who is also a native San Franciscoian and has done and written a lot of articles that have been publicized. Thank you. What were doing with cafe envy, i dont know if any of you have been to third street, but there are going to be a ton of restaurants and things opening up along the corridor. The thing about third street is you have places that either close at 3 00 or open at 5 00. We will be bridging that gap of nothing happening on third street. We will be open all day long. This is the place that we want our residents to go to when they want to get things done. Think cafe bean bag. You know how that place is open all day long. We are going to have heart. Were going to have Live Entertainment and most pointly healthy food thats so crucial in our district. We want kids to come and pick up snacks after school. For anybody who is just in the area to come and look at us as a place to hang out. And then we will also be bridging the night life gap. After hours not after hours but 7 00 p. M. To 10 00 p. M. Doing fun things 21 and up. It should be pretty exciting and we are super excited arent we . Yeah [laughter] supervisor cohen thank you, ladies. I cook better than i speak by the way. Supervisor cohen i dont know if you have any remaining questions for the applicants or for staff. I ask that you give this business your support and vote and send this back to the full board with a positive recommendation and then we could take Public Comment. Thank you. Is there any public testimony . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Do we have a motion . Vice chair ronen i just wanted to say im very excited to send this to the board with positive recommendation. It sounds incredible. I cant wait to be a client or patron. But i wanted to thank you o. E. W. D. For bringing this program into existence. Especially for some of the older businesses run by native San Franciscoans. Having a Liquor License will make or break a business. I want to thank you. Im really excited in seeing these applications come through this committee after years of work that i know youve been doing is such a happy thing to watch. I just wanted to appreciate you as well. Thank you very much. With that i will make a motion to bring this item forward with positive recommendations. No objections . No. Thats it right . Still figuring this out. That, mr. Clerk. Please call item four. Clerk a hearing on the Homeless Navigation Center including number of people served, efficacy and impact on host neighborhoods. Thank you. Supervisor cohen. Supervisor cohen yes. Thank you. One more piece of business that i have brought to this committee and again, thank you for hearing this item. This is an important one because what were going to be doing is discussing about the Homeless Navigation Centers. They often services and flexibility to move people permanently off the streets and into safe and supportive systems. Kind of been a theme all morning for this committee what we are doing with our homeless crisis. We are pouring tens of millions of dollars into the buildsout to support the navy congratulations centers because we believe Navigation Centers because we believe it is the most efficient way to help people experiencing homelessness. Is this a good investment . I called this hearing to understand how does the department of homelessness think about, quote, success . Success looks different to different people and i want to make sure we are on the same page and were getting a good solid return on our investment. So, im going to frame this hearing in three different parts. Im interested in three top issues. First, getting people off the streets. In particular i want to know how many people have we moved into the theyre congratulations centers Navigation Centers . How many go back on to the streets after their maximum 60day stay . Do any people return to Navigation Centers after the 60d
